Chapter 571: Is the World Round or Square?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
There had been heated discussion among the people in this world as to what lay beyond the starry sky and if the world had an end, what would the end look like.
When StarCraft was first released in the shop, the cultivators and warriors had argued about these topics.
Just like what Mr. Fang had said, they were in fact living on the planets. Although Mr. Fang stated it as a fact with his life experience and knowledge that he obtained before he traveled through s.p.a.ce and time, no one in this world believed him.
This argument was paused since Mr. Fang was busy with the release of Dungeon Fighter Online and the organization of the E-Sports compet.i.tion. Now that these tasks were finished, the System’s words reminded him of the previous debate…
Mr. Fang scratched his head and wondered, Right… What does this world look like…?
– The group chat that people created in QQ to talk about if the world was round or square –
At this moment, the group members had completely deviated from the original theme.
An Huwei said, [(Screenshot) Today, I only got two epic equipment after spending a whole day killing Abyss Demons. They are both garbage! What an unlucky day!]
Nalan Hongwu said, [(A screenshot of a dazzling golden lightsabre) Hahahaha! Look at my Light Flame Sword—Blazing Sun Judgement +11!]
Xuanyuan Changqing, an elder of the Xuanyuan Family replied, [(A screenshot of the Champion of the F1 Dungeon Fighter Online compet.i.tion losing her mind when she got an epic equipment but the internet connection was cut off – taken by a communication jade) In the new year, I wish you to have your internet disconnected, fail in every equipment reinforcement, damage in all your equipment, have a lack of colorless small crystals, and hit your daily online time quickly…]
Elder Yu of the Heavenly Academy replied, [![?]()
]
Nalan Hongwu’s face darkened.
Su Tianji said, [Have you guys watched the Legend of the White Snake today?]
Mr. Fang chimed in, […Can you guys talk about the theme topic?]
Su Tianji asked, [What’s the theme topic?]
Exasperated, Mr. Fang replied quickly, [Look at the name of the group! This is an official group for science and technology discussion!]
The members looked at the group name earnestly: [Is Bean Curd Sweet or Salty?]
Mr. Fang was speechless. Pu–! Who changed the d.a.m.n name?!
He immediately changed it back to: Is the World Round or Square?
The student who was on the work-study program, Li Lanruo, asked, [Sir, how come you came up with this question?]
Mr. Fang replied, [![?]()
Are you not a bit curious about the mystery of the world?]
Zong Wu replied, [I haven’t finished killing all the Abyss Demons yet.]
Su Tianji said, [(A screenshot of when the ending theme song of Legend of the White Snake played) Sir, will you release four episodes tomorrow?!]
Green veins bulged on Mr. Fang’s forehead. [You guys are too lazy! Don’t you have any curiosity for knowledge?!]
Su Tianji said, [Sir, after you find the answer, don’t forget to tell us!]
They were indeed a group of lazy people who would do nothing but yell ‘awesome’ and play online.
Gu Tingyun suddenly said, [In my opinion, to find the answer to this question with our current level of spiritual spells and science knowledge, we must spend a long time to explore, or our answer will be superficial. Now that we have the Corsair of the Protoss, we might have a chance to try!]
Mr. Fang said, [Finally, we have a wise person among us!]
While stroking his beard, Gu Tingyun typed the words smugly, [The ancient scroll that we acquired from the Sky Relic says that all the people who ascended to Heaven went in the direction of the Heavenly Abyss Sea.”
[Heavenly Abyss Sea?!]
Rosen Rain suddenly typed, […]
Tang Yu chimed in, [F*ck! You drew out the Champion!]
The three janitors who had been sneaking glances at Mr. Fang’s screen from the behind exchanged a look. … What are these natives up to?!
They had a feeling that these natives wanted to do something big.
At this moment, Jessica suddenly saw the spiritual artifact attached to her belt blink. She immediately walked out the door.
The grand Heaven-Hiding Palace was still hovering in the sky above Heavenly Abyss Sea.
At this moment, the white-robed man was holding a strange crystal which showed the image outside the door of Origins Internet Club.
“My Lords, I finally got in contact with you!” The white-robed man looked pleased, and then he saw the janitor uniforms that they were wearing. “My Lords, why are you wearing native clothes of these natives?”
The three people’s faces twitched at the question. Carl quickly said in a cold voice, “Stop babbling. Is it your place to think for us?”
“Um…” The white-robed man quickly bowed and replied, “I was worried in the past few days since you didn’t send any messages to us.”
“We’re fine!” blond Kevin said, “We encountered a small problem and will soon solve it. Besides, these natives are not as weak as we thought; you must be careful!”
Jessica said, “We are gathering information about these natives. We’ve reached a critical stage, and you can’t disturb us!”
“Yes! My Lords!” The white-robed man bowed even lower.
“Another thing,” Carl instructed, “In a few days, these natives might send a powerful team to the area that you are in. You guys should first hide and not show yourself. We found that there are some very powerful masters among these natives, and you might not be their match!”
“There are such powerful masters among the natives?!” The white-robed man looked surprised as he said, “Even you can’t handle them, My Lords?!”
Their faces twitched.
After exchanging a look with the other two, Carl laughed and said, “How can they be our match?!”
Kevin said immediately, “He just escaped from us!”
At this moment, Gabriel and a few other people of the Ultimate West Realm walked out of the door, humming the song from Legend of the White Snake to themselves.
“I just heard the shop owner call for you to dump the garbage, so I came to give you a heads up since I didn’t see you in there. Go in now; otherwise, he will lose his temper!” With that said, Gabriel and his companions walked toward their hotel. “We are from the same place, and we should look after each other. You don’t need to thank me.”
“Hurry! Turn it off!” Carl and the other two outlanders scrambled to run into the shop without turning off the communication.
d.a.m.n it!
The white-robed man in the Heaven-Hiding Palace saw them run, and then the screen in front of him turned black.
He exchanged a look with the servants around him. “…”
What had just happened?!
…
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang’s technology discussion had come to an end.
Mr. Fang’s global travel plan was the first to be vetoed due to the inaccessibility of some extreme realm. Even if they could pa.s.s these areas, it would cost them lots of energy and time.
Therefore, they came up with another plan – Spiritual s.h.i.+p Ascendance Plan. They could use the great abilities of the Protoss Corsair to follow the ascendance path of the ancient times, just like the s.h.i.+ps flying into s.p.a.ce in the game.
If they could fly into the starry sky, they certainly could see if the whole continent were round or square. They would find out if their living place was indeed a planet as Mr. Fang had claimed.
