I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Wait? You can read minds? Or do you have an Imperial Arm?"

"No, none of that. All your thoughts are written on your face."

Tatsumi pulled out a stool and sat down in front of Leone with a smile: "You've helped me for several days, and I now have my own soldiers. I'm truly grateful. But I want to tell you that I might be on the opposing side of the Revolutionary Army in the future. Will you still help me then?"

Leone was silent at that moment, and at the same time, she exuded a murderous aura.

As he learned from Yuri and continued to command him, Tatsumi noticed that something seemed off about the Revolutionary Army.

Just as Yuri said, an organization composed of impoverished nobles and wealthy merchants appeared to be bringing a better life to the common people. However, they actually colluded with foreign tribes to oppress their own people.

On the surface, it appeared to be assassinating corrupt officials, but in reality, it was a purge of dissidents. Especially after the ministers died, those inhuman officials disappeared from the country, and these normal officials began to protect the country and prepare to bring it back to its former glory. At that time, the revolutionary army further spread the propaganda that the empire was incompetent.

This made Tatsumi think more deeply, as Yuri had told him. Feudal forces could only establish feudal states; this empire was already corrupt. He wanted to use the power of these mobile construction vehicles and internet cafes to build a country where no one would go hungry.

Build a complete country, just like any country in the game, where everyone can have enough to eat.

As for being a leader? He has no interest in that. He'd rather be a guide or a swordsman than a leader.

Chapter 155 Unscrupulous Boss Exploits Employees

Rewinding to a few tens of minutes earlier, as the day came to an end and everyone was preparing to leave, Homura Akemi found Liu Yuan.

"boss…"

Hearing the question, Liu Yuan asked curiously, "What's wrong? Let me make it clear beforehand, if it's a confession, I can't accept it! Office romances and romances with guests are strictly prohibited."

Upon hearing this, Kisara suddenly asked curiously, "Hey? So, boss, how do you find a partner?"

"Is the game not fun anymore, or is the cola not tasty enough? How could you have such a terrifying thought as wanting to find a partner?"

Sensing Liu Yuan's shocked expression, Mu Geng was stunned.

"Wait a minute? Boss, you didn't get in through connections, did you?"

Yuna Takashima, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Going through the back door? What do you mean?"

Liu Yuan pressed Takashima Yuna back down: "It's just about using connections. Also, there's important business here, don't interrupt. You continue."

"Boss, I need your help again. Can you help us get rid of the witch?"

Homura Akemi's mind is in a mess right now. Mami Tomoe has indeed hidden herself very well with the help of the gender-changing potion, but Kyubey actually noticed Mami Tomoe's abnormality and even took the initiative to ask Homura Akemi if that person was Mami Tomoe.

Meanwhile, Kyubey discovered another Homura Akemi and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Madoka Kaname, signed a contract with Sayaka Miki. Furthermore, Kyubey deployed a large number of Kyubeys to Mitakihara, overwhelming the rookie magical girl Sayaka Miki.

What Homura Akemi found even stranger was that even though she had told Sayaka Miki the truth about becoming a magical girl, Sayaka still wished to become one. Homura Akemi really couldn't understand what Sayaka's wish was, and why she would make a wish under these circumstances.

Homura Akemi's mind is in complete chaos. She doesn't know what to do next, or even what she should do next.

"Destroy the witch? Can't you do that with your current strength? Let me think... could it be because of Kyubey?"

Homura Akemi nodded with a complicated expression. After all, they were human, and they were girls. Even if the other Homura Akemi had the mind of an adult, she had never experienced deceit and treachery. Even if Kyubey was telling the whole truth, she still couldn't defeat the other.

Kyubey's actions were quite simple: increase the number of witches in the city. Then, he used his other clones to prevent other magical girls from arriving, tempted Sayaka Miki to become a magical girl, and kept convincing Madoka that the city had too many witches and needed more magical girls, telling her that she had great talent and should become a magical girl.

Although Homura Akemi kept her eyes on the scene, even as a magical girl, she had moments of rest and absentmindedness, and it was during these times that Kyubey would approach Madoka.

Once, twice, dozens of times, Xiaoyuan gradually wavered.

Because Sayaka Miki simply couldn't defeat all these witches, even if Mami Tomoe risked exposing herself, she still couldn't solve the problem. There were just too many, far too many.

Kill one and another will come out; there's simply not enough time to keep up.

"Is that so? Sure, but I'll keep all the loot dropped by the witches we kill. That way I'll do it."

"no problem!"

Homura Akemi has sold a lot of Sorrow Seeds these days, and moreover, she hopes everyone can be safe and sound than for money.

"Alright, I'll take your task. Kisara! Let's get to work!"

Kisara, who was already holding an iced cola and snacks and about to turn on his computer, took off his glasses when he heard Liu Yuan's call: "What's up, boss!"

"I've taken on a job that I might not be able to handle alone, so please help me."

"Ah? No!"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Liu Yuan's head. He walked to Mu Geng's side and reached out to grab the back of her clothes.

"You have to go whether you like it or not, so get going!"

"Help! The boss is forcing us to work overtime, you're a monster!"

Liu Yuan chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, even if overtime can become a demon, it's not a powerful one, because if you pay enough, overtime isn't scary."

Kisara then asked in a low voice, "So here's the question, boss: do I get paid for working overtime?"

"Not a single penny."

Why should I work overtime?

"Because I'm threatening you."

"... "

Kisara fell completely silent; this was the first time in her life she had ever seen Liu Yuan state a threat so directly.

"Okay, okay~ Boss is the best~"

Liu Yuan put down the wooden scimitar, leaving Takashima Yuna to mind the shop in the internet cafe.

Liu Yuan was surprised to find himself back in Takihara City just a few days later. But upon his return, he immediately sensed the darkness emanating from the witch.

"Good heavens, another one in just a few minutes? Kyubey was only planning to force the target to submit. Immortals are so troublesome to deal with..."

Homura Akemi and her group asked, "Boss, is there anything you need me to do?"

"What are you doing?"

Liu Yuan pulled a sword from his backpack: "Terra Prism trial version, take it and play with it. And this..."

He threw out several essential summoner sets, all of which increase the number of summons. For Terra Prism, each increase in the number of summons results in a significant boost to its damage output.

Liu Yuan giving Homura Akemi this weapon was essentially a pre-emptive use of her resources, since she had managed to defeat the Queen of Light in the daytime while driving a minecart, thanks to Tatsumi's strategy.

Unfortunately, she was stuck on the main boss, the Century Flower. This flower requires searching the entire rainforest for its buds, and Homura Akemi had some bad luck, searching for two days without finding it.

"Terra Prism?"

"You already know how to use it, so I won't teach you again. As for us, let's hunt to our hearts' content today."

Kisara transforms into her demon form, changing her everyday clothes into a pink dress, and pulling out her signature pink longsword as her weapon.

"Let me state upfront that I don't want to suffer any pain; I just want to go back to playing games."

"Damn it, my men have been brainwashed by the game. Now I really need to take you out for a proper stroll. How long has it been since you last left the house?"

"Huh? Going out?"

Mu Geng was stunned. It seemed she hadn't left the internet cafe since she started working there. Since returning to her own world would likely mean still being sealed away, she figured it was better not to go back. Besides, the internet cafe was great; there was food, drinks, games, and she could even tease Liu Yuan when she wanted.

"See? Haven't been out in a long time, have you? Come on! Have some fun! You'll get 10% commission on the Lament Seeds you hunted today."

Kisara pondered, "Then the question is, what use would I have for these commissions?"

"If you can get money when I deduct it from your paycheck, hurry up and do it."

Despite his constant grumbling, Mokugen still obediently drew his weapon.

It's time to get down to business. Just like Liu Yuan said, I've been staying here too long, and during this time I've gained a lot of power. It's time to test just how powerful I really am.

Chapter 156 I Could Tell You Were Not Human at First Glance (Bonus Chapter)

In the darkness of night, inside the hospital ravaged by the witch, Kisara walked ahead fearfully, arms crossed.

"Boss, is this place haunted?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Um…"

At this moment, Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Here's a joke: even demons are afraid of ghosts?"

"At least demons have physical existence! Ghosts, those unscientific things, are super scary."

Liu Yuan calmly replied, "Actually, it's not that ghosts are scary, but that your firepower is insufficient."

"What you said makes sense."

While the two were chatting idly, they entered the witch's barrier together. The familiars resembled rats, the insects cockroaches. Liu Yuan didn't know what this witch had gone through in her past, but he knew she certainly hadn't had a good life.

"No problem, but at least familiars should be able to do something a little more normal, right? Kisara! Let's go!"

"No way! That's disgusting!!!"

She verbally refused, but her body prepared for battle. Although she had played many games, Kisara's favorite fighting style was still simple charging and slashing.

She shed all her skills and returned to the simplest way of life, and this simple way of life brought her extraordinary joy.

Flying through the air, magic concentrated on the weapon, causing the pink weapon to emit a dazzling light. This light was a warm glow for allies, but a deadly blow for enemies.

This strike was earth-shattering.

Sensing the threat emanating from Kisara, the familiar beside it stopped moving and stared blankly at Kisara.

Excitement gleamed in her pink eyes. With just one strike, it seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, leaving even Liu Yuan somewhat stunned.

In Liu Yuan's eyes, Kisara flew up, flew to the familiar's side, and used all his strength to kill a small familiar.

"Whew! I'm so strong!"

Kisara wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking as if she had just survived a major battle. After defeating the familiar, she looked at Liu Yuan as if she were taking credit for her achievement.

"Boss, am I good enough?"

"In terms of intensity, no one in our internet cafe can match it."

It's not that Liu Yuan is bragging, but even a newbie like Tatsumi, who hasn't gained any power yet and hasn't experienced any major battles in the game, can still unleash attacks that are even more breathtaking than Mu's.

"Hmph! Leave the rest to me!"

Just as Mu Geng was about to make another move, Liu Yuan pressed down on her shoulder: "My dear Miss Geng, you should watch me. Your fighting style won't kill anyone. You should learn from me."

Liu Yuan took a step forward, took out the mark in his hand, and his expression turned serious.

These familiars discovered the intruders and swarmed around them. They saw Liu Yuan and Mu Geng as food, intending to use them as nourishment to become stronger, and then take revenge! Revenge!
