Chapter 10 Magic
"Young Master, do you think I performed well?"
Achong took off the virtual device and looked at Wu Lei with a simple and honest expression.
At this moment, Achong no longer had the air of a master who had just hunted a Tobi-Kadachi.
"You, you, how did you do that?"
Wu Lei was so surprised that he stammered.
This wasn't just 'performing well'; it was absolutely incredible.
Achong scratched his head in embarrassment: "When I was in the General Estate, I would sometimes go to the Martial Arts Training Ground to watch the Master practice archery. When I had free time, I even secretly practiced a bit myself. I didn't expect it to be quite handy in the game!"
Wu Lei listened with his mouth wide open.
This is possible?
But then he thought, anyone can secretly practice, but not everyone can achieve results.
Achong must have an amazing talent for archery.
It was just that as a servant, no one had noticed it before.
"Good, good!"
After the initial surprise, Wu Lei laughed happily.
"Achong, with you here, hunting other monsters will be much easier. I'll rely on you to lead me from now on."
Achong, hearing this, was filled with trepidation and quickly said, "You are the Young Master, I am just a servant. I will certainly follow your lead, Young Master!"
Wu Lei waved his hand: "Those things aren't important. As long as you can help me take down the monsters later, even Ancient Dragons, it wouldn't be a problem for me to call you Young Master in the future!"
"You can't, you can't!"
Achong's face turned pale at his words, almost too scared to even play the game.
This made Su Ran, who was behind him, recall a phrase from the internet in his previous life: In reality, I am submissive, but in the game, I strike hard.
...
With the addition of Achong, this master, and as the two became more familiar with the game, their game progress was significantly faster.
After completing the mission of subjugating the Great Girros.
They found the Ancient Dragonian of the Forest in the upper levels of the Ancient Tree Forest and inquired about the whereabouts of the Melting Mountain Dragon.
"What can I do for you two hunters?"
"If you wish to know the whereabouts of the dragon that bears the volcano, then you are not yet qualified to know this information."
"Only those who stand at the apex of the ecosystem, those who subdue the Fire Dragon and the Horned Dragon, are qualified to know the secrets of this land."
Wu Lei's anger was instantly ignited by the Forest Dragonian's disdainful and contemptuous tone.
"Damn it, isn't it just hunting a Rathalos and a Diablos? Who are you looking down on? We'll hunt them for you in minutes, right, Achong?"
"Yes, Young Master!" Achong quickly echoed.
But at the same time, Wu Lei was also quite excited, because it seemed they would soon be able to access the secrets of the Melting Mountain Dragon.
"Let's go, Achong, let's hunt the Rathalos first!"
Wu Lei tightened his grip on the Taichi Sword in his hand, his blood already boiling, ready to set off.
"The Internet Cafe is about to close. Please exit the game."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wu Lei and Achong were simultaneously ejected from the game by the system.
"Damn it!"
Wu Lei felt as if cold water had been poured on him, his face full of displeasure. He was already holding his Taichi Sword, ready to go to the Rathalos's lair, and then you tell him he can't play anymore?
Isn't the Internet Cafe open until ten at night?
It's still so early, why are you closing?
However, when Wu Lei looked out the window, he was a bit stunned, because it was already dark outside.
"Oh my god, how is it already night? I haven't played for long..."
They had come in early morning and had played until it was now night.
It was just that the immersive experience of the game was too strong, and it was too addictive, which gave them the illusion that they hadn't played for long.
Wu Lei exclaimed, looking like he hadn't played enough, "Boss, let me play a bit longer!"
"No."
"I can pay more, just name your price."
"I told you yesterday, it's not about money. This is the Internet Cafe's rule, you aren't unaware of it, are you?"
Of course, Wu Lei knew, because this rule had infuriated him yesterday.
And yesterday, Wu Lei hadn't even played this game. Now that he was addicted today, this feeling was even stronger.
"Boss, I'm about to reach the pinnacle of the New World! You can't do this, let me play for two more hours, just two hours!"
Just as he was about to uncover the truth about the Melting Mountain Dragon, he was told he couldn't play.
This feeling was even more maddening and uncomfortable than being killed a hundred times by a monster.
"No."
Su Ran still shook his head and refused.
This rule was set by the Internet Cafe; he couldn't change it.
Besides, playing the game up to the Melting Mountain Dragon only marked the end of the low-rank difficulty. It wasn't even half of the content; how could it be that fast?
"What if I insist on playing today…"
Wu Lei was about to lose his temper.
Then he heard Su Ran laugh: "I will repeat myself: if you break the Internet Cafe's rules, you will never be able to play games here again."
"You…"
Wu Lei instantly shut his mouth.
Seeing that Su Ran was unyielding, Wu Lei gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
"Fine, I'll come back tomorrow, first thing in the morning. Let's go, Achong, back to the Estate!"
Wu Lei and Achong were about to leave.
"Coming to play is not a problem, but I suggest you two first digest what you played today before coming again."
Su Ran reminded them again.
Digest? Digest what?
Wu Lei was still puzzled.
"Young, Young Master, Qi, there's so much Qi in my body."
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something strange about Achong beside him. Around Achong, a large amount of Martial Qi suddenly swirled, and his aura surged.
Achong immediately sat down on the ground, regulating his breath and meditating.
Then, a Bronze-colored star ring, formed by Martial Qi, slowly condensed on Achong's wrist, and one star on the star ring lit up.
"Martial Qi Star Ring, Bronze 1-star. Achong, you've become a Martial Artist?"
Wu Lei was aghast.
But this wasn't the end; immediately after, Achong quickly lit up a second star, and then a third star.
"Bronze 2-star, Bronze 3-star..."
Wu Lei's scalp tingled, and his body trembled.
Although Achong was just a servant in the General Estate, he also had the qualification to cultivate Martial Arts.
It was just that Achong's Martial Arts talent was limited; he hadn't even reached Bronze 1-star before, at most he was at the level of a Martial Disciple.
But now, he had instantly gone from a Martial Disciple to a Bronze 3-star Martial Artist.
Bronze 3-star, this had already reached the standard for recruiting students for the Royal Academy of Feiyun Country.
Such a situation was simply incredible.
Wu Lei was dumbfounded, and just as he was about to ask Achong what was happening, at that moment, he finally discovered the abnormality in his own body.
Waves of dense Martial Qi were continuously pouring into his body.
"This, this is... Qi? How can I feel Qi now?"
"Could it be that my blocked meridians have been cleared?"
