On the sixth day of the lunar month, Qin Xiaobao drove back to the Magic City, saving a lot of time compared to when he came here.
The urban area is quite lively. All businesses are open or not closed at all. Colorful decorations are hung at the door, even on the trees.
I went to work on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year in the company, and I came back early because I was invited.
Deng Chao called last night, and after chatting for a while, he said that the seventh day of the lunar month was his son's birthday. If he had nothing to do, he would come over to play with no one else, just to entertain a few friends.
Qin Xiaobao stayed at the farm for ten days. To be honest, he was a little bored, so he happily agreed.
Although it was not kind, it did give him a reason to leave. He had become accustomed to the pace of life in the city. He could stay on the farm for a few days, but not for a long time.
Open the window and smell the PM2.5 air, which feels inexplicably friendly.
After entering the city, Qin Xiaobao was not in a hurry to go home, nor did he call the Xiaoming dog owners. They were still in their hometown at this moment. If he called and said that he was in the magic city, he would definitely be restless and not cause trouble to others.
Already.
I was a little hungry, so I found a Lanzhou Ramen restaurant and went in.
It was no longer lunch time and there was no one inside. After Hululu finished a bowl of noodles, he thought about it and went to the shopping mall not far away.
It’s a child’s birthday, so you need to buy a gift.
After much selection and searching on Baidu, I purchased a set of Lego toys and Barbie dolls. Brother Chao has two children, a son and a daughter.
Also, what kind of milk? I picked up some as a gift and then drove home.
On the way, he wanted to go and see how the house was decorated, but he remembered that he didn't seem to have the key, so he had to give up.
Returning to the den, I feel relaxed.
Turn on the water heater, open the window, turn on the computer and play music, take a rag and mop, whistle to finish the cleaning, take a hot bath, change clothes, sit on the sofa and click on the phone with satisfaction.
I accidentally clicked on the Singularity app and decided to take a look at what articles are popular recently.
Clicking on the new book ranking, he smiled.
The first place was "I show my cards, the child is mine!"
Although he has been in the countryside for the past few days, he still knows something about what is happening in the entertainment industry.
The popularity of this actress overwhelms everything, even the mistakes of the Spring Festival Gala host become insignificant. With her own efforts, she enriches the curiosity of people who eat melons during the Chinese New Year and the entire holiday. Let’s just talk about the popularity of these authors.
His abilities are no weaker than those of ordinary media reporters.
Needless to say, this book has a lot of clicks and comments. However, the focus of attention is not on the content, so it probably won’t go far.
Now that he had read the novel, although Qin Xiaobao was reluctant to move, he moved to the computer and started writing the second part of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp".
Money still has to be earned.
Since the two books were completed separately, the number of royalties on the 12th of every month has plummeted. I finally understand how those professional authors insist on typing every day. In addition to dreams, they should also think about what they want to eat next month.
In this way, more than two hours passed. When he stretched out, he found that it was getting dark.
The speed has slowed down, and I have coded less than 40,000 words. I am not in a hurry to send it out, and I will wait for it to exist.
I looked around and remembered that I had brought my phone into the bedroom to charge it.
There are two missed calls and several WeChat messages.
First I replied to Yaya and arrived safely, and then I replied to Brother Chao.
"What's wrong, are you asleep?" Familiar, there is no good opening line for you.
"No, my phone was charging just now and I was doing something outside."
"Are you in the magic city?"
"Well, I arrived in the afternoon."
"Okay, what about that? Chen He and Lu Han are here too. I mean you can come over with them tomorrow."
"No wonder Brother He called me just now." Qin Xiaobao opened the refrigerator and found that it had been emptied out a year ago. Except for the non-perishable wine, everything else was empty: "Are you at home or in a restaurant?"
"It must be a restaurant. There are more than a dozen people, and the family is too busy," Brother Chao said, "You don't have to feel pressure, we are all from the circle, and the relatives are not here, so we just find an opportunity to get together."
"I understand, Brother Chao, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
The conversation with Deng Chao was still polite. He and Chen He just dissed and teased each other. He even invited Lu Han to have a group video chat with him.
"The three of us are currently single, right?"
Chen He’s daughter-in-law is in her hometown in Fujian, Qin Xiaobao, and Lu Han’s girlfriend are in the same situation.
All three of them returned to Magic City early for the same reason.
"What do you want to do? Isn't it going to a nightclub?" Qin Xiaobao suddenly felt a little hopeful.
"Nightclubs are not suitable for us." Chen He denied it directly: "Why don't we make an appointment for dinner and then do something particularly interesting?"
"What?" Qin Xiaobao saw the two of them smiling tacitly: "It can't be about playing games."
"Congratulations, you answered correctly."
"But I haven't played games much, why should I go to an Internet cafe?" Qin Xiaobao hesitated: "Where should the three of us sit, we probably won't be able to play games normally?"
"How is it possible to go to an Internet cafe?" Chen He said with a proud look on his face: "You forgot, I have an e-sports team and an entertainment anchor company. I am still on vacation. There are more than a dozen computers in there to play casually. I'm tired.
I can still sleep there.”
Qin Xiaobao didn't write ink, so he would definitely be bored staying at home alone. He hadn't seen them for a few days, so he made an appointment with them and drove there directly.
Both have money, and they also like to act like monsters, saying that they must experience what it feels like to buy a luxury car worth more than three million yuan.
So I didn’t drive and took a taxi to the hotel.
It was the Chinese New Year, so I didn’t go to Chen He’s hotpot restaurant, but I found a random place and had a simple meal.
Their e-sports base was a bit far from the city center. After stopping for a while, the two game enthusiasts found a small shop and returned with two bags.
There are a lot of cigarettes, water, instant noodles, ham sausages, etc.
I won't be able to finish it, so I'll leave it to the team members when I leave tomorrow so it won't be wasted.
This was Qin Xiaobao's first time seeing an e-sports base.
From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary community, except that the houses are a little shorter, with three or four floors and independent yards.
At Lu Han's reminder, he saw a sign in the garden: Tianba E-Sports Club.
"There are several teams settled here," Chen He extended his hand and introduced: "That's RNG, on the left is IG, and..."
Qin Xiaobao smiled: "Are they all the same game?"
"Absolutely. We often see them in competitions."
"Would it happen that if the fight got too angry, we would go directly to the next door to fight with a real person?"
"Hahaha, that's not the case. The relationship between the players is actually quite good. They are all friends off the stage. There are some who don't want to deal with and they won't speak out. Let's go. Our base is ahead."
