Chapter 491: Not Seats? Watch Anime First
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The issue with the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace shook the high-level cultivators like a big bomb, but it had no effects on Dajin and Half City.
The artifact masters from these two shops came early today to hear the lecture about teleportation array structure given by a master in Spiritual State.
The teleportation array lecture on QQ attracted many elite artifact masters.
In the lecture, Gu Tingyu explained the traditional teleportation array structure. Then, Jun Yangzi from Wuwei Daoist Alliance shared his research on the materials and structure of the small teleportation array in Diablo 2.
Each type of teleportation arrays had its own advantages.
After the lecture, there were private tutor sessions on QQ so that they could quickly build the teleportation arrays together.
After all, it wasn’t a project that could be completed in one or two days, and the people in these shops got busy since this morning.
…
The convenient life and daily items such as smart phones and cars shown in Grand Theft Auto 5 greatly inspired the cultivators in this world.
It didn’t mean that the cultivators in this world couldn’t make these things, but few people thought about making items in this direction.
After all, their main concern was increasing their cultivation strength to defend themselves against their enemies. If they were killed one day, what could these non-combative items do for them?
As for the cultivators with high cultivation strength, they could do whatever they wanted with spiritual spells without using these items.
However, the situation had changed. After the Wuwei Daoist Alliance defeated the Yundian Upper Realm and the alliance of major forces with ease, the whole country was finally at peace.
Grand Theft Auto 5 was like the front-end, and The Matrix was like a ‘heavenly book’ in programming and helped the cultivators understand modern technologies better. Gradually, the cultivators began to use their new communication jades in their daily life.
The new type of communication jades was still a novelty for most cultivators, but the people such as the Royal Princess, Nalan Mingxue, and Su Tianji who were in no shortage of crystals had begun using the new communication jades.
The structure of the new communication jades was mostly made with traditional artifact making techniques. They were new and special spiritual artifacts with functions such as showing pictures, replaying videos, and transmitting sounds from a distance.
Of course, the players would be proud to be in possession of such an artifact.
Dong Qingli, the owner of the Wind and Moon Pavilion, bought one recently.
“Miss, the seats are all taken…” Zhang Wanyu came back from the counter, wondering why so many customers came to the shop so early in the morning.
Usually, they would find a few seats empty at this time of the day even though people had to wait in line at peak times.
“It’s said that the artifact masters are having a lecture…” Unperturbed, Dong Qingli said mildly, “They are trying to repair the teleportation array leading to the Spiritual State, which is an important task. We can wait here…”
After the last upgrading of the shop a while ago, the customers didn’t have to stand behind the computer to wait for their turn. Instead, they could get on the waiting list using their members.h.i.+p cards, and they would be a.s.signed seats in order.
However, this system had just been put into use not long ago.
Many people were sitting on the couches of the lounge area with milk tea or instant noodles, waiting for their turn.
“We’re just a little bit late today…” Zhang Wanyu was sullen. “Miss, should we return to the Wind and Moon Pavilion first?”
At this moment, Dong Qingli dug out an exquisite communication-jade-looking jade tablet.
“It’s okay,” Dong Qingli said, “We’ll watch this while we wait.”
“Chatting on QQ?” Zhang Wanyu was a little surprised.
“No. Let’s watch an anime.” Dong Qingli turned on the virtual media and injected her spiritual essence into it after she clicked around. Then, the virtual screen before them grew bigger until it was as big as a 20-inch computer screen.
“Animation?” Zhang Wanyu thought for a moment and remembered that it referred to the stories they watched on the computers in Qzone.
Who would watch such stories with their precious computer time? Besides, they must pay gold coins that they earned in Qzone to buy these stories. It was a waste of time and money!
If the players were not required to buy the anime to unlock certain items they wanted, Zhang Wanyu thought no one would have wanted to buy them at all.
“Yes!” Dong Qingli said in excitement, “I bought several of them in Qzone, and we can watch them on the communication jade!”
“Ugh…?” Zhang Wanyu asked in surprise, “We can watch on the communication jade?!”
She saw many options on the communication jade. With the traditional communication jade, cultivators received and picked up messages with spiritual senses, which meant that no one else could see them.
However, although the new communication jade was also operated through spiritual senses and spiritual essence, others could also see the virtual images and videos shown on it. Right now, she saw the list of anime on the jade tablet such as Pokémon, Tom and Jerry, and Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World.
Dong Qingli chose Pokémon. Then, the two girls sat together and watched it while eating instant noodles.
This Pokemon anime told the story about amazing creatures on the planet. In the story, Ash, who dreamed to become a Pokemon Master, and Pikachu, embarked on an adventure.
With the characters in the anime, the two girls also embarked on an amazing adventure.
Obviously, the System remade the anime, so each frame was as exquisite as a wall paper.
Eating instant noodles, Zhang Wanyu felt young again while watching the yellow electric mouse which could only yell ‘Pikachu’. “Wow! This Pikachu is adorable!”
“I bought it already!” Dong Qingli had bought a stuffed Pikachu with the first bit of money that she earned by growing vegetables in Qzone.
“Hahahaha! Look at them! They got stunned by the electricity shock!”
“This pokémon is super fun…”
“Cute and fun…”
The two quickly attracted the attention of the people around them.
As the son of the Castellan of Jiuhua, An Cheng lived an idle life, and now he was bored.
As for An Huwei, he had some free time this morning, so he came to the shop. However, all the seats had been taken. Sitting on a couch, he looked sullen while drinking a cup of milk tea.
“Ms. Nalan, we’re late today.” Lan Yan made a circle in the shop. “All the seats are taken.”
Then, they sat down in the lounge area.
“Ugh? What are you guys watching?”
“Pokemon,” Zhang Wanyu answered, “You have to buy this to unlock the special spiritual demon beasts nurturing method.”
“Oh, I see…” With a bowl of instant noodles in her hands, Nalan Mingxue sat beside them and watched it too.
Then, the bored young masters in Jiuhua, including An Cheng, leaned over. “What are you watching?”
“What? What are you watching?” Even An Huwei, who had been flipping through his files, looked toward them.
At this moment, the screen was filled with yellow flashes while Pikachu knocked down everyone present with an electric shock.
“What is this demon beast?” Putting down the cup of milk tea, An Huwei watched the anime curiously.
