I'm just an internet cafe owner

A flash of white light, and the entire cavern was blasted open, creating a massive space. The quantum bomb exploded, instantly vaporizing all the surrounding goblins.

After the quantum bombardment, the Priestess pulled out an assault rifle. Fully buffed, she held the gun in her left hand and a cross in her right. Those in the distance detonated the weapons, while those nearby shattered the enemies with holy light!

In internet cafes, games have class restrictions, but in reality, there aren't. Using firearms combined with Holy Light seems like the safest method for the Priestess.

But when the priestess was ready for battle, she discovered that the enemy seemed to be all dead.

"it's over?"

Just as she was thinking, footsteps came from the direction of the cave entrance.

"enemy?"

The priestess looked warily toward the cave entrance, where a small flame appeared, and with it, a warrior in armor emerged.

"Goblin Slayer?"

The priestess's voice made the goblin slayer pause in his tracks: "Were you the one who accepted the goblin-clearing mission?"

"Yes...it's us."

"I can rest assured that."

Goblin Slayer turned to leave, knowing the Priestess's strength. Especially after studying for so long at the internet cafe, the cautious Priestess wouldn't have any problems facing goblins.

However, just as he was about to leave, the priestess spoke up.

"Um... I'm not sure if I've missed anything, could you check it for me?"

The priestess looked at Goblin Slayer expectantly, like a student waiting for their homework to be checked.

After a moment's thought, Goblin Slayer nodded: "Okay."

Goblin Slayer lived up to his reputation as a professional; even though the entire goblin lair had been bombed by quantum bombs, two goblin cubs still survived.

Slayer showed no mercy to these goblin cubs, eliminating them all with a single strike.

If goblins aren't eradicated completely, they'll eventually multiply and become a real problem to deal with.

Everything is done, Goblin Slayer is ready to return.

As she watched his retreating figure, the priestess spoke.

"Senior, shall we team up?"

"Want to team up?"

The priestess nodded and said, "Yes! It's just like being in an internet cafe..."

"It will be all right."

Goblin Slayer didn't refuse anyone; as long as they were willing to kill goblins together and were cautious, they could become partners.

For her, killing goblins, wiping out all goblins, was her wish.

However, at this moment, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Why do goblins exist?

He had pondered this question before, but neither he nor anyone else could answer it. But after encountering the priestess today and killing the goblin once again, this question arose in his mind, and the thought grew stronger and stronger.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked a question on TT.

"If I have any questions, who should I ask?"

Kinji Toyama was the first to see Goblin Slayer's question, and he replied directly: "Go ask the boss. He can solve any problem for you, and can even guide you on the path of life."

Suzuki Satoru followed up: "You can blindly trust the boss, and if it's a matter of human nature, you can go to Yuri. There's no human nature problem that Yuri can't solve."

Goblin Slayer: "Thanks."

Goblin Slayer cautiously searched the area again, and after confirming that no goblins had been missed, he returned with a team of new recruits.

This adventure will undoubtedly be unforgettable for these new adventurers, as their underestimation and arrogance nearly led to their annihilation in the goblin's lair.

The priestess believed that these individuals would shed their contempt even when facing other enemies in the future. They were...

Those who have truly brushed with death, those who have faced death, will undergo a certain degree of change.

Goblin Slayer wasn't in a hurry. He handed in his quest to the Priestess, and after a brief exchange, the two agreed to meet at an internet cafe the next day.

Goblins aren't something you encounter every day. Sometimes, when you don't get any goblin-related requests, Goblin Slayer will patiently maintain his equipment.

Although he learned powerful abilities from the internet cafe, he didn't think those abilities were important. What was truly important were the magical items inside the internet cafe.

He needed to acquire some money, because only with enough money could he obtain those powerful items. Fortunately, making money wasn't difficult for internet cafe customers.

Whether it's making money in the technological world or the mystical world, there are already relatively mature methods. If you're still unsure how to make money, learning from Fujimaru Kaori's Robin Hood-like approach is also an option.

However, according to the internet cafe patrons, simply robbing doesn't earn much money. Only by hijacking the equipment and weapons of someone with sufficient strength can one exchange them for some cash. But robbing isn't as fast as making money, so apart from people like Fujimaru Kaori who can't make money, everyone else earns money honestly.

After all, selling a piece of equipment or a few consumables can earn you much more than simply robbing others.

Time flew by, and before we knew it, the internet cafe was open for business.

Upon receiving the notice of the internet cafe's opening, Goblin Slayer entered the cafe immediately. He didn't use any computers, but instead walked straight to Liu Yuan.

"Good day, boss."

"How can I help you, sir?"

"I have some questions..."

"Ask a question? Sure, come with me!"

Liu Yuan stood up and led Goblin Slayer into the lounge. After sitting down facing him, Liu Yuan calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to know how to eliminate goblins."

"Eliminate them? That's a bit difficult for you."

"Is it possible?"

Goblin Slayer caught the key words in Liu Yuan's words, but Liu Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, but do you really want to do it? If you do, you will face not only goblins as enemies, but also the gods of your world."

Upon hearing this, Goblin Slayer froze completely.

Liu Yuan didn't rush to speak, but calmly looked at the man in front of him. Liu Yuan knew a little about the situation in his world; the gods played games when they were bored, and goblins were just "cards" for some god. Goblin Slayer, on the other hand, was an existence outside the chess piece in this four-way world.

If you want to completely eliminate goblins, you need to kill the god behind them.

As for how to choose? That's Goblin Slayer's own business; he's just a shopkeeper. As a shop owner, all he can do is guarantee the safety of his customers.

After a long silence, Goblin Slayer spoke: "How can I get rid of them?"

"Simply resorting to violence is easy; you can easily solve it by mastering the second or third awakening, or by playing other games in our store. But that only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Treats the symptoms but not the root cause?"

Liu Yuan nodded: "That's right, if you want to solve the problem at its root, you need to address the problem at its source."

"Please give me some pointers, boss."

Liu Yuan was not stingy; instead, he pointed out a path for him.

"The reason why humans in your world despise goblins is not only because of their weakness and stealth, but also because of a debuff imposed on them by a being called a god. Under this debuff, unless they truly witness or understand how terrifying goblins are, they will ignore and despise them no matter how much they grow. And what you need to do is offer these people milk."

"?"

Goblin Slayer slowly typed a question mark. He understood the first few sentences, but what was this about feeding milk?

Chapter 505 Goblin Slayer and His Former Victims

Seeing the person's confusion, Liu Yuan explained, "The world you live in is very interesting. It's a chessboard where everything is a piece, and the players are your gods. You ignore goblins not only because they are weak, but also because of a curse from the gods that makes humans ignore the threat of goblins. Ordinary consumables cannot lift the curse from the gods, but milk from the Minecraft world can."

In this world, the gods, seeking to become its rulers, determine victory or defeat by rolling dice. The entire world is an experiment by the gods; the fortune and misfortune of every person from birth to death are determined by the dice rolls directed by the gods.

This destiny ordained by the gods is also considered a buff in the Minecraft world, and indeed, the entire internet cafe was established with the help of a certain Minecraft server owner. Therefore, the power brought from the Minecraft game has absolute influence in most worlds.

As long as it meets the characteristics of Minecraft, then the items in Minecraft can be used.

Human destiny is largely determined by the dice rolls of the gods. This imposed destiny can be considered a buff, which can be negated by milk from the Minecraft world.

In addition, the contempt for goblins imposed on the consciousness of people in this world will all vanish with a bucket of milk.

Even if this level of buff is removed, it won't immediately change a person's consciousness and thoughts. However, if you give a slight reminder at this time, newcomers won't have the mindless and underestimating mentality.

Swordsmen should carry an extra short sword, while mages and priests should carry a full set.

Add a layer of chainmail. Even if it's just to protect against danger on the road, it can play a crucial role when danger does occur.

Just like the priestess's team, if the swordsman had prepared an extra weapon, or if he hadn't panicked when deflecting the blade but had taken countermeasures, then with the help of the fighters, they could have easily taken down these goblins.

If the female mage was wearing chainmail, then that arrow wouldn't have pierced her body and rendered her unable to fight.

"Can milk be processed like this?"

Goblin Slayer didn't experience much emotional fluctuation after learning the truth about his world; gods and dice were irrelevant to him. He only wanted to kill the goblins, and if possible, he wouldn't mind killing the god who created the goblins as well.

With a clear objective and accurate positioning, even if one is shocked upon learning the truth, it will not affect their thinking.

"Boss, who should I give the milk to? This kind of prop can't be used for everyone, right?"

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, this is my next plan. Form a team to exterminate goblins. These people who have been harmed by goblins must be suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Recruit them and make them your companions to kill all the goblins together."

"Impossible, those people..."

Liu Yuan interrupted him: "Are you saying that their Dao hearts are broken and they never want to see goblins again in this lifetime? You're not wrong; there are such people. But at the same time, there are also some who will completely hate goblins and wish they could kill them all. They don't have the chance, and because of post-traumatic stress disorder, they lose their fighting ability when facing goblins, but you can give them fighting ability. Although those guys created the goblins, they're probably used to watching the show and playing games; they won't stop you from doing whatever you want."

What should I do?

"It's too complicated for me to explain, but I have a suggestion. Find someone named Yuri on TT. If you're too shy, you can go into the game Mental Omega and talk to Yuri. He'd be happy to help confused heretics out of their predicament."

Feeling lost?

Goblin Slayer wasn't confused; he knew he had to kill goblins. But he still followed Liu Yuan's instructions, entered Red Alert, and met Yuri.

Yuri was leisurely reading a book, a few hours before the spiritual expert arrived in the United States.

As he was reading, he felt the gaze of Goblin Slayer.

“Oh! My dear heretic, your problem is much simpler than that of other heretics. Want more companions? Indeed, these traumatized people are more attractive. Although they have all sorts of problems, as long as you can meet their psychological needs, they will be loyal to you forever.”

Yuri began his therapy session, and with Yuri's help, Goblin Slayer had an epiphany.

He realized just how terrifying Liu Yuan's suggestion was, and at the same time, he also realized that he was indeed too young and had been neglecting such a potential force all along.
