I'm just an internet cafe owner

"What about her?"

Tina looked at the girl in her hand. As time went by, she gradually turned into a human. Although she was human on the outside, the cells in her body had been completely infected by the virus. She was now a virus person.

“I’ve decided to keep her under my care for now. If she can’t be saved, I’ll kill her.”

Hearing this, Lyon casually tossed out a mobile terminal: "Take this, call us if there are any problems."

Thank you.

Tina felt a warmth in her heart as she held the mobile device. She never expected that, at a time like this, a friend she knew and believed in from the game would come to the real world.

"Then we should go."

"Don't forget to pick up Ada!"

"I won't forget."

A voice inside Leon told him it was time to leave; otherwise, his rash actions might escalate into an international conflict or other trouble. Knowing Tina was safe put his mind at ease after all this time.

As Leon left, the flip-screen mobile terminal in Tina's hand, which resembled a smartphone, lit up.

"Come with me, I'm not like that idiot."

Ada Wong's image appeared on the screen. Upon seeing a familiar face, Tina refused, saying, "No, there are still people here who need me, and there are many more people infected with the virus who need me. I can't just leave."

"As expected, being stupid is contagious. Call your sister if you need anything, she'll definitely answer."

"Thank you, Sister Ida."

"Good~"

The screen went black, and then Chris and Claire's communication came through.

"Hey, Tina, how are you feeling?"

"Very good, how about you?"

"us…"

Claire interrupted, "Idiot, don't waste time. Tina, we should go. Leon told us you're not leaving, but it's okay, I'll come to Japan to visit you soon!"

Claire winked mischievously as she spoke. Tina smiled at that moment.

Chris cut off Claire's communication and warned her, "You need to be careful from now on. You're in a dangerous situation right now."

Tina said nonchalantly, "Is it as dangerous as when we were chased by the tyrant back then?"

"Of course not! Keep it up!"

"Um!"

The two men bumped fists in front of the screen.

As the screen went black, the two fighter jets flew away in the sky.

Looking at the girl in her arms and watching the plane gradually disappear into the sky, Tina felt like she was dreaming. The whole process was just as thrilling as when she faced the final bow with Chris and Leon.

"Is this... real?"

"Guess what?"

Liu Yuan's voice came from beside her. Looking at Liu Yuan, Tina asked nervously, "Boss, is the game... really a game?"

"Who knows? Just like the world we live in, it's not impossible to think of this world as an online game where you only have one life."

"That memory..."

"You'll find out when you log into the game tomorrow, won't you?"

"Thanks…"

Liu Yuan reached out and patted Tina's head: "No need for formalities. If you're really interested, bringing more guests is the best approach. Like Rick, if you're short on money, you can risk your lives."

"But our lifespan..."

Tina knew that the cursed children had very short lifespans and might turn into Gastrea as early as their teens.

Liu Yuan let go of her hand and counted on his fingers, saying, "I took a look at you cursed children. The shortest-lived one can live to be a hundred or eighty years old without any external influences. It's fine to mortgage several decades of your lifespan for fun. You can pay it back later when you make money."

Liu Yuan wasn't worried at all about not paying back the money after making money. As long as he mortgaged his lifespan, if he refused to pay back the money later, his lifespan would be deducted when the time came. According to the system, lifespan was equivalent to a part of the soul, so it was quite valuable.

"really?"

Tina saw more possibilities. If before she was only thinking about how one person could lead a group of children to success, now Tina could consider how a group of people could lead another group of people to success. However, the people entering the internet cafe had to be selected from those who were more mature.

Seeing Tina deep in thought, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just an internet cafe owner; I won't turn away my customers."

Liu Yuan had also left. Tina's mind was at peace, her goal was clear, and there was no danger around, so there was no need for her to leave.

Not long after he left, Tina also found Chizu Natsume, and at the same time, the silver-haired, red-eyed little girl Scorpio in her arms opened her eyes.

"Mother?"

Tina felt okay after hearing "Mom," but Hiruko Kohina was a little upset.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Hiruko Kohina was furious and powerless, while Senju Natsuyo sat quietly to the side watching.

Meanwhile, inside the internet cafe, when Liu Yuan returned, Kisara was still playing games.

He wanted to sleep, but after tossing and turning for so long, he was wide awake.

"Boss? You're back?"

"You're back, what are you going to play?"

“MC, didn’t you say you were going to mine blocks to build something? I’ve started mining.”

"Pretty efficient, huh?"

Liu Yuan glanced at the map; Mugeng had already mined an entire slime chunk that night. A slime chunk refers to a specific area in the Minecraft game where slimes spawn. The slime balls produced by slimes are a very useful resource for blocky characters.

"Of course, don't you know who I am? Come on, come on, we're just waiting for you to start the construction."

So I'm just a tool?

"No way! You're my best, best partner!"

Are you sure it's not just the two of us tonight and you don't have a choice?

"Tch, we've been found out."

During their bickering, Liu Yuan casually grabbed a bottle of Coke from the front desk: "Want a Coke?"

"Yes! Canned! Iced, not iced!"

"So much to do."

For the two of them, tonight will be another sleepless night.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Rick and Shubi's Bet

The internet cafe opened for business as usual at eight o'clock the next morning.

'Think Space Internet Cafe is open! Come and have some fun!'

All the internet cafe customers entered the internet cafe as soon as they received this message, and Natsuki Subaru was the first to arrive today.

"yeah!"

Natsuki Subaru jumped and danced with excitement upon confirming that he was the first one today.

"What's wrong? Are you so excited because you ate poisonous mushrooms?"

"I'm number one!"

Just as he was getting excited, Fujimaru Kaori strode in. When she saw that she wasn't the first one to arrive, she leaned against the wall in utter disbelief.

"Damn it, why? I clicked 'agree' right away."

Liu Yuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "There is a delay. Some places may receive the signal quickly, while others may receive it slowly."

Natsuki Subaru didn't care about any of that. He boasted to Fujimaru Kaori, "I won! You have to pay for my internet today."

"Fine, I'll take it. But hey boss! Can you make the latency in both our worlds the same? Otherwise, I'll never beat him in this lifetime."

"You'll have to pay more."

Liu Yuan knew about the bet they made yesterday: whoever logged in last would have to treat the other to internet access for a day. Liu Yuan had no interest in participating in such things. Latency was like playing on a China Telecom server in the north – the latency was slightly higher, but it was still playable. There was a way to reduce latency, but it would cost extra.

"Sure! Deduct it from my funds!"

At that moment, Fujimaru Kaori revealed a cruel smile: "Hehehe, Natsuki Subaru, you wait, I will definitely beat you tomorrow."

As the two were taking their oaths, Liu Yuan asked helplessly, "Do you two have internet access? If not, please turn around and leave."

"Great! I'll take care of his today!"

The first group to arrive happily went online.

Less than half a minute later, the people from the Naruto world and the continent of Tina arrived. However, Tina wasn't alone today; she brought Senju Natsuyo with her.

"Boss, turn on two machines. Give Xia Shi a game."

"Come on, girl, put your hand up here so we can check your age."

Chizu Natsuyo placed her hand on the card reader, and with a "You're an adult" announcement, Liu Yuan felt relieved. He was most afraid of people like Tina and Chizu Natsuyo, whose ages he couldn't tell and who looked very young.

Now that he was an adult, he turned on the machine following the normal procedure.

"Boss, Tina's gaze towards you is strange. Did you help Tina yesterday?"

"You could tell that?"

"Of course, she usually sees you as a friend, but today she is very grateful, and there is something else to it."

"That's normal, everyone's like that when they're young."

While the two were chatting, Rick also arrived today. However, Rick looked a bit tired compared to yesterday. He didn't come alone; he brought a child with him.

At that moment, Liu Yuan turned to look at Mu Geng.

"Can I ask you something? Is this a legitimate store?"

Kisara hurriedly shook his head.
