I'm just an internet cafe owner

In this game, players can choose to fight their way through without saying a word, or they can choose to peacefully coexist with the monsters and complete the game.

There are no material rewards for completing the game, because when players complete the game, they undergo a spiritual baptism and face a choice about humanity.

"But judging from the current behavior of these guests, I'm afraid one or two of them might just start a massacre, right?"

Liu Yuan stroked his chin, thinking. Judging from the behavior of some of the customers in the internet cafe, he guessed that a few killing gods would come and wipe out all the NPCs in the game.

But that's alright, it's part of the fun of the game. No matter what choices players make, a game is still a game. It's just that this game feels more realistic compared to other games. If you can still have a good time killing in this situation, then you're truly living the King of Hell.

The second game is a Go game, nothing special, except that it allows online Go battles.

There's not much to say about the PvP, but the PvE caught Liu Yuan's attention. Especially noteworthy were the presence of famous Go players like Jaguar and AlphaGo. Whether well-known or unknown, amateur or not, anyone could challenge all sorts of people here if they wanted.

"Won't the Kaiji get bored with this game console?"

Upon hearing Liu Yuan's question, the system proactively replied, "No, a single Mech-type hasn't reached the theoretical limit of Go. Only by becoming a connected entity can it reach the limit. In non-limit states, victory or defeat depends entirely on individual calculations. But for Mech-types, this game might be quite boring."

"There's no way around it, it's a purely computational game after all. System, delete the AI-type enemies! Keep the humanoid enemies. Also, add a special matchmaking system to try and prevent mechs from being matched with regular players."

Liu Yuan also played Go for a while, and he admitted that the game was very fun. Playing against machines can indeed improve your skills quickly, but if you play mindlessly against machines, the fun of Go disappears.

Of course, if any player has a special need to improve themselves, Liu Yuan wouldn't mind helping that person activate the AI ​​training mode individually.

However, Liu Yuan believes that no one would want to play chess against artificial intelligence, because playing chess against artificial intelligence feels like playing chess against God.

After learning about these games, Liu Yuan stretched and walked out of the room.

As soon as Liu Yuan stepped out of the room, he saw ten staff members playing games. Kisaragi and Jibril were cheering them on from the sidelines.

Seeing Liu Yuan come out, Mu Geng approached him.

Are there any fun new games?

"Yes! There's Undertale and a Go game. You can just play Undertale; there's nothing particularly noteworthy about this game."

Undertale is more about honing a player's awareness and control skills, as dodging and attacking require quick maneuvers. It doesn't offer much in terms of other skills. The greatest enjoyment of the game lies in experiencing the story, encountering monsters from different underworlds, and making choices in the face of those monsters.

As for combat... there are too many games with combat in internet cafes. But this game is stuck in the middle—it's not very friendly to ordinary players, and a bit boring for hardcore players.

Putting everything else aside, if you let Baki come and watch the battle inside, he'd only feel that the pace is too slow.

However, if Baki or Son Goku were to play this game... who knows, they might come up with something different.

What will the ending be?

After all, this game has different endings from the original work, and different player actions in the real-world mode can lead to completely different endings. Theoretically, achieving a harem ending is not impossible.

"and many more?"

Liu Yuan suddenly realized something: in the real mode, there was an option to input one's own data. Those non-human guests inputting their own data...

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

This kind of thing no longer matters. Since the game was released, Liu Yuan has never pressured players to play according to his own ideas. On the contrary, the more flashy the plays players make, the happier he is. Because flashy plays can make his mundane work time more fun.

Chapter 486 Hikaru Shindo and Fujiwara no Sai?

While the internet cafe patrons were playing Undertale, a new guest arrived.

Inside the new store, unlike the duo of Yagami Taichi and Koromon, this branch also features a new pairing: Shindo Hikaru and Fujiwara Sai, except that these two are possessed by each other.

Hikaru Shindo is a middle school student who has just awakened his love for Go under the guidance of Sai Fujiwara.

Just today, on their way home from school, Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara came to this internet cafe.

Upon entering the internet cafe, Hikaru Shindo looked around curiously.

"Where is this place?"

Fujiwara no Sai, being a spirit, had a more pronounced sense of awareness; he clearly felt that this was not Earth.

"This is no longer where we live."

Just as the human and the ghost were nervously looking around, Xin Hai walked over.

"Hello, guests. This is 4D Space Internet Cafe."

Hikaru Shindo asked curiously, "Four-Dimensional Space Internet Cafe? Do you use the internet there?"

Xin Hai nodded: "Yes, our store can use these machines to experience the reality of another world, and also communicate with people from other worlds who share the same interests."

Upon hearing this, Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara spoke at the same time.

Can we play Go here?

Xin Hai smiled and nodded: "Of course, our store has a professional Go playing system. You can play against Go enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world."

"really?"

Seeing the questions from the two people in front of him, Xin Hai nodded.

"Whether it's true or not, you two can come in and try it out and we'll know."

Both of them were initially eager to try it out, but their expressions changed when they saw the internet fee.

"So expensive... I can't afford this place..."

Hearing the customers' complaints, Xin Hai smiled and said, "Please don't worry, both of you. Although our internet access is expensive, it's definitely worth the price. We also offer money-making tips compiled by other customers. You can pay on credit for the first few times and repay the debt once you have enough funds."

So, with a mix of reluctance and agreement, the human and the ghost sat down on the machine. However, unlike other guests, the system classified these two guests as one, and they played the game as a single entity.

At the same time, internet access only costs one cent, which greatly reduced the pressure on Hikaru Shindo.

Following the staff's instructions, the two started playing the Go game.

Go may sound simple, but the PvE mode in this game truly allows you to experience the tension of playing against a master. This is because your opponent sits in front of you during the match, putting pressure on you.

The two new guests started browsing the internet, while Xin Hai returned to the front desk with a smile on his face.

"Great job!"

Liu Yuan was very satisfied with the new employee's work ability. Although she encountered two difficult customers the first time, she was able to handle the ordinary customers with ease the second time, which proved that he could hand over the management of the store to her completely before long.

Kisara clapped happily: "Super awesome~ Shinkai, keep up the good work!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I will work even harder in the future."

These days, working at the internet cafe is a rare break for Xin Hai. The unusually long hours, combined with the fun games inside, have made her like it here.

Of course, what shocked her the most was that Inazuma's god was also a customer of the shop. The only pity was that she couldn't spar with Raijin in person in the game.

Meanwhile, the newly hired employee happily started playing the game. Upon entering the game, Hikaru Shindo was stunned by the dazzling array of enemy information.

Fujiwara Sai was overwhelmed by the sight of the powerful Go players from various worlds.

Because there is no artificial intelligence, there is no such thing as the strongest chess player, only the peak player.

As he watched the various players, Fujiwara no Sai fell into deep thought. He longed to face these powerful opponents, but seeing the gleam in the eyes of the boy he had possessed, he smiled.

Who should I choose?

Hikaru Shindo looked at the names with excitement. After getting to know Fujiwara no Sai, he gradually experienced the charm of Go. He really wanted to play against these seemingly strong people, but there were just too many names.

Players from China, South Korea, Japan, and other countries and regions are all represented.

Fujiwara Sai looked at the titles of these people and pondered for a while before speaking, "Let's pick one of the champions at random. I want to see how strong these champions are."

Having lived with Hikaru Shindo for some time, Fujiwara no Sai had learned a great deal about modern knowledge; these world champions were equivalent to the current world's strongest players.

The most powerful group, regardless of which country they come from, you can roughly tell their level of strength by just picking one of them.

Hikaru Shindo took this advice and randomly selected a character.

This seemingly casual remark landed on someone named Jiebao.

Nine-time champion, a man highly praised by artificial intelligence, an abstract chess player, and so on.

Just by looking at these names, Hikaru Shindo could feel the opponent's strength.

After selecting their characters, Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara find themselves in a competition venue. It appears to be the preliminary rounds of the competition.

Sitting in front of Hikaru Shindo was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old.

The duel begins; the contest in Go is a test of intelligence, patience, and strategy.

However, both Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara were shocked by the strength of this enemy.

The contest between the two felt like facing a god.

Unlike the so-called craftsmanship spirit, Go is a game where, with the passage of time, later players become increasingly better than their predecessors. This is due to the continuous updating and refinement of various opening patterns, as later players absorb the experience of their predecessors to create even better strategies.

On the other hand, with the development of technology, people's basic needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation have been met, allowing their brains to develop to the greatest extent and enabling more people to have stronger fighting power.

If the Jaguar in front of Fujiwara Sai were the abstract version from the live stream, he might have messed up due to carelessness. But the Jaguar in the system was the absolute pinnacle, a fully realized entity that had faced AlphaGo, undergone the baptism of artificial intelligence, and further leaped in its own strength. It was fortunate that they didn't face the abstract entity itself, otherwise they would have questioned their existence.

Not only Jaguar, but players after this stage don't really have any fixed patterns; it's simply a matter of calculation ability.

At this stage, all previous experience is useless; you either have to train the eagle to make the opponent make a mistake, or you have to defeat the opponent through pure strength.

In the game, both Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara felt only deep despair when they reached 52 points. Looking at the entire board, there was absolutely no way to turn the tide.

If you go down to any point, the only outcome will be failure.

"I...lost..."

As the human and the ghost simultaneously conceded defeat, their hearts filled with sorrow, yet a fierce fighting spirit also ignited within them.

"continue!"

Chapter 487 Fujimaru Kawan's Legend (Part 2)

Hikaru Shindo was full of fighting spirit because he knew one thing: in reality, there was no chance to even spar with such a powerful player. Money? Sorry, top-level players not only need money, but also connections.

One hundred thousand? Five hundred thousand? One million?

Although it's in Japanese yen, it's still a considerable sum. But in an internet cafe, a little over ten thousand yen can buy you a day's worth of matches against such a powerful player. What's even more terrifying is that there are countless other such strong players in the internet cafe's games, which really gets everyone excited.

After several attempts, Fujiwara no Sai gave up on challenging the stronger opponent.

"These players are beyond our reach for now; I need to familiarize myself with this new way of playing chess..."

Fujiwara Sai clearly felt that this way of playing chess was completely different from before. In his time, there was no such thing as fixed patterns. Even in modern times, everyone has their own style.

But the enemy in front of me was completely unpredictable; he seemed like a ruthless machine.

However, before seeking an equally matched enemy, Hikaru Shindo summoned the internet cafe manager.

"Internet cafe manager~ Could you please tell me how this player trained to play such a ruthless style of chess?"
