Chapter 1: July 18th, Let's Get Started
"Liu Xin, hurry up, it's almost 7 o'clock, don't get up yet, hurry up, go to Interstellar." With a burst of banging on the door, Liu Xin was woken up in his sleep, opened his sleepy eyes, walked over to open the dormitory door, and shouted: "You bastards, I didn't go to bed until 6 o'clock, and I woke people up at 7 o'clock, and I still have no public morality." "There were a few barebacked, shirtless and slipper-shirted boys standing at the door, led by none other than the third fanatic of StarCraft Online Battle.
"Big brother, it's 7 o'clock in the evening, not 7 o'clock in the morning. You forget, the night show of the Internet café starts at 8 o'clock. Now to go to a meal, to walk to the Internet café, the time is about the same. Hurry up to 8 o'clock, you can also play more, hurry. "The third brother is a little anxious. The third brother pushed the Sichuan character in his name because he pushed the Sichuan character to it, so he called him the third brother. "Oops, I forgot about it, let's go." Liu Xin turned around and picked up his shirt, put on his slippers, and took the door and left.
It was the afternoon of July 18, 1999, and the school was out for the summer holidays. Some of the classmates didn't plan to go home, and some wanted to go back a few days later, so they made up enough for 6 people. Because there was no one on summer vacation, in order to attract business, the Internet café advanced the night flight, which started at 10 o'clock, to 8 o'clock. Under the mediation of the third brother, every day the night machine is online to fight against StarCraft, and the night machine is because it is cheap, and StarCraft was played online all night yesterday, and Liu Xin has not woken up until now.
Several people didn't say anything all the way, and soon came to the side of the school's 11th house. 11 The house is close to the school wall, and the road has been opened by former pioneers. Several tables of varying heights form a staircase, the highest point of which is exactly level with the 3-meter-high wall. Outside the wall, there are also villagers who do business to build a safe trapezoidal path with mounds of earth and stones, so that school traversers can climb over the wall.
Liu Xin seems to have forgotten something, he always can't think of it, and walks last. Seeing that the other people were flying over the fence like dragonflies, they suddenly exclaimed: "It's broken, I forgot to bring the key, the key is locked in the dormitory, and I can't go back." ”
"I thought it was something, I saw you grinding and chirping. I'll take my ID with me, and I'll open the door for you when I go back. Hurry, hurry. Standing at the top of the wall, the hooligan shouted like a hero. Rogue because StarCraft's style of play is more rogues, so Liu Xin and they called him Rogue Gan.
"It's still thoughtful, let's go." Liu Xin also jumped over the fence quickly. The ID card is moderately soft and hard, and it is often used by students to open the dormitory door that is not very strict.
Soon, the group came to a small restaurant outside the walls called Outside the Wall. "Boss, 6 people, braised eggplant, fragrant dried bacon, dried radish fried bacon, celery fried bacon, fried bean sprouts, fried greens. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to hit the interstellar! Brother Chuan ordered the dish loudly.
"A few brothers are here, you sit first, soon." The restaurateur responded loudly. The owner is about 40 years old, wearing shorts, tank top, slippers, and a mess of stubble. The villagers of this village have beautiful and gentle wives.
Soon, the proprietress brought the dishes, 6 dishes, and a tomato and egg soup. "Brothers, send me a soup today, tomato and egg soup." The restaurateur shouted in the kitchen. Said it was a kitchen, but in fact, a shed was built in the yard and a stove was supported. This boss has always been very generous, and there is no stinginess of Changsha people at all.
"Thank you, thank you." Liu Xin, the third brother and a few people said thank you, and then quickly swept up. The dishes in the restaurant are very simple, and the price is very uniform, all of them are 3 yuan, and the meal does not cost money. Generally, students in schools come out to order meat dishes, because students are generally poor, and today there is a guy in this group who eats halal food, so he ordered a vegetarian dish today. By the way, when Changsha people say rice, they specifically refer to rice. If Changsha people ask you what kind of rice you eat, they are asking what kind of dish you eat with rice. Ask if you have eaten, if you eat fried noodles, you can't answer that you have eaten.
It was only 10 minutes, and several people swept up the dishes and ate 2 pots of rice in the restaurant, and the third brother charged 3 yuan per person and paid the bill. Everyone has always been in the AA system, and students have no money, and this is the case every day. Young people eat a lot of food, go out to eat, and also like this kind of small restaurant where rice does not cost money. Rice doesn't cost money, so maybe it's early rice. According to the Changsha people, they don't eat early rice, and early rice is fed to pigs. Changsha people are so heroic.
A group of people came to the Internet café, which was located under the restaurant outside the wall. As for the direction, Liu Xin has never figured it out, maybe he is a bit of a road idiot and often loses his way. This Internet café is the long-term stronghold of Liu Xin, the third brother and their classmates, and it was opened by a young couple. The proprietress is young and beautiful, the boss is young and handsome, and it is also possible that they are a couple because they don't know if they are married.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xin found that only the proprietress was alone today, and only a few people were on the plane, and they were all students who did not go home during the summer vacation. Several people quickly sat down, and at exactly 8 o'clock, Liu Xin and the hooligans were in a group with Xiaodong, and Brother Chuan and two other classmates were in a group. In Liu Xin's class, Rogue Gan and Third Brother are the two people with the best StarCraft skills.
"Boss, turn on those six machines," the third brother went to the bar and paid 90 yuan, and then quickly returned to his seat. "Let's go back, everyone will give the third brother 15 yuan, okay, everyone is in place, ready to work." Rogue officers issue orders like a commander.
"Drip, drip, drip, drip." At the moment when everyone started working, an inappropriate voice suddenly remembered, "Whose BB machine, hurry up and turn it off, delay the matter." The third brother was shouting.
"Third brother, you are the only one who has a BB machine." Liu Xin was sitting opposite the third brother and heard it clearly.
"Ah, my phone number, let me call back quickly. I went to call back, and it was a real disappointment. The third brother hurriedly looked at the BB machine and said helplessly, "You guys play first, I'll go out and call back." ”
The third brother went out to find an IC card phone booth to call back. Liu Xin's third brother in his class has the best conditions at home, and he has no mobile phone, only a BB machine, which is still Hanxian's, and his scientific name is pager.
"Let's play the others first, wait for the third brother to come back, and then go online." The rascal suggested. Everyone had no choice but to play the stand-alone game on their own.
