Yesterday, new customers arrived, and Liu Yuan took the opportunity after closing to add another machine. Now there were eight people and ten machines. Whenever the number of people exceeded ten, he promised three machines would be available every day.
This way, even if new people came, they could manage.
Just as the store opened, Ganyu, who had come for the first time yesterday, walked in with a man.
"Welcome~ Miss Ganyu, are you here to redeem your collateral?"
"Yes, here's the money."
Ganyu placed a small bag of Mora on the counter.
However, as soon as she took it out, her brows furrowed.
The amount of money she found was incorrect. The money prepared by Ningguang not only covered the cost of the software but also left plenty for buying games, animations, movies, novels, and even exceeded the money limit.
But after entering the internet cafe, she only had one billion Mora, which translated to just over one hundred thousand Mora in the internet cafe's currency.
"What's going on?"
She felt nervous. If this money disappeared, it wouldn't just be irresponsible to Ningguang but also to all of Liyue.
Seeing Ganyu's tension, Liu Yuan comforted her, "You're planning to use a large amount of funds, right? Let me explain. The money you use for internet access must be your own. It doesn't matter if you've earned it, stolen it, or it was given to you by someone else. But if someone else gives it to you and you use it for going online, it's no good. However, if you've earned it, you can use it here."
"Is that so?"
Ganyu understood what he meant. The money used here must belong to the individual in all concept. And she probably knew why she could use the one billion Mora.
When she needed money, Ningguang converted three years of overtime pay for Ganyu. This money went through the Liyue government employee's account and counted as a salary. If she were paid according to her position and work content, it wouldn't be enough even for a thousand years of work. This was just a temporary withdrawal.
In other words, she withdrew all the unpaid wages from these years, which was enough to buy games up to the consumption limit. But the problem was, Tengmaru had no money to earn, while Ganyu had money but nowhere to spend it.
Buy food and drinks? She felt it inappropriate to spend money on food and drinks here, especially since she only ate vegetarian food. Buying meat would be very troublesome. Moreover, her appetite wasn't that big.
But it wasn't the time to consider these things. Time waits for no one, and she needed to study immediately.
Ganyu logged onto the computer. She glanced at Zhongli, the guest of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and didn't expect him to come to the internet cafe as well. She didn't think much about it; she just hoped to use the extra time in the internet cafe to complete all her work.
Zhongli took out a deactivated Geo Vision and explained, "I don't have money. Can I use this?"
"Worthless."
"Worthless?"
Zhongli didn't care. He asked, "Can I keep track of expenses?"
"Keep track of expenses?"
It was the first time Liu Yuan had heard such a request, but after consulting the system, he nodded.
"Yes, after keeping track of expenses, the bill will be sent over in a few days. If you don't pay, we'll forcibly deduct it."
"No problem."
Liu Yuan provided paper and pen, and Zhongli calmly wrote down "Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."
He knew all the expenses in the internet cafe, with games costing three hundred thousand Mora and food and drinks starting from twenty thousand Mora.
This price was a bit expensive, but it was acceptable.
Moreover, as the Archon of Liyue, he also needed to understand whether this internet cafe was harmful to Liyue.
Liu Yuan glanced at the unit Zhongli wrote down for the expense. He stuffed it into the cash register, and the system showed no problems. Zhongli's expenses here would be deducted directly from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's bill. The system also guaranteed that the bill would be absolutely genuine, with every expense clearly written.
Just as the payment was completed, Fujimaru Kaede and Jalter walked in.
"Boss~ We're here. Let's see how much these can sell for, huh?"
Upon seeing Zhongli, Fujimaru Kaede's eyes lit up.
There could actually be such a handsome man in the world?
Although Zhongli wasn't the most handsome man she had ever seen, his demeanor coupled with his attire made Fujimaru Kaede a little envious.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to turn on the machine?"
"Yes!"
Fujimaru Kaede hurriedly said, "Before turning it on, boss, let's see how much these are worth."
She and Jalter piled up a large pile of materials and weapons. After calculating, Liu Yuan replied, "This time it's not worth much, but you'll have no problem eating and drinking well for a few days."
This time, they brought in materials worth over two thousand, slightly less than before, but absolutely enough for their luxurious consumption.
The others also entered the internet cafe one after another.
After Zhongli logged on, he observed everything in the internet cafe. According to his judgment, this internet cafe posed no threat to Liyue and wouldn't even incur the opposition of Celestia.
For Liyue, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, and he was also curious about what services this internet cafe could provide.
Through yesterday's experience, Ganyu guessed that the time ratio here was different from reality. Zhongli was even more aware of this difference. Seeing Ganyu come in and start learning spreadsheets and working hard, Zhongli smiled slightly.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze and Kushina entered the internet cafe.
Minato almost defeated Radahn yesterday, and after summarizing his combat experience, he was confident he could defeat Radahn today.
Just as they were about to sit down, they noticed Zhongli's unfamiliar face.
"Hello~"
"Hello."
"It seems like it's your first time here, right?"
"Do you have any recommendations?"
"Recommendations?"
Minato Namikaze didn't expect that one day he would recommend someone to experience games at this internet cafe.
He earnestly said, "If you want to experience a good plot, you can try Resident Evil. If you want to challenge yourself and understand a world, you can try Elden Ring. If you want to relax, Minecraft is very good. Currently, there are only these three games here. The boss said more games will be added in the future."
Kushina added, "Yesterday, the boss added an office software, which is very expensive. If you're not working, I don't recommend it. If you're interested, you can see how I use it. If it feels good, you can buy one. It's really convenient."
After using the spreadsheet tool, Kushina found that this thing could save a lot of work time. Especially after data statistics and calculations, problems could be discovered at a glance.
"Is that so? Can I watch you guys play 'games'?"
Minato Namikaze nodded, "Of course, you can. I'm currently playing Elden Ring. According to the boss, I've recklessly input my own data to start a Realism Difficulty, so it's normal to suffer. After killing a few demigods and increasing my attributes, it will be much better."
Except for his wife, someone else was watching him play.
This time, Minato Namikaze needed to focus ten thousand percent. As a Hokage, he couldn't afford to be humiliated in front of a 'newbie'.
