In fact, Yi Xuan has another place in his heart, that is, near his former university, if he remembers correctly, there used to be an arcade hall in a small alley behind the school, which he frequented when he first came to this city, at that time, he was just a freshman, and there was no computer, the only entertainment was the Internet café and the game hall, and the game hall was close to the back door of the school, and it could be reached by walking for five minutes, so it had always been his first choice, and he still remembered that his classmates called the game hall "White Room Game Hall." It's not that the boss gave it a name, but because it's an underground game hall, so there is no signboard, and the only geographical feature is the whitewashed house.

It's been two or three years since he left school, and Yi Xuan is really not sure whether the arcade hall still exists, so he has always regarded this game hall as the bottom option, but according to the current situation, Yi Xuan feels that the chance of finding an arcade hall that retains traditional game machines outside does not seem to be as good as the chance that the white room still exists, so after thinking about it, he still turned around and drove towards Dongcheng.

That's right, Yi Xuan's alma mater is in Dongcheng District, when he first arrived in this city, Xicheng District was not as developed as it is now, Dongcheng District is the center of gravity of the economy, and his school should belong to the suburbs of Dongcheng District.

Yi Xuan drove for about an hour before coming to his former alma mater, the difference between the school and when Yi Xuan left was not too big, the gate had been repaired, and it looked more solemn than when he was there, and the students at the door hurriedly walked by, holding a few books in their arms.

Yi Xuan bypassed the school and came to the back door, which was different from the main entrance, it seemed to be more dilapidated than a few years ago, and the car drove in, and the road seemed narrower and dirtier than he remembered.

"Hey, it's still there." Seeing the white house from afar, Yi Xuan's heartbeat actually accelerated a little, and he didn't know if it was the excitement of finding the game hall or the sentimentality of revisiting the old place after many years.

When he arrived outside the Baifang Arcade Hall, Yi Xuan was surprised to find that the game hall actually had a signboard, called 'Rainbow Game Hall', the signboard was not big, and it was very simple, but it was a metal plate made of unknown material, and it was written with blue paint.

Look at the font is likely to be the masterpiece of the students of the art department of the school, and then look at the degree of fading on it should have been a few years old, the signboard is very incongruous pasted with a new white paper, on the number of words bold printed two lines of words: this room for rent cash, contact number: ***********

Damn, this is the rhythm of Huangpu. Yi Xuan looked at the two lines and said that it was not good, but since he had already come, he had to go in and take a look at what he said, and with the idea of what happened, Yi Xuan still walked in.

There is no such noisy sound as I remember, and the light in the house is very dim, it seems that the owner of the house has never wanted to decorate it properly, or that the place has lost its value.

The room was about a hundred square meters, unobstructed in all directions, Yi Xuan saw that most of the machines were closed, only a few machines were on, and there was a red or blue light coming out, and there was a player standing in the front half, nervously operating. The sound effects emitted by each machine seemed to be so small that only the player could hear it, and standing in Yi Xuan's position sounded distant and oppressive.

It is estimated that it is to save electricity, Yi Xuan thought to himself, walked in and took a closer look at the machines against the wall, and what surprised him was that he knew all the machines that were open, and they were all games that he had played in his impression, it seemed that this boss had not been updated, but these were exactly what he needed.

After turning around, Yi Xuan found that the people playing games in the room were counted on one hand, and the coin sellers were sitting listlessly behind the counter playing with their mobile phones.

Hey, what's the reason for this style that is popular among people who sell coins now? Yi Xuan felt a burst of amusement in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the little coin seller with smoky makeup who looked like he didn't answer.

"Boss, why doesn't the machine turn on?" Yi Xuan raised his voice slightly and asked the boss.

The man's eyes were still staring at the computer, he didn't raise his head, and replied loudly: "It's turned on to pay for electricity, and the two money you earn are not enough for electricity. "Sure enough, it's an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Yi Xuan shook his head and looked at the game consoles, and sure enough, there was a blank piece of paper pasted next to each game console, on which the name of the game was written. In fact, the name of the game can be seen from the game console.,The boss may be afraid that some novices will come to play.,I'm not sure about the game.,One will open this.,One will open that one.。

"Okay, then let's open a King of Fighters first, and give me five dollars." Yi Xuan said and put the money on the counter.

The boss was still reluctant to raise his eyes from the phone, even if the business came to the door, he still didn't look at Yi Xuan with his eyes open, touched the counter twice, grabbed the money, and took out a small stack of coins from below and threw it on the counter.

Yi Xuan counted it, five, "One dollar and one coin?" That's too expensive, right? ”

When I first came to play, it was three yuan, although the price has risen, but this is too ......, and it is no different from playing with coins.

"Hehe, don't be too expensive." Hearing Yi Xuan's complaint, the boss finally raised his head, "I won't be able to play if I want to play in two more days, it's not that I'm blowing it to you, we will have an old game hall like this in S City, and we will soon have a yellow shop, and you won't be able to play again in two years." Anything is worth a lot of money as soon as it is going to be extinct, and if I collect these machines here, they will be antiques in a few hundred years, and you can't look at them when you line up to buy tickets. ”

Yi Xuan heard the boss say this, and his feelings were developing towards the museum, Yi Xuan smiled helplessly. With the game currency in hand, I went to an arcade machine of The King of Fighters.

The boss stopped talking, walked over and turned on the machine, and went back to his chair to look at his phone.

Yi Xuan waited for the machine to open, stuffed a coin into it, and put his hand on the joystick, don't you say that although this game hall is shabby, but the machine feels good to use, and I don't know if this boss maintains the machine well or there are fewer people to play and less wear.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan's heart moved, because he had always been accustomed to the thinking mode of a small citizen, he always forgot that he was already a million-dollar tyrant.

Looking at the joystick in his hand, and then looking at the large number of various game consoles around, Yi Xuanxin said Why do I have to go to someone else's store to play, if I buy all the machines here, wouldn't I play casually.

Although it is close to the school, it is the back door after all, and the house is in disrepair, and the estimated rent is not much, the more I think about it, the more feasible it is, Yi Xuan has no interest in continuing to play, and he turned around one game console after another, confirming that almost all the games he wants are here.

"Alas, I said, didn't you let you open it again after you saw it? What are you looking around? The boss didn't know when he raised his head from the phone, and looked at Yi Xuan looking at the machine one by one, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

Yi Xuan stopped but didn't care, and went straight to the front of the cashier: "Boss, are you cashing out in this store?" ”

The boss's eyes lit up when he heard it, to be honest, the information newspaper of this exchange was also sent, and the school also posted it, but except for an accident that made a wrong call and thought it was a graduate school entrance examination class, the real question of the game hall was almost zero.

looked Yi Xuan up and down, but the boss was a little discouraged: "Yes." After saying that, his eyes opened again to look at the phone.

I thought that the buyer had finally come, but looking at the suit and leather shoes worn by Yi Xuan, he looked like a master who could open a game hall.

"How much are you going to exchange?"

The boss seemed to be about to give up, and said impatiently: "Fifty thousand! ”

"Fifty thousand?" Yi Xuan glanced back at the room, although he had not done business, but how to look at these broken machines were not worth 50,000 yuan, if this was the case, it would be better to contact the manufacturer or something to buy two new ones. "Too expensive, isn't it?" Yi Xuan muttered.

The boss became interested again when he heard Yi Xuan's words, since he was bargaining with himself, it didn't seem to be a joke: "Young man, what are you going to do with the store?" ”

"What else can you do with the store, of course it's a game hall." Yi Xuan didn't say that he wanted to play by himself, after all, it sounded too strange.

"yes? Then I'll show you. The boss suddenly ignited hope, and immediately walked out from behind the counter, introducing the situation while walking, this game hall is actually no stranger to Yi Xuan, the location of the kitchen and bathroom is well known, and the machine has just looked at it, so there is nothing to look at, but this is also a fixed process, so I followed the boss around the inside and outside of the house.

"The rent is due in three months, the rent is 25,000 a year, such a big store is not expensive, the front is the university, and there are many students who come to play, especially on holidays, sometimes it is not busy at all, if you cash it, you have to hire a waiter." The store that was about to die just now instantly became a hot commodity in the owner's mouth.

Yi Xuanxin said that you are fooling, it's not that you haven't studied here, on holidays, who stays in school, they generally go home, only some students from other places stay in school, but most of them are playing on the computer, and someone will come to you to play arcade? Although it is funny in my heart, I don't bother to say it on my lips.

"Alright, boss, let's negotiate the price." Yi Xuan interrupted his chatter.

"Well, it's 50,000 yuan for others, if you want it sincerely, 45,000, three months' rent is included." The boss looked generous.

"Then you'd better redeem someone else." Yi Xuan turned around and was about to walk out.
