I'm an Internet Cafe Owner?

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Fujimaru Sets Her Sights on Valuable Things



How long had it been since they last shared a room with someone and experienced a sudden death? If it weren't for Kisara, he would have almost forgotten how joyful it was to share a room with someone.

As the owner and network administrator of the Internet cafe, rather than setting an example by maintaining the storefront, they happily turned on the machines and played games together after closing.

Gaming aside, Liu Yuan and Kisara belonged to the kind of players who lacked coordination. For example, in Leon's storyline in Resident Evil 6, there were often mishaps in places where cooperation was needed, and even in places where it wasn't, they still managed to mess things up.

What was even more outrageous was that, to increase the difficulty of the game, Liu Yuan chose the Realistic mode.

In his own words, "I know all the plotlines, I'll lead you through them, no problem."

The result was that instead of leading them through, they crashed at every turn.

From Simmons' maze hometown to the subway in the sewer, the two of them died in various strange ways along the way.

Take Liu Yuan, for example. To avoid the subway, all he had to do was keep his body close to the wall.

But he just had to stick his foot out to see if he could make it back, and when he tried, he died, and the two of them happily respawned.

Then there was Kisara, who saw a power line electrocute only zombies, and she was curious if the power line could electrocute her too. The result was that in Realistic mode, everything was real, and she experienced firsthand what it felt like to be electrocuted.

Liu Yuan was also mischievous, occasionally tricking Kisara several times. For example, when climbing over a wall, he deliberately stepped off course, and when throwing grenades, he accidentally threw them at her feet.

Kisara wasn't polite either; sometimes her spray would go off uncontrollably, and accidentally she kicked a zombie right onto Liu Yuan's head.

But overall, it wasn't a big problem. After feeding the mutated fish under Simmons' ancestral grave and successfully defeating Helena, who had turned into a zombie, they prepared to head to another city.

Just as the two of them were about to start the next chapter, the alarm clock rang.

Glancing at the time, it was exactly seven in the morning.

"Still got an hour, if lucky, we can finish a section."

As a demon, Kisara could endure for a long time even without sleep, and besides, there were no customers in the store during the day, so she could easily nap.

"No, I've played all night already. Let me have some coffee, and let's start business today."

The system did provide coffee, and the system's coffee was very effective. Occasionally, if Liu Yuan engaged in cultivation, it would ensure that he was full of energy the next day at work.

But coffee also cost money, and now he had over three thousand in savings, so a small expense wouldn't be a problem.

"Mmm, then I'll stop playing too..."

Yawning, Kisara turned off the computer. Although she could go without sleep, after a night of gaming, she felt a bit tired. She glanced at the time and decided to take a short nap before opening.

An hour later, they opened for business.

Upon receiving the notice of the opening, the four existing customers entered the Internet cafe one after another, skillfully turning on a computer and ordering some food, starting their journey for the day.

However, when Fujimaru Kaede entered, instead of immediately getting on a computer, she took out the Spirit Calling Bell.

"Boss, can my friend I brought with me use a computer?"

With that, she shook the Soul Calling Bell, and Olga Marie appeared next to Liu Yuan.

"She can't, not because I'm discriminating against her, but because she can't physically wear the headset, and the excitement of the game might scatter her consciousness completely. However..."

"However?"

Fujimaru Kaede seemed to see hope.

Liu Yuan continued, "However, if you're playing a team game, she can join as a teammate and play with you, but there's a catch: you'll have to pay for two."

"..."

Fujimaru Kaede fell into thought, while Olga Marie, who was standing aside, had already been inoculated by Fujimaru Kaede. She spoke up, "There's a lot of money in my bank card!"

"If you had said that a day ago and fully recharged, your money would still be valid. But your world has been burned, and you can't use normal money until human civilization is restored."

"Huh?"

In that instant, Fujimaru Kaede was dumbfounded.

She had managed to scrape by, borrowing money to go online, and now she was told that money was useless?

She felt her vision go black.

"But you can use Saint Quartz or Golden Apples to offset the debt. Three Saint Quartz or five Golden Apples for one hour."

Liu Yuan's smile appeared on his face. He was also surprised when the system ruled that only Saint Quartz could be used for transactions in Fujimaru Kaede's world. He thought his old customer wouldn't be stable, but when he saw Fujimaru Kaede hesitating, he knew that this amount of money was manageable for her.

"Is it... expensive?"

"It was never cheap before, but compared to the scarcity of resources in your world, it's a bit expensive now. But if I remember correctly, you're going to various singularities, right? The materials, Mystic Codes, and Noble Phantasms from each singularity can also be used online, and they will be converted according to their value for consumption."

This statement immediately excited Fujimaru Kaede. "Eh? Boss, how long can my money last now?"

"Let me check~ Your card balance is enough for 236 hours."

"As long as there are no new games, it looks like I'll be fine."

Olga Marie, who was standing aside, reminded Fujimaru Kaede, "Mystic Codes, Noble Phantasms, these are all very valuable. How could you obtain them?"

Fujimaru Kaede nonchalantly replied, "I remember the doctor and Da Vinci said that whatever happens in the singularity will be corrected when it comes to reality. After we snatch them from the singularity, we'll sell them directly to the boss for hours, and when they disappear after being repaired, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right~"

Liu Yuan's affirmation made Fujimaru Kaede even more excited. Since that was the case, she needed to plan carefully. Should she get some heavy weaponry from Resident Evil?

After careful consideration, she shook her head and rejected her own idea.

Using heavy weapons against Heroic Spirits was not as practical as using Mystic Codes.

At least with Mystic Codes, they were both magical from a distance and could be used to hit people up close.

"Hoho~ Boss, you're the best, same as usual, twelve hours."

With the bank withdrawal pointed out by Liu Yuan, she felt like she could reach level 200 today. By then, with invincible levels, she would be able to find and equip all the equipment, making her truly invincible!

"If you're really grateful, bring a few more friends over."

"Bring more friends? Boss, do you have enough computers?"

"If you think it's not enough, then it's enough if you dare to bring them."

"No problem~"

Previously, her friends didn't have time, but now, there was plenty of time. Except for Chaldea, which was completely destroyed, these people inside Chaldea could only study a little bit of knowledge usually, with no entertainment at all.

Moreover, Fujimaru Kaede had an idea. With her influence, there were still many Masters who survived. They could all come together and wait for the new singularity to open, taking everything and robbing everything!

Holding these weapons, which were destined to disappear, and improving themselves could also allow them to experience entertainment. Why not?

Kisara, who had been listening to their conversation, had now confirmed one thing.

Her boss looked like a good person and was willing to help, but in reality, he was quite devious. She really wanted to taste Liu Yuan's memories and see what was in his head.
