Another day passed.
It was late afternoon, nearing evening.
Inside the Internet Cafe, the players of the Farming Team began to log off one after another.
This was true not only for the Farming Team but also for the game teams.
After two or three days of gaming, the players on the game teams, having passed the initial exploration phase, naturally became much more efficient.
Although they needed to stay in the game for a long time, they also knew that the game had a status mechanism; once they played for too long, they would experience game fatigue.
At that point, the efficiency of planting and farming achievement points would only decrease, making it not worth the effort.
At this time, the four members of Li Xiaoyao's group also exited the game for this reason.
"Ugh, I just planted these new crops. If only I could stay one more day, I feel like I could exchange for even more seeds!"
"Alright, don't be too greedy. You can already claim a good amount of money now!"
"That's right, let's take it slow for now. When we expand the farm later, farming achievement points will naturally be faster."
"You're right, let's go then!"
Currently, their group had already chosen a leader, a man in his thirties with somewhat dark skin, named Captain Zeng Niu.
Captain Zeng Niu was originally an experienced farmer, and he was quite adept at the game.
At this moment, Captain Zeng Niu saw that everyone had finished exchanging seeds and was about to leave.
However, he noticed Li Xiaoyao looking curiously towards the other end of the newly opened corridor in the Internet Cafe.
Captain Zeng Niu reminded him, "Xiao Yao, let's go!"
Li Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Niu, you guys go first. I'll watch others play for a bit longer."
Upon hearing this, Captain Zeng Niu and the other two exchanged glances.
They had been together in the game for so many days and understood each other well.
So they knew that unlike them, who only thought about making money, Li Xiaoyao was more interested in computers and games.
"Alright, but remember not to stay too late. We still have to work tomorrow!"
"Yes, I know, Brother Niu!"
With that, the three of them left first.
At this time, Li Xiaoyao eagerly walked through the corridor to the other side, the newly expanded hall of the Internet Cafe.
"Wow!"
"As expected, so many players are playing monster hunter!"
Instantly, he felt it.
The gaming atmosphere here was completely different from theirs.
Although there were also players playing Stardew Valley, there were clearly more players playing monster hunter, and the atmosphere was much more heated.
And this, speaking of it, was also related to these professional farming players.
Originally, many old players switched to playing Stardew Valley simply because they couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
If they wanted to eat it, they had to grow it themselves.
But now, the situation was different.
Because there was a specialized Farming Team.
It was believed that soon, those ingredients would also gradually circulate in Feiyun City.
At that time, they could just buy them with money; there was no need to grow them themselves.
So, old players now thought that having these farming players wasn't entirely a bad thing, but the premise was still that they had machines.
Of course, there were also players who initially played for ingredients but then genuinely fell in love with the game Stardew Valley as they played on.
Liu Chengfeng was probably one of them.
But many people returned to monster hunter, especially those who had already reached the late game and were close to completing it.
Now that they had machines, their condition had mostly recovered, and they had game guides in hand, they felt like they were getting smoother with each fight.
Especially Wu Lei at this moment, who was just one step away from completing the game.
"What did you say, Lord Wu is about to complete the game?"
"Really?"
"It's true, I saw him play all day yesterday, and he's getting more and more skilled. I feel like there's a chance today!"
"Oh no, I just finished fighting the second Ancient Dragon. I feel like I can't catch up!"
"Me too, never mind, let's go and watch first!"
As more and more players gathered behind Wu Lei, the commotion grew louder.
Li Xiaoyao, who was looking around, was also drawn over.
He curiously looked at the screen.
Upon seeing it, he widened his eyes.
In the game, in the final battleground, the Converging Land of the Earth Veins.
Wu Lei was fighting a huge, pale, and semi-transparent monster.
The monster had a pair of black, eerie horns on its head, strong limbs, and magnificent giant wings, and its entire body flowed and glowed with a pale energy torrent.
"Is this the final boss, Minglei Dragon?"
At this moment, even Ouyang Qing, Zhou Yang, and others couldn't help but lean in, staring at the screen with solemn expressions.
Although they were also about to reach this point, they knew their speed was still much slower than Wu Lei's, so they decided to come and watch first.
Wu Lei had actually fought the Minglei Dragon for a whole day yesterday.
Although he couldn't complete the game, he finally became completely familiar with all of its movements and moves.
So, at this time, he was also incredibly skilled at dodging the Minglei Dragon's attacks.
Because the Minglei Dragon's body was tall and large, it wasn't easy to hit its head in close combat, so he mainly attacked its feet and tail.
He would only seize opportunities to attack its head twice.
This continued for a while, and he quickly passed the first phase.
"Roar!"
With an angry dragon roar, the Minglei Dragon became enraged, its chest glowing red, and it entered the second phase.
Suddenly, the Minglei Dragon swung its wings and slammed them towards him.
Although Wu Lei easily dodged, his face changed, and without thinking, he hurriedly ran into the distance.
Sure enough, the next moment, two loud thuds came from the ground, and explosions suddenly erupted all around, creating several huge deep pits.
In this phase, the Minglei Dragon's attacks would have an additional delayed explosion effect.
It was fortunate that Wu Lei had already known this, so he left in time; otherwise, he would probably have been instantly killed.
But the Minglei Dragon's offensive did not stop; after slamming the ground, it suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a beam of light.
Seeing that Wu Lei had just dodged the previous attack and was unstable.
The other players' hearts tightened, feeling that Wu Lei probably couldn't dodge this move.
"What?!"
"He dodged it?!"
However, Wu Lei was seen suddenly dragging his Taichi Sword, turning his body, and using Foresight Slash, actually avoiding the fatal blow again.
Immediately, he swung his sword in a counterattack.
The current Wu Lei was clearly no longer the novice player he once was; his use of the Taichi Sword had become increasingly skilled.
He had even learned the Taichi Sword's moves, and not only learned them, but also skillfully applied them in actual combat.
Coupled with having now completely understood the Minglei Dragon's patterns, the entire battle appeared very fluid.
Watching from behind, the crowd became increasingly excited.
"Holy cow, is he really going to complete the game?!"
"I feel like there's a chance!"
"Look, it's an opportunity!"
With a few exclamations from the players.
In the game, the Minglei Dragon, which had flown into the air, was hit by a Dragon Slaying Stone thrown by Wu Lei's Clutch Claw and fell from the sky.
A sharp glint flashed in Wu Lei's eyes; holding his Taichi Sword, he unleashed several Spirit Blade Slashes, followed by an Iai Slash and then a Helm Breaker, executing a set of sharp Taichi Sword combos.
Sharp sword light continuously flickered!
Then, after the final mournful roar sounded!
The Minglei Dragon crashed to the ground, unmoving.
"…"
For a moment, it was quiet in the game.
And outside the game, it was equally silent.
