I'm just an internet cafe owner

Believe in yourself, you can do it!

After explaining the functions and prices of the spreadsheet to her, Liu Yuan patted her on the shoulder and said, "I promise you, if you can sell one copy today, I'll treat you to a snack tonight. If you can sell two copies, I'll add a meat dish to your three meals a month."

"hiss!"

Kisara gasped. She had initially intended to refuse, but the benefits Liu Yuan offered were too numerous. The food provided by the system could only be described as delicious, and the employee meals were standard two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, but if there was an extra meat dish, why not?

But she knew Liu Yuan too well; if he gave her a number to do, it would be an easy task. But stopping there wasn't enough; she had to set her own conditions.

"Boss! If I can get three customers, I'll add a bottle of soda to my daily bill."

Liu Yuan calculated the costs, patted his chest, and said, "If you can get four people to buy it, I'll give you a big prize."

Four people? That's impossible. Nyaruko would never spend a high price on something so useless. Including Jeanne Alter and Kushina, there are seven regulars and nine computers. Unless new people arrive and it's a world where spreadsheet processing is urgently needed and computers are unavailable, using spreadsheets? Impossible.

Kisara's eyes lit up: "It's a deal, so get the big prize ready!"

Kisara first went to Kushina's side. Kushina sensed Kisara's presence and took off her glasses.

"what happened?"

"Kushina-neechan~ We've launched a really useful piece of software here. Would you like to check it out? It's just a little pricey though."

"how much is it?"

"Converted to your world's currency, it's roughly 100,000 yuan?"

Kushina gasped at the price: 100,000 yen. It seemed a bit cheap.

Is it useful?

"I guarantee with my reputation that it will absolutely work, and its effect is..."

Kisara explained the functions of the spreadsheet: recording, organizing, processing, calculating, statistically analyzing, and so on. Although Kushina had never seen or used it before, upon hearing about these functions, she immediately knew that it would be useful.

"Give me one to try. If it works, I'll have him buy one too. Kisara, tell me quietly, did the boss give you some kind of quota?"

Kisara glanced up and, noticing Liu Yuan wasn't looking in their direction, whispered, "Yes~ I made a bet with the boss, and I won. I get even better food and drinks from now on. There's no punishment for losing~"

"Then my love and I will each have one!"

She originally wanted to buy a copy for the two Senju seniors as well, but considering that they could only fight in the game world with Minato Namikaze, she decided against it.

Liu Yuan wasn't actually spacing out; he was just looking at the system shop for things he could get for free or make money quickly. But before he could find anything useful, Mu Geng came over and tapped on the table.

"Boss~ We've sold two portions already~"

"?"

Liu Yuan glanced at the sales figures. Good heavens, a husband and wife bought two portions! They hadn't even done anything yet, and they were already halfway there.

"Okay, I'll add an extra meat dish to your three meals."

"Yeah~"

Just as Kisara was feeling smug, the shop door was pushed open. A beautiful woman with blue hair walked in.

"Hello, excuse me, where is this place?"

The girl's voice sounded weak, as if she hadn't rested in a long time. But there was also a hint of vitality in it.

Appearance.

Kisara explained directly, "This is the Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe, where you can experience the true charm of games."

"A game?"

Gan Yu sighed. She felt she must have been exhausted lately, as she even dreamed of a place where she could play games. But she couldn't rest yet, as Liyue and Zhidong had recently entered into a major trade agreement involving a massive amount of transaction data.

Even the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division require countless calculations and verifications, all to prevent any problems from arising in this contract.

Even if she's dreaming, she can't rest; she can still check if her previous calculations were correct.

Chapter 44 Gan Yu, who works at an internet cafe

Just as Gan Yu was about to leave, Liu Yuan spoke up.

He secretly gave Kisara a thumbs-up in praise before continuing, "She only introduced part of the content to you. Besides games, our internet cafe can also help you relieve work pressure. Are you overwhelmed by a lot of paperwork? Confused by unverifiable data? Regretful that you can't express your core ideas well? We have software here that can help you with these things."

Liu Yuan knew very well that there were only a few types of people who weren't interested in games. The first type had never played them at all, and were likely parents. The second type were workaholics who considered playing games a waste of time. Other reasons were varied and difficult for Liu Yuan to guess.

Given the system's track record, it probably won't attract the last type of person. So, the first type is easier to persuade – it's not about stopping the child from playing games, but the person themselves, so they're easier to convince. The second type, which might have been impossible to attract a few hours ago, will be no problem now with the spreadsheet function.

Gan Yu stopped. If there really was a way to solve the data problem, she would give it a try.

As the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars, she is a celestial being, but her behavior is not rigid due to the influence of her master.

Seeing Gan Yu stop, Liu Yuan spoke up: "Mu Geng, introduce our new product to the customer. If it sells, it's yours."

"The boss is the best!"

Mu Geng was so excited he almost wanted to hug Liu Yuan and spin him around. Although Liu Yuan usually acted stingy, at least he never broke his promises.

"My name is Kisara. May I ask your name?"

"Sweet rain".

"Ms. Gan Yu, you've come at the perfect time. Our store has launched a new office software. Why don't you take ten minutes to try it out? If you're satisfied, you can pay; if not, you can leave. Ten minutes to try something new—it's a great deal!"

Gan Yu asked seriously, "Is it really possible?"

"Of course! I swear on my entire remaining life! If this form doesn't help with the work at all, may I be crushed to death by a falling rock."

She initially wanted to say it was a shooting star, but judging from Gan Yu's attire, it seemed to be set in an ancient or fantasy world. What if saying "shooting star" didn't resonate? A stone was a better option.

As a citizen of Liyue, Ganyu takes contracts very seriously. Hearing Mugen put it this way, she decided to give it a try.

Kisara's heart is bleeding right now. Although it's supposed to be a trial period, she has to pay for all the internet access herself. The only advantage is that the form itself has a one-hour trial function; otherwise, she really wouldn't be confident of winning this client.

An extra bottle of soda with every meal—what an inexpensive luxury! Thinking about it, I'm quite pathetic being this devil. While others can do whatever they want, I have to work hard just to have the freedom to drink soda.

But the thought of being able to drink cola and having meat with every meal soon filled her with motivation.

"See, you enter numbers in the table, then enter functions here, and the results appear here. These functions can calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; they can calculate maximum, minimum, and average values; and they can even help you retrieve data. See this little button? Double-click it, and all the data will be automatically filled without any calculations!"

Gan Yu was completely engrossed in watching; this was truly the first time she had ever seen such amazing software. Based on her experience, even just the functions that Mu Geng mentioned could significantly reduce work stress.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. When the software stopped working, Gan Yu felt as if her heart had been gripped, and a suffocating feeling washed over her. Her intuition told her that this was necessary.

"Excuse me, how much does this cost?"

"500 million Mora".

"So expensive..."

Forget 5 million, she doesn't even have 500 Mora. But…

She took out her weapon, the 'Qilin Bow,' a special weapon that her master had made for her.

"Excuse me, may I use this as collateral for the 'form'? I will pay the money back when I get back."

Kisara turned to look at Liu Yuan, and seeing Liu Yuan nod, Kisara said, "No problem, as long as you pay back the money, this weapon will be returned to you."

"OK, thanks!"

The moment the transaction was finalized, Gan Yu opened the spreadsheet.

"Welcome to the form. Would you like to use the tutorial? If your world does not have the relevant software, we recommend learning the tutorial."

"study."

The tutorials were free, and even after purchasing the software, it was like any other in-game item; she could use the spreadsheet even outside the internet cafe. However, after leaving, access was limited to a time-based system.

It's billed, costing ten yuan per minute, which is equivalent to 1000 Mora per minute.

However, after Gan Yu finished learning, she realized that the function of the table was worthwhile.

She had only just learned the simplest functions, and she already felt that she had saved a third of her work time.

While she was studying hard, she heard a notification that the door was about to close.

"We will be closing in ten minutes. Please save this information in time."

At the same time, Liu Yuan reminded Gan Yu at the front desk, "Guest, remember to save whenever you use the form. Saving is simple: press Control+S. Losing your data is the worst thing that can happen."

"OK, thanks…"

She ran out of the internet cafe, and the instant she ran out, she was back on the grass where she was going to sleep. As she returned, she heard the voice of the 'Emperor'.

"You may go, you may use it, but you must not spread it outside."

Gan Yu rushed back to prepare for work, but Ning Guang's secretary asked her with some surprise when she saw Gan Yu.

With permission granted, Gan Yu felt relieved. She returned to her office.

"Secretary Gan Yu, didn't you want to rest for a while?"

"and many more?"

Gan Yu's mind hadn't quite registered what was happening. She hurriedly asked, "How long have I been gone?"

"It hasn't even been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Secretary Gan Yu. You can rest assured and get some rest. Only with better rest can you work better."

"no need."

Gan Yu refused outright, saying, "Now is not the time to rest."

She felt a little tired, but that didn't matter; she wanted to personally verify the usefulness of the form. Looking at the form she carried with her, Gan Yu began to input and calculate the data according to what she had learned.

A thousand Mora per minute is indeed very expensive, but she calculated the data that would normally take an hour to calculate in just three minutes.

Ningguang, who had heard her subordinate's report from inside the room, came over: "Gan Yu? What's wrong? I heard from them that you were supposed to rest but didn't go. Did something happen?"

"Yes."

Gan Yu took out the latest data report. At first, Ning Guang didn't think there was anything to look at in detail, but her expression changed after she finished reading it.

"How did you do that?"

"I need to consult the Emperor. If it's possible, I will tell you."

"What do you need me to do?"

"I need some Mora..."

After pondering for a moment, Ningguang agreed. She had a vague feeling that this was a statistical method that was ahead of its time, and that it had to be supported.
