Chapter 79: Watching the New Game

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Fang Qi had been training fervently and didn’t sleep much every night. Therefore, he was pissed off that they disrupted him while he was having his precious rest.

The group should have anticipated that when they forced him to open the shop so early this morning. The truth was, Jiang Xiaoyue didn’t get a good night sleep either, so Fang Qi told her to go to bed earlier that evening.

Fang Qi took a short nap to re-energize himself.

Then, he sat cross-legged on his bed, clearing his mind and practicing the skill of controlling things using his qi.

Suddenly, the system gave him a new task:

[Skills Expert: Become proficient with 10 skills in game (2/10) and master the sword control technique.

Task reward: flying on swords (proficient).

Task description: you should thank your powerful system.]

“Huh?” Fang Qi became excited as he read his new task right until he got to the task description. He almost laughed out loud. “System, can you be less showy?”

His system didn’t respond.

Fang Qi continued, “Are you too embarrassed to say anything?”

The system still didn’t respond.

However, he had to admit that the System’s new task would save him a lot of time. The main character learned things so fast that even Nalan Mingxue couldn’t catch up, let alone him.

Who else could remember the basic sword control techniques after watching it just once except Li Xiaoyao?

The good thing was that killing monsters in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy would increased skills and experience points. Just like Diablo, the players could add points to skills to level them up fast.

Therefore, Fang Qi could become proficient or even master skills as long as he had enough skill points and was of a high enough level!

In summary, becoming proficient in ten skills in the game was much easier compared to the real world. Otherwise, Fang Qi wouldn’t have already become proficient in two skills.

Once he obtained his new task, Fang Qi woke up early the next morning. He realized that he had to rely on his games to become powerful.

At 7 AM, he woke up Jiang Xiaoyue and asked her to clean the shop with him.

Today, no one dared to come early and wake him up. When the internet café opened at 8 AM, customers walked in one by one. Soon, An Cheng, Ouyang Cheng, and Bu Che walked in with dark circles under their eyes.

“Hey, why do you have smoky-eye makeup today?” Fang Qi asked.

Their faces twitched.

Yesterday, not only did they not hit their six-hour time limit, but they were also punished by Nalan Hongwu and the others.

However, instead of complaining, they immediately headed to the computers.

Soon, Fang Qi saw Song Qingfeng and the others also walk in with dark circles under their eyes.

“Sir, what do you think is going on with them?” Jiang Xiaoyue became confused as well.

“Uh... we didn’t get much sleep last night!” Song Qingfeng felt awkward since Jiang Xiaoyue stared at him.

Fang Qi was too lazy to chat with them; he decided to continue his task.

The only two skills he was proficient at were his use of daggers and guns in Resident Evil; he spent so much time on them that he probably mastered them rather than just being proficient at them.

Fang Qi didn’t know how proficient was considered in Diablo, but he assumed that level 10 or above would be fine. He wasn’t level 10 in any of them yet, but he believed that once Act III was activated, he would quickly become proficient in them.

Therefore, all that was left was becoming proficient in the skills listed in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy.

This game was no longer a turn-based strategy game, since the world of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy was life-like, allowing more talented players to have more power!

Since Fang Qi only began playing the game, he didn’t know many techniques. However, he only needed to know the most basic sword control technique to fight enemies.

...

After playing for the day, the plot of the game advanced to the part where Li Xiaoyao had to battle on stage to fight for a fiancée.

“The main character found himself another beautiful fiancée?”

“Ling is a snake demoness?”

While the guys felt jealous and envious toward Li Xiaoyao, they also felt heartbroken for Ling. “How could she be a snake demoness?”

“Even if she is, she’s a nice demoness, right?” A crowd gathered behind Fang Qi to find out the rest of the plot!

Although the game focused mainly on cultivators, there were many things that didn’t exist in this world. For example, the sword control technique, the Liquor Sword Immortal, and all sorts of new things slowly made the players understand how interesting the game was.

The fact that the Legend of the Sword and Fairy was similar to their current world didn’t bore the players. Instead, they found it easier to be immersed within the game!

It was very different from the Celestial Warrior, and it left them in awe.

As a loyal fan of the plots in the games, Shen Qingqing loved this game since she felt like it was telling her a beautiful story that was filled with laughter, disappointment, sweetness, and even sorrow.

To her, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy was a colorful painting that connected all the characters and made the players wonder if the characters actually lived somewhere in their world that they were unaware of!

Soon, they all had the feeling that the story was happening somewhere in this world. They genuinely believed that a young man named Li Xiaoyao was currently traveling to Nanzhao with Ling.

As a man who had seen all walks of life, Nalan Hongwu felt like he had returned to his days as a passionate young man who was set to travel the world. The young man in the story, Li Xiaoyao, was at the prime of his life, stirring up the memories in Nalan Hongwu’s head!

If Nalan Hongwu’s interest in this game piqued because of the sword control techniques, then it was safe to say that he finally understood how immersive this game was.

As the story progressed, the players slowly understood the difference between this game and the others. They weren’t the main characters in this game; it was about a young man named Li Xiaoyao who existed somewhere in this world. Everything they saw and felt was through his lens and not theirs.

However, this didn’t stop them from enjoying the game; there were so many aspects of Li Xiaoyao’s life that enticed and excited them.

They followed Li Xiaoyao as they experienced everything he did!

Their mood swung with the main character’s experiences. They worried about him when he was in trouble and cared about Ling when she was willing to sacrifice herself to save Li Xiaoyao. They had to admit that watching and playing this game was extremely pleasant!

Gradually, not only those who enjoyed watching Fang Qi play stood behind him; even the fans of Resident Evil who rarely interacted with Fang Qi all gathered around him.

...

Chen Yang, a Heaven House disciple of the Lingyun Academy, came to play Resident Evil under his friends’ recommendation.

There were a lot of people in the internet café, and the 50-or-so computers were almost full at all times, meaning that there were as many as 150 players every day.

Fang Qi didn’t have the time to teach them one by one, so a new player like Cheng Yang learned how to play from his friends and barely interacted with the owner.

However, as soon as Chen Yang finished playing today, he saw a group of people huddled behind Fang Qi. Rather than screaming and shouting like they used to, the group was abnormally quiet today.

“What are you all watching?” Chen Yang asked, and someone replied casually, “The Legend of the Sword and Fairy.”

“The game that costs 20 crystals?” To Chen Yang, Resident Evil was fun enough, so he didn’t see the point in using 20 crystals to activate a new game.

However, today was different; he had just passed Resident Evil. Therefore, he stopped and decided to see if the game that cost 20 crystals was really worth the hype.

“Yang, you’re not leaving?” The other disciples from Heaven House asked. They were new players as well and didn’t know Fang Qi well either.

“No, I’m going to watch this man play the new game for a while.” Chen Yang shook his head and replied.

“The new game?”

“Should we watch as well?” Chen Yang’s friends nodded. Since they passed Resident Evil, they would consider trying the new game if it was worth the money.

Jiang Xiaoyue sat behind the counter in boredom. Usually when she had nothing to do, she would run up to Fang Qi and watch him play. But today...

She stared at all the people behind Fang Qi in sadness as if she had been wronged.

I wish I could become taller... She jumped up and down but barely even saw his screen!

Girls always took care of their appearances, so Lan Yan and Nalan Mingxue didn’t come until they took a nap. Although they still had dark circles under their eyes, they weren’t so obvious.

When they walked in, Nalan Mingxue’s face still showed hints of embarrassment. As the most talented genius of the young generation at the Nalan Family, she had never been scolded... until last night. historical

There was her first time experiencing all that.

“Xiaoyue, are you watching Fang Qi play?” Lan Yan laughed and asked when she saw Jiang Xiaoyue jumping up and down and trying to see the screen. “Come on, get me two Haagen-Dazs ice-creams, and I’ll carry you in my arms.”

“No, it’s too embarrassing!” Jiang Xiaoyue refused and turned her head away.

“Are you sure?” Lan Yan moved up and continued enticing her, “This game is more exciting than Diablo! You will see the sword control technique, and there is a Liquor Sword Immortal! You’ll also see the owner fight all sorts of monsters as long as you let me carry you!”

“No! I want to see the owner get beaten up by monsters!” Jiang Xiaoyue pouted.

Lan Yan immediately burst out in laughter and said, “That will happen too!”

“Uh...” Jiang Xiaoyue pondered as she contemplated, “It does sound really interesting...”

“Okay then.” Jiang Xiaoyue took the crystals and handed Lan Yan and Nalan Mingxue each a container of Haagen-Dazs.

Then, Lan Yan carried Jiang Xiaoyue in her arms until the latter’s eyes saw the screen.

Lan Yan was a warrior after all, so carrying a little girl like Jiang Xiaoyue was as easy as carrying a doll.

“Do you want to try?” Lan Yan could even use the other hand to eat ice-cream.

“Please do not share snacks,” Fang Qi suddenly said, “Or else, you will never be welcomed back.”

Jiang Xiaoyue immediately showed her canine teeth at Fang Qi, but the latter had already turned back to face the screen.

Furious, Jiang Xiaoyue waved her fists in the air and said, “He’s so annoying!”

The truth was, the game gave the players a lot of freedom to explore, so Fang Qi really wanted to create the perfect ending. For example, he wanted to stop Ling from being taken up to Shu Mountain by the Sword Sage and avoid the subsequent disasters from happening.

After Elder Shi took Ling away, Fang Qi began planning things out and leveling up himself.

However, it was obvious that his time was limited. The events that would take place wouldn’t be slowed, so he could only change small details with the time he had.

Fang Qi couldn’t stop Ling from being taken up the Shu Mountain by the Sword Sage. From the viewpoints of the Shu Mountain Faction, all monsters and demons were evil. Even if Fang Qi mentioned that Ling was Nuwa’s descendant and leaked this critical information, Ling would still be locked up until further investigation.

As for taking Ling back from the Sword Sage ...

The crowd stared at the powerful and profound sword energies on the screen, as well as sword techniques that they couldn’t comprehend. For the first time, they felt hopeless!

“Let me try!” Nalan Hongwu rolled up his sleeves and shouted, “How can he be so unreasonable? Let me fight him for three days if I have to! Let’s see who’s more powerful, his sword techniques or my warrior skills!”

Nalan Hongwu was so angry that he wanted to jump into the screen and battle the Sword Sage!

“Reasonable?” Those who knew Nalan Hongwu’s identity were at a loss for words.

Who would’ve thought that one day, Nalan Hongwu would be the reasonable one?they thought.

Even though others didn’t voice their opinions about the Sword Sage, they also wanted to jump into the screen to help. The only thing was that they knew they weren’t as strong as Nalan Hongwu and couldn’t defeat the skilled Sword Sage even if they could enter the game.

In the end, Fang Qi realized that even though he could change the minor details, changing the entire plot of the story seemed impossible.

Upon hearing the reactions behind him, Fang Qi couldn’t help but shake his head. Later in the game, there would be a touching story about Liu Jinyuan and the butterfly demoness!

Once he finished that story, those watching him were all in their tears!

The story was very intricately-written. Liu Jinyuan met a butterfly that was stuck inside a spider’s web, and he rescued it and set it free. It turned out that the butterfly was a butterfly demoness, and she wanted to repay him. The plot felt like a dream, but everything was so closely linked together that the audience felt like it really happened in the world!

They even wished that this story was real!

The people in this world hadn’t read anything bizarre and interesting, so they felt like this story was amazing!

Humans can fall in love with demons? Monsters are better at expressing gratitude? How could something so amazing exist?

Fang Qi was left in awe as well. The plot of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy was like a giant hole; those who get into it wouldn’t be able to climb out!

“Why is this demoness so nice?” Shen Qingqing was only watching to kill time, but she cried buckets when she saw how Caiyi, the butterfly demoness, was willing to give up thousands of years of cultivation strength just to give Liu Jinyuan, the human, ten more years of life.

Jiang Xiaoyue hugged onto Lan Yan as she wailed, “Why is Caiyi so stupid...”

Even Nalan Mingxue’s eyes were red, and she mumbled to herself, “How can someone who has cultivated for more than 1,000 years still be so stupid? I would never do anything like that...”

Not only the girls, even curious new players like Chen Yang and the others choked back tears. “This isn’t real, right? Tell me this isn’t real!”

“I’m a tough man; how can I cry while watching a story that’s happening inside a game?!” Chen Yang rubbed his eyes in bewilderment. Then, he suggested loudly, “Let’s play this game tomorrow! We watched the owner play for so long, so we basically know their future! Let’s try to stop such tragedies from happening!”

“Yes! I think we can stop these tragedies!” Those who haven’t played the Legend of the Sword and Fairy declared with determination as they wiped off their tears and waved their fists in the air. “Let’s play tomorrow and stop the tragedies!”

Fang Qi sighed, Too young, too naïve.

Nalan Hongwu took a deep breath and forced his tears back into his eyes. I’m glad that I’m used to life and death, or else I would’ve been embarrassed in front of these young people! The stories in the game are more touching than real life!

Those who said that they were sick of stories of this sort were now incredibly embarrassed!

After finishing this part of the story, Fang Qi exhaled and glanced at the people around him who were either holding back their tears or sniffling quietly. He signed sadly and thought, What’s going to happen if I can’t stop Ling from dying...

[Congratulations on the new gift.]

Suddenly, Fang Qi heard the System’s notification and quickly opened the system interface.

[While playing the game, the host attracted the attention of a great number of audience and therefore possesses the popularity of a qualified owner. Thus, the System is rewarding the host with special equipment: Livestream screens (X2).
