Who can fall in love if he can cultivate immortality?

Chapter 337 The price of happiness is getting higher and higher

After eating, looking at the time, it was still early, and I was a little reluctant to go back to school. The street was full of pedestrians, so we discussed it and decided to go to the video game mall.

Calling it a video game city, there are only a dozen or so "thousands in one" arcade machines, and the rest are all dancing machines, claw machines, basketball machines, racing cars, and a few "House of Death" machines. Most of them are small trains, building block areas, and playground areas for younger children.

"What are we playing?"

Li Qiao asked.

"Daddy will take you to play with space sand." Gu Yuan smiled and pulled Li Qiao toward a table surrounded by four or five-year-old children. Those children were putting sand into molds, and after pouring it out, there were all kinds of things. shape.

"go to hell!"

"Come on, come on, twenty coins per person. If it's not enough, I'll buy more!"

At this time, the friend came over with a net bag of game coins and gave some to everyone.

"Old man is bleeding heavily this time!" Li Qiao said with a smile.

Wu Xiaojuan and Ye Wenjun were both coming to the video arcade for the first time, so they didn’t know how to do it at all.

Happiness can still be bought with money, but the price is getting higher and higher.

"Who can dance?"

Ordinary arcades have almost no room to survive. In the past few years, arcades in Liuzhou have closed down one after another. The little fat kid who liked to stand behind him and watch him play "Three Kingdoms" also began to Get involved in Internet cafes and stare at others playing CF.

Yu Xuemin looked around.

"Let me do it!"

At the same time, I also secretly lamented that with the growth of the Internet.

At this time, most of the boys were gathered in front of the dance machine.

The two tuned up a song that they didn't know the name of but sounded familiar and started dancing.

Gu Yuan glanced at the screen and said, "This is called "Excalibur: The Legend of Demons". It's an arcade machine that imitates "Yi Tian". You've never seen it before. It's normal."

It costs one yuan and five coins in the Liuzhou arcade. If you are good at it, you can play it for a whole weekend. But here, one dollar was just one coin, which was so expensive that he was stunned. If there were only three brothers, he would definitely drag Gu Yuan and Li Qiao to a cheap arcade.

Although this game was released in 2003, it was originally intended to change "Yitian". Later, Cha Baoyi and Cha Baoyi failed to reach an agreement, so they had no choice but to change some details before it was released. But because it was already the "last years of arcades" and Internet cafes were very popular, not many people knew about it, and it was not as famous as games such as "Three Kingdoms", "Famous Generals", "Street Fighter" and "King of Fighters".

The friend was depressed for half a minute, but he was quickly attracted by the dazzling arcade machine. After watching it for a while, he dragged Gu Yuan and Li Qiao, "Look at this game, it's just like martial arts. You can actually do combos. There are also palm counters and split moves, which I have never seen before!”

But since we agreed to treat them, we had to bite the bullet and hold up the scene.

The friend smiled and said nothing, and his heart was bleeding.

Obviously, they didn't dance by themselves, their eyes were fixed on the girls in front of the dance machine.

Chen Jianjia glanced at Gu Yuan inadvertently from the corner of her eye, and walked up with a smile.

Because he feels that headshots with CF guns are more exciting than Zhuge Liang's fire swords and ice swords.

"Damn, it's too expensive." The friend muttered softly when he gave Gu Yuan the game currency. This round of buying coins cost him one hundred, fifty or sixty yuan.

but.

Gu Yuan knew what he was thinking and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think so much when you go out to play. Being happy is the most important thing. Just think of spending money to buy fun."

"This song seems familiar!" Li Qiao came over.

"Does it feel like the DNA is moving?" Gu Yuan said with a smile.

Li Qiao pointed to his right leg, "Ang, my legs started shaking unconsciously."

"It's those songs you have in QQ space!"

"Jay, no wonder!"

Li Qiao's expression changed. Non-mainstream influences people of his generation. Although he thought it was cool at the time, when he looks back at the previous Martian articles and photos of cute people pouting, he wishes he could go back in time and strangle himself to death. .

Gu Yuan smiled, looked at the two dancing people, and then turned to look at Ye Wenjun: "What do you want to play? I'll take you for a spin."

"I do not know."

Ye Wenjun shook his head. The first time she came to the video game city, she was simply dazzled.

At this time, the player of the "House of Death" next to him ended the game. Gu Yuan's eyes lit up and he pulled her over.

"I don't know how to do this."

"I'm here to teach you. It's very simple. Pull the trigger to shoot. After the bullets are fired, move the gun head out of the screen. Pull the trigger again to fill the bullet. Just don't let the zombies get close to you."

"Oh oh oh, is that so?"

If it were any other girl, she would definitely not care, or even say she is not interested.

But Ye Wenjun listened very seriously, as if he didn't want to miss a word, because playing games with the boy he liked was the most interesting in the world.

"I remember!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

Gu Yuan put in the coin and started the game.

Ye Wenjun was so frightened by the oncoming zombies that he even forgot his previous instructions. However, before the zombies could reach him, he was shot in the head.

"Sorry, I was so nervous that I forgot to shoot!" Ye Wenjun whispered.

"It's okay, just play games and have fun."

Gu Yuan smiled.

Over there, Yu Xuemin and Chen Jianjia had already finished dancing a song. Yu Xuemin was still choosing a song as he still had some unfinished thoughts. Chen Jianjia opened the mineral water and pretended to look around while drinking. When she saw Gu Yuan playing games with Ye Wenjun, her eyes could not help but dim.

"Still dancing?"

"Jump!"

Chen Jianjia nodded.

On the other side, Zhuo You and Li Qiao were already sitting in front of "Excalibur: The Record of Conquering Demons with Divine Sword". They were beating the boss and yelling. Wu Xiaojuan was sitting obediently on the side with her head propped up.

At this time, a child of about ten years old came over with two dollars and said, "Uncle, can I buy you two game coins?"

The friend's head tilted.

The other party didn't have his parents following him, so he obviously ran out secretly. The video game city dare not openly sell coins to such children, so they can only find a way to buy them from other customers.

"Give you two, and go home as soon as you're done playing."

The friend took out two coins and put them in each other's hands. He also explained to Wu Xiaojuan who was sitting aside, fearing that the other party would think he was too generous:

"Seeing him is like seeing us when we were kids. At that time, whether we were playing game consoles or going to Internet cafes, we didn't have much money. Gu Yuan would encourage me to sell used books every time."

"But the total cost of books for several semesters is only three to five yuan. Some children in the vegetable market often go to get eggs. Because the old hens sold in the vegetable market are packed in large cages, sometimes They can lay eggs directly in the cage. They can use wire to hook the eggs out, and each egg can be sold for five yuan, but Gu Yuan and I can't learn it, and the other children don't teach it, so we can only pick up rags. "

"There are also some children who secretly tie magnets on the line, then find some old game consoles, throw the magnets in, and then suck out a lot of game coins. But Lao Gu and I have never done this."

Wu Xiaojuan held her head in her hands and listened very seriously.

After all, listening to boys talk about their childhood is also very interesting, and it even feels like participating.

of course.

If you were a girl you didn't like, what you said would be boring.

As he was talking, suddenly there was a burst of crying in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw that the child who just bought coins was being scolded loudly by a woman holding his ears. It was obviously his parents who came over.

"Will this happen too?" Wu Xiaojuan asked.

"meeting!"

The friend nodded.

Every time they play games or are in an Internet cafe, what they fear most is that someone suddenly grabs their ears from behind. As soon as someone reaches out, they have to stand up obediently.
