Flammenwurfer8dReplied to SabonSeems like a reference to CN pop culture that most ppl there would know instantly. A bit like saying "he's basically Biff Tannen" and most ppl will get the reference
Fei Yangyang—no, Sun Ming.- Flammenwurfer22dReplied to Angela_Davis_6557
He's saying that any one of them could just kill him instantly
Whether it was a regular Python, a standard Alien, or a Python Alien, Tao Yu had a clear picture in his mind—that he could only take one hit. - Flammenwurfer23dReplied to Dread_Rabbits
Huh, so the math actually works out for once? 🤔
If the acceleration effect was condensed to one hour, that might only yield a five-hundredfold speed increase, the cost-effectiveness not suitable for Tao Yu's current use. - Flammenwurfer23dReplied to AlphonseDoomhammer
It's still more of an "indirect" benefit rather than an immediate aid in a fight regardless
Just looking at the three known abilities of Divinity, none seemed to directly increase combat abilities at the moment, but they represented limitless potential! - Flammenwurfer23dReplied to Wolfbrother444
Well if they have some basic stuff like toothpaste + lack of sugar in their diet + good genes, it's actually possible
The same grating sound of a door opening rang out, and a dark-skinned, capable-looking woman stepped out of the room. She saw Tao Yu and smiled, showing her white teeth. - Flammenwurfer23dReplied to YYDaoistzwff0N
It's a reference to an ancient Greek myth where a guy named Damocles swapped places with his king for a day, only to find that the throne had a giant sword hanging above it that could fall at any moment and kill him -- supposed to represent how unstable and dangerous being a ruler could be
The Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head in this world, the end of the endless realm. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Diddlykong
I mean, it's probably exactly what it sounds like....
Back in his room, he opened the package, and sure enough, there was a script box. The box was painted with the texture of an oil painting depicting a village shrouded in moonlight, every door and window tightly shut, no lights to be seen, like a pool of stagnant water devoid of any signs of life. In the distant background, a towering dark shadow emerged, seemingly confirming that the village was nestled within deep mountains. - Flammenwurfer1mthCommented
This was actually a thing in China. There was a mandate against horror movies with a "pure" supernatural cause for the horror, so they had to make do with Scooby-Doo style hoaxes in the movies instead
The middle-aged man sitting across the table slowly put down the manuscript in his hands and looked at the young man with complex emotions, "Yang Xiao, your script is well-written, but it's still that same problem. The market doesn't need a purely supernatural script. You should understand the current big picture, so..." - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to kill_zone58
Think of it like he's playing Dark Souls. Sure he's stronger and tougher, but even the weakest enemies could still do him in if he's careless
Although he was not clear on the exact number of goblins behind the altar in the so-called dark forest tribe, what he did know was that even the smallest among them could easily crush him to death. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Ronan_McCrossan
It might just be referring to the "mainstream" perception, which would be true if you view this as spanning centuries. There was a loooooong period in western cultures where "magic" meant the same thing as "heretic demonic sinner"
"In foreign cultures, the image of Wizards has always been synonymous with evil. But suddenly, in modern times, many novels, movies, and comics have emerged portraying Wizards and magic in a positive light." - Flammenwurfer1mthCommented
Ah yes, the Genshin model
"You don't understand!" the young boss waved his hands grandly, "What about the overseas market? The domestic game market is almost half of the global market. Once we conquer the domestic market, naturally, there will be people overseas begging to bring our game there." - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Deleran
Common translation issue, typically due to AI/MTL and a lack of editing afterward
"Giggle~," the young woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her narrow phoenix eyes squinting like a fox as she laughed, "Mr. Lu is exaggerating too much. I'm just following the trend. Wizard-themed games are selling especially well internationally now, and many people in the country have already started projects on this theme." - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to EasyFlow
To be fair, this guy's demons seem to be pretty literal....
But he had to do it, it was his only option. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Aeerax
Seems to be more like a boom/bust cycle for the deities. An era of excessive righteousness leads to a rise of suffering, which then becomes excessive in itself and leads to a resurgence of righteousness. This just happens to be the "peak suffering" era
The gods of this era seemed unable to resonate with the value of "happiness," and so, almost no god of entirely positive emotions was born, only those of negative and neutral emotions existed. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Thegreatdumbledore
Online app feature. Your friends can steal your fully-grown vegetables if you don't harvest fast enough
Feng Jun installed the application in order to please the boss of Hongjie. To be specific, he wanted to curry favour with the boss of Hongjie. Zhang Weihong liked to steal vegetables. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Lerato_Nyelele

Feng Jun was a guy who liked to read web novels. Actually, this choice was a last resort. He also liked pastimes like clubbing and so on, but those hobbies were too expensive. Reading was cheaper. - Flammenwurfer1mthCommented
For those not in the know, this is like someone complaining about "only" winning a $1 million prize when they could've gotten $1.2 million instead
Ronnie Williams glanced at Tommy Hawk, "Hey, Tommy, badmouthing teachers isn't what you should be doing, especially in front of another teacher. Miss Farell is here to gain some work experience at a public institution and, by the way, study for her bar exam. Of course, according to her, she did indeed attend a trashy college—she graduated from Cornell University, which she settled for as a safety school because Princeton did not accept her. She would have preferred Princeton, but had to settle for Cornell." - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to azunyan
Nah, it's the 80s. They'd use the good old fashioned black-tar heroin!
"Small business, a student's small business," Tommy replied with equal seriousness. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to azunyan
Just in time for the Gulf war? 🤔
But the crossed-over Tommy knew clearly that attending college was the only chance to change his fate. If he didn't go to college, his life would be the same as his father's—working in a factory in Rhode Island, or at a leather shop or auto repair shop as an apprentice, then spending the rest of his life cooped up in this small northeastern coastal border town of America, marrying a woman from a similar background, and struggling to feed his family until death. - Flammenwurfer1mthReplied to Ronan_McCrossan
Actually, in the 80s there was a ton of anti-Japanese sentiment due to the perception that they were overtaking the US auto/manufacturing industry and stealing people's jobs during their economic boom
Tony blew out a puff of cigarette smoke, "Nothing much, he just gathered a dozen or so workers, all angry about being unemployed like him, and smashed a Japanese-owned laundry shop. Only after smashing the place did they find out, the owner wasn't Japanese."
