Black Tech Internet Cafe System

Except for the parts that hackers could change and overwrite, the virtual reality world in ‘The Matrix’ had everything that a real world could have. Even if some people knew that it was all fake, their bodies still would think that it was real subconsciously.

It was a complete world built on the algorithms created by an AI’s super intelligence.

In contrast, most of the current fantasy realms and fantasy arrays were low-level simulations of the real world. The goods ones could only give people the illusions, let alone simulating the basic structure of the world.

Of course, this was a concern for the super masters instead of the weak cultivators and young people; they didn’t have to spend time on that.

Even for the super masters, they had a long way to go in this area.

Anyway, it was something that they would consider in the future. Right now, the only thing that they could do was to watch as many movies and play as many games as possible in this internet café.

“Master.” The moment Wang Xie and Gu Tingyun entered the door, a figure went toward them.

“Senior Master Zhou Mo?”

Zhou Mo came into the shop with the Baoping Spiritual Master and Feng Yangzi who had monitored the Heavenly Academy exam on the spiritual ship with him.

Wang Xie was about to go up and greet them when a figure with a cold face intercepted him.

“Brother Wang!”

“Brother Xun?!”

Xun Yuan looked cold. “I can’t believe that you are throwing your cultivation away! Are you so arrogant that you think you can rest and play after defeating me? Are you so full of yourself? Or you just hold me in such little regard?”

In the Jiuhua City Shop, Nalan Mingxue opened the Post Bar as usual and uploaded a post that she organized while eating instant noodles.

– In Yuanyang City Shop –

“F*ck! New Snow posted another guide!”

“What? New Snow posted another guide?” Wang Xie’s eyes brightened. “Master!”

“Good!” Gu Tingyun stroked his long beard and said, “I’m stuck in the Ghost Realm. I wonder if today’s guide is about the Ghost Realm.”

“I think so!” Wang Xie said immediately, “Brother Xun, I’ll talk to you later!”

Gu Tingyun looked pleased. “Let’s go online and take a look!”

Then, he immediately took a seat and opened the Post Bar.

He saw a highlighted post that was pinned at the top of the bar: [Guide—Chasing After Souls in the Ghost Realm] [Author: New Snow]

“Hahaha! It’s indeed about the Ghost Realm!” Gu Tingyun immediately clicked open the post.

[The general map of the outer range of ghost realm: (map)]

[The discovered side missions (Gongzi Xiao provided a part of the information)…]

“Brother Wang?”

“Junior Brother Tang! Hurry up! New Snow updated the guide for the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3!”

“Really?!”

A player with the ID ‘Lu Xiaoxian’ and the profile photo of white deer replied under the post, [Thank you, Great New Snow! This guide is awesome! ? Can you tell me who’s this cute Gongzi Xiao? Why does he always provide information?]

Gu Tingyun glanced at the reply before copying and pasting it.

[Thank you, Great New Snow! This guide is awesome! ? Can you tell me who’s this cute Gongzi Xiao? Why does he always provide information?]

Then, he hurriedly entered the game after replying.

Clicking open the post, Wang Xie saw this reply. “…”

Xun Yuan was still standing at the entrance, and he was at a loss for words.

“Young Master… Is that… Senior Gu?”

Xun Yuan’s face turned dark. “Not only him… I saw Castellan Zong… and Elder Yu, Zhou Mo, the Baoping Spiritual Master…”

“What should we do now?”

“Let’s see what they are doing.” He quickly walked over to watch from behind.

On Gu Tingyun’s screen was a young man.

Wang Xie glanced at his screen and said, “Master, you’re fighting the Fire Ghost King already?”

“Fighting? The Fire Ghost King?” Xun Yuan looked at Wang Xie in bafflement.

“Yeah. I didn’t have time to explain it to you before, Brother Xun. You might not know…” Then, Wang Xie briefly told him about the game.

On the screen was a world completely engulfed in flames.

Standing before the main character was an ugly, burly, and fat monster with three horns on the forehead.

The monster had been a human who was burned to death by heavenly fire in the ancient time. After his death, he had turned into a fire ghost and didn’t want to enter another cycle of life of reincarnation due to his craving for the freedom in the Ghost Realm. His spiritual power was great, and the fire that he could use was hellfire and could burn souls into ashes.

On the screen, hellfire flew around while lava flowed in from all directions. One could even feel the extremely high temperature through the screen.

Xun Yuan murmured with a gloomy expression. “I’ll see how good and fun this game is!”

Since the opponent was the Fire Ghost King, the best array to deal with him was the water array. On the screen, Jing Tian and Long Kui changed positions and used water-elemental spiritual spells to deal with the surrounding heat wave so that their combat strengths wouldn’t decrease.

On the screen, Jing Tian formed and cast a spiritual spell, and an iceberg dashed out from the ground!

Fire and wind collided on the screen, and lava splashed out while flames suddenly spread all over the place.

“Young Master, this looks powerful!” a purple-clothed maid yelled in astonishment.

“…” Xun Yuan turned to look at another screen.

The scene on this screen looked even more awe-inspiring. The four people stood in positions of a pre-arranged array and gathered their spiritual essence in one spot.

“All-Directional Demon-Sealing Strike!” Tang Yu yelled.

“Ahh!” Dumbfounded, Xun Yuan watched the shattered ground and mountain on the screen. “Did Young Master Tang launch this technique?”

How come it is earth-shaking?!

With gritted teeth, he put crystals on the counter. “Sir, I want to play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy too!”

“Um…”

“Activate the game for my Zi’er as well!”

Eight hours had passed since he started playing.

He leaped up from his seat as if there were a spring under his butt. “Impossible! Isn’t it a game?! How come it’s so powerful?!”

“Brother Wang! This game is so great! The reincarnation of an immortal! I’m the reincarnation of an immortal!” Elated, he turned to speak to Wang Xie who had just gotten offline.

“Yeah!” Wang Xie looked calm. “It’s indeed powerful.”

Xun Yuan turned to look at Tang Yu. “Young Master Tang, I just experienced the sword techniques of an immortal! It is unbelievable!”

Tang Yu looked nonchalant as well. “Yeah.”

Then, he turned to Lei Ge who had just gotten offline. “Junior Brother Lei!”

Lie Ge looked cool. “It is indeed powerful.”

While his face twitched, Xun Yuan thought to himself, Can you guys have a different expression when saying the word ‘powerful’?

Walking past them, Yue Bai glanced at him and said, “How come you only learned about it? We’re close to passing the game.”

“Ugh…”

Mu Qing said in disdain, “He looks so startled. Such a newbie.”

Xun Yuan exchanged a look with his maid.

“Young Master, it seems that only the two of us are new players…”

Xun Yuan’s face turned dark.

Ignoring him, Mu Qing asked, “Oh, Senior Sister, I heard that New Snow is going to try to get the perfect ending; is it true?”

“No, she got the imperfect ending (Fighting with Chong Lou for some time before being defeated); I guess she will have to wait for the next time to achieve the perfect ending.”

“The perfect ending is so hard to get…” Mu Qing said with a frown, “It’s said that the players in the Jiuhua City Shop all got imperfect endings.”

“It can’t be helped.” Tang Yu said on the side, “Brother Lou has already restricted his power, and that’s the best we can get.”

“So powerful,” Wang Xie said while clicking his tongue. “After playing the game for the first round, we can’t keep many of the treasures. It’s said that New Snow has been focusing purely on sword techniques.”

“We have to admit that the players in their shop are very good…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Xun Yuan said with heroic passion, “When we get used to the game, we’ll leave them in the dust!”

“Hahahaha! It’s good to have confidence.” As geniuses of the Heavenly Academy, they could admire others but would never admit defeat.
