I'm just an internet cafe owner

Inside the internet cafe, everyone was teaching newcomers how to operate the system and play games. The first game they played was Resident Evil, and the last was Old Man Ring. These two games have the easiest rewards to obtain; you can practically get them just by playing, making them highly recommended for beginners.

While newcomers may not be able to complete the game, and may even be unable to defeat the Grek soldiers, they are not necessarily required to fight. If you really can't beat them, you can ride your pony around the world to collect weapons and equipment, which are basically freebies.

While everyone was instructing the newcomers, Liu Yuan stepped forward and said, "Everyone, a new game is out. It's a short game, so you can log in and familiarize yourselves with it."

"A new game?"

"Short process?"

What is the reward?

Liu Yuan sat down next to Mu Geng and introduced, "Titanfall 2 is a sci-fi mecha game. Unlocking items are various weapon modules usable by the Titan. After completing the game, you can unlock the Titan Core and obtain the most basic Titan design blueprint."

Kisara couldn't help but retort, "Give me the design drawings? Can you even make it?"

"Yes, you can directly put the materials you need into the system. If you don't have the materials, you can buy them in the player shop."

"Wait? Buy it?"

Kisara grasped the key words.

"Yes, Titan parts will be available in the store; you can buy them directly if you can't get them. It's just that these things don't count towards our revenue, which is a bit of a shame. Also, this game has a PvP mode, which unlocks more Titan weapons and soldier-specific equipment, making it a very useful game."

According to the system's explanation, this is the right to sell accessories obtained through cooperation with other worlds, and we can only take a share of the profits.

The total cost of building a Titan, including all the materials, is approximately 800,000 yuan, and he only receives a 3% cut. However, this approach has a significant drawback: if a new player were to directly purchase a Titan, they might not be able to afford it even with significant investment of time and effort.

For beginners, there's only one way to quickly craft a Titan: have the corresponding basic materials in your world. Only by gathering the basic materials and purchasing a few special materials from the store can you create a Titan for under 100,000 yuan.

Chapter 202 Titanfall 2 and 86 (Bonus Chapter)

With the opening of the internet cafe imminent, Liu Yuan brought Theresa to the new store and explained the specific rules.

That night, Leticia only learned about the internet cafe's operating model. She could attract people, but introducing games still required Liu Yuan and Mu Geng's help.

"I understand, leave it to me."

"Okay, we're having a grand opening sale today. And this time the selection is even better than last time, so the new customers should arrive faster?"

Kisara retorted, "Does an internet cafe need to choose a location before opening?"

"What do you think? Not only do we have to choose a location, but we also have to pay protection money. And this is only because we have connections in higher-ups, and our connections know some big shots. If we don't pay enough protection money, and there's no big shot backing us up, we'll just get ganged up on and beaten up if we go around beating people up all over the world."

"A gang up on someone is quite something."

Kisara didn't even know how to respond. What Liu Yuan said sounded like he was trying to gain ground, and something felt off to her.

However, she didn't have much time to think about it, because a new one had already begun.

At 8:00 AM sharp, the internet cafe opened for business, and at the same time, a young man with black hair dressed in combat gear appeared inside.

Shinn Nozan, a soldier in a special war zone, is the captain of the vanguard fighting against the Legion.

The moment he appeared here...

He looked around warily; the weapon in his hand had disappeared, but his belongings were still on his person.

The newcomer's appearance didn't fluster Leticia. She took two steps forward, reaching eye level with Shin, and said, "Hello, this is the Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe. Here, you can obtain anything you want through games. Powerful strength, unparalleled wisdom, or even stronger and more advanced weapons and equipment—you can get them all here."

"Weapons...equipment? But I have nothing."

A flicker of emotion crossed his calm eyes. He remembered what he had been doing. Before going to sleep, he had prayed in bed that everyone could leave alive, even though he knew the cruelest truth. But that didn't mean he didn't want everyone to live.

He could only use his 'superpower' to design the most suitable battle plan to ensure everyone's survival. He didn't yet know what kind of person the newly appointed controller was, and could only hope they weren't the kind of people who would cause trouble unnecessarily.

But it was while he was pondering these things that he time-traveled.

Was my wish fulfilled? Or was it the environment? The gods? A trial?

All the words he knew flashed through his mind. If it was a dream, then he could rest in the rare tranquility of his dream. If it was real, it couldn't be worse than reality, could it?

"How do I begin the trial?"

"Please look here."

"money?"

Shin didn't expect that what he needed was money? What a joke, where would he get money?

Leticia noticed the new customer's predicament. Recalling Liu Yuan's introduction, she spoke again: "This internet cafe can use all the assets under your name, even if these assets are not currently under your control."

"Is that so? Then let's see how much money I have."

"Ok."

With permission, Theresa began to check the funds in Sinn's possession: "Hello, the total is exactly one hundred thousand."

As Liu Yuan specifically emphasized, if it's not cash, round down the amount whenever possible; the internet cafe doesn't bother with being stingy while making money. After all, buying games and new equipment uses the internet cafe's revenue, not the system's money, so the more they squeeze the system, the more money they end up keeping.

"One hundred thousand? Is that all? It seems like it's enough for me. What should I do?"

Leticia smiled and introduced, "Our latest game, Titanfall 2, is perfect for a soldier like you with combat experience. The game has a relatively short storyline; based on your experience, you should be able to obtain the final reward in a maximum of five hours in real time. Afterward, you can purchase the game Escape, which can temporarily soothe your tense nerves. Finally, enter the Borderlands in a relaxed state to gain true power."

"I'll listen to you. Money is useless to me now."

Forget about money, he doesn't even know how long he has left to live.

If he could use money to gain power and the chance to save his companions, he would be happy to do so.

Guided by Leticia, the first customer at branch number two took a seat. Leticia didn't know much about the game, but she remembered Liu Yuan's core requirements.

To satisfy players' needs and make more money, she tried several games that could be completed quickly that evening. Escape games were indeed terrifying, even frightening her, but the feeling of relaxation after leaving the game revealed its selling point.

The new game Titanfall has a short storyline; if you have extensive combat experience, it takes a maximum of five hours to complete, and even those without that experience can finish in eight. The Titanfall 2 + Escape combo allows Shinn to first acquire the 'power' he needs before relaxing, and then head to the borderlands to obtain some items for self-defense.

Most of the weapons and items from the Elden Ring would not be invincible in the technological world, but they would be enough to protect oneself or even become a dominant force.

This kind of sales is equivalent to bundled sales, making a profit of 1,000 yuan from the customer in one go. It doesn't seem like much, but many newcomers can do this in the future, entering the internet cafe without having looked at anything and contributing 1,000 yuan.

With Leticia's help, Shin enters the game Titanfall 2.

Shin was stunned the moment he entered the game. The game used his personal data and even created his own CG. Why he joined the army and why he fought were clearly explained in the opening CG alone.

Having learned all this, he entered the game world. As a machine gunner, he needed to undergo training. Under the tutelage of his instructors, he learned to use his equipment to scale walls and fight enemies with firearms.

During this process, he took a look at the equipment he was wearing. It was high-tech that he had never heard of or seen before. This technology allowed him to run quickly on walls and was extremely bulletproof and blastproof. If he had this equipment in his own world, even if the God of Destruction they were piloting was destroyed, the people inside might still survive.

The Titanfall plot unfolds very quickly; during basic training and preparations for Titan training, an emergency occurs. The spaceship crashes, and he lands on the battlefield.

Fighting the enemy in the darkness, he was protected while the instructor and Titan were defeated. Before dying, the instructor transferred temporary access to the Titan to Shin.

"Shin, use my Titan! Use my helmet and jump gear, this is no joke, and take good care of him..."

Upon witnessing the instructor's death, Shin's thoughts were in constant flux.

Is this really a game? Why does this game feel so real, so real that it reminds him of his former captain and all those people…

However, even in realistic mode, a game is still a game, and the story must continue. He solemnly removed and put on the equipment of his superiors and instructors.

While the new players in the new store were progressing through the new storyline, many of the long-time customers in the old store also got excited.

What did they see? A new game! What's in the new game? Mechs!

Chapter 203 BT Decides to Create Its Own

After returning to his own world, Shin, a new customer at Branch 2, stared at the BT Core in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Artificial intelligence...?"

According to the game, this is also artificial intelligence. But his world is currently being invaded by an AI army, and he doesn't know if this AI can help him. A voice from the depths of his being tells him that he can do this, and that doing so will cause his enemies great losses.

Before him lay the Legion's intelligent machine, now rendered inoperable. He could easily insert the BT's core with a simple gesture, or even use the BT's AI to infiltrate the Legion's AI.

Looking at the deep blue BT core in his hand, he hesitated.

He laughed, laughing at himself for becoming so indecisive. He had a feeling he could succeed, and even though he couldn't even build a Titan, he still felt sorry for the core.

When did I change? Was it because of that last sentence, Agreement Three?

Agreement Three: Protecting the Ironclad

Shin recalled his experiences in the game, and with his real-world combat experience combined with the training he received in the game, he mastered how to use BT and defeated the enemy.

He originally thought that his teammate's death wouldn't affect him much emotionally, until BT's actual death.

He remembered everything in the game: his first time as a pilot, his first time being thrown out by BT, being saved by BT when he thought he was going to die during the fall, being protected by BT, and even the final words of trust when he was threatened.

"call…"

Shin sat on the ground looking at the sky, having given away his own core in order to survive.

The moment he destroyed the base and revived BT, he didn't see BT as a machine, but as a comrade. He intended to complete the final mission with BT, but…

Agreement Three: Protect the Pilot.

And that final line, "Trust me," became Shin's last memory in the game; he couldn't believe whether his experiences in the game were real. If they were real, how could he distinguish between illusion and reality?

If it's fake, then this experience...

BT's core data, upon investigation, reveals an artificial intelligence far exceeding what is actually known. To prevent it from being controlled by hackers on the battlefield, its internal firewall is so robust that even typical artificial intelligence cannot crack it.

If this data could be uploaded into the Legion's system, he believed BT could resist the erosion or even take over the mainframe.

But what if? If I fail, it's not that I lose the system, but rather…
