Chapter 11: Namikaze Minato and the Almighty Father of Handwashing

"Teach me tonight," she said.

Kisara played to her strengths, acting cute? It was effective for most men, but to Liu Yuan, it seemed lacking. However, as an experienced player, it was his duty to guide newcomers through the games.

As the two chatted, the door of the shop swung open.

"Welcome!"

Liu Yuan and Kisara stopped chatting, preparing to welcome the guest.

Entering was a young blond man.

The young man, named Namikaze Minato, looked around curiously at this strange room.

"Hello, where is this?"

He remembered falling asleep in his room, then suddenly waking up here. Everything was completely different from Konoha, the furniture, the people, all unfamiliar to him.

"Here? It's the Four-Dimensional Cybercafe, where everyone can play games, but unfortunately, kids can't play games here."

A new customer for the internet, Liu Yuan's face lit up with a smile.

Having a new customer meant he was one step closer to completing the task of attracting five repeat customers.

Judging from the cautious look on the young man's face, he hadn't figured out where he was or what he could do here. So, Liu Yuan began to explain.

"Here is the Four-Dimensional Cybercafe. I'm the owner, Liu Yuan, and she is the network manager, Kisara. Here, you can experience interesting games and discover new worlds. Do you want to give it a try?"

"A new world?"

Namikaze Minato looked around the room cautiously, realizing the moment he entered the room that he couldn't use his chakra. It wasn't sealed; it was 'scared'.

Like a rabbit encountering a lion, a rabbit can only choose to run away when facing a top predator.

At the same time, everything here was very strange. He was clearly sleeping in his own room, he knew everything around his home very well. Even if there was something in the whole village, or nothing, he was very clear about it.

The environment? Not possible. There was no information about any other chakra on his body; his own chakra could still be sensed, and he could even sense the Flying Raijin Jutsu he left next to his wife, but he just couldn't use it.

But now he was here, and he even found money in his pocket...

Combining the information provided by Liu Yuan, he speculated about the reason he appeared here.

Did he need to take out some money to leave this space? Or satisfy the requirements of the manager of this space before he could leave?

As a ninja of Konoha, courage, insight, and decisiveness were all essential.

Since he could experience a new world just by spending money, he was curious about what he could see. He already judged that they werent lying.

Looking at the internet prices, he was stunned by the price. It was enough to eat six bowls of ramen in an hour. Fortunately, he had some savings, so he put the money on the counter and said, "One hour, please."

"Okay~"

Liu Yuan didn't say much more; he would run the session as long as the customer requested.

"Please follow me, the computer is like this..."

The equipment in the cybercafe looked like computers, but there were significant differences in many operations besides turning them on and off and clicking on icons.

"This is the power button, this is the mouse used to select what you want to play. This is the virtual reality glasses, once you wear them, you can experience the charm of another world as a certain person."

Under Liu Yuan's guidance, Namikaze Minato quickly memorized.

The operation was very simple, even the kids in the ninja school could learn how to operate it by listening once.

There were very few games available on the desktop, just the Elden Ring and the Resident Evil series.

Namikaze Minato glanced casually at the other two playing games. One was rolling and hitting monsters with a stick that looked like bugs, and the other was riding a horse around the map.

He was puzzled. Was this thing really that fun?

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"What type of experience are you looking for, sir?"

After thinking about his wife and the child in her belly, Namikaze Minato proposed his idea: "I want to play a game that can experience family affection."

"Family affection? Then Resident Evil 8 is perfect for you."

Liu Yuan pointed to the game and opened Resident Evil 8: Village for Namikaze Minato.

Opening the game, there were basic settings and different from the device settings. The real experience version's settings was based on personal emotions, adaptability, and comprehensive quality. It was also divided into game experience version and real version.

It would also be based on the player's inner thoughts, whether to completely play as the character or to replace the character.

[Complete play] meant following the game's preset protagonist.

[Replacing play] meant becoming the game's protagonist, just like Liu Yuan and Kisara playing Resident Evil 2.

The game version would restrict to a fixed range with specific main plots. However, the real experience version would truly experience the character's experience and emotions. There was no apparent time limit, but there was an actual hard time limit.

If nothing was completed within a certain time, then the ending would only be a bad one.

Of course, since it was called the real experience version, playing some tricky moves at the beginning was also possible.

However, if played like this, don't save the game; saving the game would affect all subsequent plots later on.

Namikaze Minato opened the game, and the opening of the game was an introduction to his experience. Finding his wife, defeating monsters, saving his wife, in just a few minutes, the identity of this man was narrated.

Then, he formally entered the plot.

Namikaze Minato felt very strange. It was as if he had become another person, but at the same time, he could perceive everything outside, and even multitasked, discussing game information with Liu Yuan while enjoying the CG in the game.

Playing the role of a husband, having a wife and a daughter. His wife was telling stories while holding their child, and Namikaze Minato was amazed at the reality around him.

The table, the chair, the food. Smell, hearing, touch. While perceiving reality, he also experienced the reality in the game.

The two realities did not interfere with each other at all. This magical feeling was stronger than any genjustsu.

Illusions replaced reality or affected reality, but this virtual reality was real and didn't interfere or replace reality. They could even coexist simultaneously, which piqued Namikaze Minato's interest.

As a newcomer, he followed Liu Yuan's advice and chose the game mode. It was because of this that he could carefully explore his surroundings.

While Namikaze Minato was admiring his surroundings, he heard Mia's 'reminder.'

"The child fell asleep, carry her upstairs."

"Okay, okay..."

Namikaze Minato felt that something was wrong, but looking at the 'wife's' smile, he took the child.

At this moment, he thoroughly understood the meaning of 'game', playing a certain person, experiencing their life. Such a game could be seen as an illusion or as a trial, an experience.

He was now experiencing the image of a family man with a wife and child. Although he felt a sense of dissonance with the role he played and the wife in the game, the moment he received the child, his heart melted.

He felt a sense of 'blood connection', according to the reminder when entering the game, this was to increase the sense of immersion. But because of this feeling, he couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of him and his lover watching their child being born.

However, Namikaze Minato, who was experiencing the game, didn't see the smirk on Liu Yuan's face behind him.
