After the test screening, at the urging of the Skeleton Duke, Joshua sped up the shooting process.
Therefore, Joshua as hunter ‘Gaston’ was currently sitting on a carriage.
Around Joshua were indignant villagers, who under Gaston’s instigation, raised their torches, picked up bows and arrows and pitchforks, and were prepared to fight against the beast, who imprisoned their village’s beautiful girl, Belle.
The villagers who lived in the mountains mostly depended on hunting to make a living. Perhaps, they would have been frightened, if they were told that the enemy they were going to face was a ‘demon’, however, Joshua cleverly portrayed Zenas as a “Humanoid Beast.”
To these hunters, any beast was merely their prey. As long as the creature could be killed with a bow and arrow, they were not afraid.
Therefore, these villagers holding this kind of thinking followed Joshua to the most dangerous place of their lives…. Skeleton Duke’s Shadow forest.
Don’t know if these villagers could still walk with their heads high if they know that the forest was full of evil spirits that could tear apart their souls to pieces at any time.
It was also the first time for the dead spirits living in the forest to have seen so many “living people” enter their sights, these evil spirits who haven’t tasted fresh souls for hundreds of years, became restless.
However, the whole forest was filled with Skeleton Duke’s majesty. Under this kind of absolute oppressing force, the evil spirits could only watch the delicious fat meat walk past through their eyes, they did not dare to approach them at all, except for the few Banshee camera operators especially assigned by Joshua.
‘Is the ending really going to be a tragedy?’
Joshua was concentrating on mobilizing the banshee to shoot the scene as good as possible and suddenly a window popped up in front of him.
Seems that I need to add a few lines of code for message notification in the ‘chat window’… Fortunately, Joshua wasn’t riding a horse. Otherwise, the message that suddenly popped up in his field of vision was enough to let Joshua’s horse bump into the person in front of him.
Joshua looked towards the culprit that caused all this, Ciri was sitting in another carriage, and her eyes also were just looking at Joshua.
‘Yes.’
Joshua immediately sent a reply to Ciri.
Ciri’s profession was a white magician, and although she was just an elementary apprentice, she quickly mastered the chat window program Joshua had sent her and enjoyed playing with it.
The content of playing included sending harassing messages to Joshua.
‘Is there no leeway for revision?’
‘It is just a movie.’
Joshua clenched his left hand containing the imprint and gave a series of commands to Banshees, and the other hand was quickly tapping in the air.
Joshua has only recently discovered the ability to do two things simultaneously. Since Joshua received the memory of the demon prince, he found that his thinking was much clearer than on earth, and it was not a problem to type out a series of codes in a second.
‘But, if the ending is a tragedy, then the prince and Belle…’
Just as Ciri typed till here, her hand movements stopped, and she suddenly realized a very frightening thing.
That was….She was sympathizing with the demon. Even though it was just a character in the movie, she was feeling indignant at the unfair treatment of the demon prince.
After watching Joshua’s test screening, Ciri’s sole wish was that in the end Belle and the prince could live happily!
Ciri didn’t know where this feeling came from.
After hearing the conclusion from Joshua that the prince would be killed by villagers in the ending, Ciri was full of sorrow and unwillingness for the Prince’s experience, she also had the idea of forcing Joshua to revise the script or even block these villagers by herself.
And the performance like Ciri’s what Joshua desired to see, which also proves that “Beauty and the beast” movie was a success.
Joshua believed that a good romantic movie shouldn’t just feed the audience with affection after watching it, rather it needed to let the audience sincerely hope that the male lead and female lead in the movie could be together and sincerely wish they could have a happy life.
This was the portrayal of a successful romance movie, and “Beauty and the beast” have undoubtedly achieved it.
‘In this world, there aren’t many happy endings. Don’t worry about it too much. Besides, yesterday I made another small interesting program.’
‘What?’
Seeing this message pop up in the chat window, Ciri’s attention was immediately diverted. Ciri has never heard of something like a chat window before. Even when Joshua explained to Ciri it as a kind of ‘magic’ compiled with inscriptions, Ciri still couldn’t understand the principle.
Ciri knew that magic such as “Eagle eye technique”, “Insight technique” and others magic techniques could change the range of the field of vision, but she never heard of a window that could appear in front of their vision and could be used to communicate with each other through words.
And when Ciri asked Joshua ‘this window, how to use chanting inscriptions to bring it out?’ Joshua just replied with a sentence, ‘uh… it’s very simple, you need to chant only about two-three thousand kilobytes, no, if changed to the inscription it should be roughly around seventy thousand.’
At that time, Ciri could only believe that Joshua was just joking, it should be known that strategic level magic that was capable of mass destruction requires only about ten thousand inscriptions. So, Ciri couldn’t believe that Joshua’s window has seventy thousand inscriptions.
‘There you go.’
In Joshua’s hand, a rotating virtual cube appeared, with a wave of the hand, he threw it at Ciri who was sitting in another carriage. The cube successfully entered into Ciri’s body.
This was the actual version of LAN transmission, the transmission medium was Joshua’s spirit power, and its scope was the range that Joshua’s spirit power could cover about one to two hundred meters.
Ciri received the inscription program Joshua had given her, and soon something new appeared in her vision besides the chat window.
‘What is this?’
Ciri looked at the extra window that appeared in front of her sight. Inside the window, there were two rectangle boxes on each side and a tiny square box in front of one rectangle.
‘Ping Pong’
Joshua replied with a name that was destined to be recorded in the annals of video games.
Because this game was the ancestor of all the video games on the earth. The video game was invented by the American Physicist William Higinbotham, the moment when this machine came out, it also represented the subversive era of entertainment.
The game of ping pong was very simple and primitive. There were two rectangles as “rackets” and a small square launched as a “ball”
However, in the age when even it was not known what was a video game, the ping pong instantly became popular.
Joshua remembered that the William Higinbotham’s machine was placed inside the pub and had people use coins before playing the game, which in later generations were called as Arcade game; within just a few days, the coins in the machine would reach the full level.
After Joshua introduced the rules of the game, her attention was immediately attracted by this game. This was the first time the female magician contacted with a video game in her life, and also the first time she got addicted to the video game.
