I'm just an internet cafe owner

She looked at Liu Yuan in disbelief, without...

The law is time-stopped, and those who can subdue themselves in a single move during time-stop will be short of money.

"Put away that idea. This is a business. I have to provide 'products' that meet the needs of my customers in order to keep the profits. And your transformation also requires your own time and money; it's essentially an equal exchange. Besides, haven't you already experienced the effects of milk?"

Liu Yuan's words silenced 'Akatsuki Homura'. Just minutes before, her other self had said that drinking milk could remove the Soul Gem's corruption, which she hadn't believed. She didn't want to drink it; she tried to escape using time stop, but Liu Yuan caught her and forced her to drink a bucket of milk.

A whole bucket! A whole bucket! They've fed my belly so much that it smells like milk when I talk.

If time stop worked, she would definitely teach Liu Yuan a lesson. But the problem is that time stop doesn't work on him, and... this milk really does work.

She took out the Soul Gem. Previously, there was always a small spot of darkness in the very center of the Soul Gem that she could never completely absorb. But now, that darkness had completely disappeared, and the entire Soul Gem shone as brightly as if it were brand new.

"By the way, how about some drinks?"

"No, my mouth tastes like milk right now."

As she spoke, Homura Akemi was full of disdain, but despite her disdain, she did want to indulge herself a little, especially with the company of others, even those her own age.

On the surface, she's only a teenager, but mentally she's nearly thirty. A person's consciousness grows, and she's no exception. Sometimes she feels very tired, but she has no one to confide in.

He could only helplessly embark on the path to save Madoka alone, but now, there's someone else with him?

Just as she was thinking, Liu Yuan tossed her a bottle of cola.

"I know you're old enough to drink, but I don't like drinking. Iced Coke, my Coke is specially made to taste, I guarantee you'll like it."

"Thank you."

"However, I can make you a promise: if you are willing to become a customer of this internet cafe, even if you continue to reincarnate in the future, you will still be able to find people to chat with, and you can also return to this world to see the other person and everyone else."

"May I?"

Liu Yuan nodded: "Of course, hey? It's getting late, I'll check if Yan needs anything. I'm not going back yet. It'll be opening time soon. See you later."

"See you later?"

Inside the room, Mami Tomoe calmed down.

"how's it going?"

Liu Yuan's appearance made Mami Tomoe, who had calmed down, tense up again. Liu Yuan waved and said, "Hello~"

Homura Akemi explained from the side, "Mami-senpai's condition has stabilized. Boss, is what you said really true? Can she really go back to normal?"

"Of course you can, you've played Minecraft, so you'll know how it works. But I have a suggestion: don't let Kyubey discover her existence. Here, take this."

"what is this?"

"Sex-changing potion".

"??"

"??"

"?!"

At that moment, everyone was filled with question marks. Liu Yuan introduced, "Sex-changing potion, a specialty of Terraria. If you can bring a customer to the internet cafe, I'll give you two bottles. How about it?"

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Liu Yuan began to explain: "Terraria has a special sex-changing potion. After use, it can change how all creatures perceive your gender and appearance, even the gods will think you are a man. But it will not change your physiological structure or your self-identification as your gender, making it very suitable for evading the pursuit of certain special beings."

"This must be very expensive, right?"

Homura asked in a low voice, "The daily necessities in the internet cafe are several times or even dozens of times more expensive than outside. Wouldn't these two bottles of potion bankrupt her?"

"It's free, but..."

"but?"

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "If you can bring in just one customer, I can give you two bottles. One bottle changes your perception and turns you back into a man, and the other bottle changes your perception and turns you back. How about it?"

"May I?"

"of course can."

Liu Yuan's move is a blatant, calculated scheme. Once Mami Tomoe learns the truth, she'll definitely be unable to get along with Kyubey, and if Kyubey finds out, he might even try everything to eliminate her. But what if, in Kyubey's perception, her gender becomes male?

Men would never be a target for Kyubey; she could just casually appear in front of him without any problem.

However, Homura Akemi suddenly thought of something: "Boss, if I use milk, can I remove the gender-changing potion's buff?"

At this moment, Liu Yuan was stunned: "It seems possible... because it's just a buff, not a real change to the physical body."

"That's awesome!"

"You reacted pretty quickly. Alright, your task is done, I'm getting ready to head back. Call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, Liu Yuan went back.

As he left, Mami Tomoe finally spoke, asking, "Homura, is he really alright?"

"No problem~"

Homura Akemi lowered her head and analyzed, "I don't know, but I know my body was restored there, and many people there changed their original futures. I think it'll be fine. As long as you're willing, Senpai..."

"I have nothing left to be afraid of, don't I?"

This time, Mami Tomoe is no longer afraid of anything; her body is no longer truly human. The only person she can rely on is Homura Akemi.

Wherever Flame wants to go, we can go together.

"Senior, I'm going to show you someone in a bit. All this information was actually given to me by that person. But promise me you won't be surprised when you see them."

"Ok."

Mami Tomoe nodded, but when she saw another Homura Akemi, she couldn't hide her surprise.

Rinne Flame waved to Mami Tomoe: "Senpai."

"this…"

Mami Tomoe was still confused about what was going on. Knowing the truth, her mind was already in complete chaos. She couldn't comprehend things like time loops, and she felt like her brain was shutting down. However, when Homura Akemi received the notice to open the store, it gave Mami Tomoe's chaotic mind a temporary rest.

"The internet cafe is open! Do you want to come with me?"

Mami Tomoe had no other options left, and nothing to fear. Since Homura Akemi went every day, she would definitely follow. Meanwhile, Homura Rinne pondered the situation.

Finally, he nodded.

Admittedly, Liu Yuan's promise struck a chord deep within her. Facing an almost hopeless future alone, even the strongest woman was on the verge of collapse.

But now that she has a chance to record everything no matter how many times she reincarnates, she wants to go and see.

Chapter 147 Tatsumi's Desire to Make Big Money

With the opening of the internet cafe, Liu Yuan smiled as he looked at the two people that Akemi Homura had brought.

Kisara, lying to the side, muttered under his breath, "See that smile? Every time the boss smiles like that, I absolutely have to open my eyes..."

"Open what?"

Behind them, Liu Yuan smiled and asked, "My dear Miss Geng, what do you want to say?"

Mu Geng knew Liu Yuan's personality all too well. If he were to use a meme to refer to himself, then he would be close to his 'death'.

"Gudong."

Kisara swallowed hard, then turned around and replied with his happiest smile, "We're definitely going to start making money now, right?! Ouch!"

"hehe."

Liu Yuan gently tapped Kisaragi's head with his right fist before helping Homura Akemi and the others turn on the camera.

If it's just about turning on the computer and going online, without needing to do anything physically, they'd all be happy to give it a try with Homura Akemi leading the way.

Minecraft, this is a game that Homura Akemi directly decided on. This game is perfect for magical girls; after beating it, you can completely restore your body when you turn into a cube.

Now, Homura Akemi has an additional task: while helping Mami Tomoe and Homura Akemi complete the game, she also needs to quickly complete Terraria herself. Considering that Tatsumi usually releases his strategy guide in the afternoon, he will help his companions quickly complete Minecraft in the morning, and then work on the Terraria strategy guide in the afternoon.

It is estimated that their combat strength will increase significantly before the Witch's Night arrives.

Reaching the highest difficulty level is indeed very challenging, but with Tatsumi helping to create the walkthrough, progress is accelerating rapidly.

Tatsumi has been working non-stop these days. Thankfully, he can spend his time at the internet cafe without being distracted in real life. Otherwise, Tatsumi would definitely be in a real bind, as he had arranged to meet his friend in the capital.

As usual, he observed for a while, practiced for a while, recorded everything he couldn't record, integrated it into useful information, and posted it on TT.

"Throwing a voodoo doll into the Guide or directly into lava will summon a wall of flesh. Defeating it will change the world, transforming it into..."

Next up is his summary of the strategy for the Wall of Flesh. Many people in the internet cafe have plenty of time, and Tatsumi has clearly stated that he will help with the strategy. Everyone can send Tatsumi any new discoveries they make.

Before you knew it, it was 5 PM, internet cafe time. Based on everyone's intelligence and his own verification, Tatsumi had successfully reached Terraria after defeating the Wall of Roshan.

The Crimson Land and the Holy Land began to spread, and the monsters became more aggressive. After dealing with all of this, Tatsumi, who was about to rest for a while, saw a message.

"Sir, could you please provide a strategy guide for Red Alert? We will offer our experience and the cost of purchasing the game."

Red Alert has been a very popular game since its release. Whether it's the story mode or the casual multiplayer mode, it can satisfy the needs of every player.

Feeling challenged by the skill level? Let's face off against the truly difficult opponents. Even if you're not very skilled, you can still have fun, whether playing against other players or AI. It's like a small patch of land where everyone works together to attack the skilled player. In the end, the winner is anyone's guess.

However, the story mode on Red Alert's true difficulty is universally acknowledged as the most challenging. Currently, only one person has achieved a perfect completion: Schwi. This is due to his superior computing power compared to the original WalkerNet, coupled with his mastery of morale-boosting techniques.

Rick was the same; with his extraordinary calculation ability and complete inner isolation, he treated all lives as numbers and ultimately cleared the game with the determination not to lose his free spirit.

Just because they can clear the game doesn't mean others can. Their success is not replicable, but they want more of their group to clear the game, so that if one of them dies unexpectedly, someone else can take their place.

He hadn't originally considered making a strategy guide because there wasn't enough time in the apocalypse. While Shubi could certainly do it, her strategy was too detailed; often, one wrong step could lead to complete failure.

But Tatsumi showed them a possibility, and the newcomer seemed quite willing.

I do research, ask for all sorts of information on TT every day, and post the methods I've tried that I can use.

After some trial and error, it was found that Tatsumi's strategy is very easy to master and has a very high margin for error. It's similar to fighting the Eye of Cthulhu, where only the most basic bow and arrow are used, but in reality, most players who manage to defeat this monster have already collected useful equipment from around the world.

That's why he wanted to see if Tatsumi could create some simple walkthroughs, even if they were a bit difficult, ideally a walkthrough that everyone could easily complete without thinking.

Even if it doesn't work out, consider it making a friend. Riku has a very good eye for people; Tatsumi is definitely the kind of person who would do anything for a friend, and that's someone worth befriending.

Tatsumi's expression was complicated upon receiving the request. He really wanted to accept, but time and money didn't allow it.

However, he quickly abandoned the idea. Rick had promised that if he could create a walkthrough that could be completed by following along, he would provide him with all the weapons that had appeared in the game, as well as a mobile construction vehicle.

"A motorized construction vehicle? What's that?"

Tatsumi was a little confused; he had never played Red Alert and naturally didn't know what it was.

"what happened?"
