"Something happened?"
"What could have happened?"
Since a while ago, they had been shouting up to the second floor every now and then.
At first, they were more reserved, just shouting normally.
But the longer they waited, the louder their shouts became.
Some even channeled their Martial Qi, unleashing a Martial Skill similar to a lion's roar, capable of shattering bricks and tiles. The force was terrifying and deafening.
Even other residents in the surrounding area were startled, thinking something had happened, and almost went to notify the Security Team.
But inside the Internet Cafe, there was still no movement whatsoever.
If he was still sleeping, that would be too abnormal, wouldn't it?
This seemed to confirm their suspicions: something might have truly happened!
Everyone couldn't help but gather again to discuss.
"Could it be that he went berserk during cultivation?"
"It's also possible he got sick or an old illness recurred!"
"No way, if it's really like that, with no response at all, wouldn't it be very serious?"
"Oh my god, that's terrible then!"
"What should we do now?"
The more they thought about it, the more worried everyone looked, and they started to get anxious.
Suddenly, someone loudly suggested, "How about… we smash the door!"
"Ah? Smash the door?"
"Yes!"
"…"
Everyone was stunned.
After a brief moment of daze, someone hesitated, "This… isn't very good, is it?"
"Yeah, if the boss is fine, do you still want to play games?"
But more people were tempted: "What are you afraid of? We're worried about the boss's safety, not intentionally causing trouble. Even if he knew, he would understand!"
That's right, they were genuinely worried about Su Ran's safety now.
As for the idea of smashing the door to steal the computer, it wasn't that no one had thought of it, but they immediately dismissed the notion.
A heaven-defying divine artifact like the computer was definitely not something ordinary people could possess. Even if Su Ran's strength wasn't strong—no, it should be said precisely because Su Ran's strength wasn't strong, yet he brazenly opened an Internet Cafe—it indicated he had something to rely on. It meant there was very likely a powerful force supporting him from behind.
If something really happened to Su Ran, someone might come to reclaim the computer.
At that time, not only would they not get the computer, but they wouldn't even be able to play games.
So they were genuinely anxious and worried about Su Ran's safety, all praying that nothing bad would happen to him.
Ouyang Qing on the side urged, "If you're going to smash it, hurry up! If something really happened, the sooner, the better for remedy. Who's going?"
The burly Oriental Bright raised his thick arm, intending to step forward.
But then, a middle-aged man with a full beard next to Zhao Tie stepped forward before him. His arm muscles bulged, and he threw a fierce punch.
The Internet Cafe's main door was a glass sliding door with an electronic lock. It didn't look special and seemed like it could be shattered with a single punch.
But when the middle-aged man's fist hit the surface of the glass door…
"…"
Not a single sound was made, and the glass door remained completely intact.
The middle-aged man was stunned, a bit surprised.
As for the others behind him, who were already very anxious at this point, seeing that he couldn't even break such a door, they started to complain.
"I say, Liu Hu, you didn't skip breakfast this morning, did you, so you can't exert any strength?"
"Can you hurry up? We still don't know what's going on with the boss!"
"Exactly, stop dawdling, use some force!"
The middle-aged man named Liu Hu's old face flushed. He also felt that his performance just now was indeed problematic and a bit embarrassing.
The next moment, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at the glass door, as if looking at an enemy. He took a deep breath, and suddenly, a bronze star ring appeared on his wrist.
It seemed he was serious this time. To smash just a door, he was actually going to use Martial Qi. To anyone, it seemed a bit like overkill.
"Mountain Collapse!"
Liu Hu roared, his aura suddenly erupting. He threw a fierce punch, as if carrying the force of a collapsing mountain, and slammed it onto the glass door.
The next moment.
"…"
It was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Let alone a sound, not even the slightest mark was left on the glass surface.
"This door…"
Liu Hu's expression changed drastically, his face filled with horror. He finally realized something was unusual.
If his first punch was just an accident, this second punch, he had even used Martial Qi and Martial Skills. Let alone a glass door, even a steel plate or an iron door should have been punched through.
But he felt that the moment his fist hit the glass door, all the force was completely nullified, as if he had punched air or cotton.
This scene was also witnessed by the others behind him, and they too were a bit confused.
"Couldn't break it even with Martial Qi? How is this possible!"
"It shouldn't be. This door looks like an ordinary glass door, nothing special!"
"It must be that Liu Hu guy messed up. Move aside, I'll give it a try!"
"I'll come too!"
At this moment, the others also refused to believe it. They all stepped forward, tried it themselves, unleashing various flashy techniques, using Martial Qi and their Specialties Martial Skills, and fiercely smashing the glass door.
But the result was that each of them hit nothing.
"What's going on?"
"Damn it, it really didn't work!"
"Punching the door, there's no feedback at all, like hitting air!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"This door is unusual!" Liu Chengfeng, who had been observing carefully for a while, suddenly said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid those whose strength isn't enough won't be able to break it. Let me try, I should be able to do it!"
Among those present, Liu Chengfeng was currently the strongest. Seeing that no one else could do anything about the door, he was just about to step forward and give it a try.
However, just then, a large group of people came rushing into the alley from outside.
"I say, is that Internet Cafe you mentioned up ahead?"
"Yes, hurry up!"
"Sigh, I didn't expect the teacher not to take attendance for today's Martial Skill class. If I had known, I would have skipped class too and come play games earlier!"
"Yeah, I don't know what progress His Highness and the others have made. They must be far ahead of us, right? We have to hurry too!"
"Oh, look, it's His Highness, and why are there so many people at the entrance?"
Looking closely, the people who had arrived were the others who had come to the Internet Cafe yesterday with Wu Lei and Liu Chengfeng. At the same time, there were many new faces with them.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
They were rushing over to play games in a hurry at this moment, but upon arriving at the Internet Cafe entrance, they saw everyone standing there, staring at each other, all looking very anxious, frustrated, and helpless, which made them very confused.
It wasn't until Liu Chengfeng roughly explained the situation to them.
"The Internet Cafe boss might be in trouble?"
"The Internet Cafe door can't be opened?"
"This is not good!"
Those who had visited the Internet Cafe yesterday also showed worried expressions.
"I say, it's not that serious, is it? Is it as exaggerated as you say?"
Only the newcomers today felt that the others' reactions were a bit over the top. Leaving aside whether this so-called Internet Cafe was really that miraculous, how could such an ordinary-looking storefront not even have its door smashed open?
"It's just a small broken door, you guys are too useless, leave it to me!"
Suddenly, a sharp-faced young man stepped forward two steps with a look of disdain. His body trembled, and a star ring appeared on his wrist, gleaming golden and exceptionally dazzling.
This immediately caused many people to exclaim, "A Golden Martial Artist!"
In Feiyun Country, even Silver-level Martial Artists were rare, let alone Golden Martial Artists, who were already considered to have entered the ranks of the strong.
And looking at this young man, he was not old, yet he possessed such strength. He was definitely considered a genius among geniuses, no wonder he was so arrogant.
The sharp-faced young man raised his hand and fiercely punched the glass door.
"Bang!"
This time, the glass door actually emitted a crisp sound when struck.
"What?!"
The crowd behind him was startled. They had smashed the door so many times, and this was the first time they saw the door make a sound when hit.
Is there hope?
The sharp-faced young man's mouth curved slightly upward, feeling very pleased. He couldn't help but urge his Martial Qi to circulate faster, increasing his force by a few points, and punched again, shouting sharply, "Shatter for me!"
However, what no one expected was that, out of the blue, a mechanical voice suddenly came from the glass door: [The door has been attacked multiple times by humans. This is judged as malicious damage. Defense mode activated.]
When the sharp-faced young man's fist fiercely hit the glass door again, it no longer felt like hitting air, but rather like hitting an indestructible wall. Furthermore, it rebounded with an even more powerful energy shock.
"Ah…"
Then came an extremely miserable scream.
The sharp-faced young man was instantly sent flying more than ten meters away, like a projectile, then landed, writhing, twitching, and wailing on the ground in pain. Although he seemed to be out of life-threatening danger, his appearance was utterly wretched.
And the others, at this moment, looked at the young man on the ground, then looked at the glass door, their mouths agape, each looking as if they had seen a ghost.
