Black Tech Internet Cafe System
chapter-409

According to the rules of the cosplay competition, the winner wouldn't just be based on the votes; the characters who were harder to cosplay would receive extra points for the difficulty level.

Mr. Fang had written down the details and the rules on the small blackboard.

"I've made a good plan for it. As for the specifics…" Xiao Yulv waved his folding fan and said proudly, "May I keep them secrets for now?"

"Okay. It seems that you're confident in taking a high ranking in the competition."

"Gongzi Xiao, congratulations!" Mu Donglai cupped his hands. "It has been a long time since I last saw you, and you have become an internet café manager! Would you like to play the King of Fighters with me today? I've been waiting to play one round with you."

While his face twitched, Xiao Yulv said, "This… maybe later!"

…

"It's you, Ms. Yu! I heard that the Diablo 2 Official Novel was written by Ms. Qingqing and edited and published by you, right?" The Royal Princess was obviously very interested in the first official novel. "I read your work and was enthralled! I wonder if you guys have plans to publish an official novel for the other games?"

"Ugh…" Yu Zhiwei said, "You have to bring this question to the boss!"

Beside them, Jiang Xiaoyue patted her forehead as if she had just remembered something. "Right! Official novels!"

She immediately said to Yu Zhiwei, "Sister Yu, I want to buy several sets of the official novel."

"Why? Xiaoyue, didn't I give you a hard-cover set as a gift?" Yu Zhiwei asked curiously.

"The boss said that I would make many new friends in the Heavenly Academy, and he told me that we could give each other gifts to bond better!" Jiang Xiaoyue popped out her chest and stood taller. "If I don't show them the book, how would they know what level of power that Lord of Terror Diablo has?"

Mr. Fang stroked his chin and said, "I think that's what little kids do nowadays, right?"

…

The new year party was held on the second day after the two shops changed into their new looks.

Despite its warmer climate, Jiuhua City had the last snowfall of the year today.

As a southern city, its snow wasn't as heavy as that in Half City. However, the flurry of snowflakes added to the holiday atmosphere in the shop.

For most of the cultivators and warriors with high cultivation strength, they didn't celebrate the coming of a new year. Even for their birthdays, they only celebrated them once every ten years. Oblivious to the passage of time, the cultivators usually spent all their time on hard cultivation despite the extreme weather.

However, this new year was different from before.

Outside the Jiuhua City Shop, a young man wearing brown uniform over a white T-shirt walked out of Lingyun Academy; there was the image of a burning sun printed on the back of the uniform.

"Look! It's Kyo Kusanagi!" The moment that he appeared, some disciples of Lingyun Academy instantly exclaimed.

The passersby were even more astonished.

"My Goodness! It's Iori Yagami!" Walking beside Kyo Kusanagi with his hands in pockets, a red-haired young man saw the glances from the passersby. Instead of being timid by the gazes, he laughed hysterically without caring.

"Young Master Song! We're indeed more talented! We didn't get into top 3 in the Diablo individual competition, but we'll take all the top 3 places this time!" Walking with Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami was a young man wearing a golden broom-like hairstyle, black boots, a pair of jeans, and a black vest.

Then, he punched out and copied Benimaru Nikaido's tone while shouting, "Pumpkin Punch!"

The baffled passersby who didn't know anything wondered, How come these people's hair colors are all over the place?

"No idea… They look quite bad-*ss…"

"Is it another trend of Lingyun Academy?" They remembered that the zombie outfit was once popular in the academy, and the students walked on the streets as a large group of zombies.

"Hey! Hey! Young Master Lin! Young Master Song! Look over there!"

They saw a tall and thin demon with ram horns strolling on the street.

"Mephisto?!"

Beside Mephisto was a woman with spiked red hair and sharp claws on her back.

The passersby all backed away from them.

"F*cK!? Andariel?!"

When they arrived at the door of Jiuhua City Shop, their eyes almost popped out.

In front of the shop, Wesker and Jill were talking animatedly; Ling and the Baiyue Clan Master laughed together; the Ghost King Faction Master and Daoxuan Daoist were in a deep talk.

Inside the shop, the scene was even more shocking. An alien from Grand Theft Auto 5 sat on the couch in the lounge area with a bowl of instant noodles; beside it sat Michael in a formal suit.

"Ouyang Family Master?!" Song Qingfeng froze when he saw the Michael who was even fatter than the original robust character.

Then, he looked back and saw another Mephisto walking in!

He was followed by a Baal!

Shortly, another Mephisto walked in!

The two Mephisto looked at each other and then each bought a bowl of instant noodles before sitting on the couch to enjoy the food.

"F*ck!" Song Qingfeng and the others were so stunned that their eyeballs almost popped out.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the street outside the Half City Shop; frost even condensed on the shop's glass door.

The shop wasn't open yet, and a group of people was waiting outside the door.

The people standing at the outmost of the group wore black robes and called themselves disciples of the Ghost King Faction.

"Boss Black Demon, how come the shop is not open yet?" A scholarly-looking man who wore a pale green robe asked.

"Lord Jin, should we shout and see if the owner is awake?" A cultivator wearing the black disciple robe of the Ghost King Faction from Jade Dynasty walked over.

The white-robed scholar's face twitched, and he said, "Call me Green Dragon!"

Black Demon said solemnly. "Call me Ghost King Faction Master!"

The moment he said it, a green figure landed from the sky while yelling in anger, "Where's the Ghost King Faction Master?!"

"Pu!" Seeing the newcomer, Black Demon almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately, he put a piece of black gauze around him. "There's no… no Ghost King! I'm Mr. Ghost!"

With long black hair fluttering in the wind and a green dress flapping in the snow, the newcomer looked like a lively green butterfly; her charming face looked noble and cold.

The others almost thought that Biyao had resurrected.

[TL Note: In Jade Dynasty, the Ghost King Faction Master is Biyao's father.]

"Ms. Ning… Ning Bi…"

"Call me Ms. Biyao!"

"…"

"Hohoho! Hahaha!" A white figure landed from the sky. With a white cloak, white hair, and long eyebrows, the Reincarnation King who had been sent flying by that big demon came back as the White Brow Spiritual Master.

Then, a wave of dazzling sword light came down from the sky.

The Water Moon Master, Lu Xueqi, Elder Senior Sister Wen Min, Wan Jianyi, and the others all landed one by one.

Duan Yue walked over. "Xichi Spiritual Master? Good to see you!"

"I'm Water Moon Master! Did you mistake me as someone else?!"

Duan Yue: "…"

Meanwhile, wearing crude cotton clothes, Mr. Fang walked down with an Erhu in his arms.

He glanced around and saw three beauties at the counter, two big and one small. They were white-clothed nine-tailed demon fox Little White, loli version of Zhao Ling'er, and… You Ji who was wearing a gauze veil.

Mr. Fang frowned. "Where's the other shop clerk? How come he's late on his first day of work?!"
