Chapter 24
Chen Mo sat at the bar on the first floor in order to be able to see any potential players passing by.
He also moved his laptop to the bar table. While waiting for customers, he would play Plants vs Zombies and see if there was anything that needed to be changed.
Chen Mo had spent over three months on this, from August all the way into December. It was now entering winter.
As it turned colder, the pedestrians outside had put on long pants and jackets. Today, however, it was quite nice, as there wasn’t much wind, so the weather was fine for going outside.

Chen Mo didn’t feel the rush. Experience stores like these needed to be built over time. Moreover, Chen Mo hadn’t done any promotions, it wasn’t a surprise that there wasn’t anyone.
In terms of location of the experience store, it wasn’t good or bad. Although it was a bit off the beaten track, there was a small town nearby and a bit further away was a university, so the amount of people going by was a decent amount.
——
After waiting for another half an hour, the second customer showed themselves.
This guy had greasy hair, tired eyes and seemed like he hadn’t had enough sleep. It was obvious that he was an internet addicted teenager.
As he walked in front of the store and saw Thunderbolt Gaming Experience Store, he muttered, “Thunderbolt Gaming, never heard of it.”
He then walked into the store and looked around, asking Chen Mo, “Hey, is this an experience store? Not an internet cafe?”
Chen Mo nodded, “Yep, not an internet cafe.”
“Oh.” This internet addicted teenager was noticeably disappointed, as he was obviously looking for an internet cafe. Although he could play games inside the experience store, it was only the games from that particular company, so his choices would be limited.
Moreover, he had never heard of this company.
After some hesitation, the teenager muttered, “Whatever, the internet cafe was quite full anyways. May as well try this one out to kill some time.”
He walked into the store and fished out his ID and mobile phone, “How much do you charge for an hour?”
Chen Mo replied, “Five bucks!”
The teenager was stunned, “Huh? Five bucks? Ugh… whatever.” The teenager decided to leave.
“…” Chen Mo was speechless. This guy didn’t even give it any thought! Five bucks an hour wasn’t much, right? Turning around and leaving immediately, though?
-Five bucks! What can you even do with five bucks nowadays? Maybe two popsicles?
-It’s not even enough to top-up in game, that’s like six bucks!…-
With no other choice, all Chen Mo could do was to continue waiting.
