Chapter 141: A Book Worm + A Foodie = A Fanatic
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Yu Liang had a drink tonight and came back late.
While he was walking toward his residence in the academy, a few black figures flashed by!
"Old Ghost Qin is finally gone," one black figure whispered, "I can't wait anymore! With so many instructors gone, I'm sure that the school is less guarded than before!"
"Let's go to the internet cafe!"
"Hey! You..."
"Internet cafe?! That's another name for that small shop?!" Startled, Yu Liang realized that these disciples were sneaking out to the internet cafe during the night!
It was outrageous!
These disciples' movements were very swift and neat as if they had done this many times before, and their cultivation strengths showed that they probably came from at least the Earth House.
When he ran over, the disciples had jumped over the high wall of the academy!
Yu Liang's cultivation strength wasn't low! Immediately, he leaped over the wall and saw the disciples just ahead of him.
"Someone is coming after us?"
"Is it an instructor?!"
"F*ck! Run!"
"Still want to run?!" Yu Liang's face turned cold as he ran after them. However, he only took several steps when he heard some chanting.
Then, his vision darkened, and he could see nothing!
"Run! I used the Cloak of Shadows on him! He won't see us for a while!"
"Brother! You're awesome!"
"You put the skills that you learned from the games into good use!"
"Run now! The spell won't last long!"
When Yu Liang recovered his sight, the disciples were nowhere to see!
What should I do? Launch another dorm-check?
No... Yu Liang thought , If my memory is right, there's a reward for catching the disciples who are inside the internet café!
Although those disciples were gone from his sight, he would find them in that shop!
...
"I can't believe that I'm now a main character of a novel!" After playing for six hours, Dong Qingli still felt excited.
She loved reading novels but had never imagined that she could do this!
She was able to enter the world created by the novel and explore the whole world as the main character!
She felt exhilarated! Just imagine how thrilled she was feeling when she was able to enter the world painted by her favorite novel!
In the past, Dong Qingli felt disgusted whenever she heard people mentioning games or Origins Internet Club. Now, she began to like this shop.
In fact, it was more than liking.
I feel like I'm fascinated by this shop!
Not able to suppress her excitement, she ran to the counter and asked, "Sir, you have passed Andariel, right?"
"How about Act II? Is it difficult?"
"By the way, that snack named Haagen-Dazs is delicious!" Dong Qingli licked her lips as if she were still savoring the ice cream. After all, she was not only a book worm but also a foodie! Otherwise, she wouldn't have opened that big restaurant.
"It's much more delicious than the food in the Wind and Moon Pavilion! Is the cooking technique really so sophisticated?"
Which shop do you really own?! Zhang Wanyu's expression turned dark, and she felt like crying when she looked at the starry-eyed Dong Qingli.
Who would have thought that the owner of the Wind and Moon Pavilion would come to this internet cafe during the night and praise of the food of another shop while talking about Diablo?!
It was fortunate that they were wearing veils, and no one had recognized them. Otherwise, Zhang Wanyu would die of embarrassment!
Forget it! Our identities are concealed by the veils! It doesn't matter what we do! Zhang Wanyu no longer wanted to care.
"This is the place!" Yu Liang pushed opened the door and entered the shop. Then, he saw two women in veils talking with an ordinary-looking young man and a loli at the counter.
Also, an elegant-looking young man in a golden robe put in a word or two occasionally.
"Where are they?!" Yu Liang glanced around the shop but couldn't find those disciples.
Compared with the big shops in the city, Fang Qi's two shops were small, but they still had two floors. It wasn't easy for Yu Liang to find his targets in a short time.
Xiao Yulv glanced at him and quickly turned his gaze away, thinking, He's a guy. I'll just ignore him.
Yu Liang felt confused. He had heard that this was a small shop, but it didn't look small to him.
Should I ask the shop owner to find them for me? He quickly shook his head, knowing that the shop owner would kick him out upon knowing that he was here to catch disciples.
At this moment, he realized that he knew almost nothing about this shop, and he felt lost upon entering.
Yeah, he knew nothing about this shop; not even a tiny bit.
He tried to remember the technique that one of the disciples used on him, and he knew that it wasn't a combat technique from any of the major forces in the city.
Suddenly, he recalled that the disciples mentioned it was a skill from a game!
Then, Mu Hongzhu's words appeared in his mind.
The three disciples from the Earth House disciples were not elites but could escape from him easily; that surprised him.
Since those disciples were able to use unique techniques on him, he knew that they were very smart.
Are they so easily bewitched?! Maybe... I'll see what's inside this shop!
"Sir!" His expression turned dark as he asked, "What is the Cloak of Shadows?"
"It's one of the skills of the assassins in Diablo." Fang Qi pointed at the small blackboard. "Do you want to play?"
"I want to try it..."
It's a skill from this shop?! Is it a new combat technique? Yu Liang paid without hesitation.
...
– Wind and Moon Pavilion –
"It's so late... How come they are still not back?!" Xiang Qinghe felt anxious.
"Did anything happen to them?" It had been more than ten hours, and it shouldn't have taken so long to buy a book!
More importantly, they didn't respond to his messages through the communication jade!
"Damn it! Did someone discover their identities?"
– Meanwhile, outside of the internet café –
Dong Qingli enjoyed herself very much today!
Still savoring the game that she had played, Dong Qingli clicked her tongue and said, "There's such a grand world in Diablo. Before the adventurers came, there had been a war against Diablo..."
Although she couldn't buy the second volume of Diablo, she felt great that she had gained so much information from her talk with Fang Qi.
"Haagen-Dazs is super tasty... The game is thrilling!" It sounded like Dong Qingli would come here tomorrow to continue playing the game and talking about Diablo.
"Then, shall we continue boycotting this shop?" Zhang Wanyu asked awkwardly.
"Of course! We must do it with greater efforts! If we stop boycotting it, there will be too many customers visiting the shop, and we'll wait forever in line!" Dong Qingli gritted her teeth, looking worried.
"They bring so many people with them and leave us no seats!" Zhang Wanyu felt the same after waiting in line for such a long time. "Then, we must continue boycotting it!"
"In a few days, contact the Master Huo of the Southern Business Alliance and tell him that we must put more effort in boycotting! Then, we must put some pressure on Liuyun Daoist Palace and Cloud Ocean Faction and ask them not to bring so many people here each day!"
"But they are major organizations. I'm afraid we can't put pressure on them..."
"These two organizations buy a lot of stuff from the Southern Business Alliance, right?"
Chapter 142: Fighting for Seats
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
"Tiger Strike!"
"Dragon Talon!"
"Dragon Claws!" On the empty street in the midnight, Yu Liang punched with great force on his way back to the academy.
"Hehe! Haha!" Bright lights appeared in his eyes, and his shoulders shook with excitement. "I can gain levels by killing monsters?! I can increase my strength by leveling up?! I never imagined that something as cool as this existed in our world!"
"It's so incredible! Leveling up feels so wonderful!" After playing only about five hours during the night, Yu Liang felt like his strength improved faster than when he was cultivating in the Martial Arts Tower with the aid of all kinds of elixirs!
"It's so awesome!" Feeling the newly acquired warrior qi in his body, Yu Liang found no trace of impurities in it. "It usually takes me a lot of time and energy to cultivate warrior qi of this purity! Yet, I obtained it after playing for one night!
"No wonder those disciples took such great risks to go there..." Yu Liang murmured to himself. "If I keep doing this, it won't be long before I become an instructor of the Earth House, and I will even be able to teach those super elite disciples at the Heaven House!"
How did someone come up with such a powerful cultivation method?! It increases one's strength much faster than the Martial Arts Tower!
This feeling is beyond words!
Such thrill!
However, I heard that players can form teams... One can kill monsters in a faster and safer way in a team? He knew that it was true from his own experience. If he died in a group of monsters and tried to run back to get the items that the dead monsters dropped, he would die several times in the process, and it would waste a lot of time!
Maybe, I can ask some good friends to play with me, so we can cover for each other?" Although he didn't want to share such a good thing with others, but...
I'll just ask a few people, and it should be fine...
...
Meanwhile, Chen Feng was in a meeting with several artifact masters in his family and some decision-makers in the Yang Family and the Wu Family. They were all mid-tier families in Jiuhua City; they had some power but were less powerful than the big families such as the Ouyang Family and the Bu Family, let alone the Nalan Family.
Among the forces in the entire Jiangnan Region, they were in the lower-middle rank.
"We were probably tricked by that Hou Chong!" Chen Feng sat on the soft armchair covered by an animal's fur, and he placed his hands on his thighs. "He forbids us from entering the shop, but I guess he wants to make profits from it secretly!"
"Can these new spiritual artifacts be copied?"
"I don't think special artifact-making skills are required," a long-faced middle-aged man in a green robe said with a serious expression, "It's not difficult to copy them, but I can't understand some of the details. Without these details, these weapons won't be as powerful and safe as we want."
"Daoist Wu is right." Sitting beside him was a grey-robed middle-aged cultivator with his hair untied. "We can't bring testing equipment into the game, and we must observe them with our artifact-making experience. It will be a time-consuming project, and it's a test of patience."
"A test of patience?! Hey!" The middle-aged cultivator who was sitting across from Chen Fang slapped his thighs and asked, "Do you mean the earlier one enters the game, the earlier one will figure out how to make these spiritual artifacts?"
"It seems that we're late!"
"Brother Yang, calm down," Chen Fang said, "Did you notice the customers in that shop? From what I saw, we're not too late! The people who are studying the weapons all come from big forces such as the Liuyun Daoist Palace and the Cloud Ocean Faction. None of them are on the same level as us!"
After a pause, he continued, "If we hurry up, this might be an opportunity!"
"Opportunity..." The artifact master with the surname of Wu said, "Young Master Jiwei got to know the big figures such as Palace Master Xue, which is a good opportunity for us as well!"
"They are just acquaintances. Anyway, they know each other through the games, and you can't take it seriously!" Chen Feng curled his lips and said, "Today, I killed Faction Master Ye several times! If he took it seriously, my Chen Family would have been eliminated by him!"
"You're right!" The middle-aged cultivator with the surname of Yang said, "When I killed Palace Master Xue and you with a grenade, you didn't take it to heart, right? Brother Chen?"
"Hey! You dare to mention that!" Chen Feng pointed at him and said, "I killed you with bullets at Bombsite B!"
"That's a sneak attack! Sneak attack!" The middle-aged cultivator with the surname of Yang shouted, "What do you say about the fact that I killed you two with a sniper rifle through the gate?"
"I was careless!" While slamming his hand on the chair, Chen Feng yelled, "At Bombsite A, I killed you twice consecutively!"
"..."
"Brother Chen! Brother Yang! We're here to talk about the new spiritual artifacts, right? What are you doing?!"
They froze for a few seconds, realizing that they had strayed from the point.
...
Meanwhile, Dong Qingli finally took out her communication jade. "Whoa! Qinghe sent me so many messages?"
Then, she looked up and saw Xiang Qinghe rushing over with a large group of people, roaring furiously, "Surround that shop for me! Don't let anyone get away!"
"Qinghe!" Dong Qingli's pretty face turned cold. "What are you doing?"
"Master!" Surprised, Xiang Qinghe hurried over and looked at her anxiously. "Are you okay?"
"This small shop detained you until now! We must make them pay!"
"Wait!" Dong Qingli asked, "What do you mean by detaining?"
"Weren't you... Then why..." Xiang Qinghe looked baffled.
"It's nothing! Nothing!" Dong Qingli said mildly, "I had fun in that shop and forgot to check the communication jade."
"Is it that simple?"
"Okay! We're fine!" Zhang Wanyu grabbed his hand and whispered, "Tomorrow, you'll understand after coming and playing with us."
"Tomorrow... you are still going there?" Xiang Qinghe's face twitched. "I guess I'll pass."
"That's good!" Dong Qingli said, "With one less person, we will have one less seat to find!"
"By the way, our shop will continue telling the stories from Celestial Warrior. It doesn't matter that we will make less money as long as we can keep the good stuff to ourselves."
Xiang Qinghe's face twitched again. What a strange way of thinking.
"Besides..." Dong Qingli waved her pretty jade-like finger and said, "Wake me up at 7 AM tomorrow."
"You always tell us that you need beauty sleep..." Xiang Qinghe looked confused.
With a cold expression, Dong Qingli gritted her teeth and said, "Tomorrow I must get up early to grab a seat!"
...
After one night of futile discussion, Chen Feng said, "You said that your sniping skills are great? Show me today!"
"Great? His marksmanship isn't half as good as his son's!" The artifact master with the surname of Wu said.
"It seems that we can't continue the topic until we settle this in the game today and decide who's stronger!" The cultivator with the surname of Yang said with a dark expression, "Don't talk to me until you can defeat me!"
"Let's do it!" After glancing at the sky outside the window, they immediately got up from the chairs. "Hurry up! There will be no seats for us if we're late!"
Chapter 143: Outdoor Livestream
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Shen Cang, an instructor of Earth House, loved to eat in Jinxiang Restaurant while listening to the story.
In the past few days, the restaurant started to tell the story of Diablo. The story fascinated him so much that he came to this place every day.
"Instructor Bai, the new story named Diablo is enthralling!"
"Yeah. How powerful do you think Andariel is?"
"Who knows? They say she is a very powerful demon!"
"..."
In the early morning, Shen Cang chatted with an instructor with the surname Bai while they walked to their offices.
Yu Liang was walking slowly ahead of them while he thought about whom he should introduce the game to. Without noticing, Shen Cang and the other instructor caught up with him, talking about Diablo in a loud voice.
Hearing the names in Diablo in their talk, Yu Liang was startled. What? Andariel?! Such a unique name is unmistakable!
"Instructor Bai! Instructor Shen! Are you talking about Diablo?!" Yu Liang shivered.
They are so bold and talking about Diablo in the public!
"Instructor Yu! You know Diablo too?" Shen Cang's eyes lit up when he found a fan of Diablo here! After all, the academy was far from Tianfu Street, and not many people traveled so far to listen to the story!
"You all know it?" Yu Liang was stupefied.
"Yeah!" They were familiar with each other, and Shen Cang was thrilled when he learned that Yu Liang was also a fan. He said with a laugh, "Besides me and Instructor Bai, some other instructors are also fans of Diablo!"
"Really?!" Yu Liang had thought that he was alone, but now with a group of people sharing his interest, he didn't have to worry about getting teammates.
Pleasantly surprised, he said, "I'm surprised that you all..."
He glanced around, thinking that it wasn't right to make their interest in the game known to the public.
He asked immediately, "What class do you think is more powerful?"
"Paladins are great. Paladins have powerful defense and offensive skills. They even can use spiritual spells!"
"Sorcerers are powerful too. They have all kinds of awesome spiritual spells. When they use Inferno, it kills groups of monsters!"
"Don't you think assassins are powerful?" Yu Liang said with disapproval, "They can inflict great damage!"
"You mean that guy who only sneak-attacks? His strikes are fatal, but he looks chilly to me."
"Instructor Yu, you like that assassin?"
Soon, they went into a heated discussion on their way to their offices, feeling excited that they shared an interest in a new thing!
Without noticing, they talked about Diablo for a while.
However, Yu Liang felt that something was not right.
For example, the other two would toss out the names of the characters, which made him wonder, How come I don't know these names? Is it because I just began playing the game?
"No way! How can Blood Raven drop items?" Shen Cang also felt like something was wrong.
"Didn't you pick them up?" Yu Liang looked at them with a strange expression.
"What's does it have to do with us? How can we pick them up?" They exchanged a look. "Which version do you have?"
"Which version?" Yu Liang was baffled. The shop had Act I, II, and III, and he wondered if they meant another act.
"Isn't it in Act I, Rogue Encampment?"
"Right..." Shen Cang nodded and said, "Are you sure you didn't listen to a pirate version from another shop?"
"What pirate version?" Yu Liang laughed at the accusation, "I didn't hear it from somewhere; I played it myself. How can I hear a pirate version?"
"Play?" The other two looked at each other.
"Yeah! The Origin Internet Club!" Yu Liang said without thinking, "You..."
Noticing their eyes turned weird, Yu Liang's heart lurched. He pointed at them and said in an unsteady voice, "Didn't you play Diablo in the Origin Internet Club?"
...
Led by their instructors, Nalan Mingxue, Song Qingfeng, and the others arrived at Jingshi.
This was the most prosperous city in the entirety Dajin!
In fact, the group from Xiyi Academy of the northwestern region of Dajin had arrived before Lingyun Academy's group did, and the representatives from both academies stayed at Shengjing Academy Hotel.
As their host, Shengjing Academy held a banquet in the Shengjing Academy Hotel to welcome the guests. Not only important figures like Qin Bing, but the vice academy masters who rarely showed their faces in public would attend this grand gala as well!
According to the rumors, even the Emperor would come and view the national examination!
...
– Meanwhile in the Origin Internet Club –
"Where's your boss?" Logging off, Dong Qingli looked around the internet cafe curiously as she asked, "He was here in the morning."
"It's now afternoon." Loli Jiang Xiaoyue said, "The owner said that he went out to play."
"Went out to play?!" Dong Qingli froze, wondering what things outside could be more fun than the games.
It's more fun to talk about Diablo! Dong Qingli was angry that she missed the opportunity to get more information about the plot of Diablo.
"Xiaoyue!" Finishing the game, Ye Xiaoye stretched in her seat and asked, "How come the shop owner didn't open the livestream? He went out to play?"
"Livestream?" Dong Qingli looked at Ye Xiaoye in bafflement and asked, "What's that?"
"It allows us to watch the shop owner play games on the big screens." Xiao Yulv glanced around and joined the conversation after seeing that there was no one to watch. "From what I see, watching the shop owner play is the most interesting out of watching everyone here!"
Although he didn't want to admit that watching others play wasn't as interesting as watching Fang Qi, it was the truth. In fact, Xiao Yulv even came up with his own ranking.
"The best experience is watching the shop owner play. When he's not here, I watch Senior Nalan and his buddies. If they are not here, only my aunt is worth watching. Everyone else is just newbies, and their gameplay is not worth watching."
"How come watching others play can be fun?!" Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu looked confused.
"Brother Xiao, what did you just say?" An Cheng had just gotten offline and walked over with a dark expression as if he had heard something not for his ears.
"Ugh..." Xiao Yulv said embarrassedly. "I missed one... Brother An plays very well. It's a shame that he just got offline."
"..."
At this moment, they saw the big screen on the wall turning on.
"Huh? Is the shop owner back?!" Ye Xiaoye was surprised.
"No... Look! The shop owner is outside of the city!" An Cheng pointed at the screen which showed that Fang Qi was close to the moat outside of the city.
"Sir! What are you doing outside of the city?" An Cheng yelled. Then, he realized that Fang Qi couldn't hear him, so he sent a bullet comment with his communication jade.
Of course, Fang Qi had a purpose for going out of the city.
He had received a task.
[Outdoor Livestream: Broadcast while you fly on a sword and show the sights that you see
Task Equipment: Automatic nano camera
Task Reward: Ham sausages (Can only be bought after purchasing the instant noodles)
Task description: Engage in more outdoor activities and refuse to be an otaku]
[TL Note: In China, the ham sausages are eaten as snacks, and people put them in instant noodles all the time.]
Chapter 144: Please Take Me on the Flight!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
It had been a while since Fang Qi went out of the shop. The last time he did so was when he went out to deal with the issue of promoting the official Diablo novel.
With the improvement of Jiang Xiaoyue's cooking skills, he even didn't go out to eat.
In other words, he had been a shut-in for quite a long time.
From this perspective, it was time for him to go out. Besides, he hadn't gone out of Jiuhua City yet.
To his surprise, he still could see the bullet comments on the System Interface without a computer.
On the big screens in the internet café, Fang Qi turned to the camera and said, "Today, I won't be broadcasting games; I'll do an outdoor livestream."
Bu Che and Ouyang Cheng looked at the screen and said, "Why not broadcast games? What's the fun of being outdoors?"
"Yeah. I want to watch you play games. But instead, you went outdoors!" Xiao Yulv looked at the big screen in distain and said, "I'm outdoors everyday and don't see anything fun. Otherwise, I wouldn't come and visit your internet cafe."
"What are you watching?" It was the peak time when the first group of players went offline.
Xue Daolv glanced at the big screen and asked, "What's this kid doing out there?"
"Outdoor livestream?" Many of them looked puzzled, thinking that they could go out any time and didn't need Fang Qi to give them a livestream of that.
As the shop owner, Fang Qi knew that now was a good time for live streaming since most of the players had just finished playing the games and were about to find something else to do or leave. When he turned on the livestream, many peopled came to watch.
"Is this place outside of the East Gate?" Outside of the city gate, many warriors and several cultivators were coming and going from the city, and Fang Qi stood at a spot on the outer range of the crowd.
At this moment, Fang Qi moved closer to the edge of the crowd before taking out his sword.
"Why did Mr. Fang take out this decorative sword?"
"Is he going to use the Innumerable Sword Scroll here?!" An Cheng looked at the crowd and speculated.
An Huwei ran over when he heard their comments and widened his eyes, saying, "If you dare to use the Innumerable Sword Scroll here, I won't let you get away with it!"
While the viewers talked among themselves in the internet cafe, Fang Qi unsheathed the sword with his warrior qi, and it hovered in the air before him.
Fang Qi lifted his foot and stepped on it, finding that it was quite steady.
When the people saw this move, they exclaimed, "No way! Is he going to..."
"Sir! Your mastered that already?!"
"Humph! I think he will fall after a few meters." Su Tianji snorted with contempt.
"Ugh? What are you guys talking about?" Dong Qingli was confused.
"Judging by his movements, he is going to use the sword control technique!" Xiao Yulv explained, "However, with his current cultivation strength, he can fly at most about 50 meters in the real world..."
He stroked his chin and added, "To show my respect to him, I will say that he can go at least 100 meters!"
Before he could finish, Fang Qi stepped on the sword and shot up into the clouds like a rocket.
"Da F*ck!" Xiao Yulv was stupefied.
"How did he do that? It's the same as when we're in the game?!" Su Tianji who had said that Fang Qi couldn't fly more than a few meters was also stupefied.
Did he steal the sword control technique from Li Xiaoyao?!
"Ahh..." Fenghua and Yuexin shrieked behind Su Tianji, "How come he can fly so high?!"
"Wow! I so envy him!" Ye Xiaoye shrieked in excitement as well, "I want to fly too!!!"
"Sir! Are you cheating?!" Dumbfounded, An Cheng gazed at the screen and didn't know how to react. Although he could now fly with the sword control technique, he couldn't fly so fast or so far after learning it only for a short time.
It must be noted that it usually took several years for a less talented cultivator to master the technique, let alone warriors!
How long has it been since I learned this?
The sword control technique was powerful in the game, but it was only a game. Just like when people watched commercials in Fang Qi's old world, they knew that some special effects were added to it.
Therefore, people were stunned when they realized that the sword control technique in the real world could be on par with the technique in the game!
"The shop owner is awesome!" All of them looked at the screen with wide eyes while they watched the awe-inspiring sight!
[Sir! How did you do it?]
[That senior must have given you another private lesson! It's unfair!]
"I swear that those cultivators and warriors who were around the shop owner were stupefied by this sight!"
The people outside of the east gate were stunned. "I've never seen someone who could fly like this!"
Bystanders wondered, Did I just see something fly away?!
[Sir, give us a glimpse of the people outside of the East Gate!]
Bullet comments flooded the screen!
While covering her mouth with her hand, Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu looked at each other in shock.
"How can he fly like this?!"
"With a celestial sword, one can go to the heavens and enter the netherworld!" someone yelled in the internet cafe.
After the players from Jiuhua City were restricted from coming into the internet cafe, most of the customers came from cultivation sects and factions such as the Cloud Ocean Faction and Liuyun Daoist Palace.
Their favorite technique was the sword control technique.
When they saw Fang Qi riding on the sword into the clouds in real life...
"Our grand sword control technique is glorious!"
"He can fly this way in the real world! It's awesome!"
"Do you see that? The tough winds in the sky are being split apart by the sword energy! He doesn't have to worry about his safety!"
"Ahh! Sir! Take me with you!" A disciple from Liuyun Daoist Palace shouted.
[Count me in!] An Cheng immediately sent a bullet comment.
[Sir! We also want to experience the sword control technique this way! Please take us with you on your flight!]
Seeing this request, the others shared the sentiment. They couldn't fly so far, but they could ask the shop owner to take them on the flight!
[Ahh! I want the shop owner to take me on the flight too!] Ye Xiaoye sent a bullet comment in a hurry.
[If he takes anyone, he will take me!] Jiang Xiaoyue didn't want to be outshined.
Fenghua and Yuexin were about to send the same requests when they were stopped by Xiao Yulv who whispered, "Senior Sisters, according to my observation, the shop owner is a pervert. You can't offer him any opportunities!"
Meanwhile, Fang Qi who was flying in the sky dug out his communication jade which showed the newest message.
[Sir, it's okay that the shop doesn't welcome me, but I hope that you can take me flying outside the shop! Please give me a chance! – Xiao Yulv!]
Fang Qi's face twitched while he thought, This guy is on the blacklist, but he still somehow connected to my communication jade!
Then, he said to the camera, "I'm sorry, today's outdoor livestream doesn't include taking people on flights. If anyone wants to be taken on the flight, please wait until next time!"
Hearing his words, the people in the internet cafe went into an uproar!
"Sir! You are enjoying it all alone! And you are making us watch you!"
"Don't you feel any shame?"
"That's outrageous! Today, I'll go on a strike. I won't play any games!" An Cheng who had finished his six hours of play time yelled while he sent this message.
"Ugh? Which faction does the sword control technique belong to? How come I've never seen it before? It looks so powerful!" Only Dong Qingli, the new player, looked confused.
"It belongs to the Shushan Faction!" the others answered.
"Oh, so Mr. Fang is a disciple of the Shushan Faction?"
"So are we!" Ye Xiaoye waved her small fist and shouted with dignity.
Behind her, Ye Songtao's face twitched. If she wasn't his daughter, he would have expelled her from the faction.
"Pretty Sister, would you like to buy the Legend of the Sword and Fairy and join the Shushan Faction with us?" Ye Xiaoye said sincerely.
"We can join Shushan Faction after buying the game?" Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu froze.
They had never heard such a condition for joining a faction!
Chapter 145: One Can Go Anywhere with the Sword Control Technique!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
At the others' explanation, Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu learned that Shushan Faction was a cultivation faction in a game, and the sword control technique was the signature technique of that faction.
"Shall we buy it?" Looking at Fang Qi who stood above the clouds, Zhang Wanyu said in excitement, "This is so convenient and fast! Even warriors can learn it!"
"Then, we'll buy it, and we can play it together with Diablo!" Dong Qingli looked at the screen in envy as well, wondering about this amazing flight technique!
"But..." Someone asked with a bullet comment, [Sir, where are you going?]
"Where am I going?" Fang Qi didn't know where he was going.
He knew nothing about this world except Jiuhua City.
When he was out of Jiuhua City, he couldn't even tell the direction, let alone a specific destination.
[Sir! You can go to the Cloud Ocean City!] Ye Xiaoye responded immediately, [I recommend Cloud Ocean City! You can have seafood there and enjoy the view of the vast ocean!]
After sending the bullet comment, Ye Xiaoye smiled with satisfaction since she could invite the shop owner to tour her own city!
[Go to the Liuyun Daoist Palace!] Fenghua and Yuexin also sent bullet comment, [Our Liuyun Daoist Palace is surrounded by great sceneries! If you're lucky, you can see the grand view of the sea-like clouds! Also, I'm sure that you'll like the flowers in our Tianji Palace!]
Xue Daolv stroked his beard, looking confident in his Liuyun Daoist Palace.
[I recommend the Cloud Ocean Faction! And the sects in the South Sea!] Yun Lian also sent a message, [The sceneries on the remote islands are as beautiful as those around the Liuyun Daoist Palace! You can try the special products of the South Sea – The Fog-Swallowing Tea!]
Ye Songtao nodded slightly while he looked at the comments on the screen. According to the comments, the Cloud Ocean Faction had become a tourist attraction.
[You can visit my Yinlong Cave Abode!] the Yinlong Elder joined in.
Looking at the rows after rows of comments, Dong Qingli was eager to join in. "Shall we recommend one destination as well?"
[You can go to Jingshi. Jingshi is a grand city and the center of Dajin's fortune, and many people from foreign countries are there. Besides, the Star-Observing Tower is one of its kind, and it's said that if you stand at the top of the Star Watching Palace, you can pluck stars from the sky!] After she learned how to send bullet comments, Dong Qingli immediately sent her recommendation.
[There are all kinds of delicacies in Jingshi!] Mentioning food, Dong Qingli suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten Haagen-Dazs yet today, so she bought one container. Then, she continued the recommendation while enjoying the Haagen-Dazs, [The Crystal Duck, Thousand-Light Silver Carp, and Golden Crisp in Jingshi are the top delicacies in the world! You must try them!]
[Sir! Go to Jingshi!] Jiang Xiaoyue agreed with her. [I want to see the livestream of Jingshi!]
She didn't dare to go to Jingshi since there were too many powerful humans there, but she still wanted to see what the most prosperous city in Dajin looked like.
Fang Qi glanced at the bullet comments on the screen in confusion. "So many suggestions! Which one should I choose?"
At this moment, Chen Feng and his son also got offline. "What are you doing here in a group?"
"We're watching the shop owner's outdoor livestream. We are recommending places for him to visit."
"Livestream?" Chen Feng glanced at the screen, and his jaw dropped in astonishment. "Where's the shop owner? Is he standing on a sword?!"
He looked at the clouds floating around Fang Qi and asked, "Is he in the sky?!"
"Sword control technique!"
Chen Feng and others looked at the screen with amazement on their faces.
"Sir! Go to Jingshi!" At this moment, Li Haoran also sent a bullet comment, saying, [I'll send a message to Mr. Mu. I'm sure he will be happy to see you!]
"Mr. Mu? Who is he?" Fang Qi looked baffled.
"The young man with the mustache? The young man who wanted to buy computers while he was here playing Resident Evil?" Seeing Li Haoran's explanation on the communication jade, Fang Qi remembered that guy. "He is from Jingshi? No wonder I haven't seen him for a long while."
"Okay! Okay! Today, I'll broadcast my trip to Jingshi while riding on the sword, and I'll visit an old acquaintance while I'm doing it!"
[Wow! Boss, you're so good!] Jiang Xiaoyue looked very excited.
"Who can tell me which direction is Jingshi?" Fang Qi was still confused.
[Fly in the northwest direction!]
Fang Qi glanced at the direction and moved the sword toward the northwest with the sword control technique.
On his way, clouds flew around him. When he looked down, the mountains and rivers on the land looked like the decorations on a big chessboard. Under his feet, the magnificent Jiuhua City was as small as a hand!
"I wish I could fly like this one day!" Ye Xiaoye was excited by the sight.
"This kid has gained such a mastery of the sword control technique?!" Nalan Hongwu and the others clicked their tongues at the sight. "He's really fast!"
"Do you see that? It's Weinan City ahead of us!"
"He's at Weinan City so soon? He's so fast!"
Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu were still shocked. "How come he flies so fast?!"
"He is almost as fast as a large spiritual boat at top speed?!"
Su Tianji was a little excited. "If I can reach the same level as this kid, I won't ride a spiritual boat anymore!"
Xue Daolv said while eating Haagen-Dazs, "This is awesome!"
An Huwei was also eating Haagen-Dazs while he watched the livestream. "In the future, I won't buy spiritual boats anymore since a sword can do all the work! It will be so convenient!"
Xiao Yulv looked envious. "The sword control technique is awesome! I want to learn it too..."
"I want to learn it, too..." Jiang Xiaoyue felt uneasy. "The humans have such powerful spiritual spells. I wonder if I can learn them..."
"..."
"Sir! There might be demonic birds at the edge of the Jiangnan Region!"
"Flying solo? You must watch out for demonic beasts!"
"Well... Isn't that a Gale Vulture which is equivalent to an Ancestral Warrior?" Someone pointed at the screen and asked.
"Where is it?"
"It's behind the shop owner..."
"I don't see it behind the shop owner..."
"That black dot..."
"Are you sure you saw it?"
"Look down! He passed another city! So fast!"
All the people were shocked.
...
– In Lingyun Academy –
"You mean you can not only enter the world as a main character but increase your strength at a super speed as well?!" Shen Cang was nonplussed. After talking about Diablo for so long, he found that his friend didn't listen to the Diablo novel as the latter had played the actual game!
He learned that Yu Liang played the game in the shop which was prohibited by the academy!
What was more astonishing was what Yu Liang said to him.
Yu Liang was an experienced person. After he recovered from his initial shock, he calmed down quickly. "Of course! Otherwise, the disciples wouldn't have taken such great risks to go there!"
He had to drag these two into his team to ensure that they wouldn't tell on him.
"How do we know that what you are saying is true?" Shen Cang was tempted, wishing that he could act as a main character in this fascinating novel!
Besides, he could increase his strength in the game!
The most important thing was strength! No one could get enough of it!
Yu Liang continued to tempt them. "Just think of it: the academy never prohibited the instructors from going to the shop, which gives us a great opportunity! Besides, the disciples are not going there anymore and had quit easily. It proves that Director Qin exaggerated the addictive side effects!"
"What good can I get by lying to you? After all, no reward was offered for catching instructors who go into that small shop!"
The other two looked at each other. "Maybe... We'll go and have a look?"
