Task: Internet cafe's total revenue reaches five million taels. (Completed)

Task Reward: Choose one of three single-player games, six sets of matching computers, and host authority upgrade.

Choose one of three single-player games: diablo ii (Story Version), resident evil 1 (Story Version), legend of sword and fairy 1 (Sandbox Version).

Current host Authority: 1

As the host authority has surpassed 1 point, the novice period benefits are now revoked. Please experience the various changes yourself.

New Task: Internet cafe balance reaches ten million taels.

Task Progress: 594/1000

Task Reward: Twelve sets of matching computers, the TV series of "legend of sword and fairy 1", choose one of three single-player games, host authority upgrade... To be honest, Ge Liang was very excited when he saw these three games.

After all, these three games were very famous back on Earth.

The first game, diablo ii, is an action role-playing game developed by Blizzard Entertainment in the United States.

In the game, players create their own characters, run, kill enemies, seek treasure, and grow across various dark lands, ultimately defeating the dark forces ruling the continents and saving the various races in the game.

Although the game's plot is a bit cliché, the gameplay is beyond reproach.

Coupled with the fact that this game can be played online with friends, it's truly a very suitable game for an internet cafe.

The second game, resident evil 1, was released even earlier than the one above. Its sales share was definitely a phenomenal existence back then, and its classic status is in no way inferior to diablo ii.

However, while this game is good, it's not quite suitable for the current internet cafe.

After all, there are no miraculous Cultivation Techniques in the game, only some powerful firearms.

These firearms might seem powerful to ordinary people, but in the face of Ninjutsu, their power is somewhat lacking.

Of course, this refers to firearms, not including nuclear bombs!

The third game, legend of sword and fairy 1, was the first RPG game Ge Liang ever played on a computer.

The game tells the story of Li Xiaoyao, an ordinary inn waiter, who by chance meets Zhao Linger, a descendant of the Nuwa clan.

Immortal Spirit Island, where Zhao Linger resided, was unexpectedly attacked, and Li Xiaoyao took on the important task of escorting Ling'er to Miao Frontier to find her mother.

During the journey, Li Xiaoyao successively met Lin Yueru and Anu.

Later, during Zhao Linger's process of helping the Miao people pray for rain to end the drought and eliminate evil, the mystery of Zhao Linger's identity and the whereabouts of her mother were finally revealed.

At this point, the conspiracy of the great villain, Leader Baiyue, was laid bare before everyone, but Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and the others did not know that this battle with Leader Baiyue would forge an eternal tragedy.

Overall, the gameplay of legend of sword and fairy 1 is not as strong as diablo ii, but its plot is undoubtedly more touching than diablo ii. Moreover, legend of sword and fairy 1 contains Cultivation Techniques like Five Elements Magic and Sword Control Technique.

This kind of Cultivation Technique is a good thing that can increase human lifespan. Even if the cultivation Secret Manuals in legend of sword and fairy 1 cannot truly lead to Immortal Ascension and eternal life, practicing them deeply should allow one to live for several decades or even a hundred years longer... Ge Liang immediately ruled out resident evil 1 from the three games.

It's not that resident evil 1 is bad, but it's not suitable for his internet cafe at the moment.

However, the two games, diablo ii and legend of sword and fairy 1, left Ge Liang in a dilemma.

From the perspective of game skills.

The former has fantasy magic, and the latter has cultivation Spells.

Both are very powerful and have their own advantages, but the fact that cultivation Spells increase lifespan greatly interested Ge Liang.

From this point of view, legend of sword and fairy 1 has an advantage over diablo ii.

Then there's gameplay; legend of sword and fairy 1 is a bit weaker than diablo ii.

The latter can be played online, with up to eight people.

From this perspective, diablo ii has an advantage over legend of sword and fairy 1.

The two are equally matched, which is what made Ge Liang most conflicted.

"Huh? What does'Story Version' mean?"

Just now, because he was too excited to see the new games, Ge Liang didn't pay attention to the words in the parentheses after the game titles. Now it seems that this game might be slightly different from what he used to play?

"System, can you explain what'Story Version' and'Sandbox Version' mean?"

Apparently, as an unintelligent tool System, it did not answer Ge Liang's question.

However, this did not hinder Ge Liang's speculation.

"Story Version, I guess it means players follow the game's plot. Tsk, isn't that similar to the normal version? Or is my guess wrong?"

"The Sandbox Version is easier to understand. the legend of jin yong heroes can also be considered a sandbox game; there's no fixed plot, you can play it however you want."

"Could it be that in legend of sword and fairy 1, you can even become an emperor?"

"If that's possible, then it would be interesting."

After a long deliberation, Ge Liang finally chose legend of sword and fairy 1 from the three games.

Compared to the uncertain Story Version, the meaning of the Sandbox Version is easy to understand.

Furthermore, the previous game was a Wuxia game, so transitioning from Wuxia to Xianxia shouldn't feel too abrupt.

What's more, legend of sword and fairy 1 has cultivation Secret Manuals that can increase lifespan and Sword Control Technique.

Ge Liang absolutely had to learn this cool Sword Flight technique.

Moreover, the reward for the next task includes the TV series of legend of sword and fairy 1. If he chose another game, what would happen to this TV series?

If the TV series and the game were separated, Ge Liang would feel it was a waste.

Therefore, all things considered, choosing legend of sword and fairy 1 was the best outcome... With the game selected, Ge Liang began to check his authority.

As mentioned before, besides being able to buy some daily necessities within the System, Ge Liang could buy very few other things, and even if he could, they were all rip-offs.

Like that iron underpants.

Now, his authority has increased by 1 level, so he can definitely buy more things than before.

"I hope this Level 1 authority will allow me to renovate this internet cafe."

Ge Liang didn't have high hopes for other functions, but he really hoped for renovation authority this time.

host Authority: 1

Renovation authority unlocked.

New room unlocked: enlightenment chamber (host exclusive).

enlightenment chamber: For skills the host cannot learn, money can be spent to use the enlightenment chamber to increase the host's proficiency in mastering this skill.

New items added to the mall: Swords (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced Magical Artifacts), Daoist Robes (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced Magical Artifacts), Bigu Dan, Hemostasis Pills... Five Elements Spirit Orbs (Water, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Earth)... Matching computers, Immersive Mode 2.0 (unlocked)... After some time, Ge Liang finally understood that this was not an internet cafe System at all; it was clearly a pay-to-win System.

Because the novice period was over, things that were previously free in the internet cafe now required money to use.

For example, the 'Annihilation' and Deprivation skills Ge Liang used against Danzo now both require money to use.

Skills of this level actually cost ten million taels per use.
