Chapter 320: The Second Movie Emerges
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“This is the Ultimate Desperation Move ‘Totsuka-no-Tsurugi’, the advanced version of ‘Mu Shiki’.” Having finally cleared the stage, Fang Qi was in a good mood. Therefore, he lit a cigarette and watched the ending animation with a relaxed expression, giving the audience an explanation.
[TL Note: We couldn’t find any reference to the term in the game, so we used the best estimate and translated it as Totsuka-no-Tsurugi.]
“Ugh…” The cultivators who had been eating noodles looked baffled.
The King of Fighters’ plot was not continuous, and the animations didn’t come until the players met the Orochi Team. However, people could still guess the general plot of the King of Fighters.
But they all began to wonder, If warriors can be so powerful, why am I still training to become a cultivator?!
Fortunately, they had read a volume of the Heavenly Book in Jade Dynasty. Otherwise, they would have wanted to become warriors after watching this game.
Anyway, they were amazed by Orochi’s powerful abilities, which made it look like both a warrior and a cultivator. The highly effective close-range combat techniques and the powerful AoE spells such as Desperation Move – Marukare (Orochi Divine Light) stunned them.
“Sir, can we learn Orochi’s spiritual spells?” Wide-eyed, Huangpu Tao asked unclearly with a mouthful of instant noodles that he hadn’t swallowed.
Even the ordinary spiritual pillar, reflective shield, and shockwave had horrifying power, let alone the desperation moves.
By now, the animation for clearing the stage had finished playing.
[A magnificent victory! Congratulations to you for sealing Orochi again, and you have won a golden trophy. Do you want to share it in the Friend Circle on QQ?]
Mr. Fang shared it casually.
Soon, all of Mr. Fang’s friends received a message from Friend Circle, and an exquisite golden trophy appeared behind his avatar; it looked dashing and cool.
“F*ck! Awesome!”
“How did the shop owner get that?”
Su Tianji, who had been playing Plants vs Zombies, almost fainted. I’ve been playing Plants vs Zombies every day and haven’t cleared the stage yet. How come this kid is so fast?! He even won a trophy?!
At this moment, in the store at Qzone, all the moves, including the desperation moves used by Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, and Chizuru Kagura in the King of Fighters ’97 had been unlocked; they could now be bought.
Of course, Fang Qi still couldn’t afford the training and practice methods for the desperation moves.
Even if he could afford them, it would take a long time for him to reach the level of the three main characters.
But still, people were envious of Fang Qi for having access to these moves.
These cultivators all craved Orochi’s spiritual spells, but they were baffled at the same time. “Sir, can warriors be as strong as these people?!”
“You should ask the warriors of Dajin,” Fang Qi said in earnest, “They are learning Sword 23 now.”
Then, he explained to them what Sword 23 was.
These cultivators began to realize that warriors could be very powerful; the only problem was that they hadn’t met any warrior who was that powerful yet!
…
Meanwhile, the spiritual artifact masters in the Wuwei Daoist Alliance of Dajin were still studying runewords and spiritual spells.
Obviously, they were successful in copying these things, but it was difficult to truly understand the theories of another knowledge system from the base.
Soon, they encountered a bottleneck since they could observe the items and their power but couldn’t understand why that was the case. However, they were reluctant to give it up because this novel and special stuff could complement the current spiritual-artifact-making process. If they could add the new theories into their current knowledge system, the system in the end would become better and more complete.
“How was it?” Jun Yangzi felt frustrated.
“Not good.” Li Haoran also looked sulky. “In Diablo, a lot of basic knowledge is lost. We can copy the methods, but it will be difficult to create new stuff…”
Meanwhile, many neighboring forces saw the silent withdrawal of the Yundian Upper Realm after it got defeated, and they began to swarm into Jiuhua City of Dajin to find the reason.
However, the situation changed almost overnight.
“I heard a plague named Internet Addiction appeared in Jiuhua City. Is it true?” On Jade Hill Mountain in the ocean, a green-robed old man asked with a cup of tea in his hand. He was gazing at a man wearing a white robe with golden patterns, the latter being Feng Xi.
“Elder Xu, do your disciples often sneak out of the faction and skip the morning lesson? Are there a lot of disciples missing from the elders’ classes?” Feng Xi asked in all seriousness.
The green-robed elder with the surname of Xu looked grim. “Yes, we have a few of such disciples!”
“That’s it!” Feng Xi said while nodding, “Their laziness, obsession with useless things, and even disrespect to seniors and elders are all symptoms of the Internet Addiction poison! If you’re not careful, this disease will spread all over the faction. You must treat it with care!”
Elder Xu’s face twitched. If all the disciples in the faction were like this, none of them could be entrusted with great responsibilities!
He asked immediately, “Is there any cure for them?”
“Don’t worry.” Feng Qi said with a trace of sympathy on his face. “Our Three Saint Gates have predicted this disaster in the cultivation world and found a solution to the problem. I’m here to deliver it.”
“Then… Thank you! Messenger Feng” Elder Xu was elated. “The Three Saint Gates are living in seclusion, but you are still concerned about the safety of the cultivation world! It’s a blessing for all of us! Messenger Feng, tell me your plan, and we’ll do our best to work with you!”
“Good.” Feng Xi nodded and said, “Since our Three Saint Gate don’t have enough manpower, you can send the disciples who have been poisoned to our factions, and we’ll cure them together.”
“It is the great fortune of these unruly disciples!” Elder Xu was even more pleased. “However, this is the issue of our faction; we don’t want to cause you trouble.”
“This issue concerns the safety of the whole cultivation world,” Feng Xi said, “Your faction isn’t the only one that is involved.”
“Okay!” Elder Xu finally agreed. “I’ll have these disciples sent to your factions immediately to remove this poison… Thank you for your effort!”
In the Taixi Faction, Duyou Holiness was sitting on the bank of the lake in a white robe.
A black-robed old man chuckled while stroking his beard, “With this plan, we can easily combine major forces to work against them without getting ourselves involved. Your plan is excellent, Duyou Holiness.”
“Hahahaha…” The white-robed old man said with a laugh, “The people who are involved with worldly affairs tend to lose their heads whenever they gain some power. They don’t know that we can overturn them with one hand.”
…
“&￥*%#…” In Qzone, Song Qingfeng mimicked Kyo’s Kusanagi and copied the movement of ‘Mu Shiki’, thinking that he was dashing while doing it.
By now, many players had begun playing the King of Fighters after watching Mr. Fang. Even Nalan Mingxue visited Mr. Fang’s Qzone and played Joe Higashi, using Hurricane Upper to send out small tornadoes, but her character was beaten senseless by Mr. Fang.
Then, he received a prompt from the System:
[The number of players who is playing games in Qzone has reached 200; Task “A fresh wind in the online games era” is completed.
Task Reward: Movie – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone; one day access to the Game Cultivation Room.]
