I'm just an internet cafe owner

Xiaoyuan realized she had been caught, glanced at Miki Sayaka's position, and then flanked down the bottom lane to gank Shubi. She had to ensure she died slower than Shubi, because that way, her team would get first blood and have a gold advantage.

"It's still early, we can't lose."

A pink light emanated from Xiaoyuan's body, and in her Ring of Truth state, she gained a significant increase in attack speed and spell vamp.

The Celestial Flying Immortal skill does indeed deal high damage, but unfortunately, it's not invincible. To be precise, in the current state of the game, apart from certain equipment, very few characters have invincible skills. As long as you react quickly, you can hit it.

Giving up on attacking Minato Namikaze is pointless; he's too fast and incredibly experienced, and an attack on him would likely miss. Kirito, on the other hand, while fast, lacks experience, and his aerial skills are practically nonexistent. Kirito, however, is the one with no way to dodge.

With her bow and arrows aimed at the sky, each arrow that struck Kirito hit him. After each hit, she followed up with a volley of arrows to heal herself while inflicting minor damage on Kirito and the suddenly appearing Minato.

That's right, all of Madoka's skills deal low damage; only her normal attack maintains a normal ranged damage level, but even that is lower than most ranged attacks. It's precisely because she's a god that, if she's not weakened, no one will be able to fight her.

Even so, when the two attacked at the same time, and Madoka gave up dodging, Kirito hit half of his ultimate move, and Madoka only seemed to lose a third of her health.

"It's not over yet."

Madoka continued her attack, but Minato Namikaze's attack arrived as well.

Flying Thunder God Technique! Flying Thunder God Technique Two! A barrage of physical attacks followed. Madoka kept dodging, but Minato Namikaze was faster. Just as Madoka was about to retreat back into the tower's attack range, Minato successfully defeated her.

Meanwhile, in the bottom lane, Sayaka Miki launched a surprise attack. Her skills are very strong. Her passive increases basic damage, her first skill is a dash, her second skill is damage mitigation, her third skill provides continuous attacks within its range, and her fourth skill's first attack increases attack range and triggers her passive while not calculating its cooldown. Her active effect resets her ultimate's passive effect. If used well, she can unleash three attacks in a second, guaranteeing the death of any squishy target.

She's now at level six, while Hugh is only at level five.

However, Zhongli saw her actions. On her first time returning home, Zhongli bought three wards but didn't log in. By placing these wards, Zhongli gained vision of Sayaka Miki and guessed that she was going to ambush her from behind.

Just looking at the experience bar, it's still a while before level six. But it's not a big problem. When Sayaka rushed out, Zhongli, who had saved his skills, erected a pillar.

The pillar appeared precisely in her path, sending her flying into the air. After being knocked back, her first strike was blocked by Zhongli, who had flashed in, but even with the shield, the strike still cost Zhongli a third of his health.

Realizing she had struck the wrong target, Sayaka Miki had no chance to change her target, so she aimed her second strike at Zhongli.

Killing anyone is the same as killing. Three strikes might not be enough to kill Zhongli instantly, but it's not a big problem. Mami Tomoe and Homura Akemi have already arrived.

Zhongli, having taken two hits, was left with only a third of his health. However, as Sayaka Miki delivered her third blow, Zhongli subtly shifted his body, and the attack missed.

But at that very moment, Homura Akemi activated Time Stop. However, Shiro's reaction speed was even faster; she used Flash to jump to the turret, a distance that would have taken her more than five seconds to reach.

As time stopped, Shubi completely ignored Homura Akemi behind her, pointing her gun at Sayaka Miki, who was about to finish her off: "General!"

Bullets were fired, along with the statistics of the defensive towers. Art director Sayaka wanted to leave, but the moment she was hit by a bullet, she felt her body go numb and become uncontrollable.

Shubi's passive ability, Weakness Detection, paralyzes the enemy for one second upon hitting a designated weak point. With a ten-second cooldown, this skill is almost impossible for most people to trigger, but thanks to Shubi's exceptional calculations, every bullet accurately hits the weak point.

When the paralysis ended, Zhongli's pillar reconnected, leaving Sayaka Miki with nowhere to retreat.

The bottom lane also successfully secured a kill. While kills broke out in the mid and bottom lanes, Sakura Kyoko in the top lane also achieved a solo kill.

Nyarko, who was solo killed, felt terrible: "Waaaaah, I'm just a useless Nyarko, did you really have to kill me at level six? Damn it, you even had three True Sight Wards, what did I do to deserve this?"

Chapter 170 Kirito: "Dual Swords! Ah!!!"

"Dual swordsmanship!! Ah!!!"

Kirito, the wounded assassin, launched a fierce attack on the enemy's squishy ADC. Four-Sided Slash! Demonic Sword Assault! Sonic Speed ​​Boost culminated in an invincible dual-wielding technique.

The whole process was smooth and efficient, but apart from the Demon Sword Invasion barely touching a tiny part of Mami Tomoe's body, the other skills didn't hit her at all.

The Four Directions Slash rushed on its way, the Sonic Impact was dodged, resulting in the Sonic Overpowering the Human, and finally the strongest Heavenly Flying Immortal was unleashed, but it was launched into the air and then shot in the head by Mami Tomoe, killing it instantly.

Inside the spring, Kirito, awaiting resurrection, stared blankly at the sky. He had always felt he had great talent; even in the SAO beta version, he was considered a well-known player.

How come in this game, I've become someone who gets slaughtered?

Seeing Kirito's silent expression, Nyarlathotep, who had just died and returned home, patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, don't be sad. You're the only ordinary person on both sides, and it's amazing that you could fight like this. Besides, this one doesn't even need us to carry. We just need to play a harassing role."

骚然作用，指的是奈亚子5/5/5，桐人0/11/0.桐人这个战绩已经可以很多疾风剑豪玩家一较高下了。

However, the only advantage of Kirito's "closed" ability is that no one except his teammates can see any of his stats, whether it's kills, last hits, or assists. Although kills and assists are recorded automatically.

However, he couldn't last-hit minions. Several times he appeared to be ganking, but actually he stole the enemy's jungle and was taken down by the enemy jungler Sayaka with three consecutive Curtain Call attacks.

Overall, things are good, because you've died so many times that you're no longer valuable, while your ADC has gotten strong.

Shubi possesses computing power exceeding that of artificial intelligence and combat experience bestowed upon her by the entire network of machine-type beings. Compared to ordinary people, Mami Tomoe is much stronger, but compared to Shubi, she is still somewhat weaker.

Even with the Reincarnation Flame activating time stop, Shubi can still calculate the opponent's approximate location and suppress them with firepower. What's more, this time the support is Zhongli.

Zhongli didn't roam, but his ward placement was incredibly precise, placed in almost a blind spot, yet allowing enemies to dodge it for a split second. This split second would be too fast for most people to react to.

But apart from Kirito, there are no ordinary people.

Although we have two useless characters on our side, they are incredibly tanky and have excellent harassment abilities. Like Kirito, who unleashes a mindless combo; do you dodge or not? If you don't dodge and take the damage head-on? Your entire team is squishy and guaranteed to die.

Dodge? Our two assassins and one DPS are no pushovers. If they get distracted and try to dodge Kirito's skills, they're doomed.

This is why Kirito got eleven assists. Although eleven assists don't even cause a thousand damage, in a battle between experts, even a moment of distraction can be fatal or even lead to a collapse.

Moreover, Kirito's team has a tankier lineup.

That's right, Xiaoyuan's team composition looks good; except for the top lane, everyone is tanky. Their damage output is high, but if one core member is instantly killed, the rest are basically free kills.

Thus, with Kirito dying one after another, the battle came to an end after thirty minutes.

The magical girls are finding themselves outmatched in head-on team battles, and dealing with split-pushing enemies like Nyarlathotep is just too annoying. Don't let Nyarlathotep's mediocre stats fool you; this stealthy assassin has the ability to instantly kill!

Moreover, as Nyarlathotep, she can be bad at the game, but she absolutely has to be flamboyant. When Nyarlathotep gets flamboyant, not only ordinary people, but even magical girls can't resist her.

Team fight? Zhongli is so tanky, he'll knock you away with his pillar if you try to engage. You play conservatively? He'll just stroll into the turret and unleash his ultimate if your formation looks good. Then Minato uses his Flying Thunder God Technique, Kirito uses his Four Directions Formation, whether they get any kills or not, they certainly have a lot of presence.

Want to turn the tide in this seemingly hopeless situation? You have to rely on Baron Nashor. Five people focus fire on Baron Nashor in the pit, while Zhongli outside the pit gets a Boots of Travel and teleports directly into the pit.

As Zhongli appeared, Tianxing descended from the sky. Suddenly, Nyaruko appeared outside and used a small knockback to interrupt Sayaka and Sakura Kyoko's attempt to escape.

At that moment, Kirito launched another powerful Heavenly Flying Strike at the enemy, but in his petrified state, there was no way to dodge. In the end, when the game ended, Kirito got a kill.

After the game ends, all players will be taken to a lobby for post-game discussions.

Although they won, and the whole game wasn't...

Despite not making any contribution, Kirito was still somewhat uneasy.

"Don't worry about it, you've done a great job."

Zhongli acknowledged Kirito's talent, recognizing him as someone only slightly stronger than the average player, perhaps even a newcomer to the internet cafe. For a newbie to possess such a strong sense of the big picture was quite impressive.

The opposing Madoka also gave Kirito a thumbs up. Despite being killed in the mid lane and having all her skills dodged, she is the Pride of the Ring and a magical girl, far beyond the ranks of ordinary people.

Kirito nodded: "Thank you. I feel that I need to become stronger."

"Well, you can tell me your needs, and I can provide you with some applicable solutions."

"really?"

Minato Namikaze chimed in, "Him? Don't worry. He's the most knowledgeable person in the internet cafe. Apart from some specific issues in his own world, he can summarize and offer advice on common problems very well."

"You flatter me."

After thinking for a while, Kirito explained his situation. Because he had played games at the internet cafe for a long time, Zhongli understood what all death games were.

While internet cafes don't offer a wide variety of games, some require players to complete them on the highest difficulty without dying to obtain the final reward. SAO, which Kirito played, can be seen as an example where the reward for completing the game is simply surviving.

However, if Kirito could take the power he gained from the internet cafe out with him, it would indeed be a great help. But this approach is definitely not suitable for games like the "Old Man's Ring," where, in Zhongli's opinion, the strength lies in the weapons and equipment, and the excessive number of deaths might negatively impact Kirito's mentality.

In LoL, although many people die, compared to other RPG games, it's just that your health bar is empty, which doesn't count as death. And the focus is not on life-or-death battles, but on teamwork.

"In a completely free game, the most important thing is not items but skills. However, I don't know if the Totem of Immortality will work for you."

"what?"

Kirito's expression changed, and Zhongli added, "Yes, many games have a resurrection function. But these games only allow resurrection after death, and I can't guarantee that these items won't have any problems. However, the principle of the Totem of Immortality in Minecraft is to restore health the moment your health bar is empty."

"You don't need to rush. The shopkeeper's recommendation of this game proves that it can solve your immediate problem. After that, you can try to get this item. The two players who are good at this game are Yoshida Saki and Akemi Homura, both of them are very nice people."

Chapter 171 Kirito vs. Faker

After hearing this, Kirito clasped his hands in thanks to Zhongli.

"This really helped a lot..."

The team had disbanded. Kirito looked at the information on TT. The shadow cast by the death game had completely disappeared. According to everyone, TT was a place where they helped each other and shared their experiences.

As the content available at the internet cafe increases, Liu Yuan will provide some guidance to newcomers, but not too much. Essentially, Liu Yuan hopes players will explore on their own, but he will also help if they encounter difficulties they cannot solve themselves.

However, this help is limited for some players, and communication between players has gradually become the mainstream, which is something Liu Yuan is happy to see.

Following everyone's advice, Kirito joined the main TT group and then the store's smaller group. At the same time, Kirito noticed that the magical girl across the street was playing games with him in the same internet cafe, not far away, and they even greeted each other after the game ended.

"Should I familiarize myself with my own skills first? But are these really skills?"

In SAO, the skill release method involves assuming a specific stance, and the skill is released naturally. However, in LoL, the more he uses the system-defined skills, the more proficient he feels, to the point that he feels he can release them even while sitting in front of the computer or lying down?

"If that's the case, can we use these skills again in SAO?"

Aside from the passive skill, the other four skills are all very useful to Kirito. Even if these so-called skills are judged as normal attacks in SAO, that's enough.

In particular, mastering the skills Four Directions Slash and Sonic Speed ​​(or rather, Sonic Attack) is extremely useful in combat and even in defeating bosses.

However, while he was thinking, he suddenly realized something: there was a special weapon in the system that seemed to be giving him a significant boost.

Although the game Liu Yuan bought is called League of Legends, the main reason for the name is that it uses the League's characters and maps, and the main body of the game will also use the League's. However, the system will also perform a series of customizations based on different players, and there may even be unique weapons.

The so-called "exclusive weapon" means that using it will change the form of some of your own skills.

"Reverse Blade. After purchase, you can master the skill 'Dog Head Dragon Flash.' When used, it deals massive true damage to enemies; normal attacks cannot kill any units."

"The Explainer can acquire the skill 'Starburst Abandon Healing Slash' after purchasing it. This skill is a powerful attack that can be launched on the spot, causing the user to give up on healing and preventing the user from receiving any healing. However, the user can be attacked."

"Reverse Blade Explainer: Purchase this item to learn the skill Starburst Dog Head Flash, which launches a powerful but non-lethal attack on a random target."

After seeing these skills, Kirito felt completely bewildered. What are all these things?

Especially the third one, which unleashed a powerful but not fatal attack.

An attack? What's the point of that? Wait, it seems very useful…

If viewed through the lens of normal game mechanics, this inability to kill might seem like just a fancy weapon, but in SAO, it becomes incredibly useful if you encounter someone you don't want to kill but must stop.

However, these three skills are not free. The first one requires defeating one hundred players through the "Flying Immortal" skill. Computer-controlled opponents can also be included, but it must be a head-on kill; kills by other players do not count. However, kills by other players in PvP do count.

The remaining two skills are unlocked in a similar way: Starburst Abandon Healing Slash is a normal ultimate move, and Dog Head Dragon Flash is a move that defeats two hundred people each.

However, the last one is a bit special. After using the Four Directions Slash, use this skill and get an assist. You get 1000 points for both defeat and assists.

Although there are many requirements, they are not unattainable. Kirito decides to give it his all for this goal.

Kirito also realized his shortcomings; he's not suited for PvP right now, so he's going to practice on a computer.
