Dalong Internet Cafe... With a rather simple name, it is hidden in an alley, in a blind spot where the sun shines. If the flashing neon lights were not too dazzling, Lin Tuo would not have noticed.
However, through the window, it can be seen that the business is very hot, probably related to the fact that it is located near the school, and I don't know the state of the school in the shelter, but it is not bad.
Do you want to go in? ... the feeling of being sleepy and sending a pillow.
Lin Tuo was hesitating when two students in school uniforms walked over together, and the one behind was still a little reluctant:
"Still playing "Warlord", I'm tired of it."
"There is a reward, virtual warehouse, don't worry, I asked the master about the strategy yesterday, and today I broke through it in one go." As he said that, the young man in the lead probably felt that he was blowing too much, so he added:
"Even if you can't beat it, as long as you rank first among the participants in the Internet cafe. I have already figured it out. I will play for a few days to get addicted, and then sublet it out to earn a lot of money."
"Fine."
The two students were talking, and pushed open the door without noticing that a "ghost" entered in a flash.
"Come? How long?"
Entering the door is the bar counter, and there is a puffy middle-aged man sitting inside. The boss is also a part-time network administrator. At this moment, he accepted the cards thrown by two students with a smile and asked.
"Two hours!"
"Machine No. 14 and No. 15, only these two are left connected." Picking up the card and swiping it on the ether machine, the owner of the Internet cafe put it back and said.
"Okay." Watching the two teenagers leave, the middle-aged man leaned back, listening to the noisy sounds in the Internet cafe, showing a leisurely expression.
The internet cafe is not too small. It has two floors. You can’t see clearly if you don’t go up to the second floor. Just look at the areas on the first floor, they are quite lively. Most of the seats are full, and the environment is not bad, better than Lin Tuo expected.
At this moment, the sound effects of game battles came from the slightly stuffy air, mixed with the voices of excited or disappointed people.
"Out of the knife! Out of the knife! Nice!"
"Follow me, why are you refunding? Really..."
"Oh~"
But there is no clacking sound of the keyboard, which is quite unaccustomed.
There are colorful banners on the roof, and competition posters on the walls, colorful and colorful, which really has an atmosphere.
Lin Tuo found an open space, quickly scanned the content of the poster, and quickly understood the situation.
Although the virtual games of this era are developed, the price of a full set of "brain machines" that can truly achieve game performance is not low, and those on the subway belong to the basic version.
It’s okay for office work and web browsing, but it’s not enough for playing games.
In addition, this is the eighth ring, on the edge of the middle ring and the outer ring, the economy is underdeveloped, and the Dalong Internet Cafe has never been equipped, and only traditional machines are kept.
Until now, the virtual game area has not been opened. The so-called "War King" challenge is a new activity.
Players play a fighting game called "Warlord", and if they pass the 15th level with the highest difficulty, or they are ranked first before the end of the event, they will win.
Single brush or two-player online can be used, of course, the difficulty of two people will also increase.
However, there are no masters in this small place, and it is basically impossible to pass the level. The best score so far has only reached the tenth level.
Of course Lin Tuo is not interested in this competition, but he is very interested in the prizes.
Withdrawing his gaze, he floated to the game area like a ghost, and began to observe quietly.
It is indeed different from the "computer" outside, there is no keyboard or mouse.
A set of tables and chairs, a large screen, and a box underneath... The player wears a basic "brain computer" on his head, and can manipulate the movement of the characters on the screen while lying down.
The game screen is somewhat similar to the arcade King of Fighters, with a good sense of impact, Lin Tuo didn't make a sound, just observed silently, if one machine failed, he just changed it.
Those who dare to participate have some skills, at least the first few levels are easy.
You can learn a lot by observing.
Five minutes later, he had a basic understanding of the game.
Ten minutes later, he had mastered several fighting routines.
Twenty minutes later, he memorized all the character's skills and basic points, and used super high mental power to simulate the battle process in his mind.
…
Thirty minutes later, he took a look at a tense-looking young man who had reached the ninth level, and thought that it was time to stop there.
In the next second, the blood bar of the character controlled by the boy bottomed out, the screen went dark, and a huge game over popped out.
"This game is not for people to play! Shit!"
The irascible young man's mental state collapsed, he took off his brain computer suddenly, threw it on the table, cursed angrily, his face was flushed, and he looked extremely excited.
It attracted the attention of other players around, and then turned away in shame and indignation.
"You still have time on your machine, are you leaving now?" the owner of the Internet cafe reminded with a smile.
"I'm happy!" The young man roared arrogantly, pushed the door open and walked out with a cool back.
The owner of the Internet cafe laughed more and more happily. Sitting on the table all day is very boring. It is quite interesting to watch people's mentality collapse occasionally. After thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced, suddenly startled.
It was found that there was an extra person on the boy's seat at some point.
…
…
It was probably because of the similarity of the times. People in this era wore similar clothes to those on Earth. When Lin Tuo came in, he didn't wear a cape, but only a solid-color T-shirt and shorts.
Although placed in the crowd, although the temperament is prominent, but you can't tell if you don't look closely.
Players who focus on the game don't care where someone appears. Even the owner of an Internet cafe can't remember everyone, let alone rush.
Anyway, the machines were all on, and it was the same for anyone playing, so I just glanced curiously, and then looked away again.
At this moment, Lin Tuo, who was sitting on the chair, was wearing the "brain machine" on his head with some novelty.
Immediately, a pop-up window of "device reconnection" flashed on the screen. With a thought, I clicked X, and the screen returned to the first level of "Warlord".
Interface for selecting characters.
It was the first time for Lin Tuo to use mind control to play games. Lin Tuo felt that it was quite new, but firstly, his mental power was strong, and secondly, the process of drawing the Dao pattern in his mind was similar to this.
There is not much barrier to entry, of course, you still need to get used to it.
Randomly choose a character, the card flashes on the screen, and the screen turns to a ring, with cartoon audience shouting and moving sound effects in the ear.
"Get ready... to start!"
A line of bright red text fluttered, and the game character on the opposite side swung a heavy hammer and smashed it.
Lin Tuo thought, operating the character to move, jump, release skills, dodge... There was no way, it was a mess, the blood bar dropped rapidly, it was horrible, and the screen went dark within fifteen seconds.
He didn't feel any frustration either, he just started the round again... Since it was the first level, he didn't have to worry about falling.
Still moving, jumping, dodging... This time there was a slight improvement, but the HP still bottomed out after forty seconds.
In the third game, it lasted for a minute, but it still failed.
In the fourth round, I tried to counterattack and knocked out half of the opponent's blood, but failed.
The player on the machine next to him was older than Lin Tuo. He didn't look like a student, but rather an office worker. Seeing a change of people, he looked curiously and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to give some pointers, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
Turning his head to focus on his screen again, he sighed in his heart, thinking that any contestant would dare to compete.
However, what he didn't notice was that after the fifth defeat with only a slight margin of blood, a smile appeared on Lin Tuo's face that didn't show the slightest bit of frustration:
"It looks much simpler than expected."
Thinking about it, Lin Tuo finally decided to end the process of familiarizing himself with the operation and start playing seriously. After all... He glanced at the timer in the corner of the screen...
"It's time to hurry up." He muttered softly.
Lin Tuo looked at the selection interface on the screen again. This time, he chose a character who had already calculated that he had the highest winning rate, the thinnest blood, the strongest explosive power, and the most difficult to operate.
"Get ready... to start!"
In the ears, the sound effects of the game sounded.
In the next second, the character controlled by Lin Tuo rushed forward in an instant and launched a complete set of combos. In the blink of an eye, the enemy's blood bar was emptied and fell down.
There is no room for counterattack.
"Congratulations on winning!" Ribbons flew out from the four corners of the screen, and cheers rang out.
The first level, customs clearance time:
three seconds.
…
Ask for a recommendation ticket on Monday. . .
