Chapter 53
Zhai Da took some more snacks from the shelf, like 3+2 biscuits, Wangzai milk, etc.; it just so happened that he and Lu Wei hadn't eaten breakfast, and one starch sausage wasn't enough.
However, the internet cafe manager's seat was left to Brother Hai; people had to work.
Letting Lu Wei sit in an empty seat and eat biscuits quietly, Zhai Da leaned against the bar and chatted with Brother Hai.
"Which school was Brother Hai from before?"
Seemingly because they had chatted about some deep questions just now, Brother Hai didn't reject talking about old events: "The Third Middle School, can't compare to your Maofang."
Even if they were all turtles in Dongyang County, they were actually divided into different levels; the Third Middle School was even worse than Maofang Middle School, and it was said to be very chaotic and "street-smart."
There were countless "bad girls" and "thugs."
When Zhai Da was in middle school, he remembered students from the Third Middle School coming to Maofang Middle School to block people and have group fights; the influence of "Young and Dangerous" was too great in that era, especially among students.
So much so that years later, when Zhai Da saw arguments like "what will ruin young people," his first reaction was always those movies, not games, mobile phones, or the internet.
However, as Zhai Da entered high school, on one hand, because economic development was indeed rapid and factories were short of people, and on the other hand, the governance of the province had also improved, such things became much less frequent.
No matter who you are, Brother B or Brother Chicken, once you're locked in the detention center and your parents are called, you'll know who the brother is.
Zhai Da gnawed on a country-style chicken leg: "I feel like your computer skills are pretty good; you must have been a top student back then, right?"
Brother Hai was stunned; he hadn't heard this kind of statement for about ten years, and besides, what did the two have to do with each other?
But he still smiled proudly: "You have a good eye; my grades were indeed pretty good back then."
Zhai Da thought, of course I have a good eye; the system has already given me clues.
That fold line that appeared briefly and then disappeared had been captured.
"Congratulations to the host, discovered green special item [Nerd's Glasses Cloth]: There was once a student with excellent grades who was bullied and humiliated by classmates; he could only keep wiping his glasses to cover his anger."
"Current status: Not owned, not activated."
"Equipment effect 1 -> Wipe Clean: Efficiency of wiping glass-like materials is significantly increased."
"Equipment effect 2 -> Cover: Conventional means cannot detect objects covered by it."
"Special effect 'Burst': After wiping glasses, increases the glasses owner's explosive power, adrenaline level, and endurance, including but not limited to pain, fatigue, and other abnormal states, lasting for ten minutes."
"'Burst' unlocking mission: Defeat ten opponents with bare hands in a fair duel, or be defeated by ten opponents."
"Note: When milk was poured on his head, he was still wiping his glasses, and then chose to say goodbye to his student status with a 1V10 victory."
Only under the entanglement of strong emotions, feelings, and obsessions will "special items" be produced, so the information of these items will inevitably reveal the important past of the owner.
In his previous life, Zhai Da had been surfing the internet for ten years in the internet cafe where Brother Hai worked, but he didn't know as much about him as he did today.
He always thought Brother Hai was quite ruthless; in the past, when "spirit boys" made trouble in the internet cafe, Brother Hai would pull out a telescopic baton from the bar and drive seven or eight people away by himself... he didn't expect there was such a story about him...
This is really capable of fighting! Does the [Nerd's Glasses Cloth] not strengthen learning, but close-quarters combat ability?
But what surprised him even more was that this [Equipment] actually had a green rarity from the start... which was the same level as the [Joker Poker] synthesized and the [Execution Old Elm] not yet obtained.
But... how to get it...
Zhai Da guided the topic and took the initiative to say: "My eyesight has been dropping severely recently; Brother Hai, where did you get your glasses?"
Brother Hai said casually: "A shop on Jianshe Road, probably closed down by now?"
It is true that "special items" are entangled with the owner's feelings or emotions, but others don't have a system, so whether they value it or not is more related to the type of item.
For example, the [Old Man's TV], the old man didn't know how many years he had watched it, but when there was a chance to trade it in, he still gave it up.
A piece of broken glasses cloth, Brother Hai might not value it, but...
Damn, how can I get a piece of broken cloth? How do I open my mouth!
Even saying the word "buy" is a bit abstract! Brother Hai might think he has some special hobby!
But the system doesn't allow him to steal either...
Many methods flashed through his mind.
Zhai Da finally decided to choose the most direct method.
Sometimes if you can't find the right path, it's better to go straight, maybe there will be a miraculous effect.
"Brother Hai, do you still want that glasses cloth? Can you give it to me?"
Brother Hai raised his eyebrows; how did you know I had a glasses cloth in my pocket?
He subconsciously took out the old glasses case that couldn't close, revealing the ordinary glasses cloth in the gap.
The internet cafe manager's income wasn't high, and he had the habit of working out, so he was very frugal.
"What do you want this thing for?"
Zhai Da smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Didn't you say you were a top student? I want to get some of your luck!"
"Going to burn incense and worship Buddha instead of asking for my glasses cloth?"
Zhai Da shook his head: "The ones in the temple are fake Buddhas, but you might be a real top student, just asking for a bit of luck."
Brother Hai's brain stopped turning, thinking, what kind of hobby is this...
But young people, it's normal to be a bit weird...
He casually threw the glasses cloth to Zhai Da: "Take it; if you really get into college, remember to come here to 'fulfill your wish'."
Zhai Da grinned and stuffed the glasses cloth into his pocket.
"Definitely, when the time comes, I'll top up 300 and get 300, to boost Brother Hai's performance!"
Zhai Da took Lu Wei and left the internet cafe.
Brother Hai behind him looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but smile.
He subconsciously wanted to wipe his glasses, but only then remembered that the piece of broken cloth was gone.
So he pulled out a tissue, wiping while talking to himself:
"Maybe there really is luck; it's good that my luck is continued by someone else."
"Keep it up."

Today's main task was successfully completed, and there was an unexpected joy, directly obtaining a green piece of equipment.
Fingertips rubbing the [Nerd's Glasses Cloth] in his pocket, Zhai Da felt beautiful inside.
Although the effect was a bit niche, it was a green piece of equipment after all, with three full effects, and it was something very convenient to carry around.
Among the three effects, "Wipe Clean" and the special effect "Burst" were both easy to understand; one made him wipe glass-like materials faster, and the other made him better at fighting, although the latter required a troublesome unlocking mission.
But effect 2 "Cover" was slightly abstract: Conventional means cannot detect objects covered by it.
At the entrance of the internet cafe, Zhai Da took out the glasses cloth and observed it carefully.
This was the typical glasses cloth with short fluff on one side and smooth on the other; because it had been used for a long time, it had a bit of oil, but it wasn't dirty, and it had a certain thickness.
The size was also larger than the glasses cloth Zhai Da understood, fully unfolded it was close to A4 paper; he seemed to remember seeing this size when he was a child, saying it could be used as both a glasses cloth and a handkerchief.
Maybe it was because of its size that Brother Hai had used it for so long; ordinary small glasses cloths were easily lost.
There was a bus near "Sabak Internet Cafe," and the route included both Maofang Factory and Maofang Middle School; Zhai Da and Lu Wei could both sit on it, just in two directions.
It's a pity that this route didn't pass by Sanmao, otherwise it would be convenient for Lu Wei and Yu Xiaoli to go to work on weekdays.
Watching Lu Wei get on the bus and sit by the window, Zhai Da waved at Lu Wei and turned to wait for the bus on the other side of the road.
The bus arrived quickly, giving him face, and Zhai Da sat in the back seat.
Taking out the glasses cloth, after a little thought, Zhai Da tentatively covered his hand.
His hand made a gesture specifically for Koreans to break their defense.
The outline outlined by the glasses cloth, because of the thickness and some reasons he couldn't say, really couldn't see the gesture inside... but what was the use of this? To match magic?
But this wasn't an equipment effect, right?
He tried to combine the small magic tricks he had learned recently with the glasses cloth, taking a one-yuan coin out of his pocket and playing with it constantly.
The bus hadn't gone even one stop when two figures got on.
"Shuyao! What do you mean? I walked for half an hour to take the bus with you, what do you mean by don't look for you anymore?!"
The tall basketball team member Wang Feng chased after Lin Shuyao, looking puzzled.
"You really did it for that Zhai Da?! Do you really like him?"
Lin Shuyao lowered her head; she was already irritable to the extreme, and the passengers' gazes after getting on the bus made her collapse, so she shouted directly:
"Yes! It's because of that Zhai Da! I like him, I don't like you! Is that okay!"
Zhai Da, who was playing "grab fingers" by himself, raised his head.
Met Lin Shuyao's eyes.
Lin Shuyao: ...
