Chapter 7 The beginning

"You are so awesome."

"Add a friend and remember to bring me with you the next time you brush the book."

The wall clock on the wall is ticking and running. Looking at the time, it was already 10 p.m.

Chu Yun and Hua Xia's teammates in the game said goodbye and played the game.

Looking at the crown icon of "Hero Century" on the screen, Chu Yun was a little stunned. He just answered a phone call from his old friend Wei Shuping, asking about the follow-up of yesterday's incident.

Yes, yesterday...

If it hadn't been for yesterday's unexpected farce, Chu Yun would have never heard of the name of Hero Century, let alone playing online games.

He lit a cigarette casually and let his thoughts fly in the smoke.

Chu Yun remembered that it was such a gloomy weather when he left the company.

Chu Yun, male, 26 years old, Han nationality.

He is handsome, but he is a man who eats and waits to die.

Counting his experience is also normal and not outstanding. After studying computer programming for 4 years in college, I studied computer programming. After coming out, I got an idle job in a game company for network maintenance. I finally got into the department head of Sesame Mung Bean, but I didn't want to be overturned by an unexpected financial tsunami.

The company laid off staff, and Chu Yun didn't expect to have his own name on that list.

Looking at the nephew of a senior executive who was usually dompotent and powerful, and poured some sarcastic sarcastic words in his ear, Chu Yun at least did not make him too comfortable - the dark circles in his right eye were the farewell gift given to him by Chu Yun to wish him a high rise.

With luggage that could be packed in a cardboard box from the company, Chu Yun sat on the flower bed by the road in a daze and looked at the endless traffic. Chu Yun lit a cigarette and let the time go by.

I don't know how long it will be, but the mobile phone rang.

Chu Yun looked at the caller ID, and it was his buddy Wei Shuping.

"I said, Lao Yun, I heard that you were disappointed in love?" A cheerful baritone came, and the other party asked straight to the ground.

"Lao Wei, your news is out of date. The company and I had a relationship last month. They think I'm poor and short-minded."

"Is it outdated? Then what's the latest news?

"I was opened by the company." What Chu Yun said was very plain, but it was a little like he didn't care.

"Damn, is it true?"

"Really, the grandchildren of the company said that they would lay off employees in the downturn and blindly stuffed relatives into the company. I'm unlucky. I don't have a brother-in-law who is a technical director, so I'm unlucky."

"That group of grandchildren..." Wei Shuping couldn't help shouting and scolding, but this kind of thing is not strange in the society now. "Well, where shall we book a table tonight? We won't get drunk tonight."

"No, right? I have to look for a job early tomorrow morning. Chu Yun smiled indifferently.

"Don't you need to be in such a hurry? Why don't you just take this opportunity to take a break and adjust your mood?"

"The job is gone, and I have to worry about it if I don't have money. It's not like a woman. I can't die without it... Look, I'll catch up with the expiration of the one-year lease in a few days, and I have to pay the rent. I have to find a job as soon as possible."

"Is it really so miserable? No, I'll take some first."

"No, I still have some savings to deal with for a while. Besides, your expense is relatively large."

"Well, why don't you move to my place? My house is big enough. Except for the food expenses, everything else is mine."

"I won't bother you and Pepe without fun. A good friend belongs to a good friend. It's not easy to find a good wife these days. I appreciate it. Don't mention this matter anymore.

"..." Wei Shuping's voice was silent behind the phone for a while. "Ha ha, I feel old and I'm not as comfortable as before. I have to think about everything before to understand."

"We are good brothers, all our lives." Chu Yun took the last breath of smoke and extinguished the cigarette butt.

"Then we must get together tonight, which will fulfill my wish, big brother."

"Hey, I said Lao Wei, you are rubbing your face hard on your nose. I'm at the top of the ranking according to seniority, right?"

"That's the old almanac. Are you married? Now according to my life experience, I'm in front of you, so I, as a big brother, should comfort my brother's emptiness and loneliness at the right time. That's a must.

"...hehe, okay."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm still squatting on the platform not far from the company - er, the old company."

"Then I'll drive you after work. Let's have a good time - it's still early. Why don't you find an Internet cafe to spend time first?"

"Internet cafe?"

"Hey, my young man in the new era, won't you forget that when we were in junior high school and high school, we forgot to eat and sleep, fought day and night, a holy place full of memories?"

"Ha ha, that's nothing. I was really crazy at that time. I tried my best to save the little pocket money to filial to the network management, stone magic, WAR3, CS, WOW... I still miss the time when I hung up the self-study class and a group of people nested in the Internet cafe to play Warcraft RPG."

"You haven't played the game for a long time, have you?"

"I haven't been playing online games for a long time. I've been exposed to computers since I've been in college. I'm tired of it over time. I usually look through the news and watch movies."

"Don't you have **? You were the champion of our city back then!"

"Haha, such a big champion, are you still thinking about it?"

"I remember that you played the best games in those years, especially in competitive categories. Whether it's CS or Warcraft, everyone likes to make a share with you. At that time, you won a lot of championships, big and small."

"I remember that for this, my father found that I had left class to play the game and beat me hard. He didn't give me a dime of pocket money for three months."

"There's nothing I can do. At that time, the concept was different. E-sports is called a plaything and loses ambition. If it is standardized like now and set up a special project, it won't be good - but if you persisted at that time, maybe you have won back several WCG champions now?"

"Hahaha, you brag too much, don't you? I'm blushing. I'd better find an Internet cafe to watch a movie and wait for you.

"Well, I'll call you when it's time."

Hanging up the phone, Chu Yun looked back at the office buildings behind him and left without any nostalgia.

-----

This area is close to the industrial park, and it is more difficult to find Internet cafes than expected.

It took Chu Yun 5 minutes to find a medium-sized Internet cafe in a nearby street.

In front of the counter, a temporary card was opened. Chu Yun originally wanted to find a seat nearby. After asking, he knew that the Internet cafe was divided into a smoking area and a smoke-free area. I wanted to go to the smoking area alone along the aisle, but I was attracted by a group of students who blocked the road.

Chu Yun first glanced a few times and saw that this group of people were tall, short, fat and thin, but they did not wear school uniforms. Chu Yun looked back and remembered that the Internet cafes were not as good as in those years. Half of the people were minors - now they have ID cards to be allowed to open cards. If you think so, these people are at least high school students or college students... No matter how high they are, it is impossible. The childish appearance makes Chu Yun feel more or less nostalgic.

It was this accidental sense of closeness that made Chu Yun stop. He really wanted to see what games young people like to play now.

But before he got too close, Chu Yun faintly heard the quarrel. Looking at the posture of this group of people around such a circle, Chu Yun secretly shouted in his heart.

Looking at the network management not far away, he was quite heed to probe here frequently. Chu Yun also had the idea that it was not as good as saving one thing. However, because he was taller, he glanced at it by the way and saw that the crowd was surrounded by boys like a young girl.

"Cough, well, I said classmate, isn't it appropriate for so many of you to surround a girl's house?"

Chu Yun still couldn't see it and patted the shoulder of the nearest boy. In order to show that he was not here to find fault, but to mediate, he also deliberately put on a kind face.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Yun's face, especially the young girl in the circle, who did not squint at Chu Yun's eyes.

Hey, she is still a legendary beautiful girl.

"By the way, uncle, who are you, a hero who saves the beauty, is not rustic?"

If this is said on the body of this group of teenagers, Chu Yun doesn't feel any sense of discord, but what surprises Chu Yun is that it is not someone else who said this, but the girl who is surrounded by the boys. Her willow eyebrows are up, her apricot eyes are round, and her hands around her chest reveal her face of impatience.

Big...Uncle? Who does it mean?

Chu Yun looked around for a while, but he didn't see anyone who could be called an uncle. Looking at the girl's straight projection, Chu Yun felt that his face was feverish.

What kind of righteous spring do you have when you have nothing to do? This is a big embembemb to you!
