Black Tech Internet Cafe System
chapter-455

“Post Bar Forum?” Fang Qi glanced at the screen and saw the icon. “…”

Soon, a blue square icon for the Post Bar Forum appeared on the desktop of all the computers.

This was the third free basic software after QQ and the Virtual Item Trading Net.

Since it was unlocked by the System, it appeared on the desktop directly. In contrast, the Matrix was a prize drawn by Fang Qi, and he could choose when to release it.

For the customers in the old shops, they would understand the movie. But for the customers in the new shop, they didn’t have the slightest idea about internet, and the only reason that they came to the shop was to play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.

Since these people had no idea, if he released the Matrix now, they wouldn’t be as excited and inclined to purchase it.

Therefore, Mr. Fang decided to wait for a while before releasing the Matrix. At least the new customers would have to have a basic idea about virtual reality, computers, and machines, etc.

Many new players played the game by themselves and talked about it in their small circles; they knew nothing about QQ or Qzone. They also didn’t know that in the distant place beyond the Heavenly Abyss Sea, another group of cultivators was also playing this game. When they encountered problems while playing the game, they only discussed about it in their small circles.

However, things changed after the appearance of Post Bar Forum. At this moment, Mr. Fang created a post bar named ‘The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3’.

At this moment, Mr. Fang saw a profile photo jump in QQ.

Su Tianji: [(Husky’s dumb cute face) How come I found another new item?]

[Are you watching out for new items each day?] Mr. Fang was exasperated. [You saw it the moment it appeared?]

[ What’s this for? I saw nothing when I clicked it open…]

Mr. Fang. “…”

However, as the owner of the shop, he was the only one who knew how to use this thing.

Soon, Mr. Fang replied after a series of operations, [Now, enter it again.]

Su Tianji entered the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Post Bar. Sure enough, she saw two posts inside.

[Discussion: The Plausibility of Merging Five-Elemental Spiritual Spells]

[Guide: How to Obtain the Fantasy Realm Crystal]

“Fantasy Realm Crystal?!” In the Jiuhua City Shop, Su Tianji’s eyes widened as she held a cup of milk tea in her hands. She exclaimed after a moment of stupefaction, “The shop owner released the method of getting the Fantasy Realm Crystal!”

Different from the original version, in the system version, there were very few treasures that could block spells from Chong Lou.

Different from the group chats, the Post Bar Forum had no restriction ‘circles’ for participants, and anyone could discuss all topics regarding a game or a movie. Soon, a large group of people replied to the posts. New players asked questions in the post bar while new guides and discussion posts appeared.

[The Legend of the Sword and Fairy Communication Group is recruiting new members! The QQ Group Number is…] Several days later, this post appeared in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 Post Bar.

At this moment, Mr. Fang glanced at the activation number of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 and found that it had surpassed 3,000.

[I’m going to battle Chong Lou now!] Nalan Mingxue posted a screenshot in the group, showing that she was on the way to the New Immortal World.

[How come you guys are so fast?] Wang Xie froze when he entered the group chat.

[How come you’re so fast?] Huangpu Tao with the ID [Black Dragon Castellan] posted a message, [I play eight hours a day but only reached the Evil Sword Immortal. By the way, the Evil Sword Immortal is so powerful…]

[I’ll post a guide after passing ]

Mr. Fang, [It sounds like a farewell.]

Song Qingfeng, [ He is not replying; I guess the battle has begun.]

– One hour later –

Nalan Mingxue: [(Husky’s pitiable face) I was beaten senseless…]

Jiang Xiaoyue: [I haven’t got there yet.]

Song Qingfeng: [Brother Chong Lou is so powerful… I guess I’ll lose to him tomorrow too.]

Black-robed Daoist Zhou Mo’s profile photo was a picture of Chong Lou. “After all, he is the Demon Lord.”

…

While the people in the Half City Shop and Jiuhua City Shop had gotten to know each other through battles, the relationship between the new shop and the old shops was much friendlier as they were all playing the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.

There was less competition. Instead, the cultivators discussed with each other in the group chats and forums as if they were studying Dao together in a peaceful atmosphere.

…

One day, Mr. Fang finally added a new movie on the small blackboard: [The Matrix]

The Spiritual State’s climate was even milder when compared to Jiuhua City in the Deserted Sea Realm. It was well into the spring. Even though Yuanyang City was built on the top of a spiritual mountain, it wasn’t cold. Meanwhile, a big demon still stayed in Half City, the coldest of the three shops.

“Achoo! When will that damn Old Demon Fang take me to the new shop?!”

Mr. Fang had no such intention at all.

The disciples of the Heavenly Academy came to the shop whenever the elders didn’t hold lectures.

The elders of the Heavenly Academy didn’t have lectures each day. For the geniuses, self-cultivation was more important since the masters only acted as guides. It was why the disciples of the Heavenly Academy had lots of free time.

Some even went out for a long time to experience the world or seek adventures.

“Sister Lanruo, I can do it.”

Li Lanruo prepared instant noodles and milk tea for her good friends in school while she was preparing her own snacks.

The Li Family had few members left in the world, and she was the most talented one in the family, which was why Elder Li Wuya and Little Xin’er hoped that she could put all her energy on cultivation. However, she would help them out in the shop since she came to the shop every day.

“Boss, how come the main item isn’t the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3?” While walking past the counter, Li Lanruo saw that the first item on the small blackboard changed to a movie with the weird name ‘The Matrix’.

She knew what movies were since she had watched Shu Mountain at Jiang Xiaoyue’s recommendation.

Zong Wu came to the shop whenever he had time, so it was up to how much affairs he had everyday. Today, he wasn’t in the shop yet, which meant that he was busy.

However, people who were not busy walked into the shop.

“Master, be careful.”

Wang Xie helped Old Academy Master Gu Tingyu into the shop.

Gu Tingyun had retired from the position of Academy Master long ago. Right now, during the last years of his life, his only job was teaching disciples.

Wang Xie’s only job right now was studying the Heavenly Insight Scroll.

But since his master even came here to play games, he didn’t need to study at all.

The master and disciple were the earliest customers in the shop almost every day.

“What are they doing standing around the counter?” Gu Tingyun narrowed his old eyes.

Then, he heard Jiang Xiaoyue asking in her crisp voice, “Boss, are you going to watch The Matrix?”

“Of course. Why not?”

“Then, I’ll watch it too!” Anyway, it was always right to follow the shop owner.

“The Matrix?” Wang Xie and Gu Tingyun exchanged a look. “What’s this?”
