I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Is this tactic really feasible?"

In Takeo Shin'o's understanding, generating negative emotions, whether fear, despair, or anger, requires significant external stimulation. Liu Yuan's advice to him was a very...

It's so simple to operate that anyone can do it.

At the same time, Liu Yuan specifically reminded Takeo Shin'o: "When you do this, be careful not to get killed."

But even if he were killed, as the Demon King Satan, he would still try, because in Liu Yuan's suggestion, he saw the possibility of enabling his people to live peacefully.

As the Demon King, he naturally hoped that the demons could live normal lives, but unfortunately, that was not possible. However, Liu Yuan's suggestion was an opportunity, an opportunity to change the demon realm.

His initial intention to conquer the world was to prevent the Demon Realm from becoming a desolate wasteland five hundred years later. However, peace would surely make hatred and fear disappear. But Liu Yuan gave him a method that would allow hatred and fear to remain, but the world would still be at peace!

Turn off the power.

Chapter 579 The Real Demon King Dares to Shut Down an Internet Cafe (Bonus Chapter)

That's right! Liu Yuan's insane method was to turn off the power, and not just any power, but the power to the internet cafe. Moreover, this internet cafe couldn't be an ordinary one; it had to be a place where everyone played games.

However, Shin'o Wu was very doubtful whether his plan could succeed.

So, in the Demon King's Castle, which is also the apartment where he now lives, he had a conversation with his strategist, the Demon Grand Marshal Elsil, now known as Ashiya Shiro.

"Demon King! Are you telling the truth?"

"Damn it! Can this really grant me magic power?"

While Elsil was shocked, another Lucifer, now known as Hanzo Urushihara, exclaimed in alarm, "What an evil plan! Lord Demon King, you will really be killed!"

"Since even you think this plan is evil, then it seems we can give this boss's suggestion a try! It's a pity we left in such a hurry."

The Demon King and the two Grand Marshals listened to Liu Yuan's advice. In modern society, there are not many negative emotions in life and work. After all, people work to earn money for a better life. Even if there is temporary pain and discomfort, the energy that bursts out at that moment cannot compare to the actual hatred caused by the fear of death or the harm done to relatives and friends.

Beneath this lies the hatred and resentment that arises when precious or valued things are destroyed, and even the deepest evil within the heart brought about by the contrast between beauty and desolation.

These people, including Takeo Shin'o, had never experienced anything like this since they came to this world. Firstly, the people they met were all reliable. Secondly, the places where these incidents occurred were not within Takeo Shin'o's area of ​​activity, since he was working at McDonald's. In addition, people in Japan are very good at maintaining appearances in society, at least they won't show anything in front of others.

When someone is doing something behind your back, even the real Owu could not sense it.

And so they began to discuss their evil plan.

Takeo Shinonome: "Heh! This way we can destroy their precious possessions! And generate terrifying negative emotions!"

Urushihara Hanzo: "This is truly an extremely evil plan. It's even more evil than killing them. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but this is destroying their spirit! Destroying their spirit!"

Ashiya Shiro: "For the future of the Demon World, I believe this must happen. Demon Lord! Please let me try! If I die, then you will save the Demon World."

Takeo Shin'o: "No! Since I was instructed, then I will do it! I am the strongest, and I am confident that I can escape."

Inside the rented room, the three men were loudly proclaiming their wicked and absurd plan. However, none of them noticed that their plan was being overheard by the new "girl" next door and the "hero" outside.

No! They only heard the gist of it, because the initial plan was so evil that the Demon King deliberately whispered it.

"Damn it! The Demon King has started his evil plan! I must stop them."

The hero Emilia, now known locally as Yusa Emi, has been monitoring the Demon King's actions, and unexpectedly, she overheard some important information today.

"I must stop you!"

She really wanted to just charge in, but it was obvious that doing so would be disadvantageous for her. This was the Demon King's Castle, and she had been repeatedly thwarted by its defenses.

That's right! This place, which Shin'o Takeo and the others called the Demon King's Castle, is actually just an ordinary rental house. And the so-called defense system is just the stairs in the rental house. Except for the first time when Yusa Emi properly walked down the stairs, she always fell down them.

Shin'o Takeo and his group set out. They were demons with principles, and even though it was an experimental operation, Shin'o Takeo set a rule for this mission.

First! Power must not be cut off in areas where people work!

Second! Do not damage the internet cafe's machines!

Third! You must never hurt anyone.

The world had given him a normal life, and even if it meant gaining power and access to the future development plans of the Demon Realm, he didn't want to affect anyone. Especially after working as a laborer, he knew the pain of being a wage earner. If someone was working and the power suddenly went out, their work wouldn't be saved, and while the negative emotions were one thing, the thought of losing their paycheck would cause him immense pain.

They took action: two scouted the location, while one stayed home. They successfully found an internet cafe in the city with a very high occupancy rate and a large flow of customers.

Meanwhile, the strategist Ashiya Shiro personally scouted the location and confirmed that everyone there was playing video games and no one was working. Then, the two of them began their wicked plan.

Why are there three people? Because there's a home.

They didn't come out from inside the squatting position. After all, it was just turning off the power switch; two people were enough.

The internet cafes in Japan are different from the ones Liu Yuan usually frequents. They are more luxurious than traditional internet cafes, and even have showers and comic book reading areas. However, because they are all private booths, each user needs to turn on the lights in their own booth.

But precisely because of this, many impoverished people, who can't even afford rent, consider living in internet cafes. After all, renting a normal apartment is already expensive; buying a computer for gaming would be an even bigger expense.

That's right, in the world of True Samurai, Japan, there's a national-level online game. It's a fantasy multiplayer cooperative game, somewhat similar to World of Warcraft, but with a much more beautiful art style, though it's also quite demanding on hardware. Because of this, almost everyone who lives in an internet cafe will try it out.

The customers of this internet cafe had no idea what they were about to face.

"Will the power go out if I pull this down?"

Takeo Shinonome was a little nervous. Looking at the harmonious and cozy scene inside the internet cafe, he couldn't believe that the people here would erupt in extreme anger and despair. Even here, he could hear excited shouts and words of comfort to teammates coming from some of the private rooms.

Although there were some negative emotions, these negative emotions quickly turned into positive energy, and the game continued.

Inside the private room, some girls were studying strategies together, while others were playing dungeons with their friends. Many of them didn't even have homes and had to spend the night in an internet cafe, playing games. Others were showering in the internet cafe, humming cheerful songs as they prepared to join tonight's raid.

It's already dark, but there's still a long time before bed. For those who live in internet cafes, watching videos and playing games are the happiest parts of the day.

However, just as they were enjoying themselves, Takeo Mao and Shiro Ashiya hardened their hearts and pulled the switch. They had specifically checked that the store's electronic equipment had power-off protection, so there was no need to worry about equipment damage from a sudden power outage.

Meanwhile, people in internet cafes are either playing games, watching videos, or taking showers, so there's no need to worry about it affecting their earnings.

However, a dozen seconds after the switch was pulled, Shin'o Wufu found that nothing had changed: "It seems... this won't work."

Ashiya Shiro exclaimed, "Demon King, you've been deceived!"

But at that moment, Takeo's eyes widened. What did he sense? Power! Limitless power. At the same time, he sensed the most vicious curses and insults from humanity, and the extreme negative emotions that erupted as if something beloved had been destroyed.

"Oh! Oh! Powerful strength! Powerful Power!!!"

However, while they were sensing the power, Yusa Emi was already preparing to defeat the Demon King. At this time, she didn't know what the two had done, but she knew they had definitely committed evil deeds.

Following the source of her power, she rushed into the internet cafe. Just as she entered the cafe to look for Kenjiro and the other man, she found her path blocked.

An office worker wearing glasses adjusted his glasses and said, "Ma'am, our store has been maliciously powered off. Please try again later. If you hear any strange noises inside, please don't panic; this is normal."

"what?"

Yusa Emi didn't understand what the other person was saying, but then she heard the Demon King and his Grand Marshal's panicked voices.

"What are you doing? I am the Demon King! I command you, ah!!!"

"Lord Demon King!!!"

Along with the screams of the two people, the sound of beatings came from inside. Judging from the sounds, the beating involved a stool, a brick, a wrench, and even the sound of a chainsaw.

In an internet cafe, almost everyone was playing games while also running dungeons. Some even experienced power outages during crucial parts of a dungeon run, or even during the final loot distribution. This immediately amplified the negative emotions of the gamers.

Liu Yuan's advice was indeed very effective. Sure enough, a demon king and a grand marshal experienced the extreme negative emotions of humanity in just a small internet cafe.

While these two gained power, this world was also far from simple. They could travel through time, and so could people living in other worlds within this world. Many bored people traveled to this world, because even the most ordinary life in modern society was more exciting than the so-called aristocratic life in their original world.

Normally, the joking around doesn't affect their lives, and these people are too lazy to cause any trouble. At most, they just drink cola and watch these newcomers have fun. But when someone cuts off their power and prevents them from going online, they will show those who are courting death what cruelty is.

Killing someone? Absolutely not. As a Demon Lord, Shin'ou has incredibly strong vitality. Besides, this is a society governed by law; even an enraged ordinary person here wouldn't kill someone.

However, they can still make these two people who have nothing better to do to play pranks understand that they shouldn't play pranks casually.

An hour later, the bruised and battered Demon King and his Grand Marshal emerged, supporting each other.

"The boss didn't lie to me, it's just..."

"Demon King, please stop talking, hiss..."

As the two women helped each other out, they saw Yusa Emi standing at the door, gazing thoughtfully in their direction. Upon seeing a familiar face, the two devils nearly burst into tears.

"Hero! Save us!!"

On this day, Yusa Emi's worldview was once again shaken.

Chapter 580 Yuri's Demon King Student

The Demon King pleading for the Hero's help was something even the Hero himself had never witnessed before. Yusa Emi had so much to say, but at this moment she swallowed it all; after all, these two were truly in a terrible situation.

Their bodies were covered in bruises, and it was only because murder is illegal in modern society that she suspected they might have been killed.

"Wait? They were just killed like that? What was the point of me, the hero, coming along?"

As she pondered this, she noticed the two people in front of her who were bleeding and had already fainted. Although as a hero she was to defeat the Demon King, the thought of what Takeo Shinou had done in this world prevented her from making the difficult decision.

"Hello? Is this 120? Yes, someone has fallen and is unconscious."

After she finished making the call for help, she suddenly shuddered and instinctively looked over. There she saw the young man with glasses who had been in the internet cafe earlier smiling at her.

Inside the internet cafe, as the power was restored, the customers quickly opened their games. Some, looking at their failed raids, wanted nothing more than to rush out and beat the two attackers up again. Others, seeing the top-tier weapons appear in their inventory, danced with excitement.

However, this had nothing to do with the Demon King and his Grand Marshal. The two had already been taken to the emergency room by ambulance. It was discovered that they had been stabbed more than fifty times but only suffered superficial wounds. They were then given some IV fluids and put on hospital beds.

It's just a superficial wound, not even a major hemorrhage. They can just give them an IV drip and send them back once they wake up.

About half a day later, Takeo Shinonome woke up in shock: "This is terrifying! It's absolutely terrifying. I never imagined that something like this could unleash such a terrifying negative force."

"Huh? What did you do?"

When Takeo Masao heard Emi Yusa's voice, his whole body trembled: "No, nothing! We just suddenly had the idea to do some experiments! Um! Just experiments."

He would never say that he almost got killed for cutting off someone's power in order to gain strength, but at this moment, he is more grateful to this harmonious society, because the harmonious society saved him.

"Waaaaah!"

Takeo Shinonome cried tears of joy. Looking at the pathetic Demon King, Yusa Emi wondered how he had managed to become the Demon King. "Here's a joke," she thought, "the Demon King goes to get off work on time every day, and even when he's broke, he doesn't steal money; he just endures it himself."

But it didn't matter anymore. Seeing that the other person was alright now, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Wait? Why should I be relieved for you? No way! I'm still going to kill you!!!"

The love-hate relationship between the hero and the demon king isn't over yet, but as working people, they're both getting ready to go home and rest, since they both have to work tomorrow. In this day and age, you can't survive without working!

The next day, when Takeo Shinonome received another notice about the internet cafe's reopening, he went straight there.

At this moment, Liu Yuan was sitting at the front desk eating fries. When he saw this new customer arrive, Liu Yuan generously invited, "Would you like some fries?"

"Do not…"

Before he could even finish speaking, Liu Yuan tempted him, "Try this. It'll be good for your job. Who knows, having this might make you a McDonald's or KFC store manager, or even a regional manager."

"Really?"

"I never lie to my customers."
