Chapter 033: Returning Customers Come Again
late at night.
Zhou Lei came out of the Super Dream game cabin in the experience store and ended today's training.
He looked around and found that there seemed to be far fewer people in the experience store tonight than usual.
Mewtwo experience stores are usually open 24 hours a day. The characteristic of the sleep game cabin is that players are in a state of light sleep when experiencing Mewtwo, which will not cause a great mental burden.
Even if you play all night, you will not feel overly tired. You can just take two or three hours of sleep when you get home.
It is said that entertainment industry giants such as Changye Entertainment Group are working hard to develop a super dream game cabin that can completely replace sleep. At that time, in theory, all 8 hours of sleep time can be converted into entertainment time in super dream.
However, this idea is a bit too outrageous even considering the technological level of this world.
So far these are just rumors, and even the trial version of the product has not yet been released.
As for those street-side super dream experience stores that use sitting game cabins or even head-mounted devices, although playing is much more tiring than sleeping game cabins, in order to maximize profits, they will also be open normally at night, but the prices will be lower.
This is not much different from the Internet cafe in Chen She’s previous life.
Due to the extreme popularity of "Walking in the Garden" these days, Lishan Technology's Super Dream Experience Store has many customers in the evening, and the utilization rate of the Super Dream game cabin is about 70%.
But today, the number of customers staying all night has dropped sharply to about 30%.
Zhou Lei was at the company headquarters to pick up equipment during the day, so he didn't know the specific reason.
He asked several resistance waiters who were on night shift and found out that a large-scale conflict would break out between the Shark Gang and the Jungle Gang tonight!
People nearby got the news in advance and stayed indoors, so the customer flow of the experience store was greatly affected.
The waiters in the experience store are all rotated rebel soldiers, and there is also a certain security force at night to prevent some emergencies.
Tonight, these rebel soldiers who had just updated their equipment were all on high alert.
Although the fight between the two gangs is unlikely to spread to the experience store, we still need to be highly vigilant.
Zhou Lei asked everyone to continue to strengthen their vigilance, and he went to the rooftop terrace of the experience store, took out his alloy sword, and stroked it lovingly.
The captain has already said that for rebel soldiers like Zhou Lei who are talented in cold weapon combat, the company will not only provide weapons, but will also use company resources to guarantee their future development. This makes Zhou Lei look forward to future development.
For some reason, Zhou Lei always felt that the captain's style of behavior changed after he fell into a coma, but this change was mostly for the better.
Although the original Captain Chen She had a strong personal charisma and everyone was willing to follow him through life and death, most people still felt that there was little hope and were very pessimistic about the future of the entire resistance army.
And now, for some reason, Zhou Lei and other ordinary resistance soldiers felt for the first time that the future was becoming bright!
Just then, Zhou Lei heard bursts of shouting and killing coming from the street below the experience store.
Zhou Lei came to the side of the building and looked down, only to see two groups of thugs engaging in a melee in the night!
The shouts and screams mixed with the sounds of cold weapons clashing, coupled with frequent gunfire, painted a picture of "freedom".
Zhou Lei was watching seriously at first, a little worried that the fight between the two gangs would affect the experience store, but after watching for a while, he put his mind at ease and began to treat this gang fight with the mentality of watching the fun and excitement.
In fact, Zhou Lei has rarely seen such scenes.
He is different from Zhang Sirui. Zhang Sirui has joined the resistance army for many years. He is a veteran and has seen all kinds of big scenes.
But Zhou Lei is still very young. After joining the resistance army, he has basically been working in the Chen Group. He was promoted by Chen She to be the manager of the experience store, which was just recently .
Seeing the two gangs fighting in the street, Zhou Lei realized that these thugs had no fighting skills at all and fought without any rules.
Both sides had limited guns, so the gunmen's main target was the gunmen on the opposite side, and most of the thugs could only fight on the streets, wielding machetes in a very primitive way, causing rivers of blood.
Zhou Lei had no doubt that in a fight of this magnitude, as long as a team of a dozen rebels attacked from behind, both gangs could be wiped out.
Soon, the police car sirens sounded.
However, the DCD police car did not enter the core area where the two gangs were fighting, but stayed on the outskirts of this area.
It seemed that they didn't care at all about the outcome of the fight between the two gangs, but were more worried about the damage the gang fight would cause to the surrounding area.
As long as the fight between the two gangs remains within a certain range, DCD will not risk getting hurt to stop it.
When the fight between the two gangs is about to come to an end, the DCD police car will come out to disperse these people.
Zhou Lei felt that it was boring and was about to turn around and leave to go back and rest.
Since it has been confirmed that the gang fire will not have any impact on the experience store, he does not need to pay attention to it anymore.
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face among the crowd fighting on the street.
Most of the rebel soldiers were genetically modified and had better eyesight than ordinary people. Although the situation below was very chaotic, Zhou Lei still easily identified the familiar figure.
"Isn't that Zeng Hailong?"
Zeng Hailong was seen holding a machete and fighting a bloody battle with several brothers behind him, howling and rushing forward desperately.
At this time, the gunmen on both sides were also fighting fiercely, and the people fighting with cold weapons on both sides were all mixed together. Opening fire at random might hurt their own people, so Zeng Hailong was not worried about the bullets shot at him by the Jungle Gang for the time being and could focus on killing people.
He was tall and strong, with a sturdy build, and had a certain advantage in physical fitness. At this moment, he moved back and forth flexibly, raising the machete in his hand high up and then bringing it down heavily, cleanly and neatly chopping down the opponents one by one!
Zeng Hailong brought these gangsters with him. They were like a sharp knife, tearing through the Jungle Gang's defenses with lightning speed, which greatly boosted the morale of the Shark Gang!
Zhou Lei couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Zeng Hailong's moves were not very sophisticated, but they were very simple and effective. In such a chaotic battlefield, his attack method was very effective, and it could be said that it formed a dimensionality reduction attack on those unruly hooligans.
The same went for the few thugs following Zeng Hailong. The team they formed directly broke up the opponent's formation, and the situation on the field was quickly reversed.
"I can't believe Zeng Hailong's skills are pretty good. At least he's outstanding among the gangsters."
"Strange, when he first came to the experience store, his skills seemed to be very weak, and he was completely beaten out of temper by us. In just a few days, he has improved very quickly."
Although Zeng Hailong's physical fitness is far inferior to that of Zhou Lei and other resistance fighters, Zhou Lei can still see the rapid growth of this gangster from Zeng Hailong's skills and fighting will in his two previous encounters.
"No, could it be the effect of "The Embers Are Going Out"?"
Zhou Lei suddenly realized that Zeng Hailong and the gangsters behind him were frequent visitors to the experience store. Although they were forced to do so, they had indeed been repeatedly trained in "The Embers Are Going Out".
And it is possible that even Zeng Hailong himself is not aware of this progress!
"It seems that the captain did not lie to us. The Mewtwo game "Embers Are Going Out" can indeed improve our cold weapon combat skills and fighting will. And the improvement effect is very obvious, far more useful than "Desperate Battle"!"
"Could it be that all of this is part of the captain's plan?"
Zhou Lei suddenly developed strong confidence in the Mewtwo game "Embers Are Going Out".
The fight on the street was coming to an end. The two gangs were of similar strength, but the outstanding performance of Zeng Hailong and several thugs reversed the situation and the Jungle Gang immediately collapsed.
At this time, after seeing that the gang fight was over, DCD police cars also entered the block and drove away the remaining thugs, and the night gradually returned to calm.
…
…
Early the next morning, Chen She and Zhang Sirui came to the experience store together.
As soon as Chen She got off the car, he noticed something was wrong.
The whole street was in a mess. Many shops on both sides were closed. There were also some car wreckage after being burned and a lot of dried blood.
The business of the experience store has obviously been seriously affected, and the attendance rate has dropped a lot compared to before.
Chen She asked Zhou Lei with some confusion: "What happened?"
Zhou Lei explained: "Last night, the Shark Gang and the Jungle Gang had a large-scale fight, and the fight was quite fierce. However, our experience store was not affected at all."
Chen She suddenly understood.
He had heard that the Sharks and the Jungle Gang were fighting for control of the street.
It’s just that it’s always been small-scale friction. Today you injure a few of my brothers, and tomorrow I’ll launch a small sneak attack. The conflict between the two sides is constantly escalating.
It wasn't until last night that a large-scale fight finally broke out between the two gangs and the conflict reached its peak.
Chen She didn't care which gang won. No matter which gang won, it would not pose any danger to the experience store.
On the contrary, the current situation is somewhat beneficial to Chen She.
On the one hand, the popularity of "Walking in the Garden" is declining, and other Super Dream Experience Stores have snatched away business; on the other hand, gang fighting has caused the business environment here to deteriorate sharply. Although the experience store has not been directly affected, it will be affected to some extent.
At least people from other districts will know that this place is not safe and will no longer come here to play.
The sudden drop in popularity of the experience store is also good news for Chen She. After all, the experience store is packed every day and makes crazy money. Chen She has to worry about how to spend the money every day, which is really painful.
The current state of the experience store is very consistent with Chen She’s doctrine of the mean.
He strolled to the rest area, sat on the single sofa, opened the e-magazine again, and read it leisurely.
Judging from the current situation, there won’t be a large number of customers coming to the store in the short term.
However, not long after Chen She sat down, he heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside, and a familiar voice said loudly: "This is the store!"
Chen She looked up and saw many hooligans with shark tattoos gathered at the entrance of the experience store .
He couldn't help but frown, thinking, could it be that the Shark Gang became arrogant after killing the Jungle Gang and wanted to cause trouble in the experience store?
Logically speaking, Zeng Hailong’s tragic experience should have served as a warning to the Shark Gang. Their boss shouldn’t be so stubborn, right?
Zhou Lei and the waiters in the experience store also became alert, silently touching their guns on their backs, ready to fight.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, a burly man stepped out from among the gangsters and said with an apologetic smile: "Manager! Manager, don't get me wrong, we are all here to support your business!"
Zhou Lei took a look and saw that it was Zeng Hailong.
Under Zeng Hailong's organization, these gangsters lined up in a long queue very obediently and paid one by one.
The tense atmosphere in the experience store also eased. Some customers were shocked to see so many gang members coming to the store, and some even thought it would be best to leave.
But after seeing that there would be no conflict between the two sides, he lay back in the game cabin again.
Seeing this scene, Chen She was very puzzled.
what's the situation?
He still remembered that last time, Zeng Hailong and those gangsters were tortured by him until they were pissing and shitting themselves, and they were almost crying. When they left, it was obvious that they didn't want to step into the experience store again in their lifetime.
But now they not only came by themselves, but also brought a group of brothers.
What? Does this mean I can't be the only one suffering? I need to let my brothers feel the same way as I do?
