Liang Shi quickly began the game and found that he could truly experience almost completely realistic battles inside. In this mansion filled with traps, it was like carrying out a special mission during a campaign, and everything was extremely realistic!
"Can this place actually simulate a real battle?!" The more he explored in the game, the more shocked he became!
He discovered that this seemingly luxurious and bright mansion was far from simple! It was filled with traps and swarming with invincible monsters!
He was a formal martial artist but did not belong to any faction.
In the Great Jin Kingdom, there were many martial artists like him. After all, not all martial artists could endure the constraints of major factions, or perhaps, a life of bowing and scraping to others was not what they wanted.
But when there were no ways to earn money, to maintain their livelihood, they would sometimes accept employment to do dangerous jobs that others were unwilling to do.
He had once taken on a rather dangerous mission, rescuing hostages from a group of bandits. Now, thinking about it, this game was not much different from that situation!
He immediately started to experience the game. The more he played, the more astonished he became. The battles were incredibly realistic, the monsters never died, and the traps were devious and vicious! Several times, he narrowly escaped death!
But the most important point was that he could respawn after dying! Remember the lessons and try again!
This undoubtedly showed the power of this game called "Resident Evil"!
He remembered that rescue mission, where he had been careless and fell into the bandits' trap, almost dying! If it weren't for his good luck, he would have really died there!
That was all because he lacked experience and was not cautious enough, leading to such a situation!
But to gain such life-and-death experiences, one had to risk their life!
Could money buy such life-and-death training?
The answer was definitely no!
Moreover, he found that after killing a few zombies, his cultivation had subtly changed!
It was actually beneficial to his cultivation?! This made him think of the martial arts tower at Lingyun Academy, a place for cultivation.
But this is clearly a game!?
Moreover, he wasn't even cultivating inside!
He was incredibly shocked. Could this be something created by cultivators?
If this is called a game, then it is far superior to any existing game!
He had even thought about how to punish the despicable boss earlier?
Now, it seemed he had been completely out of his mind! Believing rumors without verification!
He had personally done such things before, so he could better empathize: "No matter how expensive it is, I, Liang Shi, will come here!"
"But if you're going to play, take my spot!" Fang Qi looked depressed.
Fortunately, the system's task of filling the internet cafe was completed.
Liu Qingfeng, who had just died again, was extremely frustrated. He glanced at Fang Qi, who was sitting idly, and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss, I think you should get more computers for your shop."
Fang Qi glanced at the system task.
Fill the internet cafe within three days: Completed.
Task reward: Seven computers and配套设施.
The task reward will be distributed after the shop closes.
New task: Total revenue of the internet cafe reaches 800 spirit crystals.
Task progress: 87/800.
Task reward: "Resident Evil 1 Movie Edition."
There's even a "Resident Evil 1 Movie Edition"? I pay 2 spirit crystals per hour to watch a movie at the internet cafe?
"What use is this thing?" Although it can't be denied that the movie adaptation of "Resident Evil 1" is actually quite good, it can be considered a supplement to the first game's plot, but who would waste so much money to watch a movie at the internet cafe?
"Are you sure you're not messing with me?" Fang Qi said with a depressed look.
"The host will know when the time comes."
"..."
But the good news is that the number of computers in the shop can increase to 11 tomorrow.
"Don't worry, it will be there tomorrow." Fang Qi touched his nose, glanced at Liu Qingfeng, and chuckled, "Are you guys almost out of time?"
Liu Qingfeng, who had just been smug, immediately turned grim upon hearing Fang Qi's words.
Before he could check the time, Lin Shao and Xu Luo pointed at the computer and shouted: "Boss, what does this time limit mean?"
Fang Qi leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Each person can play for a maximum of 6 hours per day. That's the rule of this internet cafe."
"What kind of nonsense rule? If I have money, I can't play?" Lin Shao immediately objected, "I'll pay double!"
Seeing the two men's frustrated expressions, Liu Qingfeng secretly laughed. Wasn't he the same yesterday?
Fang Qi shrugged: "A rule is a rule."
"What do you mean!" Xu Luo said angrily, "Not enough? How about five times?"
If both of them paid five times, that would mean he would receive 20 spirit crystals per hour!
Fang Qi looked at the two men with a headache: "System?"
"I'm here." The system's voice sounded in Fang Qi's mind.
"Are you really not considering it? I'll take 10% after the fact."
"Each activation of this system consumes energy. Please do not waste the system's energy with such questions. I will not answer them in the future."
"Since you're so awesome, why don't you just fly away!" Fang Qi cursed the system in his mind countless times, but...
What can I do? I'm also desperate.
"Without rules, there is no order. Since the rules are set, they must be followed." Fang Qi had to shake his head righteously.
"Even if we have money, we can't play?" The two men were furious, "Do you know who we are? Do you think we won't destroy your shop?"
Fang Qi's mouth twitched. Indeed, martial artists' minds were full of muscles. Why did they all think of destroying the shop?
Every inch of the floor in this shop, even every tile, was produced by the system. Fang Qi pursed his lips and glanced at the two men: "If you can destroy it, go ahead."
Fang Qi pointed to the blackboard: "But don't blame me for not warning you. This shop will never serve such customers in the future."
Liu Qingfeng frowned and finally stepped forward to stop the two men: "Brother Xu, Brother Lin, the boss is a man of rules. Since that's the case, we should follow the rules. Besides, it's already afternoon. If we don't go to Lingyun Academy for the assessment, we'll really miss the time."
Liu Qingfeng had investigated Fang Qi and knew his identity: a descendant of a martial artist.
And not a great martial artist.
Such an identity was too ordinary!
But precisely because it was too ordinary, it was clear that Fang Qi could not have created such a powerful thing.
So, how did these things come about? Who was backing him? No one could guess!
In any case, they didn't just appear out of nowhere!
Therefore, although he had a clear understanding, he felt that Fang Qi was shrouded in a mysterious fog!
This unknown was the most daunting!
Since the boss is a man of rules, and everyone is treated the same, there's no reason to be dissatisfied. Causing trouble? Causing trouble over a game? It would be a laughingstock! There's no need.
Even Liu Qingfeng spoke up. Although the two men were unhappy, they had to give up: "Fine, since Young Master Liu said so, we'll come back tomorrow!"
