Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

(Cover by Darkstar Dust)

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

First off, I would like to point out that this is a fannovel of a popular (and loved by myself) military sci-fi shooter called Halo. Most Characters, Settings, Weapons and Locations within this book, are respectfully the property of 343 Industries, I do not own any of the aforementioned, this is a fan project dedicated towards this amazing franchise, not for profit nor publicity.

 I would like to thank Bungie for creating such an amazing game series that has been around for nearly two decades. And thank the wonderful people at 343 Industries who push on hard to uphold the Halo series today. 

I would like to also thank a particular inspiration to me as certain people may be able to infer from the cover and title of this fanbook. Eric Nylund, a great author and one who helped to breathe life into such an amazing franchise, even before Halo CE was released, loved by Halo Fans everywhere. I would also like to thank, and credit Fred Van Lente, who created the four main characters used in this fanbook, Van Lente created the main characters, and I hold no ownership over them. Fred is a great comic and book writer, making amazing works on not just Halo, but numerous Superheroes from the MARVEL franchise.

I would like to thank my parents, for always being there for me. And driving me to where I am today, looking after me, listening to me, and just generally how well you guys do your jobs. You have my eternal gratitude and thanks.

Lastly, I dedicate this to all Halo fans, whether casual or hardcore, like me. Halo has given me my very own "Great Journey" through the years of my life on Xbox, meeting amazing people through the common love of a great franchise of a military sci-fi shooter. Here is to nearly two decades of Halo, and two decades more!


It is the twenty sixth century, humanity has expanded across the stars, culminating in hundreds of worlds that colonists call their homes, safeguarded by the United Earth Government and the United Nations Space Command, having struggled beneath its weight under the insurrection which plagued throughout the colonies.

Chapter 568: even pregnant women need to do more activities.

Mother jiang just happened to walk in. when she saw this scene, she could not help but laugh till she could not close her mouth. "young master is back?"

"yes."

"i'll go upstairs and show it to you!" shi cai ning glanced at gu kuangen. seeing that he was really not in the mood to eat, he stood up and walked upstairs, hoping that his two-part proposal would give him a pleasant surprise.

Dozens of seconds later, shi cai ning walked downstairs in style and handed him seven to eight pieces of paper filled with words.

Gu kuangen frowned. "not only did you write so many proposals, you even cooked some dishes. aren't you going to work a little harder?"

"i'm not as weak as you think." shi cai ning shook his head and smiled faintly. "let's eat and read at the same time!"

He started from the first page. the first proposal was for movies and television. although the format was not professional, after all, shi cai ning's specialty was not in that area, but this idea...

Gu kuangen's eyes lit up. "i've read the novels you mentioned before. they were written by a sci-fi writer in china. however, his copyright was never sold. i think i've heard that li tingshen had approached him before, but he was not tempted by the astronomical copyright fee of five hundred million!"

Shi caining nodded. "i know that this author is not only famous, he has a temper as well. no one was able to persuade him to sell his copyright. i think he was afraid that his work would be destroyed."

"so... your project is not bad, but unfortunately, you can't buy it!" gu kuangen said regretfully.

Shi caining's proposal required him to buy the author's copyright before he could start shooting movies. in recent years, the production of sci-fi movies had cost a lot of money, but the box office sales had been very good.

As for this author, yang tian, he was a wealthy second-generation writer. he was now in his fifties, and he was one of those writers who did not lack money. of course, he was unwilling to sell his copyright.

There were also famous directors abroad who had approached him, hoping that he would sell him the rights to the three novels, "the change of heaven", "the second earth", and "the mutation". however, they still did not receive any approval.

"how would i know if i did not try? such a good novel, it would be his lifelong regret not to make it into a classic, right?" shi cai ning smiled. "let me look for him for you."

Gu kuangen's expression darkened slightly, "how can a pregnant woman like you run around?"

"pregnant women need to exercise more. if i lie in bed 24 hours a day, it would be bad for the child. besides... your current situation is also caused by me..." shi cai ning pursed her lips. ever since gu kuangen had been with her, he had never been a workaholic.

However, the bet with li tingshen meant that he had to work overtime even on weekends...

"silly, i'm willing to take on all of this." gu kuangen smiled faintly. "this movie project... maybe i can really make it happen."

Shi cai ning was extremely surprised. "you really can do it? don't i need to go and investigate?"

Gu kuangen shook his head. there was a faint smile on his lips. he calmly said, "i naturally have a way. just like you said, how can i not try?"

Actually, he had long wanted to buy the copyright for yang tian's novel. however, he had been busy with other industries all these years. after he had just bought the movie company, he had encountered madam bai's mess.

He did not expect that his own thoughts were shockingly similar to shi cai ning's!

He flipped to the second project and saw the words that shi cai ning had written. he could not help but smile lightly and his chopsticks paused. "i was right, you did think of this as well. medicinal diet is becoming more and more popular, and only your grandmother's recipe is the best i've ever tasted. if your grandmother agrees, then we can invest in this project!"



I'm not your slave, you bastard! She's furious! She's furious! I'm furious! WE'RE BREAKING UP! She's laughing like crazy! We'll discuss this in a hundred years She was her ex boyfriend, mother hated down and out, but he praised her as treasure, when Tsenin, you want my heart, my life, I can give you at any time

After hearing what Teacher Wang said, Hong Dali rubbed his chin and said, "This… How about this? You stand in as the Principal first. That should not be a problem, right? If you feel like it, you can announce the time, or you can just take a nap in the communications room. Do whatever you feel like doing. You are single with no dependents, so it doesn't matter where you stay, right?"
Teacher Wang gave it some careful thought. "That's true. Let's do it this way, then. I'll put my old self on the line and temporarily stand in as the Principal. Keke, Young Master Dali is a good man, you will definitely have good fortune."
Are you giving me the good guy card?
Regardless, the New Lanxiang Vocational School had a responsible and good Principal now. Hong Dali was satisfied with the appointment. He snapped his fingers and said, "Come, let's go take a look. Come to think of it, I have not taken a look at the school since construction started."
It was a procession with a group of people, a few cars, followed by Big Turtle the Black Tortoise and ending with more than a hundred security officers. They made for quite a majestic sight on the way, much like a Head of State surveying his country. Soon, they reached the location of the school.
Hong Weiguo found a rather good location for the New Lanxiang Vocational School that Hong Dali wanted to build. It had the outer area of Tianjing Mountain at its rear and covered a land area of tens of thousands square meters. The workers worked fervently and had already completed a few of the main buildings. The place was growing in size. The outer circumference was made of a very long wall, with canteens and dormitories further in.
To be honest, Hong Dali's father had been more than generous. This school was about as grand as Tianjing College where Hong Dali was currently studying. However, Hong Dali still felt that it was not enough.
It was his own land, after all, why should he not build it as majestic as he wanted?
Hong Dali stretched out his hand and touched his chin. He asked Ling Xiaoyi, "Xiaoyi, how much have we spent on this school to date?"
Ling Xiaoyi replied, "Young Master, we have only got the foundations and the basic structures of the various buildings ready. It's just the teaching building that's progressing quicker than the rest. To date, we have spent about four million yuan. We spent around 800,000 on the surrounding wall and have not actually started on the rest yet.
In actual fact, the most expensive things in building construction were firstly the land, and secondly the interior. The building itself was not that costly.
If it were a normal person, the most important thing would be to conserve capital. Hong Dali, however, possessed the Great Prodigal System, and saving on capital was the last thing he wanted to do. He still had a Main Mission to complete. If he failed, it would mean ten points off his sexual capability. That would be terrible. Heaven knew if it would still increase after it got taken off. Hong Dali shook his head decisively and said, "Not enough, it's still not enough!"
Tang Muxin, who still had the kitten in her arms, asked curiously, "Err. Dali, what is still not enough? This place is already not bad. Our Tianjing College is only about this size, this is still not enough?"
Hong Dali continued shaking his head. "Not enough, it's still not enough! This is our own school. How can it only be of this size? Xiaoyi, ask everyone to stop work first, we need to rebuild. Right, bring me the building plans as well, I need to take a good look at them."
Upon hearing what Hong Dali said, Teacher Wang twisted his body and asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master Dali, Don't tell me you intend to demolish and rebuild the entire school? That would waste a lot of money…"
Hong Dali scratched his head and said, "Yes. If I want to do it, it must be the best. I've even got the advertisement slogan for New Lanxiang ready. Learning how to flirt… Ah no. Learning technical skills, come to New Lanxiang. Eight thousand stainless steel beds, three thousand skilled female juniors!"
Teacher Wang was so shocked by Hong Dali's words that he fell on the floor on his bottom. He said dejectedly, "This is your slogan for the technical school? It's hopeless, hopeless!"
Hrm, eight thousand stainless steel beds, three thousand skilled female juniors…
That did sound rather improper…
Teacher Wang was a frugal man. He pointed at Hong Dali and shouted angrily, "What do you think you are doing, aren't you being a prodigal son now?" Then he pounded the floor and cried out, "I must have been out of my mind. How could I have thought of approaching a prodigal son like you… You have never wanted to set up a proper school from the very start. All you want to do is waste some money since you have way too much of it!"
It was understandable that he would behave as such. Almost five million had been spent on the school so far, and Hong Dali was going to abandon it on a whim. No one would be able to take it. It was especially hard for Teacher Wang as he was of an older, more conservative generation. He was an intellectual, and the greatest amount of money he had ever seen was probably less than tens of thousands. He was probably in relatively good health if Hong Dali's flagrant disregard for millions of dollars did not give him a heart attack.
Hong Dali did not get angry. He said passionately, "Teacher Wang, look, I'm sincere about setting up a school so that the children who come from afar have a good place to learn. I have already decreed that they will have free food and lodgings, as well as fees. I will even help them find jobs in the future. This school has to be well planned! Appearances, correct? Don't worry yourself over this."
Hong Dali said this sincerely. Teacher Wang looked up at him while seated on the ground. "You will really do that? You are not setting up a school just so you can burn more money?"
Hong Dali nodded vigorously. "Of course. I might be a prodigal son, but I'm still a reliable person."
Teacher Wang glanced at Big Turtle standing behind the group. Finally, he rose slowly to a standing position and said to Hong Dali, "Don't lie to me. If the kids' future is ruined because of you…" His face and voice grew agitated as he said this. "I will haunt you even if I become a ghost!"
Damn, I had no idea you were versed in the mystic arts.
As they were talking, Ling Xiaoyi came over with an engineer in tow. The engineer had a safety hat on and was in his forties. He recognized that the man before him as Young Master Hong Dali and immediately asked subserviently, "Young Master Dali, you are looking for me?"
Hong Dali chuckled. "Yes, right. This, this school of ours, exactly how big is it? Are there any building plans? Quick, let me see them."
"Building plans? Yes!" As an engineer, building a building without building plans was like eating rice without a bowl. He quickly took out the plans and found a place to spread them out. "This school of ours takes up a huge land area and has a strong surrounding wall. There's one dormitory block now. With four people to a room, it can house five hundred people. There's one teaching block that can hold one thousand six hundred students and one hall that can take up to one thousand students during student meetings with no problems.
"One student dormitory, two stories high. It will be able to feed two thousand people at a time without any issues. Rubberized track and field that's four hundred by three hundred. It's definitely spacious. Four basketball courts and an outdoor swimming pool—the pool is six hundred square meters. You can swim in it in summer, and in winter it can be an ice skating rink…"
To be honest, a school of such a scale would be an elite establishment no matter where it was built. It would definitely be more than enough to be used as a high school. That, however, would depend on who you were talking to. To some, this school was already lavish beyond imagination.
In Hong Dali's eyes, however, it was not lavish enough.
"Yes, not enough. It's still not enough!" Hong Dali rubbed his chin and looked around. This was the plains leading towards the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. There was nothing but emptiness all around. He thought about it and climbed onto Big Turtle's back. He shaded his eyes with his hand and looked around. Then, he took another look and started chuckling. This laugh of his became increasingly strange. The more he laughed, the more it made one feel goosebumps rising all over.
He continued laughing while everyone below almost collapsed from shock. He finally came down and, when he spoke, everyone was stunned. "I suddenly have a great idea. Haha! Throw away all these building plans. Yes, stop the work for the time being. Wait for me to get new building plans."
The engineer was thoroughly stunned. "This… The foundations we spent five or so million building, we are just going to abandon it?"
"Yes, no need to hurry, just leave it there. I will send some professionals over to deal with it." As he spoke, Hong Dali tapped on the communication watch on his wrist. It was a gift from Lin Chuyin, the super technological geek. "Chuyin, hello, is there any sound? Can you hear me?"
Lin Chuyin's voice came in over the watch. "Oh, yes. Is anything the matter?"
"Hmm, yes." Hong Dali grinned while speaking into his watch. "I intend to build a high-end sci-fi town. Are you free now? Can you come here? Oh right, remember to bring your notebook. We'll go all out this time!"
Hehe, now that the System has been upgraded, there are lots of things I can spend on. We might as well create a big sci-fi town. Wahahaha! That will be satisfying!
"Oh. Okay. Ten minutes." Lin Chuyin terminated communications.
Tang Muxin stomped her feet. "Dali, have you gone crazy?! Sci-fi town? School?! You want to build a sci-fi town in New Lanxiang Vocational School? How much will that cost? This is a non-profit school!"
"I know. So what?" Dali asked, questioningly.
This time, everyone was stunned. Really stunned.
Sci-fi town, with Lin Chuyin, the technological geek's aid in planning, this… without a few hundred million, it was unlikely that this would even be doable. Things were getting serious!
It was just as well Tang Muxin was well aware that there was no one on earth currently who could stop Hong Dali from trying to bankrupt his family. She didn't bother asking him and just secretly pulled Ling Xiaoyi over, asking, "Big Sister Xiaoyi, this sci-fi town that Dali wants to build, what kind of returns do you think it will have? It's not a small sum—hundreds of millions in all—and that might not cover it. If there is no profit to be had at all, then…"
This time, Xiaoyi really did not know how to calculate the cost. A sci-fi town was not a small project. She also had no idea what scale Hong Dali wanted it on. In the end, the two of them—three actually, including Li Nianwei—thought for a good while and concluded that they had better wait for Lin Chuyin to arrive before deciding on anything. From the looks of things, it would all depend on how generous Lin Chuyin was.
Soon, the low hum of a motor was heard. Lin Chuyin, with sky-blue colored hair tied in two ponytails, alighted nonchalantly from the car. She went to Hong Dali's side and said, "I'm here. The sci-fi town that you were talking about, what is it?"


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


Ilang sandali lang pagkatapos niyon, sa huli ang dalawa ay naupo na sa hapag kainan ng magkasama na tila kailanman ay walang nagbago sa pagitan nila.
Ngunit, ilang sandali pa, si Quan Ziye ay nakatanggap ng tawag mula kay Mother Quan. Hindi niya ito itinago mula kay Lin Qian. Sa halip, kinausap niya si Mother Quan sa harapan ni Lin Qian, "Oo, lumipat na ako. Para iyon sa kaluwagan ng aking trabaho."
"Ang iyong ama ay malapit nang mag 60. Kahit ano pa man, kailangan mong humanap ng oras upang pumunta para dito."
"Pag uusapan natin iyan pag malapit na," sagot ni Quan Ziye habang ibinababa ang kanyang telepono.
Ilang sandali pa, ang telepono ni Lin Qian naman ang nag umpisang tumunog. Parehong tao rin ang tumatawag dito. Ilang sandaling natigilan si Lin Qian bago nito sinagot ang tawag, "Mom…"
"Ang iyong ama ay malapit ng mag 60. Umuwi ka at bumisita," wika ni Mother Quan ng hindi malaman kung walang bahala o masaya ang tono bago nito ibinaba ang telepono ng hindi naghihintay ng tugon.
Itinabi ni Lin Qian ang telepono at nagpatuloy sa pagkain ng kanyang hapunan na tila ba walang nangyari. Ngunit, nagawa lamang nitong mas analisahin pa ni Quan Ziye ang kanyang ekspresyon.
"Galit ka?"
"Hindi makitid ang utak ko!" sagot ni Lin Qian. "Ikaw at ang iyong ina ay magkaibang tao, alam ko naman iyon."
"Kung ganon kumain ka pa ng marami. Lahat ng ito ay iyong paborito…"
Sa simula gusto ni Lin Qian na sabihin kay Quan Ziye na walang patutunguhan ang ginagawa nito dahil kailanman ay hindi sila magtatagal. Ngunit, si Quan Ziye ay masyadong masaya kung kaya hindi niya maatim na sabihin dito ang mga iyon.
Hindi naman dahil siya ay mapag aalala sa mga mangyayari at hindi pumapayag na ipaglaban ang kanyang kaligayahan. Ngunit, siya ay natatakot na si Quan Ziye ay maiiwang lubusang sugatan. Hindi niya gstong masaktan ang taong pinaka importante para sa kanya.

Pagkatapos ng tanghalian, si Mo Ting at Tangning sa wakas ay nakarating sa isang pribadong isla kung saan nakatira si Qiao Sen at kaagad na ipialiwanag sa pamilya nito kung bakit sila naroon.
Ngunit, direkta silang tinanggihan ng anak na babae ni Qiao Sen at nakiusap na umalis na sila. "Hindi naging madali sa aking ama na pakawalan ang kanyang obsesyon at gumaling sa kanyang sakit. Ayokong siya ay makipag ugnayang muli sa industriya. Pakiramdam ko na ang kanyang kasalukuyang pamumuhay ay mas angkop sa kanya."
"Miss Qiao, alam kong ako ay naghuhukay ng malungkot na nakaraan. Ngunit, hindi mahalaga kung gaano kagaling si Director Qiao sa pagkukunwari na siya ay sumuko na , ang kanyang pinakamalaking pangarap sa buhay ay palagi na makagawa ng isang kahanga hangang sci-fi film. Ito ay isang bagay na pinipilit niya sa loob ng ilang dekada, gaano ba kahirap na isuko ito ngayon?"
"Kung hindi ninyo hahayaang subukan niya iyon, maaari ngang pansamantalang magkunwari siyang masaya upang masiyahan kayo. Ngunit, sa katagalan nito, sa huli ay mapagtatanto niya na hindi niya maaaring pakawalan ang kanyang pag asa at pangarap."
"Umaasa ako na pag iisipan ninyo ito ng mabuti. Ako ay mananatili sa isang hotel na 10 km ang layo mula sa isla. Maghihintay ako para sa inyong katugunan."
Tinanggap ng babae ang business card ni Tangning, ngunit kaagad din itong itinapon sa basurahan.
"Hindi ako nagtitiwala sa mga tao mula sa entertainment industry."
"Pakiusap umalis na kayo at kailanman ay huwag ng bumalik."
Dinadala ng hanging ang coat ni Tangning, dahilan upang manginig ito. Ngunit, ang lahat ay inaasahan na ni Tangning.
Hinila ni Mo Ting si Tangning sa kanyang mga yakap at hinalikan ito sa noo, "Halika na. maghihintay na lamang tayo sa hotel. Napakalamig dito."
"Ok lang. Gusto kong tumayo rito ng ilang sandali," wika ni Tangning. "Yamang ako ay nandito na, hindi ako maaaring umuwi ng walang dala. Nakikiramay ako sa pamilya ni Director Qiao, kaya alam ko na kailangan kong ipakita sa kanila ang aking katayuan."
Hindi an nagsalita pa siMo Ting habang pinaandar ang kanyang sasakyan upang gawing panangga ito sa hangin para kay Tangning.
Nang mga sandaling iyon, si Mo Ting ang pinakamatatag na bahagi ng ng kanyang taga suporta.
Tulad nito, sa huli ang mag asawa ay tumayo sa dalampasigan hanggang takipsilim. Mula sa hitsura nito, ang kabilang panig ay hindi pa rin nagbabago ng kanilang isip.
"Pumasok ka na sa sasakyan, kung hindi, baka ka magkasipon."
Pagkaraang tumayo sa hanging dagat sa loob ng ilang oras, alam ni Tangning na lampas na ito sa limitasyon ni Mo Ting. Alam din niya na hindi niya maaaring tratuhin ang kanyang katawan ng ganito na lamang. Ngunit, sa mga oras na ito, ang gate na bakal ng may ari ay bumukas at ang anak na babae ni Qiao Sen ay nag aatubiling nagsalita sa mag asawa, "Nais kayong anyayahan ng aking ama na pumasok."
Humarap si Tangning at tumingin kay Mo Ting bago ito sumunod kay Miss Qiao sa loob ng villa.
Nang mga sandaling iyon, si Qiao Sen ay abala sa pangingisda. Mas magandang mamgisda sa gabi dahil ang pangkat ng isada ay pumupunta sa ibabaw upang kumain sa mga oras na ito.
"Director Qiao," pagbati ni Tangning ng magalang.
"Kaya pala ito ang kilalang CEO ng Hai Rui, si Mo Ting ang naparito upang makausap ako," ngumiti si Qiao Sen kay Mo Ting habang patuloy ito sa pamimingwit. Halata naman, na hindi niya kilala si Tangning. "Paanong nangyari na ang Hai Rui ay nagpapakita ng interes sa isang matandang lalake na tulad ko?"
"Hindi kami naparito dahil sa Hai Rui. Ito ang aking asawa," pagpapakilala ni Mo Ting.
Sinulyapan ni Qiao Sen si Tangning; isang mabilis na sulyap lamang, "President Mo, huwag mong sabihin sa akin na ang iyong asawa ang gusto na ako ay gumawa ng isang pagbabalik, siya nga ba?"
"Alam kong pangarap mong makagawa ng isang blockbuster sci-fi film; isang sci-fi film na hindi malilimutan ng lahat.
"Kasama ka?" tumingin si Qiao Sen kay Tangning ng may pagdududa. "Gusto mong mamuhunan sa aking pelikula?"
"Gusto kong lumahok sa produksyong ito," direktang sagot ni Tangning.
"Masyadong mataas ang tingin mo sa iyong sarili…"
"Alam ko na sa mga mata ni Director Qiao, isa lamang akong taong may pera ngunit walang magawa. Ngunit, umaaasa ako na maaari kang umupo at panoorin ang mga pelikulang ginawa ko. Kung patuloy mo akong kakausapin sa ganitong paraan, sa palagay ko rin ay hindi tayo maaaring magtrabaho ng magkasama. Ang aking asawa at ako ay maghihintay sa iyong kasagutan sa hotel." Pagkatapos magsalita, isinulat ni Tangning ang mga pelikulang ginawa niya at inilagay iyon sa tabi ng paanan ni Director Qiao.
"Ting…halika na."
Si Mo Ting ay lubhang hindi nasisiyahan sa tono ng matandang lalake, ngunit hindi siya nag paapekto. Dinala na lamang niya diretso si Tangning sa hotel. Tiniis na ng kanyang asawa ang malupit na lamig ng hangin ng ilang oras, hindi niya gustong magkaroon ito ng sipon.
Samantala, ang matandang lalake ay hindi gumalaw.
Sa totoo lang, si Director Qiao ay walang intensyon na pulutin ang papel na iniwan ni Tangning. Ngunit, sa huli pinulot ito ng kanyang anak na babae at pausisa itong gumawa ng paghahanap online.
Ang unang pelikulang pinanood niya ay ang 'W.H.' dahil gusto niya ang disaster movies.
Sa simula ang kanyang intensyon ay ang hamakin si Tangning dahil tila ito ay isang magandang mukha lamang.
Ngunit, pagkaraan na manood ng ilang minuto, natagpuan nitong imposible ng huminto sa panonood…
Ilang sandali pa, ang matandang lalake ay pumasok na sa sala hawak ang isadang nahuli niya. Nang makita ang kanyang anak na babae na nanonood ng isang pelikula, hindi nito mapigilan na magnakaw ng tingin.
"Anong pelikula ito?"
"Ito ang pelikula na pinangungunahan ni Tangning, ang babae na nagbigay sa iyo ng business card ngayong hapon. Ang pelikula ay may pamagat na 'W.H.'. ang kanyang pag arte ay hindi masama."
Pagkaraan ibaba ang kanyang pang bingwit, ang matandang lalake ay naupo sa sofa katabi ng kanyang anak na babae. Tulad niyon, sa huli nanood siya ng pelikula sa loob ng dalawang oras.
"Napakahirap na maghanap sa China na maaaring umarte ng kasing galing niya ngayong mga panahong ito. Ano sa palagay mo,dad? Buntong hininga ng anak na babae ni Qiao Sen habang pinapanood niya ang pagkunot ng noo ng kanyang ama sa pagkabigo.
Nararamdaman niya na ang pagtitiyaga ni Tangning sa pag arte ay nasa parehong antas ng kanyang pagtitiyaga sa paggawa ng pelikula.
Kaya nakaramdam siya ng pag sisisi sa paraan ng pagmamaliit niya kay Tangning.
"Siya ay may ibang pelikula pa. gusto mo bang panoorin ang mga iyon?"
"Buksan mo na!" kaagad na utos ng matandang lalake. Si Tangning ay biglang nagsindi ng isang siklab sa kanyang kaluluwa.
Kung talagang may totoong tao na kasing tiyaga niya na makagawa ng isang blockbuster sci-fi film at lubos na tapat sa iniisip niya, kung ganon…may pananampalataya siya na ang China ay maaaring makagawa ng isang magandang pelikula ng walang anumang tulong galing sa hollywood.
Si Tangning ba ay nakahandang maging ganito ka tapat sa iniisip na tao?
Kung siya nga, kung ganon ang kanyang pangalan ay tiyak na makikilala sa kasaysayan ng pelikula.
Syempre, siya ay mayroong tiwala sa kanyang sariling pelikula.
Ngunit, ano ang mangyayari king hindi maganda ang kalalabasan nito? Alam niyang hindi lamang siya, ngunit si Tangning din sa huli ay magiging isang malaking katatawanan.
Kaya, pakiramdam niya na ang babae ito ay lubhang napakatapang!


Noong gabi bago ang nakatakdang araw ng kanilang kasal, tumakbo ang kanyang mapapangasawa kasama ng kanyang kabit.
Dahil sa kabiguan, hinila niya ang lalaki na nakatayo sa harap ng Civil Affairs Office, “President Mo, ang iyong mapapangasawang babae ay hindi pa dumarating at ang mapapangasawa kong lalaki naman at tumakbo na … maaari ko bang imungkahi na tayong dalawa na lamang ang magpakasal?”
Bago magpakasal, sinabi ni Tangning, “Kahit na magsama tayo sa iisang kama, walang mangyayari sa pagitan nating dalawa!”
Pagkatapos magpakasal, sinabi ni Mo Ting, “Kapag hindi natin sinubukan, paano natin malalaman?”

Mommy said when she gave birth to me, it was her life-saving moment. I know people tend to think a mother and a father would embrace each other to create me, the baby. However, I only had a mother and she only had me. Nevertheless, being known as an intelligent young child was a bad idea.  So I’ll merely pretend to be like the other kids and go with the flow for Mommy.  *future actor right there*

The relatives of grandpa were bad.
The sissy guy was bad.
The suitor was in fact a bad guy but was well-hidden.
The self-proclaimed ‘best friend’ of Mommy was bad.
Mommy's biological father was an evil incarnate... 

Yup, everything was bad.

There was practically nobody near Mommy who was genuinely good to her from the bottom of their hearts. 


Baby: Hey! Could you accompany my Mommy?
Guy: Uhh…
Baby: You’re splendid enough for her!
Guy: Ummm…
Baby: Please? Pretty please? If not I can compensate you!
Guy: Errr…
Mom: JAZZ!!! If you continue bothering him I’ll never prepare food for you again!
*Guy hugs Mom*
Guy: *Whisper to Mom* If you agree, I won’t mind.
*Mom blushes*
Baby: I knew I am the greatest! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Fang Qi glanced at the task list on the System Interface. He had completed the second task of establishing dominance and obtained the rewards.
Mr. Fang dreaded turning the Fortune Prize Wheel since he still remembered that he almost got a bag of potato chips when he turned it the last time.
However, Fang Qi glanced at the items listed on the wheel and saw the high-level items included Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Orochi's Blood, Random Bloodline Elixir, and a Godly Weapon Fragment. These items would stay on the wheel. Mr. Fang had turned the wheel several times and saw these items many times as well.
As for the low-end items such as potato chips, they would usually only stay on the wheel once. They would be replaced randomly by other things even if they were not drawn.
This time, the spot for the potato chip was replaced by Cappuccino, and the Dove chocolate was also switched off.
Mr. Fang had no choice but to lower his head and turn the Fortune Prize Wheel.
The needle on the wheel swiftly turned and then gradually slowed down until it came to the zone of the high-end items.
Godly weapon fragment…
Passed.
Orochi's Blood…
Mr. Fang's face turned dark when the needle passed it too.
The needle moved even slower, and the next item was Cappuccino.
"F*ck!"
Snap! The needle moved a bit further in the end and stopped at a strange machine.
 [Beep! Host, congratulations on getting a 'Norton's Disassembler'. This machine offers services with fees.]
[TL Note: The Chinese version of Dungeon Fighter Online seems to be a little different compared to the North American version. Therefore, we translated the terminologies to the best of our abilities.]
"Ahh!?" Mr. Fang froze for a few seconds as he glanced at the strange machine that looked like a cupboard. "Norton's Disassembler?"
He felt puzzled, and his vision almost darkened. Wait, I don't even have the game yet! The disassembler' is in place already?
In Dungeon Fighter Online, it was well known that alchemy reached an ultimate high level. In this game, players could even disassemble equipment and crystals; that went to show how advanced this technology was.
Through alchemy, most of the items in the game could be disassembled and made into various colored crystals with different elements or colorless small crystals. Using these crystals of different categories, players could create new equipment.
The colorless small crystals could be understood as mediums or sorcerers' magic crystals.
These crystals had steady and dense structures, which made them extremely important products of alchemy. While ignoring other features, they could act as medium or buffers which were a necessity for using many skills in the game.
Fang Qin didn't know if the skills recreated by the System were like those in the original game. In the original game, once the players that focused on close-range combat went over level 30, they all required colorless small crystals as a medium to use the more powerful skills.
However, in terms of mages, the mage players must cast spells through the mediums, which was the common feature of most systems of mages and sorcerers.
"…" Mr. Fang at a loss for words, wondered why he was given this item before the game was released; it only made sense if this item came after.
He had to accept it anyway since it was his prize…
The only good news was that Fang Qi would get the majority of the income earned from this machine including activation fees and service fees. After all, it was his prize.
In other words, this item would bring him more income later on, but he had to put it away for now.
Another task had stayed on Mr. Fang's System Interface for a long time.
It was the task to unlock the new online game, Dungeon Fighter Online. The number of the sci-fic games and movies including Resident Evil the movie, Resident Evil the game, Grand Thief Auto 5, The Matrix, and StarCraft had reached 5; the earlier ones had far surpassed 1,000 activations.
With more players entering the two old shops, GTA 5, the game with the highest degree of freedom in the sci-fi genre, had more than 6,000 activations.
Despite this game not being that helpful towards improving strength, it was casual, relaxing, and open. The players could get familiar with the functions of modern objects, and the artifact masters, cultivators, and warriors could also learn basic knowledge about the machines in this game.
It was why many cultivators tried this game even though its style was not to their tastes.
For example, Tang Yu had dismantled the marines' guns while he played StarCraft and spent some time on trying to mimic them but couldn't find a way. However, Li Haoran could make a breakthrough in this research with his advantage in the basic knowledge that he learned from Grand Thief Auto 5.
The newly-released StarCraft had a sharp increase in sales lately. As for 'The Matrix', its activation number had reached the target set by the task before the release of StarCraft.
The goal of promoting sci-fi world views was temporarily completed.
As for the goal of unlocking the magic world views, Diablo 2 had been popular for a while now. The movie series including Harry Potter and the Hobbit were not as popular, but the fourth movie of Harry Potter had been released and the first movie of the Hobbit was released; each of them still had many fans.
The basic knowledge of runes and spells in the movies and games were helpful to the viewers. For example, the knowledge in Diablo 2 helped cultivators with the research of magic instillation and teleportation arrays. On top of that, spells such as teleportation and transfiguration had their own advantages.
In a magnificent palace in the inner section of Half City, a demonic woman with brown hair and green eyes stretched lazily and waved her magic wand. In the next moment, she already appeared before the shop.
"It's been a long while since I saw the young Mr. Fang…" She reached out her slim hand to push open the door and entered the shop.
This was the advantage of the teleportation spell shown in Harry Potter. It had limitations in some areas and was even dangerous sometimes, but it was obviously very useful.
Mr. Fang sneezed, and he wondered who was thinking of him. Anyway, including Diablo 2, Devil May Cry, Harry Potter, and the Hobbit, he was only one step away from reaching the goal of the magic world views.
[TL Note: In Chapter 426, the author mentioned that 8 movies and games were required for magic world views, but it is now down to 5 here. We think that the author made a typo in Chapter 426 and will issue the correction.]
…
After completing the last task, he had also obtained an elevation of privileges. Fang Qi saw a tree-shaped graph on the System Interface after his privileges were upgraded.
With this graph, he didn't need the System to send him tasks. Instead, he could see on the System Interface what he would do to develop the internet café and what benefits he would get.
For example, the three shops had all reached the limit for expansion. Fang Qi could calculate through the tree-shaped graph what degree of expansion he should make before he could get new rewards.
This way, he could make his own plans instead of solely relying on getting tasks from the System.


We’ve had systems that help the MCs make pills, steal skills from legendary masters, and even be forced to show off to earn points, but what about a system that allows one to run a virtual reality internet cafe, featuring all the classic games?

Our MC awakens in a new world (Truck-kun strikes again) and finds himself with a mysterious system that allows him to run a fully self-sufficient virtual reality internet cafe! What? Opening an internet cafe in a cultivator world? You can now surf the internet, watch dramas, and play video games?!

One Emperor Warrior cried after visiting MC’s shop, “Damn, Blizzard completes my life!”
Another Yuan River Realm cultivator gasped after drinking Sprite, “What is this sorcery?” 

What else did the MC bring to the cultivator world? Come join us on this adventure as Fang Qi faces off against cultivation sects and major forces with his collection of modern treasures.
