There weren't many people at the internet cafe past 9 o'clock, after all, the largest consumer group in the surrounding area is the two universities. The paid internet connection at the school isn't fast enough, but it's not a big issue to barely play some small games. The middle of the week is the busiest few days of the entire week, so most of the people who originally came to the internet cafe to enjoy themselves chose to make do in their dormitories.

Only people like Qiyang and Qinyu, who adhere to the principle of not playing games with less than 8GB, go to the internet cafe every day.

After finding his exclusive seat, Qin Yu sat down and opened his computer. He collapsed onto the chair and began tapping on his phone with both hands.

Instead, Qi Yang widened his eyes and observed his surroundings, looking to see if he could spot the tall boy. Originally, it was already embarrassing enough that he hadn't shown gratitude for the food the other had given him and instead lied to him. If he were to encounter him face-to-face at the internet cafe, wouldn't it be even more awkward...?

His eyes scanned the area, but he didn't spot Wei Ying's figure. Qi Yang finally relaxed and skillfully opened the interface to log into the gaming world, his hand gripping the mouse.

"Hey, Qiqi. How about we give that Magic Prison a try?"

"Why try that thing?" Qiyang casually replied. He opened his slender fingers, preparing to type the account password on the keyboard, but was stopped by a claw that reached over from the side.

"Accompany me...," Qin Yu clenched his teeth, pronouncing each word with distinct pauses. His whole body gradually drew closer to Qi Yang, positioning his lips next to his ear and slowly opening them. "After playing with me, you won't be so gay anymore. What do you think? My buddy?"

"Guarantee?" Qiyang raised an eyebrow skeptically, his face filled with doubt.

"Promise." Qin Yu nodded vigorously three times.

"After playing for a while, if you act gay again, I'll cancel your accommodation." Coldly leaving these words behind, Qi Yang closed the eagerly anticipated XX Alliance game on the computer screen and reluctantly opened a shortcut with a brown-black magic hat icon in the corner - "Magic Prison."

Qi Yang personally doesn't like playing RPG games. Role-playing games are generally played more by girls. The gameplay is also very simple, either completing missions, going through dungeons in a group, or engaging in real-time PvP battles. The main enjoyment of these games lies in making friends and playing together to progress — or to put it more directly, it's a platform for online flirting.

As for Qiyang, a kind of guy who doesn't care much about women in real life, the girls online are like paper dolls to him! Especially those who rely on their lolita persona and demand your company, not to mention any impure thoughts, he doesn't even have the desire to observe from a distance...

After a few strings of English characters flashed across the screen, the background music of the game rang through the headphones. Qi Yang was glad that he hadn't put on the headphones. Even from a distance, he could hear the booming and grand background music. If it had been right next to his ears, it might have shattered his eardrums.

The visuals are done quite well. The registration interface is a three-dimensional, intricately cut dark palace that extends inward from the computer screen. The torches on the walls flicker along with the sound of music, even the shadows are made perfectly.

Qi Yang quickly registered an account by entering his mobile phone number. He directly clicked on the button to create a new character.

First step, as expected, create a character.

You can choose the gender, appearance, figure, hairstyle, and age. Each category also has many subgroups. For example, under the appearance category, there are further divisions for eye shape, eyebrow shape, nose bridge, lip shape, and so on.

Qi Yang chose "male" and flipped through several pre-set standard configurations to find one that looked most like a human. (Pre-set means that the "face" had already been designed and did not require personal customization.) Then, he added two slender and beautiful legs and estimated a frighteningly tall figure before clicking on the next step.

The second step is to choose a profession.

This game has three major categories once you enter.

Tank (frontline, responsible for taking damage, attracting enemy's hatred).

Mage.

Physical DPS. (A character that consistently deals high physical damage output.)

Qiyang has been torn for a long time here. After all, this profession is too scattered. It would be better if it were more meticulous! As a serious man, Qiyang still quite enjoys playing tank professions that embody his masculinity. However, after playing so many games, Qiyang's best performances were with assassin and warrior types, which belong to the DPS profession.

After five minutes of hesitation, Qi Yang still chose "Physical DPS".

Clicked on and the progress bar turned for a while, then a few big characters popped up on the screen.

The third step is to choose a profession.

Hmm? Didn't we just make a decision earlier?

Qi Yang focused and took a look. The gaming spirit, which had almost been extinguished due to the perplexing condition, ignited once again.

Specialized Professions: Dark Night Assassin, Bright Night Assassin, Dark Night Knight, Bright Night Knight, Dark Night Priest, Bright Night Priest, Abyssal Archer, Green Forest Archer, Giant Axe Warrior, Silver Spear Warrior.

This is pretty much it!

Suddenly getting interested, Qi Yang leaned in front of the computer, without even reading the introduction to the skills, he directly chose the Night Assassin.

After going through a long process of personal customization, the game finally entered the black screen loading mode. Qi Yang turned his head to see how far Qin Yu had progressed, and almost vomited blood after realizing.

This scumbag is still fooling around! He even fooled around with a girl! Let's take a closer look... It seems like she's still an underage little girl, with big round eyes and a round face. She even tied her hair in double ponytails. She's so adorable, beyond words.

But thinking about it, this is a person fabricated by a newly single gentleman. Somehow, it feels like my whole body is covered in goosebumps and they're all falling down...
