Chapter 2 Close Friends

Afeng is called, whose real name is Chang Feng. He is my roommate and good friend in the same dormitory in college. He is also my "partner-half of living together". He is also a hard-core virtual online game fan. He is extroverted and loves to make friends. When he is free, he likes to talk about his experience of playing games with people around him. He talks in a constant manner and often talks for several hours. Over time, people who are familiar with him see him like wolves and fear them like tigers. When he sees him, he avoids them only when he talks about games. The reason why we two become good friends is mainly because I am introverted and don’t like to make friends with others on their own initiative, but they are still very enthusiastic about those who actively come into contact with me. As long as they are not narcissistic or have autism, no one will be willing to be a lonely person. Everyone needs friends in life!

I wouldn't refuse, and I became a loyal listener of A Feng. When I was in a good mood, I would chat with him. Friendship slowly became established. Some of the limited information about the game in my memory was obtained from A Feng. If I can't afford it, I will always pay no money to listen. Sharing other people's happiness can also make you happy. I always think that this is a true friend. Of course, another half sentence is needed to be considered complete: share other people's pain and do my best to help resolve it. Among the meaning of friends, the most precious and difficult thing to do should be this half sentence.

Back at my residence, Afeng had not come back yet. After graduating from college, I came to Pengcheng together and made an appointment to work together here to strive for something. Unfortunately, the cruel reality made that vow destined to become a broken dream. Two years have passed, and I still have nothing to do, running around every day just to seek an opportunity. Afeng is better than me, relying on his sweet words and slick language, he has found a salesperson position in a trading company for cleverness. The job is relatively simple, and his salary is naturally not high. In addition, Afeng has to spend part of the game, and his income can only barely make a living. The boiling blood of the past has long cooled down, and a hot heart is getting colder and colder.

Master, PhD, returnee from overseas study, graduates of key universities; I am good at talking to everyone and have a good attitude towards things; I have nothing to do with "hardware" and "software", so why should I compete with others? Even if I put down my self-esteem and work as a migrant worker, look at my thin body, I am afraid that no one will use me.

I sat on the sofa in the living room and flipped through the "Virtual Online Game" I picked up, but I felt upset again. I didn't care about it carefully, so I raised my hand and threw it on the tea table, laying on the sofa, and was worried, thinking hard about where the road was.

I don’t know how long it took, but a sound of the door opening woke me up. Afeng came back. To be honest, compared to me who was not good-looking and had nothing to do, this kid was really a talented person. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, and was quite well-proportioned. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a smile that always hung on his face, giving people a feeling of being close. It is said that in order to solidify this expression, Afeng sat foolishly in front of the mirror for three months. It was too flattering and too light and had no effect. He worked hard. Afeng is very popular, has many friends, and is still good at making a living in the company. If he hadn’t focused too much on the game, he had invested a lot of time and energy in it, and considering that he did not have enough work, he would have been promoted long ago.

"Ah Dai, how is it today? Is there any news?" Ah Feng asked while changing his shoes.

Don't get me wrong. My name is Li Dai, but it's not Li Dai. I don't know when A Feng watched an old movie "A Dai Birthday" online, introducing everyone to watch it, so the "A Dai" mentioned by everyone became "A Dai". Naturally, I resisted and tried my best to suppress it for a few days. However, the power of the masses was huge. My little wave was quickly buried in the vast ocean, and I had to give up struggling and let it go. After all, A Dai was also a young master. It was much better than me, a poor boy, and it was not considered as a humiliating me.

I sighed and said nothing, day after day, day after day, I really don’t know what to do.

Afeng walked up to me and sat down, saying as usual, "Don't be discouraged, we must believe in ourselves. Now it is just that the time has not come. What we lack is an opportunity, an opportunity that allows us to play, and our tomorrow will be better."

I nodded silently. If Afeng hadn't been enlightening and motivating me and cheering me up these days, I would have really couldn't stand it anymore. I had been mentally prepared for unemployment, but the long-term unemployment was really unacceptable. I had not had a job for several months. Am I really useless and could not even guarantee basic survival?

Afeng patted my shoulder, "Adai, don't think too much, just look for it, don't worry, as long as I, Afeng, eat, you will never be hungry. I have sold all the equipment in "Legend of Time and Space". I gave it a handful and it should be comfortable for two days."

I was stunned. "Legend of Time and Space" is a popular virtual online game in the past two years. It is said to have more than 70 million players in the world's population of more than 7 billion. Afeng's account is quite awesome, with a few famous equipment on it. It can be said that it is at its peak. How could he wash his hands and stop playing? Does he really want the prodigal son to turn back, turn back to the right, and give up showing off his life plan in the world of virtual games and planning development?

I shook my head. According to his usual words and deeds, this was impossible. After a change of eyes, I accidentally saw the "Virtual Online Game" magazine on the table. I recalled his repeated praise and hard work of praising and forgetting to eat and sleep these days, as if I understood something, "Are you going to play "The World" instead?"

"It turns out that the parents who gave birth to me are the ones who knew me are Ah Dai!"

I was puzzled, "Although the promotion of "Tianxia" is very popular, I didn't say clearly when the test will be completed, and I don't know when it will be put into operation? "Legend of Time and Space" has taken a lot of effort and is still the most popular virtual online game at present, so you are really willing to give up."

A Feng scoffed at my question, "Asiders are laymen, and do not understand the trend of the market. The so-called prosperity and decline, the old generation will gradually be replaced by the new generation. Although "Legend of Time and Space" is still incredible on the surface, it is already nearly dusk and there will be no big development. The launch of "Tianxia" indirectly accelerates its decline. More advanced and real virtual simulation technology, more powerful game developers and unique new game designs. Experienced players will definitely know what these represent. Taking advantage of the current price of equipment is reasonable and it is more cost-effective to exit. After a while, "Tianxia" has determined the launch date. "Legend of Time and Space" will really become a legend. At that time, if you want to sell equipment, it will be worthless."

Then he sighed, "It's a pity that most of the money I got has to be invested in the new game. After playing for so many years, I don't know when I can get some top-quality equipment and make a fortune. Alas, I hope "The World" can bring me good luck and fulfill my dreams for decades. I have a beauty in my hands, haha!"
