It's past four o'clock in the afternoon.

After coming out of the rental house, Yang Yu looked for Internet cafes all over the street.

Finally, outside an inconspicuous alleyway, I saw a prominent three-character signboard written on a wooden board - a computer room

It's a sign that's been forgotten for a long time.

The predecessor of the Internet café transition, the computer house, is estimated to be the predecessor of the Internet café, which many post-90s generations may not have seen.

With the mentality of reliving the old times, Yang Yu walked into the small alleyway, there is a small wooden door on the right, connecting the gaps in the wall, and a lot of red bricks are exposed, it seems that the boss smashed his house and made a laneway storefront.

He walked over and pushed open the small wooden door, and before he could enter, he was greeted by a pungent stench, which was the disgusting smell of cigarettes mixed with sweaty feet.

This made Yang Yu, who originally wanted to relive the Internet café of this era, almost vomited on the spot without nausea, it was too bad to smell.

It's like the smell of some stinky fruit mixed with moldy garbage.

I really don't know how these players managed to survive in such a hostile environment.

In this environment, it is estimated that people will have to live a few years less.

It's really a shame to go online.

Next to the small wooden door, there is a counter with computers, and the shelves behind it are densely packed with some instant noodles and mineral water.

Just when Yang Yu was about to go in and have a look, he saw a middle-aged man walk out of it, and after seeing Yang Yu, he asked directly, "Go online?" ”

"Well, surf the Internet." Yang Yu nodded.

The middle-aged boss went straight back to the counter and sat down, and then pointed to the inside of the room: "Find a machine yourself, find it and come and talk to me about how many hours." ”

"What kind of games do you have?"

Yang Yu glanced at the room, there were about a dozen machines, and there were six or seven customers surfing the Internet at the moment, and the crackling keyboards came and went.

The boss was surprised and said, "Everything should be there." "Legend", "Miracle", "King of Kings", "Stone Age", as well as "Endless Mission", "Paradise" and so on, which were just released last month, basically I found someone to install them. ”

The first thing a lot of people do when they come to the Internet is to ask them if there are any games they play in the computer room, and if they don't have the games they play, just turn around and leave.

In these years, the game still needs to be installed on a disc, not like it was downloaded directly from the Internet as it was later, not to mention the installation of a virtual hard disk.

So these computer houses with only a dozen computers, many games are incomplete, and only phenomenal games like "Legend" that are popular have really been installed in every computer room.

"Are there more people playing Legend now?"

"A lot, a lot of people come to our Internet café to play, but lately everyone has been playing "Paradise". It's a new game, plus it's made abroad, so there are still a lot of people playing it. ”

After the boss finished speaking, he also came back to his senses and asked impatiently, "Are you on the Internet?" Go out without going online. ”

"Up, up."

Yang Yu casually pointed to an empty machine not far away and said, "That's it, two hours." ”

"Ten bucks. Pay the money first and then go online. ”

"Here you go."

Yang Yu gave ten yuan, and when he walked to the computer, he also sighed that it was really a seller's market these days.

It's like the later Internet cafes, one by one, they engaged in big activities, not to mention how much they charged, and hired some beautiful girls to play role-playing, specifically to accompany the players to play games.

It's a little more expensive, but I can't stand the girls' "little brother" is fascinating.

Sitting down, Yang Yu skillfully found the host button, and after turning on the computer, he also looked at the big-headed computer in front of him, which was really antique.

After the boot of more than a minute, the computer screen revealed the classic W98 interface.

The dense game icons with poor pixel sense on the screen made Yang Yu subconsciously want to open the antivirus software and clear these rogue software.

After reacting that this is the characteristic of this era, Yang Yu is also very unaccustomed to clicking on the IE browser that comes with the system, and he does not dislike the traces left behind by the liquid on the keyboard, and directly and quickly enters the URL of Qiandu.

In 2000, after Lao Li founded Qiandu, in less than three years, he defeated the foreign search engine Google and became the preferred search engine for netizens.

But this is only relative, many netizens don't care about what search engines, they just want games!

Switched to the unskilled Wubi input method, Yang Yu opened the web interface of hao123, and then began to browse the latest online game status.

At this time, because of the rapid development of online games, hao123.com websites have also opened up separate game channels, but most of them are just used for the promotion of bad money.

After all, most netizens in these years are relatively simple, and when they see that all the Internet is discussing a certain game as fun, they will subconsciously think that this game is very popular.

Everyone loves to play popular games, which naturally drives the number of players to the promoted games.

"The Stone Age has come out in this version, and it seems that this game is basically coming to an end."

"The legend is still so hot, the dragon slayer knife can still be sold for 10,000 yuan now?"

"Endless Quest has 100,000 players in just one month after it was launched? Really? Could it be that today's netizens already have a hobby of swords and magic? ”

“……”

Yang Yu quickly browsed through the most popular games on the game channel, and finally locked on a game suitable for making auxiliary plug-ins - endless tasks.

Yang Yu hadn't played this game before, but he also heard a lot about the popularity of this game from others.

Since its first launch in China in January 2003, Endless Quest has won the favor of more than 400,000 domestic players.

It's a good thing to have a lot of players, but that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the game really fits the name it came from, "Endless Quest".

Can you imagine that this game has fourteen races, fifteen classes for players to choose from?

Over 40 unique skills and talents.

There are five different continents to explore. (5 large maps, plus dozens of small maps)

Judging from the setting of this game alone, I know that this is an online game with liver and krypton.

In these years, there are only those who are really rich in krypton, and ordinary players are already very luxurious to spend money on some cards, so they would rather have more liver than spend money on any equipment or skills.

It's not that they don't want krypton, it's that they don't have money for krypton.

It costs money to go online, and it costs money to point cards.

These two big heads are here, don't think about krypton.
