I'm just an internet cafe owner

Having played the game for a while, he's figured out some of the patterns. Besides simple challenge invitations, if the competition is completely public, you might even drive to someone else's race track and race with them.

"It's a pity there's no food in the game. It would be more fun to travel like this if we ate something."

In reality, his body picked up a can of cola and took a sip. In the game, although he felt the joy brought by the cola, there was still something vaguely off.

But ahead, these cars not only stopped racing, but they were all parked together, as if there had been a traffic accident and a traffic jam ahead.

"That shouldn't be the case. Traffic jams shouldn't happen in the game, so why is there a traffic jam?"

Hayato Kazami remembers that the game's mechanics prevented congestion when a large number of players met, unless they intentionally gathered together. If congestion did occur, the system would adjust the players' dungeons, automatically placing them in empty dungeons.

Why didn't I automatically enter the congested area when I encountered a traffic jam?

He drove up to the nearest car, rolled down the window, and asked Spider-Woman inside, "Excuse me, Miss Spider-Woman, what are you all waiting for here?"

"Are you new here?"

"Ok!"

Hayato Kazami nodded, and looking at the newcomer, Spider-Man picked him up with his two spider legs: "The chef happened to be passing by in his food truck, selling snacks for an hour. You've come at just the right time."

"An hour? Will I be able to eat by then?"

"Hehe, you're underestimating those two chefs' skills. Trust me, you'll only be in line for ten minutes at most, and you'll be able to enjoy delicious food."

Would you be full from eating here in real life?

Spider shook his head vigorously: "Absolutely not, but think about it, how enjoyable it would be to take out a delicious hamburger, hot dog, crepe, or jianbing while you're driving! You know, only a master chef can get a food truck in this game! And the dishes made by these two chefs are usually not so easy to get."

At this point, Spider's face was filled with pain. She regretted eating the dungeon monsters so cleanly, and regretted not having more legs to snatch the food faster.

You have to understand that these two chefs' pure free time is basically being snatched up by several gods in the internet cafe. No matter how fast an ordinary person is, they can't beat the gods!

"That's amazing! I'll give it a try."

Hayato Kazami didn't drive away. Just like Spider said, if you can eat and drink something while driving, the sense of ritual will be maximized.

As I said before, although you can eat and drink in real life, not being able to eat and drink in games always feels like something is missing. For this sense of ritual, internet cafe customers can wait for an hour.

This hour wasn't boring at all. Communication in the internet cafe was actually quite monotonous: chatting on chatterboxes, talking to people around you, or communicating within the game. While waiting, customers also gathered together through this game.

Let's brag together, one

They exchanged experiences.

Hayato Kazami was a little shy at first, but what could he do when he struck up a conversation with Spider-Girl? In real life, Spider-Girl is an extremely socially awkward person, but in the game, she is a notorious social terrorist.

She introduced Hayato Kazami to several members of her caravan, and after Dr. Agasa, Tanjiro, Fafnir, and the Shield Hero introduced themselves to each other, she then led Hayato Kazami to people they knew.

In real life, people may not be able to have common ground due to factors such as profession, life, and education, but in games, they have a common topic of communication: games.

Time flew by as they chatted, and before long, the snacks meant for Kazami Hayato were ready.

Hayato Kazami took the hot dog and got into the car. Asurada started up, and he enjoyed the food while driving. In the game, he experienced the deliciousness of the food, the feeling of fullness, and happiness.

Is this really a game?

Hayato Kazami sighed. In his world, the concept of virtual reality games wasn't absent, but in his understanding, no matter how reality developed, games could never be exactly the same as reality. This game, aside from some of its mechanics, gave him the feeling of walking in the real world.

So comfortable, so happy. The only pity is that the internet fee is a bit expensive, but it doesn't matter. These days he's been acting as a middleman, and he's confident he can invite Asuka to come online in about a week, and then they can drive together!

Chapter 497 New Game DNF

Liu Yuan used to care a lot about the daily refresh of new games, but as the number of branches and customers increased, he gradually became less concerned about it. After all, his money was now growing, and he could just buy whatever games he wanted directly.

That's why, starting this time, Liu Yuan also gave up on all sorts of mystical practices. Getting together with all the employees and playing games together was a much happier thing.

However, Liu Yuan also discovered something: he and Mu Geng had been abandoned.

Liu Yuan and Mu Geng sat by the front desk, watching the other staff members playing games together, and couldn't help but complain, "Are we being looked down upon?"

"Pretty much. After all, we're the only couple among these people, and we're together all the time. They must be tired of seeing each other."

"Hey~ how about we go out and have some fun?"

"No rush, let's see what games we can release today. If they're just average, then we can have some fun."

At that moment, Kisara asked with some curiosity, "Am I more important or is the game more important?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, the game is more important!"

"?"

Kisara was shocked. His wife usually said sweet nothings at times like this, so why today…?

Just as she was about to ask, seeing Liu Yuan's amused expression, she knew that Liu Yuan was teasing her.

"Hmph~ Let me tell you, I'm very angry right now, and the consequences will be severe."

They say one thing but do another.

While they were flirting and playing games, it was midnight. The previous game refreshes had been rather mediocre, and Liu Yuan didn't have high expectations for this one.

But when he saw the game refresh, he rubbed his eyes.

"Good heavens, this is really good heavens."

"What new game has come out that's so shocking?"

Liu Yuan looked intently at one of the two games and said, "This is a very special game called 'Dungeon & Fighter'."

"Dungeon Fighter Online? Is it fun?"

Liu Yuan nodded first, then shook his head: "You know what? The thing I regretted most when I played this game was saving that woman that summer."

Which woman?

"A new game featuring an elven girl named Celia has been released for everyone!"

One game is "Dungeon Fighter Online" (DNF), and the other is a very ordinary little game called "Dou Dizhu" (Landlord).

DNF is a somewhat unique game, as it also features two difficulty levels. Players on both the real difficulty and game difficulty can team up to play together, but the monsters are not weaker in either case.

The game's rewards are also unique; all skills learned by players can be used in the real world, and all equipment acquired or crafted can be recreated in reality.

In addition, the game updates automatically every seven days and undergoes a major version update every six months.

Unlike the original game where characters were released one by one, this game releases all characters at once. Players can choose to become different characters, and of course, males can become female characters, and females can become male characters.

Learning skills is quite troublesome for players; they must constantly use and master existing skills before they can learn advanced ones. The game doesn't have a level system; players can change jobs by consulting a class mentor based on their skill proficiency.

However, according to Liu Yuan's estimate, it would take players at least three months to learn all the skills at this stage. As for the release of new maps or new levels in the future, it won't have a significant impact, because the number of advanced skills released later is not large, and new players should be able to catch up with the progress of veteran players in about six months after a major version maintenance.

However, if a player possesses a certain level of talent or experience, many skills will likely be available.

You can master it in one go. After all, apart from awakening skills, the basic skills aren't that difficult.

However, a newcomer's proficiency, skill timing, and combat experience depend on talent. Fortunately, there's a game mode to tide them over; even if things don't go well, the game mode controls the controls, so overall the problem isn't too serious.

Currently, none of the characters have awakening skills. According to Liu Yuan's understanding, a class awakening system will be introduced in a major version update six months from now.

Unlike gender-swap games, if you choose a profession that is the opposite of your gender, it will only say that the profession is female, instead of you becoming a woman.

Looking at the game content, Liu Yuan noted that the current game version had reached the Headless Knight of the Dark Elf Ruins.

These aren't the main points. The main point is that this game is a money-grabbing scheme! Liu Yuan doesn't need to add any content; just the simple purchase of costumes, opening boxes, and sky sets are enough to swindle players out of huge sums of money.

And with the release of holiday sets or gift packs during festivals, Liu Yuan saw internet cafes making a fortune from Huahua.

The only downside is that later players might miss out on some things, but that's not a big problem. As the player base grows, Liu Yuan can always release a commemorative gift pack. After all, in DNF, even though internet cafes have been shut down and the gift packs no longer contain various pay-to-win items to boost power, some cool outfits and effects are still retained.

When Liu Yuan announced the release of a new game, the employees stopped playing their games. Although they were free after get off work, the release of a new game was always the happiest time for them.

Being able to play a new game before the guests and act as a guide to help them play will give them a little sense of pride.

"Everyone, this is a general overview of the game. You can give it a try. As for choosing a class, tell me your preferences and I'll make recommendations. If you don't have any particular preferences, just choose one based on your gut feeling."

While DNF is advertised as an online game, before the Anton raid update, it could be considered a single-player game where multiple players could team up and PvP. If we're talking about the best online atmosphere, Liu Yuan still feels that games like World of Warcraft, JX3, or PUBG Mobile 14 offer the best experience. At the very least, there are games like PUBG, multiplayer zombie survival games, or zombie escape games.

The shop assistants opened DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online), and the storylines differed depending on the class. Some chose the Demon Realm, some chose the Celestial Realm, and Liu Yuan initially thought Jibril would choose the Mage, but unexpectedly she chose the Male Priest.

According to Jibril, "The way this character punches is so cool!"

"How could he not be handsome? How about a PK with the number one guy?"

However, Liu Yuan didn't add a few words. In DNF, there's a saying about the Blue Fist class: "A green light, a scythe, a gust of wind, and you're sprawled on the ground. You win fourth, you lose eighth."

Joking aside, Liu Yuan also noticed a small problem. DNF, or similar online games he knew of, had a significant drawback for the average customer: obtaining the necessary items took a long time. Therefore, he couldn't primarily recommend this game to new customers; he had to wait until they finished their other tasks and had some free time in the internet cafe before suggesting it.

Chapter 498 Goblin Slayer and DNF

DNF is an extremely difficult game because the monsters are real. Even if you are a high-level adventurer, you can still die in a dungeon if you are careless.

However, the system will still assign exploration dungeons based on the player's skill proficiency level. But dungeons are one thing, and the story is another. Originally, the story dungeons in the game were very easy after numerous revisions. However, in the system version, regular dungeons are relatively simple, while story dungeons are extremely difficult.

There are no level restrictions; if you can fight, you can fight; if you can't, you can only watch helplessly.

Overall, it's not too bad. According to Liu Yuan's tests, someone with no experience can reach the basic requirements for job advancement after playing for about eight hours. If you have enough experience, you can reach the job advancement level as soon as you enter the game, and after passing the assessment, you can advance to the next job.

Upon entering the game, Liu Yuan created a female mage without hesitation, and almost instantly completed the class change and mastered the magic of runes.

For Liu Yuan right now, only the first and second awakening skills are very difficult to master; the basic skills are a piece of cake. After all, the hardships he endured in other games over such a long time weren't for nothing.

This is generally the case; regardless of one's original strength, the highest level of proficiency one can achieve is the level before awakening. Beyond that, one needs an understanding of the class and continuous combat to reach the level of awakening.

Of course, awakening is not so easy for classes like Summoner and Street Fighter, which have some special requirements.

However, compared to the game, and compared to real professionals, this way of awakening is no different from cheating.

"Boss, this game is really fun. Celia is so pretty too..."

Inside the tree hollow, Alicia was snuggling up to Celia. Jibril was using Instant Step to move back and forth across the map, while Coral Palace Heart Sea was engrossed in playing the game. She had chosen the Ghost Swordsman class, but when faced with Lightning Keno, she was thoroughly outmatched by this Thunderous Strike.

In fact, even in dungeons like Loran's Stone Goblin dungeon, players can easily wipe if they're not careful. The Lightning Keno, Minotaur, Venomous Cat Demon, and Zombie King are also examples. As early-game monsters, these dungeons are extremely difficult.

And consider

Based on the loot from these dungeons, Liu Yuan felt that most players would likely be playing this game for a very long time.

Liu Yuan's side doesn't have any KPI assessments. All the games in the internet cafe are designed to retain players. As long as the players can stay in the internet cafe, they can play whatever they want.

And so, through constant practice, it was already seven in the morning.

The internet cafes opened, and the staff at each shop promoted the new game to new customers. The customers were excited to hear about the new game.

"Dungeon Fighter Online?"

"Class selection? I want to play a female mage!"
