Chapter 92: The Otherworlders Learning to Use Bullet Comments

For them, having never even witnessed a live broadcast, the concept of bullet comments was naturally beyond comprehension.

"These bullet comments are actually quite simple to operate," An Cheng, who had arrived early, explained to Wang Kuan by his side, completely unaware that he, the young city lord, had unconsciously begun acting as a commentator. "You just use a communication jade, and it uploads effortlessly. It is basically the same as sending a message with one normally."

"What new contraption is this?!" Although Xiao Yulü had not arrived late, he had yet to encounter such advanced matters, so he hurriedly leaned in and asked.

"Bullet comments! Bullet comments!" An Cheng demonstrated as he spoke. "Don't say it, it is actually quite amusing. Once you send it out, the people in both shops can see it."

With that, he transmitted the line: "The Shushan Sect is truly grand."

The few of them indeed watched as the words "The Shushan Sect is truly grand" appeared across the massive screen. "Furthermore, the comments sent are anonymous. As long as you do not hurl insults, no one cares what you choose to write."

"Hmph! No matter how grand, it is but a falsehood!" Old Man Silver Dragon crossed his arms in a display of disdain. An architectural structure inside a virtual game, no matter how realistically constructed, was merely a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water.

"Regarding that..." An Cheng murmured in a low voice, "If spells can be manifested, why can't a floating mountain be replicated...?"

An Cheng was still thinking that if this could be researched and understood, he might turn Jiuhua City into a floating city in the future! How could it be considered false!

"..." Old Man Silver Dragon dropped to his knees on the spot. Even this could be achieved?!

If this truly could be researched and mastered, wouldn't every sect be flying in the heavens hereafter?!

Old Man Silver Dragon quietly dispatched a line right then and there: "The Shushan Sect is truly awesome." He glanced to his left and right; indeed, no one knew it had originated from him.

Of course, what they did not know was that if they could actually research and master the Power of Pangu, they would likely have become gods long ago, so why would they bother building a floating city.

Though the system had created this feature, it was not meant for their research at all.

"To think it has such a function. Does sending a bullet comment cost no money?" Behind Su Tianji, the round-faced female disciple, Yuexin, seemed eager to try, yet she refrained from acting; after all, everything in this shop was exceedingly expensive.

"There is no need for that," An Cheng explained. "It is just sending a line of text, what money could they possibly charge?"

"It actually costs nothing?!" The two female disciples immediately leaped for joy, each sending one out.

However, as people of another world who had not been baptized by the grand explosion of internet information, their thoughts were still relatively simple; the bullet comments they sent at this time were conventional and proper, far from being twisted into various memes like before Fang Qi crossed over.

"There is even this way to play?" Su Tianji tried it as well, sending a line: "Ling'er is truly adorable."

Sure enough, she saw the line "Ling'er is truly adorable" appear on the screen.

Only she did not expect that once her line was sent, it would immediately cause a massive wave of players to follow suit.

"Wow! I also think Ling'er is so adorable!"

"So there are kindred spirits here as well!"

"I love Ling'er the most!"

"I like Ling'er too!"

"Owner, hurry up and rescue Ling'er! If you don't save her soon, I'm going to smash the shop!"

"..."

Su Tianji looked at the row upon row of bullet comments following her own on the screen, surprised that so many people agreed with her perspective. "Oh... it seems quite amusing?"

"Is it truly free?" Xiao Yulü hurriedly asked as well.

"Do you see us being charged for what we sent?" An Cheng curled his lip.

"Then I shall send one too!" Xiao Yulü hastily took out his communication jade, thinking that even if this shop refused to host him, at least the bullet comments were free, were they not?

Immediately afterward, he followed An Cheng’s instructions and sent a bullet comment out via his communication jade.

But the next moment, he discovered...

"Why is there no reaction?!" Xiao Yulü stared dumbfounded at the completely unresponsive large screen, hurriedly sending another.

Still no reaction!

Xiao Yulü sent several in a row, only to find in the end that all the messages were like stones sinking into the ocean, yielding no response whatsoever!

"!!??"

"Why can't I send anything?!" Xiao Yulü stamped his feet in frustration.

Su Tianji: "..."

An Cheng: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Su Tianji spoke up, "You had better just watch obediently."

An Cheng broke out into a cold sweat; thankfully, the one blacklisted was not himself.

"Let's go buy some Häagen-Dazs to eat," at that moment, the round-faced female disciple behind Su Tianji suggested.

"Mhm, mhm!" The tall female disciple, Fenghua, nodded repeatedly. Recalling the delicious taste from yesterday, it was simply too wonderful. Since they had come again today, they ought to partake in it once more!

"Wait! What is Häagen-Dazs?" Xiao Yulü suddenly had an ill premonition in his heart.

"It is just a type of extraordinarily delicious food," the two female disciples returned shortly, even bringing a carton for Su Tianji.

The three of them had no intention of logging onto the computers just yet; they ate with relish while watching the live broadcast on the large screen.

Su Tianji was relatively composed, but seeing the entranced expressions of Fenghua and Yuexin as they ate the Häagen-Dazs, Xiao Yulü could not help but lick his lips. "What exactly does it taste like? To be this delicious?"

"Sister Fenghua, could you let me have a taste too?" Although he could not catch any aroma, seeing the two of them eat with expressions as if they were about to swallow their own tongues, Xiao Yulü instantly could not contain himself.

"No!" Fenghua immediately pulled the Häagen-Dazs to one side, saying coldly, "Men and women should maintain proper distance. How can I give you what I am eating?"

Xiao Yulü hurriedly turned his sorrowful face toward Yuexin.

"No, the owner rules that it cannot be given to others to eat, otherwise one will be permanently barred from service!"

Xiao Yulü then looked toward Su Tianji.

Su Tianji said nothing at all, merely stepping forward to watch the live broadcast.

Xiao Yulü wished to weep but had no tears: "..."

An Cheng, Old Man Silver Dragon, and the others watched Xiao Yulü's frantic expression from the side, a chill running through their hearts. "Heavens, thankfully I have never caused trouble in this shop..."

An Cheng reminded him, "Brother Xiao, although you cannot eat Häagen-Dazs, we can still watch the owner play. Let's sit here and watch; the owner's gameplay is quite entertaining."

"You are right!" Xiao Yulü took a deep breath and said, "This young master shall simply watch the live broadcast here! What can he possibly do to me?!"

Xiao Yulü continued to stand there, watching others play games, eat Häagen-Dazs, and send bullet comments.

With the introduction of the live broadcast and bullet comments, the spoken discussions within the cybercafe actually decreased, given that the bullet comments could be seen by players in both shops simultaneously.

While taking the time to eat her Häagen-Dazs, Su Tianji was also watching Fang Qi's broadcast, though it was obvious she had absolutely no idea where Fang Qi's game progress stood.

But soon enough, she noticed someone on the bullet comments asking: "Where has the owner played up to?"

Swiftly, someone replied: "He has ascended the Shushan Sect, he is about to rescue Ling'er any moment now!"

Then another person responded: "Just thinking about it makes me so excited!"

Su Tianji looked at the large screen in astonishment. "It can even work like this?!"

Behind her, Old Man Silver Dragon was also stunned. "This old man merely sent a bullet comment on a whim to ask, and someone actually replied instantly?"

At this time, nearly half of the over one hundred people in the cybercafe were watching, and since the current players were rather enthusiastic, they naturally replied within seconds.

Yet right at that moment, Old Man Silver Dragon and the others heard cries of surprise once more: "The Wine God Incantation?!"

Immediately following the bursts of discussion around them, they instantly saw rows of bullet comments flood across the screen:

"Wine Sword Immortal is actually going to teach Xiaoyao the God of Wine Spell?!"

"Just hearing the name makes it feel incredibly powerful!"

"Everything Wine Sword Immortal has taught so far has been an absolute supreme technique!"

"Stop sending bullet comments! The lesson is about to start!"

Every single person watching instantly sat up straight in solemn anticipation!
