Silicon Invasion

There weren't many people in the restaurant today, so the food came out quickly.

At a little past eleven, Liu Yu arrived at the barbecue restaurant. Luo Rui had already eaten nearly two hundred skewers of grilled meat and a dozen grilled pancakes.

But this didn't affect Luo Rui's fighting power at all.

"Today, I, along with Brother Wuming, have come to a barbecue restaurant with quite a history. Little Yu remembers this place being here since she was a child, and nearly twenty years have passed, it's still the same as it was back then."

"Let me show you the outside. Little Yu has never seen such a downpour in her life. When I was in the taxi just now, the driver had the wipers on full blast, but he still couldn't see the road clearly."

"Don't be afraid, our drainage..."

"There was a traffic jam on the way, and Brother Wuming couldn't wait, so he started eating first. But barbecue tastes best when it's hot, let's count the skewers together and see how much he secretly ate."

"Thank you..."

The bad weather didn't affect the live broadcast. Luo Rui was still focused on eating and drinking as always. Liu Yu was babbling on the side. Perhaps knowing that Luo Rui was about to start school and this collaboration was coming to an end, Liu Yu was putting in extra effort these days.

But today Luo Rui could only apologize. His dad had an appointment, and he had to be on time. Fortunately, the program was scheduled earlier today, so it wouldn't have much of an impact. At 12:40, Luo Rui, carrying ten pounds of packed barbecue, bid farewell to the young lady and plunged back into the rain.

In Dongmu County, heavy rain used to be a brief affair. The heavier the rain, the shorter it lasted. Today's situation was rare.

Moreover, the wind was super strong. He didn't notice it when the wind was at his back on the way to the barbecue restaurant, but going back against the wind was really a pain. The bean-sized raindrops hit Luo Rui so hard that he couldn't lift his head. He could only desperately clutch the collar of his raincoat with both hands to prevent rainwater from pouring inside.

Unfortunately, he could only protect his upper body, leaving his lower body exposed. The raincoat was blown backward by the wind, flapping loudly. Not only was his lower body completely soaked, but even a large part of his stomach was exposed. Fortunately, the people on the road were too busy taking care of themselves at this time, otherwise, Luo Rui would have suffered a great loss if his innocent body had been seen.

The bag containing the barbecue was hanging on his elbow, and the ten pounds of weight was a huge burden at this time, but he couldn't throw it away, he spent more than two hundred yuan to buy it.

Fortunately, Luo Rui had the foresight to put several layers of bags on it in the store, so at least he didn't have to worry about water getting in. As for it getting cold, that wasn't a problem, he could just eat it with hot water later.

The trip that took more than ten minutes to get there took nearly half an hour to get back. He first went to Building Six to hide the barbecue, and then hurried home, but he was still a few minutes late.

However, Dad Luo might have guessed that Luo Rui wouldn't be able to get back on time, or he simply hadn't managed his time well, because when Luo Rui entered the house, he was still busy in the kitchen.

After saying hello, Luo Rui went straight to the bathroom. He had to take off his wet clothes quickly, and then take a hot shower to get rid of the chill, otherwise, in this race against time, it would be a loss if he caught a cold.

Five minutes later, Luo Rui had already taken a shower, draped in a blanket, holding a cup of hot water, and comfortably sitting on the sofa, panting. If there were some goji berries in the cup, he would look exactly like a veteran cadre.

His dad's skills were as stable as ever, just like singing, no skills, all emotion. Fortunately, Luo Rui wasn't that picky. No matter whether the food was good or not, as long as the ingredients were real and the taste wasn't too outrageous, he could eat it.

With his stomach full, he couldn't waste any time. Luo Rui prepared himself and went out again, plunging back into the rain.

The disposable raincoat he used in the morning was of poor quality and had already broken. Fortunately, there was still a pile in the basement, and this time the road was very short, so there were no problems.

However, the wind was still too strong. Even though the road wasn't far, Luo Rui's pants were still wet. Fortunately, he was prepared and brought spare clothes.

In fact, it didn't matter if he didn't change. There were no windows in the basement, so no one would care if he didn't wear anything. However, wearing the anti-G suit like that was not only a bit tight, but also chafed his legs.

He logged into the game with practiced ease. The mail icon in the upper right corner of the virtual screen was flashing frantically. Although he had never seen this icon light up when playing regional network games before, Luo Rui, with his experience in other games, could still guess its function.

"Could it be that someone admired my heroic posture yesterday and sent a message to ask to be friends?"

Luo Rui thought shamelessly.

But after clicking on it, his complacent expression changed slightly.

"What trash, running over here to fish in troubled waters?"

"Are you too inferior in reality, so you come to the game to find a sense of existence?"

"Showing off a little bit of skill, what's the big deal?"

"..."

The content of the messages was similar, and some of them used even more flowery language. The general meaning was to accuse him of showing off in the newbie area.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After reading a few, Luo Rui's expression returned to normal. While reporting and deleting the messages, he pondered that this was probably the first tribulation for a master to debut in the martial arts world.

Fortunately, it was now a high-tech society, and some things didn't have to be endured. After selecting "Reject messages from strangers" in the settings, Luo Rui regained his mood and entered the practice again.

In "Ace Pilot", 2200 points is a threshold. It's filled with a large number of players who have a very high number of games, but can't take the next step due to their own talent. They are jokingly called "gatekeepers" by the players.

Because these guys have been immersed in this segment for many years, although their hard skills are not good, they have mastered a unique skill through practice.

However, this is only the first threshold. Everyone's unique skills are similar, and they are all improved versions of the "one-trick pony" through delays, feints, and other means.

Although these moves have been strengthened in terms of concealment and suddenness, not only can they be used against novices, but even some veteran players can capsize in the gutter if they are not careful, but in the final analysis, they are still some relatively rigid routines.

Because of the lack of on-the-spot flexibility, Luo Rui, with his extraordinary reaction, doesn't find these moves to be much of a threat after being prepared. It's like a master who has mastered the art of no moves, breaking into a group of players who only know how to perform routine punches. The battle process may be full of ups and downs, but the result will not be any different.

However, these players are not useless. Their whimsy of immersing themselves in one move for a long time and trying to make it stronger often opens Luo Rui's eyes.

Sometimes Luo Rui would even deliberately let the opponent complete the routine before solving it. Although Luo Rui himself didn't realize it, some players felt that this was teasing. Fortunately, Luo Rui wisely turned off stranger messages, otherwise he would definitely be bombarded with beautiful language again tomorrow.

Luo Rui easily crossed the first threshold that plagued many players, but it took much longer than before.

As a result, Luo Rui only went from 2100 points to 2280 points in the entire afternoon.
