Three days later, every single city across the ten liberated provinces of the Red-Sand Wastes and western Great Yan was buzzing with a brand-new obsession:
Going to the Dry-Well Illusion-Cinema!
In the past, after hard working days in the fields or workshops, mortal townspeople had nothing to do at night except go to sleep in the dark. Even rich landlords could only hire a blind storyteller or a noisy opera troupe once a month.
Now, thanks to Pei Xuan spending 3,000,000 Loyalty Points in the Fusion Cube to combine [Madame Red-Silk’s Rank 5 Illusion Qi] + [100 Mirage Recording Crystals] + [Surround-Sound Echo Horns], twenty massive Dry-Well Public Movie Theaters had opened simultaneously across twenty county seats!
Ticket price? Just one copper coin (or free if you brought five empty glass bottles for recycling)!
Inside the Central Dry-Well Movie Theater, five thousand citizens sat on padded cement benches munching on Old Guo’s Caramel-Buttered Corn Kernels and sipping Rose-Honey Milk Tea while staring up at a fifty-foot white silk screen.
BOOM—SLASH!
On the giant screen, a realistic, three-dimensional illusion movie filmed with Madame Red-Silk’s Rank 5 Illusion Art was playing in vivid color and booming surround sound.
