“Master... why do you think people like Uncle-Master Xuyu and Uncle-Master Wuchen Zi refuse to come here?” Zhuge Yu ate a spicy stick and then sipped some iced red tea with enjoyment before asking the question.
“They are not interested in the games and TV Series featuring battles. After all, the games and TV Series here are all about this,” Fairy Qing Yun said, “If one day, the cultivation world is in danger, they will come out and help. But in my opinion, the cultivators from either the Spiritual State or other places are working diligently; there’s no need for your uncle-masters to come out.”
“Hmph! They keep asking us to mail them iced red tea,” Zhuge Yu mumbled, “We should ask them to come here and grow vegetables.”
“Yu’er! You must be respectful to your seniors!” Fairy Qing Yun said solemnly.
“Okay...”
“Don’t talk about them; let’s eat instant noodles first!”
Meanwhile, a group of players were standing around a strange machine – the disassembler.
It had been solely used by Mr. Fang, but now he finally moved it out.
While a group of cultivators and warriors studied the machine, they suddenly heard someone by the counter talk about the new TV Series, and they all looked over with interest.
At this moment, Gu Tingyun and the others walked into the shop. Having walked around and examined the Corsair Fighter Jet for a while, they discovered that they couldn’t get anything out of it by studying only for a moment!
Feeling helpless, they returned to the shop, wanting to first take full use of the eight hours of online time today.
“Master! The shop has released a new TV Series!”
“Legend of the White Snake?” Fairy Qing Yun frowned and thought, “How come it has this name? Is it a story about a snake?”
She walked over curiously.
The janitors also came up with bowls of instant noodles in their hands.
Just like other TV Series, the customers could pay to watch the first four episodes on the first day. After 8 PM, two episodes would be livestreamed on the big screens.
Since TV Series such as Jade Dynasty and Wind and Cloud had ended, many cultivators were out of things to watch, especially the lazy and idle ones.
Su Tianji was one of these cultivators.
Fight Abyss Demons? Why would a lazy cultivator like her fight Abyss Demons?
For the last while, the first thing that she did after entering the shop on the daily was glancing at the small blackboard to see if there was anything new on it.
Today, there was indeed something new on it!
“Potato chips?! Legend of the White Snake?!”
“Master! Master! A new TV Series!” Her two disciples said cheerfully behind her.
“Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go! I’ll take you girls to watch the TV Series!” Su Tianji who had looked spiritless instantly perked up, intending to watch it regardless of what it was.
At this moment, Sia and other people of the Ultimate West Realm walked in. Sia was in a fiery-red dress, and she was still angry that she hadn’t won a prize in the F1 World Championship.
She spoke using the Spiritual State language in her awkward accent, “What are they talking about? Why is it so lively?”
They didn’t watch Jade Dynasty and wasn’t willing to watch Wind and Cloud. After all, if they started studying these things now, they would always lag behind others.
Having just lost to cultivators of the Spiritual State and Deserted Sea Realm, these proud warriors wanted to find an area in which they could surpass others.
After using up the fatigue points in Dungeon Fighter Online, they focused their energy on Final Fantasy and watched it time and time again to study the sword techniques in it.
“What’s this strange thing?” a few people of th eUltimate West Realm immediately looked over.
Soon, they saw Jessica and other janitors who were standing by.
“Ugh? Are you guys from the Ultimate West Realm too?”
“Um...” Carl and others’ faces twitched. “Yeah...”
“You speak the Spiritual State language so well!”
“We grew up in the Spiritual State...” Jessica’s face darkened.
Of course! It’s not difficult for us to learn a language!
Then, the real and fake people of the Ultimate West Realm began a friendly conversation.
“We people of Ultimate West Realm must stick together!” Sia said kindly, “Do you want to watch the Legend of the White Snake with us? I’ll pay for you!”
The outlanders cried and thought, How come there is such a good person?
“...You mean these guys?” Mr. Fang looked over and said, “They are not allowed to go online during work hours.”
“Ah-!” Jessica and her companions were angry, and their faces all turned green. They stared at Mr. Fang with murderous spirit in their eyes.
“We can stand behind them and watch!” Carl said in a low voice, “We’ll know what Legend of the White Snake is!”
“Good idea!”
Sia now had paid for the TV Series. “Activate the Legend of the White Snake for me!”
Then, she and the other people of Ultimate West Realm went online cheerfully.
After opening Super Theater, she saw the logo of the Legend of the White Snake on the interface.
Since the F1 World Championship had just ended, and the character in her main account had made a huge sword with Terra Stone, she wasn’t impatient, entering the game as soon as possible. Instead, she could relax for a bit.
Together with Luo Piaoling and other people of the Ultimate West Realm, they clicked open Legend of the White Snake to watch the TV Series.
Meanwhile, Su Tianji and her disciples had also opened the new TV Series eagerly.
Jiang Xiaoyue and Little Bell also hurried to the computers and began watching it.
Jessica and other outlanders rushed over eagerly to watch from behind, but they saw nothing but a poster on the screen.
“...”
In the nation named Huaxia where Fang Qi had lived before traveling through space and time, there were many beautiful legends about flying on swords and sword immortals who dashed into the netherworld. There were also mythical tales about mountain spirits turning into human forms.
[TL Note: Huaxia is another word for China.]
Different from other movies and TV Series which began with grand scenes, this TV Series started with a story in a past lifetime.
Legend of the White Snake began mildly with a small story in which a young boy who took care of cows saved a white snake from an old snake hunter.
Bai Suzhen, the white snake, made an oath that she would forever remember this favor and her savior.
“Is this TV Series a story about this small snake?” Curious, Su Tianji stared at the small white snake and wondered, Will it cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years and become a big snake?
Soon, it was 1,700 years later.
“Ahh! How come this snake has grown so big?!” In the Yuanyang City Shop, Little Bell was so startled that it almost fell from its chair.
In the misty valley where thunderbolts flashed, a white demon snake bigger than a dragon winded through the mountains. She turned from a small demon to the human form, and she went down the mountain and entered the mortal world. Seeing the world from the perspective of a demon, the people in this world felt very curious.
“Ya! Guys, look! She tamed a green snake!” Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed. Many viewers saw the battle between the white snake and the green snake, and they watched intently.
From this point on, the TV Series went on the main track and got a lot more interesting.
In the misty drizzle on the day of Qingming Festival, the white snake finally found the reincarnation of her savior from 1,700 years ago at the broken bridge on West Lake.
Standing with an oil paper umbrella in her hand, Bai Suzhen’s white-clad figure stood in the misty drizzle on the bank of West Lake. With the beautiful scenery of West Lake as the background, this scene was permanently branded into the viewers’ minds.
At this moment, many cultivators and warriors wished that they could replace Xu Xian, the reincarnation of the young boy.
When the players played games such as the Legend of the Sword and Fairy and Dungeon Fighter Online, they would hear lovely music. Besides being melodious, the music in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy could even refresh their minds and calm their souls.
At this moment, they looked puzzled. “Um? The TV Series also has music?”
Then, they heard the lyrics of the song, “West Lake is so beautiful in March. Spring drizzle is as sweet as wine, and the willow trees with new spouts look like mist...”
“Ugh? What’s this song?”
“Ah? This episode ends here?!” Su Tianji exclaimed.
