Dimensional Streamer: Infinite Views in Another World-Chapter 37: Tutorial

[Quest Completed]

This wasn’t the only system panel flickering before Noa.

He should have checked the reward notification but couldn’t stop looking at the woman beside him.

Hearing that Clara came from a rich family wasn’t surprising.

Everything about her exuded wealth, confidence, and a rare charm few women possessed.

Despite that, Noa never thought she would be connected to Techworld—especially after seeing her with James.

Clara saw confusion in his eyes.

The conflicting emotions on her face evaporated in an instant, replaced by genuine laughter. "Did I startle you?" she asked, her amusement not dying out.

Noa nodded.

There was no need for him to act as if nothing had happened.

"You are probably wondering why I would go to a meeting with James when, in reality, his businesses are owned by my family?" She paused to make sure both of them were on the same page. "It was a tricky situation. He didn’t know who I was, and I wanted to see what kind of person he really was."

"Sounds complicated," Noa answered softly.

Turns out, Clara was on a mission to dig something up about James—possibly sent by her family.

But why choose her as a spy instead of someone else?

Noa still knew very little about her. She kept many things to herself, and he didn’t even bother asking, leaving the family matters in her hands.

But he didn’t forget how she looked upon seeing the store.

Clearly, she wasn’t too happy to be here. And Noa didn’t want to ignore that. "Should we go somewhere else?"

Clara’s eyes narrowed, a smile tugging at her lips.

She could tell Noa was thinking about her situation and appreciated the gesture. "It’s okay. We have no reason to avoid this place. This is the perfect place to play games, right?"

Noa saw her calmness and knew that she wasn’t lying.

So he agreed and led her inside.

’Alright, let’s see what we have got,’ he thought and summoned the system notification to see the reward.

[Requirement: Learn more about Clara Carter]

[Reward: Unique skill unlocked]

The skills were, without a doubt, the best reward Noa could receive. They directly enhanced his capabilities, granting him power no other human had.

[Analytical Instinct (Passive)]

[Description: Your ability to read people, situations, and opportunities becomes faster and more accurate]

’I was expecting something else,’ he thought, letting the notification fade. The moment it did, a sharp current assaulted his mind.

Even though it didn’t exactly hurt him, it wasn’t gentle either. His brain tensed, and every sense became amplified. The world, however, slowed around him, sharpening every detail, including the perfect face of the woman beside him.

Then, suddenly, everything went back to normal.

It was a strange experience—one Noa had never experienced before.

As air buzzed in the store, rows of PCs, high-end OLED monitors, and the newest gear called for his attention, Noa looked lost.

"What’s up?" Clara asked, noticing his silence.

Looking around as if he were a kid lost in a candy shop, Noa’s steps quickened. "I like this place," he said and urged her to move as well. "Come on, let’s find the gaming section."

The woman saw excitement flash across his face and followed him behind.

Yes, Noa wanted to purchase a new gaming setup for himself, but the main priority for now was to find a place where they could enjoy gaming in peace.

Luckily for them, Techworld had locations that met his requirements.

Moving deeper into the building, they stopped in front of a wide glass section with neon-lit aisles. The place looked sleek, private, and spacious.

Inside, two recliner chairs and a massive 85-inch monitor waited.

A PS5 also sat beneath it, ready for everyone willing to pay the price to play it.

Framed with expensive Sony sound speakers and LED lighting on the walls, the room had everything a gamer would want in their life.

Clara raised an eyebrow. "...This looks a bit excessive."

Enjoying her honesty, Noa shook his head. "That’s why you are a noob. Gaming is life, and there is no excessiveness in this world."

Then he stepped closer to the touch console.

It was fully automatic, and with a simple touch of his card, the payment was completed. The price wasn’t cheap, though. Although he paid for only an hour, $100 was deducted from his bank account.

Still, Noa didn’t blink.

Seeing his casual attitude, Clara offered him a faint smile. "You must really love this." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yes, she had long since noticed that it was Noa’s first time here, but she didn’t question it, making sure not to cross borders that might annoy him.

Noa wasn’t blind either.

He, too, knew how understanding she was and enjoyed her presence because of that.

"...Yeah," he said and led her inside. "Welcome to the temple where friendships are forged... and destroyed."

She laughed, entering first.

The atmosphere looked even better from inside, making her feel like a real gamer.

Noa walked behind her. "Can you handle losing? Because the game I want to play will have lots of death. Yours specifically."

He then tossed the controller at her and sat down.

Clara caught it. "I don’t lose," she said with confidence.

But Noa didn’t let her fool him. Based on her experience, he knew she would have a hard time. "Have you heard of a game called It Takes Two?"

Tilting her head, Clara asked, "Is it a dance game? I am a terrible dancer."

Noa chuckled at her joke. "Now I want to see you dance," he said with a grin. "But no. We are working as a team to overcome the obstacles."

A moment later, when the opening cutscenes ended and it was time for actual gameplay, Clara leaned forward.

Then, despite Noa’s instructions, she pressed random buttons down, and her tiny character spun wildly. "Wait. Wait. Why am I falling? Did you push me?"

"It was you. Don’t blame me. You are the one jumping off the cliff."

"Why would the game allow me to do that?" Clara questioned, not sure what was going on—especially after her character magically came back to life.

Noa’s eyes narrowed mockingly. "Skill issue."

The moment he said these words, the new system panel materialized, offering him a brand-new quest.
