"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Su Li pointed at the growing crowd in line and began his PUA method, "System, look at these people in line. Aren't they all potential customers waiting to be developed by our Internet cafe? As long as our Internet cafe vacates seats, they can recharge their Internet fees and use the computers immediately, bringing profits to our Internet cafe?"

system:"……"

"Since they will definitely pay, can I use this 'money that will definitely be earned in the future' to purchase the [Primary Internet Cafe Subspace Expansion Service] in advance?"

That’s right, Su Li’s idea was to fool the system so that he could overdraw [money earned in the future] to pay for [high-priced consumption now].

"...[Pre-consumption] is a wrong value." The system finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hey! It's just one or two days of operating income, it can't be considered as excessive consumption, right?"

"Exceeding by one minute is still exceeding, but consuming ahead of time is not acceptable. Host, just give up on this idea."

After uttering this sentence, the system fell silent again. No matter what Su Li said afterwards, the system did not respond.

"Well, it seems that fooling the system won't work."

Su Li, who failed to take advantage of the system, looked at the long queue of people that was almost lining up the street, and he had no idea of ​​a solution for the moment.

He also considered whether he should borrow some money from Qin or Lisa, expand the Internet cafe space first, and then pay them back after making money.

But if he hadn't reached the point of being 'at the end of his rope', Su Li really didn't want to ask a woman for money.

After all, people always like to save face.

"Well, let's just leave it like this for now. Anyway, these people in the queue won't die if they go online a day or two later."

"Even if something unpleasant happens in the queue later, I can directly add the person at fault to the Internet cafe's blacklist, which can be regarded as a solution..."

After thinking hard for a long time without any results, Su Li finally chose to give up.

……

At the entrance of the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

"Don't worry, Jean. We will seize the time to upgrade this time, and strive to get more first-hand information about the dragon disaster as soon as possible." After cleaning up the [Guardian of the Four Winds] temple and returning to the Knights Templar to report to Jean, Lisa was the first to walk out of the Knights Templar gate and made a promise to Jean who stopped behind her and watched her go.

"Then I'll leave everything to you, Lisa." Jean spoke softly as she looked at Lisa, who looked a little tired. If the information about the dragon disaster was not related not only to Mondstadt's safety, but also to the 'test' of Mondstadt by Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, she really couldn't bear to let Lisa go out to clean up the [Guardian of the Four Winds] temple early in the morning and rush to the Internet cafe without a break even after completing the task.

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Lisa stretched lazily, not feeling at all that it was a chore to go online without a rest. "If there's nothing else, Kaia and I will go to the Internet cafe first."

"Okay... right!" Qin suddenly thought of something and looked at Lisa a little embarrassedly. "Today I asked Noel to take the new members of the Knights to hand out flyers on the street, but until now, they haven't come back to report to me... If possible, Lisa, in addition to helping me check where Noel and the others went, can you also help me check... How is the customer flow of Boss Su's Internet cafe now? After all, I'm not sure whether the hastily made flyers are effective before seeing the results..."

"No problem." Lisa agreed readily.

Qin, who had finally explained everything, watched Lisa and Kaia leave. When her eyes accidentally moved to a noble young man with red hair and red eyes in a corner not far from the Knights, she was surprised at first, but then she understood something. She couldn't help but smile and saluted him as a knight, silently expressing her gratitude that she could not say directly in the Knights headquarters.

As for the noble young man with red hair and red eyes, he nodded calmly to Qin, as if accepting the other party's gratitude.

When Lisa and Kaeya approached, he ignored Kaeya's smug expression and followed them to Mondstadt Internet Café in the east of the city as they had agreed in the Temple of the Wolf of the North Wind.

Can a game predict reality, or even the existence of 'me'?

Diluk, who was lagging behind Lisa and Kaeya, looked up at the azure sky with a deep gaze.

……

"Everyone line up! Keep a distance from each other! Don't crowd! Don't quarrel!"

"Stop it! Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, I'll send both of you to the Knights to calm down!"

“You can’t cut in line!”

"If you want to enter the store, please line up at the back!"

……

When Lisa finally found Noel and the others who were distributing flyers as ordered by Captain Jean, they were already very close to the Mond Internet Café.

Looking at the endless queue stretching from the Internet cafe to the street, and Noel who was maintaining order on the spot, Lisa suddenly had a bad feeling.

After exchanging a glance with Kaia, whose face had also become stiff, Lisa stepped forward to stop Noel, who was sweating profusely from working, and asked, "Noel, why are you here?"

“Ah, Lisa-senpai! Captain Kaeya! And... Master Diluk!” Noelle was obviously surprised to see Lisa, Kaeya, and Diluk suddenly appear beside her. Facing Lisa’s question, she honestly said, “I’m here because after I completed the task of distributing flyers assigned by Captain Jean, I noticed that most of the people who received the flyers showed interest in the small shop endorsed by Captain Jean. Just in case, I and other members of the Knights Templar found this shop together according to the address on the flyer…”

After listening to Noel's explanation, Lisa realized that the reason why Noel and the other new Knights did not return to the Knights to report to Jean after distributing the flyers was because when they arrived at the door of the Internet cafe and saw the increasing number of people queuing, they were worried that too many people in the queue would cause a riot, so they volunteered to stay and help maintain order in the queue.

“I’m glad you’re okay.” Lisa breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Noelle was not injured. But then she breathed a sigh of relief again, “Noelle, you just said that there are too many new customers in the Internet cafe and we need to queue now?!”

Seeing the growing number of people queuing up, Lisa was a little confused: "Do these people who are queuing up know what a computer is, or what a computer game is? Could it be that the flyers that Captain Jean asked Albedo to customize are so effective that people can't help but line up as soon as they see the flyers?!"

(At this point, most people who line up have the same mentality: they pass by and see a long queue of people, and think that this store is having some kind of discount promotion. They have nothing else to do anyway, so they might as well line up first...)
