I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Absolutely! Let's go!"

Subaru Natsuki and Kaori Fujimaru are both young people and have experience with FPS games, so Rainbow Six Siege is an option.

At that moment, the two of them were incredibly excited.

"Hey sir, wanna play a few rounds?"

ACE thought about it and agreed.

Rainbow Six Siege is very easy to pick up, especially for those with ample combat experience; it's practically a game. Furthermore, the game features a realistic mode that fully integrates your own physical data, making the controls incredibly smooth.

After inputting their physical data, players can freely choose their weapon and item combinations. There are no special operator settings; as long as you can remember them, no one will stop you from carrying a hundred grenades.

However, the system still provides standard equipment for each character. For example, Subaru Natsuki, being smaller in stature, primarily carries assault rifles or submachine guns. ACE, skilled with shields, is recommended to use a shotgun and shield combination.

Of course, if ACE is ruthless enough, he can hold a shield and snipe. However, this style of play is only good for bullying people with no combat experience. Inside the internet cafe, everyone except ACE has considerable combat experience.

Especially Hugh, who immediately picked up a pistol and a sniper rifle upon entering the game. Defenders set up on rooftops and headshot everyone they encountered. Attackers, wielding dual pistols, seemed to be equipped with cameras; they were instantly headshot the moment they showed their faces, and even a glimpse of their feet was accurately hit.

And so, ACE's day passed. He played a few new games with everyone in the morning. Because Shubi always played Rainbow Six Siege, he was constantly PvP against Shubi. His teammates changed wave after wave, but his opponent was always Shubi.

This was intentional on his part. Hughie was too strong, so strong that as long as he figured out her attack methods in alleyway combat, he could greatly improve his own strength and vigilance.

In reality, encountering such an enemy might not be enough even with a hundred lives. But in a game, if your physical attributes are perfectly matched and the building's hardness remains unchanged, and the opponent displays superhuman reaction speed and aiming ability, then you can get extremely valuable training.

The training gained from this game will also benefit ACE's physique and training.

After closing today, ACE went directly to Amiya.

Amiya!

"ACE? What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you. It's like this, a few days ago I..."

ACE told Amiya everything about his experience. Paying for internet access? 10,000 LMD per hour? This price is enough for Rhodes Island to provide internet access for one or two people, but it's clearly unrealistic to provide it for all operators.

"Is that so? ACE, how much do you think their strength will improve if you send all the participating operators to that internet cafe for ten days?"

After thinking for a long time, ACE gave a rough estimate: "The strength of the elite operators can be at least doubled, while it's hard to estimate the strength of the other operators. The people there are too strong. If you don't have a certain amount of combat experience, you won't gain anything."

"fine…"

Amiya started calculating the cost. With ten days left, and assuming each entry was once every twelve hours for twelve minutes, it would cost an average of 25 LMD per person per day.

As Rhodes Island's top operator, ACE's strength is recognized by everyone. However, today, ten days before the start of the plan to save the Doctor, ACE has summoned all the elite operators.

He has already reported the internet cafe situation to Amiya, and Amiya believes him, but there's a very serious problem. Rhodes Island is broke.

One operator costs 250,000 LMD per day. There are 15 elite operators alone, and the rest of the combat operators number over a hundred. Even without considering that some operators have extremely strong Originium Memory and don't need any training, let's calculate based on training 100 people. Sending them all in would cost 25 million LMD per day, and 200 million LMD in ten days.

Rhodes Island does have some money now, but it's all allocated to medical care; throwing it all in wouldn't be sustainable. Making operators pay for their own medical expenses isn't just something Amiya said lightly. There are very few operators on Rhodes Island now richer than Ace.

and many more?

Amiya suddenly had an idea.

While not all operators can be sent, those with sufficient teaching experience can go in to learn and then bring back what they've learned. If done this way, Rhodes Island's cash flow could support five operators.

ACE saw through Amiya's thoughts and said directly, "Don't worry about me, I have my own goals there."

"Thank you."

ACE simply shook his head and didn't say anything more.

As for whether the internet cafe was real or fake, Amiya neither questioned nor verified it, because ACE had no reason to deceive her, especially since ACE had also shown the firearms he bought from Shubi.

Once the rotary machine gun, a weapon only found in Laterano, appeared in ACE's hands, she could confirm that these things were real.

"Dobermann, Jang, and Logos, call them over. I have plans for the other two. Also, how about you and the elite operators do a drill? The drill will follow the Rainbow Six Siege model you mentioned. You take a few people to defend, and the elites will launch the final attack. Show them the knowledge and strength you've learned."

Simply put, it's not very meaningful, and it might not even impress them much. But what if ACE demonstrates it himself? Especially after preventing ACE from using Originium memories and even abandoning his shield and hammer, if he can demonstrate overwhelming strength, it will prove the importance of this learning.

As for Kal'tsit? No rush.

The remaining two spots were reserved for herself and Kal'tsit. She had a vague feeling that the Mind Space Internet Cafe might be an opportunity for their medical technology to advance.

At the same time, the elite operators received a notification from Amiya.

Huang asked incredulously, "What? We're fighting ACE? He doesn't use Originium memories, shields, or weapons. How can we win?"

Scout calmly said, "Something must have happened. Be careful in this exercise. Rosemary, Logos, and Misery have all been allowed to participate. Are they testing something?"

Rosemary approached, her voice weak as she asked, "Can I back out? I'm scared..."

"unnecessary!"

ACE stepped forward at this moment. He looked at Rosemary and said gently, "I know your strength. You can all come at me together without holding back."

All told, ACE only spent a little over a week in the internet cafe, but in that week he discovered how much his skills had changed. That one week alone gave him a plethora of trump cards to use.

Legendary ashes and magic, some technology from Red Alert, weapons and items from Rainbow Six Siege, and sword-wielding techniques and Shu Mountain martial arts from Legend of Sword and Fairy.

One or two of these might not make much of a difference, so it's hard to say what might happen when all of them are combined together.

Chapter 100: Branch Store Preparations Underway

ACE lost, which was inevitable. As a heavy-armored operator, his strength is top-notch, but even he was bound to lose when facing so many elite operators at the same time.

However, ACE displayed astonishing changes in this battle: two enemies appearing simultaneously, attacks with firearms in urban warfare, and long-range mortar strikes. Most importantly, these weapons were not powered by Originium; even ordinary people without any Originium talent could use them. Furthermore, ACE demonstrated shield parrying and magic, further solidifying Amiya's resolve.

Rhodes Island has over a hundred operators, all of whom Amiya trusts implicitly. Those operators with money are directly invited by ACE, while Amiya will kindly provide some resources to those without money to help them with their studies for a few days.

With the promotion of ACE on Rhodes Island, more and more customers came to the internet cafe, and the earliest Elden Ring in the game even sold 100 copies.

New store manager task: Successfully sell 100 copies of a certain game.

Status: Completed

Mission Reward: Anywhere Door

Guests can use the Anywhere Door to travel to the corresponding world for sightseeing if invited by someone from this world.

Congratulations, boss, you've achieved the hidden achievement of 100 customers online every day! The internet cafe will now offer two discounted games every 30 days, so please remember to check back regularly.

Generate new task: Daily sales of 20

Reward: Unlock a private internet cafe room

"This mission is great!"

Liu Yuan checked the new task requirements. Currently, the internet cafe has a total of one hundred customers, with a stable daily customer base of around eighty. The average daily spending is 800 yuan. To reach the sales target of 20 yuan, at least two hundred and fifty people need to be online every day.

"The task ahead is arduous and the road is long!"

"Boss, what's wrong?"

At the front desk, Mu Geng was idly chewing gum, her head resting on the table, when Liu Yuan's sudden remark, "The road ahead is long and arduous," gave her a bad feeling.

"It's nothing, Kisara! I'm giving you a tough task."

"???"

Mu had a bad feeling.

"I'm opening a branch here..."

"Boss!!!"

Kisara lunged forward and grabbed Liu Yuan's arm: "Boss! Don't abandon me! I'm hardworking and capable. Take me with you when you open a branch, okay?"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Liu Yuan's head. Hardworking and enduring hardship? He spends his days lying around doing nothing and his nights playing games behind closed doors. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with being hardworking and enduring hardship, right?

"You're right. I'm actually worried about leaving a lazy bum like you here. Fine, I'll leave this place to Xiao Ji."

"Yeah~"

Kisara initially thought Liu Yuan was going to abandon her, but now it seems that Liu Yuan has accepted her and recognized her abilities.

In reality, Liu Yuan's thoughts were completely opposite to Mu Geng's. He was afraid that Mu Geng would slack off every day, affecting the internet cafe's revenue. He didn't want to open a branch and then have the main store's sales drop immediately afterward; otherwise, he would have nowhere to turn for help.

As for the old store, Liu Yuan will still be in charge of managing it. He will just need to hire someone to manage the new store. However, since the new store has only been open for a few months, he will guide the new person to familiarize themselves with the work process.

In that case, the recruitment requirements need to be higher, and the level of loyalty also needs to be higher. After sending these requirements to the system, the system asked Liu Yuan for some more detailed information.

"Gender? Female! But not big here and there, I'm afraid I can't control myself. Work ability must be strong enough, focus enough, and able to bring in enough revenue. Yes! No white hair! No big breasts! Female gender, good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and has a good memory."

Liu Yuan knew his own fantasies all too well. If it were a double orgasm, he might not be the shop manager, but instead be in jail playing with Wu Qian. Bai Mao was the same way; if Bai Mao had a double orgasm, it would be dancing on his fantasies.

However, Liu Yuan didn't want his hobbies to affect his income. He was actually hoping the internet cafe would make more money so he could unlock more games, anime, novels, and movies.

Isn't this thing more practical than a woman?

In this respect, Neferito definitely shares the same views as Liu Yuan. Ever since she learned the Shu Mountain martial arts and sword control techniques, she has lost all interest in dating. Instead, she has been researching how to make her sword even sharper.

Soon, Liu Yuan received a notification from the system.

"Six suitable candidates have been identified, one of whom has a special request. Should we hire this employee?"

Liu Yuan checked the people selected by the system; there were six in total, but…

"System, didn't I say I didn't want a big one?"

"It's already very small."

"... "

Liu Yuan wondered if the system's evaluation criteria were somewhat different from his own. However, since the system had already made its choice, Liu Yuan could only choose one from here.

That won't do. Few of the saintesses are decent people. Besides, if she knew I wasn't a god, she probably wouldn't be motivated to work.

That won't do either, they're minors. Our store refuses to hire any underage employees.

Hmm, this is acceptable? But her requirements seem a bit unusual.

"Save my world..."

"System, this person is interesting..."

The others' requests were nothing more than wanting to see the gods, desire invincible power, or simply wish for a more interesting life. If Liu Yuan were simply choosing someone from these mundane wishes to be his subordinate, he would definitely choose based on looks. But among these six, one person actually wanted to save the world…

"System, I want this person. What is her wish?"

"I am a reliable system, and I will fulfill her wish. In return... she will owe this system 3000 billion yuan. Please work hard to make money so she can repay the debt as soon as possible."

Unlike Jibril's debts, which stemmed from her own actions, this girl's debts will be systematically recorded, and as an employee recruited by the branch manager, she will receive a 1% share of the net profit.
