Chapter 371: Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma EndsIt was another day when the internet cafe opened. Erina Nakiri entered the cafe as usual, but her expression was particularly bright today.Responsible for finding guests at the front desk, Kisara asked curiously, "Erina? Why are you so happy today?"Erina Nakiri took out her mobile phone and smiled happily. "Sister Kisara, look! My ideas are recognized by so many people—really, so many. By the way, is the boss here?""Boss? Boss!!!"Accompanied by Kisara's call, Liu Yuan poked his head out from the lounge. "What's wrong?""Erina wants to thank you.""Thank me? Oh! Then I'm here."Oiginally debugging the lounge time ratio issue, Li Yuan walked out directly when he heard it was Erina Nakiri."I knew you succeeded as soon as I saw you.""Huh?""It's simple. Your smile is bright and pure. It comes from your heart's love for cooking and the happiness of everyone recognizing you. But don't get too proud. There’s no limit to cooking.""I will work hard!"Erina Nakiri patted her chest confidently.At this moment, Little Master also walked into the internet cafe."Little Master! I succeeded before you! I made more people in my world like cooking, and I helped more people who love cooking stick with it. I also made more people feel happy through cooking. Thank you, the store manager, and everyone in the cafe for helping me so much. I will continue to work hard."At this point, Erina Nakiri's boasting was also her gratitude. This success was achieved with the help of everyone. She could feel that without everyone, she might still be the self-righteous fool who thought she was invincible just because she had tasted a few delicious dishes and believed food was simply delicious.Liu Mao Xing smiled when he heard these words. "Really? That's great. But with your fighting spirit, you will never stop your studies because of this. Let's work hard together! The world is too big, and there are so many dishes you can’t finish. It’s really great to be here."Liu Yuan smiled and reminded her, "Okay, I know you're very happy, but the business is open. Do you want to eat something?""Yes! Boss, give me a bowl of ramen."The chef also spoke up, "Then I'll have a bowl too. I'm very sorry I can't make a dish for you to celebrate here.""No, no, no!" Erina Nakiri looked at the ramen handed to her by Liu Yuan and said softly, "No need to celebrate. I'm just doing what I can."This sentence gained a lot of attention on the internet cafe forum. Someone once suddenly gained power and felt confused, unsure of what to do.But Daigo gave them an answer."Like you, I suddenly became very strong and even confused. But when I used this power, I knew that I was just doing what I could."Erina Nakiri was not complacent because she knew that it was this internet cafe and Little Master who had brought her to witness real cooking and made her understand the true meaning of food. Everything she did was just what she could do—not forcing herself to do anything.Thinking of this, she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat the noodles.Because the ramen had been served in this internet cafe and had now found some success, when she ate it again, she recalled herself at that time."No matter how many times I eat it, it still feels magical—delicious in every sense. No matter how many more delicious dishes I try to copy, the ones here are still the best."Liu Yuan smiled and explained, "Because our store sells delicious and filling food. And you are the ones who really push cooking to its limits, even reaching the realm of gods with your human bodies."Accelerator who stood nearby perked up his ears, capturing the key words!Erina Nakiri: "Hehe~"Erina Nakiri smiled, without any tsundere tone—just a pure smile.She was not going to give up on her world goal. The world is so vast, and she wants to eat more food and make more people love food. What she cares about is not fame, but this belief.Not only for her own world, but she also wants to bring delicious food to more worlds, allowing the lives of other worlds to taste great food. She knows that what she has done so far is not enough. So far, she has only created one waterless dish, and the rest are just replicas or imitations.But with the first one, there will be a second, and a third.With a stronger belief, a faint light emanates from her body."Boss... she is... glowing?""Ah! This is her world's recognition of her beliefs and growth.""Why haven't I seen it before?"Liu Yuan touched his chin and thought, "Maybe she is the first to complete her growth here and finish all the hidden quest in her world to become an agent?""Ah?"Kisara was stunned. "What agent? What hidden Quest?""Hey, to put it simply, you can think of worlds as cities. If they want others to visit or want to promote themselves, don't they need some image ambassadors or characteristics? She is the image ambassador, or local feature."Kisara nodded, not quite understanding, then asked curiously, "What are the benefits of this?""Benefits? None. They are working for free, just like you."At this moment, Kisara understood everything.Working for free like her—wouldn’t that be a huge benefit?Imagine your life now: you have food to eat, fun to play, and a man in front of you. Almost all the things you want to do have been accomplished. Is there anything more exciting than this?Seeing that Kisara understood, Liu Yuan smiled with relief.However, Liu Yuan did not say a word. Nakiri Erina's transformation proved one thing: she had easily reached the limit of her world. Now, the world she lives in needs to prosper little by little with her help.The world of Shougeki No Soma is difficult to develop, but also easy. When everyone—or most of the lives—aims to eat delicious food, the world will prosper. But when food is no longer their lifelong pursuit and becomes just a means for making money, the world will fall into mediocrity.And now... the story of Erina Nakiri’s world should have spread to all the worlds, right?Food Wars? Or the legend of Erina Nakiri?It doesn't matter anymore. At least she and her world have left a mark in countless worlds.When it comes to food-related things, some people will definitely think of the term "Food Wars."But if it's Little Master...Liu Yuan looked at Little Master. He might not have reached his peak yet. Although this person is young, he puts everything into cooking. His innocent heart even moved the gods. In his world, there are too many strong people. Even with such a cheat, Little Master dares not claim to be invincible.At the same time, in Branch No. 1, Kaname Madoka held the dry noodles made by Little Master and cursed."I'm so mad! I'm so mad. After I finish this mouthful of noodles, I’ll kill all of you!" While speaking, Kaname Madoka bought food while playing League of Legends.----Chapter 372: New Game ClannadAs the business day ended at the Internet cafe, Liu Yuan once again pondered which game to buy.Currently, the cafe offered many types of games, including fighting, magic, food, life, and even games that explored human nature."Tsk! Although I really want to join the game I want to play, I feel that now is the most appropriate time to join this one, right?"With more and more players, Liu Yuan not only made money but also wanted to ensure that players maintained their basic humanity.Guests can be strong, can lack morals, and even distort their morals, but in the end, they must still be individuals. Whether good or bad, they cannot be separated from the category of human beings.Although they are all individuals, some people seem to have gradually lost their emotions.In this case..."Boss~ What are you thinking?"Liu Yuan felt the wetness and heat in his earlobes. He didn’t need to turn his head to know that Kisara was teasing him secretly while Hitomi wasn’t paying attention.Damn it! She left after teasing him, and he didn’t have enough authority to act on it immediately. But it wasn’t a big problem. You teased me? I’ll make you cry later.Liu Yuan didn’t want to be so wicked, but since Kisara had done this, he directly bought a new game.CLANNADThis was a...Looking at the cover of the game, Liu Yuan fell silent."System, has the story in the game happened in reality?""..."System/Hitomi was silent for a long time before giving a vague answer.[I don't know. It may be happening, it may have happened, or it may not have happened. Are you sure you want to put this game on the shelves?]"Sure, to make up for some people’s... family affection?"Liu Yuan shook his head. He wasn’t sure if this game could make up for the family affection of the players in the cafe, but he still bought it.After buying the game, Liu Yuan directly called all the store managers and network administrators to the main store."Everyone! I have something to announce. A new game is launching today. This game is a little different. I need you to finish it in one day. Oh! To make it easier for you, I’ve adjusted the time ratio in the game a little. Don’t worry about playing the game. By the way, if you find it troublesome, I have an option video here. Just follow that."When Hitomi heard this, she silently lowered her head. She looked at the route. This was the bad ending route."I have a headache. I’m going to rest."Kisara realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, but when she saw Liu Yuan’s kind eyes, her body froze. She was certain of one thing: she had to play this game.Tsk, it's just a game, right? What, can it really stab her in reality?The game mode of Clannad was both similar and different from other games and galgames in reality.The similarity was that the game replaced the player with a first-person perspective, like watching a movie or TV series, allowing the player to experience the life of the character. During the game, you could personally feel everything about your daughter, your father, and your lover’s embrace.The game had no realism mode, only a normal game mode, meaning all players experienced the game from both first and third-person perspectives.Rather than a game, it was more like a film or television drama where you could choose the plot.Liu Yuan also gave a conscientious price for this game: 1 yuan!And if you played this game and successfully reached the bad ending for the first time, you could play all games at half price!Liu Yuan then locked this bad ending. If you ran the ending again, the half-price game sale would be canceled, and there was only this one chance to play at half price for the whole game.Loss?Impossible.Liu Yuan had seen through it. The game did make money, but it made small amounts. The big money came from players online every day. What’s more, if there were players who could keep being cruel, Liu Yuan didn’t mind giving them a half-price game.However, to ensure the game proceeded normally, some key plot points could not be skipped before all endings were completed.Yes, if you played through all the levels, you could turn around and go home to be an otaku for the rest of your life.However, this game also had a disadvantage.It was designed for people who still had humanity......If you lacked humanity, you might not feel anything after playing it.But it wasn’t a big problem, as long as those who had humanity could feel it.At the same time, the game would also make certain modifications to the overall background and style according to the world backgrounds and cultural contexts of the players. It was guaranteed that no player would feel any sense of dissonance while playing.Liu Yuan felt that he wasn’t trying to let them experience humanity at all, but instead to use humanity to let them witness rivers of blood.Jibril didn’t think much about it. She glanced at the strategy given by Liu Yuan and said with a smile, "What? A game that doesn’t even have realism mode can still break my defense?"Leticia shook her head. "Be careful. I feel that the boss has bad intentions."Hitomi stood up, covered her head, and spoke, "I don’t feel well. I’m going to the lounge to rest for a while."Kisara was about to say she would take her to rest, but after thinking about it, she refused.She wanted to see what Liu Yuan was up to.Just a game? She felt that she had played a lot of games, crying, laughing, and getting angry.Could a game that didn’t even have a realism mode, defined by Liu Yuan as a 1-yuan welfare game, break her mental defense?She knew the operation mode of the Internet cafe very well. Welfare games were prepared for newcomers or those who had no talent at all.Ordinary people were still the mainstream in each world.Not everyone liked to fight, so it was a good choice for relaxation."Forget it, let’s go into the game and see what tricks the boss has played for us."Kisara’s words spoke to everyone’s heart.At that moment, as everyone entered the game and saw the girl on the slope, Liu Yuan tiptoed back to his room."Hehehe~"Liu Yuan locked the door, then took out a wooden board from somewhere, nailed the door shut, and finally looked at his bed, lifted it up, and lay down."Wish you a happy game."The game process was very refreshing. This game mode, which felt like watching a movie or TV series, was similar to the game mode of Detroit: Become Human. However, the sense of immersion made Kisara exclaim that it was really cool."Really good, really good.""Hey? What’s going on? Is my wife sick?""Hey~ I have a daughter. Ah? My wife is dead?"When Kisara saw the heroine die, she felt very uncomfortable. But she wasn’t human, so her tolerance was relatively high. What’s more, she had a child and had to work hard to raise it.Here, the game underwent major changes. Players could choose to escape or raise children.But adults needed money to raise children because they worked away from home for a long time and couldn’t always be with their children. Even for the sake of the children, they gave up all their rest and went to work in a distant city.Everything was for the children to have good resources to grow up, until later, the protagonist in Kisara’s view figured it out under the persuasion of his original friends and family.But when Kisara gave up all her work and traveled with her children for the first time, she collapsed...---Chapter 373: No One Will Cry"Boss, you are not human!!"After Kisara cursed, she lay on the table and cried.This was the first time she cried in the Internet cafe.She was a demon, pursuing whatever she liked and taking back what was stolen. She would feel wronged and uncomfortable, but this was the first time she cried simply because of pain."Wow!!!"She felt like her heart was stabbed hard, and then the knife was pulled out, sprinkled with salt, stabbed back in, and twisted a whole circle."Why, why!"Throwing a tantrum—that's the best way to describe Kisara's current state.The game, with its system revision, had a very strong sense of immersion. Whether you chose to escape or to take responsibility and work hard to make money, players slowly began to accept their daughter, embracing all the love for her.To be honest, Kisara didn't feel anything when she saw her wife die. Because she loved Liu Yuan, the wife in the game died. But when she saw her daughter, this lovely child, she really immersed herself in it.She put herself in the shoes of herself and Liu Yuan, then desperately took care of her daughter. Although she was clumsy, she chose to find an easy job after straying, at least so she could spend more time with her daughter before she became more sensible.Her daughter had lost her mother, but she still had Kisara.The crying in her arms made her heartbroken and relieved, and she even had a beautiful fantasy about the future. But then—a stab of the plot.The daughter had the same disease as her mother—a high fever.Finally, the daughter wanted to go out and play, and her hands gradually grew cold in the snow.Looking at the final bad ending, she was... Oh no! The whole demon was dumbfounded.What kind of bad ending was this? She had even seen a beautiful future waving at her, in which her daughter waved to her, told her about her day at school, ate her grandmother's unpalatable bread, and played on her belly at night... and the result!The result!!!Thinking of this, tears could not be stopped.She tried the pain of digging out her heart—wasn't it just a stab in the heart? She was used to the pain, but the pain in this game made her breathless.It was unclear how long it took for her to recover. When she looked at her companions, they were all crying. Jibril was the most violent, even smashing the machine. But unfortunately, her power couldn't destroy the machine, and she was controlled by the air wall due to her violent behavior.Because the game content changes slightly based on the player's status, this caused the daughter to resemble the player in some ways.In this way, the sense of immersion was full.For Liu Yua who slept soundly, there was now both good news and bad news.The good news was that all the staff in the Internet cafe had humanity—even Leticia, who had lived the longest, cried and choked.The bad news was that they had blocked the door to Liu Yuan's bedroom and pried it open.Jibril pried the door open expressionlessly, while Leticia tracked Liu Yuan's hiding spot.Several store managers exchanged glances and took action simultaneously.Downstairs, the network administrators drank tea, listened to the painful voices above, and soothed their wounded souls.Fortunately, Liu Yuan had finally revealed the true ending, and after personally experiencing it, Liu Yuan was not killed by the furious subordinates.The next morning, when Accelerator limped into the Internet cafe, he couldn't help but laugh."Pfft! Boss, what's wrong with you?"At this moment, Liu Yuan's face was clearly marked with the word "punishment."Liu Yuan smiled and spoke, "It's okay, I lost the punishment game, and I'll wipe it off when I go there today. Hey? What's wrong with your leg?""I sprained my ankle while taking a walk, it's nothing serious."While Accelerator was complaining, Toyama Kinji also walked in."Hey, I haven't seen you for a day, why are you limping?""Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?""Okay, okay, I'll treat you today, network administrator, for the whole day!"As the network administrator of the third branch, Shirley operated the machine skillfully. It was just her red and swollen eyes that made Toyama Kinji curious."Boss, you didn't bully your clerk, did you?"Liu Yuan shook his head. "I didn't. I haven't even talked to her since closing yesterday. She just shut herself in playing games. It's okay. By the way, the new game is up. You can play it. There are comments from our staff about this game on the forum. You can take a look. But this game is almost free, so it's a waste not to play it. You get discounted games after you complete it."When they heard about the discounted game, Yifang and Toyama's eyes lit up.Neither of them was short of money, but when they heard Liu Yuan mention there was a discounted game, they became excited.And a game that can be purchased for one yuan—what's the difference between that and a free game? Free games are also discounted after completing them. They must play it.At this moment, Kisara, who had been lying down, sensed the curiosity from humans. She had put on makeup to cover the redness of her eyes today, so she asked while looking normally, speaking softly, "But this game has restrictions. There are several routes that must be selected to enjoy the discounted game, otherwise it won't work.""Hi! We are professional players!""This is not difficult for us."It’s not that Toyama Kinji was bragging. So far, he had completed all the Internet cafe games. A new game, and it was so cheap—essentially a player freebie game. Could he be stumped by this difficulty? He will wash his hair upside down if it does!Accelerator didn’t say much. He was the invincible existence in Academy City. How could the invincible Accelerator be stumped by a simple game?"Come on! The highest difficulty, full data substitution. Hey? There's only one mode?"So, the two of them sat down happily.While they sat down, Toyama Kinji and Levi also went online one after another."Are there any new games today?""Haha! I have something to play again."Kaneki Ken was fine. He could pass all the games normally, but Levi was the type of person who wasn't great at it but loved to play.She tried all the games; if she couldn't pass them, she'd lower the difficulty and read the guide. Not a big deal. Even if Malenia came, she could still cheese her.Not only them, but every store opened the game under the recommendation of the network administrator."New game? Let’s see if there’s any interesting food.""You guys come and see, new game, such a cute style. Come and play.""New game, new game, hehe, Mom~I'm here! Mash, you try it too. One yuan, free."After all, it’s a game that offers discounts on all games if you pass it. It would be a big loss not to play it. Not only ordinary players, but even the Ex-Machinas had disconnected from the Ex-Machina network one by one to avoid spoilers, ready to try the game that had a very high rating on the forum.This review was left by Kisara:"This is a relaxing game. After playing it, my review is invincible! It made me feel like my soul was being healed. I highly recommend it! Just play it. Here is a super relaxing route, and you can get a discount for games after playing it. By the way, this route can stab you—the kind that kills your wife. But it’s not a big problem. You still have a daughter. Raise her. It’s super relaxing."Kisara didn’t lie at all. Even the store managers and network administrators of various branches liked this comment and commented below.This made most players feel very safe when playing, while some sensitive players instinctively felt that something was going to happen.----Chapter 374: Accelerator's Timeline ConcludesJust like Kisara and the others, most players didn't find anything strange at first. On the contrary, they felt that the game was quite simple and well-made.The game mode was not difficult, similar to Detroit: Become Human, but the plot began to take a more troubling turn.For some, the story was very touching, while others felt an indescribable sense of empathy.Toyama Kinji's eyes were a little wet. He hadn't expected to cry."Accelerator, how do you feel?""Tsk? Average, rubbish.""Didn't you say you wanted a half-price game? Why are you acting happy about it?""What do you care?"Accelerator's tone was sharp. As he looked at his daughter in the game, he couldn't help but think of the girl who had been staying at his house recently.A clone of Misaka Mikoto, created to be the commander of all the sisters. Before the research was terminated, more than a dozen clones of Misaka had been made, and even the final one had been completed.Once the research ended, the Misaka Sisters were handed over to Misaka Mikoto. Everyone was willing to follow the arrangements of their older sister to adjust their bodies, except for Misaka Misaka, who insisted on staying with Accelerator.Misaka Mikoto thought for a long time and agreed with Misaka Misaka's decision. Staying with Accelerator was infinitely more convenient than staying with her.After such a long time together, everyone’s evaluation of Accelerator was simply that he was a "tsundere good guy." He always rejected others' help but was the first to lend a hand when someone was in need.So, Misaka-chan stayed at his house and refused to leave. As Misaka Mikoto had predicted, Misaka Misaka was well taken care of.Although Accelerator had been annoyed by her for the past few days, he had never lacked delicious food and drinks. He even twisted his ankle after letting Misaka Misaka step on him yesterday, as she was too fragile.Originally, Accelerator had no feelings for the little girl. He just thought there was someone to talk to and eat with. But when he saw his daughter die in the game, he couldn’t help but think of the little girl staying with him."Wait... that girl!"Accelerator turned off the computer and returned to his own world.Looking at Accelerator's back as he left, Toyama Kinji felt a little emotional."What a tsundere. Just cry if you want to!"He wiped his eyes. Based on his understanding, the game had multiple plot routes. This was just a tragic ending. He could change it when he came back, but when he did, he found that TT was a mess.Mari Madoka: "This is a horrible death! Who is the author? I’m going to turn them into a magical girl! Ahhhhh!!!Homura Akemi: "Calm down, this is a public TT group."Homura: "No need to calm down, I’m sure everyone’s seen it."Mari Madoka: "Sorry, I sent that to the wrong group."Izumi Konata: "Ah, although I’ve played this game, I have to admit the boss’s marketing strategy is awesome. I need to think of a very insulting word to curse about the Internet cafe version."Gabriel: "Birth?"Izumi Konata: "No, that’s not aggressive enough."Evil God-chan: "Big birth?"However, while everyone attacked on TT, Accelerator had returned to his own world. He looked at the little girl sleeping on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.The daughter in the game and the little Misaka in reality were completely different people, but looking at the sleeping girl, Accelerator felt a pang of pain in his heart.Games are just fake. Although you can gain power from them, fake things are fake after all.But this girl was real.Why did he...?But fortunately, he distinguished between reality and virtuality. In the virtual world, his daughter was gone, but in reality...Looking at the sleeping girl, he still didn’t understand why this little girl had found him. But through this game, he understood an important truth.Children should be accompanied more, and if they are sick, they should be treated quickly. Even if they are not sick, they should be examined promptly.Just then, Misaka woke up."Is Accelerator looking at Misaka Misaka? Does Accelerator want Misaka Misaka's body? No! Misaka Misaka is still a child, Misaka Misaka..."Before she finished her words, Accelerator pressed her head down. "Shut up, follow me.""Hey? What is Accelerator going to do? Is Misaka Misaka going to obey?""Shut up!""Is Accelerator’s foot still hurting after being stepped on by Misaka Misaka? Do you want to go to the hospital to check it out?""I said shut up!"However, Accelerator's words had no effect. Misaka Misaka seemed to know Accelerator’s personality and kept talking.Going online? Accelerator was in no mood for that. Forget everything, just get this little one to the hospital for a check-up.No problems would be the best, but if there was...At that moment, he thought of Liu Yuan.The invincible Internet cafe owner could definitely help him solve the problem.At the hospital, Dr. Frog Face helped Misaka Misaka undergo a thorough physical examination."The body is a little stunted, but overall, there’s no major issue. She is..."Heaven Canceller didn’t ask too much, but seeing Accelerator’s expression, he sighed. "If there’s anything else, send it my way. I can’t prevent this from happening, but if you send her, I can still help.""It’s stopped. There will be no more clones. She’s just..."Heaven Canceller saw Accelerator’s worry and comforted him. "I can’t guarantee more, but her physical condition is still good enough that she could live to sixty or seventy.""Tsk, I..."Accelerator was about to say something arrogant, but remembering his experience in the game, he found that his thoughts were completely silent."Hey, little one.""Calling Misaka Misaka again? Misaka Misaka feels very happy about Accelerator’s concern.""Why are you clinging to me?""Because~ you saved Misaka Misaka and everyone else. Misaka was just a consumable in the experiment, but you told Onee-sama about our existence and saved us with her. Misaka Misaka likes Accelerator."This love was like the love of a newborn baby for its parents.Accelerator laughed."I laughed to death. I never thought that one day I would be liked by someone. Little one, since you want to live with me, you’ll have to listen to me.""No problem! Misaka Misaka finally got Accelerator’s approval."One of the things Accelerator feared most about Misaka Misaka was that she always spoke her mind. It was so embarrassing!After confirming that she was fine, Accelerator took Misaka Misaka home. It used to be troublesome having this burden at home, but after playing Clannad, he suddenly felt that it was fun having such a little one at home."Accelerator, Accelerator, there’s an event over there. Can Accelerator take Misaka to play?"Following the direction Misaka pointed, Accelerator saw that there was an event not far away, and the reward was... Gekota? The little gadget that Misaka Mikoto liked?Chapter 375: Hello, Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex!Children..."Do you like it?"Misaka was suddenly asked by Accelerator. She put her hands behind her back shyly."Misaka likes Gekota very much, and Misaka knows that her sister likes Gekota too.""Then follow me."Accelerator also started to line up. This was a small stall selling crepes. Perhaps in order to attract children, the crepe shop had specially prepared cute Gekota as a reward.But when they were queuing, more children suddenly came here, and more children began to line up."Don't get lost."Accelerator spoke casually, but his hand grabbed Misaka's wrist.This was the common way adults took care of children. No matter how obedient and well-educated a child was, they would subconsciously grab the wrist when crossing the road out of worry. Because the palm of the hand might suddenly run away, but the power of the adult holding the wrist would not let the child break free anyway."No. 1 is trying so hard. Are you worried about Misaka? Misaka Misaka looked at No. 1 with some emotion.""Tsk, you don't need to say this!""No. 1  is shy.""Ah! Ah!"Just then, the waiter who was making crepes in front of them smiled and spoke, "Customer, your crepes are ready. And here is a gift."Accelerator took the gift and handed it to Misaka Misaka carefully."Take it.""Hehe~ Misaka Misaka is so happy to receive a gift from No. 1."Misaka Misaka looked at the little Gekota in her hand with stars in her eyes, and at this moment, Misaka Mikoto's curious voice appeared in Accelerator's ears."No. 1? Why are you here?""Huh? What? Is it not okay?""It's not that it's not okay, I'm just curious..."When she saw Misaka Misaka, Misaka Mikoto smiled wickedly. "Are you done?""No!!!"Just when Accelerator was about to act arrogantly, a familiar voice made his heart sink to the bottom of the ice."It's you! Mechanical Tyrannosaurus!"In the crowd, Saten Ruiko spoke this name the moment she saw Accelerator. Accelerator was so embarrassed at that moment that he almost dug a five-bedroom apartment with his toes.Shirai Kuroko looked at Saten Ruiko in confusion. "Mechanical Tyrannosaurus? Isn't he Accelerator?"Uiharu Kazari nodded, "Yes! Didn't I tell you at the beginning that it was Accelerator who saved me and Shirai-san?"Saten Ruiko widened her eyes. "Hey? Remember what I said before, that I was kidnapped? It was him who saved me, and he told me at that time that he was a mechanical Tyrannosaurus."This word triggered a switch in Misaka Mikoto.She covered her mouth and chuckled: "I prove that he is a mechanical Tyrannosaurus, hahahaha!""Stop making so much noise! I'll kill you!""Come on! My magnetic field is rotating 50,000 times now, and who wins and who loses is still a different matter."Accelerator decided to ignore her, and several girls introduced themselves in front of Accelerator and continued to line up. He chose to take Misaka Misaka to continue eating crepes.After Misaka Misaka followed Misaka Mikoto and simply praised Accelerator, the two sat aside. It was just that Accelerator heard a sound of kneeling down not long after eating the crepe."It hurts, it hurts so much, why is it like this?"Saten Ruiko smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I just ran out. I was thinking that if I could get it, I would give mine to Misaka-senpai"Accelerator didn't bother to pay attention, but it was Misaka who jumped down with the crepe."Sister, this is for you.""Gekota? Eh? Misaka? Ahem, no, this is yours. This is a gift from Accelerator. It has a very important meaning. I can't take it."Are you kidding? Accelerator, this tsundere, can give gifts to others?This is something that she, Shokuhou Misaki, and Touma have never experienced!This tsundere only uses the excuse that no one is eating with him to invite Kamijou Touma to eat hot pot, and asks Kamijou Touma to call Shokuhou Misaki, and then asks Shokuhou Misaki to call Misaka Mikoto.Misaka Mikoto is convinced, why is he such a tsundere?However... she obviously forgot that she's also this type of person. But fortunately, there are Kamijou Touma and Shokuhou Misaki, people who uses straight balls to restrain tsunderes, so overall it is okay."Is this... important?"Misaka Mikoto nodded and whispered. "Did you see him? He is a tsundere. What is a tsundere? It means saying one thing and thinking another. What you say and what you do are completely different."However, at this time, Shirai Kuroko spread her hands helplessly." But Onee-sama, if you say so, you are also a tsundere.""I am a tsundere? Impossible, absolutely impossible."Misaka Mikoto shook her head and wanted to continue to quibble, while Uiharu Kazari looked at the bank next to her."Why is the bank closed during the day?"Her words were like poisonous milk. The moment she said it, the door of the bank was blown up.Booom!!Whoo!!!!The alarm sounded, and three masked espers walked out laughing.At this moment, Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari put on armbands at the same time."We are!""Judgement!"Kuroko Shirai said with her back to Accelerator and Misaka Mikoto. "Please leave this matter to us! And Mr. Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, please also see how we have grown."She and Uiharu Kazari were very grateful for being saved by Accelerator before, and because of this, the two of them worked very hard to train.They actually met Accelerator here, so let Accelerator see how they have grown.When Accelerator was about to take action, he also felt their will when he saw the Judgement members take action.He liked this will very much. So he protected Misaka Misaka behind him and sat on a chair to watch the show. He even turned on his superpowers directly for Misaka Misaka's safety, and Misaka Misaka was perfectly covered with white feathers.Kuroko Shirai is indeed an lv4 Teleport esper. She relied on her space ability to instantly subdue a Esper of the same level. But the other two Espers were very smart. One chose to snatch the hostages and threaten, and the other was ready to snatch the school bus next to him and escape.It was just at this moment that Accelerator saw a scene that he couldn't help but notice.The kidnapper was discovered by Saten Ruiko. He was preparing to kidnap a hostage, and Saten protected the child in her arms first. The robber was so angry that he raised his foot to kick Saten Ruiko."The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, Saten Ruiko, raise your head to face the enemy and fight."This is the mind control that Accelerator learned from Yuri, but it's a pity that he didn't learn it throughly. But he learned to inspire others' fighting spirit through language.At this moment, Saten Ruiko raised her head.At the same time, a platinum feather merged into her body.Looking at the kicking foot of the man in front of her, fear spread in Saten Ruiko's heart.She was able to protect the weak in fear, which proved her personality. But because of her lack of confidence in herself, she didn't dare to swing her fist."The fist of the powerless is also very hard!"When Accelerator said this, Saten Ruiko's heart gradually calmed down, and she saw the soles of the shoes getting closer and closer. She felt that the whole world slowed down."Yeah... my fist is weak, but... it's very hard!"-----Chapter 376: Accelerator Wants to Protect All ChildrenAlmost instantly, she dodged the kick, then turned around and used a rising dragon punch to knock the man away more than ten meters."Huh?"Saten Ruiko was stunned, and Uiharu Kazari who was about to exclaim was also stunned.Accelerator covered Misaka Misaka's eyes."I'm sorry, you actually made me see an unpleasant scene. I won't kill you. But..."White-gold wings appeared behind Accelerator, and the feathers floated in the air, instantly piercing the scum who had just attacked.At this moment, Saten Ruiko's eyes widened."Golden-winged angel in urban legend!"Uiharu Kazari asked curiously, "What is that?"Saten Ruiko explained, "It is said that in the dark Academy City, when you shout 'Help me' in danger, an angel with golden or white feathers will appear to save you. I didn’t expect that this angel was actually Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex."The last name made Accelerator pause. "Enough! My name is Accelerator."He was really wrong—he really shouldn't have used this strange name on a whim. If he hadn’t used that name, he wouldn’t be facing this embarrassing title behind his back."But... is this criminal okay?"Hearing Uiharu Kazari's concern, Saten Ruiko shook her head. "Not at all. According to urban legends, angels won’t hurt anyone. They only cause physical injuries to evil people. But it’s rumored that anyone punished by an angel later becomes a good person."The urban legend Saten Ruiko had heard was none other than Accelerator’s doing. Since learning the fighting method that hurts without leaving permanent damage, he had pierced everyone he disliked. After being sent to the hospital with blood, they only had flesh wounds.At this time, Saten Ruiko continued, "By the way, you don’t know, there’s another urban legend that’s almost the same. It’s said that after dark, if you encounter an evil enemy and shout 'Help me,' not only will an angel come, but also a sentence...""Magnetic field rotates! Fifty thousand horsepower!"Saten Ruiko clapped her hands. "Yes! It’s the magnetic field rotating, the legendary magnetic field flip..."Saten Ruiko subconsciously turned her head and saw Misaka Mikoto holding a crepe in her mouth on the side of the road. She clapped her hands and muttered, "What’s wrong? What happened? Oh? Are you looking at that school bus? I saw robbers on the school bus, so I stopped it. By the way, what did you say just now, what magnetic field flips?"Misaka Mikoto really didn’t hear clearly just now and was very curious about what the urban legend about herself was.Shirai Kuroko jumped out directly. "Frenzied Flame! Frenzied Flame, yes, it’s the Frenzied Flame you often talk about, Onee-sama~~"Misaka Mikoto swallowed the whole crepe and nodded. "Frenzied Flame is indeed terrible. I won’t talk about the duel with people on Mugen. That hooded man of unknown gender will output Frenzied Flame as long as he is hugged by him. He is very strong."Accelerator had PTSD about this."Don’t say it, I still don’t know how to reflect the Frenzied Flame."Misaka Mikoto nodded seriously. "Yes, yes, he is too disgusting. Can anyone punish him?"Looking at the two people who suddenly started chatting, Misaka's three friends, including Misaka Misaka, all looked this way.Feeling the focus of everyone’s eyes, Misaka Mikoto blinked. "What’s wrong?"The three adults and one child shook their heads at the same time.Misaka Misaka also missed Misaka Mikoto. Today, when Misaka Mikoto heard that she was going to the game hall to play, she looked at Accelerator eagerly.Feeling this pleading gaze, Accelerator couldn’t bear it.As a guardian, he could only reluctantly follow behind Misaka Misaka."Hey? Is Misaka Misaka your sister?""Yes, my real sister~""Misaka-senpai’s sister is so pretty~""Hehe~ my sister when she was a child."Misaka Mikoto was explaining the situation. The clone made by her DNA... if it wasn’t her sister, what was it? When she thought of Dolly and then looked at her sister in front of her and the other dozen sisters receiving treatment, Misaka Mikoto felt a sense of freedom.The happy day ended quickly, and when it was about to get dark, Accelerator took Misaka Misaka home.Misaka Misaka said she was happy along the way, but Accelerator noticed someone."You’ve been following me for so long, come out.""What is No.1 talking about?" Misaka Misaka asked in confusion."Shh! Don’t talk yet."Accelerator turned around and saw Saten Ruiko scratching her head embarrassedly."That...""Come to my house with me.""Hey hey hey?"Saten Ruiko widened her eyes. Is Accelerator so forward? Inviting a girl to his house the first time they met?Misaka Misaka was about to say something, but Accelerator hugged her and covered her mouth. "Shut up, don’t think about it. And you, if you want to become stronger, come with me."He was very satisfied with Saten Ruiko’s performance today. She was willing to protect the weak, proving that her heart was kind. And she dared to wave her fists in the face of the strong, so... she had the golden spirit.Golden spirit, a phrase often used by Izumi Konata and Yoshida Saki.After hearing the explanations of the two, Accelerator felt he had a golden spirit. And now, seeing such energetic but confused Saten Ruiko, he was happy to help.At Accelerator’s home, he prepared a cup of coffee for Saten Ruiko."If you want to become stronger, don’t leave until tomorrow morning.""Hey hey hey?"Saten Ruiko shook her head vigorously. "No! Absolutely not.""No what? Misaka Mikoto will come.""Wait? You and Misaka-senpai are in this relationship?""Huh?"Accelerator looked at Saten Ruiko with one big eye and one small eye. "I have no relationship with her, but she and that hedgehog head, hehe, very interesting."Accelerator sat on the sofa, his legs on the table, and leaned back to look at the ceiling."Academy City is very dark, but because of this, people like you with shining spirits are needed to protect it. Protect the children’s dreams."After playing Clannad, Accelerator not only confirmed that he was a lo***on, but also found a new dream.In the past, he had been muddleheaded, just wanting to be the strongest, but not wanting to hurt others. But after spending so much time in the Internet cafe, meeting so many friends, and seeing so many things he had never seen before, he was influenced by Clannad and hoped he wouldn’t hurt all the pure-hearted people.It may sound childish, but he actually had the emotion of protecting happiness. And this protection was not just for himself, but for all children.And in this academy city, where 80% of the people are students, people like Saten Ruiko are just right to be his partners.----Chapter 377: Academy City's 'Guardbreaker Alliance' (Updated)"Hey? Misaka-senpai? Who am I? Where am I?"Saten Ruiko looked at the people entering the room one after another with mosquito-repellent eyes.First, there was the hedgehog-haired youth, then Misaka Mikoto, and finally the big-breasted, golden-haired woman. According to her self-introduction, she is another lv5 of Tokiwadai?Counting Accelerator as three lv5s, is it okay for the lv0 me to be here?Misaka Mikoto yawned and said, "What's the matter? I have to work hard tomorrow."Recently, Misaka Mikoto has been a little overwhelmed by the magnetic field rotation, and her personality has become a bit unrestrained. But it's only a little; when faced with strange questions, she instantly turns into a tsundere monster—even more tsundere than Accelerator.Seeing that everyone had arrived, Accelerator stood up and opened his arms."I! I have a dream."Misaka Mikoto immediately stopped and said, "Stop—I just want to ask if you cried.""I didn't shed a single tear."Misaka Mikoto stood up and pointed at Misaka Misaka's room. "If you don't tell the truth, I'll take her away."When Misaka Mikoto returned to the dormitory today, she sensed that something was wrong.Accelerator's behavior during the day had been off; when the bank robbery happened, she even looked at her sister with concern.Good guy—he was so protective. And she's not bragging; she might go all out and beat Accelerator until he rolls his eyes, just to ensure her sister isn't hurt.This fully proves one point: he is definitely playing Clannad!Otherwise, he couldn't protect Misaka like this, let alone say, "I have a dream."Kamijou Touma asked curiously, "What happened? Is there anything I can help with?"Accelerator nodded, "I need your strength!"Misaka Mikoto interrupted their conversation, "Don't talk, Accelerator—just tell me whether you cried or not.""Not as cowardly as you.""Just tell me whether you cried or not.""My heart is so strong!""Will you tell me or not? If not, I'll take Misaka home with me—I don't want my sister to follow someone who's not as weak as me and has a strong heart."At that moment, Accelerator turned his head, but his silence was more powerful than words.Saten Ruiko muttered softly, "It seems that Misaka-senpai is very strong."Shokuhou Misaki nodded and said, "Because she unconsciously let loose in this environment."And Kamijou Touma whispered, "By the way, do you want to eat hot pot? I brought hot pot base."Accelerator rejected it and said, "No hurry! Let's talk about dreams first."Kamijou Touma scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Actually, I guessed that we might get together tonight, so I didn't eat dinner."Accelerator slammed the table instantly, "Stop talking; let's eat. Eat and talk."So the party turned into a hot pot, and Saten Ruiko sat in the middle in a daze.Accelerator shared his thoughts, and Misaka Mikoto, while eating her vegetables silently, said directly, "I agree with your idea, but what about the Dark Side?""Hahahahaha!"Accelerator laughed and said, "Simple! I have a plan to deal with the Dark Side!"Because she couldn’t read Accelerator's thoughts, Shokuhou Misaki asked curiously, "What's the good plan?""I know!"Kamijou Touma—worthy of being in tune with Accelerator—said seriously, "Mechanical Tyrannosaurus said that if you encounter evil, beat him! Beat him until he is no longer evil.""..."At that moment, everyone was silent, but Misaka Mikoto nodded in agreement."I heard that the boss once said that if you keep beating people who fall into darkness, you can make them return to the light—but I can't do it."Kamijou Touma pondered, "But isn't this the same as being a bad person?"Accelerator shook his head, "You don't understand. That's the boss's wisdom. Since the boss said so, there's nothing wrong with doing this. By the way, tomorrow I will invite you to a place and hope you can enter. After you come, I recommend that you buy a one-dollar game. I know the route to pass the game; after passing it, you will get special privileges and can become stronger."When she heard that she could become stronger, Saten Ruiko asked excitedly, "Is it really possible?""I, Accelerator, never lie to people. I tell the truth."Misaka Mikoto nodded and said, "I can prove that what Accelerator said is as true as what Kyubey said."She knew about Kyubey's existence through Kaname Madoka, but except for Accelerator, no one else present knew what Kyubey was.Then Misaka Mikoto patted her chest and assured, "Believe me, this is a game that can make your hearts stronger. It can make you hate the darkness of this city even more, but it can also wipe away your tears and help you live bravely. You all need this game."Accelerator added, "Yes! I believe that you will understand the true meaning of life after playing it."Accelerator and Misaka Mikoto both showed kind expressions, but for some reason, everyone present felt... something was wrong.Until the next day, when the Internet cafe opened, Liu Yuan greeted Accelerator—who entered the Internet cafe first—with, "Why did you run so fast yesterday? Did it break your defense?""I just remembered that the gas at home was not turned off."Hearing this, Kisara held back her laughter.Accelerator introduced as if he hadn’t noticed, "Boss! This is my friend. Do you see if there is any improvement plan suitable for her?"Accelerator had introduced Saten Ruiko with a very simple development route for Kamijou Touma—starting as a warrior. But for Saten Ruiko, he really didn't have a good plan.Minecraft? Terraria? It's good, but he always had the feeling that this kind of power was not suitable for this girl.If you're confused, just believe Liu Yuan.After hearing what Accelerator said, Liu Yuan focused his gaze on Saten Ruiko."Power!"After thinking carefully, Liu Yuan had an idea: "LOL! She has a high degree of fit with Janna, so I recommend Yasuo. Don't ask why—just one word: handsome. This guest, I ask you: do you want to become a handsome swordsman?"So, under Liu Yuan's suggestion, Saten Ruiko chose to become Yasuo.Accelerator sent Saten Ruiko to her seat, personally bought Clannad for her, opened it, and ordered, "Since you want to join my organization, I will ask you to play games. After you finish this game, I will invite you to play Outlast. These two games have a strong training effect on your heart, so you must play them carefully.""Okay!"Saten Ruiko nodded seriously. Although playing games to become stronger sounded a bit mysterious, it was said by No. 1 after all—and it was personally certified by Senior Misaka. She chose to believe No. 1.Then her defenses were broken. Now, it is unknown whether Accelerator and Misaka Mikoto are partners of justice in this organization; anyway, her defenses has been broken from the inside out.On the contrary, Misaka Mikoto and Accelerator—two old people—were drinking tea while reading the guide to find the perfect ending of Clannad.What? Half-price games? No, they want a perfect ending!Of course, Accelerator also thought of a resounding name for the organization he was going to establish.Guardbreaker AllianceChapter 378: Breaking Mutual DefenseSaten Ruiko, Kamijou Touma, and Shokuhou Misaki returned to Accelerator's room with red eyes.Accelerator slowly took out the warm coffee and asked happily, "How do you feel?""Wow!!!"It would have been better if Accelerator hadn't said anything. As soon as he spoke, Kamijou Touma burst into tears."I want to save the children of this world with you."Shokuhou Misaki remained silent. Even though she had seen so many human tragedies, when she experienced one herself, she felt as if her heart no longer existed.Not far away on a bed, Misaka Mikoto was holding Gekota and playing with Misaka Misaka. Saten Ruiko wiped her tears, speaking, "Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, I already understand your idea; I will also work hard to protect this city.""Very good. You take a rest—we will act at night. But I need to find another hacker friend."Saten Ruiko raised her hand and declared, "I know a hacker friend!"Accelerator shook his head. "No, your hacker friend is not good enough.""Huh?"Saten Ruiko blinked, and then Misaka Mikoto stepped forward and said calmly, "Is it the Ex-Machina? I can ask Schwi to come over.""What a coincidence—I also wanted Schwi."Accelerator turned to Kamijou Touma and asked, "What game are you playing?""Me? I know a little boy with a tail. He said my bones are very hard and invited me to fight. By the way, there is a man with a lot of muscles—he also said my bones are very hard. I have a good relationship with them, so I'm going to fight."Shokuhou Misaki looked at Kamijou Touma worriedly and said, "I met a teacher named Yuri. By the way, the mental power he taught me is very compatible with my superpowers, and it is very strong…"In terms of convenience, Shokuhou Misaki felt that her superpowers were more practical, but after studying further, she found that mental power was really too strong—especially the Psychic Storm. Is this really the level that mental power can reach?At that moment, Saten Ruiko suddenly asked curiously, "But, Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex—did you cry?""F***!"He had finally changed the subject earlier, but Saten Ruiko had brought it up again. In response, Accelerator chose not to speak; as long as he remained silent, he would not be broken.Off to the side, Misaka Mikoto complained, "I remember the boss complaining about him. He said that he possess a vector control, but in fact, he could reflect anything. He looked very defensive, yet he was very fragile."Accelerator was about to refute this, but Misaka Mikoto lifted Misaka Misaka up. At that moment, he completely lost his temper.Simultaneously, everyone looked at Accelerator and smiled. Sensing that Accelerator was on the verge of collapse, Shoukohou Misaki spoke with a smile, "Forget it—it's time to go back. There are classes during the day."Misaka Mikoto also stood up. "Indeed, if the dormitory supervisor finds out that I'm escaping, I'm dead. Kuroko~""Onee-sama, are you going back?""Yes~ Kuroko~""It's okay—it's all for onee-sama~"The two of them were very agitated, but feeling the eyes of those around them, Shirai Kuroko straightened her chest and declared, "My love for onee-sama, ah~~~~"Misaka Mikoto casually interrupted, "That's it, see you tonight. Ah~ I'm a little tired after playing all day, and I'll get a good sleep in class."In fact, Misaka Mikoto had wanted to bring Shirai Kuroko with her—according to Shirai Kuroko's own words:"If you choose to face the darkness, then let Kuroko protect the daytime that belongs to you! Kuroko doesn't need strong power. If Kuroko's power can't protect Shirai Kuroko, then she will choose more power."Misaka Mikoto didn't know where Shirai Kuroko had learned these great principles, but since she didn't want to play along, she didn't force the issue.Once everyone left, life for Accelerator during the day became simple and boring. Watching Misaka Misaka not running around or cooking—it was really dull compared to reading a book.Where do the ingredients for cooking come from...Erina Nakiri practiced knife skills and wok flipping every day, and based on the principle of not wasting, many raw materials were thrown into the player mall for sale. Recently, she gathered her friends to practice wok flipping and knife skills, and ended up selling twice as many cut ingredients.Many players bought ingredients to cook in their own world, and Erina Nakiri and Little Master not only taught cooking in their own world but also at the Internet cafe. Considering that everyone had less energy, they taught dishes that even a clumsy cook could make.Upon buying the dishes, Accelerator suddenly fell into deep thought.Misaka Mikoto was right. The boss had said that if they met an enemy, they should just beat him up—it seems that he had said this to Toyama Kinji. But a few days ago, the boss also said that food can bring back good memories and that eating delicious food can help one recover.So..."I understand! Beat them first and then give them delicious food? Let them think of good things?"Accelerator understood instantly, and at the same time he went on TT to ask Kaneki Ken, "Have violent incidents in your world decreased?""Huh?"Holding a hammer in his left hand and a wrench in his right, Kaneki Ken paused. He stepped on a ghoul who was unwilling to spend money on food in a stable area—a ghoul who chose to eat people and had a special taste for ambushing the living."Ah! Much better. Those who have eaten the food no longer eat people. It's just that some ghouls don't believe in evil and ignore my words. I am trying to make them change their ways."The so-called change is to send them to reincarnate, so that they can strive to be an obedient person in the next life, or at least be a ghoul in a stable area.Hearing Kaneki Ken's affirmation, Accelerator understood."I understand, then I will also use food to make them change their ways."So Accelerator contacted Erina Nakiri again. Why did he contact her? It's very simple—he couldn't get orders from Little Master. Although he is an esper, no matter how powerful he is, he can't get orders from those two gods.One is Madoka Mari and the other is Holou—these two almost monopolize Little Master's free time.Accelerator sent a message to Erina Nakiri."Are you there?""No.""Tonight, I want to make people turn back to the right path. I want some food that can bring back wonderful memories.""Simple. I'll send it to you in an hour. Remember to check the mall.""Thank you.""You're welcome."After this brief exchange, Accelerator became even more certain of his idea: beat them first, feed them after beating them, play cards if you can communicate, and continue beating them if you can't communicate—a perfect closed loop!So, Accelerator ordered a large amount of food that could awaken memories and prepared to take action against the darkness of Academy City at night.At the same time, all the senior executives of Academy City received a notice from the general chairman."Stop."They didn't know what this sentence meant, and they didn't know—so they simply treated it as a notice not meant for them.The general chairman stated that he had done everything he could and that it was not his business to do anything else.Anyway, he had always just been watching the show.----Chapter 379: Fuck! Dark Side! Fight!It was dark, and the Guardbreaker Alliance was dispatched.Had it been a day ago, everyone here would have felt that this name was really weird. How could they break people's defense for no reason?But now it seems that this name is really appropriate. Every one of the five people that Accelerator put together on a whim was broken.Especially Accelerator, the nominal leader, maintained the principle that “if I don’t say it, my defense didn't break,” and led everyone to act."The boss once said that the simpler the action plan, the better, so I have set the action plan for this time."Kamijou Touma asked curiously: "What is the plan?""Go in!"Misaka Mikoto expressed her understanding of this order. "Then what?""Then let him beat them up."Accelerator pointed at Kamijou Touma, and Shokuhou Misaki was stunned for a moment and asked worriedly. "What about us?"Saten Ruiko also said nervously: "Will I be a drag on my first time?"Accelerator looked at the two members who had almost no frontal combat experience and said calmly. "After you go in, you will learn from me, and I will just keep pace. Kamijou, this is your chance to perform.""Leave it to me."Kamijou Touma was also full of confidence, and he was highly praised.That's right! According to Son Goku and Baki, this guy is also a tough guy. Although he doesn't seem to have received any training, his physical strength is very high. After entering Mugen, he was pinned to the ground by Baki, knocked into the sky by Garou, and hit by Son Goku's Kamehameha, but he was able to fight back.Genius! An absolute genius! After this guy was taken for special training by the Mugen trio, he flew high into the sky.Why is it “flew high into the sky”? Anyone who is pinned down and beaten by these three guys for a day will fly high into the sky as long as they don't give up.How hard is Kamijou? He was hit on the head by a flower pot from several stories high and continued to walk.In Mugen, even if Son Goku and Baki connected, Kamijou Touma's head would be numb when he was hit by his right fist with all his strength.Saten Ruiko asked quietly. "Who are we looking for?""Ah? It seems to be the Dark Side Group called ITEM? Since we want to clear the darkness, there is no need for this group to exist."Shokuhou Misaki frowned. "Then how do they deal with it?"ITEM—She had a very deep impression of them. When she ran away with Dolly, they stopped her. At that time, it was Accelerator who intervened forcefully and pulled people together to play cards to settle the matter."You are so young, why don't you go to school?"Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto was stunned: "Are you talking to us about going to school? Have you ever been to school?""Shut up! I'll kill you for being noisy!"While there was a lot of noise here, the door of the Tool Base was suddenly opened."Really! I'll kill..."Frenda pushed open the door and looked at the five people standing neatly outside, and her expression froze.Accelerator, Railgun, and Mental Out—three level 5s—were blocking the door, which made her dare not even breathe.When Kamijou Touma saw this scene, he was too embarrassed to take action."Are you really going to do it?"As soon as he said this, Accelerator replied expressionlessly. "Beat them, no one is innocent. And this is her salvation. According to the boss, she won't understand her mistakes if she doesn't get beaten"Liu Yuan knew that he would be confused by this sentence. He remembered very clearly that his advice to Kinji Toyama was to beat anyone who affected his daily life. How did it become like this after being passed around?Kamijou Touma thought seriously. "But I feel that they may not be convinced if I'm alone.""What you said makes sense! But it seems that we are bullying the weak a bit?" Misaka Mikoto agreed with Kamijou Touma's words, but noted that it would seem inappropriate for other lv5s, which would constitute bullying.Accelerator suddenly had a good idea that he had learned when he was chatting with Kinji Toyama."Accelerator! I recently learned a very good way to insult people. When fighting, you shake out big brother, sit on the ground, and applaud. If the other party says you are bullying the weak, you can say that you can't even beat my clone!"In fact, this sentence made Accelerator feel insulted.He later opened the game mode to get the Mimic Tear because he really couldn't even beat the Mimic Tear at Realism mode!But Kinji Toyama's words can be used here!Accelerator said nothing, shook the spirit-calling bell, and another Accelerator appeared.Accelerator looked at Kamijou Touma."Did you get the Mimic Tear?""Yes, Baki said it's a good sparring partner in his world, and I got it directly with the help of the strategy and the big guys."Saten Ruiko also took out the Spirit Calling Bell: "Mine too; the novice strategy is to hit it and run, and I got it in an hour.""Then let's use the Mimic Tear. If our clones can't beat them, it only proves that they are bad."Misaka Mikoto understood what it meant, and the newbies did feel that the Mimic Tear was bad.At least, when they beat it, it seemed as though it could be killed with a few swords.But they forgot one thing: they had taken off their equipment when they entered the boss room—they were equivalent to fighting against a big brother who had no equipment, so of course it felt easier to fight.Several people rang the bell in tacit understanding, and then five big brothers appeared, copying the corresponding person's attributes as they went up.When the five original bodies saw their 'eldest brother' come out, they couldn't help but sit on the ground and applaud.This is the action that almost all people who master the Mimic Tears will perform. When the eldest brother can complete the task alone, the bell-ringing tool men will sit on the ground and applaud his arrival.And the Mimic Tears are really powerful. After learning their host's thoughts, everyone used their most ordinary fists.What? Meltdowner? The eldest brother's Imagine Breaker made the other party understand what cruelty is.In short, the Imagine Breaker can be copied because the Mimic Tear isn't fake but real.So, shouts, fists, beatings, and applause came from the room.Even Frenda, who was kneeling on the ground, was grabbed by the feet and thrown in by the indifferent replica Accelerator.Although these people are all young people, their hands are stained with blood. They must be taught a lesson and made to spend the rest of their lives atoning for their sins.From this night, all dark organizations in Academy City suffered a major purge. All the students were surrounded by five people who kicked them in a circle. Some of them could even hear someone shouting, "Fuck! It's the Dark Side! Beat them up!"Then, accompanied by the sound of bells, five people would rush up and beat them up.After all, the Mimic Tear is not the original body. The original body has shame and the glory of the strong, but the eldest brother does not!The eldest brother just copied everything about the summoner's body and fought according to the host's wishes.The host said that you just don't beat them to death, so he would naturally choose the simplest and crudest solution.So the Mimic Teardrop started to circle and kick—really, it surrounded, kicked, and stepped on people.And behind the five eldest brothers, there was a row of people sitting and applauding.If it were just a beating, it would only cause physical damage.However, the Guardbreaker Alliance would cause mental damage.Take Mugino as an example. Because she refused to obey after being beaten, she was stubborn even after eating a slew of shiny food. Now she has been captured and transformed by Shokuhou Misaki.Although Shokuhou Misaki had been in the Internet cafe for a short time, she was deeply loved by Political Commissar Yuri. Although she did not learn the will of Political Commissar Yuri, she still managed to get people on the right track.So all the students who had been absent from school for many years returned to school, and inequality in this city that belonged to students would still exist.Chapter 380: Fireman and Watergirl and Plants vs. Zombies (Additional Update)The next day, as Accelerator entered the Internet cafe, Liu Yuan asked curiously,“What are you doing? You look like you’re going to die.”“I’m tired.”“Two new games are available in our store. Do you want to try them?”Accelerator was excited when he heard these words.Yes, another month had passed, and the games in the Internet cafe were refreshed again. This time, two very interesting mini-games appeared—one called Plants vs. Zombies and the other, Fireman and Watergirl.The reward in the first game was quite interesting, offering various plant seeds. After planting, these seeds could serve a role similar to that in the game. However, when Liu Yuan saw Fireman and Watergirlfor the first time, his face turned black—because it clearly stated, “It takes two people to play.”Yes, this is a two-player game, much like It Takes Two or Overcooked.According to Liu Yuan’s understanding, randomly refreshed games should be purely random; but two consecutive games requiring two players made him a little concerned.“Is the Boss hinting at me?”Liu Yuan thought about this—of course, there was one more thing he had to consider. He had to find a way to marry Kisara.But don’t worry—if you have an idea, just find a way to put it into practice.As for Hitomi, although you are the first, being first does not guarantee that you will win in love. Who said that she would develop feelings after he met Kisara?However, Liu Yuan suspected that this was done intentionally by his boss.These are all later stories. What Liu Yuan had to do now was to recommend the games so that more people could try the newly launched titles.After all, both Plants vs. Zombies and Fireman and Watergirl were full of bad taste.“Okay!”Believing in Liu Yuan’s recommendation, Accelerator immediately got on the computer to play.That same day, Toyama Kinji also brought his childhood sweetheart to the Internet cafe.“Network administrator, turn on two machines. This is my childhood sweetheart, Hoshiga Shirayuki. Shirayuki, this is the boss I told you about.”At that moment, Hoshiga Shirayuki bowed to Liu Yuan and said, “Hello, I am Kinji-kun’s childhood sweetheart and future wife, woooo!”Before she could finish her words, Toyama Kinji interrupted her.But Liu Yuan didn’t care. Young people already knew what he knew, so he directly recommended the new games.“Would you like to try a new two-player game—a very fun mini-game?”“Yes!”Toyama Kinji had originally intended to introduce Hoshiga Shirayuki, but when he heard that the game was a two-player game, he turned his head and looked at Accelerator.Accelerator patted the stool next to him with an expression that said it all.“I’m here.”Toyama Kinji calmly sat next to Accelerator, while Hoshiga Shirayuki widened her eyes and looked at both Toyama Kinji and Accelerator in disbelief.“Hey, hey, hey? Could it be Kinji-kun is?!”Liu Yuan rested his head on both hands and said seriously, “Not at all, but you should not underestimate men’s gaming friendship.”“Why didn’t you choose me for the two-player game?”It was Kisara who spoke up. She walked over, looked into Liu Yuan’s eyes, and said, “Men—tempting a man’s body is one thing; playing games is another. Sister, believe me: if you want to seduce a man’s heart, don’t waste your energy on the game. If you want to attract a man through the game, you have to show that you are better than him.”“Will he like me if I’m better than Kinji-kun?”Speaking very experientially, Kisara replied, “I don’t know about reality, but in the game—as long as you are better than him and willing to take him on—he will hold you and lick you.”“Okay, thank you, senpai.”“You call me senpai; this is what you should do. Don’t play Fireman and Watergirl—just go play Clannad. After playing that, you’ll understand why Kinji brought you here. After all this time, you’re the first person of the opposite sex he’s brought.”“Hey, hey, what?”Liu Yuan waved his hand, “Hi—what’s hard to guess? After playing Clannad and then bringing the girl here, isn’t it obvious that he's going to have a baby with you?”“Is there any other meaning?”“Yes!”Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Shirayuki’s eyes nearly burst out.“Ah~”The newcomer’s motivation made Liu Yuan and Mu feel very good! Very good.Just as the two were getting moved, a new person entered the Internet cafe.“Hello, guest. This is the four-dimensional Internet cafe—here you can…”A new guest had arrived, and the person in charge of entertainment became the new Internet administrator, Shirley.This girl who had a voice and spirit much like Kisara’s had never left since she arrived and even regarded this place as her home.But what made Liu Yuan a little uncomfortable was that this girl appears to want to steal his wife.That’s right—Shirley always used various excuses to stick close to Kisara.Although Kisara felt that the other party wasn’t right, after all, she had been deceived and she had to take responsibility. But when it came to sticking with girls, Kisara actually wanted to stick with Liu Yuan more.It had been a long time since she had had a baguette—she really wanted to lick the butter off the bread. Eating bread and licking butter was their business, while the new guest looked around the room in confusion.“Where is this? I remember I was testing new tools—how did I suddenly end up in a strange room?”“Excuse me… can Kabane be eliminated here?”“Kabane? Oh! I know.”Hitomi raised her head and muttered, “Come on! Turn on the computer and go online. That thing can be solved without technology now.”“Huh?”The boy named Ikoma looked at Hitomi excitedly, “Really?”“There’s no need to lie to you. Anyway, you don’t understand this place. Just be a miracle for the time being. Shirley, get him online and have him play Plants vs. Zombies. This game suits him.”If it were a modern world with a Bio-hazard virus outbreak, Hitomi would definitely recommend Resident Evil or other games. But Ikoma’s world was a bit special. Personal strength was useful, but not entirely sufficient. Besides, although Plants vs. Zombies was a small game, the rewards were very useful.The game reward was unlocking the Endless mode after clearing the level. Every fifty levels granted a plant seed, distributed in the order in which the plants were obtained. It wasn’t difficult to get, was easy to clear in a few hours, and the endless mode was even more casual. By the time this newbie reached the endless mode, the strategy team would probably have completed hundreds of levels.It was as simple as copying homework—Shirley arranged for Ikoma to sit in a daze.Since he didn’t know much about this world, he would try it first, and after trying it, he would likely choose to stay. Unlike the newcomers, the old players—such as Accelerator and Toyama Kinji, who had been there since the third branch opened—burst into endless fun with the new mini-games and found camaraderie in the game.

Chapter 381 Plants and the Iron Fortress (Additional Update)Toyama Kinji: "This Watergirl is a woman!"Accelerator: "I understand! We are brothers; I choose Watergirl"Toyama Kinji: "Why are you competing with me? I want to choose it."Accelerator: "Get lost!"Not only in terms of character selection but also in the game, the two people played each other's evil to the extreme."Oops, I fell down. I'm sorry!""Damn! I sneezed.""Who are you kidding? You told me I sneezed in the game?""Hehe, I don't know who fell down in excitement mode—who would believe it if I told others?""Come on! Let's fight! I'm a fire man; fire beats ice."So, the two people playing Fireboy and Watergirl started fighting in the game.As we all know, in the Fireboy and Watergirl game both ice and fire disappear when they encounter opposite attributes, so the two people who started fighting are competing to see who disappears fewer times. They were having fun despite such childish behavior.On the other hand, Hoshiga Shirayuki standing by, looked at Accelerator with resentment, as if Accelerator had robbed her man.In fact, she misunderstood.The two of them were teaming up in the Internet cafe, and there was no such thing as robbing anyone.f Hoshiga Shirayuki could really attract Toyama Kinji away in games one day, then Hoshiga Shirayuki would have robbed Toyama Kinji.While they were having fun here, the newcomer on the other side opened Plants vs. Zombies under the guidance of Shirley.Plants vs. Zombies is a game that you have likely heard of if you have used a computer or a mobile phone. If you have played games for many years, you are very likely to have played this game.How can one describe how Ikoma played this game?It's really interesting.Place sunflowers to produce suns, then plant the seeds on the ground, and then place the suns on the seeds. The number of suns placed causes the corresponding plants to grow instantly and then attack the zombies that approach.Ikoma also saw zombies that looked very similar to Kabane but were much slower. "Can this be used to deal with Kabane?"Ikoma was skeptical. For example, the Pea shooter looked very powerful, but in his memory, Kabane was fast and powerful and could not be killed unless he destroyed the designated location.Can this thing kill Kabane?In doubt, he finished playing the game. This game is really not difficult. Even if you have no combat experience or modern knowledge, people who have never heard of or played the game can quickly get familiar with it.Because this game is so simple—collect suns, plant plants, and eliminate zombies—after passing a level you get new plants to defeat stronger zombies."A sunflower, and then a pea shooter!"Ikoma was still skeptical at first, but as he played, he suddenly got a little excited.This game is really interesting!At the beginning, he often failed. But as he played, he found that sunflowers are very important. You can't just plant one sunflower and then plant a pea shooter without thinking. You need to plant a lot of sunflowers and plant a pea shooter when you have more sun.While playing, he also discovered the existence of the TT forum, where he directly found the game strategy for Plants vs. Zombies.Looking at the strategy above, Ikoma began to get addicted.The game process is very short. Even in realism mode, it is just planting plants and experiencing some unreasonable game modes, such as potato bowling or hitting the zombies' heads with a hammer like in whack-a-mole."So interesting!"Ikoma is also an ordinary young man. Although he was affected by the death of his sister a few years ago, his curiosity about new and interesting things made him addicted.In the morning, he cleared the entire game mode. After playing the mini-game for a few hours, he began to study the endless mode.As the name suggests, zombies keep coming out in an endless tide. He needs to hold on through wave after wave of zombies. At this time, he finally experienced the horror of zombies.When there are few zombies, they look weak, but when there are many, he needs to use his wisdom to adjust the plants to eliminate them.Corn cannon, giant mushroom, sunflower...Unlike the game mode that requires balance, the realism ode is to use plants to resist the invasion of zombies. All plants are useful and can be used.The pace of the game is always very fast. When he followed the strategy to reach the 100th level, a closing notice appeared in Ikoma's vision."Hey? Closed?"Ikoma was stunned for a moment, and Kaneki Ken, who had finished saving the game, saw the newcomer Ikoma and shouted to him. "Newcomer, save the game quickly; the store will be closed soon. You must leave when the store closes. If you stay with bad intentions, you will be blacklisted by the boss and can never come in again.""I remember, thank you, senior.""What are you thanking me for? We helped each other. Come! I'll treat you to a Coke!"Kaneki Ken threw a glass of iced Coke to Ikoma, and Ikoma subconsciously took it and asked curiously: "Excuse me, what is this?""Coke—pull the pull ring and drink the black, bubbling thing. It will make you feel so good.""It will make me feel so good?"Ikoma curiously opened the Coke, and the moment the cold, sparkling water entered his mouth, he felt like he was in heaven."Is it delicious?""It's delicious.""Then work hard to make money! In this Internet cafe, if you work hard to make money, you can drink these delicious things every day."Internet cafes are like this.After the two of them had a brief exchange, it was time to close the store. Each row of customers walked to the door in an orderly manner. Some were making plans to meet tomorrow, while others were preparing to come back the next day because they had been abused in solo.Ikoma also returned to his own world. Because he was conducting experiments, he lived in a relatively remote place. Looking at the seeds he had obtained, he fell into deep thought.Sunflower seeds and Pea Shooter seeds.These two basic plants can be said to have accompanied him throughout the game. It happened to be daytime now, so Ikoma planted the seeds he had obtained in the ground.He was very curious: would this plant be as magical in his own world as in the game?At the same time, he also focused on the TT group. Although cross-border chats cost money to communicate, with the emergence of player malls and dealers many players can be self-sufficient. Although it is not possible to become rich and powerful in one's own world, it is still very exciting to surf the Internet happily every day."I see. I need to make money. I can't surf the Internet without money. It seems I need to work hard to make money... How can I make money?"While he was thinking, under the sun a sunflower emerged from the ground. Looking at this suddenly growing sunflower, Ikoma fell into deep thought.He thought that the sunflower in reality would not sway like it did in the game, but in reality, this sunflower looked at him when it appeared, swaying left and right in a very rhythmic manner.Chapter 382: A Spark in the Iron CastleIkoma looked at the swaying sunflowers, and the BGM from the game kept ringing in his mind.The magical BGM and the magical swing made his body move involuntarily. It would have been fine if he had just moved, but he looked down at the seeds in his hand. Suddenly, he had a bold idea.The idea was to plant all the seeds!In the game, it is necessary to plant plants to resist zombies, but Kabane does not appear in reality. Why is he so anxious?"How is it possible? The people in charge of the Iron Fortress are very experienced, and it is impossible for Kabane to enter."Ikoma was speechless about his sudden idea. At first, dealing with Kabane was very troublesome for everyone. But as time went on, castles were established in various regions, and they were connected to each other through the Iron Fortress.Although he had heard that some areas had fallen, it was precisely because of these fallen areas that the samurai here paid more attention to protection and did not encounter any problems."Forget it, since we are here, let's plant some plants."He had quite a few sunflowers in his hand. Similar to the game, when the sunflowers produced sunlight, he could also collect it; however, the sunlight he collected could not be seen or touched by others, and only he could use it.But fortunately, there was a large open space in this urban area—an open space that no one used—so he began to plant sunflowers and peas.At the same time, the pea shooter from the game Plants vs. Zombies was very powerful. According to his test, the peas ejected within 50 meters actually had a greater impact than guns.It is hard to imagine how terrible the zombies in the game that can withstand such an impact are.Why not say 50 meters away? Because the peas will disappear at 50 meters.It's amazing!Ikoma couldn’t figure out what was going on.Until the next day, when the Internet cafe opened again, Ikoma found Liu Yuan."You are the boss here, right?""Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"At that moment, Ikoma took a deep breath: "Boss! Excuse me, how can I save my world?"After confirming the magic of playing with plants, he was sure of one thing: this was not an ordinary place but a paradise where gods lived. God gave him some power, but he hoped to gain the power to save more people.He didn’t want anyone to continue to become Kabane, and even said…Faced with the boy’s request, Liu Yuan smiled. "Sorry, no one can directly change your world, but you can change your own world.""Can I change my world?""Yes! Boy, I feel your anger and your fear of Kabane. Kabane is strong, but the plants in Plants vs. Zombies are stronger. They can help you fight Kabane, but have you ever thought about one thing? In your world, the most terrifying thing may not be Kabane, but the human heart.""Human... heart?"Liu Yuan got up and brought a stool for Ikoma. "Yes, as long as you have enough power, it’s fine. For you, the power of plants is enough to deal with any enemy, and even if you buy the new life-saving suit sold by the Mecha, you can walk sideways in your world. But it doesn’t matter. Without the power of matching thoughts, no matter how strong you are, it is useless. If you lack thoughtfulness, you will be too impulsive, and impulsiveness will lead to mistakes.""Boss... help me..."At that moment, Ikoma looked up at Liu Yuan like a devout Protestant, and Liu Yuan looked at Shirley. "Ah! Shirley, take this guest to open Red Alert. Remember, you need Yuri from Epsilon in Mental Omega—not Yuri from Yuri’s Revenge."There was a little accident on Shirley’s side. As an experienced person, everyone knew that the recommended version of Yuri must be the Mental Omega version, because this person is the political commissar. But because Shirley was never exposed to it before, she once mistakenly recommended Yuri’s Revenge and almost led people astray.But it doesn’t matter—Shirley is now very skilled.So Ikoma sat in a daze, just as Liu Yuan had said: he didn’t need power.Plants vs. Zombies may look very weak, but for this world with only Kabane and combined Kabane, that power was a bit too strong.Then the most important thing was to improve his thinking—to help him understand what he wanted to do and what effect he wanted to achieve.But now Liu Yuan was thinking about one thing: if Yuri really comes to the Internet cafe in the future, what expression will he show when he sees Proselytes all over the street?Yes, as of now, all the guests in the Internet cafe are being recommended to see Yuri—a real psychologist—through various channels while playing.The same is true for Ikoma. After entering the game, Yuri looked at the new Proselyte and asked,"Oh! My dear Proselyte, what difficulties have you encountered again?"Ikoma looked in the direction of the sound; seeing the kind bald man, he subconsciously said, "I don't know what I should do..."He also questioned himself about what he should do. But when he received the answer—to destroy Kabane—he was confused. He had once thought of special weapons to directly destroy Kabane’s heart.But when he obtained this power—and even completely acquired various technologies through Internet cafes to destroy the enemy—he became even more confused. Because he didn’t know at that time, and because he was too young, he was very impulsive.Impulsiveness is the devil. He had never heard that phrase, and no one had taught him the disadvantages of impulsiveness, because he had no family.In Liu Yuan’s view, this is simply a natural protagonist. Both his parents died, but he had a sister and a house. Although his sister died, he still had the house.Yuri heard Ikoma’s question and smiled brightly. "My dear Proselyte, I feel your confusion. You don’t recognize your ability. It doesn’t matter. We can take it step by step. Let’s start by conquering the small country of America. I will teach you the meaning of life in this world little by little."During the game, with Yuri’s constant teaching, he realized that he had been superficial before, but he also discovered that he was too impulsive."Look, dear Proselyte, you have forgotten my teachings. I am very sad for students like you who don’t study well, but it doesn’t matter. I will teach you again—teach you how to control your emotions. Our brains are very magical. Most people’s brains can only receive information, but we can send information…"Ikoma widened his eyes and immersed himself in the ocean of learning.When it was closing time at the Internet cafe again, he stood up from his seat.Games never change people’s minds. Even Yuri’s game only teaches players how to master power. Ikoma now had mastered power and completely understood what he wanted to do."Boss! Thank you, I have found the direction of my life."Liu Yuan waved his hand. "You’re welcome. This is what I can do. In this world, countless people will be confused. Meeting is fate. Since we have met here, it is my duty to help you find your way to a certain extent. What are you going to do?"Ikoma pondered, "After the teachings of Political Commissar Yuri, I realized that there are still boring classes in my world under these circumstances, and that no one has the ability to change the whole world. There are even people who use other people’s resources to live a life of luxury in such a difficult environment. I can’t stand it."After only one day of contact, he was attracted to the Epsilon ideology.Yuri did not claim to be righteous; he just wanted to establish a unified regime in the world. And Yuri explained to him the benefits of doing so, and also explained what he should do if the world experiences an apocalyptic crisis and he lives in a single city."My dear Proselyte, you need to concentrate power; you need to make everyone listen to you. You need to reasonably distribute every piece of material, and if necessary, you need to use our power to maintain rule. This is not humane, but it can allow more people to survive. When a race faces extinction, all freedom is meaningless."Some people may refute this statement, but Ikoma thinks Yuri is right, because in the area where he lives, those high-ranking people use a lot of resources to enjoy luxury.He lives at the end of the world; he can’t control other cities, but he can control his own city…He walked out of the Internet cafe confidently. He had only followed Yuri for one day, but he learned a lot.He also understood the meaning of Liu Yuan’s words and was ready to do a big job.----Chapter 383: Opening Champagne for the New YearKisara asked curiously at this time,"Boss, what's wrong with him?"Liu Yuan touched his chin and thought, "Maybe... he got enlightened?""I see.""By the way, Kisara, I have something to do here; come with me tonight."Kisara asked hesitantly, "Where to?""Minecraft, shall we go?"Liu Yuan had returned to his own world before; after all, he had lived in the Internet cafe for a long time, so he had cleaned up some useless things."Your invitation is very sudden.""Sudden? I thought you noticed it.""Noticed what?"Kisara blinked. He was concerned about everything regarding Liu Yuan. Today's Liu Yuan was the same as usual; there was no change."It's today's date!"Kisara glanced at the chaotic dates in the Internet cafe; it seemed that there was nothing special."It seems you don't know anything at all! New Year's Eve, in my old world, is the day when people who are away from home go home.""Huh?"Kisara’s eyes widened. He mind was a little confused at that moment, but Liu Yuan didn’t give her any time to be puzzled—he directly grabbed her hand and left the Internet cafe.After getting off work, even he—the store manager—could return to his own world and have fun.But...Liu Yuan remembered that when he first became the store manager, he had actually wanted to go home and sleep, but because the Internet cafe provided accommodation, food, and entertainment, he was too lazy to go back."Hey? Boss? Where is this?"Kisara looked around in surprise. The surroundings were decorated with lights and colors, but there were no pedestrians. If it weren’t for the vehicles passing by from time to time, she might have suspected that this was a ghost town."You don't have any experience, right? In my hometown, we have New Year's Eve dinner during the New Year. Why go out at this time?"After saying that, Liu Yuan took out her mobile phone and looked at the time. Wow, it was eight o'clock in the evening. If it were ten years ago, he would have definitely dragged Kisara to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but now… it doesn’t matter whether to watch it or not.Then Kisara was dumbfounded because Liu Yuan had brought her not to treat her to bread and help her open champagne, but to bring her to meet his parents."???"Standing at the door of Liu Yuan’s house, Kisara was dumbfounded. However, Liu Yuan was prepared. She took out two boxes of fruit and, as soon as the door opened, skillfully pulled Kisara into the house.Throughout the whole process, Kisara thought, "Oh no! The devil is dumb."She wanted to help with the work but was chased into the living room to accompany Liu Yuan."How is it?""Bo…"Kisara subconsciously wanted to call him "boss," but feeling Liu Yuan’s gaze, she lowered her head and changed the term."Husband~"After meeting his parents, Kisara naturally understood what Liu Yuan meant. It was just that she had suddenly changed her words, and she felt a little uncomfortable and shy."Didn't I say that in private? And! I've communicated with my boss. But according to the boss, our situation cannot be made public.""Eh? Eh!!"Kisara opened her mouth in surprise, and Liu Yuan took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth."Stop it, didn't you want to do this a long time ago? Are you unhappy?""Happy, but... I didn't expect it; it was too sudden.""It was a bit sudden; in fact, I didn’t realize it was such an important day."The TV in his house was still an old-fashioned set. He turned it on and took a look. At that moment, the Spring Festival Gala was already on. Looking at the program, Liu Yuan sighed.It was rotten—really rotten. But even though it was so rotten, I still turned it on and watched it; after all, I had to see how rotten the program was.For Kisara, both of Liu Yuan’s parents welcomed him without difficulty, since Liu Yuan had already leaked the news that he would bring his wife home during the Chinese New Year. Although this wife was a demon, seemed a little old, and—by the way—was not of this world, their son liked her, so the parents chose to play dumb.After all, their son had a promising future, but the two old people couldn’t figure out how their son—who could do everything but played badly every day—was chosen.Good luck? It's possible; after all, they were lucky back then. Perhaps this silly girl had never seen the world and was fooled by Liu Yuan.They ate and watched the Spring Festival Gala. Although the Spring Festival Gala was bad, it was rare for the family to get together.After dinner, it was past midnight and the New Year arrived. Like countless families, after a dull time, Liu Yuan and Kisara were pushed into the bedroom."You two sleep together~ Do you need this~"Looking at the stuff thrown by his mother, Liu Yuan took it and stuffed it in."No need, Kisara has a pregnancy plan."Outside the door, there was a complaint about Liu Yuan."How long have you been out? You used such a civilized word? You have a pregnancy plan, tut tut."Faced with his father's complaints, Liu Yuan closed the door, turned off the lights, and completely blocked the sound."Huh!"Liu Yuan didn't sigh, but Kisara sighed."Sorry, I'm a little nervous; uncle and aunt are too enthusiastic...""Doesn't this prove that they recognize you~"Liu Yuan hugged Kisara, and the two fell directly onto the bed."Hubby...""Shh, just hold me like this. You can prepare for pregnancy at any time, but today I just want to hug you—and I will hug you even more in the future.""Hmm..."After a long silence, Kisara whispered, "Can we do it in the store?""Why not?""But I... don't want to quit. If I quit, I will be completely useless."Although Kisara played around in the Internet cafe every day—working 12 hours a day (of which eight were spent in a daze)—she still worked hard for four hours, recommending games and providing technical advice based on customer needs and ideas.But even so, she didn't want to quit. Even if she was only a little useful, she wanted to be able to play a role at work instead of merely being supported."Okay, let's run it together and make the Internet cafe better."Kisara whispered softly in Liu Yuan's ear, "Then, um, do you want to... try to prepare for pregnancy tonight?""?"Liu Yuan always felt that something was off, and Kisara seemed to be tempting him. "No, it's too troublesome to take off clothes.""That..."A red light flashed on Kisara's body, and her clothes transformed into a black dress—her usual battle attire—which she could control freely.But now, this dress consisted only of a top, a skirt, and a bow on his chest, and she pressed Liu Yuan against her."Since you don't want to move, I'll move myself.""?""I'll open the champagne for myself~"Kisara’s tone was full of charm; she was really super happy—even though she didn’t quite understand what the New Year was.Yet she felt that this was a very important day for Liu Yuan: taking her to see his parents on such an important day, and also talking about preparing for pregnancy.Doesn't this prove that he wants to set up his internal settings? Can she still bear this?It had come to this point: Liu Yuan must also help Kisara open the champagne. The bottle’s opening was too tight, and this time Kisara was so excited that she failed several times when she tried to open the champagne herself."You idiot, let me do all this."In order to prevent the champagne from leaking, the cork needed to be pushed into the bottle’s opening with force, but the opening was too tight, and Liu Yuan dared not use too much force for fear that the champagne would spoil.But Kisara didn't care about these precautions; she pushed the cork in directly with force, and the moment the cork was pushed in, the champagne sprayed out.Because the champagne was opened directly on the bed, the sprayed champagne stained both the bed and the clothes.---- Chapter 384: Teaching Overlord to Be a Big LiarWhen the store was about to open the next day, Liu Yuan and Kisara returned to the Internet cafe. To avoid any mishaps, the two went directly back to the main store instead of the branch store.At the No. 3 branch store, Hitomi had collapsed in a chair, looking utterly hopeless."Manager! Manager, what's wrong with you?" someone called.Hitomi managed to say, "You... don't understand. It was obviously me first—and I lost so thoroughly. Woo, woo, woo!"She cried—she truly cried. Clearly, she wanted to replicate the glory of her predecessors, but she was robbed of any chance as soon as she had a host. She had even tried getting close to him, hoping to capture his heart, but in the end, she could neither capture his heart nor his body.He only advantage now was that she and Liu Yuan were permanently bound—but the more this happened, the more it pained her.Meanwhile, in the main store, Kisara was humming a little tune in a good mood."Hey, pink hair, what's wrong? What did you eat that makes you so happy?" teased Jibril.Facing Jibril's provocation, Kisara replied with a smile, "Me! The cream baguette I ate yesterday~ Hehe, the boss personally fed me, and I was completely satisfied~"This cute remark made Jibril shudder as she exclaimed, "Eh! Disgusting, boss—I want some bread too! Cream baguette!""Okay!"Liu Yuan actually handed Jibril a cream baguette and tossed her a bag of yogurt."Come on! You eat more than Kisara.""Hehe~ Thank you, boss~"Faced with Jibril’s low-level ridicule, Kisara no longer appeared fazed.At that moment, the manager of the main store, Makise Kurisu, fell into deep thought.For some reason, she felt she had heard similar dirty jokes before. But it didn’t matter—she was the manager now, and that was enough to carry out her work.Like a victorious kitten, Kisara patrolled the store triumphantly while Liu Yuan smiled and occasionally reached out to pinch her cheek.Just as the two were enjoying themselves, Suzuki Satoru walked into the Internet cafe. The moment he saw Liu Yuan, it was as if he had found a savior."Boss, long time no see..." he greeted."Satoru! What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" Liu Yuan asked.Suzuki Satoru shook his head and then nodded.It might be a bit embarrassing to admit that after learning from Yuri for so long and mastering so much about human nature, he still didn’t know how to draw words from others.For example, the members of the Great Tomb of Nazarick never had trouble—they simply said whatever was asked. Just a few days ago, when Sebas was questioned, he almost revealed the color of his underwear.But when it came to strangers—especially those he had only met a few times—he lacked an effective way to pry or even threaten.Strength is valuable, but Yuri had taught him to rely on his intellect as well. Although using one’s own mind is fine, most of his subordinates’ methods were too crude and lacked aesthetic sense—hardly befitting the refined image of a boss’s designer.Consequently, he sought from Liu Yuan some simple tricks or interrogation methods that anyone could use. In that regard, he considered Liu Yuan a master.After listening to Suzuki Satoru’s story, Liu Yuan pondered, "This? I have a very simple method. You don’t need to study psychology, and you don’t have to pepper Yuri with questions. To be honest, you worship Yuri every day. If Yuri ever actually shows up, he’ll go crazy when he sees you."As soon as he finished speaking, several nearby guests—who hadn’t even begun the game—leaned over curiously."What? Which branch has Yuri, the Political Commissar (Sensei)? We should thank him!"Liu Yuan waved his hand to shoo them away. "I said he might come, but he hasn’t really come. But who knows—your obsession is deep enough that you might actually attract Yuri."After a brief exchange of jokes with the other guests, Liu Yuan turned back to Suzuki Satoru."Actually, the method is very simple. You just do this, this, and then this…"Liu Yuan began to explain his simple psychological tricks.Why are they so simple? Because if one’s own strength is convincing enough, or if one has been with someone long enough to be familiar, this trick can succeed 80 percent of the time—even though it isn’t foolproof.It is far more practical than sitting around pondering how to exploit human nature. According to Liu Yuan, if you lack spiritual power and the ability to read minds, don’t bother with those fancy methods.In fact, after Suzuki Satoru listened to the plan, he was very surprised."This… Boss, you are amazing. You actually have a simple method?""Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile—these are all the tricks I have left. But this routine only works on people with weak minds or with vulnerabilities and secrets. In essence, it uses riddles to make the other party feel guilty, and then takes advantage of that guilt to extract useful information. It’s meant for bullying the naive, but it works very well."Suzuki Satoru left, and Kisara whispered in a low voice, "Boss, aren’t you turning people into big liars?""It’s okay—big liars are better than riddlers," Liu Yuan replied.Meanwhile, Suzuki Satoru accepted Liu Yuan’s advice and returned to his own world after spending a day at the Internet cafe. After all, he had started bringing guardians to the cafe, so many tasks could be delegated.Back in his world, he decided to experiment with the knowledge he’d learned from Liu Yuan. In his daily life, Suzuki Satoru always remembered Liu Yuan’s teachings."Albedo.""Yes!""Leave for a while; I have some things to deal with alone.""Yes!"Albedo had become increasingly obedient to Suzuki Satoru’s training, for he had always adhered to the principle of "hit a stick and give a date."Although the two were drawing ever closer in a strangely negative way—so close that it was hard to tell who had altered the settings first—it didn’t matter. It was only a matter of time before Albedo was rewarded.Currently, Suzuki Satoru was in the empire controlled by the Blood Emperor. This country was fascinating—the newly appointed emperor was an excellent founding monarch of the feudal empire, and the entire nation was thriving.It was precisely because of the emergence of the Great Wrath of Nazarick that the emperor took notice and prepared to send a team of adventurers to explore.The sudden appearance of a new city, its wonders, and the constant influx of people—all these signs heralded new legends. Everything pointed to this place, compelling the emperor to pay attention.At the Adventurer's Guild, many adventurers had chosen this sub-commission: to reach the newly emerged city and its strange building. The more information they gathered, the higher the reward.Arche was a member of this adventure team and also the target of Suzuki Satoru.This girl was very interesting. Her eyes possessed the ability to see through magical auras, but unfortunately, he wore a hidden ring that prevented her from seeing anything.At the same time, Suzuki Satoru was attracted to her appearance. She was a beautiful girl with well-proportioned features and a pleasant temperament. Her looks far surpassed some ordinary folks, and she appeared to have a vulnerability—making her ideal for training.In this world, she was undoubtedly the most attractive overall. A person with both charm and beauty like hers would make an excellent public ambassador for his magical nation.Chapter 385: Suzuki Satoru Becomes a Big Liar"Hello!"Suzuki Satoru's greeting made Arche stop subconsciously and turn around. When she saw the adventurer certificate hanging on Suzuki Satoru, her nervous mood relaxed."You are... the legendary Lord Momonga, right?"Suzuki Satoru and Albedo became adventurers during their travels. After solving some small problems, they became a little famous.But it's not a big problem. It's not important compared to his experiment. He is now going to try Liu Yuan's plan on this adventurer. If it works, the guardians will have a less violent way of interrogation or prying."I am Momonga, Miss. Can I invite you for a drink?""This..."Arche shook her head. "Sorry."However, he wasn't fazed, "It's okay. Let's talk here!"Suzuki Satoru remembered the first sentence of Liu Yuan's suggestion."First of all, you must have the aura of a superior. When dealing with ordinary people, you can simply look down on them. When dealing with people in high positions, you can directly expose your terrifying power."Now Suzuki Satoru was in the first stage, suppressing the opponent with his aura.The suppression of strength, identity, and height made Arche swallow her saliva subconsciously. She wanted to shout, but Suzuki Satoru did nothing.At this time, she would only be regarded as a madwoman if she shouted.Seeing that the other party was intimidated by his identity, Suzuki Satoru continued to speak."I know a secret about you."After saying that, Suzuki Satoru walked around her, then looked aside and smiled. "Should I tell you this secret, or should you tell me?"At this moment, Arche's brain was running wildly. In his eyes, Momonga was an adventurer of a much higher level than his. And according to rumors, this adventurer named Momonga had a strong sense of justice, helped the weak, and even took some commissions for free. This kind of existence had both women and reputation and should not target her.Am I good-looking? She was indeed a bit pretty, but only compared to most ordinary people and nobles. In terms of beauty, she was really nothing.Why did he choose me?She thought of a possibility—her parents. Her parents were nobles and had done many shameful things.Could it be!!!Although she had wanted to leave home for a long time, they were her parents after all, and as a child, she should compensate for the mistakes made by her parents."I'm sorry... I only have... this money. Is it enough?"She trembled and took out the bag, which contained all the bounty from completing the task this time."If it's not enough, I will try my best to pay it back."At this moment, Suzuki Satoru was sure that Liu Yuan's words were useful. Although he didn't know what secrets the girl in front of him had, it didn't matter. The important thing was to make his target work for him.So Suzuki Satoru continued to speak according to Liu Yuan's teachings."And.""And? Could it be..."She widened her eyes and thought of the most terrible possibility—that she had offended this adventurer while doing dirty work. This was more desperate than killing someone.Killing someone could be atoned for, but offending a high-level adventurer... her future...Her future was already dark, but for her sisters, she worked hard and earned money. She could die, but her two sisters..."I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!""Do you think saying sorry is useful?""Please let my sisters go. I will agree to anything you ask me to do."Her body trembled. She wanted to say she would dedicate her body, but she understood that saying such words to a strong man was tantamount to insulting him.Suzuki Satoru was very happy now. Liu Yuan's method was really simple and crude!There was no skill—just fear, the unknown, and the other party’s excessive imagination to trick out information.At least now he knew that the girl in front of him had sisters, that she would do anything for them, and that she was willing to give everything for her family.With a weak spot, it was much easier to control."Agree to everything? Then if I order you to go to the place where you received the mission for in-depth exploration, what will you do?""..."Suzuki Satoru smiled. "It's okay. I won't force you if you don't want to. But these things, and the consequences, you should think about yourself."Suzuki Satoru was a big liar from beginning to end.He himself didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking, but it didn't matter. He let her say everything.Arche bowed directly to Suzuki Satoru, "But please take my two sisters away after I die, sir? They are still young and have done nothing wrong. Please don’t let them become playthings. Please.""Raise your head."Arche raised her head in fear, and Suzuki Satoru looked into her eyes. "I promise that if you are truly loyal to me, I will not let you die, and I will protect your sisters. But...""I understand. I will take my sisters and sever ties with my parents. I swear... to be loyal to you. I will be your loyal servant.""I don't need a servant, but I like sensible children like you."Arche hated—hated that her parents had done terrible things.Suzuki Satoru didn't know what she understood from beginning to end, but it didn't matter. He had simply picked a passerby who looked pleasing to the eye to conduct a small experiment.Next, when the country was established and it confronted other nations, he could follow Liu Yuan's routine.Liu Yuan's routine could be described in one word: "deception."He used strength and riddle-like questions to make people think for themselves. Because the questioner was in a high position, their confidence would subconsciously make the questioned person overthink.At this time, saying less was best—keep squeezing information out of the other party, then say nothing and let them figure out how to deal with it.From beginning to end, he knew nothing and said nothing, yet he could obtain a lot of information.The best thing about this method was its simplicity—so simple that anyone with a brain in the Great Tomb of Nazarick who could speak could use it to extract effective information.The downside, as Liu Yuan said, was that it was almost ineffective against people with strong willpower.But this was enough! Suzuki Satoru wanted a method that anyone could use. His subordinates' interrogation methods were fine for villains, but not suitable for ordinary people."I accept your loyalty. You will be glad for your choice, and I will allow you to see my true face."At this moment, the girl named Arche suddenly vomited. He eyes could see magic levels, and after Suzuki Satoru removed the ring that concealed his strength, she was directly overwhelmed by the sudden burst of magic.Anyway, one more loyalty to Suzuki Satoru didn’t make much difference, and one less didn’t matter either. The woman in front of him, as his test subject, had performed very well. She was smart and worth keeping.He was also very satisfied with the results of this experiment. But what was he?Was he what the network administrator complained about—a "big liar"?But he thought about it and realized that being a big liar didn’t seem so bad. It was better than being a riddle man.There was an essential difference between a riddle man and a big liar. A riddle man had something to say but didn’t say it, while a big liar knew nothing, just deceived, and talked nonsense.Chapter 386: Unification is about to be completedArche was shocked. What did she see? Is this... the realm of God?Yes, Arche had been brought to the Magic City by Suzuki Satoru, and at this moment, she truly understood the meaning of fear. It was the overwhelming suppression of advanced civilization and absolute power.The Magic City was created by Suzuki Satoru based on the town planning learned from Skyline, integrating multiple worlds and the management methods learned from Yuri.Why has this city not been discovered for so long? Because the entire city is shrouded in the magic barrier from the Nanoha world, which can completely isolate any magic detection in this world.The entire city's buildings have been modernized, and a large number of members enter the Internet cafe to obtain the construction capabilities of Minecraft and Terraria, easily building a city cluster.Considering future development, the city is built with 13-story buildings equipped with magic elevators.Now, the entire city has a population of about 100,000. They are all from the surrounding villages or non-human races defeated by Suzuki Satoru.This city is fair. Everyone can earn money through their own study and hard work. Suzuki Satoru is even ready to raise non-humans.That's right! Absolutely useless training plan.Biological power station!Even if you have no ability, even if you absolutely don't want to work, you can still come in to generate electricity for eight hours. Although the salary is the lowest, the food is included.Although the food is the most unpalatable synthetic food, you can be lazy.Yes, in this utopian city built by Suzuki Satoru, everyone can be lazy.What, rebellion? It doesn't matter!Suzuki Satoru has absolute strength, and with the help of the Internet cafe, he doesn't have to worry about being out of control.In addition, he is an undead. As long as he doesn't commit suicide and develops steadily, and with Yuri's teachings, he can really rule the world forever.It's just that now Suzuki Satoru is still attracting friendly forces through peace. Even in battle, he makes the other side understand his strength and join "willingly" after all the defeats.This city, whether it is clean streets or delicious-smelling food, is something Arche has never seen or heard of before."I told you that you will feel lucky for your choice! Come! Become a part of this city, you need this city, don't you?"Suzuki Satoru arranged for someone to lead Arche to explore this city. The black streets were very flat, and the white lines on the streets showed its extraordinary nature. One golden skeleton after another lined the roadside?She was stunned. What did she see? A group of skeletons with holy light shining on their bodies were patrolling? Aren't skeletons undead magic? Why is this happening?As if sensing her doubts, the elf guardian named Aura appeared in front of her."You are the one brought back by the Supreme Being, right? It is the state of the most kind and pure people after death. They become like this in the underworld because they don't want to go to heaven to enjoy life.""Don't want to go to heaven? Why?"Arche was puzzled. They can become angels if they go to heaven, so why don't they go to heaven?"Because! They love this world! Even if they die, they are willing to fight for this world because they want to save people like you."Aura's voice was full of energy, and at this moment, it resounded throughout the street.Yes, this is one of Suzuki Satoru's plans, to modify people's perception of skeletons.You think black and black gas are evil? Then I will add a holy light skeleton. How about it? Haven't you seen it? I'm giving it a mysterious setting.It looks sacred, has never hurt anyone, and even helps with town construction. When people experience the benefits personally and see that they don’t look ugly, they really trust them.At the same time, add a few eloquent skeletons. When people see them for the first time, because the skeletons have the sacred attribute of the golden tree, they will only be surprised, and when they learn the real details, they will only be moved.And in the center of the town, Aura and Mare also made a big tree and asked Liu Yuan to add an Erdtree with it's usual power. No one wanted to leave later, and those who left all went back brought people.Adding to the magic barrier shield and Shalltear's constant assassination of the surrounding enemies, the situation here was not exposed.Among them, Suzuki Satoru also encountered a little trouble. Shalltear was controlled by a World-class item, but after Suzuki Satoru and Albedo pressed her to the ground and forced her to drink milk from Minecraft, she became normal again.Arche opened her mouth; she had something to say but couldn't speak. Aura took out a brochure and handed it to her."The Supreme Being thinks you have a heart of seven orifices and specially invites you to become one of the image ambassadors.""Image ambassador?"Aura nodded and said, "Yes, when you understand this city and really like it and want to stay, you can voluntarily choose whether to become the image ambassador here, and you will become one of the symbols of the humans in this city.""No, no, I have done too many evil things, and I..."Arche was terrified; she didn't believe she could take this big responsibility.Aura spoke calmly, "Whether it is evil or not does not depend on the judgment of outsiders, but on your own judgment."Just a joke, 90% of the entire Nazarick, including Suzuki Satoru, has a justice value of -500, and now they are praised as good people, gods!Even Demiurge has been forcibly disguised as a servant of God.Not to mention, he was very happy in his disguise, and even his whole persona was involved.Aura continued: "Don't worry, your sisters has been assigned to a designated house, you can go accompany your sister first and then make a decision. If you still refuse after you have a thorough understanding, we will respect your choice because here, as long as you don't break the rules, you are free."Arche was shocked. Not only her, but also the adventurers sent by the Blood Emperor to explore were shocked when they came here. Many adventurers are not good people, but looking at the neat streets, the sacred trees, and the introduction of the undead on the streets, they had to believe it.In addition, there are angels in the town!!!The Angels are Flügels, who come to work for a fee. After all, if you want to surf the Internet in an Internet cafe, you can't do it without money.For example, Suzuki Satoru hired a disguised angel with a high salary. You can work for a week after working for a day, and the Flügel are scrambling to do it.Arche now feels numb all over, not to mention the pedestrians on the street. The combination of machinery and undead magic, the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, and the fragrance in the air— is this really the world I know?"Welcome to the Magic City! I believe you will love it here."The city built by Suzuki Satoru is a dimension reduction attack. When a world where crap isn't flushed away by drains appears, toilets that can be flushed away directly after defecating, clean water that can be used at any time, delicious food that can be eaten at any time, and beds so comfortable that they cannot be described.And this city has extremely perfect laws. After all, Suzuki Satoru paid for it. In the face of money, the Ex-Machinas set up laws that conform to the laws of this world according to the laws of various worlds.Whether a person is a professional or not, as long as they do not break the law, they are equal. And in this city, the lawmaker is Suzuki Satoru. He also made it clear that everything he does is legal!He is an absolute power holder and an absolute oppressor. But except for him, all those who break the law will be punished in various ways.Any ancient people will indulge in luxury. It won't take long. Three days will make them addicted to this place, and twenty-one days will make them accustomed to living in this world.Food, clothing, housing, transportation— everything is enjoyed. There are no nobles here. The only commander is Suzuki Satoru. They personally saw his men violate the law and accidentally hit and kill people. Then the dead were resurrected, and the violators were severely punished. Punishment.Although it was a performance, it was much more real than the invisible and intangible miracles of the church in this world.More importantly, in this city, when there is a disease, the kind skeleton soldiers will send the patient to the hospital.Any disease can be cured! At present, no one has died of illness in the entire city!Because of this, the people in the city are becoming more and more pious and more and more crazy.After learning about this, Arche initially felt it was unbelievable, but after seeing her sister, she agreed to become the image ambassador after experiencing it herself.In the city hall, hundreds of image ambassadors stood there, looking forward with firm eyes. This included Arche.Arche swore that she will join this city and return to her country, the city where she lives, to save more people who are suffering.There are already thousands of people like Arche. Suzuki Satoru and Albedo have not wandered in vain during this period. They have brought back many people from various countries. Now it is time for these people to guide more people to the Magic City.The process of occupying this world is about to begin, and the money owed to the boss should be repaid.Chapter 387: New Branch, New Manager ElysiaWith the number of customers at Branch No. 3 surpassing 100, and the customers who had completed their growth in Branch No. 3 beginning to bring people from their own worlds into the Internet cafe, Liu Yuan felt it was time to open another branch.First, the worlds in this area had completed their communication, and they would periodically send people here. Second, the old man had also completed the closed loop, constantly bringing people from his own world, which was making this branch more profitable.Although it was not as lucrative as Fujimaru Kaede raiding Gate of Babylon, it could be considered a good cycle.This branch no longer needed his attention.It was just that Hitomi..."I feel like I need to open a new branch..."Liu Yuan said this "casually," and upon hearing it, Hitomi immediately sat up: "Boss, are you leaving?"For some reason, Liu Yuan detected a tone of pitifulness in her words."Yes!"Liu Yuan nodded and replied, "I’m opening more branches and bringing more people into our Internet cafe in other areas. What's wrong with that?""It’s fine! Boss, go ahead! Let’s chat."Hitomi was exhausted. She had been thoroughly defeated and had no chance. She could only rely on her binding system to stay connected. After all, the main body remained the same, so she would stay in this body to look after the store! At least it was useful for something.A new store, naturally, meant the need for a new network manager. So Liu Yuan left and posted a request for recruitment."Hey, pink hair! Pink hair! Pink hair! The boss said he likes white hair, so why are there only pink-haired people? Woo woo woo!"Hitomi, in pain, helped Liu Yuan post recruitment ads. The so-called recruitment was actually quite mysterious.In truth, it was just casting a wide net to find a few pink-haired people who might develop a deep hatred in the future across various worlds, sending out recruitment notices. Whether they came or not was left to fate!Because the net was cast so widely, the responses were swift. At the same time, some worlds discovered that the four-dimensional space was recruiting people and would specifically recommend their prepared candidates.Once all the worlds knew that Liu Yuan liked women, most of the prepared worlds would leave a few backup plans.In a seemingly ordinary technological world, a girl named Elysia was enjoying an average life.Elysia's eyes were filled with sadness. She wanted to do something, but she couldn’t. She was Elysia, but right now, she was just an ordinary person.This world was peaceful, with all countries living in harmony and a unified language and script. For this world, flying off the planet was just a matter of time.But... she was just an ordinary person now—at best, an ordinary person with some talents.While sighing, she received an invitation:"Four-dimensional space Internet cafe! Hiring! Our shop operates twelve hours a day with many benefits! In addition to money, we have everything. Come! Have fun! Plenty of time..."Yes, this time Hitomi posted a recruitment ad that was lighthearted. After all, the Internet cafe was expanding little by little under Liu Yuan’s care, and recently, Liu Yuan had become well-known. Any recruitment information certified by the boss would be pushed out, regardless of its content.Looking at the recruitment ad that appeared suddenly, Elysia chuckled and said, "That’s really interesting..."In the blink of an eye, Elysia noticed a girl standing in front of her.The girl had the same hair color as her, and even their eye colors were very similar. But... she wasn’t human?So cute, really cute. Her pout in anger was adorable, and her gaze at Elysia was so endearing. Such a cute girl.Then, Elysia turned her gaze to the man beside her, young and handsome. Was he human?"Hello~ My name is Elysia. Are you my boss?"Elysia smiled, but at that moment, she felt hostility—strong hostility from Kisara. But this jealous look was truly cute, and it amused her.At that moment, Kisara looked at the newcomer, Elysia, completely dumbfounded. She had always been confident in herself—whether in terms of appearance, body, or other aspects, she considered herself a top-tier beauty.But the moment Elysia appeared, Kisara felt as though she was going to lose.Liu Yuan looked at the girl in front of her and fell into deep thought. What had happened to his system?Had it figured out the truth and given up on him, instead sending perfect, beautiful girls to seduce him?Did Kisara not realize that the girl in front of her wasn’t looking at him, but at her?He smiled and shook his head.Elysia spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Hey~ Are you dissatisfied with my beauty? Humph~ I’m super cute.""Very cute, so cute that Kisara wants to eat you. Okay, you’re an applicant, so let me ask you a question: Are you willing to be the manager of a branch of the Four-Dimensional Internet Cafe?""Internet cafe? What benefits do I get?""Benefits? Wait, I have to pay a price to bring you in."Kisara immediately grew jealous at these words. "Boss! What do you mean by that? I’m freeloading, why does this woman want you to pay a price?"Jealous! Jealous! Jealous!Kisara’s jealousy was almost written all over her face, but Elysia smiled upon seeing this.However, her smile soon froze."Boss~ I’m here," a calm, divine voice made Elysia turn her head instinctively. At the same time, Kaname Madoka, appeared behind.As the 'human' and the god locked eyes, Kaname Madoka saw the future in the girl before her. The heaviness of this future even amazed her."You are... a good girl.""Really?""Yes, you’re the best girl I’ve ever seen, the cutest elf."At that moment, Kaname Madoka transformed into the Law of Cycle. She simply held the girl’s hand and encouraged her. "Come on!""This is...""Shh~ This is a reward for the cute girl~"After a brief hug, the Law of Cycle reverted back to Kaname Madoka."Fifty years. Those who haven’t yet arrived in your world will wake up in fifty years. But the other two who have arrived may require your efforts to eliminate them. Fifty years of life is like a dream or an illusion. You will succeed.""Thank you for your help... I’ve decided to become an employee of this store."At that moment, Elysia saw many things. She saw different people using various ways to change and save the world. She also saw how the Law of Cycle had helped her little by little. "Hehe~ I’m doing what I can. There are many saviors here. You’re human, and I believe you can be one of them."Elysia, rarely playful, knew that the one in front of her was... a god. Although not the god of her world, this god had helped her and the humans of her world gain fifty more years.If nothing changes, her world would face real disaster in thirty years at most.No! It wasn’t the world collapsing, but the human civilization of this century. Thirty years would give the humans of her world the ability to face the end, so fifty years!It was highly likely that they would be prepared to confront the end.However, this blessing from the Law of Cycle could only prevent the Honkai that had not yet come to her world. Her world had already been involved with the Honkai and was on the verge of appearing.But she was not alone anymore. She had learned that there were countless people from different worlds in this Internet cafe...At this moment, Kaname Madoka looked up at Liu Yuan. "Boss, you found a good employee. I envy you.""It wasn’t me who found her, it was her. But she is indeed a good employee. She’s pretty and looks very mischievous. She’s the perfect girlfriend for anyone.""?"At this moment, Kisara looked at Liu Yuan with empty eyes.Feeling the darkening of the girl beside him, Liu Yuan reached out and hugged her: "Kisara! You made a mistake. Now it’s not you who should be jealous, but me!!!"In response, Kisara nodded. "Boss! Aren’t you afraid?""What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, I can fire her. I’m the boss, with unlimited power, and I enjoy ruling my employees.""Puff~"Liu Yuan smiled. "I’ve done all I can do. Now, open the door quickly. I want to play games!""Almost."Liu Yuan replied, and Kisara blinked. She didn’t understand when Elysia had been tested.Seeing Elysia blink, Kisara sensed something was off but couldn’t put her finger on it. She felt as though Liu Yuan was being stolen from her, but she still didn’t understand how the other party was going to take him.Under everyone’s gaze, Kisara discovered one thing.Elysia stretched out her hand, making a pistol gesture and aiming it at her heart."?"Kisara was stunned for a moment. Shouldn’t she aim at her husband? Why aim at herself?"You're thinking about me, aren’t you?"Elysia’s words made Kisara gasp. She finally understood what Liu Yuan had meant, but at the same time, she instinctively leaned back.Terrifying! So terrifying. Hitomi’s plan was so wicked, but she definitely didn’t know that she and Liu Yuan not only had a done deal but had also met their parents!Safe!Chapter 388: Elysia's Study.jpgTo avoid being pouted at, Kisara came up with a brilliant idea.Thus, all the Internet cafe staff gathered at the main store. When Elysia saw the variety of girls, she blinked.Is this... heaven?There were all kinds of cute girls: black hair, white hair, pink hair, red hair, and even more pink hair."Dear boss~ Do you like cute girls with pink hair, like me?"Upon hearing Elysia's question, Liu Yuan shook her head. "If you want to ask what I like, I prefer white hair. Kisara... is an accident.""?"A question mark slowly appeared over Kisara's head. How did she become an accident?"But let me remind you, office romance is prohibited in this store.""Don't worry, boss~ I understand~"Elysia's tone was full of cheer. The pink-haired goddess she had seen earlier had just given her world more time to survive. When the first and second rounds of Honkai Eruptions occurred, she planned to use the Herrscher power to study ways to fight against the Herrscher within fifty years."As a newcomer, you should learn the work process from the senior staff, as well as the rewards and gameplay of various games. These are things you need to understand. As for time allocation, it’s up to you."When working, the time ratio may differ, but after work, the time ratio becomes normal. Elysia needs to find a balance between understanding her work and her real life.Generally speaking, the trade-off isn't hard. Stay one night and go home the next, just treat it as a sleep.Liu Yuan didn't care about what the employees thought. However, looking at Elysia's appearance and temperament, he had a feeling the fourth branch might be very popular in the future.While he was thinking, Kisara approached and whispered, "Did I do something wrong? Why do I feel like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?""It's not a big problem, as long as you're not robbed. Besides, our store prohibits employees from having office romances.""What about you?""You said I was the boss."Liu Yuan flashed a mysterious smile. "You called me the boss, so I’m naturally not an employee.""As expected of you! Wonderful, so wonderful!"Jibril took a Coke from the front desk and asked while drinking, "What's so wonderful?""Nothing, go play!""Oh!"At this point, Jibril's body had not fully recovered. She felt her young body was fun—able to fit into places in the game where bigger bodies couldn’t. But now, she had met her nemesis."What a cute girl~"Jibril felt her feet leave the ground, and her brain's IQ seemed to go off the charts. She wanted to struggle, but Elysia's embrace was too warm, and her tone so gentle, so wonderful~Elysia interacted with the other girls like an ordinary girl. Her fairy-like personality quickly blended into the group, even bringing Kisara into it. At the same time, she began trying games at the Internet cafe.But while playing, she found herself deep in thought. There were so many games; she didn’t know which to pick.Kisara came over and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Don't know what to choose?""Do you have any suggestions?"When Kisara heard this, she became very professional and recommended a game to Elysia. "I suggest Elden Ring, because the Mimic Tear here can copy your abilities to fight. The combat level of this game is very high. As long as you can't blow up a planet with one shot, even gods will fall. If you want to understand more about human nature, then play Red Alert: Mental Omega. Yuri is your best teacher."Kisara kept explaining. She had basically played all the games at the Internet cafe and knew all the hidden achievements, information, and corresponding upgrades.Since Elysia was sitting on a stool and was also a girl, and despite the previous misunderstanding, Kisara became very serious once the game started."You’re so cute when you’re serious.""?"At that moment, Kisara realized something was wrong with the girl in front of her! She was trying to steal Liu Yuan from her!That's right. In Kisara's eyes, Elysia was trying to steal Liu Yuan, even if she liked sweet girls.The logic was simple: anyone who tried to separate her from Liu Yuan was trying to steal him from her!Even though Kisara knew Liu Yuan wasn't particularly popular, that didn't matter—she liked him."Pfft~ You’re so cute. What are you using? You smell so good?""I don’t use anything! Just body odor.""Really?""If you don’t believe me, smell it."Liu Yuan sighed. Kisara’s naivety exceeded his expectations. He thought she could hold out for a while, but she fell for it immediately.Elysia played for a while and entered the game world. Following Kisara and everyone’s advice, she decided to play Red Alert."My dear Proselyte, is there anything else I can do for you?"Looking at the bald man in front of her, Elysia fell into silence.Could this person really solve her doubts? He was just an ordinary person, right?But with a “try-it” attitude, she shared her thoughts."Save the world? Herrschers are coming? If it’s just the extent of what you described, I have some simple solutions."After hearing Yuri’s plan, Elysia’s eyes widened.After listening to Yuri's explanation, Elysia understood.Yuri didn't give any technology or unrealistic solutions. His explanation was simple.Technology climbing!At the same time, she finally understood why Kisara recommended this game. The technology in this game... was too abnormal.Not to mention the paradox engine and hyperspace transmission. These two, working together, would allow one to travel the universe at will.And the most terrifying part? These things could be made with Earth resources.If the resources of the entire world were gathered, hyperspace could be built across the galaxy, and the paradox engine could be built thousands of times over.But Elysia didn't understand one thing—why, with such high technology, the countries in the game were still fighting on the ground?After Red Alert, Elysia moved on to other games. At first, it seemed fine, but when she played, she was shocked.From being unable to do anything before, she now felt like she could do anything.Mods from Minecraft, and Terraria, spaceships from Titanfall, and the Super Earth Fleet from Helldivers.Ultraman, robot dolls, and space battleships.These were the technologies in her world that could achieve these feats. Additionally, there were demons, various magic, combat skills, and unscientific powers.Elysia felt she should study hard after work.---Chapter 389: Madoka-senpai and Sakura KinomotoElysia encountered vast amounts of knowledge and power that she had never seen before, especially Yuri's teachings, which helped her understand what she should do.Fifty years may sound like a short time, but such a long period is enough for the people in her world to complete a technological explosion.She was eager to see the expression on Finality's face when it woke up and saw a completely different world.Elysia was playing a game when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder."Boss, what's wrong?""It's time. The store will open soon. Do you want to prepare?""Then boss, do we have uniforms here?"Liu Yuan looked Elysia up and down. She was wearing ordinary clothes, so it didn't matter whether she changed or not."Your branch has a lounge where you and the employees can shower, change clothes, and rest. Do a good job on your first day.""I will definitely not let the boss down~"Elysia smiled brightly, but her expression faltered when she saw Kisara nearby.Yes! Originally, Liu Yuan wanted Kisara to call Elysia. However, Kisara remembered what happened when she taught her how to use the computer and guided her to play games.Did Elysia said she smells good? Eh!! That's terrible! Only the boss has the right to say that to her.Now, she's no longer worried about her husband being stolen. What she fears now is that she might unintentionally lead her astray.She already guessed Hitomi's plan. She had someone seduce her?It's a pity, though, she will fail because she’s already the boss’s woman!Proud of herself, she followed Liu Yuan and Elysia to the new store."Boss~ What can I do~"Elysia’s voice was full of energy and a hint of mischief. Her personality and appearance were bound to make her very popular.Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't have much to do on weekdays. You've played games before, so try inviting guests. Kisara and I will help you finish up.""Then I'll trouble the boss and Kisara-senpai~""..."Kisara shuddered. She was glad the woman in front of her was a addicted to girls. She was even more relieved that she came early and half-heartedly expressed her feelings. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how she’d lost.Maybe by the time her feelings for Liu Yuan fully awaken, she’ll be gone."Ah! Thank you, the almighty boss!"Kisara didn't know whom to thank, but it was right to thank their boss.At eight o'clock, a lively voice came from the room."I'm here~"Looking closely, wow, it’s Madoka-chan!"God..."Just as Elysia was about to speak, Madoka waved her hand. "You're welcome. My name is Kaname Madoka, just call me by my name.""Madoka-senpai?"Madoka felt something was wrong, but after thinking for a moment, she waved her hand dismissively.Liu Yuan asked curiously, "Why did you come here by yourself? Abandoned your girlfriend?""No, I separated a part of my humanity and brought it here. Elysia is awesome~ Hehe~"The Law of Cycle usually divides its attributes when surfing the internet, like letting its human side surf. After seeing Elysia, however, she separated another part of her humanity.Such an interesting girl, she wants to watch her grow slowly.Of course, when needed, she will help this girl.It's just that because she divided her humanity too much, her current state is... her personally let loose?"Boss~ Turn on the computer, hehe~ Forget it, it's okay if it's not turned on. The other me is playing games, so I'll just watch here."Elysia asked, "Madoka-senpai, do you want to eat something?""Me? No need to eat, I have super dishes made by Little Master here! Hey, where are my dishes?"Kisara lowered her head to look for them, and whispered to Liu Yuan, "Is she...""Oh! I asked about her original body, and it seems there is indeed a problem. But her humanity isn’t wrong, just a little... free..."This is more than freedom. Compared to Madoka in the first branch, this is just letting loose, like a train derailed into the sea.The divinity of the Law of Cycle is completely gone...But it’s not a big problem. For the Law of Cycle, it’s easy to have more clones for fun.She is managing all the parallel worlds and timelines in the world, so what’s wrong with having a clone to have fun? She's not without work.By the way, the main reason Madoka-chan didn’t get the dishes made by Little Chef was that all the dishes were with the main body...There was no choice; Madoka-chan could only buy some food, which was a small issue.Just as Madoka-chan got on the plane, the door of the room was pushed open again.At the door, a girl in a school uniform with short brown hair looked around in confusion."Where is this...?"Looking at the little girl who suddenly appeared, Elysia was excited.This internet cafe is really amazing. Not only did it help me solve the crisis, but it also allowed me to meet so many cute and beautiful girls.Elysia took out a lollipop from somewhere, squatted down, and handed it to Kinomoto Sakura, introducing herself. "Sister, my name is Elysia~ Little sister, what's your name?""My name is Kinomoto Sakura. May I ask where this is? I remember... I was sleeping."Elysia leaned closer to Kinomoto Sakura, smelled the fragrance left on her body after her bath, and whispered, "This is the four-dimensional space Internet cafe, Sakura. Do you want to try it here?""No, I'm going to sleep, and I have to go to school tomorrow."Elysia reached out and gently stroked Kinomoto Sakura's hair. "One hour here is equal to one minute in your world~ That means you can play for twelve hours before bed~ Only twelve minutes have passed.""Really?""This Big Sister never lies, especially to cute little girls.""Great~"Liu Yuan introduced, "For example, she looks very young, but remember to test whether she's an adult.""Hey? Doesn’t our store not accept minors?"Liu Yuan nodded. "If the system says they're a minor, they won't be accepted. If the system says they're an adult, they will be accepted. After all, there are so many worlds, and we can’t determine a customer's age. Many races may be considered adults after thousands of years, and some after just a few days. We cannot discriminate."Elysia nodded in understanding. Kinomoto Sakura wanted to state her age, but when her little hand was placed on the card reader and it displayed "adult," Elysia fell silent, as did Kinomoto Sakura.Liu Yuan said calmly, "Remember! If it says you're an adult, you are an adult. It's an invincible age detection machine."Chapter 390: Hermione's Appearance (Updated)Everyone was silent, and Kisara patted Elysia on the shoulder. "You haven't played MC, but if you had, you'd know this is called a feature. Just use the feature."Elysia nodded. After all, even the gods had seen it, so it wasn’t unacceptable to have a few strange features.But when Sakura Kinomoto saw the price of Internet access, she was dumbfounded."This price is so expensive... Sorry, sister, I might not be able to afford it."At this moment, Madoka-chan suddenly appeared. "It's okay! I'll treat you!"Not only Madoka-chan, but even Madoka Mari, the original body, sensed that Sakura Kinomoto was unusual.Now, Madoka envied Liu Yuan's luck even more. The store manager of the branch was great, and the new customer was even more interesting.With such strong magical talent, becoming a magical girl was definitely top-tier. Such a good seedling must not be missed.Thinking this, Madoka-chan directly invited Sakura Kinomoto to go online. "Sakura! Come! I'll take you to play games. I'm super strong!"However, when she opened LOL, she fell into silence. Looking at the login information of her account, she remembered she had been playing LOL.Looking at her record, my goodness, she died like a ball.1-23-23Forget it, this record was too embarrassing. Let’s play something else with this girl.But what to play? Madoka’s eyes lit up!"Sakura! Today, sister will take you to play an interesting game.""Huh?"Sakura blinked, and saw Madoka open the game Noita and introduce it: "This is a game where you learn magic. By playing it, you can master all kinds of interesting magic.""Magic? Can I?""Of course, because you are Sakura!""Hehe~"Kinomoto Sakura smiled embarrassedly, but she found the sister in front of her very interesting. She decided to trust what the big sister said and play the game."Some time ago, someone made an online mod for this game. Come! I’ll teach you how to download the mod, and we can play together. Let me teach you some real magic!""Okay!"At the front desk, watching their interaction, Elysia showed an envious expression. She also wanted to interact with the cute girl. Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Kisara.Kisara’s body trembled, and she lowered her head to crack melon seeds, pretending she didn’t see anything.Liu Yuan smiled and teased, "Look at how scared you are. I'm afraid she'll have to stay three meters away from you from now on?""Am I scary? I’m obviously a beautiful girl too!""Indeed, most people can't help themselves when they see you. I’m now wondering if hiring you was the right choice."Elysia patted her chest. "It was definitely the best choice for you, boss, in your life.""I don’t know if it’s the best choice, but I know... this store might not be peaceful in the future."Just imagine how Elysia, who likes beautiful girls, would get close to a customer when she sees that the customer is a beautiful girl. He was now considering whether to put up a separate notice in this branch.'If you encounter harassment from employees in the store, please report it to the owner of this store, Liu Yuan, in a timely manner. Just shout out their name.'Thinking of this, he made up his mind that he must have one when there are more girls in the future.With such a quirky guy as the store manager, he was afraid that she would change the customers' preferences.Just when Sakura Kinomoto was playing games with Madoka-chan, the door of the room was pushed open again.This time, the girl who came in was still a brown-haired girl, but unlike Sakura Kinomoto, this girl had long hair, and it looked like her hair was naturally curly.It wasn’t exactly pretty, but it was definitely a look that people liked at first sight.The girl’s name was Hermione, and she looked about the same age as Sakura Kinomoto."Is this... a secret passage?"Hermione looked around in confusion. She remembered that she had been returning from the library, so why did she suddenly appear in such a room?Looking at this room, it didn’t seem to be anywhere in the school."Excuse me, where is this place?"As a student, she immediately asked the big sister in front of her, who looked very special.In Hermione's eyes, the big sister in front of her was really beautiful. Long pink hair, a gentle smile, and those eyes that looked very kind."Here~"At this time, Elysia pretended to be mysterious and said, "This is a mysterious world. Here, you can get everything you want!""Everything? So what’s the price?""Ding ding ding~"Elysia pointed to the screen on the side and said, "It costs a little money~"Hermione looked over, but when she saw the price of Internet access and the price of buying games, her expression froze.The price was too high. She shook her head and prepared to refuse.However, at this moment, Madoka-chan continued to shout, "Boss! I also invited a newcomer, hehe~"For some reason, Liu Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition when he heard those last two words, "hehe."Did Madoka-chan add something when she made a clone? Why did this feel off?"No!"Hermione rejected Madoka-chan's invitation. In her opinion, she could not accept this help.However, as soon as she said no, Liu Yuan spoke directly. "She didn’t let you surf the Internet here for free. This is an investment. If the things here are helpful enough to you, you’ll need to help Madoka-chan in the future. If you don’t want to help, you can pay to repay the favor."Hermione wanted to refuse, but Liu Yuan said directly, "The knowledge, power, and magic of the other world, do you really want to refuse? And one hour here equals one minute in your world. You should understand the value of this time ratio, right?""I..."Liu Yuan continued to tempt her, "And here you can restore your physical strength and energy whether you work or study. No matter what you want to do next, you can be full of energy here."Hermione spoke directly at that moment, with two words of determination written on her face: "I agree."She looked at the price. It was very expensive. If it was consumed every day, it might reach an astronomical figure.But at the same time, she also understood that time was valuable.At most, she could only go to school for one hour a day, and then spend the remaining eleven hours reading and studying.Thinking of this, she made up her mind.And Elysia looked at Liu Yuan. "Boss, you seem like an evil boss...""Me? I’ve always been one! Don’t you know? All bosses are evil capitalists, and they all want to be hung on street lamps."And Elysia teased, "Then boss~ I’ll hang you on the street lamp. In this way, Kisara belongs to me, right?"
