I'm just an internet cafe owner

Ashley didn't have many questions about playing the game at first, but when she saw the cutout of her "future," she was completely devastated.
And she was noticeably more irritable when playing games.
"***How could you go into such a dangerous place without enough ammunition? Who would use 30 rounds?"
"I'm going to Raccoon City, and I'm going to bomb my way there with plenty of bullets."
Ashley got angrier and angrier as she played, but the angrier she got, the more she played. However, during her adventures, she met Sherry, discovered some truths about the police station, and witnessed some illegal research being conducted by the Umbrella Corporation.
As the daughter of a senator, Ashley knew that politics had a dark side, but she never imagined that Raccoon City was so dark, conducting experiments on living people and treating an entire city's inhabitants as expendable resources. Ashley could not tolerate such things at all.
"Damn it! Damn it! How can there be such scum! Ah! I'm stuck."
Ashley found herself stuck while playing. Although the game mode is linear and spatially confined, it's not easy. Both the puzzles and combat present a challenge for players with no combat experience and those playing for the first time.
Thinking back to Subaru Natsuki, even when playing a game mode like the Elden Ring or the "Study Cave," he was easily beaten by a Grek soldier. Ashley, an ordinary person with no experience who only knew how to shoot and aim, was already quite good at card decryption.
"Damn it! Why can't we take this door down! Why do we have to look for the key!"
Since it's a game mode, the required procedures must be followed; if she wants to break down the door, she has to play the real mode. However, Ashley doesn't yet know some of the gameplay mechanics of the real mode; she's just going crazy in the game.
This police station is just too much of a puzzle! To get to this room, you need to find the key; to find the key, you have to cross the entire police station to reach the locker room; to open the locker room door, you need electricity. The whole process is crystal clear.
At that moment, Ashley understood without being taught what it meant to play games with a smile, and she also started looking for guides online.
Looking for game guides is never shameful, especially since games in internet cafes have been modified to lack quest prompts and map assistance, making it difficult for average players to find items.
After all, not all players are hardcore gamers, and many people wish they could relax a bit more in this real-world situation.
"let me see…"
Ashley first found a guide from a pro player, but as she looked at it, she squinted as if she saw something strange. Why did the red-haired girl in the game suddenly jump into the second floor? And how did William manage to walk right next to her while searching for supplies? Why couldn't William hit her? But when he hit her, he was incredibly accurate, slapping her every time.
My head is so itchy!
Looking at the expert's guide, Ashley felt a sudden itch on her head, as if her brain was about to disappear.
She took a deep breath: "No, is there anything simpler?"
The internet cafe's player assistance system was very intelligent. After determining that Ashley was probably in the bottom tier, it quietly recommended Tatsumi's brainless beginner's guide to her.
"Welcome to Raccoon City! This episode is a complete beginner's guide to Claire's route at the Raccoon City Police Department. I'm your Tatsumi~"
In the video, Tatsumi introduces himself. His gameplay explanation is extremely detailed—how detailed? It covers everything from how to enter the game, how to choose a character, what happens when you choose different characters, where the Easter eggs are, and how to avoid monster attacks.
There's a separate video on how to dodge William's attacks, with over 300 explanations. It clearly analyzes the attack patterns, attack range, and dodge methods of the G-series bows. It even includes several additional videos based on gender, height, and body shape.
"Look! There's a zombie up ahead. Claire says we have a gun, we'll aim for its knees. Someone might ask why the knees? That's because shooting the head..."
The head is hard to aim at because it moves back and forth, but the legs are in a straight line. Aiming at the knee almost never misses, but aiming at the head has a high probability of missing.
"We're not here to kill zombies, we're just passing through. We'll conserve our bullets and use melee combat whenever possible."
"Look! We've learned how to deal with ordinary zombies. Next, we'll learn how to get close to the tyrant."
"This is the Tyrant's attack range. Players under 170cm in height can refer to the Tyrant's dodging techniques for those under 170cm."
Anyone who can watch the video, understand the dialogue, and complete the game mode with their eyes closed can do it. In fact, many people posted their own copied versions of Tatsumi's videos after watching them.
"Thanks, master! I've already cleared the game with my eyes closed."
"Thanks, boss! I've already experienced over 3,600 different ways to die, and I'm aiming for 4,000!"
"Thanks, sir! Although I finished the game before the walkthrough came out, I still want to thank you as a matter of course."
The current Tatsumi game has a complete beginner's guide production team, comprising top talents from around the world. Those who initially copied these guides were simply trying to beat the game, but after playing for a while, some expert players also started watching the videos. There's no way around it; the expert players are so familiar with the game that they haven't seen many of the enemy mechanics and characteristics before.
Even though I've finished the game, I feel uneasy because I can't see these things. I'll check out the beginner's guide to avoid any unexpected accidents when I'm playing with others in the future.
After all, although the guide is detailed, it is so detailed that many newbies don't understand it well enough, and all sorts of unexpected things happen when they follow it.
Ashley studied the guide intently; it was a lifesaver for her. While she couldn't possibly read everything, mastering certain techniques greatly improved her gaming experience.
"So there really were bullets in the drawer."
"Hehe~ You can't hit me~ You can't hit me, ah!!!"
Ashley, confidently dodging, tripped over her own feet and fell, then was executed by William.
Chapter 558 Ashley: "Hello Lyon, my name is Sensible Ashley"
A week later, outside Raccoon City, USA. A blonde girl rode her motorcycle through the pouring rain to a fork in the road.
"Let me see, this direction is... Silent Hill? Ah! Sure enough, this is Raccoon City."
Ashley looked at the sign and set off on her motorcycle towards Raccoon City. Ashley was lucky; the sign wasn't faulty or installed backwards, and she was heading directly towards Raccoon City.
In fact, she had planned to go to Raccoon City a week ago, but her father stopped her.
Ashley wasn't so easily stopped these days. She bought a motorcycle directly from the player store and, along with plenty of weapons and equipment, headed to Raccoon City.
She saw some news about Raccoon City online. There were reports of irrational people biting others in Raccoon City.
Upon seeing the news, Ashley knew it was too late. But because of her age, and because her congressman father forbade her from going to Raccoon City, she could only go by bicycle.
As for driving? Driving is slower than cycling. As for safety, there's absolutely no need to worry; this kind of technology always puts your mind at ease.
Driving her motorcycle towards Raccoon City, Ashley saw the convenience store she had visited in the game halfway there.
"Was this where Lyon and Claire met?"
Playing Resident Evil lately, Ashley only has one feeling: Leon and Chris are so handsome, and Chris is truly a real man, and Pippin...
Having played Resident Evil, especially knowing that this was something that would happen in her own world, Ashley's heart was heavy. So many people had died because of the bio-virus research, and two heroes would have to fight for the rest of their lives because of it—this was something she couldn't accept.
In fact, after returning, she tried to change her world.
But she was too weak on her own. Even though she had a congressman father, the country she lived in was a capitalist country, a world that devoured people without spitting out their bones.
Forcibly exposing the technology in internet cafes will only plunge the world into greater conflict.
After meeting the political commissar named Yuri at the internet cafe, she knew what she had to do.
Using his identity and the power of the prophet, he resolved the Raccoon City crisis ahead of time, and then used his identity to find a way to reveal the truth and completely eliminate the virus.
However, things were not that simple. When she arrived in the city, it had already begun to descend into chaos.
At this point, thugs who had been biting people had appeared inside the police station, and patients had died from bites at the hospital. The city as a whole was still functioning, but the internet was cut off, and troops were about to block the entrances and exits.
Just like the convenience store Ashley arrived at, there was no one left. But seeing the motorcycles parked outside, Ashley knew Claire and Leon had arrived.
"Is it still too late?"
As Ashley was about to drive into Raccoon City, she heard gunshots coming from inside the convenience store. At the same time, a man and a woman ran out of the store, followed by several zombies staggering in pursuit.
"It seems I've arrived just in time."
Ashley gave a shout and then pulled out a sniper rifle.
"Leon! Claire, get down!"
Faced with the sudden shout to lie down, the two
Almost instinctively, Ashley dropped to the ground, then aimed and fired.
Bang bang bang! Three shots, all three headshots, the pursuing zombie staggered and finally collapsed to the ground.
Once she was sure there were no zombies chasing her, Ashley stopped aiming: "It's alright now."
Upon hearing Ashley's voice, the two stood up.
Leon: "Phew! That scared you. Thanks, little sister, but how did you know my name?"
Ashley smiled and said, "My best friend told me."
Claire patted the rain off her clothes and said, "I don't remember having any close friends who know a girl who carries a sniper rifle on the street."
Ashley confirmed, "Yes, because I know Chris, and he showed me your picture."
"You know my brother?"
Ashley affirmed, "I know him, I know him very well, I even know what he's doing."
Claire: "What is my brother doing? Why does it seem like he's disappeared?"
Ashley: "He's on a secret mission, a mission that's absolutely confidential. You two, what do you think of the zombies?"
Leon: "These guys are called zombies? This feels awful. Do you know anything about this?"
Hearing Leon's question, Ashley nodded: "I know a lot, which is why I'm going to this city to save the people who are still alive."
To eliminate the evidence, Raccoon City will be attacked with a nuclear bomb. Although the city has become a zombie amusement park, many ordinary people still live within its walls. She can't stop Raccoon City from becoming a living hell, but Ashley is determined to save as many survivors as possible.
Lyon: "Save more people? Has the city become like this too?"
Ashley: "Yes, it's become a living hell. You should leave quickly, it's too dangerous inside. Leave it to me."
Lyon objected, "I want to come too. I can't let a lady face danger."
Claire introduced herself, saying, "Since my brother mentioned me, you know me."
Ashley nodded and said, "I know, you can lift a heavy machine gun without it wobbling."
"Chris told you about this?"
"Hmm~"
Silence was the best answer. After all, Ashley had seen Claire wielding a heavy machine gun and firing away in the game. She had also specifically asked the internet cafe manager, who described that if what happened in the game were real, then that person could definitely do it—not for the sake of gameplay, but because it was truly possible.
Hearing Claire's question now only confirmed this.
Lyon then asked, "You know our names, but we don't know yours."
Ashley looked at Leon. In the game, she understood why her future self had fallen for him. But how to put it? After playing the game, she actually felt Leon and Ada Wong had more of a romantic connection, while she... preferred Alicia.
Alicia has a beautiful voice and a gentle tone, and most importantly, she absolutely loves the girlish scent she exudes.
However, Ashley quickly interrupted her daydream. She coughed twice and formally introduced herself: "My name is Director Ashley, you can just call me by my name."
"Director Li?"
"This name is so interesting..."
Ashley said earnestly, "That's right! My name is Director Ashley! Since you two are willing to come with me to Raccoon City, let's set off. The government is going to use nuclear weapons to clean up this place, and before that, we must rescue as many people as possible."
Both Leon and Claire were filled with a sense of justice, and upon hearing that something like this was going to happen, they impulsively decided to follow along.
