Chapter 633: The Approaching Elf Clan and... the Sorrow of the Assassin

"‘Animus’? And what else... ‘Pieces of Eden’?" Elder Xiewei, who had clearly never played the game, looked completely bewildered from the start. "Are you saying... you were inside a strange mystic realm, and inside that mystic realm, there was yet another mystic realm?"

"Yes! This mystic realm is so interesting. I've already cultivated to the second mystic realm, and you can even drive tanks and fire machine guns inside... uh... they're things just like dwarf magic guns and siege cannons," Sera explained, as if enumerating her family treasures.

"This mystic realm... actually contains so many things?" As an Elven elder who possessed extremely deep research into cultivation mystic realms, Elder Xiewei knew very well that the more complex a mystic realm was, the harder it was to make it realistic and natural, and wanting to achieve both required a superlative level of attainment far exceeding ordinary people.

Clearly, the Elves possessed no small attainment in this aspect, but from what she heard, this "Assassin's Creed" that Sera described seemed to be even more excellent than the "Dulan Workshop."

"Of course." Looking at Elder Xiewei's astonished expression, Sera could not help but feel a burst of secret delight. "It's not just that; there is also something called 'Eagle Vision' in this mystic realm, which is so useful! Oh right, and the Leap of Faith."

Under Sera's eloquent and enthusiastic narration, Elder Xiewei finally formed a rough concept: "Are you saying this Master Altaïr utilized Eagle Vision to see through the illusion created by the Mentor using the Piece of Eden, successfully defeated the Mentor, and at the same time sealed away the Piece of Eden that possessed immense power, ensuring that even he himself could not obtain the power within?"

"Yes! In 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood', I heard that this Master did not covet the power of the Brotherhood at that time, but went to other countries instead, guiding the Brotherhoods of other nations to liberate themselves and spread the meaning of the Creed." Speaking of this, Sera clasped her hands to her chest, saying with a bit of excitement and emotion, "He truly is an admirable person."

"He is indeed a master worthy of respect." Elder Xiewei nodded, saying with some marvel, "Then what happened afterward?"

"...The afterward hasn't been released yet!" Sera said with a bit of anger. "One can only hear a few bits and pieces from the era of Master Ezio. That boss should really release it sooner."

Then she became depressed again: "But it's useless even if it's released, I haven't had any free time to go to Canglan City recently."

A bout of silent sulking.

Seeing her in this state, Elder Xiewei could not help but burst into laughter with a 'puchi' sound: "After all this fuss, it turns out you just want to beg me to let you go, so you can go over to the humans' side to play for a few more days, right?"

"Ah—!" Sera's pretty face flushed red. How was she exposed all of a sudden!

From Sera's words, Elder Xiewei seemed to discern that this strange mystic realm was almost entirely devoid of flaws.

One must know that even the "Dulan Workshop" and several of the largest alchemy workshops across the entire continent had to publicly admit that their cultivation mystic realms could not avoid flaws, and the Elves were no exception.

"Has the alchemy craftsmanship of these humans on the continent already reached such a high level?" Elder Xiewei was somewhat surprised. She originally thought the mystic realms made by the "Dulan Workshop" were already quite epoch-making, but who would have thought this "Assassin's Creed" seemed to be even more formidable?

Of course, as a game from a major company notorious for bugs, having no bugs was something Boss Fang felt quite helpless about as well.

For Elder Xiewei, just one "Dulan Workshop" right now was almost giving her a pounding headache, let all alone this "Assassin's Creed." If there truly came a day when these new cultivation mystic realms poured toward the Elves all at once...

She feared they would indeed be unable to resist.

Elder Xiewei gave a slight, bitter smile: "It seems it is also time to take these children out to walk around more, otherwise we will truly fall behind the times."

"Ah!" Hearing this, Sera instantly cried out in pleasant surprise, "That's wonderful! When the time comes, let's play multiplayer online together!"

"Hmm? Multiplayer online?" What kind of new thing was this again?

Elder Xiewei was pulled aside on the spot to have how this multiplayer online was played explained to her.

"This is very simple. We can try multiplayer missions, which means we form a small squad to go assassinate. First, let's allocate..."

"Oh..."

"Oh..."

Elder Xiewei was quickly spun right round, her face full of daze.

...

And at this time, Fang Qi was in the shop, taking a look at the system panel while he was at it.

Because he discovered that his permissions had been elevated once again.

At this moment, it could already be seen that his permission level was Level 8.

Permission Level LV8: Possesses the right to decide the release time of movies, games, etc.; grand screen live broadcast permission; shop interior environment arrangement permission...

After a series of permissions he already possessed previously, Fang Qi actually discovered a new line: Shop New Product Unlock Right LV1

System Store Unlock LV1

With the new permissions, apart from the items that had already been unlocked long ago, there were temporarily only two items that could be unlocked: one was Capuccino, and the other was Latte Coffee.

They respectively required the consumption of 1 million system crystals and 1.2 million system crystals; after activation, the production of each portion would require the consumption of a small amount of crystals.

The selling prices were 20 and 24 crystals respectively.

Of course, the Sprite released in the past could naturally be unlocked anew, and the selling price remained unchanged.

Over at the old shop, crystals had clearly accumulated in no small amount; the system's crystals had already grown to over fifty million, and this was even the amount remaining after the crystal consumption generated by the new shop's expansion and the new games and movies.

As the people at the new shop began to increase, the number of magic crystals was likewise growing, and had now reached over one million crystals. It was worth mentioning that Fang Qi took note that Fang Qi's own exchange ratio for magic crystals to crystals was roughly around 1:8.

But in reality, its value was roughly around 1:10. On this continent, there were likewise minerals similar to crystals, but because the ordinary varieties of this type of mineral had more impurities than ordinary magic crystals, a lot of their value was consumed in refining and eliminating the impurities during absorption, whereas the system naturally had no such concerns in this regard.

What the system store unlocked were some items; it was currently at Level LV1, and the items were restricted to Fang Qi's own use.

Being only Level LV1, there were not many items, just the out-of-print Boss brand cigarettes that Fang Qi had used before.

However... Boss Fang did not have much money on hand right now.

Paying out of his own pocket previously to expand the scale of the competitive tournament... as a player who had galloped across this arena before crossing over, spending a bit more money was naturally beyond reproach.

Add to that purchasing a shop location close to the city center upon arriving on this continent, he clearly did not have much left, so as for the items in the system store, Boss Fang would not consider them for the time being.

However, regarding unlocking new products in the shop, Boss Fang felt he could try unlocking one first.

After all, it used the money within the system.

Of course, although there was quite a lot of money within the system, it still could not be used recklessly; after all, he had to reserve energy to activate the shop's defenses.

Therefore, one was enough.

"Let's bring out... Capuccino first then..." Boss Fang muttered to himself.

...

And at this time, Luther had already returned from the Elven territory.

Within the temple, his countenance was extremely icy: "Just what is going on?! A mere few elves, just how did they manage to do it?!"

"May Your Excellency appease your anger!" a knight officer said beside him.

"And who exactly is that 'Altaïr'?! Where did such an assassin come from?! How is it I've never even heard of him before?" Luther flipped the teacup on the table over with a sweep of his hand. "Go investigate for me!"

"Yes!"

"In addition..." He called out to stop that knight officer again, "Bring out those assassins captured last time. I want to interrogate them under severe torture! I refuse to believe they won't speak!"
