Chapter 346: Having to do it in person
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
After Mr. Fang’s livestream, more players turned their eyes to this novel and fun game.
As the number of customers increased in the shop, the effect of Mr. Fang’s livestream was much better than the previous ones.
After watching the Buzzard Chopper’s thrilling battle in the air, many players showed great interest in this wondrous thing and wanted to fly it in person.
Unlike other single-player games, Grand Theft Auto 5 offered the online mode, and the players in the game relied less on levels compared to the Legend of Mir 2 and Diablo. With these key features, Grand Theft Auto 5 soon went popular in the shops, and the sales soon reached 1,000 with the number still growing.
Meanwhile, the sales of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone were also growing steadily. Although Mr. Fang didn’t put it on the livestream, the number of its activations was still rising and soon reached the target of 300. It was clear that this novel movie was popular with the cultivators. As a result, when the sequel ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ came out, its sales also grew steadily.
By now, the customers in Mr. Fang’s shops could do many things besides playing online games, and the experience became more varied.
There were a few new customers brought by cultivators of the Haoran Faction and the Yimu Daoist Palace who entered the shop after buying the items at the auction. Therefore, the new customers from the Nanhua Faction stood out amongst people.
In the early morning when Mr. Fang opened the door, he saw about 30 white-robed disciples of the Nanhua Faction standing outside.
Among them, at least ten were new faces!
“How come you have brought so many new people with you?!” Mr. Fang was not used to seeing this many people so early in the morning, so his drowsiness disappeared by this unusual sight.
The Xichi Spiritual Master asked Mo Xian with a frown, “Didn’t I tell you not to make a big deal of it and just bring some senior and junior brothers and sisters who are close?”
“Ugh…” Mo Xian explained, “Master, we had over a dozen people yesterday. With each of us bringing only one other person…”
Xichi Spiritual Master didn’t realize until now that the number of players of the faction had grown this big without her noticing.
In the Forbidden Place in the back mountain of Nanhua Faction this night.
“What’s happening?!”
After the decrease in the number of disciples yesterday, this mysterious woman had tried hard to lure those elite disciples of the Nanhua Faction to this place. However, the attendance tonight was only half of yesterday’s!
“Strange… how come these disciples got so strong-willed?”
“What happened?” The voice hiding in the darkness was obviously displeased.
“A minor accident,” the white-haired woman said mildly, “I can handle it. Don’t worry!”
However, on the next day, when Mr. Fang opened the shop, he woke up completely at the sight before him. “How come so many of you came again?”
There were about 50 people waiting outside, and they were all disciples of the Nanhua Faction!
It must be noted that the shop was in Half City, and even the players of the local forces, such as the Yuanheng Pavilion and Black Demon didn’t come to the shop this early. However, the disciples of the Nanhua Faction, who lived far outside Half City, had come here even before the shop opened. From the looks of it, they had been waiting outside for a while now.
“I don’t know…” Yue Yan said with sleepy eyes. She had been woken up by her senior brothers and junior sisters before dawn, and they insisted on coming here with her. In fact, the door of her residence was almost broken down. “What can I do?!”
“Sir! We want to get online now!” Before Yue Yan could finish her explanation, the other disciples of the Nanhua Faction hustled into the shop. Different from Yue Yan and Mo Xian who would eat instant noodles leisurely before going online aimlessly, these disciples looked eager and energetic.
“What’s wrong with these people?” Mr. Fang looked baffled.
At midnight in the Forbidden Place at the back mountain of Nanhua Faction, the woman looked at the few disciples of Nanhua Faction before her, and her eyes got so red that it looked like blood would ooze from them.
“Impossible!” Her pale fingers clenched into fists, and her sharp fingernails pierced the skin on his palm; bright red blood began to drip from her fists.
Today, she had put much more efforts in her work, but the result was…
“Didn’t you say that you could handle it?” The voice hiding in the darkness sounded disappointed, s if it was suppressing its anger.
“Impossible…” the woman murmured, “I deepened their inner desire compared to usual, and it is impossible for them to resist me!”
“I will give you one more day!” The gloomy voice sounded angry.
“Got it…” The woman’s voice oozed fatigue, bafflement, and endless anger when she said in determination, “Tomorrow… I’ll go in person and bring them here!”
Rumors were circulating inside the Nanhua Faction.
It said that some elite disciples were brought to a very mysterious place to cultivate by the Ethereal Spiritual Master and the Xichi Spiritual Master, and these disciples’ cultivation strengths had increased drastically even after only one day’s cultivation.
Other disciples were envious of them.
Some even said that there were signs before the two elders took the disciples to cultivate in that mysterious place; for example, there would be a voice asking them if they wanted to grow stronger, etc.
Of course, these rumors were not believable, and even the two elders denied them.
However, some people still believed them, and Li Luoxi was one of them. After all, where there was smoke, there was fire. Tonight, he sensed something unusual.
It’s coming… It was said that many of the senior brothers and sisters had sensed something unusual before they were called to that mysterious place to cultivate. Now, he sensed this strangeness as well, so he wondered if he got lucky today!
He watched his surroundings carefully and asked tentatively, “Do… you crave for strength?”
I still don’t hear the question! Come on! Li Luoxi was so anxious that he began to sweat while yelling in his mind, I crave for strength too… I want to grow stronger! Quickly come here…
Suddenly, darkness engulfed him.
“It’s here! It’s here!” Li Luoxi was ecstatic.
– In the next moment –
“Go to hell!”
As if a heavy blow hit his head, he was unconscious the next moment.
“…”
When he woke up, he saw forbidden stone tablets around him, and his heart lurched, realizing that he hadn’t been brought to somewhere to increase his cultivation strength! Everything seemed too strange!
Soon, he heard a female voice sneering, “I don’t believe that we’ll have fewer people tonight!”
“Do you think so?!” In his dizziness, Li Luoxi heard an extremely gloomy voice.
There had been about 100 disciples last night in the Forbidden Place, but only about 70 of them returned tonight. Together with the new captives today, there were only about 90 people, which was about 10 fewer than yesterday.
