Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Seeing that the Silver Wolf had really walked away, Kafka leaned against the wall, her fingers supporting her chin gently stroking her lips, revealing a faint smile.

Tickets? That's an interesting idea.

------

Since Silver Wolf boasted that he would launch a surprise attack on Pinocchio, Wang Xuanqiao would have a hard time leaving.

Originally I just wanted to see if the breakup between Firefly and Star Core Hunter was peaceful enough, but I couldn't resist promoting the deal and actually managed to attract a new member.

If you add in the current number of members, including Silver Wolf, there are 25. Last time, the game store was unlocked when the number of members exceeded five. I wonder if there will be any new features unlocked when the number of members exceeds 30 or 50.

[Big Boss, you finally asked me a question again! Woohoo—I'm almost becoming a mere decoration, I'm so miserable!]

The number of members actually represents the level of development of the arcade and is also a core indicator of the underlying rules for measuring arcade revenue. For example, the reason the game mall is unlocked only after 5 members is to prevent hosts from wasting points before they have sufficient revenue, which could lead to the eventual failure of the business.

Then there's the issue of membership. When the number of members reaches 30 or more, you can unlock the points lottery and the member unlock privilege cash-out feature. In simple terms, members can choose to cancel unlocked games and exchange them for system points.

[As for the point-based lottery, the specific format is set by the host and can be scratch tickets or a large wheel, but the items in the prize pool will only be generated based on the existing member base. The probability of winning is completely random, and there is no guarantee. After each prize pool period, 10% of the points invested by members in the lottery will be allocated to the host.]

Wow, no guarantee, is it that ruthless? Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

However, the lottery function that is unlocked by 30 people does reveal some clues about the development of the system. It is for no other reason than to recover points from members.

No wonder the prices in the members’ mall have basically increased several times. It feels like they are waiting here.

[After 30 members, there's another level for 55 members. But please allow me to keep it a secret for a while, and I'll reveal the answer to you once the number of members reaches that level.]

Since the system wanted to maintain suspense, to incentivize the system to recruit more members, Wang Xuanqiao didn't hesitate to ask about it. After all, these features... weren't really necessary to him, so he just considered them a benefit for the members.

All I can say is that it's just curiosity, with no real interest in it. If I had to say, the feature of unlocking privileges for cash is actually against his interests. After all, that means that some members will choose to cash out in the future, which means one less new game will be added to the library.

But by then it meant that the number of members exceeded 30, and Curry would have at least 30 games. Wang Xuanqiao really didn't think it was necessary to worry about the gains and losses of one or two games by then.

Just after listening to the introduction of the system, Silver Wolf actually rushed to Pinoconi using his real body.

Wang Xuanqiao was the first to sense the unusual movement in the space, and then a piece of cartoon graffiti inexplicably appeared on the ground. Then something unexpected happened. The Silver Wolf looked like a game character, as if it was generated on the graffiti with data in an instant.

"What did I say? Company fleet, family security, that's it." As soon as the Silver Wolf appeared, he waved his hand and raised a sneer of "that's it" at the corner of his mouth.

"If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have left some marks to laugh at them." She shrugged, then noticed Wang Xuanqiao looking at the graffiti under his feet, and felt a sense of nervousness for no reason.

"What are you doing?" Silver Wolf quickly stepped forward and blocked the mark with his body. "Didn't you say you were going to the arcade? Come on, walk."

"Okay, let's go." Wang Xuanqiao retracted his gaze, turned around and asked the system to open a door.

Liuying had to return to the train for something, so naturally he was the only one who had to open the door this time.

After Wang Xuanqiao led Silver Wolf back to the game hall, he found that Huang Quan, who had arrived at the game hall earlier, had not entered the game, but was talking to Bianca across the counter.

"Is that so? So you come from another world." Huang Quan nodded slightly after listening to Bianca's introduction.

Sure enough... they look very similar.

"In the journey among the stars, you will occasionally meet similar 'old friends'. It's as if the past time has suddenly caught up with you, making you feel dazed." She said softly.

"In other words, have you seen anyone similar to me in the universe?" Bianca blinked, a little curious.

"Yes. But your hair color is different. Hers is white, just like the bright moonlight." Huang Quan suddenly sighed, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but talk too much when I thought of her, and I disturbed you."

"It's okay. It's fun chatting with you." Bianca quickly shook her head. "I haven't really been to space yet. The farthest I've been is to the moon. But... a girl with white hair similar to mine..."

At this moment, the movement of the sensor door attracted their attention. Bianca raised her head, while Huang Quan turned around. They first saw Wang Xuanqiao, and then the petite Silver Wolf beside them.

Silver Wolf noticed the sequence of glances and couldn't help but spit.

"Huh? Bronya?" Bianca was stunned again, but quickly realized, "No, is this Bronya from another world?"

"Her name is Silver Wolf, and she is quite different from the Bronya you know." Wang Xuanqiao introduced her to Bianca.

"Is this your shop?" Silver Wolf began to survey the arcade's layout. "It looks quite ordinary, but surprisingly has a great atmosphere. The graffiti on the wall is nice, I copied it. Do you mind?"

"...The difference is indeed obvious." Bianca recalled Bronya's way of doing things and found that Silver Wolf was just similar, but the difference between the two was very obvious.

"It's perfectly normal to discover isotopes in the universe," Silver Wolf explained to Bianca. "Unfortunate people might even meet their isotopes on the same planet, and then both of them would want to kill each other."

Bianca immediately exclaimed "Ah" and was stunned.

"That has to do with the personalities of the people involved." Huang Quan, seeing that Bianca seemed to be taking it seriously, refuted the rumor, "There's no inevitable conflict between peers. Even if there is friction, it's probably due to personality incompatibility or a clash of ideologies caused by different experiences."

"How come someone actually believed it?" Silver Wolf seemed a little surprised. "As for the incident I was talking about, it's actually because it was filmed and circulated, so it's more well-known. I thought you guys would pick up on it, what a mistake."

Wang Xuanqiao did hear a plot point. After all, a plot involving two isomorphs fighting to the death was a classic plot. He hadn't watched any of the Galaxy anime, though, so he couldn't quite follow the Silver Wolf plot.

"Anyway, let's get the card first." Wang Xuanqiao walked to the counter and woke up the terminal that never turned off next to Bianca.

"Have you ever considered dismantling your counter and replacing it with a shorter one?" Silver Wolf stood in front of the counter, with only his head showing.

"Why tear it down? You're not here to pay for it." Wang Xuanqiao quickly helped Silver Wolf input the information, then raised the camera.

Oops? Not high enough?

Wang Xuanqiao had no choice but to raise the camera high and look down, and took a membership portrait of Silver Wolf with her middle finger raised.

Not bad, very energetic!

When the terminal spit out the Silver Wolf membership card, the system prompt to unlock the game sounded.

——The author has something to say——

As usual, you can guess the games unlocked by members again!

But as for Silver Wolf, to be honest, the things Silver Wolf will unlock are basically obvious, haha.

Anyway, the answer will be revealed in the second update, so you might as well treat it as entertainment while waiting for the update~

Volume 144: : New Demon Hunter, Huang Quan

[Detected that the guest has applied for a membership card, unlocking the game based on the guest's characteristics——]

[Game: "Cyberpunk 2077" has been unlocked, please enjoy the experience. ]

"Cyberpunk? Just hearing the name really gives me an idea of what the game will be like."

When Silver Wolf heard the name of the game she had unlocked, her expression became somewhat ambiguous. Perhaps this game felt like a homecoming to her. Punk Lord, Cyberpunk, perhaps the two actually had a lot in common.

"Forget it. From a customization perspective, it really suits me." Silver Wolf didn't intend to dwell on the issue of unlocking the game. "With this membership card, I can enter and exit the arcade at any time, right?"

She held the membership card between her fingers and asked Wang Xuanqiao.

"Yes. But you have to find a door, preferably a retro one that can be pushed open." Wang Xuanqiao replied.

"Don't you think this condition is actually very troublesome?" Silver Wolf rolled his eyes at him, "How about I carry a fan with me?"

"Not impossible." Wang Xuanqiao laughed. "There have indeed been cases where I couldn't find the door and couldn't get in."

"Well, what a damn sense of ritual." Silver Wolf shrugged, turned around, raised his hand and waved, and walked towards the sensor door. "That's it for this time. Come play again next time. See you later."

She just left without even taking an iced Coke.

Bianca and Huang Quan watched Silver Wolf leave, each with their own thoughts.

"Thank you for helping to look after the shop, Bianca." Wang Xuanqiao turned around and saw that she was still holding the copy of Journey to the West. He couldn't help but smile softly. "If there's nothing urgent, I'll treat you to dinner today."

"Ah? Okay, I'll trouble you, manager." Bianca, still thinking, nodded dazedly. "Then I'll go back to the second floor to read."

"Go ahead, you can also look for something to drink and bring it along."

After greeting Bianca, Wang Xuanqiao turned to Huang Quan. As usual, each of them had a bottle of iced Coke, then they walked into the game area together to log in.

Of course, Huang Quan is the only one who logged in this time. Devil May Cry 5 is indeed not very suitable for multiplayer, unless one player plays Dante, the other plays Vergil, and at most Nero, otherwise it will not be that interesting.

Wang Xuanqiao was also quite curious about what kind of role the system would assign to players in Devil May Cry 5. While sticking directly with the original game and focusing on Nero's perspective was certainly a good idea, Nero was ultimately an independent person, which was actually not good for this high degree of freedom.

Maybe it would be better to substitute Dante? After all, nothing Dante does is surprising.

Huang Quan gently rested the knife on his leg and put on his gaming helmet. Wang Xuanqiao flipped on the screen, and soon the in-game scene appeared—Nero himself, standing amidst the empty ruins.

When Huang Quan opened his eyes from the darkness, he found the man in the blue jacket standing in front of him.

"Hey, newbie!" The man, carrying a large sword, said, "If you want to get involved in the demon hunting business, you must first prove that you have the ability."

He took two steps to the side and kicked a long sword with his toes.

The knife actually flew straight towards Huangquan!

Snapped!

Huang Quan raised his hand, grasped the scabbard firmly, and turned it in his hand so that he could unsheathe the blade at any time.

"Yes, that's quite true." The man smiled. "Next, draw your knife and try to chop this guy with it."

He suddenly swung his sword, striking the broken wall behind him. The already collapsed brick wall seemed to explode, sending bricks and stones flying everywhere. The next second, a shrill roar echoed from within, and a bizarre monster burst out from the damaged wall.

The man immediately took a step back, but jumped directly to a high place, pretending to be a bystander.

Huang Quan glanced at the man, then looked at the monster that was already staring at him, and his fingers holding the scabbard moved slightly.

I miss it so much, it's the feeling of holding a knife...Huang Quan lowered his eyelids and even slowly closed his eyes.

No one but herself knew what Huang Quan was feeling at that moment. It was a long-lost, profoundly fulfilling sense of existence. She didn't even need to imagine; she could instinctively confirm that she was alive.

Moreover, you can feel the sword leaping in its sheath as it is about to show its sharpness!

Nero, standing on a high place, narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly felt a special sharpness from the newcomer in front of him.

It's really rare. Where did this ruthless person come from? Nero thought.

In the ruins of the square, a monster, or perhaps a demon, had already rushed straight towards the closed-eyed underworld. It opened its ant-like jaws, dragged its huge tail, and used all four limbs to slam into the ground, bringing with it a gust of wind.

The wind swept across Huangquan, lifting a tuft of her hair. The demon then pounced, its bloody mouthparts surging, ready to bite its prey.

Huang Quan suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he unsheathed his long sword, and with a long whistle of the blade, the unmatched blade light suddenly tore through everything in front of him!

In that instant, the demon seemed frozen in place. Only when the wind it had created dissipated did its strange body slowly split in two, then explode into a cloud of bloody mist.

F*ck! Did I just call him a newbie? What kind of newbie is this? Nero couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He almost didn't want to go down; his earlier arrogance was truly embarrassing. But then Nero thought about how this woman had taken the initiative to find him and ask to join the hunting business, so he had no choice but to go back.

"Did I pass?" Huang Quan asked in a flat tone when he saw Nero coming down again.

"Ahem. It's over, it's over. Also, you can be more direct next time, otherwise it will easily lead to misunderstandings." Nero coughed lightly to dispel the subtle awkwardness.

"Anyway, welcome aboard."

When Nero stretched out his hand, the scene suddenly changed. In the darkness, a line of unfamiliar words slowly emerged:

It continued to grow day and night, and even produced an apple, bright and beautiful.

The words faded away, and Huang Quan discovered that a man named Nero was walking in front of him, and they were in... a strange place where flesh and blood roots were entangled with each other.

What surprised Huang Quan even more was that Nero's right hand was gone.

"Why should I come here and waste my time? Hasn't someone already taken the job?"

Nero did not change because of losing an arm. His tone was still relaxed, even a little joking.

And in front of him, probably in the core area of this entire strange place, a battle was breaking out.

"Look, there's already a legendary demon hunter there. Now that he's here, there's basically no need for anyone else here." Nero turned around and pointed at the area and explained to Huang Quan.

"Really?" Huang Quan looked around and said, "But he seems to be losing."

"What?" Nero frowned at first, subconsciously turned around to look again, and then gradually opened his eyes wide.

"Fuck! What the hell is going on!" After looking carefully, he finally saw the decline of one side. He spat and ran forward.

"We have to hurry, maybe we can catch up with that guy!"

Hearing this, Huang Quan quickly followed Nero. As the two of them left, V, who was still strolling forward, suddenly became a lonely person. He only had time to see two figures gradually disappearing into the distance, and was speechless for a moment.

"It's a good thing to be motivated." V could only shrug where he was and keep up with the magic he cast.

There were still some demons scattered along the road, all of them strangely ugly and uniform. Nero and Huang Quan easily dispatched these monster-like demons and then sped towards the core area.

And in the core area, just as Huang Quan said - Dante seemed to be losing.

He was once again knocked back by the enemy, his body hitting the ground hard, dragging him for a considerable distance due to inertia. However, his weapon was still in his hand, so he wasn't in such a state of disgrace that he had to abandon his weapons and armor.

When Nero and Huang Quan arrived, this veteran legendary demon hunter was already lying motionless on the ground.

"I just felt like I'd made a wasted trip." Nero looked at Dante's miserable state and couldn't help but click his tongue. "How come you've become like this after not seeing you for a while, Dante?"

Dante, who had stopped moving, raised his hand and gave Nero the middle finger.

"Just lie down and be quiet. Then—" Nero laughed, pulled the sword from his back, and thrust it into the ground. "We'll take care of this bastard thief!"
