After hanging up the phone, Su Zelin immediately rode his bike to his good friend's house.
When Lu Haoran told the honest man his cell phone number, he was a little surprised: "Zelin, you bought a new cell phone, how much is it?"
"It's not expensive, just over 3,000!"
Su Zelin said lightly, with an invisible sense of coolness arising spontaneously.
"More than three thousand is not expensive!"
The little cutie wiped his sweat and thought it was great to be rich.
"Was this purchased with that bonus money?"
"No, I bought it with the money I earned from the bonus. Didn't I tell you, I'm rich!"
What Su Zelin said was true, as soon as he got the bonus from the Education Bureau, he invested it in Shenghai Meilin, and in ten days it was enough to earn this Nuo Chicken and Duck 8210.
But the little cutie didn't believe it.
You can just brag, it's only been a short time since you got the 5,000 yuan bonus, how can you lay golden eggs
"Can I have a look?"
Lu Haoran asked tentatively.
"Of course you can. Don't even think about taking a look. Just play with it. It's not a treasure!"
Su Zelin took it out of his pocket and stuffed it directly into his hand.
Lu Haoran hurriedly caught it carefully, fearing that it would fall to the ground.
The honest man couldn't put it down and played with it for a while, saying enviously: "Zelin, your phone is so beautiful!"
"What's so good about it? It's just like a brick!"
Su Zelin spoke with disdain.
He actually despised it, but now that he had money he had no choice.
"Haozi, please write down my number, 139＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊. If you have any problems in the future, just call me directly on my cell phone!"
"OK!"
Lu Haoran hurriedly repeated the number in his mind several times. The number was easy to remember: 139 plus the area code, and then two consecutive numbers at the end. He memorized it after a while.
But he was afraid of forgetting, so he took out a piece of paper as a backup.
Then the two of them went online.
Su Zelin invested the remaining money in his passbook into another stock.
This stock is not a magic stock like Shenghai Meilin. There cannot be a dark horse every day, but its returns are okay and relatively stable. It is a good choice for both short-term and long-term holding.
Every little bit counts, and the interest on it is much higher than losing a bank card. The smart Su Zelin will definitely not waste it.
If you need startup capital after going to college, you can just throw it out at any time.
…
I surfed the Internet in the Internet cafe until noon and had lunch with Lu Haoran.
The friend went home, but Su Zelin hadn’t had enough fun yet, so he turned around and ran back to the arcade.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw an elementary school student playing King of Fighters 97.
This is one of the most popular fighting games in arcades. Almost every King of Fighters machine is packed, especially 97, which has been popular for a long time. A group of top masters who are good at playing it in this era even made a lot of money on Douyu Live in later generations.
Lao K, Huihui, He Laoer, Yudi, Yefen in the sky...
Su Zelin has always been an arcade master. Before his rebirth, he occasionally played on a certain fish. His rank was quite high. Occasionally, he would meet professional big anchors and win a few games.
It doesn’t matter if there are no empty machines, you can PK with King of Fighters and lose.
After buying the coins, Su Zelin sat down next to the elementary school student's auxiliary operating lever and stuffed a coin into it.
The pupil glanced at him with a look of disdain on his face, for he was an expert in this art.
But two minutes later he was dumbfounded, and Su Zelin knocked down his three characters with Iori Yagami alone.
This guy is good at almost everything except studying. There is no arcade game he can't play, especially King of Fighters. Looking at all the arcade halls in the city, he can beat anyone who is his opponent.
The beaten elementary school student refused to accept the defeat and threw another coin to save his face, but he was still defeated by Iori Yagami who took the lead.
After losing two coins in a row without any suspense, the elementary school student finally realized that he had met an expert among experts and that they were not at the same level.
"Just wait, I'll call my brother over!"
The pupil made some harsh remarks.
Su Zelin was amused by him.
Wow, boy, you are so brave that you dare to call for help!
The little thugs in the arcade have to avoid me when they see me!
After a while, the elementary school student called his older brother over.
Su Zelin almost laughed out loud.
I thought he was some "big brother" in the underworld, but it turned out to be a fat elementary school student, maybe just a little older than him.
The fat boy went up and put in the coins without saying a word, intending to avenge his "little brother"!
But after a few rounds, he was beaten so badly that he began to question his life.
The coins in his pocket were all used up, and the fat boy couldn’t beat the first character.
The two elementary school students gritted their teeth, pooled the money in their pockets to buy the last coin, and even chose Terry to use infinite combos. This kind of rogue move could easily trigger a real-life PK in the arcade. Of course, Su Zelin would definitely not bother with them.
It was still useless. Maybe it was because of too much psychological pressure or lack of skills. The infinite combo in the first Biteri failed. Fortunately, he successfully killed 90% of the health of Iori Yagami, who was led by Su Zelin.
Just when the fat guy thought that he would definitely be able to take down the opponent's first character, the second character was hit by Yagami's Xiefeng at the beginning.
Ghost step, close to C, scumbag style, ghost step, close to C, scumbag style...
Yasha used an infinite combo and directly killed him. The fat man’s second character, Kyo Kusanagi, became Kyo who increased his health.
An old King of Fighters player who knew Su Zelin looked at the fat boy with sympathy.
Hunzi is the founder of infinite combos in this arcade. He can do everything, including Terry's infinite combo, BOSS Orochi's infinite kicks, Yasha's infinite dust wind, and Yamazaki Ryuji's infinite sand kicks.
You little fat boy are asking for humiliation by playing infinite combos with the grandmaster!
The third character of "Big Brother", Robert, was also caught by Yasha's forward rush and Xiaoying's jump to trick the defense not long after the start. He still used an infinite combination of ghost steps, and finally ended with a forward A + special move of Yasha Girl with a black light, which made the little fat man numb.
"Wow!"
The eldest brother burst into tears.
He had never been humiliated like this in an arcade.
"I'm so annoyed with you little brat, get out of here!"
Su Zelin put a five-dollar bill in front of the fat man.
"What the hell are you doing playing arcade games with, elementary school kids? If I see you in the arcade again, I'll beat you to death!"
The fat boy didn't have time to cry anymore. He quickly picked up the five dollars, grabbed his little brother and ran away.
It is not known whether they will go to the arcade again in the future, but they certainly won’t dare to do so in the short term, because both elementary school students were traumatized by the abuse.
Continuing to play King of Fighters, Su Zelin occupied the machine. No one dared to challenge him for a PK. Instead, a few players came to watch from behind. They were also King of Fighters fans and were impressed by the superb operation of the player.
I played King of Fighters 97 for a few coins, but got a bit bored, so I started playing Dino Fighter, Electric Spirit, and Journey to the West: The Evil Slayer, all of which I completed with just one coin.
By the evening, there were still a few coins left to play with, so I just refunded them.
When he got home, he couldn't avoid being nagged by his mother as soon as he entered the door. It was nothing more than asking why he didn't come home all day or whether he died outside. Anyway, Su Zelin was used to it and responded with a smile. It would be abnormal if his mother didn't nag him.
"Dad, Mom, I bought you a cell phone so you can keep in touch with me when you go to college!"
Su Zelin took out the Nokia 8210 and of course he had to give the phone number to his family.
In fact, Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia had long planned to buy a mobile phone for their son before he went to college, but they didn't expect that Su Zelin was so lucky. First, he won 40,000 yuan in the lottery, and then he used the money to invest in hot stocks and made more than 100,000 yuan. He even won 5,000 yuan in the college entrance examination.
Since their son was no longer short of money, the two elders canceled their previous plans. Su Zelin would buy it himself anyway.
"Wow, this Nokia is pretty nice, son, how much is it?"
Su Jianjun asked casually.
"Two thousand five!"
Su Zelin falsely reported military intelligence.
"It's so expensive. Why would you, a college student, buy such an expensive phone? Your dad's phone is only over 2,000 yuan!"
As expected, Zhao Lixia felt distressed.
Su Zelin thought to himself that it was a good thing he reported less, otherwise his mother would have reacted even more severely.
"It's OK. This phone is a new model and much better looking than mine. As long as the child likes it, that's fine!"
Dad Su is quite open-minded. His concept is different from his wife's. He believes that money is earned to be spent, and there is no point in always saving it.
"You, like father, like son. I'm afraid he will ruin the family business in the future!"
Zhao Lixia was a little unhappy when she saw that her husband was not standing on her side.
Su Zelin chuckled: "Mom, don't worry, I can earn more back no matter how much I lose. There is an old saying in ancient times: 'A man who doesn't spend money is not a good man who can make money!'"
"The ancients never said that, little brat. Don't think I don't know because I'm not well-educated. The ancients only advocated diligence and thrift, which is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation!"
…
The days go by.
In the evening.
"Mom and Dad, I'm getting fat!"
Su Zelin shouted as he entered the room.
After the house arrest order was lifted, the slacker was like a bird out of a cage, letting himself go, leaving early and returning late, and he almost got home at this time every day.
Zhao Lixia felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have said it so decisively.
Not only was his son having fun, but he had hardly seen Qin Shiqing in these days.
Fortunately, the two of them still lived in Lin'an after college, and they went to school and went home together, which gave Zhao Lixia some comfort.
"You just play around all day long, and you haven't even started college yet. By the time you get there, I'm afraid you'll be too tired to play around!"
Zhao Lixia came out of the kitchen and gave a lecture with a stern face.
Su Zelin didn't take it seriously: "Didn't Comrade Mao Zedong say that if you want to study, you should study hard, and if you want to play, you should play to your heart's content!"
"Don't always give me those pretentious things!" Zhao Lixia snorted coldly: "I only see you having fun, but I never see you studying hard!"
"Ms. Zhao, what you said is wrong. You should know that the person standing in front of you is Su Zhuangyuan..."
Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the forehead by a loud thump.
"Su Zhuangyuan, you are so proud of yourself, how dare you talk back to me like that!"
Su Zelin kept saying the title of "top scholar" all day long as if it were a golden ticket to get out of jail free.
At first, Zhao Lixia gave him some face, but gradually she couldn't tolerate it anymore.
Although it's true that he got the top score in a single subject, we can't let him boast about this title for the rest of his life!
Seeing that Su Zelin was nominated for the top spot again, Su's mother got angry and took the opportunity to vent her anger about not being able to discipline her son.
"Mom, mother, please stop hitting me. I am your Ze'er, your biological Ze'er!"
Su Zelin ran away with his head in his hands, crying for his parents.
After chasing for a long time, Zhao Lixia finally stopped.
"What a bullshit number one scholar! The emperor still has to be under the control of the empress dowager, you little bastard, I'll teach you how to act in front of me!"
Su Jianjun smiled and thought to himself, "son, you are too naive. The validity period of the halo of the top scholar has expired. If you use it indiscriminately in the future, it will only have the opposite effect."
"Zerlin, your mother is right!"
Father Su had to express his attitude now, otherwise his wife would definitely scold him for being too indulgent to her son: "Don't just play around all day, you will have to report to the Finance College soon. It's not enough to just go to college, you still have to get your diploma!"
Su Zelin thought about it and it was true. The leisurely time passed quickly. The summer vacation was about to end, and he would soon have to pack his bags and set off for Lin'an.
"You and Shiqing's reporting time is about the same, so you can go together and have someone to accompany you on the journey!"
Su Jianjun made suggestions.
"What do you mean almost? Qin Shiqing and I reported in three days apart!"
Su Zelin protested.
The School of Finance is the second batch of undergraduate students, so the admission time is relatively late and the registration is also later.
Zhejiang University's is August 31st, while the School of Finance's is September 3rd.
"Let her go first. I don't want to go so early!"
Upon learning that Qin Shiqing did not go to Peking University but was admitted to Zhejiang University, Su Zelin changed his strategic approach towards his childhood sweetheart and tried to keep a safe distance, especially when they were alone.
These days I go out early and come back late, not only because I love to play, but also because of this reason.
It would be fine if we went to Lin'an with Qin Shiqing and other friends, but the reporting time for Xiaokeai and Xiaoyanzi is around September 10th, so it is impossible for us to go there so early.
So Hunzi had no plan to travel with Qin Shiqing.
"no!"
The two elders spoke in unison, as if they had discussed it long ago.
Well, Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia did discuss this matter.
Their son was really too slow, and was slow to realize things. He didn't care about Qin Shiqing at all, and spent all day surfing the Internet, or would rather play with Lu Haoran than pay attention to the girl next door. The two elders saw it and were very worried. If they hadn't found a few educational films under his bed during the general cleaning, they would have suspected that their son had abnormal tendencies.
So the two elders decided to create opportunities for their two children.
This time when reporting to Lin'an, Su Zelin can act as the flower protector.
"You'll just be playing at home all day, why not go to Lin'an earlier?"
“I can get familiar with the school environment earlier and integrate into the new life as soon as possible!”
Both elders had very good reasons.
"But it's not my registration time yet, where will I stay then?"
Su Zelin became anxious.
"I heard that many college freshmen can arrive at school a few days early!"
Su Jianjun said slowly.
"What if I can't arrive three days early?"
Su Zelin raised a question.
"Then you can go to a hotel near the school gate first!"
Zhao Lixia finished off the attack.
Su Zelin was about to vomit blood.
Are they your biological children
Or was it delivered with a landline
"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Su, you actually let a weak boy live alone in a hotel. Is this safe? As parents, don't you have any sense of safety? Don't you feel guilty?"
Su Zelin condemned the two elders' immoral behavior with righteous indignation.
"Weak boy, haha!"
Zhao Lixia was so angry that she laughed: "If you don't bully others, others will be thankful!"
"Dad, Mom, I can't bear to leave you. I wish I could stay with you for even a minute. How can I report in early?"
When Su Zelin's plan failed, he immediately thought of a new excuse, trying to move his parents with family affection.
"You can't bear to leave us, and don't want to leave for even a minute? You went online early in the morning and didn't come back until dinner, but I didn't see you reluctant to leave!"
Zhao Lixia ruthlessly exposed it.
"Uh, this..."
Su Zelin was speechless.
"Shi Qing is a weak girl who needs protection. With you by her side to take care of her, Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu will be relieved. So you must report in early for this trip. It's settled happily!"
Su Jianjun made the decision immediately.
The public security in 2000 was not as good as in later generations. Although Lin'an, as the provincial capital, was not too chaotic, it was Qin Shiqing's first time traveling far away, and she was a beautiful girl. If she was left alone, the adults of both families would be worried.
It’s different if Su Zelin is a bodyguard. Everyone would stay away from his son’s ruffian look.
The bastard was helpless.
It seems that Mom and Dad have made up their minds.
There is really no way to escape this time.
But I can call other classmates, so it won’t be just Qin Shiqing and I on the road.
There were many people in the class who were admitted to Lin'an University. Although their relationship with the gangsters was average, as long as Su Zelin took the initiative to speak up and said that Qin Shiqing would go with him, I think no one would refuse.
As Su Zelin's eyes rolled around, Su Jianjun took out two train tickets and put them on the table, smiling and saying, "I've already bought the tickets for you and Shiqing!"
Su Zelin inherited Su Jianjun's intelligence. Needless to say, Su's father is very wise and can always consider all aspects of a matter.
It would be foolish to let other classmates disturb your son and his childhood sweetheart from traveling together!
So he bought the ticket directly.
Even if Su Zelin makes an appointment with other people to depart on the same day, they may not be in the same train carriage, or their seats may be far apart, so the chance of accidentally buying the light bulb seat is quite low.
The last route of retreat was also ruthlessly cut off.
Su Zelin was speechless.
Dad, you are so thoughtful!
