"Bushy Brows, come help me tank, I can't hold on much longer."
"Naruto, hold on, I'll help you after I clear this wave of mobs."
"Don't wait, come now!"
"Ah~ I'm dead!"
The next day, Team Guy and Team 7 arrived at the internet cafe early in the morning and began playing diablo ii as a team.
It wasn't to achieve an exaggerated time, but to cultivate teamwork between the two squads.
However, their tense words revealed it.
Their gaming journey this time didn't seem to be very friendly.
"What kind of Hell difficulty is this? It's too hard!"
After another team wipe, Naruto couldn't help but complain.
"Naruto, calm down. If the game difficulty wasn't hard, wouldn't every participating team be able to clear it?"
"Exactly, the higher the difficulty, the greater our sense of accomplishment after killing corpse explosion!"
"But it's still too hard."
Hearing that Sasuke and Sakura both approved of the difficulty, Naruto felt a bit depressed.
"It's not Naruto's fault, this difficulty is indeed a bit excessive."
At this moment, Kakashi stepped forward and spoke fairly.
Indeed, compared to Normal difficulty, this Hell difficulty directly enhanced all monsters tenfold.
Zombies that only had ten attack and one hundred health on Normal difficulty now had one hundred attack and one thousand health.
This tenfold increase in difficulty meant that even when facing the most ordinary monster, this eight-person team had to consider coordination and positioning.
This made Naruto, who had been effortlessly sweeping through Normal difficulty, somewhat unable to accept it.
Team Guy, on the other hand, hadn't played on Normal difficulty, so they thought the difficulty of diablo ii was always this exaggerated.
"Don't be depressed, let's continue. We must at least see corpse explosion today."
"Okay."
"No problem."
Team 7 had already given up hope of winning the championship; they just wanted to kill corpse explosion in these last two days.
However, given their current progress, killing corpse explosion was indeed difficult.
Compared to the Hell difficulty in multiplayer mode, the Nightmare difficulty in single-player mode was undoubtedly much more friendly.
Nightmare difficulty only enhanced ordinary monsters by two times.
For a single player, it was still easy to kill corpse explosion with some time.
Sure enough, on the first day, someone had already successfully killed corpse explosion, though it took a bit longer.
"The System is really perverted; Hell mode is actually so difficult."
Seeing that most of the customers in the internet cafe who participated in the multiplayer mode competition were being tormented by monsters, Ge Liang couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.
"Boss, this difficulty increase is a bit too exaggerated."
Not long after Naruto complained, someone else started complaining about the difficulty.
Ge Liang looked over. Oh, isn't that Asuma!
"Asuma, let me tell you, even though the monsters are ten times stronger, your number has also increased to eight people."
"If you average it out per person, the monsters are only about one time stronger."
"One time stronger isn't that much, is it?"
"Speaking of which, all eight of you can cooperate when facing a monster, but there's only one monster, so you still have the advantage."
"Don't you think that makes sense?"
Facing Ge Liang's argument, Asuma thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
"Asuma, don't listen to the boss's nonsense."
Just when Ge Liang thought he had fooled them, Kurenai Yuhi, who was nearby, remained rational.
"The boss's logic is flawed. We eight people do have an advantage when facing one monster."
"But who said there's only one monster in the game?"
"As long as the number of monsters exceeds four, we will suffer casualties. If it exceeds six, we can only be wiped out."
"I say, Boss, you're not messing with us, are you? With this difficulty, I don't believe corpse explosion can be killed."
I'm not messing with you, the System is messing with you.
Ge Liang really wanted to tell them that he was also played by the System.
Who the Hell would have thought that Nightmare difficulty only enhanced monsters by two times, but Hell difficulty directly enhanced them by ten times?
He didn't want it this way either.
"This has nothing to do with me; it's the game's built-in difficulty. I can't adjust it."
Seeing that he couldn't fool them, Ge Liang simply acted shamelessly.
Anyway, the game is here, play it or not.
Hmph!
The internet cafe, this magical thing, was unique in the Ninja World. If you wanted to play games and participate in activities, you could only obediently accept your fate.
"Then is it still not too late for us to switch modes and participate in the activity?"
"Don't even think about it, that's impossible."
Actually, whether they could switch depended entirely on Ge Liang's own decision.
The reason he refused Asuma was entirely due to the hassle.
If Asuma and his team switched, wouldn't other people who were being tormented to death also switch?
Switching modes would require refilling forms.
Ge Liang didn't want to make it so troublesome, so he simply didn't let them switch.
Well, they chose the mode themselves, so they have to see it through, even with tears.
"Eh~ why are they here?"
Seeing new customers arrive, Ge Liang shook off Asuma's entanglement and came to the door.
"Welcome to our establishment."
"They... what are they all doing?"
Standing outside the door, a beautiful girl carrying a huge fan asked blankly.
"What else? Playing games, of course!"
"Playing games?"
Alright, seeing the customer's confusion, Ge Liang repeated his almost-vomit-inducing explanation, introducing them to the existence of the internet cafe and the function of playing games.
"There's such a magical place? Gaara, should we go play?"
That's right, the newcomers were the Sand Siblings Trio and their Jonin leader, Baki.
"Gaara, it's better to be cautious."
Baki was very cautious about this internet cafe. He didn't believe that playing games could make one stronger. If becoming stronger was that easy, Konoha would have long dominated the Ninja World.
Moreover, the situation inside the internet cafe was also strange. A group of Konoha Ninja wore helmets, and in front of them was something similar to a computer monitor.
This bizarre scene made it hard not to associate it with memory-stealing devices.
In his opinion, the person in front of him and the Konoha Ninja inside were all acting, just to trick them into entering and then steal their memories.
"It's fine, let's go in and see."
Compared to Baki's caution, Gaara was much more open-minded.
He didn't believe Konoha had any conspiracy, because he saw Uzumaki Naruto shouting loudly outside.
Out of a man's intuition, he felt that Naruto wouldn't harm him.
"Gaara..."
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Seeing that Baki still wanted to say something, Gaara shook his head and directly entered the internet cafe.
