Su Xiang's apprentice also stayed, and the three of them started drinking directly behind the counter.
Seeing this, Xiao Sanmao stopped playing games, went out, and brought another case of beer in, wanting to have a drink until they were all drunk with them.
As the three were chatting, Xiao Xun's phone rang, and his heart pounded with the ringtone.
He took it out and saw that it was his long-awaited cousin who had called.
Xiao Sanmao was very curious and moved his head over, "Who is it? Why aren't you answering?" Xiao Xun quickly hung up, "Debt collection."
Xiao Sanmao picked up a bottle and clinked it with Xiao Xun, "These guys are so annoying, they don't let anyone have peace even at night."
A moment later, his cousin called again.
Xiao Sanmao reached out to Xiao Xun, "Come on, Brother Xiao, give me your phone, I'll curse them for you."
The internet cafe manager grabbed Xiao Sanmao's hand and said with a serious expression, "Don't meddle in other people's business. If you don't answer, they'll just keep calling. If you curse them, they might 'explode' your contact list."
Xiao Sanmao's hand shot back as if shocked, "Oh, really!"
Xiao Xun directly silenced his phone and chose not to answer.
"Let's not think about these annoying things. Come on, cheers!"
As Xiao Xun raised his bottle, the other two also raised theirs, and the sound of glass bottles clinking echoed from behind the counter.
Xiao Sanmao rubbed his belly, "Brother Xiang, your boss knows we're drinking and eating meat behind the counter like this?"
Su Xiang shrugged, "The surveillance cameras here are all networked. If he watches, he'll know; if he doesn't, he won't."
Xiao Xun became worried, "If he sees it, won't he say anything to you?"
"It doesn't matter. If he wants me to do it, I'll do it for a few days. If he doesn't want me to, I'll find other work." He said, raising the bottle again.
Before long, it was ten o'clock, and people started coming in one after another to book overnight stays.
Since his apprentice was present, Su Xiang naturally didn't let his master do the work. So, Su Xiang, Xiao Xun, and Xiao Sanmao continued drinking and chatting while his apprentice busied himself for a while.
Xiao Sanmao glanced at Xiao Xun, then at Su Xiang, "Brother Xiang, where are you planning to make a fortune next?"
"What fortune? After working as an internet cafe manager for so many years, I haven't learned any technical skills, nor have I saved any capital. They call me an internet cafe manager, but I'm no different from a security guard. It's better to be a security guard, earning the same and having an easier job. If that doesn't work, it's better to monitor surveillance for someone than to be here."
Xiao Sanmao suddenly stood up, holding his bottle with both hands, "Brother Xiang, I will miss you."
Su Xiang was confused by Xiao Sanmao's sudden and inexplicable outburst, "You brat, I'm just changing jobs, not moving abroad. Why are you making such a fuss? Sit down."
Xiao Sanmao tilted his head back and emptied the wine in the bottle. Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang again.
The three of them looked at Xiao Xun simultaneously. Xiao Xun indicated that his phone was already silenced.
Xiao Sanmao then realized it was his phone and quickly took it out, "Sorry! It's mine, mine."
Then he pressed the answer button, and his expression gradually turned sly, "Hello! Vice-captain? You've arrived, where are you? Right at the entrance of the internet cafe, come in then! I'm drinking at the counter." After speaking, he hung up the phone.
He patted Xiao Xun on the shoulder, "Brother Xiao, the person who wants to buy your account is here."
As they were talking, the sound of a motorcycle engine shutting off came from outside the internet cafe's entrance, reminding Xiao Xun of the 'speeding' 'sports bike' from the afternoon.
A long-haired beauty in a black leather jacket, carrying a backpack, walked in with her motorcycle helmet.
Before she could even see anyone after entering, she started complaining, "This crappy internet cafe is too hard to find? I went back and forth on this street and the next street, and finally saw it."
Xiao Sanmao waved at the long-haired beauty and whispered to Xiao Xun beside him, "Brother Xiao, isn't she beautiful!"
Xiao Xun looked at the approaching long-haired beauty, she was truly fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, a well-proportioned figure, and great temperament.
"Vice-captain, this is the person who wants to sell his account. He's in the same district as us, and it's even a beta account."
The long-haired beauty looked at Xiao Xun, "Is the account yours?"
He nodded and said confidently, "Of course."
The long-haired beauty asked expressionlessly, "Why are you selling it?"
Xiao Sanmao quickly smoothed things over, "I know the reason, but it's not convenient to say. But the account definitely belongs to him, I guarantee it, not a single problem."
The long-haired beauty placed her helmet on the counter, "Then how much do you plan to sell it for?"
Xiao Sanmao held up two fingers, "We discussed it in our team's 'room,' two thousand."
"The game is in a slump now, and accounts of similar quality can't even be sold for a thousand. Why should he sell it for two thousand, just because it's a beta account? Now 'Great Leader' accounts are everywhere, beta accounts are worthless."
The long-haired beauty rested her hands on the counter, "How about this! I've seen the screenshots of the account's performance. Let's have a match. Your account will be valued at one thousand five. We'll set three rounds. If you win one, I'll add one hundred; if you lose one, I'll deduct one hundred. How about it?"
Su Xiang stood up, "Miss, didn't you see that his left arm is injured? Is it not bullying to issue such a challenge at this time?"
The long-haired beauty nodded, "You're right. Let's wait until your injury heals." With that, she prepared to pick up her motorcycle helmet from the counter.
"Wait!" Xiao Xun placed his hand on the motorcycle helmet, looking at the long-haired beauty with spirited eyes, "Let's play a sniper duel. Xiao Sanmao controls the keyboard, and I control the mouse. Can we?"
The long-haired beauty frowned slightly, "Your tone is so arrogant. Do you think you're 'Mad Shark'?"
Xiao Xun looked expressionlessly at the long-haired beauty, "Are you agreeing or not?"
The long-haired beauty withdrew her hand, "There's no reason not to take advantage of a good offer. Since you've said so, everyone present can be a witness."
Then she looked at Su Xiang, "Set up two facing machines for us."
As Su Xiang turned his head, his apprentice nodded at him, "Master, they're ready."
"Please adjust your keyboards and mice for the machines. If there are any issues, we will replace them. Once you feel they are okay, you can create the room."
Hearing Su Xiang say this, the long-haired beauty took down her backpack and patted it gently, "Can I use my own peripherals?"
Xiao Xun snorted, "It seems you came prepared! It looks like you were ready for these three matches from the moment you decided to buy the account! No problem, you can use whatever you want."
Su Xiang knew Xiao Xun's abilities, so he said to the long-haired beauty, "In principle, for fairness, it's not allowed. But since my brother said it's okay, then you can do as you please!"
The long-haired beauty laughed twice, "Little handsome, you will pay for your arrogance. Don't cry later!" With that, she threw her helmet into Su Xiang's hand, "Keep an eye on it for me."
The internet cafe manager grabbed Xiao Sanmao, "How good is your vice-captain at playing?"
Xiao Sanmao gave a thumbs-up, "Very skilled. Even ordinary professional players might not be her match. Besides being our team's vice-captain, she also formed a women's team specifically for competitions."
Su Xiang looked at Xiao Xun with concern, worried that the account would be sold cheaply, "You drank so much just now, are you okay?"
