I'm just an internet cafe owner

Yoshino listened with a half-understanding, while Tohka asked curiously, "Do you like Shido?"

"Big brother? I..."

Before Yoshino could speak, Yoshina blurted out, "Yoshino has fallen for this lucky freak!"

"Hmm... I like it..."

Yoshino blushed and nodded. She loved being held by Itsuka Shido; it was warm and comfortable. She wanted more hugs, but could she really accept being hugged?

"Do you like it? Then Yoshino... do you want to know what Shido has done for us, for this world?"

"What...did you do?"

Tohka recounted what Itsuka Shido had done, and Yoshino covered her mouth after hearing it.

"He did this for us... no... Shido doesn't even know us, why would he do this?"

Yoshina then realized that she could freely control her powers after entering Shido's household. This made her feel a sense of reverence for the God of Cycles, but at the same time, she admired Itsuka Shido the most. Itsuka Shido had done so much for Tohka, for her, and for the future, so-called unseen Spirit…

Tohka spoke softly, "Because he didn't want to see tragedy. He didn't want to see us killed because the world rejected us. He also didn't want to see us hurt others because of our power going out of control. He's a good person, a gentle person. I've been reading a lot of books lately, and they say good people are rewarded. I'm an idiot, I have nothing but power. Shido is so gentle. He secretly spent a lot of money building an orphanage and taking in orphans. He also donated so much food and supplies to impoverished areas around the world. He also donated a lot of money to protect endangered animals. He has so many dreams, he's so gentle."

Tohka didn't learn many words, but she knew that Itsuka Shido was a very kind and gentle person, and that good people should be rewarded.

"Shido has done so much by himself, and I want to help him. But it's not enough for me alone. You're a spirit too, can you help Shido with me?"

Yoshino's eyes were a little red, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What can Yoshino do?"

Yoshino has lost her previous memories, but as she listens to what Itsuka Shido is doing, the word "good person" comes to mind.

She finally understood why Itsuka Shido radiated such warmth. It was because he was a good person, and at that moment, Yoshino felt ashamed of having thought of Itsuka Shido as a bad person.

Yoshino has some memory loss, but she understands one principle: she cannot let good people feel disheartened, nor can she let gentle people feel cold-hearted. If they truly feel disheartened, she will use her own power to absorb all the coldness into herself.

At this moment, Yoshino also had her own realization.

Tohka lowered her head and thought, "Shido told me that he needs money to do these things, lots and lots of money. So what we need to do is make money."

"Making money? But Yoshino can't do anything..."

"No, you can do it, and so can I. Shido told me that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We need to learn, we need to improve ourselves. Only in this way can we help Shido..."

"study?"

"Um…"

Tohka took out one

"This is a book," Tohka said confidently. "Besides reading, there are a few other things we can do: mining and planting trees."

"Mining?"

Tohka nodded and said, "Yes, whether it's gold, silver, various precious metals, or oil and natural gas, as long as we dig them up, we can sell them for a lot of money. I saw on TV that some countries are very, very rich by selling these things. As long as we make money from mining, we can help Shido save a lot of pressure. Although we can't develop sustainably, we can learn while mining, and when there are no more mines, we can use our knowledge to help Shido."

"Mining...isn't it tiring?"

Tohka shook her head seriously: "Absolutely not. Look at this."

She pulled out a pickaxe, a prop that the Law of Cycles had created as a hobby, following the rules of the Minecraft world. For the Law of Cycles, creating such a prop was difficult. But with existing rules, she could simply copy and paste them, making them usable by anyone she fancied.

The Circular Principle gave this to Tohka when it learned that she wanted to make money, since Tohka couldn't go to internet cafes because she was a minor, and also because she was too stupid to play games that required intelligence.

Thus, the Law of Cycles gave Tohka a way out: mining.

Finding just one cubic meter of gold would net you over a billion. However, the Circular Principle, as the item provider, will purchase one cubic meter of gold for a price of one billion, with 50% of that going to the Circular Principle as a share.

Of course, she had to give half of that 50% to Liu Yuan as a tribute; the remainder was what truly constituted the "circle of profit." After all, Liu Yuan was the middleman, and middlemen take a hefty cut. Since Liu Yuan, as the middleman, had received the money, many things could be resolved with his help.

Tohka didn't go mining before because it was too hot underground, and she couldn't stand it. But Yoshino's attribute is ice, so if she could help resist the underground temperature, mining would be much easier.

Yoshino clenched her little fists as she listened to Tohka's advice.

"Yoshino, you should help too."

Yoshino shouted, "Is it because Yoshino fell for that perverted good guy?"

Yoshino's face turned slightly red. The thought of being protected made her heart race.

Seeing that she had gained a companion, Tohka also awakened her powers and stopped holding back. She pulled out a pink pickaxe and introduced it: "This is the pickaxe I was talking about. By adding our power, this pickaxe can pick rocks and metals, and then sell the metals. We can't sell gold directly, as it would affect the financial system. But I have channels to sell it, and besides that, we can plant trees. The demand for wood is huge, and it's very expensive to buy it. We can help Shido stockpile wood in advance and prepare it for him when he needs it! I want Shido to know... that he's not alone in fighting for the betterment of the world. He has us by his side."

"And Yoshino too!"

At this moment, Yoshino made a final decision to join in. At this time, Itsuka Shido was unaware of the profound changes that had occurred to the spirits' thoughts in his world. Liu Yuan, however, learned about some of Tohka's actions through the Law of Cycles.

However, he has no obligation to tell her, and Itsuka Shido will not tell her such a thing unless she asks him about the Principle of the Circle.

The two onlookers are now waiting to see how Itsuka Shido will react when he sees his Spirit has stockpiled so many resources for him, as he's about to change the world.

Chapter 452 The Shield Hero Enters the Internet Cafe~

As usual, Itsuka Shido came to the internet cafe. But just as he entered today, he saw a man. The man looked very young, probably around twenty years old.

"Excuse me, where is this place? I remember..."

A young man named Naofumi Iwatani, with a shield on his arm, looked around curiously: "Have I transmigrated again?"

Originally, Hitomi from branch number three was going to come and help, but when she saw Itsuka Shido actually making contact with the new customer, she and Sherry chose to stand by and watch. If Itsuka Shido couldn't win over this new customer, then they would take action.

The internet cafe manager could indeed guide customers, but Tongxi knew she wasn't as freakish as Liu Yuan. Look, Liu Yuan now has his own fan club. Zhiguo's fan club, on the other hand, is entirely male.

"This is the third branch of the Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe. Hello, my name is Itsuka Shido."

"Hello…"

Naofumi Iwatani introduced himself, while Shido Itsuka asked curiously, "Is there something you're wondering about?"

Upon hearing the question, Naofumi Iwatani asked in a low voice, "Internet cafe? Are you here to use the internet? Why do I feel like something's off here..."

"Strange? I find it perfectly normal. Want to give it a try? Here, you can get everything you want."

"Everything? Even power?"

"Of course you can, and judging from your appearance, you must be a time traveler, right? Can you tell me about some of your experiences?"

"Okay!"

Although Itsuka Shido looks very young, Iwatani Naofumi has a strange sense of security.

Iwatani Naofumi had been to internet cafes before, but this was his first time visiting one as lively and filled with all sorts of people. So, out of curiosity, he followed Itsuka Shido into the internet cafe.

Through the exchange, he learned a lot of information. At the same time, Itsuka Shido also listened to Iwatani Naofumi's introduction.

He was summoned to another world as the Shield Hero, but he seemed very weak, and was looked down upon by the king of the country he was summoned to, even...

Thinking of all this, Itsuka Shido spoke up: "Something's definitely not right here. I think you might be caught in a conspiracy. Being summoned to another world at the same time... something just doesn't feel right..."

"A conspiracy? But I'm the weakest hero, what kind of scheme could I possibly have..."

After pondering for a long time, Itsuka Shido shook his head: "I'm sorry, my thinking can't provide you with effective help. Here I recommend someone to you. The owner of this shop, he can answer all your questions."

"really?"

"Seriously, trust your boss, and you'll feel completely secure."

Itsuka Shido felt that he was the only one who wasn't a girl, otherwise he might have fallen for Liu Yuan directly.

"Is that so? Then I'll give it a try..."

The Shield Hero called out to Liu Yuan, who became excited to see a newcomer wanting to ask him some questions.

"Newcomer! Long time no see, newcomer! I'm going to check them out~"

Liu Yuan arrived at Branch 3, found Itsuka Shido, and saw the Shield Hero beside him.

"Hello, Naofumi Iwatani, I'm the owner of this shop. How can I help you?"

The Shield Hero didn't know how to start, but Itsuka Shido spoke up for him: "If I understand correctly, he thinks he's weak, and he's already caught in a vortex without realizing it, but I don't know how to comfort him..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I see. Another transmigrator, and one whose abilities are weak, right?"

"Um…"

Have you ever played video games?

"I've played it..."

"Then you should know the role of support, right?"

The Shield Hero was stunned. He seemed to have never heard of this phrase before, even though he was happy to play the main DPS role.

"Support...isn't the point of clearing dungeons faster? As long as there are enough DPS characters, right?"

Seeing the pensive young man before him, Liu Yuan sighed: "It seems you play a lot of single-player games, but when it comes to multiplayer co-op games... a support character is always in short supply! Support might not make you progress faster, but it will definitely make your journey more comfortable, unless it's a really bad support..."

Shido Itsuka understands this point well: "Indeed, in LOL, the support role can be any role. But without a support to protect the carry, it's very difficult for them to get ahead."

Liu Yuan continued, "They actually look down on support players? You look down on yourself too? Then I personally suggest you leave this country."

"But... I'm very weak..."

Liu Yuan patted the person in front of him on the shoulder: "Let me ask you, do you believe the words of that stupid king in another world who has never even played a game and is living in a monarchical autocracy, or do you listen to us netizens who come from various worlds and live in various developed worlds? Anyway, netizens only talk nonsense and attack with keyboards, but if you don't do what the king wants, he'll take your life!"

Hearing this, the Shield Hero trembled. Liu Yuan continued, "And have you ever considered that your summoning was also a conspiracy? Just like you appeared here because I had my eye on the money in your pocket, then what is the purpose of summoning your king? Is it really to deal with that so-called disaster? Forgive my bluntness, but if the disaster can only be solved by summoning so-called time travelers, then it wouldn't matter if this country were destroyed."

"Senior... what should I do?"

"What should we do? I do have a slightly better plan. Since that country looks down on you, and even your teammates look down on you to some extent, you might as well just leave. Ask the king for some travel expenses and leave on your own. I dare say, if you don't leave on your own, they will target you and even slander you sooner or later."

"No way..."

Looking at such a naive college student, Liu Yuan sighed: "If you don't believe me, your political literacy needs improvement! But it's not a big problem. Aren't you helpless except for the shield? It's okay, I happen to know a few people who use shields. I'll summarize their experience and teach you how to use it."

The Shield Hero's situation is very special; he has a system that forces him to use no weapons other than his shield. But this is a minor issue, as Hitomi can remove this restriction at any time.

This thing could even be considered a curse or a debuff, and theoretically, producing a little bit of Minecraft milk should be enough to resolve it.

The moment Liu Yuan saw Naofumi Iwatani, he could tell he was an ordinary person with a conscience. At the same time, through his conversation with the Shield Hero, he was also speechless at the state of the people in this world.

Just like playing a game, even if you draw a low-star card or even one that seems useless, who knows if this card will be useful in logistics in the future?

If he were the king, even if he looked down on the Shield Hero, he would still treat him well, providing him with good food and drink. How much could food and drink cost? And what if the Shield Hero proved to be of unexpected use in the future? Wouldn't that be a huge windfall?

And then there's the Shield Hero's companions; Liu Yuan didn't even know how to complain. He couldn't say anything outside, but inside the internet cafe, if the customers knew someone specialized in defense, they'd probably be ecstatic.

You should know that internet cafes are not lacking in damage dealers, but they are lacking in support players who can go to extremes.

Chapter 453 The Shield Hero: "There are some weaklings ahead!"

Unfortunately, the people in this world aren't very bright. Even the hero who was summoned along with the Shield Hero is arrogant.
