Chapter 26 Chen Guo Eight Years Ago
Su Muqiu is now working the day shift, from 8 am to 8 pm, a total of twelve hours.

The hours are quite long, but the work is easy. I can surf the Internet, watch TV and play games. I don’t have to clean. I just need to serve tea and water to guests occasionally.

Xingxin Internet Cafe has thousands of computers and is one of the largest Internet cafes in Hangzhou City. There is more than one waiter in the Internet cafe, Su Muqiu.

Currently, there are four waiters on the day shift in the Internet cafe, two on the first floor and two on the second floor.

Su Muqiu is a technical waiter, who helps with recharges. The other one is a neat waiter. In addition to serving tea and water, his main responsibility is to clean up the garbage on the computer desk after the guests leave.

Then there are two aunties who specialize in cleaning. They come to clean once every morning at 2 o’clock, noon, o’clock in the afternoon, and o’clock in the evening, so the environment of the Internet cafe is quite clean.

Because there were so many waiters, Su Muqiu also got the privilege of being the boss and could play on the computer while working.

The only problem is that you can’t use the host that allows customers to recharge, for fear that the machine will jam and cause the recharge system to crash.

But there are two computers at the front desk. In addition to the main computer, the other one is for him to play with.

Su Muqiu plays games during the day and doesn’t go to do dungeons. Dungeons are usually done at night.

During the day, I mainly set up stalls to sell things, and then set up stalls to collect things.

As a professional player, Su Muqiu must have not just one account, but three accounts.

One account is used to set up a stall to sell things for at least 12 hours a day (working hours), and the other account is used to set up a stall to collect things.

Anyone who has played the game knows that a character collects items at the exit of the main city. When players go out to level up, they will see someone buying materials here at a ‘high price’.

Players who don’t know the price or are in urgent need of money will sell precious rare materials to Su Muqiu at a “high price”.

Then another account would take the collected items and sell them at a stall in the city center at a really ‘high price’.

In this way, by buying and selling, you can directly earn the difference.

The game “Glory” is very popular, with millions of players in the new zone. If you are lucky, you can earn a difference of thousands of dollars in a day.

Then there is another account, which is Su Muqiu’s main account, the account [Jun Mo Xiao].

During working hours, this account wanders around the city where I live, to see if there are any newbies who don’t know the prices and are selling top-quality props and equipment at a low price. If I’m lucky, I might even see someone who was in a hurry to set up a stall and entered the wrong price.

The original amount was 500 silver coins, but I lost 500 copper coins.

If you see this kind of bargain and don’t take it, you’d be a real bastard.

In addition to wandering around and picking up bargains, you can also keep an eye on the world channel to see if the world boss has been refreshed.

Once he finds that a World Boss has been refreshed, he will go there immediately and take advantage of the chaos to grab the Boss. Even if he cannot grab the Boss, he can go in and pick up scraps when a big battle breaks out between the guilds that are fighting for the Boss.

Sometimes you can earn more money by picking up equipment in a melee battlefield than by killing a boss.

Many times, in order to seize a boss, there would be a huge fight involving thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

The appearance of a hidden boss is bound to result in rivers of blood and deafening shouts of killing.

The principle that has always been followed in online games is that whoever has the bigger fist is the boss, and a fight will break out if there is a disagreement.

In this melee, Su Muqiu was like a fish in water. He did not participate in the battle. He only needed to dodge and not be accidentally injured by the players, and then use “fast, accurate and ruthless” operations to pick up the equipment that exploded on the ground and put it into his bag at lightning speed.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can snatch one or two bosses from these guild leaders, which is really a huge profit.

In this leisurely life in the Internet cafe, Su Muqiu earned a salary of 2000 yuan a month from the Internet cafe, and also made money by setting up stalls and picking up trash in the game. When things were good, he could make 2 yuan a month.

However, Su Muqiu exchanged most of the equipment and materials he scavenged for rare materials.

And because Glory has opened up the Realm of God, the prices of rare materials have dropped significantly.

After all, after ascending to the realm of gods, you can obtain materials from 4 areas, and the materials in the old areas are naturally much cheaper than those in the new areas.

After two months of hard work by Su Muqiu, his Jun Moxiao has been upgraded to level 45, and the Thousand Machine Umbrella in his hand has also been successfully upgraded to level 40.

The Thousand Chance Umbrella can now transform into seven forms, namely shield, spear, knight sword, sword, rifle, staff, and oriental stick. And each of the seven forms has been upgraded with at least one attribute.

The shield has a property, which is damage absorption +15%.

The defense of the Thousand Chance Umbrella is very strong. Using a shield to block can reduce 45% of the damage. Now that the damage absorption has been increased by 15%, when attacked, it can reduce 60% of the damage.

The spear form already has two attributes, and the previous curse effect is still there, with the 5% chance unchanged.

But the second attribute that appears now is that the attack ignores 5% of defense.

This attribute directly ignores defense, which is more powerful than increasing damage. It is a truly rare attribute.

The Knight Sword has a property that when attacking, there is a 3% chance of inflicting 300 points of true damage.

The Knight is a well-known meat shield profession with high defense and low output.

Giving weapons true damage can effectively increase the output of knight skills.

This attribute is an excellent attribute for knight players, but for Su Muqiu, it is actually not a good attribute.

Because Su Muqiu’s individual play style does not use many knight skills, instead of increasing the output damage, it is better to increase other attributes.

The Tachi now also has two attributes. The first is to increase the attack speed by 5%. Now the speed has been increased to 8% by Su Muqiu.

The second attribute is the Tachi mastery skill level +1, which is equivalent to increasing the Tachi skill output by 2%.
Rifle, staff, oriental stick. They also have an attribute entry.

The triggering conditions for many entries are only 5% or 3%, which is a very low probability.

But once triggered, it may very well become the key to turning the tide of the battle.

In the fulfilling life in the Internet cafe, time quickly came to February.

On February 1st, at three o’clock in the afternoon, Su Muqiu was working normally while playing games in the Internet cafe.

At this time, a girl dragging a suitcase walked in.

The girl is beautiful and elegant, with her black hair tied into a ponytail that swings behind her head, full of youthful vitality.

After he walked into the Internet cafe, he went straight to the bar. Seeing Su Muqiu playing games with his head down, he immediately scolded her, “Hey, you play games at work, be careful or my dad will deduct your salary!”

Your dad?

Su Muqiu looked up in surprise, and saw an exquisite face.

“You are??”

Looking at the face in front of him, Su Muqiu felt that it was somewhat familiar, yet somewhat different.

“My name is Chen Guo, and this Internet cafe belongs to my father.” The girl said with her head held high.

“Are you Chen Guo?”

Su Muqiu was a little surprised.

Su Muqiu had seen Chen Guo before. When Ye Qiu was kicked out of Jia Shi, Su Muqiu also came to Xingxin Internet Cafe. Naturally, he had seen Chen Guo before, and had seen her many times.

But that was Chen Guo seven or eight years later.

At that time, Chen Guo’s skin was not as smooth and white, her temperament was not as youthful and beautiful, and her eyes were not as vigorous as they are now.

Moreover, Chen Guo at that time looked fierce, unlike now, when she is a cute girl who looks super gentle.

The same person, eight years apart, seems like a completely different person.
