"An eagle claw for a rat tooth? That's not a reasonable deal! "
Another member of the Quest Society recognized the coin floating in the air as the most useless rat tooth coin.
No one would pick it up even if it was thrown into the trash.
"First of all, it's called a victory coin. It's much more useful than the rat tooth. Second, if you don't want to buy it, you can leave. I won't stop you."
Josh used the orange cat's tail to point at the exit. Ever since the Sewing Gang's Arcade Game Hall opened for business,
Although Marceau was the owner of the arcade in name, Josiah was still the one in charge in secret.
There was a good thing about this city. You could do whatever you wanted with your fists. This Orange Cat's little claws had beaten up countless strong men from the Sewing Gang.
"You … give that guy to me …"
"An eagle claw. I'll pay."
Another member of the Quest Society stopped that impulsive fellow. He had done this the moment the [Inscription] appeared on the orange cat's body.
He took out an eagle claw coin and placed it on the table. At the same time, he took another coin floating in the air.
"What's your name?"
Orange Cat sat on the arcade machine that Heiwei was playing, watching the member of the Quest Society sitting in front of the machine with the coin in his hand.
"Linrong."
The member of the Quest Society said his name in a deep voice. His voice sounded a little different from a human's.
He observed Josiah with his pupils hidden under the shadow of his top hat. Josiah could hear an emotion called respect in his voice.
This respect probably came from the magic that Orange Cat had cast.
There were quite a lot of spells in this world that could attach their own consciousness to animals.
"You can't escape."
The member named Linrong knew the rules. He sat down next to Heiwei, but his attitude towards Heiwei was not as kind.
A cold aura seeped out of his voice, like the spitting of a poisonous snake.
As soon as he said this, he was put in a difficult position.
It was the first time the member of the Quest Society had come into contact with such a magical machine. He had no idea how to use the coin in his hand.
"Put it in." Josiah pointed at the coin slot with the Orange Cat's tail again.
Linrong examined the coin in his hand, which contained a magical aura, and threw it into the slot of the arcade machine.
"Press this button and take your seat." Josiah gave the member of the Quest Society another tutorial.
Linrong did as he was told. He pressed the button and the projected image on the arcade machine changed from the battle scene to the selection scene.
It might be an illusion … Josiah really heard a snake-like sound coming from Linrong's body at this moment.
Linrong sat beside Heiwei. At this moment, Heiwei was like a mouse being stared at by a snake.
"You … you don't even know how to select people and you want to beat me!"
Heiwei subconsciously moved to the left as he said this. Josiah noticed that his hand had started to tremble.
It seemed like Heiwei was really afraid of the Quest Society.
Linrong imitated Heiwei's actions. He held the joystick with his gloved hands and placed them on the buttons.
The Power of Faith seeped out of the joystick and entered his body through his glove.
The moment the Scale Ring felt the power of faith, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. The next second, he slowly placed his hand on the joystick, and the hissing sound became clearer.
"Could this guy be the legendary lizardman?"
Hiri's voice came from Orange Cat, but Linrong's attention was focused on the unique senses brought by the Power of Faith and the scene in front of him.
Therefore, he didn't notice Hiri's whisper in Josiah's ear.
"Strange power." Linrong muttered to himself. While he was feeling the Power of Faith, the selection time had come to an end.
Therefore, as the second player, he automatically chose the first team of King of Fighters 97, which was Kyo Kusanagi, Daemon, and Hongmaru.
"What happened?"
When Linrong recovered from the pleasure brought by the Power of Faith, the time to arrange the order of the characters had already passed. He directly entered the battle scene.
Kuroto only noticed that something was wrong when Kyo Kusanagi, who was controlling his character, Black Tail, to beat him up.
"This is your character's HP. If it reaches zero, your character will be declared defeated." Orange Cat used his tail to point at Linrong's character's HP on the screen.
Linrong looked at the rapidly decreasing HP and instantly realized that something was wrong. He looked at Heiwei on his left again.
Heiwei was frantically pressing the buttons next to the joystick. By the time Linrong imitated Heiwei, it was already too late for his character to counterattack.
Kyo Kusanagi didn't even have time to use one move before he was directly killed by Mary's throw.
When Kyo Kusanagi fell to the ground and the word KO appeared on the screen, even the stupidest person would realize that he had lost.
"How dare you use such a sinister trick!"
Linrong, who didn't understand what had happened, thought that Heiwei had used such a despicable trick before the battle.
"It's your own stupidity that killed you!"
When Blacktail heard the Scale Ring's angry voice, he felt a sense of joy as if he was torturing a noob. In the past, he had always been chased by the Quest Society.
Today, this guy was sitting next to him, but he didn't dare to do anything to him. Instead, he had to be tortured by him in the game.
Heiwei thought that this thing was much more powerful than the Happy Mixture.
Linrong didn't take Heiwei's provocation. He pulled himself together and found a way to control his character.
But this member of the Quest Society was … a newbie who had never played an arcade game before. He probably didn't even know the difference between a heavy punch and a light punch.
Facing this newbie who had only been born a few days ago, Heiwei used a despicable method.
That was, a light kick followed by a heavy kick.
This method was only useful against newbies who hadn't played the King of Fighters series, and it had a miraculous effect.
Although Scale Ring had figured out that pushing the joystick back could create a defensive effect, when Black Tail controlled Mary to crouch down and kick him, he was immediately forced to the edge of the board. Since he did not know how to crouch down to defend himself, he was immediately beaten up by Mary.
Before Linrong could figure out how to play his door, Mary forced him to the corner and kicked him to death.
"Why!"
Yet another humiliating death without even making a single move.
When Blacktail laughed mercilessly as if he was mocking him, Scale Ring felt the anger in his heart rising a little.
"You have to crouch down to defend yourself to block this kid's kick."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Heiwei and Linrong. This match had attracted the attention of two or three members of the Sewing Gang.
It seemed that the Sewing Gang member who warned Linrong … had been beaten up by Heiwei in the same way.
"Crouch down?"
Linrong's third character was Red Ball. If Josiah remembered correctly, the King of Fighters players had given him many nicknames, such as Broomhead.
This member of the Quest Society had amazing comprehension. When Blacktail wanted to repeat Mary's old trick, he already knew the basic operation of squatting down to defend.
