I'm just an internet cafe owner

ACE ignored Fujimaru Kaori and continued fighting. Once, twice, three times, as the number of times increased, he figured out the attack logic of the Ominous Demon.

"We can win!"

Seeing the Ominous Demon easily take down less than half its health bar, ACE felt victory was his. But then, when he saw the Ominous Demon leap into the air, preparing to unleash its hammer attack, he gave up the fight.

"hateful!"

He had already used all his strength, but so far he had only managed to take down half of the enemy's health, which made ACE doubt whether he could defeat this enemy.

"Uncle, do you like using a shield?"

Hearing the CIA's question, he nodded. Then Natsuki Subaru continued, "So, sir, have you been studying in the Cave of Knowledge?"

"Isn't that supposed to teach the most basic combat skills? I didn't go."

"I knew it..."

As a veteran character in the internet cafe scene, Natsuki Subaru has seen many newbies take the wrong path in the early stages. It's fine if skilled players who fully utilize their own data in Real Mode don't bother with him, but for those like him who can only play the game mode at the beginning and don't have many special abilities, they'll really die if they don't learn from him.

Putting everything else aside, just take executions and parries. The techniques he uses now are incredibly skillful, but without learning them, even someone like Minato Namikaze, who has experienced countless battles, might be defeated. However, Minato is a ninjutsu practitioner, but even so, he still dutifully learned parries.

In his words, it's always good to have more skills, and you never know when you might need to use this parry.

But the ACE in front of him hadn't even learned the most basic parries and executions, skills that every Faded One, or rather every Souls-type player, should know. While you could probably beat the game without them, look at Minato Namikaze; he almost never used his ninjutsu to train, and ended up stuck on Valkyries just like him. And he was stuck for even longer than Minato.

"Parry? Execution?"

ACE quickly realized that the Cave of Knowledge hadn't taught him basic combat skills at all. Or rather, these combat skills were just the basic combat skills of this world, not the ones he understood.

With Subaru's help, he returned to the Cave of Knowledge and began learning basic skills from scratch.

According to the tutorial and through his own experience, the skill was very simple, but it was precisely because it was so simple that he realized his previous ideas were completely wrong.

"Parry...loss of balance, and...magic?"

ACE witnessed a power far exceeding that of Terra, and at that moment he fully understood Jibril's opening introduction.

He already possessed extremely rich combat experience, and after mastering these techniques, he only had to restart twice to figure out the Ominous Demon's skills before defeating him.

However, before he knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Just as he was about to continue his recommendations, Natsuki Subaru patted him on the shoulder.

"what happened?"

He had a very good impression of Subaru Natsuki. If Subaru hadn't reminded him, he might still be fighting that big guy.

"Want to play a game of Red Alert?"

"Red Alert?"

Subaru Natsuki introduced him to the game Red Alert and explained the situation at the internet cafe. During the last hour of each day, people interested in real-time strategy games would play one or two rounds of Red Alert together.

People usually choose a small plot of land, and if they have a lot of time left, they might even consider a snowy battle or a big battle in the Arctic Circle.

As Natsuki Subaru was introducing himself, Fujimaru Kaori, standing behind them, couldn't help but complain, "Subaru, promise me you won't bully the newbies! Newbies playing this game are just getting wrecked by us, aren't they?"

With the big

As technology advances, everyone is moving from basic game modes to a more realistic one. Realistic mode isn't about stat-boosting tanks; soldiers have their own thoughts, and winning requires comprehensive capabilities.

Although it's very difficult to learn, people in the world of Rick love it. Currently, the player with the highest win rate in this mode is Shubi. Apart from losing a few 1v1 matches against Rick in the early stages, she has never lost. In terms of Red Alert, Shubi is a living legend.

"And can it also command wars?"

ACE was somewhat surprised. He thought that improving his strength through personal combat was already quite remarkable, but he didn't expect that he could do something else.

"If I could learn these..."

ACE has her own plans. Amiya is going to lead the Rhodes Island operators to rescue the Doctor. If she can also learn some useful knowledge, will she be able to play an unexpected role?

Having thought of all this, ACE took action, but after playing for a while, he realized he had been naive. To accommodate newbies, Natsuki Subaru opened a bot room, which resulted in his oil field and base being stolen by someone named 08, who even had his mining trucks mining his diamond mine right in front of him.

The internet cafe closed, and even after it closed, ACE still hadn't recovered from Red Alert.

He had assumed that as a senior, experienced operator, he wouldn't be too embarrassed even as a newcomer. It wasn't until he saw the tanks and the soldiers wielding heavy machine guns that he realized how naive he had been.

When he was giving orders, he calculated that the soldiers' machine guns alone could give him a hard time, and the tanks' thick cannons made him even more nervous.

According to his calculations, any slightly experienced sorcerer could dismantle this piece of metal. But here's the problem: he observed that tank attacks were always coordinated, sometimes involving infantry, tanks, air troops, and even raiding vehicles operating simultaneously.

It felt like various operators were working together, except they were using machines, while we were using our own bodies.

So here's the question: In Terra, could we have combined arms operations like in Red Alert, with infantry, tanks, and air units?

However, no one can answer this question today, because the internet cafe closed down and he returned to Rhodes Island.

Back on Rhodes Island, ACE was still reeling from the shock of what he saw in the internet cafe.

"ACE? What are you thinking?"

Huang, who had just finished training in the corridor, saw ACE standing there in a daze and waved to him: "Are you thinking about how to save the Doctor right now? It's okay! Our team will work together! We'll take out all the enemies."

"Kill them all?"

ACE was still reminiscing about everything that had happened that day, especially the firearms used by the soldiers in Red Alert. He was very interested, but strangely, when he asked the extra game assistance system in his body, the system said that gunpowder could not be made in his world, but it could be bought in other worlds.

So he posted a request for help in the player shop. He estimated the price of guns in Terra World and offered a bounty of 500,000 LMD for a heavy machine gun in the player shop. Shortly after he posted the bounty, Shubi completed the bounty and sent him a private message.

"You can get firearms from the Resident Evil series of games. Can I use this money to make some custom firearms for you?"

While Shubi and Riku were scavenging for trash all over the world, Shubi was also keeping an eye on the player shop for any commissions. She was most happy to take on commissions like these for firearms, trading equipment made from scrap metal that Liu Yuan wouldn't even accept with people from other worlds for a little money—a huge profit.

Chapter Ninety-Eight Rainbow Six

“ACE has been acting all mysterious lately, Scout, do you know what’s going on?”

Inside the training room, Huang looked at ACE, who was deep in thought in the corner, and asked Scout, who was standing beside her with his face covered. They were all elite operators who often cooperated in battles. This was the first time Huang had seen ACE with such an expression in all this time.

When she asked in a low voice, ACE stood up and walked over.

"Um, this, ACE, I..."

Huang's expression froze. She wasn't gossiping behind someone's back; she was just worried because ACE seemed a bit absent-minded lately. But she couldn't ask directly, so she could only ask Scout.

"Everyone, you can continue training. I have something to do."

"that…"

Just as Huang was about to ask if he needed help, ACE's figure had already disappeared.

Scout, who was standing nearby, picked up his rifle and carefully maintained it while whispering, "Don't worry about that guy. Maybe he's just having his eye on some girl and is overthinking things."

Huang sighed: "If that's the case, then I won't worry, but..."

"No buts, get ready, we'll practice together in a bit!"

"Hehe, come on then."

Although the two have different strengths, a qualified operator must learn to face any situation, including things like being face-to-face with a melee operator.

Does ACE have something on his mind? Yes, his original mission was only one: to protect Rhodes Island and train his team members to maintain their energy before the mission to save the Doctor began.

But now, he needs to find a way to make money. There's no other way; internet fees at internet cafes are too expensive. One or two days is fine, but after a week, he can't keep up.

ACE couldn't hold on, but Liu Yuan was overjoyed. As the number of employees increased month by month, his income also multiplied. Now he has more than 100,000 yuan in his hands.

.

While the variety of games available isn't extensive, the range of games covered is quite broad.

Elden Ring, Resident Evil, Minecraft, Red Alert, and the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. Each game has a different focus, and different players can gain different experiences from different games.

However, Liu Yuan still felt something was missing. After thinking for a long time, he realized that FPS games were missing.

Previously, Liu Yuan worried about whether anyone would play his FPS game, but after ACE arrived, he started to really focus on it. His intuition told him that as long as he released an FPS game, ACE would definitely bring him customers.

If there are customers, then spending money is a huge profit, so that's the case. And now, the customers in internet cafes all have their own preferred games. If you add games that require a lot of time and energy, fewer people will play them.

However, if it had a PvP mode like Red Alert, its popularity would increase significantly. The PvP sessions should be short and fast-paced. There should also be appropriate PvP opportunities for players to practice outside of PvP, and a wider variety of weapons would be available.

Liu Yuan had already started browsing various FPS games, including CS, CF, Call of Duty, and the Battlefield series. After much deliberation, he finally settled on two games: Battlefield and Rainbow Six Siege.

The battlefield offers a wide variety of weapons, and the medical kits are incredibly effective, making them perfect for training soldiers. Rainbow Six, however, is more geared towards 'urban warfare,' aiming to complete missions quickly in small-scale operations.

The two are not far apart in terms of technological level; they just have completely different areas of expertise.

After carefully reviewing the descriptions of the two games, Liu Yuan decided to choose Rainbow Six Siege.

Battlefield has a fatal flaw: many battles take a long time, potentially lasting more than an hour. But in Rainbow Six Siege, PvP battles, whether defending or advancing, are very short.

Because it's a drill with a time limit, the attacking side generally fails if they don't complete the mission within ten minutes. The game also features a rich variety of weapons and items, and the technology is decent. Whether you've played Resident Evil before or are a first-timer, it's a great game for quickly acquiring equipment and items.

Because… the actual difficulty of this game is very short, and if you were to simply use your own stats, many people could easily beat it. Therefore, the main purpose of this game is not PvE but PvP.

After deciding on the game, Liu Yuan placed an order, and Rainbow Six Siege was added to all his computers.

While selling Rainbow Six Siege for 80,000, Liu Yuan also added a few more machines. Now he has a stable 50 machines, and he can get an average of 30 to 40 customers a day. It depends on whether Rick can find any treasure. If he can, he'll get more; if not, he'll get fewer.

Just then, ACE walked into the internet cafe. The moment he saw him, Liu Yuan immediately said, "Sir, this internet cafe has a new game called Rainbow Six Siege. I think this game is perfect for you. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Give it a try?"

"After turning on your computer, you can watch the video introduction and specific gameplay content of this game. I believe you will like it."

"Really? Let me check in a bit."

ACE expertly turned on the computer, got into position, and opened it. He didn't immediately turn on the Elden Ring, but instead watched a video introduction to Rainbow Six Siege.

The moment he saw it, his eyes were glued to it. The Elden Ring trains warriors, Cataclysmic warriors. These warriors are incredibly strong, but their development takes too long and is heavily reliant on innate talent.

He felt he lacked talent and could only learn the basics, so under Subaru Natsuki's tutelage, he constantly skipped classes and collected items in order to quickly equip himself.

But after watching Rainbow Six Siege, he knew he had to play this game. Special operations, firearms, high technology—everything seemed tailor-made for his squad, and even for Rhodes Island's combat system.

Rhodes Island's combat model involves operators forming squads to conduct infiltration operations. After all, Rhodes Island is just a pharmaceutical company and has no right to launch large-scale battles. The command style like Red Alert might suit former Doctors, but it's not suitable for warriors like them.

But Rainbow Six Siege is different. The videos show them quickly ascending buildings, rapidly storming in, and infiltrating and demolishing key targets in a short time. They swiftly eliminate all combat personnel in an entire building, combined with the use of firearms and those amazing gadgets.

Ace's intuition told him that bringing Rhodes Island operators would significantly boost the island's combat capabilities. Lost weapons? Technology leaked? No need to worry. Rhodes Island has its own researchers; there's no need for patience. He had already tested the firearms manufactured by Shubi, and they were completely impossible to replicate.

Putting everything else aside, just take gunpowder for example. Terra simply can't make it. Even though Shubi provided the formula, when he asked the technical department, they clearly stated that it couldn't be manufactured. They could only make similar bullets using Originium, but those bullets would have much less lethality and a shorter effective range, to the point that even the Guards could cut them down. They were completely incomparable to hitting an enemy from tens or even hundreds of meters away with a headshot, as seen in Resident Evil.

Chapter 99 ACE to Take on Rhodes Island One-on-One

The emergence of Rainbow Six Siege has given internet cafe customers another leisure option.

"Oh my god! It's an FPS!"

Subaru? How about a game?
