I'm just an internet cafe owner

"These are just your trials. Before you begin, sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"

The contract essentially means that once you sign it, the 'Demon' of the Circle of Truth will grant you power. In return, you need to come here to surf the internet every day and give the Circle of Truth 50,000 yuan every month.

As a benefit, the Circle of Truth would grant her enough power to protect herself, but at Liu Yuan's request, she exchanged this power for that of the witch. She drew power from darkness and despair to strengthen herself, but without any side effects.

After all, Madoka is a god now, and doing this kind of thing has side effects. She might consider jumping off her godhood and letting Homura Akemi take over.

This power wasn't invincible, and she had also adapted it to Devil May Cry. After all, she was the true master of the world, collaborating with internet cafes, so analyzing the power within Devil May Cry was a piece of cake.

By adapting this power to Devil May Cry, the amount of power Dongshan Xiaohong gains in the game will be the same amount she can utilize in reality.

But as the saying goes, miracles and magic don't come for free. Dongshan Xiaohong has to pay 50,000 yuan every month. Liu Yuan will temporarily cover the cost until she runs out of money, and he will remind her by deducting a portion of her lifespan from her salary.

However, Liu Yuan roughly calculated that if Dongshan Xiaohong didn't work hard to earn money with this kind of deduction, her lifespan could be reduced to a negative number within a few months...

"It's not a big problem, just consider it a small investment. But this project seems like something I could talk to Yuan Shen about! It looks like it could be very profitable."

If someone like Dongshan Xiaohong urgently needs power, they can apply for a loan from Yuanhuan Zhenli. Then they can pocket a cut of the interest, making no profit at all. The process is completely opaque; they can set whatever they want. The customer pays 50,000, and they, as the middleman, make another 10,000 or 20,000 – a freebie!

It's not exactly free, since maintaining the power requires significant maintenance costs to ensure it becomes a part of your own for stable use.

On the other side, Dongshan Xiaohong looked at the contents of the contract, gritted her teeth, and signed it. Compared to signing contracts with the demons in her own world, this was simply an ordinary employment contract.

Every month, 50,000 yuan must be given to the power providers and 10,000 yuan to the maintainers. Temporary credit is possible, but Dongshan Xiaohong understands that the ability to borrow on credit is the most terrifying thing.

"Waaaaah, I want to make money quickly!"

As Dongshan Xiaohong wiped away her sweat, she opened the game Devil May Cry. As a newbie who had just added the game to her playlist, Devil May Cry would give her a perfect gaming experience.

Chapter 192 Ee-yah Sword Technique

The plot of Devil May Cry is all about brothers stabbing each other, uncles and nephews stabbing each other, or fathers and sons stabbing each other. This is a long-standing tradition of the Spartan family. When they meet, they do nothing but stab each other in the heart as a sign of respect.

As a player, Dongshan Xiaohong did not...

Instead of choosing to become Dante, she directly copied her own data and became Dante. Although she is called Calm in the game's story, she can also be called Little Red.

For Dongshan Xiaohong, the game was a bit too immersive. In the game, she was of both demon and human blood, and became a demon hunter to carry on her parents' will.

What a coincidence! Little Red is also going to become a demon hunter. However, in the game, she's doing it to inherit her parents' ideas, while in reality, she's being forced by her mother.

This made her feel somewhat ironic.

However, she had no choice; she either had to become a sex worker or a demon hunter, and whatever she chose, she had to make money. For the sake of her dignity, she chose to become a demon hunter.

Regardless of how different their experiences were, Dongshan Xiaohong's identity in the game allowed her to experience what it was like to be a Demon Hunter in advance.

"This is a weapon..."

"Attack like that!"

"Can you really use a pistol to hunt demons? This sword is so heavy..."

Because it incorporates its own data, the Rebellion Greatsword is significantly larger than Dongshan Xiaohong's. Although this weapon is much bigger than Dongshan Xiaohong's, it's not particularly difficult for her to use.

The ebony and ivory firearms gave her a luxurious feel. She used them casually, but they were just ordinary firearms without any particularly magical power. However, these two pistols had a slightly large recoil, which could be used to create a floating effect during firing.

In Devil May Cry, you can't talk about physics. This world is about light and darkness, humans and demons. Demons, these unscientific creatures, exist. So what if you use recoil to float and attack enemies?

It's not scientific, but it's magical.

Devil May Cry has a linear storyline, similar to Resident Evil. This game doesn't have any branching storylines; it's mostly just fighting and killing without any dialogue.

In reality, Dongshan Xiaohong would feel terrified, but once she entered the game, no matter how realistic the game content was in real mode, her intuition told her that it was just a game.

In reality, the body can move freely, and the game can be ended whenever the player wants.

"How amazing..."

She didn't know whether the illusion was real or not, but she knew one thing: death in the game wasn't real death, and no matter how many times she died in the game, she could start over.

In that instant, she became incredibly arrogant.

From childhood, she was an unlucky yet honest child, doing whatever her parents told her to do. Because she had many siblings, her life was very difficult. She wanted to go to university, but unfortunately, her family didn't have the money, and her mother even made her earn money to support her older brothers' education.

Regardless, she silently accepted all of this, but after entering the game world, when she discovered that she had power and a powerful Power, she became somewhat arrogant.

"Here, I can do anything, right? Absolutely, right?"

In realistic mode, there are no fancy skills; everything relies on the player's or game character's own experience. After immersing herself in the character, Dongshan Xiaohong mastered several moves and combat techniques.

Normally, this kind of move requires a certain amount of practice to master. But after recalling her character's abilities, Dongshan Xiaohong was able to use it immediately.

Then came the encounter with the bald man, defeating the demon, and meeting the short-haired girl; the journey was mostly filled with fighting and killing, nothing more. At first, Dongshan Xiaohong was a little timid in the game. But as she played, she realized that demons weren't so bad after all.

Like I said, it's just a game anyway; you can always start over if you die. Besides, in the game, she's half-human, half-demon with incredible regenerative abilities, so she's practically invincible. The only downside is that getting hit hurts a bit.

However, although the game comes with a variety of powerful skills, after using them all, Dongshan Xiaohong discovered that there is a sword technique that looks ordinary but is actually very powerful and can kill gods and Buddhas.

That's the legendary 'Eee-Ya Sword Technique,' a signature skill of the Demon Hunter. It involves dashing forward a short distance and launching a powerful thrust. It has the effects of charging and knocking enemies back, and can deal considerable damage.

After a thrust, you can follow up with a million thrusts, making it arguably the simplest and most practical skill among all the Demon Hunter's skills.

Not everyone in this world is a genius. Some newbies, seeing the flashy combos in the Devil May Cry series, downloaded the game only to find themselves a complete noob after playing. Weapon switching? No idea! Combos? Can't figure them out. Aerial combos? They land as soon as they're airborne.

However, even a novice demon hunter can easily execute this EeYa sword technique repeatedly.

A simple and brutal thrust attack, this attack combines teleportation and launches enemies into the air. Enemies without super armor or shields can only be relentlessly comboed. Even during Devil May Cry 5's friendly stabbing match between Vergil and his opponent, you can use the EeYa Sword Technique for mindless dashes. Skilled use can even render monsters unable to get up, teaching them a lesson in the power of a single, powerful move.

This sword technique is highly versatile, but the fact that each attack is accompanied by a mesmerizing wailing sound has made it the infamous Wailing Sword Technique.

Dongshan Xiaohong immediately fell in love with this skill, which any player could use and which could deal considerable damage.

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah!"

In the game, she relied on this "Eee-Eee" sword technique to dominate the battlefield, even fighting against Vigi.

During the battle, Er relied on this Yiya sword technique to render his 'own brother' unable to retaliate.

Parry? Whatever. I can make countless mistakes, as long as you get knocked back even once, I'll remember. What? A powerful demon? I'll keep poking you until you get dermatitis, so you can't even move.

Thus, the Witcher, who should have relied on flashy moves to defeat the demon, instead relied on simple, unadorned thrusts to the very end.

During this process, Kisara came over to take a look. After seeing Higashiyama Koko's strategy, she curiously asked Liu Yuan, "Boss, is this game really as flashy as you just said? I didn't see any flashiness at all?"

"Oh, this..."

Liu Yuan glanced at it too, and when he saw the strange swordplay, his head felt buzzing. Perhaps it had been too long since he'd played, and he had indeed forgotten this simple and unadorned skill.

"The combat techniques in this game are indeed very flashy, and there are many different ways to choose from. Once the enemy is in the air, they can't come down. However, not everyone is good at this kind of combat. Ahem, so I left a few of these simple and unpretentious skills. Just tell me whether they are practical or not."

Liu Yuan had just remembered this very useful technique, but he didn't expect that Dongshan Xiaohong could learn it without a teacher.

Chapter 193 My First Experience with Devil May Cry Ends

"Is this what a demon is?"

After defeating one demon after another, Dongshan Xiaohong's acceptance of demons increased, even in reality. After all, there were quite a few demons in her world; she had even seen some appear near her.

His terrifying appearance and the aura that filled her with despair terrified her so much that she dared not move.

Compared to these, the demons in the game were much better. Although they were also quite ugly and terrifying, she felt that her in-game self was even more terrifying. Furthermore, the demonic power she had acquired through her contract seemed quite advanced, and the demons in the game were also afraid of it. Especially after she defeated them, they were even willing to become weapons for her to use.

Unfortunately, she wasn't very comfortable using any of these weapons, and she was more comfortable just thrusting forward with the Rebellion Greatsword.

Although it was somewhat shameful, compared to death, a little shame was bearable. Besides, everyone who saw her shameful side died.

The process of navigating the game was a bit awkward, but as she played, Dongshan Xiaohong began to wonder if this world was truly a real game world. It was true that she could load saves and sense the outside world.

However, every interaction, change in expression, and even different fighting movements of oneself will affect those around them.

This girl, who calls herself Lady, also has her 'brother' Virgil. Even though he stabbed her upon seeing her, for some reason she didn't sense any murderous intent from Virgil.

To repay her brother, she successfully stabbed him in the heart with the "Eeya Sword Technique" in the game, thus tying the score.

What she couldn't accept was why Virgil slashed her when she reached out to save him from the abyss. That slash hurt a lot in the game, and it seems to hurt a lot in real life too.

Just as she was thinking and preparing for the next part of the story, she saw a system notification.

There are still 10 minutes left in the store, so tell her to save her game quickly, otherwise the game will have problems because she didn't save.

She quickly saved her game and exited. As soon as she exited, she saw Kisara next to her.

"How does this demonic power feel?"

Because she wields the power of the Circle of Truth, and the game, in order to unify the world view, also refers to this power as demonic power. But regardless of what it's called, the usefulness of this power exceeds her expectations.

Especially after the power enveloped her entire body and she entered demon form, she felt herself filled with power!!

"Very strong, but, um, may I ask, what is your name, demon?"

"I?"

Kisara blinked and said seriously, "It's a secret!"

The Secret Demon—she etched that name into her heart. At that moment, she also sensed the demon's immense power.

The power of demons comes from fear, but what is there to fear in a secret? After careful consideration, Dongshan Xiaohong suddenly realized that secrets are terrifying. The terror lies not in having one's own secret discovered, but in others discovering one's secret.

Everyone has secrets, and no one wants their secrets to be discovered. Is it the fear of having secrets revealed that gives birth to this secret demon?

Higashiyama Koko felt her mind was in a bit of a mess, but just then, Kisara pulled out two guns.

Ebony and white ivory. These aren't the weapons from the game; they were custom-made by Shubi based on the game's design. After all, these weapons don't have any special powers—one is a high-powered gun, and the other has a high rate of fire.

In the game, Dongshan Xiaohong has already figured out how to use the two weapons. In reality, although she no longer has the greatsword, these two guns are still enough to deal with ordinary demons.

Demons are indeed terrifying, but powerful demons are few and far between. A typical demon hunter might only encounter a truly terrifying demon once every five or even ten years.

Although the mortality rate for this profession is very high, the pay is high. Even just hunting down minor demons can earn you hundreds of thousands of dollars in one go.

It's not as easy as going into business, but you can earn much more.
