Chapter 100 Childhood Games

The dynamic world in memory is more lively than the farmers' market three streets away, especially at night, laughter, shouting, screaming, and crackling buttons, which disturb people even more than the howling of ghosts and wolves in KTV.

The dynamic world in front of you stands in the old place, silently. Compared with the adjacent ramen restaurants and Internet cafes, it looks old and dilapidated, as if it has passed a layer of gray filters in the gradient.

Li Ming hesitated, Yao Yi was amazed: "This place is really eye-catching. It's perfect for making horror thrillers. It uses Hitchcock-style mobile zoom, and is accompanied by music like "The Wind Blows" and "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village". I have thought of the name of the movie, and it's called "Death Arcade Hall". Well, a mysterious place to play games with life."

"What zoom? Do you still understand this?" Li Ming didn't understand at all, and just sighed, "It's only six years later, why has it changed so much?"

Yao Yi really wanted to say that this change is not big. Compared with the earth-shaking changes in the country over the past few decades, and compared with the world changes in the next decade, the decline of the arcade hall is just a drop in the ocean and has not attracted any attention.

However, Li Ming just said it casually, and there is no need to analyze or correct it for him. He has to find fault in everything from other people's words. That is not called erudite knowledge, but it is called sensible.

Yao Yi is not a gangster, so he echoed: "Yes, everything is changing. Six years have passed, and we both have changed from elementary school students to college students. Besides, there is an Internet cafe next to us."

Li Ming quickly adapted to the unexpected contrast, smiled and said, "Yes, after all, computer games are much more fun than arcades. If you open an Internet cafe next to you, the business in the arcade hall will definitely not be better."

"It's better to transform it into a horror house or a real-life escape room than to change it. The business will definitely be much better." Yao Yi glanced at the stairs behind the door and joked.

"Escape room?"

Li Ming's face was full of question marks. Today he heard too many strange words from Yao Yi's mouth. Escape room games were only promoted and popular in China between about 2012 and 2013. Li Ming, who was addicted to electronic games, had not heard of them yet.

"Have you watched "The Different Dimension Killing Array"? After the release of this movie, some foreign merchants created a live escape room, which is a situational experience game that "locks" customers, that is, players, in carefully designed rooms, lets them play roles in the theme, relying on reasoning and collaboration to find ways to escape the room. No one in China knows it now, and maybe it will become popular in the future."

When Li Ming heard this novel gameplay, he became interested and asked: "It sounds quite interesting! Where did you hear it?"

"What a friend told me." Yao Yi glanced at Li Ming and said to himself, "You may not believe it, you are the one who pulled me to escape the secret room!"

Before Li Ming asked again, Yao Yi changed the topic first: "So, are we still going in?"

Li Ming thought for a while and said, "Go! I've come here, go up and take a look."

Well, it's such a sufficient and irresistible reason.

Yao Yi nodded and followed Li Ming up the stairs. He sighed in his heart, "I've come here, just take a look. It's indeed a brainwashing curse!"

Going to the second floor, there is the dynamic world arcade hall with infinite scenery in the past. The area of ​​the second floor is much larger than the entrance on the first floor. There are more than 300 arcade machines in it. In addition to those coin-operated video game consoles that are not much younger than Yao Yi and Li Ming, there is also a row of brand new claw machines on the right side of the door.

It seems that the boss of the Dynamic World has tried to accept new things and wants to use a claw machine to attract a new generation of game consumers, but this obviously won't have any effect, because no one will be willing to grab dolls in the old arcade hall, and they have a better choice: video game city.

The boss of the dynamic world is as old and decadent as his arcade hall. He is thin and unshaven, with uncensored hair, and his uncensored hair is as scattered as a chicken coop, and his body exudes an inexplicable smell of rottenness.

After Yao Yi and Li Ming walked to the bar, he looked up and glanced at him, without putting down the pirated novel that was as thick as a dictionary in his hand.

"You..." Li Ming stared at him for a long time and asked in a slight silence, "Are you Boss Wen? Wen Jie?"

"What are you doing?" Boss Wen was very impatient.

Li Ming seemed to be feeling, but he stopped talking.

"No, it's okay, buy coins."

"Three for one dollar, buy twenty dollars and get ten for ten."

"It's still so cheap." Li Ming finally found some familiarity. He touched his body with both hands, and finally looked at Yao Yi with a little embarrassed look, "Do you have change?"

Yao Yi nodded and put twenty pieces on the bar. Boss Wen took an iron cup and pressed the banknotes. He opened the drawer and grabbed it casually. He grabbed a handful of tokens and poured them in. Then he grabbed three coins with his fingers and put them in the cup.

Li Ming took the cups and counted them one by one. After counting, Boss Chongwen gave a thumbs up and said loudly.

There are no more and no less in the cup, exactly seventy coins.

"I can't finish it, but I won't go back." Boss Wen waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to it.

Li Ming was not upset and pulled Yao Yi straight to his favorite battle of devouring the world II of the Red Cliff.

This was one of the most popular games of that year. After investing in tokens, Yao Yi knocked on the rocker and buttons randomly. After getting familiar with it, she chose her favorite character from that year: Zhao Yun.

Li Ming was struggling between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for a moment and chose Guan Yu, whose unique skill was to pounce on the tiger.

The game started very smoothly, with Zhao Yun holding the sword and Guan Yu bare hands. The two of them defeated Li Dian and Xiahou Dun one after another from the Battle of Bowangpo.

But Li Ming and Yao Yi are not considered experts in the arcade, and they haven't touched each other for so many years and are unfamiliar with the operation. In addition, the arcade button rocker has been disrepaired and fails from time to time, so the token consumption is very fast.

When they hit Xinye City, Xu Zhu's wheel collision and flying heavy pressure caused Yao Yi's first death.

When the Battle of Changbanpo was fought, Director Chunyu, who was killed by Zhao Yun in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", ruthlessly ravaged Zhao Yun, controlled by Yao Yi.

When he reached the Battle of Chibi, Li Ming didn't have time to joke about Yao Yi's rookie operation because he and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang died five times in a row.

Next was Lu Bu who used the Horse-Slaying Sword and the Long Whip. Lu Bu also brought three female assassins. The most tokens were consumed in this level. With Yao Yi, the oil bottle, Li Ming fought alone and was no match for Lu Bu at all.

Finally, the tokens were exhausted, and the two five tiger generals let out an unwilling roar and fell under Lu Bu's sword.

Li Ming stomped his feet and smiled helplessly, "Hey, I also said that I would use this to pass the level before I could hit the alloy warhead. I didn't expect that I didn't pass the level, haha."

"I'm too fucking, you can't take it." Yao Yi said the truth and asked, "Why should I buy some more tokens?"
