After Honda finished speaking, the stout man showed no emotion, merely saying calmly, "I understand..."
With that, the man took out a pouch full of gold and silver treasures and handed it to Honda.
"This is your reward."
Honda took the pouch without hesitation, immediately opened it to check, and after confirming that his employer hadn't cheated him, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Boss, if there's another good opportunity like this next time, remember to find me."
In Honda's opinion, he had merely gone to the internet cafe to 'show off a bit' and incidentally gather some information. Even if an accident occurred along the way and he got shocked, considering the amount of gold and silver, this mission was definitely a plum job.
"If the boss has nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Yes, you may leave."
With the mission complete and no further instructions from his employer, Honda happily prepared to leave with his pouch.
But as he turned around, the man suddenly pulled out a Kunai, charged forward, and plunged it into Honda's back.
"You..."
Turning his head with difficulty, Honda looked at the man in disbelief, as if asking why he was killing him.
"Sorry, you're no longer useful."
'Thud~' Honda fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.
Looking at the deceased Honda, the man suddenly formed a hand sign, and with a 'pop,' transformed into a different appearance.
It turned out that the man who had met Honda earlier was not in his true form, but had used Transformation Jutsu.
After releasing the Transformation Jutsu, he revealed his true face.
This person had ash-gray hair, a handsome appearance, and wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses.
"Who is this Ge Liang who suddenly appeared? So reckless... I hope he doesn't ruin that lord's plan."
No matter what, Honda was a registered Genin of Konoha Village. Ge Liang directly attacked him with Lightning Release Ninjutsu in the internet cafe, which was practically a provocation to Konoha's Ninja hierarchy.
"The information isn't comprehensive enough; I'll have to probe him myself."
Saying this, the person adjusted his glasses, revealing a confident smile... Two hours had passed since Naruto and the others started playing legend of sword and fairy 1.
During these two hours, Ge Liang became increasingly speechless watching the computer screens of the three.
Can you imagine Naruto writing a letter to the aunt on the afternoon of the second day, then running out of Yuhang Town to become a hero elsewhere?
Can you imagine Sasuke, after learning that Shili Slope was a good place to level up, training there for three days and three nights (game time), leading to the aunt's death at the hands of the Moon Worship Cultists?
Can you also imagine Sakura, after going to Xianling Island to save the aunt, accidentally killing Zhao Linger's grandmother?
It must be said that games enhanced by the System are truly amazing.
Even if the plot was so messed up that its own mother wouldn't recognize it, the game could still be played.
While speechless, Ge Liang also watched with interest.
He really wanted to see how many more bizarre things these three would come up with.
"Boss, this new game feels so difficult, I don't understand how to play it?"
Just as Ge Liang was watching with relish, a Ninja next to him spoke up.
From the Ninja's appearance, it was clear this person hadn't appeared in the anime, so Ge Liang wasn't very familiar with him.
However, since he was a customer, Ge Liang dutifully asked, "What part don't you understand?"
"I don't understand any of it."
Hearing this, Ge Liang didn't get angry, thinking the person was toying with him, but continued to ask, "Are you new here?"
"I only started playing games yesterday."
Nodding, Ge Liang pretty much understood.
"I suggest you play the legend of jin yong heroes first. Once you're familiar with it, then come back to play legend of sword and fairy 1."
"Is that so?"
The person thought for a moment, then decided to follow Ge Liang's advice, exited legend of sword and fairy 1, and opened the legend of jin yong heroes.
Actually, Ge Liang suggesting he play the legend of jin yong heroes first was also to avoid wasting his breath.
Although 'Jin Yong' is also a sandbox game, its NPCs are not as intelligent as those in legend of sword and fairy 1, and the former's main quest is already explained at the beginning of the game: collect the fourteen Heavenly Books.
legend of sword and fairy 1 is different; its NPCs are as intelligent as real people, and the main quest is not explained at the beginning of the game.
If a novice player starts directly with a game of this level, their mind will surely be filled with the three philosophical questions: Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
To avoid wasting words, Ge Liang believed it was better for novices to play the first game, understand the game mechanics, and then play the second.
Of course, besides avoiding wasted words, increasing player online time and earning more money was also a reason... After six hours of intense play, Naruto successfully became a moderately renowned hero in legend of sword and fairy 1.
Sakura, having killed Zhao Linger's grandmother, completely fell out with the female protagonist and was constantly being hunted by Zhao Linger.
As for Sasuke, he had no intention of avenging the aunt and was relentlessly grinding monsters to level up.
He leveled up all the way from Shili Slope to the Snake Cave.
In terms of Rank, he was much higher than Sakura and Naruto, but because he hadn't learned Sword Control Technique, even when he leveled up, he only gained basic attributes and didn't learn any Moves or Spells.
This Sword Control Technique is not just the Sword Control Incantation Move; it's a complete Secret Manual covering Sword Flight, Myriad Sword Art, Heavenly Sword, Sword Control Demon Subduing, and Sword God.
It must be said that Li Xiaoyao in the game is simply a BUG. He can learn such a complete Secret Manual just by reading it once. This Comprehension Ability completely surpasses those so-called Geniuses.
"Uncle, this game is simply too fun, much more fun than the last one."
Naruto was clearly very satisfied with being a hero in the game.
"I think this game is terrible. I was hunted by that Zhao Linger for a whole month, and just when I finally got rid of her, I fell into the hands of another demon."
Unlike Naruto, Sakura's game experience was terrible; being hunted by Zhao Linger for a month was unprecedented.
"I think there's something wrong with this game."
Looking at the frowning Sasuke, Ge Liang wore an amused expression.
"Oh? What do you think is wrong? Tell me about it."
