I'm just an internet cafe owner

At the same time, those organized by Lelouch believed in his words even more and were more determined to achieve the goals he set.

Stop the world wars and unify all nations and peoples by setting the strategic goal for four hundred years from now, for the extraterrestrials who may descend upon this world.

At the same time, Lelouch also used the base construction vehicle to transform the entire Cape of Good Hope into a super-large military base, and from this military base, he sent a communication to everyone in the world.

"Hello people all over the world, my name is Lelouch vi Britannia. Now I have to tell people all over the world a sad fact: the earth is about to be destroyed."

"The destruction was not caused by war, nor by natural disasters, but by an alien invasion."

This communication explained the Dark Forest Theory, the imminent appearance of extraterrestrials on Earth, and the supposed lock-on of the laws of physics. Furthermore, at this moment, 60% of the world's physicists spoke out, and astronomers further elaborated on the mysterious disappearance of the Centaurus constellation observed in recent days.

The department said it out loud.

In that instant, the whole world was in an uproar.

In the end, Lelouch revealed his purpose.

"By chance, I obtained the technology left behind by two civilized star systems through quantum entanglement. Therefore, I, Lelouch vi Britannia, hereby swear that I will use this technology to stop the war on this planet. The war must stop. In the distant universe, we will face an even more terrifying enemy. We must concentrate our strength and wisdom and fly out of the solar system together to escape the technological blockade from the Protoss."

"We must work together to develop the resources of the entire solar system and build a powerful enough space fleet to fight against the Protoss. If we fail, we will all die."

According to Lelouch's explanation, aliens don't need guides, because for them, killing everyone would make the planet theirs.

Many people in power on this planet are indifferent to the future; they only care about immediate gains. But…

After saying all this, Lelouch issued an ultimatum to everyone.

"I, Lelouch vi Britannia, will use swift and decisive means to expel those who wish to continue the war. However, I will give you one month. During this month, you may choose to unite the world and jointly develop space, or you may choose to continue the war and challenge me. In this month, I will kill all commanders and leaders who attempt to continue the war."

After saying all that, Lelouch also demonstrated his strength.

At that moment, the entire world was stunned. What did they see? Countless tanks were rolling out of the armory one after another.

On this vast expanse of land, the numerous airports further demonstrate the threat posed by the Cape of Good Hope to the entire world.

If it were just these steel torrents, they would at most be shocking. But in Lelouch's video, they saw massive, damaged warships, clearly not Earth technology.

In addition, there are neat rows of Titans of various models, but unlike the mechs in this world that move on wheels, these mechs walk on their feet.

Various defensive and offensive facilities, as well as superweapons.

Yes, people saw the temporarily formed Chrono Legion soldiers teleporting back and forth on the ground, and they also saw a group of Rhino Tanks teaching the mechs what it means to stick together.

What's even more disheartening is that these tanks can turn around incredibly fast.

The Iron Curtain further demonstrated to the world the true extent of technological disparity. Tanks that had activated the Iron Curtain were impervious to artillery shells, missiles, and any other means of attack.

Lelouch found it strange that his father hadn't directly declared war. In fact, all the armies of Holy Britannia ceased their fighting after Lelouch's announcement and even began promoting peace and common development within their own territories. What puzzled Lelouch even more was that his father had replaced some war-minded administrators in certain regions with peace-loving administrators—this was abnormal.

However, the wars in many places have not stopped, but Lelouch has his own way of making them temporarily stop the war, which is assassination.

The method of assassination was simple. He first invited the machine gunners to come and find Lelouch, who had received the message but ignored it and continued to fight. He also made them witness what a real assassination was.

Piloting the Ronin mecha, Suzaku, empowered by the Iron Curtain Particles from the superweapon, directly withstood everyone's firepower and, right before everyone's eyes, chopped down the commander and command post who were still continuing the war.

Even so, Lelouch discovered that his father still seemed to have no intention of continuing the war.

Something's wrong! Something's wrong!

Lelouch fell into deep thought. According to his plan, his father would definitely send troops to attack him, but now the entire army was standing still and even helping him spread the Dark Forest Theory and the alien invasion.

On the contrary, some small countries have never stopped fighting. Although Suzaku drove the Titan and killed everyone until everyone stopped, Lelouch could sense that these people were spying on him.

Something's not right, this is very wrong. He planned to ask Yuri for the specific reason when the internet cafe reopened.

However, when he entered the internet cafe after its opening, he saw Alicia looking at him as soon as he stepped inside.

He knew Alicia, a lively and adorable girl who was like a fairy. She was definitely not looking at him because she was interested in him, but rather... at the boss's behest?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

“My sir, I sense you’re troubled. Is there anything you can talk to Alicia about?”

Alicia handed Lelouch a bottle of iced drink. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke. In his opinion, the staff at the internet cafe were very trustworthy.

After listening to Lelouch's description, Alicia understood his predicament. Simply put, what his father did was completely different from what he had imagined; the war he had envisioned had not even occurred, and instead, there was only a group of people eyeing alien technology.

Alicia spoke up: "I don't yet know the specifics of your world, but have you considered this possibility, guest? You fabricated the lie about aliens for the sake of world peace. Then, could it be that your father's war against the world also had its own motives?"

"Do not…"

Before Lelouch could finish speaking, Alicia whispered:

"Don't think about whether what he did was right or wrong, but rather whether his goal is the same as yours. If his goal is the same as yours but his methods are different, I believe you can communicate well."

Lelouch was stunned. Indeed, he had always thought about his father's incompetence and cruelty, but could he have some hidden secrets like him?

Thank you for your guidance.

"If you want to express your gratitude, how about buying some snacks and drinks for the people around you?"

Alicia started her sales pitch. As a shop assistant, Alicia was very responsible. Now, she could not only guide customers to their machines, but also, like Liu Yuan, help some customers solve some of their life problems through talk therapy.

Lelouch sat down in his seat and placed the pizza he had just bought down next to C.C. C.C. asked curiously, "Have you fallen for that girl?"

Upon hearing this, Lelouch shook his head: "No, it's just... a very strange feeling."

"I agree with that feeling. When I saw her, I also felt a strange sensation. I felt like she was watching me and appreciating me. Isn't that amazing?"

"really…"

While they were chatting, Kisara whispered in Liu Yuan's ear, "Is this really okay? I feel like Alicia has gained a group of followers through Yuri, right?"

"If she does well enough, it's not a big problem. If Alicia does a good enough job, she could become the mascot of the event in the future, but I think the chances are slim."

"why?"

"Because she loves people too much, but this internet cafe... has a lot of inhuman things here..."

Alicia loves not just people's appearance, but also their humanity. For example, Alicia might not like Minecraft redstone players... because redstone players have lost their humanity.

Chapter 417 New Game, Civilization

Inside the internet cafe, Liu Yuan unusually gathered all the staff in the main store.

"Boss, are there any new games today?"

Leticia was the first to ask a question. Based on her understanding of Liu Yuan, she knew he rarely gathered everyone together. Even on the days when games were added regularly each month, it was always the group that gathered voluntarily.

The fact that Liu Yuan has called everyone over proves that he's definitely going to add games, and some of them are quite important.

Liu Yuan gave an affirmative answer to Leticia's question.

"Yes, this time we're adding a large game, but it probably won't be available until you guys get your hands on it, because it might have a few issues."

Liu Yuan pinched a slit between his index finger and thumb, showing everyone just how tiny it was. But in reality, this tiny slit was the universe at his fingertips.

civilization.

The game Liu Yuan bought is Civilization, which includes the entire Civilization series and covers some other Civilization games.

This game mode is the same as the original game, allowing players to choose which series to play. There are currently ten series in total, so players can choose whichever series they like.

However, when players enter the real mode, they will engage in a true battle of civilizations.

From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

From slave society to feudal monarchy, and then to civilized society and even space civilization.

Players can experience true joy of civilization in this game.

In the game mode, players need to make different choices depending on the series, so as to evolve their civilization into the world's number one or even the universe's number one.

However, the real mode is a true time-killer game. In real mode, there is no concept of turns. Once the development direction and strategy are determined, the civilization led by the player will develop firmly in that direction.

As for how it will ultimately develop, Liu Yuan doesn't know.

But based on his experience, beginners will most likely be wiped out by the barbarians.

Don't ask Liu Yuan how he knew. When he first played Civilization, he neither read the tutorial nor understood how it worked, and he was wiped out by the Manchus.

However, it wasn't a big problem. After Liu Yuan became more skilled at it, he was able to do anything.

The reason Liu Yuan chose Civilization over Hearts of Iron is simple: Civilization offers a realistic experience similar to Hearts of Iron, and players can customize their own civilizations, deciding how they play and what they do without worry.

That's why Liu Yuan required his employees to understand the game. Because this game is extremely difficult to master; whether it's choosing policies, selecting technologies, or engaging in diplomatic communication, it's unmatched by any other game available in internet cafes.

This was actually because Liu Yuan showed mercy. If he hadn't, he would have directly put the spores on the shelf, and the brain cells of the machine would probably have been burned away.

Even so, the customers of internet cafes probably can't predict how their civilization will develop in the future.

As Liu Yuan explained the game, all the shop assistants looked shocked.

"Is there really such a game? Boss, is the world in this game the real world? Are we manipulating a real future?"

Liu Yuan shook his head: "Actually, no, it's almost entirely system AI."

But Leticia asked, "If it's AI, how can it simulate the entire world?"

"Because this was truly created by the gods, and many other worlds helped build it, and..."

A planet that develops into an interstellar civilization might have a population of a few hundred billion at most. Compared to worlds where entire galaxies are destroyed at the drop of a hat, that's actually not a large number.

This sentence left everyone in the internet cafe feeling dizzy, but Tongxi calmly explained, "If you can't understand, just consider it a feature of the game. Nothing in the game is real life, unless..."

"unless?"

Everyone looked at Tongxi, who in turn looked at Liu Yuan: "Unless the boss is in a good mood and turns the game world into the real world, right?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, so you can play without worry. If it really became the real world and life became individual life forms, this game wouldn't be released; it would go against the natural order!"

At this point, Liu Yuan couldn't help but worry about the future customers of his internet cafe.

Seeing Liu Yuan's worried expression, Mu Geng asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with this game?"

"There are no problems, I'm worried about the players. But never mind, there are so many players now, and many of them dream of world domination, so this kind of comprehensive game is indeed suitable for them."

This game's real mode not only allows for simulation management, but also lets you fully integrate your own data and experience the joy of destroying the world.

This alone shows how terrifying this game is. After the baptism of Skylines, the current game players are gradually showing signs of becoming a natural disaster, and it is known that this game will be released soon.

Wait a minute? A natural disaster?

At this moment, Liu Yuan fell into deep thought. After hesitating for a long time, he silently added a mod called "Catastrophe" to the game. The mod included Zerg Invasion, Demon Invasion, and the Purge Protocol.

Yes, when players reach a cosmic civilization in Realistic Mode, they can activate the DLC to experience a more exciting civilization survival experience.
