Yandere Erii, stop tormenting Lu Mingfei!

Yuan Zhisheng admitted that he had underestimated Lu Mingfei, this blond-haired guy.

Tonight, when Erii went to Lu Mingfei's house to catch him, Genji was responsible for driving them to the arcade, and also served as his sister's personal bodyguard.

As for Crow and Yaksha, those two idiots, they also wanted to hitch a ride to the arcade, but Genji told them to get rid of that embarrassing Colonel's voice first before they could join them.

This is also a major reason why they ultimately did not become members of Shilan High School. If they had gone there, wouldn't Shilan High School have become Linglan High School?

As soon as Genjiro appeared at the arcade, girls immediately surrounded him, holding up their phones and asking for photos, saying sweetly, "Hey handsome, which anime character are you dressed as? You're so cool! Can I add you on QQ?"

Yuan Zhisheng coldly rejected many suitors, and quite a few of his favorite types did try to chat him up, but unfortunately he had to look after his sister and Lu Mingfei and couldn't spare the time.

From Genjiro's perspective, although this city can't compare to Tokyo, it still has quite a few games and attractions in its arcades.

He was like a resentful and twisted ghost, silently following behind Lu Mingfei and Erii, watching them play various games.

"Sakura is amazing!" Erii exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Tch, it's just motorcycle racing, right? I've won the Japanese motorcycle racing championship, why don't you praise me?" Genji complained inwardly.

"Wow! Sakura's marksmanship is the best in the world! She took down all the zombies!" Erii said shyly, as if she was about to faint from happiness at any moment.

"Tch, it's just shooting. I can handle real guns, you know how to dual-wield Desert Eagles with 100% accuracy?" Genji's resentment increased by 1.

Lu Mingfei and Erii played various video games in a whirlwind fashion, while Genjiro transformed into a human-shaped, straight-walking吐槽 machine (a machine that delivers sarcastic and critical comments).

No matter what Lu Mingfei did, Erii praised him effusively.

They looked just like a young couple deeply in love.

Several times, Genjiro couldn't help but want to run away, feeling like a huge third wheel.

But she was also worried that Lu Mingfei might take advantage of her.

He stubbornly endured his internal injuries and continued to follow.

Finally, they went to the arcade and chose Street Fighter IV from among the fighting games.

Street Fighter is a 1v1 mode, best of three matches.

Then he watched as Lu Mingfei easily defeated Erii's character with Chun-Li, even when both matches were almost at full health.

At this moment, Genjiro was shocked.

This is the first time I've discovered the qualities that Lu Mingfei has that I admire.

It's important to know that Erii's fighting game skills are not bad. Although she mainly uses PS3 and doesn't play many arcade games, her basic fighting game skills are quite good. No matter what, she couldn't possibly have been beaten up so badly.

Erii tried many times afterward, but Lu Mingfei beat her so badly that she couldn't fight back. Even when she held back and was beaten to the point of being almost dead, Lu Mingfei could turn the tide of the battle in an instant if he wanted to.

Erii kept shouting "So amazing!" while losing.

"Shall I give it a try?" At this moment, the ghost-like Genji intervened in their "date" for the first time.

"Brother Yuan, do you want to play with Erii?" Lu Mingfei turned his head nervously, and when he saw Yuan Zhisheng's cold face, he became nervous and stood up on his own.

"No, I want to fight you," said Genjiro.

Erii stood up, offered her seat to her brother, and said expectantly, "Brother is really good at this kind of game!"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, wondering whether he should let this underworld young master win, fearing that if he won, the other party might get angry and punch him a couple of times.

"Show me your full strength. I can tell from the details of your operation that you are a master. I was a top four in the 07 Street Fighter competition and a runner-up in 08. Let's respect each other as heroes, so don't hold back, or I'll find out..." Genji hesitated, then glared at Lu Mingfei with a serious look.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei straightened his back and became serious.

Tougeki, also known as the Japan Fighting Game National Tournament, is a highly competitive event that brings together top players.

In 07, Chinese fighting game player Zeng Zhuojun, nicknamed "Xiaohai," won the championship in the King of Fighters '98 event, becoming famous overnight.

Therefore, Genjiro's Street Fighter semi-finalist and runner-up titles are incredibly prestigious!

The thought of competing with such a master made Lu Mingfei even a little excited. In other fields, he might be so bad that he would be stuck on the floor, but in the field of games, Lu Mingfei had an inexplicable sense of pride.

At this moment, his shoulders, hands, and calves were trembling slightly, as if every cell in his body was in a state of excitement.

"Come on, Lu Mingfei, let me see your strength." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and pressed the start button for 2P.

After thinking for a moment, Genji chose: Akuma.

At the start of the first game, both sides appeared very cautious, probing each other's playing styles.

After testing the feel of the joystick, Genji controlled Akuma to approach Chun-Li. Chun-Li tried to use her Hundred-Crack Kick to create distance, but Akuma simply crouched down and disappeared into black mist just as his leg shadow was about to reach him.

Asura Flash!

Akuma used his invincibility frames to evade the restraints!

Chun-Li was forced to the edge of the screen.

Then, seizing Chun-Li's opening, he instantly delivered a heavy punch followed by a medium punch! Then a light punch, each strike precisely timed to strike Chun-Li while she was in a vulnerable state.

Finally, Akuma grabbed Chun-Li by the neck with one hand, pressed her against the edge of the screen, and with his other hand, palm up, condensed a dark red energy ball.

"Destroy Hadouken!" Energy exploded, and Chun-Li's health bar was instantly emptied!

Lu Mingfei wiped the sweat from his forehead. He lost the first round so decisively, truly living up to his reputation as the runner-up in the Touju game.

Whoosh!

Lu Mingfei exhaled a restless breath, closed his eyes, and recalled the details of the battle just now. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a completely different person.

My pupils constricted, my heart suddenly raced, I heard a buzzing sound in my ears, and my blood felt like it was boiling, surging wildly through my veins.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei's perception of time seemed to slow down.

In the past, he would only enter this state when he encountered professional-level players while playing StarCraft.

In this state, his gaming potential will be fully unlocked, and his brain will be running at overclock.

"Let's start the second round," Lu Mingfei said.

This time, Lu Mingfei's Chun-Li changed tactics, no longer passively defending, but taking the initiative to attack from the very beginning!

Chun-Li rushed forward, and Gouki, seeing this, unleashed a powerful air-slicing wave!

But just as her opponent made their move, she crouched down, and blue energy swirled around her entire body.

SA! Charged attack!

Akuma instinctively lunged forward, attempting to break through the defense with a heavy kick.

Just as he raised his foot, Chun-Li canceled her SA and landed a precise standing kick to his knee.

In an instant, Chun-Li was airborne, spinning in the air! Her legs spread out like a windmill!

Bashan Kick! EX Technique!

Akuma was swept into the sky, and Chun-Li dashed forward the moment she landed, jumping again from where Akuma had landed—another round of Hazan-kick.

He kicked Akuma up again.

Then Chun-Li did the same thing!

The third jump!

Fourth jump!

Until Chun-Li's energy gauge is depleted.

The moment he landed, Akuma instinctively went to defend himself!

But Chun-Li had already closed in, and with a light step, she followed up with a standing light punch, canceling the follow-up to the Qigong punch.

A basic combo, simple and unadorned. The final strike is Chun-Li doing a backflip, drawing an elegant arc in the air, landing on one knee with her right hand on the ground and her left hand extended backward like a swan folding its wings.

KO!

Lu Mingfei defeated Yuan Zhisheng with a simple yet powerful combo.

The score was tied at 1-1.

This makes the final game crucial.

Genjiro couldn't help but get excited; he felt as if he were standing right in the arena of the tougeki tournament! His blood was boiling!

"I never expected you could beat me in a round, but I won't make the same mistake again, Lu-san." Genji was like a bloodthirsty cheetah, revealing his deadly fangs after thoroughly familiarizing himself with his opponent's playing style and techniques.

Erii, who was watching from the sidelines, also felt the atmosphere between the two and couldn't help but watch the battle quietly and become extremely engrossed.

The final round begins.

Both sides were fully focused.

At the beginning, the game remained very close, with both sides probing each other, using light attacks to try and gamble, and using low and medium kicks to control the distance.

Until Chun-Li's Ki Bung Punch was neutralized by Akuma's SA Charged Power!

Akuma has found a weakness!

He countered, unleashing a powerful punch followed by a slashing wave.

Chun-Li leaped to dodge the wave, but was hit in mid-air by Akuma's heavy Rising Dragon Punch!

Chun-Li was at a disadvantage in terms of health, so she began to retreat.

Akuma wasn't in a hurry; he walked slowly, constantly compressing Chun-Li's screen space!

When it was almost time, Akuma made his move.

An EX Slash Wave followed by two red Hadouken flying in one after the other!

Chun-Li leaps up, and Gouki charges forward at the same time—Ashura Flashes Through the Sky!

He appeared at Chun-Li's landing spot and threw a powerful punch.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that Chun-Li's health was reduced to a sliver!

"It's over!" Genji announced the outcome of the match ahead of time.

At the same time, he unleashed his ultimate finishing move!

Once activated, as long as it hits the opponent within the effective range, it will trigger the special move animation!

Lu Mingfei's Chun-Li had nowhere left to retreat!

She stood still, in a defensive stance.

Akuma charged in as a black shadow, his movements so fast they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. But in that instant, Lu Mingfei manually turned the joystick!

Joystick - Forward!

The shadow passed through her body.

It was perfectly blocked!

Joystick Down!

Akuma impaled for the second time.

Chun-Li's body flashed with blue light, still managing to block the attack.

Joystick - Back!

Blue light flashes!

Akuma's third deadly attack was blocked once again!

Even though the Shungokusatsu animation had already started, Akuma's figure transformed into countless black afterimages that rapidly traversed the screen.

But every rapid thrust was precisely defended by Lu Mingfei's precise control of the joystick!

Lu Mingfei was like a ruthless defensive machine, skillfully manipulating the joystick to block all of Akuma's attacks in a very short moment!

At this moment, it was Genji's turn to panic.

He remembered someone: Daigo Umehara, the fighting god of Street Fighter!

In a match in 04, he used Ken to block all of Chun-Li's attacks, even when he was at low health!

This is a special mechanism in Street Fighter games: as long as the direction of the joystick is aligned with each of the enemy's attacks, you can perfectly defend!

But that's almost impossible!

Achieving a combo of more than ten hits in an instant requires a reaction speed at the frame rate level!

But Daigo Umehara once accomplished such an incredible feat!

And now Lu Mingfei is replicating this famous scene!

He perfectly blocked all of Genjiro's attacks!

The animation for Shungoku Satsu ended. Akuma remained in his punching stance, standing behind Chun-Li.

Lu Mingfei's chance to retaliate has arrived!

Chun-Li turned around, and while Akuma was still recovering from his attack, she had her only chance to win!

EX Qi Gong Palm! Hundred-Crack Kick! Followed by Fan Hua!

This is a precise and deadly combo!

Chun-Li spun around, her legs transforming into deadly blades, giving Akuma no chance to breathe, continuing to strangle him until he died!

KO!!!

Lu Mingfei, with a sliver of health remaining, managed to defeat Yuan Zhisheng and win the match!

When the word "KO" popped up, the two men, whose expressions had been tense, both breathed a sigh of relief.

In an instant, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Genjiro looked at Lu Mingfei with an expression full of approval; at least in the game Street Fighter, he admitted that he was not as good as Lu Mingfei.

What a monster! The fact that I'm this good is partly due to the dragon blood. Lu Mingfei, if you can beat me, your gaming talent is truly unimaginable!

At this moment, Lu Mingfei seemed to have lost all his strength, and his body swayed unsteadily.

The next moment, he felt something soft on his head. It turned out that Erii had immediately stepped forward and used her chest, as gentle as a spring ridgeline, to support Lu Mingfei as he was about to fall.

"Sakura is the best!" Erii smiled sweetly.
