I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Please take a seat and wait. Someone will bring it to you shortly."

"OK, thanks…"

Following Kisara's directions, Tina arrived at the machine. It looked just like a normal computer, so Tina didn't think much of it and turned it on.

"Elden Ring? Resident Evil?"

She hesitated, unsure whether to proceed with the trial.

While she hesitated, Minato Namikaze, who had been observing Tina, smiled and said, "Little sister, is this your first time here?"

"Hmm, I don't know, which one is more fun."

"How about we try Resident Evil?"

"resident Evil?"

"A game filled with family love."

These words seemed to have triggered something, suddenly waking Tina, who had been feeling a bit sleepy.

"Family? I'm not interested!"

In reality, Minato Namikaze had only played Resident Evil, and the reason he was recommended to play it was because of 'family'. That was the only excuse he could use, and his reasoning was simple. He only experienced the part where his wife was killed and his daughter was kidnapped; he felt anger, but he didn't experience any real family connection.

He needs to know how the participants appear to outsiders; this is very important to him.

Liu Yuan didn't know how others perceived him while gaming, but he did know that this seemingly sunny blond guy was quite the smooth talker. A blond guy meeting another blond guy, and he starts by trying to charm them?

Chapter Seventeen: Ninjas and Pistols

Family? For Tina, it was a luxury. As children of the curse, they were mostly abandoned after birth, and people mostly cursed and resented them.

If I could experience family love...

She took a deep breath, accepted Minato Namikaze's suggestion, and started playing Resident Evil. At this point, Minato Namikaze didn't offer any suggestions on what to play, because he had absolutely no idea what these games were.

"Is the guest experiencing any issues?"

Upon hearing Liu Yuan's question, Tina pointed to the series of options that appeared after opening the Resident Evil icon and asked, "Which of these... is interesting?"

While the familial bond was undeniably touching, Tina felt a strange unease experiencing it within the game. She also sensed that the man beside her had ulterior motives, whereas the internet cafe owner seemed like a responsible businessman.

"Interesting, isn't it? Just like this guest said, if you want to experience family relationships, you can play the eighth generation. This generation allows you to experience what it's like to be a father. Or rather, a fairly competent father. If you want to fully experience the story, I suggest starting from 0. If you want to play with more immersion, I recommend 2. The first is a newly recruited police officer and a female college student searching for her brother. The other identities are a bit more special."

Throughout the entire Resident Evil history, the protagonists of Resident Evil 2 seem the most ordinary. However, if you know the plot well, the two protagonists of Resident Evil 2 are actually the most ruthless. Entering Raccoon City and fighting their way through, a rookie police officer and a female college student, how could they possibly conquer Raccoon City without taking any damage?

After much deliberation, Tina found Claire from the second generation to be very attractive. This character also appears in later installments, but not before. Therefore, she felt this character should serve as a bridge between earlier and later characters, and after thinking about it, she chose Claire as her starting character.

Next, Tina demonstrated what true skill is. As the cursed child, she possessed excellent physical attributes and had undergone systematic firearms training, allowing her to master the game immediately upon first playing.

Once inside the game, she experienced its uniqueness, being able to sense the outside world and having an extremely realistic experience with all five senses.

The weight of the gun was exactly the same as in reality, and even the reloading and ballistics were consistent with reality, so she didn't need to adapt at all.

Tina gradually found her footing, and in this environment, she felt relaxed. She had intentionally revealed her identity, but no one in the store reacted.

Liu Yuan was somewhat surprised, but his eyes showed curiosity rather than rejection, like the kind of curiosity one feels when seeing someone whose pupils can change for the first time.

Tina's journey was remarkably smooth; she encountered Leon, got into a car accident, and ended up exploring the police station. It was a standard procedure. Minato Namikaze, who had been watching for a while, found nothing unusual and didn't sense any strange power, so he also entered the game.

But after entering the game, he realized that something was wrong.

Tina did encounter some rather disgusting zombies after entering the game, but that was all. With guns and teammates, she easily got through the tutorial.

But when he resumed playing from where he left off, he found that the car he was in had overturned? The people who had captured him were dead and his daughter was gone? There were footprints in the snow, and from these footprints, he could determine that 'his' daughter had been...

The person was abducted.

On the game's difficulty level, Minato Namikaze cannot freely explore; he can only follow footprints. First, he walks through dark snow, sees some bloodstains on the ground, and hears strange noises.

After walking along a dark path, his view suddenly opened up, and he saw a village with smoke rising from its chimneys and a castle. At first glance, it gave him a magnificent feeling.

Then, he felt the deep malice emanating from the game.

When he encountered villagers who were being arrested with a knife and a gun, he immediately gave chase.

"It's so dark..."

He fell into a basement, and the numerous corpses inside made Minato Namikaze's heart race. But in order to find his daughter, he continued to explore until…

"!!!"

The sudden appearance of the werewolf startled him. He tried to block with his hand, but the werewolf bit his finger and swallowed it.

Pain, excruciating pain. But he endured the agony, and in an instant, the knife in his hand pierced its eye socket. With a powerful slash, the werewolf was killed before it could even escape.

"Phew... this feeling..."

Minato Namikaze felt that his fingers were gone in the game, but he could still feel their presence in reality.

Without the physical prowess of a ninja, no matter how fast his reflexes were, he could only suffer injuries in the face of such a sudden attack. Looking at his bleeding right hand, he casually took out a rag and wrapped it around it.

Even an average person with a slightly stronger body wouldn't be confident of defeating enemies who didn't use chakra. His first thought was to retreat, but now he only had one thing on his mind: save his daughter. Every second he was delayed could put his daughter in danger.

The character of Ethan influenced him, and with his child about to be born, this love for his child gradually allowed him to fully immerse himself in the role.

Although Minato Namikaze is playing a game mode, the game mode only restricts the activity area and the direction of the story. There are no restrictions on how to fight or explore.

This time, Minato Namikaze tried to defeat his enemy using his own wisdom.

At the same time, he became curious about the pistol in his hand. With the help of the system and Tina's previous demonstration, he learned that it was a device that could launch hidden weapons, the pistol was his name, and the bullets were his 'kunai'.

He tested the pistol's power; it was very strong. If a genin were within seven steps, this small pistol could instantly take his life.

At that moment, he became curious about the pistol...

Behind him, watching Minato Namikaze begin disassembling his weapons, Liu Yuan considered whether to tell him that other versions had even better firearms. For example, the Ada Wong rocket launcher obtainable in the second, fourth, and sixth generations; various assault rifles, Magnums, and shotguns.

But considering that these guns would be a pleasant surprise for newcomers to the game, he didn't say anything more.

Three hours passed quickly, and when the machine indicated that there was insufficient balance and he had to log off, Minato Namikaze turned around and left without any hesitation.

However, unlike last time, when he got home, he suddenly discovered that he had a backpack similar to that of a game character, and the pistol inside was clearly in his inventory.

"This is…"

With a thought, the pistol appeared in his hand.

The LEMI semi-automatic pistol, the first weapon Ethan acquires in Resident Evil 8. How could he even bring this weapon out?

Minato Namikaze initially thought that the internet cafe was just a wicked hobby of some powerful being, but now it seems that it's more than just a wicked hobby.

He used the Flying Thunder God technique to reach his secret training ground outside the village, took out a pistol, and fired several shots. Then he pulled out a shotgun, and the effect of a single shot captivated him. He used the Flying Thunder God technique to get behind the enemy and then ambushed them with the shotgun; he couldn't imagine how anyone could dodge it.

Most importantly, firearms do not require chakra to use; anyone whose fingers can move can use them.

The feel and power were exactly the same as in the game, and for a moment, his heart raced. But he quickly regained his composure, returned home, and woke Kushina.

"Wake up."

"what happened?"

"Here, take this. I'll teach you how to use it. Don't let outsiders know about this weapon; keep it for self-defense."

In a head-on confrontation, this weapon would be ineffective against even Chunin, let alone Jonin. But what about a sneak attack? A shot fired within seven steps could hit the target in an instant. Such a weapon doesn't exist in their world. If Kushina learned to use it, even a Jonin could handle an unexpected situation if used properly.

The speed of sound, a speed that even most Jonin cannot reach. Yet this little guy can achieve the speed of sound with every bullet, making him perfect for a sneak attack.

The only downside is that after giving the gun to his lover, he lost his pistol. Also, he can only carry as many bullets as he has in the game. At this moment, Minato Namikaze regretted using so many bullets in the game; if he hadn't used so many, he could have saved more for Kushina.

Chapter 18 Subaru Natsuki's Actions

Inside the internet cafe, Liu Yuan felt a pang of regret at Minato Namikaze's departure.

This man clearly looked like a successful person, but unfortunately, he was overly wary of this internet cafe. It's just an internet cafe, and he's just the owner. What can an internet cafe do for its customers? At most, they can swindle money from them to use the internet.

As a result, Minato Namikaze's wary demeanor hurt him.

Liu Yuan, on the other hand, chose to continue watching the spectacle.

The remaining three people in the internet cafe were completely absorbed in the game, especially Natsuki Subaru, who had ordered so much sushi. Apart from eating a few pieces at the beginning, the rest were just sitting there.

Take a look at the screen

Liu Yuan was somewhat surprised by Natsuki Subaru's appearance. He wondered what had gotten into this kid that made him single-handedly attack a group of monsters.

"Get stronger, get stronger! Get stronger."

Natsuki Subaru's heart screamed: Today he must become strong enough, otherwise...

"Hey, you're confused."

Liu Yuan's voice instantly calmed Natsuki Subaru down, but at the same time, his sudden calmness caused him to make a mistake in the game, and the three dogs instantly killed him.

"boss?"

"what happened to you?"

"Boss, I have a problem. What if the people around me don't believe what I say?"

These words made Liu Yuan's eyes light up. What did this mean? This kid was helping to promote the internet cafe, but people didn't believe him? That's easy.

"It's simple: show your strength and your sincerity. Sometimes, a little show of strength is more effective than verbal communication. You need to demonstrate sufficient strength before explaining the situation; this will maximize the other party's trust in you. As for the extent of that trust, that depends on your communication skills. But I believe in you."

Liu Yuan subtly hinted that directly saying things like "recruiting someone" wasn't a good idea, as it might offend Subaru and require re-recruiting. His words also had a double meaning: what if Subaru actually encountered a situation that required explanation but couldn't be clearly explained? In that case, subtly demonstrating his strength would be far more effective than mere words.

Natsuki Subaru was debating whether to reveal the truth: the maid sisters, the monsters, and that witch cult. He had resolved the first two crises, but the third, no matter what method he used, would lead to a surprise attack on the mansion. Everyone would die a horrible death.

Roll? The opponent has 'countless' followers; if they dodge, I'm gone. Fight? The opponent won't even fight me; how can I win?

"If you're in a bad mood, you can play a different game. The old man's life is miserable after dying so many times; you can change your mood by playing a different game. How about Resident Evil 6?"

"resident Evil?"

He was about to shake his head when Liu Yuan explained, "The game isn't expensive, only three hundred yuan a set, you have plenty of money. And Resident Evil 6 isn't difficult either. You can choose Chris at the start and just start shooting and going on a rampage. Isn't that better than suffering here for half a day without making any progress?"

"I…"

"Give it a try; no boy can resist a gun."

This sentence made Natsuki Subaru's eyes light up. Yes! Besides the abilities within the Elden Ring, he could also try to bring weapons out. If he could bring out firearms! In that instant, a glimmer of hope flashed in Natsuki Subaru's eyes.

It doesn't matter if there are many enemies; just set up your own sniper rifle!

He spent money to buy games. When he entered Resident Evil 6, he decisively chose Chris's route, but between Piris and Chris... He thought about it and chose Piris because he saw the cool sniper rifle behind Piris.

The plot? He didn't care anymore. All he wanted now was to get the weapons as soon as possible so he could go back and wreak havoc.
