The internet cafe was still deserted today. Occasionally, Anbu members would come to buy beginner magic swords, which kept the cafe's cash reserves from looking too bad.
The Chunin Exams were officially starting tomorrow. After the preliminary round, Ge Liang decided to immediately launch a game speedrun event, without waiting until after the Konoha Crush Plan.
There was a month-long gap between the preliminary round and the final battles.
Who knew what would happen in that month? Starting the event early meant making money earlier.
At that time, they would use the game diablo ii.
Since this game could be played online, the competition could be divided into two categories.
Solo group and Online group.
Ge Liang had already decided: the solo group would enter the game on Nightmare difficulty, and the online group would enter on Hell difficulty.
The extremely high difficulty would definitely bring an unprecedented experience to the participating players.
Thinking about his own experience playing on Hell difficulty, Ge Liang couldn't wait to start the event and let these Ninja World rookies also experience that thrilling sensation.
"Welcome."
Just as Ge Liang was imagining the online group being massacred by the monsters in the game, Haku's welcoming voice came from the entrance.
Speaking of Haku, he really deserved praise.
As one of the only two waiters in the internet cafe, Haku did a great job. Even when there were few people in the cafe, Haku didn't use the time to play games; instead, he stood at the door, acting as the cafe's greeter.
Compared to Haku, Zabuza was much more... Zabuza. As soon as he arrived at the internet cafe, he would directly find a computer to play games.
If it weren't to consider Haku's feelings, Ge Liang really wanted to kick this guy out of the internet cafe.
"Boss, open a computer for me."
A hoarse yet slightly magnetic voice came. Ge Liang didn't even lift his head, sitting directly in front of the computer and taking the ten thousand ryo.
"There are many empty computers here, just sit wherever you like. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Haku, the greeter at the door."
"I see... I understand."
The person didn't say much, just casually found a seat.
Not long after this person sat down, The Rookie Three of Team 7, along with the Konohamaru Corps, arrived at the internet cafe.
"Boss, we're here!"
Upon entering the internet cafe, the Konohamaru trio greeted Ge Liang and then each went to find a seat.
"The Chunin Exams are tomorrow, aren't you going to prepare?"
Ge Liang didn't bother with the Konohamaru trio; Hiruzen's one million ryo stored with him still had plenty left, enough for Konohamaru and his friends to play for many days.
He focused his attention on The Rookie Three.
Generally, before such a major exam, parents would give their children crash courses.
Didn't Team 8 and Team 10 not come today?
"We don't have anything to prepare."
Hearing Naruto say that, Ge Liang thought about it, and it made sense.
Naruto and Sasuke, needless to say, were orphans; no one would tutor them.
Sakura wasn't an orphan, but her parents were ordinary people and didn't know what the Chunin Exams entailed, so how could they tutor her?
So, the three decided it was better to come to the internet cafe and play for a day.
"Boss, let me tell you..."
"Uchiha Sasuke?"
Just as Naruto was about to tell Ge Liang what had happened, the man with the hoarse voice suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Sasuke with excitement and saying, "What good luck today, I don't have to go out of my way to find you."
It was then that Ge Liang finally saw the man's appearance.
Pale, delicate skin, long black hair like night, a tall and slender figure, sharp light purple eyes, plus his hoarse voice—even though this person had a feminine appearance, Ge Liang was certain this guy was Orochimaru.
Just as Ge Liang recognized the person's identity, Orochimaru suddenly stretched his neck, baring his fangs, and lunged towards Sasuke to bite him.
Sasuke didn't move.
It wasn't that he couldn't react, but he knew that if there was trouble in the internet cafe, Ge Liang definitely wouldn't ignore it.
"Whoosh~"
Just as Orochimaru was about to bite Sasuke and Ge Liang was preparing to make a move, a figure flashed by, grabbed the long neck, and directly threw Orochimaru out of the internet cafe.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to make a move."
That's right, it was Zabuza who made the move.
"I'm also a member of the internet cafe, don't treat me like I'm just freeloading, okay?"
"Alright, from now on, you're the internet cafe's security guard."
Ge Liang was naturally happy that Zabuza had acted; this way, he could save the money for using his skills.
At this moment, Ge Liang decided not to kick Zabuza out after all.
"Zabuza Momochi? I didn't expect a Hidden Mist Rogue Ninja like you to appear in Konoha. How interesting."
Orochimaru was not injured and did not continue to attack, but looked at Zabuza with interest.
"You know me?"
Zabuza frowned. He didn't know this pervert with the long neck who wanted to bite people.
"Forget it, you don't need to say who you are. I'm not interested in nobodies."
After speaking, Zabuza turned to Ge Liang and asked, "Boss, do you need me to kill him?"
Now, Zabuza felt very comfortable. Since encountering Team 7, he hadn't experienced this kind of show-off thrill for several days.
Now that a minor character suddenly appeared, he definitely had to seize the opportunity.
But... Boss, why are you looking at me with such a strange gaze?
Zabuza was momentarily bewildered.
"If you can kill him, I won't object."
"Alright!"
Why think so much? Since the boss doesn't object, this is my moment to show off, Zabuza.
'Hmm, should I use Water Dragon Jutsu, or just use Taijutsu to kill him?'
'Ah, having too much strength and knowing too many things is also a bother.'
'Forget it, I'll use Ninjutsu. Only Ninjutsu can demonstrate my power!'
Just as Zabuza was about to prepare to form hand signs and make a move, Ge Liang suddenly said casually.
"I forgot to mention, that guy opposite isn't some nobody. He's Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, known as the 'Cold Serpent'."
Holy crap.
Boss, don't you know that taking a long pause can kill people?
Hearing Ge Liang's words and learning the identity of that pervert, Zabuza's hands, which were still forming hand signs, almost cramped up.
The Chakra he had mobilized, having nowhere to be released, was now surging wildly within Zabuza's body.
Fortunately, Zabuza was strong enough; if an ordinary Ninja were hit like that, it would be good if they weren't severely injured.
"Boss, I can't do it anymore. I'm injured, I'm so weak, I need to rest."
Now it was Ge Liang's turn to exclaim, "What the Hell?"
Looking at Zabuza lying on the ground, shamelessly acting 'on the verge of death,' Ge Liang thought he should find an opportunity to get rid of this guy.
No wonder, Zabuza's performance was indeed a bit unbearable.
He was all arrogant and mighty just a moment ago, but after learning the opponent's identity, he immediately changed his face and started acting like a rogue.
This kind of frivolous and shameless behavior, you're not possessed by Wei Xiaobao from watching TV dramas, are you?
