I'm just an Internet cafe owner

Liu Yuan looked sideways at Rick: "If you don't pay, she has no money, so I can only ask her out."

Hubie looked at Rick with starry eyes and said, "Rick, please pay. If Hubie can't access the Internet, the contract will not be fulfilled."

"... "

He was obviously a machine-type and not a human being, but Rick felt his heart flutter.

"you!!!"

Rick took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Help her turn on a machine and turn on a red alert."

"Yeah~"

Hubie spun around excitedly and smiled.

The movements are cute and the smile is pretty, but Kisara always feels like something is missing.

They officially turned on the computer and entered the game. Mu Geng came closer to Liu Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Boss, that girl is so strange... her smile and movements give people a fake feeling. Is the city so deep now?"

Liu Yuan looked at Mu Geng: "She is not a human, she is imitating a human now. But I guess you can see her smile that belongs to her in about a year, right?"

"Huh? You know?"

"Guess, because Rick is very happy, and Hubie who is following Rick is analyzing why he is happy. And I guess, Rick must have made some kind of bet with Hubie, and he puts all his confidence in winning on the red alert. in a game.”

After Rick took his seat, he looked at Hubie aside. Just after the store closed yesterday, he found her in the ruins of the elves while exploring.After a series of 'friendly' exchanges, the two made a bet.

As long as Rick can win once in a day, then Hubi will listen to Rick in the future, otherwise Rick will become Hubi's 'trophy'.Humans with brute strength could not defeat the Ex-Machina, but he soon thought of a way.

Games

He first played chess with Hubi, but ended up being tortured to death by Hubi's super high computing power.At this time, he received the notice of the opening of the Internet cafe and invited Hubie to come over and play a special game.

In the Red Alert game, Rick chose a classic confrontation map 'Ice and Snow'.

"This is the game. You are an Ex-Machina. You already know how to operate the game, right?"

"no problem…"

Although it was the first time he came into contact with Red Alert, Hubie directly understood the specific method of playing this game.Build buildings and control soldiers to fight.At the same time, in such a short period of time, she has recorded all the characteristics of each country and the role of different arms.

However, she overlooked one thing.In the real battle mode started by Rick, all soldiers are no longer mere data.In the real battle mode, the system will simulate the most realistic human choices.

At the same time, the decisions of the commanders of both sides will also determine the morale of different soldiers.

This is no longer just a game duel, but the most realistic competition between man and machine under the same conditions.

Chapter 67 Newcomers, Newcomers, and Newcomers (Additional Updates)

This command operation by Rick and Hubie can be called a textbook level. From the beginning of the main base, to the three dogs or three soldiers jointly exploring the road, building bunkers and checkpoints to intercept enemy outposts, quickly bursting out tanks, and infantry and tanks coordinated. The first wave of confrontation.

Rick is from France, and in this game he is pursuing a steady and steady approach, using his understanding of the pattern to gain the advantage.Hubi chose the Soviet army. According to data comparison, after the Soviet equipment was deployed, it was impossible for the Allies to defeat such a small map.Especially once the Iron Curtain comes out, as long as you put your tank on the Iron Curtain, you will be invincible.

The battle begins.

In terms of speed, Rick is slightly inferior. His calculation power and reaction speed are not as fast as Hubi's, and even his point-to-point command ability is weaker than Hubi's.

However, in the real mode, soldiers have morale. The strength of morale and the degree of trust in the commander will affect the final victory.At the same time, the health bar only shows a person's status. The more serious the injury, the lower the morale will be. The lower the morale, the lower the desire to fight. The lower the desire to fight, the lower the possibility of victory with the same force.

For example, on Rick's side, there is no individual combat. Each battle involves several tanks cooperating with infantry, police dogs, and flying soldiers. Although the efficiency is low, it has high safety and execution.Never make any meaningless sacrifices, but when sacrifices are needed, the people who absolutely need them will be left alone instead of having people rush in to give them away.

But Hubi's game is completely digital. According to data calculation, five conscripts and three tanks can capture a stronghold, so he will never send an extra unit.After the judgment of minor injuries is useless, they are directly sent up as sandbags. Damaged tanks are not considered to be repaired, but are directly used as front row to advance forward.

She controlled the battlefield like a supercomputer, but as she continued to fight, she discovered something was wrong.The effect was very obvious at first. All two outposts arranged by Rick were pulled out and three cannons were dismantled.But then, the battle took a turn.Obviously there were more infantry than the other side, but in the end, there were heavy casualties on our side, while the other side only had a few minor injuries.

"What's going on? The data... is wrong."

Gradually, Hubi's economy became worse and worse. After calculation, when it was determined that Hubi was unable to recover, Rick

The base vehicle and several tanks were teleported to a safe location through time and space.

After unfolding, build cannons, barracks, electric fields, and tank factories on the spot.

He only spoke when the cannon was aimed at Hubi's hometown: "You don't understand people's hearts. When you understand people's hearts, you will know why the 'data is wrong'. Checkmate!"

Dozens of tanks surrounded the Hubi base on the left side, and on the right side was the deep artillery array that had just been deployed.At the same time, the lightning storm on Rick's side had also completed charging, and the soldiers were shouting and charging.

Looking at our side, the conscripts have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining tanks have lost their combat awareness.

She didn't understand that from the data point of view, she would not lose, but why would she lose?Is this the human heart?

The purpose of all her actions was to seek "heart". At this moment, she saw the possibility of "heart".

"Hubi, admit defeat. Hubi will be yours from now on. Please treat Hubi gently."

At this moment, Rick felt a chill coming from the abyss, especially behind him. This biting chill made him shiver.

"Ms. Hubie, this is the cleaning fluid package you ordered."

"Thank you."

Hubie took a large bottle of cleaning fluid, bit the straw and drank it in small sips.

"what is this?"

Rick asked, he always had a bad feeling.

"Cleaning fluid is the equivalent of Coke."

"Doesn't she have no money?"

"A certain gentleman said that he would pay for Hubie."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Rick's head, while Hubie blinked and looked at Rick cutely.

At this moment, Rick's inner defense was shattered.

"Rick, do it again."

You don’t have to pay money to surf the Internet in this Internet cafe, but you can also get some valuable things. It happens that Hubi’s memory bank contains some abandoned machines of the Ex-Machina species. If you dismantle these completely damaged machines, you can dismantle some valuable ones. stuff.

Hubi has completely understood how to direct the battle, human heart?She has already recorded the human heart data simulated by the system.But she wondered why people's hearts were so conflicted.He is obviously cowardly but yet brave, he is obviously in conflict yet wants to make contact.

This is very effective data for an Ex-Machina driven by the need to observe the mind.But after the first failure, even if he tried to follow the same pattern, Hubi could still have a close fight with Rick.

Kigen returned to the front desk and asked dissatisfiedly: "Boss, that guy bullied Hubi."

"Bullying? I don't think so."

"How to say?"

"Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

When it comes to gambling, Mu becomes more interested.Thinking about the last time I bet with Liu Yuan, I added more meat dishes and coke for a month after winning. Although the last coke was given away because I asked Liu Yuan for help, at least I got it.

"Well, if I win, you need to recruit twenty new people for me."

"Humph, what if you lose?"

"You said."

Kisara thought carefully, came up with an idea, and began to speak.

"Then all my cokes will be free from now on. Are twenty newcomers worth the price?"

"Not only is it free, I'll also treat you to dessert every day."

"Just wait to lose!"

Kisara could clearly see that it was impossible for two young men with deep hatred and a robot to fall in love if they were of different species.

Seeing Mu Geng's confident look, Liu Yuan also showed a successful smile on his face.Kisara didn't understand human xp, but he understood.

Humans can treat whatever they like as their husbands and wives, but what about robots?He has seen everyone who likes animals.What's more, Hubie is indeed very cute, can a normal human being resist this?impossible.

While the two were chatting here, Natsuki Subaru came over shyly.

Everyone brought others in these days, especially after seeing that Namikaze Minato and Rick could bring cute girls, he was a little envious.

"Boss, um, can I go back now and come in again?"

“During the opening period, feel free to come and go~”

"Okay, thank you boss!"

Natsuki Subaru took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to run out.Looking at his back, Mu Geng couldn't help but complain: "See, this is what it feels like to bring your sweetheart with you."

"That makes sense, but what do you think his sweetheart is like?"

"Where do I go?"

Liu Yuan asked in astonishment: "Aren't you a devil? You can eat people's memories, why can't you see it?"

"Hey, hey, hey, those are my abilities, but they can't be used here! Why don't you guess?"

"I?"

Liu Yuan tilted his head and thought seriously: "If it were me, I would definitely be a little lolita with silver hair and red eyes."

"?"

At this moment, Kisara showed a dangerous expression.But before Kisara could get in, she was stunned when she saw the person Natsuki Subaru had brought.

Silver-haired beauty?Blue-haired maid?etc?Is this kid so lucky?

"It looks like I guessed it right."

Liu Yuan looked into Natsuki Subaru's eyes, and Natsuki Subaru nodded as if he saw the same kind.

Chapter 68 Open the player mall

In Liu Yuan's view, Natsuki Subaru started to attract people, which meant the beginning of a good cycle.When Emilia came here for the first time, Subaru Natsuki didn’t introduce her to a game that was too difficult, but instead

She plays Minecraft together.

She herself didn't understand what was going on, but everyone in the Internet cafe saw it clearly.

No one will reveal this kind of thing, because everyone can see that Emilia is also interested in Natsuki Subaru.

"Tsk, what a pity."

When everyone started playing the game, Liu Yuan made sure that no one could hear the outside sound before he complained softly to Mu Geng.

"What a pity?"

Kisara wiped the cup and asked with some confusion: "Boss, do you think it's a pity for such a beautiful girl to match him? Well! I agree with your idea. I feel that she is just right for you."

Liu Yuan made a fist with his right hand and hit Mu Geng's head with moderate force.

"It hurts!"

"There is no appropriateness or inappropriateness in matters of love. What I'm talking about is that it's a pity for the blue-haired one. Natsuki Subaru is all about Emilia, and this blue-haired one seems to be all about Natsuki Subaru. Tsk tsk , we can eat melon from now on."

"Boss, do you have any melons?"

"That's enough watermelon."

Liu Yuan took out a big watermelon and the two of them looked at it while eating.

More and more newcomers have led Liu Yuan to start researching new games. The Red Alert series is very suitable for everyone to play in their leisure time. Judging from the purchasing desires of members in the Internet cafe, basically for newcomers, this game is a must-buy. .

Firstly, it does not waste time. Secondly, it has a certain competitiveness. Thirdly, it can relax the body and mind. It doesn’t matter how skilled or maneuverable you are in a small area. We know that if you are strong and we target you, you will definitely overturn.This also leads to a lot of uncertainty in this game.

But here’s the problem. Currently, except for Elden’s Ring, which has in-app purchase of resurrection oak, there is no in-app purchase of oak in other games.Like Minecraft, it is possible to add in-game purchases within the game, but it is not necessary.This is a game of absolute freedom. Since there is absolute freedom, players should be allowed to create their own creations.

etc? "

Liu Yuan suddenly realized that since the player created it himself, he could add a mall.

"System, can you create a mall in the Internet cafe so that they can trade the items they obtain?"

The system was silent for a long time before giving an affirmative reply: "Except for some bound items, a mall can be built to provide transactions for players. The handling fee can be adjusted by the boss."

"Okay, there are many ways to get money."

As for the handling fee, Liu Yuan thought about it and decided to charge a [-]% handling fee based on the average level of most games.Because according to the system description, this trading mall uses a system template, which costs nothing, as long as Liu Yuan guarantees that he is not doing charity.

charitable?That's impossible. Liu Yuan's goal is to make less money, but the customers must be secure.For example, if a customer's life is in danger, he must help. After all, only living customers can spend more money.

However, Liu Yuan also roughly understood that there are two types of items that can be traded in the player mall, one is in-game props, and in-game props can only be used in the game.The other is the costumes and props that are actually used.

Players set all prices themselves, and the system only charges a [-]% handling fee.As for maliciously lowering prices?Raise the price?Or stock up?It doesn't matter, if you stock up on any system, you will lose all your money.Moreover, the mall also specifically reminded that if other customers who participate in malicious hoarding of goods will not have a normal gaming experience, Liu Yuan will block them and will never be allowed to enter.

After getting these things done, Liu Yuan went online without even thinking about it.
