I'm just an internet cafe owner

Garou is very strong, so strong that he wants to spar with him.

Sensing Saitama's gaze, Garou held up the discounted meat slices in his hand: "Want some? It's on me."

Saitama: "Really?"

Hungry Wolf: "Really, let's just say we became acquainted through this robbery."

In Garou's perception, Saitama was very strong, possessing an almost invincible power. But how to put it? Garou wasn't particularly interested in an invincible Saitama; he found this ordinary, peaceful life quite pleasant.

Every now and then, I'd go and whack some weirdos; life was endlessly enjoyable. As for money? With the technology of various worlds in the internet cafe, there's no money I can't get, not even food. This is purely about experiencing life.

He just didn't expect that there was someone in his own world...

Even the stronger ones are experiencing life.

Upon hearing Garou's words, Saitama's eyes gleamed: "You're a good person."

"No, I'm just an ordinary martial artist."

Saitama: "So, are you very strong?"

Hungry Wolf: "As for me? I should be in the middle, right?"

Having witnessed the peak of Garou's power, I feel like my own ranking in the internet cafe is still pretty weak. Any one of those god's familiars could easily defeat him. And those mythological worlds, those high-magic worlds, they're all ridiculously strong.

In the past, he might have considered becoming stronger, stronger, and even stronger. But now? All he wanted was a peaceful life.

This is a change in mindset. Spending too much time in internet cafes makes skill seem pretty boring. When Mugen gets tired of playing, he plays other games with the others.

Take Rainbow Six Siege, for example; he really loves it. He, Baki, and Goku are often seen sharing a dragon scale plate, a WiFi device, and a giant head. And then? Then comes the impenetrable nursery, where I live and die with my mansion.

See that gap peeking out from under the dragon scales? Garou, Baki, and even Goku all peered through that gap. And then? Then they got shot in the head. That big head was practically invisible; you could see it clearly even without Gaizi.

Thinking about all this, Hungry Wolf sighed, "But most of the time, I'm the weakest one. What? Are you interested in challenging the strong?"

Upon hearing this, Saitama's interest was piqued. There was actually someone stronger than him? He definitely had to give it a try!

At that moment, the eyes of the others gleamed with excitement.

Baki calmly replied, "If you're interested, I'll take you tomorrow. Tonight, it's my treat."

Saitama: "You're a good person."

Hungry Wolf: "Your standards for being a nice person are really low."

Saitama shook his head: "No, you are a good person."

Hungry Wolf: "Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes!"

Good guys and bad guys? Ever since watching Sun Wukong's live stream of the three religions in one forum a few days ago, Hungry Wolf has lost all interest in this stuff.

That's right, the Monkey King Sun Wukong has now joined the live streaming platforms in internet cafes. He's too embarrassed to say anything in his own world, in case he attracts a large number of followers, which would be troublesome.

However, you don't need to have this concern in an internet cafe. Just talk about it. If it's useful, believe it; if it's not, don't believe it.

Well, how should I put it? Sun Wukong gained quite a few fans in internet cafes by telling these stories. But the fighting and killing involved aren't really of interest to many people in peaceful worlds.

Chapter 621 Saitama: "Rainbow Six Siege is so much fun!"

The internet cafe opened the next day, and Garou brought Saitama inside. This was the first time he had brought someone from his own world into an internet cafe, and how to put it... it was a strange feeling.

Saitama looked around curiously, then asked, "Is this the place you described, a place full of strong people?"

Hungry Wolf nodded: "Whether you want to be truly tortured or have some fun in the game, that's fine. But I suggest you choose the fun mode. In the real mode, you're a bit invincible, so you won't experience any fun."

These words struck a chord with Saitama: "Yes! As I grow stronger, I feel my emotions disappearing."

Saitama isn't good at hiding things; he usually says whatever comes to mind. At the same time, he sees Garou as a strong fighter, and since he's strong, he must have similar issues.

Hearing Saitama's words, Garou nodded and said, "Your situation is not uncommon. That's why this place is suitable for you, because you won't become a strong person here."

He had a chat with Saitama while eating hot pot yesterday, and how should I put it? He felt that Saitama was a very amazing person. Could he really become so strong just by doing basic training? So strong that even he felt invincible when facing him.

But as his perspective broadened, his feelings about such things became quite indifferent. This was according to the observations of the customers in the internet cafe.

"With so many worlds, it's normal for a few freaks to reach the upper limit of that world."

Saitama: "Really?"

Hungry Wolf: "I never lie, and I always tell the whole story!"

What Cupid did was so well-known that many people like to add a phrase like "not hiding" when explaining it.

After all, a hidden truth is far more terrifying than a lie.

Saitama was about to go online, but looking at the exorbitant prices, he fell into deep thought: "Are you kidding me? One hour of internet access is enough for me to eat for several days!"

Thirty yuan an hour at an internet cafe is an astronomical price for Saitama in his world. He probably doesn't spend much money on food and drink in his own world, but now he has to spend it on an hour of consumption.

Hungry Wolf calmly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay for your internet."

For Garou, who frequented internet cafes and had no stable income, he made a lot of money using Izumi Konata's trading strategies, and it was perfect to use that money to go online and spend it.

If you ask him why he's so rich yet still buys discounted food, the answer is that he enjoys life and finds pleasure in it.

With Garou treating him to a meal, Saitama happily took his seat.

Not long after they sat down, Goku and Baki arrived. Looking at the new bald guy, Baki excitedly shook his arm: "Wow! Is this the new guy you brought? He seems invincible!"

Saitama introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Saitama."

"Blade~"

At this moment, the hungry wolf interrupted their self-introductions: "My new recruit is too strong in my world, so he wants to find some fun. Come on!"

A smile appeared on Baki's face as he activated Rainbow Six Siege.

That's right, a group of fighters who don't play LoL or any other fighting games have taken to shooting games. Especially games like Rainbow Six Siege, which are slightly more difficult and require a bit of teamwork, are their favorite.

Why is it my favorite? Because... this game is truly fun.

The perfect matchmaking system in the internet cafe ensures that teammates are of similar skill level, and there will never be any low-quality matches where players are "smurfs" (players who intentionally lose to lower-level opponents).

This is why the stronger the room, the less happiness there is, while the weaker the room, the more happiness there is.

Are Hungry Wolf and his gang strong? Without guns, they're incredibly strong. But with guns, even a child shooting with a water gun is more accurate than them.

Saitama was unfamiliar with the game, but under Garou's guidance, he still entered it.

Join a team, enter the game, and start matchmaking. There are already many customers in the internet cafe, and Rainbow Six Siege also has a loyal player base, so matchmaking isn't difficult.

To avoid being recognized, Garou chose to hide his player name and team information before entering the game.

Upon entering the game, their map is a coffee shop. The map is a hostage situation, and they are on the defense. The hostages are located on the third floor of the coffee shop.

At this moment, the three people who had been looking serious broke into happy smiles.

"How do you play this?"

Saitama was still figuring out how to play the game, while Garou personally instructed him: "That's right! You choose this one. It's a dragon scale plate. After everyone leaves at the start, use your plate to seal these three doors, and leave the rest to us."

This time it wasn't a nursery, but a freezer. But it didn't matter; as an opponent of the same caliber, Garou had reason to believe that his opponent could fight him to a standstill.

That's exactly what happened. Saitama, Garou, and Goku stayed in the room, while Baki and a random passerby went out to raid. Baki's objective was simple: "See that big hammer? Take it down." (The text then repeats "thump thump thump," followed by "leave it behind," and then "leave the rest without explosives.")

This time, the opposing team was ruthless. When they realized it was a hostage situation and they were the attacking side, they didn't pick more explosives but instead picked a bunch of utility items. As a result, when their hammer was killed and the others took down the jungler, they could only feel deep despair looking at the Dragonscale Plate.

It took twenty-five strikes to clear a single dragon scale plate, so the people outside had no choice but to keep trying. Inside, Saitama was hiding behind the hostages, listening to the cursing and swearing outside.

"It seems... quite interesting..."

Saitama smiled. In his original world, he was a hero who played for fun. Although he wasn't a proper hero, he didn't want to do anything that would upset others.

But games are different. In games, even if you do something that makes someone sad, it doesn't affect them. Because of this, he realized what it means for a smile to not disappear but to shift.

Watching the other party knock on the door repeatedly, and then using the hostage as a shield to frantically trim their feet as they approached the last door.

It was a spectacular clash of titans, a scramble for position inside and outside the door, shooting at each other close to the ground. Neither side killed nor seriously injured the other. But then the most exciting part came: when the attackers finally broke through the dragon scales, they stormed in.

Outside, someone instinctively fired a machine gun.

And then? One shot blew the hostage's head off, knocking him down. The second shot missed and hit the hostage's foot, killing him instantly.

Saitama, who survived to the end, smiled even more broadly as he watched the other party's impotent rage.

What? Winning or losing? That's the least important thing in the game. The most fun thing is when noobs fight each other.

Chapter 622 Saitama & Garou: "Excuse me!"

Are you happy? Saitama felt extremely happy because he discovered he was no longer invincible. At the same time, the realism of the games in the internet cafe exceeded his expectations. Playing FPS games, battling various demons and monsters in Fantasy Westward Journey, and occasionally engaging in passionate brawls in Mugen—wasn't that awesome?

Most importantly, he wasn't invincible in these games; he was practically a weakling! This amused Saitama. What started as just fun gradually turned into enjoyment.

"Damn it, someone's coming from behind the door! Right behind us!"

"Ah! I'm dead. You're too bad, you're too bad!"

"What? Keep going! We have to win at least once today."

Playing games in an internet cafe can be fun because you can have a few like-minded friends. No matter how you lose, the game is still enjoyable. The only downside is that they are a stable four-wheel drive. For example, when playing LoL, the four of them and the five opponents have a great gaming experience, but their own teammates have a terrible gaming experience.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's just a game. The fun doesn't disappear, it just shifts. Besides, those four weren't intentionally sabotaging anyone; they're just genuinely bad at many games.

But if it's pure fighting games, there aren't many in the internet cafe who can really match those four in terms of fighting skills.

While Saitama was enjoying himself, Baki brought over a huge pile of iced cola: "Here! Drink some cola."

Little Wukong also carried a huge pile of snacks: "Let's eat snacks!"

At that moment, Saitama felt like he was home. Everyone was so welcoming, and the food was delicious.

The game was fun; he hadn't experienced this kind of joy in a long time since he became invincible in the world.

Of course, besides having fun, he also learned combat skills from the Hungry Wolf and his crew.

After learning, he realized how much power he was wasting by simply throwing punches. He could have defeated his enemy in a simpler and more efficient way, but he wasted a few seconds because of wasting his energy.

That won't do. Time is life. A few seconds in Rainbow Six Siege is enough to kill you several times over.

Time is life. I haven't fully grasped this principle in real life, but the game taught Saitama how to be happy.

Happy times are always fleeting; in the blink of an eye, a notification appeared on the computer that I was about to log off.

After following Garou's instructions on how to preserve the progress, Saitama looked at Garou and said, "Eh? That's really interesting! When can we come again next time?"

Hungry Wolf: "It will be fine tomorrow. Also, the time scale here is different from our world. Twelve hours here are equal to twelve minutes in our world. But be careful, if you encounter any monsters after opening, it's best to deal with them quickly. Otherwise, if you're too slow, the store might be closed by the time you arrive."

Upon hearing this, Saitama shook his head: "No, I can't miss it. This place is even more interesting."
