Chapter 802 - The Beginning of the New Expansion
Fang Qi glanced at the task for the release of Journey to the West again.
[New Task (Will be issued when 80% of Journey to the West is completed): Gods and Buddhas in Heaven
Task Target: average sales of each episode of Turbulent Homeland exceed 30,000
Task Reward: the privilege to publish the TV Series, Journey to the West]
Of course, after 20 percent of the System was upgraded, there was more content than this.
He continued to read the updates about new champions.
No tasks would be issued for the updates of the released games.
After the update, a new group of champions would join and fight in League of Legends.
There were corresponding cinematic trailers for different champions, so the players could learn more about them.
…
At this moment, the players in the Jiuhua City Shop were working on the video about their gaming experience. From Resident Evil to Diablo to the Legend of Sword and Fairy, they selected pictures and video clips and revisited the beautiful and prosperous lands.
They remembered the boisterous and prosperous streets in Hendon Myre and the beautiful port on the West Coast. They also recalled the amazement that they felt at the first sight of the Sky Tower which reached up into Empyrean.
In that place, there weren’t so many bloody killings as in the Legend of Mir 2. They experienced the novelty and enjoyment of their journey as adventurers.
At this moment, Lan Yan saw many old screenshots and video clips. “Look at this picture we took when we first boarded the magic zeppelin to the West Coast.”
In the virtual image on her communication jade, a group of young people stood on the magic zeppelin that was hovering in the sky. A puff of white clouds floated past, revealing the bright blue sky in the distance and the sapphire blue ocean below them. Looking up along the shore, they saw a prosperous port surrounded by jade-like lush forest. In the garden-like city, buildings spread out from the center like stars, presenting a pleasing scene from every angle.
“Huh? Look!” Lan Yao pointed at the two people from the Ultimate West Realm in the picture; they were Luo Piaoling and Sia.
Ye Xiaoye exclaimed, “I remember! This girl was once beaten witless by the shop owner.”
“I remember that they said they would guard this continent well. These Ultimate West Realm people are quite fun.” Lan Yan covered her smile with her palm. “I guess they are still playing the game.”
“They lived in the bitter cold big snow mountains and had never seen such a beautiful place before,” Nalan Mingxue said, “It’s natural that they were amazed by it.”
“Do you have a video? Let’s use it.”
“Okay. When we have time, should we go back and play it?” Lan Yan suggested, “Um… they seem to be in Empyrean now, right?”
Although in this game, they didn’t achieve any great deeds as in other games, the adventures and fights with stronger monsters were quite interesting.
“The new expansion has been released for a long time now, and I guess our items are outdated,” Song Qingfeng complained, “We’ll go back when the new expansion is released. By then, their items will be outdated too.”
…
Mr. Fang continued reading the information on the System Interface.
[The new chapter of Dungeon Fighter Online, Creation Century, is 70% completed.]
[Please post the update trailer on the official website.]
[Cinematics trailer of the second awakening is obtained. This update will be done online after the Creation Century is 100% completed. The players don’t have to log off.]
[After the update, the third class-advancement for all classes and the second awakening skills will be available.]
“Huh?” Mr. Fang froze and yelled in confusion, “Online update!!??”
“I’m afraid that we will be in the news on the next day with the title – tens of thousands of players suddenly died in Origins Internet Club. I warn you, don’t make trouble for me. It’s fine with other expansions, but how can you do this update online!?”
System replied, [System upgrading…]
Mr. Fang was at a loss for words.
“F*ck!”
“You’re the boss!”
…
After calling the despicable System several times and receiving no response even when he gave it the middle finger, Mr. Fang had to give up. “If something happens, it’s all your fault. Don’t put the blame on me.”
Damn it!
He continued to read and finally saw the content about privilege upgrades.
Obviously, Mr. Fang, the somewhat fraudulent shop owner, was on his way to becoming a shop owner in the real sense after continuous privilege upgrades.
Mr. Fang saw that, after the System finished 20 percent of the upgrade, he received another privilege: prize vault.
[Elementary-Level System Prize Vault – you have obtained the right to organize any internet café activity besides the tasks given by the System. You have the right to set the number and content of the prizes.]
[The Elementary-Level System Prize Vault can produce five prizes per year. Among them, four will be randomly produced, and one will be custom-made. The level of the custom-made prize can’t exceed 80% of the highest-level system item that the host possesses.]
[Producing prizes will consume system energy.]
[The host will receive no rewards for self-organized activities.]
[All the content of this stage has been upgraded. Please manage the shops well and wait for the next stage of the upgrade.]
[The updated content is ready to be released Do you choose to release now?]
Mr. Fang answered, “Yes.”
…
At this moment, dark clouds covered the sky above Canglan City with flashing lightning bolts and booming thunder.
The world turned gloomy.
Containing deadly roars of fury, the chilly winds seemed to come from the ancient darkness.
The deep darkness contained the presence of death and corruption. From the horrifying darkness full of deadly presence, a huge head stuck out from the dark clouds.
“AH-! What’s that?!” The peaceful city was plunged into alarm and unprecedented fear. The countless pedestrians scrambled to run.
“Roar-!” A horrifying roar exploded like a thunder in the sky above the city. Screams and yells of alarm were everywhere in the city.
The elves who had just run out of the shop to check out the commotion were instantly shocked unconsciousness.
At this moment, people saw that a huge black demon dragon flapped its huge wings and slowly landed from the sky, causing a giant black tornado.
“Sir! Sir!” The employees of the shop called out to the shop owner frantically, “Some elves fainted in fear! Come!”
“Oh! Who fainted in fear?!” Furious, Rowling jumped up from the ground and said, “I just felt dizzy because of the shaking! We elves are not that faint-hearted!”
When she turned around, she suddenly saw a huge black dragon head and two golden eyes which were staring at her by the entrance.
“Ahhhh-!” Shrill screams sounded.
She tripped over another elf and bumped her head on the tea table, causing little stars to appear in her eyes.
“Thud!”
“Sir! Sir!” Merlin was frantic. “That elf was so scared that she fell unconscious again!!”
“Where are they!? Where are they?!” Having just finished browsing the upgraded content, Mr. Fang heard the yells and hurried over to check out the situation.
Sure enough, he saw some elves lying on the ground while a few of them had just gotten up.
“Hey-?!”
Then, he saw a black-faced young man with two wings on his back walking in and yelling, “Sir, Get me online!”
Boom!
Before he could finish, a huge sound resonated in the area, and he instantly flew out like a black shooting star.
“If you scare my customers again next time, you don’t have to come anymore!”
A vague figure with silver hair and in a blue windbreaker appeared on Fang Qi, making it seem like he turned into someone else. Half a second later, that figure vanished, and Fang Qi turned back to himself. It was so fast that everyone thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.
“Hu…” Mr. Fang exhaled deeply and thought, I practiced this for a few years already, but I’m still not fast enough…
– In the Black Stone Castle –
The dwarf had just put away the fallen books.
Boom!
A huge noise sounded, and a black figure crashed down from the ceiling, knocking the books everywhere!
“Ah-!” A frantic howl sounded, “How come you’re back again?!”
“…”
