I'm an Internet Cafe Owner?

"Boss! Boss!"

"Here, what's up?"

Liu Yuan glanced at the two people's computers; both were hesitating in the character selection interface.

"Do you have any recommendations for Classes?"

"Profession? If you want realism, go for the Wretched; if you want it a bit easier, I recommend the Vagabond. In the early stages, having a shield can make you very strong. Plus, you can bring some of the game's skills into real life."

This statement stirred Subaru's heart. He remembered vividly being killed by someone called the Bowel Hunter. But if he could bring the skills from the game into real life, wouldn't it be easy to capture the Bowel Hunter?

Guys of this age are somewhat passionate. Once they have a goal, they go for it directly.

So Subaru chose the Vagabond. He put on a suit of armor and added a shield, sword, and spear to his hands. As for Fujimaru Kaede, she went straight for Wretched start to experience joy.

During the character creation process, both chose their own appearances to enhance their sense of immersion.

"Choose whatever items you want; you won't be lacking in the late game."

"That's enough. Let's enjoy the game."

After a series of operations, the two entered the game, experiencing the true shock brought by Elden Ring at that moment.

Message from the falling leaves:

On the other side of the mist, our home "Lands Between," where the great Elden Ring had been shattered.

Upon opening the game, they witnessed true shock: The Shattering, battles of demigods, awakening of the Tarnished, the Dung Eater, and the awakened Deathbed Companion.

Future? Dreams? Conflicts? Everything was witnessed in just a few minutes of real experience. In just a few minutes, they immersed themselves in this world and became a "Tarnished."

"Where is this?"

Subaru looked around in confusion. He remembered Transmigrating, being slashed, Transmigrating again, being forcibly pulled away by a machine, and then Transmigrating again?

"Don't worry, this game is just a realistic experience. You're just an ordinary gamer."

"Is this... a game?"

"Yes! Don't believe me? Look, you have a UI, an inventory bar. Have you heard of VR games? This is a more advanced real experience device than VR. Oh, by the way, you can adjust your sense of pain to better experience the game."

At Liu Yuan's reminder, Subaru found the system ui. Sensory adjustment, realism adjustment. Like a normal game, there were many adjustable parameters. Realism adjustment, in simple terms, was difficulty adjustment. The simpler it was, the more it resembled a game, and the higher it was, the more realistic it became.

In the game state, enemies had a detection range, but in the Realism Mode, there was no such thing as a detection range. As long as you entered the area, all your actions would be discovered. Moreover, in the Realism Mode, the enemies' attack speed was more ferocious, and the damage you received was more fatal.

"How interesting!"

As she experienced the game, Kaede praised, "A very realistic game, the oppression brought by this fog feels so real."

"As long as you like it."

Liu Yuan smiled, because he knew that their smile wouldn't last long.

After the system modification, not only did the opening animation become longer, but also...

Different from Subaru adjusting the realism to the lowest, Kaede directly adjusted it to the highest, experiencing all the damages realistically. However, the so-called realistic experience in terms of pain was only about seventy percent, and players wouldn't face the concept of death.

When playing this game, all players knew that they were immortal and could be resurrected.

But well, resurrection came with a price, ten yuan each time. Ten yuan in Liu Yuan's world, converted to Japanese yen, was one hundred yen.

It didn't seem like much?

But Liu Yuan knew very well that apart from some plot deaths that didn't require money to resurrect, just the opening alone was enough to make them spend all their money.

Not willing to pay? It's okay, just wait for ten seconds.

"What's this? Furcalling Finger's Remedy?"

The two entered a mysterious room one after the other and picked up a curved finger with bloodstains on it from a corpse.

The realistic sensation brought by the five senses made Subaru uncomfortable, but Kaede was unusually excited, "This texture is amazing, boss, what's this for?"

"You can use it to leave some messages."

"Really?"

Kaede immediately used the finger to leave a message underfoot.

'Items ahead'

When she tried to use it, she found that this thing could only leave simple messages, like items ahead, no items ahead, and some interesting actions.

"Interesting. So interesting."

Kaede, as if she had discovered a new world, took a few steps with the finger to leave a message.

After getting tired of playing, she pushed open the door, ready to embrace a new world. Just as she reached the edge of the cliff, she wanted to try jumping off. But it seemed like there was an invisible wall at the edge of the cliff, blocking her actions.

"So boring, this game isn't free at all."

"It's just temporary. After the novice tutorial, it will be a truly free world."

A vast and realistic world, like a background story experienced firsthand, made the two start exploring this world.

The novice tutorial was very short. The two almost simultaneously arrived at the first location and stood in front of an empty square.

In the center of the square, there was a statue. According to the story background, this woman with open arms, imprisoned, was the deity of this world, "Marika."

The desolate environment and oppressive atmosphere made the two feel their hearts pounding as they played the game together. It felt like if they took one more step forward, they would encounter terrible enemies.

But just as they were about to enter the square, a message on the ground caught their attention.

'Enemies ahead'

They didn't know who left the message, but the information about enemies ahead instantly relieved them.

Behind them, Liu Yuan had been watching their actions. When he saw them almost simultaneously noticing his own messages and walking into the square, he couldn't help but smirk.

Especially when they encountered the first "enemy," a monster with dozens of arms descending from the sky, it was a welcoming gift to all players.

Grafted Scion

Recalling the state of trying to play this game a few days ago, he was really scared by the sudden appearance of this boss.

"Enjoy the game."

Liu Yuan returned to the cashier counter. He didn't need to see what happened next; he just needed to sit there and collect money.

A few dozen seconds later.

"Help! What is this? Why isn't it taking damage when I hit it? Don't hit me, don't hit me, help!"

Kaede's shout made Liu Yuan chuckle.

At the moment of death, Kaede took off her glasses.

"You damn network manager, you're laughing, aren't you? You definitely are."

Liu Yuan looked at her expressionlessly. "How could I laugh at a customer? Miss, you've entered the storyline."

"Damn it!"
