"What's wrong with Xiaofeng? She looks so miserable. Did a tomboy take away her virginity?" Seeing Lin Feng coming back early in a listless manner, big brother Xu Biao asked with concern, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Brother Biao, stop making a fuss. I just quit because I was unhappy with my job. It has nothing to do with the female man." Lin Feng said it lightly, but he always felt sour in his heart. It was not that he resigned on his own initiative, but that he was fired by others.
Life is already so difficult, so some things should not be exposed anymore. He hopes Brother Biao can understand his feelings at the moment.
Lin Feng is a freshman who has just been enrolled for three months at a prestigious private university.
When he applied for the university, he only noticed that the university's major was very consistent with his wishes, and that it had a strong faculty and had trained many outstanding talents in this field. However, he overlooked an extremely important point, which was that the tuition fees of private universities were expensive and not affordable for ordinary families.
But Lin Feng's parents fully support him. They don't want to embarrass their child because of the tuition fee. Even if he attends a private university, they will do everything they can to support him to graduate. It's pitiful that parents love each other. Lin Feng can only study hard and achieve academic success in the future to be worthy of his parents' kindness.
In order to reduce the burden on his family, Lin Feng took a job as a waiter in a restaurant outside the school, becoming the only student who worked and studied in this private university.
Who would have thought that after working diligently and uncomplainingly in the hotel for more than two months, he was ruthlessly fired by the lobby manager because he messed up the store's competitive challenge event...
Lin Feng remembered that he was serving dishes when he was inexplicably selected as a contestant to compete with the guests.
This is also the characteristic of this competitive challenge. Guests who participate in the challenge will randomly challenge anyone working in the hotel. That person may be the manager, the chef, or a waiter like Lin Feng. In short, no matter who is selected, they must put down their work and compete with the guests.
As the saying goes, customers are God. Even if you are so busy, you must play happily with customers when they choose you. Lin Feng had no reason to refuse. He put on the game helmet and randomly chose a mage profession to start the battle.
Since he hadn't played games for many years, Lin Feng still seemed a little unfamiliar with the operations. He could only rely on movement to try his best to avoid the attacks launched by the opponent, and to explore and understand the chosen mage profession in battle.
By the time Lin Feng had roughly grasped the key points of this profession and understood the skill routines of this profession, he had been beaten by his opponent and was left with less than a quarter of his health.
This means that if the opponent's ranger gives him one more skill, or two or three normal attacks, he will fall to the ground and die, losing the competitive challenge.
But even at this moment when his life was hanging by a thread, Lin Feng did not get nervous and panic like ordinary people, or make some dying struggle or just give up.
Instead, he came up with a plan and took advantage of the previous decline to use a tactic of playing hard to get.
Taking advantage of the opponent's eagerness to win, he easily found an opportunity to counterattack and unleashed a whole set of skills on the opponent without reservation, winning the competitive challenge in a dramatic and unexpected way.
Before this, everyone in the restaurant thought that it was impossible for a waiter who just served dishes to defeat the guest at table 8 who was participating in the competitive challenge.
You have to know that the people sitting at that table are all the main members of a well-known team in the city. Logically, the result should be like an eagle catching chickens, with no suspense.
But who could have thought it would be so unexpected, Lin Feng actually used his somewhat unfamiliar skills to counterattack the main members of the team and won this challenge match with seemingly a huge gap in strength.
This team member wanted to bully the newbies before dinner, to make himself feel more present, and to whet his appetite with a victory that was not in doubt. But he never expected to be defeated in the gutter, and was beaten speechless by a waiter's skill. The whole audience was in an uproar, and coupled with the ridicule of his teammates at the same table, he naturally felt a little embarrassed.
So this team member decisively chose the innocent Lin Feng as his punching bag, and brought out many charges of not following the rules, being cunning and deceitful, and scheming and calculating, and pinned them on Lin Feng. There were also some insults in his words, and it was obvious that he was angry out of shame.
The guests dining in the restaurant also watched the competition through the screen. When they saw that team member was still making unreasonable arguments after losing, the whole audience immediately booed.
Now the team member felt even more embarrassed, and he suppressed his anger and called the lobby manager.
Regardless of the era, the rich and powerful are the masters, and the lobby manager was unwilling to offend this old customer with platinum membership for a waiter. Naturally, Lin Feng had to take the blame, and only in this way could he calm down. As a result, Lin Feng was told on the spot that he had to pack up and leave.
It was for this reason that Lin Feng returned to the dormitory early, and was discovered to have problems by the dormitory's eldest brother Xu Biao.
"With your good temper, you would probably be able to laugh even if your girlfriend was stolen. What kind of unpleasant thing could make you quit your job? Are you being bullied?" Xu Biao asked.
Lin Feng just shook his head and said nothing. If you lose your job, you can find another one, but I'm afraid no one can compare to how depressed you are when you lose it. Lin Feng doesn't want to pass on his bad mood to his roommate. He will get better after digesting it slowly.
"He can even do something like bullying you which doesn't give him any sense of accomplishment. This person is so fucking heartless. Brother Biao will lead the army in person to vent your anger!" Xu Biao put his arm around Lin Feng's shoulders, and said something that made Lin Feng feel both amused and helpless.
"I wasn't bullied. I just clumsily spilled soup on a customer's leather shoes, and the lobby manager advised me to find a job and not come here anymore." Lin Feng quickly found an excuse to explain. He didn't want Big Brother to come in person. With his explosive temper, if he went there, it would definitely cause a turmoil and affect social harmony.
"Xiao Feng, losing your job is not a big deal. If you can't work out, just play online games with your brothers. If you can do it well, you can make more money than working. You don't have to care about the face of that crappy manager." Zhou Xizhi said softly on the side.
"I still have to find a part-time job, so I don't have time to play online games..." Lin Feng was speechless and could only politely reject his roommate's game invitation once again.
It’s not that Lin Feng really doesn’t have time, but that he doesn’t have the basic conditions to play online games.
Nowadays, smart online games require a gaming helmet to run, and gaming helmets are very expensive. Lin Feng is worried about the tuition fees and is trying to make money to reduce the burden on his family. How can he save extra money to buy a gaming helmet? A player without a gaming helmet is like a soldier without a weapon. Everything is out of the question.
"When playing online games, you are in a semi-sleeping state. You can play them while sleeping at night. I see you have time!" Xu Biao said.
As he spoke, he took out a brand new gaming helmet from the cabinet and handed it to Lin Feng: "From now on, play online games with us brothers. Otherwise, it would be a pity to leave your gaming talent there unused."
"This...what does this mean?" Lin Feng didn't react for a moment.
"This is a token of our goodwill. Brother Biao asked you to take it, so don't be so pretentious. If we get beaten up by others in the game next time, it means that your arrival in time to pay our respects will not be in vain." Zhou Xizhi said with a wry smile.
Lin Feng nodded without saying anything, but a surge of emotion surged in his heart.
I have only been with my roommates for more than three months, but I didn't expect that they would be willing to give me an expensive gaming helmet. People need to be grateful, and I will never forget this friendship.
At the same time, he also heard the hidden meaning in Zhou Xizhi's words, and asked with some doubt: "Aren't you in a big guild founded by Senior Sister? How dare someone beat you up?"
Xu Biao lit another cigarette, unable to hide his suppressed emotions any longer: "It seems that we are not having a good day today. I can't tell you how angry I am. It's a fucked up day. But luckily, we have prepared a gaming helmet for you this time. You should quickly enter the game and catch up with your level so that you can support us brothers."
Lin Feng was in a bad mood because he had just lost his job. At first, he really didn't pay much attention to the unusual things in the dormitory, but now he found that several roommates were a little out of character. In the past, the three roommates wore gaming helmets and played online games in various comfortable positions while lying on the bed. But today, Brother Biao smoked a cigarette, Xi Zhi also had a bitter expression, and the playboy Sun Li was nowhere to be found.
"The three of them were playing an online game, and there was no server downtime for maintenance. This means there was no problem with the game, but with them. Could it be that...these guys quit the game to avoid the spotlight? They couldn't have been bullied to this extent, right?" Lin Feng couldn't figure it out.
"Brother Biao, why didn't you play games today? Where did Sun Li go?" Finally, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.
"Sun Li likes to take a shower whenever he's depressed. He's taking a shower in the bathroom. It's been about half an hour. He'll probably be out soon." Xu Biao didn't say anything, but Zhou Xizhi deliberately avoided the main point and pointed to the bathroom in the dormitory and chose the second question to answer Lin Feng.
Lin Feng understood. It seemed that these brothers were even more depressed than he was today. Even the eldest brother Xu Biao seemed to be avoiding something deliberately, as he was so straightforward. They must have suffered a lot of setbacks and blows in the game. Maybe they were afraid that he would carry this heavy burden as soon as he entered the game, so they kept avoiding him and were unwilling to tell him the truth.
It was true that everyone wanted to pull friends into the game to boost their success when they were doing well. No one wanted to pull friends into the game to suffer together when they were stuck in the mud and in the dark. Lin Feng knew that it was better not to tear people apart when they were in trouble, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Wash your sister Baibai, I'm just taking a shower, changing clothes, dusting off the dust and putting on new cloth. I have to get rid of the bad luck on my body. I can't keep letting others bully me like this." At this time, Sun Li had just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom, took over the conversation.
Sun Li has the appearance of a handsome young man and the body of a fitness coach, with all the necessary chest and abdominal muscles. In addition, his handsome face is enough to make thousands of girls unable to extricate themselves from him. He is definitely suitable to be an actor and model.
His biggest hobbies in life are fitness and picking up girls. When he first came to school, there were girls all around him. Later, he played online games with Xu Biao and others, and girls kept appearing in the game. At this time, he appeared in front of everyone with a bath towel and bare upper body. Not to mention the beautiful girls, even the three grown men felt a sparkle in front of their eyes.
"Sun Li, hurry up and put on your clothes. Don't act like the leading actor in some idol drama. You'll be in trouble if you get caught by some gay pervert!" Xu Biao felt that Sun Li was indeed dazzling, so he quickly spoke up to remind him.
"Oh, I am so handsome, but helpless and sad. I really envy you for meeting someone as handsome as me at such a young age." Sun Li shook his head and sighed in a rather conceited manner.
Everyone was speechless and could only stare at each other, and finally, they reluctantly accepted this unfair fact.
Zhou Xizhi looked at Sun Li, then looked at himself in the mirror with melancholy eyes. After fixing his hair, he said in a low voice, "You know what, I think I've become more handsome recently."
Xu Biao lifted Zhou Xizhi up with his elbow, looked at him with admiration and said, "I really admire people like you. You are so cruel that you even deceived yourself!"
Although the three of them chatted heartlessly, Lin Feng could still see that they were all feeling depressed. (To be continued)
