I'm just an internet cafe owner

So Takeo leaned over, picked up a fry, and took a bite. After tasting it, he excitedly exclaimed, "This perfect texture and golden ratio are absolutely delicious! How is this made?"

Liu Yuan pointed to the computers in the internet cafe: "You can learn by using the internet at our shop. There are quite a few chefs teaching how to cook. There are also many ways to improve fast food. Even with mass production by machines, you can still make something that tastes great."

"Oh my god! That's great, thank you boss, I'll go online now."

However, he had only taken one step when he suddenly remembered that this wasn't his real purpose. He looked at Liu Yuan, and after yesterday's experience, he believed Liu Yuan's words. With just a simple operation, he could restore a large amount of his strength, even though that strength had been used to repair his body, and he and his companions had been badly beaten. But this experience made him realize that Liu Yuan was capable and had a way.

Seeing the Demon King before him earnestly seeking his advice, Liu Yuan calmly inquired, "I know the situation in your homeland. It requires the power to transform negative emotions to maintain the prosperity of the land that gave you birth and nurtured you. Relatively peaceful times would lead to an insufficient amount of negative emotions, ultimately causing your homeland to wither away, right?"

"Boss, you've got a brilliant idea!"

Liu Yuan sighed and said, "Actually, your idea is not wrong, but it is also wrong. If the peace is only enough to barely fill your stomach, there will not be too many negative emotions. But if the peace is full, the negative emotions are no less than those of domination and rule."

"what?"

Seeing that the demon king in front of him was so hopeless, Mu Geng, who was eating sunflower seeds, spoke up for Liu Yuan: "Simply put, when people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lust. When they are full, they will try to satisfy their empty spirit. If you want negative emotions, simply dominating them will only bring resistance. But if you let them eat their fill, they will have these thoughts on their own."

"The harsher the living conditions, the stronger the will to live. To survive, one will do anything; for freedom, one can generate tremendous positive energy. But when survival is enough, when one is free enough, and even when one has no worries about food and drink and can eat or drink whatever one wants..."

People will seek emotional support; you can build a perfect emotional support, and then destroy it.

On the other side, Ai Mizuno, after hearing this case, gave an even harsher one: "Take me, an idol, as an example. Many people see idols as their spiritual support, and my growth and changes bring them spiritual satisfaction. If I were to die, they would feel regret, but if I did something that went against their spiritual support, they would first be incredulous, but when it's all true, their spiritual world would instantly collapse. At that moment, my fans would unleash a powerful wave of negative emotions, and some might even become completely corrupted."

Shin-Okwu understood. As a demon lord, he possessed exceptionally high intelligence and emotional intelligence. At this moment, he understood what he should do and how to do it. However, another problem arose: even if he wanted to do it, the conditions of the material world did not allow it; there was simply no way to do so.

Seeing his confusion, Liu Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Now that you're here, what's there to worry about? Come to the internet cafe, kid! The internet cafe has everything you want, you can even open an internet cafe in your world and make idols. As the Demon King, you must be very rich, right?"

Upon hearing about money, Kenjiro shook his head: "I spend almost all the money I earn each month."

"No no no!"

Liu Yuan smiled and reminded him, "This doesn't refer to your money on Earth, but rather the property belonging to you, Demon King Satan. You can use all of your property at this store! Anything that belongs to you but that you can't currently obtain can be used here. Furthermore, you can purchase your desired items from our player shop."

Listening to Liu Yuan's suggestions and the ideas offered by everyone, Zhen Aowu had already formed a preliminary thought. If it had been a day ago, he wouldn't have been so skeptical of this idea. Could someone really be so bored as to generate negative emotions?

But after yesterday's experiment and today's deliberate observation of the internet cafe, he chose to believe it. After all, he didn't want to fight if he could avoid it.

Liu Yuan: "If you have any questions about human nature, there is a game in our store that is perfect for you. You can enter the game and have a good chat with this political commissar. I believe he can help you resolve your questions."

"Ok!"

Shin Owufu turned on his computer and went online.

After he sat down, Ai Mizuno came over and recommended a game to him: Mental Omega Epsilon Route. This game was arguably the second most played game in the internet cafe. Although there was a real Yuri at the fourth branch, Yuri was very busy every day, and no one wanted to bother him constantly. Therefore, the Yuri from the game was the best choice.

After some guidance, Shin-Owner entered the Mental Omega Epsilon route and selected the first chapter of the story. A bald man appeared in his field of vision.

"Oh! My dear heretic demon king, do you have any questions for me before the mission begins?"

Chapter 581 The Demon King Who Has Accomplished His Studies

At this moment, Takeo Shin'ou experienced a spiritual transformation, becoming the Demon King and unifying the demon world through his immense power and personal charisma. He also gained a deeper understanding of humanity through his wisdom and emotional intelligence.

But after encountering the human nature that comes with being well-fed and bored, he fell silent. Yes, in his view, Liu Yuan's description was absolutely accurate. Many things really wouldn't happen if one were starving; only those who are overfed and bored would do such things.

Through Yuri, he also sensed the horror of these things. Even when manipulating the mind expert to travel around, the negative emotions from the deepest part of his being gave him immense power within the game.

"As expected of the boss!!!"

At this moment, his admiration for Liu Yuan was like a surging river, endless and unending. He even planned to go back to his hometown and make a good fortune there.

"There's so much to prepare..."

With Yuri's guidance, he immediately knew what he had to do. His identity as the Demon King didn't need to be hidden, and the existence of demons could be preserved. However, he couldn't continue his violent rule; he needed to awaken the people's wisdom.

The world he lived in and grew up in possessed immense power, and he needed to prevent these powerful forces from interfering with the choices of ordinary people. This required enough strong individuals to step forward, and then… a revolution.

Yes, the only strategy he learned from Commissar Yuri was revolution.

Whose revolution is it? The revolution of the Church, the Knights, and the nobles of various countries.

Why did they revolt? Because the common people were starving, and the powerful were fighting amongst themselves for their own interests. The real Owuf had already arrived on Earth, and the demons, leaderless, retreated to their demon realm. The surrounding countries should have enjoyed peace, but clearly they didn't want peace; they wanted power and wealth.

Therefore, Yuri's first suggestion was revolution.

First, he incites those who cannot afford to eat to rise up in rebellion, then uses modern knowledge to change productivity and relations of production, ultimately unifying the entire continent. Throughout this process, the Demon King secretly provides assistance to the common people and blocks the so-called high-level combat forces.

Let the people take power themselves, and based on the experiences of modern countries, form a new political system and enter the modern or contemporary society.

When technology advances to the point where everyone can have enough to eat and drink, the focus shifts to developing culture, using it to compensate for one's spiritual needs. Finally, culture is used to inflict a degree of spiritual damage on people. This includes, but is not limited to, unpredictable power outages, internet disconnections, and circuit breaker trips, or creating a nationally popular game where the internet connection drops when players obtain rare equipment or when upgrading weapons.

broken.

In the internet cafe, he had already foreseen the power boost that would result from the shattering of his weapon. In reality, he witnessed the horrors of being without internet access.

The demon realm will not completely decline for another five hundred years. If things develop in this way, it could be achieved in as little as two or three generations, or as little as two or three hundred years.

"Elsil, I have obtained a plan that will allow our demon realm to continue indefinitely. I need your help."

"Demon King, please use me!"

"I have two main plans, one short-term and one long-term. I'll tell you about the long-term one first, and then I'll talk about the short-term one."

As Takeo Shinonome explained his plan, Elsil was deeply shocked to hear it from her Demon Lord. Meanwhile, Lucifer, who was browsing the internet on his computer, widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing Takeo Shinonome's idea.

"Such an evil plan, this, this..."

Lucifer had to admit that the real Owf's plan was too evil; in the long run, it would completely destroy human regimes and force human society to transition to a political system similar to Earth's.

In the short term, it could directly incite conflict between the people and the privileged class, quickly leading them to launch an armed uprising.

However, this is not enough. Influenced by the church, many people have great trust in it and believe in God. It is not enough to simply give them knowledge and beauty through dreams; they also need to be given faith.

"What about faith...?"

During the operation, Shin'ou fell into deep thought. He didn't know how to change these people's beliefs and make them believe in him. Obviously, it was impossible. He was evil, and those guys in the heavens were holy. Unless he could find something more holy than them, there was no way to gain their faith.

"This is difficult..."

When Kenjiro was preparing to carry out the plan, he discovered this problem. Everything else seemed fine, except for the issue of faith, which remained unresolved. Because all it took was the church saying, "You are suffering now so that you may enjoy happiness after death."

Then more people will reject what they've prepared, and might even become outright heretics. Unless…

"We need the help of the gods."

When Shin'ou uttered those words, Elsil was dumbfounded: "Demon Lord, the gods cannot help us, and besides..."

"Yes, you can."

Takeo Shinonome took a deep breath: "We can become gods ourselves."

"Ourselves?"

Elsil was shocked by these words. Had her Demon Lord gone mad? How could a Demon Lord become a god?

Takeo Shin'o nodded and said, "Yes, do you know what kind of god is most likely to gain faith?"

Elsil: "Powerful?"

Lucifer: "One who can fulfill personal desires."

Shin-Owu nodded: "Yes, Lucifer is right. Only gods who can help people fulfill their wishes can gain faith. What if we could help people fulfill their wishes? To heal the seriously ill, to feed the hungry, to let the humiliated fight back, and to free the people from oppression."

Elsil: "Then, Demon Lord, you will become a god! Rejoice! As expected of the Demon Lord!"

True Wu: "This is what Commissar Yuri taught me: tangible benefits and a foreseeable future are far more real than vague beliefs."

However, Owuo didn't intend to do these things himself, or even have his Grand Marshals do them. After all, with the Hero and his new neighbor in this world, his actions would be under surveillance. As long as he maintained his current life, he could attract their attention.

As for how to spread his ideas and concepts, he naturally has his ways.

He could also buy computers at internet cafes. As the Demon King of the Demon Realm, he was willing to utilize external forces, but in his original world, he couldn't. However, now… looking at the player store on TT, he had already devised a plan he could execute. He didn't need to do it secretly at all.

According to the Earth vocabulary he had learned: "This move is called the Extinction Strategy."

He wants to eliminate these regimes at their root and let ordinary people live for themselves. Although there will still be oppression in the future, when the people have a certain degree of self-governance and can live without worrying about food and drink, they will be able to unleash stronger emotions.

When peace arrives, we'll develop technology like in Yuri's world, preventing them from buying computers and instead setting up free internet cafes. We'll also make them use mobile networks for work, making them dependent on all electronic devices.

When the demon realm runs out of magic, just cause a worldwide power and signal outage. It won't take long; once a month or even every few months will be enough to bring the demon realm back to life.

Let's work together!

Elsil: "Then, Demon Lord, how did you allow these people to access your things?"

Shin'o Takeo: "I naturally have a way. By the way, could you lend me some of your assets in the Demon Realm? I have a very important use for them. I want to open an internet cafe! I feel that opening an internet cafe will not only realize our idea, but also allow us to make some money and gain some power along the way. Without enough power, we can't go back!"

Chapter 582 The Demon King Who Built Internet Cafes (Bonus Chapter)

On TT, the machine-type machine fell into deep thought after receiving a purchase request from Shin-Ou Wu-fu.

Shin'o Takeo hopes to buy something similar to the computers used in internet cafes, so that people can immerse themselves in the game world and experience the joy of the game in the most realistic way.

But this request stunned the Machine Race, because they knew that the machines they had created...

No matter how realistic a game is, it's still just a game. Even if you can create virtual reality glasses similar to those in internet cafes, you still can't experience the game in a completely realistic way.

Shubi, who was in charge of communication, replied: "I'm sorry, we can't create a game world with the same level of realism as internet cafe games, but we can create a game with a certain degree of realism that allows players to have a complete experience."

True Okumio: "Is it fun? Is it addictive? Does it make you angry when the power goes out?"

Faced with this guest's unique question, Hughie fell into deep thought. Would it make someone angry? She didn't know. However, after thinking for a while, she gave her own answer: "Whether it will meet your needs depends on whether the game is fun. If it's fun, it can."

True Okumuro: "Can I make my own games?"

Hugh: "This need can be met. I will integrate the knowledge I learned in the internet cafe and the games I played, and then input them into the system. The system can then create games according to your needs, even whatever kind of game you want to create."

True Owu: "How much is one?"

Hugh: "One million."

Shin-chan took a deep breath when he saw the added amount. One million yen wasn't the common currency of Ante Isula, nor was it the Japanese yen he earned from his part-time job. It was the internet cafe's currency; all his savings combined could only buy fifty machines.

"Um...can I buy twenty units to try it out first? Also, is it possible to make it like an internet cafe, where people within a specified range on my planet can randomly appear in the internet cafe?"

Hugh: "Of course! Feel free to try. We have some research on teleportation portals, which can allow you to open a business anywhere! But if you're going to go that far, I have a suggestion: ask the boss for help."

Was Shubi stealing business? Not at all, because anyone who has ever been to a 4D space internet cafe wouldn't be attracted to the machines made by the Machine-type.

Because relying on machines can only create games that feel realistic, rather than creating a real game world.

The machines created by the Kaiju can only satisfy the player's own desires; even if they want to enjoy some eroge (adult content), they can't fundamentally change the course of the world like different actions in an internet cafe. This is technology beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

That's why no one bought these machines after they were developed. The games in internet cafes are just too exciting; the realistic feedback is far more engaging than the feeling of a game in real life.

As for teleportation portals? The principle behind them is too simple. You can't create one across worlds, but you can get one within the same planet or a random portal. However, different worlds require different portals, and Shubi can't guarantee they'll work. For something like this, asking Liu Yuan for help is the most suitable option. After all, he's an internet cafe owner, and if his customers want to open an internet cafe in his own world, consulting Liu Yuan is naturally the best choice.

So, Takeo Shin's side contacted Liu Yuan, who agreed after seeing the message: "No problem, it's 200 yuan per teleportation. Tell me the range, and I'll grant you teleportation access for your shop in your world."
