“I quit!” While the others were defeated by Fang Qi only once, Liu Ningyun was beaten senseless by him with one hand three times in front of everyone.

She was so angry that she stopped playing.

“Scummy Shop Owner, show some manners to your guests and go easy on them.” Ruan Ning was indignant for Liu Ningyun. “You said that you’d fight with only one hand, but you used this shameless move that couldn’t be dodged or leaped over. How could she continue the battle?”

“Young Master Song, shall we play another round?”

“Come on! I’ll choose the character that the shop owner just played!” Lin Shao entered the game again and chose Joe Higashi. He was having a great time using Hurricane Upper-cut one after another the moment the fight began.

On the other side, Mr. Fang controlled Iori Yagami with one hand.

“Humph! I’ll see what you can do this time!” Ruan Ning smugly comforted Liu Ningyun who was too angry to play this small game again. “Mr. Fang taught us this shameless battle style, and his opponent will be using it on him.”

Mr. Fang calmly hooked his little finger around the metal stick part of the joystick while he pressed his thumb and index finger on the buttons leisurely. After finding an opening, Iori Yagami leaped over the tornadoes and interrupted his opponent’s attack with swift light punches!

Looking at Joe Higashi who had been knocked down to the ground, Mr. Fang opened his hands and shrugged while singing in Cantonese, “Today I saw snow drifting through the cold night…”

It was The Boundless Sea and Sky , a song by Beyond.

“What’s he singing?” Song Qingfeng and the others were baffled by the Cantonese song.

“I don’t understand one word of it!” Xu Luo said.

“The words sound like, ‘Iron pot… With tears in eyes… shout repair pots’?” Ruan Ning tried to copy the sounds of the words.

[TL Note: these are the meanings of the Cantonese lyrics when they are interpreted in Mandarin.]

Song Qingfeng was at a loss for words.

Liu Ningyun had deep doubts about Mr. Fang’s taste in music.

Huangpu Tao was embarrassed. “I didn’t know that Mr. Fang liked these down-to-earth folk songs…”

Fang Qi was at a loss for words.

Then, he said contemptuously, “Damn it! You’ve never heard of Wong Ka Kui’s songs!”

[TL Note: Wong Ka Kui, was a Hong Kong musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. He rose to prominence as lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, main songwriter, and founder of the rock band Beyond in a large majority of Asian countries.]

“Who’s Wong Ka Kui?” they asked simultaneously.

Mr. Fang decided to ignore them since they knew nothing.

At this moment, he received a message on QQ.

Gongyi Xiu, “Mr. Fang, some people killed and cussed at me in your game. Isn’t anyone managing this!”

Gongsun Chui sent an angry face emoji with the following words. [I only killed two to three monsters but have been killed five to six times by other players! Don’t you have rules against this behavior?!]

“Rules?” There was no law here, but Fang Qi had to admit that it was a cruel fate for a newbie. So, he asked in a milder tone, [Why did they kill you, two newbies? Did you cuss at them?]

Gongsun Chui: [I’m not that kind of person!]

Fang Qi: [You didn’t?]

Gongsun Chui: [Of course not!]

Fang Qi: [Did you encounter someone named ‘Three Season Rice’?]

[TL Note: This is an infamous WoW player in China who killed a lot of newbies]

Gongsun Chui: [Who’s Three Season Rice?]

Fang Qi: [Someone who likes to kill low-level players.]

Gongsun Chui: [No!]

He thought to himself, Are there such people in the world who wait and kill the low-level players? When I level up in the future, I’ll…

Fang Qi: [Here’s my suggestion. It seems that the Royal Clan Guild is big in your area, and you can join it. With their protection, I’m sure no one dares to kill you.]

Gongsun Chui: [Royal Clan Guild? What Royal Clan Guild???]

Fang Qi: [Dajin’s Royal Family’s guild.]

Gongsun Chui: [What did you say??!!]

Fang Qi: [Oh. I forgot that you’re from Yundian Upper Realm… They just beat you? It doesn’t seem right…]

Gongsun Chui was enraged.

Damn it! What does this guy mean by ‘it doesn’t seem right’?!

By his side, Gongyi Xiu was lying on the ground and couldn’t get up. “What did the shop owner say?”

Gongsun Chui gritted his teeth and said in fury, “This kid told us to join the Dajin Royal Clan Guild! With its protection, we won’t be killed!”

“Did this guy explode?” Fang Qi immediately sent a follow-up message. [Do you want me to recommend a guild from the Morning Star Sea Realm to you? If not, you can join our Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild.]

Gongsun Chui asked, “Brother Gongyi, what do we do now?”

“…”

How do I know?!

Gongsun Chui said with a dark expression, “Maybe we should put the Legend of Mir 2 aside and play other games first?”

Gongyi Xiu narrowed his eyes. He had discovered that even if he had a lot of people with him, he couldn’t establish a force in the world of the Legend of Mir 2. After all, he was lower than level 10; how could he battle with other players?

If I’m right, the places that are producing skill books and treasures have probably been all taken by these major forces. Gongyi Xiu thought for a while and knew that if they didn’t seek protection from the big forces, they could never prosper in this virtual world, let alone building a new cultivator army.

Then, the most that they could get from this game was some left-overs.

With a treasure mountain standing before him, he could do nothing but look at it; this wasn’t a situation he liked.

“It’s just a virtual guild! It’s no big deal if we join this guild! After all, they won’t be able to interfere with our business in Yundian Upper Realm, right? They won’t be able to force us to do anything with our positions, right?” Gongyi Xiu made the decision.

“While we are in the guild, we might be able to know more information about this shop!” A clever light flashed across Gongyi Xiu’s eyes.

“Maybe we can talk with him about other issues…”

Soon, Fang Qi received their reply. [We must warn you that we can’t be bounded and restrained by rules. If your guild has lots of rules, we will quit at any time! Besides, with our background, Mr. Fang, do you have any special benefits for us after we join your guild?]

Fang Qi: [Join or get out.]

Special benefits? What a joke! Mr. Fang thought to himself.

The two guys were stunned and were at a loss for words.

…

– Meanwhile in the Taixi Faction –

“Gongyi Xiu and Gongsun Chui went to make trouble in that shop in Jiuhua personally?” The white-robed old man withdrew the fishing pole and asked mildly.

“Yes, Master.” A white-robed disciple stood behind him deferentially; he had just delivered the intelligence report. “With these two men’s abilities, I’m afraid that the force is now in ruins.”

“If those two men join hands, few people are their match…” The white-robed old man smiled. “However, that force must have a special ability. Otherwise, it couldn’t have done what it has done. The two parties might hurt each other and both get injured.

“Master, you seem to have a high opinion of that force which came out of nowhere,” the disciple said, “In my opinion, it’s just a small frog looking up at the sky from the bottom of a well.”

The old man laughed. “Then, it’s good to show them how big the sky is.”

…

Meanwhile, Gongsun Chui got up from the ground after being killed again. Shaking with fury, he exited the game. “I… quit!”

“Forget it! Let’s play the Legend of Sword and Fairy first. Brother Gongsun, calm down!” Gongyi Xiu sent Fang Qi a message with a cold expression, [Please let us think over the decision of joining the guild.]

He thought, I’ll let this kid worry and be anxious for a while, and we can join the guild in a couple of days.
