I'm just an internet cafe owner

Unfortunately, just like Subaru Natsuki, she entered the game using the powers of a normal person.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at the monster, lost in thought: "This guy seems pretty strong. Can the three of us handle it?"

After hesitating for a long time, Natsuki Subaru asked for help in the group chat.

"Ceratops, strong! Invincible, any ordinary player can handle it, no pros, this is for newbies."

Natsuki Subaru was afraid that he might randomly invite some powerful players. Sure enough, Minato Namikaze, Zhongli, and Nyaruko were all in the game now. Apart from Minato, the other two might not talk much, but everyone knew that they were top-tier players. So far, no game had ever been known to be able to stop them.

Unless a pro player carries them through the game, they prefer to work together with teammates of similar skill levels to defeat the enemy.

The message had barely been sent when Tanjiro, who had just bought the game and already understood its settings, applied to join the world. Seeing this new name, Subaru Natsuki agreed without a second thought.

Chapter 119 Everyone Gets on the Cat Cart

Diablos, the horned dragon, stands at the top of the wasteland.

A creature. This is also a monster that can be considered a newbie killer.

Possessing strength befitting his name Diavolo, his enormous size brings tremendous impact to his attacks, yet his massive body also possesses agile speed.

The attacks look ordinary, but each strike deals area-of-effect damage and deals a heavy hit.

The dragon's frequent charges, like large trucks, rammed into the hunters who were provoking them. Tanjiro, Subaru, and Kaori Fujimaru managed to dodge as it charged.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was chosen as the target, was sent flying into the sky as if hit by a large truck. The Cat Cart appeared just in time and took Fujimaru Ritsuka away.

Who could have imagined that, the battle had barely begun, and our side was already missing a combatant?

However, as the Diablos charged, it also swung its tail, tripping Tanjiro, who lacked combat experience. But no problem, he lay on the ground and pulled out a light machine gun, the 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds of which caused the Diablos pain.

However, the usually invincible firearms failed this time. Not that they were ineffective, but rather that the Diablos's defenses were simply too strong. If fired at a single point, the armor-piercing rounds would definitely be powerful enough to penetrate the Diablos.

However, Tanjiro, who was lying on the ground, could only maintain an attack within a certain range. When Diablos realized that the weapon in Tanjiro's hand was a threat, it immediately transformed into a seasoned excavator driver and burrowed underground.

Its speed would make even a void excavator feel ashamed.

The hard soil of the wasteland can only be penetrated a few centimeters by guns, but for the horned dragon, it's like swimming.

Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter. Sometimes "hunter" is a noun, sometimes it's a verb. But for Diablos, "hunter" is a verb.

The entire wasteland became a hunting ground for the Diablos, and Tanjiro and his fellow players became the hunters.

"what happened?"

This time, Tanjiro realized that while firearms are effective, they have limitations when the quantity is insufficient. According to his understanding, underground enemies could easily defeat this horned dragon using bunker-buster missiles or anti-materiel weapons.

However, these weapons cannot be carried casually, and at this moment, the knife in his hand...

Tanjiro took a deep breath. Although he used firearms, his skills had not been neglected.

Tanjiro adjusted his breathing and used Water Breathing 'Third Form, Flowing Dance'.

Seeing Tanjiro launch an invincible attack, Subaru Natsuki and Kaori Fujimaru each drew their shields and katanas, ready to protect him. The only pity was that because the characters were created with normal attributes and didn't incorporate their own elemental attributes, they couldn't overwhelm him with superior power. However, the combat experience honed by the old man's ring meant they could handle any situation, except…

As we all know, parrying is a move that deflects the force of an enemy. Normally, parrying can only deflect physical attacks. However, when a monster opens its mouth wide enough to swallow five people, the purpose of parrying is lost.

Because they didn't hit you at all, they just swallowed you.

Natsuki Subaru and Fujimaru Kaori, who were huddled together preparing to provide assistance, froze, staring at the gaping maw at their feet. They gasped, "Help! Ah!!!"

The two entered the belly of the horned dragon at the same time, got on the cat cart together, and followed Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just collapsed, back to her hometown.

As for Tanjiro, he fought the Diablos for five minutes using Water Breathing. During those five minutes, he struck the Diablos countless times, but his blades were all deformed by the Diablos's skin, and he still couldn't inflict any effective damage on the creature.

Instead, the horned dragon that crawled out roared a few times as if mocking someone, then transformed into a Wuling Hongguang minivan and charged straight over. It was fortunate that this was a game, otherwise the horned dragon would have definitely completed a large portion of this year's transmigrator quota in one go.

TT

Subaru Natsuki: "So strong."

Fujimaru Kaori: "I feel like our approach is wrong. According to the old man Tamaki's experience, if you can't beat someone, it's not because you're weak, but because you're using the wrong method."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "The newbie is trembling with fear."

Not long after Fujimaru Ritsuka was taken to the internet cafe by Fujimaru Kaori, she was only at a middle stage in her strategy for the old man's ring and didn't know how to join in.

Tanjiro replied, "I feel that we have a chance of winning, but I feel like something is missing."

Fujimaru Kaori: "No problem, this game has a weapon system, let's upgrade our weapons and see. By the way, Tanjiro, are you planning to be a gunslinger? Or a dual-wielder?"

"Dual cultivation?"

Fujimaru Kaori: "Okay, a complete newbie. Looks like you have no gaming experience at all. No problem, leave it to us."

Liu Yuan, who had been observing from the sidelines, saw Tanjiro find a team and begin to make steady progress, so he gave up on giving him advice. Actually, Liu Yuan didn't like to nag players; the fun of games lies in exploring and discovering things for yourself.

However, Tanjiro's time and energy do not allow for it, so if things go astray, he will naturally help explain.

Kisara, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Tanjiro's fight with Spider-Gen was quite difficult. Is this game really that hard?"

Although the game has been released, Kisaragi has been focusing his energy on the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game. The storyline of the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game is really great. With the TV series, you can watch the TV series first and then make changes in the game if you have any regrets. This gives Kisaragi a very satisfying feeling.

Yuna Takashima is even more so; she's still in the process of quickly familiarizing herself with all the games, even though Liu Yuan's requirement for her is simply to get familiar with the games, not to beat them.

The play also gave her a bit of a headache, at least for the short term, but at least she could see that Tanjiro and his group were suffering.

Liu Yuan explained, "Actually, it's not difficult. It's just that they're courting disaster. They either created ordinary hunter attributes or brought their own equipment. It's no wonder they fail. It's like Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade is for cutting demons, and his guns are for killing people. They're completely incompatible with these large, high-defense monsters. They definitely can't win."

"Then how should we fight?"

"How do we fight them? It's simple. We'll kill them one by one from the beginning, collect materials to make weapons and equipment. We'll use traps and tools. Right now, they're at best warriors, not hunters at all."

Kisara: "I feel like I see a lot of people like that..."

Liu Yuan couldn't help but complain, "It's not just a lot of people, it's a lot of players. After all, this is a game."

Yuna Takashima asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to look at a guide?"

When Takashima Yuna was getting familiar with various games these days, she would always read the guides written by Liu Yuan and others on the TT forum, which was very helpful in getting to know the games.

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the two people in front of him, Liu Yuan sighed: "You guys are still too young, you know? Gamers, especially those who have played a few games before, when they play these kinds of fighting games. Looking at guides? Impossible. Basically, I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, but I know I'm going to dominate the battlefield."

Chapter 120 Big Brother Teaches You How to Play Games

In the world of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro receives a new mission.

Heading to Spider Mountain

According to the messenger crow, there are demons on this mountain, and the Demon Slayer Corps must go there to kill them.

Tanjiro had only one thought in response: "Let me try out the sword!"

That's right! During this time, he and the others successfully defeated the Diablos. In the process, Tanjiro, who had countless flashbacks, fully mastered the Water Breathing technique, and the constant battles made him realize one thing.

Times may change or they may not; we need to adapt to different enemies.

For example, with a horned dinosaur, when it moves around randomly, you can't just shoot it with a gun. After all, bullets are limited, and if you can't cause effective damage, it's better to use a sword to wear down its stamina.

When both sides were exhausted, the tide turned. In the end, they defeated Diablos because Diablos was exhausted and was being brutally beaten by Fujimaru Kaori. At the same time, Tanjiro aimed his gun at Diablos' weak spot and fired an armor-piercing bullet from the inside out.

Now, he's going to use the ghost to sharpen his knife.

However, on this journey, he encountered someone he knew.

"Oh? Zenitsu?"

Tanjiro saw the blond-haired man trembling with fear at the entrance to the mountain. He recognized him all too well. He had seen him during the competition, and later at a mansion. He never expected to meet him again.

"It's you? Help!!"

Zenitsu looked at Tanjiro hesitantly, while Tanjiro waved his hand and said, "You're here to exterminate demons too, right? How about we work together?"

"!!!"

Zenitsu Gasai felt a sense of relief. He knew Tanjiro's immense strength, and with Tanjiro by his side, he felt reassured.

As the two met up, a commotion in the jungle stopped them in their tracks.

"Charge forward like a pig! Charge forward like a pig! Hahahaha!"

The man wearing a pig's head mask suddenly stopped in front of the two, turning what was originally a solo operation by Tanjiro into a team operation.

Hashibira Inosuke is a swordsman with special sensory abilities, wearing a boar's head mask. They met before at the mansion, where the three of them cooperated once and successfully defeated a very powerful demon.

Working together this time, the three of them undoubtedly achieved twice the result with half the effort.

However, as Tanjiro made his way to the summit, he gradually noticed something amiss. The entire forest reeked of blood and decay, and...

"who is it?"

Tanjiro severed a spider's web, while nearby, members of the Demon Slayer Corps were 'killing each other'.

"The Breath of Water, the Flowing Dance of the Three Forms"

Tanjiro wielded his katana, slicing through the surrounding threads like flowing water, while simultaneously pinpointing the demon's location by its scent. She was manipulating the threads; the closer the demon was, the stronger the threads became. Nearby was a headless corpse, its size alone indicating its formidable power.

"Her weakness is..."

Tanjiro sensed the demon's weakness, but this time he didn't rush to use his gun or charge in for a direct fight.

But...

"Jingle bells~"

The summoning bell appeared in Tanjiro's hand—that's right! While playing Monster Hunter, Tanjiro met some reliable friends. And when Fujimaru Kaori learned that Tanjiro hadn't gotten the beginner's set, she immediately went to the new shop and spent a whole day teaching Tanjiro how to obtain it.

The so-called "beginner set" refers to the Summoning Bell, the Imitation Tear Drop, the Holy Grail Drop, and the complete set of guns from Resident Evil, all found in the Old Man's Ring. These are the items that all players agree are the easiest to obtain, as they can be acquired simply by playing the game mode.

Liu Yuan's recommendations are all based on the customer's current needs, but right now Tanjiro's sister is in the recovery phase, and Tanjiro needs to improve his own strength, so his older brother is definitely the most important person to consider.

Regardless of your talent or strength, as long as

Once you find your elder brother, you can rest easy.

Finding the replica teardrop was tricky at first, but Tanjiro's combat experience was already quite strong, and with a pro player helping him skip class, it was a breeze. And you know, the Old Man's Ring can be played online.

Can't beat them? No problem, just ask a pro for help, and you'll get the beginner set in a few hours without any worries. You'll also pick up the legendary katana, Moonshadow, while you're at it. The only downside is that the Holy attribute enchantment in the old man's ring doesn't work against demons.

Ghosts are afraid of the special radiation in sunlight, while holy attribute enchantments are just enchantments. They will be more damaging to ghosts, but they will not inhibit the body's regeneration.

This is Tanjiro's first time using his older brother's abilities. His idea is brilliant: let the replica teardrop attract aggro while he flanks and attacks from behind. After all, it's his own summon; even though it can take his form, it can't be that much stronger, right?

That's what Tanjiro thought, but reality slapped him in the face. The moment the artificial teardrop transformed into Tanjiro's appearance, it gave him a disdainful look.

"?"

Tanjiro didn't understand why his summoned creatures seemed to look down on him, but then he realized why.
