Black Tech Internet Cafe System

There was more than one big screen to watch livestreams in the old shops. Several neighboring sections shared one lounge area and one big livestreaming screen.

In the new shop, Mr. Fang expanded the space to accommodate 20,000 computers in one go. Of course, this consumed a lot of system energy.

Just like the space-folding technology used in the old shops, the shop was divided into ten sections. Since most of the sections were empty, Mr. Fang didn’t open all of them to the public. Right now, only about 2,000 computers were for public use in the new shop.

The shop barely had a full house at the busiest hours.

…

– Meanwhile, in the Yuanyang City Shop –

“Should we report this to our superiors? How come the mystical realms in this forgotten continent look more powerful than ours?!” The two black-cloaked, dignified-looking messengers came from the distant… the legendary place where ancient factions had ‘ascended’ to.

“Let’s check out World of Warcraft first!” The fat messenger said, “If it’s as good as the others, we should inform our faction by passing back a message!”

…

– Noon of the next day –

All the players in the new shop and the old shops, regardless if they had been playing games or waiting to get online, were all gathering at the lounge areas.

In the new shop at Canglan City, someone even paid to have the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection on the White Pigeon Square broadcast the trailer.

“It’s almost time!” Dwarf Elder Sauk glanced at the time and said, “Only ten seconds left.”

At this moment, many people stood before the big screens in the new shop.

“Ten!”

“Nine!”

“Eight!”

“…”

The excellence of Assassin’s Creed and the Legend of Sword and Fairy obviously gave the veteran players in the new shop great confidence in the new game. They all counted down with great anticipation.

“Three!”

“Two!”

“One!”

“It begins! It is beginning!”

“Look!”

Suddenly, sounds came, and images appeared on the big screens.

It was an old map that looked old and had a yellow-tone.

There were two huge continents on the map. In the center was a whirlpool that almost occupied the whole sea area.

“Four years have passed since the mortal races banded together and stood united against the might of the Burning Legion.” A voice introduced the background, and it felt like the curtain before a grand world was slowly lifted. “Though Azeroth was saved, the tenuous pact between the Horde and the Alliance has all but evaporated. The drums of war thunder once again.”

The initial stage of World of Warcraft didn’t begin from the war with the Burning Legion. Despite the previous great war, the game began with the conflicts between the Alliance and the Horde. It was going to start with something simple and slowly lead up to the more important issues.

When the huge map vanished, a dwarf’s face appeared on the top of the snow mountain.

“Oh! How come this guy’s nose is so big?” Obviously, the players in the old shops had never seen such people before.

The camera zoomed out and showed a dwarf with bulging muscles and a long brown beard. Dressed in leather armor, he was holding a firearm that was even taller than himself.

“A dwarf?!” Elder Sauk said loudly, “Oh! I’m sure that he’s one of us! He looks shorter than us but is very strong!”

In the snow storm, a roaring brown bear walked forward with the dwarf one step at a time.

The audience could still see a huge fortress in the distant mountains.

“Is this mystical realm… custom-made for dwarves?” Elder Sauk laughed, “There’re dwarves in it! I must try this mystical realm!”

In the next scene, a night elf who had greyish-blue skin and was wearing exquisite light armor looked around in a forest and then darted off nimbly as if she had sensed that a large group of people was looking at her.

“Is she an elf?!” Elf Girl Sala asked curiously, “How come her skin is greyish-blue?”

“And this elf’s ears are much longer and very pointy!” In the back of the audience, Elina studied the ears of the elves around her and found that none of them had ears as long or as pointy. “How come there is an elf like her.”

The night elf ran nimbly in the forest and then lunged forward, turning into a tiger.

“Oh! Did this elf transform from a tiger?!”

The elves watched the scene with great curiosity.

On a patch of withering land, a decayed, zombie-like foot stepped on this land, seeming to have left flames on the ground. Then, the land with some remnant green plants decayed and turned into a dark deathly grey.

Looking up, the audience saw a face that looked like a skull, and the Infernal behind this figure was blazing with green flames and looked like a small mountain, letting out earth-shaking roars.

“What’s this thing?!” The audience obviously had never seen the undead race.

“Ya! Look!” On the screen, an armored creature with a bullhead and a human body spread out its body slowly.

In the distance, the sun rose into the sky. Looking down from the cliff, they saw a magnificent view of a land dyed in purple by the morning sunlight. The winding rivers and mountains on the land formed a breathtaking view.

“This looks like…”

“This is the orc?!”

“Hahaha! This orc is ugly even for the orc race!”

“Hey! This is a mage!” The sharp-eyed Adolf saw a human mage on the screen. With blazing flames in his hands, he was battling with a huge Infernal. Ice and frost gathered in the mage’s hands, and snowflakes flew in the howling wind.

The mystical realm has all kinds of races?!

But…

This trailer only showed that each race could find their counterparts in the mystical realm, but…

What is special and unique about this mystical realm compared to others?

Was its only advantage over other mystical realms the many races from which they could choose?

Still, many people felt puzzled.

At this moment…

“Come and take a look! There’s an introduction on the game’s official website!” Soon, people found that an official website of the game had appeared in the shop, and they clicked on it immediately.

“World of Warcraft is a nearly complete virtual world in which you can do almost anything you can do in the real world, including touring the continents, exploring the unknown places, and living as one of the races in this world.”

As everyone knew, in the Legend of Sword and Fairy or other games, even though the players could travel 1,000 kilometers in one instant with the sword control technique, they still couldn’t travel around the whole earth. The games had restrictions in this area.

It was the same with Dungeon Fighter Online.

However, in the World of Warcraft, if the players were patient, they could travel all over the planet!

On the map, there were two huge continents on this planet. In other words, this mystical realm was vaster than everyone could have imagined! The area that the game provided for the players to explore was as big as a real planet, a small one at least.

In this game world, there lived some existences far higher than humans.

Meanwhile, the official website announced that the maximum game time for each day was extended by two hours, and the players could ‘borrow game time’ from the next day if they found that ten hours were not enough for one day.

Of course, this policy was only used for special occasions and couldn’t be used every day.

Meanwhile, the business hours of the shop were going to be modified. The operation hours were getting longer.

The information provided by the shop only showed the players an unprecedented game (mystical realm) and different races. As for what they could gain from the game and other unknown stuff, the players must find out themselves.
