Chapter 690 Internet Ice Age

“Suspension of business?”

Lin Jia and the others were stunned. This news caught people off guard. It was not that there was anything wrong with the government's decision. At present, people from all over the country still had to wear masks when they went out, suspending business in some entertainment venues with large traffic and relatively dense traffic is undoubtedly the best way to avoid SARS infection. In addition, the Internet cafe industry was the first to be ordered to suspend business. It is not only the reason for SARS, but the main fuse was that a fire broke out in Beijing's "Blue Speed" Internet cafe some time ago that killed many online players!

Some time ago, the "Blue Speed" incident was very serious. Even if there is no SARS incident, the government will also deal with the Internet cafe industry with chaotic security, inadequate fire prevention facilities in Internet cafes, and sudden death of minors without restraint Internet access.

It has to be said that the game "Legend" has a great negative impact on these factors, but can we blame this game that has always been a bad reputation in society?

People have different opinions, and wise people have their own opinions! There is a saying that goes: "The sword is not guilty, but the sword is guilty!" It is really hard to say who should blame these things clearly.

The closure of Internet cafes may be a great pleasure for the parents of students and players, and may be an insignificant little thing for those who do not use the Internet, and even more so for those who have private computers at home.

However, the "extinct" Internet cafe closure is simply an inhumane thing for the old Internetworms who love to go online, especially online gamers like Lin Jia and others, which is a terrifying thing that they cannot imagine.

Old Internetworms who have been online for a long time should have encountered this situation. Once the Internet is cut off, the anxiety is simply tormenting. It is more heart-wrenching than taking drugs without fans or smoking without fire.

And when I think about it, even though I have been disconnected from the Internet, those players with private computers can still be criticized in the game, let alone how uncomfortable it is. If it is only a "ban on the Internet" for one or two days, it would be fine. If the SARS epidemic cannot pass, it seems that the ban on the Internet will not stop this time. Just guess it will take several months to say it!

Lin Jia and the others were not very worried at first, but when they heard Lao Zhao say that in order to prevent Internet cafe owners from being unable to withstand the pressure of closure of business, secretly receiving customers and other things like opening black Internet cafes, the government directly ordered Internet suppliers such as telecommunications and Netcom to stop the Internet cafe routes, leaving Internet cafes out of trouble!

Now, Lin Jia and the others finally realized how determined the government has made this time to rectify the Internet cafe industry. If this happens, I don’t know how many Internet cafes will go bankrupt. The entire Internet cafe industry has entered an ice age, and the larger the Internet cafe, the greater the losses it will suffer!

Lin Jia and the others were like other players who had nothing to do. After squatting on the ground in the garden by the lake opposite the Dimeng Net City for several days, they finally couldn't stand it and planned to find a solution. The boss found a solution early. Her boyfriend Ruohan's family had his own computer, and the government only banned Internet cafe routes. The network used by private families was not stopped, so the boss slipped to Ruohan's house to play games the next day after the ban on the Internet.

Lin Jia and the others remembered that they would just pick up a network cable themselves and move a computer home to play. However, when they went to the telecommunications department, they paid the money and were told that they needed to go home and wait for news. The staff at the installation route would come to their door to install it when they had time. It was not that they had a bad service attitude, but that there were too many players installing broadband these days. It is said that the staff's itinerary has been scheduled until next month!

This banned network has made the Internet cafe industry hard, but the stores selling computers have made a lot of money. There are almost people who come to assemble computers every day. These are like Lin Jia and the others. They usually only play in Internet cafes, but they didn’t expect to buy a computer. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but that the atmosphere and feeling of playing games at home alone are far less enjoyable than being in Internet cafes.

Lin Jia and his brothers each assembled a well-configured computer and placed it at home, but without the Internet, it was depressing to play stand-alone games. And because they were all at home, they couldn't help but run to Dimeng Net City again after playing "Cs" or "StarCraft" after a few days at home. The brothers were extremely bored and played "Diablo II" online in Internet cafes without Internet, or played "Cs" and "StarCraft" with other players who came to Internet cafes because of boredom.

On that day, Lin Jia and the others were talking about what was going on on the server and walked into the Emperor Alliance while swaying and found that the Emperor Alliance was dim, and there was not even the lighting, and there was no one in the entire second-floor lobby, and even the waiters who were originally left behind were missing!

When he ran up the second floor, he saw that Lao Zhao was leaning against the bar on the second floor and was talking to Zhao Xiaomei and Ding Xiang in a bleak way. When he saw Lin Jia and the others coming, he said hello weakly. It was understandable that the closure of the Internet cafe means that Lao Zhao was going to be unemployed. It would be strange if he was happy.

"Why are there no one today?" Lin Jia lay on the counter and asked strangely. Although there was no Internet during this period, because of boredom, there were still about a hundred Star players who came to the Internet cafe to play CSS, but today there were not one person, and even the waiter did not see any.

"Who else? Someone will come to drag the machine later!" Old Zhao smoked violently.

Lin Jia was stunned for a moment and nodded silently. He probably knew that this would happen, because Tu Fei, who was in Wuhan, had called him a few days ago and asked him to discuss this matter in person in a few days. The daily closure of business is consumed. For such a large area, the loss is too great for the Internet city, which is so large that few people can afford it. Especially in the current situation of resuming business, it is still far away and unknown. Perhaps closing an Internet cafe is a better choice.

"Uncle had encountered some trouble in business, so he has no intention of running this Internet city now. He has decided to turn off the Internet city and deal with the machines, venues, computer desks and chairs here, and then he has to find a way to take it off!" Zhao Xiaomei put her chin on the back of her hand and lay on the counter boredly, pulling a ballpoint pen with her slender fingers.

Dingxiang leaned lightly against the counter with her hands in her arms, looked at Lin Jia, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after squirming her plump lips, she still bit her silently.

"Ah! After the Emperor Alliance is closed, let's go there to surf the Internet?" Lao San and Lao Si shouted reluctantly. Everyone thought that once the brothers were already familiar with the place and suddenly closed, they were reluctant. After all, they had been playing here for so long and had more or less affection. It would be not easy to find a place so close to home and have such a good environment for everyone to sit down together and happily surf the Internet and play legends happily.

"Lin Jia, should I accompany me to the lakeside?" Dingxiang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

Lin Jia looked at Zhao Xiaomei who was lying on the counter without looking up and nodded. She turned around and joined forces with Dinglilac who came out of the counter to leave the Emperor League, walked to the lake, and walked silently for a while. Lin Jia looked at the spring scenery by the lake that was already brilliant in April, walked on the dam by the lake, and unconsciously waved her arms to block the slender and tender green willows hanging from the beginning, like slender and tender noodles.

Looking around, there are a row of densely hung branches of the weeping willows winding down from a distance on the embankment by the lake. It is like the beautiful girl's hair is floating in the air, and the water is floating, as if the tender girl is tilting her head to clean her hair.

"Xiaomei and I will go back to study in a few days. Come and send us off?" Dingxiang, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said softly.

Lin Jia stopped and turned his head to look around him, tilting the lilac on the willow branches. After a while, he smiled and said, "Okay!"

Dingxiang walked to Lin Jia with her hands on her back and her head was slightly tilted. She looked at Lin Jia with a smile on her lips and said, "You knew it would be the result for a long time, right?"

Putting his hand in his jeans pocket, Lin Jia shrugged her shoulders as if relaxed, and pursed her lips: "You know, too, right?"

Dingxiang pouted helplessly, her eyes turned white like water waves, and said, "Okay! Okay! You won! You bad thing! But why did you deliberately anger Xiaomei? Can't let her leave a beautiful memory?"

Lin Jia scratched his nose with his fingers and said helplessly: "I want to do it too? Unfortunately, isn't it great now?"

Dingxiang thought for a while and said, "For you, yes! For us, no!" Lin Jia was about to speak, but Dingxiang suddenly smiled and said, "But this is good for all of us! We must say, Lin Jia, you are a very strange boy! Well, at least among the men I have met, you are a very special one!"

"Isn't it because I'm 'special' that makes us so embarrassed now?" Lin Jia took out a cigarette from her pocket with a headache, lit one for herself, and sat on a huge pebble under the willow tree.

"Haha!" Dingxiang smiled happily, jumped to Lin Jia and squatted down. She snatched the cigarette from Lin Jia's mouth and put it in her mouth for a sip. But she vomited for a long time and returned the cigarette to Lin Jia. She stood up, stretched her arms and wrinkled her nose, stretched out a very nice little laziness, and sighed, "The game is over! We are still friends, right?"

“Don’t we always be?”

"Well! I know, you know, but Xiaomei doesn't!" Dingxiang suddenly bent down and put her delicate face in front of Lin Jia, and said with an almost breathtaking breath: "Maybe... I don't know either! You timid guy, afraid of being hurt, please find your eyebrows and eyebrows well! Otherwise, Xiaomei and I would be really unwilling to give up!"

Lin Jia laughed and said, "I know!"

"Okay!" Dingxiang suddenly turned around and left: "I'm done with what I want to say! I'm leaving!" Lin Jia did not look back at Dingxiang who had left, but just stared at the lake.

"Lin Jia! The words you said to the hospital that night in Wuhan were very manly!" Dingxiang's pranks came from afar, and Lin Jia smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: "Male? That's a man? I almost became a 'man'!" Lin Jia remembered the sudden sound of Xiao Hai's call to ask them where they were, and couldn't help but sweat.

"Life is better to be simple!!!" Lin Jia bounced the cigarette butt in his hand far away and unethical into the lake: "Plug-angle love is not suitable for the people! Hehe!"
