After half a year of operation, the Internet cafe business has gradually improved, and Hong Kong citizens have gradually accepted this new high-tech thing. In other words, just like when karaoke first appeared in Hong Kong, many people were willing to experience the novelty.
Perhaps because of the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, after the Spring Festival this year, someone opened an Internet cafe in a magical city in the mainland, a full year and months ahead of schedule.
Internet cafes that are not intended for future generations are deeply hated by parents. The first Internet cafe in Shanghai was a hit and was reported by the media. In people's eyes, Internet cafes are not a place to play games, but a high-tech holy place for learning computers and checking information.
In an era when per capita wages were a few hundred yuan, this Internet cafe in Magic City charged 0 yuan per hour, and it was often full. Sometimes parents even sent their children to surf the Internet.
Kang Jianfei's charming Internet cafe does not have such a strong learning atmosphere. Most netizens are in forums and playing games. It is a new type of entertainment place.
After many suggestions from netizens, Charming Internet Cafe has been renovated, many partitions have been installed, and the unobstructed lobby has been converted into separate partitions. Single rooms with only one computer are the most expensive, followed by rooms with three or five computers.
, Seven or eight units are the cheapest, and a tiered charging standard is implemented.
"Network manager, open a private room and have a cup of Pitz coffee!" A female white-collar worker walked in carrying a bag and shouted.
"Okay, come with me." The waiter smiled.
The female white-collar worker followed the waiter to the private room, and soon the coffee was served. She just sat in front of the computer, drinking coffee, chatting on the BBS forum, and opening the web page to browse various information.
This is a very popular petty bourgeoisie life in Hong Kong nowadays. The young middle class who pursue the trend often spend the entire weekend afternoon in Internet cafes.
In order to cater to the mood of these white-collar workers, smoking and loud noises are strictly prohibited in Internet cafes.
Classmate Zhou Jiaming, the first generation of Internet addicted boy in Hong Kong, was also surfing the Internet at this time. Unfortunately, he was a poor student and could only sit in a large cubicle with eight computers. His "Piaomiao Journey" account has reached level 45 and is still there.
In the game, I got married to my female netizen Xiaomao, and their online relationship developed very quickly.
The marriage system was added by Kang Jianfei to the game developers. Players can marry players, or they can choose to marry certain NPCs, as long as they meet the conditions.
This kind of gameplay makes online game fans in the prehistoric era very excited, especially those with introverted personalities. In the game, the hero saves the beauty, and then successfully gets the NPC girl to marry him. Don't be too crooked.
In fact, everything is just text, and the NPC doesn't even have a picture. What it looks like depends on the player's imagination.
In recent days, Zhou Jiaming and his girlfriend Xiaomao rarely play "Piaomiao Journey". They are obsessed with a stand-alone game called "Xuanyuan Sword". I heard that this game was imported from Taiwan.
Not used in the textual description of "Journey to the Piaomiao", "Xuanyuan Sword" has pictures, music, and plot, which is like opening the door to a new world, making Zhou Jiaming deeply addicted to it.
The only drawback is that it cannot connect to the Internet. Zhou Jiaming often thinks: It would be great if "Xuanyuan Sword" could be connected to the Internet, so that he could team up with the kittens to defeat monsters and complete tasks.
After playing for a while, Zhou Jiaming went to the BBS forum and typed a question: Is the cat here?
Little Kitty: Yes, what’s wrong?
Long Aotian: It's almost 6 o'clock. Don't play too long. Go eat first.
Little Kitty: Okay, you too.
Long Aotian: Are you in an Internet cafe?
Little Kitty: In the school electronic reading room.
Long Aotian: Why don't we come out and have dinner together.
Little Kitty: Okay, you pick the place.
"What!" Zhou Jiaming stood up and shouted excitedly.
The Internet cafe waiter came over and reminded: "Sir, please be quiet."
"Sorry." Zhou Jiaming hurriedly sat down and typed. He and Xiaomao had been dating online for three months and were finally able to meet in person.
Nowadays, although the price of mobile phone has been reduced, it is not affordable for ordinary students. They don’t have mobile phones, so they can only make an appointment with the time and place, and use books and roses as tokens.
After Zhou Jiaming paid the bill, he immediately went out to buy roses and then took a taxi to his destination excitedly.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhou Jiaming finally saw the girl holding a book coming over. He asked uncertainly: "Are you a little kitten?"
"Yes, you are Long Aotian!" the little cat laughed.
Zhou Jiaming was a little disappointed, because the little kitten was only average-looking and not the stunning beauty he imagined. But she was not ugly either, and she had a delicate appearance and a particularly tall figure. Overall, she could score 70 points.
The two talked about everything on the Internet, but they were very reserved when they met. After finishing the meal, they had not said a word in total.
In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Zhou Jiaming suggested: "Let's go see a movie."
"Okay." The little cat smiled.
The two walked into a nearby movie theater, which happened to be owned by Oriental Cinemas.
Zhou Jiaming looked up at the show schedule on the wall and found that from 7 to 9 o'clock it was mostly "The Wind", with one or two shows of "Happy Time" (starring Chen Xiaochun) that had just been released in between, and "Westward Journey" had to wait until 9 o'clock
Only half of it.
"I heard from my classmates that "The Wind" is good." Zhou Jiaming said.
The little cat followed the good advice: "Then let's watch "The Wind"."
It was the off-season for movies. Although it was a weekend, there were relatively few people watching movies. By the time they bought their tickets and entered, 60% of the audience was already in the screening hall, which was considered a very high attendance rate.
Before the movie started, Zhou Jiaming was at a loss for words and asked: "Have you seen Zhou Xingchi's "Westward Journey"?"
The little cat said: "I watched "Moonlight Box" during the Chinese New Year. I thought it was pretty good, but my parents didn't like it."
Zhou Jiaming said with a smile: "My father is the same. After watching "Moonlight Box", he said it was too nonsense and Zhou Xingchi's movies were getting worse and worse."
The little cat said: "Kang Jianfei's movies are really good, but it's a pity that he didn't have any movies last year."
Zhou Jiaming pointed to the big screen and said: "This film was written by Mr. Kang."
Suddenly, the lights in the auditorium dimmed and the movie started to show.
The film begins with the logos of DreamWorks, Feizhi Pictures and Shanghai Film Studio, and then subtitles appear——
Producer, screenwriter: Kang Jianfei
Director: Feng Xiaogang
Starring: Zhang Guorong, Chen Hong, Li Bingbing, Tang Zhenzong, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Guangbei, Wang Bozhao
It's a pity that Zhou Jiaming and Xiaomao only know Zhang Guorong and Kang Jianfei. They are not even familiar with Tang Zhenye's brother Tang Zhenzong.
At the beginning of the movie, it was still a scene of lights and colorful decorations, and two people were sitting in a restaurant talking. A sudden gunshot shocked the audience because there was no warning at all.
The assassination scene of just over ten seconds aroused the emotions of the audience, and was followed by a torture scene. Because it was not deleted, it was extremely bloody. The female assassin's legs were put on a rope and yanked.
He screamed shrilly, and blood continued to ooze from his lower body.
"Ah!" The kitten was so frightened that it crawled into Zhou Jiaming's arms.
Zhou Jiaming had no intention of taking advantage at all, because he was also frightened, and the bloody scene made his chest feel cold. (To be continued)
