Chapter 296: New Movie, and Plants vs Zombies
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
"Senior Sister Liu, what should we do now?" Now that Liu Ningyun was grounded, the disciples of Nanhua who usually went to the Origins Internet Club with her had similar fates.
Standing in the courtyard before Liu Ningyun's room, the female disciples looked worried. "The stuff in that shop is fun and powerful. Why can't we go there?"
"Yeah. I feel like my cultivation has sped up lately!" one of them complained.
"The problem is that we don't have proof," Liu Ningyun said, "Besides, if you explain it to our master, she probably will think that we're disgracing her by cultivating in another force instead of doing it in the cultivation rooms of our faction!"
"What should we do now? The whole thing sounds complicated..."
"I don't know..." Liu Ningyun looked worried.
...
In fact, things were not as harmonious as they looked in this big faction.
Not many people knew that Liu Ningyun was grounded, but some people asked around purposefully and got wind of it.
"I heard the rumors from the outside that Nanhua Heavenly Fairy Liu Ningyun was defeated by a young man who appeared out of nowhere?"
"It's true, Elder Senior Sister." Standing by this woman, there was a girl who looked a bit older than Liu Ningyun. "According to the rumors circulating outside of our faction, the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell has unrivaled power, and even the Nanhua Heavenly Light of our faction is no match for it!"
"That's ridiculous!" The woman sneered. "Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell? Where did it come from? Which faction does it belong to? I've never heard of it before; how can it defeat the Nanhua Heavenly Light of our faction?"
"I guess Junior Sister Liu hasn't mastered Nanhua Heavenly Light yet and thus brought disgrace to the ultimate technique of our faction. She's not as good as you, Elder Senior Sister... The master said that she is a rare genius in the last 1,000 years of Nanhua Faction, but I think she's no match for you, Elder Senior Sister. The title of Heavenly Fairy should belong to you!"
"Right! Elder Senior Sister, you entered our branch the earliest, and we admire you the most. I don't understand why they gave the title of Nanhua Heavenly Fairy to the young Liu Ningyun! They even taught her Nanhua Heavenly Light!"
"Humph!" The woman sneered. "Now that Junior Sister Liu is grounded by Master, I think it gives you a perfect opportunity, Elder Senior Sister."
"Opportunity?"
"Right. If we can defeat the young man who defeated Junior Sister Liu, Master might see you in a different light and will probably think that Junior Sister Liu doesn't deserve the title of Nanhua Heavenly Fairy; she might put more value on you, Elder Senior Sister!"
"This... seems unfair to Junior Sister Liu." The Elder Senior Sister seemed worried.
"Elder Senior Sister, you're too kind for your own good!"
"In my opinion, only you deserve this position!"
The Elder Senior Sister followed their tone and said, "I can't refuse your kind advice. Let's get ready and go to Half City. We'll find that kid and give him a hard lesson to redeem the honor for our Nanhua Faction and Junior Sister Liu!"
"Right. Elder Senior Sister, your cultivation strength is much higher than that Liu Ningyun, and it will be easy for you to capture that kid who came from nowhere."
...
"Guild President, Sister Xi and I are going to burn pigs in the Stone Tomb. Are you coming?" At Fang Qi's advice, Ruan Ning had found a new place to level up, and she was enjoying it.
"You guys go ahead. I plan to go to Zuma Temple with Xiaoyue... Ugh?"
Mr. Fang's QQ beeped, and he received a new task at the same time.
[New task: A fresh wind in the era of online games
Task Description: The number of players of the little game, Qzone, reaches 200
Task Reward: Movie – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone; one day access to the Game Cultivation Room
Task Clarification: This is a basic magic class]
Although the Legend of Mir 2 got more popular each day, and the players of the Legend of Mir 2 increased continuously, the fact was that the Legend of Mir 2 wasn't a game for independent players except for those who loved exploring every day without a specific purpose.
For new players, they either joined a force or developed their own in a low profile. The latter would eventually get used to being killed after a while.
Some players didn't like fighting and battling everyday. For example, Su Tianji preferred to stay in her Qzone to play guzheng and grow vegetables with her two disciples.
As for the Legend of Mir 2, she just followed the main force of the Liuyun Guild to gain some experience points each day; she was a big burden for the team.
For the same reason, Liu Ningyun had time to play the King of Fighters and drink tea in Mr. Fang's place.
Since Su Tianji watched her vegetable garden closely and was diligent with removing pests and weeds, Mr. Fang didn't have the opportunity to steal her vegetable. Therefore, she had quite a decent income now.
Even her daikon was bigger than those in the others' gardens. More importantly, she had grown some high-level spiritual plants, and the land that she could use for growing had doubled.
Fang Qi glanced at the message on QQ. Su Tianji?
[What's it? I'm playing the Legend of Mir 2!] Mr. Fang replied impatiently. Every time he saw her well-grown vegetables and fruits filled with spiritual essence, he was tempted to steal them. However, she guarded her garden closely, which made Mr. Fang very frustrated.
[I have something to ask you.] Su Tianji sent him a message, [Why can't I unlock the higher leveled spiritual plants? I have enough nurturing and cultivating experience and skills, but it says that I need to unlock them through Plants vs Zombie.]
"Pu!" Mr. Fang almost spat the Coke onto his screen. [What do you need to unlock them?!]
[Plants vs Zombies!] Su Tianji replied, [How can plants fight zombies? What is this? (Husky's baffled face)?]
Su Tianji was confused, and the Husky's baffled face showed what she was feeling.
"Wait a moment," Mr. Fang came into Su Tianji's Qzone. Her space was now exquisite under her management, and the green pine and bamboo forest made the scenery more pleasant. The green bamboo fence surrounding her courtyard had various sprinkling small flowers on it, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits were either vivid red or bright green in the garden.
The original crude cottage with the straw roof was now changed into an exquisite house with a tiled roof. On the snow-white walls crawled green ivies and bright wild flowers. It was a pretty picture.
On the side was an elixir room with sandalwood fragrance floating out; it was a celestial sight.
Beside the green creek on one side of the house was a simple guzheng platform. When she was free, she played it, and the clear sounds resonated in the forest. It was a celestial life that was rarely seen in the mortal world.
It was an elegant place to be enjoyed by herself or with a group of friends.
Of course, the celestial atmosphere wouldn't be disturbed if she didn't say, "Here you are! Come and show me how to do this Plants vs Zombies!"
Chapter 297: Friend Circle in QQ
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
"It's just Plants vs Zombies!" Fang Qi opened the store for her. "Did you buy a computer?"
"I did." After spending some time on growing vegetables, Su Tianji had grown from a penniless person who hurt inside when Mr. Fang stole one daikon from her to a well-to-do woman who could even afford a computer.
However, after she bought the computer, she found that she needed other related items to play.
"Good that you have it." Fang Qi clicked open the store and showed her the item. "On the third page, you can buy the game disk of Plants vs Zombies. Then, I'll show you how to install it."
Soon, under Mr. Fang's direction, a game logo appeared on the screen of Su Tianji's computer after it finished installing; it showed one hand sticking out from the ground and grabbing a small flower.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong..."
With the familiar background music, the game started.
It resembled the original version except that the pictures were sillier and cuter, which was why it was cheap.
"Look! Fenghua! Is that a zombie? It's so silly. Giggle..." Yuexin giggled while she watched the game from behind.
"That sunflower is so cute!" Fenghua said with a laugh, "I didn't know that there were such games in the world!"
"Look at the wall-nut beside it. Hahaha! Its bulging eyes are so silly!"
Obviously, this game appealed to the girls.
A box appeared on the center of the screen: [Click to Start].
Su Tianji clicked it, and a red brick farmhouse appeared in the distance under the blue sky studded with white clouds. On the hill before the house was a tombstone, and there was only one option for now: [Adventure].
When Su Tianji clicked it open, they heard the zombie's symbolic hoarse laughter as a dark green arm stuck out from the ground. The game began!
At the beginning of the game, there was a beginner's manual. Su Tianji followed the instructions in the manual and put down a peashooter. Soon, the zombie came close.
The peashooter shot peas at the zombie one after another
"Giggle... this is so dumb!" Fenghua giggled while she watched it from behind. "They are both dumb! How come the zombies are so dumb!"
"This pea is so cute! I want to play it too..."
"This game is simple and silly!" Su Tianji said contemptuously while she played. "I just need to put down the peas and watch them shoot the zombies?"
Su Tianji waved her hand in boredom. "Okay! I know how to play it now. You're free to go."
Then, she murmured to herself, "What's fun about this game? It's boring!"
Fang Qi who had walked to the door paused, and he said while his face twitched, "You don't have to play it if you don't like it."
"I wouldn't play it if I didn't need it to unlock things!" Su Tianji snorted. "Disciples, see off our guest!"
Then, she got busy planting the peashooters. After passing level 1, she got a wall-nut card.
"Ugh? Now, I can grow two plants?" Su Tianji clicked and picked up the card to activate level 2.
With the more items that she picked up, the game gradually went faster. It was clear that that the game was a bit more difficult than the original version. Su Tianji's fingers clicked on the mouse rapidly as she clicked on the screen...
Sometime later, a message appeared. [Excellent! Congratulations to you for passing level 5! You rank No. 1 among your friends. Do you want to share this in the Friend Circle on QQ?]
[Accept!]
Su Tianji got a sense of achievement and thought that it wasn't a big deal to share it.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang had resumed playing the Legend of Mir 2.
Suddenly, a message shot out of QQ. [Your friend, Yuji Immortal, is playing Plants Vs. Zombies and passed level 5. She ranks No. 1 among all her friends. Come and have a look!]
"What's this damn thing?!" His hand shook and almost hit Jiang Xiaoyue's head.
"Sir! What are you doing?" Surprised, Jiang Xiaoyue jumped away like a bunny. "What's Plants vs Zombies?!"
Obviously, she had also received the message in her QQ Friend Circle.
Her little face was full of curiosity.
A while later, another message jumped out of QQ, [Your friend, Yuji Immortal, is playing Plants Vs. Zombies and passed level 10. She ranks No. 1 among all her friends. Come and have a look!]
[Sister Su, what are you playing?]
[What is Plants vs Zombies?]
[How did you get No. 1 among friends?]
[Awesome!]
"Master... Can we play as well?" Fenghua and Yuexin watched the game eagerly behind her.
"Ugh... Let me pass two more levels!"
Replies filled her QQ, and the logo of the penguin jumped on her screen. She had received lots of messages.
The messages released in the Friend Circle can be seen by so many people? Su Tianji froze for a moment and replied to the people she was familiar with. [It's just a small game in Qzone.]
[It sounds amazing.]
[Is it fun?]
[Can I watch you play?]
Su Tianji soon received replies.
[Your friend, Yuji Immortal, invites you to enter her Qzone.]
Nalan Mingxue, Dong Qingli, Xu Zixin, Ye Xiaoye, and many other girls were invited to watch Su Tianji play Plants vs Zombies.
Of course, Xue Daolv, the Liuyun Daoist Palace Master, was also invited into her place, as were Ye Songtao and the others.
A large group of people stood behind Su Tianji and watched her place the wall-nuts to the front, sunflowers to the back, and then filling the screen with peashooters.
The grandmasters watching the game from behind froze in confusion.
What on earth is this thing?!
"Is this Plants vs Zombies?!" Xue Daolv was feeling awkward, regretting that he had wasted his precious computer time, which cost crystals for every minute, on this stuff.
Ye Songtao said, "Ugh... I've something to tend to. I've got to go now!"
However, the girls' reactions were different.
"Sister Su, how do we play this game? It's so cute!"
"Do you need this game to unlock the high-level spiritual plants?" Dong Qingli said, "I remember that several special plant seeds need this game to be unlocked."
"Hahaha! Look at this squash's expression! It's so funny!"
Nalan Mingxue said, "It's indeed cute. Maybe I'll play it too."
"Boss." Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Fang Qi eagerly. "Can I borrow your computer? I want to play the game too..."
Fang Qi's face turned dark. "Aren't you growing vegetables each day? Where's your money?"
Since Su Tianji could buy a computer, how come this girl couldn't afford a computer?!
"Those oranges and daikon are delicious, and I ate them when they matured..." Jiang Xiaoyue said in embarrassment.
Fang Qi was at a loss for words.
This girl ate all of her produce!
Mr. Fang could only say, "You are high maintenance!"
He glanced at the task list and saw a piece of good news; the number of players of the little game, Qzone, had reached 32, and it was still growing.
Chapter 298: My Senior Sister Who Is a Drama Queen
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mo Xian (This name means black immortal in Chinese) was Liu Ningyun's Elder Senior Sister. Her skin was fair and smooth like snow and jade, and her black dress accentuated her dazzling white skin.
She had cloud-like hair, red lips, and white teeth.
As Liu Ningyun's Elder Senior Sister, she was probably more beautiful than Liu Ningyun and was known as the Black Fairy.
The disciples of the Nanhua Faction, including Mo Xian, were well known for their beauty, but they rarely went out of the faction. They spent most of the time on cultivation or gossiping about others before their master. In short, they were cultivators of big factions who knew little about the tough life in the real world.
At this moment, Fang Qi was doing cross-regional trading at the counter, and Zou Mo was walking around the shop leisurely. Suddenly, Zou Mo froze. "Someone's outside of the shop?"
His eyes widened a bit. "No? No people? Was I too sensitive?"
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the door. "Bo... Boss! Look at the entrance..."
"What is it?" Fang Qi looked in the direction of Zou Mo's gaze and saw that snowflakes seemed to be falling outside the door.
He looked closer and found that they were not snowflakes but many white flower petals!
Through the glass door, they saw the flower petals float in the breeze as if there was a flower shower. At this moment, several pretty figures landed slowly from the sky.
"These people bring special effects with them wherever they go?!" Fang Qi froze. "Who are they?"
"Celestials!" Stunned, Zou Mo gaped at the entrance and saw an extremely beautiful woman wearing a black long dress landing on the ground outside of the shop flanked by a group of white-clothed female cultivators.
As the only one wearing black among the women in white, the woman in black was very eye-catching!
Two female cultivators pushed open the door while the two behind, who were holding flower baskets, tossed flower petals into the air. Fang Qi was dazed by the sight. Manual special effects?!
They brought not only special effects but also BGM (background music) as well!
Fang Qi saw another four female cultivators walking into the shop after the woman in black while playing guqin, guzheng, and pipa.
[TL Note: They are all traditional music instruments.]
The woman in black standing in the center was extremely beautiful, and the other female cultivators were also pretty. Coming with these special effects, they looked like fairies descending from heaven into the shop.
"So beautiful!"
"I can't believe that I can see such a beautiful goddess in this small shop!"
All the people sitting close to the entrance looked toward them involuntarily with exclamations.
The women thought, Yeah, they are stunned!
We come prepared. Now, we have the advantage in terms of presence!
Look at those guys in the shop!
Seeing the reactions of the customers in the shop, Mo Xian felt smug as she smiled. Although her talent wasn't as high as Liu Ningyun's, her beauty was unrivalled!
At this moment, she was proud of herself.
Silently, she had imagined what would happen next.
She would look up at the sky with a frost-like expression with her hands clasped behind her back, looking like an immortal.
Then, she would say, "I've defeated you with one move. Do you submit to me?"
Mr. Fang would kowtow toward her. "I submit to you! Black Fairy's spiritual power is boundless, and your reputation stuns the Morning Star Sea Realm!"
She would then reply, "Humph! Since you know your place, I'll forgive you this time. Don't force my hand again!"
"..."
After reviewing this scenario in her mind, Mo Xian walked to the counter with a cold expression. She glanced around with cold eyes, and the atmosphere of the entire shop seemed as chilly as frost.
"Who is the shop owner?" Her voice was extremely cold.
It was completely silent.
No one answered her; the shop fell silent instantly.
She turned her head and saw a row of black-robed cultivators on her left. The leader wore a black cloak, with his hair falling to his shoulders. His expression was cold, and his eyes emitted a chilling and vicious light!
The row of black-robed cultivators behind him had the same profound presences as if they had fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The auras they emitted were frightening and ominous!
She turned her head to the right and saw a middle-aged cultivator wearing a deep blue robe with a wide forehead. With squinted eyes, his expression was chillingly solemn. Beside him was a middle-aged man who was smiling, but his smile sent chills down her spine for some reason.
It looked like the teasing smile of an ancient ferocious beast who had its eyes on a prey.
"Ugh?" Black Fairy snorted in displeasure. "The people in this shop are so rude!"
Instantly, she released the huge suppressive aura of a True Lake Realm cultivator towards the people around her.
Beside her, Zou Mo felt as if a huge mountain crashed down on him with vicious force, and he was almost suffocated by this frightening presence!
"Bo... Boss!" Zou Mo said with difficulty. "This woman is powerful..."
Mo Xian's lips curved up. "You're weak."
Then, she looked toward Fang Qi and was surprised that he was not affected. After sensing his cultivation strength, she was disappointed to find that he wasn't even at the Grand Ancestral Warrior Realm. "Little Brother, did you defeat my useless junior sister with luck? Now that I came here in person, it's not too late for you to apologize."
"Ugh?" Fang Qi froze.
"Erm?" Mo Xian was displeased, feeling like something wasn't right.
In the next instant, the auras of all the people around her shot up!
The auras of the black-robed men on the left suddenly rose, some of them having cultivation strengths at the pinnacle stage of the True Lake Realm!
The leader who wore the big black cloak was at...
The Divine Ocean Realm?!
Then, the auras of the middle-aged man in the blue robe and the people beside him also shot up!
Divine Ocean Realm again?!
"Kid Fang, who's this girl?" Baffled, Mo Tianxing looked over and revealed a trace of his aura.
Another Divine Ocean Realm?!
"So many cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm!"
The female cultivators of the Nanhua Faction felt chilled inside.
They were lofty in the Nanhua Faction, but this place wasn't the Nanhua Faction.
Seeing so many grand cultivators in this place, their hearts sank.
"That man's eyes are ferocious..."
"Elder Senior Sister... It's said that the people in Half City are all demons who kill people without blinking an eye. Will we..."
"Don't say it... I was fine before you said it, but now..."
"Should we leave?"
"Elder Senior Sister, you're different. You have the great dream of defeating that Liu Ningyun! You must hold on!"
"You can't admit defeat!"
"Elder Senior Sister, you can do it!"
Mo Xian nodded and said with gritted teeth, "They are just cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm!"
Beside her, Black Demon said in a cold voice, "Don't you know the rules?! Go and get in line!"
"Okay..."
The other female cultivators instantly submitted, and they went to the rear to stand in line.
Mo Xian was silent.
Under everyone's stare, she moved to the rear and stood in line.
Chapter 299: I'll turn off your computers if you yell again!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
"They are so rude!" Seeing that the cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm ignored them, they were relieved. Then, they began talking again.
"They are crude and mean!"
"They didn't greet the Black Fairy of our Nanhua Faction. Even if we could endure that, they also forced Senior Sister to wait in line!" a female cultivator whispered indignantly.
"They are uncivilized countrymen and don't know better. We will just ignore them!" Another female cultivator comforted them, and their voices gradually got louder.
"Ugh?!" Several Black Demon Guard at the pinnacle stage of the True Lake Realm looked back with chilly eyes and released their full cultivation strengths.
Instantly, the women felt like they were engulfed by a horrifying suppression, and they immediately shut up.
Having finished his deal, Black Demon had a bowl of instant noodles in his left hand and a bottle of Coke in his right hand. Then, he looked at the female disciples of Nanhua Faction up and down with chilly eyes.
The frightening glint in his eyes and the hellish presence emitting from his body engulfed these low-level female cultivators who felt like small chickens swept into a storm in the ocean!
A few female cultivators almost shrunk behind Black Fairy and hid there!
"Humph!" The cold snort hit their hearts like a heavy hammer!
Looking at the tall man in the big black cloak who began looking for his seat while drinking Coke, the women wondered, Who is that guy? His aura is horrifying!
At this moment, Xi Chenzhou of the Coiled Dragon Office walked into the shop and frowned when he saw all the stuff on the ground since the neat and clean environment was a key feature that they liked about this shop. He yelled, "Sir! How come the ground at the entrance is so dirty? Why didn't you clean it up?"
Fang Qi looked up and saw the mess at the entrance. "Who did it? Go and clean it up!"
"Why must we clean it?!" A beautiful white-clothed female cultivator said in a cold voice, "You're rude!"
"Ugh?!" At this moment, Master Tang Yuan and Second Master Tao Kun of the Yuanheng Pavilion had just finished their deals, and they bought a box of spicy sticks. While looking toward the women, Tao Kun sneered. "Mr. Fang has a mild temperament. If this happened in my Yuanheng Pavilion, the people who dare to make such a mess at the shop entrance would be tied up and their legs and hands would be broken before we hang them in front of the shop for seven days and seven nights with salt water dripping onto their bodies!"
"Hello! Master Tang and Second Master Tao! Nice to meet you," Xi Chenzhou said, "If anyone dares to do this in front of my Coiled Dragon Office, they would have been beaten into a meat pie!"
A female disciple shook and said in a trembling voice, "This guy is also a cultivator of the Divine Ocean Realm!"
Mo Xian said, "I know!"
Fang Qi scratched his head. "According to the rules of the shop, any trouble makers would have their legs broken and their cultivations destroyed before being tossed out of the shop. I wonder if making a mess at the entrance is a kind of troublemaking?"
"Break our legs?"
"Destroy our cultivation?!"
Looking around at the many grand cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm, the white-clothed female disciples' legs turned into jelly under these powerful auras, feeling as if they were a group of sheep surrounded by lions.
While thinking of the consequences of having their legs broken and cultivation strengths destroyed in this place, they felt like many sneaky eyes turned toward them.
Even Mo Xian was pale, and she didn't dare to declare that her true purpose here was to beat the shop owner. She screamed, "No! It's not making trouble!"
The other female cultivators yelled in horror, "We'll clean it up now!"
They hurried over to sweep the ground!
At this moment, a beast carriage stopped before Fang Qi's shop, and Fang Qi felt like the big black dog that was dragging the cart was very familiar.
A guy wearing a short vest got off the carriage, revealing himself to be Wang Xian, the carriage driver who had driven Fang Qi to this place.
"Ugh? Sir, your shop is getting more luxurious!" He looked at the white-clothed beauties who were sweeping the ground at the entrance and said, "Even the janitors in your shop are as beautiful as fairies!"
"Who are janitors?"
"You're a janitor!"
"Don't you have eyes?"
"..."
They exploded in a fury.
...
After they cleaned up the ground, Mr. Fang had finished dealing with things and resumed playing the Legend of Mir 2.
Zou Mo asked, "Do you want to play games or watch a TV Series?"
The female cultivators didn't answer, and Mo Xian's face looked so cold that it seemed to be covered in ice. Also, a storm seemed to be brewing in her chilly eyes.
"Ugh?" When they kept silent, Zou Mo asked curiously, "Are you not here to play games or watch a TV Series?"
"Senior Sister, we're no match for them, so we shouldn't act boldly..." a female cultivator murmured.
Mo Xian froze. "We're here to play games and watch the TV Series!"
"Yes! Yes..." The others nodded eagerly; their legs were still soft under the suppression of so many cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm.
Zou Mo was feeling awkward. "Do you want to play games or watch the TV Series?"
They answered in unison, "Both! Both!"
After paying, they suppressed their fury and glared at Mr. Fang who was playing the Legend of Mir 2 while whispering to themselves, "You can do nothing but hide behind the powerful cultivators!"
"Shameless!"
"Look! What's that guy eating?!"
"It smells so good!"
"Elder Senior Sister! Look at this TV drama! So powerful!"
[Nature is indifferent; it treats creation like sacrificial straw-dogs!]
"This guy can even fly while stepping on a sword!"
All of them were shocked by this scene.
"..."
Inside Su Tianji's Qzone. "Master, let me play for a bit... Didn't you say it wasn't fun..."
Fenghua and Yuexin watched Su Tianji plant peashooters and wall-nuts while humming some unknown tune.
"Wait a second!" Su Tianji said, "I'm going to pass level 20. After I pass another five levels, five more levels! I'll let you play!"
"Okay..."
"Then, we'll wait a little more..."
"Look! The zombie is eating the wall-nut that Master planted. Haha! It looks so dumb!"
– Sometime later in Half City –
"Senior Sister... Shouldn't we give the shop owner a hard beating to redeem the reputation of our Nanhua Faction?"
"We... will watch the TV Series first! Watch the TV Series first!" Mo Xian had a vicious light in her eyes. "After I master all the ultimate techniques in this TV Series, I'll redeem the reputation of the Nanhua Faction!"
At this moment, she began to imagine the scenario where she mastered the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell, using it to beat all the big forces in the Origins Internet Club and Mr. Fang, who was hiding behind them, and also return to the faction and defeat the Nanhua Heavenly Fairy, Liu Ningyun, with one sword strike.
"Great heavenly power, turn into godly lightning and follow the direction of my sword!" With a cold expression, Mo Xian chanted the incarnation in a low voice.
The other female disciples shrieked in excitement, "Senior Sister chanted the incantation perfectly!"
"I think she's as good as Lu Xueqi!"
"She'll look majestic when she uses this technique!"
"I'll turn off your computers if you yell again!" Sitting nearby, Mr. Fang who was annoyed by all the noises, roared impatiently.
Chapter 300: I'm not smoking a cigarette but loneliness
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Embarrassed, the girls whispered to each other.
"He knows nothing but how to hide behind the grand cultivators!"
"Humph! His cultivation strength is even lower than the Ancestral Warrior Realm. I can beat him with one hand!"
"If not for the grand cultivators of the Divine Ocean Realm, Senior Sister would have defeated him long ago!"
"The stuff in this shop is miraculous, I wonder which senior master created them..."
"He must have benefited from that senior!"
"Humph!" Mo Xian snorted in disdain.
The girls imagined many satisfying scenarios to alleviate their frustration of being interrupted by Mr. Fang. "Let's continue watching the TV Series!"
"After we reach the realm of the Earthly Immortal, as Green Leaf Ancestral Master did..." This scenario seemed distant, but it felt good to imagine it.
...
After playing the Legend of Mir 2 for a while, Mr. Fang returned to Qzone.
"Usero! Usero!" Song Qingfeng controlled Iori Yagami and copied this character's shout while using Shiki Yami Barai.
On the other side, Lin Shao controlled Kyo Kusanagi and leaped over the purple flames created by Shiki Yami Barai. Then, Lin Shao pushed the joystick violently when Kyo Kusanagi landed on the ground!
On the screen, a huge fire beam rose around Kyo Kusanagi!
Desperation Move – Mu Shiki
Boom! Boom...
"You guys! Time is up!" Loli Jiang Xiaoyue had watched them play for a long time, and she was disgusted with them for occupying the computer in her boss' Qzone. "It's my turn to play Plants vs Zombies!"
"After this match! After this match!" Song Qingfeng yelled, "Light Kick! Kuzu Kaze! Ugh? Why didn't I release it?"
"Trash Young Master Song, you can't even use your moves! Watch me!"
Then, Xu Luo said, "Ugh? The shop owner is here. Would you like to play a few rounds, Sir?"
"Let's do it!" Mr. Fang was eager to play. "I'll fight you with one hand!"
"What?!" Jiang Xiaoyue exploded in fury. "I want to play Plants vs Zombies!"
"Why play Plants vs Zombies!" Mr. Fang looked contemptuous. "It's fun to play the King of Fighters. Watch how I beat three guys senseless with only one hand!"
Then, he plunked on the seat.
"I will choose my characters randomly!" Mr. Fang clicked on three question marks which represented three random characters.
"Hey! Get off!" Displeased, Jiang Xiaoyue sat beside Fang Qi, trying to push him off with her petite body.
She tried her best but failed.
She pouted in anger, and her little face was full of disdain.
"I'll only play for ten minutes!" Mr. Fang compromised.
"Humph!" Jiang Xiaoyue looked away in disdain.
...
– On the other side –
"Master! Master!" Having watched for a long time, Fenghua and Yuexin asked weakly with tears on their faces, "Can you let us play for a bit?"
"We can buy computers in a couple of days... Let us have a try first..."
"Okay... Just one try!" Su Tianji had passed dozens of levels in one sitting. She felt like the game was average; it was simple and the zombies were stupid.
However, she still wanted to play it. Why?
It was thrilling when a big group of zombies swarmed up...
Besides, it was a good scene after she created a big group of cute and silly plants to fight zombies. It was a totally different experience from those other fancy games which featured life-like battles!
Fenghua and Yuexin fought to play the game. "I'll play it first!"
"Hey! Let's decide with rock-paper-scissors!" The girls waved their small fists...
"Your computer time is up!"
"Ahhh!"
The two girls felt like crying...
Su Tianji covered her forehead in embarrassment. "Ugh... You can play it tomorrow..."
...
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue finally got to play Plants vs Zombies.
"Boss, do you know how to play this game?" Jiang Xiaoyue had watched it, but she still felt uncertain since it was her first time playing it.
"Of course. It's a simple game. Why not?"
"Put a peashooter here." Mr. Fang directed her.
"Put it so far away?" Jiang Xiaoyue was baffled.
"Put a sunflower here and try to create a line."
"Ugh? Why?" Jiang Xiaoyue was confused.
– Sometime later –
With intense background music, zombies walked leisurely into Jiang Xiaoyue's house.
[Zombies invaded your house mercilessly!]
"Ahh!" Jiang Xiaoyue screamed when she heard the sound of the zombies gnawing brains.
She glared at Mr. Fang angrily and bared her teeth, wishing that she could bite him. "Scummy Boss!"
"What happened? What happened?" At this moment, people like Ruan Ning and Xi Yue also came into Fang Qi's Qzone and saw Jiang Xiaoyue's sulky face.
Hearing her recount the incident, they turned toward Fang Qi in unison and said in disdain, "You even bully Xiaoyue!"
"Old Demon Fang is heartless!"
"Scummy shop owner!"
"Xiaoyue, don't heal him in the future!"
"Ignore him! Let's play it. It's very simple!"
"Okay!" They dumped Mr. Fang and began enjoying the game themselves.
They even sent a message in a small chat room named 'Morning Star Dajin Small Chat Group' where Mr. Fang wasn't a member. [Scummy Mr. Fang even bullied Xiaoyue! He's heartless!]
[Agreed. Old Demon Fang is heartless!]
[He's an old pervert!]
[???] Nalan Mingxue sent three question marks.
Then, she sent a message to Mr. Fang. [What did you do this time?]
At this moment, Mr. Fang opened the door and walked out. After lighting a cigarette which he bought from the store in Qzone, he leaned on the doorframe and took a puff.
He spat out the smoke which floated up into the sky.
Nalan Mingxue walked in, nonplussed.
Curious about what had happened, people like Song Qingfeng and Lin Shao also came in.
"Hey! Sir, why are you here smoking all by yourself?"
"What do you know?" Mr. Fang exhaled a mouthful of smoke. "I'm not smoking a cigarette but loneliness."
Nalan Mingxue touched her forehead.
Song Qingfeng: "..."
Lin Shao: "..."
Xu Luo: "..."
In the two QQ groups named 'Morning Star Dajin Small Chat Group' and 'Dajin Game Center', someone posted a picture of Mr. Fang leaning on the doorframe while smoking. Engulfed by smoke, he looked celestial. The words below the picture said, [I'm not smoking a cigarette but loneliness.]
[The shop owner is awesome!]
[What can I say?]
[He deserves this treatment...]
[These words are a perfect match for his expression...]
[Very dashing!]
[This kid is a damned genius...] An Huwei followed that up with an ? emoji.
After a while, a user with the ID of Junior Castellan An posted a picture of An Huwei smoking on a tobacco pipe in his Qzone with the words, [I'm not smoking tobacco but loneliness.]
An Huwei tried hard to explain, "Very dashing!"
Nalan Hongwu also posted a picture of himself smoking on a tobacco pipe while he lounged on an armchair. [I'm not smoking tobacco but loneliness.]
...
Sometime later, in the Dajin Royal Family's Internal Chat Group, a picture was posted with the words, [I'm not smoking tobacco but loneliness]; it was from Emperor Ji Wu.
All the other members of the Royal Family fell silent.
