I'm just an internet cafe owner

"I believe it too~ Hey? How do you play this game?"

The game Liu Yuan released is called "Two-Player Teamwork," a very fun cooperative two-player game. It's safe to say that he specifically chose this game after learning Mu Geng's exact thoughts.

However, although Liu Yuan guessed, deduced, or inquired about many truths, he strictly enforced the rule against office romances.

But what he didn't know was that the office romance was actually because his predecessor had gotten together with the system during training, and neither of them wanted to work anymore and ran away.

That's right! His predecessor had the same attitude as Liu Yuan when he was chosen. However, the core logic hadn't been established, the trading methods with various worlds hadn't been finalized, and Liu Yuan's boss seemed to have been away watching an idol competition for more than half a year.

For over six months, the previous host simply handed over all the training to the system, becoming a complete hands-off manager. It was during this time that the previous host got together with the system, fell in love with it, and ran away, not wanting to work anymore. Now, nobody knows which world they've disappeared to.

From then on, the great game world's administrators established a strict rule: office romances were forbidden, and to prevent employees from leaving again. He also consulted a senior colleague on employee management, which led to the Liu Yuan we know today.

As for why Liu Yuan received this discounted game, it's quite simple. If the system were leading the way, it would be impossible to prevent. But if Liu Yuan were to have relationships with other employees, and the system were to monitor them? That would be a separation of powers! No one could escape.

Chapter 271 Daily Life in an Internet Cafe

This game is an excellent cooperative game for two players. Compared to Overcooked, it's more conducive to strengthening the bond between partners. However, in Liu Yuan's memory, while many couples did play this game, it seemed to be played even more by male friends.

Actually, when he was asked to play a two-player game, he thought the game would deliberately choose a game like Overcooked to remind him, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of game to help him out.

The game's plot is simple: arguing parents magically transform into tiny dolls. They must use the dolls' bodies to explore, cooperating and working together until they finally return to normal.

This game also has a magical charm; once you start playing it, you can't stop.

However, after the system was modified, the game's storyline was slightly adjusted. If it's not a couple playing together, the main storyline remains unchanged, which is the story of a couple going through a divorce.

However, if they have feelings for each other, the plot will change according to their feelings. The stronger the feelings, the more outrageous the plot changes will be.

Looking at the plot that had been completely altered at the beginning, Liu Yuan only had one thing to say.

"As expected of the two of us, we easily accomplished things that even the system hadn't thought of."

"Boss, what are you saying? How do you play this game?"

"Explore! Clear the level! Neither of us can touch this part of the game!"

"Great!"

Not only Liu Yuan and Mu Geng started playing the new game, but the store managers and internet cafe managers from other stores also happily began playing it.

This game is a pure two-player game, unlike typical two-player games where one person can basically do nothing while the other theoretically completes the game. Alternatively, while it's called a two-player game, in reality, one person can do absolutely nothing.

But two people can't play together. If someone in this game is slacking off, then it's a complete slacking off.

However, this game has a fatal flaw for many people in internet cafes who have a clear goal: the game offers no rewards.

No, according to Liu Yuan's testing, the reward for this game should be a friendship, or perhaps a love.

love…

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan shook his head and sighed. Since the regulations prohibited office romances, he couldn't just openly violate them. However, according to Liu Yuan's understanding, this wasn't absolute.

It's obvious that after bringing in a second god or world ruler to the internet cafe, the authority and benefits given to me by the higher-ups have been increasing. Maybe if I expand the store big enough and have enough branches, this will happen?

"Boss~ over here! over here!"

While he was still in a daze, Kisara had already found the mechanism to pass through and was calling out to him.

"coming!"

These things don't matter; beating the game is the most important thing right now.

They played the game until 7 a.m. the next day, when they saw that the opening was about to begin. Liu Yuan and Musang then logged off and saved their game.

Arriving at the front desk, Reisen yawned and muttered, "I really want to play with Denji-kun..."

After playing with Leticia, she became certain of one thing: if she could play this game with Denji, it would be incredibly fun. However, she couldn't play games during work hours, and she didn't have time after get off work when the shop was closed.

She couldn't even return to her own world; who knew if Makima would kill her and Denji if she did…

Liu Yuan heard Lei Sai's complaint: "What, want to go on a date with your little boyfriend?"

"Ok!"

"Sure! We'll give you one day off for Christmas a week from now, just one day!"

"Really? Thank you, boss!"

"I'm happy to help others achieve their goals."

"Thank you, boss. You'll definitely be happy."

This made Mu Geng a little unhappy, but he quickly dismissed it: "Boss! I don't have enough clothes!"

"Not enough clothes? We have uniforms in our store, would you like to wear them?"

"what?"

At this moment, not only was Mu Geng stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.

"Work clothes?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes! To avoid the situation where employees have no clothes to wear, our store has two sets of uniforms, but they are very ugly, so don't think about those strange ideas."

These clothes were so ugly that they reminded him of school uniforms. Like school uniforms, these clothes were ugly but durable.

Leticia sat on the stool, propping her head up with her hands, and looked at Liu Yuan and Mu Geng: "Boss, Mu Geng wants you to go shopping with her."

"I know, this is a polite way of refusing. If you keep saying it like this, am I just going to have to refuse outright?"

"Pity…"

Mu Geng had no regrets, because she remembered that Liu Yuan was going to play a two-player game with other people that day. She just wanted to see if she could ask Liu Yuan out without playing the game!

Liu Yuan clearly sensed that after they expressed their feelings for each other, Mu Geng became noticeably bolder, and she also displayed the possessiveness that belonged to a demon.

"Forget about Christmas, but if I have time off during the Spring Festival, I can take you shopping in Minecraft."

"Hey?"

Kisara was even more dumbfounded this time. What did that mean? The boss still had a vacation?

Liu Yuan stroked his chin and looked at Mugen: "I have a feeling you're thinking about something impolite. Our store will give employees time off during their most important holidays, depending on the customs of different worlds and races."

"Hey!!"

This time, not only Kisaragi, but Leticia also showed a surprised expression.

"Huh? You guys don't think this shop is a shady business that works 997 and never closes for holidays, do you? Don't worry, we'll be closed on your world holidays."

"I don't believe it! I've never had a day off."

Liu Yuan asked the system while replying, "Because your world doesn't celebrate any major holidays, next week is Christmas in your world. If you want to celebrate, you can take a holiday. But the question is, who will you spend the holiday with?"

"Fine, I'll go with you. Then I can work openly during the holidays!"

"You talk like you're the one doing the work right now..."

"Please! Giving customers advice on game combinations and item selection is exhausting. I often have to do my research while working, otherwise I'd feel guilty if I recommended the wrong thing."

As usual, Liu Yuan chatted with his employees while preparing.

After quickly tidying up the front desk and various glass surfaces, and washing up, I also need to prepare for the day.

In the past, when there were fewer people, we could only respond to emergencies. Now, the number of people in each branch is increasing. At this time, we can no longer operate in a completely passive manner.

They needed to pay attention to various daily expenses, the habits of most guests, the stock of commonly used items, and the progress of each guest's strategy. However, Liu Yuan...

As the boss, I can just delegate these kinds of things to the other store managers and network administrators now.

On days when a new game is released, they also need to recommend it to players who are interested in that type of game.

This time, Liu Yuan slightly changed his strategy. Previously, he would just go with the flow and recommend whatever you needed. But this was clearly not suitable for a group of two, so Liu Yuan came up with an introduction and had Jibril, Yuna Takashima, and Leticia use it as the core of their recommendations.

Chapter 272 When Miyuki Shirogane no longer considers the confessor a loser

"A trip for two?"

Inside the branch store, Shirogane Miyuki's heart suddenly raced as he read the game's description.

Want to embark on a thrilling adventure with your friends? Want to test your compatibility with someone you secretly admire? Bring your friends or loved ones to our store and play this game together!

This is the top introduction; below are the gameplay instructions and some in-game notes.

This simple two-player cooperative game not only increases teamwork but also enhances intimacy.

"Can you fall in love while playing games?"

Miyuki Shirogane was skeptical of the game, but the watch on his wrist, which housed part of Angela's artificial intelligence, gave him a positive answer at that moment.

"Manager, based on this calculation, this game is perfect for you."

"Suitable for me? Why?"

At this moment, Angela almost cursed. Lately, she had experienced what true suffering meant. It was clear that Miyuki Hagoromo and Kaguya Shinomiya loved each other, yet neither confessed. And not only that, every time she made a move, big or small, it felt like the world was against her, and she was always thwarted.

However, this has nothing to do with the world; it's entirely due to luck, the abnormal thought processes of many students in the student council, and Kaguya Shinomiya's inability to analyze things properly.

According to the information Angela gathered, Kaguya Shinomiya is a young lady of the Shinomiya family and one of the heirs.

Through calculations and data collection, it was found that the children of these wealthy families received elite educations and possessed sufficient political acumen and emotional intelligence. However, after Angela received the information, she discovered that the child seemed to be slightly lacking in these aspects.

"Believe me, this game will be crucial if the boss wants to be with Kaguya Shinomiya!"

"What! Is it okay now?"

"I suggest that you don't do it now, supervisor. Christmas is in a week. You can find a reason to invite Kaguya Shinomiya over instead of inviting her directly without any reason or excuse. Inviting her directly will lead to the kind of failure you expect from her."

"Understood! Thank you, Angela!"

At this moment, Miyuki Shirogane's eyes gradually hardened. He wanted to break the deadlock and be with Kaguya Shinomiya.

With Angela's help, he's learned that Kaguya Shinomiya might like him. But it's only a possibility, and this game should be able to determine whether that possibility is true.

"Great! Let's do it that way."

"My personal suggestion is that you, manager, talk to the owner. You can get some interesting customized services at this internet cafe."

Hearing this suggestion, Shirogane Miyuki's confidence grew even stronger. In his eyes, Liu Yuan was the benefactor who had changed his fate, and listening to him was definitely the right thing to do.

So Shirogane Miyuki went to the front desk and asked Liu Yuan, "Boss, I have a request..."

Looking at the hesitant Shirogane Miyuki in front of him, Liu Yuan asked curiously, "A request? Do you want to use this place as a confession scene? It's not impossible, but you'll have to pay extra."

"No, no, but..."

Liu Yuan continued to stare at Bai Yinyu, recalling how intently Bai Yinyu had watched the two people together earlier. He nodded in relief: "I understand. You want to invite someone you like to come over but don't know how?"
