I'm just an internet cafe owner

Upon seeing the software, Ai Mizuno instinctively opened it. It looked like a very ordinary app, but it included a user-friendly trial package. Players could customize any virtual singer according to their needs and voice, or use officially designated virtual singers for performances.

When Mizuno Ai opened the software, her eyes widened; she had discovered… a new world.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was 7:30 in the morning. Mizuno Ai, the new employee, was the network administrator at branch number five, and her job duties and precautions were explained by Sango Miyako Kokoro.

The work at the internet cafe wasn't complicated: recommending games based on customer needs and helping customers choose rewards based on their problems and difficulties. Coral Palace Heart Sea also explained the precautions for launching new games.

"After listing a new game or app, the next customer will most likely want something specific from the game's 'features.' If the customer is quiet or hesitant, just recommend the new game and explain its appeal. So far, all new customers have stayed after I've introduced the game. Once they stay, you've completed the first step!"

Currently, there are cases in internet cafes where customers arrive and leave immediately. Therefore, Coral Palace Heart Sea is saying that customers who stayed after being introduced to the game stayed.

Mizuno Ai also took out a small notebook to write down the key points of what was said. After a night of investigation, she realized just how terrifying this so-called internet cafe was.

It looks like technology, but it actually has a setting that even fantasy novels don't have.

Having been exposed to both Audition Online and Vocaloid, Ai Mizuno was also able to introduce these two games based on her experience as an idol.

Whether it's Audition Online or Vocaloid, in Ai Mizuno's view, they could change the landscape of idols in any ordinary world. These two are too monstrous; even after using them all night, Ai Mizuno felt her overall abilities had greatly improved.

Especially after using VOCALOID to fine-tune one's own voice, the personal improvement is a qualitative leap. The most amazing thing about VOCALOID isn't just being able to sing with your own voice, but also being able to customize your character's appearance within the game. Creating your own character? This is something only this game can do so far.

By using Audition Online to improve improvisation skills and VOCALOID to enhance singing ability, anyone can achieve the skills of a top idol.

Even if your appearance isn't great, it doesn't matter. Just create your own character in VOCALOID and you'll always be able to create an attractive look. Then, you can follow this combination without any problems.

As for teamwork, it has no impact whatsoever. In real-world mode, you can team up or compete against each other. After all, no idol group in reality can perform on stage every day. Putting aside whether they are qualified, their physical stamina is another matter entirely.

However, in Audition Online, once your mental strength has fully recovered, you can continue practicing. You can train your skills without any restrictions. The only drawback is that you need to make up for the lack of physical strength in real life.

But that's enough! Physical strength can be trained, but skills and experience are priceless.

Because of her in-depth exploration of these games and her status as an idol, Ai Mizuno's understanding and application of these two games are far more profound than those of the other staff members in the internet cafe.

The internet cafe opened, and Mizuno Ai was full of confidence as she welcomed her first customers.

The internet cafe opened, and the elderly customers looked on with curiosity when they saw the new staff. After a few questions and some explanations, the customers went online.

Just when Mizuno Ai thought she had finished her work, two girls were standing at the shop entrance.

An ordinary high school student named Tachibana Hibiki, with short flaxen hair and wearing a school uniform.

Another girl who looked young had a bewildered look in her eyes.

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

Hibiki Tachibana asked the question first, and Ai Mizuno, who was ready to speak, began her self-introduction.

"Hello, this is Mind Space Internet Cafe. My name is Mizuno Ai, I'm an idol, and I'm also the manager of this internet cafe~"

Wed

During her self-introduction, Hibiki Tachibana and Ai Hoshino both looked at her.

Tachibana Hibiki's eyes were filled with excitement, while Hoshino Ai's previously lifeless eyes suddenly sparkled with starlight. However, Liu Yuan, looking at the little girl from behind, felt that her eyes didn't resemble stars, but rather mushrooms.

Chapter 522 Hibiki Tachibana and Madoka

"Idols? You mean this kind, that kind, and then..."

Hibiki Tachibana excitedly described it, and Ai Mizuno nodded in agreement: "Of course! And here you can even simulate your own image and find your most attractive side!"

Mizuno Ai's introduction made Tachibana Hibiki and Hoshino Ai's eyes sparkle.

A girl named Hoshino Ai nervously asked, "Sister, are you an idol?"

"Yes!"

Just as Mizuno Ai was about to introduce herself, she stopped. She knew this internet cafe catered to customers from all over the world, and her reputation might not mean much to them…

Just as she was feeling down, Liu Yuan clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"That's right! She's the top idol who emerged from Japan's idol warring states period, the leader and center of 'IRON FRILL,' the undisputed center, Mizuno Ai. Don't be down, she's from the same world as you."

"what?"

While Mizuno Ai was shocked, Hoshino Ai also showed a surprised expression.

She had indeed heard the name Mizuno Ai before; she had never experienced the warmth of a family since entering the orphanage. However, she knew the origin of her name.

A once-legendary idol died in an unexpected accident, but why would a dead person appear here? Hoshino Ai felt her mind was in turmoil; she even thought that she herself, living in the orphanage, was already dead.

Looking at the guests from the same world, Ai Mizuno took a deep breath.

Mizuno Ai's situation wasn't perfect, so Liu Yuan interjected, "Xin Hai, why don't you take the guests onto the plane? What would you two like?"

"I can do anything..."

Hibiki Tachibana is a fan of idols and has even fantasized about becoming one herself, but when it comes to actually doing it, she gets a little shy. However, it's not a big problem; there are plenty of games at internet cafes, surely one will suit her.

However, Liu Yuan felt a sense of familiarity when he heard Tachibana Hibiki's voice.

"This feeling... Xiaoyuan?"

After Liu Yuan realized this, he directly contacted the Principle of Cycles. Within ten seconds of receiving the message, Madoka Kaname appeared at the branch.

"A loud sound rang out, and Madoka-senpai made her dazzling entrance! Clang clang clang!!!!"

The appearance of Senior Xiaoyuan attracted the attention of those in the internet cafe who were not playing games, but once they saw it was Senior Xiaoyuan, everyone went back to what they were doing.

Don't let Madoka's unserious demeanor fool you; her skills are top-notch. According to some, Madoka is a truly formidable person who can practically use the sun as a racket.

Just thinking about how easily Madoka could break Madoka's spine sends chills down the spines of all the guests.

Upon seeing Senior Xiaoyuan's appearance, Liu Yuan's expression froze. He had thought it was Xiaoyuan who had arrived, but instead, this thing had shown up.

"Boss? You're not welcoming me? Hmph! Madoka isn't coming! Forget about it! I've obtained the power of the Law of Cycles. Watch this! Madoka-senpai's Ultimate Evolution!!!"

With a burst of pink light, Madoka in her Law of Cycles form appeared before Liu Yuan. This was no longer the ordinary Madoka, but the Ultimate Madoka.

Just as Madoka was about to speak, the Law of Cycles appeared in the shop and slapped Madoka on the head.

A comical scene unfolded: Madoka's eyes, mouth, and nose flew off like paper cutouts. Then, with a snap, the Law of Cycles dragged the now powerless Ultimate Madoka to apologize to Liu Yuan.

"I'm sorry, this child intercepted our conversation and came to play early. We're very sorry for the trouble."

"It's okay, it's quite interesting."

"I'll come over in person later, but before that..."

The Law of Cycles decided to teach Madoka a lesson. Not only did she cause trouble, but her transformation was so clumsy, completely ruining her image. The Law of Cycles truly didn't know what had gotten into her brain to create such a thing, almost the complete opposite of her own personality.

Eliminating them? That's impossible. Since such small circles can appear, the Law of Circularity believes that this element must exist, and eliminating it would only make the future harm greater.

At the same time, another personal experience... the Law of Cycles also feels very interesting.

Hibiki Tachibana watched this farce unfold, and for some reason, when she saw the Law of Cycles, she felt a sense of familiarity. It was like seeing a loved one?

Just as she was thinking, she noticed that the two girls from before were sitting next to her.

"Hey hey hey?"

The sudden appearance of Madoka startled Hibiki Tachibana, but Madoka smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Madoka Kaname. What's your name?"

"Tachibana Hibiki!"

"What a lovely name! I'm a regular customer of this store~ Feel free to call me anytime if you need any help."

"Yes, senior!"

Xiao Yuan shook her head: "No need to be so polite, just call me..."

A small circle will suffice.

"Um!!!"

Hibiki Tachibana felt a sense of familiarity with the girl in front of her, and at the same time, she noticed that the girl's voice sounded very similar to her own.

With Madoka's help, Hibiki Tachibana also started experiencing internet cafe games. She first played Audition Online. She had no real singing or dancing skills, but in the game mode, she could experience the feeling of being on stage just by making simple movements, which fascinated her.

However, while she was experiencing it, she noticed that Xiao Yuan next to her was listening to a song that seemed to be very addictive.

"Hmm? The song I'm listening to is called 'Forbidden Borderline,' recommended by the boss. It's a really interesting song. After listening to it, I feel warm and full of energy. Shall I give it a try?"

After hesitating for a moment upon receiving the recommendation, Hibiki Tachibana took the headphones that Madoka handed her. As she put them on and listened to the melody, her eyes lit up.

"Besides these, there's also some good music."

Xiaoyuan played a song, and the moment the song started playing, Tachibana Hibiki's heart felt as if it were being struck by eighty-eighty blows.

The song is called Sis puella magica! Some people might not know the name, but everyone knows it as the background music used in Kewpie pyramid schemes.

While listening to this song, Hibiki Tachibana felt a sense of powerlessness. She felt deceived and exploited, but in the end, she felt as if a miracle had occurred.

After listening to this song, Hibiki Tachibana fell silent.

"how do you feel?"

"I feel...very uncomfortable."

"Um…"

Xiaoyuan said softly, "Because the things conveyed in the song are all things that actually happened. Hibiki, do you want to change your world, do you want to save more people?"

With just a simple exchange, Xiaoyuan knew what the girl in front of her would face in the future.

"Miracles and magic do exist..."

Madoka's voice was very soft, and Hibiki Tachibana, who was wearing headphones, didn't notice it at all. At the same time, she was also unaware that the pink power belonging to the Law of Cycles had entered her body.

In Madoka's eyes, Tachibana Hibiki was her junior, and it was perfectly reasonable and proper for Madoka, as a senior, to give her a small gift. Moreover…

Xiaoyuan didn't give any great power, but a blessing. This blessing had no power; it simply let those transcendent beings know one thing: she had someone above her.

Chapter 523 Hibiki Tachibana: Is it wrong for a singer and boxer like me to play a paladin?

"Choosing a career? Let me see... Hmm... How about this one?"

Inside the internet cafe, Hibiki Tachibana, guided by Madoka, opened the game DNF. It seems that DNF is helpful for any player who wants to fight.

The downside is that this game requires too much practice time for the average person. But Xiaoyuan thinks Tachibana Hibiki has plenty of time, and besides, there are so many games in internet cafes that you don't need to stick to just one.

Because there are so many games in internet cafes, someone has discovered a bug that is hard to classify as a bug.

The skill system in internet cafes for DNF is a proficiency system. If you are compatible with a certain class, your proficiency will increase rapidly.

Even if they don't match, as long as the prerequisite skill proficiency is up to standard, you can master advanced skills.

However, the Tear of the Shadow in the Low Stool Ring has a unique feature: as long as the player has mastered a skill, the big brother can unleash the full power of that skill.
