“This is a Xianxia game, but you played it into a horror game; what will happen if you play the real horror games?” In disdain, Mr. Fang put on the virtual reality headset and entered the game.

It was still the interlude animation before the game.

However, the viewers were still stupefied by just watching the battle in the New Immortal World and when Chong Lou destroyed the Demon-Suppressing Tower and took out the demonic sword. The scenes got more stunning as time went by!

“Guild President… What… is this?!”

“This is the main business of our shop.” Mr. Fang played the game while introducing the basic knowledge about games to them.

“As employees of the shop, even though you don’t play games, you must watch me play and gain some basic knowledge about them,” Mr. Fang said earnestly, “Then, you can explain them better to the customers. Understand?”

“Ugh… Guild President…” Li Wuya said, “Can… this really increase our cultivation strengths?! Can we learn the ultimate techniques of that Immortal General?!”

Mr. Fang controlled Jing Tian as he got up from the bed and said, “See? In this game, I’m the main character, which means that you can obtain whatever the main character learns. There’s another thing called ‘movies’ in which you can observe and learn everything you see. Now, I’ll show you how to play this one.”

They stood behind Mr. Fang and intently watched him play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.

“The Guild President got beaten by a beautiful but willful girl!”

“No. He’s not Guild President but the main character…”

While they watched, they whispered to each other.

“Guild President got scolded by the bookkeeper…”

“Shush… He’s the main character! Main character!”

“The main character was beaten by the small demon! He’s just an ordinary person…”

They followed the plot until Chong Lou walked into the pawn shop to pawn the demonic sword.

“Isn’t he that demon?!”

“How come he’s here…”

Exclamations came from behind Mr. Fang.

On the screen, Chong Lou looked at Jing Tian with surprise and disappointment before saying with a sigh, “You have come so low…?”

The voice seemed to ooze disappointment and melancholy that had accumulated for thousands of years. When the demonic sword returned to Jing Tian’s hand, the story of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 began.

The main plot of this game was reincarnation in which the characters had forgotten the stories in their previous lives. The audience finally understood that this insignificant character was in fact the reincarnation of the Immortal General who had battled with this Demon Lord in the New Immortal World.

Immortal General Fei Peng and Demon Lord Chong Lou were foes but appreciated each other at the same time. This was the first encounter between Jing Tian and Chong Lou in the mortal world. All fate and interactions of their previous lives between Jing Tian and Chong Lou, Xue Jian, and the demonic sword were going to be revealed in this lifetime, and the audience was brought into a wondrous Xianxia world.

If what happened before could be described as that they had been stunned by the horrifying battle between the immortal and the demon, then they now had a strong wish to learn the stories between these characters and their wondrous adventures.

“Sister Lanruo, look! The sword can actually follow Jing Tian!” Watching the scenes on the screen, the shy girl Li Xin’er found that the game was quite interesting instead of scary.

“The awe-inspiring immortal general looks just like us after reincarnation…”

Li Wuya asked, “Guild President… This… can we really learn this stuff? Will we become the reincarnation of this immortal general?”

They knew that it was just a story, but it looked incredibly real even through the screen; it was unimaginable!

– Meanwhile, outside the shop –

“There’s a new shop here?” A few stylishly-dressed young cultivators curiously looked at the shop front. They were about to enter when the clerks from the neighboring shops hurried over to stop them. “Lord, you can’t enter this shop. Would you come to our shops instead?”

“We can’t enter? Why not?”

“They offended someone they can’t afford to offend…” someone explained. “You’d better stay away from this shop.”

“…”

The shopfront was even quieter than before.

Of course, inside the shop, the employees were bursting with excitement when they learned that they could experience a true immortal’s life after reincarnation!

“Guild President, if we play it ourselves…” Li Wuya was about to ask if the employees had a discount. However, after glancing at the prices on the small blackboard which was 80 crystals for activation and 2 crystals per hour for computer time, they could well afford it. Instead, he asked, “When we have no customers, can we pay and play the game?”

“Of course!” Mr. Fang said.

He pointed at the eight words on the small black board and said, “Don’t mind others. Play if you want but get out otherwise.”

“Right! Right! Right!” Li Wuya said in excitement, “Play if you want but get out otherwise!”

He wished that no one would come.

Since there were no customers in the shop, Mr. Fang didn’t mind his employees acting as customers and playing the game during work hours.

“You can also watch Jade Dynasty and Shu Mountain; don’t get obsessed with the game,” Mr. Fang reminded them.

“Okay! Guild President!” Everyone was busy playing the game.

After returning from lunch, Mr. Fang said, “Don’t forget to eat.”

“Oayk! Guild President!” Everyone was busy playing the game.

“Remember…”

“Okay! Guild…” Before they could finish speaking, they saw the message on the screen, [Your game time has reached the limit…]

“…” They all looked at Mr. Fang morosely; anyone who saw them would cry since it was so sad. “Can’t we play a little more… Just a little…”

Mr. Fang looked at his employees. “Are you here to work or play games?”

As time went by, the players in the other two shops discovered this new game and began to play it without Mr. Fang’s recommendation.

Devil May Cry 3 was indeed great, but it focused on warriors and was not an ideal game for cultivators. In the game, most cultivators got beaten senseless, and they found that Xianxia games were more to their taste.

Several days passed, and the new shop still had no customers. Besides Li Wuya and Li Lanruo who were busy acting as both employees and customers, no one came into the shop or even asked about their business.

This morning, Li Lanruo and the others were about to leave Taiwang Inn and head to Origins Internet Club when they heard, “Look! The little princess of the Jiang Family has arrived!”

“Really? Even the little princess of the Jiang Family came to the Heavenly Academy?!”

“Wang Xie, Nangong Zhuo, Xun Yuan… Including the geniuses who are already studying in Heavenly Academy… My goodness, what a crowd…”

A message appeared on Mr. Fang’s new communication jade, [Boss, is your shop open? ]
