Chapter 1 Master?

"Boss Cheng, do you think about the work?" The young man rubbed his hands and asked the middle-aged man in front of him awkwardly.

"Oh, Xiao Zhang. You see, there is no shortage of people here. Besides, you, a college student, come to my hot pot restaurant, and I can't afford it. The slightly bloated middle-aged man said helplessly.

"Boss Cheng, look at what you said, my salary is the same as others. It doesn't matter if it's less. The young man said quickly.

"But I really don't lack people here. If Xiao Zhang has a seat here next time, I will definitely treat you, okay?" Boss Cheng looked at the young man's eager face and played Taijiquan.

The young man came out disappointed, looked back at the signboard of 'Chengji Hot Pot' on his head, and sighed. He didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a job.

The young man named Zhang Yu graduated from a second-rate university in China. Like many college students, he spent four years of eating, drinking and playing in college. After graduating from college, he couldn't find a job and had to take his girlfriend back to his hometown. He wanted to support them with his college diploma. However, I didn't expect that the reality was so cruel. When I returned to my hometown for two months, I was a little confident to run to state-owned enterprises and private enterprises to find a job. Now I can find a job in places such as hot pot restaurants. However, even so, Zhang Yu still hasn't found a job.

Zhang Yu looked up at the gray sky and walked towards the rental house with a wry smile. It was another harvestless day. The rental house was rented by Zhang Yu for 100 yuan. The room is not big, and the dark wall is surrounded by stinky garbage, just like a refugee camp. Zhang Yu went to the door, tidied up his clothes, brewed his emotions to throw the unhappiness of the day out of his mind, and pushed open the shabby wooden door with a smile. Zhang Yu loves his girlfriend very much and smiles every time he goes home, as if everything in the world is beautiful. He doesn't want his unhappiness to affect his girlfriend.

There was food on the table, which was still the legendary three dishes and one soup. Zhang Yu looked around and didn't see his girlfriend. He said, "Have you go to work again?" Soon after his girlfriend came here, she found a job and had to work overtime from time to time. At that time, Zhang Yu also laughed and said that he would rely on his wife to support himself in the future.

When Zhang Yu picked up the meal on the table and was about to eat, he suddenly saw the white note on the table. What kind of anniversary is it today? No, I have kept the important days of myself and my girlfriend in mind. Zhang Yu opened the note in surprise and looked at it.

Yu: I'm sorry! He came today, and I left with him. I'm really happy to be with you, but I really don't want to live such a bad day. He will make me happy, and I hope you can find your own happiness. I'm leaving. Don't look for me. Everything in the past is a dream. When you wake up, it's over. I used to be greedy for your gentleness: peach

After Zhang Yu finished all this, his mind suddenly rushed into the inner room like lightning, looking at the empty room, and a pain in his heart. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and quickly dialed the familiar number 'wife'.

"Sorry, you dialed an empty number! Please check it and then dial... Du... Du..." There was a desperate voice on the phone that made Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu sat down and dialed the number instinctively over and over again with his mobile phone...

I don't know how long it took, and the surroundings have been blackened. Finally, it came out from the mobile phone, 'Your mobile phone's power is too low, and it will automatically turn off!' Suddenly, the mobile phone screen turned black, just like Zhang Yu's heart.

"Damn, what a broken mobile phone!" Zhang Yu looked at the mobile phone in his hand that couldn't even turn on and cursed and fell out.

Why? Why did you leave me? Zhang Yu kept shouting in his heart, and his dead eyes were as terrible as if they were from hell.

Zhang Yu walked on the street, which was incompatible with the noisy street.

"Hi, young man, do you want to have a barbecue? Authentic Sichuan barbecue and heavy beer." Zhang Yu didn't know how long he had been walking, and the sudden hawking in his ear woke him up. Looking at the dirty barbecue stalls on the roadside, Zhang Yu finally sat down.

"Boss, just bake something and five bottles of beer." Zhang Yu said with an enthusiastic boss in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Okay, it will be ready soon. Sit down for a while." When the boss heard Zhang Yu order, he said with a smile.

After a while, a few hot barbecues arrived in front of Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu picked up the beer and drank it. The cold beer flowed into his stomach, causing Zhang Yu's stomach to spit out the wine, and there was a bitterness in his mouth.

"Damn it, even the wine is against me. I still don't believe it." With that, Zhang Yu grabbed the beer bottle and poured it into his mouth. In less than ten seconds, a bottle of beer bottomed out. Zhang Yu couldn't help burping, and his mouth exuded the breath of alcohol. Zhang Yu quickly picked up the barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. Finally, a few barbecues were not so uncomfortable in his stomach.

Zhang Yu now knew that he couldn't drink too much, so he drank a glass of beer upside down. After drinking five bottles of beer, Zhang Yu was also a little drunk. Thinking of the desolate smell of returning to the rental house, Zhang Yu asked his boss for two bottles of beer to drink.

At this time, the number of people on the street is gradually decreasing. Although it is early summer, the night is still cool in Sichuan, a large province. After about an hour, the street became deserted, and even the guests of the barbecue stall were almost gone, and the boss began to put away the stall.

"Young man, we are going to close the stall..." The boss embarrassedly walked to Zhang Yu and said.

Zhang Yu raised his drowsy head and looked around. He found that he was the only one left at the booth. He also knew that it was late, otherwise the boss would not have come to catch the guests. He apologized to the boss and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot the time. How much is it in total?

"It's me who should be embarrassed. It's 44 yuan in total. Just give me 40 yuan. Obviously, the boss was also a little embarrassed. The roadside stall had not yet rushed to catch guests, so the boss had to lower the price.

Zhang Yu put his hand into his trouser pocket and took it out. He handed the boss a 50 yuan. With the 10 yuan recovered, Zhang Yu stumbled to the street.

The cold wind blowing from time to time made Zhang Yu sober up a lot that he would not have a car accident on the street. "vomit" Zhang Yu felt a colic in his stomach and quickly squatted down and vomited. The pain in the bottom of his heart and the dizziness made Zhang Yu feel that he was going to die. After a while, Zhang Yu finally got better and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Like me, I don't think anyone will care if he dies."

Zhang Yu looked around and found that he had walked to the "urban tribe" in a daze. Looking at the four big words that kept flashing, Zhang Yu seemed to go back to high school and skipped classes to play arcade games with those iron buddies, and he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Zhang Yu dragged his tired body into it.

Zhang Yu went to the bathroom and rinsed his mouth. He washed his face with cold water. Suddenly, he was much more energetic. He looked at himself with a pale face in the mirror, laughed at himself and walked out.

"Boss, give me four coins." Zhang Yu took out the remaining 10 yuan from the barbecue just now and handed it to the boss. He took the recovered 8 yuan and four coins and walked to the usual favorite 'King of Fighters'. At this time, it was past 11 p.m. Fortunately, the 'urban tribe' is open 24 hours a day. Now there are not too many people in the urban tribe. What makes Zhang Yu slightly depressed is that there is already a person sitting in front of the 'King of Fighters' machine. I haven't played it for a long time, but now I can try my own level. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu accelerated his pace and sat down in front of the machine.

"Master! Well, I didn't see you." The teenager next to him looked at Zhang Yu and shouted in surprise.

In the past, when Zhang Yu played the King of Fighters in the city tribe, he was one of the best figures in this. With a height of 1.8 meters, everyone also gave Zhang Yu a pun called "master". No matter who sees Zhang Yu, he will shout "master".

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at the teenager, looking at the other with some surprise. The figure in his mind kept flashing. Finally, Zhang Yu recognized the teenager in front of him and said with a smile, "Xiaobai, you are still here so late. Aren't you afraid that your mother will be angry?

Xiaobai is one of the few iron buddies he knew in the 'urban tribe' Zhang Yu in those years. Because Xiaobai's surname is Bai, and he is thin and everyone is used to calling him "Xiaobai". Zhang Yu also went to Xiaobai's house several times, so he also knew Xiaobai's family. However, after going to college, everyone's contact has also become less. Now Xiaobai has also changed. Without the same appearance as before, Zhang Yu can only faintly see a trace of that year.

Xiaobai took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. He smiled at Zhang Yu and said, "Master, come out and play with me when you have time. I'll go first!" After saying that, he ran out to the door.

Zhang Yu shouted at Xiaobai's back, "Okay! I'll call you then."

Zhang Yu cast a coin and chose several of his favorite characters to play alone. In the past, Zhang Yu also brought Taozi to the 'City Tribe' to play. At that time, Taozi loved to play in the dancing machine. Zhang Yu could only accompany Taozi, but he did not play with his favorite King of Fighters. At that time, several iron buddies in the 'City Tribe' once laughed that Zhang Yu was afraid of his wife, but now Zhang Yu can play the King of Fighters, but at this time, Zhang Yu would rather not play.

Looking at the 'Second-order Hall Hongwan', 'Qijiashe' and 'Chusakijing' he chose on the screen, Zhang Yu seemed to return to the scene when he was invincible with these three characters.

Suddenly, the screen flashed, but Zhang Yu didn't care at all. As an old player who has been playing here for several years, Zhang Yu knows that this is the reason for the unstable voltage. In high school, when all the machines here are turned on, even the fuse will be burned.

However, today seems to be the end of Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu looked at the flashing screen, and the anger that had suppressed a day in his chest broke out in an instant at this moment.

Zhang Yu punched the button area and kept scolding, "Damn it, let people play!" With that, he punched the arcade machine again. I don't know if he was tired of smashing, and Zhang Yu finally stopped.

Zhang Yu looked at his red and swollen hands, looked at the arcade machine that was not damaged at all, and punched it down again. He scolded, "Breaking iron pieces..." Just as Zhang Yu's fist touched the arcade machine, the electric current from the arcade machine made Zhang Yu's scold suddenly stop, and Zhang Yu's eyes showed fear. He tried his best to ask for help from the boss not far away, but he was shocked to find that he could not say a word in his mouth, and Zhang Yu's body began to slowly fall towards the arcade.

The boss looked at Zhang Yu, who suddenly stopped talking in half of the scolding. In the past, it was normal for those players who played the King of Fighters to kick and curse a few words if they saw that there was something wrong with the machine. The boss was also helpless about this, but how could this person not scold half of them? Suddenly, Zhang Yu's body fell straight on the arcade, which scared the boss to turn pale and be electrocuted! Recently, there have always been people who report that the 'King of Fighters' machine is leaking electricity, but I don't care much about it. Thinking of this, the boss's heart tightened and quickly took plastic gloves and ran to the main switch. Don't kill him...

Slowly, Zhang Yu felt that his consciousness began to blur... It was also dark in front of him. Is he going to die? The happy time with Peach kept flashing in my mind. I don't know if she will be sad if I die. I have nothing to miss in this life. It's okay to die. Zhang Yu slowly closed his eyes. Is it all over...
