Chapter 17 Find a mechanic for you
It was still very late for Ren Jingcheng to go home that night. He wandered alone in C City for a long time without purpose and thought a lot. What did he think about that night? Ren Jingcheng never told anyone about it. He just found a place in his heart to seal everything as his secret and did not allow himself or others to touch it.
This night, facing her son who came home late again, Ren's mother didn't say anything, but smiled and told Ren Jingcheng to take care of himself and let him rest.
After falling asleep all night, Ren Jingcheng woke up again near noon. After hurriedly washing up, he ate the breakfast left by Ren's mother that turned into lunch, and Ren Jingcheng turned on the computer.
consulted some information about WarGame, and went to several forums to read the information written by others. Ren Jingcheng learned a lot about the game. I boarded QQ and found that the fire machine was online.
"Are you free on Saturday?" The fire engine sent a message first.
"I don't know, what's the matter?" Ren Jingcheng replied.
"I'm off that day, and I want you to come to my place to play." The fire engine said.
"I'll try my best!" There is not much time now. It is essential to spend a lot of time training to participate in the Donghua District WarGame Competition. Ren Jingcheng can't guarantee anything now.
"Well, give you my mobile phone number. If you come, give me a call." The information of the fire machine was quickly replied, and a string of mobile phone numbers were left below.
Ren Jingcheng entered the number into the mobile phone and made another phone call to ask the fire machine to write down his phone number. He was about to talk to the fire machine again. The fire machine's avatar had darkened.
Turning out his mobile phone, Ren Jingcheng looked at the mobile phone number of the fire machine in a daze.
After exchanging mobile phone numbers, can you make a successful friend? Thinking of this, Ren Jingcheng could no longer suppress his excitement and shouted a few times with a smile on his face, as if announcing to the world:
I, Ren Jingcheng, also has friends!
After calming down, Ren Jingcheng began to feel worried again and felt that he was too happy too early. It was too easy to exchange numbers and become friends. No, they are not friends, they just know each other.
Thinking of this, Ren Jingcheng's happiness just now disappeared again, and his breath flimated in an instant, and his fingers moved on the keyboard of his mobile phone. He really wanted to send a message to the fire machine to ask if they were friends.
After struggling for a long time, Ren Jingcheng was always afraid that the fire machine would reply to an answer he didn't like, and this text message was not sent.
The clock pointed to 1 p.m., and Ren Jingcheng packed up his things, picked up the suitcase containing the game equipment and went out of the house.
At the vicious sun at noon, Ren Jingcheng stood at the gate of the Game Hall of WarGame with rain of sweat and looked in the direction of the street entrance, with an obvious anxiety on his face.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Xinxin, who was still a cap, vest, shorts and slippers, slowly came over from the street. He looked very leisurely with a bottle of coke in his hand. He took two steps to take a sip and occasionally whistled at the beautiful woman who passed by. The ruffian looked like before. It's even worse at night.
"Old classmate, good morning, you came very early!" Lu Xinxin walked to the gate of the game hall and saw Ren Jingcheng grinning and patting Ren Jingcheng on the shoulder.
"You are late, more than 40 minutes late." Ren Jingcheng frowned and said coldly with an unhappy face.
"I went to bed late yesterday and overslept. As soon as I opened my eyes, I came here slowly. Let's not do it as an example, let's not do it." Lu Xinxin explained with a hippie smile, but the casual appearance really didn't look like sincere repentance.
Ren Jingcheng and Lu Xinxin are really not oppiable. If it hadn't been for Ye Xiaoqian, they would never have had anything to do with each other. In such an awkward relationship, Ren Jingcheng can't pick his nose and eyes at Lu Xinxin, otherwise he is afraid that he will put his mouth off with Lu Xinxin's explosive barrel, but it will be difficult to explain to Ye Xiaoqian at that time.
I put up with it! Ren Jingcheng meditated on the ninja formula and went to the counter to open a training and game room shared by two people.
Three hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the time also pointed to five o'clock. It was time for school to end. At this time, only Ren Jingcheng was left in the game room, and Lu Xinxin did not know where she had gone.
When Ye Xiaoqian pushed the door and entered, she saw Ren Jingcheng cleaning up the game equipment. She looked around strangely and couldn't help frowning.
"That guy ran away?" Ye Xiaoqian said helplessly. The "that guy" in the words naturally doesn't think of a second person except for Lu Xinxin.
"When I said that I had a stomachache and went to the toilet after three o'clock, I never came back."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about him." Ye Xiaoqian sighed.
Ren Jingcheng was more helpless about Lu Xinxin than Ye Xiaoqian. At this time, he had nothing to say, so he could only be silent.
"Never mind him now. I'm looking for you." Ye Xiaoqian said.
"What's the matter?" Ren Jingcheng said.
"Well, aren't you equipped yet? I found a 'technician' to help you. She happens to be free today. I'll take you to see her. Ye Xiaoqian said with a smile.
Ren Jingcheng now knows a lot about WarGame, and the term "technician" is not unfamiliar to him. It is a respectful name for players who specialize in the production of modified equipment.
Technicians are not often seen in WarGame. After all, many players pursue a kind of excitement when playing games. People like this kind of full-time equipment are like life players in other games. Unless they really like or rely on this to make money, few players will be willing to do this kind of thing. Work like a factory worker.
The ratio of registered technicians to ordinary players in the latest survey data game is about 1:50,000, while there are fewer truly qualified technicians, even only one among hundreds of thousands of players. With the professionalization of the game, compared with such a rare proportion, it is difficult for teams and clubs to meet the needs of technicians. Some clubs even have to train specialized technicians. Even if some technicians occasionally appear among players, most of them are pocketed by large teams and clubs.
Technicians are so rare that most players can only trade advanced equipment in places like the exchange, and the price of equipment transformed by technicians is extremely high, which is not affordable for ordinary players. There is a contradiction. On the one hand, ordinary players can't afford it, and on the other hand, The equipment can't be sold.
In order to solve this contradiction, the exchange has launched a customized transformation module. The equipment is made by players themselves, and technicians will help transform according to the player's economic ability. Some players also have a good relationship with some technicians in this process and often get free of charge. Help.
The more he knows the preciousness of the technician, the more worried Ren Jingcheng is about Ye Xiaoqian's words. After all, he is not a rich man, and the only money is usually saved. It has been spent seven or eight times to buy game equipment. If you want to come to the game hall to rent a game room for training, you will spend part of the remaining money. It is not enough to pay the remuneration of the mechanic.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaoqian looked at Ren Jingcheng, who stood still with a difficult face, and asked strangely.
"This...I... have no money!" Ren Jingcheng took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to whisper.
"Ha, don't worry about this. That mechanic is my friend. She said she would help for free. Don't worry!" Hearing this was the reason, Ye Xiaoqian couldn't help laughing and said easily.
"This is not good!" Ren Jingcheng knew that the mechanic's income was high, and he was really embarrassed to ask the other party to help him for free.
"It's okay. You know that person. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have helped for free." Ye Xiaoqian said.
"Do I know?" Ren Jingcheng was stunned when he heard the words and said in surprise.
"Yes, you will know when you arrive. Hurry up. If it's too late, she won't have time." After saying that, Ye Xiaoqian pulled Ren Jingcheng and quickly walked out of the door of the game room.
*****
A few minutes later, the two had boarded the bus.
It happened to be off-duty time. The bus was unusually crowded. Ren Jingcheng frowned slightly, squeezed out a small area, and blocked Ye Xiaoqian in front of her chest to prevent others from pushing her.
Ye Xiaoqian was also delighted by Ren Jingcheng's considerate action and looked at him with complicated eyes. Unfortunately, Ren Jingchengguang was busy taking care of Ye Xiaoqian and didn't find anything strange in her eyes.
"Where are you going?" When he stood firmly, Ren Jingcheng looked out of the window and asked.
"Hujia Lane." Ye Xiaoqian replied.
"Go to ShowTown?" Ren Jingcheng immediately understood the name of the place and said.
"Yes, she is waiting for us there." Ye Xiaoqian nodded gently and said.
"Oh!" Ren Jingcheng answered and stopped talking.
Hujia Lane is close to the combination of urban and rural areas, and the location is slightly remote. It took nearly an hour for the bus to arrive from the city center.
"Come on, ShowTown opens at 7:30. We have to discuss the direction of equipment manufacturing with her within this hour, otherwise she will have no time when ShowTown opens." As soon as she got out of the car, Ye Xiaoqian took out her mobile phone to check the time and hurriedly said.
"Then let's run there!" Ren Jingcheng proposed.
"Oil, hurry up." Ye Xiaoqian nodded and agreed.
Ye Xiaoqian took her schoolbag and Ren Jingcheng carried the suitcase of the game equipment. The load of the two was not light, and it was not easy to run fast. Originally, it took about 20-30 minutes to walk from Hujia Lane to ShowTown, but it didn't take them much faster and took 15 minutes to arrive.
"Finally... arrived..." Looking at the black signboard of ShowTown, Ren Jingcheng said breathlessly.
Ye Xiaoqian fanned her hand and was about to open her mouth when a crisp voice suddenly inserted.
"Finally, I've been waiting for more than two hours. I don't want to help you if you don't come here." The crisp female voice is lively and pleasant. Although she complains, she still can't help admiring and sounds good.
Ren Jingcheng looked for a voice and saw that the speaker was none other than Xiaoya, the long-haired beauty host in ShowTown.
