Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1284 - 1283: Isn’t the New Character Unreasonably Strong?
Chapter 1284: Chapter 1283: Isn’t the New Character Unreasonably Strong?
"Ah, Mr. Lu, what are you saying?" The president feigned confusion, pretending not to understand what Lu Yang was talking about.
The Salvation Team and others truly did not understand Lu Yang’s words.
Lu Yang held his teacup, blowing away the steam: "Don’t understand, huh? Then let me change the question. Was the experiment conducted by the mad scientist that created Mutant Beasts thirty years ago really just an accident?"
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that?" Shi Lingyun felt that Mr. Lu’s question was bizarre, yet he always felt there was some connection between the two questions.
Lu Yang stood up and paced in front of the Salvation Team: "Lingyun, you come from humble beginnings and rose from the bottom because of your special physique. You have made rapid progress along the way, winning the Beauty’s hand, and though you’ve had troubles, you’ve always resolved them. Do you find your life incredibly thrilling?"
"Zhan Po, as the world’s top expert, you’ve experienced many ups and downs to attain your status today. Silent and reserved but respected by all, I’d imagine your image is quite popular."
"Tianxing, you come from a second-generation influential family but stick to your own convictions..."
"Yuan Xing, you mask your yearning for your wife with laughter..."
"Your stories behind the scenes are truly wonderful."
"Of course, the most wonderful is the director’s design."
...
"Shi Lingyun, having defeated the Weapon Expert, finally became the second-in-command recognized by the Salvation Team. With all members of the Salvation Team assembled, the seven Saviors challenge the King of Mutant Beasts. As for what the outcome will be, stay tuned for tonight’s ’Sky Sea Star Legend’!"
The preview for "Sky Sea Star Legend" played continuously on the big screen.
"Sky Sea Star Legend" is a hit TV series of the Interstellar Alliance, with scenes so realistic that even the most professional special effects experts could find no flaws.
With the impressive acting skills of the actors, unpredictable and tradition-defying plots, and ruthless when it comes to thrilling scenes, it rightfully holds the crown of TV series, consistently keeping a 20 percent viewership rating and a first-place lead.
For the Interstellar Alliance, with its vast array of entertainment options, this is nothing short of a myth.
The drama production is making a killing—just one advertisement slot costs a fortune, and merchandise is in high demand. Each character has their own fan club.
The Salvation Team’s battle against the King of Mutant Beasts is indeed the climax of the series, with conservative estimates predicting viewership could reach 30 percent.
"Who do you think will be the highlight this time? Will the cold-faced sword god Zhan Po make his breakthrough?"
"Hard to say, I think it’s Shi Lingyun. The scene where he absorbs the Enhancer hints that he might fully assimilate it during the battle."
"It might not yet be Shi Lingyun’s shining moment. Some big shot analyzed that the real King of Mutant Beasts is in the ocean—that will be Lingyun’s true opponent!"
Posts about "Sky Sea Star Legend" keep popping up online, the excitement of the audience palpable through the screen.
The director is busily organizing the drama team.
"Are the Nano Cameras adjusted properly?"
"Is the quantum communication channel clear?"
"Can we ensure that Shi Lingyun’s monitoring data is retrieved, so that he can break through during the battle?"
At this moment, the director is ecstatic.
Through "Sky Sea Star Legend," he has already become the undisputed number one director of the Alliance, welcomed wherever he goes, with the financial elite and influential families treating him as an equal.
But he is an artist with aspirations that go beyond this success—he believes tonight will be the pinnacle of his life!
He found the original, undiscovered planet Sky Sea Star, and by inputting everything about it into a quantum computer, he could predict the development of this planet. All he needed was to introduce a few variables based on the quantum computer’s results, and Sky Sea Star would change according to his wishes, making it flawless even in a live broadcast.
To him, money and profits are unimportant. Being labeled as a human trafficker for selling people, or reporting a new planet to the Alliance, he might at best receive an "Alliance Medal," which is so common you wouldn’t know the recipients without actively searching online.
"Sky Sea Star Legend" is different—it is a drama that will make his name immortal, an insurmountable monument in the art world.
Sure, what he’s doing is illegal, but shouldn’t art be unrestricted by law?
"Are we all set? Let’s begin the broadcast!"
With the director’s command, the climax of the drama went live across the net.
Nano Cameras focused on the King of Mutant Beasts, and according to the director’s plan, the sequence was designed to capture the oppressiveness of the King of Mutant Beasts, creating a tense atmosphere like the calm before the storm.
Then, the audience of the whole Alliance saw a traditional Sword Cultivator effortlessly pierce through the King of Mutant Beasts’ forehead, the entire process casually executed.
Director: "?"
Who are you?
The comments section and the bullet chat instantly exploded.
"Who’s this guy, appearing so abruptly!"
"Why is the costume and makeup department so careless, who in the apocalypse is spotless and still wearing ancient attire?"
"Is this a new character, how come there’s no foreshadowing at all?"
"This is the essence of the show, you can never predict what will happen next scene!"
"That kind of makes sense."
"Do you guys think this new character is handsome, like a carefree and casual swordsman?"
"Wait for the spin-off, he must have an exciting past."
From the audience’s comments, this new character was very popular, but the director didn’t think so.
Right now he felt like ants on a hot pan, he was having the quantum computer calculate this person’s actions.
"Hope nothing happens."
Then the Salvation Team and the new character clashed; the new character easily defeated the Salvation Team, and even Shi Lingyun’s breakthrough at the last moment was useless.
The audience could feel the despair and helplessness through the screen.
Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up, nano cameras covered the entire planet; even if Lu Yang flew to the sky, everything was captured clearly.
The Interstellar Alliance audience saw the new character, One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand, annihilated all the Mutant Beasts in one fell swoop.
"This special effect is so realistic, my home quantum computer would smoke trying to render such lifelike effects!"
"This person could probably rival the starfleet."
"Comparing virtual characters to real combat strength again."
"Do you guys think he could be an extraterrestrial visitor?"
"Can’t be, right? Introducing a new map near the end of the show?"
"Isn’t this new character ridiculously strong?"
"I get it, this kind of invincible character is definitely for plot progression, otherwise, there’s no way to continue the story."
The emergence of the new character brought a completely different experience to the audience; the viewership ratings shot up to 40 percent!
The director was in a daze, and the quantum computer only managed to conclude "extraterrestrial visitor" before smoking and giving up.
"Director, what should we do?" The cameraman and others looked at each other, they all signed confidentiality agreements, surely they wouldn’t leak the truth, but how should the story continue now?
The director snapped out of it, now was not the time to sit and accept his fate: "Send a message to the president, ask him to stall this person, gather as much intelligence as we can!"
"The nano cameras are less than one nanometer in size, this person definitely hasn’t noticed us yet!"
The president is part of the production team, all variables on Sky Sea Star are managed by the president.
At this moment, Lu Yang led the Salvation Team back in triumph; the president welcomed them warmly and ushered them into the office.
Just as the director heaved a sigh of relief, putting a cold compress on his face to cool down and plan the next steps, he saw on the big screen that Lu Yang was reviewing the Salvation Team’s past exploits.
"Your behind-the-scenes stories are really fascinating."
"Of course, the most fascinating of all is the director’s design."
Suddenly, Lu Yang turned his head, his face filling the entire big screen, talking to the director through the camera.
"You think so too, right, director?"
The audience was astounded, and the director felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
