I'm just an internet cafe owner

Internet cafes not only provide computers for people to play games, but also offer spaces for interaction. At least Liu Yuan felt that since his internet cafe could connect different worlds, it was his duty as the owner to facilitate communication and learning between them.

Mu Geng looked at Liu Yuan's kind face and sighed deeply. As a working-class person, she could tell at a glance what Liu Yuan was up to.

Exchange ideas? Learn from each other? I do have those ideas, but the core issue is making money.

I know a little bit about math, and if we really wanted to talk about it, we could go on for a whole day and night. If we can't finish talking and have to go home, then should we use a VPN to chat across the world?

If you get along well and close the door when you're having a great time, does that mean you have to talk to people from all over the world?

150 words, 10 yuan per sentence. That's 1000 Mora. You don't need much; if one person says 30 sentences a day, that's the sales revenue of a game. If someone as talkative as Fujimaru Kaori doesn't pay attention, one person can earn several days' worth of internet fees in a day.

"What a boss who'll do anything for money!"

Liu Yuan, who had just returned, overheard Mu Geng's complaints. He clenched his right fist and gently tapped her head.

"I'm the boss. Why would I open a shop if I wasn't making money? To do charity? Look, they achieved their goals, I made money, so why not? I didn't force them!"

"

Yes, yes, yes, the boss is the most generous person in the world.

"Hehe, I always feel like you're mocking me. There's no meat today, and no Coke either."

"Wait a minute? Boss! We agreed yesterday that if I sold four meat dishes, I would get some cola too."

"It's gone!"

"Since you're gone, you're useless as the boss! Prepare to die!!"

The end result was that when it was time to eat, Mu Geng not only had extra meat dishes, but also received a large chicken leg that Liu Yuan paid for himself.

Chapter 47 Tina Gets On Fire

"Phew, time for a break~"

Tina is following Liu Yuan's advice to complete the Resident Evil series. She has now successfully completed the second generation's related storyline and feels she needs to take a break.

Actually, while it's called the second generation, the second and third generations are being developed simultaneously.

She first helped Jill hold off her pursuers, then coincidentally encountered Claire while searching for supplies at the police station. Finally, she rescued Sherry, who had been chased by her father the entire way.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, consisting mainly of fighting and killing. She possessed both the Gastrea virus and a perfectly fused fungal virus, making her immune to both the T-virus and G-virus. Throughout the journey, she acted as her bodyguard.

Along the way, she also encountered biological weapons modified from the Gastrea virus, and even found information about Gastrea virus fusion agents in the hospital, which made her even more motivated to continue playing the game.

First, they killed William, and then while searching for the virus serum, they encountered Leon, who was holding Ada Wong's hand. They rescued the two of them and then the group of five escaped Raccoon City by taking the subway. On the way, Ada Wong pulled out a rocket launcher from somewhere, which allowed Leon to successfully kill the relentless Tyrant. The group of five successfully escaped Raccoon City.

After escaping Raccoon City, she also received a thank you from Jill. Thanks to Tina for finding the antidote and holding off a large number of zombies, Carlos and his teammates were able to safely bring the antidote back.

At this point, this generation can be considered a perfect completion.

It took a little over 10 hours.

In Real Mode, completing all content will grant you the ultimate prize, but completing the game normally will also grant you the rewards of the normal first generation.

On screen, Tina's performance is rated S-level in all aspects, and all plot points are completed perfectly. The bio-virus cannot be selected, but the weapons used by the main characters can be selected, for a total of three weapons.

Unlike the weapons in regular Resident Evil or Elden Ring, these weapon systems are said to be reward weapons with special effects, but she doesn't quite understand what those effects are.

She wasn't interested in ordinary weapons; she could buy them herself in the United States.

But rocket launchers…

The five cannonballs, capable of targeting virus-mutated 'organisms,' intrigued her. But she decided she wouldn't make a hasty choice.

"boss!!"

Is there anything I can help you with?

"Which of these should I choose?"

Tina already had an idea: although the rocket launcher had very few rounds of ammunition, putting them into the system space could have a surprise effect in battle.

"This one? I suggest you choose the rocket launcher. It has very little ammo, but it can kill level 4 and lower mobs in your world, and it can also cause damage to level 5 mobs. You can also choose this one."

Liu Yuan pointed to the initial pistol, which is the pistol that every protagonist in any storyline will have. Although the models are different, the names are consistent.

"You can choose one of the protagonists' fun little pistols. This one comes with unlimited ammo and a void magazine. You can use it after performing the reload animation. Also, this thing has a really strange function: the health you lose won't recover until you leave combat. Be careful when using it in your world. And this one too!"

Liu Yuan pointed to the inconspicuous knife. The knife had no description, only the words "knife" written on it.

Most people, even Tina, ignored this weapon. After all, it was just a small knife, and she had used it many times, whether in the eighth generation or in the first three generations that she played from scratch. It was just like any other knife, nothing special.

According to her understanding, this is not even as practical as Magnum.

Sensing Tina's confusion, Liu Yuan explained, "This dagger has infinite durability, and it can remove all control effects except for those caused by plot-based attacks. Simply put, in your world, if any Gastrea below Tier 4 grabs you, you can use this dagger to break free."

It sounded useless, but Tina realized that this was the real treasure. Generally speaking, high-level Gastrea don't need close combat, and when encountering high-level ones, survival is the primary concern.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Don't mention it, your spending here is the biggest support you can give us. But you don't seem to be feeling well, are you alright?"

Tina is a typical rich girl. She has spent nearly 10,000 yuan since she came to the internet cafe. Just for that reason, he won't treat this rich girl badly.

"It's okay~ I'm just a little tired."

After receiving helpful advice, she exchanged her items for a rocket launcher, a knife, and a pistol.

Liu Yuan knew that the reward he could choose after completing the game was actually a trap. Only those who were extremely familiar with the game or knew the inside jokes could choose the weapon with the best cost performance.

However, this is only relative. If you have enough time, you can play through the game several times and take it all out.

After glancing at the clock, Tina realized there were still three hours until closing time and, feeling uneasy from the inside out, decided to go back and rest.

Return to one's own world

Tina immediately lay down on the bed.

She planned to get a good night's sleep and rest. There were too many things to be careful about in real mode, and she could easily get injured if she wasn't careful. Even if the virus helped her recover, the pain would still be there.

She had barely settled into bed when she received a task from Ann Rand.

"Mission objective: Assassinate the Holy Emperor, the leader of the Tokyo area, within ten days."

"receive."

Tina put down her phone and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. There were five others who had been transformed into assassins like her. She was starting to tire of the daily life of an assassin, but sadly, this world didn't have Leon, Claire, Chris, or Jill.

In the game, she still remembered how she felt when she was rescued from the laboratory. It was strange; even though it was a fake world, Jill's anger, Chris's resentment, and finally, his act of enduring the tyrant's heavy blow to protect her were vividly portrayed.

Then there's Claire, who, despite telling her that she was infected with the Gastrea virus and wouldn't die, still protected her and tried her best to keep her from getting hurt.

They won't hate her because she's infected; they'll protect her, they'll try to find her a cure, and Chris even uses his connections to try and find a drug to help Tina suppress the virus.

His sister Claire was even more determined to adopt her so that her other half could have a complete childhood.

"I think... I've fallen in love with them..."

Tina clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding faster. It was strange; this was a virtual character who felt so real, yet it stirred a feeling of liking in her.

"Why...why..."

Her goal in playing the game was to find the antidote, to counteract the harm caused by the Gastrea virus. But the more she played, the more she felt stabbed, and these stabbings seemed to be aimed directly at her heart.

She didn't feel anything while playing the game; she felt like she was a part of it. But after leaving the game world and returning to her own, she felt that this real and awful world had no reason to exist.

Chapter 48 The Boss Likes to Take Action

In Tokyo, Japan, due to the influence of Gastrea, only a few areas remain habitable for humans. These areas are protected by towering stone monuments made of a special metal that can repel Gastrea.

After an overnight flight, Tina arrived in the Tokyo area and sat on an outdoor chair. The owl factor in her body caused her to be sleepy during the day, and even drinking a huge amount of caffeine, which would be fatal to most people, only provided her with a slight boost.

Because of the flight, she had no time to go online. After all, she couldn't guarantee that she would be back on the plane or back where she started if she disappeared for twelve minutes.

"So sleepy... I really want to play games... If only the boss were here, I could have some snacks..."

It's amazing how she never feels sleepy whenever she goes to the internet cafe, whether it's day or night. It's just a pity she has to carry out a mission now, needing sleep and rest during the day and scouting locations at night, so she probably won't be able to come for a few days.

Just as she was feeling dazed, a familiar person appeared beside her.

"I was wondering why you hadn't been here all day, were you hiding here sunbathing?"

"?"

Tina opened her eyes groggily. She felt that the man in front of her looked familiar, but because she was too sleepy, she couldn't say his name.

Liu Yuan, who was standing next to her, took out a bottle of coffee and placed it in her hand.

“You haven’t come all day, and you looked really bad when you left yesterday. Kisaragi was really worried about you. He said he wouldn’t drink Coke for the next month and wanted me to come and see what was going on with you.”

Liu Yuan used three "especially"s in a row to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, while Tina nodded absently and said, "Um... okay."

After habitually pouring the coffee into her mouth, her drowsiness vanished instantly.

"It tastes good, just like the cola in internet cafes? Wow!"

When Tina saw Liu Yuan suddenly sitting down beside her, her eyes widened in surprise. She simply couldn't believe that Liu Yuan would come looking for her.

"Boss, what are you doing here?"

"Oh! Two minutes ago, probably when you were talking about me, my permission to visit your world was granted, so I came over~"

Liu Yuan reached out and ruffled Tina's hair, complaining, "I know you're an assassin, but aren't you afraid of running into bad guys sitting so tired on the street?"

"I am very strong."

"Bad guys can be even stronger."

Liu Yuan remembered very clearly that when he was sitting here, a black-haired high school student was supposed to come over, but he didn't come because he saw how close he and Tina were.

"The boss is here too~"

"What use am I! The Anywhere Door isn't open. If it were open and something happened to you, TT could just call people to beat you up."

"Well…"

Tina tried to argue, but for some reason, sitting next to Liu Yuan, she lost all desire to argue. Instead, her desire to go back and go online grew stronger. After all, it was daytime, so why not go play for a while and then take a nap afterward?

"Go online? It's too late, everything's closed."

Upon hearing the words "close the door," Tina's expression froze. What did this mean? She would have to wait twelve hours to go online, at which point she needed to focus entirely on her mission. Playing games was too distracting, so she had to give it up for the sake of her mission.

"Honestly, I really don't know what your boss was thinking, sending you on a mission alone. Let me ask you something: do you want freedom?"

"Freedom? Freedom... I want it!"

Tina imagined herself like her character in the game, with Claire's photo.
