Mr. Fang suddenly found that people were staring at him with weird looks on their faces.

“Why are you staring at me?” Mr. Fang touched his face. “Do I have flowers on my face?”

The others were speechless.

“Pooh! Scummy shop owner!” Mu Qing mumbled and turned back to her game.

The others who had wanted to watch the shop owner’s defeat looked embarrassed.

They were not on the same level as Mr. Fang. Obviously, Mr. Fang had reached quite a high level in the understanding of different strategies and making the different units work in harmony while they were still at the stage of simply moving armies.

“He’s really good!” Zong Wu was amazed to find that the young shop owner had such a good understanding of strategies.

“Boss, how come you’re also good at this game?” Jiang Xiaoyue stared at his screen curiously with wide-open eyes. “Boss, what were those things that you just used? They are indeed powerful!”

She had seen that there were many ‘spiritual ships’ parked in Gu Tingyun’s base after the carriers were sent out to attack. However, these ships were all destroyed by Mr. Fang’s bomb which also left a terrifying crater in the ground.

“That weapon was indeed powerful!” Li Lanruo still looked fearful when she recalled the shocking sight of the mushroom cloud and the power which shattered everything in one instant. “The humans look tiny and fragile, but their spiritual weapons are so powerful. I wonder how they make these spiritual artifacts!”

It was more than powerful! Its power went beyond their imagination!

“How could humans are so powerful?!”

Hearing this question, everyone turned to look at him.

“Um...” Mr. Fang didn’t know how to answer this question of how to make a nuclear missile. I’m just the owner of an internet café; how can I explain this to you?

“Let’s enter the game to find the answer!” Tang Yu said.

...

In the other two shops, the customers were mostly playing the campaign mode. Right now, there were no group chats in QQ for StarCraft yet, but someone had created the StarCraft Post Bar. The new players of this game could open and browse the post bar when they took a break from fighting battles in the campaign mode.

Not everyone would play the new games when they just came out. Most of the customers were still playing old games; only the customers who loved new things or followed the footprints of the shop owner tried StarCraft.

However, with the increase of the players in the shops, there were many people playing StarCraft already.

They included old players such as Su Tianji, Li Haoran, Duan Yue who was the head artifact master who led the project of the Heavenly Mirror in the Half City Shop, and the disciples of the Nanhua Faction.

Even Nalan Hongwu, a loyal player of Diablo and the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, had begun playing StarCraft since it was a product of Blizzard.

At this moment, Nalan Hongwu had just finished a battle while controlling Raynor in campaign mode. He took a break and opened the post bar.

Then, he was startled; there were thousands of replies to posts in the newly-established StarCraft Post Bar.

[Where Is StarCraft happening?] Soon, he saw a post that was really popular in the post bar.

He opened the post and saw that it was from a girl with ID ‘Sprite’. There were many screenshots in the post, including a picture showing the limitless universe with a huge black metal spaceship filling the screen. Above the ship was a dark red planet.

The spaceship traveled silently in the void like an island, followed by many small strange-looking bats.

Ning Bi was reading the many replies to her discussion post.

[Is this a screenshot of the game?]

[It looks like the starry sky at the beginning of the game!]

[Did you see that there’s no land below the ship?! The land is the red sphere above the spiritual ship.]

“This land is a sphere?” The cultivators in the Jiuhua City Shop and the Half City Shop had never ventured out of the Deserted Sea Realm, and it was natural that they didn’t know the shape of their land.

“...”

Nalan Hongwu browsed the screenshots and saw that this battleship was flying toward the nearby red sphere. When it got closer, the land looked larger until it became a vast and broad continent.

Then, he saw another reply, [They (the people in the game) always talk about stars; could it be that they live on stars?]

Nalan Hongwu was deep in thought.

[Sir, do the people in StarCraft... really live on stars? ] With a cup of milk tea in her hand, Ning Bi sent a message to Mr. Fang on QQ as if she had discovered a new continent, [Stars twinkle, right? How come the stars they live on don’t twinkle?]

“Um...?” Mr. Fang read this message and felt as if he was looking at an elementary schoolgirl in the world where he had lived before his journey to this world. [How come you are so naïve...]

The moment that he replied to the message, another person’s icon jumped.

Nalan Hongwu asked, [Sir, the people in StarCraft actually live on stars?]

Nalan Mingxue questioned, [(A screenshot of the universe) I feel like these people live on stars. But... do the stars really look like this?]

Mr. Fang was at a loss for words.

He suddenly found that Ning Bi wasn’t the only naïve person; it seemed like all the people here were naïve.

They were as curious as children.

Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly asked, “Ugh? How come you’re all talking about stars? And the people living on stars?”

Mu Qing replied, “It’s very magical. Living on stars; won’t they fall down?”

Mr. Fang’s face turned dark. This is magical?

Mr. Fang said, “Did it ever occur to you...”

He rephrased his words and said, “Maybe, I mean maybe, the land we are standing on is also a star. Have you never thought about it?”

“How can it be?!” Sitting next to Mr. Fang, Jiang Xiaoyue mumbled to herself, “Boss is trying to fool us again.”

Mr. Fang’s words landed like a bomb and created giant waves, but soon many people expressed their disagreement.

Yue Bai said, “If we lived on a star, I would be a fairy, right? ”

Ning Bi added, “I wonder if they are really in the sky, but I do envy them.”

Su Tianji sent a message in the group chat in QQ while eating instant noodles, [(A screenshot of the starry sky) So beautiful!]

Mu Donglai: [Indeed beautiful! More beautiful than the view that I had seen when standing on the Star-Observing Tower.]

“...”

They had never seen the view of the whole world or the sight beyond the sky, which was probably why they couldn’t imagine the view of their planet from space.
