I'm just an internet cafe owner

But it was only then that Kisara realized something was wrong. She wrapped her arms around Takashima Yuna's neck and whispered, "Do you know..."

What happened?

"Hmm... I don't know much about it, but my mom taught me a bit about it before, so I roughly know it's fake..."

"It's not a big problem. Who knows if it's true or false?"

While they were talking, Leise asked, "The boss won't do anything to Xiaoji, will he?"

Kisara shook his head and said, "As long as Koki doesn't do anything reckless, the boss won't..."

Before Kisara could finish speaking, Jibril's loud laughter echoed down the corridor. It was fortunate that Jibril was in her "Little Jibril" form, otherwise the loud laughter would have been accompanied by an explosion.

"A fatal blow!"

The expected scream from Liu Yuan did not occur; instead, Jibril's scream came from the other side.

"A fatal blow? Today I'll show you what a real blow looks like."

The so-called "bingga" can be seen as a spinning top from Northeast China, which can be kept spinning by constantly whipping it.

Amidst the crackling and clattering sounds from inside the room, Jibril's screams ceased. Finally, a purple object sprang out of the hallway and landed precisely at their feet.

"Pfft! Hahahaha..."

Just as Kisara was about to burst into laughter, she suddenly felt a fierce gaze that made her stop laughing.

"Hey? Boss? What's wrong?"

Kisara feigned an innocent expression, but Liu Yuan wasn't buying it. He walked up to her, flicked her forehead, and said, "What are you daydreaming about? I already told you in the group that the new game is out. Hurry up and familiarize yourself with it so we can promote it to customers tomorrow."

"New game!!"

Upon hearing this, Jibril, who was lying face down on the ground, suddenly perked up and asked curiously, "Boss! What new games are you putting on the shelves?"

"Two models, one called Detroit: Become Human, and the other called NieR: Automata."

Kisara, who had already turned on his computer, said with some curiosity, "It sounds like a game series..."

"It is indeed a series."

Liu Yuan casually pulled out a chair, sat down, and recalled, "The Detroit series is about whether androids can be human, and the NieR series goes back to Drakengard. Both are classics among classics, but only a part of them are currently available."

These games were not within Liu Yuan's purchase range, but he was lucky this time and these two games happened to be available.

Liu Yuan didn't know if his good luck today was brought by Jibril or by his bathing and changing clothes, but it didn't matter. He would grab Jibril before the next refresh and try again. If he got good items, he would grab her before the next refresh. If she was useless, he would throw her out.

Leisai didn't open the game because in a few hours it would be her secret date with Denji. Unlike everyone else present, she had a boyfriend.

As for Liu Yuan and Mu Geng? Perhaps a long, long time ago, they fantasized about dating. Now? They're both incredibly fast at getting into the game.

These two started playing NieR: Automata without even thinking about it. What's with Detroit: Become Human? Are androids even human? Sorry, neither of them had any of those questions.

In Liu Yuan's eyes, anyone who pays to use the internet is a customer, no difference. The old Mu was practically a demon, perhaps still debating whether or not someone had a soul to be considered human; now? He shares Liu Yuan's attitude.

Forget androids, even if a monster walked in, it would still be a customer if it obediently paid up. See Spider-Man? As the top performer at Branch One, many customers specifically go to Branch One to see Spider-Man.

Spider-Zi is a bit socially awkward, but when she's surrounded by a group of internet-addicted girls and cute girls, her happy expression makes it impossible for anyone to tell that she's socially awkward. That's right, only pretty girls can get close to Spider-Zi.

And so, the night passed happily amidst the laughter and joy of playing games. Hu Yu was quite satisfied with the modifications made to NieR: Automata. The original story was about 2B and 9S gradually awakening their humanity, but the games provided by internet cafes would be adjusted according to the different needs and preferences of the players.

The game mode is still the story of 2B and 9S, but in the real mode, you can adjust your appearance, and 9S will also change according to your needs and preferences. If the game is played by artificial intelligence, a special mode will be triggered.

However, these are merely cosmetic changes made to satisfy players; the game's storyline remains largely unchanged. But like other realistic difficulty games, the ending will vary depending on the choices made by other players. Whether these changes are good or bad is a matter of opinion.

Chapter 238 Tactical Dolls and NieR: Automata

Just as planned, Jantia brought in the tactical dolls.

"Commander, where is this?"

MP5 nervously observed her surroundings. In her memory, the commander had asked her to come to the lounge. After a brief exchange with Janetia, she and the commander ended up here.

Furthermore, you are completely disconnected from the database, meaning that if you die here, you are truly dead, without even the chance to back up your data.

Furthermore, she was not carrying any weapons, meaning she had no chance to resist if danger arose.

"Eee-ya!!"

MP5 seemed a bit nervous, but whether it was genuine nervousness or a pre-programmed simulated personality, no one knew.

Hello, may I bring this?

"Does the child come to the internet cafe?"

"child?"

Today, Liu Yuan was in charge of receiving guests because Leticia was temporarily helping out with some issues on Leticia's side. However, he hadn't expected to encounter a newcomer like Janetia on his end.

After looking the MP5 up and down, Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Of course it can. As an artificial intelligence, it already has the most basic conditions to have a soul and can play games normally."

Liu Yuan was quite surprised that the world of Jane Tia could produce such advanced artificial intelligence. Although the so-called consciousness and personality were simulated by a system, the calculation method based on the core of the mind was indeed quite remarkable. According to Liu Yuan's calculations, after about ten years of upgrades and iterations, this technology could very likely achieve intelligence that reaches human levels in any aspect.

Whether these people are bots or not is irrelevant; anyone who comes to an internet cafe and is willing to pay is a customer.

"We just added two robot-themed games to our internet cafe. This little girl will definitely like them. Here, this is for you."

Liu Yuan took out a lollipop and looked at Jian Tiya with some hesitation.

"Take it, the boss isn't a bad person."

"Yes, thank you."

Jane Tia led M95 to find a seat, and Kisara, who was reading a book next to her, asked curiously, "That little girl doesn't seem to be human... She's different from Shubi, she doesn't have a soul."

"No problem, you'll get it after you finish the game."

"Damn, is our internet cafe that awesome?"

"They've been awesome for a long time."

While the two were teasing and joking, Jane Tia had already opened the game on her MP5 player.

"Ok?"

Clicking the game description with the mouse, she saw two games that looked like they were related to artificial intelligence, causing Jane Tia to frown slightly.

"Commander, what should I do?"

"Put on your glasses, then open NieR: Automata."

Jane was hesitant to let MP5 handle the game Detroit: Become Human too much, because, as far as she knew, the rewards obtained after completing the game in this internet cafe were only for the user's use.

If this game were to create an AI that directly elevates MP5 to the level of human intelligence, it would cause me a lot of trouble later on. On the contrary, NieR: Automata seems alright; at most, it would just make MP5's combat power much stronger, which is acceptable.

"Commander, what should I choose?"

"Choose the realistic difficulty level, then feel free to experiment."

"Yes!"

The storyline of NieR: Automata is very interesting. In the game mode, players need to control 2B to play the game, and then play the game again as 9S before finally triggering the real main storyline.

The game's realistic mode is the most addictive, allowing regular players to immerse themselves or engage in role-playing. However, special players like mp9 will unlock a unique mode.

In pod mode, when the AI's computing power cannot match that of 2B or 9S, the system will forcibly increase the AI's computing power to the level of the corresponding character after entering the game. In real mode, the AI ​​will not be able to import its own data and can only play the game at different stages as 2B, 9S, or A2.

Only after the first official completion of the game can the AI ​​player choose whether to use real data to play the game again.

"Huh? This feeling?"

Upon entering the game, MP5 found herself piloting a plane, and a mission request appeared on the communication channel. Just a moment ago, she knew she was a tactical android, MP5, but now, in her data perception, she had become 2B.

MP5 will now complete the game as 2B, and upon exiting the game, the system will replenish the emotions gained in the game into the Heart Core.

However, compared to the game mode, the real mode has a tighter time limit and is more difficult. What's strange is that, currently, unless the hardware is inadequate, almost everyone in an internet cafe who seriously plays the real difficulty mode can complete the game; the only question is, what the ending will be.

MP5 started the game without much thought. With her pre-defined personality, she had a strange feeling about the game from the moment she started playing.

Piloting a plane to fight Android robots, rapidly traversing the factory, and finally defeating a super-large robot.

Having obtained 2B's combat data, MP5 can easily fight these enemies, except for the final colossal robot, which is a bit more troublesome to fight.

"Attack like this? And then...like this?"

The initial enemies are not strong; this isn't due to beginner protection, but rather because they are inherently weak. Only robots equipped with special intelligence can inflict any damage on YoRHa's intelligent combat robots.

MP5 felt joy. It was strange. Even though she was just a tactical doll and had no human emotions, all her feelings were just a setting, she felt joy at this moment.

Fighting against massive machines, a black box detonates, uploading consciousness to restore the body and resume the battle. The androids here don't die; as long as they upload data before dying, they will be resurrected in a bunker in space.

This design is almost identical to that of the tactical doll, which makes MP5 feel strangely familiar.

The game isn't very long; even in real mode, with nearly fifty disappearances over four days, MP5 successfully completed the game.

She witnessed the appearance and disappearance of the brothers "Adam" and "Eve," and saw herself...

He contracted the virus and eventually collapsed, but then transformed into 9S, overcoming all obstacles before dying alongside A2.

In the game, she witnessed the desire for new machines and also saw that new machines already existed.

Yes, those machines that look like children... they have hearts.

At first, mp5 felt confused, but then she also felt fear.

The mechanical singer at the amusement park is just a girl who wants attention.

Pascal, a pacifist, wanted to protect the children.

Even though the king of the forest kingdom could not grow up, he still risked his life to protect it.

Both Pascal and YoRHa were machines destined to fail once they were built.

It was clearly destined to fail, but when I watched the MP5 to the end, I actually felt... a pain in my core.

Chapter 239 (mp5 file titled "Up in the Sky")

In the Griffin tactical doll lounge, MP5 returned with a smile, still savoring the day's events. However, as soon as she returned, she noticed something was amiss.

The time inside my body is inconsistent with the time on the internet. Do I have eleven hours and fifty-three minutes more time than others?

"Huh? P7? I was gone for a few minutes?"

"About twenty minutes, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

MP5 was deep in thought when she received an order from the commander.
