Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The old man with the high-pitched voice said, “The Premier and the others praised the TV series, Jade Dynasty, the most! They said the G.o.dly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell and Tai Chi Mystic Pure Dao are extremely exquisite and worth watching!”
Since Ji Wu didn’t want to disclose his ident.i.ty, they called each other Lord and Butler.
“Yeah.” Ji Wu nodded. “The Premier told me that all the disciples of the so-called Green Cloud Faction could use the sword control technique, and it is even more magnificent than the factions in the Wuwei Daoist Alliance in our country!”
He waved his hand. “Butler Yu, we rarely come to Jiangnan. Let’s go and watch Jade Dynasty!”
“Yes!” Eunuch Yu hurried to the counter.
Meanwhile, Ji Wu looked around the internet Cafe. “According to Grey’s report, this shop has a mysterious master behind it, and even he couldn’t enter the shop… I wonder what this shop will bring to me…”
He found a seat by the wall and thought, However, according to the old Premier, Jade Dynasty can greatly increase the viewer’s cultivation strength, just like how the First Emperor gained his growth of cultivation strength through looking at a star map. I’ll see if it’s true. If it’s true, this shop will bring great fortune to my Dajin!
At this thought, he sat down, and he suddenly smelled an extraordinary aroma.
What’s the source of this wonderful aroma?! Ji Wu was amazed. I’ve tasted all kinds of rare delicacies in the world, but I’ve never smelled such an aroma that can pique my appet.i.te this greatly!
At this moment, two men walked over.
“Instructor Chen, you’re awesome! There are so many talented disciples in Cla.s.s A!”
“I’m just a lucky guy!”
They chatted while eating two bowls of instant noodles, glancing around to find a place to sit. At this moment, this serious-looking middle-aged man who was wearing a yellow robe stood before them and asked, “What are you eating?”
“Instant noodles!” Chen Zhong pointed at the counter and said, “You just ask that little girl at the counter for instant noodles.”
At this moment, Eunuch Yu walked over and reported, “My lord, Jade Dynasty is activated.”
“Okay!” Ji Wu nodded. “I found the instant noodles extremely aromatic. Go and buy it for me.”
“I’ll get it right now!” Soon, he returned with two bowls of instant noodles.
Ji Wu took the bowl and sniffed. “It’s indeed appetizing! Except for the mysterious master with extremely high cultivation strength, the shop also has a chef better than those in my royal palace?”
He took one bite and drank the rich soup. After inhaling deeply, he said, “It’s one of the ultimate delicacies in the world! Did you ask who cooked the noodles?”
“Ugh…” Eunuch Yu’s fact turned stiff. “The truth is that I prepared the instant noodles…”
Ji Wu froze. “Butler Yu, when did you learn this skill?”
Eunuch Yu replied, “I just put the ingredients into the bowl and poured in hot water. Anyone can make this delicacy.”
“There are great secrets in the noodles and the seasoning, and this must be this shop’s special dis.h.!.+” Eunuch Yu pointed at the sausage in Ji Wu’s bowl and continued, “This sausage is the essence of this food!”
Soon, they sat down and ate the noodles and sausages.
“My Lord, I’ll get you a bottle of c.o.ke. The little girl said it would feel great to drink c.o.ke when watching Jade Dynasty!” Eunuch Yu said, “After these, you must have a container of Haagen-Dazs, but you must eat it as soon as you get it. It’s more delicious than the Crisp Mountain in the Royal Palace!”
“There are so many procedures to watching Jade Dynasty?” Ji Wu nodded and leaned back on the chair, watching the TV series while eating the food and snacks.
– Six hours later –
“Where are the seventh and the eighth episodes?!” Ji Wu stood up from the seat.
“I’ve asked them. It seems that they are not released due to the process of production…”
“You’re lucky that they will be released tomorrow.” At this moment, Cheng Zhong who was sitting not far from them also got offline. “We have waited for more than half a week now!”
“Jade Dynasty is very good, but it is a TV series about cultivators. Comparatively, we warriors can’t learn as much from it.”
“You’re right. In my opinion, they should produce a TV series focused on warriors. You see, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy is also about the cultivators. As for Diablo, it’s about foreigners, and we can only learn some of the skills from it since most of them are not fitting for us to use. Besides, it will take us a lot of time to master them.”
The few young men chatted with each other and left the internet cafe.
Watching them leave, Ji Wu frowned slightly while he savored Jade Dynasty. “They have a point. But this shop is indeed miraculous. Butler Yu, go and ask them if the computers are for sale.”
Since this emperor didn’t have absolute control over all things in Dajin and he was cautious about the mysterious master behind this shop, he had to resort to the option of purchase.
…
“For sale?!” Sitting before a computer desk, Fang Qi had just exited from Diablo. In bafflement, he looked at the old man and the middle-aged man in front of him who were requesting to buy computers from him.
The old man with the high-pitched voice extended five fingers. “How about 50,000 crystals? You have many spiritual artifacts here, and it’s no big deal for you to sell one or two of them, right?”
Fang Qi’s face turned dark at this high offering. However, the situation was different now, and he didn’t care if the offer was 5,000 or 50,000 crystals since he could make this amount of money sooner or later.
“Do you think I’m in need of 50,000 crystals?”
Eunuch Yu’s face fell.
At this moment, the man behind him walked up and said, “Sir, do you have the interest of moving this shop to another place?”
Fang Qi was more confused. Looking at this man’s dignified and solemn face, he felt like he had seen this man somewhere.
“Sir, I’m doing well in this place. Why should I move it?”
“What about moving it into the Royal Palace?” Ji Wu was quite confident in his palace. “Do you have interest in this?”
Fang Qi was even more surprised. “The princes and the princess come to my shop to play every day. Why should I move the shop to the royal palace? Do you think I have nothing else to do?”
“Do you know who you are talking to?!” Eunuch Yu immediately yelled.
“Butler Yu!” Ji Wu gave Eunuch Yu a hard look, demanding him to back off. Then, he stared at Fang Qi and asked, “Mr. Fang, if the Emperor of Dajin invites the master behind you to the Royal Palace and ask you to move the shop there, what would you do?”
“The invitation came from the Emperor?” Fang Qi observed this person and hesitated.
“So, you’re sent by the Emperor?” Fang Qi looked at them and realized the situation.
Ji Wu didn’t confirm or deny his conjecture. “The Emperor will treat him as an honored guest.”
“This is a rare honor!” Eunuch Yu said with pride. “Then, His Majesty shall give you an official position as well!”
“Not interested.”
Ji Wu was at a loss for words.
Eunuch Yu got furious instantly. “You show no appreciation of a fortune! You want to take it the hard way?!”
Ji Wu was displeased as well. “Let me meet the person behind you.”
Doesn’t matter how great the mysterious master’s strength is, it is a grand honor to become the honored guest of a country!
