After school in the afternoon, Ye Chen and Zhang Rui sent Xia Muxi home together before heading straight to the newly opened arcade that Zhang Rui mentioned.
With the rapid development of home game consoles and computer games, the glory of arcade games in the 1990s had begun to decline.
However, in a small town where computers were not yet common, the arcade was still very popular. After all, there were all kinds of novel machines, such as dance machines, basketball machines, racing game machines, and so on.
When the two of them walked into the arcade, they realized that almost all the popular machines were occupied. There were still many people waiting behind them.
"We're late. There are too many people.”
Zhang Rui scratched his head and said in distress.
"Just take a look!"
Ye Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder. He was only here to reminisce about the past. He was not really interested in these games.
"I'll go find the boss to exchange coins.”
Zhang Rui took out a twenty-dollar bill and ran to the counter.
Ye Chen walked around the arcade.
Apart from some youths from society, there were also many students. Most of them came from the two middle schools in the town. There were also a few elementary school students like them.
"Big Ear Liu, your skills are not good. Let me do it!”
"Get lost!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen heard a familiar nickname. He looked in the direction of the voice in surprise.
Sure enough, it was his first bucket of gold, Liu Laifu.
In his previous life, after Liu Laifu won the lottery, he quickly bought a Mercedes-Benz and drove around the town with beautiful women all day to show off.
In 2005, the population of West Bridge Town was only 10,000 to 20,000. There were not many luxury cars in total, so it could be said to be quite eye-catching.
Ye Chen had seen Liu Laifu a few times back then. He still remembered his wretched appearance, especially his strangely large ears. He would definitely not be mistaken.
At this moment, Liu Laifu was sitting in front of a coin pushing machine with a small basket of game coins beside him. He was yelling at the young man with blonde hair who had his arm around his shoulder.
"Brother Fei, what's wrong?"
Zhang Rui ran over with a small bag of game coins and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing."
Ye Chen smiled.
"Oh, let's go play. I saw that the Three Kingdoms War machine was empty. There's an event today. It's 20 yuan and 50 game coins.”
Zhang Rui said happily.
Ye Chen did not even bother to attack him. With his skills, he would not be able to play for long.
After that, the two of them played a few arcade games and the basketball machine.
Ye Chen had been keeping an eye on Liu Laifu.
After playing for about an hour, there were only a few Game Coins left in Zhang Rui's exchange. At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly saw Liu Laifu getting up and preparing to leave.
"Zhang Rui, I have something to do. Are you coming with me or?”
Ye Chen hurriedly said to Zhang Rui.
"Ah, we're leaving now!"
Zhang Rui looked at the remaining game coins in his hand and shook his head."Then Brother Fei, you go ahead. I'll play for a while more.”
"Alright, then you must go back before dark.”
Ye Chen warned in a serious tone.
"Don't worry!"
Zhang Rui nodded and promised.
Ye Chen did not say anything else and followed Liu Laifu out of the arcade.
Big Ear Liu must have lost a lot of Game Coins. He was not in a good mood. He walked on the road with his hands in his pockets and cursed. Ye Chen could hear him clearly from more than ten meters away.
Ye Chen was not sure if Liu Laifu had bought the lottery ticket today, but he was prepared to follow him for the next few days.
However, to his surprise, Liu Laifu stopped at the entrance of a lottery shop and turned around.
Ye Chen suppressed his excitement and jogged over to the lottery shop.
The lottery shop wasn't big, about 20 square meters. A few old lottery players were sitting there discussing the trend of the lottery numbers for this issue.
"Yo, Big Ear Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Where did you get rich?”
The boss was a bald middle-aged man. He couldn't help but tease Liu Laifu when he saw him.
" Rich my ass. I went to the newly opened arcade today, intending to make a fortune. That boss is too evil. He definitely adjusted the machine and caused me to lose a lot. Damn it, I'm not going there anymore."”
Liu Laifu grumbled unhappily and then said to the boss,"Just like before, give me five chances.”
"Money!"
The boss smiled and stretched out his hand.
"F * ck, do you think I owe you this little money? I'll record it first!"
"I'm sorry, this is a small business and we don't accept credit.”
“艹! Old Xu, you're too damn stingy. I'm your regular customer.”
"Who would buy lottery tickets on credit? If we hit the jackpot, will it be yours or mine?”
The boss said unhappily.
After entering the shop, Ye Chen stood there quietly. When he heard this, he could not help but sigh.
The boss would probably regret it in the future. If he really borrowed the ten yuan, even if Liu Laifu won the prize in the end, he could still fight for a share.
"Damn it, you win."
Liu Laifu cursed and searched his pockets. In the end, he only found four coins.
The boss and the old lottery players looked at him with mocking eyes.
"Make two bets!"
Liu Laifu was already used to such gazes. He slapped the four yuan on the counter with a cold face.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
The boss put the money into the counter and gave him a lottery ticket.
