Chapter 200: Return to the Sect

Sage spent a full week in the lap of luxury. Haircut, manicure, pedicure, skin treatment, massage, he was curious to see how things had evolved from his initial ideas for the business. Wan Ling and the business managers would take input from customers and their own experience to improve their services so it quite interesting to see how far things had advanced. He was glad to see the concept of a luxury hotel taking hold. Each room had its own large bathtub and shower with running water, which must mean the Sect had stepped up its production of the hot water systems, or theyd figured out how to make pipes at a low cost. He had raised the idea both to Wan Ling and the Sect, but he hadnt found a solution.

The majority of his week of relaxation was actually split between the restaurant and the movie theater. Initially, they werent popular enough to be added to the later locations theyd set up for the Palace of Prosperity. The Movie Projector was an expensive magical device so the greatest profits would be had by having them traveling around from city to city to draw huge crowds. The amount of people cycling through Treasure Pass must be great enough to support a dedicated projector, which meant that business must truly be good! Sage got to take a peek at the different sorts of films that were being made these days. In the beginning hed just tried to create a few of the most basic movie plots on his own and threw them into some memory spheres.

The beauty of the system was that the memory sphere was filled based upon memories. If you could imagine something with enough detail it could be transcribed directly into a memory sphere. A movie could be created straight out of ones own imagination. Usually such creations were blurry and vague, but they could be further edited and changed till it was exactly right. Sage was pretty confident that once it was popular enough a few visionary movie creators might start springing up out of nowhere. A single person could create the whole thing, there was no need for huge crews, actors, writers, filming locations, or any of the many people involved in creating films on Earth. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Amazingly, it seemed his first few films hed made were still quite popular. Probably because hed just copied the storylines of popular films from Earth and just revisualised them to fit into his world. He also had just chosen one movie from each major genre. Many of the newer movies were mashups of many genres, having far too much going on, or they completely broke the rules of cinema. Sage was no film buff, but even he knew that movies with literally a hundred characters and ones that were six hours long were definitely not normal. Even so, there were dozens of new films that were pretty good and Sage was quite happy to see that they werent all made by the same person.

The other portion of his time was spent in the restaurant. Both because he was trying out the buffet, and also because he was gathering information. He hadnt yet donned his Holy Flame Sect uniform, specifically because he wanted to check on things as if he were an outsider. It was a bit overcautious of him, but after getting killed he wanted to make sure things were still safe for him before he returned.

Walking into his house, he was surprised to find it in such good condition. Then he remembered that he left it in the care of Wan Ling to use as a headquarters for their business dealings. Walking inside he looked around, amazed at the complete transformation in the decor. It certainly looked like the refined and elegant lobby of a local merchant company, all it was missing was a receptionist.

While looking around, Sage heard footsteps coming from behind and he slowly turned around. Smiling widely when he saw the familiar face of Wan Ling. She had her hair pulled back into a bun with a few chopsticks poked through it. Her dress was elegant and stately, not showing off anything but also very beautiful.

Crack!

The sound was quite startling. It actually took a moment for Sage to realize there was a slight stinging sensation coming from his cheek. Thankfully, Wan Ling hadnt advanced much in her cultivation while hed been gone or else that slap shed just given him might have rearranged his face.

Seems like you missed me!
