Soling Internet Cafe

"I'm back." Chu Lingya said, and came in with Chang Yuxin.

In the small courtyard, pagoda trees are verdant.May is the time when pagoda flowers bloom. The old pagoda tree in Saoling yard blooms later than other trees, whether it is because of its old age or because it was raised in the city.At this time, half a tree of pure white Sophora japonica buds had just been gathered, dotted and hidden in the lush greenery, like a shy girl, peeping secretly.

After passing through Chu Lingya's hands, Sao Ling has taken on a whole new look.

A small vertical pool was dug in front of the screen wall at the entrance, in which water lilies and goldfish were raised, and lucky coins were thrown.At the beginning, Chu Lingya was worried that there was no running water in it and needed to be cleaned frequently. When she asked Xie Rujian, Xie Rujian only said something simple, and she didn't know how he did it. A landscape with constant running water.The water in the pool is so clear that even the pattern of coins lying underneath can be clearly seen. Now even Chu Lingya can't help but want to throw two coins in it when he passes by, let alone those who come to pass the time guests.

Bypassing the screen wall, the rectangular yard is divided into three areas. Around the old locust tree, there are swings, scattered seats, deck chairs, and even thick futons.Now that the communication equipment is developed, many people can surf the Internet with a mobile phone pad. Going to an Internet cafe is just to create an atmosphere. Chu Lingya has upgraded Saoling’s wireless equipment, which has improved the bandwidth and coverage, so that sitting in the yard can also be leisurely. Surfing the Internet to pass the time, when the weather is fine, lying in the yard, basking in the sun and taking a nap, life is really easy.

The second area is the flower bonsai area specially arranged by Chu Lingya.Strictly speaking, Sao Ling is not big, at least it doesn't look too big in the daytime. The area of ​​the entire courtyard is about 2 square meters, which is not suitable for making big moves. Chu Lingya started from the details and built a The flower stand is equipped with landscape spring water, some decorations with a sense of design and bookshelves, for people to play, take pictures, and read books at will.As for the third area, Chu Lingya plans to place a buffet table under the eaves in the future, and afternoon tea will be served at [-] pm every afternoon, and guests who have purchased the afternoon tea set can come here to have a good time.

As for the white tiger, because it has been given the important task of representing cats in Internet cafes, the whole yard is dominated by it. There are cat toys, cat climbing frames, cat food bowls, cat litters, and everything it has. Chu Lingya is the best. Rolling around in the yard every day, it's good for girls to chase after it, so it doesn't restrict its range of activities.

It was the first time Chang Yuxin came to Saoling, looked around and gave a thumbs up: "Not bad!"

Chu Lingya led him into the hall, and saw a familiar figure talking to Xie Rujian.

"Yuezhao?" Chu Lingya shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The man turned around, and it turned out to be Yue Nuo.Qin Xiaoyu's case was over, Long Haiming and others went to jail, and Yue Nuo also went to the police station to surrender.It wasn't until then that he knew that the uncle guarding the factory didn't die from a liquefied gas explosion.Before that, in order to stun him, Long Haiming hit the uncle on the head with a stone, causing severe brain damage to the latter. In fact, even if the cylinder did not explode, the uncle would not be able to save him.In the whole incident, although Yue Nuo could not be completely exonerated, he was only an accessory to the theft. In addition, he took the initiative to call the police to stop the crime, and he was under 18 at the time of the crime. In the end, he was only sentenced to probation and a fine.After the case was over, Yue Nuo did not leave Changle City, but chose to return to his hometown and take root.

"Good afternoon, Lingya, Officer Chang." Yue Nuo is only in his early thirties this year. Before, he was running around, and his life was unstable, so he looked depressed and haggard. Now that the burden in his heart has been put down, he shaved his beard and trimmed his hair. , looks a lot younger, like a young man in his twenties, "I'm here to look for a job, thanks to the boss, he said he lacks a network administrator here."

"Net!" Chu Lingya burst into flames when he heard it. If it was a cat, his hair would have stood on end by now. He hurried to Xie Rujian and said, "Brother Rujian, I won't ask for leave from now on. , don't drive me away!"

Xie Rujian looked at him from behind the glasses: "Didn't you say that you will take over temporarily, and when the Internet cafe is renovated, I will leave when I find a replacement?"

Chu Lingya: "I..." He was indeed the one who said it, but he was just doing it as a stopgap measure!

"It's not, it's not fully renovated yet, and the internal structure needs to be adjusted!" Chu Lingya insisted. In fact, he has roughly planned the interior of Sao Ling. For small rooms, several double rooms and multi-person suites are also arranged, which is convenient for customers to choose flexibly.It is true that the completion of the project is not yet complete, but anyone can follow the drawings.

Yue Nuo was obviously also stunned. Since he decided to settle in Changle City, he naturally needed to find a job.He originally planned to go to those gyms and archery halls to see if there were any jobs, but Xie Rujian took the initiative to find him and asked him to be the network administrator, and Yue Nuo didn't expect that this meant that Chu Lingya would lose his job.

"Thank you boss, otherwise I would still..."

Xie Rujian glanced at him, and Yue Nuo shut up.To be honest, he was a little afraid of Xie Rujian.

Xie Rujian said, "I lied to you."

Chu Lingya: "Huh?"

Xie Rujian: "You have been in the Internet cafe for a while, and from now on the Internet cafe will have morning and evening shifts, and you will be on the evening shift, so I will let Xiaoyue take your day shift."

The expression on Chu Lingya's face changed from angry to depressed to smiling, and then he was a little dumbfounded: "Brother Rujian, are you deliberately bullying me?"

Xie Rujian slightly raised the corners of her lips: "Yes."

Chu Lingya didn't get angry anymore: "Anyway, it's fine if you don't drive me away."

Chang Yuxin's head is about to drop when he looks at him. His good friend has always been an elite and rational face since he was a child. He is young and mature, and he is a decathlon. Although he is really enthusiastic, he has seen him so clingy look.Chang Yuxin desperately shook his head, fell, this time it really fell.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Rujian, let me introduce you officially. This is my good friend Chang Yuxin, who is now working in the Criminal Police Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Xie Rujian glanced at Chang Yuxin, slightly surprised in his eyes: "You friend, you have been very lucky since you were a child."

Chu Lingya: "Well, yes, it's very good."

Chang Yuxin: "?"

Xie Rujian: "No wonder, it's a rare sight."

Chu Lingya: "I also think that I found him the first time I saw him."

Chang Yuxin: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, I wish you a good life." Chu Lingya said, "Don't you want to try the game you just got, I'll turn it on for you."

"What game?" Xie Rujian asked.

"The supporting demo game for the special chapter of "Pretty Detective Bai Jingjing" was presented at today's press conference. This IP is very popular, and I guess it will be a big hit later, so I brought it back to try." Chu Lingya said, "Now it's just a small IP. Range test, added special protection, I researched it, suspected that a serial number can only be installed on one machine, I tricked him, and then we will have two accounts to attract customers to try it out."

Yue Nuo: "..." Big brother, you just said that he is your good friend who died!

Chang Yuxin on the other end still didn't know that he was cheated, and was skillfully dismantling, importing, and installing programs.

"Lingya, your computer is protected, how do you do it?"

"Wait a minute, I'll open the authority." Chu Lingya said something and walked over.

The game was installed quickly, but there was a problem when opening it.

Only a row of bright white words flashed on the black screen: "Do you want to enter Bai Jingjing's special country for adventure? The gathering of the brave is being called. The official launch time is 22:00 tonight."

"Why is it still an online game?" Chang Yuxin couldn't help but mutter.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Luo Xin finished dealing with everything at hand, and now he had time to close the door and install Bai Jingjing's special game demo.

Recalling the scene of arguing with a man dressed as Roy during the day, she couldn't help curling her lips in disgust.

That's how it is when an IP becomes popular, good and evil are mixed, and there are everyone.Although Luo Xin is not Roy black, offending Luo Xun is tantamount to offending her.

what a man!

She couldn't help muttering again.The computer screen shows that the game is starting to install. What's interesting is that the progress bar is not a common long bar that indicates the percentage of the installation progress, but a small person walking in a long dark tunnel.Bats hanging upside down, fireflies flying, and spiders hanging upside down along the cave roof can be seen faintly in the tunnel. The progress of the villain's exploration of the tunnel seems to be the progress of the installation.

"It's quite special." Luo Xin thought, manipulating the villain to move forward.

"Xinxin, the bath water is ready for you!" Her mother's voice came from outside the door, and Luo Xin replied "Come here", but she didn't let go of the mouse.

As the villain's exploration advances, the tunnel gradually reveals more features, broken bricks, red-letter slogans with a strong era style, scattered iron horses, etc., all of which indicate that this should be a story with a local background.

The era background of the Bai Jingjing series is not limited to modern times. Due to the special background of the heroine, every time a new series is launched, it is not composed in a chronological narrative. From time to time, some reversals and jumps will occur. It's not very friendly to newcomers who come into contact with Bai Jingjing's series, but once you read it, you will find that it is not caused by the author's lack of writing skills.On the contrary, the author Bai Jing has a very complete plan for the control of the entire series, and every change in perspective or background is meaningful. The reason for the big male and female fans.

Luo Xin is an old fan of the Bai Jingjing series. She bought it and watched it almost when the first episode of Bai Jingjing came out, and followed the series for five years. One of the maintainers of the "Baijia Mansion" group is responsible for editing Bai Jingjing's related entries, data entry and review.In other words, Luo Xin is very familiar with all the scenes in the Bai Jingjing series, but Luo Xin has never seen this scene.

"Where is this place? Could it be the hometown in Bai Jingjing's adventure notes?" Luo Xin also mentioned to Chang Yuxin during the day that Bai Jingjing's first appearance was actually a short story. At that time, Bai Jing hadn't signed a contract with the publisher. This comic is a free post on the social network. The protagonist of the story is also named Bai Jingjing, who is accompanied by a German shepherd named Roy.Later, when the Bai Jingjing series became popular, someone found out this short story, suspecting that it was Bai Jingjing's first appearance, and some people said it might be just a coincidence or a co-worker, anyway, so far, Bai Jing herself has never officially admitted it.

"As expected of a special chapter, the stage has returned to the place where Bai Jingjing walked out. It seems that a big mystery will be solved this time!" Luo Xin became excited, gearing up and looking forward to the progress soon.

"Xinxin," Luo Xin's mother yelled again, "The water is getting cold!"

"Understood, I'll come right away!" Luo Xin replied impatiently.

The villain is still advancing in the tunnel, 95%, 96%, 97%... When it reaches 99%, the villain seems to have bumped into something suddenly. Although it keeps moving forward, it does not move, and even the progress bar stops. .

what happened?

Luo Xin pressed the mouse button a few times, grabbed the mouse and flicked it.The cursor is normal, and the characters continue to move, but they just don't refresh the new scene.

Is it stuck?

"Xinxin, stop playing." Luo Xin's mother was obviously a little angry, and shouted loudly outside.

"Okay, okay, I'm getting my clothes, I'll be here soon." Luo Xin looked down at the computer host.The indicator light is blinking, showing that the disc is working, what is going on?

Luo Xin straightened up and faced the screen unexpectedly.

"This is..." Luo Xin's eyes widened rapidly, and her adrenaline soared. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound.

"Xinxin?" Luo Xin's mother pushed open the door and looked around. The computer in the room was still on, showing the computer desktop without any programs running, but the place in front of the desk was empty.

"Where is the person? Have you gone to take a bath?" Luo Xin's mother muttered in confusion, and closed the door behind her.

When the door was closed, the desktop shook, as if a rag had been twisted by an external force, and the icon displayed as a black cat with golden pupils on the desktop melted into water, dripping down the screen colorfully. It disappeared soon.

This night, the same thing happened in many people's homes, only Chang Yuxin, who didn't respond to how to install games at home, finally realized what happened. After calling Chu Lingya several times but no one answered, He went to sleep angrily, and decided to settle accounts with Chu Lingya at dawn tomorrow!
