Chapter 208 - A New Crisis
Chapter 208: A New Crisis
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Dong Qingli was a loyal fan of Diablo, but she was only about level 20.
After all, she played the game to entertain herself. Besides playing Diablo, she also played the Legend of the Sword and Fairy and watched the TV series.
Obviously, she was no match in the competition for the experienced players of Diablo who had reached Act V, but it was fun to participate. Therefore, she also entered the competition.
Many Lingyun Academy instructors and other cultivators and warriors who had just begun playing the game shared her thoughts.
Not everyone entered the competition for the rewards. Many players just wanted to try fighting with other players after killing many monsters!
PVP and PVE were totally different concepts. After all, the Diablo that the System offered didn’t offer PVP as an option.
The opening of PVP caused a heated discussion in the shop!
There were brand-new skill combinations and item combinations used for fights among players!
As for the team competition for Counter Strike, the disciples of Lingyun Academy were the first team registering for the competition.
The Lingyun Team’s captain was Nalan Mingxue, and the members included Xu Zixin, Shen Qingqing, Lin Shao, and Xu Luo.
As the highest-leveled assassin who had the best items for the class in Diablo, Song Qingfeng planned to enter the Diablo competition and didn’t appear on the list for Lingyun Team.
The new players like Ji Wu naturally wouldn’t enter the Diablo competition, but he didn’t want to miss this opportunity, so he pulled the Royal Princess and the princes into his team.
Since they could master the basic knowledge around guns through watching the Resident Evil movie, they began learning about guns with eagerness.
So, the Royal Team was established.
Fang Qi was at a loss for words when he saw the name of this team.
[TL Note: Here, the author is referring back to the E-Sports Team Royal Club which was formally known as Star Horn Royal and now known as Royal Never Give Up. The name is the same in Chinese.]
While the other major forces began forming teams, people stayed in the shop until it closed for the night.
…
Meanwhile, in the Taixi Faction on the other side of the continent.
The old man looked at the information transmitted to him in the communication jade with a grim expression.
“They are organizing a competition at the same time as the Cultivation Realm Conference… the shop is trying to take the Wuwei Daoist Alliance away from the Cultivation Realm Conference?!”
“How can such a thing happen?!” The old man murmured to himself, “It has attracted so many forces that it’s too big to handle?”
“It is indeed tricky. While we were not careful, these small fishes have gained such big progress!”
At this moment, Feng Xi still didn’t dare to report that he was injured, and the ultimate treasure had been taken.
He must make a plan to take back the ultimate treasure and suppress this shop.
Right now, he considered enlisting help from the major forces around Dajin.
These forces have been trying to gain favors from our three factions, Feng Xi thought, It seems that I have to enlist their help.
Soon, Feng Xi sent the plan back for approval.
[In this situation, I approve your request. We Taixi Faction will show appreciation to the people who offer help in this issue.] The old man in the Taixi Faction replied to the request.
After receiving the approval, Feng Xi was pleased and relieved.
If the faction sent help, the news that he failed his mission and lost the ultimate treasure would probably spread all over the Three Saint Gates.
Now, he only needed to seal his lips and redeem his honor, so he wouldn’t feel too ashamed even if his failure was known to his faction after this issue was solved.
Yundian Upper Realm was a stretch of spiritual land that wasn’t too big to the southwest of Dajin.
Of course, it was not only not big when compared with the territory of Dajin. In fact, it was a large cultivating country made up of several ancient cultivation families. It occupied the entire Southwest Spiritual Land and had created laws and established cities!
They were also one of the biggest competing forces in the Cultivation Realm Conference, which was held every 30 years.
Feng Xi had his eye on them.
For cultivators, Dajin wasn’t as rich as Yundian Upper Realm which had a lot of spiritual land and cultivation resources. Dajin had fewer restrictions for warriors, but it wasn’t a perfect place for cultivators.
In fact, the major forces such as the Blue Flame Faction and the Liuyun Daoist Palace needed help from their peers in Yundian Upper Realm for resources and techniques.
Most importantly, Yundian Upper Realm had a rare mineral named Yundian Jade which was the best materials for most of the top-level spiritual artifacts!
Feng Xi thought that he didn’t need to wage a war. Instead, he would put pressure on the Wuwei Daoist Alliance and even Dajin with threats of cutting off their channels of resources. He believed that these people would make the right decisions then!
“I’ll force that kid into handing back the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron and apologizing to me!”
…
While Feng Xi hurried to Yundian Upper Realm, Fang Qi’s shop released updates to Jade Dynasty and Wind and Cloud.
In the previous episode of Jade Dynasty, the Seven Peak Competition was imminent. As for Wind and Cloud, it came to the part where Nie Feng had conquered Wushuang City, and the Sword Saint and Xiong Ba were going to battle in seven days, which meant that the two strongest people in the last few episodes would battle each other!
With the two TV series entering their respective climaxes, the fans of Jade Dynasty and Wind and Cloud were exhilarated!
“Ahh! I’m so happy!” Thinking of the excellent content in the new episodes, Dong Qingli almost skipped into the shop. “Sir, you have new episodes of Jade Dynasty, right?”
Many people were anxious about the competition, but she wasn’t since she was only at level 20.
“Sir! Hurry up and activate the 11h and 12th episodes of Jade Dynasty!” Lan Mo and Jun Yangzi hurried into the shop. “Two bowls of instant noodles with two sausages!”
These guys from the Blue Flame Faction had their eyes on the spiritual spells and spiritual artifacts in Jade Dynasty. Since they were new players to Diablo and Counter Strike, they went straight to the TV series!
Even for the players preparing for the competitions, they wouldn’t miss the new episodes!
The Seven Peak Competition in Jade Dynasty was meaningful since it would show the overall strength of the whole faction, and the cultivators of the Blue Flame Faction and Liuyun Daoist Palace would take this opportunity to see it!
So was the situation with Wind and Cloud for warriors!
Even Su Tianji who had been busy training her team took some time off and ordered a bowl of instant noodles before watching Jade Dynasty with her two favorite disciples.
While enjoying the instant noodles, Su Tianji watched the many colorful swords flying under the vast blue sky and around the magnificent mountains. It was a colorful and beautiful sight!
Seeing this, she wished that she could step on a sword and fly into that world.
I wonder when the disciples of our faction can fly on the swords and travel 1,000 kilometers in one instant… The cultivators including Su Tianji watched the TV series with envy.
