I'm just an internet cafe owner

"I want to play a female mage too!"

“I’m different from you guys. I think this uncle looks pretty good.”

Looking at all the available classes, Suzuki Satoru didn't think twice and immediately chose to play as the male Priest. He was drawn to the fact that the Priest class called Avenger could transform into a super cool monster.

Tina thought about it for a long time and gave up the Gunslinger class, switching to playing Berserker instead. Yes, don't let her real-life persona as a gun-wielding loli fool you; after seeing the Berserker's fighting style, she really liked it and decided to play it.

There's also Agumon, who, after entering the game and thinking for a while, played the Summoner.

Not only is gender selection free for many players, but their choice of class is also entirely based on personal preference. Some like the style of the class selection screen—cute, violent, sacred, or mysterious. At least for those who love magical girls and want to grow bigger, the Battle Mage is a fantastic class for turning the tide of battle.

Some prioritize style and outfit coordination, while others focus on appearance. Still others choose professions that best suit their practical needs and lives. Some simply enjoy the simulation aspect, as the game mode uses the default in-game character design, and raising a daughter or son is a common plan among players.

Because many people choose skills against their own inherent attributes, the vast majority have to start from scratch to master the skills. On this day, Celia welcomed countless guests, and Loran's Sling Goblins also welcomed countless adventurers.

Goblins? Many players underestimate them. But once in the game, many players, precisely because of this underestimation, end up being taught a lesson by goblins.

The only advantage is that this game has resurrection coins. Except for special dungeons that will be added in the future, where resurrection coins are limited, there are no restrictions on the use of resurrection coins in other dungeons of this game.

Even so, 10% of ordinary players still failed when using the Stone Goblin.

The way the car overturned was also very simple.

"Goblin! Take my uppercut!!!"

The Ghost Swordsman attacked, and as he was about to launch an uppercut, the Stone Goblin used a five-hit combo, killing the Ghost Swordsman.

The female mage suffered the most. In the early game, she could only use Sky Strike and Magic Missile, while goblins threw stones, and the mage would just stand there saying "Yay!" It turns out that the well-honed skill of throwing stones was far more effective than the unfamiliar Magic Missile.

While the players were having fun, two new customers appeared at branch number five.

A priest in a robe, and a warrior in full armor, his armor stained with blood and dirt.

These two people don't know each other, but they will get to know each other in the future. It's just that the emergence of internet cafes has brought their meeting forward a little earlier.

"Hello, excuse me, where is this place?"

The cute girl's voice was a little childish, and it sounded like someone wanted to bully her.

Xin Hai then stepped forward and introduced, "Hello, this is Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe. We offer realistic combat simulations. We can provide our guests with powerful abilities, items, and various resources. Would you two be interested in giving it a try?"

Based on observations of the mind, it was determined that the warrior would definitely be interested in this kind of thing and would take the initiative to try it after hearing the introduction. The priestess with long golden hair and wearing over-the-knee boots also seemed to be full of curiosity about this place. It would take a little bit of coaxing.

What does the Priestess need? Power from the gods, of course. Coincidentally, the DNF game released today happens to possess divine power.

Then Xin Hai began to introduce, "Our shop also offers instruction in Holy Light. Would this guest like to give it a try?"

"Holy light? What kind of light is it?"

Xin Hai was now in a dilemma. Although she had played DNF, she didn't know much about it because she didn't play a Paladin.

At this moment, Liu Yuan introduced, "Please take a look, sir."

Liu Yuan made a gesture with both hands, and a video appeared in front of the priestess. The priestess stared wide-eyed at the video.

Chapter 499 Grandis: "You, a priest, wearing cloth armor?"

"Grandma Kree!!!"

"Follow the will of God, and victory will ultimately be ours!"

In the video, a man and a woman who look very holy make a prayer gesture. In front of the male priest, a huge ball of light rises into the sky, and you can feel the powerful holy light just by watching the video.

Female clergy members held up the cross, and the radiance emanating from it made them feel as if they were seeing God.

"This, this, this..."

With a wave of his hand, Liu Yuan made the video disappear. This content was from the awakened version and would only be available in the next major awakening update, but that didn't stop Liu Yuan from promoting it.

After putting away the video, Liu Yuan smiled and asked, "Would you like to learn?"

"I want to learn!"

The priestess nodded vigorously.

Liu Yuan then pointed to the message on the wall: "Pay to go online."

Let's go! ”

The Priestess gasped at the cost of internet access. Goblin Slayer, however, felt the price was acceptable; an hour of internet access cost about the same as repairing a piece of equipment. If this price would grant him power, he'd be happy to invest all his money.

He'd do anything to kill goblins.

So the two people from the same world, who had met before but had not yet met, sat together and, with Xin Hai and Liu Yuan's guidance, started the game.

The priestess chose a male clergyman. She was indifferent to the cross, but she longed for the celestial orb of light.

She also learned that the so-called men and women were just for job presentations and there were actually no gender restrictions, so she chose this option.

On the other hand, Goblin Slayer was carefully observing the game from the moment he entered it.

"This... won't work, the cramped cave isn't suitable for normal combat. This won't do either, the armor is too weak and I'm easily ambushed. This..."

As Goblin Slayer looked around, he suddenly discovered a class that really suited his taste: Berserker.

This heavy armor specialist can use greatswords, short swords, katanas, and blunt weapons. This class possesses an ability that he finds extremely enviable: Blood Awakening. It can be used to heal wounds when severely injured. It allows the user to fight using enemy blood, their own blood, or even to transform blood into a sword for combat.

Goblin Slayer has no ambition; his only goal is to wipe out all goblins. The character's skills are perfectly suited to him, allowing him to survive in dire situations and unexpectedly eliminate goblins.

More importantly, berserkers are not affected by injuries; on the contrary, the more damage they take, the more their combat power increases. Also, although berserkers are berserkers in the game, they do not cause players to lose their minds.

It was a rather peculiar setup; even Goblin Slayer felt a sliver of doubt upon seeing the warning. But then he shook his head, realizing there was no reason for the other party to deceive him.

Goblin Slayer is well aware of his own abilities. He can kill goblins in caves, but he might be overwhelmed in a large-scale goblin encounter. With this power, he can fight and kill even more goblins.

However, if possible, he didn't want to engage in direct combat; he preferred to kill all the goblins in a safer way. So he entered the game as well.

However, as soon as he entered the game, he became wary. He was completely naked, with only a greatsword in his hand. More importantly, he heard cries for help.

"Help!"

He cautiously followed the sound, and what did he see? Goblins?

"Goblin?"

Goblin Slayer's expression turned serious. There were only three goblins surrounding Celia. Normally, players in this situation would just grab their clubs and charge, but Goblin Slayer became wary.

The person needs to be rescued, but the surrounding environment must be thoroughly checked first.

It was fine until I checked, but I was shocked to find a total of thirty-seven goblins around me.

Looking at the greatsword in his hand, Goblin Slayer felt somewhat out of place. He preferred using a short sword to cope with the cramped environment of the cave. But now, in this open space, the greatsword wasn't much of a solution.

He also noticed that he had mastered two "skills".

Upward slash and cross slash.

In addition, there are the basic sword moves belonging to the Ghost Swordsman. With the combination of the basic sword moves and these two skills, he suddenly had an epiphany.

He can execute an uppercut, a fundamental combat skill for warriors, but a cross slash…

After reading the description of the Cross Slash, Goblin Slayer roughly knew how to fight.

Meanwhile, Celia was still calling for help, but in the process, Goblin Slayer had already infiltrated the surrounding area and was using his skilled assassination techniques.

Despite having sword techniques and skills, Goblin Slayer remained cautious and methodical. He first swiftly killed a goblin on the outskirts, then used its blood to cover his scent before carefully lying in wait.

So these goblins committed a terrible crime and were hacked to death and crushed to death. These goblins, who couldn't even throw stones and only carried wooden clubs, could be easily killed by an ordinary player on their first encounter with them, but the Goblin Slayer assassinated them all through his own methods.

Celia's expression gradually froze as she witnessed this scene. She had seen many adventurers, some who immediately engaged in combat, others who flirted and professed love while fighting. But this cautious approach, meticulously eliminating the goblins from the outside in, was the first she had ever seen.

"Warrior! Save me!"

However, Goblin Slayer did not immediately rescue her. He did not understand why Celia was locked in a strange cage, but out of caution, he checked the surroundings and carefully approached only after confirming that there were no goblin nests.

He had no equipment, which meant he was very vulnerable, and in this vulnerable state, he couldn't withstand the damage from the trap.

While they were proceeding cautiously, on the other side, the priestess appeared inside a church. Inside the church, the priestess looked at the statue and couldn't help but pray. However, during the prayer, a female priest named Grandis discovered the priestess.

"you…"

"Huh? Me?"

The priestess was somewhat puzzled; this game was too realistic, so realistic that she could feel the call of the Holy Light even when praying within the game. At the same time, she also...

She understood why the older woman in front of her was looking at her with surprise, astonishment, and worry.

"Who brought you here? Why are you wearing such thin cloth armor?"

"Hey?"

The priestess was stunned. What would a priestess wear if not cloth armor? Heavy armor?

However, Grandis's words shocked her even more: "Where's your plate armor?"

Plate armor, even heavier and more expensive than heavy armor. The priestess was stunned. How could she pray or move while wearing such heavy armor?

Amidst Grandis's bewilderment, where did this newbie come from? Is a priest not wearing plate armor just waiting to be torn to shreds by a faker?

Chapter 500 Goblin Slayer Hunts Down the Loran Goblins

Under Grandis's tutelage, the priestess was completely bewildered, but what Grandis said seemed to make sense: as a priest, one must not only be able to protect teammates, but also to protect oneself.

Furthermore, because plate armor uses a large amount of materials, it can be enchanted more frequently, thereby enhancing the effect of holy light and providing better resistance to enemy attacks.

Should I wear plate armor?

The priestess's tone carried a hint of doubt, while Grandis patted her head: "Don't worry about the plate armor looking bad. This equipment will be attached to your clothing, so it won't look bad at all~"

After speaking, Grandis blinked. She knew exactly what girls her age worried about. Heavy? It didn't really matter. Weak equipment? She could tolerate that too. But if it didn't look good, many girls would have some reservations.

The priestess donned the most ordinary set of plate armor, and the moment she put it on, she felt an immense surge of power.

"Alright, your trial is about to begin. Go to Loran and investigate the cause of the monster rampage!"

All players will arrive in Loran for various reasons, and in Loran, they will rescue a girl named Celia and begin their adventure in Arad.

And so the priestess's adventure begins, as she notices her two skills.

She also noticed that the cross she was carrying had been transformed into the shape of her usual staff. Although it was a bit heavy, she could still wield it.

But when she looked at her two skills, the Priestess felt terrible.

Normal combat involves attacking with a cross, while also being able to unleash aerial slashes and slow healing. She understands slow healing, but is aerial slash really a skill a priest can use? Won't the gods blame her?

While looking at the initial skills, she was also looking at the other skills. Skills like Ascension Array, Weapon Blessing, and Purification were alright, but Demon Hand and Demon Transformation? Were they a joke? If she used those skills, could she still be a priest?

With these thoughts in mind, she arrived in Loran with a solemn expression. The initial goblin difficulty was very low; even the priestess could defeat it.
