[TL Note: the plain translation of the Matrix into Chinese is Hackers’ Empire. Therefore, it would cause some confusion in this section.]
“Hackers?”
“Hackers?!” In the Jiuhua City Shop, people were bustling in the early morning. Although the shop only opened just now, it was already busy.
Upon entering the shop, Li Haoran froze when he saw the new movie that was offered.
Others might not understand this word, but as the genius artifact master in Dajin, he clearly knew how they easily won the information war against the alliance of major forces.
They had borrowed the idea and strategy from the Hacker Lester in Grand Theft Auto 5.
Perhaps the strategy was a bit crude and in its infancy, but it was effective against the major forces who had never imagined such a strategy before.
“Is this a movie featuring hackers?!” Li Haoran was a bit curious. Although they had achieved success by using this strategy, what was the use of watching hackers? How could that be applied in the real world?
Could they use the skills learned in the movie to hack into the computers in the internet café?
It was a bit far-fetched and non-realistic.
Then, he glanced at the price and found that it was quite expensive: [38 crystals]
He could afford this price, but he wondered why this movie was as expensive as Shu Mountain.
For the cultivators, the science technology of the ordinary people was child’s play compared with the top-level spiritual treasures in Shu Mountain and the Legend of the Sword and Fairy.
In the Half City Shop.
“How come they are all standing here?”
Unbound King was a young man with shoulder-length white hair; he looked to be about 18 years old.
Behind him was a purple-clothed old man, the Reincarnation King of Half City.
The Reincarnation King had originally been scheming against the internet café, but the old man was smart enough to stop his plans after the big demon was suppressed. Now, he came into the internet café every day to play games.
Upon entering the shop, they saw elders and disciples of the Nanhua Faction standing around the counter.
Mo Xian said, “The shop released a new movie today, and we’re deciding if we should watch it together.”
Yue Yan wondered, “The Matrix? After watching it, can we dump Lester and hack into the security system ourselves to do all kinds of tasks?”
Liu Ningyun asked, “Ms. Ruan, do you guys plan to watch it?”
“I will if the Guild President watches it,” Ruan Ning said, “this old demon never misses a good thing.”
Mo Xian said in disdain. “It’s a good thing for him if we watch it since he can make money from us.”
The Xichi Spiritual Master said, “Is it about hackers? Let’s get online first and ask the cultivators in Jiuhua City in the group chat.”
Mo Xian replied, “I have a feeling that it’s no good…”
After staying in the world of Grand Theft Auto 5 for a while, they found that this world had nothing good except for some excellent spiritual artifacts.
Even though those machines and tools were good, the top-level cultivators could still deal with these heavy machines as long as they understood their mechanisms and the principles behind them.
Unbound King and Reincarnation King exchanged a look. “What’s this thing? Should we watch it…”
Usually Mr. Fang’s Group Tour in QQ was quiet, but whenever a new movie was released, many people would jump out and flood the chat with messages.
Su Tianji: [Sir, are you going to organize a group tour today?]
Nalan Hongwu: [This doesn’t look like a movie for warriors, eh? Should I watch it?]
Mr. Fang: [It’s your decision; it only lasts a bit over 2 hours. Get on board if you want to watch it!]
Su Tianji: [Me!]
Dong Qingli: [Me! Me! Me!]
An Huwei: [Count me in!]
“…” Messages flooded the group chat in QQ.
– In the Half City Shop –
Mo Xian urged, “Let’s go now! Hurry up and get onboard!”
Liu Ningyun was nonplussed, “Senior Sister, didn’t you say that it wouldn’t be good?”
Mo Xian replied, “Don’t you see that they’ve all gone? If we don’t hurry, there won’t be seats available!”
Yue Yan shouted, “Hurry! Hurry!”
“…”
– In the Yuanyang Shop –
“What are they doing?”
“So many people?”
“Shall we go and watch it too?”
Tang Yu said, “What’s happening? Let’s go and have a look…”
Instantly, a large group of people showed up in Mr. Fang’s Qzone.
“Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t watch it?”
“How come you’re all here?”
Fang Qi glanced around and saw the old man Gu Tingyun and Elder Yu, wondering how they got into this group.
While his face twitched, Mr. Fang said, “The tour bus is full; please wait for the next bus!”
The customers who hadn’t gotten onto the tour bus were silent for a while.
Then, Black Demon asked, “Anyone wants to get onboard my tour bus of the Matrix?”
“Me!”
“Count me in!”
Nearby, the Reincarnation King and Unbound King had just gotten online. “How come they all went to watch the movie?”
“Shall we watch it too?”
With a clank, the access to Mr. Fang’s Qzone was closed, and Mr. Fang’s tour bus set off.
It was pitch-black. When the light came, they saw dense rows of data flowing on the pitch-black screen in a complicated manner. Fortunately, the System had the translation function, which enabled the audience to see that it was online communication between two hackers.
“It looks powerful…” Wang Xie whispered.
“I wonder if it’s better than the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3,” Tang Yu whispered since he knew only one game.
The environment around them looked modern, and the buildings were in the style of the end of the 20th Century. In a dim and crude room, a female hacker sat inside while policer officers swarmed up to the door.
“Senior Sister, these guys are so weirdly dressed…” Mu Qing whispered. Both of them had come to watch the movie with Jiang Xiaoyue.
The cultivators of the Yuanyang City Shop didn’t know what they were watching except that it was similar to the opening animation of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3, so they watched for fun.
Having played Grand Theft Auto 5, Mo Xian and the others were familiar with this concept. She said with some disdain, “What good is this? Catching a hacker? It would be more fun to drive a car and lead them on a wild chase.”
The others were also a bit disappointed. For them, modern society was full of people with low-level strengths. After all, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance had mastered the creation of items such as guns, and it seemed meaningless to watch a movie with a similar theme.
It wasn’t exactly meaningless; it was just that its theme overlapped with that of Grand Theft Auto 5.
The cultivators of Yuanyang City also felt that the spiritual artifacts and martial art techniques shown in this move were child’s play.
“This is not nearly as good as the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3…” Zong Wu said, “Senior Gu, what do you think?”
Gu Tingyun nodded. “Indeed, it doesn’t seem as good.”
Elder Yu said, “I can deal with 100 or 1,000 people who are on this strength level. They are indeed lame.”
“Is it a mistake that we came to watch it?”
