The next day was Sunday.
Everything returned to normal, and it seemed that nothing had an impact on the small shop.
When Fang Qi opened the door in the morning, he received another task.
Fang Qi yawned. “You keep giving me tasks! Are you not concerned that I’ll die of fatigue? I haven’t completed the previous task yet!”
The System was silent.
Fang Qi opened the System Interface and glanced at it.
[Internet Cafe Competition]
Huh? What is this? Fang Qi wondered.

Seeing this task, Fang Qi knew that he would be busy for a while.
Sitting with Jiang Xiaoyue at the counter, Fang Qi made a bowl of instant noodles and added a sausage. While he enjoyed it, Jiang Xiaoyue ate buns and glared at him in jealousy.
Today, Fang Qi put up two small blackboards. One was for the shop rules while the other was about the competition. The most eye-catching one was the Internet Cafe Competition.
Fang Qi underlined the key points with colored chalk.
Therefore, many people noticed it upon entering the shop.
“Ugh? Internet Cafe Competition?” Xu Zixin just arrived. “Sir, what’s that?”
Fang Qi knocked on the black board. “Everything’s on here.”
“Ugh...” Xu Zixin read them carefully and said, “The awards are items?! Real items?!”
“What competition? Real items?” Su Tianji strode into the shop with her two disciples.
“Look here...” Xu Zixin pointed at the small blackboard and said in amazement, “The shop owner is holding an Internet Cafe Competition, and the awards are real items in the games!”
“What?! Competition?” Su Tianji was astonished since she knew how special the items in the games were.
“Diablo 2?!” Su Tianji was full of regrets. “I haven’t played it!”
Then, she saw Counter Strike!
“The award for the first place is a sniper rifle?!” Su Tianji’s eyes lit up. “The first place of Counter Strike Competition is mine!”
Fang Qi laughed after hearing her words. “You’re a bit too confident.”
Su Tianji looked at Fang Qi murderously and said, “Will you enter the competition as well?”
“I won’t.” Fang Qi pointed at the small black board. “Didn’t you see that it’s a team competition?”
“How can you do that?!” Su Tianji said, “Don’t you have individual competitions?”
Fang Qi said, “I don’t know about the future, but this time, it’s no!”
“Besides, each player can only register for one competition.” Fang Qi continued after thinking for a bit. “You must consider which competition you want to enter carefully since you can’t enter both.”
Su Tianji looked gloomy. “Why does Diablo have individual competitions?”
Fang Qi simply replied, “I didn’t make the rules.”
Su Tianji swallowed her complaint since she couldn’t question ‘that senior’.
At this moment, people like Xue Daolv and An Huwei also came into the shop.
Seeing the group at the counter, they were baffled and then surprised when they heard about the competition.
“Competition?!”
They played games purely for fun and the increase of cultivation strength; they had never imagined that there would be a competition!
This was fun!
“How do I register for the competition?” Xue Daolv had always wanted weapons such as the sniper rifles and pistols.
If he could have a sniper rifle with array formations engraved on it, it would definitely be a killing machine.
Although the other two guns were not as powerful as the sniper rifle, the creation processes were similar, and it would be a good opportunity to study it if he could get his hands on one of them.
“A Unique Item?” Li Haoran exclaimed, “It means that we can study the different artifact-making methods of Diablo?!”
“Something like that.” Fang Qi corrected him. “It should be called crafting.”
The top-level item that a player could get from this competition was an Unique Item, which meant that the items with runewords couldn’t be obtained.
Fang Qi had to rely on his own task to get the items with runewords.
It was the reward for him as the organizer of this Internet Cafe Competition.
“I’ll enter the Diablo Competition!” An Cheng made the decision immediately since his sorcerer character was among the top ranks in the internet cafe!
They had never imagined that they could win real items through a competition!
“I’ll enter the competition too!” Su Tianji said immediately, “I’ll enter the Counter Strike team competition.”
“Where’s your team?” Fang Qi rolled his eyes since she tried to enter the team competition all by herself.
“Eh...” Su Tianji paused for a few seconds before dashing away. “Then, I’ll get people right now!”
Standing by her side, Xue Daolv was furious. “Am I not good enough?!”
While Fang Qi was busy with organizing the competition, a well-dressed and thin middle-aged cultivator brought a young man who was wearing a white robe with a golden trim to the door of the internet cafe.
This well-dressed and thin middle age cultivator was Huo Chong!
“If your information is right, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance gave up the opportunity of entering the Cultivation Realm Conference because of this shop! This shop has poisoned the whole Jiangnan Region, and now even the Wuwei Daoist Alliance is in its control!” Huo Chong said.
