Liufang No. 1 Middle School, Class 3 (Grade 3), it is time for morning self-study.

When Lu Menglin appeared at the door of the classroom, the students in the class stopped reading one after another, as if they had seen some strange animal.

Lu Menglin sat down in his seat amidst the eyes of mixed emotions.

"Have you heard? Lu Menglin's grandmother is seriously ill, and his family is raising money!"

"It's spread in the factory that his father borrowed money from the factory. I heard it's still far from enough!"

"Alas! His grades have finally caught up, and at this critical moment of his senior year, it will definitely be affected!"

As soon as the morning self-study ended, the students in the class gathered around Lu Menglin to greet him. Even the classmates who were not usually close to him took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Give way, give way!" Wang Shaoxiao, who was in the back row, dragged a sack and walked up to Lu Menglin.

"Menglin, this is a little thought from brothers. You can accept it first!" Wang Shaoxiao said and handed over the sack in his hand.

Lu Menglin was slightly startled, took the sack and weighed it, it turned out to be quite heavy.

When I opened the bag, I saw half a bag of banknotes, ranging from hundred dollar bills to fifty cents, and a large number of steel pennies. I don’t know who had smashed all the piggy banks at home.

"You actually don't have to do this!" Lu Menglin was also a little moved, shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

Wang Shaoxiao grinned and said: "Keep it for now. Fatty and the others will come later and there will be more!"

"What have you been doing recently?" Lu Menglin finally realized something was wrong and asked quickly.

Wang Shaoxiao shouted triumphantly: "Of course I will raise money for you! Recently we collect protection fees everywhere, and most people pay them consciously, but only a few unconsciously, cut him off!"

As Wang Shaoxiao spoke, he also made fierce gestures, which made Lu Menglin so angry that he wanted to slap him on the fat face.

"I don't want this money, I'll give it all back! You call Fatty and the others and wait for me on the playground!" Lu Menglin said helplessly.

Unexpectedly, before I said anything, these brothers were already busy meeting on their own. There was really nothing I could do!

Although Lu Menglin felt warm in his heart, he had to keep a straight face and deal with this matter first.

After a while, Pang Dun, Feng Nan, and a large group of brothers all gathered on the playground. So many people didn't attend class that the teacher was frightened and thought there was going to be another fight.

Lu Menglin held the sack containing the money in his hand, gave Fat Dun a hard look, and then asked Feng Nan, "Have all the money you collected been accounted for?"

Asking Pang Dun about this kind of thing will give you absolutely no answer. Only Feng Nan is still half-sane.

Feng Nan smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, I will remember who donated how much!"

"Refund all the money and thank everyone for your kindness." Lu Menglin shook his head.

all

Everyone looked at him blankly, as if they didn't understand.

Fatty squatted on the ground with squinted eyes, unable to tell what he was really thinking.

Feng Nan thought for a while and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, we are very sensible. If your family is in need of money, just use it first. It's okay."

Lu Menglin shook his head and said: "I know everyone is doing it for my own good! I appreciate this, but I still give the money back because I really don't need it!"

After saying that, Lu Menglin waved his hand and said: "If you don't believe it, come with me!"

Everyone didn't understand why, and all of them yelled and immediately followed Lu Menglin.

Lu Menglin led a large group of people and went straight to the canteen at the school gate.

This battle was so frightening that Lao Wang in the canteen trembled in his calves, thinking that these guys were going to rob his shop!

"Old Wang, let me use the long-distance call." Lu Menglin smiled.

Lao Wang nodded quickly, forget about calling him, even if you don’t pay him, that’s fine!

In front of all the brothers, Lu Menglin pulled out a phone number that he knew by heart.

"Hello! Is Jiang Jinghong here? I'm Lu Menglin." The young man said into the phone with a rare blush on his old face.

"Lu Menglin? What day is it today? You actually called me? You dialed the wrong number! Today is not my birthday!" Jiang Jinghong's sweet voice came from the phone.

"I have something to ask you for help." Lu Menglin said seriously.

"Ask me for help? Tell me! What do you want to do?" Jiang Jinghong seemed to enjoy this unexpected surprise, and his voice was full of the joy of conquest.

"I want to go to the EVO competition, can you help me get in touch?" Lu Menglin said firmly.

"What? Say it again? I just didn't hear you clearly! You said you want to play EVO? Oh my god! That's great! Where are you? Are you still in Liufang? Give me your ID number and I will book a flight for you! Let's

Interview!" Jiang Jinghong was extremely excited on the phone. This was the second surprise she received early in the morning.

"Okay! The ID card will be sent to you shortly. See you later!" Lu Menglin smiled slightly and hung up the phone.

The brothers crowded in the canteen all pricked up their ears and listened clearly. Lu Menglin said that he was going to compete in the EVO competition. Although everyone didn't know what this O competition was, they guessed that this was Lu Menglin's way of making money.

.

"Awesome! You are indeed my brother Menglin. You can eat soft food so confidently and bring so many people to visit. You are really my idol!" Wang Shaoxiao was the first to come to his senses, with a face full of envy.

Praise.

"You're such a softie! I can't eat soft food based on my ability!" Lu Menglin was defeated by the fat man's weird logic and said helplessly.

"What kind of thing is that OVE competition? I've never heard that you can fight very well! If you want to fight, it's almost as good as a fat guy coming on stage to fight, and you still say that you are not a freeloader!" Wang Shaoxiao shook his head.

He shook his head and said.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Lu Menglin was speechless and didn't want to talk to this fat man anymore.

At this time, someone leaning against the entrance to the canteen spoke.

"The EVO competition is a world fighting game competition. Brother Lu, are you going to compete in the King of Fighters event?" The person who spoke was the child Zhou Zhuojun. His eyes were shining, and he seemed to be very interested in this competition.

"Well, yes! Jiang Jinghong invited me before, but I refused! Now I want to give it a try." Lu Menglin said with a smile.

It’s not easy! I finally met someone who knows the ropes! Could this kid really be the legendary kid from later generations? Otherwise, why would he be interested in the EVO competition?

"Will you win a lot of money if you win that game?" the child asked with bright eyes.

"Uh... there must be a bonus, but I don't know how much it is specifically." Lu Menglin was stunned for a moment and replied casually.

In his memory, the EVO competition did have prize money, but the prize money for the 1998 competition was not too high. Maybe it was sponsored by a game company like SNK.

Lu Menglin’s intention was not the prize money from the EVO competition, but another purpose.

He thought about it all night last night and finally came up with a very feasible idea. He just needed Jiang Jinghong to come forward and help him a little. In order to get money to treat his grandmother, he revitalized the magazine and was regarded as a softie.

He didn’t hesitate to eat.

"I'm going abroad to play this game, so I probably need to take a long vacation. During my absence, please help me take care of my mother and the business of the store." Lu Menglin said sincerely.

The boys in the canteen agreed with a bang, and the slight discomfort they felt just now disappeared immediately.

"Have you heard? Lu Menglin is going abroad to play in a competition!"

"Playing a game? What kind of game is he playing? Is he playing Qigong?"

"King of Fighters 97 is an arcade game, the most popular one in China right now."

"Are you crazy? Why don't you go to school and go to play games? Do you want to go abroad to play?"

The entire grade was discussing this matter, and Lu Menglin became the talk of the school again without exception.

"Brother Lu is so handsome! He's very human! He's my idol!" Gamer Xiao Siyan shouted in class confidently.

"I heard that he made this decision to treat my grandma! In fact, he is quite good!" This is what the girl in the class said quietly, wiping her tears.

"Can he win? The wish is very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny! There are so many people playing games in the world, why does he think that he will definitely win the championship?" There are also many realistic people among high school students, and they can't help but say

questioned.
