The Life of a 25-year-old Gamer

  Guo Yi thought Tang Xiaolan's mother was a beauty, but he didn't expect her to be so young and beautiful. Normally, with his personality, he would have lavished praise on her, after all, it was the truth. But under her piercing gaze, he felt like he was being seen through, as if his thoughts were laid bare, like being naked. How could he still have the heart to flatter?

  She took a glance at Guo Yao, smiled and nodded slightly, then whispered to Tang Xiaolan:

  "Your dad is in the study room, you can go now."

  Guo Yi and Tang Xiaolan went upstairs one after another, I whispered to her:

  "Your dad has had it tough!"

  "Why say that?"

  "Your mom is too beautiful, keeping such a beautiful wife, that's gotta be pampered every day, can't bear to scold, can't bear to let her do chores, you say it's easy?"

  Actually, Guo Yi wanted to say that she didn't dare come, this woman has a strong aura, one look and you can tell she's not the gentle and virtuous type, it's unlikely that she'll make a good wife and mother!

  "Look what you said, my dad loves my mom very much, but in our family's major events, it's always my dad who has the final say!"

  "Nothing big has happened in your family for twenty years, right?"

  Tang Xiaolan glanced at Guo Yi and suddenly said:

  "When you have a wife, will you be willing to both hit and scold her?"

  Kuo Yi smiled and said:

  "What can I do? I'm also worshiping every day!"

  "And besides, you're just cheating people!"

  When Guo Yi saw Tang Lao Yezi Tang Yunzhong, she suddenly changed her mind and thought that her mother was not easy.

  The study had no books, the shelves were filled with broken copper and tiles, a nearly two-meter workbench was also cluttered with tools, but these only occupied half of the room. The other half had only one office desk, two computers, and in front of one computer sat a bald fat man, who was busily working away with one hand on the keyboard and the other holding the mouse.

  It's definitely not easy for such a beautiful woman to marry a fat man who makes the house messy!

  "Dad!"

  The fatty didn't make a sound and continued to be busy. Tang Xiaolan obviously knew her father's temper, so she smiled apologetically at Guo Yi and said:

  "Wait a minute, even if the house is on fire, my dad won't move!"

  "It's nothing."

  Guo Yue said with a smile. As long as he put himself in the position of his son-in-law, Guo Yue's heart was as broad as the sea.

  What's the old man busy with? Guo Yi went over to take a look, and damn it, the old man was playing CF! On the computer screen, an M60 was charging forward fiercely, not dodging or hiding, shooting anyone in sight without distinguishing between friend or foe, its aim was completely off.

  Guo Yi took a deep breath in, and his heart began to count down:

  "5, 4, 3..."

  Just after counting the three old men's house was knocked down!

  The old man was not deterred, and three seconds later he burst out of the door again. He didn't get far before being knocked down, but then the old man made a comeback????? Guo Yao wiped away cold sweat, thinking that whoever wanted to be beaten to death by the old man should just give up on playing Counter-Strike and instead buy a block of tofu to smash themselves to death! Just as Guo Yao was thinking this, he saw the old man quickly pull out a grenade and fling it out. The grenade beautifully ricocheted off the car's surface and landed accurately behind two people's butts. Those two guys didn't even notice that there was a high-explosive grenade behind them, and before they could even turn their heads, they were blown flying into the air——Guo Yao understood, the old man was playing stealthily, specializing in taking out his own teammates!

  As a result, he was kicked out.

  Tang Lao Yezi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Guo Yi who was secretly laughing, saying:

  "Why don't you give it a try?"

  Kuang Yue nodded without hesitation, crossed his hands and flexed his fingers and arms, then sat up straight in front of the computer, switching to M4A1, waiting for the restart. A few seconds later, the game started, map: Transport Ship.

  Guo Yi didn't rush forward immediately, but instead pressed the keys to move forward, backward, left and right, occasionally switching between weapons while jumping up and down. The screen displayed a chaotic map. Tang Lao Yezi pushed Guo Yi and said with disdain:

  "Are you going to play or not? Just hurry up, what's with all the fuss here?"

  Guo Yi took a glance at the radar, two teammates had already rushed halfway and were exchanging fire. A sniper was crouching on the left side, waiting for an opportunity. He no longer hesitated and suddenly burst out of the room from the right door, running along the wall to the container, turning left while squatting down, a burst of shots took out the enemy who emerged from the tunnel. At this moment, the radar showed that his team's sniper had been taken out. Guo Yi flashed out with his body and immediately retreated back onto the container, another burst of shots took out the enemy hiding at the opponent's door using a sniper rifle, doing a backflip in mid-air. Almost simultaneously with firing the shot, he had already retreated down from the container.

  Then, Guo Yi loaded the bullets and retreated back to the room. He walked along the passage to the end, turned around, and threw a hand grenade at the empty car skin above. Seeing no hint of death, Guo Yi aimed his sight at the exit of the car skin. After a few seconds, still no one appeared there. Unfazed, Guo Yi continued to wait patiently. About thirty seconds later, a sexy little girl wearing a beret and holding a golden AK cautiously poked her head out. Guo Yi shot decisively, killing her with one bullet. Immediately, another golden skull appeared on the screen.

  Guo Yi swiftly glanced at the radar, then turned around and jumped onto the highest container, firing two shots downwards at the bandits. Two golden skulls appeared on the screen once again.

  Guo Yi didn't stop for a moment, immediately jumping down from the container. Due to the height of the container, he inevitably fell and dropped five drops of blood. After Guo Yi landed, he backed away from the exit towards the room. Almost simultaneously, several hand grenades flew in, followed by a burst of bullets piercing through the wall. Fortunately, due to the sufficient distance, it didn't make him shed a single drop of blood.

  When they retreated to the entrance of the tunnel, Guo Yi stopped, squatted down and started waiting. Thirty seconds later, no one appeared. Guo Yi reloaded his gun and returned to the room, took a look at the radar, and then rushed out from the right door again.

  Kuo's motto is: if you can cooperate, then give your empty shift to your teammate; if you can't cooperate, let your teammate's corpse tell you where the enemy is!

  One game was not over yet, Guo Yao was also kicked out. The person who kicked him said that he opened G and didn't care about the enemy or our side, and everyone responded to it.

  Kuo Yeh relaxed with a comfortable expression, leaning back in his chair. Suddenly, Old Master Tang flew into a rage, scolding his opponent for being despicable and shameless, then turning to scold his teammate for not distinguishing between right and wrong.

  Actually, Guo Yi had seen this kind of thing many times before. In his school days, he and three other aimless guys formed the "Brotherhood Glory" team, sweeping through the entire campus, and even making it to the top three in some tournaments. However, due to the limited number of players on their team, they never found like-minded teammates, and the temporary teams they cobbled together lacked cohesion. Moreover, Guo Yi and his friends weren't really interested in becoming champions, so they never got close to one. As a four-man team, however, they rarely encountered opponents who could keep up with them - many opponents would quit before the end of the first round, which left Guo Yi feeling frustrated. They had no choice but to switch to solo play, and getting kicked out became a common occurrence.

  Old Tang, without any artistic temperament, scolded for a while and then aimed the cannon at Guo Yao, saying, "Come on! Why are you so serious? Look at your solemn expression earlier, and now look at your sneaky appearance, as if losing would be fatal. Is it that important? If there weren't people like you, could I have played so depressingly?

  Kuo Yi nodded in agreement, and this wasn't just him flattering, he really thought so. Playing games is supposed to be fun, if you're too serious it loses its flavor. So when he usually plays games, he's always been the type to take it easy and enjoy the ride. At worst, if he loses, he can just start over again, right? But CF was different, its pace was extremely fast. If you play it carelessly, you'll probably get killed as soon as you show your head, and starting over again won't even take a few seconds before you have to finish the game. If you don't focus, aren't you just asking for trouble? Isn't asking for trouble just being self-deprecating?

  So, for this kind of game, either don't play it at all or play it well!

  The old man nodded repeatedly, and before Guo Yi finished speaking, Tang Xiaolan quietly pinched him on the side. The pain made Guo Yi jump, and he suddenly realized he had misspoken. He quickly changed the subject, saying "Old master, didn't you have something for me to fix? What is it?"

  The old man was taken aback, and only then did he remember the matter at hand. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You're so young, yet you play games so well. It's really not like someone in this line of work. I'm afraid that if I give it to you, you'll waste it!" Guo Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. It had been a long time since he'd seen such a straightforward old man.

  The old man gradually became serious, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. He said:

  "You appear restless and distracted, not someone who is willing to put in the effort to sit still for a long time. However, from your posture and gaze when playing games, it can be seen that you have a stubborn streak in your personality. If this stubbornness were applied in the right place, it might lead to success, but clearly, you haven't been using it in the right way. You've been putting too much energy into gaming, which means you'll inevitably lack time and energy for other things. Moreover, your dark eye circles and pale skin suggest that you don't have a regular lifestyle. In short, you might be a happy person, but you're unlikely to achieve great things."

  Guo Yi's back suddenly broke out in cold sweat!

  Tang Xiaolan stared at her father in surprise for a long time before saying:

  "Dad! How can you say that about Guo Yi? I saw it with my own eyes ——"

  Tang Xiaolan's words were cut off by Old Master Tang, who raised his hand to stop her and turned to look at his daughter, saying:

  "With your own eyes? Lu Xun once said that everyone can change their tricks, each with their own cleverness. Your pair of eyes isn't good enough yet!"

  Tang Xiaolan's small face turned bright red, her eyes looked at Guo Yi with a complex expression. Guo Yi responded with a bitter smile. This old man's eyes were indeed poisonous! He wasn't the kind of person who would put in hard work, otherwise he wouldn't be like this now, neither high nor low. The old man had seen right through him! Just as Guo Yi was about to give the old man a thumbs up, Tang Xiaolan suddenly said loudly:

  "No, no, it's not like that, Guo Yi is not the kind of person you're saying he is, I believe him!"

  Mr. Tang looked at his daughter in surprise, clearly not expecting his normally rational and quiet daughter to say such a thing.

  A warm current surged in Guo Yi's heart, and the words that were originally on his lips he swallowed hard. I can make people suspicious, but I must not let those who believe in me down!

  Kuo Yeh slowly stood up and said:

  "Old man!!!!!!"
