Chapter 334: Drinkers of the Tiny Pub

The business hours of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were never sufficient for him . It passed soon . On the other side, some people also felt that way .

“Pa Pa Pa” . The MX Soft Tactile keyboard emitted a melodious sound in the darkness . With the brilliant colors shining in the darkness, the keyboard appeared extraordinarily conspicuous .

“Pa”, after going through a series of swift finger movements on the keyboard, a complicated continuous jumping action was completed . Then Zou Hai let out a sigh of relief .

He won!

He could probably get the reward of a grand bonus package next time .

When he saw the words Game Over on the screen, Zou Hai exercised his skilled fingers slightly and felt it necessary for him to offer them a reward .

He prepared a cup of instant coffee for himself and sipped it contentedly . With his eyes and brows stretching out, he was quite relaxed .

“Dong Dong Dong”

A series of cluttered knocks came from the door . Zou Hai knitted his brows subconsciously and went to open the door drowsily after a slight hesitation .

After the door was opened, a forty-year-old man could be seen standing outside .

The crease-free business suit was tidy and neat, without any trace of wrinkles, even the hair clung neatly to his head . Judging from his appearance, he was a very serious man .

“Little Hai, what are you doing recently at home? Still playing online games?” The serious manner of the man made the wrinkles between his eyebrows deeper .

“No, I have stopped playing . It’s not interesting . ” Immediately, Zou Hai answered without any hesitation .

“What do you mean? I told you many times before that it’s not a proper occupation and you should control yourself . But you tell me what you said to me then?” The man looked angrier .

Upon mentioning that, the man felt very angry . Teenagers during the rebellious phase were known to be uncontrollable . If you let him chase after the chicken, he would definitely run after dogs, doing the opposite of what was told .

Unfortunately, Zou Hai was more than 20 years old and had already got out of the rebellion phase . However, he was still disobeying his parents . He had been addicted to online games for the past two years and constantly practiced it, even joining various clubs . He was just in a state of madness .

He didn’t follow anyone’s persuasion and was always indulged in them with the fine-sounding excuse that the

e-sports were promising and they can’t be demonized . Perhaps, he could get a gold medal with the e-sports .

He stuck to that theory firmly . No matter what measures were taken, they wouldn’t work . He just refused to give up until all hope is gone .

Anyway, the online game industry seemed to be booming again suddenly over the past year . Finally, there was something to look forward to and his son could barely make a living out of it as a proper business .

The man comforted himself like that . The perennial headache was likewise relieved slightly . But today when the man called Zou Hai, he suddenly told the man that he would quit online games . The man got irritated again immediately .

“Tell me once again what you told me just now on the phone . Not playing anymore? Weren’t you desperate for my consent?” The man said angrily .

“It’s just not interesting and I don’t want to continue . Didn’t you tell me that online games were all trash?” Zou Hai said carelessly .

He leaned on the door and revealed a lazy manner by putting his left leg on the right leg . Meanwhile, he crossed his arms across the chest and slightly turned up the corner of his mouth, answering his father vaguely in an absent-minded state .

“What bullshit are you brat talking about?” While speaking, the man took a step forward and stared at his son in anger .

Suddenly, a mild voice passed, “Do a father and son really need to talk so aggressively? Can’t you have a good conversation?”

The next moment, they heard footsteps of high-heeled shoes on the ground, “Da Da Da” .

An elegant woman dressed in a beige overskirt walked to them with split steps with some anxiety on her still attractive face .

“Mum, it’s nothing important . Don’t worry . ” Seeing his mum, Zou Hai stood up straight, not seeming as lazy and careless as before .

“Hu”

The woman probably had a weak body . She breathed for an instant before regaining some energy with the help of the man . She then stared at the two people, staying silent after making a discontented “Humph” .

“Little Ya, don’t worry . There’s nothing special . I just have a matter to tell our son . ” The rigid features of the man became soft and even the way he talked slowed down .

“Humph . . . ” Without giving an affirmative or negative answer, Zou Hai just humphed but didn’t retort anymore .

“That’s good, that’s good . Just converse normally, please . ” The woman’s tone of voice was elegant and agreeable, with a unique watery tenderness and softness that comes from the area south of the Yangtze River .

“Please be rest assured . I will return soon . You go first . ”

The man sent the woman to the door of the room and saw her go inside before returning to Zou Hai .

“Little Hai, one of my friends has developed an online game and needs somebody to help . You must go . ” The man hardened his face and said stiffly .

“What game? Just a stuff that wastes time . I won’t go . ” Zou Hai wasn’t satisfied at all and hence answered carelessly .

“No matter what you say, you have to go . You have no other option . ” The man got a little impatient while frowning .

“Let’s talk later . ” Zou Hai answered indifferently .

Regardless of the man’s solemn expression, Zou Hai returned to his own room .

“Peng”

The door was shut immediately . It was a quite different world from outside .

The man pinched the wrinkled eyebrows and sighed secretly . He didn’t say anything else and then left .

Having returned to his own room, Zou Hai looked at the shimmering computer and stayed where he was like a wood, not knowing what he was thinking of .

“It’s no big deal . ” Zou Hai muttered to himself .

“Pi Li Pa La”, the computer keyboard emitted the sound for a while . Staring at the game interface attentively, Zou Hai moved his fingers about on the keyboard like dancing .

The speed was extremely fast . With a simple glance, he could be recognized as a skilled player .

“Di Di Di”

A melodious chord ringtone sounded . Zou Hai got around to look at the phone and then found the name Su Mu appearing on the screen . He hesitated for a little bit and the single-handed skill showed up again .

After a wild finger movement, Zou Hai moved his left hand to the phone . He clicked the screen with the finger and instantly the call was put through .

“Hai, come out and play . I’m very lucky today and have drawn a grand prize . So we can go to Boss Yuan’s place to drink liquor . ” The euphonious voice of Su Mu passed from the other end of the phone, with a trill in the end sound, which made Zou Hai frown .

However, he still asked, “What the hell is this Boss Yuan?”

“It’s very good liquor . Were it not because Sister Jiang did have no time, you would never get this opportunity . ” Su Mu said with a tone of displeasure .

“You can go there alone . I don’t want the honor . I’m so busy . ” Zou Hai answered indifferently .

“You aren’t practicing the APM of various skills, are you? You have maxed them out already . Is there room for any more improvement?” Su Mu was puzzled .

“What are you talking about? I have quit online games long ago,” Zou Hai said firmly .

Looking at the bright screen, Zou Hai fell silent . Nevertheless, the way he talked revealed his indifference to that . Obviously, he spoke without thinking .

“That’s great . Come to No . 14 of Taoxi Road . Remember the place by heart and arrive here at 8:00 p . m . on time . I guarantee you won’t regret coming here . ” After saying that, Su Mu hung off the phone decisively, not caring if Zou Hai agreed at all .
