Smoking is actually quite normal for CS players. Back in the day, Eggplant would always smoke through the curtains. Whether in China or abroad, many people would go outside to smoke after a match before coming back to play.

For example, Kyousuke in Russia.

While drawing,

Lin Lingling's gaze fell on the bucket beside her.

Eh!

She has a great idea!

……

Seventeen-year-old Lin Lingling, carrying a red bucket and all her belongings, walked expressionlessly down the street.

Passersby turned their gazes toward them.

I wondered if even a beautiful girl would run away with a bucket.

At least she's undeniably a "beautiful girl"... Although Lin Lingling didn't waste much time observing her appearance, as things stand, she has a standard height of 1.6 meters, neat long black hair, and a pretty face...

Even the black-rimmed glasses that might make her look a little less intelligent couldn't hide her beauty.

But at least he was dressed like a human being.

It's not "everyone's a villain" nor is it a Want Want shirt and joggers.

Instead, it was just a regular white T-shirt and jeans.

Lin Lingling didn't have time to pay attention to how others perceived her...

She was just thinking.

How should I spend tonight?

Lin Lingling had less than thirty yuan left, and no place to rent. She had just been kicked out of her home, and the only place she could stay was the dormitory at the electronics factory. Unless she really went to find a cheap place to live, or figured out a way to beat up the old man, Lin Lingling would really be homeless tonight.

As for the latter

Lin Lingling had only heard of it.

I'm not mentally prepared to be a doormat yet...

not to mention...

If income doesn't cover expenses, then even beating the old man won't help!

Oh!

Lin Lingling suddenly realized that this was Hefei, and she thought she could try ordering a "love meal" at Lao Xiang Ji (a popular fast-food chain restaurant).

If all else fails, go eat at Mimura Bibimbap and get free rice and side dishes...

No source of income...no place to live

Survival crisis

This is Lin Lingling's most serious problem right now. She wonders, could the electronics factory really be the right thing to do?

"No! No!"

The thought that she was actually considering how to spend her life as a "hanger-up" (a person who is essentially living a life of leisure and contemplation) made Lin Lingling rub her face vigorously...

I wondered how I could have fallen so low!

But there's nothing we can do about it. If you enter the workforce and have no source of income, it will be very difficult to survive.

In the face of near despair,

The only one I can remember...

It's the game for which Lin Lingling devoted half her life.

CSGO.

September 2023 has not yet arrived, and the era of CS2 has not yet begun.

The game is still ending in 16 minutes, the AK's gunshot sound hasn't been changed yet, and the 128TICK server is very clean.

For CS,

Lin Lingling has always maintained her confidence. Even though she's been retired for a long time, she still plays ranked matches and PL (Player vs. Player) to keep her skills sharp because of her passion. She occasionally adds a "torture the PL dogs" caption to the title.

So...

Think of a way to get the order?

The thirty yuan I had was just enough to pay for internet. If I could get an order, I'd have food to eat today.

Lin Lingling thought,

She stopped, carrying the red bucket, and fixed her gaze on the "Bubble Esports" booth next to her.

……

"ID card."

"...what?"

"ID card! Or scan your face to access the internet."

"...Uh...Huh!?"

Lin Lingling, reborn in 2023, began to breathe out for the first time.

ha!?

She stared dumbfounded at the facial recognition machine next to her, feeling utterly hopeless under the questioning gaze of the receptionist.

With the progress of the times

Illegal internet cafes are becoming increasingly rare; now it's the era of facial recognition for internet access.

so...

Similarly, the bottom line of allowing internet access to those over 18 is strictly enforced.

Unfortunately, Lin Lingling is only sixteen this year and won't turn eighteen until the year after. The implication is that even if Lin Lingling wants to improve her life through CS:GO, she still can't access the internet.

Even if you can access the internet,

Many shop owners who sell accessories won't let her take orders once they hear she plays in an internet cafe.

It's common knowledge that internet cafes steal Steam data.

Therefore, you rarely see CS players in internet cafes or internet cafes.

"..."

Lin Lingling took a step back expressionlessly, already mentally calculating how to explain her absence to her supervisor. If all else failed... she could endure it, stay at the factory for two months, use one month's salary for rent, and the other month's salary for a computer.

After that...

Turn your life around!

The girl collecting trash silently walked away, carrying her red bucket.

We're about to eat garbage.

Lin Lingling sighed wearily, her gaze fixed on a corner of the internet cafe...

To her surprise, she discovered a girl playing Counter-Strike in the corner of the internet cafe!

Although it has nothing to do with Lin Lingling,

But then she thought...

She seemed a little tired from walking; her white socks and feet were almost rubbed raw... Should she watch for a while? Lin Lingling thought, and then simply stood behind the girl, watching the game that fascinated her, the game she had dedicated her life to.

CSGO

That familiar scene reappeared before her.

only...

"I'm kidding! You're attacking B and there's not even a cigarette from the police? Are you even going to attack me?"

Watching the girl in front of the computer screen control the ruthless bandit, leaping into the B bomb site of Inferno Town with a Bison in hand, only to be simultaneously knocked away from three directions, Lin Lingling couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. She thought to herself, "This is essentially a fish-egg situation."

Hearing the noise behind her, the girl took off her headphones.

Suddenly, I realized there was someone else standing behind me.

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment... She looked at Lin Lingling in confusion, wondering what this person was doing.

Lin Lingling replied with a smile, "Sister, you can do your thing, I'll just watch."

……

"What are you even doing here?!"

The girl being watched by Lin Lingling was clearly also a little flushed.

She discovered that this guy had been standing behind her and watching her for a whole hour! She was being relentlessly stalked! She had to constantly adjust her clothes and appearance... she couldn't even play a game in peace!

In reality, Lin Lingling was just watching.

But she was also a little itchy to touch it.
