Chapter 674: Heated Discussions About the New Game
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“This… the mystical realm of Assassin’s Creed is about assassins…” Elina who wore the hooded assassin’s outfit asked curiously, “Does it mean that the World of Warcraft is about…”
She glanced at the direction of Dusk Forest with a frightened look. “Magical beasts?!”
[TL Note: World of Warcraft was translated into World of Magical Beasts in Chinese]
“Is it a mystical realm for magical beasts to experience life?!” Elina exclaimed.
“Not likely…” The elves were also puzzled. However, they knew that this shop, which had released an assassin-focused mystical realm and then the East Continent style mystical realm, was unique and thus couldn’t completely rule out this possibility.
“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Mr. Fang’s face twitched.
“You’ll know when the cinematic trailer is released!”
…
Obviously, the players in the old shops had also gotten the news.
By now, Lingyun Academy of Jiuhua City had established new standards for the disciples in the four houses. But still, Xu Zixin and Shen Qingqing, two of the first group of players in the shop, were about to graduate from the academy.
Meanwhile, people like Nalan Mingxue, Song Qingfeng, and even fatty Wang Tai had entered the Earth House and became senior students in the academy.
Due to the booming sales of the official novel of Diablo 2, Shen Qingqing now had a part-time job as a writer and was quite famous.
“Time flies, right? Qingqing,” Xu Zixin said with a new communication jade in her hand. “We’ll soon graduate.”
“Um…?” Shen Qingqing froze when she casually glanced at her communication jade.
“What’s it, Qingqing?”
“The shop owner replied to my message about the new game!” Shen Qingqing said in pleasant surprise, “In addition…”
“In addition??”
“The shop owner plans to release new official novels and… um… comics?”
Some games in the shop such as the Legend of Sword and Fairy series focused on the main plot of the story. However, other games had good stories which were overshadowed by other great features, and these games included Diablo 2 and Dungeon Fighter Online.
[Big news! Big news!] In the big group chats such as the Legend of Sword and Fairy and Mr. Fang’s Group Tour, Shen Qingqing posted the news, [The shop owner revealed that the next game is called World of Warcraft, a massively online game just like the Legend of Mir 2 and Dungeon Fighter Online! It’s not a single-player game!]
“According to the newest information, Dungeon Fighter Online might get an updated version!”
“A massively online game named World of Warcraft?!”
“An updated version of Dungeon Fighter Online?”
Jiang Xiaoyue yelled, “How did you all know it?! How come I know nothing about it?!”
She was angry!
“Don’t fight! What’s this World of Warcraft about?!” The person making the comment was Xi Qi, a veteran player and one of Song Qingfeng’s classmate. “Does it mean that the world is full of demons and wild beasts?”
…
In the Post Bar, many posts appeared on the forum, and some of them were titled, [Hot Headline: The Imminent New Game Is a Massively Online Game!] and [I’m Buddies with Mr. Fang Series: The Detailed Analysis of World of Warcraft with Potential Trailer Leaking out Before the Official Release]
“…” Mr. Fang looked puzzled. I only revealed the name, and you guys came up with a detailed analysis? With a trailer?!
Mr. Fang even clicked the link. When the video played, he saw a yellow mouse yelling, “Pikapika!”
“…” Mr. Fang’s face darkened and thought, Damn! What a clickbait!
Then, he deleted the post and banned the user who posted it.
…
Meanwhile, a big event seemed to have happened in the neighboring Stan Nation. The imprisoned assassins were rescued by a group of people who claimed to be from the Brotherhood.
Similar things were happening in other areas frequently as well.
“Damn it! These damn people!” Meanwhile, Head Priest Cesare of the Judgement Godly Palace in the Stan Nation was enraged and had shattered everything that he could see.
…
“Hahahaha! Another group of morons clicked my link!” In the Half City Shop, a black cloud reached out two arms condensed from black mist and clapped while laughing. “Is Pokémon interesting? I…”
Before he could finish, Ning Bi who was sitting at the computer across from him yelled, “Smirk Face Emoji, you’re banned!”
“Pu-! Who?! Who did it?!”
…
“According to the shop owner, an online game means that the players from different shops can enter the same big mystical realm…?” The players in the new shop were talking among themselves while sitting on couches. “It’s said that before the World of Warcraft is released, the shop will connect us with the players from other shops through the internet…?”
“Ugh? Is this shop very famous in the East Continent?” Sala asked curiously.
“I suppose it is,” Elder Sewell said while thinking, “Resident Evil, Assassin’s Creed, and the Legend of Sword and Fairy are all huge projects. I think this shop must be a very big agent for games… It’s no wonder that it doesn’t take names of any workshops.”
“It’s said that the creator of World of Warcraft is… um… the Blizzard Workshop? Is it better than the previous ones?”
The players who hadn’t finished the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 were still battling in the game. As the earliest group of players, the elves and knights had finished the game and thus had more free time on hand.
Whenever they had time, these people would gather at the lounge area with a mug of Cappuccino and talk about the new game.
“It’s said that the shop will release the trailer of the new game tomorrow,” Sala said in boredom, “Why isn’t it released today?! I can’t wait to watch it!”
“It won’t be released on the big screen until tomorrow at noon,” Elder Sewell added in frustration, “Can’t it be released in the morning?”
“Ohoho!” Dwarf Elder Sauk sat on a couch with a few other stocky dwarves. “Eastern alchemy is miraculous. Oh, I should call it artifact-making skills. I look forward to trying this new mystical realm! I think I should recommend it to my people in the Black Iron Castle.”
Although the dwarves couldn’t change their profession and become artifact masters, they could get inspired and learn a few things from this new field of knowledge.
“I’ve sent a message back home, Elder Sauk.” Elder Sewell sipped her Cappuccino and said mildly, “Please don’t tell too many people about it. Otherwise, we’ll have no seats for ourselves!”
“Sorry, guys!” Old Mage Adolf walked up from behind them and said, “I think our magic communication system has spread the news all over the world! At least… many mages have gotten the news.”
“You can see the effects.” He said as he pointed at the big group of new customers who came to the shop after watching Mr. Fang’s livestream of artifact making.
“I think… tomorrow, the customers in this shop will double. Get prepared, old friends!”
