At eight o'clock in the evening, Qiulin decisively brought his group of friends to the door. When Song Chen went to the school nearby to have dinner with Zhang Ruoxi, they were deeply entangled for an hour before returning to the store entrance, where he saw Qiulin and his classmates, including some female students, which gave him a great shock.

Looking at the leading Qiulin, he took out the key and smiled bitterly, "You have so many friends?"

Qiulin looked back at his classmates with awkward smiles and grinned, "Brother Song, when you said friends, you included my classmates too! These are all my classmates!"

"You're coming in a group, aren't you afraid of scaring the neighbors!"

Shaking his head, Song Chen opened the door and looked back at the students, except for Qiulin, who were tiptoeing to peek inside. He smiled, "I said free play is free play, but only for two hours. We close at ten o'clock and open tomorrow! OK?"

"OK!" The voices were quite整齐的.

"Also, keep the speakers low, don't shout and disturb the neighbors' sleep!" Song Chen walked into the store and opened two doors to let the students in.

These students, including Qiulin, cheered and surged in like a tide. Song Chen counted and was surprised to find more than 20 people. He smiled bitterly and pulled Qiulin, saying, "You brought so many, aren't you afraid you won't get to play?"

Qiulin looked down at Song Chen's hand holding his and said, almost in tears, "You're the one holding my hand, making me unable to play! Brother!"

Song Chen immediately let go of his hand and shrugged, "I forgot!"

Would he admit he did it on purpose?

In the early days, to save costs, most computer rooms did not have speakers. However, Song Chen, considering the need for background game music to enhance the experience, still chose to include speakers in the configuration.

"Boss, do you have 'Heartbeat Memory'?"

Although there were many games, there were always classic games that Song Chen had not considered. Soon, a beautiful girl who had taken over a computer position searched the desktop and, raising her hand as if in class, spoke up.

Song Chen looked at her, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly, "Heartbeat Memory? I haven't heard of it, I didn't buy it!"

"What are you, a girl, playing Heartbeat Memory for? Get up and let me play. I want to compete with them in Red Alert!" Qiulin quickly ran over, pleading and begging the girl to give up her seat, but was met with a refusal.

"Who cares if I love playing it?"

"Comrades, the Empire has opened a room, come quickly if you want to play!"

"I'm coming!"

"I'm here too!"

"Damn, Red Alert!"

"Idiot, there's Diablo to play, but I forgot to bring my floppy disk, all the save files are in it!"

Seeing the enthusiastic atmosphere inside and the rather crude graphics on the screens, for a player who had played "World of Warcraft" and was immune to all online games, he suddenly felt the urge to try.

Perhaps in his previous life, he had been so focused on working to support himself and his mother that he had lost many things that should have belonged to this age.

Song Chen fell into deep thought.

The unfortunate Qiulin stood beside Song Chen, looking dejected, and muttered, "Sigh, the early birds get the worms, I shouldn't have talked so much in class!"

Before Song Chen could respond, a boy, staring at the screen, said casually, "Alright, alright, Xiaolin, we'll treat you to a meal tomorrow!"

"That's a must!" Qiulin spat, then turned to Song Chen and asked, "Boss, can we stay all night?"

Seeing Song Chen shake his head, Qiulin was disappointed and asked curiously, "Then how much per hour?"

"Boss, don't be too greedy! We college students are poor!"

"Right, boss! Give us a discount, I'll bring a group of brothers here every day!"

"Boss, I heard you're our alumnus, I can introduce you to a pretty senior, give us a discount!"

"Haha! Wang Haibin, who would introduce you to a pretty senior? Everyone knows you pray every day to be noticed by a junior!" A girl sitting behind another girl couldn't help but mock him.

"You're on their side! Traitor!"

Everyone burst into laughter, including Song Chen, who couldn't help but chuckle.

"Eight yuan with a student ID, ten yuan without!" Song Chen smiled, seeing everyone cheer, and said with a bow, "I'm also from Dongou University, we all have tight budgets, so I won't make it hard for you!"

"Boss is a good person!"

"Boss is so kind, rest assured, we'll bring more friends here early tomorrow to support you, ensuring you make a fortune, with a steady stream of customers!"

"Thanks for your good words!" Song Chen smiled, then joked, "Don't bring those with a bad temper, remember, my computers are precious and can't withstand any damage!"

"Don't worry, we're all college students, the most refined!"

Qiulin was happy for a moment, but then thought about not being able to play and became dejected and depressed. He looked at Song Chen's smooth chin and suddenly became interested, asking, "Boss, I didn't ask you this morning, what major are you in?"

This question immediately piqued the interest of the students, who turned to look at Song Chen with interest.

"International Trade, but I took a leave of absence after two months!"

"Ah, you're a freshman, why did you stop after two months? Freshman year is so happy! Back then, we..."

"To support myself and my family!" Song Chen smiled and interrupted the other person's reverie, his expression calm, "My family is poor, and we only have one house. How could I afford university? I heard that opening a computer room could make money, so I took a deep breath and mortgaged the house! If I lose, I'll have to sleep on the street with my family!"

The students all looked at Song Chen with sympathy and said in unison, "Don't worry, boss, we'll bring a large group of brothers and sisters here tomorrow, 1, 2, 3... 15, 16 computers, just our class can ensure your computers are 'abused' 24 hours a day without shutting down!"

"Right! Sigh, there are no computer rooms around, only one internet cafe, and it costs 15 yuan per hour, who can afford that? And there are no games, it's only good for a short while!"

There are already internet cafes around? And they can't install games? Were they banned in 1997? If so, their impact on him would be limited. So Song Chen smiled and asked Qiulin, "By the way, you're in the Software Engineering department, right? What year are you in?"

"Third year!" Qiulin smiled bitterly, "I've been playing for over a year, only started studying seriously this year, but I don't know what to do after graduation!"

"Is that so?" Song Chen smiled mysteriously, "Now is an unprecedented era, you college students are a treasure!"

"Everyone says that!" Qiulin laughed, then mocked himself, "But after graduation, it might not be the case! The seniors who have entered society tell us, reality is different!"

Song Chen smiled slightly and didn't follow up on this. He needed to observe them for a while before deciding whether to give them a huge fortune.

However, before that, he needed a part-time employee. Looking at Qiulin, he smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling him to come out and talk.
