Chapter 48 Arcade
Children's so-called outings usually don't have any specific destination. Their outings are really just about going out to play, aimlessly wandering around familiar streets, taking whatever they want.
Su Qing held an umbrella and gave in in front of the harsh sunshine as always, while Yan Qinghe, who didn't know whether it was because of his pride or something else, just walked there under the bright sun.
"Hey, you really don't want to come in? Aren't you hot?" Su Qing didn't know how many times she had persuaded the other party. She had obviously brought a big parasol, which was enough for two people.
This little deskmate had to bask in the sun by himself.
It's really a pity for her fair skin like that of a cream boy.
"I said no, only girls can hold umbrellas on sunny days." Yan Qinghe wiped his sweat, his small face full of stubbornness, "You are so girly, I don't want it."
"Why is this so effeminate..."
The two of them just walked on the street and argued for more than half an hour on the topic of "Is it a mother-in-law to hold a parasol?". Su Qing, the debater, cited classics from all aspects to explain why "ultraviolet rays in the sun are easy to cause"
You'll get sunburned skin," "You'll become ugly if you get tanned," and so on. They talked a lot. However, the debater Yan Qinghe didn't care and firmly held on to his own point from beginning to end:
"It's too girly, I don't want it."
As the saying goes, one new trick can be used everywhere. In the end, Su Qing lost this debate.
They were thirsty, so they bought popsicles at a roadside shop. Su Qing chose a milk-flavored one, while Yan Qinghe picked a mung bean one. The two children took the popsicles and continued shopping while nibbling them.
I don’t know why, but the two of them were walking and somehow ended up at the elementary school.
"Hey, the door is not open." Yan Qinghe looked at the tightly closed iron sliding door, with some inexplicable regret in his tone.
"It's a holiday now, so of course the door is closed." Su Qing replied matter-of-factly, and asked a little strangely: "Why? You still want to go in and take a look?"
"No..." Yan Qinghe turned around and pointed to the store door opposite the school, "Hey, remember, this was originally a small store, but it's closed now."
"I told you it was because of the holiday..."
Su Qing shook her head. Schools are on holiday, and small shops that rely on students to make money will naturally also be on holiday. What's there to say?
"Let's go."
The two of them turned around and walked back along the original road.
"Hey, Su Qing, how are you doing in Xiaoyue?" Yan Qinghe kicked a stone under his feet, but accidentally kicked it too hard into the river. The stone hit the water, causing ripples.
.
Why does everyone seem to like to ask this question?
"Is it okay?" Su Qing looked at the ripples and slowly took a bite of the ice cream in his mouth. "How are you doing in the public school? Is the public school really as strict as it is said outside?"
"It's not just strict, it's simply..." When he talked about this, Yan Qinghe immediately turned into a bitter face and started to vomit his bitterness to Su Qing, "Let me tell you, we basically don't finish class for you.
Understand, almost every teacher is busy in class. After class, there is no place to go to the toilet to get boiling water. There are four classes in the morning, four classes in the afternoon, and three periods of self-study in the evening. People are almost passing..."
"Uh...Is that so?" Su Qing put the handle of the umbrella on her shoulder and lazily held the umbrella, "Does it feel okay? It's not too strict..."
"Hey, that's easy to say." Yan Qinghe wrinkled his nose and said angrily, "If you have the ability, come and try it. It's really..."
Su Qing smiled and didn't reply.
In fact, their classes are not much different from those in public schools.
Wandering on the street was no longer interesting, so the two of them thought of finding a place to sit and play. After all, no one was really willing to stroll on the street in such a sunny day.
Yan Qinghe doesn't want to hold an umbrella just because he can't help but feel ashamed, it's not because he likes to abuse himself.
"Hey, I'll take you to a fun place."
Yan Qinghe said this without saying where exactly, and walked to the front to lead the way. Su Qing followed him holding an umbrella.
The two of them took a detour to the left at an intersection halfway home from elementary school. After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a relatively secluded place.
Workers' Stadium.
Of course, it is not the famous workers' gymnasium in the imperial capital, but Wen County's own workers' gymnasium. It was demolished in later generations due to urban planning and other reasons, but it is still preserved now.
Speaking of which, this place is quite famous at this time for no other reason than it has the largest roller skating rink in Wen County and an arcade. If a child of a family does not go home after a certain period of time, the parents only need to come here.
Nine times out of ten you can find it.
Therefore, due to rumors, this place has become a gathering place for bad children and hooligans in the eyes of adults. It is regarded as a scourge by parents. It is a place where children need to be warned to stay away from time to time. If any child is found to be here,
If you don't, you'll have to get a beating at least.
"Hey, you, a little girl, must have never been to this place." Yan Qinghe led Su Qing into one of the houses with excitement. There were rows of arcade machines, human voices, game sounds, and button clicks.
The banging sound mixed into an extremely noisy sound, "I tell you, this is fun."
Even with such a strong sun, the room was still groggy. As soon as Su Qing walked in, she couldn't help frowning and covering her nose - it wasn't that she was squeamish, it was because the smell here was too strong.
The weather was already hot, and the room had no air conditioning and no ventilation. The special smell of cigarette smoke and sweat was really nauseating.
"Hey, let's go." Su Qing pulled Yan Qinghe.
After being baptized by the games with excellent graphics in later generations, Su Qing really had no interest in these mosaic arcade machines. The environment here was so bad that she really didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Oh, you'll find it fun if you play with it for a while." Yan Qinghe didn't allow Su Qing to refuse, so he directly exchanged five yuan for ten coins, divided half of it and stuffed it into Su Qing's hand, "I'll treat you."
At this time, arcade machines still cost 50 cents a coin, and you only needed one coin to play once, which was very cheap.
"Hey... okay." Su Qing padded the game coins on her hand and shook her head helplessly, "Then what do you want to play?"
"Uh... let me take a look." Yan Qinghe took Su Qing around and found an unoccupied machine. "That's it. Hehe, it's a martial arts competition. It's fun."
Su Qing looked at it. Although the screen of the arcade was still a bunch of mosaic combinations in her eyes, it was still not difficult to see that the picture automatically played on it was of two men fighting, one wearing purple leather pants, and the other
, has arrogant yellow hair that rises to the sky like a broom.
The King of Fighters is a very classic old game.
"Then let's take this."
Su Qing sat down and threw a coin in. Yan Qinghe beside him also threw a coin in. The two selected the double PK mode and then entered the selection screen.
"You have never played it, right? Hehe, I will let you play this game first, choose a weak one, and let you get familiar with the operation first." No matter what age a boy is, there will always be an inexplicable feeling when playing games.
Fanatic, even Yan Qinghe's face looked a little excited at this moment, "You choose the one, the one on the left, Iori, it's awesome."
"Yeah." Su Qing responded perfunctorily, listening to Yan Qinghe randomly select three people, and then clicked OK.
Although it is a long time ago, Su Qing still knows the basic operations of the classic fighting game The King of Fighters, and he also roughly remembers several of the main characters in it.
Although there are no weak characters in The King of Fighters, since they are different characters, there will naturally be some differences in strength or weakness, or in other words, differences in styles. Anyway, in Su Qing's impression, Kusanagi Kyo and Iori Yagami should be the only hidden characters in The King of Fighters.
They are the two strongest characters outside of China.
Yan Qinghe directed Su Qing to choose these two people, and also added a clone "K", and the characters he chose himself were, well... the strong man wearing a karate uniform and the fat Su Qing holding a big iron ball.
I don’t quite remember what it was called, but I do remember the name of another female character in red, Su Qing.
After all, Mai Shiranui will be a very famous character even in later generations, but this fame has nothing to do with her own strength...
"Hey, don't say I'm bullying you. I deliberately chose a few weak characters." Yan Qinghe rubbed his hands and breathed into his palms, with an excited smile on his face: "This game is quite difficult.
It requires a lot of skills, and it won’t be normal the first time you play it. It will be fine if you play it a few more times.”
He said this as if he had already won.
Speaking of which, besides being able to play games, the reason why this little guy is so excited now is actually more because he knows that he can bully a "rookie" soon, right?
After all, Su Qing is a little girl who has "never played" The King of Fighters. He may have to deliberately hold back his hand for a few moments later, otherwise it will end too quickly and the game currency will be wasted.
"Yeah, I understand."
Su Qing smiled and touched the joystick and buttons.
