“Damn it, my gear…” Lin Feng was beyond frustrated; today he was in top form, and he had just cornered a fat monster, its health nearly depleted. Just a bit more, and he would have exploded it, but this damn broken computer crashed at the critical moment! And this damned lottery gimmick, how could Lin Feng, a veteran of internet cafe games, not know the tricks involved? It was probably because some premium gear on him had caught someone’s eye.
“Internet manager, the computer’s crashed!” Worried about his game gear being stolen, Lin Feng frantically slapped the monitor. Suddenly, there was a ‘clack’ sound, and something dark fell out from the monitor.
“What are you slapping? Can’t you reboot when it crashes?” The internet manager, a tough woman, heard Lin Feng’s commotion, saw him slapping the monitor, and spoke rudely, striding over to Lin Feng.
“Wow, she’s even fiercer than me! The broken computer crashed…” Lin Feng tried to argue, but this lady was unusually fierce. She pushed Lin Feng aside, bent down, and rebooted the computer without a word. The computer beeped and started logging in again.
“Done!” The manager tossed out two words, turned her waist, and started to leave.
“Hey! My game…”
“Log back in!”
“My…”
“Find it yourself!”
“I…”
“What’s with all the ‘I’s? You think the computer’s too bad? A dollar an hour, what kind of good computer do you expect? If you don’t want to play, fine! Check out at the service desk! If you’re not playing, leave; there are people waiting outside!”
The manager’s roar echoed through the internet cafe, and everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Feng. Especially the guys near the door, eager to rush over and grab a seat.
Lin Feng’s momentum was completely deflated. He thought to himself, “If I had money, would I come to this shady internet cafe?”
“Hmph!” The manager, victorious in battle, left with even more arrogance, her nose almost touching the sky.
“Wait!”
“What now, kid?”
