I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Boss, did you plan this all along?"

Kisara was shocked. She had always thought that Fujimaru Kaori's suggestion to "exchange resources" because she was broke was something that could be done in any world.

So, it seems only Fujimaru Kaori's world can do this?

"Otherwise what? If everyone in every world were to rob, money isn't something you can get by robbing. It's just that her world is special." (Monthly subscription group)

"I always thought you were the kind of boss who would make your subordinates do anything to make money, but I never expected... you have principles?"

"I'll take that as a compliment. Don't just stand there, help me out."

Liu Yuan tallied up his spoils, totaling 23,000 yuan. Although it was supposed to be 20%, he generously gave 5,000 yuan to Fujimaru Kaori. He figured he'd use it all eventually anyway, so he might as well give it to Fujimaru Kaori to give her more motivation in the future.

With the remaining ten thousand or so, we added another machine, and now we have two spare machines. It will be fine for new players or them bringing friends to play in the next few days.

Calculating the value, buying computers, setting up the new machines—it was already late at night by the time everything was done.

Looking at the time, Liu Yuan was about to go to sleep when Mu Geng suddenly grabbed his clothes.

"Boss~ It's late and quiet, how about playing games with the cute Kisara?"

"... "

Cute? Liu Yuan looked Mu Geng up and down. Cute, yes, but games and stuff... we have to get this going!

"Let's get this going! How about playing Minecraft today?"

"Sure! Boss, come to my world~ I can never seem to build a house properly."

"What's wrong with building this? Just put in a few blocks, a door, a bed, and it'll be fine, right?"

"You'll see when you come up."

Liu Yuan only realized after logging in that Mu Geng hadn't built the house badly; he'd built a coffin. A square coffin-shaped house with double wooden doors, and a few small yellow flowers stuck in the doorway.

Upon entering the room, I was surprised to find three torches on the bed for lighting.

What kind of house is this? Isn't it a standard coffin?

"My dear Miss Geng, your demonic aesthetic is truly unique..."

"Boss, please don't criticize me at this time, it really hurts!"

"Then cry in front of me."

"you!!"

Kogen was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

In the game, she turned around and kicked the log hard. Liu Yuan then took out a piece of wood and began lecturing: "I've seen some advanced building knowledge from experts. Come on! My dear Miss Geng, you don't want us to sleep in coffins every day in the game, do you?"

And so, the two of them successfully stayed up all night.

It wasn't until the next morning that the new guest brought by Fujimaru Kaori caught Liu Yuan's eye.

"Good morning, Fujimaru. I didn't expect that."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fujimaru Kaori coughed a few times, then introduced, "Jeanne d'Arc's corrupted version, just call her Black Jeanne."

"My name isn't Jeanne Alter!"

Black Jeanne wanted to resist, but for some reason, she felt a sense of apprehension in this shop, as if using violence here would lead to bad things.

Fujimaru Kaori continued, "I feel she's very talented, and since she was also quite lost and had nowhere to go, she came to the internet cafe with me. By the way, boss, I remember that the old man's ring can be used for online play, right?"

"That's right~"

"That's fine then. Let me show her around." After saying that, she turned to Jeanne Alter and introduced, "You can obtain the power of the Mad Flame here. Stop absorbing my power; I really don't have a single drop left."

The Berserk Frenzy skill requires mana. Once or twice is manageable, but Jeanne Alter's frequency is too high for her to handle. Even if she uses all her mana potions, she won't be able to withstand it. It's better to train her directly than to try and tough it out. Plus, having her around means you can compete with her for treasures.

And so, after the store closed.

"Madfire! Descend! Hahahahahaha!"

Alter Jeanne d'Arc appeared before Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew, her body wreathed in golden flames.

Fujimaru gave her a mission: to steal Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms and various valuable materials. In order to avoid making enemies everywhere, she specifically emphasized that Jeanne Alter could not kill anyone, not even with minor injuries.

"Matthew!"

"Senior, I can do it..."

Matthew raised his shield and stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka. The scorching flames made Matthew feel as if he were burning up, and even hiding behind the shield could not stop the flames from engulfing him.

However, just as she was fending off the flames, Elizabeth and Kiyohime, who had joined the fight midway, had their guns and fans snatched away.

"Hahaha, your gear is pretty good, it's mine now."

Jeanne Alter looked at the shield in Matthew's hand with a resentful expression. It was a Noble Phantasm, but unfortunately it was too big. If she took it, she wouldn't be able to leave effectively.

It's amazing. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to compete for a Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm, but after becoming a member of an internet cafe, the competition is incredibly fierce.

Now that we've got what we wanted, it's time to leave.

Jeanne Alter rode away on a dragon.

At the same time, the projected Roman replied solemnly, "It's confirmed; she exhibits a Grail reaction. She is from this singularity..."

Roman's voice made Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew's hearts sink. They never expected to encounter Jeanne Alter on their way to find Fujimaru Kaori. The good news was that Jeanne Alter didn't kill. The bad news was that Jeanne Alter stole their weapons. They had finally found some helpers, but now they had lost their Noble Phantasms and weapons, and their fighting power was no longer effective.

"Senior, what should we do?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered carefully. Based on the current situation, Jeanne Alter's demonstrated power should make victory possible. However, rushing in was unwise; what needed to be done now was to unite all available resources.

The power of unity, and the power of Fujimaru Kaori, are indispensable.

Moreover, he remembered that Fujimaru had said that she had a lot of weapons, and with those weapons, she should have no problem fighting.

At this moment, Fujimaru Kaori had no idea how much impact bringing Jeanne Alter to the internet would have.

Chapter 41 Minato Namikaze also needs to call in reinforcements.

"Flying Thunder God!"

"Spiral pills!"

"Spiral RPG!"

"Behold my ultimate move, the Flying Thunder God Double-Stage Spiral Grenade!"

"Holy crap! What is this?"

Even the well-mannered Minato Namikaze was stunned by Rataen's berserk skills, transforming into a meteor and falling from the sky. The flames in the sky made even Kushina, who was watching from outside the screen, feel her heart race.

With a huge explosion, Ratahn blew up the air.

Minato Namikaze did dodge using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but a strange thing happened. Just as he was using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Rataen suddenly made a sharp 180° turn close to the ground and crashed into him.

The message of death appeared on the screen, and at that moment, even the usually mild-mannered Minato Namikaze was stunned.

He took off his glasses and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Pfft, are you angry?"

Kushina poked Minato Namikaze's cheek from the side: "Your ninja way isn't about giving up like this."

"But…"

Minato Namikaze sighed. Three days had passed; three whole days of being killed by Rataen countless times. From being sniped by giant arrows before even seeing him, to having all his Flying Thunder God Marks destroyed by Rataen's combat techniques as he got close, and now...

This was the first time he had encountered such an ineffective opponent, and this was only because Ratan had lost his mind. He found it hard to imagine whether he could defeat Ratan if he were still rational.

He couldn't even defeat his own soldiers, could he?

He even used the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, but the summoned Death God was shattered by Ratahn's roar. The chains of the Four Directions Seal couldn't even hold the little pony beneath him.

Pure power combined with terrifying gravity magic—let alone challenging it, even just gazing at it would make the weak feel their hearts tremble.

His own ninjutsu seemed like a toy in the face of this magic that seemed capable of shattering stars.

"I think you should change your mindset. I've been observing Fujimaru and Natsuki's battles these past few days. Before each battle, they use a bell to summon powerful allies to fight. Could you do that? Or, can I help you?"

He was tempted for a moment, but looking at Kushina's growing belly, he shook his head: "It's okay, just play some casual games to relax. You can help me after the baby is born."

"It's a deal~"

"It's a word."

Seeing the couple suddenly showing affection, Liu Yuan and Mu Geng at the front desk both shuddered.

"Damn it, as someone who's never been in a relationship, all I want to do when I see this is burn the other person to the ground."

"?"

Having overheard this important information, Kisara turned her head, squinted her eyes, and asked curiously, "Boss, have you never been in a relationship?"

"No! Is dating more fun than games?"

This sentence stumped Kisaragi. In the past, her answer might have been about love. But now, the game was undeniably fun. Putting everything else aside, the joy of shooting zombies with Liu Yuan every night was something she could never experience in a relationship.

Especially after she and Liu Yuan embarked on the Chris route, a whole bunch of reliable teammates showed her what true camaraderie is. They would shoot together, and when they ran out of bullets, they would use knives to fight. The joy was incredible.

While the two were chatting, Kushina came over.

"Boss~ Kisara-chan~"

"Is there anything we can help you with? Don't worry, we can even help with childbirth, but... it will cost extra."

"No, the little one is still very comfortable in my belly. I'm here to ask on his behalf: is there anything that can help him defeat that great general?"

She turned to look at Minato Namikaze, knowing why he was working so hard. Her lover had said that he wasn't strong enough; he couldn't even defeat the Nine-Tails directly, so how could he protect her?

She was fighting desperately for the impending crisis and for the village's sake, just like Minato Namikaze. While she couldn't offer much immediate assistance, she could ask for advice. She was relatively free and didn't have any grand ambitions, so she had been observing the situation for some time.

She discovered that Liu Yuan knew a great deal of secrets, even how to complete the game and how to use the items. But perhaps because he knew too much, Liu Yuan wouldn't say anything proactively, only offering a few words when someone asked or when he saw something.

"Ratan? Fighting him requires no skill other than dodging, just hack and slash."

"What happened after that attack that came from the sky?"

"Dodge and keep attacking."

"... "
