Chapter 467: StarCraft

For most people, the genres of the games in the shop were abundant and complete.

However, some people were still unsatisfied as they felt like it lacked something,

In this world, some people focused on spiritual spells, and some focused on combat techniques. The Matrix inspired the artifact masters in arrays and fantasy spells, and the people who wanted to expand their forces would go and play the Legend of Mir 2.

However, for people who wanted to sharpen their commanding skills in war, the Legend of Mir 2 had its limits.

After all, the players couldn’t die, which made the strategies used in the game quite different from those in real wars.

The real strategies decided the outcome of wars from thousands of kilometers away.

Jiang Xuan lounged on his computer chair. He had played many games and had just finished the Hua Ying Ending in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 (In this ending, Jing Tian would battle with Chong Lou ten years later after the end of the game).

“It would be great if there’s a game that simulates wars so that we could practice strategies and make decisions to command troops.”

The endings in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 had all come out. After fighting hard for days, Nalan Mingxue finally achieved the perfect ending in the second round.

Many players who were fast with the progress had gotten to the end.

The Zi Xuan Ending had the shortest process. In this ending, Chong Lou used his own demonic energy to repair the Demon-Suppressing Tower for Zi Xuan, and the story ended after the battle with the Evil Sword Immortal.

Of course, some people got the ending in which both Xuan Jian and Long Kui died, which doesn’t deserve to be discussed here.

By now, the number of activations of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 had surpassed 4,000.

The Matrix had attracted many viewers from the day it was released. Even though this movie didn’t help viewers improve their strength in clear ways and was limited in this aspect, it still had a high number of activations with its novel plot and imagination. The popularity of this movie even increased the activations of the Resident Evil movie and game.

Of course, some players enjoyed the games and movies without expecting to obtain benefits. In fact, Gu Tingyun and Zong Wu liked the Resident Evil game and movie even though they didn’t obtain any benefits from them. They liked them because these games and movies brought something new to their long lives of cultivation.

Even the grandmasters found this kind of novelty breathtaking.

Yes, it was breathtaking.

In the tedious life of cultivation which was thousands of years long, everything seemed the same. Therefore, they sometimes felt bored.

It was especially the case with people such as Gu Tingyun, who had achieved a realm as high as he could but only had limited years remaining in his life. Cultivation didn’t matter much to them, and the only job for them now was teaching disciples and enjoying the last years in life.

Even some young people such as Wang Xie and Xun Yuan sometimes felt bored. They were born in this huge system and had to abide by every rule of the world, making no mistakes.

In comparison, these new things brought them some ripples in their sedate lives in which they do nothing but gain cultivation strength and fight for treasures. The new things weren’t better; they were just new and novel.

Now, they added some new terms to their lives which was filled with cultivators, warriors, ascendance, and immortals.

“Brother Wang, I’m going to fight Chong Lou today!” Xun Yuan was smug since that he could finally meet the most powerful demonic god in the legends.

He was excited about this prospect.

“You suck,” Tang Yu said in disdain, “I’m half-way through the second round.”

“I suck? You know nothing! I’m invincible!” Xun Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, “Jing Tian’s speed in mastering spiritual spells is many times faster than ours. Now, I’ve mastered all three styles of spiritual spells!”

“I’ll absolutely defeat Chong Lou! I’ll show you!”

“I bet that you can’t do it even if you spend all day on it!” Tang Yuan said in amusement.

“Defeating Chong Lou is more difficult than passing a tribulation.” Wang Xie shook his head in resignation. “I think it makes more sense for us to bet on if he can pass the tribulation and ascend today.”

Xun Yuan’s face turned dark. “…”

Three seconds after he entered the New Immortal Realm, his screen turned grey while Chong Lou stood with two blades in his hands that were covered in blood.

He died.

“I was killed by a tribulation lightning bolt.”

…

No one knew how to ascend to Heaven and what it looked like above the mortal world.

Even Mr. Fang’s sword control technique couldn’t help them fly out of this world. Each day, people looked up at the starry sky. The sun, the moon, and stars moved, but people didn’t know what the stars really were.

They didn’t know if the sky had an end or what the structure of the sky looked like and how it was different from this world. The only thing was for sure; Mr. Fang couldn’t fly out of this world.

No one could fly out of it.

It was natural that the people in this world had no idea what the galaxy really looked like.

Perhaps they still fantasize about a realm of gods with celestial palaces in Heaven.

It was a realm where every cultivator and warrior wished to go to. In this dreamy realm, there was no aging, illnesses, or death.

“Sir, what is this StarCraft?” Many people were playing the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 for the second time since there hadn’t been new games for a long time. Some players even went to play Resident Evil and cleared the stage.

The Matrix had spawned new bizarre ideas in them about the origin of the world. Then, StarCraft might introduce them to an even broader world.

“Boss…” Loli Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Mr. Fang imploringly. “Can we watch you play the game?”

“I want to watch it! I want to watch it!” The big white deer put its front hooves on the counter and looked avid.

Jiang Xiaoyue stroked its furry head. “Hehe. I’ll watch it with Little Bell!”

“Okay. I’ll turn on the livestream.”

“Good!” Tang Yu’s gaze followed Mr. Fang until the latter sat down. “You are going to livestream today?”

He remembered that the last time when he watched the livestream, it was a thrilling battle between an immortal and a demon lord – Jing Tian vs Chong Lou.

The memory was still fresh in his mind.

“Let’s go! The shop owner has turned on the livestream!”

“What is he livestreaming?” Xun Yuan said solemnly, “I’m passing the tribulation!”

“F*ck your tribulation,” Tang Yu said, “Let’s go and watch the livestream.”

…

It was still early in the morning, but people bustled in all three shops as the popularity of Origins Internet Club increased.

They turned to look at the big screen. “The shop owner has turned on the livestream?”

The people of the Nanhua Faction who were walking toward the computers immediately sat on the couches with unprecedented speed.

The people around them looked dazed. Before they could react, half of the seats on the couches had been taken.

Soon, a row of blue alphabet-like icons appeared on the screen.

“Blizzard?” Nalan Hongwu glanced at the big screen. “Is the shop owner going to broadcast Diablo?”

He was baffled. “The kid only got to Nightmare Difficulty, right?”

The screen showed a vast space in the universe, and the dark blue planet in the bottom-left corner occupied one-fourth of the screen.

There were several icons on the screen: [Satellite (Multiple players)], [Battleship and Remains (Single Player)], and [Black Hole (Exit)].

The big letters on the right side showed: StarCraft.
