Chapter 21 The Show is on
"Is the Internet Cafe owner very powerful?"
The person who asked this was someone who came for the first time today.
They had never interacted with Su Ran, so of course, they didn't know the situation.
They instinctively looked at Wu Lei and the other three with inquiring eyes.
"We don't know either!"
However, even Ouyang Qing, Oriental Bright, and Dugu Mu, despite having been to the Internet Cafe for several days, didn't really know Su Ran well.
Although they knew Su Ran often played games by himself, they hadn't paid much attention, being busy with their own games.
If anyone knew, it was only Wu Lei, who understood a little more. When he first came to the Internet Cafe, he saw Su Ran fighting a Anjanath.
At that time, he still thought Su Ran was quite formidable.
However, later, after he got into the game and recalled Su Ran's movements at the time, they seemed nothing special, just stable.
Even the current Wu Lei could do it.
Over these past few days, Wu Lei had become increasingly proficient in the game. Among all players, he was the one with the fastest progress, so his confidence was naturally soaring.
Wu Lei had originally thought that Su Ran, as the Internet Cafe owner, despite his mysterious background, might not necessarily be very strong himself.
But now, hearing Cold Condensation Moon say that all her experience and skills were taught by Su Ran, Wu Lei was naturally the most surprised one and couldn't help but confirm again.
"Are you sure these were really taught to you by the owner?"
"Of course, it's true!"
Cold Condensation Moon nodded.
Actually, when she first started playing this game, she felt a bit impatient when Su Ran was guiding her.
However, it wasn't until the monsters she encountered later became increasingly powerful and she couldn't defeat them that she tried following Su Ran's guidance, and it actually worked.
Later, she even proactively asked Su Ran for advice a few times and indeed found it much easier.
"Could this owner actually be a master?"
The more Cold Condensation Moon spoke like this, the more it aroused everyone's curiosity.
Some people couldn't even suppress the doubts in their hearts and walked directly behind Su Ran, looking at his computer screen.
"Oh my god!"
They instantly gasped, their faces filled with horror.
"What kind of desolate beast is the owner fighting?"
"This aura, this pressure, it's too terrifying!"
Everyone was startled and, hearing the commotion, all moved closer.
Upon seeing it.
They indeed saw Su Ran currently confronting a giant beast with four legs and two wings.
Beneath its enormous skeletal frame, this monster, in addition to its well-developed limbs and tail, also possessed a pair of huge wings. Its distinctive features included large white horns extending from its head to both sides, and its body was densely covered with countless bone spurs and thorns, making it look chilling.
What kind of monster was this?
Compared to such a terrifying monster, they felt that all the ones they had dealt with before seemed insignificant.
"This is the Extinction Dragon!"
It wasn't until Wu Lei suddenly spoke, revealing the identity of this monster.
"What!"
"This is the Ancient Dragon, the Extinction Dragon, you mentioned before?"
Wu Lei nodded gravely: "I only encountered it once when I was hunting the Melting Mountain Dragon, and I was almost instantly killed. I haven't encountered it again since, but I didn't expect the owner's game progress to be so far ahead of ours!"
At this point, everyone's gaze shifted from the Extinction Dragon back to Su Ran himself.
But when they saw that, aside from his slightly better weapon, the armor Su Ran was wearing was uniformly a beginner's set.
They were collectively dumbfounded.
What's going on?
At this moment, everyone's minds were full of question marks.
They wouldn't dare to dress like that even when facing ordinary monsters, let alone such a terrifying Ancient Dragon. Yet, he was only wearing a beginner's set?
Was he intentionally trying to get killed?
But at this moment, Su Ran, holding a Taichi Sword, was cautiously maintaining his distance from the Extinction Dragon, staring intently at the monster in front of him, his expression serious and focused.
The battle had not yet officially begun.
But he didn't seem to be letting his guard down at all.
And the Extinction Dragon, too, watched Su Ran with a pair of agile, dark eyes, not acting rashly.
The further one played, the more one would realize that these monsters possessed higher intelligence; they were by no means simple AI. They didn't just rush mindlessly at players.
They would also observe and pay attention to every move of the player, looking for an opportunity to kill the opponent with a single blow.
"This terrifying monster is also so intelligent. How do you even fight it?"
"The problem is, this owner is still wearing a beginner's set. Did he forget to change?"
Ouyang Qing couldn't help but complain.
However, Wu Lei immediately made a shushing gesture, staring intently at the screen.
"Don't say anything. Let's just watch first!"
This kind of terrifying monster, whose presence was so strong that you could feel it just by looking at the screen, was truly overwhelming.
Its strength would definitely not be weak.
He didn't believe the owner was an idiot who didn't know this.
Did he really forget to change, or was it intentional?
Not just Wu Lei, everyone wanted to know the answer.
...
And at this very moment.
At the entrance of the Internet Cafe, the hunting team, led by Zhao Tie, also walked in.
"We're here, this is it!"
"I was worried there wouldn't be any spots, but it looks like the Internet Cafe has added a lot of computers, that's good!"
"Let's hurry to the counter and ask the owner to start our machines!"
Zhao Tie seemed a bit impatient at this point.
"Ah? Oh, Brother Zhao, you go ahead and play first. We're not in a hurry, not in a hurry!"
"Right, we plan to watch first before deciding!"
However, the others who came with Zhao Tie weren't as enthusiastic as he was. They were indeed initially intrigued by Zhao Tie's exaggerated descriptions, which was why they wanted to come and see.
But now, seeing that the Internet Cafe Zhao Tie spoke of was just an ordinary-looking small shop, their doubts grew stronger.
"Do you think Brother Zhao might have been tricked?"
"Hmm, possibly. This place doesn't look as magical as he described, no matter how you look at it!"
"But Brother Zhao's strength has indeed improved. Could Brother Zhao be lying?"
"This… I don't know either!"
"But this small shop is quite lively. There are many people standing over there. I wonder what they're looking at?"
"Perfect, let's go and take a look!"
Everyone discussed as they walked over.
As they looked through the crowd at the computer screen, the Extinction Dragon on the screen just happened to let out a roar.
"Holy crap, what's going on!"
Everyone suddenly shivered, startled.
"Oh my god, how can there be a desolate beast in this metal device? And what kind of desolate beast is this? I've never seen such a terrifying desolate beast!"
"Good thing it seems to be a battle projection. Look, there's even a person inside preparing to fight that desolate beast!"
"One person challenging such a strong desolate beast, this person must be crazy!"
"That's the owner!" Zhao Tie had originally gone to the counter to find Su Ran, but finding no one, he came over and, upon seeing the screen, also said with a shocked expression.
"This metal device is a computer. The owner is playing the game I told you about, but I don't know what kind of desolate beast the owner is facing. I haven't encountered it either, but looking at its aura, it feels even more terrifying than the Melting Mountain Dragon!"
"Is this really a game?"
"Uh… I think I'm starting to believe Brother Zhao now!"
"Me too!"
Although everyone hadn't fully understood what was happening, they had a feeling of awe-inspiring mystery. They stopped talking and stared intently at the screen.
The battle was about to erupt!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath!
