I'm just an internet cafe owner

Five hundred thousand yen was an astronomical sum for Homura Akemi, and she wanted to use the money to help support her family. She planned to buy her parents some new clothes before they returned, as they hadn't had any new clothes in a long time, all for her sake.

When chatting with my parents about the past, my dad mentioned that my mom was very fashionable back then, always buying designer cosmetics and bags. My mom even joked that my dad loved playing video games and had bought a lot of model kits and figurines before she was born.

Now that she's recovered and has money, buying a gift for her parents is what she wants to do most.

As Homura Akemi boarded the plane, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "What a cruel world..."

"Yeah! By the way, boss, that black thing is so valuable."

Liu Yuan nodded: "Let me ask you a question. How much money can a manager in a normal company earn in their lifetime if they don't get fired?"

"If it's her country, considering the year, tens of millions of yen a year would be easy, right? Wait a minute?"

Mugeng wasn't stupid; she guessed what the Seed of Sorrow was when Liu Yuan said those words. Liu Yuan nodded: "Just like you thought, it's a huge win. The only downsides are the training costs and the initial psychological counseling, which will take a little time. But once you get them on board, their loyalty is extremely high! And don't think they're having a hard time; they might have an easier time than you in their free time."

"I'm so envious! But boss, aren't you going to tell me the truth?"

Liu Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "No need, don't you think waiting..."

"Once the number of girls reaches a certain point and they recover, wouldn't it be most fun for them to go back and get revenge on Kyubey during their holidays?"

Kisara: "Include me in the melon-eating crowd."

Yuna Takashima, who was standing nearby, also raised her hand: "I want to see too."

Chapter 135 The True Way to Defeat the Imitation Tear

The Minecraft world did indeed bring about earth-shattering changes for Saki Yoshida and Homura Akemi, but gradually the two also realized that relying solely on the power of Minecraft seemed a bit insufficient.

That's right, the Minecraft world is amazing. If you add the Endless Greed or Titan mod, the power will soar to a terrifying level.

But here's the problem: all of this takes a very long time. During this period, they could easily play Minecraft while trying other games. It's just that deciding which games to play has left them deep in thought.

The two of them discussed it and decided they needed to ask others for advice. They got up and noticed that Tanjiro Kamado wasn't playing games, so Homura Akemi asked him.

"Kamado-senpai, do you have any recommendations for becoming stronger?"

"Huh? A game? Let me think about it!"

Tanjiro wasn't just sitting around; he was exchanging experiences with Minato Namikaze through TT. Now, as soon as someone asked him a question, he turned his attention to it.

After thinking for a long time, he recommended: "If you want firearms, you can play Rainbow Six Siege and Resident Evil. Among them, Resident Evil is the fastest way to get weapons. You can get a sniper rifle and assault rifle directly by playing the Chris route in Rainbow Six Siege. If you want to improve your own strength, I recommend the Elden Ring, especially the Crypt Tear, which you must get."

The Imitation Teardrop has now become a standard feature for all players. Perhaps because everyone has different goals, the first game Liu Yuan recommends may not be the Elden Ring, but as each guest has a decent initial completion rate, this game is the most suitable choice when they have an improvement need.

The reason is simple: this game has an incredibly high skill ceiling. It has everything: magic, combat techniques, weapons, and equipment. There are methods for dealing with spirits, monsters, and even gods.

Whether it's hunting gods, the sword Lani used to slay gods, or the ultimate rune, all can allow one to grow to terrifying heights. Considering that everyone's talent and energy are limited, quickly completing Lani's side quest to obtain a Tear of the Imitation is definitely the best choice.

The lifelike teardrop can even reveal one's own potential and the direction one should develop in. After analysis by a group of elders, it was determined that this thing is practically a must-have item.

There was even a statement that received the most approval among those who spoke about the Elden Ring.

"This game should be called King Elden and His Bell-Ringing Tool."

That's right, only a few people actually completed the game without using the Sigil of the Tear; the rest just went into the map, rang the bell, and sat in a corner watching the big shots perform. Aside from the Valkyrie, the Sigil of the Tear practically wiped out the entire Borderlands.

Even against the Valkyrie, Liu Yuan, Fujimaru Kaori, and Shubi's clone teardrop all managed to solo kill her—that's right, the eldest brother solo killed the Valkyrie. Fujimaru Kaori, in particular, sat in the corner clapping and drinking cola.

Following everyone's advice, the two of them bought the game and prepared to start playing. However, they were lucky; Tanjiro was also playing the game and, under Minato's tutelage, knew how to quickly obtain the Imitation Teardrop. So, as a senior, he began teaching his juniors how to quickly cheat their way through the game.

If you're just aiming for the Imitation Tear, you don't need to do Lani's quest at all, because you can just run there to get the ashes after defeating General Shatterstar. However, since this whole process overlaps with Lani's side quest, you'll usually pick up the side quest first and defeat Rataen along the way.

Back when there were fewer people in internet cafes, everyone had to figure things out on their own. But as more and more people cleared the game, it became possible to call in other players to help with the Shattered Star boss.

Newcomers like Homura Akemi and Saki Yoshida simply called for help to take down Shattered Star. Then, after fighting their way to the Eternal City, they encountered the strongest boss in the entire server, the Imitation Teardrop.

Why is it considered the strongest? Because the Clone Tear can copy all of an enemy's skills, weapons, and equipment. Apart from Liu Yuan and Musang, everyone else was completely outmatched by the Clone Tear.

So far, none of the customers at the internet cafe have discovered the skipping-class strategy. Because everyone's thinking is relatively simple, and Liu Yuan doesn't pay attention since the customers don't cause problems, he hasn't really noticed how everyone beat the game. Plus, those who have managed to reach the "Tear of the Imitation" level over such a long time all have some talent, and the game mode's high-stakes players have had their IQs lowered, so almost everyone can beat it.

But today, something unexpected happened. Yoshida Saki, an ordinary girl whose combat experience is only slightly more than that of an average office worker, got stuck because of her own mistakes.

"Yan, how are you?"

"It's done! It was easy. It can't take medicine, but I can, so it was taken down quickly."

Tanjiro encouraged him from the side, "That's right! In normal game mode, the Imitation Teardrop as a boss will only mindlessly copy the few moves you can use, but it's very powerful after it's summoned."

Tanjiro recalled the scene of his battle with himself. Because it was a game mode and he couldn't carry his own weapons and items, he had a thrilling duel with himself. In the end, the battle...

Knowing that he could drink blood and had discovered the weakness of the humanoid teardrop, he killed it with a single strike and won.

But Yoshida Saki is different. She was brought along the whole way, and her equipment and tools are good, but her actual combat skills are probably no match for three wolves.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you stuck?"

"Hmm! Boss, do you have any way to easily defeat the bionic teardrop?"

"Yes, I have!"

Liu Yuan pointed at Yoshida Saki: "In the game, you just take off all your equipment, then summon three wolves and sit there watching."

"?"

"?"

"?"

Not only the three of them, but even the elf and the spider subconsciously took off their glasses.

"Boss, what did you say?"

"How can we fight like this? The opponent can copy all your attributes."

The bio-teardrop is a nightmare for many. If the enemy is strong, you can simply improve yourself. But with the bio-teardrop, if you are strong, it is strong too; if you are weak, it remains strong.

Only by conquering yourself can you conquer the android teardrop—this is a universally acknowledged truth. Although the way to overcome yourself in the game is simple, that doesn't diminish its difficulty.

Minato Namikaze, in particular, had the most difficult time in the True Difficulty mode. He had summoned both the First and Second Hokage and engaged in several thrilling battles against himself there. In the end, he only managed to defeat his opponent by breaking through his own limits during the battle and achieving the true, un-copyable Flying Thunder God technique.

"That's right! So it's very simple. Just take off all your equipment and go in. Wait for it to copy your attributes, then put your equipment back on. At this point, the avatar teardrop won't copy your attributes."

With just this one sentence, everyone understood how shameless Liu Yuan's fighting style was.

Liu Yuan continued, "Games, whether real or virtual, are part of their charm by allowing players to skip class in various ways."

Liu Yuan is a serious gamer. He usually plays a game step by step the first time he plays it, but the second time he skips classes and even uses forbidden powers.

Chapter 136 Faded Fujimaru in the Sacred Round Table Domain

The latest walkthrough for the Imitation Tear has spread among players through word of mouth, and at this moment, everyone is silent. Because everyone who plays the Imitation Tear believes it's a test of their own abilities, a challenge they must overcome to obtain the ashes that mimic the handwriting.

And that's it?

Some people even tried it on a second playthrough, and it really worked. Go in naked, wait for the other party to copy your attributes, and then put your full set of equipment back on.

This highlights the word 'shameless'.

However, Fujimaru Kaori said she didn't care about this fighting style.

Battles are a contest of strength, wisdom, and strategy. This involves wisdom and strategy; how can one be shameless?

In her room, Fujimaru Kaori was frantically chatting on TT (a Chinese instant messaging platform). She even kept expressing her opinion: "This is the real game."

"Skipping class! Skipping class is the only way! I'm definitely skipping class for the next singularity!"

"No, we should skip class after we've finished grabbing everything."

Since the burning of Humanity, Fujimaru Kaori has experienced five Singularities. It is precisely the Servants from these Singularities that have provided Chaldea's current Masters with sufficient funds to access the internet.

only…

Matthew arrived at Fujimaru Kaori's room, knocked on the door, and entered: "Senpai, the doctor said they've discovered a new anomaly, we need to prepare to leave."

"Huh? I can make money again?"

Fujimaru Kaori licked her lips, becoming somewhat excited. She snatched the Rose Emperor's sword, the Great Pirate's gun, and even Medea Lily's staff and clothes.

Why are so many Servants joining Chaldea now? It's all because they want to find an opportunity to take revenge on Fujimaru Kaori! After the discovery of the new singularity, Doctor Romani asked Matthew to subtly hint to Fujimaru Kaori to be more civilized.

"No, it's not that. The doctor said that the Heroic Spirits in this Singularity seem to be very strong, and he wants you to be careful, senior."

"It's nothing~"

Fujimaru Kaori patted her chest: "You protect Ritsuka, leave the rest to me. Let me tell you, I'm super strong right now!"

Fujimaru Kaori isn't stingy; she's dragged all her Masters to internet cafes, and even invited Romani. However, so far, Fujimaru Kaori has shown exceptional talent.

She's already cleared the Old Man's Ring on True difficulty eight times, but aside from Ryougi Mina and Matthew, the others have only barely cleared it on Normal difficulty. Her strength is on par with the original Fujimaru Kaori, but it's nowhere near her current level.

Because the current Fujimaru Kaori is the true King of Elden.

Meanwhile, the other Masters, including Matthew, possessed a modicum of rationality. They knew they couldn't just steal someone's weapon, but Fujimaru Kaori…

Well, at least he can still distinguish between teammates and enemies. Even Black Dog's gun hasn't escaped being sold so far, but his teammates' weapons have all been returned. Of course, if someone joins a little later and their weapons are sold, then it's really too late.

Fujimaru Kaori was not ashamed of this, but rather proud of it.

"Don't worry, Matthew! You and Ritsuka push forward boldly, I'll launch a sneak attack from behind. Let me grab some more weapons and equipment so we can play games online in peace for the next few years. By the way, how's your parrying technique coming along?"

"I can handle any situation skillfully now."

"That's good~ Let's go! Since the doctor told you to call me, it means the spirit transfer is about to begin."

The.

Fujimaru Kaori took Matthew's hand and strode forward.

Inside the central control room, Romani sipped his coffee and asked Leonardo da Vinci beside him, "Weren't you planning to come along? Why aren't you going?"

Da Vinci, also sipping his coffee, said, "Because I have a bad feeling."

At this moment, Romani fell silent. Seeing the increasingly unruly Fujimaru Kaori appear, he said helplessly, "But I must admit that Fujimaru Kaori played a very important role."

Beating up Heroic Spirits, tearing apart Demon God Pillars. In some ways, Fujimaru Kaori's role is even greater than that of the Heroic Spirits. Even Scáthach praised her as a genius who had found her own path when she first met Fujimaru Kaori.

Geniuses are not uncommon in this world. But very few geniuses survive and find their own path.

"They're all here. Let's begin the spirit transfer."

"Ok!"

The spirit particle transfer has begun; the familiar spirit particle transfer, the familiar separation from the main force.

Looking at the surrounding Gobi Desert and the scorching sun in the sky, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but recall the days she spent adrift at sea. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew were teleported to a ship, where they met a beautiful older woman.

And what about himself? He swam in the sea for several days before encountering a living heroic spirit, which he then turned into a boat and drifted on the sea.
