Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Well! You can’t even give me some rest during the new year holiday, Mr. Fang thought to himself about the System in contempt while he explained the events to Su Tianji and other customers.
The System Interface showed the following lines. [Host, please be ambitious and motivated.]
“Ambitious? Am I not ambitious enough?” Mr. Fang said unwillingly, “I cultivated hard each day, got all S rankings in all of Dante’s missions, defeated all opponents with one hand in the King of Fighters, became the best driver in Grand Theft Auto 5… I even play Vergil well despite the fact that I just began the game. Don’t you know how I obtained my high cultivation strength?!”
System: “The Super Gift Box contains luxurious new year gifts. It’s the host’s choice to do the task or not.”
Mr. Fang instantly brightened and got energetic. “When did I say that I wouldn’t do it?!”
Besides Su Tianji, the other customers who came over to buy instant noodles also noticed the new announcements.
Mr. Fang glanced at the calendar and found that there were about two weeks for registration and preparation.
“Sir, what’s this music festival?!” Su Tianji couldn’t take her eyes off of this activity. “Since it’s related to music and held in Qzone, I have traded several cla.s.sic guzheng sheet music, and I am sure that I’ll get a good place in the compet.i.tion!”
“Sir! The King of Fighters Compet.i.tion! The King of Fighters Compet.i.tion!” Song Qingfeng squeezed to the counter. “I want to register for the King of Fighters Compet.i.tion!”
Nalan Mingxue asked, “Can we… register for all these events?”
“Of course,” Mr. Fang told them that this party was pure entertainment, and they could register for as many activities as they wished.
“Then, we will register for all the activities!”
“So do we! All of them!” Xu Zixin and Shen Qingqing also walked up.
“We do too!” Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu didn’t want to be outdone.
“Register me in the King of Fighters Compet.i.tion!” Even Nalan Hongwu joined the fun. “And that… em… cosplay too!”
“I… I want to partic.i.p.ate too!”
Using its advantage of flying, a black cloud flew above the crowd and arrived at the counter. “I want to attend it too!”
All the people looked at the black cloud in a daze. “Sir, can pets attend this party?”
“Who?! Who said that I’m a pet?!” Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, it leaped up and glanced around viciously. “I’m the supreme, almighty Demon Lord who swept across the Morning Star Sea Realm, unrivaled!”
“Ahahahah! Just you?”
“Demon?”
“Go away!” Mr. Fang looked disdainful. “You’re just a teleportation array. What can you cosplay as?”
“…”
Instantly, people crowded around the counter.
Meanwhile in the Half City Shop, customers were becoming enthusiastic about the party as well.
People from the Nanhua Faction sat on the couches after registration, waiting for their turns to get online.
Mo Xian had a cup of milk tea in her hand. “Who wants to attend the cosplay event? We will get one extra hour of game time if we attend that!”
“Me! Me! Me!” Yue Yan immediately answered, “I’ve sent a message to Senior Sister Lian and asked her to make a disciple robe of the Green Cloud Faction and a copy of the Tianya Sword. From now on, call me Lu Xueqi!”
“I’m Lu Xueqi!” Mo Xian glared at her.
“You are Elder Senior Sister Wen Min from Jade Dynasty! Lu Xueqi doesn’t wear black clothes like you do!” Yue Yan immediately changed the subject. “Oh, what’s your plan, Junior Sister Liu?”
Liu Ningyun chuckled, “I won’t fight with you; I’ve chosen someone else already.”
While some were fighting for different characters, Song Qingfeng and the others were well-prepared.
“Hahahaha!” Song Qingfeng was holding a brown tight-fitting uniform, and the image of a sun could be seen on the back.
Standing by him, Lin Shao was wearing a dark blue vest over a white s.h.i.+rt with a pair of red trousers. On the back of the vest was the image of a crescent moon. With his arms bent and lifted over his head, he shouted, “Tsuki wo miru tabi omoi dase!”
The initial pose before using Iori Yagami’s Desperation Move – Kin 1211 s.h.i.+ki Ya Otome.
Besides them, most of the other customers were also getting prepared.
…
For cultivators outside of the Deserted Sea Realm, the cultivators living in the Deserted Sea Realm were backwards and had low cultivation strength.
To go out of the Deserted Sea Realm, they needed not only to cross vast oceans but to break through the ‘Heavenly Forbidden Zones’ which had existed since prehistoric times.
No one in this world knew about the origins of the Heavenly Forbidden Zones. People only knew that the ocean area east to the Morning Sea Area Realm was called the Nether Sea, and all the major factions listed it as the No.1 Forbidden Place.
The three saint factions called the westernmost area Taihuang Mountain, which meant ‘extremely deserted mountain’. The people of these three factions feared it so much that no one dared to venture inside.
The northernmost place was a bone-chilling icy land. If ordinary cultivators entered it, their spiritual essence would be frozen to ice. The mountain peaks covered in white snow concealed many fierce beasts that had lived there ever since the prehistoric times. In short, it was a bitter cold place that even Divine Palace Realm cultivators with extremely high cultivation strength couldn’t pa.s.s.
According to the legends, the only path leading to the blessed land existed in the vast ocean in the south. In the past, some cultivators came to the Deserted Sea Realm from outside, and they said that they came from Spiritual State.
According to the legends, it was a vast land with tall celestial mountains and abundant spiritual essence.
However, out of the cultivators who had sailed into the southern sea to look for that land, few had sent back messages.
However, this secret information was only known to the forces such as the three saint factions, which was why very few cultivators in the Deserted Sea Realm had the chance to communicate with the outside world. Since the teleportation array of the three saint factions had shut down thousands of years ago, the communication to the outside world was almost completely cut off.
For cultivators in the Deserted Sea Realm, the cultivators from the outside world were mysterious and mighty with special powers. However, for Jiang Xuan, the path in the southern sea was not as magical as it was told in the legends on the Deserted Sea Realm.
In their eyes, the Deserted Sea Realm was only a wasteland separated by Heavenly Forbidden Zones which seemed to have appeared due to nature, not worthy of their efforts to enter. To their surprise, the little princess of the Jiang Family had come to this place to play.
Knowing that she would return to Spiritual State to go to school in the coming spring, the young girl was quite reluctant to leave. When Mr. Fang was in the shop to watch everything, she went out to buy many special local stuff, such as new communication jades, handguns, and sniper rifles.
As for the new employees, the Half City Shop had had already solved this issue. Ruan Ning, Fang Qi’s warm-hearted neighbor, had gotten used to keeping an eye on the shop for Mr. Fang. Since she had hired someone to manage her own shop, she applied for the clerk position in the Half City Shop. With Zou Mo, there were two employees in the shop now.
-Meanwhile in Jiuhua City-
In the long line of people applying for the shop clerk position, a golden-robed young man greeted Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang’s face twitched, and he wondered, Why did this guy who is on the blacklist sneak in here?
