I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Of course, he is very interested in the changes in your body. If you return voluntarily, we can choose to leave you with a complete corpse."

The moment Tina used the fungal virus to corrode all technology and perfectly replace it, Ann Rand, who was modifying her, received a signal: a virus she had never seen before, with almost perfect properties, capable of even replacing technological products.

In that instant, he issued the order to arrest Tina. She could die, but her body would be left behind. The reward was so generous that even police organizations from other countries were tempted and rushed to the Tokyo area. Hiruko and her father were the closest to the Tokyo area and wanted to take her down directly for the bounty.

However, Tina smiled at this moment, she put away her weapon and waved her hand.

"who?"

Hiruko Kagetane suddenly turned around and saw a round, frog-like gray head.

"Your father!"

Liu Yuan instantly grabbed his head and stared at him, while flames erupted from Liu Yuan's seven orifices and flowed into Hiruko Kagetane's body.

"Going crazy! Going crazy~"

Unlike Fujimaru Kaori, Liu Yuan, who has become the God King of Elden, can cause trouble when using his skills. For example, he keeps shouting that he's going crazy, acting like a madman.

"Ahhhh!"

Within a few breaths, the mad fire completely invaded Hiruko Kageyu's body.

"Fire! Fire! Ah! I can't die! I can't..."

Hiruko Kagetane's body and soul were burned to ashes at that moment, leaving behind only a pile of machinery and his daughter.

Liu Yuan didn't have any particular quirks, and was just about to casually take care of the elite monster when Tina stopped him.

"Boss...can I have her?"

Hiruko Kohina stared blankly at the spot where Hiruko Kagetane had disappeared. How could her father, who had been speaking just a moment ago, have vanished?

"Daddy, Daddy? Doesn't Daddy want little Hina anymore?"

Tina saw herself and her other sisters reflected in Hiruko Kohina. Just like she had been, her only support was that unreliable adult. She didn't understand the meaning of her existence in this world; her only purpose was to serve as a weapon to 'please' their master.

She imagined what it would be like if Hiruko Kohina had a father like Ethan, who wouldn't have rejected her for her viral infection, would have cared for her, and would have risked his own life for his daughter. Then, she should be as angry as Rose at the end, not so lost.

Tina felt that her life was over, but the girl in front of her might still be saved.

"Give her to me. We're all the same. Boss, tell me, why did we come into this world? Wouldn't it have been a better choice if we hadn't been born into this world?"

These philosophical questions gave Liu Yuan a headache. He was a very practical person, and he preferred to think about what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner rather than such things.

"I can't answer that for you, but they can."

Liu Yuan sent a list of books to Tina via TT. These books were added to his reading list when he watched Luo Xiang talk about life principles, but he didn't read any of them.

Chapter Fifty: Tina's Amazing Experience

Where can I find these books?

"I have some for sale here, but they're very expensive. I suggest you ask Claire or Chris to help you find them when you enter the game. The game is set in the modern era, so they should have them. Or you can check if there are any of these in your world."

Liu Yuan believed that even after the apocalypse, some of humanity's cultural treasures would definitely be preserved. However, he still couldn't understand how this world's chain of hatred towards the Cursed Child had formed.

Gastrea destroyed the world, and then some pregnant women were infected with the virus and gave birth to children carrying the virus. Shouldn't they be pitied, protected, and treated? Why the sudden hostility?

Liu Yuan simply does not believe that there was no public opinion guiding this.

Tina noted down the book title; she planned to look for it when she got back.

"Boss... are you going back?"

"Why wouldn't you go? Your brother's about to be killed too. If you don't run away soon, you can forget about living a normal life in this world. Alright, get some rest. I can still wait for you to go online and spend money tomorrow."

Liu Yuan left, but the trouble he caused before he left was quite significant. Throwing a pull tab into someone's bowl was at most unethical, and a beating would suffice. But when the police and officers arrived, he noticed something strange.

There are only two possibilities for a monster to be marked as a "monster" by the internet cafe system: either the other party is a monster, or the other party is a monster disguised as a human.

Murder, arson, and the ravages of the weak—to deal with such people, Liu Yuan wouldn't just throw a few punches; instead, he would have his older brother activate the Elden Meteor Shower for full-screen tracking.

The Elden meteor shower, an automatically tracking prayer, ensures that no one present will be harmed.

Because Liu Yuan caused too much damage, the whole city is now searching for him. If he doesn't run away soon, he'll cause trouble for Tina.

Liu Yuan ran away, but after he left, Tina started searching online for the books Liu Yuan had mentioned. It's a pity.

Some books can be found online, while others cannot. According to online sources, the current web servers were established later, and many books have not yet been entered.

Some are rumored to have been taken over by the authorities and banned from being viewed by civilians in any way.

However, through an introduction from a long-time friend, Tina bypassed three layers of firewalls to access the country's internet. A large portion of the books there could be searched directly, while only a small portion, clearly marked as having been lost and unreadable after the network was rebuilt, remained unsearchable.

However, while she was browsing this website for information, she came across a video.

This is a video posted by a law professor before the catastrophe. Decades have passed, and the original video file was lost due to the catastrophe, but survivors uploaded it again after the website was rebuilt.

"We are not on the stage we chose, and the performance is not the script we chose."

"We cannot decide our birth, our intelligence, or the help we receive from benefactors."

"If you encounter these setbacks in your life, you have two choices: either give up or continue to perform your own script well."

She saw some information about the Cursed Children inside the walls; there, they weren't called Cursed Children, but Patients. Even the most ordinary person infected with Gastrum could purchase inhibitors through health insurance.

In the video, these children are innocent; they have fathers and mothers. While there will be reports of discrimination against them, compared to other places where they are frequently abused and murdered, this may be paradise…

In addition, Tina also saw countless suggestions and ideas on forums about how 'cursed children' abroad can improve their lives.

"Patients infected with gastroenteritis abroad have been completely abandoned. They are too young, and the brainwashing by foreign media has been completed. They only have two ways to improve their lives: either someone has a change of heart and establishes laws, or someone among them can travel through time and obtain large amounts of resources from other worlds. Finally, there's another way: to gain status through force. They possess power unmatched by ordinary people, and with sufficient ideology as guidance, ample food, and the alliance of those who still have a conscience, theoretically, they can turn the tide."

Upon seeing these comments, Tina couldn't help but reply.

"You don't understand anything."

Then this netizen named 'Libra' started to analyze the situation from a real-world perspective and replied: "If Gastrea can appear, who knows if time travelers will appear? If a time traveler travels abroad and sees the children's miserable state, he will definitely do everything he can to save them."

At that moment, Tina finally understood why this country's internet had three walls. She also understood why, for so many years, all the news about this country was negative, and why ordinary people were even prohibited from flying to this country.

She didn't understand politics very well, but she understood that this was a form of information blockade imposed on them by these countries.

She and the leech Kohina sat on the stairs of an abandoned building. Kohina's father was gone, and she had lost her purpose in life. All she could do was follow the person who had defeated her father.

Tina, on the other hand, found her purpose in life.

A survival plan quickly formed in her mind. There could be several thousand Cursed Children in the entire Tokyo area. She couldn't provide them with enough food and educational materials, but she knew the people in the internet cafes could.

The next day, when the internet cafe opened for business, Tina was the first to come in.

"Yo Tina, how are you feeling?"

"Thank you, boss. I've found the meaning of my life."

"That's fine~ How long will you be open today?"

"Um... Boss, my bank card has been frozen and the account closed... I probably won't be able to play for much longer."

Liu Yuan shook his head: "Closing your account and spending your money don't conflict. Just use it with peace of mind. No one can take away or erase what belongs to you."

Just as Gan Yu couldn't use the money Ning Guang had taken, Tina's share of assets wouldn't be erased by any means. To prevent Tina from facing financial hardship, Liu Yuan casually deposited all the money from her card into her account.

"I've withdrawn all the money that was canceled or frozen. Just ask me for it when you need it; there's a lot of money."

There's a lot of money, a full 130 million yuan. That's enough for Liu Yuan to set up over a hundred computers and play several good games.

"Thank you, boss!"

Upon hearing Tina's thanks, Kisara retorted, "Did you do something strange to little Tina yesterday?"

"No, I just took her out for some casual fun. If I had to categorize it, it would be more like a date."

"What? Boss! You pervert, you deserve to be punished by heaven."

"I've already explained! You insist it's a date, but it's really just an elder taking a younger person out for fun, okay? What kind of lewd nonsense is in your head?"

"No, today I'm going to defy my superiors and kill a boss as a sacrifice to the heavens."

So this time, Ms. Kisaragi was bound hand and foot by Liu Yuan and thrown into the lounge, where she was to be kept for no more than an hour. Liu Yuan could tolerate it once or twice, but if it happened too often, she would make sure her dear Ms. Kisaragi knew exactly who was in charge of this shop.

Meanwhile, when Minato Namikaze and Gan Yu came to use the internet, Tina came over.

"Mr. Minato, Ms. Gan Yu, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with..."

Tina came up with a good idea: to trade with the other members of the internet cafe to obtain supplies, and then use these supplies to first reach the Tokyo area.

The cursed children of the domain developed.

Chapter 51 Red Alert

"A trade? Barter or something else?"

When Minato asked Tina how she wanted to trade, Tina fell silent. She felt she had been too presumptuous and had nothing to offer.

Liu Yuan leaned closer: "There really are some. For example, Tina can exchange her world's highly productive rice, wheat, and watermelon seeds for several years' worth of food. Just give her half of the extra harvest based on the average yield of previous years. It doesn't need to be much, just enough to maintain the three-year contract."

Minato Namikaze found the suggestion feasible, if production could be significantly increased and the surplus could be traded.

"Yes, as long as there is a significant increase in crop yield, we can give you more than half of the average yield per acre."

After speaking, Minato winked at Tina, while Kushina patted him on the shoulder. At that moment, he felt death approaching.

Since everyone came from different worlds, and with Liu Yuan acting as an intermediary, Minato Namikaze readily agreed. If this were true, it would be an absolute windfall for Konoha.

In the days that followed, Tina brought various high-yield seeds from her world. Tina had carefully calculated the yields, and for Konoha, this yield was almost double.

Minato Namikaze, with an investment mindset, prepared some military rations for Tina. These things didn't taste good, but they were easy to make, filling, and provided a lot of energy.

For the Cursed Children, the issue now isn't how good the food is, but whether there's enough. If there's enough, Tina can attract more of them. Many children are on the verge of starvation; given just a bite to eat, they'd be willing to risk their lives for Tina.

Meanwhile, Tina is also searching for suitable Initiators, targeting those who have been abused and are barely surviving. She now has three goals: to complete the Biohazard arc, which is already developing inhibitors and fusion agents; to gather more Cursed Children; and to obtain enough food and books for everyone.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The internet cafe currently has nine people and eleven computers. Each person spends twelve hours online intensively, earning 5400 yuan a day at 50 yuan per hour for internet access. If others consume food and drinks, the daily income exceeds 6000 yuan.

Recently, Liu Yuan has been cutting costs and increasing revenue, and most of the revenue share he received from the system has been added back to the system.

Including his previous income and the resources he gained from helping Fujimaru collect materials around the world, Liu Yuan now has...

+ cash flow.

He's now thinking about making money faster and more.

Anime, movies, and practical software are excluded. Aside from spreadsheets, other office software isn't very useful to these people right now; they'll buy it when they need it more.

Liu Yuan had saved up a huge sum. He first opened 11 machines, and then used the remaining 2+ to buy a new game.
