Chapter 721: "Master" Lecture

While players in the new shop were making various early preparations for the upcoming "Outlast" and their minds were filled with brilliant tactics,

evening at Pigeon Square brought a cool, gentle breeze, and for many in the City of Blue Ripple, after finishing dinner, coming here for a walk, feeding the pigeons, or sitting in Pigeon Square to watch the free magical projections was an excellent choice.

Beside the square, one or two troubadours could occasionally be seen playing harps and chanting ancient poems from unknown origins, with a few coins occasionally clinking as they dropped into the standing baskets in front of them, to which they would return a kind smile.

A few youngsters chasing and playing with each other seemed a bit tired, and amidst laughter and cheerful voices, they sat down on a bench in the square.

Two boys and one girl, they were precisely the three youths who frequently played games in Boss Fang's shop.

Then, with some anticipation, they looked toward the huge and clear projection on the square.

"What is today's projection content?"

"I know!" the blonde youth, Ron, spoke up, "Of course it's the most popular and trendy projection program right now, 'The Mysteries of the Mystic Realms'!"

"The Mysteries of the Mystic Realms" was a professional and academic special program with the theme of the rising and relatively new industry of "cultivation mystic realms."

With the convenience of having cultivation mystic realms "tailor-made for oneself," in fact, both newcomers and veterans were highly willing to join these "Mystic Realm Workshops."

Similarly, this "Mysteries of the Mystic Realms" would also frequently gather information about newly released mystic realms and discuss new topics, so these young boys and girls loved it very much as well.

"We seem to have arrived late!" Ron remarked, "It seems to have started a while ago?"

"No, I think today's 'Mysteries of the Mystic Realms' must have been moved forward."

...

"Let me introduce again." Visible within the magical projection was an extremely tidy and exquisitely decorated stage, where a male host in a black formal suit sat opposite three people arranged outwards in a fan-shaped seating order, the outermost being a mage wearing a white magic robe, a pointed hat, and possessing white hair and a beard.

"This is Master Os, a specially appointed consultant of the 'Crystal Stone Workshop'—which holds the greatest influence and authority in the 'Mystic Realm Workshop' industry in recent years and is as famous as the 'Duran Workshop'—and a top-tier mentor of the Muyun Mystic Realm Workshop Academy!"

The mage in the white magic robe stood up and waved toward the audience in the direction outside the magical projection.

"So amazing...!" The few youths instantly widened their eyes as they looked at this master.

Next was another middle-aged mage beside him, wearing a greyish-black robe with a reagent bottle embroidered on his chest.

"This is Master Laiwu, an honorary consultant of the World Alchemy Association, who has achieved extremely high technical accomplishments in the field of alchemy...!"

At this moment, the mercenary Crete was also watching this magical projection program, while a slightly plump, middle-aged clergyman wearing a long red robe sat at the innermost position among the three, "Isn't that Peebo...? His Excellency Peebo from the Judgment Divine Temple?"

"What are they talking about...?" Another mercenary beside him had clearly just arrived and asked curiously.

"Why does it feel like they are discussing this 'Blizzard Workshop'?" Crete spoke after listening for a moment, "Has 'World of Warcraft' spread this far already...?"

"Regarding this... those things His Excellency Peebo mentioned earlier, like how watching this magical projection of 'World of Warcraft' leads to slacking off at work, I won't even mention those types of things, as they are all old platitudes." Within the magical projection, the mage in the white magic robe spoke up first while gesturing with his hands, "Our usage of these mystic realms is wholeheartedly developing toward how to better and more rapidly improve our strength, whereas in this 'World of Warcraft' mystic realm recently brought over from the 'Eastern Continent,' it has degenerated into a form of entertainment, such as looking at scenery, or even traveling all over the places within that world, and it has even given rise to things like... the Scenery Faction and the Lore Faction! Becoming addicted to it and completely neglecting their proper duties."

At this moment, a group of elves who were currently looking at scenery all over World of Warcraft and the knights of the Golden Gryphon Knight Order who were focusing on discovering the lore of the "Of Love and Family" quest sneezed repeatedly.

"Huh?" an elf looked around in bewilderment, "Who is talking about us?"

"Just... some research I have done in recent years shows that among one hundred thousand people who indulge in these entertainment activities, ninety-nine percent achieve almost nothing in their entire lives." The master named Os spoke, "And the achievements of the remaining one percent are also much lower than what they originally anticipated."

The mage in the full white magic robe gestured, "And clearly, the mystic realms of the Eastern Continent's workshops are already developing in this improper direction, and at the same time, they also want to bring this improper trend to us. I think our people should thoroughly increase their vigilance."

Master Os spoke with righteous severity.

The male host nodded and looked down at the material in his hand, "Interestingly enough, another master has also done similar research before, investigating a total of fifty thousand people who usually have a lot of contact with entertainment activities while also possessing the talent of a warrior or a mage, and found that among these fifty thousand people, those who ultimately achieved something numbered only a mere few hundred, which can be said to be extremely close to the research done by Master Os."

"The issue Master Os mentioned is indeed very serious." Beside him, the brown-curly-haired Master Laiwu, who wore an alchemist's robe, spoke with a smile, "However, I think there is an even more serious problem, which exists in 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' at this proxy shop called the Origin Internet Club. I wonder if you gentlemen have heard of this mystic realm."

The other few people were instantly completely baffled, as it was clearly not as famous as "World of Warcraft" in their region.

"There is a line in it... 'My fate is determined by me, not by Heaven.' I believe this will seriously mislead the thoughts of the people who enter this mystic realm to cultivate, especially since this mystic realm is a comprehensive one that spans from apprentices to the ninth tier. It is hard to imagine what those apprentice children will look like, becoming blindly arrogant, after being instilled with this kind of thinking." Master Laiwu spoke with an amused and sarcastic smile, "Furthermore, I only received news yesterday that in their recent 'The Avengers,' they even portrayed a god as an evil, ridiculous clown. This is simply blasphemy!"

"Most importantly, this has absolutely no academic basis whatsoever. As everyone knows, when we create mystic realms, we must have academic reliance, because mystic realms are used for cultivation. We absolutely cannot allow a mystic realm to create erroneous guidance for the people who enter it to cultivate!"
