Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

CHAPTER 542: CHAPTER 322: GIVING LIU XIANZI A LESSON_2
The expression was full of regret, even with a hint of bitterness.
But the mouth was already grinning from ear to ear. Without the need to strive for oneself, all sorts of cultivation resources were fully prepared for you, and according to Liang Yu, this was originally meant to be the supply for the entire Swordmaster Peak.
Look, the ceremony of taking a master included not only the senior sister but also himself as a senior brother, and from what was revealed by that young lady of wealth, it basically meant...
Whatever you want, just say it, our Royal Family can get it for you.
Although living off a woman is considered despicable, having such a young lady of wealth in the Mountain Gate still brings immense reassurance.
"What’s written on this?"
Suddenly someone spoke up.
Staring intently at the mysterious text on the rice paper, to be honest, Jiang Feng’s academic performance might be average, but his penmanship was quite impressive. Especially when writing in English, he would mimic cursive, which indeed had a certain flair.
Even though Liu Xianzi couldn’t understand the scribbles at all, she could still feel the artistry emanating from it.
"Senior sister, do you know what this is?"
The expression was equally peculiar.
He naturally didn’t know the importance of this item to the entire Cultivation World, but Liu Tangxi just nodded, her expression and tone were not impatient, having figured it all out in a short time.
The die was cast, take it step by step, and if it’s impossible to outsmart that Demon Lord, it doesn’t matter anyway, after all, it was the life’s work of two Immortal Monarchs, it would be unusual for someone to see through it in just a couple of glances.
Going with the flow, instead, at this moment, she began to trust her sixth sense, making all choices based on intuition, she felt that this might not be a bad thing for both her and her junior brother.
"It’s an instruction manual."
He blurted out.
He fiddled with the bamboo slip book in his hand. Facing Liang Yu, he certainly wouldn’t reveal everything, but the only person he could completely trust was Liu Tangxi, he would never hide anything when asked by his senior sister.
"I’ll scramble some armor first, the characters on this were pieced together by me, due to many parts being unclear and with missing strokes, so I can’t be sure I got it completely right."
"What you see now is the result of me patching up these strokes, at least it reads fluently. There’s nothing of value in it, it’s just a user guide, let me think about how to explain the contents to you..."
"Let’s see, senior sister, you can understand it as, the person who wrote this, created a very powerful Magic Treasure, a creation far beyond our current era, and then this bamboo slip book describes related matters."
"It doesn’t explain how to use it, nor what it is, only states the requirements for using it, just like a Jade Scroll in the Library Pavilion containing High-level Skill states, you need to reach a certain realm, or your physical condition needs to meet certain criteria to qualify for cultivation."
"This volume of bamboo slip book is basically such content, requiring certain foundations, education, experience, and received professional training along with which sect made this Magic Treasure, and whose handiwork it is."
"That’s about the content, so I personally think it’s not very valuable, and I don’t know why this thing can be called the biggest secret in the Cultivation World."
Though saying so, Jiang Feng’s hands did not stop.
The roughly homemade pen was tossed aside by him. Then he directly pulled a sheet of yellow paper from the desk, took up a brush skillfully, gently dabbed it a few times, then started naturally switching between Chinese and English, and with a built-in function to switch between simplified and traditional characters.
Very soon, the entire content on the bamboo slip book was fully translated by him in such a manner, fearing that his senior sister might not understand, Jiang Feng even thoughtfully provided a localized translation.
For example, "cybernetics" was directly translated by him into a Magic Artifact implanted into the body, with self-awareness, integrating with the body to share the spiritual Sea of Consciousness, achieving collective control.
For example, "microchips" were translated by him into fingernail-sized Magic Artifacts, with billions of woven lines embedded into the body like human meridians and acupoints.
He also slightly translated "linked neurons" and "artificial intelligence".
Though everything seemed rather exaggerated, Jiang Feng’s translation was actually not too far off the mark, all involved using the vocabulary most understandable to those in the Cultivation World, after all, modern technology, in the eyes of ancient people, was originally Immortal Technique.
No, describing it as Demon Art might be more appropriate.
Not to mention the ancients, even if someone were to travel twenty years into the future, they might find that by then society had already begun to exceed the limits, beyond an individual’s understanding range.
The most classic example would be someone incarcerated at the beginning of the millennium, coming out after serving more than twenty years, only to find that the world had completely changed.
Whether on the streets or in their every move, life’s things, including prices and various Void conversations, reflecting others’ faces from a palm-sized mirror, such overwhelming social maladaptation along with fear of the unknown, plus a flood of content filling their brain, leaving them unable to cope.
In the end, prisoners unable to integrate into modern society would either go mad, commit suicide, or find a remote and underdeveloped place to linger, attempting to return to the era they once belonged to.
