The only difference was that the characters, who were originally just images on a screen, had now become real people without the slightest sense of incongruity.
Beyond that, the surrounding environment—whether it was the trees, the flowing water, or the wild grass—was incredibly realistic, giving one the feeling of truly being inside the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.
To test whether this immersive experience mode was truly as described in the introduction, Ning Caichen watched the entire Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from beginning to end.
Then, when he returned to reality, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the time in reality had not changed at all, and the latest message in the chat group was still the one where he had replied to [Sunrise in the East, Invincible].
"No matter how many times I look at this chat group, its existence feels absolutely incredible! And now that it even controls the power of time, it seems the future for us group members will be quite bright."
"However, this immersive experience mode is just too immersive! If I didn't remember that I had a chat group and that I was different from the Ning Caichen in the memory copy, I would have almost failed to distinguish reality from illusion!"
Thinking this, Ning Caichen splashed some water on his face to wake himself up, then resolutely clicked on The Myth.
To pull himself out of the "Ning Caichen" from the memory copy, he decided to fight fire with fire, using one memory copy to counter another.
When Ning Caichen finished watching all the memory copies and turned his consciousness back to the chat group, he was stunned to find that the group had completely exploded.
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Damn that Yi Xiaochuan!"
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "This reaction? It seems you've already finished watching The Myth! How is it? How does it feel to know that you were tricked by your 'good friend' into becoming a eunuch, that the sister you adopted was treated like a toy by him, and that you almost died miserably because of him?"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "I will not let what happened in the memory copy repeat itself in my life!"
Poison Girl of Chuyun: "So, does that mean you intend to kill him directly?"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "No, that would be letting him off too easily!"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "He clearly knew what kind of person Liu Bang was, yet he introduced me to that street thug, causing me to end up as a government slave and eventually suffer the humiliation of castration!!"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "He clearly knew I was guarding the Night Pearl, yet he still came to steal it!"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "That Yi Xiaochuan is an educated man who studied Qin law under Xiang Liang; I don't believe he didn't know what charges I would face once the Night Pearl went missing! That was a capital offense! He was obsessed with his Yushu and never once thought about what would happen to me!!!"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "And yet, after I did so much for him, he even accused me of being ruthless and said I shouldn't have sent others to their deaths?"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Heh, such a 'good brother'—I, Gao Yao, am truly unworthy of him!"
Ever since finishing The Myth, Gao Yao felt clearer-headed than ever before.
That guy Yi Xiaochuan had cheated on his sister back in the modern era, and not just once.
Then, after arriving in the Qin Dynasty, he didn't restrain himself either.
Not only did he flirt with wealthy women everywhere, but he would also go on to hook up with that princess from the frontier, Yushu.
Why should he hold onto old feelings for such a scumbag?
Moreover, this scumbag would eventually cause him to become a ghost of a man—neither male nor female—and would later bring disaster upon his sworn sister.
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "Then what do you plan to do?"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Hmph, I want to make him impotent from now on, leave him abandoned by his followers, ruin his reputation, and ensure he dies a miserable death!"
He wanted Yi Xiaochuan, this unfaithful scumbag, to never be able to touch another woman again, and to turn all the women he loved into his enemies!
He wanted Yi Xiaochuan, this sycophant who knelt before Liu Bang—the future Emperor Gaozu of Han—to be endlessly persecuted by the very person he groveled to!
He wanted Yi Xiaochuan, this hypocrite, to have his reputation destroyed and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever!
Poison Girl of Chuyun: "I support your decision! For a scumbag like that, killing him with one strike is too easy, and it would be an injustice to those he betrayed!"
Poison Girl of Chuyun: "Of course, if you need anything, just ask. Although my strength is weak, I can still provide some help—for example, with poisons!"
Having finished Battle Through the Heavens and knowing her own future, Xiao Yi Xian was no longer as resistant to using poison, even though she still held some obsession with becoming an alchemist.
After all, her constitution was the Woeful Poison Body; those with this special constitution were destined to deal with poison. People with this constitution didn't need years of training in Dou Qi to become strong; they only needed to consume poison.
Their Woeful Poison Body would automatically convert the toxic power contained within the poisons into a very unique form of poisonous Dou Qi in a bizarre way. The more toxic the substance, the more beneficial it was for increasing their strength.
Sunrise in the East, Invincible: "Xiao Yi Xian is right. If you need help, just ask! After all, we are all friends in this group, and helping each other is only right. Besides, fighting against scumbags is everyone's responsibility!"
Gentleman Sword: "Count me in too!"
Yue Buqun indicated that since this was a rare opportunity to build his reputation, he must participate.
After all, he was the Gentleman Sword! How could he be absent from an act of helping others?
Seeing that even the hypocrite Yue Buqun had spoken up, Ning Caichen was not to be outdone.
Undead Knight: "Count me in too! But I've only just started cultivating, so I'm quite weak, and I don't have the points to buy a Myriad Worlds Shuttle Card, so I might not be able to help you much... but I will cheer you on in the group!"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Just cheering me on is enough! Thank you!"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Thank you all!"
