Chapter 1297: Chapter 1295: All Kinds of Divine Skill Hacks
In the Flame Cloud Sage Cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all appeared simultaneously, each having their own computer.
These days, they’ve been gaming individually, and staying home playing games has brought them some enjoyment, contrasting their previously dull lives.
"Fuxi, aren’t you logging in? Recently, it’s become much easier to find opponents in games! I guess Jiang Liu has opened his internet cafe!" Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor spoke, addressing Fuxi.
"You guys play first, I’ll wait a bit..." However, upon hearing Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor’s words, Fuxi shook his head and replied.
"Don’t call him; his luck’s been terrible lately!" Nearby, Suiren remarked to Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor.
"Terrible luck? What do you mean?" Hearing this, Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor paused, looking at Suiren.
"As I know, he seems to have lost thirteen times consecutively!" Upon hearing this, Suiren shook his head and replied.
"Really? Lost thirteen times in a row!?" Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor widened his eyes in shock.
Is it really possible for someone’s skill and luck to be that bad?
Winning in games is naturally a reason to be happy, but if you lose, the mood isn’t quite as cheerful — especially when losing thirteen times consecutively.
This kind of situation can really lead someone to shut themselves off.
"Then we’ll play ourselves first; you should take a break!" Understanding Fuxi’s situation, the Yellow Emperor had no choice but to say this and then shifted his focus to his own computer.
"Sigh, though game skills are important, luck is equally crucial! With the internet cafe opening, it has brought many newbie players into the games?"
Fuxi indeed felt very downcast, lying there in distress, murmuring to himself quietly.
Even though many newbie players entered the game, similarly, there’s a possibility on the opposing side too, so logically the chances should be equal. Why then has he lost as many as thirteen games consecutively?
"No way, it seems to win, I need to devise some strategy; now I understand that playing well is not as crucial as matchmaking well!"
Though feeling somewhat dejected, giving up on the game directly was something he couldn’t bring himself to do; finally, a thought crossed Fuxi’s mind, and he took out the turtle shell used for divination.
Placing a few ancient copper coins inside the turtle shell, Fuxi appeared serious, activating his innate divination ability, gently shaking the shell a few times with his hand.
Immediately, he poured the coins out from the shell.
Looking at the divined hexagram, after analyzing it for a moment, Fuxi sighed inwardly.
It seems his luck is genuinely bad now, as the hexagram indicates that if he starts matchmaking now, it would lead to another loss.
Given this, naturally, Fuxi had no intention of entering the game, choosing to patiently wait while constantly utilizing innate divination for further calculations.
Until the hexagram indicated that he could secure a victory in the next match, only then did Fuxi plan to enter the game.
By using the ability of innate divination to forecast his upcoming games’ outcomes, although Fuxi’s method wasn’t considered cheating, it was still seen as a tough-to-prevent "cheat" tactic.
Indeed, once he had the innate divination ability for forecasting, each time Fuxi entered the game only when the hexagram predicted a victory.
For a time, originally having lost thirteen times consecutively, Fuxi’s win rate soared dramatically; within just a few days, he had won over twenty games consecutively.
"Hahaha, this game is really awesome!" After winning more than twenty games consecutively, Fuxi truly experienced the joy of having a "cheat," causing him to laugh heartily.
In fact, facing a scenario of consecutive losses in games, not only did Fuxi, without guidance, cleverly think of leveraging his abilities to apply "cheats," but many others similarly thought of this.
Following this, they all used supernatural powers to maintain their win rates.
For instance, Third Prince Nezha deployed his three-headed, six-armed supernatural ability, his three heads watching the screen, truly possessing the capability to observe in all directions and hear all sounds.
As a jungler, he was often able to provide very timely support at critical moments.
Moreover, with three heads watching, plus the ability to use six arms, his movement and skill execution speed reached peak levels, marking his personal operational ability among the top.
On another side, the Supreme Elder Lord, after losing several matches consecutively, also intuitively thought about the issue of matchmaking luck.
Then, raising a hand, he took out the Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a post-heaven Supreme Treasure of Merit, placing it beside his computer desk, utilizing its Power of Merit to stabilize his destiny.
Overall, once the games began, these immortals and Buddhas, even demons, really showed off their supernatural powers to maintain their win rates.
These methods are dazzling and astonishing.
Watching the Supreme Elder Lord’s techniques, using the powerful Merit Supreme Treasure to suppress destiny, Li Shimin imitated and took out his own Kongdong Seal.
"This isn’t just playing games! It’s completely a contest of each other’s skills!" Jiang Liu watched as the big shots in the internet cafe each demonstrated their supernatural powers, and he couldn’t help but complain inwardly, laughing and crying.
Originally, for the fairness of the game, external devices should be completely banned, but these external devices of their own supernatural means truly leave no proper way to stop them.
For example, Nezha’s three heads and six arms, it’s his own ability, right? You can’t regulate that people can’t use their three heads and six arms in the game, can you?
Furthermore, with the Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, you can’t stipulate that people can’t place personal items on the computer desk during the game, right?
Regardless of Jiang Liu’s thoughts or how the immortals and Buddhas used their supernatural powers, as the Human King, Li Shimin didn’t have much time to indulge in the game. So, after winning a few rounds, he stood up, bid farewell to Jiang Liu, and left.
However, before leaving, Li Shimin understood the charm of this game and announced, urging everyone to practice well, and in half a year’s time, he would host another large-scale e-sports competition, and he would provide generous rewards.
Having just completed the Mahjong Saint competition and the Great Tang Cup, upon hearing Li Shimin’s words, the emotions of everyone in the internet cafe were ignited.
"Your Majesty, are you going back?" Outside the internet cafe, Jiang Liu stood in front of Li Shimin and asked.
"As the Clan Leader of the Human Clan and the Emperor of the Great Tang, I have many matters to handle and cannot spend time idling here!" Li Shimin said upon hearing this.
From a personal perspective, if he weren’t the Human King or the Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shimin would indeed like to indulge and play for several days non-stop in this internet cafe.
Jiang Liu naturally understood that Li Shimin’s choice was correct and nodded, without saying more.
"Overall, the situation in this internet cafe is better than I expected!" Changing the topic, Li Shimin said.
"Indeed, the situation is within expectations!" Jiang Liu nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
For Jiang Liu, everything was expected, but for Li Shimin, he was amazed.
Originally, when Jiang Liu proposed this internet cafe concept, Li Shimin was actually uncertain, a new game more fun than Mahjong? Could it really exist?
But now, it turns out Jiang Liu was right.
Indeed, over the years, the games Legends of the Three Kingdoms and Mahjong have swept the world, these two games were also proposed by Jiang Liu.
Now, he has created a new game, surpassing Mahjong and Legends of the Three Kingdoms.
It seems, in the realm of entertainment, the only one who can outdo Jiang Liu is himself!
After chatting for a bit, Li Shimin turned and left the internet cafe.
And Jiang Liu thought about it and realized it was also time for him to leave.
Organizing this internet cafe was to make the re-establishment of the Human Emperor easier, but now his focus should still be on improving his cultivation.
The Journey to the West for Scriptures has reached this point, and the day of the final battle is indeed getting closer, so he doesn’t have much time to spend here.
Since the internet cafe has already been opened, and the development is as he expected, Jiang Liu no longer needs to do anything.
He just needs to wait until there’s more time later to add more computers and speed up the mingling between immortals, Buddhas, and residents of Chang’an City.
After saying goodbye to Gaoyang and taking one last look at the bustling scene inside the internet cafe, Jiang Liu smiled secretly, moved, and left Chang’an City, heading towards the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team.
"Master, I heard that internet cafe is a lot of fun..." After Jiang Liu returned, Zhu Bajie looked at him with sparkling eyes, staring intently at Jiang Liu.
"Indeed, it’s quite fun!" Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.
"Master, can we go and take a look? Master, you wouldn’t believe it..."
At this point, Zhu Bajie looked terribly wronged, and mournfully said, "Originally, Old Pig heard about the opening of the internet cafe and wanted to find Master and see if I could be of help. But Monkey Brother insisted on not letting me go!"
"You blockhead, at a time like this, you’re still thinking about playing?" Sun Wukong heard Zhu Bajie’s complaint and, unceremoniously, with a bit of iron that can’t be molded into steel expression, grabbed Zhu Bajie’s big ear and scolded.
After scolding Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong then looked at Jiang Liu and said, "Master, I think we’ve been a bit lax recently, the day to reach Thunder Monastery is approaching, and we should focus on our cultivation!"
"Hmm, what Wukong said makes sense!"
