Just as Naruto was starting to feel bored, a fireball suddenly flew toward him from the side.
Fortunately, Sasuke called out in time, and Naruto's reaction was quick enough that he barely managed to dodge the attack.
"Damn it, who dares to attack Lord Naruto? I'm going to beat them to death."
Naruto, who had almost been hit by the monster's attack, was furious and looked towards where the fireball had come from.
Well, wouldn't you know it? Standing there was a group of small monsters called Fallen, and among these small monsters was a Fallen Wizard who was noticeably taller than the rest.
The Fallen were short and held spiked clubs and shields, clearly indicating they were melee monsters.
The Fallen Wizard, however, was not only tall but also held a long saber and a bone scepter.
It looked like that fireball must have been launched by this guy.
"Let's go."
After speaking, Naruto took the lead and charged into the crowd of Fallen monsters.
Sasuke's crows and Sakura's magic followed closely behind.
"Are these monsters really that weak?"
Because they had killed many zombies, The Rookie Three's Rank had also increased significantly.
There was no need to mention Sasuke and Sakura; they both had their own plans for allocating attribute points and skill points.
But Naruto, that guy, assigned skill points randomly and only added attribute points to Physique and Strength, fully embodying the concept of 'recklessness.'
While this allocation had many drawbacks, it also had quite a few advantages.
Coupled with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Naruto could now truly take down minor monsters with a single punch.
The Fallen were minor monsters. While Sasuke and Sakura tied down the Fallen Wizard, Naruto faced these Fallen as if he were in a Musou game, utterly brutal.
"Naruto, hurry up and come over! Kill the Fallen Wizard first."
The Fallen Wizard truly lived up to its role as the leader; facing the attacks of Sasuke and Sakura, it kept moving after every shot, adopting a style reminiscent of guerrilla warfare.
Moreover, the most annoying thing about this guy wasn't its 'escape,' but the fact that it could revive the Fallen.
"I was wondering why there weren't fewer Fallen after killing so many. So it can revive these minor monsters."
After learning about the Fallen Wizard's ability, Naruto muttered to himself and then charged forward with powerful strides.
With Naruto and the crows distracting it, Sakura's magic finally found its 'aim.' After several consecutive rounds of attacks, the Fallen Wizard died at their hands.
With the leader dead, dealing with the remaining small ones was much easier.
The Rookie Three used melee combat and magic, quickly clearing out the group of minor monsters.
Although the Fallen monsters weren't particularly tough, they gave the trio the pleasure of fighting in a Musou style.
At this moment, the three also felt that this game wasn't so bad after all... While The Rookie Three were playing diablo, Ge Liang was also thinking about how to improve the internet cafe and enhance the customers' gaming experience.
This seemed a bit difficult, though. After all, he couldn't completely control the internet cafe, and if he wanted to add a game, he had to rely on the System's 'mood.'
However, aside from the core part—the games—could he perhaps implement something non-core to assist his services?
Ge Liang hadn't been thinking about doing this for just a day or two.
Ever since the System Mall allowed purchasing items from legend of sword and fairy 1, he had wanted to create an online shopping software.
That way, when customers opened the software on their computers, they would know what he had for sale, and if they saw an item they liked, they could buy it from him simply by paying.
Unlike now, where he had to promote things like a salesman if he wanted to sell something.
The problem was, he didn't even know what the customers wanted to buy.
He was lucky he had been clever enough to promote a batch of magic sword back then, or else the customers wouldn't have known they could buy things from him at all.
"System, let's negotiate. Can you create a shopping software?"
Ge Liang wasn't sure if the System had intelligence, but trying was always good, and it didn't cost him anything anyway.
If it succeeded, great. If it didn't, it would just be a waste of breath.
Perhaps the System couldn't tolerate Ge Liang's long-term harassment, because this time, the System actually replied to Ge Liang.
'Ding! host's suggestion received.'
'host's suggestion is reasonable and approved.'
"Huh?"
Ge Liang himself was just trying his luck; he never expected to succeed. After all, he had been harassing the System for a long time without any response. He didn't know what bug it had caught this time, but it actually agreed.
This made Ge Liang feel that the System must have 'intelligence' and usually just didn't want to bother with him.
Otherwise, how could this current situation be explained?
"Thank you, great System!"
With the shopping software, the diverse items in his mall would be much easier to sell.
This, in turn, would make completing his mission much easier.
"What is going on..."
Just as Ge Liang happily entered the software named 'Internet Cafe Shopping,' he suddenly realized that his internet cafe's funds had drastically decreased, leaving him with only slightly over a million taels.
"Holy crap, System, you're too ruthless! It's just a piece of software, yet you charged twenty-five million taels..."
Watching the mission progress bar, which had previously been halfway full, suddenly shrink to almost nothing, Ge Liang almost had a mental breakdown.
"It's fine, I still have the software. Stay calm..."
Stabilizing his emotions, Ge Liang entered the shopping software.
The interface was very rudimentary, currently featuring only two major options: legend of sword and fairy 1 and diablo ii.
Below these two major options were smaller sub-options.
It was quite similar to the interface Ge Liang used to access the System Mall.
Not only was the interface similar, but the selling prices were exactly the same as those in the Mall.
"This won't do."
He created this software primarily to make money. If the items inside were the same price as the System Mall, what profit would he make?
Without hesitation, he immediately began modifying the prices of the items inside.
He directly increased them tenfold compared to the System Mall.
"Now this feels right!"
Looking at the items in the mall, Ge Liang felt that as long as he revived the internet cafe's business, he could just sit back and collect money.
Ninja, after all, could only earn money by taking missions.
High-reward missions naturally meant high risk.
Both games contained numerous life-saving items, such as Medicinal Pill that restored health, and Random Movement Scrolls that allowed for escape.
With the existence of these items, Ge Liang wasn't worried about making money.
After thinking it over, Ge Liang decided that these life-saving items shouldn't be sold too expensively. Otherwise, if all the money earned from a mission went toward buying life-saving items, would customers have any leftover money to play games or use the Training Room?
Small profits but quick turnover, and putting people first—that was the key to success.
Thinking this, Ge Liang quickly re-entered the shopping software and revised the prices of life-saving items like Medicinal Pill and random scrolls.
"From ten times to two times the original price, I truly am a conscientious merchant."
