Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 21: The Gate of Kassel (I)
The worn fluorescent tubes were shrouded in choking smoke and flickered. From time to time, someone's cheers or curses could be heard. Amid the crackling sound of keyboards, every boy sitting on the broken sofa had a resolute expression, holding the mouse with a cocky look on his face, as if he was an emperor commanding his troops straight to the battlefield.
This underground internet cafe has been in this alley for a while, and its configuration and environment are not up to date. It should have been eliminated, but the internet cafes with cute girls in sailor suits often charge six or seven yuan per hour, while the one and a half yuan per hour here is very affordable. Although the machines are not very good, some are big-headed dolls, but they can play the most popular StarCraft or Warcraft games, so it has become the place where the local losers and students go after school.
Most of the people in the Internet cafe gathered around the two seats in the first row to watch StarCraft. There was a girl sitting on the left and a boy on the right. Both of them bent the screen to 45 degrees to prevent the other party from peeking at the screen. The battle had reached a fierce decisive battle. The boy was anxious and his face was red. He made frequent mistakes. He could not keep up with the opponent's micro-manipulation at all. He wanted to pull out his feet and use all 20 fingers to attack at the same time. But the girl on the opposite side was still so calm. She squatted on the sofa, holding down her skirt to operate the mouse, with a relaxed smile on her lips, as if she was dead.
Even the cashier girl knew what these people were doing here, and there was always invisible contempt in her eyes when she looked at the crowd. Perhaps those high school students and young men were not here to play games, but to watch the girls playing games. The players were not interested, but the spectators were interested.
It's rare to see a girl coming to the Internet cafe alone, and she's a high school student wearing an aristocratic middle school uniform, which makes the masters of this Internet cafe very interested in her. When they found out that this girl turned on the computer not to chat on QQ, but to play StarCraft, their eyes almost popped out, and her slender white fingers flew between the keyboard and mouse, just like a beautiful piano girl at the tenth level, and her GPM must be over 250.
On the screen, the Zerg army has already rushed into the human base. The little girl is actually a player who loves Zerg. This race is not good-looking at all. When they die, green shit explodes all over the ground. Each type of soldier looks weird.
But she was obviously an expert at using Zerg. Not long after the battle began, she deliberately divided the dogs that were sent out to explore the way into two teams. They ran into the human machine gunners head-on. While they were swinging their guns to keep the distance, the other team secretly went around them and successfully forced them into a dead end, being attacked from both sides, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of being eaten up by the human machine gunners.
Now the battle is developing to the final stage. The Zerg, relying on their military and technological advantages, actively attack the Terran base. The bunker turrets are spitting flames crazily, the machine guns are blazing, the infantry and tanks are cooperating to defend, the battlecruisers are already in place for air strikes, the ammunition is flying, and the smoke is everywhere. The human infantry falls one after another. This is a battle of life and death. The Zerg army has invested all its resources. The previous two-line attack of the Hydralisk and the Dragon suppressed the human side, making the boy mistakenly think that the girl's fighting style is very fierce. In secret, the Zerg side has been secretly upgrading the three bases. When the human race reacted and rushed to the Zerg base, the Devourer Guardian and the heavy army of the Mammoth Queen had already assembled. The human race had no choice but to retreat temporarily and was forced to defend.
The boy's face was flushed from holding back his anger, his fingers were cramped from typing on the keyboard, nervousness and a sense of honor made him put 100% focus on this battle. A man who can't even beat a girl in a game is as shameful as being impotent!
"Retreat now." The girl suddenly turned her head and grinned, "If you retreat, I'll consider it your surrender. This way, at least you won't end up with a base explosion and get tortured to the point where you're left with nothing but your underwear."
The crowd burst into laughter and the boy gritted his teeth. Even if he didn't want to admit defeat, there was nothing he could do. He could see that the human army could not hold on any longer. The only way to turn the situation around at this moment was with a nuclear bomb, but he didn't have enough time to prepare.
"From Shilan Middle School?" The boy pushed his chair aside and stood up, glancing at the badge on the girl's school uniform. "What's your name?"
"Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei squatted on the chair, holding a Nutri-Express bar and pecking at it, like a little bird.
"Okay, I'll remember it. I'll go back and hone my skills. I'll challenge you again in the future." The boy took out twenty yuan from his pocket and slapped it in front of Lu Mingfei. "You said it, twenty yuan for a challenge, plus a bottle of Nutri-Express."
Lu Mingfei held a banknote between her fingers and raised it proudly to the boy who was walking away from the crowd: "Thank you for your patronage! If you have any ideas, you are welcome to challenge me again!"
After stuffing the money back into her small bag, she turned around and glanced at the crowd behind her: "Are you interested? Twenty yuan challenge, play a game of StarCraft with me, a bottle of Nutri-Express is the entry fee, if I win I'll charge you twenty, if you win I'll give you twenty, or you can ask me to do anything, as long as it's not illegal and within the scope of what I can do."
The lively young men were stunned and looked up and down at Lu Mingfei. The girl had a bun on her head and exuded the youthful aura of a young girl. She was not a beautiful princess, but judging from her score, she was at the level of Lin Daiyu among the rare group of girls who would come to the Internet cafe to play StarCraft. If she wanted to find other girls, there were also some. There was a tank with a loli voice three seats behind her. Press F to enter for free, but no one would want it.
"Can we be your girlfriend?" someone asked after a moment of silence.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei smiled, "But this is a bit high. You have to raise the price."
"No problem!" The boy stepped forward and pushed the kid who was trying to sit down to the side with his shoulder. He took out a fifty-dollar bill and slapped it in front of Lu Mingfei. He stroked his hair with both hands, making it a classic slicked-back hairstyle for a handsome guy. "No need to give me the change. You can have another bottle of Nutri-Express if you have more!"
So today's second round of StarCraft competition started again, and no one saw the sharpness hidden in Lu Mingfei's eyes.
This handsome guy only lasted 10 minutes before he was defeated. He looked like a decent guy but turned out to be a useless person. He was defeated before he could even fight with a few moves and had to stand up and give up the position in disgrace.
The third boss sat down, smoking a cigarette and showing off his 2.58 million. This was Brother Diao, the StarCraft boss of this Internet cafe. He had never lost a single StarCraft match held in the Internet cafe.
Twenty minutes later, Brother Diao pushed the table away and knelt down, kowtowed deeply to Lu Mingfei, and almost rushed over to hug her thighs: "Lady, will you accept a disciple?"
"I'm sorry, I don't teach you, even if you pay me. " Lu Mingfei smiled and shook her head, looking at the crowd lightly, "Is there anyone next?"
The onlookers all shook their heads... It was a fantastic idea that they could do whatever they wanted. The boys were fearless and rushed forward one after another, but ended up getting beaten to a bloody pulp in front of the Princess' army.
Only then did they come to their senses and realize that Lu Mingfei had said that on purpose. What twenty dollar challenge? Wasn't it just a way of using them as bait to fight in the ring and make money?
But no one will leave even if they see through it. It's like Lu Zhishen's ears are callused from hearing him punch Zhen Guanxi. Today's play is called "Lin Daiyu Uprooting a Weeping Willow Tree". Are you interested?
Lu Mingfei is not as stunningly beautiful as Lin Daiyu, but in this Internet cafe, she is the only interstellar princess Lin Daiyu, who never gives up. Her eyes sparkling in front of the computer screen are full of invincibility.
