Chapter 121 – Chapter 121 Friends
The inside was quite crowded and noisy, as if we went to a PC room with our friends as soon as school ended.
They ranged from people my age, to kids at one school, to kids younger than him who hadn’t even gone through puberty.
In this way, when there are no empty seats left in this wide space, will we be able to play the game, which was our original goal?
The idea came to me first that even if we were to play a game, we could do it after sitting far away from each other.
Fortunately, however, three seats in one corner with what appeared to be not-so-perfect computers were suitably empty.
It is full of bodies that emit colorful lights in a transparent case, but the body here is neither transparent nor emits light.
The monitor is also much smaller and looks older, so I wonder if there is a seat left.
Still, there are seats, but you can’t leave the internet cafe just because it doesn’t look good.
Eventually, we sat down side by side and turned on the computer.
However, even though he came to the internet cafe, he had no idea whether or not Cheol-yong was playing the games we were playing.
If we don’t play the game we play, it will be a big problem.
“Hey, Cheol-yong. But are you playing this game?”
Point to a game icon and ask Cheol-yong, who is sitting next to you.
“That? Of course I do.”
“I guess so.”
It came back with a positive answer.
Fortunately, Cheol-yong played this game.
No, I have no choice but to do it
It’s popular all over the world, and it’s also hugely popular in Korea, so if I didn’t play this game in my school days, I couldn’t engage in more than half of my conversations with my friends.
So even if you don’t like it, it’s a game you have to play if you want to hang out with your friends.
“Where’s the line?”
“Me? It’s the top.”
“Uh. A top recruit.”
“A top recruit. I’ll show you what I carry. Come on in.”
Glance. I looked at Cheol-yong’s monitor.
I was able to check his tier because he was in the personal information section.
It’s bronze
Bronze 2 as well.
I would like to be in the top 80-90%. Tear was so cute compared to his sturdy physique and formidable impression.
“Are you bronze?”
“I’m not good at ranked games, so my tier is bronze. My skill is play.”
“It’s cute though.”
As I proudly revealed my tier, Cheol-yong opened his eyes wide.
“Diamond?”
It was remade, and there were a lot of changes, so it took quite a while to get used to, but my game skills didn’t go anywhere.
With undisturbed skills. From my point of view, diamonds were very easy to get in the current game, which has been leveled down overall.
“This is what the top 1% of the tier is.”
The difference between me and Cheol-yong is like heaven and earth.
But the important thing.
“I’m… Chae, Challenger!”
Jaehyun is the Challenger.
Jaehyun, who had been listening to it in silence, had something to say for the first time, and hurriedly dropped his rank.
“Crazy.”
Cheol-yong couldn’t contain his astonishment.
At this age, Challenger was being accepted like a celebrity to kids who were obsessed with the game.
That’s why Cheol-yong was slightly ignoring Jae-hyun, who was really short, petite, and timid, but now that he revealed his tier, he felt like a real man for the first time.
After all, there is no real man like a good gamer.
“Let’s go. Let’s play the game right away.”
I decided to stop bragging about my tier and start playing the game right away.
What we’re going to do is a free ranked game. Aka pride.
Low tiers can easily go to high tiers, and it’s a mess where high tiers come down to lower tiers, but this was nothing short of playing with friends.
“What… Are you meeting Diamond…”
Cheol-yong, who went over to the loading window after picking the top Timo, frowned at all the people with diamond rims.
He showed signs of discomfort at the fact that only he had no borders.
“Don’t worry. I’ll carry you.”
To be honest, if I play more games, I could go all the way to Master, but I just don’t play because it’s annoying.
So, I was confident enough to carry the diamond no matter how hard it ran.
Of course, before that, the challenger, Jaehyun, would take care of it.
Anyway, after all the loading that felt long, I moved on to the in-game.
One minute, five minutes, more than ten minutes passed.
Because of the existence of the game itself and the overwhelming existence of representation, of course, the game tilted in our direction.
However.
“Ah. Fuck. You idiot. What are you doing?!”
It’s a game that I’ve already won, so I’m playing while playing.
Jaehyun, who was sitting next to me, cursed at me.
Exactly, that’s what I said to the character I’m playing.
“…”
Blankly. I took my eyes off the screen and looked at Jaehyun.
My appearance, height, body, etc. Are below average, so I had no idea that Jaehyun, who is kind and cute, would change like this while playing games.
Look at the expression he’s making now.
It was so formidable that even Cheol-yong, who at first saw it and doubted that he was the same age as me, could overcome it with his expression.
“Ahhh! Jjom! Seriously!”
Anger at Cheol-yong’s repeated mistakes led to him kicking under the table.
The tables were thumping and crying, and we could catch glimpses of people playing games in front of us whispering.
The kid was so immersed in the game that he was excited.
“Jaehyun. Jaehyun.”
I called him urgently.
“Yes?”
As soon as his gaze fell from the screen, he became timid, and absurdity came.
Is this why gaming is a disease?
“It’s just a game. It’s free. You’ve already won.”
“Ah… Mi, sorry.”
Hearing my words, Jaehyun belatedly realized what he had done and apologized.
“It’s okay. You can.”
I too have been like that.
When I was younger, gaming took precedence over studying, so if I was defeated and demoted during a ranked game, I would get angry.
But it wasn’t that bad.
“Calm down. Calm down.”
“Okay…”
I’ll calm down a bit now
“Ah! Shivaaal!”
Bang.
But it didn’t get better at all.
After a while, she cursed again and kicked under the table.
Do kids know that playing games is like this?
Is that why you refused to go to the internet cafe?
It couldn’t have been a valid guess.
“No… Mr.”
“It’s filthy noisy…”
“Why are you wearing that?”
The people around them frowned at the excessive noise and said in unison.
I wanted to say something in my heart, but stopped right away when I saw Cheol-yong’s faintly peeping face.
“Haa… Jaehyun…”
That moment when I was about to call Jaehyun with a deep sigh.
“Hey.”
Someone came up to Jaehyun and tapped her on the shoulder and spoke to her.
“Yes…?”
Jaehyun, who suddenly looked timid, took his gaze.
“I can understand why it can be noisy when playing games with friends, but please stop kicking under…”
The man who suppressed what he wanted to hit and said it, but when he caught Cheol-yong’s gaze, he immediately became polite and came to protest.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry. This is why I only play games…”
Fortunately, I knew myself.
From now on, I vowed not to come to PC bangs with my kids.
“Haa… Please be careful…”
I turned around, thinking that since I said this myself, I would calm down.
However.
“Ugh…! Ugh…! This… Lose this? This?”
Cheol-yong’s poop and the other two’s poop poured out exponentially, making it impossible for Jaehyun and me to cover.
Jaehyun lets out a strange sound and bites at dog bubbles.
Bang.
Kicked under the table.
“Hey. Stop kicking.”
Now I was annoyed, and I was getting angry.
What game are you risking your life for?
Is this how you become a challenger?
“Sorry…”
If I say it, it will be quiet for a while, but it is clear that there will be another commotion again, so I am deeply worried about whether I should just finish the game now and leave.
“For now… Stay.”
I came here to play the game for fun, but it was just a nuisance.
Because of us Thinking of the people who must have been annoyed by Jaehyun, I couldn’t bear to leave.
So I got up and headed to the counter, picked up the sweets on display, and paid the bill.
“Ah… Thank you.”
“No. We’re more sorry.”
We handed them out to the people sitting around us.
When I received snacks and drinks, I felt that my uncomfortable mind was relieved to some extent at the bright appearance.
“Come on. Eat.”
“Oh. Thanks.”
After giving it to Cheol-yong and Jae-hyun, they sat down.
I was about to tell him to stop now because he couldn’t cause any more damage.
“Go quickly.”
“…?”
Cheol-yong urged the game to continue.
Do more?
“No?”
“No… More?”
“It’s the third edition?”
It is.
I didn’t come to the PC room just to play three games.
In terms of time, it was close to two hours.
It’s almost six o’clock, but he said he’d buy me dinner.
Ah. I don’t know.
“Yes, turn it.”
Turned the game
It was the first pick I could pick, so I chose a champion first and then headed to the bathroom.
After lightly weighing him down, he goes back to his seat.
“Yo. Come on.”
Chaeyeon sits in my seat and eats the snacks I used to eat. I was drinking with my mouth on the drink I was drinking.
“What.”
I don’t know why the kid is here.
How did you even know we were here in the first place?
“What is it?”
In response to my question, Chaeyeon gave a beautiful smile and said this silently.
That’s your third girlfriend.
I was the only one who understood her mute words.
