Due to the Enforce Mechanic that was embedded in techniques, each move that was enforced would leave an afterimage behind. On the screen, the launcher drew his guns, used his skills, and switched between different guns and skills under Fang Qi’s control. The launcher moved so fast that it was dazzling, and afterimages appeared on the screen one after another.

“What kinds of plays are these?!”

“How come I don’t remember hearing them in the story that the shop owner told us!”

Many people looked surprised and baffled.

“This… is called the Draw and Attack Style.”

Fang Qi was using the launchers’ standard ‘Draw and Attack Style’ in Dungeon Fighter Online.

This style was nicknamed the ‘Fancy Style’.

One would know why it had obtained such a nickname by watching Mr. Fang’s screen. He switched between all kinds of guns, combat techniques, and grenades so frequently that his moves became a blur to the audience. Before they could see his guns, he had switched to another. It looked as if he were dancing in the gunfire.

On the screen, the target looked like a puppet in this process, going anywhere he wanted. Fang Qi had totally taken control of his opponent.

If this were a show, it was a horrifying show of how he controlled the life and death of his opponent!

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that this style was fancy.

This fighting style of launchers was both complex and simple.

It was complex since the player must be quick and accurate when switching between all kinds of skills.

To move fast, the player must memorize each move and each technique.

To be accurate, the player must control each angle and each detail since they would affect a series of moves later on. Different attacking angles and forces would achieve different results.

Only by moving fast and accurately could the player lead their opponent around. Otherwise, the prey would find a chance to slip from his control.

To use this style, the player must have solid basic training and abilities.

Since there wasn’t the guaranteed protection when the players landed like how it was in the original game, in this virtual reality remake, the opponents might find a chance to fight back in the air.

At last, he used Punisher! While stepping on his opponent, Fang Qi aimed the hand cannon at his opponent’s head and fired!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was one of the signature finishing moves of launchers.

“Ah-!”

With a scream, the word ‘victory’ showed on Mr. Fang’s screen.

Meanwhile, the sounds of a computer getting hit came from one corner.

“Ahhhh…!” Sia almost jumped up from her seat.

“Who’s this guy?! Who’s this ‘Kill One Teammate with One Bullet’!?”

“What’s wrong with you?” Luo Piaoling had just finished one match. He was annoyed by the noises that Sia was making, so he had to look over to see what she was doing.

He saw that the audience behind Sia all looked ashen-faced or had dark expressions.

Meanwhile, the audience behind Mr. Fang was silent.

Even the young disciples of the Qingqiu Family who had just begun playing the game looked dazed while observing from behind, let alone the old and more experienced players.

They had never imagined that that battles could happen this way!

“This shop owner… is indeed a grandmaster and a hermit…” A white-clothed girl who was about 15 years old whispered.

“Even with a character that doesn’t have strong power, he could use such complicated battles skills…” another girl whispered, “When we entered this small world in virtual reality, we lost all our strength and could barely fight. He doesn’t look old; how can he be so powerful…?”

“Don’t talk about others behind their backs!”

The woman with snow-white skin and a frost-like expression was about 20 years old, and she seemed to have a high status among them. “He is a senior with great strength. If you anger him, the Family Master will punish you!”

She said solemnly, “After watching this battle, I think you must all have obtained lots of inspirations. It is rare to have such a great opportunity to learn. Now, you must carefully recall and study Senior’s battling skills.”

“Okay! We’ll try our best to learn Senior’s combat skills!”

“It’s a pity that Senior didn’t use mage… I already chose mage… What should I do?”

“I chose mage too…” They all frowned at this dilemma.

“Maybe we can create another character and choose the same class as the shop owner…”

…

– In one corner of the crowd –

Two figures who had been hiding in the crowd walked out of the shop silently. While they walked, they talked to each other.

“How come this class is so powerful?!” They had both chosen priests which were quite rare in the whole shop.

“This little shop owner could use so many complicated battle skills and defeated an opponent who was much stronger…” the other said, “He’s quite good.”

“Yeah…” The tall figure who was hidden in his cloak said, “The Draw and Attack Style? It is indeed a good battle style. I wonder if we can develop such powerful styles with our subclasses.”

“Today, my mistress character learned another skill. I think the battle style of this subclass of mine can change as well…” While they talked, they walked toward the gates of the city to leave.

When they first came to the city, this hadn’t been their topic of conversation. But now…

They talked all the way from the city center to the city gates.

“Tomorrow, after I finish reinforcing my weapon, I’ll go and fight in the dojo as well! Hmph! I’ll show them my power.”

“Of course!” Suddenly, one of them looked at the sky. The eyes that were as deep as the abyss seemed to have seen through the layers of clouds and looked into the void.

“The central star is dim; there’s not much time left… It’s funny that these people are oblivious to it.”

“Oh right, as for the background of the shop… They had opened the teleportation array again… You and I know about how the legend between the Deserted Sea Realm and Spiritual State came from better than others. Although it wasn’t wise for us to stop them from building the teleportation array, we hide in this place and schemed for so long all because…” The voice suddenly turned weaker as if the speaker were afraid of something, even though they were the only two around.

“Yeah. We must get prepared ahead of time.” After walking out of the gate of Yuanyang City, the figures turned into a puff of black mist and floated into the sky.

At this moment, they finally brought up their missions here.

The sky turned even gloomier.

“Well… It’s about time to investigate the background of this shop.” In a remote corner outside Yuanyang City, the figure hidden in the wide black robe was suddenly enveloped by a cloud of black mist. Instantly, they already arrived at another place. “Today, we got some information, but it’s still not enough. Tomorrow, after I reinforce my weapon, I’ll do a detailed investigation.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll go to the dojo to study the battle skills of the mistress. I’ll go with you when you’re free.”

“…”
