Lu Shu looked at the fatty by his side.
I have never played this kind of game before.
He was speaking the truth. He didn’t even have a computer at home, how was it possible for him to have played computer games? He was also not willing to go to an internet cafe. In the end, he had never played a computer game before.
The fatty laughed.
Brother, you must be kidding me. Have you never playedCrossFire 1
before? Just come and help us fill the numbers. We’re short of one player for 8V8.
I really can’t,
said Lu Shu.
No worries. We are all experts in the game. Just come and win with us. All you need is to shout 666 2
,
the fatty said with glee.
Oh.
Since he had nothing else to do, why not play along with them?
Luckily, one could use their chat software number to directly log into this shooting game, thus Lu Shu did not even need to register his account. After adding the fatty as his friend, they prepared to play.
In the end, the fatty realised that Lu Shu really did not know how to play the same. He did not even know the controls. The fatty panicked.
Use the four keys WASD to control your direction. The mouse controls your visual angle. Do you see the front sight of the gun on your screen? Just aim the gun at someone’s body and fire. If you hit their head, it’s an instant kill. If you want to change your bullets, press…
After his explanation, Lu Shu’s character could finally move. Lu Shu immediately realised that this game certainly seemed very easy. With his current reaction speed and muscle control, aiming his gun at someone was just too easy.
But Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows. He was not familiar with the gun’s recoil. He still had to play some more before he could get used to it.
The university student beside the fatty laughed.
Hey fatty, can you even move?
The fatty held back and did not utter a word. It was not good to offend the person he had brought here. He decided to cooperate and play for now. Later on he would find an excuse to kick out this newbie.
In the end, not even five minutes had passed when the fatty suddenly realised that Lu Shu’s killing streak was sharply increasing. There were times when the opponent knelt upon seeing the fatty.
The fatty shot a glance at Lu Shu’s screen and shivered.
Were they all headshots?!
The opponent was not happy.
Cheating even in an internal fight?! Do you have no shame?
The fatty was dumbfounded.
We really did not cheat…
Lu Shu played with great pleasure. After he got used to the gun recoil, it was simply too easy getting headshots. It was just like what the fatty had said, a headshot was an instant kill. It was very handy.
Brother, is this really your first time?
The fatty was dumbfounded.
Lu Shu looked at the fatty in surprise.
This is really my first time. But you were right. This game is really easy.
From Wang Yang’s distress, +666!
Lu Shu suddenly realised something. As long as he killed his opponent once, there would be a new income of distress points…
To Lu Shu, the joy he derived from playing games was not great. But if he could obtain so much distress points from just killing someone, then this experience would be very meaningful!
But the fatty called Wang Yang had never thought that Lu Shu was training for battle. He was able to train just by playing games, it was as if Lu Shu had discovered a new land…
Wang Yang did not have any morals either.
Great expert! Bring me along with you!

Liuhai Lane Courtyard House, 6am…
In one hand, Shi Xuejin held a thread-bound book and was slowly reading it. In the other, he pushed white rice porridge mixed with mustard leaf strips into his mouth. Eating porridge with salted vegetables in the morning… how lovely.
He glanced at Nie Ting.
He has been in that internet cafe for almost one and a half days. From two nights ago all the way to this morning. Do you have anything to say?
Nie Ting quickly glanced through the document in his hands. He finished reading and even memorised the two hundred thousand word-long document in a minute.
After looking through the document, he signed his approval. He then took another document and continued looking through it. One slowly reading his book, the other quickly reading his documents, the contrast could not be clearer.
Nie Ting calmly said,
Liu Xiu’s death has affected him greatly.
Are you not scared that he cannot stand the sudden pressure?
Who has not experienced any setbacks?
Nie Ting was nonchalant.
When he came out of the orphanage, far from his family, he survived. Survived very well, actually. There’s no point being worried.
True,
Shi Xuejin said as he chewed his food.
Nie Ting suddenly passed a document to Shi Xuejin.
Take a look at this.
Shi Xuejin received the document. The more he looked at it, the more he furrowed his eyebrows.
Have they not fully investigated the identity of the Puppet Master? How had he hidden so deeply within the human world?
I don’t know.
Nie Ting shook his head.
Everyone had thought that the Golden Foundation had said frightening things just to cause alarm, but I believe them. It is not because I feel that their aspirations and belief are lofty, but because I had fought the Puppet Master face-to-face during the period with bare magical energy. I knew that he was not human then.
Shi Xuejin sighed.
What exactly are they planning to do?
Retreat,
said Nie Ting.
But it would be best if the people are not plunged into an abyss of misery,
said Shi Xuejin. He suddenly changed the topic.
Do you want Hao Zhichao to speak with Lu Shu? See if he can find out what has made Lu Shu degenerate to such an extent.
There’s no need. There are some things that just cannot be comprehended. In this case, one will simply find something else to do as a respite. Everyone has these kinds of moments. Beside, there will be someone to talk to him.
Nie Ting glanced at old automatic watch.
That person has probably reached him.
…
The young girl at the front desk of the Internet cafe lay on the table for a short rest. After staying up all night, she could not take it anymore. The customers’ computers would automatically shut down after 7am. She could go home and sleep after someone came to take over her shift.
But the young girl was slightly irritated while taking her nap. These customers were especially noisy.
Bang! The door of the internet cafe suddenly opened wide. The large snowflakes blew into the internet cafe by the strong wind. The young girl immediately started complaining, as if she was scolding someone.
But she had not even said anything. She did not know why the customers were frightened stiff. She did not know what to say.
Lu Shu rubbed the sleeve of the person beside him and argued.
Ha ha, you are really interesting. Why do you treat the same organ differently? When I said that you are diao 3
, you are happy, but when I say that you play like a Japanese, then you are upset. Is this appropriate?
From Wang Yang’s distress, +666…
Lu Shu suddenly felt that something was not right. He turned his head around and saw Lu Xiaoyu coldly standing at the door of the internet Cafe. She was wearing the white down jacket Lu Shu had bought for her birthday last year, and a small hat with a pom-pom. She looked at Lu Shu.
Lu Shu, you’ve changed!
Lu Shu was momentarily stunned. He never thought that Lu Xiaoyu, who had hung up on the phone with him, had come to the Capital by herself.
His tired eyes suddenly regained their vigour. He slowly broke into a grin and laughed.
Xiaoyu, why are you here?
Nie Ting truly understood Lu Xiaoyu. He knew this fact more than Shi Xuejin did, people could say a thousand things, but it would be of no use. On the other hand, Lu Xiaoyu could become Lu Shu’s antidote without even speaking a word.
