In fact, there is another place in Yi Xuan's heart, which is near his previous university. If he remembers correctly, there used to be an arcade hall in a small alley behind the school. When he first came to this city, he used to frequent it. At that time, I was just in my freshman year and didn’t have a computer. The only entertainment was the Internet cafe and the game hall. Since the game hall was close to the back door of the school, it was only a five-minute walk away, so he was always my first choice. I still remember that classmates called the game hall "White Room Game Hall". It was not the name given by the boss, but because it was an underground game hall, there was no sign. The only geographical feature was the whitewashed house.
After leaving school for two or three years, Yi Xuan is really not sure whether the arcade hall still exists, so he always regards this game hall as the bottom option, but according to the current situation, Yi Xuan feels that he will find it outside An arcade hall with traditional game consoles seems to be less likely to exist than a white room, so after thinking about it, I had to turn the front of the car and drove towards the east.
That’s right, Yi Xuan’s alma mater was in Dongcheng District. When he first arrived in this city, Xicheng District was not as developed as it is now built. Dongcheng District is the center of the economy, and his school should belong to the suburbs of Dongcheng District. Generally speaking, the location of universities is relatively remote because of the large area.
Yi Xuan opened for about an hour before he came to his former alma mater. The school and Yi Xuan's departure were not too different. The gate was repaired, and it looked more solemn than when he was there. There were students in twos and threes at the gate in a hurry. Walked by, holding a few books in his arms.
Yi Xuan bypassed the school and came to the back entrance, which was different from the front entrance. It seemed more rundown than it was a few years ago. When the car drove in, the road seemed narrower and filthy than I remembered.
"Hey, it's still there." Seeing the white house from a distance, Yi Xuan's heartbeat speeded up a bit. He didn't know if it was the excitement of finding the game hall or the sentimental revisiting the old place many years later.
Just outside the arcade hall of the White House, Yi Xuan was surprised to find that there was a sign in the game hall called "Rainbow Game Hall". The sign was not big and very simple, but it was a metal plate of unknown material with blue color on it. Written by colored paint.
Looking at the font, it is very likely that it is a masterpiece of the students of the art department of this school. If you look at the degree of discoloration on it, it should have been a few years old. A brand-new white paper was stuck on the signboard inconsistently, with the word on it bolded. Printed with two lines of words: This room is rented out and redeemed, phone number: **********
Damn, this is the rhythm of going to bed. Yi Xuan looked at the two lines and said it was not good, but since it was already here, he had to go in and see if he said anything. With the thought of in case, Yi Xuan still walked in.
I don't have the noisy sound that I remember, and the light in the room is very dim. It seems that the homeowner has never wanted to decorate it well, or the value of the decoration has been lost here.
The room was about a hundred square meters wide, unobstructed and unobstructed. Yi Xuan saw that most of the machines were turned off, only a few machines were turned on, emitting red or blue light, and one was standing in the front half. The player is operating nervously. The sound effects of each machine seem to be very small, and only the player can hear it clearly. Standing in the position of Yi Xuan sounds remote and depressing.
It is probably to save electricity, Yi Xuan thought, walked in and took a closer look at the machines against the wall. What surprised him was that he knew all the machines that were turned on, and they were all games he had played in his impression. It seems that the boss has never been updated, but these are exactly what he needs.
After turning around, Yi Xuan found that the people playing games in the house were counting with one hand, and the coin sellers were sitting listlessly behind the counter playing with their phones.
Huh, what is the style of this style that is popular among all coin sellers now? Yi Xuan felt amused for a while, and the little girl with smoky make-up and the coin-seller could not help appearing in his mind as if she ignored the answer.
"Boss, why doesn't the machine turn on?" Yi Xuan asked the boss with a slightly higher volume.
The man's eyes were still fixed on the computer, without raising his head, he replied loudly, "It costs electricity. The two money earned is not enough for the electricity bill. Tell me which one you want to play, and it says games. , You can tell if you are right." It really is an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Yi Xuan shook his head and looked at the game consoles. As expected, a piece of white paper was pasted next to each game console with the name of the game written on it. In fact, the name of the game can usually be seen from the game console. The boss may be afraid that some novices will play the game, and they are not sure about the game.
"Okay, let's open a King of Fighters first, and give me five yuan coins." Yi Xuan said and put the money on the counter.
The boss was still reluctant to look up from the phone. Even though the business came to the door, he still didn't even look at Yi Xuan. He touched the counter twice, grabbed the money, and then took out a small pile of coins from below and dumped it. On the counter.
Yi Xuan counted five, "One dollar for one coin? Isn't this too expensive?"
When I first came to play, it was three yuan per yuan. Although the price of goods has risen, it is too... It is no different from playing with coins.
"Hey, don't be too expensive." Hearing Yi Xuan's complaint, the boss finally raised his head, "If I want to play in two days, I can't play it anymore. It's not that I'm telling you. Our S city is like this. The old game hall is our family, and it’s going to be a yellow shop soon. You won’t be able to play anymore after two years. Anything will become valuable as soon as it becomes extinct. If I keep these machines here, they will be available for hundreds of years. It’s an antique, you can’t even look down on you when you line up to buy tickets."
Yi Xuan heard the boss say that the place of feelings is going to be a museum, and Yi Xuan smiled helplessly. He took the game coins and came to the front of an arcade machine of the King of Fighters.
The boss stopped talking, walked over to turn on the machine, and went back to his chair to look at the phone.
Yi Xuan waited for the machine to turn on, stuffed a coin into it, and put his hand on the joystick. Don’t say that although the game hall is worn out, the machine feels good to use, and I don’t know that the boss did it to the machine. The maintenance is better or there are fewer people playing and less wear and tear.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan's heart moved, because he had been accustomed to the mode of thinking of petty citizens, he always forgot that he was already a millionaire tyrant.
Looking at the joystick in my hand, and then at a large area of various game consoles around, Yi Xuanxin said why I have to get someone else to play in a store. If I buy all the machines here, wouldn't I be casual? Play.
Although it is close to the school, it is a back door after all, and the house is in disrepair for a long time. It is estimated that the rent is not much. The more I think about it, the more I think it is feasible. Yi Xuan has no interest in continuing to play. There are almost all the necessary games here.
"Oh, I said, didn't I let you look at it before opening it? What are you looking at everywhere?" The boss didn't know when he looked up from the phone and looked at Yi Xuan one by one, and he seemed a little unsatisfied.
Yi Xuan stopped but didn't take it seriously, and went straight to the front of the cash register: "Boss, are you cashing out in this store?"
The boss' eyes brightened when he heard it, and to be honest, the cash-out information newspaper was also posted and posted in the school, but except for the accident that he made a wrong phone call and thought it was a postgraduate study class, the real question about cash-out in the game hall was almost the same. zero.
He looked at Yi Xuan up and down, but the boss was a bit discouraged: "Yes." After speaking, his eyes opened again to look at the phone.
I thought there was finally a buyer, but looking at the suits and shoes worn by Yi Xuan, there was something like a master who could open a game hall.
"How much are you going to exchange?"
The boss seemed to be about to give up, and said impatiently: "Fifty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand?" Yi Xuan glanced back at the room. Although he has never done business, these broken machines are not worth fifty thousand. If that's the case, it's better to contact the manufacturer or something to buy two new ones. "Too expensive?" Yi Xuan muttered.
The boss became interested again when he heard what Yi Xuan said. Since he is bargaining with himself, it doesn't seem to be a joke: "Young man, what are you going to do with the store?"
"What else can you do with the store? Of course it's a game hall." Yi Xuan didn't say that he wanted to play by himself. After all, it sounded too strange.
"Yeah? Then I'll show you." The boss suddenly ignited hope, and he immediately walked out from behind the counter and introduced the situation as he walked. In fact, Yi Xuan is no stranger to this game hall. The location of the kitchen and bathroom are well known. , I watched the machine just now, so there is nothing to look at, but this is also a fixed process, and it follows the boss's house and out of the house.
"The rent is due in three months. The rent for a year is 25,000. Such a large store is not expensive. The university is in front of it, and many students come to play, especially on holidays. Sometimes it’s not busy at all. Open, if you redeem it, you have to hire a waiter no matter what." The shop that was dying just now became a hot item in the owner's mouth.
Yi Xuanxin said that you are fooling a ghost. It's not that you haven't studied here. On holidays, who stays at school usually go home. Only some students from other places stay in school, but most of them are playing computers. , Someone will come to you to play arcade? Although he was funny in his heart, he was too lazy to talk.
"Okay, boss, let's talk about the price." Yi Xuan interrupted his talk.
"Um, it's 50,000 for others. If you want it sincerely, forty-five, three months' rent is included." The boss looked generous.
"Then you'd better be against others." Yi Xuan turned around and walked out after hearing this.
