No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 188 Picking up people from the internet cafe
Guan Ren was not very clear about the distribution of internet cafes in Jiangzhou County.

But Liu Xiong had his own internet cafe radar; he had scouted out a good internet cafe with a safe atmosphere and new equipment well in advance for the winter break.

"We're here! This is it!"

"Angel…"

Guan Ren looked up at the sign for "Angel Internet Cafe," lost in thought, his mind wandering.

"What's wrong, Ren-ge?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's nothing. I just think angels are nice. Angels are... cute."

"?"

Six months ago, Liu Xiong probably didn't know what the foreign word "cute" meant.

But we know that now.

To some extent, this can be seen as a harbinger of the impending explosion and influx of island nation culture.

However, when it comes to the specific question of "what's so cute about angels," Liu Xiong still doesn't know.

Guan Ren understands.

Because Teacher Angel Moe is still two years away from her debut.

"Where are Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli?"

"They're not here yet, let's keep driving. Huh? Xu Hui isn't here either?"

"He can't come; his parents took him to visit relatives in the countryside."

……

Actually, there were more than just Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei among the acquaintances at Angel Internet Cafe today.

People like Wu Xucheng, Zhao Fengnian, and others from Class 8 also came to [Angel Internet Cafe] for team building.

Many of them are people I know.

Especially Guan Ren.

He got to know many students from other classes at the tutoring center.

Meanwhile, League of Legends had gradually become the mainstream game in internet cafes.

So, after exchanging a few casual words, the two groups from Class 7 and Class 8 looked at each other and tacitly offered the same suggestion.

"Shall we play black later?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking! But we have two girls here who probably don't know how to play."

"We also have two girls who don't know how, but that's okay."

Liu Xiong then asked Guan Ren.

Guan Ren said that Luo Xiaobei could play, and although Gu Youli had never played before, it didn't matter, he could teach her.

……

Five-man vs. five-man.

The fact that such a team could be assembled for League of Legends right now is sure to ignite everyone's passion.

Even though no one mentioned anything like "seventh class against eighth class" or anything like that, everyone felt a certain sense of honor involved in this battle.

Jingle Bell--

"Hey?"

"Guan Ren, come and get me quickly."

"Where are you?"

"At the entrance of the internet cafe."

"..."

This thing is being cute again.

Guan Ren had no choice but to go out and lift the plastic curtain when he was still waiting for someone at the door.

At a glance, one could see the smoky gray striped cotton pantyhose wrapped around Luo Xiaobei's beautiful legs.

Then I saw Luo Xiaobei.

"Is not It Cold?"

"what?"

Luo Xiaobei paused for a moment, then looked down at her legs and tilted her little boots slightly:
"No, it's quite warm walking around, and the internet cafe has heating."

"Yes."

Actually, the kind Luo Xiaobei is wearing is similar to the "bare leg" tights, and it also has a fleece lining.

But the outside isn't flesh-colored; it's a very nice cotton material that feels comfortable to the touch, and Guan Ren really likes it.

----------

Wow, this internet cafe is huge!

Luo Xiaobei hadn't been to an internet cafe with Guan Ren since before, and she found it all very novel, looking around everywhere.

"It was like a maze. Luckily you came to pick me up, otherwise I would definitely have gotten lost."

"How can you get lost like this?"

What white mouse...

Guan Ren smiled at the woman and then led her to Liu Xiong's vicinity.

Is the machine turned on?

"No, Ren-ge, there's a problem."

Liu Xiong looked distressed and pulled Guan Ren aside:
"Class 8 arrived a bit early. The five-seater benches are all taken, but there are still three-seater and two-seater benches, not far apart. The main problem is the two-seater benches; the table is covered in instant noodles and cigarette butts, and the internet cafe manager hasn't come to collect them..."

Guan Ren was taken aback. This is what you call a problem?
"Why don't you just call the network administrator?"

"I called for it, but the boss deliberately refused to accept it."

"Huh? Why?"

Liu Xiong became a little embarrassed when this was mentioned:

“You don’t know, Zhang Chi and I have been to this place a few times and had a little conflict with the owner.”

"What minor conflict?"

"There was a female internet cafe manager who was the boss's mistress. We didn't know that. We were just giving her a rating when we were buying water at the front desk..."

"..."

Guan Ren felt a bit ridiculous and wanted to call him a "shrimp head." But then he thought, rating girls is actually quite a "small trend" these days.

For example, I often see the saying "seven parts black fungus".

"So now the boss doesn't like us, and he's deliberately not cleaning up the two benches. It's really annoying..."

"Okay, then I'll go find him."

Guan Ren thought that as an outsider, it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask the boss to clear the table.

It turned out that the boss had clearly seen all along that he was in cahoots with Liu Xiong and his gang.

He couldn't say it outright, so he glanced at Guan Ren and gave the same perfunctory reply, "The internet cafe manager is busy, wait a bit," before continuing to play his game at the front desk.

Guan Ren glanced at his boss's computer; he was also playing League of Legends.

But it's a disaster, we're 8-0 and have completely lost, we're almost done for, I'm typing this and cursing right now:
[Jiangzhou County's Most Heartfelt Affection: A Bunch of Idiots @%*#…]

At that time, there weren't many censored words in League of Legends, and the boss's insults were incredibly vulgar. Guan Ren frowned as he watched, but still patiently offered a couple of sharp comments from the side:

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do, their lineup just counters you."

The boss glanced at Guan Ren again, then muttered to himself:

"Damn...it is a bit..."

He doesn't know anything about self-control.

These days, how many people actually understand hero counters? A lot of people just mash up their keyboards; if they do it fast enough, they can climb the ranks.

Soon after, the boss died.

"屮!"

"This Japanese hero is too tough, there's nothing I can do, wait, why aren't your teammates helping you?"

"Hmph! These idiots, if they knew how to help, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

The boss continued typing away.

Guan Ren stood by and offered various words of comfort.

But to the boss, it all sounds like, "Never fight with your teammates!"

The boss got angrier and angrier, and a full-blown flame war broke out in the game until it ended.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The boss smashed his keyboard, and even though Guan Ren tried to smooth things over the whole time, he was still in a bad mood in the end.

Guan Ren then coaxed him a few more times:
"Forget it, boss, it's not your fault, it's all the fault of the bad environment."

The boss found it intriguing:

"environment?"

"Yeah, it's all because the Chinese server environment is too bad. If it were the Korean server or something, you would have already climbed the ranks."

"Um…"

Upon hearing this, the boss lit a cigarette and felt his mood instantly calm down considerably.

Yes, this is a problem with the Chinese server environment.

What does the environment of the Chinese server have to do with Chinese players?

Which district are you from?

"Electric Power 1".

"Um…"

The boss nodded, then immediately called out to a passing network administrator:

"Hey! How many times have I told you, move those two seats over there."

After saying that, the boss turned around and posted on Baidu Tieba:

[This is unbearable! Five games in a row! After reflecting, I realized the game's environment on the Chinese server is just too bad!]

----------

In just five minutes, Guan Renlong managed to free up the two seats.

Although Liu Xiong and the others did not know what Guan Ren had done, they saw him negotiate with the boss for a few words and then win. They were filled with admiration for Guan Ren.

"Come on, let's add each other as friends first."

Guan Ren sat down at the three-person seating area. Liu Xiong gestured for him to sit next to Guan Ren, but Zhang Chi stopped him.

"Isn't that area all cleared out? Let's go sit over there."

"What?"

Liu Xiong was puzzled:

"Let Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli sit together, then the three of us can sit together."

The logic seems to be this way.

But Zhang Chi only glanced thoughtfully at his good brother Guan Ren.

Seeing that he was sitting in the middle of a three-seater row, with an empty seat on each side, she decisively pulled Liu Xiong to the side:
"Second Master is a master, we'll disturb his performance, so please go sit over there."

“屮…”

Liu Xiong wanted to ask, wouldn't Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli bother Guan Ren?
But Zhang Chi still forcibly dragged it away.

Jingle Bell--

At the same time, Guan Ren's phone rang again.

"Hey?"

"Guan Ren, I...I've arrived."

"..."

Well, another one to pick up.

However, Little Pear Blossom probably wasn't being coquettish.

This was her first time visiting an internet cafe.

When Guan Ren arrived at the door, he immediately saw her standing hesitantly there. Her face appeared calm, but her legs were straight and together, and one hand was tightly gripping her small handbag.

"Come with me," Guan Ren said with a smile.

"Ah."

Gu Youli nodded, her lips panting softly, puffs of white steam rising into the air.
