I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Wait, just call in someone who can fight. Don't let ordinary people affect them."

Sid needed help, and the people he'd rescued and who had been willing to play house with him all these years were perfect. He didn't expect them to be of much use; they just needed to tell him where the enemy was when they were moving. If things went wrong, he could always call for reinforcements.

He was heartbroken just looking at his secret stash of money!

Alpha saw the love written by Sid

The person was shocked upon hearing the report. These matters involved the headmaster of the Midgard Magic Sword Academy and the king of the country, implicating a wide range of people.

"As expected of Lord Shadow, he has obtained such important information."

In the intelligence report above, Sid only vaguely mentioned human experimentation, which the cult was secretly conducting. Since he obtained the information directly from Liu Yuan, he didn't know the details and could only handle it vaguely.

However, he believed Liu Yuan's words because Liu Yuan was invincible.

Anyway, Liu Yuan didn't know why Sid trusted him so much. Maybe he'd been brainwashed by Kinji Toyama and Accelerator? Liu Yuan had also noticed something was amiss: some people had formed a small group and were constantly bragging about themselves. He didn't know what he had to brag about.

Just as Alpha was about to get off, Sid sighed inwardly: "After all, they've been with me through my chuunibyou for so long, I can't let them help me for nothing this time."

He believed that Alpha and the others were playing this childish game with him out of gratitude for the fact that he had turned them into humans back then.

But what he has to do now is not child's play, but real saving of the world. He can't let Alpha and the others help him for nothing.

"Alpha, do you know what I've learned from my short life? The more you pursue power, the more you'll discover that human power has its limits."

"Lord Shadow?"

Alpha had a bad feeling, and at that moment, Sid, who had been facing away from her, suddenly turned around, took out a katana, and asked, "Alpha, do you want to master the power from the gods?"

"The power of the gods...?"

Alpha's body trembled. From the day she met Sid, she had decided to follow in his footsteps. But at this moment, she suddenly realized that his figure had vanished.

"That's right, this weapon is bestowed upon you."

As Sid said this, he also felt a pang of heartache. Weapons acquired in internet cafes normally couldn't be given away, but as the saying goes, with money, anything could be done in that internet cafe.

As long as the strength and attributes meet the standards, a certain fee can be paid to allow someone to possess a certain weapon.

But how can money compare to good looks?

Getting Alpha online was part of his plan. As for why he wasn't inviting her now, it was because the system had warned him that minors were prohibited from accessing the internet when he tried to invite her recently; he could only add her once she was an adult. But before taking her online, he needed to let her experience the charm of the Valkyrie.

So Sid pulled out his weapon, the 'Marlenia Prosthetic Blade'.

"Lord Shadow, this is..."

The moment the weapon appeared, Alpha sensed the killing intent emanating from its blade. This was a weapon that had slain countless lives; in a way, her perception was correct.

Almost every faded person who has seen this weapon has died by it.

Sid, holding his weapon, flung off his cloak and grinned wickedly, "The Valkyrie's weapon comes with the Valkyrie's combat technique 'Waterbird Dance' Alpha. I'll only demonstrate it once. Watch closely."

Sid leaped into the air, paused briefly, and then charged forward. Dozens of blade strikes flashed around him as he sprinted.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

This was Alpha's most immediate feeling. Her intuition told her that she had only one choice when facing this skill: to escape. No! She couldn't escape, because she saw Sid dash three times in that instant. The three dashes were completed almost instantly; these were dashes that no matter how fast one was, they couldn't avoid.

Wherever its blade passed, only corpses remained.

Meanwhile, Sid had returned to Alpha's side and handed her the weapon.

"This weapon is called the Malenia Prosthetic Blade. It is the blade of Michaela, second only to the weapon wielded by the Valkyrie, the strongest demigod, General Rataen. I hope you will not let it go to waste."

"The strongest demigod? Michaela's Blade? The Valkyrie?"

Hearing the questioning voice, Sid knew in his heart that Alpha had taken the bait. Just like when he first met Alpha, Sid said in a deep voice, "Yes, this is a war between gods, and I only witnessed a part of the war by chance. Take it, Alpha."

Alpha instinctively grabbed the weapon, and the moment she did, her eyes widened.

"This knife..."

She saw the weapon's name, its abilities, and the life story of its original owner.

What did she see? Did she see Lord Shadow attacking the weapon? She saw Sid fighting the Valkyrie. Only this time, it was the battle Sid won.

The two Sids launched their attack simultaneously, unleashing a dazzling array of magic and deadly sword strikes.

As expected of Lord Shadow, he actually managed to defeat the wielder of this weapon? He defeated a legendary god who may not even exist.

"and many more?"

Alpha suddenly realized something: even a demigod is still a god. And the wielder of this weapon was a god, who was killed by Sid.

"As expected of Lord Shadow."

"?"

Sid felt a surge of smug satisfaction: "Alpha must be absolutely stunned by this weapon, hahahahaha!!!"

Although he was secretly pleased, he didn't show it on the surface. With his back to Alpha, he said, "Take it and use it. Remember not to use this move on your own people. Also, prioritize dealing with the miscellaneous matters of the academy and the kingdom."

He actually wanted to kill the big boss, but his older sister was studying at the academy. In this life, his family was...

It is infinitely more important than anything else.

He knew his sister wasn't actually in danger, but what if she was? Not knowing the truth before was fine, but now he knew the truth about this world from the invincible boss. Then, he would cut through the darkness lurking in the shadows of the kingdom and the academy.

Midgard Magic Sword Academy... He hoped those people wouldn't be so foolish as to harm his family, otherwise he would show them what cruelty was.

The Shadow Courtyard has begun its operation; the previous plan was for everyone to develop independently. Some were involved in disguise, some in managing the organization, and others in running businesses to provide funding for the organization.

However, just before Alpha was about to leave again, Sid suddenly remembered something.

He purchased some daily necessities, luxury perfumes, everyday soaps, laundry detergents, and various fabrics from the player store.

"Take these and sell them."

"Lord Shadow, you already knew?"

"Yes, I trust you can handle it. Remember, the money is in my hands."

Sid is poor! Although he's a nobleman, he doesn't have much pocket money. He's already spent a fortune giving away a weapon, and he doesn't have enough money to go online. He can't risk his life; he can only work as a middleman to earn enough for internet access and basic necessities.

Alpha was amazed by Sid's intelligence; their merchant guild had only just begun to thrive when Sid found out. But at the same time, this only strengthened her resolve.

Chapter 347 Finding a New Network Administrator

At Sid's command, the seven yin gathered.

This time, they gathered at the chamber of commerce established by Gamma.

The first thing Alpha did was to take out the things that Sid had ordered to be sold.

Gamma was shocked: "What are these?"

"These are luxury items that Lord Shadow brought out; Lord Shadow is short of money."

"Money? All I have..."

Gamma was about to say he would take out all the money when Alpha stopped him.

"Lord Shadow has his reasons. He must not want to affect the economic operation of the Chamber of Commerce, so he took out these things."

After explaining, she continued, "Lord Shadow has given us new orders to infiltrate the King's living area. Lord Shadow wishes to meet with the King."

"what?"

This statement shocked everyone. Their plan was to develop the situation gradually and investigate step by step. Why did they suddenly decide to attack the king directly?

Beta asked excitedly, "Is Lord Shadow going to become king?"

Alpha shook his head and said solemnly, "His goal is not power, but the people in this world shrouded in darkness."

"As expected of Lord Shadow."

While they were preparing to take action, Sid also contacted Liu Yuan via TT.

Is the boss in?

"No."

"Boss, I have a request."

"What?"

"I'm about to take action, but I'm afraid my destructive power will be too great."

"You want to harm innocent people? How about I clean up the mess for you? That's not out of the question."

Inside the internet cafe, Liu Yuan was pondering a very serious question: whether or not to add a manager to the third branch. He'd originally been thinking of having Tong Xi hire one, but now someone had invited him to help out in his world? What a coincidence! He could just find someone while he was in that world.

Oh! By the way, since I've officially become the boss, the system can no longer help with recruitment, and recruitment work falls under the boss's job responsibilities.

While it's more reliable to let the system help, but...

Looking at Tongxi's current state, Liu Yuan felt that the reason he asked her to find someone was probably because she was oppressing him. It would be better for him to find someone he knew or someone trusted by Mu Geng. That way, someone could help keep an eye on Tongxi's work and prevent her from slacking off too much as the branch manager.

Having considered this aspect, Liu Yuan gave Xi De an answer.

"Here's what we'll do: just call me when you're ready to make your move. I'll cover your losses, you'll pay for the time travel, and I'll find someone to be a network administrator in your world while I'm at it."

"Looking for someone? I do know a few..."

"It's okay, I'll just grab someone randomly. If I happen to grab someone you know, I can just talk some sense into them."

"No problem! Leave it to me, boss."

Sid has gone to carry out his operation, which would have been more troublesome for him in the past. But now, he is fully confident because he can see the health bars.

That's right, all the abilities gained from playing games at internet cafes include seeing health bars.

Evil deeds don't necessarily result in a health bar, but those that do are generally not good people.

Sid didn't consider himself a protagonist, nor a good guy. He simply used his absolute power to suppress all those in darkness from the shadows. Now that he could see the existence of health bars, it made his actions much easier.

On the other side, Kisara, who was playing CS with Liu Yuan, asked curiously, "What's the boss doing? Is it open?"

"Don't rush."

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Someone just asked me for help. I was thinking that we're short-staffed for network administrators, so let's take this opportunity to get one for this branch as well."

Tongxi then spoke up directly, "Boss, I am very capable."

Her implication was that having her here was enough.

Liu Yuan asked definitively, "Are you serious? If we leave this branch, are you okay with it?"
