Chapter 126: Hunting for Kira Yoshikage

Anger lingered in Yoshida Saki's heart. Even a clay figure could still be angry. She was a living person who had never provoked anyone. She had been law-abiding since she was a child. She just wanted to change herself to be more attractive after going to school, but she became the target of someone's random killings?

This made Yoshida Saki angrier and angrier. She looked at her inventory, diamond armor, weapons and equipment, buckets, milk, magma buckets, and empty buckets. With these, she felt she should be able to defeat the enemy.

"I roughly know who did it."

Yoshida Saki's words made Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu look serious. They had come to S City because the perverted killer in Morioh Town had run away. According to the information obtained by Higashikata Josuke's father, Joseph Joestar, the culprit had already come here.

Morioh Town was guarded by Kujo Jotaro because many evil Stand users appeared in the city, and he wanted to get rid of them.

"He should be a blond man. He looks like an ordinary office worker, but the sins on him will anger even the gods!"

"That's him! Where did you see him?"

Yoshida Saki turned her head and looked in the direction she had come from. At that moment, she widened her eyes: "That's him!"

She never expected that Kira Yoshikage was actually in the coffee shop behind her, but his expression was very nervous, especially when Yoshida Saki turned her head. He walked directly into the coffee shop.

"Damn it! I want to kill you!"

Yoshida Saki's emotions were running wild. No one would have thought that Yoshida Saki was just a typical good girl at home and school girl a day ago.

Influenced by the game Minecraft, she already had very basic combat experience. In addition, the Minecraft character system made her feel like she was playing a game. She had read the strategy provided by Liu Yuan.

Redstone guide specifically emphasized: "At any time, you need to use the most cruel means to kill the enemy."

And now, this strange middle-aged man actually wanted to kill her?

"Wait!"

Higashikata Josuke didn't expect that the female student he had just met could burst out with such a terrifying momentum. He could see that Yoshida Saki seemed to have some special abilities. But no matter what, it is not a gentleman's thing to let a woman face danger alone.

"Let's go together!"

"Hey! Wait!"

Nijimura Okuyasu also followed, and a temporary team of three was formed, targeting the perverted killer in Morioh Town, Kira Yoshikage.

Kira Yoshikage felt that he was very unlucky today. On the way to work, he casually dealt with a threatening target, but the target was actually saved by two idiots who followed him from Morioh Town.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Kira Yoshikage hid in the store, walked out of the back door, and merged into the crowd of shoppers. He was just an ordinary office worker like the public, but he had a slightly perverted hobby.

With this ordinariness, he had avoided countless dangers, and he believed he could avoid it this time. He planned to take the subway to leave this city and continue his ordinary life in another city. However, this idea was eventually shattered because Yoshida Saki took out a map.

He didn't know how Yoshida Saki found him accurately in this situation, but he knew that if he didn't do anything, he would definitely die. He wanted to kill these people and all the pursuers. Only in this way could he continue his ordinary life.

His obsession made the arrow that had been placed in his arms to create a Stand-User react. It drilled out of the sleeve and stabbed Kira Yoshikage's wrist fiercely.

Yoshida Saki was holding a map, accurately locating Kira Yoshikage's coordinates. The Minecraft she played didn't have mods, but even in the original, the map had a special function to locate local players in PVP. When Kira Yoshikage launched an attack on Yoshida Saki, the system had already determined that the other party was a hostile player, and the map coverage range would definitely determine its location.

"You are also a reconnaissance Stand-User?"

Higashikata Josuke showed a surprised expression when he saw the mark on Yoshida Saki's map. It was so accurate in locating the target, and the coordinates would change as the map moved. The power of this "Stand-User" surprised Higashikata Josuke.

"It sounds very powerful..."

Nijimura Okuyasu couldn't understand it. He had only one thing to do: to kill the perverted killer. He and his brother had done a lot of wrong things, but after his brother's death, he swore to be a good person in the future.

"Let's go!"

Yoshida Saki and her group quickly approached Kira Yoshikage. At that moment, Kira Yoshikage felt a throbbing feeling, his heartbeat was accelerating, and his fingernails were growing wildly.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, he decided to run to a deserted place to fight. Since he couldn't escape, he would fight. He had great confidence in Killer Queen. In any case, he couldn't become a public target.

"Kira Yoshikage!"

Higashikata Josuke, who followed Yoshida Saki's instructions into the alley, showed a winning smile. Kira Yoshikage was very strong, but thanks to his friend, they knew one of the abilities of Kira Yoshikage's stand.

Bomb Detonation. As long as he is not touched by him or his stand, Killer Queen is not a scary stand.

It's just that there was too much garbage in this alley, and neither he nor Nijimura Okuyasu was sure what the other party had used a stand on them.

"Haha, you dare not move forward."

The biggest weakness of his stand is that it can only make one bomb at a time, but when there are enough targets around, no one knows what he will turn into a bomb into.

However...

"Damn it!" Higashikata Josuke vaguely felt that something was wrong. He wanted to move forward, but his intuition stopped him.

"His ability is to detonate something, right? Leave it to me! I'll be the target. If he dares to let me get close, I'm sure I can kill him."

Yoshida Saki raised her shield, with some tension in her tone: "Higashika...right? If I get hurt, you will save me, right?"

"Leave it to me!"

Nijimura Okuyasu absolutely would not allow a girl to detect mines, but Yoshida Saki directly rejected his behavior.

"Go back, you can't."

The ability of The Hand is indeed strong, but it's too slow. When they communicated on the road, she knew that they were catching this person and knew each other's information.

What is the most important thing in a battle? Intelligence!

Kira Yoshikage didn't know her intelligence, but she knew the other side's intelligence.

Although she only played Minecraft, she learned what was the most important thing in multiplayer games during this process.

That is cooperation!

Some are good at fighting, some are good at healing, and she knew that she had no talent, but she could still use the items in the Minecraft world to explore and provide a good space for her combat units.

"You won't die, right?"

"No!"

"Then I promise you, no matter how badly you are injured, I can restore you to your original state."

"Okay."

Without much communication, Yoshida Saki took a deep breath, put on a diamond suit, held a shield and a diamond sword in her hand, and walked towards Kira Yoshikage.

"You are approaching me!"

Kira Yoshikage didn't understand Yoshida Saki's purpose.

Chapter 127: Milk Removes Debuff

"Hahaha!"

Kira Yoshikage laughed loudly. The opponent's vigilance was within his expectations. He thought the most difficult challenge would come from Nijimura Okuyasu, but he didn't expect it to be Yoshida Saki, a "Stand User" with scrying abilities.

There were no bombs along the way. Yoshida Saki's heartbeat was accelerating. Even with a shield, an explosion from the side or behind would harm her.

However, there were no bombs along the way. As Kira Yoshikage got closer, Yoshida Saki's heartbeat accelerated. Higashikata Josuke had told her that the man in front of her had the ability to detonate people or objects as bombs.

And the pink humanoid cat was a Stand. She was confident that within five steps, she could prevent the other stand from touching her and cut the enemy with her sword.

Ten steps, nine steps, five steps—she had reached the attack range of the diamond sword. She had raised her weapon to attack but suddenly heard a strange sound.

The sound of the explosion appeared in front of her, and Kira clenched his fist in the air and pressed his thumb.

"The third bomb! Bites the Dust!"

At that moment, Yoshida Saki heard the sound of an explosion, but then she found herself back beside Higashikata Josuke and the others.

"Wait?"

She still heard the sound of the explosion timer, and as the explosion became louder and louder, she realized things were not going well.

"Damn it!" Higashikata Josuke vaguely felt that something was wrong. He wanted to go forward, but his intuition stopped him.

Nijimura Okuyasu on the side summoned a Stand to go forward, and at that moment Yoshida Saki felt increasingly uneasy.

Kira Yoshikage's expression in front of her was also off, and the sense of déjà vu and the sound of the timer in her body made her feel something was very wrong.

Almost instinctively, she ran away from the spot, and at that moment, Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu were stunned.

"Yoshida!!"

With a cry of surprise, Yoshida Saki exploded on the spot. At the moment of the explosion, Yoshida Saki felt pain from her soul, but for some reason, when she found that the "friend" she just met was not in danger, she felt relieved.

She thought she was going to die, but then she suddenly found herself back with Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu again.

"Damn it!" Higashikata Josuke felt that something was wrong. He wanted to go forward, but his intuition stopped him.

Hearing Higashikata Josuke's words and seeing his expression, Yoshida Saki panicked.

"What's going on? Am I not dead? Is this an attack of a Stand User?"

Attacked? When, what kind of attack? Wait?

Yoshida Saki quickly recalled her experience. As the countdown in her body grew louder, she rushed out again, but this time she faced Kira Yoshikage. Even if she exploded, she would take Kira Yoshikage to hell. She walked forward quickly, counting the sound of the timer in her body. For the 39th time, her body exploded again.

And then, the world reverted again.

The phantom pain once again made Yoshida Saki kneel on the ground.

"Huh."

"Yoshida? Are you okay?"

The sudden painful breathing of Yoshids Saki made Higashikata Josuke stop what he was doing and turn to care for his teammate. However, Yoshida Saki had no time to think too much. She keenly noticed that the second explosion seemed to occur earlier than the first explosion.

Something is wrong! Very wrong. She kept returning to the previous postion, and then her body exploded.

Putting these clues together, it could be judged that Kira Yoshikage attacked her with a stand similar to time reversal, allowing to detonate the bomb in her next to her companions and kill her teammates? So what is this time? How does it trigger? How do you break it?

Her thoughts were confused, but when she heard the concerned voices around her, she knew she had to leave quickly.

"I have a bomb on me, don't get close to me!"

Yoshida Saki once again left the team, and as the sound in her body grew louder, her body exploded again.

This time she was sure that the explosion time was indeed advancing and her time shortenting. Because the time difference between the explosion in this time loops and the previous one was 37.

"That is to say, I will definitely die if the timer exceeds 35 this time."

At this moment, Yoshida Saki felt as if time had stopped. Her brain was racing for countermeasures. If she kept running away like this, sooner or later she would explode at the moment of time reversal and kill her companions.

Crazy Diamond could indeed piece her body back together at the moment of her explosion, but what if this explosion was not a real physical explosion, but just a special effect of time reversal? Even if she was pieced back together, the triggered time reversal might not be stopped.

And she had few chances left. According to the count of one minus two, she only had 12 chances left, and the last few were no longer opportunities, because at that point in time, she would explode if she stood up.

Then she only had, at most, six time reversal opportunities left.

What should she do? She was panicking. However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed a Debuff icon on her character status.

Debuff...Debuff?

She looked at the milk in the character's inventory. The guidebook introduced the item Milk. Milk can make food, bottled milk, and remove Debuffs.

According to the description in the guide, this Milk could remove all Debuffs.

She took out the milk while calculating the numbers and lifted a bucket of milk to pour into her mouth. According to the strategy, the milk must be drunk completely to remove the Debuff.

After a bucket of milk went into her stomach, the Debuff added by Killer Queen was instantly removed.

Yoshida Saki did not hesitate and rushed up directly. Kira Yoshikage smiled when he saw Yoshida Saki's behavior.

If it were the first two times, Yoshida Saki could still touch him before being detonated, but now she couldn't do it. She would explode when she was five steps away from him, and then time would reverse again.

The victory was now determined, and Yoshida Saki and Higashikata Josuke had no chance of winning.

Endless time reversal could add 30 time reversal to the target and return to the state one minute ago. The first time is a total of 30 seconds, and each subsequent time reduces the time by one second.

A countdown would appear in the body of the person hit by the stand, and the count would get faster as time passed.

The skill release distance is very short. Only when the opponent is within five meters of him can he use the stand. After using the stand, the stand can no longer attack.

However, as long as the person trapped by the bomb in the first few time loops does not react, they in the next time loops will be closer and closer to death.

There are only two ways to remove the Stand's ability. The first is to be killed by the explosion at the end of the time loop. The second is to end the time loop in advance by killing all the targets. The third is for him to automatically remove the Stand on the target before the first two events are triggered.

This ability has almost no disadvantages. Unless he encounters a stand like Jotaro Kujo who can pause time, he is invincible.

However, Yoshida Saki came up with a fourth solution, which was to drink a bucket of milk to remove it, because Kira Yoshikage's stand ability was judged as a Debuff.

Chapter 128: True Transformation

"First Bomb!"

The explosion instantly appeared in front of Yoshida Saki, but this time Yoshida Saki was already prepared. Two Cobblestone Blocks appeared in front of her at the moment of the explosion, and she also raised her shield. The shock wave of the explosion made Yoshida Saki stagger, and at the same time, half of the braid on the right side was blown off by the shock wave.

The moment she heard the shield blocking sound, Yoshida Saki rushed up with the shield raised and the diamond sword waving.

The weapons in the MC world don't have the saying "white in and red out," they just smash.

At this moment, Kira Yoshikage also controlled his stand to start a combo against Yoshida Saki.

His stand is not one that focuses on strength and speed, but when his fear reaches the limit, his Stand can also burst out with inhuman power.

But at this moment, he heard a sound like glass breaking, and Yoshida Saki in front of him disappeared, who suddenly appeared behind him.

Ender Pearls—this is the treasure she saved to make the Eye of Ender to challenge the Ender Dragon. Although there are not many of them, they can play an unexpected role at this critical moment.

According to the strategy introduction given by Liu Yuan, attacking vital parts will cause multiple damage on opponents. And where is the vital part of human beings? Of course, the head. Although she is much shorter than Kira Yoshikage, she can jump.

Jumping headshot attack, instantly triggering a critical hit.

But at this moment, Kira Yoshikage used the first bomb again; this time it was her hair that was blown off. Kira Yoshikage was knocked unconscious by Yoshida Saki's diamond sword on the head. After all, this was her first battle in reality. She couldn't bear to kill people, and knocking out the enemy was the most cruel thing she could do. But the explosion could not be resisted, because Killer Queen pressed the detonation action in the moment before the coma.

"The Hand!"

Nijimura Okuyasu had arrived with his stand, but he was half a step slower after all. The bombing space only reduced part of the explosion damage, and the remaining explosion directly hit Yoshida Saki's body. But at the same time, the explosion also blew Yoshida Saki against the wall, causing serious injuries inside.

"Wow!" As she spat out a mouthful of blood, Higashikata Josuke also arrived.

"Dorarara!!"

The previous series of actions happened too quickly, and Higashikata Josuke's Crazy Diamond attack range was too small, but fortunately he was not too late. Under the crazy punch of Crazy Diamond, Yoshida Saki's body recovered instantly.

Higashikata Josuke contacted Kujo Jotaro, and within a few minutes, the SPW Foundation's people took away Kira Yoshikage, who was completely unconscious. The stand is difficult to restrict, so in order to prevent Kira Yoshikage from waking up, the accompanying people injected him with enough anesthetics to make him sleep for seven days and seven nights. The stand of the stand user is very powerful, but the physical body is much weaker than the stand, and the physical body can take all kinds of anesthetics.

"Huh, it's over."

Yoshida Saki was just about to continue using the props in the MC, but when she looked at it, she found that the character system was gone, and a prompt appeared on it.

"The experience is over. Please complete the game as soon as possible to experience the full version of the character template."

"Hey, hey, hey?"

Yoshida Saki was very upset. She originally thought that she could make some money using the abilities of the MC characters, but now it seems that there is no chance.

Just when she was about to leave, Higashikata Josuke called her.

"Yoshida-san."

"What's wrong?"

"The Speedwagon Foundation has something to tell you..."

The specific situation is that the SPW Foundation has issued a wanted order for Kira Yoshikage. Anyone who provides clues about Kira Yoshikage can get nearly 50,000 yen, and those who provide key clues can get a reward of 500,000 yen.

And personally catching Kira Yoshikage... Although this is the credit of Higashikata Josuke and his companions, the top management of the SPW Foundation decided after discussion to give Yoshida Saki a reward of 5 million yen. At the same time, the contact person also said that there was no need to worry about Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu, as their remuneration would be paid by someone else.

This money made Yoshida Saki swallow her saliva. "So much money? Can I really get it?"

"Of course, you deserve it."

"Thank you, thank you, it's a big help, but..."

Yoshida Saki was a little entangled. She only needed to keep two-thirds of the money, which should be enough for the next long days of Internet use. She wanted to save the rest of the money, but if she took the money back directly, her parents would definitely misunderstand, right?

She explained her idea to the SPW contact person, and the other party contacted the senior management and smiled, saying: "We are happy to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with you. We will communicate with your parents and guarantee that you will be satisfied. But you need to come and cooperate with us a little."

"Um, can you wait a moment?"

"Okay."

Yoshida Saki did not follow immediately but returned to Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu and bowed to them.

"Thanks for the help."

"No, no, no!"

The two waved their hands at the same time and said one after the other, "We just helped you with the treatment, and we didn't do anything else."

"That's right, you are still the hero here."

Yoshida Saki took out her mobile phone. "Can we exchange contact information? I want to treat you to a meal in the future."

"Huh?"

"What?"

The two people who were approached by the girl blushed instantly. Although they usually talk nonsense, they are more cowardly than each other when it comes to the real thing. Especially being invited to dinner by a girl, this kind of thing sounds weird.

After exchanging contact information, Yoshida Saki followed the people from the Speedwagon Foundation.

The windfall did not change her mentality too much, but she felt relieved. At the same time, she was carefully calculating how long the money could last.

After deducting some for her family, if she used the rest sparingly, she could play in the Internet cafe for more than a year. If she was a little extravagant in the middle, using TT to communicate across the world or buy some snacks, it might be less than a year.

"It's simply a bottomless pit..."

At this moment, Yoshida Saki realized how high the consumption at the Internet cafe was. But when she thought about the fact that she could use the Minecraft props and abilities in real life, she realized that if she didn't have these things, she might have died inexplicably while walking on the street.

This made her realize that having a certain strength might be more important than being good-looking or rich. And that Internet cafe is a place that can provide her with strength and endless power.

Yes, after seeing the end of the practical application and the permanent ability of completing the game, she became more determined to complete the game. Game? No, she felt that it was no longer a simple game, but a trial.

It was a trial for her to earn money to ensure that she could surf the Internet for a long time without money, and it was also a trial to complete the game.

At this moment, Yoshida Saki grew up. The SPW Foundation is also very active. The contact person first asked a makeup artist and a hairdresser in the Foundation to dress up Yoshida Saki. Crazy Diamond has the ability to recover, but it must recover items that still exist. For example, the hair that was completely destroyed by the first bomb cannot be recovered.

Under the care of professional barbers and makeup artists, Yoshida Saki saw another side of herself. In front of the mirror, Yoshida Saki looked at her image incredulously.

Beautiful and confident, the original glasses were taken off and replaced with contact lenses. The hair was no longer braided but became long black and straight.

"Is this me?"

Yoshida Saki couldn't believe that she could complete the real transformation in such a short time.

Chapter 129: When the Bio-players and the Survival Players Join Forces

In Morioh Town, Jotaro Kujo received the latest information from the Speedwagon Foundation.

"Yoshida Saki..."

The report detailed everything about Yoshida Saki, an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, who was even unconfident. Such an existence, easily overlooked on the street, had managed to defeat Kira Yoshikage.

He also noted the role of his 'uncle', but even so, it was necessary to win over someone who could grow so fast in a short period of time and had an unknown Stand. Don’t say 5 million yen; even 50 million yen could make the rest of the SPW Foundation bind her.

On the other hand, Yoshida Saki's mother was dumbfounded when she saw the SPW official staff at her door. She never thought that her daughter would become the image spokesperson of a large Foundation after being out for just a few hours, and even receive the endorsement fee for the next year in one go!

Fake? Impossible, because SPW had recently announced some information about the spokesperson of a certain product, and this information was exactly the same as her daughter's!

Especially when she saw the SPW people bringing back her daughter, she almost didn't recognize her due to her complete transformation.

When she saw her beautiful, confident, and generous daughter, she suspected that the other party had walked into the wrong door. Until she saw her face, which closely resembled her own when she was young, she was certain it was her daughter.

However, for Yoshida Saki, the change in image was no longer enough. She wanted to change herself from the inside out. So when she received the notice about the Internet cafe's reopening the next day, she entered without any hesitation.

"Welcome, our store is called 4-D Space Internet Cafe. You can woo woo woo!"

Takashima Yuuna was introducing the Internet cafe, but before she could say anything, Liu Yuan held her down and stopped her from speaking.

"Come here! How do you feel?"

"Very good, boss. Can I recharge my account here?"

"Of course, you will become our VIP member after recharging a certain amount and enjoy many privileges of our store!"

"Then I will recharge 3 million first."

Her 3 million yen was only a few hundred thousand in conversion. But a few hundred thousand is considered a lot in the Internet cafe, given that there are people like Rick and Fujimaru Kaede who pick up garbage and rob Heroic Spirits all over the world.

Although this money was earned by Yoshida Saki with her life, it felt like a strong wind to her. Recharge first so that she could have more time to surf the Internet. If she kept it in her own hands, she worried she might spend it impulsively.

Under Kisara's guidance, Yoshida Saki went to the seat. After all the people were arranged one by one, Takashima Yuuna asked in a low voice: "Boss, how come she has changed so much?"

"She has a good foundation."

Liu Yuan touched his chin and recalled: "What’s more, she looked good with a ponytail and glasses before! It's just that her lack of confidence made her look a little inconspicuous."

Kisara added, "That's right. In terms of appearance, although she is not as good as me, she is not much different. I don't know what she has experienced to suddenly become confident. After she became confident, whether it is a pigtail or long black straight hair, it looks good. And I'm not talking nonsense; only students would feel that her previous dress was rustic. In my opinion, it was very fashionable."

Liu Yuan added, "Yes, it may be a problem of the world she lives in! In an era where the Internet is still a little immature, this kind of appearance is very eye-catching."

They continued to chat, and Yoshida Saki, who was not wearing her glasses at the time, heard Liu Yuan and others talking, which erased the last trace of resentment in her heart.

A few minutes later, when Homura Akemi arrived, she was stunned to see the transformed Yoshida Saki.

"Yoshida?"

"It's me."

"Hiss..."

Homura Akemi took a deep breath. She remembered that yesterday Yoshida Saki had looked very similar to herself, a girl who didn’t look that fashionable.

How come she looked so different today? It was like she had transformed.

"Yoshida-chan... can you teach me how to dress myself?"

Homura Akemi was envious at that moment. Yesterday, Yoshida Saki had been the same type of girl as herself, but today she looked both beautiful and elegant. She was really envious.

"Okay!"

Yoshida Saki was happy to share her experience. After learning a bit from the makeup artist and hairstylist, she already knew how to dress herself up to look better and more elegant.

Homura Akemi, being a beautiful girl of the same type, found this experience applicable to herself.

Homura Akemi studied hard. Her ultimate goal was to make herself healthy. But becoming more beautiful and confident was something no girl could refuse. No, boys might not be able to refuse this aspect either.

Listening to Yoshida Saki's experience, the two of them opened Minecraft and started to work together. Their allocation method was simple: half a day for each person. Running the progress together, for either of them, the final reward was attractive, and only by helping each other could they be most efficient.

Working together wasn’t tiring, and with the strategy provided by Liu Yuan, one played survival and the other played redstone, greatly improving the game’s progress.

Yoshida Saki’s purpose was very clear. First, she made a simple redstone flush toilet farm. Then she quickly found a village and built a villager breeding center and a villager trading center near it.

The so-called villager breeding center uses the villagers' full food and rest desire to give birth to little villagers. The little villagers will be attracted by the bed and run over, and an open trapdoor will be placed on the road for them to pass.

The trapdoor has a characteristic that when it is open, it will make all creatures think it is closed and can walk up safely, so the little villagers fall into the water path below. As the little villagers grow up, they will be sent to the villager trading center to gain professions and then trade with villagers.

Since it was to defeat the Ender Dragon, each villager trading center was not large, with only two or three villagers of each type. The librarian built seven, and Yoshida Saki stopped.

With perfect logistics support, Homura Akemi’s progress was also very fast.

Is Nether dangerous? It doesn't matter; she has a very useful early logistics system.

If she dies, she can go back to get equipment, and their equipment stock is enough even if you die five or six times a day.

What? The enemy is too strong? Homura Akemi went straight to the dungeon, desperately brought the Nether wart home, and then completed a beggar’s version of the alchemy table. Without saying more, this allowed Homura Akemi to have enough basic potions.

So the progress of the two advanced rapidly, and after a week, both of them reached the Ender Dragon at the same time.

Chapter 130: Sign a Contract with Me and Become a Magical Girl

The Ender Dragon is the first boss that all MC players face. For most newbies who don't read the guide, the Ender Dragon is a nightmare.

Tension and uneasiness permeated Yoshida Saki and Akemi Homura's hearts. Can they really defeat this large dragon?

But for their ultimate goal, the two suppressed all emotions, knowing that this was not reality. Under constant self-suggestion, they summoned the courage to fight the dragon.

There are several obsidian pillars on the platform where the Ender Dragon is located, and the Ender Crystals are placed on the pillars. If these Ender Crystals are not removed, they will restore the health of the injured Ender Dragon.

At the same time, because the whole End is dark and filled with mobs, both of them put on pumpkin heads.

Endermen will attack anyone who looks at them in the eyes. But as long as you wear a pumpkin head, it doesn't matter how you look at them.

The way to attack the Ender Crystal is also very simple: use blocks to build up to a high place, and then use a bow and arrow to explode it. The Ender Dragon has several attack modes. It can charge and knock the player into the sky and kill them. Few people die from falling due to it but many fall into the void.

After all, when you see an Enderman, you will use water when you fall, so it is difficult to fall over.

Another way is to spit out dragon breath, which causes magic damage and continuous HP loss within a certain range.

Finally, it can rest on the bedrock pillar. During this process, it is immune to ranged damage but can be attacked by melee. However, you need to be careful of the melee attack of the Ender Dragon.

As long as you understand the attack rhythm of the Ender Dragon, it is only a matter of time before you kill it.

Don't be greedy; keep the progress steady, dismantle the Ender Crystals, and finally kill the Ender Dragon.

When the two completed the game at the same time, they excitedly took off their glasses.

"Yeah~"

The two clapped their hands at the same time, their faces showing excitement. Takashima Yuna at the front desk asked curiously, "Boss, have you finished the game?"

"Indeed, they are progressing quite fast."

"But boss, is that game really fun?"

Takashima Yuna has finished many games in this period of time because, according to Liu Yuan's explanation, the game Minecraft has the completion and redstone strategy he gave, and the rest can be explored by players on their own, she finished the game within an hour which also led to Takashima Yuna's limited understanding of this game.

"It's fun, you can try it after you finish all the games. I guarantee you will like it."

"Boss, take me?"

"Okay!"

"Hmm?"

Kigara, who was learning to mix cocktails, always felt that something was wrong.

After Akemi Homura and Yoshida Saki finished Minecraft, they felt an indescribable sense of relaxation. Killing the Ender Dragon was just game completion, but the game was not over yet.

Whether it was adventure or construction, Minecraft had too many possibilities.

The two who finished the game also received the final reward of the game, the Crafting Table. At the same time, Homura Akemi also felt that her body had changed. Her heart was no longer so uncomfortable, and her eyesight seemed normal.

Yoshida Saki, who was standing next to her, felt the same way. She turned her head to look at Homura Akemi, and Homura Akemi looked at her. The two nodded vigorously and smiled at the same time.

Outsiders could not see the changes in their bodies, but they could feel it themselves.

They both completed their own changes. One no longer had to worry about physical problems, and the other became more confident from the inside out. Look, she has received a lot of love letters during this period of time at school.

It's just that she has become more mature and has no interest in the love between students. She prefers to play games with Homura Akemi and explore the free world together. If possible...

"Homura, how about we continue to play together in the future?"

"Okay!"

Homura Akemi stretched her waist, and with her health restored, she felt more relaxed. At the same time, she also learned that for Minecraft, clearing the level is just the beginning.

Even in the real world, there are more things waiting for her to explore.

In addition, this game can also add mods to create a larger server.

Yes, after a perfect game completion, it is no longer a LAN connection, but you can spend money to build a server. Five thousand to rent a server for a year, and a server can have a server owner and multiple OPs. In the MC world, OP is the so-called administrator.

Five thousand, converted into Japanese yen, is about 100,000 yen. This price is too expensive for Homura Akemi, but it is nothing for Yoshida Saki.

So after the clearance, the two directly rented a server and added some mods under the guidance of Liu Yuan.

After all, the server was paid for by Yoshida Saki, so Yoshida Saki is the server owner, and Homura Akemi is the administrator of the server. The two plan to add more people to this server in the future.

Any player who joins the server can transfer the props and materials they personally obtained to their own server through the ender chest.

In addition, there are many functions, but they can't use these functions for the time being.

They decided to learn from Liu Yuan in the system before opening the server. However, before adding people, they decided to thoroughly understand the various skills and characteristics of Minecraft Only by thoroughly understanding this can you play it.

So, with the joint efforts of the two, they obtained elytra, got the shadow shell, dug up ancient debris in hell, and obtained the Wither Skill.

However, the two did not kill the wither before the closure of the shop today, which resulted in them not being able to carry the beacon.

At 7:50, accompanied by the closing notice, Akemi Homura and Yoshida Saki took off their glasses. Today's game journey had ended, and the two chatted for a while and went home.

After returning home, Akemi Homura did not rest immediately but took out her phone and dialed her family's number.

"Hello? Mom? Yeah, very good, not cold. The admission materials are ready. Enough, enough money. Don't hang up, mom." After hesitating for a long time, she sorted out her words: "Mom, my illness is cured." "I'm not kidding you, it's really cured. My myopia is also cured. Um... I don't know, okay, I will contact the doctor for a physical examination. You and dad don't worry." "Yeah, okay, goodbye."

Homura Akemi's words seemed like a fantasy to her parents, but they had heard some rumors after working hard outside for so many years. It is said that some patients with serious illnesses will recover miraculously one day. They have also prayed for miracles, but miracles have never happened.

Unexpectedly, a miracle happened today?

However, they can't come back to accompany their daughter immediately. They are indeed happy that their daughter's body has returned to normal, but their work cannot stop.

After hanging up the phone, Homura Akemi felt relaxed. She opened the window, breathed in the fresh air, and watched the vehicles coming and going. Just when she was about to indulge herself a little, she heard a question that made her spine shiver.

"Do you want to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

Chapter 131: Make a Wish to Become a Magical Girl, What's the Price?

"Want to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

Turning around, a cute white creature that looks like a rabbit but isn't a rabbit stands in front of her.

"Who are you?"

"You can call me Kyubey~"

Kyubey licked its paw and asked Homura Akemi again, "My name is Kyubey. Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl, and you can have any wish come true."

Any wish—just these few words made Homura Akemi's heart beat faster. But vaguely, she felt something was wrong.

Does she have a wish? Of course, to keep herself healthy and not add pressure to her family. This is her simplest wish.

Besides this? She thought carefully, and except for this, she felt that she didn't have any other wishes, believing she could achieve anything through hard work. Although she had been playing with Yoshida Saki in the internet cafe during this period.

But through TT's public group, she learned that she could gain knowledge in the game and even bring out power and knowledge to transform into wealth. Whether material or spiritual, you can get it in this internet cafe. These things may be difficult to obtain, but there is definitely hope.

What is a wish? In Homura Akemi's understanding, a wish is something that she cannot obtain or a height that she cannot reach. But now she can get everything she can imagine and the knowledge she wants, so what else does she need?

Kyubey, who saw Homura Akemi's doubts, continued, "This world is not safe. Witches are wandering in the city and hurting people. Only by becoming a magical girl can you fight them. Sign a contract with me to become a magical girl and destroy these witches."

Kyubey changed its words to be more tempting. Homura Akemi's existence surprised it. It didn't understand why this girl had strong potential. If she could become a magical girl, then the most powerful magical girl in history would be born here.

The most powerful magical girl is also the most powerful witch. If Homura Akemi can become a witch, then the power that bursts out in an instant is enough for it to complete its mission.

As for what will happen to the earth after completing the mission, it has nothing to do with Kyubey. It is just an incubator that keeps moving to complete its mission.

"Magical girl?"

This word sounds beautiful, but Homura Akemi vaguely feels that something is wrong. Even in the internet cafe, it takes money, time, and experience to gain power and knowledge.

Although the effort and reward are not proportional, it is indeed an effort. But here with Kyubey, you can become a magical girl who fights witches by making a wish. So what is the price?

Her playmate in the internet cafe is Yoshida Saki. Both of them are students and have little experience. But whenever they have questions, they ask Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan can always give them the most accurate answers.

And Liu Yuan also said that whether in games or in life, they can tell him when they encounter difficulties. As a mature man, he can see a little further than them, the students, and give some reliable advice.

So, she contacted Liu Yuan.

At this time, Liu Yuan, who was taking a shower and preparing to go to bed, saw the message from Homura Akemi and his expression twisted.

"What the hell? Can you become a magical girl by making a wish? Can pie fall from the sky?"

Although the 4-D Space Internet Cafe seems to be very good to all customers, Liu Yuan's ultimate goal is to make money. Only with more money can he unlock more games and make himself happy.

The system also has it's own goals. It wants to be a cross-multiverss platform and become stronger and bigger than the main god next door.

For these goals, the things done may be beneficial for ordinary people, but Liu Yuan is very clear that if there are no goals, these benefits will not exist at all.

As a result, now Akemi Homura suddenly told him that there is a creature who wants to sign a contract with her to become a magical girl, and can also help her make any wish, and even save humanity? Then the question is, what is the price?

"Is it an anime for children?"

Liu Yuan shook his head. After hesitating for a while, he replied directly, "There is no such thing as a free lunch, but there is a trap. The better the description, the more expensive it is. Just don't agree. Tell me what you want and I will help you choose a game."

"But boss, aren't you also fulfilling my wishes here?"

"But the problem is that I am eyeing your wallet. What about it? What is it eyeing? Money? Does this kind of creature lack money? If it's not money, what do you have? Body, soul. Fight? I'm not bragging! This kind of creature that can turn you into a magical girl should theoretically be able to defeat these monsters, so why does it want to turn you into a magical girl?"

This sentence made Homura Akemi feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. The logic was clear at this moment. It's easy to help deal with the witch, but as Liu Yuan said, if it can turn her into a magical girl, it proves that it has the power to deal with the witch directly.

"Wait?"

Liu Yuan's speech once again attracted Homura Akemi's attention: "Magical girl, and witch... there are two words missing in the middle. Why do I feel that there is something fishy? Could the witch be a former magical girl?"

Once this guess came out, Homura Akemi felt even colder. Looking at the cute creature in front of her, she suddenly remembered what her grandmother said to her when she was a child.

"Homura, you must be careful of pyramid schemes and cults when you grow up. These guys will disguise things as very beautiful, and when you take the bait, it's time for you to fall into the abyss."

Kyubey's words and guidance are so similar to pyramid schemes and cults. They all use beautiful things and righteousness as temptations, but who knows what the real situation is?

"Boss, what should I do?"

Seeing Homura Akemi's question, Liu Yuan thought about countermeasures. He didn't put himself in the shoes of Homura and didn't know what the specific situation was, but he could feel that this thing called Kyubey was not a good thing.

"Simple, you agree to fight the witch, but don't make a wish. Don't sign a contract with it anyway. If you have any questions, tell me or other reliable adults in the group. Don't act on your own."

"Understood!"

Liu Yuan is one of the few reliable adults that Homura Akemi knows. Whether it's guidance in the game or chatting in life, he has always been very reliable. This time she chose to believe Liu Yuan, who she had met and had in-depth communication with, and was wary of the temptation of this unknown creature.

"I can fight the witch, but I refuse to sign a contract with you."

"Ordinary humans can't defeat witches!"

"Who told you I'm an ordinary human?"

Homura Akemi smiled slightly. When she was wary of Kyubey, she found that Kyubey's words had a lot of problems, and she felt that Kyubey's behavior was also very problematic.

This needs to be investigated carefully. As for ordinary humans? Twelve hours ago, she was considered an ordinary human. But now...

Looking at the crafting table in her inventory, she knew that she was no longer an ordinary person.

Chapter 132: Block Man vs. Witch

Faced with Homura Akemi's proposal, Kyubey tilted its head. "Why do you want to do this? The human body is very fragile; even the weakest familiar cannot be defeated by it. Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl. If it's you, any wish can be realized."

"No need, take me to see the witch."

Just as Liu Yuan said, there is no big difference between witches and magical girls in name alone. At the same time, Liu Yuan's words reminded Homura Akemi that girls who can use magic—women who could use magic in the Middle Ages, regardless of age—are all considered witches.

"Okay, I can take you to defeat the witch. If you want to become a magical girl, you can tell me at any time~"

Kyubey is a creature that will not lie and will never force a sale. It only signs a contract with the other party to make them a magical girl with their permission.

But not lying does not mean not ommiting.

Witches can lure people into the barrier and then kill them. The killed humans will become nutrients for witches to grow stronger. Ordinary people can't see witches, let alone Kyubey, so when a large witch destroys a city, it is perceived by humans as a sudden natural disaster. Only those who have experienced it personally know how terrifying witches are.

The witch barrier is a world completely separated from the outside world, but before entering, Homura Akemi secretly made some preparations. After completing the game and obtaining the crafting table along with the materials and props owned by her character, Homura Akemi checked the equipment she carried with her.

At the same time, she looked at several special items in her inventory.

The Undead Totem, a prop obtained when the predator invaded, was one of them. Unfortunately, there were very few of these items, only three. But resisting death three times is enough.

An enchanted golden apple: as long as she is alive, eating this magical prop can heal her whole body.

And the ender pearl used to escape: after preparing these key props, Homura Akemi donned her equipment and walked into the witch barrier in the abandoned building. Seeing the things Homura Akemi carried, Kyubey showed a curious look.

Powers that does not belong to this world—at this moment, it guessed the reason why Homura Akemi carried such a huge amount of potential.

"So that's how it is. A girl who can freely travel to another world; if you become a witch, you will definitely be very powerful!"

Since arriving on Earth, it has encountered several travelers from another world. The karma of these travelers made them change the world after they turned into magical girls.

After they became witches, the power obtained by Kyubey significantly shortened its working life.

Since it is a power from another world, it is a bit difficult for her to become a magical girl due to injury, but other magical girls can be used to guide her.

There is not only her in the barrier, but also other girls with magical girl talents that it has chosen. One of them even has the same talent as Homura Akemi.

Inside the barrier, Homura Akemi looked at the monsters around her vigilantly.

This barrier gave Homura Akemi an abstract feeling. In this abstraction, she felt as if she were out of place. In this case...

Homura Akemi switched modes. The resource pack reward after clearing Minecraft can even make her use them in reality, using the block man resource pack to make herself immune to most things and become a complete game character.

Thorns were everywhere, and the cotton-like "gardener" controlled the scissors and thorns, surrounding the two girls named Kaname Madoka and Miki Sayaka.

They hugged each other in fear. They had just heard strange sounds on the road and entered out of curiosity, but were pulled into the witch's barrier and became the witch's nourishment.

"Help!!"

At the moment when their lives were threatened, they made a last call for help. However, under the monster's laughter and the sound of thorns rubbing, the sound of breaking glass was so clear.

Snap!

"Stand behind me!"

A strange figure with a black body, a shining shield, and a black sword appeared in front of them. This person was none other than Akemi Homura.

Homura held up the shield, and all attacks were blocked by the seemingly simple shield. But just this was not enough to harm these witches.

Holding the shield with her left hand and swinging the sword with her right, the Netherite sword with Restoration, Sharpness, Looting, Unbreakable, and Fire enchantments was swung.

Flames instantly enveloped the surroundings, igniting the fragile roses and thorns.

The monsters vanished madly, turning into light and flying into Homura Akemi's equipment and weapons.

The Restoration in the game is not an abstract concept in reality, but the soul, blood, and power of the enemy. As long as the enemy is subdued by Homura Akemi, they become the nutrients of the equipment, maintaining its power.

"That, it's the boss!"

With the experience of fighting the Ender Dragon and numerous MC monsters, it was easy to judge that this figure with a very long health bar and special characteristics should be the boss of this space.

The Rose Witch, a witch who has just been born and has not devoured much life, now had very weak but could summon a large number of familiars to attack.

For a new magical girl, this would be a very difficult opponent. But unfortunately, its opponent was Homura Akemi, who already had rich combat experience.

Homura Akemi took out a TNT and threw the Ender Pearl with great force. She then threw the Ender Pearl into the air again.

When the Ender Pearl landed for the first time, she appeared right at the feet of the Rose Witch. Almost instantly, she placed a large amount of TNT and activated it with a redstone torch.

With the sound of TNT hissing and ready to detonate, the second Ender Pearl landed, and she returned to her original position instantly.

At the same time, she created a wall with obsidian in front of her to resist the explosion of the scattered TNT.

"Good, so cool..."

Seeing Homura Akemi's smooth movements, Sayaka Miki and Madoka Kaname both showed excitement. Although Homura Akemi looked square, her handsome movements and smooth operations were imprinted in their hearts.

However, Homura Akemi was not complacent. She calculated the time and snapped her fingers. The TNT exploded instantly.

Under normal circumstances, humans cannot kill witches. Even using hot weapons is useless, as the power of witches far exceeds that of humans on Earth. However, the TNT used by Homura Akemi is a bomb on the surface but in reality, a weapon of disaster in the world of Minecraft.

Not to mention Witches, it can kill even Ghasts, Ender Dragons, and Withers. What's more, a mere witch is far inferior to the Ender Dragon in terms of strength and background setting.

With the explosion of TNT, the health of the Rose Witch dropped to zero. The witch's barrier began to disappear, and at the original position of the witch, a round black object with spikes appeared in front of Homura Akemi.

"Grief Seed?"

The Block Man has the ability to query item information, but Homura Akemi could only know what this thing was without knowing its use.

However, when she saw the price of the Grief Seed, she fell silent.

Chapter 133: Homura Akemi got NTR'ed by Homura Akemi?

Grief Seed, priced at 1 million.

Yes, you read it correctly—each Grief Seed is worth a million. It is so valuable because each Grief Seed is the soul of a magical girl. They were once innocent and pure, and they fought for this world.

Cheating? No, according to Kyubey's understanding, it merely concealed some information; everything it said was true, with no deception. But it was these omissions that drove these girls to chase after a hopeless abyss.

The Internet cafe system is willing to recycle these souls. They have combat talents and mature minds after being brought to despair. Thanks to Kyubey's transformation, every magical girl has a very high appearance. No matter from which angle, the Grief Seed is very valuable.

However, Homura Akemi didn't know these details. She only saw a special note.

"It is recommended to let the Grief Seed absorb all negative power before trading. When the storage reaches 100%, the price of the Grief Seed can be increased by 20%."

Homura Akemi admitted that she was tempted at this moment. Unlike Yoshida Saki, she had now reached the peak of her life, and the funds in her possession could let her play for a year or two.

But she couldn't do that; she had spent all her pocket money recently.

If she didn't find a way to make money, she might not be able to enjoy herself with Yoshida Saki in the future. Considering this, Homura Akemi made a decision: sell the Grief Seed.

She didn't know the origin of the Grief Seed, nor what it meant to Kyubey. She just wanted to sell this thing. She walked forward a few steps, pressed the Grief Seed with her toes, picked it up forcefully, and put it away. Then she released the Block Man mode and tucked her hair behind her shoulders.

Kyubey didn't stop Homura Akemi's actions. It didn't care that Homura Akemi could travel at will, nor did it know she could sell this item.

It didn't mention this but was ready to use the Grief Seed to turn back into a witch. If possible, it also hoped that Homura Akemi would collect more Grief Seed, as only in real danger could it persuade someone like Homura Akemi, who had immense cause and effect, to sign a contract.

"So cool..."

Sayaka Miki was amazed by Homura Akemi's smooth operation, and even Madoka Kaname rubbed her eyes, as if she had seen a beautiful scene.

"Kyubey, is there anything else? If not, I'll leave."

"Okay, if you want to sign a contract with me, you can find me anytime."

It had dealt with humans for thousands of years and seen all kinds of people. It had never failed to sign a contract, and this time would be no exception. People like Homura Akemi, who possess such strong strength, are very ambitious. It believed that Homura Akemi would seek it out sooner or later.

As Kyubey disappeared, Miki Sayaka approached: "Classmate, what's your name? Which school are you from?"

"Me? My name is Homura Akemi, you can just call me Homura. I've only been in this city for a week, and I'm about to transfer to Mitakihara Middle School."

"Hey hey hey? A transfer student! My name is Miki Sayaka, just call me Sayaka. Her name is Kaname Madoka. We're both students at Mitakihara. Hehe~ Anyway, we're going to the same school, do you want to come with us?"

Kaname Madoka quickly added, "Just call me Madoka."

Although school was over, it remained open until 8 PM. Since Homura Akemi was a transfer student, there was no issue taking her around. But the real intent was not just to show her the school; she wanted to ask Homura Akemi how she became so impressive.

In terms of appearance, she couldn't compare with the beautiful girl in front of her, but if she could learn a trick, she might have a chance when encountering strange monsters like today. Appearing like a hero saving a beauty, without looking back at the explosion, every move of Homura Akemi made them feel excited and yearning. Especially Homura Akemi's confident aura made them admire her.

"Want to take a tour? Sure!"

Homura Akemi was also happy to make new friends. Since recovering from her illness, she felt full of confidence and had high expectations for her new school and campus life.

They were girls of the same age and quickly began chatting, heading to school together with laughter.

However, after they left, a blonde girl named Tomoe Mami arrived.

"Has the witch been eliminated? So quickly? I didn't sense any magical presence. Is it a magical girl I don't know?"

As she was about to leave, she turned suddenly, a rifle appearing in her hand aimed at a girl in the shadows.

"Who?"

A girl wearing a purple dress with a lotus hem, a white coat with short sleeves, a lavender shoulder cape, and black high-heeled knee-high boots emerged from the darkness. If Homura Akemi were there, she would be shocked to see another version of herself.

"I have no ill intentions," the other 'Homura Akemi' said to Mami Tomoe, not bothering to explain, and turned away.

There was a deviation. When the Rose Witch appeared, it was likely to trap Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki. At this time, Mami Tomoe would come to their rescue, and Kyubey would appear to contract them into magical girls.

But this time, she saw a scene that shocked herself. There was another version of her?

Why would another self appear in another timeline when her magic was clearly reversing time? Then who was she? What image should she live in this world with?

Her heart wavered. But fortunately, she remembered Madoka—the Madoka who needed her to save her.

"It seems that I didn't sign a contract, but this power..."

Homura Akemi sensed something watching her. Instantly, she stopped time and walked behind Kyubey. If there was another version of herself in this world, she should not show up and could not be observed by Kyubey.

Since the other self had a power she was unaware of, would she disrupt Madoka's intention to become a magical girl? Although there was another self in this world, if her goal was achieved, she was willing to live in the dark and protect herself and Madoka's lives.

But before that...

Homura Akemi looked at the white creature before her, took out her pistol, and fired several shots before leaving without looking back.

The originally expressionless eyes now held a flame called hope. No matter the reason, there were now two of her in this world. The other self had fighting skills that were not inferior to any magical girl. She would protect Madoka in this world, even if there was one more of her.

However, seeing herself and Madoka together, 'Homura Akemi' always had a strange feeling.

Chapter 134: Selling the Grief Seed

Mitakihara Junior High School was more fashionable and larger than Homura Akemi had imagined. After walking around with Sayaka Miki and Madoka Kaname, they drank some drinks and went home.

When Homura Akemi received the opening notice of the Internet cafe again the next day, she entered as soon as possible.

Today, she arrived earlier than everyone else and hurriedly took the Grief Seed to the front desk.

"I want to sell this."

Takashima Yuuna had learned how to trade from Liu Yuan, but when Homura Akemi took out the Grief Seed and prepared to trade, Takashima Yuuna received a notification of insufficient authority.

"Hey, hey, hey? What's going on?"

She had sold items brought by customers many times, and this was the first time such a prompt had appeared. She thought the system was malfunctioning, so she operated it again.

This time, the system gave a thoughtful reply:

"You don't have enough authority, please ask the boss to operate."

"Boss~ I can't sell this thing~"

On the side, Liu Yuan, who was planning to slack off today by playing Minecraft with Kisara, suddenly heard Takashima Yuuna shouting and hurriedly stood up.

"What's the matter? I've opened all your permissions; it's impossible that you don't have enough authority...Poof!"

Liu Yuan completely understood the reason for the lack of authority. Akemi Homura's operation was, in essence, selling people.

The Grief Seed are formed by a girl's soul due to despair. Essentially, it is still the girl's soul. As long as it is purified and the reversal program is used, it can be turned back to the original person.

The money given to Akemi Homura is not strictly speaking the purchase money but the hard work fee. In addition to the funds consumed for reversal and recovery, it takes about 20 million yen to restore a magical girl.

According to the system, it will not restore them for free. Before recovery, a contract will be signed with the other party. As long as the body is restored, it needs to work for the system for forty years until retirement. During this period, they will receive a monthly salary twice the average wage in their country, a 9-5-5 flexible working system, eight days off per month, and five insurances and one housing fund.

The price is that they cannot leave and cannot change jobs for forty years. If they want to change jobs, the system will considerately turn them back into Grief Seed.

This is why Takashima Yuuna does not have enough authority; someone needs to communicate with the internal consciousness, and only those who communicate successfully are truly worth one million yen.

However, this amount of money is a base. If the person who is reversed is a talent in a certain field, the value can be higher, and the salary offered by the system will be much higher.

According to the system, these magical girls have causality that are several times or even dozens of times stronger than ordinary people. If there was no Kyubey, they would at worst become senior executives of a company in the future. It is even possible for them to become internationally renowned figures or even saviors

The system said that it was a great profit to be able to use money to get a worker who is better than Liu Yuan.

In response, Liu Yuan felt that he was mocked by the system, even though he was working hard.

And the system said that people who work hard play Minecraft at work?

Liu Yuan took the Grief Seed and connected it to the deepest consciousness inside.

This was a dark world of consciousness. The girl curled up and stopped thinking. She was abandoned by the person she loved most, and the person she trusted most violated the "contract." She made a wish for others but became a witch alone.

She hated the person who broke the contract, hated this world, and hated everything here.

"What do you hate?"

Liu Yuan's voice made the silent world become hideous in an instant. In order to protect the master, the "familiar" attacked Liu Yuan. Facing these attacks, Liu Yuan sighed: "Hey, wake up~ wake up~"

While speaking, Liu Yuan gave the girl in front of him a few big pokes, which gradually woke her from her deep sleep.

Although she had no body, the girl felt her face hurt. She looked at the person who appeared in her consciousness world in confusion: "Who are you? Why are you here, and what am I...doing?"

"Just one question, do you want to live?"

"Yes."

"Okay, the contract is established."

"Ah???"

The black-haired girl looked at Liu Yuan in confusion, and Liu Yuan snapped his fingers and left this world.

When the girl said she wanted to live, his work was done.

The originally dark world gradually faded away, and she remembered everything. She saw the wish she and Kyubey made, and she knew that she almost killed innocent passers-by when she became a witch.

Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly found herself in a strange world.

The woman in front of her had beautiful long golden hair, wore a green coat and a red shirt, shorts, and had one red and one gold eye. You will never forget the kind of eyes you see at first sight.

"Lord God?"

"Well~ I prefer you to call me the God of Games~ Girl! Are you willing to sign a contract with me and become a worker? I recruit all kinds of talents here~"

Liu Yuan didn't know what the Rose Witch had experienced. He only knew that at the moment when the other party wanted to live, the transaction between the Internet cafe and Homura Akemi was completed. The front desk put away the Grief Seed, and Homura Akemi had one million more.

Homura Akemi did not recharge all the money but kept about half and transferred it to her own card.

Five hundred thousand is an astronomical figure for Homura Akemi. She wanted to use this money to supplement the family expenses and buy some new clothes for her mom and dad before they came back. For herself, she hadn't bought new clothes for a long time.

When talking about the past with her parents, her dad said that her mom was very fashionable back then and always bought brand-name cosmetics and bags. Her mom even joked that her dad always liked to play games and bought a lot of model figures before she was born.

Now that she is well and has money, buying a gift for her mom and dad is what she wants to do most.

When Homura Akemi got on the seat, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "What a cruel world..."

"Yeah! By the way, boss, that black thing is so valuable."

Liu Yuan nodded: "Let me ask you a question, how much money can a normal company manager make in his lifetime if he is not fired?"

"If it's her country, considering the years, tens of millions of yen a year is easy, right ...Wait?"

Kisara is not stupid. When Liu Yuan said this, she guessed what the Grief Seed was. Liu Yuan nodded: "Just like you thought, it's a big profit, but the training cost and initial psychological counseling take a little time~ But once it's done, the loyalty is extremely high! And don't think they have a hard life; they may have an easier life than you when they are free."

"I envy them! But boss, won't you tell me the truth?"

Liu Yuan touched his chin and thought: "No, don't you think it's the most fun to wait until the number of people reaches a certain level and these girls recover, and then go back to take revenge on Kyubey during the holidays?"

Kisara: "Take me with you to eat melons."

Takashima Yuuna on the side also raised her hand: "I want to watch it too."

Chapter 135: The Real Way to Defeat the Mimic Tear

Minecraft did bring earth-shaking changes to Yoshida Saki and Akemi Homura, but gradually, they realized that the power of Minecraft alone seemed insufficient.

Yes, the Minecraft world is very magical. If you add the Endless Greed or Titan mods, the power will soar to a terrifying level.

But the problem is that these take a long time, and during this period, they can slowly play Minecraft while trying other games. But which game to play made them fall into contemplation.

The two decided to ask others for advice. Upon getting up and finding that Tanjiro Kamado was not playing games, Akemi Homura approached him.

"Kamado-senpai, if I want to become stronger, do you have any recommendations?"

"Hey? Games? Let me think about it!"

Tanjiro was not idle, but communicating with Minato Namikaze through TT. When he heard the question, he focused his attention.

After thinking for a long time, he recommended: "If you want firearms, you can play Rainbow Six and Resident Evil. Among them, Resident Evil has the fastest weapon acquisition speed. You can get sniper rifles and assault rifles directly by playing Chris's storyline in the sixth game. If you want to improve your own strength, I recommend Elden Ring, especially the Mimic Tear. You must get it."

The Mimic Tear has now become standard for all players.

Maybe because of different purposes, the first game Liu Yuan recommends might not be Elden Ring, but as each guest reaches a high initial completion, when they need to improve, this game is the most suitable choice.

The reason is that the upper limit of this game is too high. There are all kinds of magic, combat skills, weapons, and equipment. There are ways to deal with souls, monsters, and even gods. Whether it is hunting gods, the knife used by Ranni to kill Godwyn, or the Greater Runes, you can grow to a terrifying height.

Considering that everyone's talent and energy are limited, then running the Ranni sidequests quickly and getting a Mimic Tear is definitely the best choice. The Mimic Tear can even show where your potential lies and in which direction you should develop. After analysis and confirmation by a group of veterans, this item can be said to be a must-have prop.

There is even a popular saying about Elden Ring: "The ruler should be called Elden Lord and his bell-shaking tool man."

That's right, a few people who played the game did not use anything except the Mimic Tear to clear the game, and the rest just sat in the corner watching big brother's performance. Except for Malenia, the Mimic Tear almost killed the entire Lands Between.

And even if it was Malenia, Liu Yuan, Fujimaru Kaede, and Schwi's Mimic Tear all completed solo kills.

Yes, the big brother killed Malenia alone. Especially Fujimaru Kaede, who sat in the corner, clapping and drinking Coke.

After everyone's suggestions, both of them bought this game and prepared to start their strategy.

They were lucky. Tanjiro was also strategizing this game now, and under the guidance of Minato Namikaze, he knew how to quickly obtain the Mimic Tear, so as a senior, he began to teach the juniors how to cheat and pass the game quickly.

If you just want to get the Mimic Tear, you don't need to do all the Ranni quest at all, because you can run all the way to get the ashes after killing General Radahn. However, because this set of procedures overlaps with Ranni's side quest, everyone will first accept the side quest and kill Radahn.

When there were few people in the Internet cafe, everyone could only solo it by themselves, but as more and more people passed the level, the boss Radahn could also be asked for co-op.

Newcomers like Homura Akemi and Saki Yoshida directly asked for help to kill Radahn.

Then they fought all the way to the Eternal City and met the strongest boss in the game, Mimic Tear.

Why is it the strongest? Because the Mimic Tear copies all the skills, weapons, and equipment of the enemy. Except for Liu Yuan and Kisara, the rest of the people who fought the Mimic Tear were taught a lesson.

So far, the guests of the Internet cafe have not discovered the cheating method. Because everyone's ideas are relatively simple, and Liu Yuan doesn't intervene if the guests have no problems, he didn't pay much attention to how everyone passed the boss.

Moreover, those who can beat the Mimic Tear after such a long time are more or less talented, and the big brother in the game mode still has his IQ reduced, so basically, everyone can pass.

But there was a little surprise today. Yoshida Saki, an ordinary girl with only a little more combat experience than an office worker, was beaten by herself and got stuck.

"Homura, how about yours?"

"I passed it! It was still very easy. It can't take Crimson Tears, but I can, and it was killed quickly."

Tanjiro encouraged from the side: "That's right! In normal game mode, the Mimic Tear as a boss will only mindlessly copy a few moves you can use, but it is very powerful after being summoned."

Tanjiro recalled fighting himself. Because it was in game mode, he couldn't carry his own weapons and props, so he had a thrilling duel with himself. In the end, relying on his ability to drink Tears and smell the weakness of the Mimic Tear, he won with one sword.

But Yoshida Saki is not like that. She was brought here all the way. Her equipment and props are good, but her real fighting skills might not even beat three wolves.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan asked curiously: "What's wrong? Stuck?"

"Well! Boss, do you have any way to easily defeat the Mimic Tear?"

"Yes!"

Liu Yuan pointed at Yoshida Saki: "In the game, you take off all your equipment and go in, then summon three wolves to sit and watch."

"?"

"?"

"?"

Not only the three of them, but even Elf and Kumoko took off their glasses subconsciously.

"Boss, what did you say?"

"How can we fight like this? The opponent can copy all your attributes."

The Mimic Tear can be a nightmare for many people. If the enemy is strong, just improve yourself. But the Mimic Tear is strong even if you are strong. If you are weak, it is still strong.

It is recognized that only by defeating yourself can you defeat the Mimic Tear. Although the way to defeat yourself in the game is simple, it does not hinder its difficulty.

Especially Namikaze Minato, who was the most miserable in the real difficulty, summoned the first and second generations at the beginning and fought several thrilling battles with himself. In the end, he broke through himself in the battle and completed the real sense of the Flying Thunder God before defeating the opponent.

"Yes! So it's very simple, you take off all your equipment and go in. Wait for it to copy your attributes and then put on your equipment. At this time, the Mimic Tear will not copy your attributes."

With this explanation, everyone understood how shameless Liu Yuan's fighting method was.

Liu Yuan continued: "As for the game, whether it is a realism mode or game mode, cheesing bosses in various ways is also the charm of the game."

Liu Yuan is a serious player. Generally speaking, he likes to play a game step by step for the first time and skip classes for the second time, even using various taboo powers.

Chapter 136: Tarnished Fujimaru in the Divine Realm of the Round Table

The latest way to defeat the Mimic Tear was spreading among players through word of mouth, and at this moment, everyone was silent.

Those who fought the Mimic Tear believed it to be a test of self-mastery, where they had to defeat themselves to obtain the ashes of the Mimic Tear.

The result... is this?

Some even tried it a second time, and it really worked: take off your clothes, enter, wait for the opponent to copy your attributes, then put on a set of equipment.

This highlights the word "shameless."

However, Fujimaru Kaede argued that this fighting method was perfectly valid.

The battle is a competition of one's own strength, wisdom, and strategy. This is considered wisdom and strategy; how can it be shameless?

In her room, Fujimaru Kaede was excitedly chatting in a group through TT, constantly expressing her opinions: "This is the real game."

"Cheesing! Cheese is the way to go. I will cheese no matter what in the next singularity!"

"No, I will skip classes after I have robbed everything."

Since the burning of human order, Fujimaru Kaede had experienced five singularities. It is also the Heroic Spirits of these singularities that provide enough funds for the existing masters of Chaldea to go online.

Just...

Mash came to Fujimaru Kaede's room at this time, knocked on the door, and walked in: "Senpai, the doctor said that the latest singularity has been discovered. We are ready to set off."

"Hey? Can I make money again?"

Fujimaru Kaede licked the corner of her mouth, becoming a little excited. She had snatched the sword of the Rose Emperor, the gun of the Great Pirate, and even the staff and clothes of Medea Lily.

Why are there so many Heroic Spirits in Chaldea now despite Kaede and the Masters have inhuman capabilities granted by the Internet Cafe?

They are completely looking for an opportunity to get revenge on Fujimaru Kaede!

Look, after the new singularity was discovered, Doctor Romani commissioned Mash to hint to Fujimaru Kaede to be more civilized.

"Well, no, the doctor said that the Heroic Spirits in this singularity seem to be very strong, and he wants you to be more careful."

"It's okay~"

Fujimaru Kaede patted her chest: "You protect Ritsuka, and leave the rest to me. I'll tell you, I'm super strong now!"

Fujimaru Kaede is not a stingy person. She had pulled all the masters to the Internet cafe, even inviting Romani. So far, Fujimaru Kaede has shown particularly good talent.

She has now cleared the realism difficultly of Elden Ring eight times, but except for Ryougi Mana and Mash, the others have only barely cleared the normal difficulty. Their strength is the same as the original Fujimaru Kaede, but it is completely incomparable to the current one.

Because the current Fujimaru Kaede is the real Elden Lord.

At the same time, the other masters, even Mash, have a little sense of reason.

Knowing that you can't just rob people of their weapons, Fujimaru Kaede...

Well, at least she can still tell who is a teammate and who is an enemy. So far, Fujimaru Kaede hasn't even touched Jalter's spear, but all her teammates' weapons have been returned. Of course, if you join a little later and your weapons are sold, it's really too late.

For this, Fujimaru Kaede is not ashamed but proud.

"Don't worry, Mash! You and Ritsuka advance boldly on the front lines, and I will attack from behind. Let me grab some more weapons and equipment, so that we can play games online in peace in the next few years. By the way, how are you learning to counterattack?"

"I can handle any scene skillfully."

"That's fine~ Let's go! Since the doctor asked you to call me, it proves that the soul transfer is about to begin."

Fujimaru Kaede took Mash's hand and strode forward.

In the central control room, Romani drank coffee and asked Da Vinci beside him: "Didn't you plan to follow? Why didn't you go?"

Da Vinci also drank coffee and said: "Because I have a bad feeling."

At this moment, Romani was silent. After seeing the increasingly lawless Fujimaru Kaede appear, he said helplessly: "But we must admit that Fujimaru Kaede plays a very important role."

Beating up Heroic Spirits and tearing up Demon God Pillars. In some ways, Fujimaru Kaede's role is greater than that of Heroic Spirits. Even Scathach praised Fujimaru Kaede as a genius who found her own direction.

Geniuses are not rare in this world. But there are too few geniuses who can survive and find their own direction.

"They are all here, let's start the rayshift."

"Yes!"

The rayshift began, the familiar process, ...and familiar separation from the main force.

Fujimaru Kaede looked at the Gobi desert around her and then at the scorching sun in the sky, which reminded her of the days drifting on the sea.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash were teleported to a ship and met a beautiful big sister.

What about herself? After swimming in the sea for a few days, she encountered a living Heroic Spirit and made it into a boat to drift on the sea.

"Woo, woo, why do you treat me like this, what did I do wrong!"

Fujimaru Kaede shouted at the sky, but the Gobi Desert only responded with the scorching sun and the approaching sandstorm.

"Jijijiji! Run, run."

It was not suitable to stay here for long. Fujimaru Kaede got up and ran, but before she ran a few steps, she saw a man in armor holding a red longbow waving at her.

"There is hope~"

Fujimaru Kaede ran towards the man, and when she reached him, she looked at the weapon in the hands of the great hero named Arash. It looked like an ordinary bow and arrow, worth only a few dozen credits.

"Tsk."

"Huh?"

Arash didn't understand why Fujimaru Kaede showed a disgusted expression. Was there anything rude about him?

"Sorry~ I just thought of something bad. My name is Fujimaru Kaede, the savior of human reason. You are a heroic spirit, right? What's your name?"

During this time, Fujimaru Kaede had studied the knowledge of various heroes in history. She could recognize most of the heroes.

"Me? Arash~ Miss, the sandstorm is coming soon, come with me."

"Okay~"

Fujimaru Kaede happily agreed, and at the same time, she quickly recalled the experiences of Arash, the hero. The great hero in ancient Persian legend, the hero who ended the war with his own body.

Looking at his weapon, it should be a bow. If the weapon itself is not a treasure, could it be!!

Fujimaru Kaede turned to look at Arash's body. The 1 million on it made her swallow her saliva.

"Slurp!"

This is the most valuable treasure she has seen in a long time. She now considered whether she could tie Arash up and sell him.

However, her idea was rejected by the portable system. The Internet cafe only trades goods, not people. The Grief Seed is also considered an item because it contains will. In the absence of reversal, the Grief Seed is considered an item.

"Ah."

In just a few seconds, Arash felt the murderous intent, greed, pity, and finally a return to normal in Fujimaru Kaede.

At this moment, he also smiled. When Fujimaru Kaede appeared, Hassan in the village saw her. Hassan thought Fujimaru Kaede was not a good person because her aura seemed to be the embodiment of malice, making him tremble.

But Arash felt Fujimaru Kaede's aura was a little chaotic. He had seen many similar people when he was alive. Whether these people walked the right path or became villains depended entirely on their experiences.

Arash felt that Fujimaru Kaede could still be saved.

Chapter 137: Fujimaru Kaede's Heaven-Falling Justice

In the village, Fujimaru Kaede was eating dough. How should she put it? The dry dough was not delicious, but it was quite unique and filling.

Although she got separated from the main group, she had TT. This free software provided by the Internet cafe does cost money for cross-world communication, but communication within the same world is free.

Fujimaru Kaede: "Ritsuka, where are you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Desert."

Mash: "Senpai, where are you? Senpai, don't steal the Noble Phantasm of friendly Heroic Spirits."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "In a village. There's a Heroic Spirit named Arash here, who is a very nice person. Don't worry, am I that kind of person?"

At this moment, TT was silent.

Obviously, everyone knew what kind of person Fujimaru Kaede was.

To the enemy, she was simply the embodiment of evil.

Jalter, on the other hand, opened the topic and said directly: "Master, according to the information of the unknown Heroic Spirit, there is a holy city in this direction, full of knights. These knightly equipment should be very valuable."

"Oh? Jalter, are you ready?"

"Of course!"

"Let's go!"

Jalter, who followed the large group, left the team directly at this moment. She is Fujimaru Kaede's Heroic Spirit, and she particularly likes the character of her own master.

Sloppy development? Cautious? Not at all, just one word: reckless!

If you can beat them, burn them. If you can't beat them? Ask the master to rob them.

"Everyone! Thank you for taking me in. I have something I must do now. This is my thank you; please accept it!"

Fujimaru Kaede took out a large basket of fruits picked in Monster Hunter World, and then went straight to the holy city without saying much.

Looking at Fujimaru Kaede, who suddenly left, Arash was stunned for a moment and then smiled at Hassan, who suddenly appeared beside him, and said: "See, I said she is not a bad person."

Water is scarce in their village, and fruits are even more unthinkable. This large basket of fruit is a luxury for the whole village.

But Fujimaru Kaede ran back after just a few steps: "Um... everyone, is there any faster means of transportation in the village? The faster the better?"

"Fast?"

Arash thought of something and said with a smile: "If you can bear it, I do have a special Noble Phantasm, but it's a little dangerous."

"It's okay to be fast, I'm very strong."

Arash agreed with this statement. He could feel Fujimaru Kaede's body, strong enough to wrestle with him. If it was such a strong body, then this method should work.

Then Fujimaru Kaede witnessed the special Noble Phantasm from the great hero Arash. Sitting on the table, she felt the hurricane beside her and looked at the earth moving farther and farther away from her expressionlessly.

At this moment, she thought of Arash's legend. Combined with the fact that his body was a Noble Phantasm, she was sure that Arash's Noble Phantasm was to shoot himself out, and she was experiencing Arash's refreshing airlines.

"The speed is so fast~~~"

One person and one table were launched at full power. Now Fujimaru Kaede felt that she could fly out to the universe!

As she advanced at high speed in the air, she soon saw a huge and glorious town. There were hundreds of fully armed knights guarding the town, and a group of refugees outside the town were heading towards the Holy City. At the same time, Jalter, who was hurrying on the ground, also saw Fujimaru Kaede flying in the sky.

"As expected of my Master, she actually used this method, which is so exciting!"

At this time, the Holy City was carrying out the Holy Selection Ceremony, in which the Lion King selected the purest and most kind people from the refugees to enter the town.

This time, a total of five suitable candidates were selected from nearly a thousand refugees. As for the unsuitable people, they were not pure and kind, and there was only one result waiting for them: execution by the Knights.

The killing began, and Fujimaru Kaede squinted in the sky at this time, watching the bloody massacre appear below.

"Ah? Isn't this a holy city? The holy city still allows discriminate killing of ordinary people?"

At the same time, she noticed that the Mimic Tear could be used here. It was strange that there was a group of heroes in the village just now, but she couldn't use ashes. There were all civilians here, but they could be summoned from high in the sky.

"Forget it, forget it, come out, big brother!!"

Fujimaru Kaede in the air shook the summoning bell, and gray liquid dripped from the bell. The Mimic Tear turned into the form of Fujimaru Kaede and jumped down without any hesitation.

At this moment, flames appeared on the bodies of both Fujimaru Kaede and the Mimic Tear.

This is a skill that Fujimaru Kaede made by herself with the reward given by the system after becoming the Elden Lord. This skill has only been used once in the first attempt, and there has been no chance to use it since.

This move is a copy of Radahn's unique gravity manipulation magic skill, turning himself into a star and crashing to the ground.

At this moment, the knights on the ground felt the power in the sky.

The Lion King looked up at the sky, but the speed of Fujimaru Kaede and the Mimic Tear was so fast that the Lion King had no time to use the Noble Phantasm.

There were two loud bangs, and the two walls around the surrounded civilians collapsed directly, and the collapsed bricks paved a road for the civilians to escape.

"Hey~ I feel dizzy. I have to be more careful next time..."

It was the first time that Fujimaru Kaede used this skill seriously in reality. She felt dizzy. She looked at the status of the Mimic.

It was in very good condition. It had even started fighting.

The Enforcer Knights had already started killing civilians, but because of Fujimaru Kaede's collision, the civilians had a chance to escape.

For these civilians, Fujimaru Kaede had no interest at all. All of them together were not as valuable as the armor of the Enforcer Knights.

"You have health bars, you are enemies, and your equipment is mine~"

Fujimaru Kaede held the staff in her left hand and took out the famous sword Moonveil in her right hand.

As the staff was waved, a nebula appeared in the sky. With the appearance of the nebula, a magnificent 'Rain of Stars' fell from the sky.

It looked like an AoE attack, but these attacks accurately hit the knights who were killing on the ground and bypassed the surrounding civilians.

A large number of knights fell to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown. Gawain, a Knight of the Round Table, waved his weapon and the nebula was dispersed.

"What?"

Fujimaru Kaede was stunned for a moment, but when she looked around, she suddenly found something wrong. There were a total of five boss health bars around? And it seemed that they were all high-level bosses, not the kind that could be easily deflected like the Crucible Knight.

"Oh no! There are many bosses in front!"

Fujimaru Kaede took out the golden finger and left a message almost instantly, and then shouted loudly: "Big brother! There are many people, relying on you."

The Mimic Tear on the other side walked out of the dust, looking at the three knights around and the Lion King not far away, and silently raised its middle finger to Fujimaru Kaede.

It has confidence even if it fights two Malenias, but there are so many bosses on the scene, it's useless to fight a lose-lose battle.

But who made him big brother? The big brother must show the momentum of a big brother.

It slowly drew out Rivers of Blood. As one of the players who passed the real mode, Fujimaru Kaede, it reproduced several skills that Liu Yuan personally demonstrated.

Waterfowl Dance: Oceans of Blood, Corpse Piler Version.

At this moment, blood enveloped the entire city gate. The Mimic Tear jumped into the air and made the starting action of a fluttering waterfowl. The powerful burst of energy made everyone focus on the Mimic Tear.

The surrounding civilians, including Fujimaru Kaede herself, were preparing to run away while they were on guard against the Mimic Tear.

But before running away, Fujimaru Kaede stripped all the armor and weapons of the surrounding upright knights and carried them on her back to run away.

It was impossible to intercept it, but it was daytime when Gawain was invincible. But when facing the Mimic Tear with the power to kill gods, if he was distracted, he would be severely injured.

The heroic spirit had to focus on this, but this was exactly what Fujimaru Kaede planned.

Because the Mimic Tear was not staring at them at all, but at their horses.

Chapter 138 Greedy Fujimaru

Fujimaru Kaede was well aware of the strength of these Heroic Spirits. Even though she had become the Elden Lord, changed her weapons, equipment, and skills, her physical fitness was only sufficient to tear apart third-rate or even second-rate Heroic Spirits.

Facing top-tier Heroic Spirits like Arash or Gawain one-on-one, she might be able to win, but in a one-on-many situation, it was a different story.

Running was inevitable, but her short legs and the massacre of civilians by these people gave Fujimaru Kaede an idea: kill their horses.

Without horses, the knights in heavy armor couldn’t catch up, and the Heroic Spirits would just be waiting to be pursued.

"Don't run!" Gawain drew his weapon, the Holy Sword of the Sun. With this weapon, he was almost invincible during the day, and almost no Heroic Spirit could defeat Gawain in daylight.

He wanted to intercept the disruptor of the Holy Selection Ceremony and complete the Lion King's mission, but before he could act, the Mimic Tear rushed up directly. Fujimaru Kaede raised her middle finger: "Do you think I'm stupid? As a Tarnished, I'm not good at fighting multiple enemies. Goodbye, brother. Use your ultimate move; I'll take the people away first."

At that moment, the Mimic Tear leaped into the sky, capturing the attention of all the heroes and knights in the city. Fujimaru Kaede saw that the surrounding civilians had evacuated and ran out right after them.

Previously, the civilians were tied up at the city wall, and when Fujimaru Kaede and the Mimic Tear simultaneously turned into meteorites, they smashed the city wall. Now, with the civilians and Fujimaru Kaede able to evacuate, the Mimic Tear had no reason to hold back.

Scarlet Rot Incantation·Scarlet Ionia

This was the flower released at the beginning of the second phase of Malenia, but bigger and more terrifying. When the Mimic Tear jumped into the air, the Lion King, who had not taken action before, activated her Noble Phantasm.

The golden star-like light struck the Mimic Tear, but it was too late. Red flowers bloomed on the earth, and scarlet rot, so potent that even gods had to retreat, spread through the Holy City.

Outside the Holy City, Fujimaru Kaede felt the scarlet rot behind her. Without even turning her head, Fujimaru Kaede urged the civilians who had spontaneously grouped together: "Everyone, run in this direction quickly. There is a village where people will take you in. You can survive there. I will cover you."

Ahead, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had received Fujimaru Kaede's message, hurriedly ran in their direction.

Killing civilians in the Holy City might be doubted if said by outsiders, but coming from a companion, it must be true.

Fujimaru Kaede might beat up Heroic Spirits, rob Noble Phantasms, and even steal the doctor's coffee, but she never lied or exaggerated.

Fortunately, their teammates were there to support; otherwise, the wild monsters alone would have killed all the civilians.

Meanwhile, the Mimic Tear had dissipated before the Holy Spear hit it, but the scarlet rot it caused incapacitated a large number of Knight Enforcers and even inflicted varying degrees of damage on the Heroic Spirits.

"She is an unclean person, destroy her." This power disgusted the Lion King to her core. She wanted to completely eradicate its source. For this, she dispatched all the Knights of the Round Table with a single mission: to kill Fujimaru Kaede, to eliminate this unclean being.

Fujimaru Kaede didn't know this yet, but based on past singularities' experiences, she was sure that causing such a commotion would make her the Holy City's target. In this case...

Her plan was complete!

She was very greedy. Seeing civilians, she wanted to save them. Seeing the knights' equipment, she wanted to seize it, especially the Sun Holy Sword in Gawain's hand. The value of this Noble Phantasm made her drool.

Apart from Arash's body, this Noble Phantasm was the most valuable. The price in the Internet cafe exceeded 100,000 for just one Noble Phantasm. She had barely made that much before by robbing a group of heroes' weapons and Noble Phantasms.

Now, one item could be worth this much, and her greed was almost tangible. If converted into Japanese yen, more than 2 million yen would be enough for her to play for several years.

It's a pity the system evaluated the Holy Spear in the Lion King's hands as non-tradable, or she would have wanted to snatch it.

Although valuable, the problem was Gawain's immense strength, and the other Knights of the Round Table were no pushovers either. She needed to use a bit of strategy to steal his weapon.

A head-on battle might draw other Heroic Spirits, and failing to steal the sword and getting caught would be disastrous.

While she was devising her strategy, a message from Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived on TT.

"We found the Holy Grail and sought external help to aid us."

Fujimaru Kaede asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

"He acknowledges strength, and Mash and I defeated him."

"Very good! The combined firepower saved many people. See if you can ask them to send someone to rescue the civilians. I'm going to poke their nest."

Fujimaru Kaede had synchronized what the Holy City had done with everyone. The other two forces were aware of the city's actions but couldn't attack the extremely powerful Lion King.

Let alone them, even Fujimaru Kaede couldn't guarantee safety under the siege of several Heroic Spirits. For the Tarnished, killing wild monsters might be as easy as killing chickens, but facing a boss, especially multiple bosses with different attack styles, was not something to be taken lightly.

"But although the sword is valuable, I want the spear more."

Fujimaru Kaede narrowed her eyes, contemplating her next move. Through brief contact, she had identified her opponents. If they were Knights of the Round Table, they could be defeated one by one.

Coincidentally, she recognized most of these Knights of the Round Table. The one with purple hair should be Lancelot. She had seen Berserker Lancelot, so she remembered his features. The one in armor covering her face was Mordred. She and Mordred had a very good relationship in London, but she hadn't expected them to become enemies now.

"It seems she doesn't remember me. In that case, sorry, Mordred~~"

On the necessary path of pursuit, Jalter had been lying in ambush for a long time.

When the pursuing knights appeared, flames imprisoned Mordred.

"Hey~ thief!"

"?"

At that moment, Mordred got angry.

Mordred was irritable, proud, and very rebellious. She could tolerate taunts during the mission, but not when they were this blatant.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"You can't catch up with me~"

"Damn it! Don't run if you dare."

Mordred chased after her.

Except for the heroic horse under King Arthur, all the other biological horses in the city were killed by the Oceans of Blood(Rivers of Blood buffed version) from the Mimic Tear.

They didn't have horses, but Jalter did.

All the spectral steed that had been through the standard Elden Ring were precious to the Tarnished. Many spectral steed had climbed mountains and waded through rivers, with wild bosses slain by their riders.

But Jalter had a horse, and Mordred’s speed was not negligible. With a burst of magic, she sprinted and chased after her.

"Mordred!" Lancelot in the team wanted to call her back, but Tristan rejected the idea: "We can't stop him, and his presence doesn't affect the mission."

Their mission was simply to locate Fujimaru Kaede, and once found, their king would naturally deal with her.

Before, they couldn't kill the strongest of the two invaders with full force, but their king could easily kill the remaining one.

Chapter 139: The Destined Death Bestowed Upon the Lion King

After running only a few kilometers, Jalter stopped.

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to stick to me like chewing gum.”

“Stop talking nonsense and die! Today is the day you die.”

When Mordred saw Jalter stop, she raised her sword and struck. However, facing her attack, Jalter only smiled, “No, today is the day you die.”

Jalter had followed Kaede to the fourth singularity and defeated powerful enemies alongside Mordred. The strength of this servant had made Jalter wary. If it were the first singularity, Mordred would probably kill her in a few moves. But now...

Jalter replaced the weapon in her hand with the Bolt of Granssax, a spear cut from the weapon of the great ancient dragon.

While the fight broke out here, the group that was chasing was stopped again. This time, it was Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash who intercepted them. The power borrowed from Raji was not brought here but used to protect civilians during the transfer.

As the saviors of humanity, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash could not watch innocent civilians being killed. To protect those civilians, they stood up. However, they were not the only ones who intercepted the pursuers; the great hero Arash also joined them. When patrolling today, he had met an old man who said the Holy City was killing civilians, and those civilians were being rescued by a girl who was launched in the air..

Arash, upon learning this, used a special method to fly to the scene. As a legendary hero, he could not sit idly by and watch such atrocities.

Especially after witnessing Fujimaru Kaede's chaotic behavior, he believed that guiding Fujimaru Kaede onto the right path was his purpose in this world.

Thus, Lancelot, Gawain, and Tristan were intercepted. They could not call upon the Lion King to attack at this time because Fujimaru Kaede had begun her assault on the Holy City.

“Hahaha, although Gawain’s Noble Phantasm is very valuable, I, Fujimaru Kaede, don’t lack money!!!”

Fujimaru Kaede's eyes flashed with greed. Since entering the Internet cafe, Fujimaru Kaede seemed to have liberated her nature and become more and more free. Stealing Noble Phantasms and selling them for money was justified as a means to improve her strength and save humanity.

Fujimaru Kaori knew that in the auxiliary system’s money judgment on her body, the worthless ones were only judged as zero, while the rest were valued according to their worth. But the Holy Spear was deemed untradeable, which proved it was a bound and very collectible weapon. How could she let it go? She was determined to collect this weapon.

She devised a simple battle plan: the hot-tempered Jalter would engage the hot-tempered Mordred, while Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, the turtle-shell combination, would handle the remaining Heroic Spirits, allowing her to face the Lion King.

In the Holy City, the sudden appearance of Fujimaru Kaori made Artoria take off her mask.

“Savior of human reason, are you going to stop me? I...”

“Stop!” Fujimaru Kaede immediately interrupted. “Stop, stop, stop. I’m too lazy to listen to your convoluted theories. I only know one thing: your spear is a Noble Phantasm, your armor is a Noble Phantasm, and your horse is also a Noble Phantasm.”

“Rude!”

“It’s not a big deal, King! See you in Chaldea.”

Fujimaru Kaede took out the Spirit Calling Bell again. But as she was about to ring it, she sensed danger and rolled away instinctively, dodging a powerful attack.

“Like the Black Knife Assassins, you prefer sneak attacks? Don’t worry!”

This time, Fujimaru Kaede walked while shaking the bell.

With the sound of the bell, it wasn’t the Mimic Tear that appeared but the Black Knife Assasin-Tiche.

Fujimaruka calmly took out the small round shield and Maliketh's Black Blade, and the playful expression on her face was gone.

“You are very strong, so strong that even if I summon another one, I’m not sure I can win.”

The appearance of the Black Knife Assassin made the king before her serious.

Black Knife Assassin Tiche, one of the assassins who participated in the Day of the Black Knives, the group responsible for killing Godwin the Gold. Although she died in the Royal Capital in the end, her strength was unquestionable.

“Kill her!”

The Mimic Tear is definitely the most useful among the ashes. It replicates all her own stats and fully unleashes her strength.

However, when her own strength has been fully tapped, the advantage of the Mimic Tear may not be as significant as the ashes like Black Knife Assassin Tiche and or the Albinaurics Duo and Latenna.

After a detailed understanding, she determined that the Lion King had a very strong immortality, and it was not an exaggeration to say she was god-like among Gods.

However, the Tarnished are not afraid of gods.

Maliketh’s Black Blade Ash of War, Destined Death, directly reduces the maximum health limit when hitting the enemy. The Black Knife Assassin Ash also has this effect, and the black knife's attack can also deal damage according to ones Max HP.

Although she can summon the Mimic Tear with the black knife, she has tested it.

Her own speed is not comparable to the speed and reaction speed of the Black Knife Assassin Tiche.

When fighting a boss like this, replacing the spirit ashes is the best choice.

“The legendary lion king who gave up the holy sword and used the holy spear? Today I will give you destined death.”

This sentence had been on Fujimaruka's mind for a long time.

When heading for the Frenzied Flame, Melina, this piece of wood, said she would give her Destined Death. The destined death waiting for her did not appear for so long, but she was ready to use destined death on others.

Normally speaking, this King Arthur is almost immortal with the blessing of the Holy Spear. But when the fight really started, the Lion king found that her life was slipping away, and she lost the blessings of Immortality.

For the Lion King, Fujimaru Kaede's fighting style is very strange. Every time she attacks, she is blocked by the opponent. At the moment when she block causes her body for some reason to pause, the woman in black goes around behind her and cuts her waist.

In this state, she can’t dodge, let alone fight back.

She can only watch herself being attacked.

As she was attacked more and more, she found herself being weakened and unable to continue.

She tried to use her Noble Phantasm, shining in the Spear of the End. However, at the moment when she was about to release the Noble Phantasm, the Black Knife went around behind her and cut her kidney. At the same time, Fujimaru struck her down, knocking her off balance, and the Noble Phantasm was forcibly interrupted.

This is why Kaede summoned the Black Knife. Let's not talk about its strength for now. As long as the opponent charges up any long winded moves, they will find opportunities to interrupt. Fujimaru has a deep understanding of the behavior of cutting the kidney.

Before challenging Malenia, you need to light a bonfire. When you light the bonfire, there will be a sneak attack by the Black Knife assassin. It was very unpleasant to be cut by this gang of people at the beginning. Godwyn probably felt this way. This time, others finally experience this unpleasantness. The Black Knife Assassins cut the kidney without anesthesia.

The Lion King is very strong, but her combat sense is much worse than that of Saber Artoria, as she became a god. She is the remains of Artoria after her death. She knows the power of the King of Demons, so she wants to use the Holy Spear to protect the last spark of humanity, but now she finds that there may still be hope for humanity. It's just that this hope is a little unreliable, and she cuts people's waist with another guy who is similar to a heroic spirit...

More importantly, although she rides a horse, she is a humanoid monster. Who is the powerful enemy among humanoids? Malenia! Malenia is very strong, everyone's nightmare.

But Malenia, if you play a game, there is a very stupid way to defeat it, summon the Mimic Tear, and two people use the Swarm of Flies at the same time. Because the humanoid monster is very fragile, her attack is very easy to interrupt.

The body of the Lion King gradually withered, and the Holy Spear could not protect her from the destined death's erosion.

At this moment, she put down her weapon. Kaede quickly grabbed the Holy Spear, and the Lion King took off her mask.

"You are strong, but you can't defeat the powerful enemy in the next singularity. I hope this holy spear can be lent to you. Your enemy in the next singularity will be..."

She turned into golden light and dissipated. However, in the process of dissipating, she imagined the scene of the Goetia being stabbed in the kindey, and she showed an expectant smile at the last moment.

But Fujimaru Kaede was stunned: "Wait! Don't be a riddle man! Hey? Why is my body glowing?"

With the death of the Lion King and the transfer of the holy spear, this singularity was repaired quickly. The speed of repair was so fast that Romani didn’t have time to drink tea before the singularity ended.

With the end of the singularity, the Internet cafe opened again. Fujimaru Kaoru came to the front desk holding the indestructible Lake Light, the brilliant and shining King Sword, the Holy Sword of the Sun, and a lot of weapons and equipment of the Knights of the Round Table.

"Jibril! Selling equipment!"

"Come on~"

Jibril came to the front desk and asked excitedly: "Whose house did you rob again?"

"Some very powerful Heroic Spirits. This time it’s not just my credit."

Just as she said this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash behind her turned their heads and looked away.

At the same time in the Throne of Heroes, Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan, and Mordred looked at the IOU and felt bad. According to the description on the IOU, if they didn’t pay back the money, their weapons would be gone. Although they didn’t know where the IOU came from, they could only pay it back honestly.

Chapter 140: New Game Terraria

Branch, inside the room.

After completing the daily turnover, Liu Yuan looked at the more than one million funds in the system and began to study what to add next.

Now the price of buying a game has changed from 160,000 to 320,000, and it will be 640,000 if you buy another. One million seems like a lot, but at most, you can buy two games.

There are more and more new customers at the branch, and more and more customers brought by new customers. Tanjiro brought four people in at once, while Yousuke Shibazaki brought only one elf.

Yoshida Saki and Akemi Homura might not be familiar with this mechanism yet, and they haven't brought anyone in to play yet. On the contrary, the old store, although more and more people are brought in, is also saturated. So, this money cannot be used to buy games; it is necessary to expand the space and the number of machines to a certain extent.

"What games are good?"

Liu Yuan took a look at the discounted games this week, two fighting games. Although he filled in the classification of the mini-games he made in advance, he began to browse the mall.

There were really too many games, such as the FC series, Zelda series, Final Fantasy series, or online games. The options were overwhelming.

If it was a matter of choosing one from a few, it would be simple, but selecting from such a vast ocean was challenging without a clear goal.

"Hmm? Yes, you can add this..."

Liu Yuan saw a very classic game, "Terraria," a sandbox game like Minecraft, except that the map has boundaries and there are no restrictions like in Minecraft.

Want to fight? Kill monsters, collect materials, get equipment, and kill more powerful monsters. Simple linear battle process, anyone can get started. Want to build? Don't fight the Wall of Flesh directly; turn on the construction mode. In this world, you can build anything.

At the same time, Liu Yuan also looked at the game description provided by the system. It retained the traditional distinction between large and small worlds, and the random state still had a 50% probability of Crimson or Corrupted biomes.

It's just that it's different from the traditional 2D style. Players enter the game in a serious open sandbox, and the terrain also becomes a super-large rectangular block. There is still a boundary, but the boundary is not an air wall but a void similar to Minecraft. Jumping over it will kill you, but normal players should not jump.

However, compared with Minecraft, it is a bit difficult to get the clearance reward in this game. You need to clear the highest difficulty of the map at the highest difficulty of the game.

Because this game has no real difficulty, it is divided into character difficulty and map difficulty.

There are four levels of game difficulty: journey, simple, medium, and hard.

You will not die in the journey difficulty and you can create anything at will, similar to the creative mode in Minecraft. Simple death drops money, medium death drops money and equipment, and hard death deletes the file.

There are also four map difficulties: simple, hard, expert, and master. With different difficulties, the strength and skills of monsters change greatly.

You need to have a certain understanding of this game to clear the game and defeat the final moon, or you need enough talent to clear the game with one life.

The rewards after clearing the game are also very good: a set of equipment, a set of jewelry, and five weapons. The only pity is that the highest difficulty reward can only be taken once. If you want to take it again, you need to open a more different difficulty copy.

What made Liu Yuan's DNA move was the Zenith Sword. The moment he saw it, he wanted to get it. This game can provide customers with useful equipment and satisfy DNA, so of course, he had to buy it.

However, these are problems for ordinary players. As an Internet cafe owner, he doesn't worry about these issues at all. What is the most important thing after choosing a new game? Of course, having fun.

Terraria can also be played multiplayer online. Liu Yuan got up directly and went downstairs to have fun.

Currently, in the entire Internet cafe, except for Liu Yuan who has a relatively normal life and work schedule, even the newcomer Takashima Yuuna has been led astray by Kisara to practice immortality every day.

There are employee dormitories, but he doesn't live there! He plays games every night until almost dawn the next day.

But it is precisely because of this that Liu Yuan feels like he has returned to his youth. Thinking back to the past, he also skipped classes to go to the Internet cafe for five consecutive days, and he would stay up all night no matter what he played.

Seeing Liu Yuan coming out, Kisara waved his hand: "Boss, you added a new game? Are you going to play it together?"

"Of course, this kind of game is really fun to play together. Come on, I'll open a server, and the fun will be over."

"Let's go!"

Jibril also rubbed her hands excitedly: "Hehe..."

Her purpose was very simple. If she couldn't beat Liu Yuan in reality, she would beat him in the game. Among all the people, Takashima Yuuna was the most responsible for her work. Her idea was to quickly familiarize herself with the game so that she could introduce the game to the guests tomorrow.

Accompanied by a comfortable BGM, several people all entered the game opened by Liu Yuan.

As soon as they entered the game, they were attracted by the environment. Green mountains and green waters, a person named Guide greeted them, and cute rabbits and slimes jumped towards them as if to welcome them.

Liu Yuan looked around and found that there seemed to be too many slimes, so he asked the guide curiously: "Brother, don't you feel that there are too many monsters around?"

"It's okay, as long as we build a house, we can resist these monsters."

"That means we can only run away before there is a house..."

Only Takashima Yuuna noticed the communication between Liu Yuan and the guide. She reminded the other two beside her: "Kisara-senpai, Jibril-senpai should we be more careful?"

"Be careful? Be careful about what? There are no monsters around."

Jibril nodded and said: "That's right, I'm super strong!"

Liu Yuan pressed Takashima Yuuna's shoulder: "It's okay, they just opened up the wasteland, and soon they will know the cruelty of this world."

Terraria, on the surface, looks like a fairy tale world. There are cute monsters, friendly NPCs, and monsters to be conquered. After conquering the Wall of Flesh, there will be a sacred place with elves and unicorns inside.

But only those who have played know how bloody and cruel this place is, especially the Empress of Light, who can definitely teach all players how to survive.

As a veteran player, Liu Yuan knows what is the most important thing in playing sandbox games, collecting resources. No matter whether it is wood or stone, just collect the resources.

"By the way, in this world, even slimes will kill people."

As Liu Yuan finished speaking, he reached out to catch the slime that jumped over, while the other two idiots mocking the slimes were dismembered by the slimes.

"What?"

Seeing the corpse of her companions, Takashima Yuuna covered her mouth. She didn't expect these cute guys to be so cruel.

"Don't be surprised, this is not the highest difficulty. They would have been killed long ago at the highest difficulty."

Liu Yuan took out the copper pickaxe given at the beginning and said while digging down: "Don't pay attention to them, you will know how to play this game after a few deaths. Come on, sister, let's go to the mine together!"

"Hey, hey, hey? Go to the mine? Where's the guide?"

"Don't worry, NPCs in non-highest difficulty maps will be resurrected infinitely after death. Let's collect enough resources first. Let them have fun on the top. The dark deep is the happiest time in this game."

"Okay."

Takashima Yuuna made a choice. She chose to go to the mine with Liu Yuan to get resources.

Chapter 141 New Customer Tatsumi

At 7:30 the next morning, Kisara and Jibril stood up with lifeless eyes and prepared to clean up the store. Liu Yuan took Takashima Yuuna back to the branch to prepare for a new day.

As for why Kisara and Jibril became like this? The reason is very simple. They were killed all night.

They really took the concept of life and death to the extreme. When Liu Yuan and Kisara were mining, they were exploring. When they were cutting trees, they summoned the Brain of Cthulhu in the Crimson.

After being disgusted by the image of the Brain of Cthulhu, especially after being killed twice in a row by that thing, they sat there like they had lost their souls.

"Okay, get ready for business. Jibril, I'll leave this to you. Just call me if you have any issues."

At present, Liu Yuan has no idea of developing the old store. When the number of people in the new store is full and both sides enter sustainable development, they will expand the store simultaneously. This way, they should achieve the goal of daily sales of 200,000.

On the way back to the branch, Liu Yuan was thinking about whether to use some microtransaction routines. In the end, he rejected this idea. It's not that he is double-dealing. It's that microtransactions are best played for the first time. Now there are few people. If they figure out these routines, new people will not be able to use them in the future.

As the time reached eight o'clock in the morning, Yousuke Shibazaki rushed in first.

"Boss! Are you here?"

"Of course!"

Liu Yuan took out a next-generation console: "The 2100 Sega next-generation console. This console will reset all old games in high definition, specially prepared for older players."

Liu Yuan also asked the system why this kind of console still exists in the 22nd century. According to the system, this is the latest marketing routine in that world, resetting the games and animations played by the older generation and then selling them in packages. It is said that the effect is very good, and even children can't stop it.

"Thank you very much!"

After Yousuke Shibazaki put away the console solemnly, Liu Yuan spoke: "I also have some new games here. Are you and Elf interested in playing together?"

When Liu Yuan said this, Elf just walked in.

"What? Play with him? Of course!"

She subconsciously wanted to say that she would not play with Orc, but her consciousness kept reminding her that she would "destroy her voice with a proud and charming voice." Almost every time she said no, she couldn't say it.

Yousuke Shibazaki nodded. It was fun to play games together. As for the rewards in the game, he had obtained all the rewards of the Resident Evil series, and he didn't want to go to other games.

He came here because Liu Yuan could help him buy a console. He could never repay this favor in his lifetime!

When he thought of the increasing number of new Sega consoles in his hands, Yousuke Shibazaki showed a slightly perverted smile on his face.

As soon as Yousuke Shibazaki came in, Akemi Homura walked in with a tired face.

"Hey, Homura, what's wrong?"

"I'm so tired... Boss, is there anything that can help me stay awake?"

"Black coffee, please."

After deducting the money for a drink from Homura's card, he handed the black coffee to her. She blew on the edges of the coffee, took a sip, and her expression twisted.

The coffee was too bitter, but the effect was very obvious. The moment she took a sip, she felt completely refreshed.

After drinking the coffee in one gulp while resisting the bitterness, Homura felt unwell. After coughing a few times, she took the water handed by Liu Yuan, drank a large glass, and asked hesitantly, "Boss, I found that my talent is very poor... Is there any game like Minecraft that doesn't require too much talent to improve oneself?"

Once, Homura Akemi thought she was a genius. After all, she was indeed better in combat than Yoshida Saki. But after playing Elden Ring, she was sure of one thing: she was a weakling.

It had been a week. Except for the Radahn she killed with the help of Fujimaru Kaede and Natsuki Subaru a few days ago, and the Mimic Teardrop she killed by skipping bosses, she suffered a lot when fighting other monsters. She felt that she was not suitable for this kind of difficult game. If possible, she wanted to play some easier games.

"Yes! The new game Terraria. It is a sandbox game like Minecraft, and the difficulty is progressive. It only requires some positioning skills and depends more on equipment. If you have experience in Minecraft, follow the guide inside, and you can finish it perfectly in about two weeks."

Games are like this. Some people like sandboxes, some like souls, and some like action games. As long as it suits you, it's fine.

Anyway, Homura Akemi has also obtained the more critical equipment. If she is really not interested in this game in this state, just change it.

"Okay~ I'll try it."

Homura Akemi was ready to try the new game recommended by Liu Yuan. She had a hunch that this new game might be very suitable for her.

This was indeed the case. After entering Terraria and accepting the basic operations taught by the system, she was excited. Familiar with the crafting, chopping trees, and mining.

It can even be said that playing circuits, playing monsters, and playing planting in this game is still possible. Especially for her, who wants to improve combat experience, this game is a perfect fit.

This game is really not difficult, especially for players like Homura Akemi who have good reaction speed but don't have the time and interest to play soul-based games. Quick equipment here is a very good choice.

The reason why Homura Akemi wanted to improve her strength quickly was also very simple. She knew some truths about the magical girl. It's not right to say that she knew because she guessed it when she communicated with Liu Yuan before. It was only when she saw another version of herself and that other self told her the truth that she knew how serious the matter was.

One more important thing is that she wanted to pull her other self into the Internet cafe to become stronger together, but that other self never met her again after explaining these things to her.

Homura Akemi also imagined that if she had the ability to travel through time and go back to the past to see herself, she would also tell her past self some things to do and not to do, and then stop interfering with the other self's choice, right?

But the problem is, if she can bring the other self into this Internet cafe, use half a day to make a Mimic Tear, and then use a week or two weeks to complete the Minecraft at the speed of light, and she can also complete the new game introduced by Liu Yuan in two weeks, then two selves plus two Mimic Tears, four same people fighting a witch, she feels that it is stable.

While she was thinking and surfing the Internet, a new guest came to the four-dimensional space today.

"Excuse me, where is this..."

Today was the day that Tatsumi and his friends in the countryside agreed to go to the imperial capital. He was just about to leave when he found himself in a strange place.

There stood a tall man and a beautiful girl in front of him, and there were men and women in the house, and even monsters?

Takashima Yuuna on the side came over at this time: "Hello, guest, this is the four-dimensional space Internet cafe, where you can gain power, life-saving props, and even powerful weapons and equipment. Do you want to try it?"

"But, I don't have money..."

"It doesn't matter, you can overdraw your lifespan, and return it in the future after gaining strength here. Whether it is a powerful monster or a rare weapon and equipment, you can use it as money to return it when you go online in the future."

"No..." Tatsumi wanted to leave, but Takashima Yuuna, who was deeply influenced by Liu Yuan, was no longer the girl who could not persuade people. After analysis, the young man in front of her had a sword hanging on his waist, and the calluses on his hands proved that he was a swordsman. This judgment might not be accurate, but as long as he used a sword, it would be easy to persuade him.

She silently took out an illustration: "This sword is called Zenith. Guest, do you really not want to take a look?"

Tatsumi wanted to leave, but after hearing Takashima Yuuna's words, he subconsciously took a look, and then his feet seemed to be fixed and could not move at all.

Just as Takashima Yuuna guessed, his goal was to join the army in the imperial capital and reach the peak of his life. For this reason, he practiced swordsmanship hard, and naturally, like all swordsmen, he hoped to have a handsome weapon.

Zenith Sword, a weapon that reaches the top of the sky, sounds very cool. When he saw the appearance of Zenith Sword, his body that was about to leave turned into a movement to walk to the front desk.

"Excuse me, can I really get this weapon?"

Takashima Yuuna said softly: "Of course, you can try it for a day. I believe you can afford the price of a day."

This is true. Tatsumi had money. Although the money was not much, it was enough for him to buy games and surf the Internet for a few days.

This money is the money that even told be used to make connections in the Imperial Capital, but the moment he saw the Zenith Sword, his body involuntarily took out the money.

There is no hypnosis or induction. This is the desire from Tatsumi's DNA, the desire to hold this weapon. No! To be precise, this weapon taps into the DNA of all men who have some fantasies about the future, because the real reason why Liu Yuan chose this game is that he didn't control his thoughts when he saw the Zenith Sword and bought it on a daze.

Chapter 142: Tatsumi Who Writes Strategy Guides

For the first time, Tatsumi found himself in such a luxurious room. The soft touch of the chair immersed him in it.

At that moment, Liu Yuan walked up to him and said, "Dear guest, please don't be nervous. I will show you how to use the machine."

"Oh... okay, thank you!"

Tatsumi smiled shyly. Having never been equipped with such technology, his smile was very pure. He was not tall but very strong, and his appearance would naturally win the favor of strangers.

Under Liu Yuan's guidance, he learned how to open the game, how to enter the game, and how to solve some problems through the built-in system of the Internet cafe.

"That's all the operations. If you have any questions, you can call the network administrator at any time. We will do our best to resolve your troubles."

"Uncle, thank you."

This statement stunned Liu Yuan for a moment.

Returning to the front desk, he asked Takashima Yuuna, "Am I an uncle?"

Takashima Yuuna nodded gently. Men who were older and younger than him were brothers and seniors, and it was appropriate to call mature men uncles.

"..."

Kisara commented, "It's true that a man is a boy until he dies. I didn't expect our invincible boss to be so concerned about such things."

After entering the game, Tatsumi listened carefully to the system's introduction.

"You can get weapons after clearing the game, right? Very good! The highest difficulty."

Tatsumi interrupted the system's novice tutorial just after hearing that he could obtain weapons by clearing the game on the highest difficulty. Upon hearing the player's choice, the system directly started the game.

Tatsumi then entered the game world.

He noticed that he had an extra system box with a copper pickaxe, axe, and dagger.

"This weapon seems to be very powerful..."

Having learned swordsmanship and used swords before, the copper sword felt strange, but he was amazed to find that no matter how he chopped, it would not cause damage to this weapon.

At this moment, he also noticed slimes approaching him. In his world, there was a creature called a Danger Beast. Tatsumi had killed some weak Danger Beast. He didn't know Slime, but when the Slime approached him, he instinctively felt danger and then swung his sword to stab it.

Thus began Tatsumi's journey in Terraria, starting with chopping slimes.

Seeing this scene from the front desk, Liu Yuan teased Kisara, "See, a newcomer knows that slimes are to be chopped. You two, when you first saw it, just hugged each other."

Kisara explained, "That's Slime, the weakest guy. Who would have thought the game looks so warm, but the monster is so powerful?"

"Is there a possibility that you underestimated the enemy?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Meanwhile, Tatsumi was also immersed in the game. The game state was very magical. He could feel the changes in time within the game, and at the same time, he could feel the touch of his body outside the game.

He could clearly judge that this was a game, but he instinctively focused during the battle.

There were many slimes, and they were very strong, but fortunately, Tatsumi had practiced before and could easily kill more than a dozen slimes. He was just a little confused when he saw the items dropped by the slimes.

"Slime gel? What is this for?"

Not knowing its use, he still put it away. He continued hacking and killing until night. He thought it was just a game of fighting and killing, but at night, when he saw the groups of zombies and eyes flying in the sky, he couldn't help but shiver.

"What are these!!"

Many sandbox games are relatively safe during the day and become lively at night. For those who haven't played such games before, not building a suitable house during the day or not digging underground to take shelter at night can lead to such surprises.

"Damn, there are so many, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!"

As more and more monsters appeared at night, the zombies first killed the guide and finally dragged Tatsumi to death in his endless battle. After seeing the news of his own death, Tatsumi took off his glasses and looked around in confusion.

Elf nearby were exchanging gaming experiences with Yousuke Shibazaki, and Akemi Homura had even built a house in the Terraria world and opened a hole under the house in the dark to start mining.

"Yes!"

Tatsumi's eyes lit up. He was not familiar with this game at all, but he could observe how people around him played.

Since the game had just launched, everyone was in the novice stage, and he could watch how others played and develop his own strategies. He felt that head-peeking behavior was not good, but it didn't seem polite to interrupt their game directly.

Liu Yuan, who was standing by, saw his embarrassment and reminded him, "The Internet cafe comes with free software called TT. You can contact everyone on TT. The branch also has its own TT group. You are already in the group, so just say anything there."

"Okay!"

Tatsumi immediately opened TT. "Excuse me, can I watch the seniors while they are exploring Terraria? I want to summarize my exploration experience."

Yousuke Shibazaki replied directly, "Yes."

Kumoko replied shyly, "Just don't stare at them all the time~"

The others did not object, as they, too, would observe others when they were newbies.

However, Shibazaki Yousuke made a request: "But I need you to record your observations and practice and make a guide. Send it to me, and I will pay you."

"No need for money~ Thank you, everyone."

Seeing Tatsumi's reply, Yousuke Shibazaki felt a bit emotional. A guide was the first thing that came to his mind. He knew there was another store besides this one, but there were so many people, and few had guides. Most were their own experiences and feelings.

This is why everyone paid so much attention when Liu Yuan released the guide for skipping bosses and cheesing with Mimic Tear. Those experiences were only valid for players with the same skills. However, many strategies are useful to all players. If the young man who made the speech could create a Terraria strategy guide, it would benefit both him and all the players.

He just didn't understand why Liu Yuan had never advocated such a thing.

If Liu Yuan knew his thoughts, he would definitely say, "Forget it."

Because when it comes to playing games, he is not a strategy writer. He is the kind of passerby who replies with gratitude and even sends a few kowtow pictures when the big guys make a strategy.

Even the previous MC strategy was actually provided to him by the system. According to the system, the MC game he used was provided by the server owner, who also provided a matching game strategy.

However, the number of strategies was limited, and Liu Yuan gave it out casually. However, when he saw everyone communicating on TT, Liu Yuan realized that there was indeed a need for a specialist to make strategies. If Tatsumi proved to be reliable, it would be a good choice to let him do it.

Such a simple boy could definitely do a good job.

Chapter 143: Homura Akemi and Tomoe Mami

"Lead ore and iron ore have the same mining efficiency."

"There are more minerals in the cave layer."

"When the HP exceeds 100 and there are more than two NPCs living in the room, and the player is above ground, the Eye of Cthulhu will appear at night."

Tatsumi listened to the advice of Yousuke Shibazaki and summarized the intelligence he obtained through continuous observation, posting it on TT. The effect was very good, and many people liked the content posted by Tatsumi.

Many people also supplemented the content he missed in the comment area, and it was generally thriving. Tatsumi was also immersed in this process. In order to better observe, he usually wrote the strategy, tried it on the computer himself, and published it on TT after confirming that there were no problems.

With Tatsumi's strategy, many people avoided a long detour.

Tatsumi also went to the internet cafe main branch to write the strategy while on the road. Although his overall progress was very slow, he successfully advanced the progress of all Terraria players by a large margin.

"Great, then there will be no problem with Walpurgisnacht."

At Homura Akemi's home, she was calculating the time until Walpurgisnacht, and at the same time, she estimated the time she would need to get the weapons and equipment based on the progress in the internet cafe.

According to the current progress, if there are no accidents, she will be able to obtain the weapons and equipment a week before Walpurgisnacht arrives. By then, with Terraria's weapons and equipment, combined with the characteristics of the MC world, she felt confident she couldn't fail.

"Very good~ Today's progress has been substantial! Time to reward myself~"

Homura Akemi opened the refrigerator and took out a small piece of cream cake to reward herself. She was too tired these days. She had to go to class during the day and make plans with her other self at night.

The attitude of her other self was very clear. Neither she nor Madoka could sign a contract with Kyubey. All the pain would be borne by her alone.

In order to share the pressure, Homura Akemi took on a lot of tasks, patrolling, fighting, and helping her other self clean up the filthy Grief Seed.

But after knowing the truth, she was silent every time she sold the Grief Seed. She didn't know if it was the right choice to sell them after using them up. After all, the former incarnations of these Grief Seed were all magical girls.

As she was thinking, time stopped. It might be because the two were originally one person, and the time stopped by 'Akemi Homura' could not affect this world's Homura.

"You're here? Do you want some cake?"

'Akemi Homura' took a look at the cream cake, which was her favorite. She sat on the sofa and ate it in small bites. Although it was a bit extravagant to eat cake with time stopped, she had a lot of Grief Seed, so she didn't mind.

"The latest information: Tomoe Mami is about to enter a witch's barrier with Madoka and Sayaka. After school, they will invite you to participate in this crusade. The witch that revived this time is the snack witch."

"Are you going to support them?"

After hesitating for a while, she nodded. Tomoe Mami caused the most group annihilations in countless reincarnations, but even so, she wanted to stop it.

"Leave the witch to me, Kyubey to you."

"Please, my other self."

"Thank you for your hard work, my other self."

The two Homura Akemis went out at the same time. 'Homura Akemi' had to admit that two people were more efficient than one. Especially when discussing problems with another her who had special transmigration experience, she could always grasp the core of the problem.

It was like every time she reincarnated, she was helpless to stop Kyubey and Madoka from signing a contract, but after her other self reviewed what she had done from another perspective, she found many ways to stop and change things.

Even if the contract was really signed... She shook her head. She

Lp herself was the biggest variable, and she believed that this time she could complete the change.

The biggest variable was the ability of her other self. She silently took out the golden apple and the Totem of Undying. Although the totem could not be tested, the power of the golden apple was obvious to all. After eating it, whether it was speed, strength, or the duration of ability, it would be greatly improved, and even the speed of soul gem pollution would be reduced to the lowest.

Enough, that's enough.

However, she didn't know what abilities her other self had, but she noticed that she needed gold and apples to make them. When she borrowed guns from the gang these days, she took away several tons of gold. She felt that so much gold should be enough to make a lot of golden apples, right?

Homura Akemi also received a message from Mami Tomoe. She arrived at the abandoned residential building as soon as she got the message. At this time, Mami Tomoe was ready to go out with two newcomers she liked to defeat the witch again.

Yes, according to them, Homura Akemi had already defeated the witch once. She was very confused as to why someone who was not a magical girl could defeat the witch, but the other party was very friendly and exchanged contact information. Kyubey also said that he hoped she and Homura Akemi could establish a bond, so she was relieved to have deeper contact with Homura Akemi.

"Mami~"

Sayaka greeted Mami Tomoe, Madoka, and Sayaka as soon as they appeared.

"Homura~"

Mami Tomoe had a smile on her face. Although Homura Akemi was not a magical girl, she felt she was no longer alone because they could fight together.

"Homura~ Don't fight with me for the witch today~ I don't have enough Grief Seed~"

"I have enough. But if Mami needs them, I don't want them."

So far, Homura has sold three Grief Seed. The first one was obtained by herself. The second one was from the first time she met Mami and defeated the witch, so she didn't fight for it. The third one was another Grief Seed that she gave to the Magical Girl who was about to become a witch.

Sayaka on the side also greeted Homura: "Homura~ You are here too, hehe! I have decided to become a magical girl and eliminate darkness with Mami!"

Madoka also nodded: "Me too, so we can defeat the witch together."

At this moment, time stopped.

'Homura' walked in front of Homura, and her tone was no longer as calm as before. She didn't have any good ideas. According to her experience, no matter how she tried to stop it, Sayaka would make a wish for others in the end, and Madoka would make a wish to save the city.

"Don't panic! Leave it to me. You said that if this witch doesn't have anyone to help, Mami will die. So... let them know part of the truth this time."

"Okay!"

After that, time resumed, and only Homura Akemi was left at the scene.

But Homura Akemi hugged Mami from behind before she entered the barrier.

At this moment, Mami's body stopped. For some reason, Mami felt her heartbeat speeding up when she was hugged, and Homura Akemi's body was a little cold, but when they hugged each other, she felt as if she had someone to rely on.

"Homura? What's wrong? If you really need the Grief Seed, I can give it to you. I still have some left that can last for a long time."

"Not really."

After obtaining specific information about Mami and what Mami had done, she specifically asked professionals why Mami acted this way. She was a very reliable elder sister when they met, so why did she immediately collapse and even kill her teammates when she learned the truth?

She asked many people about this, and the answers given by Liu Yuan were that she lacked support to survive, and the easiest way to prevent her from collapsing was to give her a support that she could not be abandoned.

She already had a solution.

Chapter 144: There is Nothing to Be Afraid Of

Mami Tomoe does need the Grief Seed, but it is not urgent yet. It is not impossible to give one to Homura Akemi before that.

"No, it is just that it is very hard for Asami-senpai to fight alone all the time. Asami-senpai promised me that I would stay by her side no matter what desperate situation she encounters because I need her."

"Hey, hey, hey?"

"What?"

Sayaka was stunned by this scene, and even Madoka covered her mouth in surprise. 'Homura Akemi', who was watching this scene in the dark, almost stumbled upon holding onto the wall. She really did not expect that her other self could say such cheesy words.

However, these kinds of words worked. Mami Tomoe was silent for a while, then turned around and hugged Homura Akemi as well. "I will be here no matter what happens. Let's kill the witch and go back. I'll make dessert for you when we get back."

"Great~"

"Great~"

The four people entered the witch's barrier. The familiars in this witch's barrier were like a hospital, with monsters like nurses, various medicine bottles, and small witch women patrolling.

There were things that looked like desserts on the strange building, and the familiars around were constantly searching for "desserts."

Big cookies were placed on the ground, and countless familiars danced around. It looked like they were dancing, but also like taunting.

At this moment, Homura Akemi directly entered combat state. The diamond armour she once wore has now been replaced with a nether armor. In addition, she had some special preparations, potions from the MC world.

Splash-type strength, speed, and resistance potions were used, and everyone around was given a buff that lasted for eight minutes. "Everyone, this is the potion I made recently. It lasts for eight minutes. The timer starts now. Please gather around me in seven and a half minutes and I will replenish your buffs."

Mami Tomoe felt the power in her body and said with emotion, "This kind of power will feel magical even if you have seen it. It is just like another kind of magic."

"Eh? If I become a magical girl, can I be as handsome as you two?"

Before Akemi Homura spoke, Mami Tomoe said directly, "Of course, after you become a magical girl, we can team up to defeat the witch together."

Madoka didn't know when she hugged a Kyubey in her arms. She said happily, "Then I will make a wish for a big cake when the time comes, and we can eat it together."

Sayaka jumped excitedly, "Great!"

Mami Tomoe had already taken the soul gem in her hand, "In this case, let's make a quick decision."

In an instant, Mami Tomoe completed her transformation. As an experienced magical girl, the yellow ribbon protected Sayaka and Madoka, who had no fighting power. Mami Tomoe, who completed the transformation, turned her magic power into ribbons, and the ribbons turned into rifles to attack the surrounding demons.

"There are trusted companions."

"There are lovely juniors."

"There is nothing to fear now."

This time, Tomoe showed her absolute strength, displaying terrifying firepower in the witch's barrier.

Her movements were so light, and her spearmanship was so gorgeous. The spear was not her ability, but she made a gun-like appearance and power according to her ability.

Her movements were gorgeous, her methods were clean and neat, and she showed strength far beyond that of ordinary magical girls. No familiar could survive a shot, and with her leading the way, the group entered an empty room, where a cute doll sat.

Without any hesitation, she rushed up directly...

"Mami-san, something is wrong!"

Although Homura Akemi had never seen such a small and harmless creature, she understood a truth during her time playing Terraria: the smaller and cuter the creature, the more dangerous it might be.

This sentence worked on Tomoe Mami, and she became more vigilant and attacked the small familiar without sparing her magic. After five shots and one cannon, the snack witch was hung in the sky, and the magic cannon attack, which was twice as powerful as the original one, pierced through the small witch.

"Great!"

"Success!"

When Sayaka and Madoka thought they had won, the head of the small witch suddenly turned into a long monster with a big mouth, and it arrived in front of Mami Tomoe in almost an instant.

"What..."

The speed was so fast that Mami Tomoe had no time to react at all. At the moment when she was almost dead, time stopped.

'Humaki Akemi' came out and took out the soul gem from Mami Tomoe's chest slowly.

"Here you go, I hope you succeed."

"Yeah!"

Homura Akemi took the soul gem, and after her other self hid in a place where Kyubey couldn't find her, time began to flow again.

At the moment when time flowed, Mami Tomoe's head was bitten off and her body was eaten up.

"What?"

"Hey, hey, hey?"

Everything happened so fast that Sayaka and Madoka, who were ordinary people, had no chance to react at all. However, Homura Akemi slowly collected Tomoe's soul gem and took out the props she needed.

"A witch who likes to eat, right? Come on, little guy, I'll give you something good to eat."

While speaking, Homura Akemi threw out the Ender Pearl, which flew so high that it would take at least five seconds for the pearl to land. Homura Akemi slowly took out the TNT and lit it. When the snack witch rushed over to bite her, she jumped and threw several TNTs into her mouth.

But then she found out that the Ender Pearl did not break. The ground around was full of various cakes and desserts, which formed an effect similar to a slime block. The Ender Pearl bounced and bounced, and it was fine.

"Oops!"

Homura Akemi underestimated the enemy and even underestimated Kyubey. Because Kyubey, who was standing next to her, saw this scene and had a calm smile on his face.

"Quick! Sign a contract with me! No matter what wish you make, I can let you live."

"Hehe..."

Homura Akemi laughed. It was indeed beyond her expectations, but... she was also prepared.

She was bitten in half by the Snack Witch, but the pain she imagined did not happen because she switched to the block form.

After this period of testing, she found that the block form was very magical. While there was no pain, the body was also digitized.

As long as the health bar was still there, she was immortal.

The Snack Witch's attack was very strong, and she could kill instantly with one hit, but she had an Totem of Undying on her body.

At the moment when the health bar was cleared, the totem was activated, and she gained a very short invincible time and recovered some of her health. It was during this invincible period that the TNT exploded.

The Snack Witch, who looked solid on the outside, was very fragile inside. Three TNT explosions killed her, and the remaining TNT exploded directly into the air.

"You're kidding..."

Although the witch was defeated, Tomoe Mami's "death" was a huge shock to the two.

This was part of the plan of the two Homura Akemi, to let Madoka and Sayaka witness the cruelty of the magical girl's battle and break a layer of their delusions first. The battle between Homura Akemi and Mami Tomoe was so smooth that it made outsiders think it was easy.

But in fact, Homura Akemi knew very well that she had acquired these fighting skills after dying countless times in Minecraft. It is more likely that Mami Tomoe had to fight hard for several years to have this strength.

She joined the battle just to see how cool it was and died without knowing how she died.

And the shock of death was only the first layer, and the truth about the magical girl was the real damage.

Chapter 145: Milk and Magical Girls

"This can't be true, right?"

Sayaka's tears flowed uncontrollably. Homura said nothing and prepared to leave with a blank expression.

"Homura is in pain, right?"

Madoka also wiped her tears and watched Homura leaving.

As for Kyubey? Don't worry at all. Another Homura is already keeping an eye on the situation. They just witnessed Mami's 'death', so they're in a very bad mood. It will be difficult for Kyubey to seduce them anytime soon.

And then...

Homura looked at the soul gem in her hand. The soul gem was now very murky. The body's destruction caused the soul gem to enter a low-consumption state, likely keeping it stable until Mami's body recovered.

But now there was a problem. She didn't know how to make Mami recover.

Homura Akemi: "Boss, one of my friend's body has been eaten, but her soul is still intact. Is there any way to save her?"

Liu Yuan: "Make a potion of weakness and add a golden apple, then ask her to eat it."

Homura Akemi: "But now there's only a soul gem left."

Liu Yuan: "..."

Liu Yuan: "One hundred thousand yen, and I can go there in person."

Without any hesitation, Homura Akemi spent one hundred thousand yen to ask Liu Yuan to come and assess the situation.

She paid the money, and in the next second, Liu Yuan appeared in Homura Akemi's room.

"Let me see what the situation is."

"Here."

Liu Yuan saw the soul gem belonging to Tomoe Mami, and curiously asked, "Aren't you going to sell this? It's very valuable."

"Boss!!"

At this moment, Homura Akemi didn't dare to breathe. What Liu Yuan said was too terrible. Selling the Grief Seed is because it's completely irreversible, and her other self clearly stated that she tried various methods and couldn't revert to her original appearance.

But Mami's soul gem is still normal, and she is still a living person.

"Just kidding, just kidding, let me take a look~"

The soul gem is a gem formed by Kyubey, suppressing the soul of the magical girl. For the magical girl, the body has completely become a vessel. As long as the body is not destroyed, it can recover from any serious injury.

Normally, it takes a lot of magic power in the soul gem to restore the body, but it's not a big problem. Liu Yuan has a special resurrection technique.

In the Minecraft, if villagers become zombies, using a weakness potion plus a golden apple can turn the zombie villagers back to normal. In the real world, this feature still exists, but the coverage is broader.

As long as humanity is retained, it can be revived with a weakness potion and a golden apple.

Although Mami now only has a soul gem left, it's not a big problem. Liu Yuan has a way to restore her.

Seeing Liu Yuan take out the golden apple, Akemi Homura thought about what he was going to do. But then her face changed, and she asked nervously: "This is too big, won't it fit?"

Liu Yuan raised his finger and shook it: "It's okay if it's a little bigger, but you have to be prepared. When she recovers, she may be a little upset."

"I'm ready."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan began the transformation process. He used the weakness potion to weaken the soul, and the golden apple to recast the body.

The golden apple in the MC world restores life in reality, not the health bar on the panel, but the real recovery of the body.

Mami Tomoe's body started to recover. Although her body was restored, her soul had not yet returned. Liu Yuan placed the soul gem in her palm, and the moment it touched her hand, Mami Tomoe's eyes regained their spirit.

"Homura?"

Her memory gradually returned. She remembered fighting against the witch, being full of hope for the future, and then...

"Ah!!!"

"Snap!"

Liu Yuan stood behind Mami Tomoe, took out a stick, and hit her on the head.

"Boss! What are you doing?"

"Letting her be quiet."

Liu Yuan said indifferently: "Magical girls are strong, this will at most make her physically unconscious, and won't cause any harm. Wait until she calms down, then talk."

Since he accepted Homura Akemi's request and received money, even though the money was just a necessary expense for crossing worlds, the saying goes, "Take money from people to help them with their problems," so the after-sales service must be good.

"But boss, isn't this wrong?"

"What's wrong? Let me ask you a question. Will it hurt her?"

Homura Akemi shook her head.

"Then is what I did effective in making her quiet?"

She nodded again.

"That's it. You need to figure out your purpose and what you want. Act according to that goal, and don't affect or hurt others in the process."

"But I still feel something is weird."

"Hey, it's okay. By the way, this is for you."

Liu Yuan gave Homura Akemi a bucket from the MC world. "This? Fill it with water?"

"No! Fill it with milk."

"Wait!!"

Homura realized something, and Liu Yuan nodded and explained: "The soul gem is the body, and the filth in the soul gem is a negative debuff that can be purified."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? And didn't the novice tutorial say that milk can remove any buff? Look, any! Unless you play with mods. As long as it's from a cow, there's no problem."

Liu Yuan was actually quite troubled by the characteristics of milk. MC milk without any mods can remove any buff, but milk with mods might not be able to remove some buffs.

Homura took action. The farm with cows was far from her home, and it would take at least six hours to go back and forth, but with Liu Yuan by her side, she could go out without worry.

"Prepare more."

Thinking of the role of milk, Homura Akemi decided to prepare a few more buckets on the way. One for Mami Tomoe, another for herself, and three more buckets for backup, perfect.

Mami Tomoe woke up again, and when she was conscious this time, she saw Homura Akemi.

"Mami-senpai."

"Homura?"

Now calm, she wanted to ask what was going on, but her body stopped her.

"Mami-senpai, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Homura Akemi didn't explain too much, but hugged her, giving her a sense of reality with her warmth. Mami Tomoe's wish was to survive, and she was the strongest when she was alone.

"Homura, am I... no longer human?"

After a long silence, Homura Akemi spoke. She told Mami Tomoe the details of the situation, the truth about the Soul Gem, the truth about witches, and Kyubey's purpose.

"I..."

Mami Tomoe's worldview completely collapsed, but fortunately, Homura Akemi was there this time, and Homura Akemi's words also gave her hope.

"Mami-senpai, the soul turning into a Soul Gem is not irreversible. Are you willing to trust me? If you are willing to trust me, I have a way to make you normal again."

"Really?"

"I won't lie to you, Mami-senpai, because you and I are friends, companions who rely on each other. I want to enjoy the food made with your black tea every day, and I want to fight with you in the future to keep saving other magical girls."

"Homura... were you a magical girl before?"

"Yes, do you want to see my Soul Gem?"

Mami Tomoe didn't say anything, but her eyes told her what she was thinking.

So Homura Akemi clapped her hands, and in the blink of an eye, 'Homura Akemi' stood in front of Mami Tomoe.

It was strange, they had the same appearance and figure, but the Homura in front of her felt colder.

"A side effect of the transformation, Mami, are you willing to be my companion?"

"I... will!"

As she had said before, she had nothing to fear now that things were like this.

'Homura Akemi' canceled the transformation, and Homura Akemi continued to comfort Mami Tomoe in the room.

On the roof, 'Homura Akemi' asked Liu Yuan, who was leaning against the wall playing a handheld game console, "Can we really return to normal?"

Chapter 146 More Magical Girls Become Guests

"Return to being a normal person? Of course, you can even ensure your soul gem is no longer a weakness."

"Then, what's the price?"

Time Traveler Homura is not as 'naive' as the current Akemi Homura. After hundreds of time loops, she understands one thing: there is a price to pay for everything.

The price of becoming a magical girl is turning into a witch, so what's the price of returning to normal?

"Money."

Liu Yuan looked at the sky and said, "I need money, a lot of money. Only with money can I do what I want to do."

"You need money?"

She looked at Liu Yuan in disbelief. How could someone who could not be stopped in time and could subdue her in a time stop be short of money?

"Put away that idea. We are doing business. I must provide 'goods' that meet the needs of customers, and the money earned belongs to me. And your transformation also requires you to spend time and money on it. It is essentially an equal exchange. What's more, haven't you already experienced the effect of milk?"

Liu Yuan's words made 'Homura Akemi' silent. Just a few minutes ago, another her had said that drinking milk could remove the pollution of the soul gem, but she didn't believe it. She didn't want to drink it. She tried to use time stop to escape, but Liu Yuan caught her and forced her to drink a whole bucket of milk.

A bucket! A whole bucket! Her stomach was swollen, and now she feels that her mouth is full of milk when she speaks.

If time stop worked on him, she would definitely teach Liu Yuan a lesson. But the problem is that time stop is ineffective for him, and... the milk is really effective.

She took out the soul gem. In the past, there was always a little darkness in the center of the soul gem that could not be purified, but now the darkness has disappeared, and the whole soul gem is shining like new.

"By the way, would you like something to drink?"

"No, my mouth is full of milk now."

While speaking, 'Homura Akemi' was full of disdain. Despite her dislike, she longed for some company even from people her own age.

On the surface, she is only a teenager now, but her mental age is already close to 30. People grow and change, and she is no exception. Sometimes she feels very tired, but there is no one to talk to.

She can only walk helplessly on the path to saving Madoka, but now, is there one more person?

As she was thinking, Liu Yuan threw her a bottle of Coke.

"I know you're old enough to drink, but I don't like it. Iced Coke, my Coke can be fine-tuned to your personal taste. I guarantee you'll like it."

"Thank you."

"But I can make you a promise. If you are willing to be a guest at this Internet cafe, you can find people to chat with even if you continue to time travel in the future, and you can return to this world to see everyone."

"Is it okay?"

Liu Yuan nodded: "Of course. Eh? It's getting late. I'll see if Mami needs anything. I'm not going back. It's almost time for the opening. See you later."

"See... later?"

In the room, Tomoe Mami's mood had stabilized. "What's going on?"

Liu Yuan's appearance made Tomoe, who had calmed down, nervous again. Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Hello~"

Akemi Homura explained: "Mami-neesan's condition has stabilized. Boss, is what you said true? Can she really return to normal?"

"Of course, you know how it works if you've played MC. But I have a suggestion, which is to not let Kyubey find out about her existence. Here, this is for you."

"What is this?"

"A sex change potion."

"?"

"?"

"?"

"?"

Everyone had a big question mark on their heads. Liu Yuan explained: "A sex change potion, a specialty of Terraria. If you can attract a customer to the Internet cafe, I will give you two bottles. How about it?"

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Liu Yuan continued: "Terraria's specialty sex change potion, after use, it can change all creatures' perception of your gender and image, even gods will think you are a man. But it will not change your physiological structure or self-gender perception, which is very suitable for avoiding the pursuit of some special beings."

"This, is it expensive?"

Akemi Homura asked in a low voice. The daily necessities in the Internet cafe are several times or even dozens of times more expensive than those in the outside world. Wouldn't it cost her a fortune for two bottles of potions?

"No money, but..."

"But?"

Liu Yuan smiled and explained: "As long as you can attract a customer, I can give you two bottles. One bottle changes the cognition back to male, and the other bottle changes the cognition back. How about it?"

"Is it okay?"

"Of course."

Liu Yuan's plan was clear. Tomoe Mami will definitely not get along well with Kyubey after knowing the truth, and if Kyubey finds out, he will try every means to get rid of her. But what if Kyubey's cognition changes her gender to male?

A male will never be Kyubey's target, and she will not have any problem appearing in front of Kyubey like this.

But at this time, Akemi Homura suddenly thought of something: "Boss, if I use milk, can I remove the buff of the sex change potion?"

At this moment, Liu Yuan was stunned: "It seems that it can be done... because it is just a buff, not a real change of the body."

"Great~"

"Quick reaction, okay, your commission is done, I'm going back. Call me if you need anything~"

After speaking, Liu Yuan left.

As he departed, Tomoe asked, "Homura, is he really trustworthy?"

"No problem~"

Honami lowered her head and analyzed, "I don't know, but I know my body recovered there, and many people there changed their original future. I think it's okay. As long as you are willing..."

"I have nothing to fear, right?"

This time, Tomoe had nothing to fear, and her body was no longer a human body. The only person she could rely on was Homura Akemi, and she would go wherever Homura Akemi wanted.

"Senpai, I will let you see someone later. That person actually told me all this information, but promise me not to be surprised when you see that person."

"Okay."

Mami nodded, but when she saw another Homura Akemi, she couldn't hide her surprise at all.

And the Time Traveler Homura waved at Tomoe Mami: "Senior."

"This..."

Tomoe Mami hadn't figured out what was going on. She knew the truth, but her mind was in a mess. Her cognition couldn't grasp the concept of time reversal. She felt her brain was crashing, but soon, when Akemi Homura received the notice of the store opening, it gave Tomoe Mami's confused mind a temporary reprieve.

"The Internet cafe is open, do you want to come with me?"

Tomoe Mami had no choice, and there was nothing to fear. Since Akemi Homura went there every day, she would definitely follow. Meanwhile, the Magical Girl Homura was pondering.

Finally, she nodded.

It must be admitted that Liu Yuan's promise touched her deeply. Facing a future with almost no hope alone, even if she was strong, her heart was heading towards collapse.

But now there is a chance to have stable companions no matter how she time travels, she wants to take a look.

Chapter 147: Tatsumi Who Wants to Make a Lot of Money

With the opening of the internet cafe, Liu Yuan smiled as he looked at the two people brought by Homura Akemi.

Kisara lay on the side and complained quietly, "Did you see that smile? Every time the boss smiles like that, he’s about to..."

"About to what?"

Behind them, Liu Yuan asked with a smile, "Dear Miss Demon, what are you trying to say?"

Kisara knew Liu Yuan’s character too well. If he used “Demon” to address her, it meant she was close to trouble.

"Gulp."

Kisara swallowed nervously, turned her head, and replied with the happiest smile she could muster, "We must start making money, right? Ah, it hurts!"

"Hehe."

Liu Yuan lightly tapped Kisara’s head with his right fist and then helped Homura Akemi and her group turn on the computers.

If it was just about turning on the computer and surfing the internet, and they didn’t need to do anything physically demanding, they were happy to try it with Homura Akemi leading them.

"Minecraft, this is the game Homura Akemi decided on. This game is perfect for magical girls. After clearing the game, they can transform into a Block Man to fully recover their bodies.

Now, Homura Akemi has one more job. While playing the game with Tomoe Mami, she also needs to hurry up and finish Terraria. Considering that Tatsumi usually releases a strategy in the afternoon, he will quickly finish playing MC in the morning with his companion and do the Terraria strategy in the afternoon.

It is estimated that before the Walpurgisnacht arrives, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

The highest difficulty is indeed very challenging, but with Tatsumi's help in creating strategies, their progress is rapidly improving.

Tatsumi has been working nonstop these days. Thanks to the internet cafe, he can’t waste time in reality. Otherwise, Tatsumi, who has an appointment with friends in the capital, would definitely feel awkward.

Look, today he still watched for a while, practiced for a while, recorded everything that wasn’t noted down, and integrated them into useful information, sending them to TT.

"Throw the guide’s voodoo doll into the hell or directly into the magma to summon the Wall of Flesh. Defeat it, and the world will change, turning into..."

Further down is the strategy for the Wall of Flesh that he has summarized. Many people in the internet cafe have plenty of time, and after Tatsumi clearly stated that he would help make the strategy, everyone sent any new discoveries to Tatsumi.

In the blink of an eye, it was five o’clock in the internet cafe. According to everyone’s information and his own verification, Tatsumi has successfully reached the stage in Terraria beyond the Meat Mountain.

The Crimson and the The Corruption began to spread throughout the land, and the monsters became more aggressive. After finishing these, Tatsumi, who was about to take a break, saw a message.

"Sir, can you please create a strategy for Red Alert? We will provide our experiences and the cost of purchasing the game."

Red Alert has been a very popular game since it was launched. Whether it’s the story mode or a simple battle in your spare time, it meets every customer’s needs.

Want a challenge? Go for the real difficulty battle. If your skills are lacking but you still want to have fun, you can find happiness playing against humans or machines. Just like a small piece of land, the skilled players will tacitly attack it. The outcome is unknown until the end.

However, the plot of Red Alert on real difficulty is universally recognized as the hardest. Currently, only one person has managed to clear it perfectly—Schwi. With the computing power of Ex Machina exceeding its original setting, she has learned how to boost morale.

Riku is the same. With his extraordinary computing power and complete inner closure, he treats all lives as numbers and finally clears the level with the determination to not lose his mind.

But their ability to clear the level doesn’t mean others can. Their success is also unrepeatable, but they still want their group to clear the level more. If one person dies accidentally, another will fill in.

Originally, Tatsumi did not consider making a strategy because there wasn’t enough time. Schwi could indeed do it, but her strategy was too detailed. One wrong step could lead to total failure.

But Tatsumi showed them a possibility. This newcomer seemed very happy to make a strategy. He asked for various information on TT every day and posted the methods he had tried and used.

After trying, Tatsumi's strategy was very effective and had a high error tolerance rate. Just like fighting the Eye of Cthulhu, using only the most basic bow and arrow, even though most players fighting this monster had already collected practical equipment in the world.

Because of this, they wanted to see if Tatsumi could create some simple strategies, even if a bit challenging, that everyone could follow to clear the level.

Even if it didn’t work, it would be fine, just consider it making a friend. Riku was very good at judging people. Tatsumi was definitely the kind of person who would do his best for his friends. Such people were worth befriending.

Tatsumi's expression was a little complicated when he received the request. He really wanted to accept it, but time and money didn’t allow it.

But soon, he stopped thinking about it. Because Riku promised that if he could make a strategy that ordinary people could follow, he would provide Tatsumi with all the weapons that appeared in the game and a mobile construction vehicle.

"Mobile construction vehicle? What is this?"

Tatsumi was confused. He had never played Red Alert, so he naturally didn’t know what it was.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Tatsumi motionless, Liu Yuan asked curiously, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Boss? Do you know what a mobile construction vehicle is? Someone asked me to make a guide, and said that if the guide I made could be followed by ordinary people, he would give me one."

"Oh, a base vehicle! With this, you can build machines and make firearms anywhere. Isn’t your place quite messy?"

"Yeah."

"With that, it's not a dream for you to rule the empire."

"Cough cough cough!"

Tatsumi couldn’t help coughing violently, his heart beating rapidly. As a countryman, his biggest dream was to get ahead of life. If he could even rule the empire, he could definitely become ahead in a literal sense.

"Slow down."

Liu Yuan patted Tatsumi on the back: "That's the truth. The Terraria you are playing now can get you weapons and equipment, but this game can make you qualified to rule the world. Do you want to try it?"

"Yes!"

Tatsumi agreed excitedly, but then his eyes dimmed. "But I don't have enough money. I guess this money is only enough for me to finish playing Terraria."

"Stupid, I've said it before, you can bring some valuable things or dangerous species from your world. If that doesn't work, you can buy on credit. You are an honest man. I believe you will definitely pay back when you have money."

"I will!"

With this promise, Tatsumi excitedly started two games. He wanted to get the Zenith Sword and the promised mobile construction vehicle.

"I've decided! I must make a lot of money!"

Chapter 148: The Water in the Imperial Capital is Too Deep

The Imperial Capital, the capital of the entire empire, is also the largest city. Becoming a person of high power here is the dream of everyone who arrives in the Imperial Capital.

Looking at the prosperous hotel, he wanted to go in and order some food, but when he looked at the remaining money in his hand, he realized it was probably not enough for a week of Internet access. He needed to save a little.

Now he had to do two things: find his companions who set out first, and then take his companions to the Internet and make money in this city, make a lot of money, and make his hometown rich after becoming a big shot.

However...

He looked at the guns in the system backpack. According to Liu Yuan's recommendation, he not only bought Red Alert, but also bought Elden Ring and Resident Evil. These two games could provide him with props to help hunt Danger Beasts.

He believed it because Liu Yuan said that if it wasn't useful, he wouldn't charge money.

He also tried it; these were indeed useful. He paid but did not hunt Danger Beasts because he felt that using these to become a soldier and a superior person might make more money than hunting Danger Beasts. One week is a short time, but it is enough for him to try.

While walking on the street, he found something very strange. Many people on the street had red health bars above their heads, some very light, and some very dark.

This was something he had never seen before. He also bought the two most basic games and had a system backpack. Unfortunately, the system backpack could only hold items obtained in the game; other things could not be placed in it.

"What are these?"

While walking, he suddenly noticed that a girl protected by many bodyguards had a deep red health bar above her, with the word "enemy" marked on it.

"Huh?"

The girl's name was Arya, with long golden wavy hair, a delicate face, and gorgeous clothes that made people feel good upon seeing her.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Before Tatsumi made a move, the girl approached him first. If it was before, he would have been nervous when approached by such a cute girl and might have thought she was a good person based on his first impression.

But after playing some games and understanding the function of the health bar, he became alert.

"It's my first time in the capital. I have no money and don't know what to do."

Tatsumi was telling the truth. Although he was pure, he was not stupid. To be promoted smoothly in the big city, he learned how to disguise himself under the guidance of retired soldiers in his hometown.

Besides, he didn't need to disguise himself. He just smiled and pretended to know nothing.

"Is that so? My name is Arya. Do you want to come to my house to be my bodyguard? I can give you delicious food and a lot of money."

"Can I?"

"Of course!"

Tatsumi had to admit that this woman gave him a very good first impression, but the blood-red health bar reminded him that this woman was not simple, and he could not fall into her trap.

Following Arya to her home, her parents immediately gave Tatsumi a friendly welcome. He catered to them on the surface but remained alert in his heart.

Because her parents also had health bars, and the word "big enemy" was enough to confirm his suspicion.

One day, they smiled until night and assigned Tatsumi a good room. As it got dark, Tatsumi took action. The symbol of an enemy doesn't appear out of thin air, and he had to investigate the mansion carefully.

The mansion was large, and the security was very strict. It was a pity that these people mainly focused on the outside and the owner and his relatives. There was no strict patrol in other places. No one thought that Tatsumi, a countryman, would not launch a sneak attack but explore other areas.

He searched half of it and smelled blood in front of a warehouse.

This warehouse did not even have security personnel, and he easily entered. But the moment he did, he felt as if his heart stopped.

His childhood sweetheart Sayu and his best friend Ieyasu.

"!!!"

The moment he saw them, Tatsumi's head was in a mess. Sayu was in a very bad state, with many scars. In a seriously injured state, it seemed she only had one breath left. Ieyasu was better than Sayu, with more breath left, but it seemed she could not survive.

The water in this Imperial Capital is too deep.

"Damn it!"

His anger burned in his heart, but he controlled it and opened TT for help.

"Can anyone help me? I'll do anything for you."

This short sentence was enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.

Tatsumi was a newcomer who had joined the Internet cafe less than half a month ago. However, almost everyone knew this newcomer. Since he joined, he had been making guides based on the information provided by everyone.

Every guide was posted by him after he personally tested it and found it useful. Almost all players agreed that Tatsumi's guides were foolproof. After reading them, they felt that even if they were newcomers, they could pass the game by following his guides.

After a while, everyone had a good impression of him even though they had never met him.

Before anyone asked what was going on, Liu Yuan replied directly: "Don't panic when something happens. Explain the danger you are in, what kind of assistance you need, what the on-site environment is like, and whether there are special treatment methods in your world."

Liu Yuan's words woke Tatsumi up. He sorted out his thoughts and replied: "My friends has been tortured to death. Help me save my friends. It's very dangerous here. There are many monsters. I can't kill them all..."

Tatsumi had a certain understanding of his own strength. He could deal with Danger Beasts, but there were too many people in the mansion. He couldn't handle it, especially since his best friends and childhood sweetheart were there.

Akemi Homura: "I can help."

Yoshida Saki: "I can too."

Namikaze Minato: "I can fight a little, Kushina can treat a little, and both of us can come."

Subaru Natsuki, Fujimaru Kaoru, and Tina also said they could help, and some were even ready to pay to apply to go to Tatsumi's world to help.

Seeing the people ready to help, Liu Yuan gave up the idea and started to dispatch: "Minato, go. Yoshida Saki or Akemi Homura will do. Remember to bring the golden apple."

Almost instantly, the few people Liu Yuan mentioned appeared in the warehouse where Tatsumi was. The moment they arrived, Yoshida Saki felt a little nauseous because of physical discomfort.

Minato Namikaze was also scared when he saw this scene. Konoha has the Anbu, and they will interrogate prisoners, but no matter what, they will not torture to this extent. At most, they will cut the neck with a knife and obtain the memory in the brain through special secret techniques, but this...

The hair was gone, there was no intact skin on the body, and even the teeth in the mouth were broken.

Kushina did not hesitate and directly treated Sayu, who was the most seriously injured.

"I can only prolong her life, but I can't completely cure her..."

"Just feed this to her."

Yoshida Saki also took out the golden apple. The golden apple can restore life after eating, and if the body is incomplete, it can even grow bones and flesh.

"Thank you, thank you."

At this moment, Tatsumi's tears flowed. He vowed that he would do his best to repay these friendly "companions" from the Internet cafe.

Chapter 149: The Killing in the Imperial Capital is About to Begin

Sayu and Ieyasu's bodies are recovering. According to Kushina's estimation, their physical injuries can be fully healed in ten minutes at most. As for the psychological damage, it is impossible to assess.

Minato Namikaze interrupted Tatsumi's thanks.

"Now is not the time for gratitude. We can stay in this world for twelve hours. Let's get you out of here."

"Okay!"

Tatsumi carried Ieyasu on his back, and Kushina picked up Sayu. Just as the six of them were about to break through, the sound of fighting came from outside.

An unknown force was killing people indiscriminately in the mansion.

Minato Namikaze shouted, "This is a good opportunity, go!"

However, before they could leave the mansion, they were stopped by members of an assassination team entering from outside.

Leone: "Be careful, that golden-haired guy is very strong!"

Bulat looked at Tatsumi and his group: "He's not in the intelligence report, and they seem to be rescuing people?"

Lubbock smiled and said, "But if they've met us, we can't let them go."

Listening to their conversation, Minato Namikaze realized that it couldn't end peacefully.

"You leave, I'll hold them back."

Yoshida Saki introduced herself: "I know all the abilities of Minecraft. How about we go underground?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately understood why Yoshida Saki had to come. There are many ways to heal people. Even without the golden apple, using the power of the golden tree is possible, but it takes longer.

But now it seemed that asking Yoshida Saki to come was not just for treatment, but to make it easier for them to escape without causing a large ruckus.

"Leave it to me, I'll hold them back."

Minato Namikaze fought with the assassins of the Night Raid, and one thing he noticed was, group that stopped him had no killing intent from beginning to end.

However, the other people in the mansion had health bars on their heads.

He was very curious about who the enemy was when summoning the Mimic Tear at this time.

Was it those who stopped him or those with health bars?

So Minato Namikaze threw a smoke bomb on the spot, and while covering Tatsumi and his group's evacuation, he rang the Spirit-Calling Bell.

Another Minato Namikaze appeared, and his figure disappeared the moment he materialized. Almost instantly, screams were heard throughout the mansion. With simple and quick killing, all the bodyguards, servants, and the owner and eldest lady of the mansion died suddenly.

Whether hiding in rooms, cellars, or other places, they were all killed.

However, the Mimic Tear that completed the killing did not stop but set its sights on the Night Raid who arrived. The moment it did, it's face showed a humanized expression of disgust.

Leone who frowned at this, complained, "Are we being looked down upon?"

Bulat warned vigilantly, "Be careful, he's very strong, we..."

"Shh~"

Minato Namikaze appeared behind him, with a kunai at his neck and said, "If you move again, someone will die."

This was not a mockery but a truthful statement. At the moment of action, Minato Namikaze felt the breath of a dragon. He thought he could have a big fight, but he didn't expect that this breath came from the armor of the man in front of him.

Mine's tone was a little anxious: "What should we do?"

Bulat made a decision directly: "The mission target is dead, the mission is complete. Don't get into disputes with irrelevant people."

"Can't...kill..."

Akame, the person with the best killing skills in the entire group, clearly felt that the blond man in front of her was not an ordinary person and might even surpass the legendary Esdeath.

Just now, she didn't catch the speed of Minato Namikaze's actions at all. He seemed to appear there in an instant.

Appear in an instant? She suddenly had a bad idea in her mind.

"Let me see Tatsumi's commission: kill all monsters. You..."

The people in front of him were judged by the system as humans, not monsters. Since they were humans, they were not the mission target.

However, after standing on a high place and looking into the city, Minato Namikaze couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems I have accepted an incredible mission. How long will it take to kill so many people? Forget it, it's rare to meet so many 'monsters,' so just relax and practice street fighting."

Being a Konoha Ninja, Minato Namikaze misunderstood Tatsumi's mission request. The "monster" that Tatsumi asked for help to kill was from this mansion, but Minato Namikaze saw so many red-named 'monsters' in the town and subconsciously thought that Tatsumi felt overwhelmed and asked for help to clean them all.

Since he was here, he might as well deal with it. With only twelve hours, Minato Namikaze felt it would be a bit troublesome for such a big town, so he had to opt towards other means.

As a ninja, no matter what the mission reward is, as long as he accepts the mission, he must do his best to complete it.

"No time to play house with you guys, bye~"

Since the other party was human, he didn't kill them when they first met. Minato Namikaze was ready to take action after making sure Tatsumi and his companions had run far away.

"Kill from the outside to the inside. Whoever runs out of this circle will be killed first."

The huge golden light in the sky enveloped the entire capital.

The Power of the Elden Lord was unleashed at this moment.

With the appearance of the light, Minato Namikaze and the Mimic Tear disappeared.

When Minato Namikaze disappeared, the Night Raid all broke out in a cold sweat.

They saw Minato Namikaze summon this golden barrier with their own eyes.

Bulat's Incursio was lifted in it's armor state at this moment, and the Teigu of the others seemed to feel something in the air, they suddenly went inactivate and couldn't be used.

Teigu is a weapon made of materials from Super-Class Danger Beasts through special technology. Even if they are dead, when they feel the power of gods, they will completely give up all resistance.

And Minato Namikaze killed one demigod and god after another with his own strength, and finally became the Elden Lord in Elden Ring.

When the power of the Elden Ring erupts, any life sensetive to it's power has only two choices: surrender or fight. These weapons chose to surrender.

Because Tatsumi was underground and did not see the situation outside, when Yoshida Saki dug three and filled one, Tatsumi asked worriedly, "Will Mr. Minato be okay?"

"Don't worry! Although his strength is still good~ Hey, hey, hey?"

When Kushina was about to brag about her husband, she suddenly received a message from Minato Namikaze.

"Come and help, it's a bit troublesome."

"Not good." Kushina said seriously: "I'll go help him after sending you to a safe place."

"Do you need my help?"

Kushina rejected Tatsumi's request: "You are the applicant for the task, we are the ninjas who accept the task, you just need to wait patiently. We will complete your task. It's just that she..."

"I'm fine!"

Tatsumi hugged Sayu, holding one in front and one on the back. Fortunately, there were no enemies blocking him, so it was not difficult to move.

After Yoshida Saki dug a tunnel diagonally to send Kushina out, she continued to dig forward. She was not good at fighting, but she was not boastful about digging tunnels. Even Akemi Homura could not beat her.

While digging the tunnel to escape, Kushina also walked up.

"I thought the enemies Tatsumi mentioned were only around the mansion, but I didn't expect so many... Big fox, it's work time."

"No!"

The voice of the Nine-Tails appeared in Kushina's consciousness. She found that it was becoming more and more difficult to instruct the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails was lying in the seal, drinking Coke, eating potato chips, and watching the Legend of Sword and Fairy, saying, "Tomorrow I want to eat Ichiraku Ramen, otherwise I won't do it."

Although the food in the Internet cafe is delicious, Ichiraku Ramen is also very special. This kind of food that can be obtained for free, so Nine-Tails feels its more delicious than the food that costs money.

"Okay! I'll give you so much you die."

With Kushina's promise, the power of the Nine-Tails instantly covered Kushina's body. One of the strongest in the empire in the town discovered Kushina at the first moment.

A big battle seemed about to begin.

However, his appearance made Minato Namikaze and Kushina feel a little difficult because the mission was to kill the red-named 'monsters', not a normal person with strong strength who doesn't even have a hostile named tag.

Chapter 150: Minato Namikaze Quickly Clears the Level and Kills the Corrupted in the Imperial Capital

Minato Namikaze did not use Flying Thunder God to assassinate all of them one by one. Instead, he took out the Erdtree Seal from his backpack and prepared to use an Incantation.

He took out the Modified Physick that increases the damage of the holy attribute, and after drinking it, he had unlimited willpower for the next twenty seconds.

Golden light appeared on his body, and golden meteors flew out of his body one after another. The golden meteors enveloped the entire Imperial Capital, and wherever the golden light went, there were screams.

Blocked? Not possible. These golden meteors seemed to have wisdom and would bypass all obstacles to accurately hit their targets.

General Budo, the strongest person in the Imperial Capital now, showed a stern expression when he saw these golden meteors. This power was completely beyond his imagination. Teigu? There was no such Teigu at all. If there were, either the Empire or the rebels would have been gone long ago, and it wouldn’t have dragged on until now.

Most of the people attacked by this golden light were extremely corrupt individuals and some high ranking officials. He couldn't let this meteor continue. He had to stop the person who released this meteor.

However, just as he rushed out, a red-haired woman blocked him.

"I can't let you interrupt his spell~"

"Who?"

"Me? Just an ordinary ninja who accepted a mission. Nine-tailed Fox!"

After speaking, Kushina put her palms together, and the Nine-tailed Fox in her body did the same.

Instantly, a powerful force burst out from Kushina's body, and the nine chakra tails behind her made Budo look at her vigilantly. This woman was very dangerous, even more dangerous than Esdeath.

The golden light continued to kill, and General Budo had no time to delay. He took the initiative to launch an attack, but what awaited him was the terrifying power of the Jinchūriki.

From Kushina's perspective, General Budo had no health bar and was not the target of this mission. If he tried to stop her, she would at most make him temporarily lose the power to fight, but would not really hurt him.

What is a monster judged by the system? The guests of the Internet cafe had some discussions on this point.

Subaru Natsuki felt that they were enemies because many of the people he fought had health bars.

Fujimaru Kaoru said that she would beat people regardless of health bars, and those who could be skinned would be skinned, and those who couldn’t be skinned would be burned to ashes and buried. No matter what was done, it was up to her to kill or bury them.

Zhongli believed that the root of this judgment was human nature. Those who were not human but had the power to hurt others were monsters, and those who had human skin but no human nature were also monsters. Killing that did not meet the needs of survival and actions that violated the ethics and morals of all life were monstrous. Just like the killing caused by victory between countries would not be judged as monstrous, but those who killed innocent people for fun would be judged as monsters.

Minato Namikaze was not sure he could kill all these monsters in twelve hours, but it was possible to kill those whose health bars had become boss-level.

For example, the ministers in the minister's mansion and his subordinates.

The golden light seemed like the light of judgment. After tonight, legends of gods would appear in this country, but these had nothing to do with Tatsumi. Led by Yoshida Saki, he successfully escaped from the Imperial Capital carrying one person in his arms.

"Huh, it's safe~"

Yoshida Saki wiped the sweat from her forehead. There is no physical strength setting for excavation in the game, but there is in reality. Thanks to the series of professional training she underwent with the help of the SPW Foundation, and the continuous use of high-energy food to replenish physical strength during the excavation process, she hadn’t collapsed long ago.

"Yes, it's safe, but..."

Tatsumi looked at the Imperial Capital. Originally, the tall walls of the Imperial Capital were a symbol of majesty in his eyes, but now they seemed like cages, locking everyone in and allowing those man-eating monsters to enjoy them.

"What is going on in this world..."

Tatsumi felt that his worldview had collapsed. Although he was born in the countryside and had experienced some oppression, it had not yet reached the level of cannibalism, but this Imperial Capital had "cannibalism" written inside and out.

Yoshida Saki sat aside and recalled the historical evaluation in a book. After thinking for a while, she replied, "Maybe it is the inevitable result before the demise of a feudal empire?"

"What?"

Yoshida Saki said embarrassedly, "I don't know much about this, but the teacher talked about it in class. Oh! There is also something about productivity and production relations..."

Her grades were just average, and she didn't learn these things in history in depth, just an impression.

But she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be able to learn relevant knowledge in the Internet cafe.

"I don't understand these, but if you play Red Alert, it seems that you can learn relevant knowledge. If productivity is developed, the lives of the people suffering at the bottom should be guaranteed, right?"

Yoshida Saki recalled the situation of various major countries in the world. Whether it was the island country where she lived, the continent opposite the island country, or the European countries, the worst living conditions might be better than this so-called empire.

A society where animals can talk about rights, a society where humans are treated as animals—who is good and who is bad can still be compared.

Tatsumi clenched his fists. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had entered the Internet cafe. Although it costs a lot of money every day, he had the opportunity to master power and knowledge.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I used the strategy you wrote. It's really useful."

Tatsumi's strategy clearly described how to build a platform and how to fly a kite. According to the strategy, she saved a lot of trial-and-error costs, and even killed many bosses at the first sight.

"This is all I can do..."

"What I told you is also what I can do."

Yoshida Saki did not leave but took a pickaxe to dig a deep pit around, leaving three main exits and six hidden exits. Feeling that there was no danger, she chose to return to her world.

TT

Yoshida Saki: "If there is anything I can do, just call me."

"Okay, thank you~"

Namikaze Minato: "Kushina and I have defeated the large bosses, and the smaller ones will be left to you."

Namikaze Minato had deeper considerations. He could see that Tatsumi was the kind of person with a strong sense of justice. Such a large city was so corrupt, he dared not imagine what other places were like.

The remaining amount was enough for Tatsumi to gain prestige in the Imperial Capital. If he had enough prestige, it would be a good thing even if he replaced the emperor of the country or became a minister to carry out reforms.

In the dim basement, Tatsumi was still in a daze.

"Tatsumi... do it."

Sayu's voice in the dark room broke Tatsumi's silence.

"Sayu? How do you feel?"

"Feeling? Very good."

Sayu sat up in the dark and said with full energy, "That bastard can't defeat me with just some skills."

But then her tone changed, "Just do it, we will accompany Tatsumi. We have nothing to fear."

Sayu, who had witnessed the decay of the empire, had nothing to fear anymore. Thinking back to the beastly merchant, if it was just a merchant, what would this empire be like? And there was no need to work hard for this kind of an empire.

Since her companions were thinking about how to overthrow the empire, they can do it together. Sayu had already died once, so it wouldn't matter if she, Ieyasu and Tatsumi died again.
