Chapter 151: Tatsumi's Teacher 'Yuri'

The Internet cafe opened again. As soon as it did, Tatsumi entered and placed a huge amount of Danger Beast meat and materials on the table.

"How much can these be sold for?"

"Four hundred."

"All sold."

Tatsumi's mental state had recovered. The only thing he needed to do now was get money. Only with money could he go online, and only online could he enter the game world and get what he wanted.

Liu Yuan, who was standing by, felt the change in Tatsumi: "Young man, do you have any needs now?"

"Needs? I want to change my world."

Young boys always have inner conflicts for a while. If he hadn't entered the Internet cafe, his words would have been the typical boast of a middle schooler. No matter how capable he was, his background, mind, and personal ability destined him to become a qualified soldier or a general, but never a wise man or someone who could change the world.

But after entering this Internet cafe, he had a chance.

"If you want to change the world, I recommend you play Red Alert. You can play any version except the first generation, even mods. But I personally recommend Mental Omega, where the systems of various countries are very complete, and the four factions also have their own thoughts on the world, which can meet all your needs."

"Really?"

Liu Yuan nodded: "Really. As long as you can apply the knowledge there, you can achieve the change of your own country. Creation is difficult, but I believe you can definitely do it by learning and practicing these summarized experiences."

Tatsumi took a deep breath and thanked Liu Yuan: "Thank you, boss."

"You are a guest, so I will naturally meet all your reasonable needs. Go! Go online."

Tatsumi sat at the machine. Terraria still had to continue, but before continuing, he was going to open Red Alert to try it out.

After choosing and choosing, he selected the Mental Omega version that Schwi wanted him to make a guide for.

"Well, which one should I choose?"

Tatsumi didn't know much about Epsilon, the Allies, the Soviets, and the Foehn. He felt that this faction with a purple background seemed quite interesting, so he entered it directly. The moment he entered the game, he heard someone calling him.

"Oh, my dear Proselyte."

"Me?"

Tatsumi looked around in confusion. Terraria had already made him adapt to the feeling of reality in the game. The guide in the game was very real, giving him a sense of intimacy.

But the bald man who suddenly appeared in front of him made him feel exposed.

"Internet cafe? Empire? It seems that you had a nightmare, Proselyte. There is still some time before our PsiCorps arrive. During this time, I am happy to provide some psychological counseling for my most outstanding Proselyte."

At this moment, Tatsumi had a plot memory belonging to the game character "Proselyte."

The Proselyte, a special talent cultivated by Yuri, had a strong psychic talent and loyalty. This time, the mission was to control the US military bases along the coast by using PsiCorps disguised as civilians to destroy all their missile launch bases.

Tatsumi was not in the mood to explain his thoughts to Yuri for the time being. He just accepted the task and prepared to carry it out.

On the intelligence system, he saw that the PsiCorps were infiltrating and obtaining specific data of the missile bases. Then he would control some PsiCorps to attack the largest missile base.

The method of controlling PsiCorps was very interesting, making him feel like he was playing a game.

"Interesting..."

Accompanied by this interesting sound, the PsiCorp he controlled was crushed to death by a passing US military truck.

"Game failed"

"?"

Tatsumi looked at the result of this failure, dumbfounded. How could he fail?

"Come again!"

Tatsumi chose to restart the game. When he started the game again, Yuri appeared beside him once more.

"Internet cafe? Empire? It seems that you have had a nightmare, Proselyte. It will take some time before our PsiCorps arrive. During this time, I am happy to provide some psychological counseling for my most outstanding Proselyte."

The repeated lines made Tatsumi feel a little weird. This time he wanted to summarize the experience of his previous failures. The person he controlled could be crushed to death, so he had to operate carefully.

However, while he was thinking, Yuri said with relief, "Simulating a possible failure scenario? You did a great job, Proselyte, but I want to remind you that no one will command their subordinates to walk on the road."

"..."

Tatsumi was silent. If he was right, he had just commanded his subordinates to walk on the road, and then they were hit by a car and died?

"It seems that our Proselyte is a little nervous. If you have any questions before the PsiCorps arrive, just ask me. We have a close relationship. You can call me Yuri or the political commissar."

"Political commissar..."

It's amazing. It's just in the game, but Tatsumi trusted him. He hesitated for a while and then spoke: "Commissar, I have a question, if in..."

"The feudal empire has nuclear bombs, right?"

"I..."

"It seems that my guess is right, dear Proselyte. Remember, in any era, people will only follow you if you satisfy their desires. Nuclear bombs are powerful, but you can control the hearts of those who use them."

"I...but I..."

Before Tatsumi could finish speaking, Yuri reminded him, "Our PsiCorp has arrived at the target location, Proselyte. Perform well."

He began his performance. The game plot of Epsilon is much better than that of the Allies, which started in a nightmare. At least in the first stage of the mission, he only needed to be a little cautious based on the intelligence of the intelligence department and the information from the PsiCorp.

However, Tatsumi made another mistake. Because he was not familiar with the road conditions, he asked the PsiCorp to take a detour. During the detour, he controlled a soldier who began to attack the surroundings, but the PsiCorp was killed by a stray bullet.

Looking at the failed interface, he took a deep breath and started the game again. Tatsumi had no talent for games, and his command talent seemed like a joke, but every time Yuri started, he patiently explained the mission to him and was very pleased with the various possibilities imagined by the "Proselyte."

And every time Yuri started, he would chat with Tatsumi.

The development of the empire, the future of the empire, how to mobilize the people, how to get ordinary people in the Imperial Capital to join the team.

During this process, Yuri gave him a copy of Das Kapital.

"If this is your fantasy world, I feel this book will be useful to you."

Yuri had big dreams and ambitions, but he understood one thing: the development of everything must conform to objective laws. In this era, he could let go of his dreams. But if it were a feudal empire, his way might not be suitable.

Chapter 152: The Base Vehicle of Killing Akari

It took Tatsumi more than six hours to successfully clear the first level. Looking at the recommended completion time and the number of restarts given by the system, he felt a bit numb. He first summarized his game experience and the skills that need attention in every detail, then sent them to the TT forum and began to think.

While thinking, Schwi sent him an email containing a valuable gift: a mobile construction vehicle.

"This is a deposit. Your first strategy made Rick and me think you have potential. We will give you a base vehicle with different construction permissions based on your completion of the strategy."

"Thank you very much!!" Tatsumi replied excitedly. The constant restarts during the game had helped him gradually understand the worldview of this game and how powerful the base construction vehicle could be.

The deposit Schwi referred to was a Soviet base vehicle with only one technology, equivalent to the game's combat mode.

With the mobile construction vehicle, Tatsumi could put more ideas into practice. In the game, he knew that the mobile construction vehicle had many functions. In addition to building structures, it could even produce many things to a certain extent. After all, soldiers needed food and clothes, and it had the capability to build simple production workshops.

The mobile construction vehicle provided by Schwi did not unlock highly complex technology; so these basic resource functionalities were preserved.

What did this mean? It meant he was qualified for industrialization. Industrialization through mobile construction vehicles meant mass production of food and clothes, attracting people to join him through these basic necessities.

In this chaotic world, survival was difficult for many. Regardless of age or gender, many would work hard as long as they were given food. This meant he could meet the first condition: population.

This aligned with Yuri's teachings. According to Yuri, in such chaos, food could secure loyal subordinates. Children, in particular, were the easiest to cultivate. Many who suffered from a young age would remain loyal if given a little sweetness.

Now that Tatsumi had all the conditions, he could skip many preliminary steps and start the most critical one: recruiting population.

At this moment, he realized the true value of the mobile construction vehicle.

TT

Tatsumi: "Thank you very much!!"

Schwi: "This is just our investment and attempt. Our world needs more senior commanders."

In Rick and Schwi's world, with Schwi's help, human culture and technology were rapidly advancing. They couldn't match advanced races, but humans needed to be able to fight low-ranking races such as the beastmen.

They needed more advanced technology and more people to gain knowledge, to bring out the resources of the Red Alert world. The resources brought out by each person were limited. With more people, the plan to elevate humanity could definitely be completed.

Schwi: "Come on, stay alive, and come up with a strategy quickly."

Schwi might be the first person in the entire Internet cafe to urge for more updates for strategy guides, a Machine.

"I will!" Tatsumi responded.

After recovering, Tatsumi brought his childhood sweetheart and best friend to the base.

Looking at the huge and gorgeous base, Sayu was so shocked that she couldn't speak: "Tatsumi, was this brought by the gods?"

"Yes!" Tatsumi nodded vigorously and said, "I will take you to meet everyone in the future, but before that, I have a plan, a plan to overthrow this empire and build a country where everyone can have enough food. Are you willing to listen?"

It sounded crazy, but for those who had died once, going crazy with their best friend seemed like a good choice.

"Let's do it. I'm already fed up with this imperial capital. What emperor, what minister, all of them, go to hell."

Sayu didn't say much, just stretched out her fist and pointed it at Tatsumi.

They had left the village together to join the army in the imperial capital and make a name for themselves, but as soon as they left home, they were deceived by the nobles and almost killed.

They had experienced death, so why fear resistance? What's more, wasn't there a magical Tatsumi?

As for what Tatsumi had experienced, the two friends did not ask too much. They believed that Tatsumi would tell them when the time was right.

"What is the name of our organization?"

Sayu's question made Tatsumi feel torn. He had not learned much culture and couldn't think of a good name. When he thought of the games he played today, his eyes lit up: "How about Epsilon?"

"What a strange name..." Sayu did not understand the meaning of the name, but Ieyasu on the side said excitedly, "What a cool name, let's call it Epsilon."

So, in Tatsumi's world, Epsilon, which originally meant to go against ordinary people's consciousness, became an organization that resisted the empire and bring unity to all.

Tatsumi was young after all. Yuri often called him Proselyte in the game, and he felt a little brainwashed.

So he set the code name for the three of them as Proselytes. The first step of their task was very simple. Sayu would stay to control the textile factory and food processing factory built by the mobile construction vehicle, while Tatsumi and Ieyasu went to the imperial capital to win people over to their camp.

The two of them had already thought of the target to win over. It would be best if they were ordinary people who had been abused by the imperial nobles or were wandering, especially children. Tatsumi knew the feeling of hunger and didn't want to see hungry children.

The operation of the textile factory was very simple. All you had to do was get cotton or designated plant fibers to make very silky industrial clothing. Food was even simpler. You could throw in anything edible and mass-produce compressed food. Although it didn't taste good, it was filling.

You could even throw in non-toxic plants directly, and the compressed food processed by the machine could be eaten directly. The taste was no different from chewing leaves directly. But again, it could replenish energy and fill you up.

At the same time, Tatsumi also decided to write down everything he saw and heard in the imperial capital and consult his political commissar Yuri when he played Red Alert tomorrow.

He didn't fully understand what Epsilon was doing yet, but with Yuri's guidance, he knew what he wanted to do and what he could do.

The only shortcoming now was that there was no population. With more people, his side would develop faster.

But then Tatsumi suddenly thought of something. If it was just a few of them, it would be useless to try to attract people.

He decided to falsify their testimony and say that they were from the Epsilon branch and that the main force was gathering with the Revolutionary Army in the north. Although it borrowed the name of the Revolutionary Army, it would at least attract people. Otherwise, they might be considered liars.

"By the way, let's produce some food before going over. With supplies, they will believe us more."

Chapter 153 Epsilon Night Raid Branch

Ieyasu has no experience, but Tatsumi, who has talked with Yuri countless times, has a mature tone and momentum.

It is very troublesome to enter the city now. Because of the influence of Minato Namikaze, a large number of officials and merchants died, and now the soldiers inside and outside the city are strictly checking everyone. However, the appearance of Tatsumi and Ieyasu was not exposed. After entering the imperial capital, the two did not act recklessly but walked normally like passersby.

While walking, Tatsumi suddenly saw a familiar person.

Leone, a blonde woman with revealing clothes, was there when he met the assassins that night.

Leone, who was walking, felt Tatsumi's gaze, and her pupils shrank the moment she saw him. She was an assassin of the Night Raid, specializing in assassinating those who were unjust in the town or had a major impact on the resistance.

But the failure of this assassination, and the "miracle" launched by Minato Namikaze, directly brought the entire Night Raid to a standstill. All the people who were planned to be assassinated died, and those who were not in the plan and even had contact with Night Raid also died.

Night Raid could not find any pattern at all among these people who died. Officials, nobles, merchants, civilians—all of them. What puzzled them was that the little Emperor was not dead, and General Bud was not dead either.

Even General Bud was just unconscious after fighting with the woman who looked stronger than Esdeath, and he was not even injured when he woke up.

Considering the current situation in the imperial capital, Night Raid is now in a free-to-act state, without any missions, and everyone can act at will, but any behavior that could expose themselves is prohibited.

Leone thought that she was free anyway, so she came out for a drink, and who did she see? One of the group of people who did the massacre.

"Hello, little brother!"

"Hello."

Leone smelled the other person's breath, which was very strange. The other person's breath seemed to be that of a bigshot but also like an ordinary swordsman. Generally speaking, there is only one possibility for this situation: that a high ranking official did not disguise himself as a civilian well. Combined with what she saw that day, she directly confirmed her idea.

"Hehe~ Such a cute guy~ Shall we do something fun?"

While talking, she tried to seduce Tatsumi with her body. If it was Tatsumi of yesterday, he would be 100% seduced. Although he has a childhood sweetheart, Sayu, in his life, he is too familiar with her and doesn't feel anything even in the most intimate actions.

But if it was a mature woman, Tatsumi days ago would definitely be shy or even fascinated. But now, the moment he was hugged, he actually thought of the bald man.

Yuri's advice appeared in his ears.

"We can have desires, but in the process of achieving our goals, we should not be controlled by other desires."

This was originally said to Tatsumi, who caused the death of two PsiCorps because he was greedy in his moves, but for some reason, he felt that this sentence was just right for here.

The original soft touch made Tatsumi feel like he was touching ordinary flesh and fat, and the physiological impulse was successfully suppressed by his brain.

"Please let me go."

"Tsk, boring."

Leone didn't dare to mess around. The power displayed by Minato Namikaze and Kushina that night was already a psychological shadow for Night Raid. Some of them even felt that fighting was meaningless and it was better to wait for death in the face of such a strong man.

This is why they were released to relax. Facing such a god-like existence really destroyed their mentality.

Tatsumi didn't let Leone go. He asked directly: "Are you from the imperial capital?"

"Yes~ Do you need me to do anything? But I need a reward."

"Take me to the slums. I need some people who can work for me."

At this moment, she was silent. She looked at Tatsumi vigilantly and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I want them to be well fed, I want them to have a safe living environment, and I want to overthrow the emperor and the nobles."

"What?"

Leone was shocked. She looked into Tatsumi's eyes. Although there was no expression on his face, his eyes were serious, without any evasion or turbidity.

"How will you do it?"

"I have this."

Tatsumi took out a piece of 'cookie,' which was made in the food processing plant built by the base vehicle.

Leone took it and stuffed it directly into her mouth. The slightly bitter taste was not delicious, but it was not difficult to swallow. As a killer, she knew that this was a food that could quickly provide energy and satiety to the body.

For those poor people who can't even eat enough, this alone is enough to make them work hard.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to make more food and more clothes. I need manpower, and I need absolutely loyal manpower."

Tatsumi didn't reveal his intelligence. Although they had met once, the other party was still a stranger, and he had to be wary of strangers. This was what Yuri emphasized to him when he was advancing the Mental Omega plot. As a result, he controlled the PsiCorp to use psychic power in front of the crowd, which led to the exposure of the action and the failure of a mission.

Leone was conflicted, but considering the powerful strength behind Tatsumi and the magic of this food, she nodded.

"I know where it is. You won't hurt them, right?"

"Yes, I will never hurt any innocent people at any time. I just want to give them jobs that can provide them with stable food."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Being born in the slums, Leone naturally knew how cruel the slums were. She led Tatsumi to the slums.

Leone led them to the alleys of dilapidated houses, turning left and right. Leone stretched out her hand: "People here are willing to do anything for you as long as you give them food, anything..."

Men, women, and children. Elderly? Civilians may still live to old age, but if they are poor, they will never live to old age in this life. The average age of people in the slums is less than fifteen years old because slightly older women can sell themselves and men can be cheap labor.

Only adults with physical disabilities or diseases and children who have no autonomy at all are abandoned here. They have only one goal: to fill their stomachs and survive.

Looking at these people, Tatsumi took a deep breath. "Help me find five suitable people."

"Okay."

Although Tatsumi is younger than her, Leone feels like she has been seen through from the inside out when she stands in front of Tatsumi.

In fact, this is just because Tatsumi has faced the bald man Yuri too many times. He has been seen through to his core and has developed a demeanor similar to Yuri. This demeanor makes people subconsciously feel that the other party knows the color of their underwear.

But in fact, what Tatsumi's brain is thinking now is 'it is really big'. Yes, his brain can control his body from being affected by desire, but now when someone helps him, he still can't help but complain.

As for taking a few more glances? It's totally unnecessary. Compared with the body, he is now more looking forward to the opening of the Internet cafe tomorrow and having an in-depth exchange with the political commissar.

Chapter 154 Tatsumi Plans to Overthrow the Empire

"What are these...?"

The empire has firearms, but these firearms are not produced on an assembly line; they are "customized" weapons made from materials from Danger Beast. Although there is no significant difference in power compared to orthodox firearms, the production is extremely rare and the production methods are lost or hidden.

But what did she see now? The strange building was actually producing a large number of firearms, food, and clothing. The people recruited by Tatsumi who were suitable for fighting were sent to the strange building, lying on the bed and wearing helmets on their heads. Can they come down to fight in a while?

Even children with physical disabilities can be equipped with mechanical limbs and walk normally or even work.

"This? We call it a base vehicle, which can move and quickly unfold to be erected. After unfolding, it can build buildings and produce some necessities."

Tatsumi introduced the machine and said, "With it, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, I can produce food continuously. Minerals, meat, and plants can all be used as resources. It can save countless people from hunger."

"So, what's the price?"

Although Leone looks wild on the surface, she is actually very delicate in her heart. After living in the slums of the imperial capital for so long, she understands one thing: no matter what you do, you have to pay a price.

"The price? I don't know. I just hope that in the future, everyone can have enough food and everyone can have a house to live in. I haven't thought about anything else."

"Do you want to be an emperor?"

"Emperor?"

Tatsumi shook his head. "I think that kind of thing is boring. I still say that I just want everyone to have enough food and clothes. You are an assassin, right? Although many things require assassination, I think assassins have no future."

"Are you recruiting me?"

"I guess so. I need strong people to help me here."

"Thank you for your compliment~ If there is nothing else to do next, I don't mind bringing some people here for you..."

Leone, who lives in the slums, knows very well how important what Tatsumi showed is. With these things, many people will not starve to death or freeze to death in winter, and even have hope for survival.

Although she is an assassin of the Revolutionary Army, and the Revolutionary Army is overthrowing this empire, the Revolutionary Army does not support idle people. What's more, can these people really hold on until the arrival of the Revolutionary Army?

Just for her own conscience, she chose to bring some people who really couldn't survive to Tatsumi's side if there were no assassination missions during this period.

Tatsumi was also checking everyone's status. Those who were suitable for fighting would enter the virtual space for simulation according to their actual physical fitness through the "battle simulation" program in the barracks.

This is a common way for soldiers in the Red Alert world to train. Using this virtual reality combat simulation method, ordinary people can gain a certain amount of combat experience in one day. If they are talented enough, they can quickly become a qualified soldier.

As for the loyalty of these people? Tatsumi is not worried at all. He just spent one day with Yuri, but Yuri taught him how to control people's hearts and how to control them.

Tatsumi will not let them die, but he will not give them free food. To make everyone well-fed and clothed, this slogan is enough to motivate the people who were brought temporarily.

Especially after seeing Tatsumi's ability, they are also willing to join Tatsumi's team and fight for this dream.

Yes, the food from the base is not delicious, but it can fill you up and replenish energy. The clothes are not gorgeous, but they are comfortable and warm.

In the next few days, Tatsumi allocated his time perfectly. The first six hours were Terraria, and the next six hours were Red Alert. Dual thinking process would reduce the overall speed, but Terraria actually does not have much content. The total game time is about fifty hours to complete the game mode. Although the realism will take more time, if you are aiming to complete the game, you can finish it normally in more than a hundred hours if someone helps you make a guide.

In the past few days, Tatsumi has been immersed in the game Red Alert. Yuri has become his spiritual mentor, constantly answering his questions during his consultation.

"Oh! My dear Proselyte, do you think that a revolution formed by a team of downtrodden nobles and wealthy businessmen will promote a new system? Haha, I can't even do such a thing as joining forces with the aliens!"

"Believe me, when productivity is not improved, they will be the next emperor."

"If that world really exists, Proselyte, you should use the mental power I taught you to control this world. You actually forgot how to use mental power? Then I will teach you."

So far, most people have played the role of the commander Proselyte, but Tatsumi is the first person to be taught mental power by Yuri himself.

It's amazing, although the learning time is very short, and it is even more impossible to control the mind like Yuri. But when Tatsumi returned to his own world, Leone, who was eating for free, looked at Tatsumi incredulously.

"You..."

"Are you wondering why I've changed so much?"

"Wait? Can you read minds? Or do you have an Teigu?"

"Neither. All your thoughts are written on your face."

Tatsumi took out a stool and sat in front of Leone with a smile. "You helped me for several days, and I have my own soldiers. I really thank you. But I want to tell you that I may be hostile to the Revolutionary Army in the future. Will you still help me?"

At this moment, Leone was silent, and she was also emitting a murderous aura.

While learning from Yuri and constantly commanding and learning, Tatsumi found that the Revolutionary Army seemed to be a little off.

Just as Yuri said, an organization organized by downtrodden nobles and wealthy businessmen seemed to bring good days to the people. But they contacted foreign races to oppress the people of their own country.

On the surface, they were assassinating corrupt officials, but in fact, they were eliminating dissidents. Especially after the death of the minister, those officials who had lost their humanity disappeared in the country. When these normal officials began to maintain the country and prepare to bring the country back to its peak, the Revolutionary Army hyped up the empire's stupidity even more.

This made Tatsumi think more. Yuri told him that troops organized by feudal forces would only establish a feudal state. This empire was already decayed. He wanted to use the power of this mobile construction vehicle and the Internet cafe to build a country where no one would go hungry.

Build a complete country like any country in the game, where everyone can have enough food.

As for being the leader? He was not interested. Compared with being a leader, he wanted to be a guide or a sword bearer.

Chapter 155: Unscrupulous Boss Exploits Employees

Time goes back a few minutes. As the workday ended and everyone was about to leave, Akemi Homura approached Liu Yuan.

"Boss..."

Liu Yuan asked curiously, "What's wrong? I'd like to make it clear that I can't accept any confessions! Office romances and romances with customers are prohibited."

Hearing this, Kisara suddenly asked, "Hey? Then boss, how will you find a partner?"

"Is the game not fun, or the Coke not tasty? You actually have such a terrible idea of finding a partner?"

Feeling Liu Yuan's shocked expression, Kisara was stunned. "Wait? Boss, you didn't pull any strings, did you?"

Takashima Yuna, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Pull any strings? What do you mean?"

Liu Yuan pushed Takashima Yuna back. "It means using connections. Also, don't interrupt me when there is something important. Continue."

"Boss, I want to ask for your help. Can you help us eliminate the witch?"

Homura Akemi's mind was in chaos. Tomoe Mami was well hidden with the help of the gender change potion, but Kyubey discovered Tomoe Mami's anomaly and even asked Homura Akemi if that person was Tomoe Mami. At the same time, Kyubey found another Homura Akemi, and while everyone's attention was on Kaname Madoka, he signed a contract with Miki Sayaka. Kyubey also deployed numerous clones in Mitakihara, making the new magical girl Miki Sayaka overwhelmed.

What confused Homura Akemi even more was that despite telling Sayaka Miki the truth about magical girls, Sayaka still wished to become one. She couldn't understand Sayaka's wish or why she made it in this situation.

Homura Akemi was lost, not knowing what to do next.

"Eliminate the witches? Can't you do it with your current strength? Let me guess, is it because of Kyubey?"

Homura Akemi nodded with a complicated expression. Despite being human and a girl, even the other Homura Akemi, with adult thoughts, hadn't experienced intrigue and deception. Even with Kyubey revealing the truth, they couldn't outsmart him.

Kyubey's plan was simple: increase the number of witches in the city and prevent other magical girls from coming using his clones. He tempted Miki Sayaka to become a magical girl and kept fooling Madoka, saying more witches required more magical girls, and that she was talented enough to become one.

Despite Homura Akemi's watchful eye, as a magical girl, she needed rest and could be absent-minded, giving Kyubey opportunities to approach Madoka repeatedly. Gradually, Madoka wavered.

Sayaka Miki couldn't kill all the witches alone, and even if Mami Tomoe exposed herself, she couldn't handle the sheer number of witches. Kill one, and another would appear, making it impossible to keep up.

"Is that so? No problem, but the spoils from the witches we kill belong to me. Deal?"

"No problem!"

Homura Akemi had sold many grief seeds recently, and compared to money, she prioritized everyone's safety.

"Okay, I'll take your task. Kisara! Let's get to work!"

Kisara, who was holding an iced cola and snacks and preparing to turn on the computer, took off her glasses when she heard Liu Yuan's call. "What's up, boss!"

"I've taken a job. I may not be able to handle it alone. Come with me."

"Ah? No!"

"?

A question mark slowly appeared on Liu Yuan's head. He walked over to Kisara and grabbed the back of her clothes.

"You have to go even if you don't want to. Let's go!"

"Help! The boss is forcing me to work overtime. You're a demon."

Liu Yuan said with a smile, "Unfortunately, even if overtime can turn you into a demon, it won't be a powerful one, you already are a demon. If the money is enough, overtime isn't scary."

Kisara asked in a low voice, "So, boss, do I get paid for overtime?"

"Not a penny."

"Then why do you want me to work overtime?"

"Because I'm threatening you."

"..."

Kisara was completely silent. This was the first time in her life that she saw Liu Yuan directly express a threat like this.

"Okay, okay, boss is the best~"

Liu Yuan put Kisara down and left Takashima Yuna to watch the store.

In Mitakihara City, Liu Yuan didn't expect to be back so soon. But as soon as he returned, he felt the darkness from the witch.

"Oh my god, it's only been a few minutes, and there's another one? Kyubey just wants to force the target to surrender directly. Immortal species are so troublesome to deal with..."

Homura Akemi and her group asked, "Boss, do you need us to do anything?"

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Yuan took out a sword from his backpack. "Terraprisma Trial Version, take it and play with it. And this..."

He handed out several essential sets for summoners, all of which could increase the number of summons. For Terraprisma, every additional summon greatly increases the output.

Liu Yuan giving Homura Akemi this weapon was equivalent to an advance draw. After all, she killed the Empress of Light in a mine cart during the day under Tatsumi's strategy.

But unfortunately, the main boss on her side was stuck in the Flower of the Century, which needed to be found in the rainforest. Homura Akemi was a little embarrassed, unable to find it after two days of searching.

"Terraprisma?"

"You already know how to use it, so I won't teach you again. And we are going to hunt happily today."

Kisara transformed into a demon, changing her clothes into a pink dress, and took out her pink long sword.

"I'll state in advance that I don't want to hunt painfully, I just want to go back to play games."

"It's over, my men have been brainwashed by the game. I have to take you out for a good stroll. How long have you not been out?"

"Ah? Go out?"

Kisara was stunned. She hadn't been out since she started working at the Internet cafe. She in her own world might still be sealed if she returns, so it was better not to go back. Besides, Internet cafes were great: food, drinks, fun, and the chance to tease Liu Yuan when bored.

"See, you haven't been out for a long time, right? Come on! Have fun! You'll get a 10% commission for the grief seeds you hunt today."

Kisara pondered, "Then the question is, what's the use of these commissions?"

"You'll have money when I deduct from your salary, so hurry up and do it."

Despite her muttering, Kisara took out her weapon and prepared to fight. As Liu Yuan said, she had stayed inside for too long and had gained a lot of strength during this time. It was time to test how strong she had become.

Chapter 156: I Can Tell at a Glance That You Are Not Human

In the dark night, in the hospital where the witch was rampant, Kisara walked in front with her arms folded in fear.

"Boss, will there be ghosts here?"

"Are you scared?"

"Well..."

At this time, Liu Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Tell me a joke, demons are also afraid of ghosts?"

"Demons are at least entities! Ghosts are unscientific things that are super scary."

Liu Yuan said calmly, "In fact, it's not ghosts that are scary, but your firepower is insufficient."

"You seem to make sense when you say that."

While the two were chatting, they entered the witch's barrier together. A familiar like a mouse, an insect like a cockroach, Liu Yuan didn't know what this witch had experienced before, but he knew that the other party must have had a bad life.

"It's not good, but the familiar thing should at least play with the world of the living, right? Kisara! Go!"

"Don't? So disgusting!!!"

She refused with her mouth, but her body was ready for battle. Although she has played many games, Kisara's favorite fighting method is still simple sprinting and slashing.

She has returned to the most simple way without all skills, and this simple way can make her feel unusually happy.

Flying in the air, the magic power is concentrated on the weapon, and the pink weapon emits a dazzling light. This light is a warm light for friendly forces, but it is a fatal blow to the enemy.

This blow is earth-shattering.

The familiar on the side felt the threat from Kisara, it stopped and looked at Kisara dully.

The pink eyes flashed with excitement, just one knife, as if it contained the power of heaven and earth, even Liu Yuan looked a little dull.

In Liu Yuan's eyes, Kisara flew up, flew to the side of the familiar, and used "all her strength" to kill a small familiar.

"Huh! I'm so strong!"

Kisara wiped the sweat from her forehead, her state seemed to have experienced a war. After killing this familiar, she looked at Liu Yuan as if to ask for credit.

"Boss, am I strong?"

"As far as this strength is concerned, no one in our Internet cafe can match it."

Liu Yuan is not bragging. Even the newcomer Tatsumi, who has not yet gained any power and has never experienced a big battle in the game, can make more shocking attacks than Kisara.

"Hehe! Leave the rest to me!"

When Kisara was about to attack again, Liu Yuan pressed her shoulder: "Dear Miss Demon, you should watch me. Your fighting style can't kill people. You have to learn from me."

Liu Yuan took a step forward, took out the Seal in his hand, and his face showed a serious expression.

These familiars found the invaders and surrounded them. They regarded Liu Yuan and Kisara as food. They wanted to use them as nutrients to become stronger, and then retaliate! Revenge!

They didn't know what they wanted to retaliate for, they only knew that killing more people... must be right.

Feeling that these familiars were getting closer and closer, and were about to launch an attack. Kisara covered her mouth and muttered: "Oh no, the boss is in danger, can I take his place as the owner?"

Kisara had a funny expression on her face. She knew very well that he could deal with a witch of this level like playing, but she could not rule out some completely unrealistic fantasies.

At this time, Liu Yuan raised his Incantation: "You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You don't take me seriously at all. Get ready to catch the monster!!"

"Great and mighty dragon! Great Luo spell! The Buddha of the world! Prajna! Jinshan Dharma Temple! The forbidden place for monsters! Prajna Bama! Gan!"

Accompanied by Liu Yuan's loud and special words:

Incantation: Sword of Night and Flame. The flame turned into a weapon and was wielded by Liu Yuan, and a large number of familiars were burned to ashes.

Incantation: Tail of the Crucible. The familiars approaching were swept away and killed instantly by Liu Yuan with a skill like a dragon's tail.

Especially when he shouted the last nonsensical chant, he took out Marika's stone hammer and smashed it hard. Instantly, golden light enveloped the entire witch barrier. The witch hiding in the deepest part was not in any danger, but instantly turned into a seed of sorrow and was knocked out.

At this moment, Kisara took a breath of cold air.

Liu Yuan stood up and patted the weapon in his hand: "How is it?"

Kigara clapped her hands: "Boss, you are too good at pretending to be cool, but there is no one around except me. You are really a daffodil who doesn't bloom but pretends to be a fool!"

"It's better than pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and then becoming a pig, right?"

"Wait? Who do you say is the pig?"

"Yes~ whoever agrees is the one~"

"Damn it! Take my blade!"

Kigara's slow attack was easily avoided by Liu Yuan. He went behind Kisara and knocked her head lightly with his right fist: "No need to play, Kyubey has come out, the rest is up to you."

"Tsk, I will be knocked stupid by you sooner or later, I'll go to work."

Yes, the reason for delaying time before was to attract Kyubey.

This witch was just released by Kyubey. Logically speaking, Kyubey should not be far away. As long as there is a little trouble, it will appear on its own.

Just as Liu Yuan estimated, he appeared, and the remaining witches were no longer useful.

As Kisara left, a pink light suddenly burst out a few kilometers away. Kisara took action.

Although her progress in clearing various games was not as good as Liu Yuan, she was much better than other people in the Internet cafe.

You should know that when she encountered a stuck level in the game, Liu Yuan personally brought a guide, and those who were not easy to clear would escape together.

Fully exerted the player's attributes to the extreme.

"People from another world! Are you the helper that Akemi Homura found?

""Yes~ You are so smart."

"Please don't hinder my actions from the other world. Everything we do is for this universe. If I don't do this, the entropy in the universe will be in infinite expansion. And the power that these people burst out when they become witches is the most important power to save the world." Kyubey fully exerted his ability to tell lies to people and lies to ghosts.

It will not lie, but it will conceal things, and often the things concealed are fatal to those girls.

As for what Kyubey said about saving the world?

It is also true. According to Liu Yuan's calculation, this universe will perish if it passes for countless billions of years.

Kyubey's energy collection can continuously extend the time of extinction. Theoretically, if enough energy is collected, it is possible to extend this time to "infinity".

"I admit that what you said is true, but do you have a slightly less efficient but less cruel way to gain power for all magical girls?"

"Yes, but these do not meet our pursuit of efficiency."

"Your pursuit is exactly the same as that of the redstone player."

Chapter 157: Signing a Contract with Kyubey and Outsmarting Kyubey

Redstone players are players who obtain resources through redstone technology in the survival mode of Minecraft. However, this method of obtaining resources is not limited to redstone. Any player who realizes automation or semi-automation in MC and improves the efficiency of various resource production is considered a Redstone player.

Kyubey's attitude is very similar to that of redstone players. It cannot understand human emotions. Because of this, it chooses a mode of pursuing efficiency.

While one person and Kyubey chatted, the pink light shone again.

"You and your companions are very strong."

According to Kyubey's judgment, the man in front of him has the ability to kill all the witches in the world and himself, but he didn't do so. Instead, he chatted with him.

"Since you admit that you have a more friendly way, let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

Kyubey is very sensible. If possible, he would like to analyze the life and power of the other world for his own use. But unfortunately, he can't even break through the time barrier of this world, let alone the ability to cross the world.

"Let's make a bet. I won't provide them with any convenience. All power acquisition will also follow the principle of equivalent exchange in the shop. They will attack Walpurgisnacht, and before that, you can only use words to lure them into becoming magical girls. Let's bet on how many of them can survive, and I bet that they all survive. If you lose, I will not interfere with any of your actions in your world, and I will give you a special material for every person who doesn't survive. If you win, you need to give up this efficient behavior, protect the lives of all intelligent creatures, and you can't collect energy using them as props."

Kyubey was silent. It sounded like there were many loopholes in Liu Yuan's words that he could exploit, but he felt that these loopholes were deliberately left for him by Liu Yuan.

"This is an unfair contract."

Kyubey discovered the problem with this contract. All the conditions here are based on Liu Yuan's cognition. If he doesn't think this is possible, then he can't collect it. The Excitement Contract doesn't even have a penalty, but Kyubey understands that this kind of contract without penalty is the most terrifying. He is the weaker party, which proves that if he breaches the contract, the other party will do anything to him.

"No, this is fair. You can take a look at this. And I promise that when your world faces destruction due to entropy increase, I will help you solve it."

Liu Yuan took out a piece of redstone. The moment he saw the redstone, Kyubey's eyes widened. At this moment, all Kyubeys around the world and even the universe were down. After a full five seconds, Kyubey spoke.

"Contract established."

A white light shone from Kyubey's body. After this light flew into Liu Yuan's body, it spoke again: "It's hard to understand why an existence like you would help humans?"

"Because I am a human."

"What? Can humans grow to this point? It seems that there is something wrong with my calculation."

Kyubey's eyes flashed with light, and Liu Yuan's words intrigued him. However, this plan is not urgent, and it is difficult for him to imagine how he can lose this contract. Even if Akemi Homura obtains the Terra Prism, this weapon has an upper limit to attack. According to Kyubey's estimation, this weapon can easily fight against ordinary witches, but it is completely unable to fight against Walpurgisnacht.

And the contract does not say that Walpurgisnacht cannot be strengthened. Even if it is strengthened, it is not against the rules from any perspective. Moreover, it is worth taking risks for the redstone Liu Yuan brought out.

According to his calculation, the energy in a redstone is equivalent to all the power he has gained since arriving on Earth. If more than three can be obtained, it doesn't matter if he loses.

According to the contract between the two, one more redstone can be obtained for each death. And there is a loophole in this contract. It does not say that members cannot be added to their team before Walpurgisnacht arrives.

There are many operations that can be played with this contract. Even if you analyze its likes and dislikes from a human perspective, you can play a lot of operations based on these likes and dislikes.

And Liu Yuan's purpose is even more complicated.

This world is indeed heading towards destruction, but he has no right to stop it. But what's interesting is that among the people Akemi Homura knows, there are two who have the possibility of becoming gods. If they become gods, the expansion of this world will also be suppressed, but they may need a little bit of tempering to become gods.

If he signs this contract with Kyubey, it will definitely strengthen Walpurgisnacht. Walpurgisnacht will be too strong and will lead to the end of the group annihilation. He is very curious about what wish Kaname Madoka will make after knowing the true appearance of all the magical girls during the group annihilation. But no matter what the wish is, the final result must be that everyone survives. When the contract takes effect, he will use Kyubey's power to fulfill Kaname Madoka's wish and let her become the real god of this world.

However, his purpose is not only this. If this god is really born, then as a promoter, he will be qualified to communicate with her and reach a cooperation.

Cooperation with gods is exciting at the thought of it. How much sales can this bring to the Internet cafe? If this god is reliable and cares about its own calculations, he can bring at least 30 customers to himself. If he is more ruthless, 50? 100?

If there are so many customers, can his goal of daily income of 200,000 be achieved?

This is killing two birds with one stone. It solves the current problems and future problems of Akemi Homura's world, and even attracts a god who is about to appear. It's a bloody profit, isn't it?

As for losing? Just kidding. What Liu Yuan disliked most was gambling. Even if he was playing card drawing, he would never play without a big guarantee. He promised to exchange abilities with Homura Akemi on an equal basis.

But what Kyubey may not know is that in the four-dimensional Internet cafe, money can do whatever you want. Kyubey is smart and has wisdom for who knows how many years. But the information gap across the world is enough to make him overturn this time in the deal.

What's more, he is stronger than Kyubey. As long as he determines that Kyubey has breached the contract, Kyubey will become his possession.

It's a pity that the Kyubey race is too smart. They do have loopholes, but it is estimated that they will never violate this level of contract.

With the completion of the contract, Liu Yuan contacted the two, Homura Akemi and Mami Tomoe, through TT.

"I signed a contract with Kyubey. Before the end of Walpurgisnacht, it will not deliberately release witches to increase your pressure."

"Thank you, boss."

"You're welcome. Good luck next. It depends on you whether Kyubey will be the tool or I will be the tool in the future. By the way, where is Kisara? I just felt her power?"

Mami Tomoe: "Ms. Kisara... I seem to see her having afternoon tea after defeating the last witch."

Liu Yuan: "?"

At the same time, Kisara, who had completed the task, sat in a maid cafe and ordered a maid puff puff cake. But when she picked up the spoon and opened her mouth, she saw Liu Yuan with a smile on his face through the transparent glass.

Chapter 158: Beat up Sayaka Miki

Kisara cried, and the boss smiled.

Kisara said that she had finally found a dessert shop that smelled very good, spent her own money to order a little dessert, but she didn't eat a bite! Liu Yuan took it away.

Although Liu Yuan bought her a bigger and tastier one, she felt very uncomfortable that Liu Yuan took away her first bite.

"Refreshing!"

Liu Yuan patted his belly happily after returning to the Internet cafe, while Kisara walked in with a look of being extorted.

"Boss, Kisara, welcome back. Kisara?"

Takashima Yuuna saw that Kisara was in a bit of a bad state and asked with some concern, "Boss, is Kisara okay?"

"It's okay, she just hasn't recovered from having her dessert taken away. Come on, let's play the game without her."

Hearing this, Kisara revived immediately.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

So, the Internet cafe was filled with a lively atmosphere again. They were happily playing games after work, while Sayaka Miki was staring at the ground expressionlessly on a bench in Mitakihara Park.

She made a wish for the person she liked. As a result, the person she liked got together with her best friend, and she also learned a more despairing truth: the so-called magical girl is a girl who is becoming a witch...

"It doesn't matter. There is no room for me in this world..."

Sayaka's heart was filled with despair, and at this moment, Homura Akemi walked in front of Sayaka under the gaze of Tomoe Mami and Kaname Madoka.

"Is it you? I envy you, even if you are not a magical girl..."

Pah!

Sayaka was stunned by a big slap. Before she could react, Homura Akemi slapped Sayaka on the other side of her face again.

Pah!

The crisp sound even made Madoka in the dark cover her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Sayaka said. "I am a fool who likes to smirk every day, someone who likes someone but dares not confess. I can't come back."

Pop!

"You have to play, I have..."

Slap!

Homura Akemi didn't give her a chance to speak. This is the suggestion Liu Yuan gave before leaving. He said to find a good reason. Now her body could only be beaten by Homura Akemi, and she had no chance to fight back.

After ten slaps, Sayaka was stunned. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't because of the pain on her face.

"Don't say it? Then let me say it for you. Have you ever thought about your parents? Your mother was pregnant for ten months, went out to work for your family, didn't dare to ask for leave when she was sick, and didn't dare to eat more than one bite of the food she liked. And you abused yourself like this? Do you know how sad your parents will be if you really die?"

This time, Homura Akemi's strength was stronger. If she had just interrupted her before, this slap was really out of anger.

The burning feeling and the stimulation of the words made Sayaka regain some spirits. She was about to speak again.

"Have you ever thought about your grandparents? They never expected you to be rich, they just wanted you to grow up safely. They even didn't dare to come from the countryside to see you in order not to disturb your life. What about you?"

"Have you ever thought about your friends? Do you know that everyone is worried about you and everyone hopes that you can cheer up? Do you think you are a human? But I tell you clearly that we don't like your body. It's the soul named 'Sayaka Miki'. It's the righteous partner who wants to get rid of the witch even though he knows that the magical girl is dangerous."

"Just for a man? You're like this? What if Madoka died? What if I died? Would you feel so bad? In the end, men will only affect your brain and your decision-making. You don't need men, and men don't need you. But we need you!"

The last sentence made Sayaka's eyes completely regain their spirit, but as the slap fell, she fainted completely.

However, Homura Akemi's preaching did not stop, but Madoka and Tomoe Mami came out.

"Homura-chan, Sayaka seems to have fainted?"

"Huh?"

It was only then that Homura Akemi checked Sayaka's condition. Sure enough, Sayaka had completely fainted, and her face was swollen like a pig's head.

"Ah, this..."

This was embarrassing. Homura Akemi had planned to beat her until she cried, and then Madoka would come out to be the "good cop," while Mami Tomoe would give Sayaka hope in her darkest time.

But before the final action, she fainted.

It's okay to faint, anyway, she lives alone, so let's take her to Tomoe Mami's house for the time being.

After more than ten hours, Sayaka woke up slowly.

"I'm..."

Sayaka rubbed her face, and the pain on her face told her that Homura Akemi's previous beatings and words were not a dream.

"It smells so good..."

If you rely on magic power alone to maintain your body, it will soon collapse. Eating is the best way to reduce magic power consumption.

But Sayaka was wondering why she smelled such a good scent. And this room seemed to be Tomoe Mami's room?

"Are you awake?"

Mami's voice made Sayaka's eyes widen in surprise.

"Mami-senpai? Am I...dead?"

"Dead? No. I'm still alive, so you're alive too. Since you're awake, drink some soup to warm up."

A bowl of miso soup that couldn't be more ordinary was placed in front of Sayaka.

"Mami-senpai, why aren't you dead?"

Mami stopped what she was doing: "It was Homura who saved me... She used a special method to disguise me. Because Kyubey knew I was alive, he would definitely try every means to target me, but we didn't expect you to be so stupid..."

"I...I'm sorry."

Mami shook her head: "You're not sorry for anyone, you did a great job, you eliminated so many witches by yourself. But when you're not feeling well, you can also rely on your friends."

"Friends?"

At this moment, she thought of Madoka and the best friend who stole her boyfriend. Even her family members flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, until the last person in her mind was fixed: Homura Akemi.

"It seems that you have figured it out, but we can tell you some good news. The process of becoming a magical girl is not irreversible. As long as we defeat the final Witch Night and go to a special place, our bodies will return to normal."

"Huh? Really?"

"Homura wouldn't lie to us."

"Homura..."

At this moment, Sayaka's mind was full of Homura Akemi. She remembered the first time she met Homura Akemi. At that time, Homura Akemi fell from the sky, wearing toy-like armor and stood in front of her and Madoka.

The words "Stand behind me" made Sayaka want to become a warrior like Homura Akemi to defeat witches.

She wanted to recover from her childhood sweetheart's injuries and have a shy love affair with him. But these were only part of her life in her memory. Her life was more about going to and from school with Madoka and defeating witches behind Homura Akemi.

Yes! The wish she made was for her childhood sweetheart and the love that might come, but her determination to become a magical girl was her determination to protect humans like Homura Akemi and Mami Tomoe after Mami Tomoe was gone. For this determination, she was willing to come even if she was not human.

"Have you figured it out?"

The sudden appearance of Homura Akemi made Sayaka stunned for a moment, and then she hugged Homura Akemi: "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me, and..."

Homura Akemi was silent for a while and said to Sayaka: "You also feel that something is wrong with you, right? I can tell you responsibly that everything wrong with you after you became a magical girl was caused by Kyubey."

This is a big issue! This is also one of Liu Yuan's suggestions.

Students of this age will subconsciously choose to escape if they do something wrong. If you keep chasing them, it is likely to be extreme, but what if you help her find someone to take the blame?

For example, Kyubey, then Sayaka will feel that she is a fool and hate Kyubey at the same time.

As for the others? It doesn't matter, as long as there is someone they can hate together and take the blame.

Chapter 159: Strengthening the Magical Girl

As Sayaka recovered, Homura Akemi also formally introduced her other self to everyone.

"Is it really another person like you? Aren't you sisters?"

Sayaka looked at the two people who looked exactly the same but had completely different temperaments, and couldn't help complaining. She had wondered why Homura Akemi had given her a very handsome and confident feeling before, but she felt a cold feeling when she saw her later.

It turned out that there were two people!

Homura Akemi: "I'm an only child~"

After joking with each other for a while, Homura Akemi knocked on the whiteboard in the living room.

"Everyone! Now let me tell you something important."

Homura Akemi explained the Walpurgisnacht and the bet with Kyubey. When Homura Akemi said that going to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet could help the magical girl recover, Sayaka's expression was one of disbelief.

Madoka had a strange expression on her face. Mami Tomoe explained at this time: "What Homura said is true. With the help of Homura and her other friend these days, I have also become a 'Block man.'"

While talking, Mami Tomoe turned into a Block Man. At the same time, she took out her own soul gem and squeezed it hard.

Nothing happened to her.

"You see, after crushing the soul gem, you can only temporarily stop transforming. After a while, the soul gem will recover, and you can continue to transform."

"So, can I become a normal person?"

Homura Akemi shook her head: "Not completely, at least normal people won't turn into a Block."

"Puff!"

Madoka covered her mouth and smiled. She knew that Sayaka was particularly envious of Homura Akemi who could turn into a Block.

It's just that Sayaka became a magical girl too suddenly, and Homura Akemi didn't have time to tell her the truth after she knew it, so she became angry.

But fortunately, Sayaka has recovered now.

"Our next mission is to deal with Walpurgisnacht, but there are too few people who can fight..."

Madoka immediately said: "Actually, I can also sign a contract..."

"No!"

'Homura Akemi' directly rejected Madoka's idea. She had time traveled so many times, the purpose being to prevent Madoka from signing a contract and spending Walpurgisnacht event safely. Now that she has this opportunity, she must not watch Madoka become a magical girl.

Homura Akemi also said: "Yes, Madoka, you can go online with us. Even without magical girl power, you can fight with us."

"Really?"

"I'm not lying to you!"

Mami Tomoe also said at this time: "I know a junior who is wandering in the surrounding cities. I think we can bring her here."

Kyoko Sakura, she is a very reliable magical girl. She originally had the opportunity to form a team with Mami Tomoe, but she became a lone wolf.

But if she invites her to face the witch together, it should be okay, right?

Facing the approaching Walpurgisnacht, they not only have to use the power in the Internet cafe, but also have to bring all the magical girls in the surrounding cities. There is only one way.

So the five-person team is now divided into three teams. Homura Akemi acts alone, Mami Tomoe and Sayaka go to the next city to find the help of magical girls.

‘Homura Akemi’ and Madoka are on standby.

Time stop to protect Madoka can be said to be the most useful function. Even the Block man Homura is not sure she can save Madoka in time if something happens.

However, Mami Tomoe’s situation is not going well. She successfully found Sakura Kyoko, but the latter refused to join the team. Sayaka couldn’t stand it and fought with the two of them. As a result, Sayaka was ridiculed.

Originally, Mami Tomoe was ready to give up, but for some reason, Sakura Kyoko followed.

“Huh? I’m not helping you. I’m just waiting for the Walpurgisnacht to come. After you die, I will harvest the Walpurgisnacht alone. Then everyone will definitely be able to use it for a long time.”

Mami Tomoe and Sayaka don’t understand this demeanor, but Homura Akemi does.

What is this called? Tsundere! She even witnessed Elf act like this!

So, before the Internet cafe opened, the Magical Girls Five Colors Team gathered six people.

The Internet cafe opened, and under the leadership of Homura Akemi, all six people entered the Internet cafe.

Looking at the three newcomers brought by Homura Akemi, Liu Yuan showed a happy smile on his face.

After Takashima Yuuna quickly arranged for the six people to sit down, she came to Liu Yuan: "Boss, did you know something a long time ago?"

"It can only be understood! It can't be expressed in words."

Kigara on the side directly exposed the old secrets and said: "Listen to the boss's riddle. In fact, I was busy for them last night, but the effect of my efforts was really good! There are three more customers. According to the minimum daily consumption of 600, three people are 1,800. After four days of recovery, it will start to make a steady profit. The boss is really amazing."

Kigara has figured out the essence of this Internet cafe. Although it needs people, it seems that not everyone can be needed. The people who can be selected have more or less some strange talents.

However, this is not her concern. She is just the best network manager under the boss. How can she, a small network administrator, know other things?

Sayaka, Madoka, and Sakura Kyoko came to the Internet cafe for the first time.

"Isn't this an Internet cafe? Can you improve your strength here?"

Sakura Kyoko's tone was disdainful. If surfing the Internet can improve your strength, then wouldn't the people in the many game halls and Internet cafes she has been to be peerless masters?

Hearing her complaints, Homura Akemi said slowly: "You can try it. Believe me, the things here will change you. But I already have a complete set of procedures here."

These days, while Homura Akemi is strategizing Terraria, she is also studying how to bring in newcomers. Minecraft must be played, because this body change can make the soul gem not a fatal weakness.

Elden Ring must be played, Spirit Ash of the Mimic Tears must be obtained, and Spectral Steed must also be obtained. Although the running speed of the magical girl state exceeds that of the horse, only those who have used Torrent know how useful this horse is.

Each game must allocate time and quickly obtain props. Only in this way can the changes be completed and the rumored Walpurgisnacht be victorious.

According to ‘Homura Akemi’, the price of every victory over Walpurgisnacht is close to annihilation.

With external intervention this time, Walpurgisnacht may become more powerful, but Kyubey has no idea how terrible the four-dimensional space Internet cafe can strengthen the magical girl within a week.

Yes, Liu Yuan promised not to intervene actively, and everything is in line with the principle of equivalent exchange, and he will not take the initiative.

But in the Internet cafe, equivalent exchange is one hand for money and one hand for goods.

Adding the novice benefits of Resident Evil and Elden Ring, the combat power of the magical girl will definitely double in a week.

What's more, Liu Yuan also intends to exert his subjective initiative to help them.

"Homura, I have a new mod here. Do you want to try it?"

In addition to construction and exploration, the greatest fun of the game MC is mods. Various powerful mods can make you in the MC world become extremely powerful.

Like Endless Greed and Titan. They are all bugs among bugs.

But unfortunately, these modules have high restrictions, and Liu Yuan cannot add them casually, but he can still help install mods such as the Swords and more weapons and more enchantments.

Of course, these mods alone are not enough, after all, these weapons need a training period.

However, what if you add lucky blocks and put some powerful weapons into the lucky blocks?

If you are a simple player, these may make the game more grind-intensive. But don't forget, there is also Yoshida Saki, a redstone player, who has no interest in those fighting and killing games.

During this period, she has been playing Minecraft and researching better redstone contraptions. These mods plus the machines of the redstons boss.

The so-called grind is instantly not grind-intensive anymore.

Need gold?

Zombie Pigman Tower, please.

Need redstone? Witch Farm, Guardian Farm, please.

Need obsidian? Come! Obsidian Grinder, a few days of explosions will guaranteed to meet all your needs.

This is not him helping to cheat, this is a game feature.

Besides, you, Kyubey, have bad intentions, don't you?

Liu Yuan knew that Kyubey was using his own way to quickly strengthen the power of Walpurgisnacht.

In this matter, 'Homura Akemi' faced the strongest Walpurgisnacht in all reincarnations, and also the strongest witch in the history of the world. In order to win this contract, Kyubey also showed a little bit of his housekeeping skills.

Chapter 160: Invincible Walpurgisnacht, Madoka Becomes a God

Has Walpurgisnacht arrived? This is not the first time Homura Akemi has faced Walpurgisnacht, but compared to the previous ones, this Walpurgisnacht is much stronger.

The upside-down witch, the familiar like a circus. Walpurgisnacht is a special witch used to reclaim powerful magical girls. Even if it defeats the general magical girl team, it will still be costly.

After several days of training, everyone is confident they can defeat Walpurgisnacht.

And Madoka has her own ideas.

Homura Akemi does not want Madoka to become a magical girl, but what if Madoka becomes a god?

Liu Yuan told Homura Akemi about this but did not tell the Homura Akemi who had time travel countless times. He also communicated with Madoka alone. After learning this, Madoka agreed to Liu Yuan's plan.

However, the premise for the implementation of this plan is that they must tie with Walpurgisnacht.

With the ringing of the Spirit-calling bell, eight magical girls appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

Homura Akemi, meanwhile, was not in a hurry to use the Soul Summoning Bell because she was stacking buffs.

She drank various buff potions in the Terraria world, summoned the Terraprisma, and replaced her alloy suit with a set of fiery red armor. She wore the Sun Armor and took out the highest-level weapon in the original Terraria, the Zenith Sword, in her right hand.

With Tatsumi's help, she had successfully cleared Terraria and obtained this weapon.

All ready, she took out the Summoning Bell with her left hand and shook it. When another Homura Akemi appeared, she looked at her and nodded.

The battle was about to start!

Quppy and Liu Yuan stood in the distance to witness the result of the contract.

Mami Tomoe's ribbon, Magical Girl Homura Akemi's time stop, Sayaka's saber, and Sakura Anzi's chain gun—the 4+4 magic lineup almost stopped Walpurgisnacht instantly.

However...

"This Walpurgisnacht is the strongest Walpurgisnacht. Even if the number of magical girls increased tenfold, they couldn't defeat it. You've lost the contract this time."

"Lose? Are you sure?"

Liu Yuan said indifferently, "Just wait and see. We won't know who will win until the end."

In fact, Walpurgisnacht burst out with huge magic power, and the shock wave of magic power knocked the magical girls away. However, at this moment, Homura Akemi's Zenith Sword arrived. Every time she swung it, several weapons would cut at Walpurgisnacht.

With this weapon, the Moon in Terraria can be killed instantly. Even in the Disaster Module, the Zenith Sword is one of the most powerful weapons. Other magical girls also took out swords while using their own magic.

The tyranny of the sword swipes in Minecraft cannot be resisted even by the Ender Dragon or the Wither. All the familiars died instantly, but because Walpurgisnacht was too big and flew too fast, the prepared sword could only play a restraining role.

'Homura Akemi' even activated the time stop and directed all the weapons obtained from the lucky block in Minecraft at Walpurgisnacht. But unfortunately, her firearms couldn't even repel it.

Homura Akemi's Zenith Sword, combined with the Terra Prism that turned into sword light, caused huge damage to Walpurgisnacht. However, Walpurgisnacht was strengthened by Kyubey, and the fear and despair in the hearts of humans became its nourishment.

Millions of people in this city were hiding in the school gymnasium for refuge, feeling the emergence of extreme natural disasters, and their fears all transformed into the power of Walpurgisnacht.

Darkness shrouded the city, and the deepest fear of life in the darkness continued to heal the wounds of Walpurgisnacht.

But under the restraint of Homura Akemi, Walpurgisnacht could not move forward, but Homura Akemi could not destroy Walpurgisnacht either. The situation was deadlocked. Kyubey saw the possibility of winning and sent a clone to jump to Madoka and Homura Akemi.

"You can't defeat this witch. Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl! You already have a way to control the darkening of the soul gem, so you don't have to worry about becoming a witch, right?"

"Indeed..."

Madoka was moved by this sentence. She took a deep breath and decided to make a wish.

"Make a wish. You are carrying a huge amount of potential. I can fulfill any wish."

At this moment, Madoka spoke, "My wish is that I will protect this world and the lives in this world. I will turn magical girls back to ordinary people before they die and erase their memories related to being magical girls, so that witches will no longer harm lives. I will prevent the destruction of the world until I perish."

"What? You actually made this wish. Do you want to become a god?"

Kyubey's wish is omnipotent, but the premise of this omnipotence is that the wisher has enough talent or potential. Secondly, this wish cannot have a paradox. The wisher must clearly know the meaning of their wish.

If you wish to become a god directly, then Kyubey will ask if you wish to become the god you know. In the eyes of normal people, gods are actually just people with stronger power.

And the wish made by Madoka directly surpassed and broke Kyubey's rules, and even broke through the cause and effect of the world. The cause and effect carried by Madoka is enough to make her a true god.

"When you become a god, you will also face witches more powerful than you, Kaname Madoka. Your wish is doomed to fail."

"Oh?"

Liu Yuan appeared next to Kyubey and Kaname Madoka, who had transformed into a 'god'.

"Do you think you are very powerful?"

With these words, Kaname Madoka, or Ultimate Madoka, took out the spirit-calling bell. As the bell rang, another Ultimate Madoka appeared.

"Unfortunately, your power is very strong, but this power cannot reach the level of a god. She will eventually be destroyed by the witch she formed, and her wish will become a paradox and cannot be realized."

"If Madoka destroys her own 'witch,' it proves that she denies herself, and all her existence will disappear. Then let another her destroy herself? What's more, Walpurgisnacht has been destroyed, right? Everyone survives, so you will not use your power to turn magical girls into witches, right?"

"Oops!"

At this moment, Kyubey realized that he had been outsmarted.

The birth of witches was after the destruction of Walpurgisnacht, which means that when Kaname Madoka becomes a god, the witches born in conjunction with it will no longer exist because of this contract.

"But even so, her traces will disappear here. In the concept of human beings, the complete disappearance of a person's existence is equivalent to death. This contract is not your victory."

Liu Yuan: "You are right, but who said that gods can't become humans? If gods can't slack off when they want to, what kind of gods are they?"

At the same time, Liu Yuan contacted his direct superior, the God of Games. As Kaname Madoka became the Law of Cycle and was completely wiped out, the soul-calling bell rang again.

The Mimic Tear appeared, and it gradually turned into Kaname Madoka's form, with the power of the Law of Cycle appearing on her body.

"When the Law of Cycle wants to experience human emotions, she will create her own clone and execute the power of God. The identity of human beings will be recorded in all worlds, and the similar but different experiences in each world will become proof that the 'god' has humanity."

"This is a paradox!"

It's just like which came first, the egg or the chicken. If Kaname Madoka came first and then the Law of Cycle, then what Liu Yuan said is not true at all. If there is the Law of Cycle now, and then Kaname Madoka, then there is no need to make a wish with Kyubey.

"Yes, it's a paradox, then, what if the whole world is restarted?

"What? She can't restart the world. Restarting the timeline will consume all her power."

"She can't but Elder Brother can. Now there is more than one Law of Cycle!"

Only then did Kyubey realize how powerful the ability of the Mimic Tear was. He had always thought that there was an upper limit to the ability to Mimic abilities, but she didn't expect that it could even copy the ability of gods.

Liu Yuan had no explanation for this. In fact, after the contract took effect, his immediate superior, the God of Games, used Kyubey's power to strengthen the Mimic Tear at the same time.

The Mimic Tear is not afraid of death and can complete all the goals of the summoner. The summoner wants to become a god? This is the first time the Mimic Tear has encountered such a request. Although it has been a Mimic Tear of Kaname Madoka for a short time, it will become a famous existence in the Mimic Tear world.

"Thank you!"

At this moment, the replica Law of Cycle burst out all its power and completely restarted the world.

With the restart of the world, Liu Yuan was kicked out of this world. But at the moment he was kicked out of the world, he heard the praise from his real immediate superior.

"Well done."

This is not just encouragement but also represents the recognition of his boss's ability to work. Although he borrowed a lot of power from his boss, he successfully created a god, a god who has a good relationship with the Internet cafe and comes to the Internet every day.

What? How did Liu Yuan know?

When the cafe opened the next day, the two Akemi Homuras brought Ultimate Madoka and three other magical girls into the Internet cafe happily, and Madoka waved her hand, wow, all customers in the magical girl world don't have to pay anymore.

Because Madoka put down a rose bow here, a weapon used by gods in the true sense, a symbol of the rules of Madoka's world. This thing is truly priceless. Madoka or Ultimate Madoka gave special permission to her own Internet cafe members.

Chapter 161: Branch Manager Recruits Network Manager, Chelsea Falls into the Clutches of the Devil

The 4-D Space Internet Cafe, with the passage of time, has gradually entered the right track.

Young people have a fast learning ability. It took Takashima Yuuna more than two months to learn how to attract customers and how to use the advantages of the store to keep the customers who strayed in.

She was even taught how to get customers to attract more customers to play.

"Yuuna, good news, you have passed."

This qualification made Takashima Yuuna excited, but then she showed a lonely expression.

"Do you miss home?"

Takashima Yuuna nodded and shook her head.

Her family had all died, and there were no friends left. Her world would no longer be invaded. Although the power of the golden tree was not kind, it was her greatest effort to keep the remaining people alive. What she could do now was to work hard and return to her world one day.

"Don't worry, I will let you go back. Your world is still changing. When it stabilizes, I will personally send you back to see it."

Takashima Yuuna didn't say anything, but she knew that her boss was very reliable. At least he did everything he promised.

"Congratulations, you have become a qualified store manager. You can now consider getting a network administrator to assist you in your work."

"Can I do that?"

"Of course, you will be very tired without a network administrator."

"How do I find a network administrator?"

Liu Yuan gave an effective suggestion: "I can recruit one in each world according to your preferences, or you can be more diligent and run around in each world to see if you can find someone you like."

Kisara, who was standing by, heard this and asked curiously, "Boss, did you deliberately look for someone like me~"

Liu Yuan looked at Kisara with a squint: "Yes, and I noted that it can't be too big; too big is easy to make mistakes."

"?"

Kisara lowered her head and looked at herself, then straightened her chest: "Who are you talking about?"

"I didn't say who is small, I just said that it is easy to make mistakes if it is too big."

Hearing the two people's quarrel, Takashima Yuuna smiled, but then thought of Liu Yuan and Kisara leaving.

Would there be less fun on her side?

"By the way, Kisara and I will come to inspect your work from time to time, but don't think that we can rest easy when we go back~"

"Hehe! My work is completely fine."

"I believe it."

Takashima Yuuna is the kind of girl who is full of energy in daily life. Her coming here will definitely bring joy to this store.

"Then boss, how can I find a network administrator?"

"Throw the dice. But a front-row reminder: the recruitment of network administrators should be in line with the principle of voluntariness as much as possible. If you find one yourself, you may not succeed."

Liu Yuan used the system to recruit, but this time he didn't let people come in for an interview, but asked Takashima Yuuna to go in world to world to personally recruit people.

After all, it was the network administrator recruited for Takashima Yuuna, and all actions needed to be carried out by her alone.

After a series of screenings, the system found the right candidate.

"I have found the right candidate, and now I will teleport you there. This is Tatsumi's world~"

"Okay!"

Takashima Yuuna traveled through time, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that she had come to a forest.

"Is there an employee suitable for me here?"

Takashima Yuuna had an idea. She wanted a friend who could chat with her and complain to each other every day, just like Kisara.

In the forest, a girl with long wine-red hair was panting and dodging.

"Damn, why is this happening..."

With the death of a large number of officials in the imperial capital, the entire imperial capital was in chaos. Esdeath received an order to return to the imperial capital to protect the emperor. And Chelsea was ordered by the top leaders to assassinate Esdeath.

She is the most concealed assassin in the assassination team, but also the most useless assassin. She was originally required to deal with the members of the Jaeger that Esdeath had recently established, and now, she has just completed the assassination.

The needle pierced Kurome's neck. She had fallen to the ground, and her mission had been completed. But when she was about to disguise herself as Kurome to assassinate other members, Kurome stood up.

"Hehe, kill you, kill you, kill you! You actually disguised yourself as Will to approach me! Kill you!!!"

After discovering that Will and Kurome had a close relationship, Chelsea took advantage of the time when Will helped Kurome go back to the base to get dessert and disguised herself as Will to assassinate her.

But what she didn't expect was that Kurome had undergone body modification, and it would be difficult for her to die unless her head was chopped off or her heart was destroyed.

Chelsea felt this had horribly gone wrong. She wanted to use the Teigu Gaia Foundation, but Kurome's Blade chopped down.

"Ding~"

The appearance of Takashima Yuuna blocked Kurome's attack. She looked left and right, and asked between the two: "I am the manager of the 4-D Space Internet Cafe. I am recruiting network administrators. Who of you is interested in being my network administrator?"

Before she finished her words, Kurome began to attack Takashima Yuuna frantically. Takashima Yuuna looked at Kurome in confusion: "Why attack me? I am not an enemy! And... your body is very bad."

"Kill you!!!"

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but when she was about to take the opportunity to escape, Takashima Yuuna looked at her: "Big sister, do you want to be my network administrator? If you become my network administrator, I will save you."

Takashima Yuuna observed Chelsea. Her ability is very interesting. It is very suitable to be a network administrator. Changing appearance every day can give customers a fresh experience.

Chelsea broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't know how the red-haired girl in front of her appeared, and she didn't know what the golden light in her hand was. But she knew that this was a chance to survive. And the other party didn't look like a bad person.

Even if it was a bad person, so what? She can just agree temporarily, and take the opportunity to escape when she had the chance.

"Okay!"

"You swear."

"I swear, I am willing to be your network administrator, little sister."

Swear? If swearing is useful, there wouldn't be so many evil people in this world. However, what she didn't expect was that at the moment she agreed, she suddenly heard a strange voice in her consciousness.

"The contract is established. Hello, congratulations on becoming the network administrator of the No. 1 branch of the 4-D Space Internet Cafe."

"????"

Chelsea had a big question mark on her head, and she was completely stunned. She never thought that the oath she made would come true? What kind of Teigu is this? What is this?

"I know you have a lot of doubts, but don't worry, being a network administrator is very well paid. Although you work twelve hours a day, the time after work is completely yours. And you, you hurt her, right?"

In Takashima Yuuna's sight, there was a faint HP bar on Kurome's body, but she had a strong smell of blood and a strange smell of medicine.

"Not an enemy, Miss Kurome, right? I apologize for my employee hurting you. As compensation, I will heal your body and hope that you can live a normal life for the rest of your life."

"Bullshit!"

However, Kurome fainted after saying this. Takashima Yuuna put away her power and walked to Kurome's side. She was checking Kurome's physical condition.

"No medicine residue, organ failure, need to completely remove the debuff in the body and activate the power of the Rune."

To be on the safe side, Takashima Yuuna stood up and used an Incantation . After clearing the debuff once through the Incantation, she took out a bucket of milk and poured it down for her. Finally, she took out the golden apple and forced it into her body and began to check her body.

"All body functions have been restored~"

However, when she looked back, Chelsea had already run away.

Seriously, Takashima Yuuna was really satisfied with this woman named Chelsea. Liu Yuan once complained about why Kisara couldn't have a different image every day. But the person she found could do it.

"Forget it, she admitted it herself. She is already a network administrator."

However, when she was about to leave, Will, who was holding snacks, saw Takashima Yuuna and Kurome who fell to the ground and instantly became angry.

"Let her go."

"Calm down."

Takashima Yuuna stretched out her hand, and the golden energy enveloped Will.

"Now, I'm going to say, listen. My employee just hurt her accidentally. I treated her. In order to make up for the employee's negligence, I cured all her diseases. Don't let her contact those drugs anymore. Also, she has killed many people. She is wandering between the indentity of an inhuman monster and humanity. If you want her to live like a normal person, tell her leader that she is dead and was killed by me."

She heard Tatsumi say that there are many dark things in his world, but after seeing it in person, she only felt distressed.

The man infront of her, named Will, is a good person, and he should have a good relationship with Kurome, and there is not much she can do.

She came here to find a network administrator, not to save the world.

Chapter 162: Plan to Buy MOBA Games

The surrounding land was burned by the sacred power. As for how Will concealed it, how to conceal it, and whether he would conceal it, it had nothing to do with Takashima Yuuna. Her goal was to find a suitable network administrator to help.

Now that she had found one, she could return.

As for the other party's escape? What can a person who has signed a contract by using the Power of the Greater Will use to escape?

Takashima Yuuna returned. Seeing her return, Liu Yuan asked with concern, "How is it? Have you found a suitable candidate?"

"I found one, and she agreed happily."

Takashima Yuuna's tone was a little happy. She didn't expect that she would find a suitable employee so smoothly.

"Since you have found her, bring her here. Even if she wants to stay at home after work, she must understand the content of the job before starting."

At the same time, in the forest, Chelsea, who had escaped, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's terrible. Who is that girl? What is that voice in my consciousness?"

She was a little nervous. She had a premonition that she seemed to have fallen into a trap.

Just when she thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly found that the surrounding environment had changed. The girl from earlier appeared in front of her, along with a man and a woman looking at her.

"Hello, hello!"

Chelsea had an awkward smile on her face. She couldn't understand what had happened, but she knew it must be the voice in her mind that brought her here.

Takashima Yuuna greeted her, "Hello, welcome to becoming the 4-D space network administrator. The boss said that today you will familiarize yourself with the business. After you are familiar with it, you can use your time as you wish after work each day."

"Eh? Can I refuse now?"

"Yes!"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I looked at the specific situation. If Takashima Yuuna hadn't stopped you just now, your only end would have been death. We can let you return and leave here, but your fate will not change."

"What?"

Chelsea was silent, and Kisara patted her shoulder, "We don't force you; we just let you return to the fate you deserve."

If you are not a customer or staff of this store, then Liu Yuan will never give any preferential treatment.

Yes, this is a threat. Unfortunately, including Kisara and Jibril, they all fell for it. This was not an equal exchange, but for Kisara and even the newcomer Chelsea, it was a real chance to change their fate.

"Do I have a choice?"

Chelsea smiled bitterly. She knew she couldn't escape. As for assassination? She didn't think she could cause effective damage to Takashima Yuuna, and Kisara could easily block a few knives. She was just an assassin, and an assassin could sneak attack, but when her identity was unknown, she was useless, still, being dragged here inexplicably proved one thing: if she really wanted to assassinate her, she would be the one to die.

"You do have a reason. The purpose of our store is not to force."

Kisara added, "So we pick those who have no choice. Ah, it hurts!"

Liu Yuan's hand chop hit Kisara's head accurately, "I don't let you lie, but I don't let you tell the truth! How can I fool people in the future? Oh no! Recruit people?"

Kisara couldn't help but complain, "Be reasonable! Do I have a choice?"

"You can have a choice."

"Yes! Going back to the seal and staying here honestly, there is indeed a choice. But I would rather be exploited by you every day than go back to that place!"

"Are you sure it's exploitation? Who sleeps during the day? Plays games at night, and I have to help someone get iced cola when I pass by?"

At this time, Takashima Yuuna couldn't help but add, "The boss will patrol around during the day to see if everyone needs help. Kisara-san, you are mostly... sleeping."

At this moment, Kisara was embarrassed. She pulled Takashima Yuuna over, "Yuuna! Aren't we on the same side?"

Takashima Yuuna shook her head, "The boss and I are on the same side."

At this moment, the room was completely silent.

Kisara lowered her head, depressed and said nothing. Liu Yuan looked at Takashima Yuuna, "You lead your newcomer. I've taught you enough. You can do the rest yourself."

"That..."

Takashima Yuuna hesitated and said, "Boss, can you watch me train the newcomers these days? I'm a little unsure."

"Unsure? That's normal. Then I'll be in charge these days, and you can teach the newcomers. It's a good time to say goodbye to the guests. By the way, if the guests have any cross-world needs, I will take you with me the next few times. This branch will be your responsibility at that time, but don't worry, we will play together at night. Now we have just gathered five people, and we can finally do Internet cafe for five consecutive games."

Kisara asked curiously, "Internet cafe five consecutive games? What is that?"

Takashima Yuuna also asked curiously. Liu Yuan took out a can of Coke from somewhere, opened it, took a big sip, and recalled, "That was my lost youth. I never won the five-game winning streak in the Internet cafe. Let me find it. Can I throw this game up?"

Liu Yuan searched the game mall for MOBA games. MOBA, the full name of which is multiplayer online battle arena games. Well-known ones include League of Legends, DOTA, and King of Glory. Compared with RTS games, this type of game does not require controlling more soldiers to fight, but only needs to concentrate on controlling one character.

"Let me take a look. Eh? It's a bit interesting?"

The games provided by the system are similar to the original MOBA games, but buying a game is just a simple purchase of a venue with a hero template, which is just a difference in the hero pool for players.

For example, if he only buys League of Legends, when playing this game, the player can choose heroes in the league to fight or substitute his own data to fight.

The system has a rough balance system, which will balance the values according to the original strength of the user.

When buying other games, other game characters can also be added to the arena after other games.

The arena will be equipped with supporting equipment when you buy the game, and you can open other modes later. It costs 100,000 yuan to expand one, and there is no upper limit. In addition to the signature 5v5 and 3v3, there are 1v1, 7v7, 10v10, etc. Liu Yuan estimated. According to the current average daily income of 100,000+ in Internet cafes, if you only buy battle maps, you will need three months of turnover.

"Wow, it's really a lot! But it's okay, 640,000 to buy the game, and add 200,000 to expand two battle platforms, and finally expand some computers. It's so nice."

Liu Yuan bought League of Legends without thinking. First, there are many games here, and second, the five consecutive games in the Internet cafe back then were playing this game, and the feelings are in it. Third, the heroes here are slightly easier to get into, and players with insufficient strength can directly use the heroes provided by the system without need of complex thoughts.

However, after buying the game, Liu Yuan suddenly realized a very serious problem.

They are a group of workers who only play games after work. After work, the players go home... Who do you play with? With the computer?

Chapter 163: Internet Cafe Five Consecutive Punishments

"I... made an impulse purchase."

After saying the last sentence, Liu Yuan lay directly on the table, staring at the ceiling blankly as if he had lost his soul. He bought the game, selected the 5v5 map and the 1v1 map, and then he found a problem. This game is a team game. 1v1 is fine, but whether 5v5 players can get together to fight is another matter.

Where I am I supposed to get a set of 5 people to bully after work?

"Boss! Boss! My boss!"

Kuga made a 'painful' sound as she wiped away her fake tears, "The boss fell down, let's divide the boss's property."

"Hehe, dear Miss Demon."

"Oh no, the boss is back!"

Accompanied by a flurry of chaos, Kisara lay on the table and stared at the ceiling blankly, while Liu Yuan clapped his hands and casually took out a bottle of iced cola.

"Newcomer, take it."

Chelsea took the iced cola expressionlessly. She was a little numb now. What happened in the Internet cafe was no different from daily life, but she always had a bad premonition.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"You're welcome. Come on! Turn on the machine. I got a new game. Let me go to the main store to get Jibril."

As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkeys will be king!

Jibril is the king. When Liu Yuan's gone to see the branch store, Jibril became a little unscrupulous.

She had a big bucket of iced cola next to her computer, potato chips on the left and jelly on the right, fried chicken and hamburgers in the middle, and she was eating while watching the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy."

"Sure enough, it's great when the boss is not around!"

"Yes! But your good days are over."

"Days, days, over..."

Hearing Liu Yuan's voice, Jibril turned her head and froze.

"Okay, your food and drink will be deducted from your salary anyway. Just take these and leave."

"What for?"

"Let's go to the branch store, I bought a new game. Let's play together!"

Carrying a girl to rank up was the game process that Liu Yuan wanted to experience the most back then.

But he had a bad feeling.

Because of the memory filter, Liu Yuan forgot his embarrassing history. He was once the ‘strongest bronze player’ and never left the bronze rank.

Carry a girl? Sorry, no, it was always the girl who will carry him.

But it’s not a big problem. This kind of game is played by one person to win. If you sit in the Internet cafe for five consecutive games, it’s like being poisoned. Don’t think about winning or losing in this life.

After arriving at the branch and being arranged to sit by Liu Yuan, the Internet cafe’s five consecutive games began.

Although there are no players to abuse, you can choose a human-computer!

“Please choose your opponent!”

As the host, Liu Yuan thought seriously and compared carefully. The strength of his side is uneven, so he chose a simple computer to hone his hands.

He silently chose the simple one, but just before he chose, Kisara and Jibril pressed his shoulders one by one.

“Boss, can you do it?”

“Play a game and choose a medium-level human-computer?”

Kisara and Jibril hinted wildly, and even Takashima Yuuna had a tense face, as if she had heard nothing and saw nothing, and was studying the game-related content.

At this moment, Takashima Yuuna recalled the scene when she first played Red Alert. She still remembered that Liu Yuan told her that it was not difficult to play with the AI with a silly name, and the last difficulty was the most difficult.

Then she believed Liu Yuan and Kisara's lies and chose a nice name, Moon 3. As a result, she was defeated all night. When there was no hope of a comeback in the last round, she turned off the machine and prepared to open for business.

Then the most annoying thing happened.

Moon 3 launched a 1v1 battle and mocked her in the end.

Thinking about that painful day, her heart beat faster. Liu Yuan and Kisara had never lied to anyone. It was true that the last difficulty was the most difficult, but having a name was the ceiling for ordinary people to challenge.

However, there are too many optional opponents in League of Legends. In order to add to the fun, Liu Yuan asked directly: "What role do you play?"

When asking this question, Liu Yuan also explained the meaning of the roles. Jungler is to develop the economy in the jungle while catching people in the three lanes to help teammates win more.

The bottom lane recommends shooters, but not necessarily shooters. The top lane is pressure-resistant, but it must be pressure-resistant. Kisara and Jibril were ready to completely substitute their data for use, while Takashima Yuuna used the character provided by the system.

Liu Yuan? No need to think about it, he just picked Malphite.

Finally, after a conversation, Kisara went to the top lane to resist pressure because her body is a demon, and she can recover HP by plundering the enemy's HP in battle. The jungler is Liu Yuan, Malphite is ready. Since he chose Malphite, he has every intention of winning.

The ADC position is Jibril. She uses her own data and turned herself back to her adult state in the game. Although she can still use the sickle to close the gap when the ADC is close to her face, assisting Takashima Yuuna, she also chose Soraka, the child of the stars, under Liu Yuan's suggestion.

As for Chelsea, Liu Yuan kindly recommended a simple, powerful, and easy-to-use assassin to her after knowing that she is an assassin.

"Yes! This is it, the Lord of Shadows is invincible, with simple and complex skills, suitable for novices."

"Really?"

When Chelsea saw the Zed, she felt a heartbeat. The hero-like background setting, the skills that come and go without a trace, the drifting posture, and the video introduction of the his ultimate made her sure that this was the character she chose.

"You all have chosen? I'm going to choose the enemy AI."

If you choose a named human-computer to fight, Liu Yuan will not be able to allocate positions.

After starting the game, the system will allocate game positions according to the different attributes of the computer.

And because Liu Yuan did not open the Ranked, it means that the opponent will theoretically have the same hero as himself. The system will automatically set this type of computer to a lineup with perfect cooperation and will never act.

The choice of human-computer opponents is 'Uzi, The Shy, Mata, Ning, and Faker.'

"Everyone, come on!"

Kisara took a deep breath, "I will do my best, but it is difficult for anyone to defeat me if I put in all my own data."

Jibril laughed loudly, "It seems that you have forgotten my strength. Even if my strength is weak, it is my strength. I will let them understand the horror of the sky strike."

Liu Yuan: "It's okay, you can play as you like, I'm ready."

So, the game started. Entering the game, Liu Yuan was sure that they would not only lose this time but also lose miserably.

Top lane Aatrox, Mid lane Zed, Bottom lane Vayne and Thresh, Jungle Xin Zhao.

Liu Yuan turned his head and looked at Chelsea, "How is your combat experience? I mean the kind of experience of head-on 1v1."

"I..."

"I understand!"

Liu Yuan waved his hand, "Come on you can do it!"

"Hey?"

What did Chelsea see? Pity? Why? They were two identical characters, but Liu Yuan looked at her with pity in his eyes. This made Chelsea a little indignant.

When entering the game, she figured out all the skills of the character she played with the help of the system, and the opponent was still a computer.

According to Takashima Yuuna, the so-called computer is a virtual simulated opponent. How can a living person lose to a virtual opponent who was an imitation of a real person?

Chapter 164: Newcomer Zed vs. Faker Zed

"Why is this happening..."

Kisara sat on a chair, her eyes already dull. In the game, she was the top laner, fighting against the shy's Aatrox. In the first wave of minions, she gained an advantage, and with a set of sprinting and lifesteal combos, she didn't lose any health at all, while the opponent lost more than half of his health.

She was showing off her last-hitting skills, and the opponent barely dared to gain experience.

However, when her character reached level 3 and all her special skills were unlocked, Xin Zhao suddenly rushed out of the bushes, and at the same time, Aatrox flashed and comboed with his skills. She was first knocked away by Xin Zhao's three-stage Q, then knocked away by Aatrox, and finally killed, giving Aatrox the first blood.

What was Liu Yuan doing? Malphite was still jungling. Malphite can jungle, and his ability to gank is decent, but facing a strong jungler like Xin Zhao and a strong top laner like Aatrox, he didn't dare to gank because attempting a gank would just be a feeding to the enemy.

On the other side, Bottom-lane was Jibril, who was completely numb. She perfectly substituted the data and fought against Uzi. With her experience in fighting superior races, the opponent couldn't reduce her health at all.

At the same time, she knew that this game required farming to gain gold and controlling the lane. She managed the lane accurately and didn't miss a single last hit. She was very strong, and in a 1v1 state, no one could beat her except the AI with the highest difficulty of the system.

But the problem was that Liu Yuan was playing 5v5, and there was also a legendary support, Mata's Thresh. Mata was not the strongest at playing Thresh, but his support ability was legendary among all human-computers.

When Liu Yuan noticed that the support was absent, he activated his ultimate, recalled home to buy items, and left Takashima Yuuna to be killed. Then Xin Zhao, Thresh, and Vayne fought three against one.

Jibril successfully ran to the first tower with her evasive positioning and spatial movement ability but was finally knocked away by a tornado from the bush and killed by Yasuo who jumped out.

Chelsea? Just pretend she doesn't exist. She did know Zed's skills, but her ability was no match for Faker's. This bot was almost invincible in a 1v1 in the mid lane. Unless her combat skills far exceeded the system settings, she would most likely lose in a 1v1.

Let alone Faker, even a well-known mid laner could easily defeat Chelsea's Zed.

And Chelsea was a novice. The result was that she was slaughtered. She was tower-dived at level 4 and killed by Yasuo's ultimate at level 6. And then? There was no then. Fifteen minutes later, the game was over.

The game score was an astonishing 1:16. All the gold was gone, all the towers were destroyed.

As for that one kill, it was Jibril's, who managed to kill Vayne in a 1v1 in the jungle. After that, the opponent began to target Jibril crazily, and she went on a rampage. In the end, she contributed eight deaths.

After this game, Liu Yuan calmly opened a Coke and drank it.

"Everyone, how do you feel?"

Kisara said expressionlessly, "Too strong. Whether it’s combat skills or awareness, the opponent is top-notch. Under such power suppression, the opponent completely crushed me. Their character is much stronger than mine."

In the game, except for the skills that are locked by the system and need to be unlocked through leveling up, she could use all her combat skills. However, she only won once at level 1 by recklessly engaging. After that, she found that every time she attacked, the opponent dodged accurately, and whenever her skills were interrupted or she was distracted, the opponent would exploit a loophole.

In pure weapon duels, her skills were indeed higher than the opponent's, but her strength was seriously insufficient, and she lost in the duel. She also lost in lane control and in teammate support.

There was no trick. Liu Yuan played a character who mixed between roles; he was originally there to blend in. The jungle position was essentially non-existent. But even if Liu Yuan didn't blend in, the outcome would have been no different. On her side, including Jibril and Kisara, there were at most three who could fight, while the opponent had five well-rounded players with strong overall control.

There was only one way to win: everyone needed to have a good sense of the overall game and their personal combat strength had to be on par with the opponent's heroes. Otherwise, against this level of AI, if there was a problem in any position, the team would lose.

As for the highest difficulty, it's not about a tie but must be executed flawlessly.

Takashima Yuuna waved her hand, "Facing the opponent, I feel that all my actions are within their expectations."

Jibril covered her chest, "I am unwilling! I am unwilling, why is it like this!"

Liu Yuan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Because I am a big burden! You can't win with me here."

"Damn it!!!"

Chelsea was in a daze, and her confidence was gone in an instant. Unlike the others, she was completely stagnant.

"Newbie, don't feel bad. If you really like that character, you can practice with the AI more often in the future. When you reach a certain level of proficiency, you can also master his skills in real life."

"What? Really?"

"Of course! If you play a character in the game, you will master its skills little by little as your proficiency increases. But don't think about combat skills; you can only improve those through your own combat."

"Okay!"

Chelsea didn't say much, she had made up her mind.

She felt that if she could master Zed's skills and cooperate with her Gaia foundation, she would be able to successfully assassinate even a special existence like Kurome when performing assassination missions in the future.

After playing a game together, Chelsea's nervousness gradually disappeared. Everyone in the game blamed each other and discussed combat skills. Although they were bad and lost, this unwillingness and the joy of playing games with companions were imprinted in Chelsea's memory.

And she also learned one thing in the game: the time ratio between working time and real time was different, so there wouldn’t be too much delay. If the basic business on her side was qualified, she could go back after work.

Overall, it wasn't bad, and she wasn't stupid. Her dream was to correct this distorted world with her own hands. The Gaia foundation only allowed her to disguise, and she felt that this ability of the Lord of Shadow was the real power that would allow her to fight against darkness.

Thinking of this, she took out the Gaia foundation, and in an instant, she turned into the Lord of Shadow, Zed.

"The unseen blade is the deadliest!"

This sudden transformation stunned everyone, but Liu Yuan reacted very quickly, "Okay! But I think you need to change the lines."

"What lines?"

The girl's voice, completely different from Zed's, asked in confusion.

"You should say 'Invisible pretense is the deadliest' now."

"..."

Chelsea turned back to her original body and looked at Liu Yuan with a depressed face, "Boss, you're very boring like this. No girl will like you."

Liu Yuan fell into deeper thought, "The opposite sex will only affect my game progress..."

At this moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Kisara: "In a way... the boss is right..."

Jibril: "I don’t know how to refute that."

Takashima Yuuna: "I feel that the boss is most likely to spend his whole life with games."

Kisara knew Liu Yuan's preferences because he had mentioned that he liked certain attributes.

Wait?

Kisara suddenly thought of something and looked at Chelsea, and Chelsea, who had turned into Zed, also looked at Kisara with curiosity.

At this moment, Kisara had a bold idea to make Liu Yuan obey.

Chapter 165: Newcomers, New Daily Life

Kisara, a veteran in the internet cafe, often made trouble with Liu Yuan, so naturally, she had heard some important information from him.

For example, Liu Yuan would choose smaller roles because he was afraid of making mistakes.

Originally, she had no chance to fight back, but!

"Hey, big-headed demon, are you coming? This time I'll set up two difficult AIs and three legendary human players, are you in?"

"I'm in!"

Kisara didn't think much and started the game again.

This time Liu Yuan got serious, but he still didn't choose to substitute data. Instead, he picked a hero who didn't seem to have a particularly big role in the game, Master Yi.

Because all game operations come from the player's own strength, if the strength isn't sufficient, they can use the third-person mouse and keyboard to control. If they are confident in their own strength, they can directly transform into a swordsman and start fighting physically.

This round was indeed a win. Liu Yuan didn't slack off. He ganked the top lane and got the first blood. In the jungle, he soloed the opponent's Piltover Enforcer. From start to finish, the opponent didn't hit him, and he easily took them down.

Jibril in the bottom lane turned on her unparalleled mode. With the help of Takashima Yuuna's Blitzcrank, they caught one, killed one, caught two, and killed both. Then in the mid lane... Chelsea's Zed vs. Faker's Zed, the mid lane was still lost.

But it was not a big problem. Except for the top and mid lanes, the other lanes were winning. Kisara in the top lane also faced the Sword Demon again. She is the Elden Lord! She is one of the disciples of the Drunken Sword Immortal. Once she started taking the game seriously and figured out the opponent's routine, although she couldn't get kills, she could go one-for-one.

They played like this until dawn. There was still an hour before the store opened, so Liu Yuan called off the five consecutive games in the internet cafe.

That night, except for the second and third games, they won steadily. After a few games, everyone got a bit overconfident and repeated the first lineup. As a result, the mid lane and jungler collapsed, and the game was lost.

In fact, it wasn't the jungler, Liu Yuan's fault; his operational ability was just far inferior to the opponent's jungler.

As we all know, in this type of game, if the mid laner is killed and the jungler is led by the opponent, and the other lanes can’t gain an advantage, there is only one outcome: the whole team collapses.

However, as the number of games increased, they dragged it out longer and longer. At least the last game lasted for an hour, and they were getting closer and closer to a real victory.

"It's really interesting. Boss, will you continue to play tonight?"

"Do you want to see you and Aatrox scraping at each other again?"

The two quarreled and cleaned up. While counting, Takashima Yuuna also taught Chelsea. Jibril returned to the main store. At present, the main store doesn't need much work from her.

It's nothing more than a simple explanation of the new game. If she encounters a difficult problem, she will call Liu Yuan for support. As long as Liu Yuan isn't busy, he can arrive in half a minute.

Chelsea is very smart. Although she isn't very strong as an assassin, she is also very keen and has high emotional intelligence to avoid detection, observe people's thoughts and actions.

After listening to the work details and taking careful notes, she took out the Gaia foundation.

"Excuse me, can I change to another appearance? There are people from my world here, and I’m afraid it will affect my future plans."

"Okay~"

Takashima Yuuna nodded and agreed. The most important reason for signing her instead of Kurome who was also qualified was that she could transform.

In a blink of an eye, Chelsea’s appearance turned into a blonde maid. The perfect figure combined with the maid outfit would definitely catch people's eyes, and coupled with her beautiful appearance after the transformation, it was estimated that no one could resist her charm.

However, looking at this appearance, Liu Yuan shook his head: "It's too beautiful. It can't be too striking. If you have your own talent, I won’t stop you, but it should be a suitable body shape with a beautiful but not outstanding appearance, so it will impress guests but not distract them."

Under Liu Yuan's suggestion, Chelsea's appearance changed a little. The maid outfit remained, but the size became average. The appearance was just as Liu Yuan said, very good-looking but not overly eye-catching.

After finishing this, Takashima Yuuna continued teaching the next tasks. Kisara whispered, "Boss, don’t you like big ones? Why do you want small ones?"

"I like natural ones..."

"..."

Kisara choked; this statement directly ruined all her plans.

At 8 o'clock, the internet cafe opened for business.

The first person to come in today was Shibazaki Yousuke. With Chelsea's welcome, he subconsciously looked up.

"Hey? Is she the new network administrator? Where's Ms. Kisara?"

Kisara stood up and waved, "Here~"

"Oh! Ms. Kisara is still here."

After he said this, the elf beside him asked with a hint of jealousy, "Do you like Kisara?"

"Not really, I just like her more."

This sentence made Chelsea's expression freeze. She silently muttered about his low EQ and then introduced, "Dear customer, our store has a new competitive game on the shelves today, with..."

"Competitive game? Not interested."

Shimasaki Yosuke is firmly in the single-player camp. He can accept single-player team formations but will never play pure competitive games because he knows he isn't good at them.

Chelsea was directly rejected, but it wasn't a big problem. The next customers, Kumoko and Yoshida Saki, also refused. Her recommendation method didn't hit the points they liked, but Tanjiro was really interested.

Recently, his battle with the demons had hit a bottleneck, and he especially hoped to find a real person to compete with.

The Puella Magi Holy Quintet more interested. They were happy to accept a game that five people could play together.

Tatsumi's situation was more complicated. Although he had completed the Terraria's Guide for Dummies, he had not yet completed the Red Alert Guide. In order to build a mobile vehicle, he decided to focus all his energy on Red Alert during this period.

The effect was also very good. At least he had made a For Dummy Guide for the first twenty levels of the Epsilon Era. As long as you follow the steps in the guide, you will pass that level.

There isn't much work in the internet cafe. When there are new games, they recommend them to the regulars. When there are new customers, they attract them. Generally, two people are the most suitable.

One person guides the guests to express their purpose, and the other person recommends based on that purpose.

But unfortunately, there were no new guests today.

In addition to these tasks, they help guests with questions. Because Chelsea just started and doesn't know much, Takashima Yuuna handled these. Liu Yuan and Kisara chatted with regular customers from time to time. If there were small easter eggs or hidden props near the customers' game progress, Liu Yuan and Kisara would give some pointers based on the customers' personalities.

Just like that, Chelsea's first day of work was over.

Tonight, she chose not to stay but to return to her own world. She had been away for too long and had to report the completion of her mission.

But before leaving, Takashima Yuuna stopped her: "Just say that the little girl named Kurome was killed."

"Huh?"

"Trust me, she won’t appear again."

"Yeah!"

Chelsea nodded. She believed in Takashima Yuuna, because she found that Takashima Yuuna was really nice during their interactions today. Willing to answer all her questions, willing to help anyone with difficulties, and most importantly, she was younger than herself and very cute.

Originally, she felt a little scared because of the other party's strength, but after getting to know her, she liked her very much.

Returning to her own world, Chelsea found herself back at the place where she had left. She hummed a little song and went to report. When she saw the contact person, she was about to share her information but suddenly felt a sense of danger. This feeling was like facing Faker with six fully built items, and one can only be helpless and cry.

Chapter 166: The Betrayed Chelsea, the Newcomer Kirito?

The contact person suddenly stabbed her neck with a knife. This unexpected attack made Chelsea's body freeze.

"Why? Why?"

She had fought against powerful opponents countless times in the game, but now her body seemed out of control and couldn't move at all.

The knife was close to her throat, and she felt death approaching. Her consciousness began to blur. She recalled everything she had experienced. She was a killer for the organization, and her team had been wiped out while trying to assassinate dangerous targets. Why were they treating her like this?

She felt the cold blade on her neck, but at the moment of death, the knife passed through her body.

"What?"

The attacker was stunned. He was sure it was Chelsea. There was no problem with her figure, smell, height, or appearance. And she was holding the imperial weapon Gaia Foundation, but she didn't use it.

The attacker was surprised when he gazed at Chelsea, it wants his target anymore but a black mass of darkness.

But why is this happening? What is this shadow?

Just when he was confused, a steel shuriken appeared in the shadow's hand and pierced his throat accurately. After the quick kill, the shadow clone disappeared.

Chelsea appeared near the shadows while covering the skin cut by the sharp blade, her eyes full of confusion.

"I can't stay here, I need to leave. But where to go?"

Chelsea was confused. She didn't understand why the Revolutionary Army wanted to kill her. But she knew that if she didn't leave now, she would die. She used a sneak attack to kill the contact person.

The contact person's death would inevitably make her wanted by the Revolutionary Army.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had a place to go.

She returned to the internet cafe. As soon as she arrived, she saw Kisara and Takashima Yuuna playing Resident Evil 6.

Liu Yuan was sitting at the front desk, soaking instant noodles and mumbling to himself.

"The 30-day cooldown ends tomorrow. Give me some good games!"

Before, it would have been a huge loss to buy games in the mall for 100,000. But as the price of games went up, the special price of 100,000 became the most important means for him to change his fate.

But Liu Yuan knew too well that there were countless junk games in his world, and these games were pulled in to fill the prize pool. It was good enough to get a few usable games from a pile of junk, but getting the best games was too difficult.

As he was praying, he saw Chelsea at the door.

"Hey? You're back? I knew you wouldn't want to miss the company meal. Come on! This bowl of instant noodles is prepared for you."

"Hey?"

"Don't say hey, just eat it."

Liu Yuan got up and pulled Chelsea to the front desk. After she sat down, he sat next to her.

"Boss, I..."

"I know you're embarrassed, but don't be. Today is your first day of work, and I'm here to welcome you. There won't be so many delicious free foods in the future. As for other things, think about them later. There's plenty of time."

"Hmm..."

Chelsea opened the lid of the instant noodles. The aroma made Kisara, who was playing games, take off her glasses and look at Liu Yuan pitifully: "Boss, I'm hungry too."

"Make it yourself."

"Tsk, treating me differently."

"Yeah! Don’t you agree?"

"I agree, I agree~ Who made you the boss, hum~"

She hummed but saw Liu Yuan take out another box of instant noodles, soak it, and take out a sausage! She swallowed her saliva and was about to praise Liu Yuan for being gentle with women, but then she saw him open it and start eating.

"Gurgle!"

Hearing the sound of her stomach, Kisara was furious. She put down her glasses and strode toward Liu Yuan, seemingly ready to compete with him.

Instead, she walked to the front desk: "Boss, give me a bowl of instant noodles, I'm hungry, please."

Watching Kisara's cuteness and eating the instant noodles, Chelsea felt a bit bad and her mood dropped, and tears as big as beans rolled down her face.

"Hey, hey, hey? Chelsea? Why are you crying? It must be the boss who bullied you. Today, I will commit treason and kill the boss to sacrifice him to the gods."

"Hehe, I don't know why she's crying, but I know that someone is dead today."

Amidst the commotion in the hall and Kisara's begging for mercy, Kisara's instant noodles were also cooked. With a fist-sized shape on her head, she slurped noodles and pointed out: "Crying won't solve any problems. If anyone makes you angry, just fight back. Don’t be afraid, I'll protect you."

Kisara acted like a big sister, and Liu Yuan glanced at her and said to Chelsea: "Don't cry. Let's go! Today I will help you sister to gain points, and you will bully Faker."

By bullying Faker, Liu Yuan meant leading Chelsea in a 5v5 man-versus-AI game. His team was full of super artificial intelligence, while the opponents had four simple man-based AI and one Faker.

Liu Yuan wasn't bragging; if he lost like this, he would eat the table on the spot.

From the beginning, Chelsea wasn't in a clear state of mind, but with each victory, she could hold off the opponent for longer and longer. Her mindset gradually recovered.

With another victory, Chelsea no longer sounded sad and urged: "Boss, another game."

"Nope! Open the door to welcome guests."

"Hey?"

Chelsea looked at the time; it was 7:30 in the morning. She remembered that the cafe opened at 8 o'clock, and even if she returned to her world, she would have to come to work at 7:50 or 7:40.

Yes, the internet cafe claimed a work system of 7:88, but the actual working hours were 12 hours and 20 minutes.

"Hmm..."

Chelsea patted her face, adjusted her mood, and used Gaia Foundation.

For some reason, she transformed into Kurome. A sailor suit with short black hair made Liu Yuan think she was recruiting child labor.

After checking the system to confirm she was an adult, he was relieved.

At 8 o'clock, guests started coming in, but the boy in black clothes carrying two swords was someone Chelsea had never seen before.

Takashima Yuuna whispered to her: "Newcomer."

Hearing this, she understood it was time for her to really work.

"Hello, guest. This is the 4D Space Internet Cafe. You can play real games here and get weapons, equipment, and various props from the games. The guests in the internet cafe are very friendly and can help you with any difficulties you encounter."

However, when he heard the word "game," Kirigaya Kazuto had PTSD. He was already in a real game and now had to play another game after somehow getting into another world? Or was it a real game again? Did he think that dying once in reality wasn't enough, so he let himself die again in virtual reality?

Seeing Kirigaya Kazuto's reluctance, Takashima Yuuna spoke: "Sir, this space is beyond the world you live in. Playing games here allows you to experience real game content without dying. And the power obtained here can be taken anywhere. Even if your body is in the game world, this power can still be used."

Chapter 167: The Black Swordsman in League of Legends

Kirigaya Kazuto, a person who entered a virtual reality game that became a real death game. He had just entered a game called SAO not long ago and was using the content he noted down during the beta test to obtain special quests and items when he suddenly got here.

Did he transmigrated in the process? Can he continue to play the game after Transmigrating? This made Kirigaya Kazuto unsure of how to react.

Originally, he wanted to leave directly. He was already in a real death game. Another real game? Was he dissatisfied that he didn't die fast enough? However, when he heard Takashima Yuuna say that the games here would not result in death and that the items in these game could be freely be taken back, he was intrigued.

At the same time, he carefully observed this Internet cafe. Many customers were surfing the Internet, and some were wearing glasses like virtual reality helmets while playing and communicating. Some people were happily playing, gesturing, and coming to the front desk to buy a lot of food and drinks.

"It's expensive..."

Kirigaya Kazuto saw the Internet price on the screen. His family was not wealthy, and he couldn't afford the price.

As if sensing his predicament, Takashima Yuuna tempted him: "This Internet cafe supports lifespan as collateral. When you have money or get some special items, you can come to this Internet cafe to trade."

"Really?"

Kirigaya Kazuto looked at the price of the collateral, 10 for one day of life. According to the consumption level of this Internet cafe, sixty days of life is enough for one day, and thirty days of life is enough to buy a game.

That is to say, one year of life can be played for six days, ten years and sixty days.

But now he is in a death game, an environment where he can die at any time, and life seems to be worthless.

"How long can I live?"

"Your a long-lived person. You can live to 80 years old."

"80? If I give it 10 years of my life to try, and then redeem my life in the remaining time, can I do it?"

"Of course! One day before you turn 70, as long as you raise enough money, we will still return your 10 years of life. And don't worry, our mortgage has no interest."

"Then I'll try it."

The price is expensive, but it's not unaffordable. If I really don't want to play, I can just leave. If it's really so magical, if I want to survive by chance, I can also work to pay off the debt.

The money for 10 years of life can be paid off with a year's salary. But if what these two people said is right, it would be a great profit if he can take something out of the game.

Under the guidance of Chelsea, Kirigaya Kazuto sat in front of the computer.

"Use these glasses to enter the virtual world. These are the games owned by our store. You can choose freely according to your needs. Excuse me, sir, what do you want?"

"Me?"

Kirigaya Kazuto fell into deep thought.

What does he want? He just wanted to survive the game, nothing else.

"I want to become stronger."

"Then I recommend this to you..."

Before Chelsea finished her words, Takashima Yuuna interrupted her: "This guest, I recommend you play League of Legends. This game can customize stats and skills according to your current strength. You can compete with various masters at any time, and you can also fight with teammates. At the same time, this game simply improves your reaction speed and adds a few insignificant skills, which will not be detected by the Virtual Game you are stuck playing now."

Chelsea almost recommend Elden Ring, but luckily Yuuna noticed. Otherwise this guest might have suffered a PTSD attack.

"Is that so? Then League of Legends is better."

He also considered whether bringing some things from the game would be regarded as a bug and he would be killed instantly. Now hearing the boss's words, he felt confident.

He found the game League of Legends, bought the game, and entered the game according to the prompts. He carefully read the introduction of the game.

Seeing that all the guests started playing the game, Takashima Yuuna breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, boss, how did I do?"

This is the first time that Takashima Yuuna has completed customer recruitment by herself since she took over the branch. Before, either Liu Yuan helped or Kisara assisted. She always felt that such achievements were not hers.

But this time, she was the main force from beginning to end, which made her very excited.

"You did a great job. You have already taken over here for a while. I am more relieved to hand over this store to you."

"Yeah!"

Takashima Yuuna nodded excitedly.

On the other side, after entering the game, Kazuto Kirigaya looked at the 1v1 and 5v5 modes. After carefully checking the differences between the different modes, he opened 1v1. He took a look at the current 49 online players, half of whom have entered the game, and the other half should be matching or simply AFK?

Kirigaya Kazuto is a standard game player. He has played all kinds of games, such as MOBA games, but not virtual reality versions. And playing a MOBA game in the a 'real' game is a first time.

"Your skills and attributes have been generated, please check."

After learning from Kazuto Kirigaya, this game has two modes. One is Self-data where the player uses their own strength, completely substituting for a game character, and the system will generate five skills according to the specific situation of the player, one of which is fixed as a passive skill, and the other four skills will be adjusted according to the actual situation.

The system clearly states that if there is a large gap between the player's data, the skills will be regenerated.

The rules of generation are also very interesting.

A strong person will generate four skills with interesting mechanisms but low damage.

And those who are not strong will generate simple and crude skills with explosive damage, and even have system-assisted casting.

At the same time, there are various balance systems to ensure that the players are in a relatively balanced stage. Any player with good teamwork and the will to not admit defeat can defeat the strong in this game.

The strong can also gain some skills that they have never had discovered in this game, or make their original abilities more proficient.

After all, not everyone is suitable for soul games.

At present, the Elden Ring has already appeared in the embarrassing situation that the old players can play casually and the new players can't get pass the first bosses. Even if someone helps, the player himself is still tried to preserve their dignity to not embarrass themselves in front of others.

Get useful weapons and equipment in the open world and run past enemies, and go deep? No, they would try to be honest and get beaten.

And LoL, in some aspects, it satisfies some players who are addicted to being just bad at the game. If you want to improve your strength and don't want to suffer so much, then LoL is definitely one of the more suitable choices.

In addition, like Monster Hunter, Minecraft and Terraria are also very good choices. However, there is no sense of defeat, and even strong players in the same Internet cafe can be defeated. This game is definitely more suitable than other games.

At the same time, Kirigaya Kazuto also saw his skill set.

Passive skill: Hidden, the enemy cannot view your status bar, items and Level.

Skill 1: Sonic Impact, hit the enemy at super fast speed, and stun the enemy when hitting obstacles.

Skill 2: Magic Blade Striker, attack enemies within a certain range.

Skill 3: Cross-Slash, split into four phantoms slashing, enemies get near will be attacked by the phantoms, and Champion can teleport to the phantom or the enemy/allied Champion that touches the phantom blade.

Skill 4: Starburst Stream, Leap into the air and slash sixteen sword strikes to the designated target, deals True Damage.

Seeing this skill combination, Kirigaya Kazuto's face turned black.

Strong players will be designated skills according to the player himself, weak players will be designed some simply powerful but crude skills.

This clearly tells him that he is very weak and just an ordinary person?

This made Kirigaya Kazuto, who has been playing games for many years, feel like he has been insulted, but it doesn't matter, he has already started the game match. He was just giving it a try. Although there were few people, there were many waiting.

What if he was lucky enough to be matched to a noob? It didn't matter if he wasn't matched.

He would try once the time exceeded five minutes.

However, his luck was very good, and a 5v5 match in the Internet cafe began.

Chapter 168: Internet Cafe 5v5 Extra

Today is the first day of the game being released, and many old customers bought it without a second thought.

In the main store, Minato Namikaze was playing Minecraft while waiting for a match on LOL. In addition to him, Nyaruko, Zhongli, Schwi, and the Puella Magi Holy Quintet were all in the match.

The Holy Quintet consisted of Madoka, Sayaka, Tomoe, Sakura Kyoko, and Magical Girl Homura. As for the ordinary Homura Akemi? She opened a Terraria Calamity mod and was happily fighting against the Calamity Boss, but was beaten so badly she couldn't even find her bearings.

In addition to them, more people found five familiar players and started a happy human-computer game. Others came for a 1v1 solo like Fujimaru Kaede and Natsuki Subaru, two veteran customers who started a solo match.

Look, the two of them played for a long time and the winning rate was exactly 50-50, neither stronger than the other. It was a coincidence that Kazuto Kiritani encountered a 9v1 situation as soon as he entered the game.

After the match was successful and everyone confirmed their entry, the game began.

In team mode, players can communicate freely in the first thirty seconds.

In games, communication is crucial, especially in MOBA games where roles need to be assigned according to player characteristics. Generally speaking, the mid lane is recommended for fast growth, and after growth, it can support the team or help gank enemies.

The jungler leads the rhythm of the whole team and helps each lane gain an advantage.

The remaining upper and lower lanes have one lane for single development and one lane for double development. It is generally recommended that long-range players face long-range opponents and short-range players face short-range opponents. Other situations vary and should not be overthought.

"Are there newcomers?"

Minato Namikaze saw the young face of the newbie and greeted the others: "My skills were just mentioned on TT. Flying Thunder God plus Rasengan, strong support ability. I think I am more suited for the jungle to support."

Zhongli said seriously: "I can handle pressure alone in the top lane or assist in the bottom lane."

Nyaruko: "Same! I am Nyaruko in Chaos Stealth! Super assassin!"

Schwi: "ADC."

Now Schwi has successfully cleared Elden Ring, while poor Rick is still suffering in Farum Azula, as Schwi is playing League alone to try a new game.

After hearing everyone's introduction, the newbie explained his skills. Hiding it? No need. Winning only increases the character's EXP. According to the system description, when the EXP reaches a certain level, you can automatically learn new abilities.

The ones you already have will also improve their proficiency through constant battles. Minato Namikaze, Zhongli, and Nyaruko are big boss-level characters who are known for their stregnth. The remaining two don't speak often, but if you get to know them, you'll realize they are not simple.

You can ask them anything, as long as it's common, there is nothing these two don't know.

Schwi, let alone. She is recognized as a big boss, having perfectly cleared the most difficult game, Mental Omega, and won the player civil war championship several times in Red Alert. Even when targeted by seven people, she has a great probability of winning. She even tied with the strongest artificial intelligence in the Internet cafe.

But the newbie just came today, and he didn't even install TT, so he didn't know what was going on. He just introduced his skills.

After the introduction, Zhongli suggested: "Little brother, your skills are very mobile, and you have a strong single DPS ability at level 6. You can try the middle lane and cooperate with Minato for support."

"Okay!"

For some reason, even though they met for the first time, he felt that the calm man in front of him was very reliable.

Nyaruko added: "The five people on the opposite side are not simple either. They are one real god and her four messengers. One of them has the ability to stop time. I really don't know if time stop can be shown in this game."

Zhongli nodded: "Time stop? What a troublesome ability."

Minato Namikaze showed a vigilant look, but Kirito was confused. What god? What messenger? Isn't this just a virtual reality game that can improve abilities? Does it also work on gods?

The game started. This game can be described as a battle of equal strength. The stats of Kirito's teammates are very average, while the magical girl's side is extremely violent.

Mami Tomoe AD in the bottom lane, and Homura the Support. Madoka in the middle lane, Sakura Kyoko in the top lane resisted all pressure, and Miki Sayaka provided support.

The bottom and top lanes are under the greatest pressure. The opponent in the middle lane is as mobile as Minato Namikaze.

The breakthrough point of this game depends on whether the middle lane can hold Madoka back and whether Nyaruko in the top lane can withstand the pressure.

However, Nyaruko...

"Bad luck! I played badly~"

Nyaruko's passive skill is similar to Teemo's. She becomes invisible when entering the bush, and can become invisible after using the Q skill. The W skill is a small knock-up, and the E skill is a damage plus or minus.

A very good skill combination, but she faced the perverted skill heavy Sakura Kyoko. Sakura Kyoko was standing in front of the line of minions, smiling and waiting for Nyaruko to come.

Go invisible? The opponent's Q is AOE and she has a True Sight and Nyaruko doesn't know where she placed it. If she goes invisible, she may just be trying to feed. Compete with skills at level 3?

She does have a knock-up, but the opponent also has a stun!

The barrier formed by the red chain will stun continuously after anyone enters it, and the opponent has the ability to dash. Even if she uses Flash, she can't escape.

So Nyaruko decided to lay low this game, hiding! After level 6, wait for Minato to gank, and rely on the ultimate skill's super high single-target damage to kill enemies.

In the early stage, not losing experience and not being killed is a victory.

On the jungle side, Minato Namikaze has a slight advantage. First, his skills do not consume extra energy. Second, he has rich combat experience in the ninja world and knows when to support and when to retreat.

The bottom lane is a little bit subtle. If it is only Schwi and others, the bottom lane is already crushed by them. But Homura Akemi's time stop ability is very buggy. Her time stop is limited to five seconds. But she can do anything within those five seconds.

It is also thanks to the game system that the damage Homura Akemi can cause in the time stop state is weakened; otherwise, people would just cry and complain gg.

But even so, facing other players, it is basically a sure kill unless the opponent also has the time stop ability.

But unfortunately, Homura Akemi met Zhongli this time.

Zhongli's passive skill increases his health over time. His first skill releases a rock wall to change the terrain and cause continuous damage. His second skill is passive, increasing his maximum health, and when releasing his first skill, he adds a shield based on 20% of his maximum health. His third skill can reduce the armor and magic resistance of all surrounding enemies when in a shield state.

His Ultimate drops a gigantic rock, causing high damage to the enemy and petrifying the target for three seconds. If the target is not hit, a passive shield of the same value is added to the range of Zhongli and the teammates in the range of the fallen star.

However, this ultimate skill has an obvious shortcoming: the cooldown is a bit long. The ultimate skill lands in 0.9 seconds. The damage and control are calculated only after landing.

Homura Akemi's time stop harassment will reduce her own attack power, and Zhongli uses the Q skill to shield himself and change the terrain. This results in Akemi Homura being unable to sneak attack the sharpshooter Schwi within those five seconds, and beat Zhongli.

Homura Akemi's time stop has a starting action because she needs to turn the time clock on her arm. And Zhongli can always add a shield at the moment of her own time stop. Fake the wind-up action? It seems Zhongli can see through people's hearts and can see through her own fake actions.

And Kirito, as a newbie, became the worst one.

His enemy is Madoka, who came to surf the Internet for a while.

As a god, she has her own combat experience in all timelines.

Chapter 169: Fairy from the Sky (Additional Update)

After system matching, both sides had a fair contest in terms of numbers, but the difference in combat experience and reaction speed couldn't be eliminated by the system. However, that didn't matter.

Kirito, as a player in SAO and with strong talent, knew how to play as soon as he took over.

His skill advantage was at level three, and the opponent looked like an ordinary girl, but when facing Madoka, he felt an unknown sense of oppression.

The first wave of minions appeared, and when he tried to last-hit them, he was shot by two arrows. He attempted to harass with Cross-Slash, but as soon as the phantoms flew out, the opponent smiled, waved her hand, and walked out of its range.

However, Kirito calculated the timing, and when there was one second left for Four-way Slash, he upgraded to level two. He teleported directly to the clone next to Madoka and used Sonic Impact.

However, this impact missed.

In this game, there are no homing skills, and range skills are not guaranteed to hit.

Just like Sonic Impact, if it were in a general MOBA game, it would likely hit its target. But here, players can dodge by moving.

And the Magic Blade Strike? It looks like a ranged attack, but when Kirito reached level 3, after a set of combos, Madoka didn't lose even a quarter of health, but he lost more than half of his own.

Thanks to Kirito's passive skill, Madoka couldn't judge Kirito's health, otherwise, he might have been tower dived by Madoka under the tower.

"No, this won't work, we must play to our advantage!"

Kirito looked at the situation in other lanes. Nyaruko was under the tower and in the bush, and Zhongli was tanking the damage from two enemies alone to create space for Schwi's minions.

The jungler should help the bottom lane to gank, as the top lane was heavily suppressed and significantly behind in level and economy.

But at this moment, Minato Namikaze, finding nothing to gank in the bottom lane, came to the middle lane and saw that Madoka was about to push Kirito under the tower. He asked, "Kirito, do you have your ultimate?"

"One minion away."

"Okay, go in first, and we'll kill her quickly."

"Level 6!"

The moment he reached level 6, Kirito's expression changed.

For so many years, even during the closed beta of SAO or the official death version of SAO, he had never felt such pressure. Now, he wanted to prove himself.

Cross Slash! Magic Blade Striker! Sonic Impact! Ignite!

"Starburst Stream!"

The first three consecutive skills all missed, but the fourth skill, Starburst Stream, which flies into the sky and causes true damage on the ground, was hard to dodge because it was a super-high-speed air slash of sixteen strikes. However, Madoka dodged the first three strikes directly.

Just when Kirito slashed the fourth strike, a dagger flew out.

"Not good!"

Madoka realized she was caught, looked at Sayaka Miki's position, and saw she was ganking Schwi in the bottom lane. She had to make sure she died slower than Schwi, so her team would get the first blood and a good economy.

"It's still early, we can't lose."

Madoka's body emitted a pink light, and in the state of the Law of Cycle, she gained a lot of attack speed and spell vamp.

Starburst Stream does have high damage, but unfortunately, it is not invincible. To be precise, in the current game state, except for some items, few characters' skills are invincible. With quick reflexes, you can hit them.

Forget attacking Minato Namikaze; he's too fast and experienced, making an attack futile. Kirito, although fast, lacks experience, and his aerial skills? He's the one who can't dodge.

Madoka's bow and arrow were aimed at the air, and every time she struck, she hit Kirito. After each hit, she added a rain of arrows to restore her own health while causing slight damage to Kirito and the suddenly appearing Minato Namikaze.

That's right, all of Madoka's skills have low damage, with normal attacks maintaining a standard ranged level, but still lower than most ranged attacks. This is because she is a god. If she weren't weakened, no one could fight her.

Even so, when the two attacked simultaneously, Madoka stopped dodging, and Kirito hit half of his ultimate move. Madoka only lost one-third of her health.

"It's not over yet."

Madoka continued to attack, but Namikaze Minato's attack also arrived.

Flying Thunder God! Flying Thunder God Stage 2!

Followed by a crazy physical assault. Madoka kept dodging, but Namikaze Minato was faster. When Madoka was about to retreat to the tower's range, he successfully killed her.

In the bottom lane, Miki Sayaka launched a surprise attack. Her skills are very strong. The passive increases normal damage, the first skill dashes, the second skill resists damage, the third skill continues to attack within range, the fourth skill increases the attack distance for the first attack to trigger the passive and doesn't count towards the passive cooldown, and the active effect resets the ultimate move's passive effect. Used well, three hits in one second can kill any squishy target.

Now she was also level 6, while Schwi was only level 5.

However, her actions were noticed by Zhongli. On his first recall, Zhongli bought three wards and placed them strategically. This gave him vision of Miki Sayaka. He guessed she was going to attack from behind.

Just looking at the experience bar, there was still some time before he reached level 6. But it was not a big problem. When Sayaka rushed out, Zhongli, who had saved his skills, erected a pillar.

The pillar appeared right in her path, knocking her into the air. Her first strike was blocked by Zhongli, who flashed over, but even with the shield, this strike took one-third of his health.

Miki Sayaka, realizing she had targeted the wrong enemy, had no chance to change targets and continued to aim at Zhongli with her second strike.

It didn't matter who she killed. Zhongli might not die in three strikes, but it was not a big problem. Tomoe Mami and Akemi Homura had already arrived.

Zhongli, who took two strikes, had only one-third of his health left. However, when Miki Sayaka struck the third time, Zhongli moved silently, causing her to miss.

But at this moment, Akemi Homura stopped time. However, Schwi's reaction speed was faster. She used Flash and tower dived under the tower. It took her more than five seconds to reach the spot.

After the time stop ended, Schwi completely ignored Akemi Homura behind her, aiming her gun at Miki Sayaka, who was about to finish off Zhongli: "General!"

The bullets were fired, and the tower's stats were also recorded. Miki Sayaka wanted to escape, but the moment she was hit by the bullet, she felt paralyzed and out of control.

Schwi's passive ability, Weakness Scouter, can paralyze the enemy for one second by hitting a designated weak spot. The cooldown is ten seconds. It is a skill most people can hardly trigger, but with Schwi's super high calculation, every bullet accurately hits the weakness.

When the paralysis ended, Zhongli's pillar connected again, leaving Miki Sayaka with no way to retreat.

The bottom lane also successfully secured a kill. While the middle and bottom lanes successfully broke out the kills, Sakura Kyoko in the top lane also completed a solo kill.

Nyaruko, who was killed by a single player, felt terrible: "Wow, I'm just a useless Nyaruko. Was it necessary to kill me at level 6? Damn, she even had three true sight wards, when did I offend her?"

Chapter 170 Kirito: "Dual Swords! Ah!!!"

"Dual Swords!! Ah!!!"

Kirito, the tank assassin, launched a fierce attack on the enemy's squishy ADC. Cross-Slash! Magic Blade Strike! Sonic Impact, and finally, the invincible Starburst Stream.

The whole process was smooth, but except for the Magic Blade Strike that barely touched Mami, the other skills missed entirely.

Cross Slash was rushed, Sonic Impact was dodged, and finally, he launched his Ultimate, but he was blown up and he was shot in the head by Mami, resulting in an instant kill.

In the fountain, Kirito, waiting for resurrection, looked at the sky with lifeless eyes. He had always felt he had good talent. Even in the SAO beta version, he was considered a well-known player.

How come in this game, he had become an existence easily lose and killed?

Seeing Kirito in silence, Nyaruko, who had just returned home from a death, patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, don't feel bad. You are the only ordinary person on both teams. It's amazing that you can play like this. What's more, this body doesn't require us to be the carry. We just need to play a harassing role."

The harassing role refers to Nyaruko's 5/5/5 and Kirito's 0/11/0. Kirito's record could already compete with many Yasuo players.

However, the only advantage of Kirito's passive was that no one except his teammates could see any of his data, whether it was kills, last hits, or assists. Although kills and assists can be remembered by themselves.

But last hits cannot be tracked. He seemed like he was catching people several times, but in reality, he was stealing the opponent's jungle and was taken down by Sayaka, the opponent's jungler, with three strikes.

However, the overall situation was good because the number of times he died didn't matter much, and his own ADC had risen.

Schwi, with computing power exceeding that of artificial intelligence and combat experience once provided by the entire network of Ex-Machina, was very strong compared to ordinary people, though she was still a little weaker than Madoka.

Even if the time stop of the Homura was activated, Schwi could calculate the approximate position of the opponent and suppress them with firepower. What's more, the big daddy of supports this time was Zhongli.

Zhongli did not roam, but his ward placement was perfect, almost in blind spots, but the enemy could flash past for a moment and will be discovered in a split second. This moment might be too slow for ordinary people to react.

But except for Kirito, there were no ordinary people.

Although there were two "useless" people on their side, these two tanks had very strong harassment abilities. For example, Kirito had a set of brainless skills. Do you dodge? If not, take the damage. All your team members are squishy and will die.

Dodge? Our two assassins and one carry are not easy targets. As long as you distract yourself to dodge Kirito's skills, you will die.

This is also why Kirito had eleven assists.

Although the damage caused by eleven assists was not even one thousand, in the duel between masters, even a moment of distraction could be fatal or lead to a collapse.

Moreover, Kirito's lineup was more tanky.

Yes, Holy Quintet's lineup looked very strong, except for the top lane, which was all tanky. The output was high, but as long as a core DPS was killed in seconds, the others would be killed directly.

So, with Kirito constantly dying, the battle came to an end at thirty minutes.

The magical girls found that they couldn't win the frontal team battle, and there was also the annoying Nyaruko who stole the buffs while split-pushing. Although Nyaruko's data was average, this invisible assassin had the ability to kill people in seconds!

And as a Nyaruko, you could be a bad player in the game, but you had to be coquettish.

A coquettish Nyaruko was not only unbearable for ordinary people but even a for magical girl they couldn't stand it.

Team fight?

Zhongli was a tanky guy, and you would be knocked away by the pillar when you started a team fight.

Be conservative?

Zhongli would casually enter the defense tower, and the formation against you was solid. Then Minato used Flying Thunder God, and Kirito formed a four-square formation. It was unknown whether they killed anyone or not, but they were full of momentum anyway.

Want to turn the tables in this situation where they were bound to lose?

They had to rely on the dragon.

Five people focused on the dragon in the dragon pit. Outside the dragon pit, Zhongli produced a flying shoe and teleported directly to the dragon pit.

At the same time Zhongli appeared, a star fell from the sky, and outside, Nyaruko suddenly appeared with a small knockback, interrupting Sayaka and Sakura Kyoko, who were about to escape.

At this moment, Kirito also launched another powerful Starburst Stream at the enemy, as there was no way to hide when they were petrified. At the last minute, Kirito secured a kill.

At the end of the game, all players were sent to a hall for post-war communication.

Although he won and did not contribute much to the whole game, Kirito still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, you have done very well."

Zhongli gave Kirito recognition. He could see that Kirito was a player who was only slightly better than ordinary people, or even a new player in the Internet cafe. It was impressive for a new player to have a sense of the overall situation.

Madoka also gave a thumbs up to Kirito. Although she was killed in the middle lane and dodged all skills, she was the Law of Cycle and a magical girl, and she had long surpassed the ranks of ordinary people.

Kirito nodded: "Thank you, I feel that I need to become stronger."

"Well, you can tell me your needs, and I can provide you with some applicable solutions."

"Really?"

Minato Namikaze interjected: "He? Don't worry. He is a very knowledgeable person in the Internet cafe. In addition to some special problems in his own world, he can summarize and give suggestions on common problems."

"Thank you."

Kirito thought for a while and explained his situation. Because he had played games in the Internet cafe for a long time, Zhongli could understand what all this 'death game' was all about.

Although there are not many types of games in the Internet cafe, there are also games that must be completed at the highest difficulty without dying to get the final reward. And SAO, which Kirito plays, can be regarded as a game where the reward for passing is survival.

However, if the power in the Internet cafe can be brought out, it would greatly help Kirito.

But he is not suitable for games like Elden Ring.

In Zhongli's opinion, the powerful aspect of this game is the weapons, skills, power and equipment. On the contrary, because there are too many deaths to experience in it, it may affect Kirito's mentality.

As for LOL, although there are many deaths, compared to other RPG games, here it is just an empty health bar, pain is not simulated, death is not a real painful death, and the focus is not on life and death, but teamwork.

"If it is a completely free game, the most important thing is not the items but the skills. But I don't know if the Totem of Undying can work for you."

"What?"

Kirito's expression changed, and Zhongli added: "Yes, many games have a resurrection function. But these games resurrect after death. I can't guarantee that these items will not have problems or on your side, but the principle of the totem in my world is to restore your health at the moment your health bar empties."

"You don't need to rush. The store manager recommends this game to prove that this game can solve your urgent needs. After the urgent needs are solved, you can try to get this item. The two players who are good at this game are Yoshida Saki and Akemi Homura, both of whom are very good people."

Chapter 171 Kirito vs. Faker

After hearing this, Kirito clasped his fists to Zhongli and thanked him.

"It really helped a lot..."

The team had disbanded. Kirito looked at the information on TT. The haze brought by the death game had completely disappeared. According to everyone, TT was a place where people helped each other and exchanged experiences.

With more and more content in the Internet cafe, Liu Yuan would give newcomers a certain degree of guidance, but not too much. Essentially, Liu Yuan hoped that players would explore on their own, but if there were difficulties they couldn't solve, he would also come to help.

But this help was limited for some players. Mutual communication between players had gradually become the mainstream, which Liu Yuan was happy to see.

Kirito joined the TT group according to everyone's instructions, and then joined the small group chat of the store. At the same time, Kirito also noticed that the magical girls on the opposite side was playing games in the same Internet cafe, not far from him, and they greeted each other when the game ended.

"Familiarize yourself with your skills first? But are these really skills?"

The way to release skills in SAO was to put on a specified posture, and the skills were activated naturally. But the more he used the skills set by the system in LOL, the more proficient he felt. He even felt that he could use them while sitting in front of the computer or even lying down.

"If so, can we use these skills when we return to SAO?"

Except for the passive skills, the four skills were very useful for Kirito. Even if these so-called skills were judged as ordinary attacks in SAO, this was enough.

Especially the Cross Slash and Sonic Speed—no, Sonic Impact. Mastering these two skills would be extremely useful for fighting and even for conquering bosses.

However, as he was thinking, he suddenly realized that there was a special weapon in the system that seemed to be a big improvement for him.

Although the game Liu Yuan bought was called League of Legends, the main reason for this name was that the characters and maps used the League, and the main body would use the League in the future.

However, the system would also make a series of customizations according to different players, and even special weapons would appear.

The so-called special weapon meant that the users can change some of their own skills after use.

"Merciful Blade: after purchase, you can master the skill Dog Head Dragon Flash. After use, it will cause a lot of true damage to the enemy, but ordinary attacks cannot kill any unit for a brief time after."

"Ecxclanor: after purchase, you can master the skill Starburst Abandon Treatment Slash, launching a powerful attack on the spot that makes people give up resistance, abandons any form of treatmeant along with the user, but can be attacked."

"Merciful Culling: after purchase, you can master the skill Starburst Dog Head Flash, randomly launching a powerful attack on a target, but it is not fatal."

After reading these skills, Kirito felt uneasy. What were these?

Especially the third one—launch a powerful but non-fatal attack? What's the use of this? Wait—it seems very useful...

If you use in a normal game concept, this skill that can't kill people seems to be just a fancy move, but if you put it in SAO, if you encounter someone you don't want to kill but must stop at all costs, this skill is very useful.

It's just that these three skills are not free. The first one requires defeating 100 players. Bots can also be counted, but it is limited to kills in the lane directly, and kill steals are not counted. But PVP kill steals are counted.

The remaining two skills can be unlocked in a similar way. Starburst Abandon Treatment Slash is a common ultimate move, requires defeating 200 people.

However, the last one is a bit special. You just need to use this skill after using Cross Slash and cause assists. Defeat & Assist 1000.

Although there are many requirements, they are not unattainable. For this goal, Kirito decided to work hard.

Kirito also found his shortcomings. He is not suitable for PVP now, so he plans to practice against the bot.

Just looking at the simple, medium difficulty, and densely packed names, he doesn't know what to choose for his enemy.

At this moment, he remembered the reminder from everyone in the lobby: "If you don't know what to do, you can also ask the network administrator or the boss. Their answers are the best for you who are asking questions."

So he took off his glasses: "Network administrator!"

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chelsea, who had changed her clothes, came over, and Kirito asked: "I want to practice by myself. Do you have any recommendations for the AI here?"

"If it's 1v1, I recommend you choose Faker to face the mid lane."

"What are his characteristics?"

"Characteristics? He deserves to be killed!"

Chelsea gritted her teeth when she said this. Since she started playing this game, Liu Yuan had always arranged Faker as the enemy for her because of Liu Yuan's bad taste and because she liked the character of Zed.

Yasuo, Zed, Veigar, Zeal, Galio, and even mid lane Riven were all used, but only one was killed by her. When other lanes were killed by allies, only her mid lane was killed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yuan beside her added: "The strongest mid-lane, no doubt about it. He is strong in single combat and has a strong sense of rhythm."

The character given by the system is in their most perfect state, and the system perfectly simulates it according to its state. While Chelsea's recommendation is correct, it is too personal and easy to leave a bad impression on customers.

"He is the ceiling of human-simulation interaction. Only by defeating him can you challenge heavy artificial intelligence. If you can even beat artificial intelligence, then you have reached the ceiling in this game 1v1."

"Is it so strong?"

"You can try it."

Kirito listened to the suggestions of Chelsea and Liu Yuan and chose Faker, and it was 1v1.

While preparing himself, the computer also selected a character, the Shadow Lord Zed.

It is very easy for the computer to win in 1v1, either by surrender or being destroyed by the opponent. However, if the player PVPs, the system will limit the win conditions to First Blood, 1 tower, and 100 Minions.

If any one of them is met, it will be considered a win.

Entering the game, Kirito bought equipment according to the system's recommendation. But when he walked to the lane, he felt a sense of oppression, like a prey being targeted by a predator.

When the minions arrived, Kirito, who had played the game once, naturally understood what to do in the middle lane and farmed minions. The opponent looked like a melee character, so he chose to practice the Magic Blade Strike.

For the first game experience, this skill had the highest hit rate. And the sonic impact? Sorry, it's not an impact at all, it's the sonic speed, and Kirito used it as a dash move later.

And Kirito, who had played PVP once and had a PVP rhythm, also felt the oppression from the system at this moment.

From time to time, long-range harassment, the shadow that suddenly came in. But fortunately, Kirito's talent is not bad, and with a certain amount of experience, these skills were manageable.

"One more minion is missing!"

In Kirito's calculation, one more minion could make him level up, and the opponent needed two more.

"Very good!"

Although the Sonic Impact could be dodged, the minion couldn't. He used the Sonic Impact on the low-health minion and used the Cross Slash at the same time. When he leveled up, he aimed at Zed and used the Starburst Stream.

However, Zed just danced without moving.

Kirito was not distracted by this. He directly moved with Cross Slash. However, the moment he flashed to the shadow's side, there was another shadow in front of him. The other party even said something considerate.

"Hi."

At this moment, Kirito's heart stopped. He was ready to use his other phantoms to escape, but the problem was that he flashed at the time his phantoms had just disappeared.

"Your clone makes people feel ridiculous."

Accompanied by his ridicule, Zed instantly turned into a shadow, ready to pounce at Kirito. At this moment, Kirito gave up hope.

He probably understood why the girl gritted her teeth when she said this name just now.

This feeling was even more powerless than facing Madoka.

Chapter 172: Outlast

After returning to his own world, Kirito has been in a state of confusion. One day, he was killed repeatedly, in different ways, mocked throughout the entire day.

"Damn! He's too strong."

Out in the wild, Kirito clenched his fists and recalled every detail of the battle with Faker. The opponent's reaction speed, prediction of his movements, and understanding of the game far exceeded his own.

He was sure he could win, but it would take a long time.

"No, I must adjust my mentality!"

At this time, Kirito realized that he had returned to SAO. There was no major punishment for death in the game at the Internet cafe, but it was different in SAO. In this game, if you die, you really die.

But it was amazing that after returning to SAO, he was not confused by the constant deaths in LOL. On the contrary, compared to before, he felt that he was more cautious.

"So magical..."

At the same time, he felt that his fighting skills in the game had indeed transferred to this game. He randomly found a wild monster to experiment with. He could clearly feel that compared to the past, his reaction speed was faster. At the same time, when facing the opponent's attack, he had more ways to deal with it in his mind instantly, and even the opponent's attack patterns appeared automatically in his mind.

He understood what kind of changes this ability could bring to him in this death game.

The battles in LOL are mainly with humans and humanoids, but Kirito knows that there are also non-human beings in it. He has seen many kinds of terrifying monsters in the hero selection interface. Now he will learn to react when fighting with humans and learn how to target monsters when fighting with them in the future.

Clearing this game is a must.

On the other side, Liu Yuan in the Internet cafe is already waiting for today to pass. When today passes, the discount games in the mall will be refreshed.

In order to improve his luck, Liu Yuan took a bath and changed his clothes. He even took a bath half an hour before midnight and hung up portraits of the First Emperor, Jesus, Satan, Odin, and Zeus in the room.

These portraits are provided by the system. According to it, the effect is very good, and almost all requests are answered. As for the price? The system said that their boss is very strong; even if he dies, these portraits are charged at 5,000 each.

Five portraits cost 25,000 yuan. Although there is a sense of déjà vu, Liu Yuan tried his best to get a good game.

"Everyone on the screen! Bless me with a big explosion of luck!!!"

As this sentence ended, the time on the system skipped to midnight. Liu Yuan opened the game store as soon as he saw the games in the store. His whole expression was emo.

Two games, Outlast and Outlast 2.

The first generation is almost original, but the second generation's memory plot has been changed. Because if a player substituted into their data, the memory plot will be adjusted according to the player's own understanding of fear.

Good guy, he was set up.

What can be said about this game?

In Liu Yuan's judgment, it is playable, but none of the people in his Internet cafe are normal.

Humans who tears up Heroic Spirits every day, Guy who are not happy to load a save file, head of a village of ninjas, the excluded cursed children, and gods, they are all everywhere.

What about Outlast? Although there are some science fiction elements in it, and the content is quite scary, for this group of people who are far superior to ordinary people, this game does not seem to be scary at all.

Horror games have a unified nature. They are scary the first time they are played, but boring the second time. Compared to other games in Internet cafes, the durability is relatively poor, and it cannot hold players' attention for long.

And this game is not scary at all after playing it too much. Horror games are horror games. If they are not scary, they are nothing.

"Ah~ What a pity~ Should I say you are good or not?"

Counting the cost of buying these paintings, 225,000, at least it is not 250 after being divided, which is acceptable.

With a sigh, Liu Yuan bought it directly. After all, this game is also one he has played before, and he has seen many anchors and streamers play it.

"Forget it, it's a classic after all, let's play it and recall my lost youth."

Liu Yuan put on his clothes and packed up the portraits. This time the effect was good, at least it was not a rubbish game, proving that they were still useful.

Unlocking the door, he saw Jibril whistling and walking away from the stairs.

"Hehe..."

Liu Yuan knew what the angel was up to without thinking. Didn't he let her look after the main store during this period of time? Who knows where this wicked angel learned the skills of sneaking in and picking locks.

His door was obviously complicated, but she had pried it open several times and stolen all his clothes.

It's a pity that he didn't catch her in the act every time. It would be easier to punish her if he caught her red-handed. But...

Liu Yuan suddenly had an idea. He asked the system: "System, this survival game is not scary. Can you enhance the horror atmosphere? Can you make any player experience fear from the bottom of their heart?"

System: "No problem! But you have to pay more."

"..."

Liu Yuan was silent. Good guy, is the system waiting for him here?

System: "This involves the player's involvement and protection. If you want to mobilize the emotions of some special players, the price is slightly higher. The price is 500,000. You can use your life first. The host has very good physical fitness and can live to 80."

At this moment, Liu Yuan was even more silent. He asked curiously: "Can you use Jibril's life?"

System: "You can't use people other than the host."

"System, have you ever thought about one thing? One day of life is equal to 10. 500,000, which is almost more than a hundred years of my life? What else do I have to do after you deduct it?"

System: "It doesn't matter, you owe it first."

"So I owe you more than a hundred years of life without even looking at anything or even agreeing. You are exploiting me!"

"It doesn't matter. The host's ability to make money is obvious to all. Come on!"

One person and one system, while chatting, came to the hall.

At present, four people were playing different games. Liu Yuan came over and clapped his hands: "Everyone, a new game has been launched. Do you want to try it?"

"What? A new game?"

Kisara's eyes lit up. She immediately saved the game and closed it. She opened the desktop and found this game called Outlast.

For some reason, when she saw this game, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

She stood up, stuck to Liu Yuan, and looked at him with seductive eyes: "Boss, I haven't played this game before. Can you teach me?"

Liu Yuan said happily: "No problem, in fact, this is a casual hide-and-seek game. Let me give you a simple demonstration."

Liu Yuan turned on the computer and entered the game, and the people around him gathered around to watch.

The content of the game is very simple. It is nothing more than the protagonist Miles bringing a DV to communicate with the patients in the mental hospital in a friendly manner in order to expose the hidden secrets of the Mental Hospital.

After the system change, the protagonist of the game is directly replaced by the player himself. And when entering the game, you will know the cause and effect of everything, expose the hidden secrets inside, and leave without being discovered.

Chapter 173: System Enhanced Version, Anyone Who Plays Will Know

The game operation is also very simple. It involves avoiding the pursuit of the mentally ill, hiding under the bed for a while, and hiding in the cabinet for a while. When the DV is running out of power, you use the batteries you find to recharge it, ensuring you have power while playing hide-and-seek with the mentally ill and looking for the truth about the mental hospital, recording the clues.

Throughout the whole game, Liu Yuan's face remained calm, and he was not out of breath. He could even chat and laugh while playing.

"Did you see it? In fact, it is a hide-and-seek game with a gloomy environment. The downside is that if you are found, you will die. So, you must control your emotions in the game. These mentally ill people have no logic at all, so you have to rely on your luck to hide."

The revised game by the system does not guarantee finding a hiding spot where no one is present initially. The NPC will search according to the situation in the room. If the breathing sound is too loud or there are extra movements, you will be found directly.

Even if you are unlucky and bump into the NPC's brain circuit, it's also GG directly.

Look, Liu Yuan was unlucky when he was showing off and was found twice. Although the NPCs in it are a bit scary, there were no ordinary people present, and the game felt somewhat lacking in quality.

"It seems meaningless?"

"Exactly, it's not as much fun as Resident Evil."

"Isn't it a bit fake that you can't fight back?"

"Hey? This looks a bit scary..."

As the most normal person among all, Takashima Yuuna actually felt terrified when she saw the game.

Liu Yuan also felt he was almost done and calmly took off his glasses.

"Look, it's just a simple hide-and-seek game. The name of the game is when you hide successfully, and you can try it again when you lose. You can also experience it yourself, so you can introduce it to customers when you open a store."

"Okay!"

Although it didn't look fun, since the boss had spoken, the employees under him had to play it themselves and make recommendations based on the game content. However, before playing, Kisara subconsciously asked, "What is the reward for this game?"

"It seems that if you clear all levels, you will get a set of nano-molecule groups. It sounds like technology, but it can attack the undead and can greatly restore injuries. It's similar to a mold virus, but weaker. But the advantage of this game is that anyone can play it, even if they don't have any combat talent."

Kisara thought seriously: "Indeed, like Resident Evil, it is also difficult to get into. This game seems to have no difficulty at all. After playing this and then playing Resident Evil, it feels very suitable to introduce to newcomers."

Kisara rarely considers things from the perspective of the Internet cafe's interests. This scene makes Liu Yuan feel a little bit proud.

"But seeing that the boss is too bad at playing this game, let me teach the boss how to play Outlast!"

Liu Yuan in the game looked a little flustered, and even in Kisara's eyes, he seemed panicked. In her opinion, this must be because Liu Yuan is not good at playing this kind of hide-and-seek game and doesn't know where to hide.

What about me? A devil! What is the devil best at?

Of course, she dodged in various ways. Today, she will teach Liu Yuan how to play this game.

This sentence completely wiped out the kindness in Liu Yuan's heart. He smiled and said, "Okay! It's just right for me to learn from you. By the way, this game process is not long. It can be completed in five hours at most. You can complete it to understand the game process so that I can introduce it to everyone tomorrow."

"Okay~"

"Since you are so energetic, I will go to bed~ Good night~"

"Hahaha, the boss is so weak, go to bed."

Jibril felt that she shouldn't be able to steal clothes today, so she verbally mocked him.

"Yes, I'm going to bed."

After saying that, Liu Yuan walked back to the room.

Kisara complained: "The boss is really not good enough. He can't even finish this new game."

Chelsea said vigilantly: "I feel that something is wrong in this game. Is it particularly scary? Otherwise, I won't play it."

Jibril replied disdainfully: "Humans are weak. How can you recommend this game to others if you don't play it?"

"Okay, I'll play it."

Chelsea made up her mind. It's just a game. Can it eat her? Liu Yuan also made a few mistakes when he was playing just now, but he was fine, wasn't he?

In the room, Liu Yuan didn't lock the door this time. Instead, he took out a bench and sat at the door to listen to the sounds downstairs.

"Fuck! It's really scary. System, you are awesome!"

That's right! Liu Yuan came back because he was scared while playing the game. Just playing games and watching videos on the computer is indeed hide-and-seek.

But after entering the game, it's completely different. The smell of blood and the terrifying sounds in the air, as well as the opponent's hunting of you. This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that his body is very weak in the game, and he has to gasp for breath after running a few steps.

This is still nothing. What is more terrifying is that this game is completely immersive. Whether it is emotions or understanding of the world, it is completely immersive.

In Outlast, he really becomes an ordinary person who has no resistance and can only hide in a mental hospital to survive. The system even blurs and makes people forget they are just playing the game outside after entering the game.

Liu Yuan is the boss after all. When he entered the game, he asked the system to weaken this sense of fear, so that he would not embarrass himself during the demo.

But...

"It's almost time, three! Two! One!"

As the countdown ended, shouts, crying, cries for help, and stubborn voices came from below.

Liu Yuan silently took out a box of instant noodles from the cabinet and ate while enjoying the sounds below.

"Hiss~Ha~"

At this moment, Liu Yuan felt that all his patience just now was worth it. He didn't expect the system to be so powerful. The weakened version he played was scary enough. If it wasn't for the system to keep the connection between his body and consciousness, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control the changes in his real body, and the four would notice his condition.

He was already like this, not to mention the four network administrators below.

"System, what Depth Level is this sense of substitution for?"

The system was silent for a long time and replied: "Absolute, or the same level as The Law of Cycle being invalid. Some players may not have such obvious fear because of their incomplete souls or too strong hearts."

"But you still feel fear, right? That's enough. Come, let me write a review."

Listening to the voices of fear below, Liu Yuan silently closed the door and locked it, then opened TT and wrote a recommendation on the forum.

"Outlast is a real-life hide-and-seek game, where you can gain courage, confidence, and lost feelings. After passing the level, you can experience the unwillingness and desire of mortals. Because the plot is short and the difficulty of passing the level is low, this game is 50% off! Don't miss it if you pass by, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

As Liu Yuan issued the recommendation, he heard the scolding and crying at the door, and he was laughing happily inside.

The door is systematic and very solid. And he changed the new lock core and locked it. He didn't believe anyone could come in.

However, at this moment, he heard the sound of prying the door and the sound of the door being opened.

After the door opened, through the dark corridor, he saw four pairs of blood-red eyes and questions like hell.

"Boss, do you want to die once?"

Chapter 174: Natsuki Subaru's Outlast Game

On the second day of opening, Natsuki Subaru saw the boss and Ms. Kisara, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey! Boss, you're finally back? Hey? What happened to you?"

At this time, Liu Yuan's face had dark circles that looked like panda eyes, exaggerated by makeup. Looking at Kisara and Jibril beside him, Subaru instantly understood something.

"Did you lose the game?"

"You guessed it right! By the way, Subaru, our store has launched a new game and it’s on sale. Do you want to play it?"

"Ah?"

When he heard about the new game, Natsuki Subaru got excited.

"What game?"

"Outlast!"

"???"

Natsuki Subaru, being a time traveler, was familiar with many games from Earth. "Outlast" was naturally a game he had heard of, known for its horror elements.

Seeing Natsuki Subaru's reaction, Liu Yuan slowly introduced it: "This is a horror game, but the nanomolecule group given at the end is very interesting. Don’t worry, this Internet cafe provides absolutely high-quality products."

"Then I'll give it a try."

If it had been the old Natsuki Subaru, he would have refused without a second thought. A horror game? One that is extremely scary? He wasn't a player who enjoyed self-torture and would never abuse his strong nerves.

But after playing so many games, even those with a strong horror atmosphere like Resident Evil 7 and 8, he felt a bit overconfident and was eager to challenge this legendary horror game.

He logged in, but before doing so, he also saw Liu Yuan's new game introduction on the TT forum.

"Something’s wrong! Very wrong!"

While Natsuki Subaru was complaining in a low voice, Nyaruko, who was sitting next to him, muttered, "What's wrong? Isn’t it just that the boss is back? Didn’t the boss say before that he would open a branch and bring in new people? Obviously, the new store is successful, so he’s back."

"That’s not it."

Natsuki Subaru looked at the introduction of Outlast on the TT forum and suddenly thought of something. Then he asked knowingly, "Are you going to try the new game launched by the boss?"

"Of course! Half price, and the introduction says it’s a game like hide-and-seek. The boss just said that the NPCs in this game are very enthusiastic, taking me to eat, drink, and play, and in the end, a group of people welcomes me after I pass the game. Just for this friendly attitude, I must pass the game."

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru was silent. If he remembered correctly, it was a horror game, known for its intense fear factor. And Liu Yuan was recommending the game like this, making him suddenly feel uneasy.

In addition to Liu Yuan's previous comments, he felt that the horror level of this game needed more attention.

But it wasn’t a big problem. Horror games were mostly about background music and sudden jump scares. With a mental warning, he felt that it couldn't scare him. However, he did not tell Nyaruko about this because he was looking forward to seeing Nyaruko scream.

After chatting for a few more words, he opened the game and entered the game world.

"I am a reporter. I came here to investigate the truth based on the information of an informant..."

With a weak body and excited emotions, Natsuki Subaru strode into the mental hospital. He felt that his current state was very strange, and his perception of the outside world was very weak. He could only vaguely perceive his body.

It even felt like he was a person in this world, and the purpose of coming to this mental hospital was to investigate the truth, not play games.

This feeling became more and more pronounced as he got off the car and walked into the mental hospital.

At the same time, his memory of the outside world became weaker and weaker. If he tried to recall, he would remember that he was playing a game. But as he went deeper, this memory gradually faded.

From the moment the game started, his only focus was on investigating the truth and escaping.

"Damn! What is this!"

In the mental hospital, Natsuki Subaru’s panting was unusually loud due to fear and physical fatigue, especially in this dark room. He wished he could stop panting.

Because there was a mental patient looking for him. This mental patient had no skin on his body, and he looked weak but was very powerful. When he first encountered him, Natsuki Subaru completely forgot that he had the option to fight. He only remembered one thing: Escape!

He thought he couldn’t defeat the other party, and he had no choice but to run. This was indeed the case. The first time he was forced into a desperate situation, he fought back, but the other party’s body was as hard as a machine, and his huge body was more flexible than a monkey.

He could see his movement trajectory clearly and even predict his attacks, but his body was just that of an ordinary reporter with ordinary training. Rolling? He was stopped by the other party’s weapon as soon as he rolled. How could he have a chance to roll?

After the failed counterattack, he completely gave up the idea of fighting and just wanted to escape.

He broke into an empty room, locked the door, and saw a locked cabinet on the side. Without thinking, he entered the middle cabinet and tried to adjust his breathing.

In the empty room, his breathing was so obvious, and outside, the mental patient was banging on the door frantically. With continuous banging, the door was knocked open.

Due to mental reasons, the patient only knew that Natsuki Subaru had entered the room and was likely hiding there. He looked under the bed and opened a few cabinets randomly. After finding nothing, his inflexible brain thought Natsuki Subaru had run away.

As to how he could escape from a closed room, this was not a question a mental patient like him could ponder. He decided to look for Natsuki Subaru outside.

Feeling the patient leaving, Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief. This breath was a bit loud because he had been holding it for a long time, but in the empty room, the sound was so obvious.

When Natsuki Subaru realized something was wrong, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes through the cabinet gap. These eyes were full of chaotic desires, and at the same time, he saw a sentence in these terrifying eyes.

"I found you."

"Ah!!"

Natsuki Subaru left the game. At this moment, he felt his heartbeat accelerating, and his entire spine was cold.

"Subaru? What’s wrong?"

On the other side, Emilia looked at Natsuki Subaru, who was sweating all over and had taken off his glasses, feeling confused. After so long, this was the first time she saw someone so scared while playing games, as if he was found by some terrifying existence and was about to die.

"I..."

Natsuki Subaru felt his heart racing, and as he calmed down, his fear slowly subsided.

"Really... it’s so exciting!"

"Huh?"

Subaru Natsuki explained: "It’s a new game, a very scary horror game, very good."

"Then I’ll try it too."

"Don’t do that!"

Subaru Natsuki used sweet words to dissuade Emilia, saying the game was not suitable for novices, not fun and bloody, and would not improve any of their skills. The final rewards were not very good.

Through a series of words, he stopped Emilia from wanting to try the game.

He himself said he had spent all his money and it would be inappropriate not to pass the level, so he was ready to continue playing.

But just when he was about to put on his glasses, Nyaruko on the other side took off her glasses with a squeak.

"Oh my god! I’m so scared, so scared, why is there such a scary game in this world? It’s really... so fun!"

Chapter 175: Recommended Outlast

Nyaruko is a typical person who is addicted to being a badass. Although she can clear all kinds of games, she does so by stumbling around randomly and barely making it through. Despite her skills, she has her strengths and weaknesses, particularly her physical fitness, which is quite outrageous. After entering the game, she cannot showcase her abilities perfectly and can only use the game characters provided.

For example, Leon and Claire in Resident Evil 2, usually remain uninjured except for the injuries shown in the game plot. But Nyaruko manages to swim between the lines of life and death, from the beginning to the end.

This time, after playing Outlast, Nyaruko felt a deep-seated fear, similar to what Natsuki Subaru experienced. She felt like an ordinary human woman.

Nyaruko, this identity and the Space Defense Agency, they were all subconsciously ignored.

However, her game journey was even more stumbling than that of Natsuki Subaru, hiding under the bed. She did not relax at the last moment like Natsuki Subaru but she was very unfortunate.

The first place the other party looked was under the bed. She did nothing and saw a pair of big blood-red eyes staring at her in the dark. Finally, under the mentally ill character’s 'kind' invitation, she experienced unprecedented fear for the first time, and her game character also died successfully.

Because of her accelerated heartbeat due to fear, she was very happy and wanted to continue playing this game.

How she could describe it? The horror experience is really terrifying, and the excitement is truly thrilling. Although she can't resist opponents, she enjoys this game of hide-and-seek thrill. The sense of relief and pleasure that she can successfully avoid the enemy makes her like it.

"The feeling in this game is too real, so real that I forgot myself and thought I was just an ordinary person."

Natsuki Subaru nodded: "Yes, and this fear, I feel it is more terrifying than death..."

Natsuki Subaru has died many times and experienced various ways of dying personally. But how to describe it? Death is nothing but pain, and he gradually lost his fear of death after dying so many times.

Additionally, as he became stronger, he died less frequently and fought hard not to fall. But this kind of fear was something he had never experienced when he first transmigrated.

At first, he was only afraid of death, but the feeling of being suddenly discovered in the darkness in the game was something he could never experience in reality.

Although his body outside the game would move subconsciously and even make terrible screams, thanks to the soundproofing function of the Internet café equipment, other people could only see through the screen that they seemed to have experienced something terrifying, but they still had no detailed experience of how terrifying it was and how embarrassing it was.

"Try it again! Try it again!"

Subaru Natsuki entered the game again. He felt that with the experience of failing the first time, it should be no problem to try again. However, after entering the game, he only remembered to hold his breath and could only relax after his opponents left completely and walked far away. He completely forgot the rest.

The dark environment, coupled with the irresistible enemy, made the fear of escaping and being discovered always accompanied him.

While he and Nyaruko were experiencing the joy of survival, Zhongli, who had experienced his first death, also sat in a chair with a serious face, looking at the notification of the character's death on the screen.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Ganyu, who was working nearby, felt the doubts of the people next to her, stopped her work, and turned to look over.

"Nothing, you can try this game."

"Since it was recommended by Mr. Zhongli, I will try it after work."

Zhongli nodded, and at the same time recalled the experience in the game. It was very magical, even someone like him who had experienced many ups and downs actually felt fear that he had not felt for a long time.

Yes, he could clearly feel the various reactions of his body due to fear. Additionally, he also found something that he cared about very much.

The erosion were being reduced, and this erosion from Teyvat was being reduced in the atmosphere of fear in this game.

"This game is different from the other games. It has, other benefits. This power can repair... the soul?"

Previous games only gave various powers and props. These things were just toys for Zhongli, but now they can reduce erosion and repair the soul, which made him care about it.

"Boss."

"Come on~ What's wrong?"

"Is this game special compared to other games?"

Hearing this question, Liu Yuan nodded with heartache: "It's very special! In order to enhance your gaming experience, a lot of things have been added. But don't worry, our games are absolutely harmless and will even have a positive impact on your physical and mental health."

"Really? That's good. The fear brought by the pursuit, the relief brought by surviving, using the power of emotions to make my old soul radiate vitality, it's really good!"

Zhongli took a deep breath. He really didn't expect this way to fight erosion.

He had played the Internet café games before. After playing, he clearly felt that the speed of erosion was greatly reduced, reduced to the point that he could maintain its status quo for another thousand years.

But now, he could be sure that the erosion was decreasing more and his soul was recovering. This power, which even the gods of Celestia have never mastered, appears in this small game.

Considering the soothing nature of this game, Zhongli replied to the game review posted by Liu Yuan on TT.

"This game is of great help to the body and mind. I personally recommend that everyone try this game more."

At the same time, it was the first time he had the idea of bringing other people into the cafe. The first person he thought of was Barbatos from Mondstadt, also known as Venti.

"He is also seriously eroded. Let's bring him in and try it. But he is mentally lost, so I don't know if he can be brought in."

He said he would merely only try, but in fact, he was actually looking forward to Barbatos' performance. He is the most active, emotionally rich, and jumpy of the seven archons. He is looking forward to how Venti will perform after playing this game.

Look, these days, Zhongli has even learned a very interesting way of threatening under the influence of many players and Liu Yuan in the Internet café.

He is going to try to see if he can scare some of Barbatos' inventory out in this way. He misses Mondstadt's dandelion wine very much.

Zhongli, as an old player in the Internet café and a very reliable player, is greatly respected. When Liu Yuan recommended this game, many people were only interested, but when they learned that the rewards for clearing the game were not very good and it was just a simple hide-and-seek game, they were not particularly interested.

But after seeing Zhongli’s top reply on TT and Natsuki Subaru and Nyaruko saying: "It's really fun and exciting," more people were ready to try this game.

That day, everyone in the Internet café felt the fear from the depths of their souls.

Chapter 176: Yotsuya Miko and Outlast

"Old man, what brings you here?"

When the wind started, Venti looked at his old acquaintance Morax, or rather Zhongli, with some worry.

"Something about erosion."

"What?"

The playful expression on Venti's face completely disappeared, and he looked at Zhongli solemnly.

"There is still one hour left. I will take you to a place when the time comes. Do you have Mora? Or something valuable?"

"No!"

Are you kidding? The wind god Barbatos has Mora? That's as impossible as Morax knowing the value of Mora. What's more, even if he had Mora, he would spend it all.

"But how did you find a solution?"

Zhongli did not answer but silently waited for the Internet café to open again.

"Hey? Where is this? Is it another world? Won't that guy find us abnormal?"

Venti no longer had the mentality of playing around arrived at the mysterious space in an instant. He couldn't even sense the existence of Teyvat, and even the elemental power couldn't be used here.

"She woke up and knew that this place existed. The power here will not bring disaster to the World Tree."

"What?"

After all, he has lived for thousands of years, so his mood quickly returned to normal.

"Quick! Let me try and see what can help us repair ourselves."

Venti couldn't wait, but now there was a problem. Zhongli was a guest of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and could make it foot the bill.

But Venti had nothing.

Barbatos, the Wind Archon of Mondstadt? But the problem was that as an archon, he couldn't send the bill to Mondstadt.

"Hey~ Boss~ Can I do credit?"

Liu Yuan looked at the newcomer brought by Zhongli and smiled: "Hey, no~"

"Woo woo woo! What should I do!!"

"I'll give you a suggestion. You can borrow money from her."

Liu Yuan pointed to Ganyu, who was about to start a new day of work. Ganyu, who was about to pay, turned to Zhongli after hearing this. Zhongli nodded: "Miss Ganyu, I can guarantee for Venti. The Mora he owes will be returned within a few days."

"Okay."

Ganyu didn't say much and directly "invited" Venti to go online.

However, looking at Ganyu's appearance, Venti remembered something but just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing another new customer brought in by the old man, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! That's great. When the new store can be so efficient in attracting customers, I can complete the task of earning 200,000 a day, right?"

With a daily income of 200,000, you have the authority to open a private room. Although it is more than double the price to go Online, Liu Yuan believes that there must be rich people willing to pay more.

Just when he was fantasizing about a better future, a new person came to the door of the store.

"Welcome!"

With this welcome, Yotsuya Miko almost cried.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her excitement was directly reflected in her body.

Kisara, who was standing by, noticed the abnormality immediately. She took out a tissue and came to the girl.

"Don't be afraid, it's safe here, and the bad guys have been driven away."

"Yeah."

With Kisara's comfort, Yotsuya Miko's state gradually calmed down. At this time, she asked nervously: "Excuse me, where is this?"

"Here! It's hell, I'm a devil!"

"Ah?"

Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment.

Did she die because she didn't control her expression in the end? Did she die?

Just at this moment, Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and hit Kisara's head hard: "Don't bully her, this is 4-D space Internet café, a place where you can gain power and knowledge by paying to go online."

"Power?"

Yotsuya Miko swallowed her saliva: "Excuse me, can I exorcise ghosts here?"

"Exorcism? Sure. I have a big exorcism package here! Do you need it?"

"Yes! Yes!"

"But the price is a little expensive! Please see here."

Seeing the price of Internet access on the screen, Yotsuya Miko's expression froze. The game plus the cost of one day's Internet access would start at 20,000 yen. She does have some savings, but they seem to be only enough for her to go online for two days.

"Are you worried about money, girl?"

"Hmm..."

Yotsuya Miko nodded. She didn't dare to take out so much money casually. After all, you can fool around by pretending not to see ghosts, but if you lose the money, you may not even be able to survive.

"For such a girl, we have a special business here. You can also morgage lifespan. Of course, the lifespan can be redeemed with money before your life is exhausted without any interest or cost. Since there are ghosts in your world, after learning and gaining abilities in our store, you can earn enough money to go online by exorcising ghosts, right?"

Hearing this suggestion, she felt that Liu Yuan was right.

"Then I'll try it? Excuse me, do you have any recommendations?"

"Of course! This game is just right for you now."

Liu Yuan recommended none other than the DLC Rose Phantom of Resident Evil VIII. This game is very magical. Although it is said to be a dream experience, according to Liu Yuan's understanding, the ability to use the fungus virus obtained after clearing the level can harm the spirit.

The system even said that evil spirits like Sadako and Kayako are all fine, but it's a little troublesome.

However, Liu Yuan soon discovered a problem. Rose Phantom, although it was not a particularly scary existence at the beginning, Yotsuya Miko, who was playing the game for the first time, was afraid and didn't dare to move.

"Boss, can we change the game?"

Yotsuya Miko looked at the dark cage, the strange black liquid, and the monster that looked exactly like her, her body shaking.

Liu Yuan held his forehead. He had forgotten that when ordinary people encounter monsters, they don't even have the desire to fight. How can they integrate into it? Yoshida Saki and Akemi Homura went with Minecraft, then Terraria, but they are not in a hurry to gain power and can slowly clear games.

But Yotsuya Miko is different. Judging from her condition, she should not have time to slowly pass the level. At the same time, she herself is also very special. Ordinary people with Spirit Eyes are a good thing for exorcists, but for ordinary people, this is a cursed life.

Why did he recommend this DLC? Because it's short! It's so short that even if you don't have any experience, as long as you dare to move forward and follow the guidance of 'Ethan,' you can pass the level in six hours.

But the problem is that the girl in front of him can't even take the first step, which is a little difficult.

Wait! Diifficult!

Liu Yuan remembered there is Outlast! After Outlast is strengthened by the system, any player who enters the game will be dominated by fear and learn to run away.

"You really need to change a game. You need to exercise your courage a little bit. Do you know what is the most terrifying thing in the world?"

"Ghost?"

"No! It's a person. Come on! Outlast welcomes you."

"..."

Yotsuya Miko instinctively felt that something was wrong, but her hand was grabbed by Liu Yuan, and the mouse quickly clicked on the game Outlast.

Chapter 177: When Guns Are Effective in the Supernatural World

The moment she opened the game, Yotsuya Miko entered the game.

"I am... a reporter?"

Yotsuya Miko looked around in confusion in the car, then saw the plot CG. She had received a tip from an informant about a place that was supposed to be a mental hospital but was actually conducting human experiments.

All she had to do was to sneak in, record video evidence, and expose it.

"I'm going to do it!"

Yotsuya Miko has strong tolerance. After all, she has seen too many ghosts and can walk away expressionless. But at the same time, she is very fragile. After arriving at a safe place, she dared not even move when she saw terrifying things.

But it's not a big problem. The enhanced version of Outlast can not only make the mentality of a strong person become that of an ordinary person, but also make Yotsuya Miko reach the action level of the protagonist of a game.

When she entered the mental hospital and faced the unrecognizable human beings, Yotsuya Miko rarely had the feeling of: "It's still a human! That's not scary." It can even be said that during the pursuit, she did not panic at all. She hid in cabinets and under the bed. She chose the cabinet first and hid inside.

Seeing her enter the game and master it, Liu Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Boss, your smile is a little perverted."

"I've been perverted for a long time."

"As expected of the boss, you can easily say such perverted remarks."

While the two chatted, Yotsuya Miko also experienced the horror brought by humans.

Compared with ordinary horror games, the horror level of "Outlast" is definitely famous in the history of games. The most terrifying part of this game is not the messy ghost settings, but the fact that the enemy can't be resisted and you can only run from it.

Add to that the dark environment, the sound of your own fearful breathing, and the pursuer who broke through the door like Johnny.

This terrifying atmosphere can be experienced by all players immediately, and this system-enhanced version of Outlast can also allow those who have a lot of experience for substituting the protagonist and stimulate the emotion of fear. For those who have not experienced fear for a long time, this game is like a dessert, which makes people addicted.

Yotsuya Miko was in this state, entering the game and starting to escape. But it was strange that when she knew that these guys were just armed people, Yotsuya Miko was terrified at the beginning, but then she hid in the closet in the room with a blank expression.

Most people would be discovered because of their loud breathing or being too relaxed when they hid for the first time, but Yotsuya Miko seemed to have blocked her emotions, hiding in the closet, under the bed, and in the box and watching the other party leave silently.

The strength of "Outlast" is that it allows players to ignore themselves in the outside world and experience fear in the game.

However, Yotsuya Miko's situation is a bit special. When playing Resident Evil, because she knew it was a game, she even felt that she was safe, and her emotions were released a bit too much. In this state, Liu Yuan forced her to play, and she would definitely cry while playing.

But this is not the effect Liu Yuan wants. In this Internet café, playing games can be scary, but the owner must not force her.

In "Outlast," players will be completely immersed by the set role, and they can only play by themselves even if they are scared.

But in general, it's okay. As long as you get used to the fear at the beginning of the game, you will slowly get used to it later. Yotsuya Miko was like this. At the beginning, her heart was beating wildly with nervousness, and she even couldn't control her desire to go to the bathroom. As time went by, she became calmer and calmer.

The plot was not long. A complete newcomer like Yotsuya Miko successfully passed it in five and a half hours. At the last moment, when she opened the door and was shot by the fully armed mercenaries, Yotsuya Miko calmly took off her glasses.

As she took off her glasses, Liu Yuan came to her side: "How do you feel?"

"It feels... very scary, very scary. Boss, where is the bathroom?"

"Over there."

"Thank you..."

Yotsuya Miko walked towards the bathroom with a blank expression, and Venti on the other side also took off his glasses at this moment: "I'm scared to death! Why is it so scary! Is this a game? Old man! Is this the method you said?"

Venti showed an exaggerated expression on his face. This was the first time he felt such fear since he became the Wind Archon.

Zhongli looked at Venti: "You are not even as good as that girl."

Hearing her old friend's teasing, Venti couldn't help but complain: "Then you try it."

"Me? I have already cleared the game. Come on."

Zhongli opened his game. The big words "Cleared" on the game made Venti a little stimulated.

"No! I will continue!" Venti continued.

At this time, Venti in the game interface was screaming and running around in the game.

What? Dodge by being agile? Sorry, in the second game maybe, but in the first game, you can't.

It's such a big corridor. If someone pushes there, there is no space to get through.

On the other side, Yotsuya Miko also came back. She sat on the stool blankly, recalling the more than five hours of Outlast. It was terrifying experience, but now when she recalls it, she feels that it's okay?

"How does it feel?"

"It's amazing. I don't think it's that scary now. I just feel a little bit unwilling in the ending."

This is the feeling of all those who have played the game. They could have escaped at the last moment, but the escape route was blocked and they died. Although the nanomolecule group was released in the end, the unwillingness continued with the player's exit.

"Do you feel that you can play that game now?"

"I feel like it should be possible, right?"

Yotsuya Miko's tone was a little uncertain.

She opened the DLC of Resident Evil 8 and entered the game again. The game experience is different from the escape, the initial cage, black liquid, monsters that look exactly like herself, and her own clone.

Although her heartbeat was accelerating, her experience in Outlast allowed her to stabilize her emotions: "Just like before, just keep escaping. I'm a professional."

Although there are no beds or cabinets here, the space here is relatively large, and there are no real dead ends. And as the game progresses, she can also get support from 'Michael,' a small pistol and a few bullets.

For some reason, the moment she got the gun, Yotsuya Miko went from fear to confusion.

"Excuse me, is this good for dealing with monsters and demons?"

Liu Yuan took a look at Yotsuya Miko's progress and explained: "General firearms won't work, but this one will definitely work, because this gun is not a physical gun. It can be used."

"Is that so?"

It was amazing. With a small pistol and two rounds of bullets, Yotsuya Miko's fear completely disappeared at this moment. Now thinking back to what she had just experienced, if she had been bolder at the beginning and ran through the opening, she wouldn't be playing"Outlast" earlier right?

Then she shook her head. "Outlast" not only allowed her to face enemy pursuit calmly but also taught her how to navigate in a dark environment.

Without these, she might not have been able to survive Resident Evil.

Unfortunately, she did not completely complete the game before the Internet café closed. She did not even find all the masks, but she did get two things, a pistol and the ability to control Rose mold.

On the surface, these two things seemed useless against ghosts, but when Yotsuya Miko returned home and used a pistol to shoot the ghost in the quilt four times without causing any damage to the furniture, she was stunned.

Chapter 178: Sorry, Times Have Changed**

Yotsuya Miko, an ordinary high school girl, lives with her mother and younger brother, while her father died in an accident.

One day, she suddenly began seeing various monsters in the world. From that day on, she lived in fear every day until today.

"Isn't this a dream?"

Yotsuya Miko touched the pistol in her hand. She still remembered the content of the Resident Evil DLC game. Although she didn't finish it, the golden symbols along the way helped her a lot. She killed many enemies with this pistol.

Under the guidance of this golden font, she mastered a special power that could make the monster's body pause or even disappear.

Back in reality, she thought it was all a dream, all fake. But when she saw the ghost in the quilt and almost instinctively took out the pistol and shot, she realized that it was all real.

"Sister? What's wrong? Why do I hear strange noises?"

"There were bugs, but I killed them."

"Okay."

When she heard no sound outside, Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief. But when she saw the indescribable monster on the ceiling again, her fear disappeared.

"Sorry, times have changed."

She took out her gun and fired several shots, but no bullets came out.

"???"

It was then that she noticed she only had four bullets left in the game, and she had used them all up just now.

"You saw me, you saw me!"

The vengeful spirit flew towards Yotsuya Miko excitedly, thinking it could have a full meal. Just when it thought it had her, Yotsuya Miko suddenly raised her hand, and white lines appeared on her body, with white light on her hand.

In the DLC of Resident Evil 8, Rose's special power could destroy consciousness in the consciousness world, and in reality, it had a miraculous effect on these monsters. The vengeful spirits in Yotsuya Miko's home were not strong, and the power she just mastered could destroy the one on the roof.

"So tired..."

Using this power in real life felt exhausting. "So hungry..."

Even in the game, you needed to eat herbs to use this power. In reality, there were no herbs, and it was completely replaced by the user's physical strength.

At the dining table, Yotsuya Miko's brother and mother were stunned to see her eating so much.

"Sister? Are you heartbroken?"

"Huh?"

Yotsuya Miko was stunned: "Heartbroken? I'm not in a relationship."

"Then why are you eating so much?"

"I'm just very hungry... ahem, I just want to eat more. Oh, it's getting late, I need to go to school."

Yotsuya Miko hurriedly changed the subject and went to school in a rush after eating a large piece of bread.

The gun had no bullets, and her ability required a lot of physical strength, which prevented Yotsuya Miko from using her power recklessly. Even if the gun had bullets, she wouldn't dare use it openly on the street. She didn't know if the ghosts would be destroyed, but she would definitely get into trouble.

"Very good!"

Yotsuya Miko patted her face. She originally felt that the future was full of despair, but now she felt that the future was full of hope. She even looked at the ghosts beside her, and they seemed cute.

The ghost with eight heads beside her looked at Yotsuya Miko in confusion. It wanted to ask: "Can you see me?"

But would anyone smile so happily when seeing a ghost?

Ghosts also choose their targets—the weak, the timid, the resentful, and people created by other ghosts. But they dare not provoke those who look happy and even want to hold hands with ghosts.

After all, there are many special beings in this world, and you can't provoke them confidently!

It takes only one day to deal with these ghosts. This made Yotsuya Miko consider whether to continue going to the Internet café. The consumption level of this Internet café was too high for her.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of her heart. She wanted to turn her head to see what happened, but her body stopped her. She walked forward as she did before, and when she reached the traffic light, she saw an unforgettable scene.

A huge black ghost, walking on four limbs, moved slowly on the street. Every time it moved, it devoured the weak ghosts around it that seemed to have just been born, while stronger ghosts fled in all directions.

This was a terrifying existence she had never seen before. At this moment, she finally understood why she sometimes encountered very clean situations after gaining the ability to see spirits.

It wasn't that the surroundings were clean, but that there were things around so terrifying that her Eyes couldn't see them. Now she had the ability to deal with little ghosts, but this big guy...

Yotsuya Miko swallowed nervously. She didn't dare to look at this big guy at all. She just waited for the traffic light silently. When the light turned green, she followed other pedestrians and walked across the road expressionlessly, completely ignoring the ghost.

No, Yotsuya Miko felt that this ghost was more terrifying than any she had ever encountered.

"Huh..."

After making sure she was safe, Yotsuya Miko relaxed.

"No! This won't work. I still need to go to the Internet café. I need money, lots and lots of money..."

Yotsuya Miko was sure of one thing. She did have the ability to deal with these evil spirits, but the ones she met were even more terrifying. If she wanted to survive, she had to gain more power at the Internet café. Gaining power required money, but where would she get the money?

She remembered Liu Yuan's suggestion to exorcise ghosts for money. If there were demons and ghosts, getting rid of spirits would indeed be very profitable, but her gun had run out of bullets.

At this time, she noticed the items in the player mall. She curiously opened the mall and saw the bullets she had been thinking about.

The bullets made and sold by Schwi were the most traded items in the player mall after grain. One pound of rice and flour could be exchanged for three shuttles, and it could be traded by barter or money. She needed to see if it was appropriate to exchange with grain or buy directly with money.

Now Yotsuya Miko was very poor. Not to mention going online tomorrow, she might not even be able to buy lunch. When buying bullets, she had to compare prices and find the cheapest way.

According to Yotsuya Miko, her weapons did not need special bullets. As long as any bullets could be loaded, they would cause damage to the spirits when fired. However, the system also specifically marked that if ordinary bullets were used and missed the spirits but hit people, they would cause the same damage to people.

This forced Yotsuya Miko to be cautious in using firearms. Yotsuya Miko was still a rookie. Unless she was alone in a closed environment, she couldn't use firearms well.

However...

Yotsuya Miko looked at the time. There was still more than half an hour before class. She remembered there was a convenience store on the way to school. Convenience stores should have food, right?

She slapped her face. These ghosts were very scary, but as long as there was firepower...

"Can you see me?"

The sudden appearance of the human-like ghost startled Yotsuya Miko. Her brain was a little out of order. She didn't know whether to exorcise the ghost on the street or pretend not to see it.

However, at that moment, a white-haired man with a blindfold suddenly appeared in front of her.

"You can see it, right?"

"!!!"

Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to answer. She didn't know whether the person in front of her was a human or a ghost. But soon, she was sure that the other party was a person. She pretended that she saw nothing and prepared to leave.

Chapter 179: Yotsuya Miko: "Destroy the World!!"

Gojo Satoru, a teacher at Jujutsu High School and a jujutsu master, is what ordinary people would call an exorcist. His mission is to exorcise vengeful spirits that affect human life.

In this world full of vengeful spirits and gods, as a jujutsu master, he has no time to exorcise all the vengeful spirits. This is because there are things more terrifying than vengeful spirits: cursed spirits.

Spirits are special entities born from the various thoughts of living beings. The most basic ones are ghosts and spirits. They are very weak, and some talented individuals can see them.

They are harmless to humans and animals, and even if seen, they do not actively harm people.

The next stage consists of vengeful spirits, which are terrifying and dangerous. However, they cannot harm people who are not afraid. Only when people see them and feel fear will they attack. Their attack logic is very rigid. If ordinary people see them, they can save themselves by pretending not to see them.

But cursed spirits are different. They are far more dangerous than vengeful spirits and can directly affect reality and harm people. Jujutsu sorcerers are responsible for destroying cursed spirits. Ordinary spirits, however, are usually left alone by sorcerers because there are too many of them. Even if all sorcerers and masters joined forces, they could only temporarily clear the spirits in a certain area.

Additionally, there are guardian spirits and gods. Deities are spirits with intelligence. Generally, these are not weak, but seeking their help comes at a price. Guardian spirits are more special; as the saying goes, "Good deeds will be rewarded." In this world, doing good and accumulating virtue can attract the protection of guardian spirits. However, guardian spirits do not always look friendly. Some appear fierce but genuinely protect a family or person.

"What an interesting girl. She sees the most dangerous spirits for ordinary people but hasn't learned any exorcism techniques. ...Wait?"

Gojo Satoru carefully observed Yotsuya Miko. Just as Yotsuya Miko was leaving, a pistol appeared in her hand. Gojo Satoru could clearly feel it was a cursed tool, and a high-level one at that.

"Such a huge obsession and power... This level is... special? Interesting, interesting." Gojo Satoru had come to this city to communicate and cooperate with local deities, but he didn't expect to meet someone who had automatically awakened the Spirit Eyes and even possessed a special-grade cursed tool as a weapon in such a small place. Now he was intrigued. Since he had free time, he decided to follow Yotsuya Miko to see what happened.

On the other hand, when Yotsuya Miko felt she was in danger, she immediately used her pocket money to buy a magazine of bullets. She knew now was not the time to be stingy with money. Something was eyeing her, and if she didn't buy weapons to save her life, she would die. The rest of her journey was uneventful. Although she encountered a few vengeful spirits, they were rigid and couldn't cause any harm.

As soon as she arrived at the school gate, Yotsuya Miko heard someone calling her name: "Miko~"

"Miko-chan? Good morning!" Yurikawa Hana, a very cute girl with a mature body and a great love for food, was also Yotsuya Miko's best friend. But today, when Yotsuya Miko saw her, she made up her mind.

"Good morning~ Hehe, eh? Miko? What's wrong?"

"Nothing... nothing."

Yotsuya Miko saw a ghost hugging her friend. She was sure she could get rid of the ghost, but when she looked around, there were more than a dozen ghosts.

The power of exorcism she got from the biochemical crisis would make her very hungry once she used it. Even if she really needed to use it, she would do it one-on-one with Yurikawa Hana before lunch.

One or two was fine, but she couldn't handle more.

It was the same class and the same end of class as usual, but when she was about to go to lunch, Yotsuya Miko said she wanted to go to the bathroom.

"Huh? At this time? Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."

Outside the bathroom, Yurikawa Hana looked around, wondering what to eat for lunch. She felt surprisingly good today and thought she could finish three bowls of rice by herself!

In the bathroom, Yotsuya Miko was playing with her mobile phone on the surface, but she was observing her surroundings through it. "One, two... very good. As long as I move quickly, I can..."

She took a deep breath. Based on her experience in the morning, four bullets could kill one. The gun had ten bullets, and she had two spare magazines. She needed to kill the three spirits in the bathroom without missing.

Taking a deep breath, she aimed the pistol at the spirit on the ceiling.

"One shot! Two shots! Three shots!"

Surprisingly, this one was taken down with three shots. With the sound of gunfire, Yurikawa Hana outside was stunned. When she was about to check on the situation in the bathroom, Yotsuya Miko pushed open the door: "I see you."

"You saw me, saw me, I..."

Bang bang bang!

After three consecutive shots, the ghost was successfully eliminated. Then Yotsuya Miko jumped out of the bathroom and aimed her right hand at Yurikawa Hana: "Destroy the world! Despair! Mortal!"

White energy gathered in Yotsuya Miko's hand, and white spots appeared on the ghost entangled with her friend.

With the spread of white light, the ghost disappeared instantly. "Huh?"

Yurikawa Hana was stunned. She was just an ordinary person and could not see the world as Yotsuya Miko did.

"Ahem! How was my performance?"

"Super cool! What was that sound just now?"

"This one."

Yotsuya Miko shook her phone, activating the simulated pistol sound on a gun sound simulation app.

The simulated bang bang bang sound was different from Yotsuya Miko's pistol, but ordinary people couldn't tell the difference.

Just then, Yotsuya Miko's stomach rumbled.

"Hehe~ Miko, you must be hungry. Let's go eat."

"Yeah!"

They went to the cafeteria together. Yotsuya Miko also had a big appetite today. Yurikawa Hana ate four bowls of rice, Yotsuya Miko ate three bowls, and she also had a bag of bread and a bottle of drink.

This way of eating made her already poor funds even worse.

"Woo woo, money..."

Yotsuya Miko looked at her empty wallet and felt bad. Now, let alone replenishing ammunition, she had no money to go shopping on her day off.

She decided to bring the exorcism business forward, but she had no idea how to take orders, let alone how to promote herself.

So Yotsuya Miko chose a forum related to the supernatural and posted an advertisement for taking orders.

"Professional exorcism, 100,000 yen per session, payment after exorcism, compensation for failure."

"Isn't this price too expensive? If I don't charge more at the beginning, the money won't be enough...still, I have to do it."

Yotsuya Miko felt that this price was too high. 100,000 yen was an astronomical figure for a student like her. Also, would anyone really believe her?

At the same time, Gojo Satoru, who saw this scene, almost spit out the water in his mouth.

Chapter 180: Sprayers Spray Ghosts**

Gojo Satoru had been observing Yotsuya Miko until he saw the exorcism message she sent. He was completely astonished.

Exorcism is generally about fate. When you see innocent people in trouble, you just do it.

Of course, there will be situations where you are short of money. It is understandable to accept orders in this situation. But even the lowest level of exorcism starts at 500,000 yen. This little girl only wants 100,000?

"Interesting, interesting!"

Gojo Satoru took out his mobile phone and contacted Yotsuya Miko through the forum.

He was very curious about Yotsuya Miko's limits, so he recommended a task involving a special cursed spirit. The cursed spirit was very powerful, but he could keep Yotsuya Miko safe.

On the way home from school, Yotsuya Miko received the message.

"There is a dirty thing. I hope you can go and take a look. OK!"

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath. To be honest, she was still afraid of these things, and she was not sure about the strength of these monsters. But as the saying goes, "wealth and honor come in danger," she planned to go over and take a look first. If it was too strong, she would just run away.

"Okay! That's it."

Yotsuya Miko made plans, and according to the address agreed upon on the forum, she rushed over as soon as she got out of school.

It was an abandoned construction site. Some dirty things had appeared in this area recently, and some workers had died inexplicably.

Anyone who does this work knows that there are some unclean things in this world that need to be dealt with. With the introduction of a friend, the person in charge found an 'exorcist.' But he didn't expect that this exorcist was so young? It could be a priest or a shrine maiden, but it turned out to be a JK?

"Who are you?"

"My name is Yotsuya Miko. I saw you had a need and rushed over after school. Is this the place?"

The person in charge, in a suit, took a deep breath: "Yes, five people have died here."

"Is it really because of the dirt and not because of something else?"

Yotsuya Miko knew more or less about some things on construction sites. Many construction sites are known for substandard work, which often results in regrettable casualties.

But unfortunately, this construction site was not like that.

"Our workers strictly follow the rules, and the dead died in a very strange way. They were all found in corners, with inexplicable wounds on their bodies, and died very miserably."

"Okay, you and I will go in and check."

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and prepared to enter the construction site to investigate.

Outside, she looked fine, but the moment she stepped into the construction site, her hair stood up.

Now this construction site is a five-story building. On the fifth floor, Yotsuya Miko saw a spirit actually greet her.

"What is this?"

This was the scariest guy she had ever seen. She felt that she could not handle this guy at all and was about to leave. In the eyes of the person in charge of the construction site, her body suddenly disappeared when she entered the site.

"Sure enough, she is an expert!"

The person in charge felt that he had found the right person. According to his friends, the person he recommended was very reliable, but the fee might be a bit high. But how much higher? The compensation for the dead far exceeded the reward that should be paid.

As long as it is useful, let alone 10 million yen at a time, he could even take out 100 million at a time. That's right, the person who helped him find someone this time asked for a price of 10 million yen, but for him, it was not a problem to pay this money.

However, Yotsuya Miko didn't know that her fee was 10 million yen; she still thought it was a commission of 100,000 yen. She walked into the construction site, and the moment she entered the gate, she felt a chill.

What did she see? A two-meter-tall, humanoid ghost with a white body and black stripes? No, this is more terrifying than the feeling of a ghost. A ghost will make sure you see it or not, but this guy actually took action directly and pulled her into a dark domain.

Its domain was not strong, but it could continuously weaken all people within the range and make the mantra and Yin-Yang magic invalid. But for most beings that are slightly weaker than it, the abnormality is a nightmare.

"Oh no, oh no."

Tears were already rolling in her eyes. She just wanted to take some simple exorcism tasks to earn some extra money. She had even prepared to run away directly when she encountered danger. After all, she had already practiced escaping and felt that she was quite good at it.

As a result, she didn't even get a chance to run away and was captured by the ghost.

She felt that her life was over.

Just when her fear reached its peak, golden English words suddenly appeared in the air.

"Don't be afraid."

"I will be with you."

"Defeat him!"

Yotsuya Miko wiped her tears: "Michael?"

The golden text hesitated for a long time and then appeared in front of her.

"I'm here."

"Take the weapon and defeat it."

A spray gun, six bullets, and a bottle of hand sanitizer suddenly appeared in the air.

The seemingly ordinary weapons instantly boosted Yotsuya Miko's confidence. Additionally, she suddenly found a golden symbol on her body that was exactly the same as the text.

"You can do it."

"Michael..."

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and pointed her right hand at the special-grade cursed spirit. The golden power gathered on the cursed spirit.

At this time, the cursed spirit was still searching in confusion. This was a special barrier that could be deployed by special-grade cursed spirits or special-grade sorcerers and onmyojis. This barrier had a guaranteed effect on people with cursed power and spiritual power.

To avoid this effect, either break the field or enter a more powerful field.

While it was confused, it suddenly felt a powerful force invading its body. The golden power eroded its body. It was not fatal, but it made it temporarily unable to move.

If it wanted to move again, it needed more than ten seconds of adjustment time.

But just as it was trying to recover, it suddenly found that the person it had pulled in was standing in front of it and raising a shotgun.

"Bang!"

The bullets of the shotgun poured on its body. Based on her gaming experience, she knew that this ability was ineffective against some powerful monsters. When it was successfully immobilized, it was necessary to use weapons to kill it.

However, reality is reality after all. The monster limit is set to five seconds, and it will never be advanced. But the cursed spirit in front of her already had human thinking. When it encountered danger, it would use its own "wisdom" to solve it.

It takes more than ten seconds to move the whole body, but it only takes half or even one-third of the time to move part of the body.

Its trunk wanted to hit Yotsuya Miko's body. Yotsuya Miko, who had no combat experience and didn't even know any proper evasive skills, took this hit solidly.

Yotsuya Miko was knocked away. When she landed, she felt dizzy and couldn't even breathe.

"Hurry up and use this."

Hand sanitizer is something she was too familiar with. After being attacked by monsters in the game, she used hand sanitizer to recover HP. She almost instinctively took off the lid of the hand sanitizer and poured the liquid into her hands.

At this moment, her body almost recovered instantly, and her head was no longer dizzy.

She knew that this was not the time to be dazed, so she raised her right hand again, and the golden power covered the body of the cursed spirit.

The cursed spirit roared. It was not long since it was born, and it had just swallowed the fear of several humans. It could still become stronger.

It already had experience. If Yotsuya Miko came closer, it would kill her in the same way, but this time it would use more power.

But Yotsuya Miko did not come forward. She silently raised her right hand, and when the power was activated again, she took out a pistol.

She took out a pistol and bought bullets crazily in the system mall. She did not keep a penny of her pocket money, and exchanged all of it for pistol bullets.

Twenty rounds of bullets; if it was not enough, she would mortgage her life and exchange it for an RPG.
