The King of Black Fog

"Good morning to all players."

As he walked towards the movie theater, a friendly female voice came out of the speakers, a professionalism that Little Yue couldn't match in ten months. Could it be that Little Yue became a crew member by relying on her 'Elimination Ability' instinct?

"Congratulations to everyone for successfully completing the mission, and for taking another solid step on the path of evolution."

No, not necessarily.

Little Yue's figure and appearance were very suitable for dressing up as a crew member; perhaps it was for this reason that she became one.

I wonder if a crew member can be killed.

"Players may stay on the ship until 9 a.m."

Forget it, although we're not familiar with each other, killing someone just because I want their instinct, even if they're the real boss, no one would do such low-end things. Only assassins and elite monsters do that.

"If you want to stay on the ship, or if you want to continue the next voyage, you can refuse to disembark at 9 a.m. The crew will then charge you for the next voyage's ticket."

"Tickets can be purchased at the subway station."

There wasn't just one movie theater on the ship; passengers could choose to watch any movie they liked or simply open a private room and play a designated movie.

On this ship, as long as you have Game Coins, you can enjoy anything available.

Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, Little Radish, Butterfly, when they arrived at the movie theater, Turquoise Pool had already opened a private room.

"This is incredible," Li Changzhou exclaimed as he watched the promotional video.

In the video, "Om!" resounded, the sound coming out from the monitor still carried the vastness of Buddhism.

A Buddha constructed of Buddha's Light shone brilliantly before suddenly collapsing into pieces, with streaks of golden Sanskrit rolling towards the screen.

Then, the chant resonated: "Great Sun Tathagata!"

Great Sun Tathagata Visualization!

S+ Grade Visualization!

This isn't the counterfeit graded according to task worlds (like those of Changzhou's three uses), it's S+ in the entire game system of the vast universe!

If the three uses of Changzhou are considered the highest-ranked player in the class, the Great Sun Tathagata Visualization is like one of the highest-ranked people since the birth of the universe.

To put it more plainly, if the three uses of Changzhou make someone the handsomest in the neighborhood, the Great Sun Tathagata Visualization is Li Changzhou.

The gap between the two is even further than traveling from the Cangqiong World to Earth.

The players on the ship had almost all gathered in the movie theater, recreating the spectacle of the casino from before.

But you could clearly see that the crowd had thinned out considerably, like a buffet restaurant's plates nearing the end of lunch at 2 p.m.

Five people and one butterfly entered the private room.

Turquoise Pool had chosen a conference room style. If the screen was showing quotations from various vendors, it would've looked just like a departmental meeting.

On the "desk", there were many snacks and a vending machine filled with various drinks, all for free.

If other services were needed, you could press a button to have the crew member bring it in for a fee.

"A private room plus a movie and they're charging 500 Game Coins? That's enough to buy a C Skill!" Li Qianxia couldn't help but comment as she sat down.

"500 Game Coins?" Yang Qinglan, who was holding a souvenir from "Hakone," remarked, "Seems like we won't learn Visualization from the movie after all."

"Let's talk about it after the movie," Turquoise Pool said, and the entire room darkened before suddenly lighting up again.

"Wow!!" Little Radish exclaimed, looking up.

They found themselves in a forest, with towering fir trees standing tall like the palaces of giants.

"What is this, a multi-D experience?" Li Changzhou asked.

No one answered him; perhaps no one knew.

In any case, it felt as if they were actually there.

The scene moved forward, and the movie's protagonist "Screwdriver" climbed the steep path through the fir forest.

Along the way, there were many fellow travelers: wearing kimonos, Samurai armor, monk robes, Tang suits, and even some in girls' high school uniforms.

"This must be the path to the Hakone Shrine," Yang Qinglan said, comparing it to pictures in a book.

Li Changzhou leaned a little closer, and Yang Qinglan placed the book between them. A feeling of warmth overflowed from the bottom of their hearts, like when a boy and girl who liked each other shared the same textbook in school.

Every so often, there were roaring reverberations, as if the Hakone Mountains trembled like a giant beast turning over.

"This monster's strength should be no less than that of the Imperial Mecha."

"Hmm, it might even be stronger."

Li Qianxia kept eating spicy rice crackers, watching the two of them: "What are you two whispering about? If you have any information, speak up!"

The two looked up and glared at her simultaneously.

The scene changed again, with "Screwdriver" being assigned to the rescue department, following a cultivator named Yugong Naya.

Through simple information exchange, it was revealed: Yugong Naya's team was all rookies, one had died before, so "Screwdriver" was replacing him.

The team also included Yugong Naya's sister, only eighteen, who conveyed that on their way there, they were intercepted by an organization called the Daoist Church. Fortunately, the Divine Witch was with them, ensuring their safety.

There were all sorts of bizarre tales.

After listening, the five people, no, Little Radish had already fallen asleep, the four realized that the power of this world was not as simple as just the Imperial Mecha.

Talking about Song Immortals, the towering princess Kaha No Ike, the Netherworld Demon Dragon, their mere names sounded formidable.

Yugong Naya's sister spoke mostly about princess Kaha No Ike because she had only fought against that monster.

The combat wasn't with princess Kaha No Ike herself but against a Sakura Demon that had obtained her divine air (similar to 'Ability'). The smallest of these cherry blossom spirits were at least ten meters, and the ones around a hundred meters were considered mid-to-small sized.

Although size and strength don't always correlate, the larger ones definitely had more fundamental strength.

These Sakura Demons erupted once a year, with tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands emerging each time.
