I'm just an internet cafe owner

In this state, you can master any direct skill and then summon a clone teardrop to beat up the enemy, a move that is almost impossible to counter.

Especially the skills of the Sharpshooter series, once you understand their principles, if you have the money, you can directly buy the complete technology package from the Machine Gunners and replicate all the advanced skills in reality at almost no cost.

That's why Madoka let Hibiki choose a profession to play around with first, and then she took Hibiki to get the Imitation Teardrop when they closed for two hours. Even without the Imitation Teardrop, the ashes summoned by the Soul Bell are strong enough to handle battles against so-called "divine messengers" in the general world.

Madoka thought that Hibiki Tachibana would choose the Fighter series, or at least the Gunslinger or Magician series, but to her utter surprise, Hibiki Tachibana chose the Cleric series, and the Male Cleric series at that.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with my choice?"

At this moment, Xiaoyuan remained silent. From what she knew, the characters chosen by the customers in the internet cafe were indeed quite unique. For example, Agumon, who was clearly a combat-type digital monster, was playing as a summoner.

There's also Goblin Slayer, who seems destined to become a powerful warrior and chose to become a priest.

And then there's Dumbledore. He's clearly a wizard, so it wouldn't be surprising if he played a wizard series, but he ended up playing a swordsman, specifically the berserker from the swordsman series.

Believe it or not, Berserkers are actually quite popular in internet cafes right now. Xiaoyuan has leveled up four Ghost Knights, and aside from Ghostblade, she can play the other classes without any problems when no one's around. It's just that Ghostblade's skills aren't very useful. Since her rank is too high, when she uses Ghostblade's skills, she always summons some weird and strange creatures. After all, judging by the level of the ghosts and gods that Ghostblade summons... they're really not qualified to come and see her.

In Madoka's opinion, Hibiki Tachibana would be best suited for a fighting game series, or at least a Blue Fist or Inquisition series, but instead, a priest was chosen...

"No problem, why did you choose this?"

indivual?"

"Hehe~ I feel that if I give myself a buff that makes me stronger when I'm fighting, I can defeat my opponent more easily."

"... "

This theory makes perfect sense. Xiaoyuan gave up thinking about it too. After all, in an internet cafe, unless someone has a very urgent matter in real life, most people just play whatever they like when they play games.

According to feedback from netizens, it seems that people who don't play games, especially online games, are the ones who do the tricks at this internet cafe.

While Madoka was personally mentoring the newcomers, Mizuno Ai was also instructing Hoshino Ai on how to play the game.

Unfortunately, although the games recommended by Ai Mizuno were very helpful in becoming an idol, Ai Hoshino didn't play either of them; instead, she played Clannad.

The reason she played this game is simple: her name is Ai (Love), but unlike Mizuno Ai, Hoshino Ai had never experienced love before. However, in this game, she experienced love and understood what responsibility is.

Twelve hours equal twelve minutes. To Hibiki Tachibana, this exaggerated time ratio meant an extra half-day of study and play time for no reason.

Over the next few weeks, she experienced all sorts of games at the internet cafe.

until…

"Whew~ My luck is amazing today!!!"

Today, while leading a group to defeat the Zombie King, Tachibana Hibiki obtained a Vanishing Windbreaker, which is worth hundreds of thousands of yen in internet cafes. Without much hesitation, she sold the Vanishing Windbreaker immediately.

Firstly, she plays a priest, and plate armor is essential for maximizing her combat effectiveness. Secondly, her internet budget is limited; selling this piece of equipment would cover her internet fees for a long time, and it could also help with her daily expenses.

Meanwhile, during this period, Hibiki Tachibana played a lot of games, not only leveling up the male paladin's skills but also the female paladin's. The only drawback of these two classes is that some buffs conflict. In the game, if both classes are played as support, they rarely team up together. However, in reality, players can use different skills according to their needs. For example, could they use the female paladin's simple buffing method and then swing their hammer?

Unfortunately, Hibiki Tachibana wasn't interested in swinging a hammer. So she tried out other professions, but just as Madoka predicted, Hibiki had exceptional talent in the fighter class, and she learned many of the Sanda and Judo skills after only one lesson.

Even in MUGEN, Hibiki Tachibana was highly praised by Baki and Garou.

"This girl's tough; let's box together!"

"Don't imitate that guy, come and learn boxing from me."

Seeing his two good brothers' enthusiasm, Sun Wukong also extended an invitation to Tachibana Hibiki, as Master Roshi would definitely visit them in the coming days. Under Master Roshi's guidance and through training in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online), Sun Wukong learned many skills as a Qi Master, and also mastered some Striker and Judo skills.

While her studies at the internet cafe continued uninterrupted, Tachibana Hibiki's entertainment in real life also kept going; she had even bought tickets for the Twin Wings duo's concert today. With daily internet use and idol-chasing, her living expenses were almost gone. Now that she could get so much money by selling a single piece of equipment, she naturally sold it immediately.

"Concert~ Concert~"

However, while queuing outside the venue, Tachibana Hibiki received a message from his wife saying she couldn't come.

"Huh? Why? You were the one who asked me out..."

Hibiki Tachibana's tone was tinged with disappointment. It wasn't that Hirahara had stood her up for no reason; rather, her grandmother was ill and she simply couldn't come.

There was nothing he could do; he was already there and there was no going back. Hibiki Tachibana decided to just stay where he was and watch the concert.

Although she can participate in concerts through Audition Online in internet cafes, how to put it? Going on stage yourself and participating in someone else's performance are completely different experiences. Especially the Twin Wings duo, they're a hugely popular group, and tickets are incredibly hard to get—you absolutely have to see them!

Stepping into the concert venue and seeing countless people sitting in their seats waiting, Hibiki Tachibana was also filled with excitement and anticipation for the concert to begin.

While waiting in line, bored, Tachibana Hibiki scrolled through her TT (a game mechanic), watching players speculate about DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online). Some players were guessing what the future awakenings would look like, and some even simulated possible events based on the current skills of different classes. Tachibana Hibiki was particularly interested in one of the possible awakenings for the Striker class.

Although her main character is a Paladin, no one says that an alt character can't play a Striker, right?

Chapter 524 Hibiki Tachibana: Faith... Never mind, the God of War will kick you! (Bonus Chapter)

The concert began, and as the Twin Wings appeared from the center of the stage, Hibiki Tachibana waved a glow stick that matched the color of her hair.

The concert reached its climax the moment this duo appeared.

The audience waved glow sticks to the beat, and the concert venue's roof fully opened at that moment. As the sun set, the two singers' voices made everyone in the audience dance.

Regardless of time or place, race or gender, the yearning for music and the experience of its spiritual impact are universal.

Since ancient times, red and blue have been considered a perfect match. The songs and eye contact between the two girls with red and blue hair on stage made the cheers from the audience deafening.

On stage, the two songstresses finished their performance and were preparing to liven up the atmosphere before starting the next battle. Suddenly, Tachibana Hibiki in the audience felt a very...

A bad feeling.

This feeling is similar to when you're in the Screaming Cave with the pros, and the Insect King is about to emerge from the ground – there's danger underground!

Almost instinctively, Hibiki Tachibana stood up. The summoning bell rang, and gray liquid dripped from the bell. The clone, Hibiki Tachibana, had appeared.

The two of them tacitly put an angel halo over each other's heads, and then the imitation teardrops teleported to the other side of the audience, forming a symmetry with their original selves.

The two used their skills almost simultaneously.

"God will protect you."

"Holy Light!"

"God will guide you."

"God's teachings!"

The two singers on stage noticed the unusual activity in the audience. Before they could even speak, an explosion occurred in the center of the venue.

In an instant, something resembling an insect suddenly appeared at the concert venue. But at that very moment, a divine light enveloped everyone present.

The female paladin's job advancement skill, Holy Light Protection, creates a protective shield of holy light that protects everyone on the field.

"Surrounded by holy light!"

Seeing the monsters appear in clusters, Hibiki Tachibana almost instinctively used the Paladin's powerful control skill.

The teardrop-shaped figure has its arms in the middle in a horse stance, while a huge protective shield protects the entire area.

A massive halo surrounded the suddenly appearing monsters, which were called Noises and possessed a phase difference barrier that allowed them to adjust their presence in the world to reduce or nullify damage.

Ordinary firearms are unlikely to cause effective damage, but Tachibana Hibiki uses an extraordinary ability. The power of a Paladin in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online) is derived from faith in a deity. Of course, whether this deity exists or not is irrelevant; faith alone generates power.

The power of this holy light was effective against the monsters, binding them. The audience, now fully buffed, escaped the concert venue in the blink of an eye.

Hibiki Tachibana did not launch an attack immediately. She had learned a lesson from DNF and the Old Man's Ring: if there is enough time, you must apply all your buffs before fighting.

However, just as she was about to pull out her hammer and start fighting, she suddenly realized that the two songstresses who had been singing earlier had pulled out weapons and started fighting.

"Hey?"

Hibiki Tachibana was clearly taken aback; how could her idol be acting strangely?

Instead, the teardrop-shaped creature sighed helplessly. This owner was the worst it had ever managed. But what could it do? It was Tachibana Hibiki who had summoned it.

The strategy involves switching between the Teardrop and other similar abilities. Since someone is dealing damage, the role of a support character is to protect them.

Hibiki Tachibana also sensed something at this moment. She and the replica teardrop exchanged a glance, and then the two of them, along with the ashes, made a prayer gesture at the same time.

Then two background music tracks started playing at the scene.

The Hymn of Rebirth can greatly reduce the damage taken by friendly units and quickly heal their wounds.

The Hymn of Courage deals holy light damage to enemies over a very large area, and this holy light also enhances the amplification effects of the Blessing of Courage.

These two sacred song skills from DNF should theoretically have corresponding singing styles, but the beliefs of the priests of the Arad continent are...

After all, back then, Michelle was punished and killed as needed. For the priests of Arad, it doesn't matter what you sing, as long as it's for protecting humanity and the world of Arad, you can sing whatever you want, as long as the meaning is there.

That's why the two Hibiki Tachibana singers sang different songs.

Hibiki Tachibana's voice, releasing a hymn of new life, filled the entire concert venue.

见つめあって爱をして

I'm chasing after myself in a dream without me

だけどもっと知りたくて

Unlike Hibiki Tachibana, the Imitation Teardrop sang another song that Hibiki Tachibana had unintentionally sung. Actually, the Imitation Teardrop could release her skill without singing, but she was overwhelmed with emotion and spoke up.

Calling

You hear the

Calling

This rhythmic song did not clash with Hibiki Tachibana's singing. On the contrary, when the two completely different songs sang together, they provided a powerful boost to the battle maidens who remained in the arena.

An unfamiliar song and a mysteriously appearing accompaniment filled the entire concert venue. Yes, this was the song "Forbidden Frontier" that Tachibana Hibiki had heard when she first came to the internet cafe. The song's powerful force was felt by Kazanari Tsubasa and Amaga Kanade, who had just completed their transformations.

"she is???"

Disbelief flickered in both of their eyes; they could clearly feel their power had doubled.

The battle of the War Maidens has begun, and as War Maidens, they sing their own songs during the battle.

Logically, four people singing different songs at the same time would definitely cause interference, but a wonderful reaction occurred on site. The four songs blended together without interfering with each other, even though they were in different people's beats.

As Fengmingyi felt the increase in speed and power, he couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

"What amazing power!"

Meanwhile, Amayu Kanade laughed loudly, "Forget about all that, let's kill these guys!"

The monsters called Noise sensed the change in the power of the scene and abandoned their scattered attack. After all, all the humans, whether they could run or not, had disappeared under Tachibana Hibiki's buff.

Therefore, instead of dispersing our power, we should concentrate it together. The power of the two battle maidens.

They were very strong, but Noise sensed that the girl named Tachibana Hibiki was the culprit behind the increased power of these two battle maidens.

It launched an attack on Hibiki Tachibana. Noise has the ability to instantly kill humans; anyone who touches it will be turned to ashes.
