I'm just an internet cafe owner

Based on system feedback, Rick's temporarily stored data core has a soul. After Hugh's so-called data sharing, the data itself was not formatted but remained here.

Theoretically, it's possible to recreate a machine using this core. This is because the system can only store inanimate objects, those without consciousness. However, the system has determined this data core to be a living entity and wants to offer two options for preservation.

Alternatively, you can completely format the data and save it within the system.

Either provide a certain amount of money, digitize the data, and then anthropomorphize the system to help support it.

Liu Yuan went straight for the second option without hesitation, but it was a bit pricey, costing 50,000 yuan. What does that mean? It's like extracting the data from the core data center and transforming it into something that would take a considerable amount of time...

Working for free.

However, Liu Yuan thought long-term. The most reasonable number of people in an internet cafe is around fifty. If a branch is expanded, people will definitely need to manage it. Since people will need to manage it, employees who understand human relationships are indispensable.

Kisara? Forget it, I'll just stick to being my assistant. Since Kisara isn't good enough…

Liu Yuan had a choice; he chose option two.

Chapter 71: Shubi's Encounter with Jibril

Inside the cave, Rick led Schwi back to the human settlement.

It was supposed to be a very ordinary comeback, but this time Rick felt nervous.

The moment the door opened, Kronen Dora hugged Rick.

"Finally back."

"Help me call these people over to assemble, it's important."

"I'll work for a little while and then come back to work."

Rick explained earnestly, "I have discovered a way to change our destiny."

"what?"

At this moment, Coronet also put away her playful attitude and called over all the people Rick had mentioned. These were all people who had accompanied Rick on his journeys; they were brave and resourceful, willing to give everything for the continuation of the human race.

He decided to select a group of these people and bring them all into an internet cafe to study together online.

Through Schwi, Riku learned the truth about the great war. The gods waged this war to seize the ultimate divine position.

In Red Alert's story mode, the time ratio is completely different from the outside world. While progressing through the story, Rick spends a lot of time thinking.

We need to think about how to end wars and how to ensure that future generations can live without worry.

During this period, through the introduction of Allied intelligence agents, he began to study 'military strategy'. This military strategy did not specifically refer to Chinese military strategy, but rather to all strategies for leading troops into battle worldwide.

The intelligence agents were even worried that Rick, the only Allied commander, would be betrayed, and even summarized and released a lot of politically related content.

Thus, in the game's storyline, Rick is suppressed by the Soviet army all the way to the European Union. During this period, Rick learns with the help of an intelligence agent.

During this period of study, I learned a valuable lesson.

There are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests. Why are humans not valued? Because even the orcs cannot defeat them, let alone affect the interests of other races.

In that case, the weakest of them, humans, must launch a counterattack against the strongest god, who will grant humanity the Star Grail.

He saw how prosperous and brilliant human civilization was in a world inhabited only by humans, and he believed that the humans in his world would definitely achieve this level of success in a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years.

He also conveyed this intelligence to the 179 people present, who had absolute conviction and extremely strong execution ability.

They chose to carry out this plan, disappearing completely from human society as ghosts. They would concentrate their efforts on learning, guiding the various races together, using their power to unite the Star Grail, and finally seizing it.

As a result, the number of people in the internet cafe increased during this period.

As more and more people were brought in by Ricky, Liu Yuan's smile grew brighter and brighter.

Especially when Liu Yuan saw Rick bringing people to the internet cafe every day, his expression was practically kissing them. As for the hygiene of these people? Not worried at all. Everyone who enters the internet cafe is automatically cleaned, they're spotless.

Why does Liu Yuan still shower every day despite these circumstances? It's a habit. If he doesn't shower for more than three days, he feels restless all over.

"So comfortable~ So comfortable~"

As Rick and his people continued to spend money, Liu Yuan added ten more machines.

That's right, Rick's side has very few resources, but he has a lot of people, and they work together to scavenge for trash all over the world.

With Hugh, the Goblin, around, ordinary ruins are no challenge for them. Just recently, they found another Goblin ruin, discovering a damaged spaceship inside. After dismantling and selling the parts, they could afford to have twenty people surfing the internet simultaneously.

However, considering that no one has any skills or ways to survive at this stage, Rick and Shubi are currently responsible for scavenging around the world, while the rest of the people are mainly tasked with studying hard and trying their best to teach others what they have learned in the game.

In Red Alert's Realistic Mode, you learn more than just command skills and strategic thinking; you also gain access to all the technology and culture of the era it's set in. How can Realistic Mode be truly realistic if it can't simulate a real world?

However, there is a drawback to this approach: you must choose the right storyline to learn from, and you must use passive command to learn from it. The price of passive command is that you have to repeat this level many times.

But it's worth it compared to the various kinds of knowledge you can learn, such as technology, culture, and agriculture.

Today, as usual, Rick and Shubi were analyzing the Forest Elf sorcerers, but this time, they discovered a special sorcerer whose power was enough to destroy the planet.

"Damn it! Are they trying to destroy this planet?"

At this moment, Rick felt a surge of anger. These races were arrogant and looked down on all other lives except his own. If these races were simply driven by the law of the jungle, and humans were too weak to be anything but food, Rick had no choice but to accept his fate.

But they take advantage of being beings created by gods, treating the native life on this planet as mere playthings…

“里

gram…"

"It's okay, I'm just a little angry."

"Don't be angry, sweetie, don't be so affectionate~"

Hugh's kissing was tempting, but Rick knew better. He could kiss her however he wanted back home, but work was his priority here.

"Let's get to work first; we'll dismantle the ruins here."

"Leave it to Shubi!"

The two worked for ten hours straight. Even with the enhancements provided by the internet cafe's system, Rick, being human, was somewhat exhausted after ten hours of intense online activity.

In ten hours, the two had acquired a large amount of resources, and looking at so many resources, Rick couldn't help but smile.

"The future will only get better and better!"

Rick stretched, and just then, Huggies came over with a pillow.

"Let's take a break. Leave the rest to Shubi. Shubi will be fine!"

Hugh showed off her arms to indicate that she was very strong.

Rick nodded and said, "Then I'll close my eyes and rest for a while. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, it's a piece of cake for Shubi~"

"Then I'll rest for a while. Hugh, if you encounter any danger, be sure to wake me up."

"I... will."

Hughie didn't know why she hesitated. She was just a machine; she could solve even the most difficult math problems in an instant, but at this moment she hesitated.

She continued her work, and so as not to disturb Rick, she flew to the wreckage next door to begin scavenging. First, she scavenged various kinds of knowledge, which were very valuable and worth more than mere fragments.

She was only a few dozen kilometers away from Rick, but as long as Rick looked for her on TT, she could return within seconds.

The remains of this elf species are unusually large, and it's completely baffling why these elves migrated there. But perhaps it's for the best; according to the system's estimate, the remains are worth at least 100,000, and excavating them all will allow everyone to surf the internet in peace for a while.

"For...Rick..."

To increase the speed, Shubi used some spirits. This did increase the speed, but it attracted some unusual creatures.

"Oh dear, I was just out for a casual stroll when I sensed some elven energy and came to investigate out of curiosity. I never expected to find something like this here. Greetings, scrap metal."

Above Shubi, there was a figure with flowing, rainbow-like hair and a rotating halo of geometric patterns above his head. His amber eyes held a palpable killing intent.

Skywing species! Hughie never expected that there would be Skywing species here.

Chapter 72 Hughie vs. Jibril, Fusion Strike Ready

Meanwhile, in the internet cafe, Liu Yuan, who was staying up all night playing games with Mu Geng, suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Geng, you play by yourself for now, I'm going out for a bit."

Kisara took off his glasses and muttered in dissatisfaction, "How many times have I told you, my name is Kisara, not Geng. And what are you doing so late?"

"Go find the little girl."

"??"

"Then don't come back!"

Kisara casually picked up an unopened can of cola and threw it forcefully at Liu Yuan's head. Liu Yuan grabbed an ice-cold cola from the counter, threw it back, and complained, "It's nighttime here, but it might be elsewhere. And you, you devil, is your brain only filled with yellow dye?"

"Go!"

Kisara caught the iced cola, and watching Liu Yuan leave completely, he muttered in dissatisfaction, "I didn't want to either..."

At the same time, Jibril's wings spread out fully on her waist, and a murderous smile appeared on her face.

Upon seeing this, Hughie's eyes widened, and emotion appeared in them.

She closed her eyes, suppressed her emotions, and then opened them.

"[Warning] If this unit is hostile, this unit will take appropriate measures."

"Just with your one analyzer?"

Jibril's question unsettled Schwi. As a Mech, she knew the cost of a lone Mech encountering a Winged Mech, especially for someone like her who was completely detached from the group network.

"I've confirmed that there are no Connectors within a range of over 100 kilometers, so this is a good opportunity for you to fight the Skywing race one-on-one. Fortunately, the Machine Race doesn't have a concept of death, so please don't put up a futile resistance..."

"I refuse!"

Shubi interrupted Jibril: "This machine is abandoned and has no value. Please let me go."

Jibril showed a moment of surprise, then her face was filled with a perverted smile of excitement, as if she had just gotten five gold items in a single 10-pull.

"A fearless machine-type creature actually begged for mercy? And it was a defective one that had broken its link? The odds are incredible!"

Jibril couldn't help but drool, and even let out a smile that was so perverted it couldn't be more perverted.

Jibril produced her weapon, and Shubi calculated the probability of victory, which resulted in... 0.

“Dian Kai…”

Shubi's body was surrounded by machines belonging to the Machine type, and her right hand also transformed into the shape of a small cannon.

"The probability of 0 does not exist. I will stake all of human wisdom on survival."
