"More than ten years …"
Jiang Liu felt that there was a deeper meaning hidden in the other party's words.
She remembered that in ancient myths and legends, those gods used the reason that heaven's secrets could not be revealed and talked about mysterious things. They never explained things clearly and let others understand by themselves. Was the owner of this Internet cafe the same?
Could it be that he wanted to use the Internet to secretly convey the heaven's secrets to her?
Jiang Liu faintly felt that she understood and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, boss, what kind of experience can I get by surfing the Internet here?"
Liu Haoming was silent and his expression was slightly strange.
What kind of experience can I get by surfing the Internet?
Isn't surfing the Internet just playing games, watching TV, or looking up information? Do you want to go to heaven by surfing the Internet?
Jiang Liu saw that the owner of the Internet cafe did not say a word and felt that he was even more mysterious. Surfing the Internet here was definitely different from surfing the Internet in an ordinary Internet cafe!
"My Internet cafe has the current most popular online games and movie resources. As for the experience, you definitely won't be bored." Liu Haoming replied.
"Okay! Then I'll surf the Internet! "Jiang Liu decisively agreed.
Liu Haoming nodded. "Give me your ID card first. I'll register."
Jiang Liu just took the train from her hometown to school today, so she brought her ID card with her. At this time, she took it out of her pocket and respectfully handed it over with both hands.
"Jiang Liu … quite a nice name."
Liu Haoming silently read the name marked on the ID card and found that the girl was four years younger than him. No wonder she looked so young.
Liu Haoming took the ID card and swiped it through the card reader. While operating the Internet cafe system, he asked, "How long do you want to surf the Internet?"
After a pause, he added, "If you have a lot of time, I suggest you book it for the night. It's cheaper."
He hoped that Jiang Liu would book it for the night so that he could accompany him more. To be honest, it was really lonely to stay up all night in the Internet cafe. It would feel different if someone accompanied him.
"En, en, then I'll book it for the night!"
Since the boss suggested it, Jiang Liu would certainly listen.
"Twelve yuan for the night, from now to eight tomorrow morning. Do you … pay in cash or scan the code?"
When it came to the Internet fee, Liu Haoming, as the boss, actually became nervous. It was purely because of the shadow left by the previous customers.
Jiang Liu couldn't be like Xia Wan 'an and Luo Xiaolu, who didn't bring money and wanted to go for free!
"Cash!"
Fortunately, the other party's answer made him heave a sigh of relief.
Jiang Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that this mysterious and terrifying immortal boss's charge would be so cheap. It was only 12 yuan for a night.
This made her even more certain that the boss wanted to use the Internet to convey the Heavenly Secrets to her, so he set the threshold so low. He didn't expect to make money at all. Twelve yuan was probably just a symbolic charge, a formality.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu took out 12 yuan from his pocket and was about to hand it over when suddenly —
She had never expected an accident to happen!
At this moment, the life essence in her body was like a flood from a leak valve, crazily rushing towards the banknotes in her hand.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Liu had an epiphany. These banknotes had condensed 120 years of her lifespan, and she had forever lost 120 years of her lifespan!
"How could this be?!"
Jiang Liu was horrified.
The 12 yuan that the boss of the internet cafe said represented 120 years of his lifespan!
That was 120 years of lifespan. Once he lost it, wouldn't he die immediately?
Jiang Liu was terrified. She knew that the Heavenly Secrets couldn't be revealed, but the price she had to pay was too heavy, so heavy that she couldn't bear it.
At this time, Liu Haoming took the 12 yuan from her hand. As if he was afraid that she would regret it, he immediately tapped on the keyboard.
"I've opened the computer for you. It's the number one computer."
Liu Haoming pointed at the computer in front of him and said with a smile.
Today was finally a profitable day for the internet cafe. It wasn't easy.
Jiang Liu's lips moved. She wanted to say something but stopped.
In the end, she nodded gently, "Okay, thank you boss."
"You're welcome. I wish you a pleasant internet experience."
Jiang Liu's expression was complicated, but she didn't say anything more. She turned around and walked towards the number one computer. She had accepted her fate.
The loss of 120 years of lifespan was a foregone conclusion. Even if she regretted it now, the boss of the internet cafe probably wouldn't give it back to her.
Moreover, no one could escape death in life. Some people's death was as heavy as Mount Tai, and some people's death was as light as a feather. If the boss of the internet cafe hadn't brought her here, she would've been silently killed by the fake Chen Xin and the dormitory manager, just like the real Chen Xin.
Therefore, she should thank the boss of the internet cafe. At least, the boss gave her a more meaningful way to die.
"Let me see what kind of Heavenly Secrets are hidden in the internet cafe that I've spent 120 years of my lifespan."
Jiang Liu thought to herself. She pulled out the gaming chair and sat in front of the number one computer. She pressed the power button.
After knowing that she was going to die, she gradually calmed down. As the saying goes, facing death with equanimity. She had nothing to be afraid of.
Now, she just wanted to know what the fake Chen Xin and the dormitory manager were before she died. She wanted to know if there were many existences like them in Shuntian Prefecture, and how to deal with them.
The computer screen lit up. After a few flashes, it had completed the boot step and entered the original desktop.
Jiang Liu held the mouse and was about to operate it when the screen suddenly changed. Suddenly, a game interface jumped out automatically.
The interface showed the night view of Shuntian Prefecture. Jiang Liu recognized at a glance that there were dozens of huge flying saucers floating in the air.
[Welcome to the Civilization Invasion game.]
A row of subtitles slowly appeared on the screen.
Jiang Liu was stunned.
[Civilization Invasion?]
She didn't know why, but she suddenly thought of aliens.
The dozens of flying saucers in the air also looked like alien spaceships in science fiction movies.
[Please put on your headphones.]
Another row of subtitles appeared.
Jiang Liu obediently did as she was told. She reached out and took the earpiece that was half the size of her face. The moment she put it on, Jiang Liu felt a strong suction force on her soul. She almost lost consciousness in an instant, and her vision fell into darkness.
…
…
When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was no longer in the internet cafe. Instead, she was in a strange blue space. There was a faint fluorescent light everywhere.
[You have entered the game. Please select your character's gender.]
[Male.]
[Female.]
[Intersex.]
A row of screens popped up on her retina.
Jiang Liu was very surprised. She didn't understand what game she had entered. Could it be the legendary VR virtual reality game?
Combined with the game interface she just saw, Jiang Liu couldn't help but think more. After a moment of contemplation, she made a bold guess.
"Could it be that the internet cafe boss wants me to go online so that I can experience reality in the form of a VR game?"
