I'm just an internet cafe owner

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan moved closer to the two of them.

"It's impossible! When you entered this place, the timeline was already locked. No matter what method or channel you use, you can't interfere with time unless you reload a save or travel to a parallel world. This is to prevent you from being killed for other reasons. Dealing with worldline changes and convergence is quite troublesome. Moreover, some worlds don't even have a timeline, so time travel is directly unusable in worlds like these. However, pausing or jumping through time should be possible."

Kinji Toyama asked curiously, "Boss, besides Red Alert, which other games involve time-related technologies? I'd like to know."

"Technology? Lobotomy Corporation, they've achieved both the memory bank and singularity technology of this world."

"Thank you, boss! Lobotomy Corporation! Get started."

Kinji Toyama launched Lobotomy Corporation, and Accelerator also opened Lobotomy Corporation out of curiosity.

Liu Yuan then complained, "But it's best not to touch time if you can avoid it. Anyone who plays with time will be treated as an outcast by the world. As for the future? The future is like a light cone. What you see is actually what has already happened, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your own future."

While Liu Yuan was interacting with the guests, he noticed that Makise Kurisu was standing still.

"Sir, do you have any further questions?"

"Yes! What are the benefits of becoming an employee here?"

"Benefits? You can play everything? That doesn't seem to be the case."

Makise Kurisu's mind was racing; she was incredibly intelligent. Based on just a few conversations and her own experiences, she was able to roughly assess the situation.

She realized that this was an opportunity, a chance to truly engage with cutting-edge physics and even with the technology and truth about time.

She also noticed a sentence, "The timeline is locked," which sounds like a mystical power, but what if it's true? If it's true, does the ability to travel through time actually exist in one's own world?

Thinking about all this, she asked Liu Yuan a question: "If this really is another world, why are the physical rules here almost identical to the world I live in?"

Liu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? I'm just a working person. Maybe all worlds are just copies of the same physical rules from higher-dimensional worlds. After all, creating such things is quite troublesome."

In any case, based on what he's observed of the world so far, aside from these superhuman powers, the other physical laws are almost identical. As far as he understands, many worlds use a unified template, with rules added on top of that template, like DLC or mods. As for where the template came from? Nobody knows.

Chapter 329 To prevent his boss from being seduced, Kisara starts seducing others (Bonus Chapter)

Upon hearing the reply, Makise Kurisu felt as if her head was buzzing with the sound of a hundred firecrackers.

She wanted to ask something, but after a brief conversation with Liu Yuan, she finally understood why the elderly scientists she knew all believed in God.

It turns out that God really does exist.

Her mind was racing, and the onslaught of information caused her vision to go black, and she fainted.

Kisara, who had been watching this area, leaned on the front desk and whispered, "Boss, is she alright? She fainted after only exchanging a few words with you?"

"Her cognition was impacted, plus she's too smart, and she thinks too much, her brain is overloaded."

"puff!"

This word made Kisara burst out laughing.

"If someone with such a smart brain is a pig's brain, then what am I?"

"What a silly little head of yours."

"Ew~ So cheesy."

After making a sarcastic remark, Kisara got up and carried Makise Kurisu on his back.

"She's taking over your job, right?"

"That's right, it's a newly recruited position."

"Okay, then I'll take care of her?"

"No problem, but speaking of which, why are you so enthusiastic?"

Kisara picked up Makise Kurisu in a princess carry and whispered, "Because I feel that we have some overlapping attributes, I'm afraid she'll steal your heart."

"Indeed, we should be more careful in this regard. Then I'll leave the education to you."

"Okay~"

After an unknown amount of time, Makise Kurisu woke up. Although she was fully awake, her head still ached a little, but she quickly decided to give up thinking.

Thinking about too many things is bad for your brain.

"Oh, you're awake. The surgery was a success."

"Where exactly is this place...?"

Makise Kurisu's voice was weak, but as she asked her question, Kisara gently took out a piece of chocolate and said, "The boss said you've been overworking your brain. Relax your mind first. You can get whatever you want to know here."

have to."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. By the way, my name is Kisaragi. The boss always likes to call me Geng. What's your name?"

"Makase Kurisu".

"It's a very nice name."

Kisara, leaning close to Makise Kurisu, continued, "Don't worry, no one here will hurt you, and no one will force you to do anything. I've checked, you did agree to come in multiple times. And the boss didn't stop you from leaving either."

"Yes, it's just me, but I..."

Makise Kurisu wanted to think about more things, but as an ordinary human body, the overwhelming amount of incomprehensible knowledge she absorbed made her genius-level brain involuntarily start working on its own.

Seeing the girl with a headache, Mu Geng stood behind her with a smile and gently massaged her temples.

"Okay, I'll tell you what to do, and you don't need to think about it for now. If you want to stay, you can stay; if you don't want to stay, we'll help you erase this painful memory, okay?"

"do not want!"

Makise Kurisu refused, but Kisara continued, "Listen to me now."

Her words seemed to have a magical power, causing Makise Kurisu's mind to pause its thinking and listen to Kisara recount the details.

After listening, she understood why she had come here; she wanted to become an employee of this store. As a perk, she could travel to various worlds to learn their knowledge and technology.

Time machines… something that's only theoretically possible in reality, actually exist in this internet cafe. Besides that, there's teleportation, cosmic technology, magical technology, and all sorts of other amazing powers. It's all in this internet cafe.

"Wasn't that interesting?"

"It seems...yes."

Makise Kurisu felt her head throb even more. Putting everything else aside, she simply couldn't understand how things could be the same at the same time with different time proportions.

However, at that moment, she did something that many scientists do in their later years.

“I understand now, this must be God.”

It wasn't that she was mentally impaired, but rather that there were too many things she couldn't explain, and even less could she understand. Until this mystery was solved, she could only comfort herself with this thought, at least to ease the immediate discomfort in her head.

"In other words... as long as I work here, I can get everything I want... right? And the time ratio of working hours is different from the time ratio of my world. Twelve hours of work time equals twelve minutes, while after get off work the time ratio is the same or even slightly inverse, just to let me live more time in reality."

"Yes."

"Then I'll take this job."

Makise Kurisu took a deep breath; she was certain that this place would not disappoint her.

"Great."

"Thank you so much. Um, may I lean on you for a bit?"

"Of course you can. You can rest for as long as you want. It's just the two of us here."

What Makise Kurisu didn't see was that Kisara's lips curled into a smile, and she was secretly laughing with smug satisfaction.

"Miss Geng has won big! Hehe~ The newbie must be completely infatuated with me, so she won't fall for that jerk, the boss. Wahahaha."

Despite his inner smugness, Kisara did not show any of his pride on his face.

Besides that, what she was even more proud of was that she had saved Liu Yuan money. Through her own efforts, she had managed to get this newcomer to work for free! A complete freebie!

Liu Yuan was completely stunned when he saw the newcomer agree to and sign the contract with the system.

"It's true that newbies want to learn all sorts of technologies, but it's so great that it's free! Is this the first freebie since Kisaragi?"

Jibril doesn't count; she was working to pay off her debts, but she seemed to be caught in a vicious cycle where the more she paid, the more debts she accumulated.

Makise Kurisu has started getting familiar with her job, but it's the older Takashima Yuna who's showing her around. Kisaragi, however, wants to get close to Liu Yuan, so Takashima Yuna is trying to prevent Liu Yuan from unintentionally gaining favor with her in the early stages.

The daily work at the internet cafe isn't complicated: collecting money, turning on the computers, and recommending games. In fact, Makise Kurisu even finds the job somewhat tedious and boring.

But when she got involved with games, she realized she had underestimated things. What she considered work during the day was actually rest; her real get off work was after work.

She came to understand the so-called game world as a series of worlds, where she experienced life and gained knowledge from each world.

As an employee, she doesn't need to be as proficient in these games as a regular player, but she must understand what these game worlds represent and what she can gain. In addition, she discovered she had an extra ability: she could see the rules of the world her guests inhabited, and her job was to recommend suitable games based on those rules and their individual needs.

It's a job that truly requires time and experience to master.

However, Makise Kurisu is confident in herself. She has set herself a small goal: to first understand her job and then try to create a... time machine.

Chapter 330, Amiya's Training Plan, is now available in CS:GO.

Along with the addition of new players, Liu Yuan also joined a new game.

Currently, internet cafes have at least 30,000 online users every day. Although most of them are machine gunners, there are also many ordinary people from the ordinary world.

Still that

In short, the games in internet cafes are amazing, and the rewards are excellent, but for some people with strong goals, the games can also motivate them to grind excessively.

However, over time, some people who are not particularly talented will not have a very good gaming experience.

This time, Liu Yuan wants to add a relatively simple game, one that anyone can play, with a focus on competition.

CS

Full name: Counter-Strike.

This game is practically a household name in the gaming world, whether it's the earliest CS 1.5 and 1.6, or CS:GO, or even CS:GO. They all represent a generation's memories.

As a shooting game, this game falls far short of the realism of the Rainbow Six series. However, in terms of difficulty, this game is incredibly easy. Anyone with hands can play; if your reflexes are fast enough, you can rack up kills.

There are no fancy features in the game; you can buy equipment, kill people to earn money, complete mission objectives, or kill everyone.

There are no fancy gameplay elements; it's a simple and brutal rush where you can just meet someone and start shooting.

To ensure fairness, a special balancing system is installed inside, so the number of Mechs is the same for both sides in ranked and casual matches, since Mechs are the majority.

At the same time, this game does not have a real difficulty level, but only a simple game mode. Its purpose is to allow most ordinary players to enjoy shooting games here.

The balance system has also been improved. You're strong? No problem. If you're strong enough, there will be system enemies. Their calculation and reaction speeds surpass those of machine-type enemies. As system enemies, they also come with X-ray vision, headshot lock, and tactical simulations against different races.
