Chapter 35 Short Video Release
After Zhou Chen had eaten and drunk his fill, he was lying on the sofa playing with his phone when he suddenly received a message.
[Swamp Wizard: Fluorescent Protein asked me to ask you when we can log in to the game and form a group. They want to go to the Batcave dungeon.]
It didn't leave any psychological trauma, but Zhou Chen didn't want to see those two beasts for the time being.
Forming a group? He's almost afraid of women, men, and humans!
His subordinate paused, and Zhou Chen quickly replied
Ye Lingfei: I got bit by a dog and need a shot. I'm not available to log in today. Can you lead the group for me?
The swamp wizard replied quickly
[Swamp Wizard: [okjpg]]
Ye Lingfei: I told Fluorescent Protein, "I was bitten by two dogs, one male and one female."
[Swamp Wizard: OK, have a good rest]
After closing the chat window, Zhou Chen changed his posture and browsed the forum.
The official Weibo account of the Immortal Demon World updated two videos. Zhou Chen randomly clicked on them and saw a familiar face—Chen Hong?!
Shit, he's going to fight with the sect leader?
Zhou Chen sat up straight suddenly. The videos on his phone were still playing. The two videos were very long, half an hour each, but Zhou Chen watched them very seriously.
As the music began to play, the young Jian Shiyuan slowly entered the players' view. Dressed in a linen robe, his figure was as graceful as jade, and he exuded the youthful aura of a young man. His face was expressionless, his gaze on people and objects indifferent. As he walked among the crowd, no one was willing to look away.
Zhou Chen forgot to turn off the barrage.
At this moment, the barrage was like crazy, brushing frantically——
[Fuck, brother, I can do it! ]
[He stands out from the crowd, Ruisibai. Where did this downtrodden nobleman come from? He doesn't fit in with his surroundings, as if he has his own barrier!]
Is this the legendary protagonist's halo? To be honest, I couldn't take my eyes off him.
【Suddenly I feel like gender doesn't need to be so rigid.】
What's the Sect Master holding? A red fox! Oh my god, so cute!
Zhou Chen opened a bottle of Coke and drank while watching the video. In the video, the young man Jian Shiyuan was performing with a fox, while the barrage of comments started a heated discussion.
[There are monsters in this world? Monsters eat people?]
[Nonsense, the name of the game is "Immortal Demon World", so it must be a world of immortal heroes where humans, ghosts, demons and monsters coexist. Is it weird that monsters eat humans?]
This world is so corrupt! Any monk can be supported by local officials? Tsk, what can they contribute? What a waste of taxpayers' money.
[They can fight! (dog head) How can mortals defeat monks? ]
If individual strength cannot be transformed into social productivity, then their existence is meaningless. Heroes are common, but heroes who cannot promote the progress of the times can only live in legendary stories and are useless.
[As mentioned above, when humans truly possess immense power, how many will actually bow down and listen to the voices of mortals? Driving progress isn't easy, and for progress to happen, it requires the unification of more people. Mortals far outnumber monks, meaning that to advance the times, monks must unite the mortals. But when monks possess immense power, will they still consider mortals their fellow men? It's like going to the zoo to see gorillas. Would you want to unite with them? Furthermore, uniting mortals would be a betrayal of the monastic community. Do you think the other monks would allow this person to mess around and disrupt the hierarchy?]
Zhou Chen leaned on his elbows and thought.
Indeed, as the comments said, if people really have power, who is willing to bend down and help the weak?
If he were a monk, he would do small acts of kindness and help those he saw, but he would never betray his group and get himself into endless trouble. He imagined it for a moment. He did know how to make guns, but if he had the cultivation level to shoot arrows as sharp as bullets out of thin air, he would definitely not take out the gun manufacturing blueprints.
The reason is that powerful weapons can allow mortals to have strength comparable to his own, and then he will no longer be safe and will not enjoy privileges.
Zhou Chen knew clearly that he was just an ordinary person.
He is selfish, timid and cowardly.
So, when he saw that the young man Jian Shiyuan had cultivation, he put down the drink in his hand.
[Is the Sect Master a monk? And he's still doing street circus? This, he...]
[Self-reliant and unconcerned with fame and fortune, Jian Shiyuan is quite an interesting person. He truly deserves to be the core of the immortal and demon world. Anyone else would be unworthy.]
I understand what "staying clean in the mud" means. This world is too easy to fall into depravity. If he takes one step forward, he will be trapped in darkness forever.
[Putting myself in their shoes, if it were me, I would definitely seek refuge with a rich man on the first day. I wouldn't want to work if I could be supported by someone.]
Zhou Chen slid his finger across the screen, just touching the eyes of the young man Jian Shiyuan. He sighed, "What an interesting person."
The video continued to play, and Zhou Chen had a smile on his face. When he saw the old Taoist's death, he remained calm. It was normal for the upgrade-style male protagonist to lose his master. Until -
The young man Jian Shiyuan held up the purple gold, and the picture was directly cut off. Countless golden fragments were like a golden rain, vaguely foreshadowing misfortune.
That night, many cultivators surrounded the bamboo house. The candlelight was dim. The young man Jian Shiyuan in the house glanced sideways, and his shadow bent and stretched out particularly slanted and long.
Zhou Chen restrained his expression and lit a cigarette. He watched the monks in the video interrogating the young man Jian Shiyuan. Zhou Chen took a puff of cigarette, but inhaled too quickly. The smoke choked his trachea and made him cough violently. He could feel his hands shaking.
He was having trouble breathing.
This is a world of cannibalism. Zhou Chen never had any expectations for this world, but he didn't expect that demons eat people, and people eat people even worse.
Amidst the smoke, Zhou Chen thought about himself. His parents were just ordinary workers, and he was not good at studying. He could achieve what he has today thanks to e-sports. On Blue Star, he could at least turn his life around on this path. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, ordinary people like him had no chance to escape poverty.
[Travel through time? I've traveled through time, so what? I can make gunpowder and preserved eggs, so what? If I make them, can't keep them, and circulate them, I might even lose my life. Farewell!]
[This group of bullies are just local tyrants. I can’t imagine how perverted the old monsters in the world of immortal cultivation are.]
They not only oppress mortals, but also monks. Anyone not in their camp will be eliminated. Even monks with extraordinary talent find it difficult to thrive in such an environment. And what achievements can one achieve by joining their camp? They will never leave Ping'an Town. There is no future in joining them.
The most terrifying thing is that they have monopolized limited resources. Grassroots geniuses cannot be born in this kind of soil. They have stifled this possibility.
[In this kind of environment, the Sect Master is still able to cultivate such swordsmanship. It's truly amazing.]
Zhou Chen was almost finishing his cigarette when he watched the young man Jian Shiyuan fall off the cliff.
[The protagonist's immortality rule: there must be martial arts secrets and treasures at the bottom of the cliff. The leader will be revived immediately with full health and will go back to chop off their heads.]
[Fuck, that's tragic! The branch pierced through his body! I know it's trendy to abuse the main character lately, but the plotters don't have to be so cruel, do they?]
[What is the master doing? Damn, the barrage of bullets protects him!]
The burnt cigarette burned Zhou Chen's hand, and his hand couldn't help but tremble. He watched the young man Jian Shiyuan digging himself in half with a sword.
The image had been processed, and he could not see Jian Shiyuan's detailed actions. He could only glimpse countless bright red blood oozing out of Jian Shiyuan's body. The image was weird and vividly gorgeous. Jian Shiyuan's pale face, colorless lips, and jade-like arm. He held the long sword upside down, said nothing, and slowly and firmly dug himself open.
He was alive! He was awake! He was tearing himself apart alive!
Several images flashed quickly in Zhou Chen's mind: the action of fluorescent protein, the Lancet joke, and them putting their hands into his body.
His mind quickly became blurry and the scene became distant. In just a moment, his past memories became blurry again, but Zhou Chen still couldn't help feeling nauseous.
He knelt down to grab the trash can, hugged the trash can, and tried to vomit but nothing came out.
The master is really too strong.
Whether in terms of ability or character, he is a first-class hero. Zhou Chen cannot imagine such a person. He is really cruel to himself, so cruel that others are convinced.
[Luckily there are barrages. Thanks to the official Xianmo World for censoring the images, otherwise I would really have a nightmare. I won’t say more. Master Niu Beer]
[I thought the protagonist fell off a cliff, and the real clan leader fell off a cliff, but he managed to climb back up on his own? His mentality is terrifying!]
[Some protagonists don't need adventures; no matter what difficulties they face, they can overcome them.]
Nothing can defeat this kind of person. As long as he's not dead and has a breath left, he'll find a way to climb back up.
Zhou Chen drank a large glass of water, but his eyes were reluctant to leave the video.
He watched Jian Shiyuan climb up step by step, slowly and firmly. There was blood behind him, but no tears.
The screen gradually turned black. Just when Zhou Chen thought the video had reached its end, it was another town with strangers walking in unfamiliar streets. Zhou Chen put down his water cup and admired an ingenious plan.
Zhou Chen remained calm the entire time. He watched the purple gold mine collapse, the Ping'an Town catch fire, and countless people running wildly. He never said a word.
But the barrage was going crazy.
The fake Huang Rui is Jian Shiyuan, absolutely! The wisdom displayed by the Sect Master is admirable. When powerless, how to seek revenge as quickly as possible, he has given a perfect answer.
I feel like the fake Huang Rui isn't the clan leader. He's too cruel and ruthless, with a ruthless nature. The clan leader, on the other hand, gives me a warm and gentle feeling, which is not like him at all. This might be the ending the game company gave us, fearing we'd be upset.
[Regardless of whether the fake Huang Rui is the clan leader or not, it can be considered a brilliant ending. From now on, Ping'an Town has regained its memory, and the vast world is his free to soar.]
Am I the only one focused on the purple gold? Holy shit, so much money, just destroyed like that! My heart breaks!
"If I can't take it with me, why not destroy it? Leave it to those cultivators? The fake Huang Rui is really powerful. He destroyed the purple gold without even a frown. If he can grow up, he will definitely be a dominant force."
Zhou Chen watched the netizens arguing on the barrage, refusing to give in to each other.
He didn't dwell on whether the fake Huang Rui was the sect leader. He just felt that people like the sect leader could easily cause disputes among the public. He was a very popular topic, and no matter whether others liked him or not, they all wanted to express their opinions on his behavior.
He is not pure, he is very complicated. It takes a lot of time to understand Jian Shiyuan.
With admiration, appreciation and respect, Zhou Chen clicked on the next video.
With the previous story as a prelude, Zhou Chen always maintained a calm mood, no matter whether it was Huang Si's ingratitude or his thoughtfulness and gentleness when testing Zi Yi, he looked at what Jian Shiyuan did and just slowed down his breathing.
He followed Jian Shiyuan as he laughed, frowned, concentrated, and pondered. He watched Jian Shiyuan's every move.
The barrage of comments has been going on for a long time, and netizens have too many topics to argue about.
Some people are discussing whether Jian Shiyuan actually killed the ogres.
Some people are speculating [Why is Jian Shiyuan so gentle to children]
Someone is arguing about the difference between Zi Yi and Jian Shiyuan.
Zhou Chen was not interested in any of this. He only saw a person who grew rapidly after experiencing hardships.
In his heart, Jian Shiyuan is no longer an NPC, but a living person.
He has his own story, independent emotions, and a strong will, and he strives to survive in the world of immortals and demons.
The screen stopped at the bracelet on Zi Yi's hand, and Zhou Chen silently read the comments with the most likes.
[The story began with the bracelet, and ended with the bracelet. Ask your heart and mine: life is full of hardships. Do not be happy because of things, do not be sad because of others. Life is bright, and we walk together on the great path.]
Isn't this the charm of the world of immortals and demons? Excellent faction leaders, a grand world where they can roam freely.
