Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Yu Qin's expression remained calm and composed, making it difficult to discern her thoughts.

Chen Dong secretly observed all of this, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, as if he had gained some insight.

Guo Miao's lack of emotional intelligence makes it easy for him to overlook many details when interacting with Yu Qin.

But there doesn't seem to be any good way to help my brother with this kind of thing, since emotional intelligence can't be improved overnight.

Moreover, Chen Dong didn't know if Yu Qin would continue to be interested in him, and if that were the case, what should he do?

My heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions, a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors that I couldn't quite describe.

I felt completely confused, as if I were lost in a fog.

Shops of all kinds are scattered like stars in the city's streets and alleys.

Locksmith shops, electronics stores, watch shops, toy stores, and other seemingly unrelated businesses now share a common side job—selling game cartridges.

Game cartridges became a unique link connecting these shops from different industries, creating a craze in the market.

In a locksmith shop in the city center, the small space is crammed full of all kinds of locks and tools.

Key samples of various sizes hung on the wall, and the air was filled with the smell of metal.

The shop owner, Lao Wang, was sitting behind the counter, idly flipping through a magazine.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open, and a young man walked in.

The young man was wearing a slightly faded T-shirt, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes revealed his eagerness for the new game.

"Hey boss, do you sell game cartridges here? Do you have any new game cartridges?"

The young man looked at the cassette tape display rack in the store as he asked a question.

Old Wang quickly put down the magazine, stood up, his face beaming with smiles, and said enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"A new game called 'Luoyang Knight Inn' was recently released and it's become very popular. A lot of people have been asking about it."

"The theme is very novel. It's about opening a chivalrous inn in Luoyang. There are many ways to play, so it's sure to be fun."

As he spoke, he reached out and took a cassette tape of "Luoyang Knights Inn" from the display shelf and handed it to the young man.

The cassette tape cover features a swordsman holding a long sword standing in front of an inn, a rather appealing image.

The young man took the cartridge, examined it, and said hesitantly, "I've never heard of this game before. Is it fun? Will it be a rip-off?"

Old Wang patted his chest and assured him, "Young man, don't worry! This game is really popular lately, and everyone's feedback has been great."

"And the price is affordable, only ninety yuan, making it extremely cost-effective. You'll know once you buy it and play with it, you definitely won't regret it!"

The young man thought about it and felt that what Old Wang said was very convincing. In addition, he really wanted to play the new game, so he took out his money, paid the bill, and left happily with the cartridge.

Once home, the young man couldn't wait to insert the "Luoyang Knights Inn" cartridge into his game console.

As the game began and the screen slowly loaded, the young man's initially expectant gaze gradually turned to disappointment.

The game's scenes are crude and rudimentary, the characters are stiff, and the movements are awkward.

After playing for a while, he found that the gameplay was very similar to "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 1", which he had played before.

Both the graphics quality and the gameplay experience are far inferior to "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 1".

"This isn't a new game at all; it's a complete rip-off!"

The young man muttered angrily and slammed the handle aside.

Meanwhile, in an electronics store on the other side of the city.

The store was filled with all kinds of electronic products, including televisions, radios, and portable music players, with the faint electrical sounds emanating from the electronic devices all mixed together.

Several young people were gathered around the game cartridge sales area, having a lively discussion.

One of the young men, wearing glasses, said, "I recently heard there's a new cartridge game called 'Luoyang Knights Inn,' have you heard of it?"

Another young man wearing a trendy hoodie replied, "I know, but unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy one yet. Has anyone bought one? Isn't it fun?"

At this moment, a chubby young man who had just bought "Luoyang Knights Inn" frowned and said with a look of disgust, "Don't buy it, this game is a total rip-off."

"I just played it, and it's a complete rip-off of 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 1'. The graphics are terrible and the gameplay is incredibly boring."

"I didn't want to play anymore after a while; it was a waste of my money."

The young man with glasses said in surprise, "Huh? Really? This topic sounds quite interesting."

Are the "I Run an Inn in Chang'an" series still available for purchase?

The chubby young man pointed to "I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4" on the display shelf and said, "Yes, that one."

"I heard that 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4' is more fun than the previous ones, with upgraded graphics and storyline."

"If I had known, I would have bought this instead, and I wouldn't have had such a terrible time playing it."

Inside a watch shop, the ticking of clocks could be heard incessantly, and all kinds of exquisite clocks hung on the walls.

A middle-aged man walked into the store; he was there to change the battery in his watch.

While changing the battery, he saw the game cartridges for sale in the store and started chatting with the shop owner.

"Boss, how are your game cartridges selling?" the middle-aged man asked.

While skillfully changing the battery, the shop owner replied, "It's alright. Recently, a lot of people have been asking about 'Luoyang Knights Inn,' but the reviews after buying it haven't been very good."

The middle-aged man asked curiously, "Why? Isn't this game fun? I was just thinking of buying a game cartridge for my son."

The shop owner sighed and said, "Many people say that this game plagiarized 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an,' and that it was poorly copied, with unattractive graphics and no originality."

"If you're buying it for your child, I'd suggest you check out 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4'. It has a good reputation, and many kids like to play it."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded: "I see. Then I'll buy 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4'. I can't let my child play a game he doesn't like."

In the toy store, colorful toys filled the shelves, and the laughter of children echoed throughout the store.

Several children gathered around the game cartridge area, their eyes fixed on the beautifully designed cartridge covers, excitedly discussing them.

A little girl with a ponytail said, "I heard there's a new game called 'Luoyang Knights Inn,' I wonder if it's fun."

A little boy next to him said dismissively, "My brother bought it, but it's not fun at all, and it's a copy of other games."

“My brother said that ‘I Run an Inn in Chang’an 4’ is really fun. There are a lot of interesting things to do in it, and you can also expand the inn.”

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I'll ask my dad to buy me 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 4'."
