"I'm done playing! If I team up with this stupid bear again, I'm going to have a brain hemorrhage!"
In the hall of Origin Internet Cafe, Di Tian yanked off his VR headset and angrily gulped down a mouthful of icy Sprite. Tai Tan had dragged him into failure after failure in Overcooked, and now the sight of onions and tomatoes made him nauseous.
"You think I wanted to be on your team?!" Tai Tan slammed the table without backing down. "You chop vegetables slower than a snail, then blame me for not washing the dishes!"
Seeing the ferocious beast and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast about to start fighting in real life over "who didn't wash the dishes," Lu Yuan helplessly tapped the counter.
"Enough. Since games that test teamwork have left you exhausted, let's try something different today." Lu Yuan operated the main console, and a brand-new game icon appeared on the large Screen.
It was a grass-and-dirt block made up of countless pixelated squares.
"A new game?" Huo Yuhao leaned closer, looking doubtful at the absurdly crude graphics. "Boss, isn't this art style a little too basic? It doesn't even compare to Plants vs. Zombies."
"Graphics aren't everything. This is the art of pixel style." Lu Yuan smiled faintly and pressed Enter on the keyboard. "This game is called Minecraft. There are no mandatory bosses, no forced quests, and not even a concept of beating the game."
"In this world, everything is made of blocks. You only need to do two things: create and survive."
"Create?" Wang Qiuer curled her lip. "Sounds boring. I came here to cut people down, not play with building blocks."
"You can give it a try. Trust me, this is far more addictive than cutting people down." Lu Yuan revealed a mysterious smile.
