"I'm in the Dragon Clan, what the heck is the Naruto Counterattack System?"

The internet cafe under the lights was filled with smoke, which rose like clouds to the ceiling, only to be dispersed by the exhaust fan.

Some cheered, some jumped for joy, some danced excitedly, and some cursed that the computer was too slow.

Snapped!

"Two bottles of Nutritional Express, two buckets of instant noodles, two braised eggs, and two sausages."

With red eyes and a dejected look on his face, Lu Mingfei walked to the front desk, slapped several crumpled bills on the counter, and hesitated before saying, "Add two more... no, add a chicken leg."

"Wow, you're going all in?"

The shirtless, shirtless boss, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, had an expression that suggested he'd seen it all before. He could tell at a glance that this was another kid who'd been beaten into submission. He casually ordered, "Two sausages, three braised eggs, four chicken legs, instant noodles or braised pork?"

"Four chicken drumsticks? The price has gone up again?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, then sighed and said, "Never mind, I'll just get braised instant noodles."

A short while later, Lu Mingfei, carrying two bowls of instant noodles, walked back to the last row of computers in the internet cafe and saw that Qi Xiuyuan was now surrounded by people.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

Standing at the very back, Lu Mingfei stood on tiptoe and could just see Qi Xiuyuan's computer screen. The opposing defenders still had two people left, while he, as an attacker, was all alone.

Just as Qi Xiuyuan arrived at point B with his bag, a person suddenly jumped out from the corner platform, and at the same time, someone else appeared on the ground, clearly intending for the two of them to coordinate their aim.

Bang!Bang bang!

A bullet accurately struck the man on the platform in the head, killing him instantly. Before his body could fall, the gun was pulled back and two bullets blew the other man's head off.

"They managed to turn the tables?!"

"Holy crap! Wiped out the whole team, awesome!"

The guys behind him seemed even more excited than he was, exclaiming "Holy crap!" and "Awesome!" repeatedly. These simple words were their highest praise.

But the exclamations had barely begun, and before the next round even started, a notification suddenly popped up on Qi Xiuyuan's screen.

He was kicked out.

Wiping out a team in 30 shots, killing two in a second, tearing apart a sniper rifle with a Desert Eagle, every shot a headshot, never missing, as if entering an empty field, it's really too exaggerated, even his teammates thought he was playing dirty.

Even the group of guys standing behind Qi Xiuyuan would have thought he was cheating if they hadn't watched the whole thing.

"Dude, are you sure you didn't open it?" one guy couldn't help but ask. "Your thinking is so clear, how did you train like that? You're wearing a mask, are you a pro player?"

"No, I'm just a regular player, I just play a lot," Qi Xiuyuan said casually without changing his expression.

He was telling the truth; he was already quick-witted, and now he had several years of experience...

Okay, there might be a tiny bit of a reason, it's because of the way chakra is extracted in the brain.

Qi Xiuyuan now knows what chakra is, but even in the Naruto world, not all humans have chakra.

Because natural energy is the native power of the Naruto world, while chakra actually originates from the Otsutsuki clan's divine tree.

Whether it was because his body's chakra talent was too poor, or because there was no Divine Tree in this world, he was never able to refine chakra.

But what everyone, including humans in the Dragon Clan world, possesses is the spiritual energy and physical energy generated by the cells in their body.

Chakra is the result of mixing spiritual and physical energy in a specific ratio to refine chakra, allowing for changes in nature and form to be used in ninjutsu.

The methods for manipulating physical and mental energy were enough to give Qi Xiuyuan greater control over his body and mind, making it easy for him to dominate a game or even a weaker opponent.

Now, Qi Xiuyuan was even more curious about whether he could use the "Instantaneous Movement Technique" and the "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique".

Thinking of this, he glanced at the people sitting to his side and behind him, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

If all goes well, we should have the opportunity to try it soon.

"Master, transport ship, wanna spar?"

"Me too, me too, it's making my hands itch to join in."

"Hey bro, let's just call it a teaching station, we'll cover your internet bill!"

Qi Xiuyuan's smile still hinted at youthful spirit, but he waved his hand and pointed to Lu Mingfei behind the crowd, saying with a smile, "Forget it, I came with a friend this time, we can talk about it next time."

Lu Mingfei, who was pointed at and attracted everyone's attention, stiffened involuntarily. He held the instant noodles in his hands and forced a smile, looking like a little eunuch.

However, seeing that Qi Xiuyuan had indeed come with friends, the group didn't say anything more and agreed to meet again next time before returning to their seats.

"call."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down, pushing the instant noodles with egg, sausage, and chicken leg in front of Qi Xiuyuan, while keeping the instant noodles without chicken leg for himself.

"Such a strong reaction?"

Qi Xiuyuan found it somewhat amusing, glanced at the braised eggs and sausage in his bowl, and casually said, "With your StarCraft skills, you must have received a lot of praise in the past, right?"

"It's different." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and said jokingly, "Being a friend of a campus celebrity is much more stressful than playing StarCraft with a red dot."

"What kind of celebrity are you? Want me to give you some kind of blessing?"

Seemingly oblivious to the subtle probing and humility in his words, Qi Xiuyuan casually pointed to the braised egg in his instant noodle cup and asked, "Do you want some braised egg?"

"?"

We've only known each other for a short time, why are you being so friendly? Is this what it means to be a "normie"?

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "No, thank you."

"Oh, thank you."

Upon hearing this, under Lu Mingfei's astonished gaze, Qi Xiuyuan reached into his bucket with a fork and scooped out the braised egg with one fork.

"?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked down at his last remaining intestine, and his eye twitched involuntarily.

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes with ill intent, mimicking Qi Xiuyuan's earlier gesture, pointed to the sausage in his bucket, and asked, "Do you eat sausage?"

As he spoke, he had already gripped the fork, staring intently at the sausages in Qi Xiuyuan's bucket, like Runtu in a melon patch holding a steel fork, ready to poke a badger.

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him and nodded without hesitation: "Eat, thank you."

After saying that, he suddenly stretched the fork in his hand towards Lu Mingfei and put the last piece of sausage back into his bucket.

"??"

Lu Mingfei looked at his overflowing instant noodle bucket, then looked down at his own empty instant noodle bucket, his head full of question marks.

No, buddy, you...

"call!"

After quickly finishing what was in his bucket, Qi Xiuyuan let out a breath, sat up, and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was staring blankly, and said with a smile, "It's getting late, I'll head back first. This time, the internet fee is on you."

"However, regarding that question you asked me earlier..."

As he spoke, he patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and casually said, "The only advice I can give you is to be yourself. In this world, everyone has their own snowfall, their own hidden darkness and their own light. There's no need to force anything."

"..." Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked up, his eyes fixed on Qi Xiuyuan, his gaze clear yet foolish, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"To put it nicely, those who cannot obey themselves will be ordered by others; to put it bluntly..."

As if he had thought of something, Qi Xiuyuan suddenly smiled and said, "If you care too much about what others think of you, you'll become their underwear, and you'll have to take the blame for whatever they say."

That's all I have to say. Figure out what it means yourself.

After speaking, he raised the hand that was on Lu Mingfei's shoulder and waved it. Under Lu Mingfei's gaze, he walked out of the noisy and chaotic internet cafe without looking back.

Jingle bell~

It wasn't until his figure disappeared from sight and the rusty bell on the door rang that Lu Mingfei gradually came back to his senses.

"..."

He subconsciously scratched his head, then turned to look at his empty instant noodle container. For some reason, maybe because he was happy, or maybe because he was angry, he couldn't help but laugh, and his tense heart relaxed.

Would you stick a fork into someone's instant noodle cup if you weren't friends? Would you make a joke like that if you weren't friends?

Although Qi Xiuyuan didn't say it directly, his meaning was already quite clear.

"Using this method to eliminate the other person's tension and the barrier between us?" Lu Mingfei sighed and muttered to himself with a self-deprecating tone, "It really is a thousand times better than saying bad things."

As it turned out, Qi Xiuyuan was completely different from what he had imagined. In just less than a day of getting to know each other, his impression of Qi Xiuyuan was completely shattered.

I thought Qi Xiuyuan's personality was as gentle as most people said, but now I find that when facing people he dislikes, he can also directly show his condescending arrogance to express his emotions.

I thought someone like him would be difficult to get along with, but he managed to blend in with the crowd in this vulgar and messy place, and gently bridge the gap and eliminate barriers.

All these actions refreshed Lu Mingfei's impression of him, while also leaving Lu Mingfei unsure which one was the real him.

Or, as Qi Xiuyuan said, he never cared about other people's opinions of him; in fact, these were all his own.

They are always gentle yet distant towards strangers, and they express their dissatisfaction with people and things they dislike without hesitation rather than forcing a smile. However, they are generous in building closer relationships with people they find interesting.

This is Qi Xiuyuan.

Those who cannot obey themselves will be commanded by others.

He only obeys his own orders, even from Lu Mingfei and the system.
