After the mission was completed, twenty-four new computers were added, bringing the internet cafe's total computer count to fifty-four.
Fortunately, Ge Liang spent money every day to expand the internet cafe's space; otherwise, there would truly be nowhere to put the twenty-four sudden extra computers.
Even so, with so many extra computers, the internet cafe looked more crowded overall than it did before the event.
"It seems I need to 'manage' the internet cafe for a while this time. I can't complete the missions so quickly anymore."
Actually, Ge Liang couldn't complete the mission quickly even if he wanted to.
The amount required for this mission is 100 million Ryo, which has doubled directly.
Considering the current clientele of the internet cafe in Konoha and their financial capabilities, unless Hiruzen Sarutobi lifts the restrictions on Chunin and Genin, completing this mission will genuinely take a lot of time.
Since rapid Rank-up is impossible, I can only properly 'build' up the internet cafe.
Currently, expanding the internet cafe's space is the most urgent matter, followed by adding more Training Rooms.
To be honest, three Training Rooms are indeed too few.
Although not many people currently use the Training Room, preferring to Cultivate in reality, they might be needed at any time. If I wait until the last minute to build them, it will definitely affect the overall planning of the internet cafe.
In Ge Liang's plan, the internet cafe's space must be spacious, and the number of Training Rooms must be no less than ten.
"I'll leave it at this for now."
After making a rough plan, Ge Liang entered his favorite segment: the game choice of three.
resident evil 1 and the king of fighters 97 have been mentioned previously, so they will be skipped now.
The main focus now is the new game, starcraft.
Like diablo ii, starcraft is also a game developed by Blizzard.
Unlike diablo ii, starcraft is an RTS, or Real-Time Strategy game.
In the game, the player takes on the role of a commander who must not only direct troops in combat but also build up the rear base to ensure logistics can keep up with the demands of war.
When he was on Earth, starcraft was Ge Liang's favorite RTS game.
To play this game well, he studied it very diligently for a long time.
Things like Carpet Bomb Airdrops, Alliance Scams, and Matrix Lightning... he knew them all.
However, starcraft is a game that is very demanding of APM (Actions Per Minute), also known as "hand speed."
Most top players have an APM of over three hundred, with only a handful not reaching that number.
Naturally, Ge Liang had no intention of becoming a professional player, but his hand speed was genuinely slow, only a meager one hundred.
With this kind of hand speed, if he wanted to compete with veterans or experts, he could only rely on his strategic overview.
That's right, playing this game well requires not only extremely fast hand speed but also a strategic overview, which is strategy.
Therefore, this game is one that places very high demands on players.
Well, this is referring to ordinary people.
In the Ninja World, even a Genin could manage an APM of over three hundred.
If it were a Jonin, their APM would likely break five hundred.
Of course, this doesn't mean that hand speed is the only requirement for this game; it's just that hand speed is indeed very important.
Ge Liang was now stuck in his period of indecision again.
Leaving resident evil 1 aside, it's just there to make up the numbers.
But he really wanted both the king of fighters 97 and starcraft.
One was the arcade game of his childhood, and the other was a game he diligently studied; he would feel regret no matter which one he chose.
"Alright, since both games are so excellent, I'll first set aside personal factors and think about which game is most suitable for the Ninja World."
Thinking this, the most suitable game for the Ninja World was undoubtedly the king of fighters 97.
Although starcraft also has powerful Psionics, who told the game to have 'Normal Version' written in parentheses afterward?
Those three words, 'Normal Version,' made Ge Liang hesitate.
Why is the internet cafe so popular among so many Jonin? Is it really just because the games are fun?
No!
It's because while playing the games, they can also obtain the methods for Cultivating various Skills (Spells) found within the games.
Completing the Cultivation of these Skills (Spells) allows them to become stronger—that is the reason the internet cafe is popular.
If the game chosen this time is merely fun and doesn't allow them to gain a boost in strength, then does such a game still have meaning?
Perhaps in the Late Stage, after the Ninja World achieves peace, everyone will accept such games, but it seems difficult right now.
Of course, Ge Liang couldn't guarantee that starcraft wouldn't make the Ninja stronger, but this 'Normal Version'... Ge Liang certainly wouldn't dare to gamble on it.
Therefore, the result was obvious: he chose the king of fighters 97... After selecting the game, Ge Liang sighed in relief, then he turned his 'gaze' toward his improved authority.
'Ding~'
'host authority promoted. Current Rank: 3'
'Branch Store unlocked, Employees unlocked, Store gains Mini-Game purchasing rights.'
..."Damn it, it took over a hundred chapters, but I can finally open a branch store."
The matter of branch stores is certain; the book's title explains everything.
This is opening an internet cafe in the Hokage World, not just in Konoha.
Branch stores are a must.
Ge Liang had been dreaming of opening a branch store for a long time. Now, with the Authority Rank reaching 3, the System finally unlocked the permission to open a branch store.
"It's just, why do I feel like something is wrong?"
To open a branch store, site selection and funding are naturally required.
Currently, the capital required to open the first branch store is ten million Ryo.
Well, although the price is a bit high, Ge Liang can accept it.
But the site selection... "Why can't I decide it myself? Why does it have to be determined by a lottery draw?"
"Damn!" (Middle finger emoji)
That's right, Ge Liang cannot decide the location of the branch store himself; instead, he has to draw the address via a lottery wheel, just like choosing the mini-game last time.
Besides this, what's even more ridiculous is that he must obtain permission from the actual controller of the branch store location to successfully open the branch store. Otherwise, even if he has determined the address and spent the money, he still cannot open the branch store.
This is truly ridiculous.
If Ge Liang drew another location, it would be fine, but if he drew Amegakure, he would need Nagato's permission.
Ge Liang knew, without even thinking, that Nagato definitely wouldn't agree to him, a person of unknown origin.
If Nagato refused, but he absolutely had to open a branch store.
If the two couldn't agree, he might have to experience Nagato's 'Carrying Rice' ability.
Confronting the Akatsuki Organization this early certainly doesn't align with his interests.
"So, System Boss, even if I draw Orochimaru's Sound Village, please don't let me draw Amegakure."
"Please!"
After temporarily praying to the System, Ge Liang activated the Large Wheel.
