Chapter 226: The Legend of Mir 2, and the Grand Cultivators Playing with Magic Properties
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In Jun Yangzi’s personal artifact-making room in the headquarters of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, the core artifact masters from the Liuyun Daoist Palace, the Cloud Ocean Faction, and other factions in the Wuwei Daoist Alliance gathered together with serious expressions!
After all, this project concerned the future of the entire Wuwei Daoist Alliance and even Dajin’s future! In the center of the room, there was a huge copper-colored eight trigrams array disk, and a pale blue circular mirror stood in the center as a pale blue spiritual light enveloped it.
“Everyone, please look!” Jun Yangzi said proudly.
“This is the Tianluo Heart Mirror of our Blue Flame Faction. This mirror is magical since it can reveal the origins of any illusions or clones, and it can help us artifact masters analyze the materials used and their ratios in the composition of artifacts.”
“The more spiritual essence that is injected into it, the greater power it will release!” Jun Yangzi continued.
“Everyone, please follow my instruction and take the positions according to the eight trigrams.”
“Haoran, let’s do the sniper bullet first.” Jun Yangzi said.
Li Haoran who stood next to him nodded and handed him a bullet which was bigger than the ordinary ones.
Jun Yangzi took out an engraving knife and injected spiritual essence into it. Instantly, spiritual light flowed on the short knife, and the head of the bullet fell to the floor with one cut.
He waved his left hand, and a three-footed bronze cauldron landed in the center of the array, and the bright blue light shined on the belly of the cauldron.
Then, Jun Yangzi poured the bullet powder into the cauldron.
“Please inject spiritual essence in order! Kan! Zhen...”
[TL Note: Kan and Zhen are the names of two out of the eight trigrams.]
“Now, we continue with the staff.”
...
Only about ten days were left before the time limit for the internet-building task would be up.
“Xiaoyue...”
Fang Qi’s shop closed at 12 midnight as usual. While looking at the people who were leaving the shop, Fang Qi said, “I might need to take a long trip.”
“A long trip?” Jiang Xiaoyue furrowed her slim and cute eyebrows. “Wasn’t your trip to Jingshi a long one?”
Fang Qi replied, “Jingshi isn’t that far away. This time, my destination will be more distant than that; much more distant.”
“How long will it take you? When will you return?”
“I don’t know, but I guess it won’t be too long.” Fang Qi turned and patted her on the head, asking, “Can you manage the shop while I’m away?”
“Humph!” Jiang Xiaoyue turned her head away. “You told me I didn’t have to manage the shop; I only need to do the laundry, cook, and be a cashier!”
“No. When I’m gone, you must know how to play games!”
“Ahh!” Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed and said immediately, “I can manage the shop!”
Fang Qi nodded. “After I’m gone, you can pick two games to play. During the day, especially the morning, you can play a little. You can play a bit more during the evening when there are fewer customers.”
“I got it!” Jiang Xiaoyue said excitedly, “Boss, don’t worry! I’ll manage the shop well for you! I’ll toss out anyone who makes trouble here!”
“The trouble makers?” Fang Qi glanced at the shop and said, “That senior will handle that, so you don’t have to worry about it. You can just yell when anyone makes trouble here.”
Fang Qi glanced at the System Interface and continued, “Anyone who makes trouble in or outside of the shop will be punished with lightning!”
“Besides.” Fang Qi looked at the cabinet and said, “Your pay will be one snack each week except the spicy sticks or 15 crystals each month.”
“I can play games and eat snacks as well?!” Jiang Xiaoyue widened her eyes and looked at this black-hearted boss in disbelief.
Fang Qi shrugged. Although the business of the shop was simple, it wasn’t easy to find an employee who can behave well for this long and be trustworthy. Therefore, increasing the employee benefit was only a small price to pay.
Anyway, I have enough money, he thought as he glanced at the big piles of the crystals in the storage spiritual artifact.
At this moment, the System beeped again.
[Since the host is beginning to execute the plan and complete the task of building an internet, the attaching tasks are activated.]
[Attaching Task 1: Decent Shop
Task Requirement: The new shop must not be located in remote places; they must be established in cities with higher than average population density. Also, the shop must be clean, tidy, and big enough to contain at least 100 computers.

Fang Qi even saw the logo of that penguin on the screen.
[TL Note: Tencent QQ, also known as QQ, is an instant messaging software service developed by the Chinese tech giant Tencent. Similar to whatsapp and facebook, but it had been around since the 2000s.]
The Legend of Mir 2!? QQ?! Fang Qi’s face spasmed. Are you serious?
[Attaching Task 3: The Last Cheer
Task Requirement: Go out and have fun with your friends for one day since you might not see them for a while in the real world.
Task Reward: QQ: Qzone special remake version
Tash Description: You saw it right]
[TL Note; Qzone is like My Space, but it was one of the features of QQ.]
Fang Qi thought, Can you give this task a less sad name? It’s not like I’m not coming back!
...
“Many things look the same but are different deeper down...” Jun Yangzi frowned. “However, the attributes such as increased dexterity and strength should be correct.”
While stroking his beard, Jun Yangzi looked at an ordinary stick before them and said, “It seems that the basic stuff isn’t very difficult.”
Jun Yangzi condensed a trace of solid spiritual essence between his fingers and drew something in the air. The pale blue spiritual essence flowed in the air and turned into an extremely weird pattern which looked like the rune symbols on the rune notes but also being quite different.
“Go!” He yelled, and the row of organized symbol-looking runes entered the wooden stick and branded the stick with a line of dark blue words.
Holding the stick in his hand, Jun Yangzi said, “Look, these are the simplest suffix of strength in the weapons with magic properties. From what I know, this artifact-making technique is divided into two parts. The first part is the engravings with basic attributes with prefixes, and the second part is what we just did, giving this item a suffix property.”
Although the attributes were invisible, Jun Yangzi and Li Haoran showed their deep knowledge of them. “I can tell you that the strength attribute is between 6 to 9, and the suffix is Bull which I derived from the suffix on the Razortine.”
“In other words, we can name this magic item Stick of Bull”
“To give magic properties to artifacts, the beginners must concentrate their mind and try all kinds of materials before they can achieve success,” Jun Yangzi said, “But with our spiritual essence, we only need to control the condensed spiritual essence and keep it steady on the artifacts!”
“Does it mean that we succeeded?!”
“Hahahaha!”
“We finally got some success!” Cheers and laughter burst out in the artifact-making room.
