Tang Ruizhe opened the door curtain and took a peek inside.
The whole Internet cafe was filled with smoke, like a fairyland.
A group of teenagers in their fifteenth and sixteenth years were sitting in front of the computer, cursing and playing games.
This Internet cafe is not big, with about 30 computers at a glance.
Tang Ruizhe looked at Gu Pingan, "Isn't this environment too bad?"
Mainly the people inside who use the Internet are younger than them.
Several of them had the kind of non-mainstream afro hair that Gu Pingan had before, and they were still smoking. Gu Pingan saw several brothers frowning, and said hurriedly, "Brother, this Internet cafe is newly opened, with new machines, good configuration, and good Internet access.
Come on, the network cards in the other two Internet cafes don’t work. Let’s just play here. Play a few games and go back.
Let me do my homework."
Gu Zian looked at the expectant looks on his brothers' faces and had no choice but to say, "Come in."
Anyway, when they went to the black Internet cafe in Bincheng before, it was the same situation.
Entering the Internet cafe, several boys aged thirteen or fourteen saw Gu Pingan and greeted him enthusiastically, and invited him to play games together.
Gu Pingan said to them, "Next time, I'll bring a friend here today."
As soon as Gu Ping'an greeted the children familiarly, he knew that these delinquents were regular visitors here.
Gu Pingan walked to the bar and shouted to the network administrator inside, "Brother Qiang, turn on six machines."
The Huangmao network administrator glanced at the few teenagers who came in. They all seemed to be strangers, and they had extraordinary temperaments. Their clothes were completely different from the kids in the Internet cafe.
He looked alert and asked Gu Ping'an, "Are these all your friends?"
Gu Pingan nodded, "Yes, they are all from the city. This is my brother."
He focused on introducing Gu Zi'an.
"You're from the city? You're not of age? Do you have an ID card?"
The Huangmao network administrator looked at these young men and saw that they were all about 1.8 meters tall.
It's not clear whether it's an adult or a minor.
Gu Pingan replied,
"My brother is an adult and has an ID card. They are just like me."
"Then give me your ID card."
The Huangmao network administrator is obviously very vigilant.
For fear of being undercover.
This black Internet cafe is also run with trepidation.
Gu Zian took out his ID card. The network manager Huang Mao took one look at it and nodded, "Okay, you can sit wherever you want in the row of machines at the back."
Internet access is relatively cheap in small towns, only one yuan an hour.
Gu Pingan drove each of them for two hours.
Gu Zian took his younger brothers to turn on the machine, and all the instant noodle buckets on the table were confiscated.
"The network administrator should clean up." Tang Ruizhe shouted towards the bar.
Huangmao's network administrator said lazily, "You guys can collect it yourself, I can't handle it all by myself."
Gao Zichen and Tang Ruizhe stood there, unwilling to sit down.
How can you spend money to surf the Internet and do your own hygiene?
"What kind of internet cafe is this? The network administrator doesn't even clean the place."
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you guys sit down quickly."
After Gu Pingan turned on the machine, he moved very skillfully and cleared away the bucket of instant noodles on the table and poured out the ash in the ashtray.
Then he took a rag and wiped the table quickly.
"Okay now, let's turn on the phone."
Gu Ping'an was right. The machines in this black Internet cafe were indeed quite good. The configuration was very high and the Internet speed was not inferior to the Internet cafes in the city.
Several teenagers logged into their game accounts and started playing games.
Chen Ruijie is the only one who has no interest in games and browses the web out of boredom.
It was too noisy in the Internet cafe, so he put on headphones and played music.
Then browse some web content about TOEFL exams and the like.
Chen Ruijie plans to go abroad after graduating from high school.
He only told his parents about this matter, and none of his brothers knew about it.
Tang Ruizhe and the others haven't had such fun playing games in an Internet cafe for a long time.
When I was in Bincheng, I would occasionally go to a black Internet cafe and get checked by my parents. Now that I come here, I can finally surf the Internet without any worries. Playing games in the Internet cafe and at home are completely different atmospheres.
But the happy time is always short.
Soon after driving for two hours, the time was up.
Gu Ping'an went to renew his subscription and they continued playing.
Gu Ping'an had just sat down when suddenly several uncles in uniforms came into the Internet cafe.
"Check ID card."
When Huangmao's network administrator saw this, he looked frightened.
He hurriedly stepped forward, nodded and bowed to explain,
"Brother, we are all adults here, there is no need to check."
"As a matter of routine, we have checked the two Internet cafes above."
The man in uniform said to the network administrator, "Just sit there and don't move."
No matter how anxious Huang Mao's network administrator was, he could only stand there and not dare to move.
Gu Zian and the others were having so much fun at the moment that they didn't even notice anyone coming into the public security department.
They wore earphones and heard nothing. When they were found, several young men looked confused. When they took off their earphones, they saw that everyone surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe had stood up.
The adults continued surfing the Internet, while the minors stood in a row.
"Please show me your ID card." He checked in front of Gu Zi'an,
Gu Zian had no choice but to take out his ID card from his pocket and show it to his uncle in uniform.
"Yours." Then it was Tang Ruizhe.
Tang Ruizhe touched it again and again, and finally had to hand it over.
"17 years old." The uniformed uncle looked majestic and looked at Chen Ruijie and Jin Xin.
"It's your turn."
Several young men took out their ID cards one by one. "Gu Pingan?" The uncle in uniform looked at Gu Pingan with burning eyes, "Is it you again?"
