My short game novel Bathing in Fire

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are usually five empty machines in a corner of the Dingdian Internet Cafe. People who come often know that that is where the Phoenix Team is.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I would bring three classmates from my dormitory here together, and together with the Internet cafe owner, my high school classmate Mei Qing, to meet the challenges of other people who don¡¯t know the heights of the world.

    Others who come to play "Counter-Strike" have never beaten us, but when playing with a few girls, who cares about winning or losing?  Similarly, no matter how good the business of Internet cafes is, people would rather queue up than consciously occupy those machines.

    But today seems to be a little rough. Three of the people competing against us have never been here before. According to Mei Qing, they are not members here either.

    The map is Dust, 5VS5, friendly fire is on, bomb time is 30 seconds, T points system is adopted, Phoenix team is CT first.

    In fact, the so-called Phoenix Team has never participated in any competition. Simply put, it has never played outside this Internet cafe. We just connected to the LAN in this Internet cafe.  After all, other people spend less time playing together and cannot compare to our tacit understanding.

    However, this time my opponent¡¯s marksmanship was very good. After the two gangsters bought AK47 in the third game, they never used other guns, and they actually gave me the feeling of sniper rifles.

    A new game started, and I rushed to the aisle immediately, not daring to waste a second.  Because the robber is 1 or 2 seconds closer than the police.  Before I entered, I glanced through the wall. Two gangsters were already rushing over with grenades held high.  I didn't panic, I squatted down on the spot, shot two precise bursts with my M4A1 through the wall, and the gangster in front flew back and hit his head!  After the second gangster threw a mine, I tried my best to survive the explosion. I fired the remaining bullets through the wall at the opponent's chest. I didn't bother to look at his tragic death. After cutting into the pistol, I retreated as quickly as possible and headed for the sniper point at the bridge.  Get closer.

    I heard the heavy and soul-stirring sound of a sniper rifle, and the record in the upper right corner was scrolling. On the bridge, Lan Yu also killed a sneak attack gangster across the bridge.

    Then, I heard someone say something in another corner of the Internet cafe.  Although I couldn't hear clearly with headphones on, I could still hear the curse words.  I raised my eyebrows. We have defeated many people, many of whom came here because of their reputation, but no matter who lost, they never said bad words.  In front of beautiful women, you still need to have at least some grace, right?

    But - will the friend who scolds the boss, and is the friend of all the regular customers of the entire Internet cafe, have a good end?

    I lost my mind for a moment. I heard the roar of the AK47, blood splattered on my body, and then the screen turned upside down.

    However, it was now four against two, and the gangsters were surrounded by the police in 15 seconds.

    At this time, from that corner, a boy suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Do you know how to play? If you don't know how to play, don't you feel ashamed?"

    Are you anxious?  I'm surprised, I'm such a graceless person, but shouldn't I be the one to say this?

    Mei Qing and the two administrators hired by the Internet cafe have already walked over, and several old customers of the Internet cafe have also stood up, including the gangsters just now.

    Another boy stood up quickly and said, "We're not going to play anymore. Can we pay the bill?"

    Mei Qing refused to give in: "Let him apologize first. My Internet cafe does not welcome troublemakers."

    "Apologise?" The boy who called out smiled, "If you have the ability, go to the Beyond Internet Cafe and let's have a fight. If you can win, I can kowtow to you."

    It turns out that he is a child who loves his family.  I also laughed and stood up: "What? CS is also divided into home and away games?"

    The boy said: "Forget it."

    "Then tell me, where is the Beyond Internet Cafe? I'll be there on time on Sunday morning."

    "You don't know how to surpass when playing CS? That's right. If you knew, you wouldn't be at this level." The arrogance on the boy's face made me want to slap him.  The two gave an address, dropped the money and left.

    My mood was suddenly ruined. I pushed the keyboard and walked out of the Internet cafe regardless of Mei Qing's plea to stay.  Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I met five or six people. One of them was a middle-aged man whom I knew. He was Xu Tao, a section chief in his father's work unit who often came to the house.

    "Uncle Xu, where are you going?"

    "Oh, we are inspecting the Internet cafe. Do you also like to play in the Internet cafe?"

    "Yes, this Internet cafe is owned by my classmate, and I come here often. What do you check?"

    "It's just some reactionary websites. Of course I'm relieved about your classmates. We'll go elsewhere."

    Mei Qing watched me saying goodbye to Section Chief Xu and asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"

    "He's one of my father's men, how could I not recognize him?"

    I always have Sunday¡¯s game on my mind.  Because I was wondering, it was obviously my side that suppressed the opponent's attack, why did the boy say that I couldn't play?  I thought about the game situation at that time and couldn't think of any mistakes.

    Mei Qing said to ignore what the man said. He was beaten so shamelessly that he was just talking to create a scene. Isn't this the same as "just wait, don't leave if you can, I'll call someone"?

    By Sunday, I finally made up my mind to go to Beyond Internet Cafe to have a look. After all, those of us who have never been to other Internet cafes have no idea what the level of others is like.  Maybe you can really learn something by going beyond the Internet cafe.  Lan Yu and others had no choice but to go with me, but Mei Qing didn't go because she couldn't get out of the store.

    The Beyond Internet Cafe is actually no different from other Internet cafes. There is a lobby at the entrance. There are several rows of computers neatly lined up in the lobby, and there are partitions on both sides of the lobby.  The attendance rate is pretty good, 70% to 80%, and everyone is playing CS.

    Seeing four girls coming all at once, everyone was surprised. The administrator came over and asked politely: "Online or gaming?"

    "Someone said let's come here to play a game!" I said unceremoniously.

    "Competition? Is it CS? Counter-Strike?" The administrator didn't even respond.  There are very few girls playing CS, let alone four of them here at once, and they are still here to compete.  Or call it, kick the field?

    "Welcome, welcome." After all, this is business.  The administrator quickly asked us to go to the cubicle, "I will build a host immediately and find four people to compete for you."

    "There's no need to look for anyone." The boy stood up from the machine opposite last time. "I asked them to come. They can just fight us."

    "Zhang Ping, are you causing trouble outside again?"

    Obviously, Zhang Ping was also a frequent visitor to this Internet cafe. The administrator reprimanded him in a familiar manner, but he chuckled twice and said: "These are the famous Phoenix Team of Apex Internet Cafe. If I lose, I will kowtow to them.  "

    Hearing this, the entire Internet cafe stopped playing and stared at both parties.

    In the compartment, a Logitech optical mouse of the same color is obviously different from the outside.

    "It's our honor for you to come to the Beyond Internet Cafe. It's free today. I hope you will do well. We have heard of your name for a long time, and we want to see Zhang Ping kowtow to the girls."

    The administrator is very good at business and even better at talking.  While I was thinking about it, I skillfully set the game keys according to my own habits.

    The map is still Dust, friendly fire is on, and the bomb time is 35 seconds. Since Mei Qing did not come, it is 4VS4, and the Phoenix team still acts as the police first.

    At the beginning of the game, when I bought the Desert Eagle and rushed forward, I found something was wrong. Why did the crosshair become larger when I ran?

    When I was used to looking outside the wall first, I was surprised to find that I couldn¡¯t see it!  Just when I was stunned, a grenade exploded next to me. I heard footsteps and turned around quickly, and then saw a police officer flying backwards with blood splashing on his head on the screen.  The screen changes to a map.

    How is this going?

    Looking at the record in the upper right corner, I saw that I had been shot in the head. Quickly, the names of the other three people also scrolled out one by one. The gangster won!

    There was no time for me to think too much. The second game started. In order to save money, we all did not buy guns. We gathered together to ambush in Area B. As soon as we arrived, a gangster rushed over with an AK47, and the sound of gunfire sounded.  It was very simple, with no more than 10 shots in total, all four police officers fell to the ground, and three of them were shot in the head.

    In the third game, I bought an MP5, but the sniper Lan Yu hadn¡¯t saved enough money yet, so he continued to charge with a pistol.  To confirm, I went to the wall again. Indeed, I couldn't see anyone on the other side of the wall.  Where did the enemy go?  I suddenly felt unsure.  There were gunshots, and I saw gangsters rushing up to me at the bridge, and I immediately fired back. At this time, there were gunshots from behind, and another gangster came through the wooden door of Area B.

    In just 20 seconds, the gangsters didn¡¯t even bother to plant the bomb, and the one who didn¡¯t die won the battle again.

    In the fourth game, I suddenly didn¡¯t know how to charge. Where will the enemy come from?  I just watched my comrades running in front of me and spreading out. I heard the sound of the Sapphire sniper rifle. She finally had money, but there was another sound, followed by a third shot. Strangely, it was a sniper rifle.  Do you still need to shoot so many guns?  Then, news emerged that Lan Yu had been shot to death.

    I suddenly felt powerless, and even a little scared. This game was no longer familiar to me. From the guns to the game methods and skills, I had competed with many strangers. At that time, I always felt that the fate of the game was different from that of others.  The rhythm is in your own hands, but today, I found that I knew nothing about this game.

    ? ??Seeing three gangsters running towards me, I quickly hid myself, and then saw two grenades flying over.  I only have a measly 2 points of blood left.  I gritted my teeth and refused to let you beat me to death.  I cut the grenade and threw it at my feet.  Before the grenade exploded, I was knocked away, and the roar of the grenade sounded.

    Three gangsters rushed over and spray-painted pictures on the police's bodies. One said "Go to hell, police", the other a bird impaled by a sword, and the last one spray-painted the words "Agree with the above opinions", and then used an AK47 to shoot them.  He gave the corpse a heavy blow.

    I feel like my face is burning. I have never seen such perverted gameplay.  In the past, if someone killed me, they would apologize to me.  I had the urge to cry.

    At the beginning of the fifth game, I found that none of my teammates moved, and they didn¡¯t even buy a gun.  We wonder, which gun to buy?

    I suddenly remembered that I had vaguely heard someone say in the past that some people cheated when playing CS. Although I don¡¯t know the specific situation, I used to be able to see through walls but now I can¡¯t. Originally, a sniper rifle only needed one shot to kill a person no matter where it was, but now it can¡¯t.  If it doesn¡¯t work, there must be something wrong!  No wonder Zhang Ping wants us to come to this Internet cafe to play!

    I finally couldn't bear it anymore, I rushed out of the cubicle and shouted to Zhang Ping: "You dare to cheat!"

    Everyone in the Internet cafe was watching our game. They were stunned when they heard this sentence. Zhang Ping was even more surprised: "Cheating? What do you mean?"

    "What do you mean? Let me ask you, why can't I see the other side of the wall? Why does the crosshair get bigger when I run? Why can't a sniper rifle kill anyone with one shot?"

    After I asked the question, the Internet cafe burst into laughter, and Zhang Ping fell to the ground laughing so hard.

    "why are you laughing?"

    Zhang Ping tried his best to get up and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why are you so awesome? Let me tell you, this game can't see through walls in the first place. The cheating software is used to see through. As for the last two things you mentioned  Yes, because we are playing version 1.5, the crosshair will become larger when moving, and there will be some blood left when the sniper rifle hits below the knee. Do you understand?"

    After saying that, there was even more laughter in the Internet cafe.  There were also some low-pitched comments: "No wonder they are so good. It turns out they were cheating."

    ¡°If you don¡¯t even know this, why are you playing CS?¡±

    My tears finally fell. I ignored the cries of Lan Yu and others and ran out of the Internet cafe door.

    That day, my mood was extremely low because I vaguely felt something. I wanted to go to the Dingdian Internet Cafe to verify something, but in the end I didn¡¯t go. I didn¡¯t even want to go to the dormitory and went home directly.

    When I returned home, my father was at home, and there were several colleagues such as Xu Tao. I went to my room without saying hello.

    "Why are you unhappy? Who bullied you?"

    Unexpectedly, Section Chief Xu could see his depressed expression.

    I seemed to have found an opportunity to vent and recounted my afternoon experience.  My father didn't object to me surfing the Internet before, so he just told me not to go to unfamiliar Internet cafes in the future. Several other people tried their best to tell jokes and finally made me laugh.

    I didn¡¯t go to Dingdian Internet Cafe for the next week. I bought a few guides for ¡°Counter-Strike¡± and a few game magazines.  I learned a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before, but the confusion in my heart has not been eliminated.

    "Mei Qing should have known that there was a cheat device on my machine, but why didn't she tell me? Why didn't she follow the trend and install a new version of the game? You know, the version we are using has been updated multiple times since version 1.0.  And why didn¡¯t the others say anything? Don¡¯t they know that we were able to beat them because we used cheating devices?¡±

    For a long time, how many words I have said in the Internet cafe for a long time?  How many times have you laughed at your losing opponent?  Now, I feel that I am so ignorant, so contemptible.

    There was no class in the afternoon, so I wandered aimlessly on the street and found myself near the Beyond Internet Cafe.  My heart moved and I walked over.  I was surprised to find that there was a seal on the door of the Beyond Internet Cafe, and the official seal on the seal was my father's work unit.

    Why is this?  I turned around in confusion and someone greeted me.  I looked carefully and saw that it was Zhang Ping.  After not seeing him for a few days, Zhang Ping actually looked a lot more haggard, and he was no longer as high-spirited as when he saw him the first two times.

    "Our Internet cafe has been closed down and we can't entertain you. I'm so sorry."

    Even his voice was full of exhaustion.

    "Yours? Are you the owner of the Internet cafe?"

    Zhang Ping nodded but did not answer.

    "Why was it seized?"

    What got Zhang Ping¡¯s wry smile was: ¡°I want to impose a crime because IWhen we installed the WIN98 system on our machines, we used the same CD, and people said we violated copyright laws.  "

    I opened my mouth in surprise.  No matter how familiar I am with Internet cafes, I understand that everyone knows the price of a genuine Windows system. If the hundreds of machines in the Internet cafe strictly follow the installation agreement, each machine must use a separate system, which is almost 10 or so.  Machine price.  Dingdian Internet Cafe simply used pirated CDs.  So, all the Internet cafes in this city should have been closed down.

    "Then the vertex has also been sealed?"

    "No, the boss there is great. It is said that one of her classmates is the daughter of the boss. Who would be so blind to seize it? People said that I accidentally offended someone, and I don't even understand what happened."

    I was excited in my heart: "Who was in charge when we came to seize it? When did they come?"

    "It's a section chief named Xu. He's been there for about a week."

    I understand it all.

    Seeing my expression, Zhang Ping realized something: "What, do you know that person?"

    I said word for word: "I am the classmate of Dingdian Boss."

    After I got home, I lost my temper with my father until I forced him to pick up the phone and call Section Chief Xu, instructing him to immediately allow the Beyond Internet Cafe to reopen.  Originally, my father was opposed to family members interfering with work, but this time he didn't get angry. After my anger subsided, he asked me with a smile: "Why are you so excited? Are you attracted to the little boss?"

    I was shocked, denied it loudly, raised my fist and gave my dad a good slap.

    The next evening, as soon as I returned to the dormitory, someone called me downstairs. Several people poked their heads down to see that it was Zhang Ping.

    "He's attracted to you, right? He's chasing you all the way to school."

    Amidst the laughter of several people, I hurried downstairs.

    "How did you come?"

    "My Internet cafe has reopened and I want to celebrate with you."

    I glanced at him.  I didn't ask why I was being celebrated.  I know that Zhang Ping's words originally meant "come and thank you."  However, Zhang Ping must have thought that if he said this, I would not admit it.  As for how I knew that Zhang Ping understood that it was with his own help that the Internet cafe could reopen, I think it was a very simple matter.

    We looked at each other and felt like we didn¡¯t need to say much.

    In the evening, 7 or 8 people had a drink in a small restaurant. These people were all members of the Transcendence Team. Everyone was very happy, not only because there was a place to play games again, but probably because it was rare to find someone who liked CS.  Probably because MM is here.  I'm also very happy, because everyone at the table can't live without CS. I used to just like playing this game, but now I know that there are so many things in the game.

    "Yesterday, I was suppressed by an AK for half the night. I was shot in the head when we met. I was so depressed."

    "I will never be the first to charge again. It feels so uncomfortable to be hit by three grenades at the same time."

    Such language didn¡¯t stop all night, so much so that the waiter in the restaurant would look at them with suspicion every time she came. I was even afraid that she would call the police.

    In the end, I was too drunk. I held the beer and asked Zhang Ping in a daze: "Tell me, why did Mei Qing hide it from me and let me use the cheating device?"

    Zhang Ping was equally confused and said: "Who is Mei Qing?"

    "He is my classmate and the boss of Apex."

    "Apex? We know." The person who spoke was another young man. It is said that he is a commando of the team, a person "used for wading mines."

    ¡°Apex relies on a few girls playing CS to attract customers, otherwise, who would go there to play such low-version games?¡±

    "If that female boss hadn't had a good classmate, she would have been investigated long ago, and it would never be our turn to surpass her. Who doesn't know that our place is the cleanest?"

    "Sister Feng, you can teach them a lesson some other time. Who said that only Apex has girls playing CS? We can also surpass them."

    The person who spoke obviously did not watch the game a week ago, but Zhang Ping was so embarrassed that he even woke up from alcohol.

    I didn¡¯t change my expression: ¡°I guess there won¡¯t be girls playing games there in the future. Girls all like fashion, so of course they have to come to Beyond to play the higher version.¡±

    Zhang Ping reached out and held my hand: "Thank you, welcome."

    Even though the whole table was cheering, I still couldn't pull my hand back.

    "After dinner, will you accompany me to the summit?" I simply let Zhang Ping hold my hand generously.

    "Why?"

    "I'm going to ask Mei Qing why he lied to me and took advantage of me.I.  "

    "Forget it, it's not easy for a girl to do business. The competition in Internet cafes is too fierce now."

    "Then she shouldn't have lied to me. I have been an old classmate for many years. As long as she said a word, I would help me."

    Zhang Ping wanted to defend Mei Qing, but he found that I, who had always been strong, started to cry softly. He didn't say anything more, as if he knew that I didn't need comfort now. He did the right thing and held me in his arms.  .

    This time, no one was making noise anymore.

    One day a month later, four girls blocked the door of the Beyond Internet Cafe.

    "Zhang Ping, get out of here!"

    The administrator came over and said, "It's my sister-in-law. Did Brother Ping offend you?"

    Zhang Ping came over and drove the administrator aside. Did he know that the other three people were my roommates, and they were all people who could not afford to offend.

    "What's wrong?"

    "You still dare to ask? Let me ask you, do you know WCG? Do you know where the Counter-Strike competition in our city is held?"

    Zhang Ping immediately knew what was going on, and while letting everyone in with a smile on his face, he replied: "I know, it will be held in our Internet cafe."

    "Why didn't you tell me if you didn't care about us?"

    "I'm afraid you will be unhappy, and I don't want people to say that I approached you just to take advantage of you."

    Seeing Zhang Ping¡¯s rare serious face, I was speechless for a moment.  After glaring at him for a long time, he said fiercely: "If you don't tell me, I will knock you down. I tell you that our Phoenix team will also participate!"

    "Okay, I agree, can't I support it?" It would be a lie to say that Zhang Ping is not surprised. In this kind of competition that brings together elites, can the Phoenix team be good?

    "You look down on us? Okay, let's compete. If you lose, you have to kowtow to us!"

    "support!"

    Before Zhang Ping could answer, cheers erupted in the Internet cafe.
