I'm just an internet cafe owner

"But I'm like this..."

The Shield Hero didn't think much during the battle, but now that it's over, he feels incredibly ashamed.

Liu Yuan calmly replied, "It's nothing, just combat techniques. Remember, in this world, only techniques that can defeat enemies are good techniques; those that can't are trash. However, your attack method has a drawback: if the opponent's defense is high, your attack will be ineffective. But that's not a big problem. Since it's a weapon, I'll enchant it with added damage. It will add no more than five points of true damage to your attacks. This isn't a free favor; it's yours. When you fight an enemy, I will see the footage of your battle. Don't worry, sparring with your teammates doesn't count as combat, so I won't see it. Don't worry, as long as you can heal..."

As long as it doesn't affect the person's physical use, it's fine. We don't need to worry about mental harm; many things used in this internet cafe are quite mentally polluting.

"boss…"

The Shield Hero was somewhat moved. Whether before or after his transmigration, Liu Yuan had always treated him exceptionally well. He'd helped him gain power, guided him through difficulties, and even proactively bestowed skills upon him? As for seeing the battle scenes? What's so special about that? For someone like him, it wasn't like he could just watch whenever he wanted. He didn't even need to say anything to him. In his view, offering such a condition was truly helping him.

This is a deal, but a deal that benefits me.

In reality, Liu Yuan wasn't that kind-hearted. He just felt that the Shield Warrior had the potential to become a Gate Warrior after seeing his attack style.

It's important to understand that when he transforms into a jelly bean or a soft-bodied human, his shield remains unchanged. At this time, he can only inflict five points of true damage. This damage is only effective against vulnerable areas of the body, such as the heart or brain. Even if the shield hero attacks those areas, his five points of true damage might have little effect, but attacking vulnerable points…

Anyway, Liu Yuan decided to pay attention to the Shield Hero's battles from now on. He was very curious about this good young man. What interesting impact would a hero who puts the lives of ordinary people in such an important position have on his world after learning parrying, mastering combat skills, and crossing moral boundaries in strange places?

Chapter 456 The Shield Hero, the Raccoon, and the Ice Wolf Clan

The Rising of the Shield Hero World

Inside the king's castle, the king is giving a speech.

"In order to cope with the impending wave, we have recruited a group of ambitious and courageous individuals to fight against it together."

The Shield Hero didn't hear a word of the king's speech.

Like the other three heroes, he was assigned to team up with others to prepare for the battle against the waves. However, the Shield Hero discovered that he was all alone.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Since receiving guidance from Liu Yuan and Yuri, he has developed a mature development plan.

Seeing that there were no teammates around him, the Shield Hero smiled and said, "Your Majesty, as expected of the Shield Hero, you are far too weak. Someone like me would only be a burden to my teammates. Please grant me some reward so that I can experience the customs and culture of this other world."

The king was stunned when he heard the Shield Hero's words. He had thought of countless things the Shield Hero would do, but he never expected that the Shield Hero would resign.

"Have you made up your mind? Without teammates, the battle will be extremely difficult."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am far too weak to fight alongside others. I beg Your Majesty to grant me some settlement funds so that I may survive in this country."

"it is good!"

The king didn't hesitate much. He felt it would be troublesome for the Shield Hero to be the hero, but if he didn't become the hero, he had countless ways to secretly get rid of him. This country only needed three other heroes; the Shield Hero wasn't necessary.

The Shield Hero received a settlement allowance of ten gold coins, while the other heroes received six hundred silver coins. However, the other three heroes, especially the Spear Hero, scoffed at what the Shield Hero had done, as if the Shield Hero was something shameful.

The Shield Hero completely ignored the other three heroes. If they had put in a good word for him, he might have considered inviting them to the internet cafe to improve their skills together. But since he was leaving them to fend for themselves, he might as well let them experience the joys of the internet cafe on their own.

Amidst the astonishment of all the nobles, the Shield Hero, carrying a bag of silver coins, hummed a little tune as he walked out of the castle.

In the internet cafe, he not only gained power, but also, under Yuri's tutelage, his thinking skills improved further.

Based on the suggestions of his guests, he needed to find someone who was loyal enough.

The people in the castle were clearly unsuitable, so he needed to search outside the city. He couldn't look for men or those with sufficient fighting strength, because he knew he was definitely being watched, and if he rashly used this money to develop his power, he would be eliminated with lightning speed.

Therefore, he came up with a plan…

At the merchant guild's slave pen, Shield Hero, led by a short, bespectacled merchant, prepares to purchase slaves.

It may sound inhumane, but he wants to buy slaves in this world to be his teammates.

At first, he was very resistant to this behavior. After all, he was a healthy modern person, and no modern person wants to be someone else's slave, nor does he have the idea of ​​enslaving others.

But Yuri's teachings opened up new avenues of thought for him.

"Slaves, especially young slaves, are the easiest to bribe. A little love and a little material support are enough to make them loyal to you."

That's why he decided to buy slaves.

A high-level werewolf, a powerful demi-human. The level 70+ slaves were awe-inspiring to him, but unfortunately, he had no interest in such powerful teammates.

"Hehe, esteemed hero, please feel free to choose the slaves you require?"

Just as the Shield Hero was making his selection, he heard coughing and panting.

Following the sound, he noticed two demi-human girls. One was a chestnut-haired girl with pink eyes and raccoon ears and tail, and the other was an ice wolf girl with short white hair and blue eyes.

"Oh? Hero, you've taken a liking to these two? But they're very weak, with very low level caps and low strength. They're practically useless in combat. Could it be...!"

The slave trader instantly understood, while the Shield Hero...

He smiled and nodded: "Two, how much?"

The slave trader rubbed his hands together and said, "These two have some problems, and they're very difficult to deal with. Sixty silver coins will be enough for both of them."

"Ok."

Without wasting any words, the Shield Hero directly took out money and signed contracts with the two slaves.

The Shield Hero observed carefully and noticed that the raccoon was in very poor mental condition, showing a terrified expression when it saw him. The ice wolf girl, on the other hand, was completely different; she had a fierce expression, and it seemed that even a slave contract couldn't comfort her.

After signing the contract, the Shield Hero led the two girls away. He didn't stay in the city but chose to leave. Because what he needed to do was completely impossible within the city.

The ice wolf girl named Setsuna was alright, but the raccoon was not in good condition, so the Shield Hero carried the raccoon and led Setsuna out of the city in a swagger.

"Reporting to the King, he has left with two slaves."

"slave?"

"Yes, a demi-human race with no combat capabilities."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the king immediately sensed something was wrong, but when he ordered his men to find and capture the Shield Hero, the Shield Hero was already gone. No matter what methods or magic they used, they could not locate the Shield Hero.

It would be a miracle if anyone could even find it, because the Shield Hero was leading two slaves into the forest. The forest was so vast that no one could detect it.

Once he was sure it was safe, Shield Hero took out two buckets of milk from his backpack.

Milk from the Minecraft world can remove all debuffs, and the Slave Contract is also a debuff to milk from the Minecraft world.

The two girls looked at the Shield Hero in fear, but the Shield Hero did not give them any chance to struggle and directly commanded them to stay still.

"This milk is precious, drink every last drop."

Raphtalia, the little raccoon, coughed in fear at that moment, but the instant she opened her mouth, the Shield Hero poured a bucket of milk into her mouth.

"Waaaaah... Mmm~"

At first, Raphtalia struggled, but the moment the milk entered her mouth, its flavor filled her entire oral cavity, and MC milk wasn't pungent. It felt alive after entering her mouth, directly integrating into her body. Those who consume milk can experience the joy of milk without feeling overwhelmed by drinking a whole tub of it.

After drinking the milk, Raphtalia felt warm all over, and at that moment she saw the shield on the Shield Hero's arm. Her expression changed upon seeing the shield.

Seeing Setsuna, who was panting in fear, the Shield Hero quipped helplessly, "I'm the Shield Hero, so why does my effect look like that of a demon king?"

"The Shield Hero?"

Her voice was very soft, but Setsuna heard it. The moment she heard it, her fierce expression froze, and she looked at the Shield Hero's shield. The moment she saw the shield, her expression changed.

Among the demi-human race, the Shield Hero is the true hero who saved them. Adults and children alike idolize him because, in their legends, the Shield Hero will rescue them in times of danger.

Chapter 457 The Shield Hero Who Was Slandered; The Shield Hero Is About to Unleash His Overbearing Mode

"Master...you are...?"

Setsuna's eyes widened in surprise if the man in front of her was the Shield Hero.

Before she could even think, the Shield Hero shoved a milk bucket, bigger than Setsuna's mouth, into her mouth and began pouring milk into her.

"Drink it, don't spill a drop."

"Waaaaah!!!"

She struggled at first, but then felt a warm sensation in her body, and her whole body went limp. Finally, a blissful expression appeared on her face as she collapsed to the ground.

"Master, are you... the Shield Hero?"

"Yes. Raphtalia, right?"

"What are your orders, Master?"

The Shield Hero thought for a moment and said, "Time to eat~ Look how hungry you all are, you're all skin and bones. Come on, I bought some good food, let's eat together."

He brought out dishes he'd made at the internet cafe: fried rice, steak, and fried chicken. The moment the food was presented, both girls, filled with questions, had their stomachs rumble simultaneously.

Hearing the rumbling in her stomach, the girl lowered her head.

"Don't be shy, this is for you to eat. I'll talk to you while you eat."

After distributing the food and snacks to the two girls, the Shield Hero calmly said, "I am the Shield Hero, and I can only fight with my shield. I have no fighting ability, so I need you to fight with me. I will protect you, and you will be responsible for killing the enemy."

Through constant battles in the game, the Shield Hero desperately wants his teammates in this world to be very reliable, because only when his teammates are reliable will he, as a support, remain inconspicuous.

As for how to train them, he already has a preliminary plan. One tank, two centers, and he plans to add a healer in the future. If there's no healer available, he can also work as one.

Although the Senzu Beans sold in internet cafes are expensive, eating one will fully restore your health, so theoretically you can do without milk.

During the meal, Raphtalia kept glancing at the Shield Hero. Sensing the girl's gaze, the Shield Hero asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Raphtalia spoke without hesitation; she recalled...

The legend her parents had told her made her believe that the Shield Hero before her was the hero who would save her and the demi-humans.

"Master, I will follow you forever..."

"Um…"

Setsuna, who was standing nearby, sat up as well: "Setsuna also wants to follow the Hero. Hero, what do you need Setsuna to do? Setsuna is weak, but she will fight with all her might."

Setsuna's expression hardened. To the king of this country, the Shield Hero was evil, an enemy. But to the demi-humans, the Shield Hero was a friend. Setsuna, being a demi-human herself, never imagined she would encounter the Shield Hero.

"Fight to the death? I don't need you to fight to the death. I just want to find a few people who can follow me and fight alongside me. Because I can't use any weapons other than a shield."

Raphtalia coughed as she stood up: "I will, with the Hero, cough cough cough..."

"Don't rush, no one's going to take it from you. Also, if you really want to follow me, take good care of your health~"

"I will."

"Even for a moment."

Looking at the two girls, the Shield Hero sighed. He wondered if it was appropriate to bring such young girls into battle. But he had no choice; he was just a support, and even with defensive tears, he only had two supports. Without a main DPS, he could whittle down the enemy, but it would be too slow.

If possible, he would prefer to defeat his enemy more easily.

With teammates, leveling up is a natural next step. The two girls couldn't enter the internet cafe due to their age, but that wasn't a big problem. His system could enable team mode, where teammates could gain experience through battles. Although the experience points were small, there were plenty of monsters to fight.
