Black Tech Internet Cafe System

Fang Qi’s shop was now bustling with crowds, which was a totally different scene from before where the shop was almost empty.

The players included disciples from big families and independent cultivators and warriors from different places.

While talking about the treasures such as +10 reinforcement coupons and Black Diamond Membership, they joined the event called [The Return of 8 Million Adventurers in Dungeon Fighter Online.]

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang was looking at the ‘fairy’ before him in bafflement.

Except for her clothes which showed that she came from this world, everything else shouted that she was a fashionable city girl.

Then, Mr. Fang saw a green-clothed girl who was about 15 years old sitting with her. This girl was slurping a bowl of instant noodles and wearing a pair of big sunglasses.

Right. She was eating instant noodles while wearing big sunglasses.

She looked up, revealing that her lips had become bright red because the soup was too spicy for her. She stared at the ordinary-looking young man who was walking toward her.

Mr. Fang scratched his head.

After all, the presence of a great beauty was quite daunting. As a professional gamer who was focused on gaming before he traveled through space and time, Mr. Fang wasn’t good at talking to beautiful girls. Since he was at a loss for what to do, he turned his eyes to the little girl and said genially, “Little sister, is she your mom?”

The people around them suddenly quieted down.

“…”

“She’s my master!” The little girl said with her mouth full of noodles. Then, she snorted and said, “At merely the King Warrior Realm, you can stop thinking of speaking to her.”

Mr. Fang’s face darkened; he was looked down upon by a little girl.

How come little girls nowadays are so sharp-tongued?

Unwilling to be looked down at, Fang Qi sat down beside her and asked, “Little Girl, are you here waiting for someone?”

“Right,” The green-clothed girl said smugly, “My master and I are waiting for a very powerful senior who is said to have defeated even Gu Tingyun, the Old Academy Master of the Heavenly Academy!”

After all, the incident where Mr. Fang crushed Academy Master Gu in StarCraft had spread to every corner.

“Um…” Mr. Fang’s face twitched. “He’s so powerful?”

“Yeah!” The little girl said in exaggeration, “This senior master is the owner of this shop! It’s said that he can defeat demons with one hand, kill the mechanical bull with eyes closed, is ranked Supreme-1 in the dojo, and is invincible at commanding Terran marines!”

“But…” The green-clothed little girl said, “I don’t know what a mechanical bull is. Anyway, I heard that he is super powerful and can fight ten King Warriors like you.”

“!!??” Mr. Fang froze, and he thought, “When did I become so powerful?!”

“Tell me more. Is this shop owner good at anything else?” he asked immediately.

“There’re a lot of his feats! I heard many things about this master!” Zhuge Yu thought for a moment and said, “Well… But they are things hard to remember. Let me think…”

“Can he manage the world with his pen and conquer the world with his powerful strength?”

“Something like that!”

“Does he have jade-like features? And is he more handsome than Pan An?”

[Pan An was a prominent Chinese fu poet in the Western Jin dynasty. He was well known for his good looks from a young age. “Pan An” has become the Chinese byword for handsome men.]

“This… I don’t remember this one… isn’t he an old man?”

“Impossible!” Mr. Fang said, “We can put this on the list!”

“Right!” The little girl patted her forehead. “We can put this on the list!”

“Can you remember more…”

“Scummy Owner! Do you want to play on this map or not?!”

“Oh! In one second!” Mr. Fang answered without thinking.

“Pu!!” The little girl who was eating the instant noodles dropped her fork, and it landed on the ground.

The great beauty who had been playing with her smartphone looked immediately toward him. “…”

“Scummy shop owner. He is trying to fool this little girl mercilessly!” people whispered among themselves.

“Despicable.”

“Sir, where’s your dignity?!”

…

“Grandmasters are all unique in their way of doing things…” Fairy Qing Yun smiled in embarrassment and tried to smooth things over.

Hearing the others’ explanations, the little girl finally saw through this scummy shop owner.

In her heart, the shop owner had come down from a grandmaster to a scummy shop owner who could only bully old people (Gu Tingyun) and little girls.

“Hump!” The little girl turned her head and ignored Fang Qi, furious that he had tricked her to say so many good things about him.

On the side, Fairy Qing Yun told him her intention of the visit.

“You mean… you want to do your share in the imminent catastrophe of the Spiritual State’s cultivation world?”

“Yes.” Fairy Qing Yun sat up straight and said solemnly, “Although I’ve stayed in my mountain for a long time, I’m a cultivator of the Spiritual State and know that we are intimately interdependent. If the cultivation world vanished from the Spiritual State, I and other cultivators in the Seven Saint Mountains would lose our home too.”

“Oh…” Mr. Fang was now having a headache. “But you can’t do anything by coming to me…”

He looked embarrassed. “I’m only the owner of an internet café and can only play games. After all, one person can’t save the entire cultivation world…”

It would only work if Mr. Fang could kill all his enemies in one way; that was all that he could do. If there were too many enemies, he couldn’t manage them all…

“Owner of the internet café…?” Fairy Qing Yun and her disciple, Zhuge Yu, looked at him in a daze.

Isn’t he a super powerful grandmaster?!

“Yeah…” Mr. Fang pointed at the posters on the wall and said, “My job is keeping the shop, playing games, and hosting competitions when necessary.”

There were two posters on the wall. On one poster, the slayers, mages, gunners, and other classes in Dungeon Fighter Online gestured in invitation with the words ‘F1 World Championship, Recruiting the Strongest Fighters.’

The other poster portrayed a battle scene among Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss. The words were ‘Fighting for the Title of the Strongest War Commander. Glory Is Waiting to You!’

“!!??” Fairy Qing Yun was dumbfounded, and she thought, You are looking for a commander and also recruiting the strongest fighters! You said that you can’t help and don’t want to get involved? Who would believe that?

“Sir, didn’t you say that you are only organizing two competitions?!” Fairy Qing Yun’s cold gaze landed on Fang Qi, and she had a strange smile on her face. After looking at the two posters, she seemed to have understood something.

Although the shop owner didn’t say much, his heart is tied to the cultivation world. He is using this method to unite the heroes and brave individuals of the Spiritual State!

And these awards… I don’t know what they are, but I guess they are precious treasures since these brave figures of the Spiritual State are eager to win them!

“Mr. Fang, I admire your heroic act! I’m on the same level as you.” Fairy Qing Yun bowed her head slightly to him, saying, “I wonder…if you can let me participate in this E-Sports competition?”

“I know it’s probably too late for me to participate, but if you have any use of me in the competition, I’m happy to help.”

“Um…” Mr. Fang thought it was not polite to decline her offer. After a moment of consideration, he asked, “Can you sing?”

“Ugh…? I can.” She froze for a moment before answering.

“Do you want to sing during the opening ceremony?”

With opening cinematics and official songs, this competition would look very grand.
