I'm just an internet cafe owner

Touma Kamijou scratched his head: "I don't know, what does he look like?"

"White hair, wearing a striped shirt and jeans, red eyes, and a slightly hoarse voice."

"Oh! You mean the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex? That room is it."

"?"

Misaka Mikoto's doubts today are particularly...

She looked up and saw Accelerator through the window. But Touma, standing beside her, waved and said, "Goodbye, Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

A bizarre scene unfolded: Accelerator actually waved his hand casually.

"?"

Misaka Mikoto felt that she had been more shocked in the past six months than in the previous year, but she didn't have time to think and went straight to Accelerator's room.

Upon entering the tidy room with a slightly spicy aroma, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but cough.

Before she could even speak, Accelerator lay down on the sofa and said, "One more hour. I'll show you the truth about this world at six o'clock."

Accelerator was very happy. In his opinion, bringing Touma Kamijou along was the right choice. He liked hot pot but hated cleaning, while Touma Kamijou was a qualified babysitter. He would invite him again next time they had hot pot.

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

At 6:00 AM sharp, when Accelerator received the notification that the internet cafe was opening, he didn't think twice and dragged Misaka Mikoto to the internet cafe.

"Boss, the guest I brought to you... I can't explain it to you."

Liu Yuan, the receptionist, gave an OK sign, while Tong hope went straight to Misaka Mikoto and began introducing the internet cafe.

One second ago, Misaka Mikoto was nervous, but then the sudden introduction left her somewhat bewildered.

"No, no, no, I'm not here to play games. I have things to do."

Misaka Mikoto stammered, unsure how to explain, because the whole thing sounded too fantastical.

Liu Yuan then asked, "It's an experiment on an absolute ability user, right?"

Liu Yuan received a message from Accelerator, and he didn't even know how to comment on this kind of experiment. To use the old man's analogy, killing 20,000 Platinum Children is equivalent to killing a Valkyrie once.

What a joke! Killing 20,000 Platinum Children will only make the Valkyrie heal more!

"you know too?"

"Oh! Yifang told me, but they're all minor issues. Let me guess, are you trying to save your experimental clone? Are you trying to terminate the project? And are you also feeling powerless against the darkness of Academy City?"

"Um…"

Misaka Mikoto nodded, while Liu Yuan said unhurriedly, "This is a very normal situation. It's normal that you haven't seen these things because you've been protected by your parents. Actually, this kind of thing is very easy to solve."

"How to do it?"

"If you are not strong enough, then develop your power and make it strong enough to stand up to them, but this takes time."

"And what about the other one?"

Liu Yuan took out a table and put a lot of things on it.

"To give you an analogy, these guys are the various factions, and you're just this one."

Liu Yuan placed a chess piece on the table. How powerless that small piece was against the water glass, books, and even bricks on the table! To say nothing of anything else, the brick alone could shatter the chess piece to pieces.

Misaka Mikoto realized that she was just a pawn in the eyes of everyone in Academy City.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan flipped the table over, scattering everything on the floor: water glasses were smashed, books were torn, and bricks were broken.

"Do you understand?"

Misaka Mikoto shook her head, while Liu Yuan smiled and said, "It's simple. They treat you like a pawn, so just flip the table. Whoever treats you like a pawn, just beat them up. Powerless? That just means you're not strong enough. You're an Electromaster. This ability isn't invincible, but it's enough to make you flip the table. Besides, this place can give you tremendous power."

What should I do?

Liu Yuan made a gesture of pinching money: "You know what, I have a game and a corresponding character here that are perfect for you. But you should learn from him. He can teach you immense power, so powerful that you can flip tables, so powerful that no one dares to do anything to you. After that, you can develop or join some faction. Individual power only instills fear in others, but when you're not around, they'll do whatever they want. But if your faction is strong enough, they'll have to consider many things."

"I see…"

"However, customizing a character requires an extra fee, right?"

"how much is it?"

Liu Yuan said calmly, "Twenty million."

This statement surprised Kisara, who was standing to the side: "What kind of being was it that was customized? It's so powerful?"

Tongxi replied, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Liu Yuan said 20 million yen, but it was actually the price of one million yen for an internet cafe. One million yen represents the highest combat power the system can customize; purely in terms of raw strength, that's the strongest level below the Lord of the World.

The one million comes from the copyright fee plus production costs, which are used to create virtual characters with the character's abilities, settings, and appearance to fight or hone their skills against players.

Of course, other players can use it after it's finished, and it won't cost them any money. But Liu Yuan doesn't want to spend that extra money unless absolutely necessary.

But if Misaka Mikoto is willing to pay, he'd be happy to bring this person with "the same abilities" as her into the game.

"Alright! As long as we can save her, we'll terminate the plan."

Without hesitation, Misaka Mikoto chose the Termination Plan over the 20 million yen. Not for anything else, but for the lives born because of her. She wanted to stop the plan from continuing, and at the same time, save her "sister," who was destined to die.

For her, matters of life and death did not elicit any hesitation.

time.

She couldn't come up with the money herself, but if she talked to her parents...

Even if her parents don't give it to her, it doesn't matter. As a superpowered person, she is confident that she can obtain this much money, even if... it's illegal.

Seeing how decisive the girl was, Liu Yuan began to admire her.

"Don't worry, you can repay this money slowly over the next twenty years, but there will be interest!"

"no problem."

At that moment, Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. This was a huge sum of money for her, something she might have had to sell herself to obtain. But the fact that it was a twenty-year term made her feel much more at ease.

"Come on! Get on the machine, Kisara, help her turn on the Mugen."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, a new character was released in internet cafes using the Mugen app.

At Branch 2, Baki, who was watching Goku and Garou fight, suddenly discovered that there was a new character to challenge in MUGEN, with levels ranging from high to low?

This person's name is Bai Junlang, and his muscular physique exudes power. However, unlike the custom version for Misaka Mikoto, everyone else can only use the challenge version.

The challenge mode involves challenging Bai Junlang with corresponding abilities, ranging from the weakest level to the strongest level.

But Misaka Mikoto's custom-made one is different; it teaches Misaka Mikoto how to improve her abilities.

Misaka Mikoto was assigned to the role, while Kisara whispered to Liu Yuan, "Boss, is the character you created strong?"

"I don't know if she's strong or not, but she's suitable for Misaka Mikoto."

Tongxi said seriously, "Magnetic field rotation is an extremely powerful force. Although it seems ridiculous, reaching 100,000 horsepower would give you the ability to withstand a nuclear bomb. Misaka Mikoto can easily control electric current propulsion now, and her limit is probably 500,000 horsepower for magnetic field rotation, but with my... boss's help, it will definitely reach one million horsepower!"

Tongxi quickly changed her tune, while Kisara asked with great curiosity, "Huh? Tongxi, how do you know so much?"

"I... I've seen similar settings."

"Oh! I see."

Liu Yuan and Mu Geng exchanged a knowing glance and then smiled simultaneously, while Tong hope patted her chest and gave herself a thumbs up for her quick thinking.

Misaka Mikoto entered the game, but she didn't understand how the game could grant her power until she chose Bai Junlang.

This was a muscular man with black hair and black eyes. Standing in front of him, Misaka Mikoto felt her own weakness.

But the thought of having spent money suddenly made her stand up for herself.

"I want to learn from you!"

She remembered what Kisara had said: although it was a game, everything she learned in the game was something she could use, but how much she could learn depended on how much she was willing to put in.

Unlike in reality, most games offer rewards for effort.

"you?"

"Heh heh heh, you don't even know the most basic electric current propulsion and you want to learn from me? First learn electric current propulsion and conquer yourself!"

As she spoke, a Misaka Mikoto appeared before her. This was a Misaka Mikoto with the same strength, created by Mugen by copying all of Misaka Mikoto's data. The difference was that this Misaka Mikoto was not only an electric user but also had mastered electric current propulsion.

How to quickly master a combat skill? Through combat, of course. Fighting to the death improves your skills faster, but the latter has obvious drawbacks: failure means death.

There's absolutely no need to worry about it in the game summary. No matter how much pain or death you experience in the game, it's all fake. Game players are never afraid of death. Even if a game character only has one life, as long as they can start another game, they're not afraid of dying. As for combat? They're even less afraid.

As Misaka Mikoto became a customer, Izumi Konata, as usual, opened TT in the main store. After seeing the message that she had just joined the group, she was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.

She immediately contacted Liu Yuan via TT.

"Dear boss, may I go to the branch where the new customer is located?"

"Sure, but don't go too far."

"Okay! Got it! Thanks, boss. By the way, boss, do you have any card games in your internet cafe?"

"A card game? The PC version isn't very fun, but if you really want to play, I can get a set."

"Okay!"

Liu Yuan always tries his best to fulfill customers' requests, so while Izumi Konata was preparing to get close to Misaka Mikoto, he was already researching what to put on the shelves.

At that moment, Izumi Konata got up, quietly took out a Gekota merchandise item from her backpack, and happily went to branch number three.

At this moment, Misaka Mikoto was so shocked by her own attack that she questioned her existence. She could sense that her version of herself in MUGEN was exactly the same in terms of both strength and psychic power level. And yet, she was brutally killed?

Just as she was questioning her existence, Izumi Konata stealthily approached. Judging from her uniform, she was probably in middle school. So long ago.

"Wow, what a pretty junior!"

"?"

Misaka Mikoto was caught off guard by Izumi Konata's sudden approach, while Izumi Konata calmly took out Gekota merchandise.

"It's fate that we met. Here, take this."

"Guatai?"
