casually "instigated" a bowl of noodles in a small shop on the street, and Gong Jie happily pulled Lin Ming to the game hall.

This arcade is a tucked away place, in an old-fashioned residential building on Xiangchun Road. At that time, the schools on Xiangchun Road belonged to the key protection units of the Chengguan District Police Station in the center of the city, because there were many schools here, and there were too many fights here every day. If there is a conflict or a fight between students in a school or a nearby school, a phone call will come to the junior high school to bully people, and a phone call will come a few minutes away. Moreover, at that time, Yuncheng was carrying out a new trend of stressing civilization and cultivating a new style, allowing minors to enter the game hall, which was the target of the police station and the Cultural Bureau. So the game hall is also more and more hidden.

The two came here and climbed to the fifth floor. A rusty tin door, ajar, smelling of smoke and the air was muddy, and it smelled very uncomfortable.

Gong Jie didn't care and jumped in through the half-hidden door, and called Lin Ming's name inside, asking him to come in quickly. Lin Ming had to open the door and go in. The space inside is not large, about seventy or eighty square meters, full of game consoles, many students and young people in society are crackling and playing games, and business is very hot.

Lin Ming touched the remaining two yuan in his pocket and pouted, not planning to squander it. In the morning, my mother gave him ten yuan. In this era, the price is not high, and there are only three pieces of flour with shredded meat. Lunch was settled at school, and now only that remains.

Don't think that Lin Ming just took out 500,000 yuan to start an Internet company, he is very rich now. In fact, he was very controlled by his family, and his family knew that he would stay in the company about the dividends, so he was not taken by his family. The 200,000 yuan in song copyright dividends was originally to be handed over. But Lin Ming panicked and said that he was still investing in the company, although Fang Lan and Lin Changqing were skeptical, but this was originally Lin Ming's money, so it didn't matter. And they don't think it's going to be too much because they have no idea how much a song can sell for. I thought it was a trivial matter of a few hundred dollars at most. Otherwise, the money would have been taken away by the parents long ago, and there would be nothing left.

This makes Lin Ming often have a situation where he doesn't have much cash.

Gong Jie still has a little money to spare, after all, his grades are very good, he is favored by his aunt at home, and his pocket money is still saved by dozens of yuan every month. And this kid has a good business mind, he studied in a boarding school in the first year of junior high school, and sold instant noodles in the dormitory at night, costing 3 yuan, and selling a bucket for 10 yuan, making a lot of money.

He bought two yuan copper plates, a total of ten, and gave half of them to Lin Ming very gently. The game hall of this era is not as high-end and commercial as the game city of later generations, and twenty yuan can only buy a few game coins, and the entertainment is not so good. Although the current game hall is not as rich in style as in the future, it is very entertaining, and one game currency can be played for a long time. Lin Ming looked around, the entire hall was full of old-fashioned game machines, divided into two rows, there were about two dozen densely piled up inside, and there were two slot machines stuffed in the corner. The boss's counter can only be nested in the corner of the triangle on the right side of the entrance. Room availability is very limited.

Such a game hall is full of fire and safety hazards. But I have to admit that this is the characteristic of this era, full of many people's memories and the imprint of the era. Especially in this kind of old town, before it was demolished and rebuilt, the complex old neighborhood was very suitable for opening such a chaotic entertainment venue.

There were a lot of people inside, and a cursory look at the past showed that there might be forty or fifty people in a room of sixty or seventy square meters. Most of them are students, and if they don't have money, they just watch others play in the back, and sometimes they are lucky, and when they have something to leave, they can play game characters that others haven't died yet.

Gong Jie ran to play the Three Kingdoms Wars, many people should know this game, everyone who came over in that era knows that it is a classic with the King of Fighters Metal Slug Bomb Superman. A lot of people like to play this to clear the level.

Lin Ming saw that the places of the four people were already crowded, so he casually walked around and took a look. But at this moment, he saw a familiar figure on the slot machine in the corner.

Zhou Yunkai.

He was playing a slot machine, and he was sitting there and he was throwing coins.

Lin Ming was amazed, this great god was a good student with excellent character and learning in the eyes of everyone, and a typical benchmark figure for other people's children in the courtyard. Not to mention playing game consoles in game halls, even the most popular computer games are rarely played. Unless he was pulled over by Fan Lei and Huang Anwen, it would never be possible to appear in such a place, and it was really strange to see him in a cramped corner of the game hall today. And looking at his appearance, he seems to be playing very seriously, not passing the time perfunctorily. Because every one of his pressing actions has to be carefully considered, which key is pressed for how many points, it is all designed, and it is not pressed randomly at all.

If Zhang Shao'an was sitting there, Lin Ming would not be surprised, because slot machines are said to involve mathematical logic, and in some magazines, you can often see the news that some foreign mathematicians play slot machines to make money.

Zhang Shaoan has always been very interested in mathematics, as the first prize winner of the future International Mathematics Olympiad gold medal, it is obviously normal and logical to study the mathematical calculation engineering that exists in slot machines. But it was Zhou Yunkai who was here, which was enough to surprise Lin Ming.

"Kaizi, what are you doing here?" Lin Ming walked over, patted Zhou Yunkai on the shoulder, and sat beside him.

Zhou Yunkai glanced back at him, and immediately turned his gaze back to the slot machine, and while playing with the machine seriously, he replied, "Do you see the boss behind the counter?" ”

Lin Ming turned his head to look at the counter, which was next to the gate and occupied a small area. Lin Ming didn't pay attention when he came in, but when he looked closely, he saw that the boss was a bald man, with a powerful appearance, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a tattoo on his body, and he was very scaring with his shirtless. It's a pity that such a big one is shrunk in a small counter, which is really a bit aggrieved. However, seeing the appearance of this boss as a social person, Lin Ming was not surprised. In this era, those who can open game halls must not only accurately seize business opportunities, but also have the ability to control the field. There are more young people in society than students who go to the arcade, and there are more chances of making trouble. I couldn't stop the field, and the store was smashed, but there was no place to cry.

It's just that Lin Ming is puzzled why Zhou Yunkai asked him to pay attention to that boss.

"See, what's wrong?"

"This person's name is Yuan Hao, he is very powerful in a place in the city center, he originally started by blackmailing students, and now he runs three game halls and a massage parlor, do you remember the two gangs of Mgzi and Liu Mengzi who were expelled in Changyi Lane?"

Lin Ming remembered that Changyi belonged to the three-legged tripod, and the Eight King Kongs were in the key class of Changyi. And Mgzi and Liu Mengzi are in the ordinary class, and everyone does not interfere with the river water, but Mgzi and Liu Mengzi are very inferior, often blackmailing students and robbing classmates of their living expenses, which is despicable. Once, he bullied Sun Yifei's younger brother, forcibly robbed him of a month's living expenses, and beat him severely. That incident led to a conflict between Sun Yifei and MgZi, under the reconciliation between Liu Mengzi and the rest of the Eight King Kongs, although there was no fight, but the words between the two sides were very fierce, if it were not for Zhou Yunkai and Zhang Shao'an to dissuade them, they almost started to move.

That adjustment actually made the rest of the Eight Vajra very confused, and they didn't understand why they shook hands and made peace.

Because at that time, Zhang Shaoan, Zhou Yunkai and Liu He did not accept younger brothers, but the status of the three of them was the same as Lin Ming.

And Sun Yifei, Zhao Hao, Huang Anwen, Fan Lei and Lin Ming all have a group of younger brothers, like Cao Yingwu in the fourth middle school, the source is that when Ba King Kong was still in junior high school, friends who mixed together in the school or nearby junior high schools. At the beginning, only Cao Yingwu and Song Ziqian followed Lin Mingming, because Ba King Kong was already in the same school in junior high school, but they were all in key classes, so they each became the boss in their own class, and a group of horses who followed them gathered around them. Lin Ming's gang in No. 4 Middle School, it turned out that many people were with Zhao Hao, Huang Anwen, Sun Yifei, Fan Lei, and them, and later Lin Ming happened to go to No. 4 Middle School, so everyone continued to play with him in No. 4 Middle School.

So don't look at the eight King Kongs, there are 8 people, but outside, everyone is the boss. The combined power is quite amazing, each of them can casually pull out a dozen people in their own class, and together, there may be hundreds of people. With such a large force, even if there is a head-on conflict between the Eight Vajra and the milligram, it is not false at all.

Even one dozen and two, plus Liu Mengzi's gang, there is no problem.

But Zhou Yunkai still forcibly dissuaded Sun Yifei and did not allow them to clash. This puzzled the rest of the people at the time, but later everyone understood that Zhou Yunkai had other ways to deal with them, and he didn't have to fight with them on the Eight King Kongs.

After all, everyone was a junior high school student at that time, and once the matter became big, it was easy to alarm the school and lead to expulsion.

Zhou Yunkai gave birth to a poisonous plan at that time, although Liu Mengzi did not provoke the Eight King Kongs, but their next actions made the Eight King Kongs very unaccustomed to it. Everyone basically has no friendship, they play their own games, and they are all right. But that conflict gave Zhou Yunkai the idea of cleaning up together, so a desperate plan was born.

Milligram and Liu Mengzi are greedy, and there are several wealthy students in the ordinary class, under their persecution, to become their god of wealth, and they have to provide a certain amount of money every month, which is commonly known as protection money, covering them from being bullied. Some of those students from wealthy families were willing to become minions for the tiger, and some dared to be angry and swallowed their anger. Zhou Yunkai found one of the honest students, a god of wealth belonging to Liu Mengzi, and helped him raise a huge sum of money - 500 yuan. That was in 2000, and $500 was equivalent to two months' wages for many people. A student has such a sum of money, for anyone, it is no less than a child holding a gold ingot.

So, the money was "accidentally" seen by Mg, and it was only natural that the money was forcibly snatched away by him.

In front of Mgzi, the student did not say that it was an offering that would be handed over to Liu Mengzi this month. And when it came to Liu Mengzi's ears, it was normal to turn it into a reasonable month's money, which was handed over to him, but it was snatched away by the milligram.

The relationship between these two groups and the Eight King Kong is different, the Eight King Kong and them are not in the same school building, and the two sides do not see each other. These two groups of people are in the ordinary class of Sipei Building, and they don't see each other when they look up, so naturally no one obeys anyone, but everyone is more restrained and has not clashed. Even on the surface, they have a good relationship.

But this incident completely became the fuse, igniting the paper-like connection between the two sides.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the battle raged endlessly. Originally, there were a few times when they almost shook hands and made peace, but Zhou Yunkai tried to find a way to sow discord from them, so far these two groups of people completely formed a mortal enemy, and finally caused many fights and made trouble on the table of the school leaders. The results speak for themselves, both sides have been expelled, and Changyi has since become the Eight King Kong family.
