I have a GBA

Chapter 1 Is this a GBA?

"Here are all your father's relics."

Yan Chong looked up at the talking woman in front of him.

It was a beautiful woman in her 30s.

A black professional attire constrains her perfect figure, while the bun on the top of her head and hard black-rimmed glasses isolate her supposedly seductive appearance.

There is no name on the golden breastplate on her heart, only the number "0031", and the professional smirk on her face also has a taste of no strangers.

Half an hour ago, she was the one who called Yan Chong and asked him to pick up his things at 100 Central Avenue.

I thought this was another new type of scam, but driven by curiosity, Yan Chong, who only had a bus card in his pocket, looked for it according to the address.

Qingbei Foundation.

It was the first time Yan Chong had heard of this name, and he did not expect that they owned an entire building in the city center where every inch of land was expensive.

They are so rich, they shouldn't lie to me, a poor student, right?
After verifying her identity, the beauty took Yan Chong to the next cubicle and sat down. There was a metal suitcase on the table in the room.

"This is all your father's relics." The beauty said.

"He's dead?" Yan Chong couldn't believe it.

The beauty smiled and nodded, but there was a mockery in her eyes.

Since it has been said to be a relic, his father must be dead.

"How did he die?" Yan Chong asked hastily.

"Sorry, no comment." The beautiful woman said again.

The meaning of no comment is often: "I know, but I won't tell you!"

With such an official diplomatic rhetoric, Yan Chong didn't know how to speak for a while.

"What about his body?" After a moment of silence, Yan Chong asked again.

"Sorry, no comment." The beauty still said the same thing.

Yan Chong: "..."

Do you believe me or not?
But this time Yan Chong felt relaxed.

The matter of the dead person did not go through the police, and he became more and more certain that this beauty was a liar.

"Then let me take a look first." Yan Chong said, "Let me make it clear first, you have found the wrong person for Pengci!"

The box was opened, and on the sponge cushion lay a strange appliance the size of a mobile phone, three metal coins with stars painted on it, and a white card.

Yan Chong had never seen any of them.

That strange device has a blue shell, with several buttons on each side, and a rectangular fluorescent screen in the middle, with the English letters "GAME-BOY-ADVANCE" written on it.

The metal coins are larger than the coins in circulation on the market, and are about the size of chips used in casinos. Yan Chong picked up two coins and tapped them lightly, making a "ding ding" sound.

The card was made of plastic, both sides were pure white, and a metal chip was embedded on one side. It was more like an express hotel room card than a bank card.

"What are these for?" Yan Chong asked again.

"Sorry, no comment." The beauty still said the same thing.

"Okay, I understand." Yan Chong closed the box, stood up, and prepared to take away the things.

No matter what it is, something that is given for nothing, don't want it for nothing.

"Sir, the things in the box are your father's relics, and you can take them away at will." The beauty said, "But this box is not. If you insist on taking it, please pay 5000 yuan. The foundation supports cash, Credit card, WeChat, Alipay."

Yan Chong: "..."

This was the first time he had heard this beauty talk so much since he came here.

You also said that you are not a fraud organization?
Humph, are you selling boxes?

Fortunately, Yan Chong was well prepared. He poured those strange things into his schoolbag, and said to the beauty: "If you dare to ask me for a deposit, I will call the police!"

Seeing that the beauty didn't intend to stop her, Yan Chong turned around and left.

"Looking forward to your next visit!" Behind him, the beautiful woman said calmly.

Such a common sentence, to Yan Chong's ears, is like cursing.

Hey, he's here to pick up the relics!
What the hell is next time?

I took your ashes away, believe it?
After leaving the Qingbei Foundation and boarding the bus home, Yan Chong now had time to take out his mobile phone and search for what those relics were.

The coins with stars and the white card are still clueless, Yan Chong suspects that this group of scammers came from the small commodity wholesale city.

But the words "GAME-BOY-ADVANCE" on that strange appliance are the key to solving the problem.

Soon Yan Chong found a bunch of results.

It was in early 2001 that a handheld game console, referred to as GBA, was released by Nintendo, which brought endless joy to the older generation.

But Yan Chong is born in 00, and has been exposed to smartphones since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't know about this kind of antique.

Yan Chong searched for the price again, um, it really isn't worth much...

Yan Chong guessed that these liars must be trying to deceive themselves with this kind of cheap goods that young people have never seen before.

Luckily I am smart!
Otherwise, I really thought my father was dead!

You bloody liars!
It's a shame to lie to people with this kind of thing!

Yan Chong continued casually flipping through the relevant information of the GBA, and found that this primitive game machine actually needs to use AA batteries as a power source, and the games are not downloaded through the Internet, but the corresponding cassettes need to be purchased.

"Even the game consoles have been eliminated, I'm afraid the cassettes will no longer be available!" Yan Chong exclaimed.

The GBA in Yan Chong's hands is not equipped with a cassette, if there is no cassette, then it is just a decoration, and naturally it is worthless.

Then Yan Chong turned to a picture of a GBA cassette. He suddenly recalled that when he was young, he seemed to have indeed seen his father playing this kind of thing, and there were quite a few cassettes.

When there were no toys to play with, he would use these cassette tapes to build blocks, as if there were a few pieces left in his toy box.

Back home, the first thing Yan Chong did was to step on the stool and move the big suitcase off the cabinet.

A lot of useless rags were put in it, and he found the toy box from his childhood in it.

And in the toy box, there were three old GBA cassettes.

"Kirby", "Ace Attorney", "Castlevania"!
Yan Chong dug out two batteries from the drawer, impatiently put the cassette on, then took a deep breath and turned on the power.

The screen is on!

Although it is the original Japanese version, although it is a pixel-style game, although it is full of a sense of time, Yan Chong soon discovered that the games of that era were actually very interesting!

While he was playing, his mother sent a message: "I'm going out with your Uncle Huang tonight, and I didn't prepare a meal for you, so go out and have a bite by yourself."

Then there is a red envelope of ten yuan.

Mom, you really love me!

Ten yuan is not even enough to buy a big bowl of ramen now.

But for Yan Chong now, the ten yuan is undoubtedly a life-saving straw. After all, the power indicator light of the GBA using used batteries is already red.

He hurried downstairs, bought all the ten yuan meal money into batteries, and then went home to play games to his heart's content.

A few hours passed by this time.

It is also Yan Chong who is more talented in playing games. He even cleared the level of "Kirby of the Star", which has the lowest language requirements!
At this time, a man's voice actually came out from the game console: "Son, do you want to live a life of mediocrity like now, or like a hero, even if you encounter various difficulties, you have to walk colorfully?" go down?"

This startled Yan Chong.

Why did you just call him your son?

What about taking advantage?
