I'm just an internet cafe owner

Kushina felt like she had asked for nothing; if it were that simple, Minato Namikaze wouldn't have fought for so many days.

"Your husband brought that on himself. Fighting directly without using the abilities of the Faded Ones is the hardest thing to do. Ratahn is the strongest demigod, and even when he loses his mind, he's not someone an ordinary person can match. That's when you need some tricks to skip class. But since your husband Ratahn can't beat the other ashes, forget about getting it. How about this, are there any very powerful beings in your world? Take the Soul-Summoning Bell to a grave or a place you remember and shake it. Maybe a few powerful beings will come to help you fight and you can get through it."

"Looking for a senior?"

"That's right, theoretically, Namikaze Mitsu..."

"There's a possibility of passing through the gate. If I find one or two people of similar strength and intelligence, it's not impossible to defeat them. Once I've beaten one, my attributes will snowball, and things will be much easier after that."

After the internet cafe closed, Kushina returned home and told Minato Namikaze what she had heard.

Should I ask a senior colleague for help?

This idea also intrigued Minato Namikaze. Unlike the forbidden techniques of legend, there are three ways to make a soul fight with the Soul Bell: the first is to use someone else's ashes, the second is to have a soul voluntarily help in the battle, and the third is to share a portion of one's own power so that someone else can summon one to fight.

The first option is unacceptable to Minato Namikaze, but the second and third options are indeed feasible.

His first thought was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he was too old, and Minato Namikaze felt that asking him for help would only result in a double kill. Then he thought of the founder of Hokage and the Second Hokage.

The first and second generation? Minato Namikaze and Kushina, who had also obtained the summoning bell, arrived at the first generation's tombstone late at night.

He shook the summoning bell before the grave, and with its ringing, souls gathered there. A man stood before Minato Namikaze as a cold wind blew.

"Haha, I never expected to encounter such a talented young person among the younger generation."

"Brother, he's not using anything forbidden..."

"Does it matter? He's not a bad guy, he's the Hokage, he summoned us with his own power."

"... "

Minato Namikaze not only summoned Hashirama Senju, but also Tobirama Senju. They never imagined that after death they would be able to meet their fellow villagers, even the future Hokage, in spirit form.

"Konoha looks pretty good now."

"Heh..." Tobirama Senju chuckled coldly and turned his head away. Unless Konoha faced a major crisis, Minato Namikaze would not help him no matter what.

Minato Namikaze was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to broach the subject. If he directly asked for help in a fight, it would make him seem incompetent. But what about a place like an internet cafe?

"That's right, I've encountered a formidable enemy. This enemy is one that neither I nor my teacher can defeat; it's him."

TT's video playback function was also thanks to Kushina's help in recording Minato's battle; otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain.

Chapter 42 Freebie

"It really is amazing." Hashirama Senju squatted down to watch the battle between Minato Namikaze and Rataen, a battle that made him feel incredibly excited.

"Where is this person? Can I fight him?"

"Sure! As long as..."

Minato Namikaze explained the principles of the Soul-Summoning Bell and stated that if someone is recognized, they can fight alongside the user. Hashirama Senju became even more excited after that.

"Big brother!"

Tobirama Senju wanted to warn him that there might be a problem, but Hashirama Senju simply stretched out his hand and wagged his index finger: "Anyway, we're all already dead, so what's there to be afraid of? Being able to fight against powerful beings from another world after death is already amazing!"

"Can…"

"It's alright~ Minato said that we can only be summoned during battles, so there's no need to worry about us affecting future generations' lives. Besides...aren't you excited?"

"I…"

"Tell me if you're excited or not!"

"excited."

His excitement stemmed not from the ability to fight, but from the discovery of another possibility for resurrection. Unlike the Impure World Reincarnation technique he had developed, this method of summoning resulted in less damage and allowed for the use of greater power.

Hashirama patted Tobirama on the shoulder: "Isn't that enough? Minato didn't want us to directly kill the enemy; he wanted us to fight alongside him to defeat the enemy and improve our strength. This is a good thing, so why not help?"

He saw the determination emanating from Minato Namikaze. Through the video, he could tell that this was an extremely powerful enemy, one that even he, in his prime, could not defeat. How wonderful it was to be able to challenge a strong opponent without any burden, together with his younger brother and juniors.

Hashirama Senju saw further ahead. He didn't know how Minato Namikaze had found such a powerful being, but he knew that if the current Hokage couldn't defeat such a formidable enemy, the appearance of such a powerful enemy in Konoha in the future would be a heavy blow to the village.

Twelve hours later, when the internet cafe reopened, Liu Yuan saw Minato Namikaze with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Boss, I remember it's okay to bring people from the ashes into the game, right?"

"Yes~ but you have to pay for theirs too. Me? Sure! You brought me two customers?"

"Okay, add two more. I have enough, so I'll give them one each."

"Okay~"

With a few simple steps, Minato Namikaze can now take the two souls from his ashes into the game to play.

But what if we say that? If we use the soul of a powerful being from our own world, that powerful being must be strong enough, and also able to adapt to the summoner's power. Because no matter how powerful the ashes are, their power depends on the summoner.

Like many legendary ashes, the reason why the summoned Faded One doesn't seem strong is because the Faded One itself isn't strong. But why is the Big Brother strong? Because the Big Brother can copy the summoner's attributes, weapons, and skills. This allows him to unleash a power greater than the sum of its parts.

If the summoned ashes cannot coordinate with the summoner, and the summoner is not strong enough, the ashes might just die from the boss sitting down on them.

Out of curiosity, Liu Yuanwei

come over.

Minato Namikaze once again found Rataen. For Minato, every battle was like being imprisoned. Unlike the Evil Omen Demon, who would teach Minato according to his own likes and dislikes, Rataen had lost his mind and would kill anyone who came near.

Then the problem arose: instead of using the Faded One template, he completely imported his own body data, which caused a problem: he did not receive the blessing.

In normal gameplay, because of the Blessing buff, you can wait a while to revive after death, or you can spend money to revive at the Blessing point if you don't want to wait. However, your body data is fully transferred, so dying means starting all over again.

Dying once means running all the way back from the initial respawn point, but Minato Namikaze discovered a feature that might be considered a bug. If he left behind the Flying Thunder God Technique mark, he could be teleported directly back after death.

The only downside is that, although it's supposed to be a realistic mode, if you get too far away from the boss in a boss fight, the boss will 'regenerate health'. But that's okay, because Minato Namikaze brought a stellar lineup this time.

The First and Second Hokage were still alive, but unfortunately the Third Hokage was too old. Besides, he discovered that his power could only sustain the First and Second Hokage temporarily in the Soul Bell. If there was another person, his spiritual power and chakra would not be enough.

On the battlefield, when facing Rataen once again, Minato Namikaze first used the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge the large arrow, and then shook the bell.

"Is this the great general? Such terrifying power..."

Hashirama Senju had lost his previous composure, and this feeling was even more terrifying than when facing a tailed beast. He didn't even feel such a strong sense of oppression when he fought Madara Uchiha.

Before he could finish speaking, a large arrow glowing with purple light pierced right through Hashirama Senju.

"... "

"... "

"... "

Both the ashes fell silent. Hashirama Senju, watching the dissipating body, sighed, "Such a powerful bow and arrow. I was distracted. Keep it up. I'm watching from the side."

As Hashirama Senju disappeared, Tobirama Senju sighed, "It seems it's just us this time. Minato, right? Your Flying Thunder God Technique is stronger than mine, but I am its creator!"

Behind Minato Namikaze, Liu Yuan watched the battle unfold. How to describe it? Flashy and slick!

Compared to ordinary people, ninjutsu is indeed powerful, especially by Tobirama Senju, who created countless forbidden-level ninjutsu. But unfortunately, the power of ninjutsu is insufficient.

Look at the weapons stuck in Rata's back. These weapons, let alone sticking into a ninja, could even kill him with a single blow. Yet, these weapons stuck in Rata's body couldn't even make him feel pain.

Inserting a kunai into Rataen? That's even more ridiculous than inserting a kunai into Susanoo.

The speed was quite fast, but when one person's skill coverage area was large enough, Tobirama Senju was killed by Hatsumi. Firstly, he was completely unfamiliar with the combat style of the border region, and had barely even fought against monsters with super-large size and maximum defense. Moreover, Rataen's speed was not slow either.

Minato Namikaze was speechless. He had brought his seniors to increase their chances of winning, but how come all of them were gone after just a few encounters? They didn't even last as long as the three wolves he summoned. At least the three wolves could dodge some attacks under his control. This time, it was definitely a free kill, but before he died, he wanted to let his two seniors see more about Rataen's abilities.

Although they were instantly killed and unable to participate in the battle, the two who paid can still enjoy the fight between Minato Namikaze and Rataen in their soul form.

Hashirama Senju finally witnessed Minato Namikaze's fighting style firsthand: the Flying Thunder God Technique for rapid teleportation, and the unleashing of firearms as if they were free. Even grenades couldn't penetrate Rataen's defenses.

But what if you could concentrate all the explosive power into one point using a Rasengan? In terms of explosive power, explosive tags and grenades are roughly the same. The advantage of explosive tags is that they can be stacked and their power can even be increased through ninjutsu.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious. It requires preparation and is very difficult to manufacture, while the hand grenade, after his research, has a production line that can theoretically be mass-produced.

His ninjutsu was incredibly advanced, and so was his technology. After experiencing true technology through Resident Evil, Minato Namikaze had been researching how to integrate ninjutsu and technology.

The only pity is that, apart from grenades, he's too stingy with his use of firearms! For example, he only has three 'small strategic remote-controlled bombs' given as a reward for completing Resident Evil 8. He used them once, but the effect was poor.

That thing is good for blowing up villages, but it's not really suitable for blowing up Rata'en.

Chapter 43 Useful Tables

"Tsk tsk, tragic! So tragic! There's nowhere to enhance my own ashes, and without enhancement, I'm too weak to beat the boss. But if I don't fight the boss, I can't get enhancement materials either. Tragic! So tragic."

Looking at Liu Yuan's dismayed expression, Kisara couldn't help but complain, "Boss, aren't you going to help them?"

"How can I help? They had to be so reckless as to play on the highest difficulty. I can't help them either. Let them play slowly; they'll beat the game eventually. By the way, you've got nothing to do right now, haven't you?"

"!!!"

Kisara sensed a conspiracy, quickly shook her head, and then conjured a pink knife out of thin air: "There are a lot of mosquitoes today, I'm slashing them."

"Heh, you can fool others with that, but you can't fool me. Since you're so free, come and help out!"

A proper internet cafe needs more than just games. Although it also offers TT (a gaming platform) services...

Chat software is a form of entertainment, but for people who don't like games, going online is torture.

So, how can we get people who don't like games to join in?

Liu Yuan set his sights on the legendary Office suite and Adobe suite. He'd earned a little money lately, enough to slightly expand his library of useful tools.

For software tools, you don't get a complete set after purchasing one; instead, you buy one, and the price increases with each subsequent purchase.

Fortunately, the prices for the first two items aren't expensive, starting at 10,000 yuan and capped at 1024 billion. In addition, Liu Yuan discovered something interesting: if he uploaded and polished his personal experiences to create animations, TV series, or movies for sale, he could save a lot of money.

The price dropped from 100,000 to 0 yuan, but the downside is that the revenue is split 50/50 with the system, and then 50/50 with the original author. In other words, the boss can only get 2.5% of the revenue.

But Liu Yuan calculated that even if he took it all, it wouldn't make much sense. As the boss, he had nowhere to spend money except for eating and drinking, and all the money he saved was invested in the shady system.

There's no rush to make movies or animations; Liu Yuan has simply bought the right to use a spreadsheet tool.

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and set the price at 5000. His strategy was simple: rip off one customer, break even on two, and make a killing on three. He knew all too well the financial resources of those present.

Leaving aside distant examples, let's talk about Fujimaru Kaori. In a recent robbery, she and Jeanne Alter each had at least...

+ funds. It's hard to say about Minato Namikaze, but judging from his wife's demeanor, getting this money out might be difficult, but it's possible.

Tina... skip this part.

Therefore, it's clear that this software was targeted for purchase. Recouping the initial investment means that any subsequent sales to new customers will be highly profitable. The target market is also very clear: customers in their local world who lack computers and require high-quality reporting capabilities.

However, before using it, Liu Yuan needed Mu Geng's help in a small way, such as promotion.

"Boss, I can't do it!"
