I found it in the old attic of my previous home, which was my grandfather's book.
Wiping away the dust from the book, I opened it.
This should be a long story...
……
The sky was shrouded in mist as the sun rose in the east, and the seven countries of Huaxia were full of flowers, spreading all kinds of legends.
Tianyun City, one that had never faded in the warring states, was one of the thirteen major cities of State of Qin.
The city was made of green bricks and was inlaid with various kinds of pearls, all of which showed its prosperity.
There were countless pavilions and buildings on the streets. There were also many magic herbs and artifacts. It was too much for the eyes to take in. All the cultivators with treasured swords on their backs passed through, constantly asking about the suitable treasures.
When Tianyun Martial Arts School opened, all the young people ran around the bustling market. Every magical artifact shop was very busy.
At the end of the east city gate alley, there was only one deserted shop. As long as there were customers, they would frown and speed up footsteps, not wanting to be involved.
"Wow, Tiandao Internet Cafe, how arrogant." A cultivator walked by and looked at the young man in the rocking chair with disdain.
"Bah..."
Then, he spat on the door and left.
Qin Feng smiled bitterly. There had been so many people like that cultivator in the past two days. He had no choice. It was because the title was too eye-catching.
[Tiandao Internet Cafe]
Of course, this was a real Internet cafe that opened in the Xianxia world.
……
Two days before, Qin Feng was originally just a loser among the millions of netizens in Huaxia. After playing computer games in an Internet cafe for seven days during the National Day holiday, he, who had nothing left in his pocket, pulled his eyelids and walked out of the Internet cafe.
On the way back to school, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes with a diamond-shaped crystal. A mechanical System voice sounded in his ears.
"What's your dream?"
Qin Feng raised his eyes and looked at a distant Internet cafe. He casually replied.
"I want to open a unique Internet cafe."
[Beep. The host has confirmed. Super Internet Cafe System has activated.]
Then, the diamond-shaped light burst out and drilled into Qin Feng's mind, firmly occupying his spirit.
When he opened his eyes again, Qin Feng came to a completely unfamiliar world where spiritual energy and martial arts were prevailing.
He was regret to answer like that. A golden finger, because of his own cheap mouth, gave him an Internet cafe. Pooh, he became a keeper of an Internet cafe.
Qin Feng wanted to cry but had no tears. He pointed at the System and scolded, "You are useless! I want the divine sword, I want the peerless technique."
[Host, please be careful with your words. The System is an awesome existence.]
"What the fuc..."
"Crack."
A bolt of lightning struck Qin Feng's body. His short hair suddenly extended outwards like needles.
Then, Qin Feng was completely obedient. He couldn't help but say bitterly in his heart, "Who is the master?"
[Beep. Nice to meet you. Congratulations, host, you have received a novice gift package. ]
Was that resorting to force before trying peaceful means? Qin Feng received it without thinking, and a line of interface appeared in his eyes.
[Novice Gift: 4 computers.]
[Novice Mission: Open an Internet cafe.]
[Time Limit: Three Days.]
[Mission Reward: New version of Dungeon and Fighter
DNF
.]
[Penalty Once Failed: Death of Host.]
Qin Feng couldn't help but shiver when he saw the word "death". This was simply risking his life.
Also, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that this fellow who died from a spirit explosion had such an ancestral shop. Otherwise, he would have been trapped in this novice mission.
After working so hard the whole morning, he finally cleaned up all the herbs in the shop and installed the computers according to the instructions. Looking at the high-level facilities and the virtual VR equipment that he had never played on Earth, he became addicted. He played for a day.
At dawn the next day, he finally remembered the new mission that the System had issued yesterday.
[The System Mission: Tiandao Internet Cafe fully booked.]
[Time Limit: Three days.]
[Mission Reward: Five computers.]
[Penalty Once Failed: Accidental death...]
"F*ck you..."
"Accidental death?" Qin Feng believed that would be definitely related to the System.
However, it was finally the opening day. Looking at the simple style of the house, Qin Feng felt a little proud. By himself, the ruined shop had been completely changed: thick wooden boards, new tiles, and four computers placed in the middle. He felt that this set of luxury in the 21st century could attract a large number of fans.
However, the day he opened the store, the System handed over a sign to Qin Feng and completely cut off his thoughts.
[The Internet Cafe should only be opened during 7:00 am to11:00 pm. Each person can only be recharged for six hours a day.]
[Fee: to activate the DNF account, 5 spirit stones; to play for 1 hour, 3 spirit stones.]
[Clients are free to go. Don't insult the shopkeeper, damage the equipment, cause trouble in the Internet cafe, or distract other users.]
[It is forbidden to make trouble. Violators' accounts will be deleted and they will never be served.]
Excuse me, who knew what an Internet cafe was? Although it was unique, you had to get a promotion first to open the market.
Just logging in the computer would cost three spirit stones. Moreover, DNF was the only game in the computer right now. It was equivalent to directly asking for eight. Even if one wanted to rob, he would have to meet someone.
Right now, the little bit of curiosity in the customer's eyes had directly withered away. According to ordinary currency, ordinary people used copper coins and silver coins, while ordinary cultivators used gold coins.
However, spirit stones were much more valuable. The exchange rate between currencies was 1 to 100, and 1 spirit stone was worth 1000 gold coins. Playing here for an hour was enough for the living expenses of ordinary farmers in the villages for a year.
Because of this, the guests passing by could not help but shake their heads. He must be crazy. An unknown place of entertainment even dared to charge such highly.
"System, why don't we lower the price? It won't be late for us to raise the price when there are more people."
With a bitter expression, Qin Feng looked around at the people passing by. If the next few days were still the same, he would really welcome his "accidental death".
[I am honest and fair. The price is fair. Unless you are not good at business, there won't be a lack of business.]
Qin Feng felt hopeless. Although he knew that what the System said was true, it was useless. When would the first customer come?
It was useless to get anxious. Qin Feng simply put his fan on his head and prepared to sleep first.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw a dim light in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and a strong body appeared in front of Qin Feng.
Dressed in a splendid blue robe, he still couldn't hide his plump fat body. Qin Feng saw the person clearly—the young master of the Huixiang Restaurant in the neighboring street, one of the friends this body's owner had, Lin Tian.
"Hey, Little Qin, you've been living a good life."
Lin Tian's eyes lit up as he looked at Qin Feng. He really didn't know why this guy was idling around all the time.
"Tianyun Martial Arts School has been recruiting students for the past few days. Aren't you going to try your luck?"
He knew that even if Qin Feng went there, the chance of being selected was not very high. However, one had to have a dream, right?
At this time, not only did Qin Feng not care about his words, but his eyes lit up. The way he looked at Lin Tian was like looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. According to his memory, this guy was a rich man who was good at playing. If he let go of this kind of customer who voluntarily went to him, wouldn't he be a fool?
"No, this is just because of the opening of my new shop. I don't have time to go. Why don't you have a try at my place?"
"Ah, a new shop?" Lin Tian asked anxiously. "Little Qin, that medicine shop is passed down for three generations in your family. Why did you close it?"
His anxiousness made sense. This time, he came here with some money to buy medicinal herbs. Due to the relationship between them, he could at least save some money. But now, when he looked inside, there was no trace of medicinal herbs.
"Are you foolish? Why do you close your medicine store but get an Internet cafe instead?"
Lin Tian winked and put on a lecturing posture. After he finished speaking, he found something wrong and asked carefully, "What is an Internet cafe?"
Qin Feng chuckled and dragged Lin Tian inside.
When he saw the Internet Cafe, Lin Tian couldn't help but be stunned. The simple style inside made him dumbfounded. It was bright, spacious, and fresh, which he had never seen before.
His eyes moved slowly and finally looked at the few displayers in the middle of the room. He asked, "What is this?"
"It's a computer. It's used to play games."
To be honest, this was the first time Qin Feng had explained to others what computers were used for. In his understanding, computers were equivalent to gaming consoles.
Lin Tian thought of the little toys he loved when he was young and looked at Qin Feng with a strange gaze. "You are old enough. Why do you still play games?"
Qin Feng immediately said seriously, "It is the most attractive thing in the world."
He still remembered that on Earth, this thing had been with him for a longer time than his bed. Moreover, he was the shopkeeper now, so he naturally could not allow anyone to question him.
"Alright, alright. You know how to exaggerate things. For your sake, I'll play it."
Lin Tian couldn't help but look down at him. Wasn't it just a small game? Everyone was cultivating now! Seriously, how old was he?
However, when Qin Feng pointed at the sign by the door, Lin Tian was surprised.
"D*mn you. Is that the way you treat your old friend?"
His father had only given him a dozen spirit stones when he registered to participate in Tianyun Martial Arts School's assessment, now, he was actually asked for eight to play a game.
"I'll just give you one. I'm helping you run your business."
After thinking, Lin Tian generously extended a finger and said.
Qin Feng frowned and said seriously, "Fatty, there is only one Internet cafe in the world. If you try it and feel that it is not worth this price, I will give them all back to you."
"Really?"
Lin Tian was a little skeptical. However, since Qin Feng had said so, he was a little curious. What kind of game could make Qin Feng think so highly of it?
Moreover, he said that he could return the spirit stones, so there was no harm in giving it a try.
With this in mind, Lin Tian picked out eight spirit stones and placed them on the table. "Let's make it clear first. If it isn't worth this price, you have to keep your word and give them back to me."
After saying that, he sat down on the wooden bench and turned to look at Qin Feng. "How to play?"
For people in this world, computers were a new thing. They had never even seen it before. Qin Feng slowly guided Lin Tian to turn on the computer and start the game.
"Welcome to Arad Continent..."
