I'm just an internet cafe owner

If he lacked sexuality, he could make up for it with time. With such an absurdly long time ratio, Xu Xian was actually able to master a lot of knowledge to an average level.

However, this only applies to Xu Xian's professional skills. In terms of overall abilities, Xu Xian is still capable of teaching Fahai. As for running away? They're already on the Minecraft wooden boat; you, Fahai, think you can escape?

He either had to wear out the wooden boat or memorize all the rules of Heaven, Earth, and Man; otherwise, Xu Xian would never have let such a scourge out.

In Xu Xian's view, a monk with a bit of obsession is not scary. What is scary is that the monk himself does not know what is right and wrong. He only thinks about subduing his wife. How can that be allowed?

At the same time, Xu Xian could tell at a glance that Fahai had only studied Buddhism since childhood and had not experienced anything else. He was like a frog in a well, taking everything he saw as real.

As for the Buddha bestowing power? According to what Sun Wukong inquired about on the spot, if some monks were too obsessed and kept muttering to themselves, the Buddha would take a second look at them.

But power was never bestowed; they were merely given a glance by the Buddha, which led to an epiphany in Buddhist teachings, thus granting them more profound magical abilities. After all, although the Buddha wished to spread Buddhism, he was bound by the constraints of heaven and earth and could not arbitrarily interfere in matters within the Three Realms.

Xu Xian was explaining, but Fahai was still somewhat unconvinced. However, Xu Xian had quite a few examples to convince the unconvinced monk.

"Fahai, don't be unconvinced. Even Buddha could make a monkey urinate on his hand, yet you can't even let my wife experience human love, hate, and grudges in human form. In the end, your cultivation is still insufficient. Come on! Stop closing your eyes to rest. I asked the Great Sage. He said that your so-called attention is really just people being annoyed by you. Don't take yourself too seriously!"

"Well, it's okay if you don't listen. If you don't listen to me today, I'll talk to you tomorrow. If you don't listen to me tomorrow, I'll talk to you the day after. Eventually, you'll listen. Once you've listened and remembered, no matter how you understand or view this world, I, Xu Xian, will let you leave."

"Come on, let's learn something simple first: human law. Before we start, we need to understand one principle. Legal interests serve as the basis for criminal liability, while ethics serve as the basis for exoneration."

"Monk, don't faint. Look, once you understand these rules of the Three Realms, if you still want to subdue my wife, then we'll fight again. Now, learn them properly. Trust me, learning these will help you subdue demons and monsters. Hey? Don't faint! This is just basic human law, not even a page long. Why are you fainting?"

Inside the room, Xiao Qing, who had come in to join the fun, gasped at the sight. However, his gasp caused the room temperature to drop by one degree.

Chapter 631 Daily Life in an Internet Cafe

For a whole month, Fahai stayed in Xu Xian's room listening to Xu Xian's lectures. At first, Xu Xian lectured, but later he simply hired others to give lectures. If one person wasn't enough, he hired a whole team.

Although Xu Xian doesn't have as much money as those big shots in internet cafes, thanks to Sun Wukong's peach, it won't cost much to hire someone to teach him some basic knowledge.

Sure enough, after studying for a month, Fahai graduated from his apprenticeship.

At Xu Xian's doorstep, Fahai thanked Xu Xian, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Benefactor Xu. This humble monk now understands where I went wrong."

At that moment, Fahai looked up at the western sky. The sun was high in the sky, and feeling its warmth, Fahai experienced for the first time the greatness of knowledge. As for how much knowledge he had acquired in three months?

Not many, just nine hundred thousand books. Yang Jian specially came to this world and used a special illusion technique to make Fahai study at a rate of three thousand books a day.

With the help and guidance of people from all over the world, Fahai can now be described as having achieved complete enlightenment.

Fahai left, and watching Fahai's resolute figure, Xu Xian felt full of motivation for the future.

"That's good, there's one less person causing trouble for my wife now!"

Xu Xian did all this not to help Fahai, but simply because he wanted to reduce the number of people causing trouble for his wife. You might suggest killing Fahai? That wouldn't be appropriate; Fahai was, after all, a Buddhist, and although his actions were extreme, Xu Xian believed his crimes didn't warrant death.

He was only doing what he could to help someone who had a grudge against his wife resolve that grudge.

Watching Fahai's retreating figure, Xu Xian prepared to go home to be with his wife. However, just as he was about to leave, he received a notice that the internet cafe was opening.

"Huh? Is it open yet? Honey! I'm going online for a bit, I'll be back in ten minutes~"

At home, Bai Suzhen, upon hearing Xu Xian's voice, reminded him to be careful before Xu Xian went into the internet cafe.

As soon as they entered the internet cafe, Sun Wukong asked Xu Xian curiously, "Xu Xian, how's your family matter going?"

Xu Xian: "It's all taken care of. That monk Fahai has already attained enlightenment and won't disturb my wife and me anymore."

Nezha, who was already filming nearby, muttered in dissatisfaction, "If you ask me, we should give him a good beating and let him know what it means to be powerful."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Our little brother Xu Xian doesn't want to cause too much trouble, after all, I, Old Sun, am also in his world."

Nezha's eyes lit up: "That's true, but Xu Xian, if you were to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, I wonder if my Great Sage and I from your world would lend a hand."

Sun Wukong: "I don't know then~ We'll only know when things really get out of hand."

Yang Jian laughed loudly, "If it's a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, how can you not include me?"

Sun Wukong: "Together! Together! When someone comes to this shop and wants to cause trouble in Heaven, let's go and help them out."

Well, the kind of thing that happens in Heaven is something you get used to after a few tries. You learn where you can and can't do things, and it's also quite amusing to embarrass the Jade Emperor.

If the Jade Emperor were a righteous god with great wisdom, he would gladly welcome someone causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace. If it were someone from Yang Jian's world who was somewhat mentally unstable, then such chaos would be even more welcome, to force them to become more reasonable. It would all be a good thing, a good thing indeed.

While they were chatting idly, Sun Wukong felt his mouth was getting a little empty, so he called out, "Internet cafe manager~ two peaches, please~"

Hearing Sun Wukong's call, Yakumo Ran, who was reading a book at the front desk, took out two plump peaches and handed them over: "Great Sage, please!"

Taking the two delicious peaches, each about the size of his head, Sun Wukong said somewhat embarrassedly, "You little fox, why are you being so polite with me? I feel rather uncomfortable every time you call me Great Sage."

Back in his own world, Sun Wukong didn't feel anything when people called him "Great Sage." But in an internet cafe, he felt like he was being publicly executed. Especially after meeting all sorts of people in the game, he felt very uncomfortable every time he was called "Great Sage."

On the contrary, when playing various games, he quite likes being called "Monkey King" or "Monkey Head." After all, there are quite a few talented people in this internet cafe, and their nicknames... are hard to describe.

It's like a spider; in its own world, it's become a god, with its own name and taboos about how to address it. But in internet cafes, people are still calling it "Spider" every day.

Then there's Suzuki Satoru, who's already the ruler of her own planet. She's even started accelerating her technology to break down the barriers between worlds and invite her other companions to come and play in the new world. But when she goes to the internet cafe, everyone still likes to call her Skeleton.

After all, he was the only one in the entire internet cafe who looked like a skeleton.

There's also the giant dragon nicknamed "Mountain," and Rick nicknamed "Henpecked." The funniest of all is Accelerator, with his mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex and the crippled duo's nicknames.

As for how this title came about... it was during a dark and stormy day when Accelerator sprained his ankle again, and Kinji Toyama joked that he should just be called "Crippled Bro" instead of Accelerator, and that's how the title "Crippled Bro" came about.

That's why, after staying there for a while, Sun Wukong felt that the title "Great Sage" was too formal.

Yakumo Ran: "No, I'm not just being polite. I really admire you after reading about your deeds. Great Sage, please enjoy your meal. I'm going back to read my book."

Well, ever since Yakumo Ran finished watching Journey to the West, she's felt that Sun Wukong is her ideal man. Not only her, but Liu Yuan has also taken many photos with Sun Wukong, even secretly snapping some pictures. No boy can resist the allure of the Monkey King; if there is one… maybe he really hasn't watched Journey to the West.

At the front desk, Yakumo Ran sat down obediently after finishing her work. Meanwhile, Kisara looked at Liu Yuan and complained, "This branch seems to have very few people. It's been so long, and there are still only a few people here."

Liu Yuan explained unhurriedly, "Because this store is in a rather special location. There are several worlds that have just started developing and are following a primitive path. For the people in these worlds, a year is too short. It may take a little longer for them to come to our internet cafe."

Although this branch had the slowest new hires, it was actually the one Liu Yuan had the highest hopes for. This was because it was surrounded by large worlds, and these worlds were often measured in millennia or tens of thousands of years.

Although the time constraints in internet cafes might prevent such a dramatic shift, it will still take quite some time before anyone joins.

Upon hearing Liu Yuan's explanation, Kisara showed a look of sudden understanding: "I see..."

Based on Kisara's experience, new staff usually came in quickly at previous branches, so she was worried that there might be some problems with this branch coming in so slowly. But now it seems that there are no problems.

Chapter 632 Jibril Asks for Leave to Go Home

Today is the same day as every month when the game refreshes. Everyone gathers together to play, eat, drink, and have fun. The new game is called Assassin's Creed, but reads like Musou Infiltration.

A simple pet-raising game can still provide the joy of owning a virtual pet. Moreover, the technology in internet cafes can even bring virtual pets back to life to accompany their owners.

The two games were previewed by staff through live streams, forum posts, and promotions on TT groups. Promotion was carried out across multiple channels worldwide, and each branch was prepared to welcome new customers.

After all, our store's strategy is that launching a new game always brings in new customers. As staff members, many of us only realized this after working for a long time, and now it's become a beginner's guide.

With the increasing number of games available, newcomers face a high learning cost if they don't engage in targeted learning.

Of course, although a new game was released today, not everyone can experience the joy of it. For example, Jibril, who was courting death again, was once again tied up like a dumpling and hung from the ceiling by Liu Yuan.

Bored, Jibril, who was hanging there, fell asleep. As she slept, she realized it was almost time for the store to open.

"Ugh! What a pity I didn't get to play any new games."

With ten minutes to go before opening, Jibril yawned and complained to Makise Kurisu. This was the main internet cafe, where Liu Yuan started. Now, they'd brought in every possible customer from around the main cafe, and now they were slowly moving towards more distant locations.

Radiation attracts more customers to the internet cafe.

Their staff still do the same things every day, but they haven't done things like guiding customers to choose rewards in a long time because the shop is too old. Many people already know what each game reward is and which one is suitable for.

At the same time, as more and more games are available in internet cafes, more and more people are acting as mentors to newbies. These people play with newbies in their spare time, enabling them to quickly acquire the ability to solve problems in their own world.

After a while, the two of them didn't have much to do. At most, they would recommend food and drinks to people.

It was a bit boring, but how should I put it? I was happy to have some free time. Because Liu Yuan didn't care what they did during work hours, some slept, some read, and they definitely didn't do any work if they could slack off.

As for whether doing this will get you fired? That's too complicated to think about.

However, today Jibril may have found the feeling she had when she was captured back then; she suddenly felt a little homesick.

"Xiao Ji? What's wrong?"

Makise Kurisu noticed that something was wrong with Jibril. Although Jibril usually acted like a lazy bum, her eyes were never this deep.

You know, Jibril usually spends her work hours either chatting, snacking and drinking cola, or sleeping. Why is she suddenly so serious today?

Jibril shook her head: "I don't know, and I'm even more... homesick?"

This feeling didn't come suddenly. After playing many games, she gradually came to understand what humanity was. Having experienced so much, although as an immortal being she didn't care, when Liu Yuan tied her up, she suddenly recalled how she was when she was captured.

Back then, when she discovered Shubi, she even wanted to cut off Shubi's head and take it back as a collectible. But look at her now, although her body is still small, Jibril's inner self has undergone earth-shattering changes.

If Liu Yuan were to give his opinion, she would be more like a person.

Upon hearing Jibril's words, Makise Kurisu said, "Then ask the boss for a day off? Hmm~ We don't have that much going on at the shop, you can ask for a few days off to go back and check things out, the boss will definitely approve it!"

Everyone knows Liu Yuan's personality very well. Sometimes he can be inexplicably stubborn, but he will try his best to agree to any request.

Hearing this, Jibril nodded: "You're right, I feel... I really can ask for a few days off to go back home. Hmm... according to many games, this is called returning to one's roots, right?"

Jibril smiled, reflecting on her experiences. She found that these past few years had been more interesting and hopeful than the previous thousands of years. But it was precisely because of this that, after experiencing familiar bondage again today, she felt a strong urge to go home and visit.

With these thoughts in mind, Jibril contacted Liu Yuan.

Jibril: "Boss! I'd like to ask for a few days off."

Liu Yuan: "No problem!"

Jibril had already prepared her reasons for taking leave, but she was completely dumbfounded when she saw that Liu Yuan's three reasons were all correct.

Liu Yuan: "Don't be dumbfounded, I'd love for you to take a few more days off. Look at you, all you do at work is eat and sleep, you're making me lose money!"

Jibril couldn't help but retort, "You've never paid me a salary either!"

Liu Yuan: "You still haven't paid back the money you owe me!"

Jibril: "I only owe that little bit of money!"

Liu Yuan: "That little bit? You're already owing 20 billion!"

Jibril was shocked. When did she start owing 20 billion? Even if she sold herself, she couldn't pay it back!

But then Jibril gave up and couldn't pay back the money. That's fine with her. She set herself a small goal: to eat Liu Yuan out of house and home for the next few thousand years.

Thinking about all this, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Although Liu Yuan had approved her leave, since she had already made it today, Jibril decided to make the most of it. She would consider going home tonight.

The day passed quickly. As soon as the internet cafe closed and its staff went home, Jibril returned directly to her own world, the world ruled by Fanlou.

"How long has it been since I've been back?"
