“Hu... You mean you are using this kind of force now?!” Shui Xianyun had been on the ‘Instant Noodles Treatment’. After picking up noodles with her chopsticks, she didn’t eat but talked about Orochi Divine Light with amazement on her face; she didn’t wake up from the amazement until a while had passed.
“Yeah,” the Xichi Spiritual Master said with a nod.
“You mean... we can learn it too?”
“Of course. This shop has all kinds of ultimate techniques. The technique that the shop owner used is one of them.” The Xichi Spiritual Master drank up the soup of the instant noodles. “I must go now; Yun’er is calling me to play the King of Fighters.”
“...”
“It doesn’t feel right...” Having eaten instant noodles for several days now, Shui Xianyun said in bafflement, “How come both the spiritual essence and the demonic essence in my body are being purified right now? It just removed the impurities from the demonic essence but doesn’t get rid of it.”
“What should I do?!”
“Cackle...” At this moment, a black cloud floated by with gloomy laughter. “This shop can’t solve your problem, but I can. Now that you’ve gotten a part of demon physique, only I can help you!”
“Go away!” Shui Xianyun had the urge to throw the bowl of instant noodles onto its head.
Although she didn’t do that, she did punch it with her fists.
“Stupid Demon, do you think you can block the shop owner’s Divine Light?! Even at your prime, what percentage of Youquan Demon’s strength do you have?!”
“Auch... You dare to go against me! I’ll gather my spiritual essence and punish you for good!”
It took a deep breath and sucked in spiritual essence in anger.
On the other side, Mr. Fang glanced at the energy bar under the teleportation array. “Ugh? It increased again?”
...
– Meanwhile, in Mr. Fang’s Qzone –
A section in Mr. Fang’s living room was turned into a compartment to accommodate about 10 arcade machines. “It is okay if you can’t afford to buy the game. Come to my place, and you can buy one token with 15 gold coins. Insert the token, and you can start playing the game!”
Mo Xian walked in with Shui Xianyun and found many players in the compartment. A white-haired old man (Nalan Hongwu) was sitting on a bench with a purple-clothed young man (Song Qingfeng ), moving the joysticks wildly.
Clap! Clap! Clap! With sweat popping out on his forehead, Nalan Hongwu slammed his big hand on the gamepad.
Song Qingfeng controlled Iori Yagami and shouted, “Kuzu Kaze, Strong Punch, and Shiki Aoi Hana! Aya!”
“Light jump! Low kick!”
“Are you stunned?” Smugly, Song Qingfeng used Iori Yagami’s desperation move.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Nalan Hongwu shook the joystick wildly as if he could get out of the difficult situation by shaking the joystick and smashing the buttons.
Right now, Shui Xianyun was watching them play from behind, and Mo Xian whispered while her face twitched, “Let’s go and watch others play; this senior is a newbie.”
Nalan Hongwu’s face turned dark, and he was at a loss for words.
Soon, they walked over and stood behind Liu Ningyun and Xichi Spiritual Master’s seats.
They heard Liu Ningyun introduce the game, “You must come here to play the King of Fighters and learn the most proper combos. Master, I’ll show you how to play it.”
Then, she stared at the screen with a serious expression. “Look at my fat opponent; his name is Chang Koehan. Watch how I use a combo on him!”
“Okay!” Xichi Spiritual Master watched earnestly.
“This fat guy’s moves are very lethal, so we must dodge first and find a chance to fight back.” While Liu Ningyun explained, Chang Koehan on the screen smashed a chain hammer at her character.
“See? I’ve found his attack rhythm,” Liu Ningyun said while controlling Kyo Kusanagi, “Then, I will dodge and...”
Before she could finish her words, the big fat guy on the screen caught Kyo Kusanagi who tried to dodge and smashed him onto the ground right away with vicious force!
“I was careless... It was an accident... Let me start again!”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“Ms. Liu, you are great at playing Chang Koehan.” Lin Shao and the others came over and glanced at the screen while saying blithely, “You took out Kyo Kusanagi without losing any HP?”
Liu Ningyun instantly blushed. “...”
Xichi Spiritual Master: “...”
Shui Xianyun: “...”
“Maybe... I’ll go and find the shop owner,” the Xichi Spiritual Master said hesitantly, “I heard that his skills in the King of Fighters are awesome.”
Liu Ningyun gritted her teeth and couldn’t say much.
...
– Meanwhile, at the tea table in the lounge of the Half City Shop –
“I heard that Dajin had won another war?” A mystical-looking young man with white hair and white clothes was eating spicy sticks while sitting on the couch.
“Yeah... They won the war by a landslide.” Black Demon nodded repeatedly. Despite the fact that he had gained a tremendous growth in his cultivation strength, he didn’t dare to show any disrespect to this young man.
The young man looked about 18 years old, but he had been at the top position among the forces in the inner city while the Reincarnation King’s Reincarnation Palace was still a small force in the outer city.
Black Demon explained, “They even used... em... some sort of communication warfare, and one of the methods they used came from our Half City. They used it on their new communication jade which could release special waves and tricked the combined army of dozens of forces. Who could have imagined this method of warfare if we didn’t hear it from them?!”
“By the way, they even allow us to purchase the findings of some of their research projects!”
“Purchase what?” The mystical-looking young man waved his hand and said, “If they can do it, we can do our own research as well. You just show me how to play it. They say that there is better stuff in there, right?”
“Ugh...” Black Demon froze for a moment and then said, “No problem!”
Then, he beckoned at a couple of Black Demon Guards and said, “Summon some guys, and we’ll go and rob the Pacific Bank! Get a few more Kurumas!”
“Rob? Bank? Kuruma?” The young man looked at Black Demon in bafflement while eating spicy sticks.
“Yeah! This is the fastest way to make money!” Black Demon said in high spirits, “When we have enough money, we can afford to research lots of stuff. I heard that the Wuwei Daoist Alliance had begun producing crystal cars!”
“I got it now... I’ll bring more people to rob this bank thing!”
“Let’s go and drive cars!”
“...”
...
Obviously, after watching Mr. Fang’s livestream, many players began playing the King of Fighters, and the sales of this small game had reached 900 and was still growing. The compartment for the King of Fighters in Mr. Fang’s Qzone was full of players shaking the joysticks and coming and going.
Meanwhile, curious about Dajin’s miraculous victory against the invasion, many forces began to study their tactics. As news spread, the sales of Grand Theft Auto 5 shot up again.
At this moment, Mr. Fang looked at the wheel on the System Interface and saw three items, three movies, and four games on it.
“Final Fantasy VII Advent Children? A Chinese Ghost Story? Devil May Cry 3? Onimusha 3? Resident Evil 3, Godly Weapon Fragment, Celestial Bean, random Bloodline Elixir...” While looking at the games, movies, and items, Mr. Fang began to turn the wheel.
“Bloodline Elixir?” Mr. Fang was tempted. “This is good! If I take it, no one will dare to criticize my poor talent anymore!”
One round, two rounds, three rounds...
Mr. Fang stared at the wheel when it stopped. “Devil May Cry 3.”
“...”
Meanwhile, a prompt appeared on Mr. Fang’s system interface. [The number of players for a single small game reaches 1,000, and you have achieved the accomplishment – Bringing in a Fortune Each Day. You got an achievement gift bag. Do you want to open it?]
[Open]

Mr. Fang: “...”
