I'm just an internet cafe owner

The game's reward is also incredibly fun: you get to become your in-game character in real life!

While they would never die, they would be completely powerless in this state.

A very fun game.

And now, the staff at the internet cafe are experiencing this game.

Because their brains are temporarily sealed, no one can think of a good way to pass the level.

So, Jibril approached Liu Yuan, not to ask for help, but to do what she'd wanted to do since entering the internet cafe: beat Liu Yuan up. Normally, this kind of thing is impossible in most games. But in this game, Jibril saw a possibility. Because Liu Yuan, like herself, had become a soft-bodied person with a round head, cylindrical body, and round hands.

Who is Liu Yuan? He's the owner of this shop! How could he possibly indulge Jibril?

"Xiao Ji, you forced me to this! Today I'll kill you!!"

Liu Yuan had already upgraded his privileges recently, so his thoughts wouldn't be blocked by the game. However, for the sake of enjoying the game, he voluntarily blocked his own thoughts and entered the game to play.

Then he and Jibril started fighting.

The two lizard-like figures were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows. Jibril first delivered an uppercut, knocking Liu Yuan to the ground, then proceeded to stomp on him repeatedly, laughing loudly as she did so: "Hahaha! With the boss dead, little Jibril shall rise to power!!"

As Jibril was being arrogant, Liu Yuan grabbed her leg and said, "Death? That's impossible! Come on, little Jibril, let's fall into hell together!"

Liu Yuan, holding Jibril, rolled off the cliff.

With the "death" of two people, Tongxi sighed, "You... sigh..."

As a system, Tongxi was naturally not restricted, but considering everyone's gaming experience, she didn't actively unlock the secrets. She just watched, but as she watched, the battle spread to her side.

"Left hook! Right hook! Monkey steals peach!!"

Jibril started to disregard all martial ethics, while Liu Yuan smugly mocked, "This game doesn't have organ settings, Jibril, you're dead meat, watch my dolphin jump!"

The so-called dolphin jump is a leap made by swinging the body from side to side while running. This type of jump can reach a super high speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

Liu Yuan twisted his hips left and right, dodging Jibril's attacks while constantly accelerating. When he felt the speed was about right, he stuck Jibril to his body with his buttocks and then jumped off the cliff with her.

"I will definitely come back!!!"

Jibril vowed that even if she were resurrected, she would use her ass to knock Liu Yuan down!

However, when she tried, a small accident occurred: she accidentally sent Tongxi flying.

Tongxi originally didn't want to participate in this farce; she felt it was too boring and meaningless. But the moment she was thrown into the air, she joined the fray.

Liu Yuan: "Tongxi! Let's throw her down together! Wait, I told you to throw her down, not me! Ah!!"

Kisara: "No! Hitomi, I'll make you pay for this in blood! What are you doing, Alicia?"

Alicia: "My lovely Kisara, tonight, you're mine! Let's fall into our own little world!"

Kisara: "This isn't home! This is a pit! A pit!!"

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Yuna Takashima cried out, "This is a puzzle game! A puzzle game! Stop messing around. And Chelsea! You'll be fine if you fall; you'll come back to life."

Chelsea's entire body was floating in the air, struggling to grab onto Yuna Takashima's legs. However, Yuna Takashima clearly felt her body sliding downwards.

Chelsea: "No, I don't want to die, waaaaah!"

Leticia walked over, knelt down, and gently pried Chelsea's hands open: "Have a safe journey!"

Just as she was about to let go, she heard a sound behind her and turned around. The ball formed by Liu Yuan, Jibril, Tongxi, Kisaragi, and Alicia fighting together crashed into her, and all eight of them fell down at the same time.

Only Makise Kurisu and Sherry remained, sitting on the ground watching the group fight. To be honest, it was quite interesting to see a bunch of round, cute, and cuddly mollusks fighting.

but

Makise Kurisu, however, said expressionlessly, "This is really a child's game."

Sherry, standing to the side, turned to look at Makise Kurisu and punched her current character's chest three times: "Are you angry?"

No!

Shirley punched her three more times.

Are you angry?

No!

Just as Sherry was about to make another move, Makise Kurisu stood up and lifted Sherry up in one swift motion: "No!!"

So what started as eight people holding a ball became ten. At first, everyone knew who was who, but after the group was shuffled, the bunch of soft-bodied people couldn't tell who was who anymore.

Right now, everyone's in a state of "I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, but I'm about to go on a killing spree!"

Chapter 430 Rookie Itsuka Shido and Orimura Ichika

Human: Fall Flat is a game so simple that any single-player game, even without using their brain, could theoretically be completed in ten to thirty minutes. If you do use your brain, some skilled players could even finish it in a few minutes.

If you're playing alone, the game system has very little impact on your thinking. Even players in strategy groups can complete the game through sheer instinct, without needing to think about how to win. However, with more people playing, the thought process shifts from figuring out how to win to the game itself.

Instead, the focus shifted to how to kill one's own teammates. Since death was an invincible part of the game, players could complete it anytime they wanted, turning the game into a massive brawl. However, Bronya and the bomb-wielding Rasel, who were working as staff members, didn't participate in this brawl. Instead, they rationally led the chaotic group through the game.

Before they knew it, it was already seven in the morning. In just half the night, all the employees from the four branches and the main store had cleared three levels. The ten of them fought from beginning to end, and the fighting style was incredibly exciting.

Yes, the chaotic melee wasn't like the fog in the animation; several people were actually stuck together, outwitting and outmaneuvering each other. There was even a time when one person's hand was stuck to the edge, and the other nine were clinging to her, threatening to drag her into the mess.

With one hour left before opening, everyone stopped playing the game. After all, games only block the brain from thinking about how to quickly complete levels, not from completely blocking the player's brain. When it was time to start work, everyone spontaneously stopped their entertainment.

As Jibril disembarked, she swung her arms excitedly and exclaimed, "Phew, that was so much fun! Boss, let's continue tonight! Tonight I'm going to beat you so badly you can't get up from the ground!"

Kisara added, "Add one!"

Liu Yuan was unfazed by their provocation. He revealed a wise smile: "Come on! Even if all eleven of you come together, you can't catch me."

Liu Yuan has his own special skills; as a contortionist, dolphin jumps are just a basic skill for him.

While chatting, they all returned to their respective branches. Liu Yuan and Mu Geng continued to help Alicia at branch number four, while the others returned to their own stores to prepare for the opening.

With the release of the new game, two new employees joined the third branch.

"Where is this place?"

"Huh? Where's Kotori?"

At the entrance of branch number three, two boys, one with black hair and black eyes and the other with blue hair and brown eyes, looked on with confusion as they headed towards the store.

A boy named Ichika Orimura asked curiously, "Excuse me, where is this place? I remember... I'm here to register at school..."

On the other side, a boy named Itsuka Shido also wore a thoughtful expression: "I remember I was getting ready for bed when my sister called me..."

"Where am I?!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

The two people had never met before, yet they had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if they were the same kind of people.

Just as the two were about to introduce themselves, Kinji Toyama arrived at the internet cafe.

"Huh? A newbie?"

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

Itsuka Shido spoke first, asking questions, while Toyama Kinji introduced, "This is the Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe. Here you can get everything you want. I can sense that we are the same kind of people."

"?"

Ichika Orimura frowned. Just as the black-haired man in front of him had said, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to have a special connection with him.

These three people, who are not similar in gender, actually have a sense of mutual appreciation.

Even Ichika Orimura felt an urge to become sworn brothers with the person in front of her.

Shido Itsuka's situation is similar; he's an ordinary high school student with a seemingly average younger sister and a best friend. Although the world he lives in experiences a disaster called Spacequake, his life is generally quite ordinary.

But looking at the two people in front of him, he inexplicably felt a sense of kinship.

Ichika Orimura spoke first: "I don't have any dreams, I just want to live an ordinary life. But my experiences have made my future full of darkness!"

Ichika Orimura inexplicably activated his mecha, known as IS, in his world, becoming the world's only male pilot. This forced him to attend an all-girls school, which greatly displeased him. He only wanted to ease the financial burden on his only family member, his beloved older sister, but instead, he was forced to attend such a strange school.

Itsuka Shido: "I only want to live an ordinary life with my sister, but my world is not ordinary. If..."

If I could, I would like to protect my younger sister.

Itsuka Shido doesn't have many dreams. If you had to pick one... find a girlfriend? Of course, that's just a thought. For him, although the life he and his sister live together is a little tough, he's already content with his ordinary life, with his lovely sister waking him up every day.

He only prayed that his city wouldn't experience a spacequake, and that his sister could live a happy and ordinary life.

In that instant, Kinji Toyama knew that the two people in front of him, like himself in the past, wanted to be ordinary people and live ordinary lives. But as the tranquility of their lives was disrupted, they naturally wanted to live lives different from ordinary people.

These two, like himself, were actually forced into the incident and had no choice but to do things they hated or even loathed.

Thinking of this, Kinji Toyama's expression turned serious.

“I understand. Maybe it’s because we’re the same kind of people that we feel a sense of kinship? Let me ask you a question: Do you want to live an ordinary life with your family, loved ones, and friends, a life where you can protect them even if anyone targets you, and where no one dares to mess with you?”

Upon hearing this, both Ichika Orimura and Shido Itsuka nodded subconsciously.

Looking at the two people who resembled him, Kinji Toyama extended an invitation: "Come on! I'll help you become stronger. When that happens, you can just beat up anyone who gets in your way of living a normal life."

Itsuka Shido asked worriedly, "Is this okay? Fighting isn't a good idea, is it?"

Itsuka Shido was just an ordinary high school student. He'd gotten into fights before, but in his mind, such behavior wasn't good. And could such behavior really allow him to live an ordinary life? He didn't quite believe it.

"This is a technique my boss taught me. Trust me, it will allow you to live an ordinary life in every sense of the word."

Kinji Toyama's expression gradually deepened; he believed Liu Yuan's words without a doubt.

Chapter 431 Kinji Toyama Leads a Newcomer to Experience How to Be a Gatekeeper

Just as he was trying to recruit newbies, Accelerator walked into the internet cafe, limping. Previously, he had a limp on his right leg, but this time it was his left.

The reason he was lame was simple: earlier that day, while he was beating up thugs in the alley, he encountered some thugs bullying Shirai Kuroko. Could Accelerator tolerate that? He rushed in and gave them a good beating.

Finally, he did a cool jump, carrying Shirai Kuroko and leaping off a five-story building. Because he wasn't using his superpowers, he twisted his ankle on the way down. Accelerator felt like he'd offended someone, both his head and feet.

No matter what kind of power one gains, one will definitely twist their ankle.

Today, Accelerator, who came to the internet cafe, saw the trio that had inexplicably gathered at the door and asked curiously, "Newbies?"

"Yes, a newbie like me."

Kinji Toyama didn't know what the two of them were going to go through, but after living in an internet cafe for so long, he understood one thing: only by becoming stronger could he do what he wanted to do.

Although he was no longer an ordinary person, he could now use the power he gained from the internet cafe to become an ordinary high school student. He had even learned all sorts of basic knowledge in the Red Alert world, and planned to go to Tokyo University and start a small, ordinary company in the future. Just thinking about this kind of life made Kinji Toyama feel like he had been elevated.

As for who should take the blame for the problem? It's Aria, of course; she owes a lot of money. At her current rate of work, it will take her at least ten years to pay off what she owes.
