Capítulo 15: Chapter 15: Gaming in the Cyber Cafe
"Senpai!!!"
Mash's voice nearby made Fujimaru Kaede, who had just experienced a fierce battle, relax her whole body.
When she turned her head to thank Liu Yuan, he was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? Where did he go? Is it a Dream?"
Fujimaru Kaede shook her head, feeling the real weakness in her body. She did indeed meet the boss just now, but did he run away?
"Senpai, are you okay?"
Mash's voice brought her back to consciousness, and she shook her head. "I'm completely fine!"
"Phew, that's good."
But Fujimaru Kaede noticed that the shield in Mash's hand seemed a bit large!
With such a big shield, it must provide excellent defense, right?
Feeling Fujimaru Kaede's intense gaze, Mash awkwardly introduced, "This is..."
Mash recounted what had happened on her end. In a moment of danger, she encountered a Heroic Spirit and became a Demi-Servant. So far, she still didn't know who that Heroic Spirit was.
Everyone was now gathering at a school, preparing to rest for the night and be fully prepared to resolve this singularity the next day.
On the other hand, Liu Yuan, having ensured Fujimaru Kaede's safety, went straight back to the cyber cafe.
As soon as he returned, he saw Kisara holding two boxes of instant noodles, slurping on them while opening his saved files.
"Hey, the braised beef is mine, right?"
Liu Yuan directly pulled his portion over. Just as he was about to eat, Kisara widened her eyes and explained, "Boss, umm... I already ate that..."
"Huh?"
Liu Yuan questioned, "Do you have a contagious disease?"
Kisara shook her head hastily.
"Then do you have OCD?"
Kisara shook her head again.
"If I'm not disgusted, what are you disgusted by? Don't tell me you think this is a way to indirectly kiss? Rest assured, I won't use the fork you used. That scenario doesn't exist."
Liu Yuan casually took out a pair of chopsticks and started slurping his noodles.
He didn't eat seafood-flavored noodles for a simple reason: back in the day, he ate instant noodles for a whole month just to spend money. And to save money, he bought them by the box, and coincidentally, they were all seafood-flavored.
Kisara breathed a sigh of relief, focusing her attention back on the game.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuan ate his noodles and watched Kisara play the game. She had already completed the Resident Evil 2 game version in a week, and now she was playing the Realism mode.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that even in this state, I could still use my power. To devour memories, to gain strength, but it's a pity it's only the power within the game."
"Don't laugh. If the game lets you use that power, it only proves... your power might not be as good as firearms."
"..."
Originally prepared to dominate everything, Kisara froze.
On the screen, she wore a black dress and held a pink blade, expressionless as she looked at the zombies ahead.
As if to prove something, she struck, and the zombie's head flew off.
After completing this action, she swaggered into the convenience store. Having played through both storylines, she had memorized all the plots.
Plus, after speedrunning a few times, she felt she could still use her own power in the real mode. Wasn't it easy?
However, as soon as she entered the convenience store and pushed open the door, a zombie pounced on her.
"What?"
She raised her hand to strike, but her blade got stuck in the door frame. By the time she tried to pull out her gun, it was too late, and she was bitten on the arm by the zombie. Infected with the T-virus, she succumbed in less than a few minutes.
"Pfft."
"Boss, are you laughing at me?"
"Couldn't help it, sorry. *Cough cough cough!*"
"I told you, if the game lets you use it, it means this power won't affect the gaming experience. Oh, I forgot to tell you something."
"?"
"When you play games, the difficulty level is set by the system to take care of your gaming experience, giving you HP Healing items.
In the real mode, Leon and Claire, except for the injuries they must suffer in the plot, otherwise, they will complete the game unscathed."
"Huh?"
Kisara shook her head incredulously. "Impossible, whether it's the Tyrant or William, I can't complete the game unscathed even at full power. Is this a game setting? Are they set to complete the game unscathed?"
"That's the truth, so in the real difficulty, you can't get bitten by any zombies to complete the game. Also, have you heard a saying?"
"What?"
"At seven paces, the gun is faster."
"Within seven paces, the blade is faster, right?"
"No! Within seven paces, the gun is both faster and more accurate."
"..."
Kisara felt somewhat unwilling, but thinking about the situation in the game, she had to admit that it wasn't wise to rely solely on close combat.
In the game, her power had no restrictions, but her physical strength was limited to Claire's level. If she got bitten or heavily injured or poisoned, she could very likely die.
"Darn it! Let's try again."
Although it was the real difficulty, the save function was still available. However, if she loaded a save file, the ultimate achievement could not be completed. Liu Yuan remembered that completing the Resident Evil 2 real mode without any saves would reward a special rocket launcher with infinite ammo.
Thinking about the time it would take to complete the perfect run, Liu Yuan thought he could try it sometime. It was indeed difficult, but with a few more attempts, it wasn't impossible.
The only difficulty was completing certain tasks at specific times. Perfect completion didn't refer to the protagonist completing the storyline but rather going through all the storylines the protagonist should go through and ensuring that the impact on the future game timeline after completing the game was less than 0.5%.
It was challenging, but not impossible.
The next morning, Liu Yuan, as usual, got up, tidied up, had a quick breakfast, and arrived at the front desk at 7:58.
By this time, Kisara had already logged off. Although there was a system maintenance machine that updated every day, as a clerk, Kisara was not a freeloader.
Following Liu Yuan, she went through the machine maintenance, checked the ground, windows, and snack reserves, and waited for the opening.
Looking at the time, there were still two minutes left, and Kisara couldn't help but yawn.
"Ah~"
"Did you stay up all night?"
"No! This time, I slept early and got up early!"
"Slept at 5 in the morning and got up at 6?"
"You found out~"
"How's the progress?"
"It's tough, advancing while saving. I've reached the police station."
"How many failed endings?"
"Not many, about one every twenty minutes on average."
"It's okay, that's how the real game mode difficulty is. Why do you think Mr. Keeeeneeedy is so good?"
"Mr Keeeeneeedy?"
"Wait until you play the fourth generation, and you'll know why I call him that."
"This riddler, annoying."
As the two chatted and bantered, the cyber cafe reopened.
All current members of the cyber cafe and those who wanted to continue using the internet received notifications of the cyber cafe's reopening.
In the mansion, after waking up from bed and looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar sisters in front of him, Subaru took a deep breath. Just as he was about to challenge his ability again, he received the notification of the cyber cafe's reopening.
In Konoha Village, after completing a series of tasks, Minato received the notification and glanced at the time. After confirming there were no other tasks, he directly used the Flying Thunder God to return home. This time, he would go fully armed to explore this cyber cafe. Only after ensuring there was no danger would he bring his beloved in.
Inside the singularity in Fuyuki City, Fujimaru Kaede glanced at the time, realizing there was still half an hour before the agreed departure time.
Considering the time ratio between online and her world, she decided to go back again.
She wanted to ask Liu Yuan if there was any way to quickly improve her strength by twelve hours. Without any improvement, she couldn't shake off the feeling of trepidation.
