I'm just an internet cafe owner

Thus, Katarina's first runaway ended with her getting lost and returning home. By the time she realized she was back in the city, Katarina, whose runaway had become known throughout the city, was immediately arrested by the guards.

Katarina: "My life is over!!!"

Chapter 421 Rimuru's Internet Cafe Experience (Bonus Chapter)

While Katarina was causing a scene, Rimuru, who entered the internet cafe on the same day as her, was doing something completely different.

Rimuru, a transmigrator slime with a system, thought he was playing a game online all by himself, while he was happily playing Civilization on his end.

The Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest inside his body also looked at the various options in front of him with a bewildered expression.

If a game in an internet cafe has multiple instances of the same character, as long as the internet cafe has spare machines, the extra instances can also be used to play the game.

"So that's how it works? What? The most powerful enemy?"

Verudela looked at the game descriptions in the internet cafe and immediately searched for the keywords.

This is an enemy strategy guide compiled by Tatsumi.

When Tatsumi started making game guides, he focused on basic strategies. He considered guides for advanced players, such as those who played against characters like Blank and Machine Gundam, and their playthroughs involved various high-level skillful maneuvers.

Tatsumi's strategy is simple and easy to understand; theoretically, anyone could beat any game.

Among them he

I did a ranking of various game bosses, and the Imitation Tear came in first place, and it was even first in two categories!

The strongest is the bionic teardrop, and the weakest is also the bionic teardrop.

Nothing special. If players are particularly honest and go in, as long as it's a realistic mode without any fancy tricks, most people will get kicked out every few times they try to enter.

Your older brother knows what you do, and he also knows what you know but have forgotten and don't use. Your older brother is more skilled than you are even if you're not good at it.

Therefore, without considering pure attribute and skill advantages, the Clones are arguably the most difficult boss of all. If you're weak, the Clones are infinitely strong; if you're strong, the Clones are even stronger.

That's why many people agree that this top ranking is justified. Defeating an enemy is easy, but defeating oneself is incredibly difficult.

To be honest, this thing is indeed weak. Once you take off your equipment, it honestly replicates your weakest stats. It swings its fists at you, while you use your greatsword and three wolves to attack it. You simply can't turn the tables on it.

As of now, it is unknown whether this method has a 99.9% success rate in defeating the bio-teardrop. One person failed because he had learned Bajiquan but forgot it. When he switched to a weapon to attack the boss, he was killed by the boss using Bajiquan.

This is why the Tear-like Imitation became both the strongest and weakest boss. And Veldora immediately became interested in this boss.

"I see! So that's how it is! This is how we challenge it? Come on! Powerful enemy, let me see just how strong you are!"

As a dragon, Veldora possessed immense strength. After inputting his own data into the Elden Ring, he easily arrived at the room of the Tear-like figure.

Then Veldora, the powerful storm dragon in Rimuru's world, was subdued by the Imitation Tear.

This isn't the most frustrating thing; the most frustrating thing is that the bionic teardrop is also slime-shaped, and it's gray slime at that.

"Are the slime race that powerful?"

While it was happily playing the game, Rimuru was feeling a buzzing in his head. As a slime, it had imported all its data into the game and begun a realistic simulation of civilization evolution.

Right from the start, he suffered his biggest blow: a barbarian invasion. For the thrill, he unlocked all difficulties in basic mode.

For a veteran player like him who had played Civilization, he felt very strong, especially after turning into a slime and having the Great Sage's assistance, he was simply invincible.

But once he actually started playing, he realized that this game was damn hard. Putting everything else aside, the barbarians came with three armies right away, and his warriors were all wiped out before he could even train them. Then the barbarians occupied his territory and started developing, leaving him completely bewildered.

I restarted the game and played it again. This time it was even worse. Because I wasn't human, my country was treated as a cult as soon as I discovered other countries at the start. Five surrounding civilizations attacked me at the same time, and more than a dozen other civilizations outside the game instantly became hostile after hearing about it.

"Ugh!!! Why is this game so hard?!"

Rimuru took off his glasses, feeling utterly devastated. Meanwhile, Veldora inside him was overjoyed: "The slime race is truly amazing."

Yes, in Veldora's eyes, even the Imitation Teardrop is a slime race.

Meanwhile, his friend Rimuru is also a slime, which practically means that the slime race is invincible!!

Rimuru slumped onto the table, seemingly having lost all purpose in life. Just then, Tatsumi looked at him and asked, "My friends, what game are you having trouble with?"

"Yeah! Because my appearance isn't human, everyone treats me as an enemy when playing Civilization. Waaah! It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Tatsumi seemed thoughtful about this: "Could you tell me in detail what happened in the game?"

Rimuru explained the situation to Tatsumi, explaining that because its slime form was so contrary to normal human understanding, it was mistaken for a villain when the game's real mode was activated.

"this…"

Tatsumi looked troubled. While playing the game, he had learned about it in detail. The cultivation of civilization could take the unscientific path of magic and metaphysics, or it could take the scientific path.

However, everyone in the internet cafe, regardless of whether they are human or not, has a human appearance. Even Spider-Man has now been given the appearance of a white-haired mature woman, so he can just use this appearance as the person in charge when playing games.

I've never encountered someone like Rimuru before, but Tatsumi quickly came up with a solution.

"You can become a human."

"Me? Is that okay?"

"Of course you can. In addition, if it's a real mode, you can try a propaganda war. Suzuki Satoru has experience in this area."

Tatsumi swallowed hard and continued, "Besides that, you can also try playing the DLC. I just asked the shopkeeper on TT, and if you want to play a game with a mix of different races and civilizations, you can use the official DLC or mods made by other players. It seems like the player 'Fanlou' made a mod with sixteen races called 'Game Life,' which is quite fun with over a dozen races fighting each other. If you don't want a free-for-all, you can add one or two more races to increase the difficulty. By the way, what about the world you live in?"

What does the world look like?

Upon hearing the question, Rimuru in his slime form pondered, "There are probably many people? Many beings who can speak and think, similar to me?"

At this moment, Tatsumi was troubled, but as the initiator of the basic guide for those with poor hand skills, how could he be stumped by such a thing?

"How about this, after I finish this guide, I'll go and see your world. Then, using your world as a template, we can create a civilized world, and together we can study how non-human beings can develop a civilization and how to get other races to accept it."

"But, isn't that a bit much trouble for you?"

"It's nothing, I just happen to have nothing to do lately."

He had already destroyed the empire, and now that a new country was being established, he was relatively free.

That's right, because building a nation only requires him to issue orders; he doesn't need to do anything himself. Besides, seeing how other races survive in another world is also a good thing for the future development of his own world.

Chapter 422 Rimuru Wants to Develop Civilization in His Own World~

Tatsumi followed Rimuru to another world, but Rimuru was still in a cave at that time.

"Do you live here?"

Hearing Tatsumi's question, Rimuru hopped around and said, "Yes, through the Great Sage, I seem to have gained a lot of skills here. Eh??"

"what happened?"

"It seems the Great Sage acquired many skills while playing the game... Wait! What did the Great Sage do?"

As if hearing Rimuru's question, the Great Sage of the System began to recall his own experiences. Like Veldora, he had gained access to the game after entering the internet cafe.

As a system, it originally didn't have the qualifications, but Tongxi discovered someone similar to herself and helped it awaken. She couldn't predict the future, but it could certainly manage things like playing games at an internet cafe.

As part of Rimuru's system, the Great Sage gained a row of skills during this trip.

"Ah! What are all these? A summoning bell? Ashes? Magic? Combat techniques? And firearms? I've only played a few rounds of Civilization, how come I have so many skills?"

Clearly, Rimuru is unaware that his internet access alone is equivalent to that of three people.

"What you're describing should all be within the Elden Ring..."

"Oh, it's from a game too?"

When Rimuru heard that it was something related to internet cafe games, all the slimes relaxed.

"It's not a good place to stay, let's go out for a walk!"

"Go go go! But how do we get out?"

Tatsumi took out a drill and introduced it, saying, "A drill from the world of Terraria, let's get started!"

"Wow!!!"

Rimuru looked at Tatsumi's digging speed with an envious expression.

"If you want, you can play Terraria or Minecraft tomorrow."

"Hey? Do some of these two also have them?"

"Of course, one game rewards a crafting platform, and the other allows you to choose your own items."

"That's great, I'll try it tomorrow too."

Rimuru followed Tatsumi and successfully exited the cave. As for the gate? For sandbox game players, unless it's a necessary passage, they'll simply dig in or out.

What? Where did you go in and where did you come out? That doesn't exist? I can roughly remember where I went in, but if I can't find it, I'll still choose to dig out in the direction I came from.

You've dug right in!

The human and the slime were walking out at a very fast speed. As they left, Tatsumi explained, "In the Four-Dimensional Internet Cafe, there are many beings like you who aren't human, but that's okay. The owner said that as long as someone has humanity, they're a customer. And someone with humanity is a companion. Besides… sometimes people aren't really human…"

At this point, Tatsumi's tone became somewhat heavy. The darkness of the Imperial Capital was something he could not even imagine. From the moment he occupied the Imperial Capital, it took him three days and three nights of killing to wipe out all the scum in the capital.

Simply put, it means the health bar is bright red, not including when the health bar is red.

After reading about these people's experiences, Tatsumi wondered how they could even be human. Dissecting pregnant women to guess the sex of their babies, cutting off children's genitals and sexually assaulting them.

The sight of it made him feel nauseous, and after killing it, he regretted it, regretting that he hadn't used even more cruel methods to torture it.

"You've seen... a lot of terrifying things, haven't you?"

"Yes."

Tatsumi readily admitted, "That's precisely why I want to help you. Given enough intelligence, monsters might have a higher moral standard than humans. At least monsters are driven by the law of the jungle; they'd rather kill than torture, but humans…"

Rimuru sighed, "Even though I live in a peaceful society, I've heard about these things before."

The two walked and talked as they left the cave and entered the forest. While wandering around the forest, Tatsumi and Rimuru saw a group of goblins nervously blocking their way.

Although they claimed to be blocking two people, all the goblins' eyes were actually on Rimuru.

They watched Tatsumi and Rimuru nervously, and one of the young goblins leading the group spoke up anxiously: "Strong one, what brings you to the front?"

"Eh? Um, nice to meet you, I'm a slime, my name is Rimuru, please take care of me!!"

Rimuru excitedly introduced himself, as this was the first time he had encountered intelligent beings since being transported to another world.

He clearly hadn't controlled his power, scaring all the goblins into kneeling down.

"Hey hey hey? What should I do?"

Rimuru glanced nervously at Tatsumi. Tatsumi clearly had leadership experience, while he was just a 40-year-old virgin working overtime…

Tatsumi shook his head: "This is your world. I'm just following you to see how all sorts of intelligent beings live here, but I won't interfere with your thoughts."
