How to Run an Internet Cafe in the Wasteland

Blurb:

On the verge of death after being infected by an unknown virus, Mo Ning transmigrates to a new world.

This world has been overrun by an apocalypse game, turning the whole world into a game arena. Its former splendor is gone. Every living thing except humans has become a monster, and humans are now players fighting against them.

Mo Ning asks the System, “So what am I supposed to do? Do I have to level up and fight monsters too?”

System: No. Your mission is to open an internet cafe in this world.

Mo Ning: ...Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

In the third year after the world fell, people’s spirits gradually withered from fighting monsters day after day.

Monsters came with a buff that attacked players' mental stats. After years of this, everyone was exhausted. If their mental stats reached zero, they would turn into monsters themselves.

So they had no choice but to fight even harder, earning points to buy necessities and potions that restored their mental stats in the game shop.

.

Then one day, while out fighting monsters, a certain team discovered a drab little house. Outside hung a neon sign they hadn't seen in years, displaying four words: An Ning Internet Cafe.

.

Nostalgic for the old world, people couldn't help going in to explore. Then they discovered...

It really was an internet cafe with computers and internet access!

Play a round of Spider Solitaire, mental stats +1

Play a round of tile-matching, mental stats +1

Watch a cat video, mental stats +2

Eat a cup of instant noodles, mental stats +5

What's more, once they collected enough of a certain crop in a farming game where you steal vegetables, they received a real crop as a reward!

This wasn't just an internet cafe. It was their spiritual home, a haven for their hearts!

.

What? The key weapon for defeating the monster boss is in the cafe owner's hands? They knew it! Anyone who could open an internet cafe in this world had to be an expert. The owner really lived up to the title!

Mo Ning: I didn't, I don't, and I really can't fight monsters. I'm just an ordinary internet cafe owner!
