“Zhou Jilong, you dare to make fun of the boss? Wait until I get to Peng City, and I’ll show you!” Zhou Chao stood on the balcony with a faint smile on his face, complaining about Zhou Jilong’s behavior earlier.
Although he was joking about Zhou Jilong, what he truly hoped for was that they could manufacture the ultra-precision machine tool as soon as possible. That would be the ti for him to shine.
Zhou Chao extended his right hand and grabbed at the air as if victory was within his grasp.
“Let’s go for a walk and try so of the local specialties 1 haven’t had a chance to taste last ti. This ti, I’m going to savor them thoroughly.”
Without hesitation, Zhou Chao picked up his phone and room key, then opened the door and walked out.
He hailed a taxi at the hotel entrance and, once inside, told the driver, “Yau Ma Tei, Portland Street!”
The taxi driver glanced at Zhou Chao and couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “He looks so handso, and 1 didn’t expect him to have this kind of interest.”
The Peninsula Hotel was less than 5 kiloters away from Portland Street, but it took nearly 20 minutes to get there due to heavy traffic. Zhou Chao experienced what it ant to be stuck in traffic; there were simply too many cars on the road.
When Zhou Chao got out of the car, he imdiately caught the aroma of various delicacies in the air.
Yau Ma Tei was a bustling area on Hong Kong Island, so there were many eateries and snack shops in this area. Zhou Chao strolled along Portland Street, slowly taking in any delicious-looking food he ca across.
By the ti Zhou Chao walked from the beginning to the end of Portland Street, he had tried at least seven different snacks, and his stomach was starting to feel a bit full.
“I have to admit, that roasted pork from earlier was really good. If it weren’t for trying other things before dinner, I might have just eaten my fill!”
As Zhou Chao was still pondering, he was stopped by a girl sitting in front of a storefront.
“Hey handso, the people!” The girl gazed at Zhou Chao with an intense look, and her throat involuntarily made a subtle movent.
“The people?” Zhou Chao was still trying to figure out the aning of the English phrase the girl had used when he noticed a middle-aged man and a woman coming out from inside the establishnt.
They were saying, “Big brother, rember to co see next ti!”
It was only then that Zhou Chao raised his head and looked at the dazzling and colorful signboard. His expression suddenly changed.
“Damn, this… this is so blatant!” Zhou Chao was astonished.
“Hey, handso, do you want to co in and give it a try?” The girl sitting there called out to Zhou Chao again.
Zhou Chao hurriedly waved his hand, said nothing, and continued walking ahead. It was only now that he realized there were many shimring and colorful signs on the roadside. He finally grasped that this was the renowned red-light district of Hong Kong Island!
Having realized the aning of the girl’s English phrase from earlier, Zhou Chao didn’t linger and briskly walked to the next street. He paid little attention to the street-side snacks along the way.
He was still pondering one question: what did the English phrase the girl used an? It had been on his mind, and he couldn’t figure it out.
Portland Street didn’t seem long, but Zhou Chao walked for nearly 20 minutes before reaching the next street, Bute Street, which ran through the eastern and western parts of Mong Kok and Prince Edward, bustling just like Portland Street.
However, the buildings on this street were relatively older, and there were many small restaurants and tea houses lining both sides of the road.
After strolling for a while, Zhou Chao lost interest in continuing and hailed a taxi by the roadside to return to the Peninsula Hotel.
Back at the hotel, Zhou Chao flopped onto the sofa.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have co tomorrow. There’s nothing I can do here so early; I can only stay in the hotel.”
Zhou Chao wandered around the room, and when he ca to the study, he saw the computer on the desk. A faint smile crept onto his face as he quickly walked over to it.
He turned on the computer, and within a minute, it had successfully booted up. Zhou Chao saw that, apart from basic configurations, there was nothing else on the computer, not even gas, only Minesweeper and Solitaire.
“Why does it have to be so basic?” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but complain when he saw the simplistic computer interface.
“Well, I’ll have to kill ti with this!” He then opened a web browser and typed in the Dou Shark website. Within monts, the familiar screen filled his vision.
He swiftly logged into his account and checked his remaining shark fins, which amounted to less than 20,000. He considered not recharging and opened his list of followed broadcasters.
“Is Ah Tuan taking a break today? Lao Piao isn’t streaming either. Well, let’s see who else is online!”
With practiced ease, Zhou Chao typed a few words into the search bar: “Qingyu 618.” As soon as he entered the room, he saw the back of Qingyu’s head on the screen, along with the ga screen.
“Brothers, place your bets, place your bets! Will I get an 8 – kill this round?”
“Don’t waste ti, Jiao i. Hurry up, I’ve bet 10,000 beans that you won’t get an 8 – kill. You better perform well and aim for a Chicken Dinner!”
“If Jiao i gets a chicken dinner, I’ll gift her an airplane!”
The danmaku in the live chat room was already lively, with so viewers confident and others skeptical.
Because Zhou Chao enjoyed watching Ah Tuan’s live broadcasts and occasionally played gas together, they, along with two others, Orange and Neck, ford a formidable squad in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), resulting in explosive live streaming content.
When Zhou Chao entered the room, Qingyu had already started the ga. He was playing as a stealth character, and there was no danmaku announcing Zhou Chao’s entrance to the broadcast room.
Zhou Chao leaned back in his chair, watching the live broadcast. He took a mont to grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
As soon as he landed in the ga, Qingyu engaged in intense combat, taking down three opponents with skillful maneuvers. He swiftly collected their equipnt and hopped into a vehicle to hunt for more kills. It was an adrenaline-pumping experience that made Zhou Chao consider downloading the ga himself.
In the end, Qingyu achieved a solo victory with 12 kills, leaving many viewers who had bet against him lanting in the danmaku.
Zhou Chao watched the lively danmaku in the chatroom and occasionally chid in.
“Hey, guys, how was that? Who was it that promised to gift an airplane? Co on, ti to make good on your word!” Although only showing the back of his head, Zhou Chao found Qingyu amusing.
Skillfully opening the gift interface, he checked his balance and sent nine blazing torches, clearing out all his shark fins.
“Isn’t this the King Drifting? When did you arrive? Welco, Big Brother Drifting! Let’s give him a warm welco!” Qingyu imdiately recognized Zhou Chao’s account, after all, nas like “Big Brother” were morable to broadcasters.
Seeing the chat flooded with welcos, Zhou Chao sent a danmaku ssage, “Let’s play so gas! We want to see your impressive skills!”
“King Drifting, want to join us?”
“I’d better not, it’s inconvenient in the hotel!”
Qingyu didn’t say more and continued playing the ga.
Zhou Chao watched until past 11 o’clock and recharged 200,000 shark fins during that ti. He directly gifted 100,000 in Qingyu’s chatroom, saving the rest for the next ti he tuned in..
