System: Warnet In Other World
Chapter 49: Parents Playing Games
“I think this is the place.”
The old men had white hair, but their footsteps were strong and steady, unlike others their age.
the elder who walked in front was thin, but he had a thick bone structure and a fat forehead. His serious expression and meticulous movements gave others a strong sense of presence.
The aura he emanated was different from that of the official who was given a lot of treasures after the war. The latter showed their new nobility with utmost arrogance while this man looked like someone who was born to be a noble; prestige flowed in his blood.
Everything about this old man proved that he was not someone of ordinary status!
the tall and large elder behind him pushed open the glass door. Then, the elder bowed and waited at the side.
Nalan Hongwu walked in, and elder Fu shouted, “Who is the owner?”
Fang Qi pointed to the small whiteboard and replied, “What do you want to play?”
elder Fu looked at Fang Qi from top to bottom; all he saw was an ordinary young man. Therefore, he weakly waved his hand and said, “Tell the owner to come here. Sir I want to meet him. ”
“...” Fang Qi is at a loss for words. He had never seen anyone act with this high status.
He frowned and said, “I'm the store owner, but I didn't have a meeting with a customer I.”
After hearing this, elder Fu's expression darkened, and Fang Qi immediately felt an overbearing pressure approaching him.
With a grim expression on his face, Fang Qi said, “If you're here to cause trouble, I'll have to deal with you like that!”
elder Fu froze, surprised that Fang Qi's expression remained unchanged in front of the pressure he exerted. Very impressive for a young man of his age!
This shop is really something special!
“old Fu.” Just then, Nalan Hongwu opened his mouth and said, “Let's follow the rules and take a look at the spiritual artifacts they call computers; see if they are truly magical! ”
“Ya sir!”
“Nak!” Nalan Hongwu pointed at the computer in front of him and asked, “Is this a computer? How do I use it? ”
“First, decide what you want to play, then I will tell you how to use it,” Fang Qi replied emotionlessly.
“Then ... Diablo.” elder tapped his stick on a small whiteboard.
“Simple only.” Just as Fang Qi was about to explain to them how to use a computer, the tall elder grabbed his right hand and smiled. “Nak, I want to explain everything first. If the spiritual artifacts here were truly magical, then it was fine. But if not, a simple apology won't cut it! ”
“Other people who know nothing?” As soon as he finished speaking, a voice filled with contempt muttered, “Don't be surprised by what you'll see.”
After hearing this, Elder Fu's face darkened.
The one who said that was An Cheng.
He and his friends heard that the owner published an official novel, and they listened to Fang Qi as he told Shen Qingqing about the plot. Right now, An Cheng and the others were discussing it amongst themselves, and that was why they were still there.
Nalan Hongwu sneered. “It was just a spiritual artifact that created an illusion. Why would I be surprised? ”
In the past, he would slap a young man like An Cheng out of the room. But today, he didn't do it. To him and elder Fu, Diablo II was merely an illusion created by a spiritual artifact called a computer.
The surroundings may seem real, but they are all fake. Cultivators who created spiritual artifacts like these were indeed powerful, but they shouldn't be so magical, they thought.
“Blood Smelting Fraction? The Sea of Blood sand array? Whatisit? ”An Cheng and the others glanced at each other in confusion.
Through Fang Qi's guidance, the two old men finally started playing the game. Of the two warrior classes, the Paladins were more prestigious compared to the Barbarians, so that was what they chose.
After seeing the animation on the computer, they nodded in satisfaction. “This is interesting.”
But it was really only a spiritual artifact that created an illusion. It might be possible to deceive normal people, but for us, this is nothing …
However, when they entered Diablo World and started playing the game …
The two of them looked at the life-like world before them with dry mouths. They felt howling winds and raindrops and saw clouds in the sky, grass on the ground, and pedestrians on the streets.
“Is this really just a spiritual artifact that creates illusions?”
When he looked through the memory of the back story of the paladin that had suddenly appeared in his head, Nalan Hongwu felt like he had been reborn into another world!
It all feels so real!
What's different is that this place has everything the world needs! It was not an unstable world in an illusion where only boring elements like sand, ocean, and fire existed!
“Happy day! Nice to meet you, prestigious paladin, ”a pedestrian wearing strange clothes greeted them, surprising them to their core!
“Cannot be! Impossible! “Nalan Hongwu was stunned as he muttered to himself,” How could there be this realistic illusion? ”
He carefully asked the man in front of him, “You ...?”
“My name is Warriv. As you can see, I am the leader of the caravan .. ”
Nalan Hongwu and elder Fu were completely dumbfounded when they spoke to this NPC.
Is this really just an illusion? It feels like the real world! It is surprising that spiritual artifacts can take things so far! None of them had ever seen or even heard of anything like this!
Their disgust quickly turned into surprise!
Through talking to Warriv, they slowly understood the background of the world they were in. At that moment, they felt like they were young paladins from the west, seeking adventure by helping out this encampment that hung on a thread!
Yes, the young paladins are not old men!
“Fu, when was the last time we fought side by side?” Nalan Hongwu felt his body injected with young energy. Outside of the internet cafe, he was an old man who was dying. But inside the cafe, he was a young man in his twenties or thirties with a body made of steel!
He waved his weapon in the air, stirring a sharp wind and creating a whistling sound within the campground.
“I think ... a few hundred years ago ..” elder Fu took a deep breath of fresh air as the weapon in his hand trembled with his hand. His strong physique and high spirit made him feel like a man in his twenties or thirties as well; that was when he first set foot into the chaotic world back then!
As elders who had gone through bloody wars and fought throughout the region, they had never lost their pride and passion. However, the empire was now peaceful and did not need heroes anymore, so they had nowhere to put down their sentiments and aspirations.
Therefore, they had to live the rest of their lives in seclusion and leave the future to their successors.
Nalan Hongwu looked up and howled, “My long sword will sweep away all obstacles! Do you have what it takes to bathe blood with Me again? ”
After hearing this, Fang Qi's face twitched as he thought, Can the elderly suffer from Eighth-Grader Syndrome as well?
TL Note: Chunibyo is a Japanese colloquial term that translates to “syndrome second year middle school” or “eighth grade syndrome”, usually used to describe early teenagers who have delusions of grandeur, who are, who are eager to show that they have convinced themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. – Wikipedia
