I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Sir, that day..."

The Emperor spoke first. In fact, the identities and backgrounds of the people Liu Yuan killed that day had all been investigated. Were they police officers? Police? What they did was worse than scum.

"That day? I didn't like them. But you've come to see me today because it's about the Cursed Child, right? How about we make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?"

“Your stone tablet will collapse in eight days at most. I bet the Cursed Child can resolve this crisis on its own within seven days, proving that the Cursed Child is useful and not a threat. As part of the bet, if we win, Holy Emperor, you must personally order the Cursed Child to be granted the most basic human rights.”

What about failure?

Liu Yuan spread his hands: "If we fail, we'll all die!"

He could tell that the girl was currently pushing for human rights issues related to the children of the curse, but there were some significant obstacles.

This was not the plan Liu Yuan had in mind. If it were Liu Yuan, he would have gone up and chopped all the enemies off, leaving only the Holy Emperor to threaten her into giving orders.

This idea was actually sent by Tina via TT. As the cursed child, Tina's words carried little weight, so she could only rely on him, the boss.

Failure? How could that be? Liu Yuan knew Tina's strength very well. Putting aside everything else, just take that Ada Wong Heart Rocket Launcher with unlimited ammo. That thing is practically invincible below the fourth stage.

Chapter 89

Liu Yuan's role was primarily deterrent, letting outsiders know that Tina had powerful connections and that everything she did was orchestrated. In reality, aside from his initial display of overwhelming power upon arrival, Liu Yuan mostly remained a bystander, observing the situation.

Tina's handling of matters is still somewhat immature, but her thinking logic is very clear; she knows how to grasp the big picture and win over the leaders in the Tokyo area.

As for that old man? He's about to be buried, and none of his offspring are particularly capable. As long as Tina maintains a good relationship with the Holy Emperor, this Gastrea invasion will mark the beginning of a low-risk reversal for the Cursed Child's identity.

"Oh, it's about to begin." On the stone tablet, Liu Yuan watched as Bi Suwu commanded his army to shoot at the stone tablet without crouching. According to his observation, this stone tablet was targeted because of shoddy workmanship.

Humans have no senses, but Gastrea can perceive which monolith is stronger and which is weaker. An attack by multiple Gastrea will inevitably cause the monolith to fall.

but…

Liu Yuan looked at Tina and her group, who had already set out into the forest.

Tina, Natsuyo Senju, and Scorpio, who has successfully become human, are now formidable fighters. Tina, in particular, was only infected with the Gastrea virus before the Resident Evil world synchronized with reality.

However, after clearing the game, the system merged Tina's game data with her real-world data.

In the game, Tina doesn't seem to have any special abilities, but in reality, as an experimental subject, she has been injected with all kinds of viruses, and after these viruses were absorbed, they successfully enhanced her physical abilities.

Her physical recovery ability has now reached the fifth stage, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a humanoid monster. But does that matter?

"Xia Shi, Scorpio, you two cover me for a moment, we'll push through."

Tina has pulled out the Ada Wong Heart-Shaped Bomb Launcher with unlimited ammo. This isn't a nickname; the launcher features a heart drawn by Ada Wong. Ada Wong specially drew this on the launcher to thank Tina for helping ease her tension with Leon after they finished Resident Evil 2, and gave it to her during the final battle against the Tyrant.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

At this moment, Tina seemed to be possessed by a spirit, firing a rocket every two seconds on average. Any Gastrea below the fourth tier that was directly hit was instantly pulverized. Larger fourth-tier creatures could withstand it for a while and were severely injured, while smaller ones simply said goodbye to this world.

Seeing this, Senju Natsume fell into deep thought. Considering the size of the rocket launcher and the ammunition, taking down a first or second-tier enemy would be a matter of luck, but now a fourth-tier enemy was no match for him…

Forget it, Chizu Natsuyo didn't want to explain anymore. After all, internet cafes that allowed players to bring items out of the game had already appeared, so she could accept some unscientific things appearing in reality as well.

but…

As Chizuki Natsuyo watched the power absorbed by the 'vines' she controlled, she fell into deep thought once again. The Veronica virus within her body acted like a transfer station, constantly absorbing the surrounding dead Gastrea and converting it into power or into vines to spread around her.

Meanwhile, more and more Gastrea broke free from Aldebaran's control and submitted to Senju Natsuyo. Senju Natsuyo had a vague feeling that these Gastrea were calling her 'Queen'.

"Tina, for

What? I feel like they're calling me queen?

Tina asked the question directly, and replied while shooting, "It might be due to the Veronica virus. You can speed up the game progress. The Veronica virus contains the DNA sequence of the ancient queen ant. You also have the Gastrea virus in your body. Under the influence of the two viruses, you may have been completely regarded as the leader by them."

"This also explains why I can control them."

Playing Resident Evil has been a huge boost for Tina, giving her a vast amount of knowledge about biohazards. Unfortunately, she's constantly being captured and experimented on before each new installment. From the first to the sixth film, it's been a never-ending cycle; she'll probably be free from capture by the timeline reaches the seventh or eighth timeline normally.

Thinking about this, Tina felt a pang of emotion.

Looking at the Gastrea around him, and then thinking about the Bow he was facing, he realized that he hadn't really fought anything substantial in a long time.

"Fine, fine~ Take this shot!"

The three of them fought and recruited monsters at the same time, without saying a word, just fighting and killing each other. Every now and then, a cannon shot would kill a group of small monsters, and then vines would extend and sweep away a group of large monsters.

While the fighting raged on, Liu Yuan looked at the group of people in the hall, a smile creeping onto his face—he almost burst out laughing. Some were currying favor with the Holy Emperor, trying to veto the Cursed Child Human Rights Act, while others remained aloof, simply doing whatever the Holy Emperor said.

As for Kikunojo Tendo, although he didn't support the bill, he didn't outwardly reject it either. This truly demonstrates his shrewdness; knowing he's getting old, he's paving the way for his family's future generations.

Seize power? Liu Yuan shook his head. The Holy Emperor is quite capable, and given the overwhelming faith in him in the Tokyo region, anyone else attempting to seize power would definitely fail. In this post-apocalyptic environment, when resources are plentiful and living conditions are adequate, faith becomes paramount.

That's how things are in the Tokyo area now. There's internet, people are basically self-sufficient in food and drink, the socio-economic system is still in place, and even Gastrea can hardly harm humans anymore.

The Holy Emperor possesses lofty aspirations and enjoys immense popular support. Coupled with her exceptional beauty, she appeals to the aesthetic sensibilities of 80% of the population. Some may support her for her beauty, others for her aspirations; whatever their motivation, they treat the Holy Emperor as a figure of faith. Only if their faith is overthrown will they truly rebel.

Human settlements maintain the status quo by constantly shifting internal conflicts; if a real conflict breaks out, the settlement could disappear.

“However… he has no reason to live.” Liu Yuan noticed that the guard officer, Howaki Takuto, was making some small moves, so he temporarily left under the pretext of checking.

"Tsk, old man."

Tendo Kikunojo was displeased by Liu Yuan's way of addressing him. He glared at Liu Yuan as if he would kill him if Liu Yuan didn't say anything useful.

"Old man, I won't comment on politics, and your transfer of hatred has nothing to do with me. But I want to ask you, what crime should someone commit if they destroy supplies for frontline combat personnel during wartime?"

"what?"

Liu Yuan laughed. What was going on? The Gastrea army had practically stormed in, and instead they were sabotaging the frontline soldiers' logistics. Not just taking a cut, but completely destroying everything, throwing all sorts of resources into the sea. These guys were truly something else.

"Believe it or not, you know who's missing from this room. I'd be happy to see the Tokyo area completely collapse because of some parasites."

Suddenly, Liu Yuan felt that spending money to come here was worthwhile. He hadn't expected to witness such a ridiculous farce. To say there was discrimination against the "Cursed Child" or even violence was simply a matter of inhumanity. But damaging strategic resources for personal gain before the war, Liu Yuan just wanted to see the spectacle.

Chapter Ninety: The Tomb of the Immortal Sword General (Online Getting Lost)

Although Liu Yuan posed this question to Kikunojo Tendou, everyone knew who he was referring to. Is it true? Probably not.

From the moment Liu Yuan entered, the strategists from each team began analyzing his subtle body movements, tone of voice, and facial expressions. The results were bizarre, encompassing almost all of his personality traits.

However, based on the analysis of all the teams, Liu Yuan is someone who would never lie, because there's no need for him to lie. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that he single-handedly killed so many scumbags that day, yet ordinary police officers, passersby, and policemen didn't even suffer minor injuries, shows that he has extremely strong execution capabilities and a clear sense of right and wrong.

Such a person would disdain lying in this situation.

"Sir, are you telling the truth?"

The Holy Emperor's tone was not one of doubt, but rather one of tension. She was worried about the police officers and soldiers on the front lines.

"Why don't you just investigate? People who would do something that could wipe out an entire clan for their own benefit are very loose-lipped. Also, you need to be careful when choosing people. This person can be as cunning and treacherous as your aide, but you must make sure they can distinguish between what's important and what's not."

Liu Yuan had a clear understanding of the situation; he knew that everything he did was based on his own sense of right and wrong, good and evil. Therefore, he wouldn't interfere too much with how the world developed or what kind of morality it fostered.

Let Tina handle it herself. She can achieve her ideals and ambitions on her own. She can just show up here from time to time and give outsiders the impression that she has powerful connections and that outsiders shouldn't mess around.

That's enough to stabilize the situation.

However, some people cannot tolerate it even if the world is different and their living environment is different.

No sooner had Liu Yuan spoken than less than ten minutes later, Bao Xiezhuo was arrested, caught red-handed with the stolen goods; the supplies were found, and the man was apprehended. There was no further explanation, no opportunity for him to plead his case; he was simply dragged off and executed on the spot.

Furthermore, the logistics personnel inspected the supplies and found that they were insoluble in water. The weapons and equipment were designed for use in heavy rain and could still be used even after being submerged in water for a short period of time.

After everything was settled, the Holy Emperor and Tendou Kikunojo simultaneously received messages from their subordinates.

"Not bad. He knows how to cultivate some subordinates. He's not just a pretty face. There's potential for him to work for us."

The Holy Emperor's weakness is that she's too naive and prone to acting on emotion. However, this isn't a major problem, as she has almost no capable people around her. If Tina can seize the opportunity, she can use the Holy Emperor as a springboard to achieve her own goals in the future.

Not long after, everyone received information that Tina had led a group to wipe out Aldebaran and several powerful Gastrea. At that moment, Liu Yuan prepared to leave.

"Please keep your promise, I'm off now~"

Liu Yuan vanished in an instant. At the same time, a line of blood appeared on the necks of Tendou Kikunojo, the Holy Emperor, and several guards around him.

The swordsmanship technique, used to leave a mark on everyone's vital points in an instant, clearly indicated that since a bet was made, it had to be honored; otherwise, Liu would be ruthless.

At this moment, the Holy Emperor also smiled. It just so happens that she has been working on the bill related to the cursed son these days. With Liu Yuan's provocation, those radicals will not obstruct her too much.

After checking on Tina's situation and finding it perfectly safe, and realizing there was nothing he needed to do, he happily returned to the shop to prepare for bed.

Before Jibril came along, he could say he spent his days cultivating immortality with Kisaragi, but with Jibril, he was liberated. He could now happily go to bed and sleep soundly every night, especially now, when Liu Yuan went back and said he would take out his quilt and sleep with it between his legs.

But as I said before, you have to be careful that Jibril doesn't steal your clothes in the middle of the night.

As soon as Liu Yuan opened the shop door and came back, he saw two people lying on the chairs looking like they had lost their souls.

"What's wrong with you two? You look like you've been pulling all-nighters and your kidneys are exhausted?"

"Boss, help!"

Kisara pointed to the computer, where the game he was playing was none other than The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

The game version of Legend of Sword and Fairy can be played solo or with two players. However, when playing together, the combat is done by the player, while the story scenes are presented as pre-programmed CG sequences of the main characters.

However, it's not a big problem; it can't stop the two gamers who initially disliked each other from now playing together.

Liu Yuan was puzzled, though, because he remembered that the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game wasn't difficult. If you were salty enough, you could even beat it by being the sword body of Shili Slope. By the way, that's exactly what Gan Yu did.

That's right, Gan Yu, this workaholic, bought a game called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to relax with Zhong Li's help. However, she wasn't very good at games, so she just kept playing it in Shili Slope. Liu Yuan found it strange; he hadn't been able to persuade her before, but Zhong Li's advice always worked. Did these two know each other?

Incidentally, the game that Zhongli bought for Gan Yu was paid for through the Wangsheng Hall.

Liu Yuan was at a loss for words to say anything about this, and could only manage a smile.

Liu Yuan came closer, and good heavens, Liu Yuan finally understood why these two looked so desperate—they had stumbled upon General Ka's tomb.

This maze isn't just Liu Yuan bragging; anyone who tries it will have their head spinning.

"It looked so easy when I watched Chtholly play it, why is it so hard for us to play? It's not fair!!"

Jibril looked weak, but her voice didn't betray any weakness. However, the breathlessness was palpable.

"Because she's the real-life version who joined the protagonist's team and latched onto the protagonist's coattails!"

Although the overall difficulty of the game is greater than the actual difficulty, sometimes, for maps like mazes that can overload a pig's brain, following the protagonist is much more effective than wandering around aimlessly on your own.

But in game mode, it's a different story. Players need to explore on their own, and game mode uses the character's data. If you can't find something, you can't find it; if you can't beat something, you can't beat it. Plus, these two are...

Liu Yuan slapped himself on the forehead. He knew Mugeng all too well. Resident Evil 6 was such a simple puzzle; he was guiding her through it. But if they were separated for more than two minutes and he let her solve it on her own, it would definitely backfire.
