However, upon closer inspection, even though it was a model, it was far from simple.
The Extinction Dragon's iconic large horns and wings, its body covered in wrinkled scales and thorns, and its dark purple skin…
Whether it was the overall shape or the intricate details, everything was absolutely faithful to the original.
Crucially, it could also move and roar, its lifelike expressions and movements perfectly showcasing the Extinction Dragon's arrogance, wildness, ferocity, and dominance.
Aside from its slightly smaller size, if one didn't scrutinize it carefully, it was almost identical to the real thing—a miniature Extinction Dragon.
No wonder Ouyang Qing was startled.
Embarrassed, Ouyang Qing's first instinct was to fight Wu Lei, but she was quickly captivated by the Extinction Dragon model and couldn't help but move closer to admire it carefully.
"I say, Ouyang, hurry up and get into the game!"
"Exactly, we've been waiting for you for ages. Are we still fighting this Ancient Dragon or not? What are you doing?"
Oriental Bright and Dugu Mu were in immersive mode, completely unaware of the outside world, until they had waited for quite a while in the game and Ouyang Qing still hadn't returned. Feeling a bit impatient, they took off their virtual reality devices.
The moment they turned their heads.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Several deafening roars greeted them, instantly startling them.
"Holy crap, Extinction, Extinction, Extinction Dragon!"
"Oh no, draw your sword quickly!"
"Huh? Where's my weapon? Why is my weapon gone… Damn it, this isn't in the game, how could there be an Extinction Dragon?"
"Wait a minute, I also feel something's off. Look, this Extinction Dragon seems so small, it doesn't look real!"
The two instinctively jumped up the moment they saw the Extinction Dragon model, wanting to draw their swords and fight, but found they had no swords to draw, almost completely bewildered. Fortunately, they realized their mistake in time.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's just a model. That roar just now really scared me!"
"But this is too realistic, isn't it? Look, it even blinks, opens its mouth, and moves!"
"Hmm, and looking closely, it's quite handsome and imposing. If we bought this and put it at home, it would be great!"
The two also began to observe the huge realistic model before them, gradually developing an interest.
"Brother Wu, where did you buy this model?"
Ouyang Qing grew more and more satisfied with the model, her hunter's heart filled with joy, and she couldn't help but look at Wu Lei. She hadn't noticed before, but now she saw that Wu Lei had changed into an incredibly exquisite and handsome silver-black chest plate that shimmered with a faint glow, and she was stunned.
"When did you buy this chest plate? I've never seen it before, and why does its style look so much like…"
Ouyang Qing didn't recognize the chest plate, but its style felt familiar, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was at the moment.
Wu Lei reminded her, "monster hunter?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ouyang Qing nodded quickly, suddenly enlightened. She knew it felt familiar; it was indeed the equipment style from monster hunter.
At this moment, Wu Lei immediately put on his helmet and gauntlets, transforming into a handsome medieval knight.
Ouyang Qing's eyes widened in astonishment.
Oriental Bright and Dugu Mu also marveled.
"Are there shops in Feiyun City that sell monster hunter-style armor?"
"And is that Extinction Dragon model yours too, Brother Wu?"
"Yeah, where did you buy all these things?"
Wu Lei took off his helmet and blinked, "Guess?"
Ouyang Qing was already green with envy, but seeing Wu Lei's smug look, she pursed her lips in displeasure, "It's just a shoddy imitation anyway. When I go back today, I'll recruit a batch of blacksmiths, and I guarantee they'll be able to forge one too!"
"Imitation?" Wu Lei smiled playfully.
"No, no, that's not right. This material, this craftsmanship, it's definitely not a simple imitation. It would be very difficult to produce something like this on the general market!"
Liu Chengfeng, who had been drawn over by their commotion, also looked at Wu Lei in surprise after a careful examination and critique, "Is this perhaps the craftsmanship of your General Estate?"
"It seems His Highness has good taste, but unfortunately, you've guessed wrong!"
Wu Lei grinned, revealing the answer, "My equipment isn't some imitation; it's the real deal!"
"Not an imitation?
"The real deal?"
"What do you mean?"
For a moment, none of them understood.
"It means my equipment is real monster hunter equipment, bought from the Game Store. You probably don't know, but the Game Store, actually…"
It wasn't until Wu Lei finally told them his recent experience and the true nature of the Game Store without holding anything back.
"…"
Ouyang Qing, Oriental Bright, and Dugu Mu were aghast, and even Liu Chengfeng was momentarily stunned.
They all felt a wave of dizziness.
To be able to exchange items from the game into reality?
This was… simply too incredible!
But the evidence was right before them, leaving no room for doubt.
Moreover, the commotion they were making was not small, and with such a large Extinction Dragon model placed there, it quickly attracted the attention of other players.
Upon inquiring and understanding, and learning the true function of the Game Store, they were all shaken.
In an instant, it caused a huge stir in the Internet Cafe!
"What did you say! Items bought in the Game Store appear in the real world? That's impossible, isn't it?"
"How is it impossible? I heard Lord Wu has already used it twice, and now everyone else is trying it too. If you don't believe it, try it yourself!"
"But I just started playing, and I don't have enough achievement points. I looked, and I can't even afford the cheapest item!"
"Then there's nothing I can do. Gotta go, I'm going to try it too!"
Players had previously thought that items purchased in the Game Store could only be used in the game, so they looked down on most ordinary items, and couldn't afford the rare ones, leading them to save their achievement points and not dare to spend them carelessly.
But now, many couldn't resist. They opened the Game Store and began to select and purchase items.
Because they were testing whether it was true or not, they couldn't afford or bear to spend on expensive items, so most of them still bought some cheap things.
"Boss, I just bought an Extinction Dragon poster, and the system has already told me to claim it from you!"
"Boss, I bought a monster hunter commemorative T-shirt, has it arrived?"
"Boss, I bought a miniature Valstrax doll, but why isn't Valstrax in the game? It looks pretty cool, will it appear later?"
"Mine is the official monster hunter World art book, please hand it to me!"
…
By this time, players had a preliminary understanding of the purchase process, so after buying in the Game Store, they immediately got up and ran to the counter to claim their physical items.
In a flash, Su Ran was surrounded by this sudden large group of players!
