Chapter 105: My brother-in-law still couldn't defend himself

A long wait will wear out one's patience, and a long wait that gets no response at all is like an invisible beast, slowly devouring one's hope and will.

So after waiting in vain, Lu Mingfei went straight to the Internet cafe. Since he couldn't meet her in real life, he might as well have a romantic encounter online.

He first used a fake identity to register accounts on various gaming platforms, then realized that it was now ten years ago and many of the classic games he played with his wife had not yet been available on PC.

So he went to the console game room again, found a PS3, re-registered his PSN account, looked through all the classic game IPs, and finally chose "Street Fighter" which the couple often played.

This game was only released in arcades last year and on consoles this year. My wife is a socially anxious person and it is impossible for her to fight to her heart's content in an arcade or in front of everyone, so online battles are inevitable.

Lu Mingfei remembered that his wife had said that when this game was released on PS, she was obsessed with it for a long time, and even the game "Samurai Shodown II" that they played most often was forced to be offline.

My eldest brother-in-law also complained about it, saying that she had just arrived abroad at that time and the environment had changed so much that she stayed in her room playing games every day and practiced her skills to perfection.

From then on, the competition between the brother and sister was basically a situation where the elder brother-in-law lost more than he won, and he could also feel that his sister was deliberately letting him win.

In order to restore his dignity as an older brother, after he had dealt with all the matters, he actually stayed at home for more than a month and raised his gaming level to a higher level.

And then he was still beaten.

I don’t know how good the brother-in-law in this world is at gaming. I hope we can have a competition someday.

The console game room is basically not equipped with headphones except for some individual games. Especially for fighting games like Street Fighter, the sound must be played out loud to be enjoyable. Lu Mingfei won five games in a row and easily KOed his opponent, which has attracted a lot of people's attention.

Just like when he went to the Internet cafe in the past, there were many people watching behind him, shouting exclamations such as "Si Gei", "Si Guoyi", "Si Balasi", and "Xing Ji La Nai".

Lu Mingfei paid no attention to the exclamations behind him and started the next game.

"LittleDuck join the game!"

"Little Duck? This name was also registered first. It seems that he is an old player."

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows, thinking that the fact that his opponent could come up with such a cute name meant that he had some strength.

It shouldn't be like those unlucky guys who lost so quickly.

With the narrator saying "fight", the game begins.

Lu Mingfei was a little careless at first. After all, the Godzilla on the opposite side was indeed stronger than the five defeated opponents before, but his strength was limited.

It's something that can be accomplished if you're a little more serious.

But when he finished the first round of fighting, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

As a professional player, even if it's not StarCraft, he can beat most professional fighting game players with his reaction and operation alone.

Even if there are some tricky ones, he can figure out the opponent's moves and operating habits after a brief contact, and take corresponding countermeasures.

However, the little duck on the opposite side was a little different. Although it was the first time he was matched with this opponent, Lu Mingfei felt that he saw through him at the first moment.

Whether it was the duck's attack timing and evasive means, or even the flaws it pretended to reveal, he easily saw through and countered them.

In order to verify whether his perception was wrong, he deliberately let the duck win in the second round. He changed from a cunning old villain to a reckless man who just went for it. He used his violent offensive to successfully test out various details and micro-management habits of the duckling.

In the end, he used up his rage bar at the critical moment and failed to release his ultimate move, and was overturned by Little Duck, dragging the game into the deciding round.

The best-of-three game had not lasted more than two minutes so far, but Lu Mingfei felt that he had figured out his opponent.

This little duck has many small details that resemble the girl who used to have the ID "Godzilla" and fought against herself for six or seven years.

But he wasn't sure, so in the third round he deliberately used a very rogue style of play to win, hoping that the little duck would not get angry and invite him for another game.

In the Japanese-style wooden house, the red-haired shrine maiden sat on the tatami in a duck-like posture, holding the game controller in both hands, pressing it slightly with her slender jade fingers, inviting Sakura to start another game.

Eri was a little unhappy. She felt like she was being treated like a child.

This Sakura is so bad, she is obviously very strong and can win fairly, but she insists on using such a despicable fighting style to disgust people.

For three consecutive rounds, the same hero was used to play three different game styles.

From a fair and open crushing to the suspected beating of an elementary school student, he deliberately disgusted his opponent, which is somewhat like a split personality.

Eri suspected that she was fighting against Muto Yugi, who lost the second game and let Yami Yugi take the field.

Unconvinced, she chose to play another game, but the outcome remained the same. She was crushed in the first game, won by luck in the second, and lost the third game so badly that she felt extremely frustrated.

Looking at the big "KO" on the game interface, she got angry for a moment, then adjusted her sitting position and initiated another battle invitation.

As a serious shut-in, Eri's only two forms of entertainment are games and anime. If she doesn't fight back when someone challenges her in something she's good at, wouldn't that damage her reputation as the head of the Uesugi family?

Although she didn't know what the head of the Uesugi family did, the title sounded very domineering and powerful, so she used it.

I will definitely defeat this Sakura at the cost of the honor of the Uesugi family!

The girl with red hair and red eyes was full of ambition and started her own road of revenge...

An hour later, Eri looked at the big "KO" on the screen and felt so defeated.

A hint of shame and annoyance appeared in the depths of her rosy red eyes, which were originally as calm as a lake. She pressed the handle hard with both hands, inviting Sakura, who had teased her again, to fight again.

However, this time the opponent rejected her. Just as she was about to initiate another battle request, a friend request popped up from the upper right corner of the screen - Sakura applied to add you as a friend.

PS3 is equipped with social functions, including adding friends, checking friends' online status, sending messages, participating in online battles, etc.

But after Eri got this game console, she has never added a friend and has never communicated with others outside of the game.

Looking at the large number of rejected friend requests on the interface, the red-haired girl's eyes moved slightly, and she controlled the game controller to keep the option on reject.

She is not used to communicating with strangers, and even when checking game guides and other players' gaming experiences in the community, she never expresses her own opinions or views.

This Japanese-style wooden house protected by layers of steel gates is like a fortress. No one can hurt her, and it is difficult for her to get out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She is like a little duck that falls into a well. There is water, fish and shrimp here, but the sky she can see is always so small. The only way to peek into the world is through the TV screen.

The man told her that the Internet is a forest full of unknowns and that one should not trust people or words on the Internet easily.

Even if someone shows her kindness, it is often just a carefully laid bait by hunters to entrap ignorant prey.

Once an innocent life is deceived by this appearance and reveals its true self, the hunters will capture it without hesitation.

So, could this guy named Sakura be a "hunter" with malicious intentions?

Eri used her clever little brain to find that this bad guy did not hide his hateful side at all. How could she, who was so smart, be fooled by him?

Besides, I have my brother here, so when I’m unsure of a decision, I can just ask him for help in analyzing the situation.

Thinking this way, she decisively chose to agree.

The fish is hooked!

Seeing that his friend request was approved, Lu Mingfei excitedly swung his fist with such force that it even caused a whistling sound like a strong wind.

Fortunately, he had just deliberately played a trick on the duckling and aroused public outrage, and now there was no one watching behind him.

I tried hard to control my facial muscles and stay calm, but the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up wildly.

Lu Mingfei really didn't expect that even in a different world, his brother-in-law still couldn't successfully defend himself.

In his previous life, at a wedding, the eldest brother-in-law drank a few too many glasses, and it was unclear whether he was scolding him or complaining. He said that if he was given a chance to do it again, he would definitely be more cautious and not let Lu Mingfei succeed so easily.

As a result, the defense was indeed a thousand times stricter than before, even a huge underworld group was mobilized, and the existence of the Uesugi family was deliberately concealed.

But, didn't I find an opportunity to take advantage of it? Lu Mingfei was so proud that he wanted to travel back in time to show his face to his brother-in-law.

But despite being proud, his speech was still very proper. He was not frivolous or showing off. Instead, he said in a very normal way:

"I have things to do. See you next time."

My wife is timid and afraid of strangers, a bit like a newborn deer. Whether we are too enthusiastic or too cold in the first interaction, she will retreat into her nest and hide.

She would also contact the parents and often consult her brother-in-law for advice when she couldn't make up her mind.

In order to play the long game and catch the big fish, and also to not arouse the vigilance of his brother-in-law, he acted like a casual acquaintance on the Internet with a somewhat bad personality.

Even if his brother-in-law later discovered that he was trying to steal the house, he would only think that it was an ordinary game dispute and would not interfere and break up the couple before they even got started.

"good."

Eiry deleted and cut on the screen. She wanted to say something harsh but didn't know how to say it. In the end, she could only reply with a single word in a cold voice.

After she replied, Sakura quickly went offline.

Looking at the empty friend list and the promise to fight again next time, a flame faintly burned in Eri's eyes.

She didn't read much, didn't know what "playing hard to get" meant, and didn't know anything about Sun Tzu's Art of War. She only knew that she must get back at Sakura next time and beat her to her knees!
