Chapter 145: Boss Fang Wants to Do an Outdoor Livestream

Shen Cang, a tutor from the Earth Division, loved nothing more than visiting the Jinxiang Restaurant on ordinary days, ordering a few light dishes, and listening to the storytelling performances.

For the past few days, they had been recounting something called Diablo, which stirred his curiosity to such an itch that he ran to the restaurant every single day.

"Tutor Bai, over at the Jinxiang Restaurant recently, they've been telling a new story, something called Diablo, and it is truly magnificent!"

"Ah, tell me, this Andariel, just how formidable could she be...?"

"Who knows? It is said to be some kind of demon, immensely powerful!"

"That Blood Raven is truly tragic as well; previously, she was a hero who sealed away the Lord of Destruction..."

"..."

Early in the morning, on the path to the Tutors' Hall, Shen Cang and another tutor surnamed Bai chatted idly as they walked.

Yu Liang, considering whom he could trust enough to tell about the matter, was walking quite slowly, and before he knew it, Shen Cang had caught up from behind, conversing about Diablo as if no one else were around.

Suddenly hearing the discussion beside him, he could not catch it clearly, but several terms commonly used in Diablo were picked up by his ears: "What...? Andariel?!" Such a unique style of name and vocabulary could not be found anywhere else; it was absolutely one of a kind!

"Tutor Bai?! Tutor Shen?! Could it be that you are discussing Diablo?!" Yu Liang felt a sudden jolt.

To speak of Diablo so openly and without regard for others, they were being far too bold!

"Tutor Yu?! You also know of Diablo?" Shen Cang's eyes lit up, not expecting to find another Diablo enthusiast here; this was truly a rare treasure! One had to know that Tianfu Market was too far from here, and those in the academy who traveled such a great distance just to listen were genuinely few!

"So it turns out you both know?!" Yu Liang stood stupefied.

"Indeed!" Since both sides were already well-acquainted, discovering they shared the same passion made Shen Cang exceedingly joyful, and he smiled, saying, "Myself, Tutor Bai, and several other tutors we are close with on regular days, are all enthusiasts of Diablo!"

"To think it would be so...?!" Yu Liang, who had previously felt he was entirely alone, instantly felt as though he had found his organization, and now there was no need to deliberately search for anyone; with a hint of pleasant surprise, he said, "I never imagined that the few of you actually..."

He cast a glance at his surroundings, for after all, a matter like playing games was not something to be loudly proclaimed.

He hurriedly inquired: "Which class do you think is powerful?"

"The Paladin is quite decent, with strong defense, and his attack is not weak either, plus he knows spells!"

"The Sorceress is also powerful, her various spells are truly formidable, and once that Inferno burns, entire fields of monsters vanish!"

"Could it be that the Assassin is not strong?" Yu Liang said displeasedly, "The Assassin's damage is extremely high!"

"Are you speaking of that fellow who only knows how to ambush from behind? The attack is indeed fatal... but it always leaves people feeling far too sinister."

"Tutor Yu, you actually favor the Assassin?"

Soon, the three of them began to chat with some excitement on the path to the Tutors' Hall; for such a new thing, to find like-minded people so quickly was truly rare!

It was just like discovering a wonderful thing yourself, and when you wished to recommend it to a friend, the friend already knew about it long ago, and could even converse with you with burning enthusiasm!

Without realizing it, they had already chatted for quite some time.

Only, Yu Liang constantly felt that something was amiss about discussing Diablo with these two?

For instance, the other party would frequently blurt out certain character names: "Could it be that my time playing the game is too short, and there is still something I haven't encountered?"

"No... Blood Raven can drop equipment?" Shen Cang similarly felt something was wrong.

"Did you two fail to pick it up?" Yu Liang looked at the two of them with a bizarre expression.

"What does Blood Raven dropping equipment have to do with us? Why should we pick it up?" The two looked at each other, "Which version is yours?"

"Which version?" Yu Liang was equally bewildered; the owner had Act I, Act II, and Act III there, could it be that they were speaking of another Act?

"Isn't it just the Rogue Encampment of Act I?"

"That is correct..." Shen Cang had also heard of the Rogue Encampment, "Could you be listening to a pirated version at some other shop?"

"What pirated version?" Yu Liang was amused and angered upon hearing this, "I am not speaking from hearsay, how could there be a pirated version of what I play myself?"

"Play?" The two exchanged a glance.

"Yes, the Origin Internet Club!" Yu Liang said smoothly, "You..."

Watching the eyes of the two suddenly turn incomparably strange, Yu Liang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he pointed at the two of them, trembling as he said: "Could it be that you did not play Diablo at the Origin Internet Club!?"

...

Nalan Mingxue, Song Qingfeng, and the others, under the guidance of their mentors, had already arrived at the capital at this time.

This grand city could be described as the most prosperous and magnificent in the entire Great Jin Empire!

And in truth, it was not merely the Lingyun Academy; at this time, the Xiyi Academy, located in the northwestern direction of the Great Jin Empire, had already arrived and lodged at the Shengjing Academy Quarters.

As the hosts, the Shengjing Academy had already arranged a welcoming banquet within the quarters; this grand gathering could be called unprecedented in scale, for not only did important figures who managed the academy like Qin Bing attend, but even several Vice-Academy Masters who rarely showed their faces on ordinary days participated!

It was even rumored that during the national examination, the reigning Emperor himself would grace the venue with his presence!

...

And at this moment, inside the Origin Internet Club.

"Where is your owner?" Dong Qili, who had finished playing Diablo and logged off, looked strangely around the internet cafe, "Wasn't he still here early this morning?"

"It is already afternoon now," the little girl Jiang Xiaoyue said, "The owner said he went out to play."

"Went out to... play?!" Dong Qili was somewhat stunned; rather than playing such a good game, what was so fun about going outside?

It was not even as interesting as chatting about Diablo! Dong Qili, who had originally wanted to "inquire" a bit about the storyline of Diablo, instantly felt a burst of indignation.

"Xiaoyue!" Ye Xiaoye stretched her body fiercely in her seat, clearly having logged off as well, "Why hasn't the owner started a livestream today, and even ran outside to play?"

"Livestream?" Dong Qili looked curiously at the young girl and asked, "What is a livestream again?"

"It means the owner plays the game, and we watch." Xiao Yulv looked around the vicinity, and finding nothing good to watch, he also leaned in, "According to my observations, in the entire internet cafe, regarding watching games, the most splendid is the one the owner plays!"

Though unwilling to admit it, watching others play really did not hold that much appeal, and he had clearly summarized a set of experiences: "As for watching games, first, watch the owner play; if the owner is not here, watch Master Nalan and the others play; if none are present, then my aunt plays decently enough, and the rest need not be watched, just novice bickering."

"Can watching others play actually be that exciting?!" Dong Qili and Zhang Wanyu beside her were completely stunned.

"Brother Xiao, what are you saying?" An Cheng had also just logged off at this moment, walking over with a dark face, seemingly having overheard something he should not have heard.

"Uh..." Xiao Yulv looked embarrassed, "I left out one just now... this Brother An actually plays quite well too, but unfortunately he has already logged off."

"..."

Just at this moment, several people suddenly discovered that the large screen on the front wall had lit up!

"...Ah, could it be that the owner has returned?!" Ye Xiaoye looked entirely bewildered.

"No... look at the owner, isn't this outside the city?!" An Cheng pointed at the large screen, only to see upon the screen that Fang Qi was currently located in the suburbs of Jiuhua City, right by the moat.

"Owner, what did you run outside the city for?!" An Cheng first let out a cry of surprise, and only then remembered that Fang Qi could not hear him, quickly sending a bullet comment with his communication jade.

Fang Qi had certainly not run outside the city because he had nothing better to do.

Rather, he had received a quest:

Outdoor Livestream: Stream sword-riding flight and the sights along the way

Quest Item: Fully automatic nano-camera

Quest Reward: Pocket-sized ham sausage (can only be additionally purchased after buying instant noodles)

Quest Description: Engage in more outdoor activities, refuse the shut-in lifestyle
