I'm just an internet cafe owner

Jibril, a warlike Skywing, possesses an exceptional talent for warfare. She used to charge straight through dungeons, but now she's stuck. Although they're supposed to be a team, their combined puzzle-solving abilities probably don't even equal half of Liu Yuan's.

"Alright, I'll log on and show you guys around."

"Boss is the best, I'll go get you a Coke."

Mu Geng excitedly stood up, but Liu Yuan, who was still sitting, seemed to have forgotten something very important.

"What is it?"

As Liu Yuan joined the game, he kept thinking about what he had forgotten. Had he forgotten to help Tina gain her rights? No need! Tina might be inexperienced, but that doesn't mean she's incapable. He could just lend a hand.

"What is that? Never mind, forgetting isn't important. Kisaragi, Kokichi, watch carefully, this is how you play the maze."

The General's Tomb is hell for newcomers, but for Liu Yuan, a seasoned veteran, he can solve all the puzzles in the General's Tomb with his eyes closed and lead people out of the maze.

Chapter Ninety-One: Ctholly and the Newcomer

Liu Yuan, as expected of a veteran player, led the two through the entire General's Tomb by stepping on the mechanisms on the left and dealing with the giant monster on the right, going up and down repeatedly.

"Boss is awesome!"

Kisara sighed, realizing that whenever she got stuck, going to Liu Yuan was always the right thing to do. As for figuring it out on her own? Figuring it out my foot! What she liked to do was fight or command others to fight; she was really bad at puzzle-solving.

Jibril slumped to the side, fully realizing how terrifying it was to be weak. It was a pity the game mode didn't allow using one's own attributes; otherwise, she would have charged in and smashed through the entire maze.

Liu Yuan expressed his understanding, acknowledging that everyone has different perspectives on gaming. As a boss, he was content to bring joy to others. He felt it was getting late and decided to go to bed for a nap.

Today he was also going to be a good young man who goes to bed early and gets up early, but the moment he got up and saw the time, I froze.

At 7:00 AM sharp, it's time to pack up the internet cafe and prepare for business.

"Wow! Why does time fly by so fast?"

Liu Yuan forgot one thing: he wasted several hours waiting for Tina to act in Tina's world. After returning, he spent several more hours taking Kisaragi and the others through the maze, so time obviously disappeared.

"Never mind~ I'll wash up and get ready to open the door."

Let's sleep tonight~

Anyway, I've been dying from overwork while cultivating immortality for a long time, so what's one or two more days?

At 8:00 AM sharp, the internet cafe opened as usual.

Today's contest between Gudako and Subaru to see who arrived first was won by Gudako, as Subaru overslept and arrived a full ten minutes later. However, Liu Yuan was pleasantly surprised that Chtholly had brought a newcomer with her.

"Boss~~"

Chtholly pointed to the white-haired girl beside her and introduced her, "Her name is Nephren, and she's also here to use the internet. Boss, what kind of discounts do you get for bringing people to use the internet?"

"No, there aren't any internet rules explained, are there?"

"It's explained, it's explained~"

Chtholly nodded vigorously, but the emotionless girl beside her seemed to look at Liu Yuan without any feelings.

She wasn't devoid of emotion, just not very good at expressing it. Yesterday, she, along with three other golden fairies—Ctholly, Ethia, and others—participated in the extermination battle. Ctholly's performance exceeded everyone's expectations; she easily defeated the invading beast with almost no magic consumption.

The Sixth Beast is a very special monster in the world of Chtholly. It possesses the ability to split and multiply, and grow rapidly, making it an extremely troublesome monster. Many Gold Fairies have self-destructed because of this beast.

But what did they see this time? Chtholly's holy swords flew everywhere? Splitting beast energy? The flying swords slashed hundreds of times until they could no longer split.

Then, under Chtholly's protection, they returned unharmed. However, while returning in their airship, Chtholly found Nephren and said she would take her to a good place.

As for why I didn't bring my other companion, it's simply because we couldn't find him and he's still on another ship. I'll just have to wait until the internet cafe opens tomorrow before coming back.

Before coming, Chtholly had explained the rules of the internet cafe, and she didn't believe Chtholly's description of the strange place. But when she suddenly appeared in this internet cafe, she felt like she was dreaming?

Since an elderly person was leading the way, Liu Yuan didn't say much, simply instructing Kisara to take them to the game console. However, before leaving, Chtholly looked at Liu Yuan with a conflicted expression and asked, "Boss, can I teach the skills I learn in the game to others?"

"Sure, if others can learn it, that's her skill too, but are you sure you can explain the techniques and sword control clearly?"

"I can't explain it."

"Isn't that enough? Even if you can't explain it clearly, you can bring your friends along like you did today. The more the better."

"Okay! By the way, boss, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you..."

Chtholly blushed slightly. Based on Liu Yuan's years of experience, if a girl was in this state, there was only one possibility: she was asking him how to seduce other men.

"What's it like when a guy likes someone?"

Chtholly spoke very softly, and since the door had been open for a while and the others had already boarded, put on their glasses, and started having fun, she felt more comfortable asking some private questions.

"Well, that's hard to say. But generally speaking, if a man is interested in a woman, she has a very high success rate if he goes straight for her. In my hometown, there's a saying: 'It's like climbing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but like piercing a thin veil for a woman to pursue a man.' If you like her, and she feels the same way about you, you can take the initiative."

"But...but what if I'm seen as..."

"Absolutely not, but remember this: arrogance ruins your life."

"... "

Chtholly remained silent. She was hearing Liu Yuan's words for the first time, but she took them all to heart.

Meanwhile, Kisara, who had seen Nephren off at the plane, leaned over and said, "Hey, our boss is pretty experienced?"

Liu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever heard a saying?"

"what?"

"The less experience someone has had, the more experience they have."

"There's such a saying?"

You'll see later.

Liu Yuanbiao

He remained calm; compared to women, he preferred playing games. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the past, when he had taken a liking to a beautiful girl.

He'd been pursuing her for a long time: eating out, watching movies, giving her gifts, going to class together, walking back to the dorm together. Until that day, they had dinner together, watched a movie together, and were even about to get a hotel room when he suddenly realized something: the time he'd wasted pursuing her could have been used to grind any game to achieve platinum status.

The money he spent on mobile games would have been enough to guarantee a full set of gear, but he ended up spending all his money and time chasing women?

After that, he became more open-minded and went back to playing games. He realized that playing games was so much fun, but when he looked for a partner, he had to consider her thoughts and guess what was wrong with her.

In that time, he could even play a game of Spider Solitaire during his breaks from playing raids.

Seeing Liu Yuan's expression, Mu Geng couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, you have a story to tell too."

I don't know if I have a story, but I do know that if you don't work, you might have an accident.

In that instant, Kisara sensed a murderous intent. She turned around and saw Nephren and Chtholly, whom she had just brought over, waving for help.

She looked terrified when facing Liu Yuan, but as she turned around, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Coming, coming~"

"Sigh, Kisaragi is really something. He's a senior and a junior, yet he's so diligent. Fine, let's round it down for Kichi. Let's say she only owes one hundred million."

At this moment, Jibril, who was focused on her work, was unaware of what was about to happen to her. However, it wasn't a big deal; by the time she realized it, it would be decades later. She could deal with the future later.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Chtholly and Nephren

Nephren was brought here by Chtholly, so Chtholly was responsible for explaining everything, such as the exchange of lifespan for internet time, and the various amazing aspects of the game.

She initially just wanted to see the storyline and experience the wonderful time in the game world, but then a problem arose.

After becoming engrossed in the world of Chinese Paladin, she gradually forgot her original purpose and instead started shipping couples!

That's right, she's a shipper for Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao. Lin Yueru's original martial arts contest for marriage was completely ruined by Chtholly, and the subsequent plot can only be described as unrecognizable.

However, Chtholly isn't promoting how great the game is right now; instead, she's emphasizing to Nephren the specific things they need to do.

"Nefflian, you must remember this: learn the Shu Mountain martial arts. I can teach you sword techniques, but I don't understand the martial arts at all."

Only those who have used it know how beneficial the Shu Mountain techniques are to golden demons. Golden demons do indeed have short lifespans and must even be prepared to self-destruct.

Having witnessed the beauty of the world, she didn't want to die so soon. At least before confessing to William, before seeing Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao truly together, and before seeing those little golden fairies grow up, she didn't want to die.

That's just how people are. If they've never seen beauty, their lives might just go on like that. But when they've personally witnessed beauty and are absolutely certain they can reach it, they unleash a powerful drive to act.

"Is this where you learned all those skills?"

"That's right!"

Chtholly said seriously, "Aiseya is on another airship, so it's not easy to call her over directly. But it's not a big problem. Tomorrow, the three of us can go online together. Although the internet fee is a bit expensive, I've heard that if we go ashore to dig for some treasure in the future, we can redeem our lifespans."

"But we..."

Nephren's eyes dimmed slightly. No golden fairy had ever lived past twenty. Even someone like Chtholly was considered long-lived.

"It's okay! The boss said I can live to be eighty! Nephren won't be any worse off than me. Boss~ Boss~"

"What are you doing?"

"Can you tell me how long Nephren can live?"

"eight…"

Liu Yuan was about to say eighty years old, but immediately changed his mind: "Eighty-nine years old, I'll live longer than you."

"Wow! Why is this happening? It's not fair!!"

Liu Yuan calmly replied, "Because she doesn't fight as fiercely as you do, and she uses her brain, so she survives longer than you."

"I see... By the way, boss, if someone is seriously injured, is there any way to cure them?"

Liu Yuan pointed to the computer and said, "Come on! Finish the game you're playing, Legend of Sword and Fairy. Many healing items can cure serious injuries, and some can even cure death."

"understood."

"If there are no problems, I'll be going now~"

After seeing that Chtholly and Nephren were both alright, Liu Yuan left immediately.

Chtholly then smiled at Nephren and said, "How about that? I didn't lie to you, did I? As long as we become stronger, strong enough that we can kill all the beasts without self-destructing, we can live to be seventy or eighty years old and become old ladies."

Nephren was moved. No one wants to die, not even the Golden Fairy, used as a weapon. Having witnessed some of the world's beauty, she longed to live. If she could both fulfill her mission and survive…

Nephren's gaze hardened: "Understood, let's begin!"

She also began her own journey in the world of Chinese Paladin, and the two of them were essentially just surfing the internet on a shoestring budget. However, Nephren was a little smarter than Chtholly; she did some calculations based on her remaining lifespan and the spending levels at the internet cafe.

According to Chtholly, she had only been using the internet there for a few days, but she never expected to become so strong. And after confirming there was absolutely no danger, she decided...

Bring the three of them in.

As for why she didn't bring William along? Chtholly had her own ulterior motives. She wanted to learn from Zhao Ling'er, and from time to time, she would ask other people in the internet cafe who had partners for advice on how to win their hearts.

Finally, she launched a full-scale romantic offensive against William!
