“Damn it! Playing the lottery game again? Only an idiot would believe it!” Lin Feng was in the midst of slaying monsters when he was suddenly disturbed by a dialog box popping up, blocking most of the game screen, causing him to miss three ‘Whirlwind Slashes’ in a row, which made him scream in frustration. Without thinking, he moved the mouse towards the cancel button.
“Hey! Man, you’re bold, daring to challenge the final boss in a dungeon with just one high-level spell!” Just as his finger was about to click the mouse, someone suddenly slapped his shoulder hard, causing the mouse cursor to draw a beautiful arc on the screen, landing right on the confirm button.
The ongoing game screen suddenly froze; the once vibrant patterns turned into a mess of colorful pixels.
The internet cafe was packed, so getting bumped into by passersby wasn’t a big deal.
“Damn! Be gentle, man!” Lin Feng was busy cursing without even noticing the anomaly on the screen. The guy, however, was facing the screen, realized the trouble, made a funny face, and then bolted.
“Smokes! Hey, fatty, leave a smoke, you’re fast on your feet!” Lin Feng extended two fingers, intending to ask for a cigarette, but the fat guy vanished in a flash. Lin Feng thought to himself, “Damn, running like he’s late for his own rebirth!” With no choice but to suppress his craving, he turned back to continue his monster-slaying and leveling up, only to find the game screen frozen, with the damned lottery dialog box now a black square dominating the center of the screen, the mouse cursor stuck on the confirm button, immovable.
