Shen immediately logged off after the announcement that he had passed the Open Qualifier. He rushed out of the gaming capsule, running outside toward Uncle Wen's shop. He was excited to share the news with Uncle Wen, Auntie Jun, Sis Mei, and Eunha. They all knew that he had participated in the competition.
The shop was not as crowded as the morning, but still packed with people. The customers calmed him down a bit, and he walked into the shop. Most of the customers were the neighborhood uncles and aunties, Uncle Wen's friends.
"Shen!" A man in his late forties called him out, waving his hand to Shen, who had just entered the shop, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you for like a month or two months?"
"Hello, Uncle Wei," Shen politely greeted the man who sat with the other three uncles. He recognized all of them, so he greeted the other uncles too, "I am still doing the same, but I have been busy lately because I entered a competition."
