Chapter 463: Test the Theory
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“This movie is superb!” In the Half City Shop, a big quilt yelled in mid-air. “If I construct something with the laws that I know this way, I can change that world however I want, eh? Hahahaha! Anyone who enters the area built with my laws will die for sure!”
The laughter suddenly stopped when it remembered that it didn’t even have spiritual essence; how could it create a world?!
It was deflated.
“Gegege… Thank you!” A demonic woman with brown hair and green eyes covered her smirk with her hand. “Old demon, your idea is worth a try!”
“You can’t try it! It’s my idea!”
“This idea… sounds good!” Unbound King who had great hearing overheard them.
In the past, few people had the opportunity to deal with such things. But now, after reading the Heavenly Book and watching all kinds of battles between immortals and demons, many grand cultivators and warriors were gradually getting contact with this new realm.
Of course, for most of them, they only got a glimpse of it.
“This idea is indeed good!” Shui Xianyun got close and joined the conversation.
“Ahhh! None of you can try it! It’s my invention!”
“Shut up! If you yell again, I’ll deal with you as a trouble maker!” Ruan Ning gave it a hard look.
“…” It instantly shut up.
– Meanwhile, in the Yuanyang City Shop –
The cultivators and warriors put down their virtual reality headsets one after another.
No matter if they were grand cultivators or ordinary disciples, none of them could remain calm.
“Senior sister.”
Yue Bai felt someone tugging at her clothes. She turned and saw Mu Qing with an uneasy expression on her face.
“I suspect that it’s our consciousness that’s sitting here while our physical bodies…” she spoke haltingly, “After all, at the beginning of the movie, Neo didn’t know that he was living in the virtual reality world.”
“I have the same suspicion!” Jiang Xiaoyue brought her small arms together before her chest and mumbled, “We might be living in a virtual reality world. I’m so awesome, so I must be ‘The One’! We’ll save humankind together!”
It was perfect.
“Nonsense! I’m ‘The One’!” Mu Qing complained.
“I want to be The One too.” The big white deer said with its head lowered.
Jiang Xiaoyue said, “Whoever has the greatest power will be ‘The One’!”
Sitting beside Jiang Xiaoyue, Mr. Fang pinched her cheek with a dark expression. “I think you just want to be ‘The One’.”
The loli copied Neo in the movie and gave him a middle finger in disdain.
“Big Brother, what do you think?!”
Jiang Xuan didn’t hear her since he had started watching the movie for the second time.
“…”
Yue Bai said, “Anyway, their weapons are impressive. I wonder where we can get them…”
The other disciples from the Heavenly Academy were also talking about the weapons.
“Brother Tang,” w.a.n.g Xie said, “The Tang Family is famous for making machines and spiritual artifacts. I wonder if you can make copies of the weapons in the movie.”
“Right! Young Master Tang!” Xu Chengfeng, a direct descendant of the Xu Family with excellent talent, was quite close to the geniuses from these ancient families. When he put down his virtual reality headset, the first thought that he had was the Tang Family.
A burly man also came over; he was Lei Ge of the Lei Family. “Young Master Tang… Your Tang Family…”
Before he could finish, he heard shrieks beside him.
“Are these… pistols?!”
Mu Qing stared at the two pistols in Jiang Xiaoyue’s hands.
The antique-looking guns had patterns engraved on the surface; they were copies of Dante’s handguns.
“Humph!”
“Wow! Junior Sister Xiaoyue!” Mu Qing exclaimed, “Can you fire these guns?”
“Yes.” Li Lanruo had watch Jiang Xiaoyue deal with a group of cultivators with these guns.
These guns might not be able to deal with strong cultivators such as Lei Ge and Xu Chengfeng, but they were more than enough to deal with cultivators such as Du Zhuzi who were weaker. They consumed little spiritual essence and had great power.
“Of course.” After replying, Jiang Xiaoyue walked out of the shop and fired two shots.
Glancing at the two bullet holes with smoke in the ground, w.a.n.g Xie looked toward Tang Yu standing beside him.
“We didn’t make those!” Tang Yu said, “It seems that the shop owner doesn’t only have cars but guns as well?”
The production of guns was a partners.h.i.+p between Mr. Fang, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, and the people who won prizes in the Counter Strike Compet.i.tion. After many breakthroughs that they made in technology, they had long pa.s.sed the difficult stage in which they couldn’t even mimic an ordinary pistol.
Jiang Xiaoyue injected some spiritual essence into the guns, and blue light instantly engulfed them.
“Xiaoyue, you’re awesome!” Mu Qing had stars in her eyes.
“Where did you get the guns?!” People like Xu Chengfeng and Lei Ge stared at the guns with widened eyes.
After firing, Jiang Xiaoyue met Mr. Fang’s gaze and gave him a victory hand with some smugness.
Mr. Fang’s face turned dark. “Don’t ruin the ground before my shop!”
“Ugh…”
These weapons looked ordinary, but when Smith and Neo used them, they looked unrivaled!
The bullets were fast, convenient, powerful; they could pierce through walls and be used from a long distance.
Of course, in the real world, it was almost impossible to upgrade the bullets at will casually.
Perhaps the big demon in Half City had the ability to mimic some parts of such power, but it didn’t even have any spiritual essence in its body right now.
While almost none of the cultivators in the Deserted Sea Realm could reach the realm of laws, the cultivators in the Spiritual State were different.
Their abilities and acc.u.mulations in this aspect were greater than those people in the Deserted Sea Realm.
The laws were the rules that all the things in the world had to follow and operate by. In this world, the laws and the rules were the same thing.
They just had different names in different places.
Almost each of the families in the Spiritual State obtained and mastered more than one law, which they had gotten either through inheritance or chance since they had been around for a long time.
Some of the laws were stored in artifacts; some were supreme spiritual items born with the power of laws; some were artifact spirits that had been inherited from the beginning of time for ages. The laws were the inheritances that enabled the ancient families to prosper for many, many years.
Other than these ancient families, a few extremely powerful forces and cultivators had also reached the realm of laws and had saved and pa.s.sed down their understanding to their descendants.
Therefore, they could mimic some of the power shown in the movie. For example, Gu Tingyun’s understanding of wind had reached the realm of laws. If he attached it to a bullet, most of the defenses in the world could be treated as not there before the bullet.
Gu Tingyun walked out the door with a benign smile. “Little girl of the Jiang Family, can I borrow your gun for a while?”
“Master?” w.a.n.g Xie looked at Gu Tingyun in bafflement.
“After watching the Matrix, I have obtained some inspiration,” Gu Tingyun said, “Now, I need a gun to test my theory.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xiaoyue had no choice but hand a pistol to him since he was the Old Academy Master.
While gripping the gun, Gu Tingyun closed his eyes and took some time to prepare.
All the people gazed at him.
They held their breaths, not wanting to miss any details.
Gu Tingyun slowly raised the gun.
In the next moment, a voice floated out from the shop. “You’ll be dealt with as a trouble maker if you break the ground before the shop.”
The old man looked as if he had just swallowed a dead fly. If possible, he would have beaten Mr. Fang to death.
