When I returned to the store, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. It was already dark. Chu Yang touched the key and opened the store door. A cold feeling came.

This row of shops is all old houses, and there is no centralized heating. In winter, they usually have their own raw coal ball stoves to keep warm. Although Chu Yang doesn't like this kind of stove that emits a pungent smell, there is no way. His current body is not enough to fight against this level of cold. If he resists it, he will soon enter the place called the hospital again and let those wearing white clothes inject strange liquid into his body.

"Yangzi is back. Today, there is a pretty girl looking for you. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is it your girlfriend?" A rough voice came from the door. Chu Yang didn't have to look back and knew that it was Uncle Geng who bought the hardware next door. Uncle Geng was in his forties and was very enthusiastic. When Chu Yang was in the store these days, he would always come to the store to sit for a while and chat with Chu Yang for a while. Sometimes when he was in high spirits, he would pick up a cheap flute of fifteen yuan and play for two pieces. Although he could only vaguely hear the tune, he was very excited.

"Oh? Little girl? I don't know? I don't have any girlfriend." Chu Yang replied strangely when he heard Uncle Geng's words.

"No? But she came yesterday and came again today. She asked me when you would be back. I see that, she seems to know you, you really don't know?" Uncle Geng asked strangely.

"Haha, Uncle Geng, I really don't know. Maybe there is something else. It doesn't matter. If it's an urgent matter, she will come again." Chu Yang said as he walked to the store to get the coal ball stove.

"By the way, Yangzi, have you eaten? I cooked noodles tonight, and I'll just deal with them all without eating." Uncle Geng said enthusiastically.

"No need to worry, Uncle Geng, I'll just have a bite." Chu Yang said with a smile.

"What are you doing? Come on, come on. Anyway, I have made too much and I can't finish it alone. Besides, it's boring to eat alone. Come on, come on, let's have a sip with you Uncle Geng." Uncle Geng heard that Chu Yang hadn't eaten, so he pulled Chu Yang to his own store without saying anything. He was bored to watch the store alone, and when he was fine, he would take Chu Yang to dinner and chat with him.

"Haha, then I'm not polite." Chu Yang said with a smile, then put the three carefully selected bamboos in his hand on the ground, closed the store door, and came to the next door.

Uncle Geng’s name is Geng Dazhi. The name of the hardware store is also very direct, so it is called "Dazhi Hardware". As soon as he entered the store, the sides of the walls and the walls opposite the door were all full of ceiling shelves, and small grids were filled with various hardware accessories, which squeezed the space in the store, which was originally insufficient, and there was only a passage in the middle that could barely accommodate two people in parallel.

There are many screws, knives, and slings on the old wooden counter, and a computer is placed on a smaller counter on the side. When Chu Yang is fine, he will come to this store to stay with Uncle Geng for a while. Sometimes when Uncle Geng goes out for something, he will help him watch the store for a while, so he is not unfamiliar with this thing called a computer. Moreover, he understands a lot of common sense in this world through this computer.

Geng Dazhi casually scratched the things on the counter, freed up a small piece of space, turned around and took a pot of hot noodles from the coal ball stove behind him, grabbed a handful of raw peanuts from under the counter, put forward a large plastic pot of bulk liquor, and poured himself a glass. He knew that Chu Yang would not drink, and did not persuade him, and signaled Chu Yang to serve the rice himself.

Chu Yang was not polite either. He picked up the bowl and ate three big bowls, patted his stomach and put down the bowl with satisfaction. Uncle Geng's skills in making noodles are pretty good, and Chu Yang felt that it tasted no worse than the shredded pork noodles bought in the noodle restaurant outside.

"I'll play with the computer." Seeing that Uncle Geng had not finished drinking, Chu Yang got up and sat in front of the computer, said to Uncle Geng, and then started to watch the web pages online.

"Let's play, by the way, Yangzi, I recently discovered a very fun game. I'll call it out for you and you can try it too!" Geng Dazhi suddenly said when he saw Chu Yang fiddling with the computer.

"Game? I can't play either." Chu Yang was a little confused when he heard Geng Dazhi let him play games. He always checked information on computers and rarely played those games. In his opinion, playing games was simply a waste of time and murder of life, especially card games like this without technical content. Chu Yang really couldn't get any interest.

"It's okay, I'll do it at first sight. I tell you that this game is a drumming game. I'll get addicted after playing a few games. I'll find it for you later." Geng Dazhi became more and more excited as he spoke. Before he finished speaking, he snatched Chu Yang's mouse, turned off the Landlord game, and quickly clicked on an icon on the desktop.

"Master of Rhythm?" Chu Yang looked at the game and was a little confused.

"Look at it, just play like that." Geng Dazhi said, quickly clicking on the game, selecting the "level break mode", and starting the first level.

A quiet song came from the computer speaker, and Chu Yang glanced at the title of the song, which was Guangliang's "Fairy Tale".

He had never heard of this song, but just listened to the prelude and felt that the artistic conception of the song was very quiet, simple, and sounded very comfortable.

As the music progressed, four tracks appeared in the game screen, and a small blue square slipped from each track from time to time. Then Chu Yang discovered that Uncle Geng pressed the four keys on the keyboard with the index and middle fingers of both hands, which seemed to correspond to the rhythm in the song.

"Look, that's it, how simple. Just listen to the drum beats in the song and press the keys on the keyboard. You can also play games while listening to the song. It's so interesting. Yangzi, you run a musical instrument store. How about your Uncle Geng's rhythm?" Geng Dazhi said, while proudly increasing the movements in his hands, and his body shaking left and right, with an intoxicated look on his face.

Geng Dazhi likes to play musical instruments, especially drumming. During the Chinese New Year, he would go to the instrument store next door to move out the big drum, and beat and beat a group of old guys who love to play. Sometimes he could play for a day after playing. I discovered this game two days ago, and Geng Dazhi felt like a treasure. A man in his forties actually looked like a child and couldn't stop playing.

After a while, Geng Dazhi had already finished the first set, passed the level easily, and received an S-level evaluation, which made him even more proud. While bragging about how powerful he was with Chu Yang, he continued to start the second level.

Chu Yang was speechless. Uncle Geng was over forty years old and still looked like a child. He originally wanted to teach him how to play, but he started to play himself, but he didn't care about himself anymore. He played for four or five plates in a row, and even forgot to eat.

Until the seventh level, Geng Dazhi encountered a song called "Green Light". The notes in it gradually increased. He was a little overwhelmed and failed after trying twice. He was a little discouraged and put down his mouse.

"Oh, no, this level is too difficult. Xiao Yangzi, let's play with you." Geng Dazhi said to Chu Yang.

"Well, let's try it. Uncle Geng, hurry up and eat. The noodles will be cold and will not taste good later." Chu Yang reminded with some amusement.

"Ah? Huh, look at me, I forgot everything when I play this. I still have some wine left. I don't drink it. You play first. Let's play together later. I must pass this today."

Chu Yang ignored Geng Dazhi's words. He just watched Geng Dazhi play this game. After watching a few levels, he already understood the game's gameplay. Chu Yang didn't expect that this was actually a game that trains rhythm. For him, such training was very useful, but Geng Dazhi just played some songs, which was too simple. Chu Yang felt a little uninterested when playing it.

I started the song "Green Light" again. Since I had heard Geng Dazhi play it before, I became much more familiar with the rhythm of this song. When I was playing it myself, Chu Yang easily passed the song. Although he lost two notes at the beginning because of his unfamiliarity in the operation, as he became more and more proficient, Chu Yang rarely made mistakes later.

A stream of music that congratulated me on the way, Geng Dazhi turned his head strangely.

"Huh? You passed this level. OK, Xiao Yangzi, the young man is still quick to react. Keep playing and help me play two more levels. By the way, if I can pass the twenty level today, if I can participate in an online confrontation match, the top three will have bonuses." Geng Dazhi said with a smile. But after he said that, he didn't take it seriously. The more he went through the level mode of this game, the harder it became. Basically, after reaching the tenth level, there were so many notes like dense raindrops. Once he reached the tenth level, he lost after only less than ten seconds.

"Haha, okay, then I'll try it. If there is a real bonus, Uncle Geng, you want to treat me to a meal. This meal doesn't count. Let's go eat hot pot." Chu Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem! If you really take the top three, Uncle Geng invites you to hot pot!" Geng Dazhi said with a laugh, obviously he also thought this was just a joke.

Chu Yang nodded, turned around and faced the computer, and focused on playing games.

Level 8, Level 9, Level 10... Chu Yang is becoming more and more skilled. Although he has never heard of most of these songs, he has already been fully accustomed to the game and can easily handle them with his amazing sense of rhythm alone!

Although this game that trains reaction speed is difficult for ordinary people, for Chu Yang, a music practitioner, he has never played the song that is hundreds or thousands of times more complicated than this rhythm during the practice. If it weren't for the fact that the body's reaction is too slow, such a game will be completely unharmed for him, and it will be a matter of passing the level in minutes.

Geng Dazhi had already finished his meal at some point. At this moment, he sat behind Chu Yang blankly, watching the familiar young man in front of him playing games, with a look of ghosts on his face.

Twenty levels! This kid actually managed to reach Twenty levels all the way!

Since the 14th level, Geng Dazhi has been staring at him and playing. The notes on the screen fell like raindrops, but the kid's hands kept typing on the keyboard like a machine gun. The screen was full of dazzling blue perfect!

At this moment, this 20th level is a very difficult rock version of "Kanon". The notes on the screen can no longer be distinguished in sequence. The notes on the four tracks are almost all slid down, and there are countless long-sounding blocks and changing tracks in the middle. Geng Dazhi felt that his eyes were almost staring at, but this kid still looked calm and composed!

The sound of "papapapapapa~~" gradually became a "papapa" sound like flowing water. But the rhythm of the sound could still be heard in the sound. Looking at the screen, the perfect combo number has exceeded a thousand!
Chapter completed!
