I'm just an internet cafe owner

One of her goals was to ensure the survival of those with abilities. Besides that, she also wanted to test her adoptive father. She had already recalled the suspicious aspects of her parents' deaths, and now she needed to find an opportunity to meet with her adoptive father and, incidentally, learn the truth about their deaths from his memory.

Chapter 531 Dead by Daylight and Werewolf

While Hiiragi Nana was taking action, the internet cafe's latest game update also stunned the owner, Liu Yuan.

Currently, the internet cafe consists of one main store and five branch stores, with fourteen staff members including him and Kisaragi. The two new games added this time are Dead by Daylight and Werewolf.

Dead by Daylight is a classic game. It's a five-player game, with one killer and four survivors. Both the killer and the survivors have their own professions, and different professions grant different abilities.

The gameplay is simple: the killer tries to catch the survivors, while the survivors repair machines, open exit gates, and escape. This game is essentially an upgraded version of hide-and-seek, but its thrill can only be truly appreciated by those who have played it.

There's also a censored version of the game, somewhat similar to Identity V, completely devoid of gore and horror, making it suitable for players who don't enjoy blood and violence. The map and skills remain unchanged, but the characters and environments become more cute and appealing, retaining the tense and exciting chase feel while engaging players at all levels.

While Dead by Daylight is exciting and engaging, some people simply don't like that style and choose to play Identity V instead.

The second game is Werewolf.

He initially thought Werewolf was the typical game with 4 werewolves, 4 gods, and 4 villagers, but upon closer inspection, Liu Yuan discovered that the game contained a lot more content.

This game includes a series of gameplay modes such as Space Werewolf and Goose & Duck. Although Goose & Duck and Space Werewolf are somewhat similar, the system still provides a very detailed classification.

Players of Space Werewolf can practice emergency maintenance knowledge in space while enjoying the fun of the game. Goose and Duck Werewolf has simpler tasks, with a difficulty level generally 9+.

However, based on Liu Yuan's understanding of his shop's customers, the same person might be able to complete a Space Werewolf game task in a few seconds, but in Goose and Duck Killing, the task might take half a day to complete.

The rewards in these two games are rather mediocre. Dead by Daylight's reward is mainly escape and pursuit abilities, which Liu Yuan felt no internet cafe customers needed right now. After all, learning the pursuit ability in Dead by Daylight gives you a Johnny-like feeling.

The game Werewolf has absolutely no rewards. If you had to say... could you learn actual spaceship repair experience?

Although the rewards aren't great, these two games are genuinely fun games!

"Great! I didn't expect two games to be released this time. Let me count... Perfect timing, we can play Werewolf all night!"

These two games don't require much prior knowledge of the game content, since they are essentially PvP games with no complicated controls or storylines; they are simply about the scheming and intrigue between players.

When the new game was released, Jibril exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! A new game! Werewolf?"

Liu Yuan leaned over and said, "Yes, do you guys want to join us? This is a game that's more fun the more people there are!"

"I want to play!"

"Come here~"

As staff members, although everyone has different favorite game genres, when a new game is released, especially a multiplayer game like this, everyone can't help but participate.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Mizuno Ai, a newcomer, asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this game?"

Upon hearing the question, Alicia asked curiously, "Ai~ have you ever played a game called 'Fall Flat'?"

"I've played it, it's very fun, but it feels a bit too easy."

As a staff member, you can only play games after get off work. In addition, everyone plays a variety of games. As a newcomer, Mizuno Ai was too embarrassed to ask the other staff members to play with her, so she played by herself.

When she played it herself, she felt that the puzzles were okay and quite fun, but the movement of the soft characters was also quite difficult, and then that was about it.

Seeing Ai Mizuno's puzzled look, Alicia held up a finger and wagged it: "Playing Human: Fall Flat alone is indeed a very boring game. Many games in internet cafes are like that; playing alone feels the same, but when there are many people, the game becomes a different story. Ai~ Let's experience the joy of the game together~"

Alicia sent out an invitation, and all the internet cafe staff members entered the game without exception.

For a better gaming experience, Liu Yuan chose to play Goose and Duck Kill, because other werewolves could not speak or have fun with players after killing them, but Goose and Duck Kill allowed that.

The gameplay is very simple: two assassins kill people, and a group of ordinary players complete missions. These ordinary players have classes that allow them to use certain skills. For example, if Jibril is paired with the detective, she can shoot and choose someone to jump on. If she jumps on the right person, she's safe; if she jumps on the wrong person, both she and the other person die.

As the game began, Jibril was already prepared to shoot Liu Yuan dead during the first round of discussion.

However, Liu Yuan died much faster than expected. In the game, Kisaragi was doing a mission with Liu Yuan. Coincidentally, Alicia and Mizuno Ai were both eliminated in this round.

As assassins, they have a unique way of communicating.

"Senior, what should we do?"

After realizing that Mizuno Ai was like herself, Alicia chuckled softly and said, "Ai~ let me ask you, what do you think is the most fun thing about playing this game?"

"victory?"

"Yes and no~ Let me ask you another question: do you think a smile can disappear?"

"Really?"

"Wait a minute~ The smile won't disappear, it'll just move on. You haven't been working here long, and you haven't experienced the joy of the system yet. Today, I'll let you experience it~"

Alicia's tone was cheerful. While everyone was doing their tasks, Alicia and Mizuno Ai used the pipes to reach Liu Yuan and Kisara.

The two were currently focused on their quest, but as a married couple, their game wasn't exactly harmonious. Both were wary of the other being their assassin, and even secretly regretted not being the assassin themselves, failing to successfully kill the other.

However, just as the two were feeling regret, they sensed a murderous intent.

"Oh no! There's murderous intent!"

"Quick, we..."

Liu Yuan and Mu Geng were about to hold an emergency meeting, which proceeded as they had anticipated, except that it was a meeting to discuss the deaths of Liu Yuan and Mu Geng.

At this moment, Liu Yuan and Mu Geng, now ghosts, are watching this speech.

Since it was a speaking session, there was an order to speak. Although everyone was free to speak, in the first round, everyone spoke according to their assigned numbers. Coincidentally, Alicia was the first, so she spoke first.

At this moment, Alicia spoke slowly and deliberately: "I don't know what happened, but I remember... um... it seems like there was a pink-haired person following the boss and Kisaragi."

Upon hearing this, a third of the survivors fell silent. Sherry, Coral Palace Heartsea, and Jibril all had pink hair.

Before Number Two could even speak, Jibril interrupted, "Everyone! You know me. If I wanted to kill the boss, none of you would have noticed. Forget it, I'm too lazy to play around once the boss's dead. I'm the sheriff; I can pick someone to shoot. It's you! Alicia!"

Alicia: "?"

Chapter 532 Liu Yuan: "I'm playing games while howling"

Alicia is dead, but Jibril is alive. At this moment, Jibril is shocked.

"Why didn't I die? Would I have died even if I hadn't killed people randomly?"

With the boss no longer an option, the rest of the game held no appeal for Jibril. Winning? It didn't matter; killing Liu Yuan was her source of joy.

Alicia's expression froze completely. She had acted perfectly from beginning to end, only to run into Jibril, that jerk. The reason for the sabotage was simple: just because Alicia was the first to speak? And that's why she got sabotaged?

At this moment, Ai Mizuno finally understood the words from her senior.

"The smile will never disappear."

Because she could feel a smile on her face, and not only herself, but also Liu Yuan and Mu Geng, who were the first to be stabbed, smiled.

"Gah gah gah gah! Alicia, you dared to stab me, now you're dead too!"

Kisara, also in spirit form, stood beside Liu Yuan: "Gagaga! Let's watch their performance together in spirit form."

Dead players can play with other players and even see what other players are doing.

Unfortunately, Ai Mizuno's lack of gaming experience and poor concealment led to her actions being discovered after she killed two people.

game over.

"Alicia-senpai! This game is really fun!"

Mizuno Ai wore an excited smile, while Alicia couldn't manage a smile at all. Although she had successfully eliminated Liu Yuan, the game ended in such a comical way, leaving her feeling extremely uncomfortable.

However, it wasn't a big problem, and the second game started soon.

However, not long after the second round began, Liu Yuan was attacked again. This time, Mu Geng was more experienced and kept her distance from Liu Yuan.

"what!!"

Why?!

"Why did you cut me? You're docking my pay! You're docking my pay!"

At this moment, Liu Yuan was in a state of impotent rage in his soul form. Despite being the owner of the internet cafe, he was the first to die.

However, after a short while in his soul state, Kisara appeared beside Liu Yuan.

"I am coming."

Hearing Mugeng's voice, Liu Yuan asked curiously, "Why did you hang up? Aren't you far away from me this time?"

Kisara said sadly, "Isn't it all because of you? They think I'm related to you, and regardless of whether I killed anyone, they just voted me out first."

"So, are you one of them?"

"I am, and I'm the one who cut you, hehe~ cough cough, don't even think about deducting your wages. How many employees in our shop are paid? I'm already doing a great job by not owing you any money!"

"It seems so... there really isn't anything to deduct."

However, while Liu Yuan and Mu Geng were complaining, Alicia, who seemed to have lost all will to live, appeared in front of them.

"Boss, Kisara, wait for me! Waaaaah, Kisara, I need a hug to comfort me!"

What's wrong with you now?

"I…"

Thinking about what she had gone through, Alicia almost cried. She didn't have any status in this round, but in the second round, Jibril happily found her and killed her.

In Jibril's own words: "If I kill you, I won't be suspected!"

At this moment, Alicia felt deep regret, regretting that she had told Mizuno Ai that smiles don't disappear, they just transfer. Now, her smile...

He disappeared, and the others wore happy smiles.

Jibril was quite effective; after several rounds of acting cute and silly, no one discovered that she was a killer.

Those who had been stabbed and those who had been thrown out were stunned when they discovered that Jibril was the one who killed them.

"Little Ji... is he such a good actor?"

Chelsea's question also reflected the thoughts of the other victims. In their impression, Xiao Ji was unreliable, didn't like to use his brain, and often caused all sorts of accidents while playing games.

Faced with this question, Liu Yuan looked shocked: "No way... do you guys really consider Xiao Ji a decent person?"

"Isn't that... the case?"

Makise Kurisu then teased, "She doesn't seem very bright at all..."

After all, Jibril is a very long-time employee. She is the third employee in the store, and only Rick, Shubi, the Machine Race, the Sky Wing Race, Liu Yuan, and Kisara know her details.

Due to work, Jibril can hardly spend time with her family back home.

Playing games with everyone at the internet cafe? Too lazy to think.

In Jibril's own words: "Playing video games is too tiring because it requires too much brainpower. I prefer to play on instinct."
