The players in the new shop were doing all kinds of preparations for the imminent release of Outlast and dreaming of doing all kinds of fancy plays.

Cool breezes drifted across White Pigeon Square in the evening. Many people living in Canglan City liked to take a walk here after dinner. They would feed the pigeons or sit on the square, watching free Spiritual Spell Visual Projections; those were all good options.

Occasionally, a couple of bards would play harps on the square, singing ancient poems. When people sometimes put coins in the standing baskets before them, they would smile back friendly.

Some young people seemed to have gotten fatigued from frolicking and sat down on the benches on the square while laughing and chatting in joy.

The two boys and one girl were three young people who regularly played games in Mr. Fang’s shop.

At this moment, these three looked toward the huge and clear visual projection on the square expectantly.

“What’s today’s projection about?”

“I know!” The blond and young Ron said, “Of course, it is the ‘Secrets of Mystical Realms’ which is all the rage recently!”

‘Secrets of Mystical Realms’ was a professional and academic program which focused on the new emerging industry – cultivation mystical realms.

The program ‘Secrets of Mystical Realms’ usually showed the latest information about new mystical realms and talked about some new topics, which was why young people loved it so much.

“It seems like we’re late!” Ron said, “Has it been on for a while now?”

“No. I think today’s Secrets of Mystical Realms started earlier.”

...

“Allow me to introduce again.” In the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection was an exquisitely decorated stage. The male host dressed in a black suit sat across from three people, and the person sitting in the outermost chair was a white-haired mage dressed in a white mage’s robe and a pointy hat.

“This is the most influential and authoritative Master Auth, who is a special advisor of the Crystal Workshop, a workshop on the same level as the Dulan Workshop. He is also a special-level instructor of the Duskcloud Mystical Realm Workshop Academy!”

The mage dressed in the white mage’s robe stood up and waved at the audience.

“Awesome...!” These young people stared at this master with widened eyes.

Sitting beside him was a middle-aged mage dressed in a dark grey mage’s robe with a reagent bottle embroidered on the chest.

“This is Master Lywood, an honorable advisor in the Worldly Alchemist Union, and he has achieved extremely high skills in the field of alchemy!”

At this moment, Mercenary Crete was also watching this Spiritual Spell Visual Projection and saw a stout middle-aged priest dressed in a red robe sit in the innermost seat on the screen. “Isn’t that Peable? That Mr. Peable of the Judgement Godly Palace?”

“What are they talking about?” Beside him, another mercenary had just arrived, and he asked curiously.

“I think they seem to be talking about this Blizzard Workshop?” Crete listened for a while and said, “The fame of World of Warcraft has spread so far out already?”

“The things that Mr. Peable has just mentioned such as negligence at work while watching the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection of World of Warcraft are quite common, so I won’t dive into them again.” On the Spiritual Spell Visual Projection, the mage in the white mage’s robe said while gesturing with his hands, “The purpose that we use mystical realms for is to obtain strength in a more efficient way. However, the mystical realm known as World of Warcraft, which was imported recently from the ‘East Continent’, has become a piece of entertainment. For example, people view the scenery and even tour all over the world in the realm. They have become fans of natural scenery and fans of stories! They are obsessed with the game and have neglected their work.”

At this moment, the elves who were enjoying the scenery in World of Warcraft and the knights of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion who were engrossed in the plot of the quest ‘Of Love and Family’ sneezed repeatedly.

“Huh?” One elf glanced around in confusion. “Who’s talking about us?”

“According to the research that I’ve done in recent years, 99 percent of the people obsessed in entertainment activities can achieve nothing in their lives,” the master named Auth said, “The remaining one percent could only obtain much fewer achievements than they were supposed to have.”

The mage dressed in the white mage’s robe gestured and said, “Obviously, the mystical realms from the East Continent workshops are going in this improper direction and are trying to influence our people with this bad style. I think our people must be wary of it,” Master Auth said with great dignity.

The male host nodded and lowered his eyes to glance at the paper in his hand. “Interestingly, another master has done similar research. About 50,000 people had been surveyed. These people had talents to be warriors or mages but also were frequently engaged in entertainment activities. It was found that only a few hundred out of the 50,000 people have obtained some achievements. The result is very close to that of Master Auth’s research.”

“The issue that Master Auth just mentioned is very severe,” Master Lywood, who had brown curly hair and was dressed in the alchemist’s robe, said with a smile, “But I think we must pay attention to another more severe problem. It exists in the Legend of Sword and Fairy in the agency shop named Origins Internet Club. I wonder if you guys have heard of this mystical realm.”

The others looked baffled, which showed that this mystical realm was obviously not as famous as World of Warcraft.

“In this mystical realm... they say ‘I Control My Destiny and Not the Heavens’. I think it will severely mislead the people who cultivate in this mystical realm. More importantly, this mystical realm is a comprehensive one which consists of skills for people from beginners to level 9 masters, which is why I’m afraid that the young people will turn blindly arrogant after learning this idea.” Master Lywood said with a sarcastic smile, “Besides, I got the news yesterday that they made a god into an evil and funny clown in ‘The Avengers’ which was newly-released. It’s blasphemy!

“The most important thing is that it has no academic ground to do so. As everyone knows, we must base our mystical realms on academic evidence since we use the mystical realms for cultivation. We can’t allow these mystical realms to mislead people who enter them for cultivation!”
