Chapter 64 The Tadpoles' Game of Finding Their Mother
After standing up and seeing the person in front of him clearly, Chu Yunhui was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, it's Lao Lu!"
Chu Yunhui punched Lu Ran in the chest.
"How come I run into you like this?"
When a girl punches you, it's called a light tap on the chest. But when a guy, especially a close friend, punches you, it's like breaking a boulder on your chest.
Lu Ran was so badly beaten that he started coughing and choking.
"Ahem, um, I was just about to say that you came to Chengjiang and didn't even call me."
Lu Ran, of course, wouldn't let himself be taken advantage of, and retaliated with a punch of his own.
Chu Yunhui was also punched so hard that he coughed.
But the two of them pretended nothing was wrong.
Chu Yunhui smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I really didn't mean to not contact you. I just had something to do."
As Chu Yunhui spoke, he discreetly hid a bag under the table, inside which was a yellow vest, his work uniform.
At such close range, Lu Ran could naturally see even such a small movement.
He didn't point it out, but instead turned on a machine next to him.
"Let's leave everything else aside. Since we've met, let's play a few rounds together."
"It's been a long time since I practiced shooting."
Chu Yunhui's eyes lit up.
"Really? That's great! Whoever cheated you out today treats you."
Lu Ran glanced at him speechlessly: "You're fucking despicable."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and log in."
"No way, I've been AFK for so long, my old lady teammates must be cursing me to death."
Chu Yunhui then remembered that the game wasn't over yet, and quickly sat down to control his character.
Sure enough, as soon as I put on my headphones, I heard my teammates' merciless taunts.
"What era are we living in? People still play Go and it just freezes. Use your Little Tyrant learning machine to do your elementary school math problems properly. Does your mom know you're secretly playing computer games?"
"You're saying I'm an old lady with good marksmanship? Your marksmanship isn't much better."
Chu Yunhui said unhappily, "What's your hurry? I just ran into my brother and greeted him. Also, I'm using a 78x3D with a 5070."
"Tch, so what if it's an internet cafe computer? It's not like it's yours to brag about it being yours."
Chu Yunhui laughed and said, "Hehe, aren't you at an internet cafe too? Your shooting skills are so-so, yet you insist on coming to GO to prove your skills! The result is just average. Don't think you're superior just because you're a girl playing games. This is GO, not that little tadpole game."
"What do you mean?"
"Haha, I've never heard of tadpoles looking for their mothers. Have you ever been to school?"
"You...if you're so capable, let's finish this round and have a one-on-one match."
"Heh, who cares about a one-on-one fight with you? It's a waste of time. I'm going to play with my buddies now. I'll block you after we're done."
Lu Ran looked at Chu Yunhui's screen and realized that he was arguing with the best-performing teammate on the team.
Both of them were incredibly skilled, leaving their opponents no chance to retaliate.
If they can still argue like this, then they probably already have a grudge against each other.
They probably clashed while they were working on the tiles.
And indeed, Lu Ran's guess came true.
As soon as Chu Yunhui's brutal killing session ended, he kicked "Gao Cha Liu Yifei" out of the team without giving her a chance to retaliate.
He then recounted his feud with "Gao Cha Liu Yifei" to Lu Ran.
Lu Ran gave a thumbs up.
"You're amazing. You've switched between three games, from League of Legends to Warcraft and then to GO, just to prove that you're better than others. You're quite persistent."
Chu Yunhui said, "Actually, this person is quite amazing. She's the best female gamer I've ever seen."
"She's just too competitive and likes to put pressure on people. I just wanted to curb her arrogance."
"Let's not talk about these useless things anymore. Let's just compare kills this round. Whoever has fewer kills treats everyone." Chu Yunhui patted Lu Ran on the shoulder, laughing heartily.
He misses his university days so much.
He doesn't have to do anything every day, but he can get his roommate to treat him to meals, snacks, and drinks just by playing games. He has so many loot that he can hardly eat them all.
Lu Ran nodded: "Okay, I'll kill one and count it as three, if you kill more than me, you win."
"You little rascal, you've gone astray!" Chu Yunhui said, then smiled calmly, "I accept, but don't go back on your word later!"
Lu Ran believes that since everyone is 25, their skill level must be declining together.
He refused to believe that he couldn't win with a head-to-head ratio of one to three.
As a result, after one game...
Lu Ran almost gave up. It wasn't that he was bad at the game, but that Old Chu was too fierce and cunning. He kept in front of him the whole time, and Lu Ran couldn't get a single kill.
This situation lasted for three hours.
Lu Ran not only lost his internet fee, but also a whole bunch of drinks and snacks. If smoking wasn't prohibited in the internet cafe, he probably would have lost several packs of cigarettes as well.
"Hey Lu, why do I get the feeling that the staff at this internet cafe are kind of afraid of you?"
Lu Ran coughed and said, "Cough, um, maybe they think I'm too handsome and it puts pressure on them, you know that."
Chu Yunhui rolled his eyes at him.
"Get the hell out of here! How have you become so shameless after all these years?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and asked, "How long have you been in Chengjiang?"
Chu Yunhui replied while playing the game, "Not long ago, I just moved here last month."
My girlfriend, whom I've only been dating for a few months, lives here.
"I was going to call you, but Li Shang told me you went abroad, so I didn't bother you."
Lu Ran nodded: "I see."
"Okay, I feel much better now that you've explained it that way. I'll reluctantly forgive you."
Chu Yunhui cursed and said, "Damn it, who cares if you forgive me? I just didn't want to contact you on purpose. What if you ask me for money?"
"By the way, how's your job? Let me tell you, if I had a chance to go back to the time of my college entrance exam, I definitely wouldn't choose civil engineering."
Hearing this, Lu Ran wholeheartedly agreed.
"After working for several years and saving every penny, I only had 30,000 yuan left. I was about to get a raise, but then I was laid off. My spirit was broken, and I stayed at home for a year."
Chu Yunhui nodded in empathy.
"We're such unfortunate brothers, why did we have to study civil engineering of all things?"
"Look at Shangzi, she's working so comfortably at a big winery now, she got married early, and her son will be born next year."
"By the way, I heard from Shangzi that you drive a G-Wagon. Since you're unemployed and lying around doing nothing, where did you get the money?"
Chu Yunhui turned his head and looked at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran pursed his lips and said, "Back in college, I liked to dabble in stocks, and I added some leverage before, and I accidentally made a little money."
"Holy crap, you can actually do that?"
"Really? You can earn enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Class by playing the stock market?"
Lu Ran nodded: "Why would I lie to you? Besides, I got better and better at it, and I earned more and more money. Now I can basically support my daily life."
Chu Yunhui looked on with envy.
"If you're so talented, why didn't you choose finance?"
Lu Ran didn't answer that question, but instead asked, "Forget about me, what about you? What kind of work are you doing now?"
Chu Yunhui laughed and said, "Haha, well, I'm currently engaged in the high-end instant lifestyle business district, providing efficient, fast, accurate, and customized exclusive services, covering catering, medicine, daily necessities, etc."
"Just deliver food, why call it a high-end lifestyle service?"
Faced with Lu Ran's complaints, Chu Yunhui reluctantly took out his work clothes from under the table.
"Alright, I knew you saw it. That's right, so what if I deliver food? I earn my living with my own skills, there's nothing shameful about it."
"Don't change the subject. You still owe me fifty yuan in internet fees, hurry up and pay."
"The money I topped up through the promotion is almost gone. You can recharge it for me, otherwise I can't afford such expensive internet fees."
Lu Ran felt a little better when his brother finally confessed to him openly.
He picked up Chu Yunhui's ID card from the table, raised his hand to the passing male waiter, and said, "Manager, top up his account with two hundred yuan."
Chu Yunhui was moved to tears: "Good brother, recharge 200 and get 500 free, I can play for a long time again."
The network administrator stepped forward and respectfully took the ID card: "Okay, boss."
After the network administrator walked away, Chu Yunhui finally realized what he meant: "What did he just call you? Boss?"
