I'm just an internet cafe owner

She almost instinctively ran away from where she stood, leaving both Josuke Higashikata and Okuyasu Nijimura stunned.

"Yoshida!!"

With a scream, Yoshida Saki exploded on the spot.

At the moment of the explosion, Yoshida Saki felt a pain that seemed to reach her very soul, but she didn't know why.

When she realized that her newly acquainted 'friend' was not in danger, she felt relieved.

She thought she was going to die, but then she suddenly realized that she had returned to Josuke Higashikata and Okuyasu Nijimura's side once again.

"Damn it!" Josuke Higashikata had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He wanted to go forward, but his intuition stopped him.

Hearing Josuke Higashikata's words and seeing his expression, Saki Yoshida panicked a little.

"What's going on? Wasn't I already dead? Could this be a Stand attack?"

Were we attacked? When and what kind of attack? Wait a minute?

Yoshida Saki quickly recalled her experiences. As the countdown within her grew louder, she charged forward once more, this time facing Kira Yoshikage. Even if it meant exploding, she would drag Kira Yoshikage to hell. She strode forward, counting the ticking sounds within her body. On the thirty-ninth time, her body exploded once more.

The pain caused Yoshida Saki to kneel on the ground once again.

"call."

"Yoshida? Are you alright?"

The sudden, painful breathing of the person beside him made Josuke Higashikata stop what he was doing and turn his attention to his teammates. However, Saki Yoshida didn't have time to think too much; she keenly noticed that the second explosion seemed to have occurred earlier than the first.

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong. I keep going back to previous times, and then my body explodes.

Connecting these clues reveals that Yoshikage Kira deliberately allowed himself to be hit by a Stand attack that resembled time reversal, causing him to detonate a bomb near his comrades and kill them. But what was the timeframe for this? How was it triggered? And how can it be countered?

Her thoughts were in turmoil, but hearing the concerned voices around her, she knew she had to leave this place quickly.

"I have a bomb on me, don't come near me!"

Yoshida Saki broke away from the group once again, and as the sounds inside her grew louder, her body exploded once more.

This time she was certain that the explosion time had indeed been brought forward. This time, the count was 37.

"In other words, I am certain to die this time, after 35 counts."

At this moment, Yoshida Saki felt as if time had stood still. Her mind was racing, trying to figure out what to do. If she kept running away like this, she would eventually explode in the moment of reincarnation, killing her companions.

Crazy Diamond can indeed piece her body back together the instant she explodes, but what if the explosion isn't a true physical explosion, but just a time loop effect? ​​Even if she's pieced back together, the already triggered loop might not be able to be stopped.

Furthermore, his chances were running out. Counting down from one to two, he only had 12 chances left, and the last few were no longer even considered chances, because getting up would result in an explosion.

Then I only have a maximum of six chances to reincarnate.

What should she do? She panicked. But then she suddenly noticed a buff icon appearing on her character's status.

buff...buff?

She glanced at the milk in her character's inventory; the guide had mentioned milk as an item. Milk could be used to make food, bottled milk, and also to remove buffs.

According to the guide, this buff removal skill can remove all buffs.

While calculating the numbers, she took out a bucket of milk and gulped it down. According to the guide, the buff would only be removed if the entire bucket of milk was drunk.

After swallowing a bucket of milk, the buff from the Assassin Queen was instantly removed. Yoshida Saki didn't hesitate and charged forward. Kira Yoshikage smiled at Yoshida Saki's actions.

In the first two instances, Yoshida Saki could have touched herself before she was detonated, but now she can't. She will explode five steps away from herself, at which point time will start looping again.

The outcome is now decided; Yoshida Saki and Higashikata Josuke have no chance of winning.

Endless Reincarnation can imbue a target with 30 reincarnations, returning them to their state one minute prior. The first reincarnation lasts for 30 seconds, decreasing by one second with each subsequent reincarnation.

A countdown will appear inside the body of someone who has been hit by a Stand, and the countdown will accelerate as time goes by.

The skill has a very short range; you can only use the substitution technique when the opponent is within five meters of you. After using the substitution technique, the substitution technique cannot perform any attacks.

However, if the victim doesn't react in the first few loops, the enemy in the next loop will get closer and closer to death. There are only two ways to deactivate the substitute: the first is to be killed by an explosion at the end of the loop; the second is to end the loop early if all targets die; and the third is that the substitute is automatically deactivated before the first two events are triggered.

This ability has virtually no weaknesses; unless it encounters a Stand like Jotaro Kujo's that can stop time, it is invincible.

However, Yoshida Saki came up with a fourth solution: drinking a bucket of milk to remove the effect, because Kira Yoshikage's Stand ability was judged as a buff.

Chapter 128 True Transformation

"The first bomb!"

The explosion appeared instantly in front of Yoshida Saki, but this time he was prepared. Two round stones appeared before him the instant the explosion occurred, and he simultaneously raised his shield.

The shockwave from the explosion caused Yoshida Saki to stagger, and half of her right braid was blown off by the shockwave.

Hearing the shield

The instant the sound of a block rang out, Yoshida Saki charged forward, shield in hand and diamond sword in hand. In the Minecraft world, weapons don't have a "white goes in, red comes out" dynamic; it's all about smashing.

At this moment, Yoshikage Kira also controlled his Stand to launch a series of attacks on Saki Yoshida. His Stand was not a Stand that focused on strength and speed, but when fear reached its limit, the Stand could unleash superhuman power.

But in that instant, he heard a sound like breaking glass, and Yoshida Saki, who was in front of him, disappeared and suddenly reappeared behind him.

Ender Pearls were her treasures, which she had saved to craft Eyes of Ender to challenge the Ender Dragon. Although there weren't many of them, they proved to be of unexpected use at this crucial moment.

According to Liu Yuan's strategy guide, attacking vital points will cause multiplied damage. And what are the vital points for humans? The head, of course. Although she's much shorter than Yoshikage Kira, she can jump.

A jump headshot attack that instantly triggers a critical hit.

But in that instant, Yoshikage Kira used the first bomb once again, this time it was his hair, the hair that had just been blown off.

Yoshikage Kira was knocked unconscious by Saki Yoshida hitting her on the head with a diamond sword. After all, this was her first battle in reality, and she couldn't bring herself to kill anyone. Knocking out her enemy was the most ruthless thing she could do.

However, the explosion was already unstoppable, because in the instant before losing consciousness, the Killer Queen pressed the detonation button.

"Bombard space!"

Nijimura Okuyasu, controlling his Stand, had already arrived, but he was ultimately a step too late. The bombardment only reduced some of the explosive damage, and the remaining blast directly hit Yoshida Saki's body.

However, the explosion also slammed Yoshida Saki against the wall, causing severe internal injuries.

Just as he coughed up a mouthful of blood, Josuke Higashikata arrived.

"Dulala lala!!"

The previous series of actions happened too fast, and Josuke Higashikata's Crazy Diamond attack range was too short, but fortunately he arrived not too late. Under the crazy punches of Crazy Diamond, Saki Yoshida's body recovered instantly.

Josuke Higashikata contacted Jotaro Kujo, and within minutes, the SPW Foundation members kidnapped the completely unconscious Yoshikage Kira.

Stands are difficult to control, so to prevent Yoshikage Kira from waking up, his companions injected him with enough anesthetic to keep him unconscious for seven days and seven nights. Stand users' Stands are very powerful, but their physical bodies are much weaker than their Stands, and their bodies can be resistant to various types of anesthesia.

"Phew, it's over."

Just as Yoshida Saki was about to continue using the items in Minecraft, she noticed that the character system was gone, along with a notification.

"Experience complete~ Please complete the game as soon as possible to experience the full version of the character template~"

"Hey hey hey?"

Yoshida Saki was devastated. She had thought she could make some money using the abilities of her Minecraft characters, but now it seemed like that was no longer an option.

Just as she was about to leave, Josuke Higashikata called her back.

"Yoshida-kun."

"what happened?"

"The SPW Foundation has something to discuss with you..."

Specifically, the SPW Foundation has issued an arrest warrant for Yoshikage Kira. Anyone who provides clues about Yoshikage Kira will receive a reward of approximately 50,000 yen, and anyone who provides crucial clues will receive a reward of 500,000 yen.

While Josuke Higashikata and his companions deserve credit for personally capturing Yoshikage Kira, the SPW Foundation's higher-ups, after deliberation, decided to award Saki Yoshida a reward of five million yen. The contact also assured him not to worry about Josuke Higashikata and Okuyasu Nijimura, as their rewards would be paid separately.

This number made Yoshida Saki swallow hard: "So much money? Can I really afford it?"

"Of course you can, you deserve it."

"Thank you, thank you so much, you've been a great help, but..."

Yoshida Saki was conflicted. She thought that keeping two-thirds of the money would be enough for her to go online for a long time, and she wanted to use the rest to help with household expenses. But if she took the money back directly, her parents would definitely misunderstand.

She explained her ideas to the SPW contact person, who contacted senior management and said with a smile, "We would be happy to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with you. We will communicate with your parents to ensure your satisfaction. However, we need your cooperation in coming with us."

"Um, could you wait a moment?"

Okay~

Yoshida Saki did not follow immediately, but returned to Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu and bowed to them.

"Thank you for the previous assistance."

"No no no!"

The two waved their hands simultaneously and said one after the other, "We only treated you; we didn't do anything else."

"That's right, that's right, you're the one who deserves all the credit here."

Yoshida Saki then took out her phone: "Could we exchange contact information? I'd like to treat you to a meal sometime."

"Hey?"

"what?"

The two men blushed instantly at being approached so readily by the girl. Despite their usual flirtatious manner, they were both incredibly timid when it came to real situations. Especially being treated to dinner by a girl—it just sounded a bit strange.

After exchanging contact information, Yoshida Saki left with the SPW Foundation.

The windfall didn't significantly change her mindset; in fact, it brought a sense of relief. At the same time, she was carefully calculating how long the money would last.

After deducting what was given to the family, if the rest were saved...

If you use it sparingly, you can play in an internet cafe for more than a year. If you splurge a little in between, such as using TT for cross-world communication or buying some snacks, it might not even last a year.

"It's a bottomless pit..."

At that moment, Yoshida Saki realized just how expensive internet cafes really were. But when she thought about how she could use Minecraft items in real life, and how she might have died inexplicably while walking down the street without them, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

This made her realize that having real strength might be more important than being good-looking or rich. And that internet cafe was a place that could provide her with power, a place with endless power.

Yes, after seeing the end of the practical application and that completing the game would grant permanent abilities, she became even more determined to finish the game. A game? No, she felt it was no longer just a game, but a trial.

Being broke and needing to earn money to ensure you can spend a lot of time online is a test, and completing a game is also a test.

At this moment, Yoshida Saki has grown up.

The SPW Foundation is also very efficient. The contact first had a makeup artist and a hairdresser from the foundation do a good job of dressing up Yoshida Saki. Crazy Diamond has the ability to restore things, but it can only restore things that still exist. For example, hair that was completely destroyed by the first bomb cannot be restored.
