Bab 16: Chapter 16: Golden Hair Tricks Golden Hair

"Boss! Open a computer, quickly!" Fujimaru Kaede was the first to enter the internet cafe, and her first action was to grab Liu Yuan's hand and drag him to the computer.

"Boss, help me get some awesome weapons and equipment, urgently needed. Otherwise, you won't see me tomorrow."

"Wow, so urgent? No problem, just right, with your progress, you could try your luck at the Mogh's Rune Donation Dynasty."

"Huh?"

Fujimaru Kaede didn't understand what he meant, but according to Liu Yuan's words, she could significantly improve her level. As she opened the game on her end, Subaru walked in behind her.

"Boss, open a computer, and bring another box of instant noodles..."

The food in the internet cafe was expensive, but Subaru didn't care at all.

He discovered a bug, whether it counted as a bug or not. Every time he died, he would receive money which he could use for expenses here, and he would still have that money after respawning.

170+ gold coins per life, not much, but it was a way for him to earn money.

Although he could earn money this way, it was too painful. Unlike dying in the game where there was no feeling, in reality, he felt the excruciating pain from body to soul.

If he could, he didn't want to die. But there was no big problem. He had already figured out a solution...

"Eating instant noodles all the time isn't good. Do you want some sushi?"

"Sushi..."

"Don't worry, it's very cheap~ just the change you have left from going online."

"Sure, I'll have some." It had been a long time since Subaru had eaten hometown food properly.

A few minutes later, Liu Yuan served a plate of salmon sushi, appearing to be a plate, but actually only had two pieces.

"Delicious, huh? Gone already?"

Subaru had already started the game, absentmindedly eating the two delicious pieces, only to find they were already gone.

"Do you want some more?"

"I..." Subaru restrained himself, resisting the urge to ask, "How much is this sushi?"

He had just forgotten about this matter. This store was extremely expensive from inside to outside.

"Not expensive, it's equivalent to one hour of internet fee~"

"Can I take some?"

"Of course."

The price was a bit high, and the portion was small, but considering its taste, Subaru felt it was acceptable. Thinking about the recent hardships he endured, he made up his mind.

"Boss! Give me twenty pieces of salmon sushi."

"Alrighty~" He dared not order randomly, fearing that the price would be too high and he would run out of internet money.

What he was using now wasn't the internet, it was his life!

Today, after raising his level a bit more, obtaining all the equipment he could get, he would take the initiative.

The first time he was mistaken for a thief, the second time he was cursed, and the third time he encountered a strange organization.

Now that he had figured out the 'map' and knew the enemies' attributes, after gaining enough strength today, he would go find those guys and have a chat.

Minato Namikaze was the third one to arrive, and upon seeing Minato Namikaze, who had come here for the second time, Liu Yuan's face lit up with a smile.

He knew that Minato Namikaze would definitely come.

"Boss, open a computer for three hours."

Minato Namikaze calculated the time and found that three hours would have no impact after he left, any longer and it wouldn't work.

Liu Yuan roughly guessed why he only played for three hours, but he felt unethical not to mention the time ratio issue.

He just collected the money, opened the computer, and then in a serious tone introduced, "The computer is activated, go ahead and play."

At the same time, Liu Yuan checked the system tasks, regular customers 3/5. With 21 days left, at this rate, he could accept one more regular customer per week.

As Liu Yuan was happily planning, a newcomer walked into the internet cafe.

Tina Sprout, who had just completed an assassination mission and was lying in bed, found herself not lying on a comfortable bed, but entering a strange shop.

"Customer, please look here."

Liu Yuan's voice caught Tina's attention, and she looked in the direction of the voice, seeing the display screen hanging on the wall, clearly detailing the expenses and rules of the internet cafe.

It was just two points: spend money to use the internet and don't cause trouble while using it.

Tina pinched her face and looked at the time on the wall. The time and humidity of the air around her were completely different from before she went to bed. The environment was not like a normal one at all.

"I didn't bring my bank card, how do I pay?"

Tina had a lot of money in her card, money she earned after completing missions.

But who would bring their card to bed when sleeping?

"Just check your pockets, maybe you have some~"

"Huh?"

In her skirt pocket?

She lowered her head to look, it was not the pajamas she wore before sleeping, but the same skirt she usually wore when going outside.

Where did the money come from didn't matter anymore; it was all a dream anyway. If it wasn't a dream, then she would just relax.

She decided to stop thinking about it.

Thinking seriously about something completely contrary to common sense would make her already not very smart brain even dumber.

Tina felt around in her skirt pocket and indeed found 30 pieces of $100 bills.

"Is this enough money?"

"Enough, let me make you a membership card, with discounts."

Liu Yuan's face lit up with a brilliant smile; this was a wealthy woman, definitely a wealthy woman.

Judging from her demeanor, she should still have a lot money, but she found it too troublesome to give her two cents into it. At this moment, he had to use his subjective initiative as the owner of the internet cafe.

"This guest, it looks like you haven't eaten, would you like to try some of our specialty foods?"

"What... do you have?"

"Please take a look at this~"

Liu Yuan took out a menu, which listed a variety of snacks.

There was only one drawback.

They were expensive.

Drinks were all priced at 20 yuan, but when converted to different worlds and different countries, the amounts were completely different.

But no matter which country's currency it was, it was outrageously expensive.

Snacks were even more expensive, basically several times the market price, and without a certain ability, they couldn't afford it.

"Are these... delicious?"

"Our shop's products are all top-quality; if they're not delicious, you can have your money back."

According to the raw materials and 'labor cost' provided by the system, the total cost was only 0.01 yuan. But now, one cost 20 yuan, a set cost 100 yuan, and with a set of six, you got one more for free.

"So expensive..." This price made Tina hesitate.

Liu Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Expensive naturally comes with its benefits; the materials and craftsmanship are top-notch. You can try a portion; if it's not good, you can have your money back."

Hearing that she could get a refund, Tina decided to try a portion. If it was just average, she would definitely say it was not delicious.

"I'll have a portion."

"Got it~"

In a second, a portion of takoyaki was made. The aroma of the takoyaki in the plate made Tina's mouth water.

"It seems, it's delicious..."

She picked up a toothpick, stabbed one, and put it in her mouth. The delicious taste made her involuntarily close her eyes. This was the first time she had eaten such delicious takoyaki.

"So delicious, I want more..."

"As many as you want."

"Another ten portions."

The price of tens of dollars was indeed very expensive, but with the money in her hand, if she only used it for eating and playing, it would take her several years to spend it all.

"Please take a seat and wait; someone will bring it to you later."

"Okay, thank you..."

Following Kisara's guidance, Tina came to a computer. It looked just like a normal computer, and without much thought, Tina turned it on.

"Elden Ring? Resident Evil?"

She hesitated about which one to choose.

While she was hesitating, Minato Namikaze, who had been observing Tina all along, smiled, "Are you here for the first time, little sister?"

"Um, I don't know, which one is more fun?"

"How about trying Resident Evil?"

"Resident Evil?"

"A game full of family affection."

This sentence seemed to touch something, making Tina, who was feeling a bit drowsy, suddenly alert.

"Family affection? I want to play!"

In fact, Minato Namikaze had only played Resident Evil, and the reason for recommending it was also because of 'family affection'.

He could only come up with this excuse to recommend it, and his idea of recommending it was simple.

He had only played until his wife was killed and his daughter was kidnapped, so he felt angry, but he hadn't experienced where the family affection was...

He needed to know what the experience looked like to others, which was very important to him.

However, Liu Yuan didn't know what Minato Namikaze's state looked like to others, but he knew that this seemingly sunny golden-haired guy also had a knack for fooling people.

Golden retriever meets golden retriever, so why not fool each other?
