I'm just an internet cafe owner

Hearing Liu Yuan's words, David breathed a sigh of relief: "Then can I exchange forty years of my lifespan for power?"

"Of course! Whether you live in the world or in this internet cafe, you can come to me with any questions you may have."

"Thank you, boss!"

"Bronya, take that machine with you."

"Yes!"

Bronya agreed and led David onto the plane.

After watching him walk away, Alicia asked softly, "Boss, is this okay? Will the newcomer fail after he goes back?"

"No problem. Even if someone really dies, I'll extract their soul and make them work to pay off their debts. Rest assured, this is a conscientious business."

Alicia, however, did not believe it at all. If a shop could trade lives, how could it be considered a place with a conscience?

Bronya scoffed at such words. Conscience? If Liu Yuan had a conscience, would she be working here for free forever?

She had met a senior named Jibril before, who said that this was a black market, and no one who came here ever left alive.

This terrified Bronya.

But in reality, what Jibril said was true. Because so far, no one has resigned, so not a single living person has left.

David was put on the computer, and faced with a dazzling array of games, he struggled to make a choice.

"Excuse me... how do I gain power?"

In response to the newcomer's question, Bronya calmly introduced, "You can meet Yuri first, and then try out our new game, Cyberpunk 2077!"

"Hey?"

David paused for a moment. 2077? He seemed to be living in 2076. What was this?

David had a strange, vague feeling that he had really encountered an opportunity.

As for whether it was about opportunity or not, Bronya had no idea. She was simply following procedure by recommending the game to newcomers.

Following the internet cafe's "foolproof newbie guide," regardless of what the newbie does or what they study, as long as they are a person, you can recommend Mental Omega to them.

Yuri can solve 99% of the problems. If there are any that he can't solve, then go to the old man's ring and find the big brother. The big brother can definitely solve 100% of the problems.

tell a joke

Nowadays, it seems that besides Liu Yuan, no one else in the internet cafe can beat the older brother on the first try without skipping class, and only Xiao Dangjia can beat him ten times. Because when Xiao Dangjia went in, the two competed in cooking skills, and Xiao Dangjia thought of his mother's cooking and also of Dudu, resulting in a complete victory.

The older brother can develop his body to its limits, but he doesn't know how to create, so he's not very good at that.

Of course, there's an underlying logic to recommending Red Alert right away: Red Alert is a time-consuming game, and newbies might play it for a long time. Even if you're not interested in real-time strategy games, buying Red Alert at the start increases your personal spending.

Whatever games he plays, the internet cafe will make an extra profit from them.

However, Bronya is still somewhat conscientious; there's still a despicable way to play in internet cafes.

Because Clannad offers a 50% discount for completing the fixed route, many people who are short of copies recommend this game, and it receives overwhelmingly positive reviews in internet cafes.

Chapter 408 2076 Playing 2077

"Oh! My dear heretic, do you have any more questions?"

David is now completely bewildered by Yuri's hype. As a teenager, he has many questions: where he came from and where he will go after death; what role he can play; whether he is a burden to his mother; how he should face his mother; how he should reveal his thoughts to her; and his future career plans.

Yuri provided precise answers to all of these questions, and when David was lost, Yuri gave him a clear direction in life. Unfortunately, David was too young and inexperienced; he didn't understand many things, and even ignored them because he felt they were useless.

“My dear heretic, I don’t know how you dreamt of these things, but if what you’re saying is true, the best first step is to become the sole ruler of this city, the sole capitalist, to become part of them, and then find a way to eliminate them.”

At that moment, David set a goal for himself: to become a king, to become... a capitalist!

He disconnected from the Red Alert game and stared blankly at the screen.

Just then, Lelouch took off his glasses and spoke to the newcomer: "Hello, my name is Lelouch. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Help me... um... I want to know what's going on with this shop, and the owner, he seems really impressive..."

Upon hearing this, Lelouch's eyes lit up.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The boss isn't just impressive, he's... invincible!"

"Hey?"

Lelouch recalled Liu Yuan's methods in his own world: with just a simple promise, his own world—no! It should be said that the physics of the solar system simply ceased to exist.

It even allowed him to easily win over a large number of researchers, and now he is ready to rebel against this world. However, before that, he decided to rehearse a few more times.

Because his target was Alaska, Cape of Hope.

Holy Britannia has a base here, and it's also very close to various continents, making it an excellent place to showcase alien technology.

As for why he brought CC along, it was simple: this woman was trustworthy—that was his intuition. Between reason and emotion, this time he chose emotion.

David's eyes widened: "Boss, is it that amazing?"

"Yes, you can talk to the boss if you have any difficulties. Although there will be a small price to pay, believe me, it will be a price that you can afford in the future."

Lelouch initially thought that uploading all the future technologies seemed like a waste. But then he realized it was a huge profit! Because of the organic Kai, no technology was worth mentioning in front of them.

The boss wants technology, which is basically allowing you to get it for free, right? Once Lelouch understood this, his gratitude towards Liu Yuan flowed like a never-ending river.

David memorized Lelouch's words, and then, remembering Bronya's suggestion, he entered the game Cyberpunk 2077.

Good morning, Night City! Last night's Lotto 2018 was a complete disaster...

David was stunned. The game's setting was the City That Never Sleeps? Wait? Was it something that would happen in the City That Never Sleeps a year from now?

His heart was racing, and he was excited. After entering the game following the instructions, he found that he could choose his identity.

He chose the "company dog" role without hesitation, because his mother wanted him to become a company dog.

Once inside the game, he was even more awestruck by the incredibly realistic scenes. The identity of V, in particular, shocked him.

A high-ranking official in the barren area? What an honorable and prestigious position that is!

But just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly remembered what Yuri had said.

"To become the king of this city, to become the biggest capitalist."

By becoming a company dog, I proved that I was not the king.

What does it take to become king? He fell into deep thought at that moment.

Fortunately, there was the TT app, so he asked the experts for help.

TT group

David: "Men, what does it take to become king?"

Fujimaru Kaori: "Kill! Kill them until the blood flows like a river! Wait, is this a game or reality?"

David: "A game! Cyberpunk 2077"

Natsuki Subaru: "Kill! Kill them until their blood flows like a river!"

Tina: "If this were a game, my suggestion would be to kill! If you can't kill them..."

Then consider skipping class. It's just a game anyway, don't take it too seriously. If your real goal is to become king, just kill! Kill all your enemies! Recruit all your teammates! End of story.

Senior Xiaoyuan: "wryyyy! Kill!!"

Senior Xiaoyuan was silenced for ten minutes by the Law of Cycles.

The Law of Circles: "I'm very sorry, she had a minor head problem, but she has recovered. However, if newcomers don't understand something, they can ask the experienced customers; everyone's advice is very helpful."

At the same time, Kong & Bai replied simultaneously: "If this were this game, just kill. I recommend the corporate dog route: start killing from the beginning, and if you manage to escape, you'll have invincible Power!"

Empty: "Power!"

Bai: "More power!"

Pawa: "?"

Seeing the sudden veer off-topic, David seemed to understand something.

Since the big shots have said so, then let's have a good, satisfying slaughter!

Although the game felt incredibly realistic, his consciousness told him it was all fake. Since it was fake, he should listen to the experts and kill!

However, he didn't just blindly start killing. Instead, after receiving orders from his superior, he used his prosthetic body to cut off the leader's head the moment he saw him.

"This prosthetic body is incredibly powerful!"

At this moment, David finally understood why his mother had made him study in Araban; Araban's prosthetic body was too powerful.

However, he only enjoyed the game for a few dozen seconds before he was locked down for killing a fellow cybernetic colleague and then riddled with bullets.

TT

David: "No way! We can't beat them."

Kong: "Come on! Watch this video."

Kong sent a video

"Let my broken body become a raging fire"

While others eventually join Johnny Silverhand in creating the final ruins of the tower, Sora manages to start as a corporate dog and fight his way down from top to bottom.

While killing, Kong also provides some explanation.

"This game is simple, just follow the corporate dog route. At the start, we'll get a lot of powerful cybernetic bodies. All we need to do is hack Aragaki Network, and then do this! Like this, and like this again..."

David was dumbfounded; he never expected that there was such a way to clear the Desolate Tower.

In the game, Kong killed everyone from beginning to end, leaving no one alive.

With his hacking skills combined with superb physical abilities and computing power, he completed a massacre from top to bottom of the Desolate Tower, even easily taking down the legendary Adam's Hammer.

But he didn't get carried away. Although he looked incredibly agile in the game, he knew just how difficult it was. He had just tried again and was instantly killed by the security team in the deserted area.

The empty video is smooth and elegant throughout, while my own video gets instantly killed at the start.

However, David was not discouraged because he remembered what his teacher Yuri had said.

He wanted to become king, and at the same time, he remembered Alicia's invitation.

Is he an unknown nobody? Or is he a household name?

Since the game has given him this opportunity to try, he wants to become famous!
