Chapter 120 Famous Scenes Will Never Be Forgotten (…)
Silence fell over the scene.
After a long silence, Gui Gemu spoke, asking, "Yanlan, is this a notification from Director Yan or...?"
She glanced at the coat that Yan Lan was wearing, then swallowed the rest of her unspoken words.
"I understand," Gui Gemu said.
Yan Shi: ?
Although she didn't know why Guigemu seemed to have mistaken her for Yanlan, she had already achieved her purpose in coming to the Secret Service.
Yan Shi stretched and turned to leave.
After turning around and taking a few steps, she remembered a crucial point and stepped back a few steps to say to Gui Gemu, "By the way, the transfer notice will be sent out from the system tomorrow. Remember to clock in on time."
Gui Gemu had already sat down, her fingertips digging deeply into the chair. "Okay," she replied expressionlessly.
Yanlan seemed to have finally completed all her tasks, and happily walked towards the elevator and left.
Lu Jian glanced at the sign for the Confidential Affairs Department at the entrance and nodded to Gui Gemu: "Director Gui, no, Section Chief Gui. The Director of the Execution Department has work scheduled at the Summer Palace tomorrow morning. I've already notified him at 8:30 a.m.
Guigemu: "...What time?" she asked slowly.
Lu Jian: "8:30."
Guigemu: "...8:30 PM?"
Lu Jian: "8:30 in the morning."
“However, this is the deadline. I estimate Director Yan will arrive at 8:30.” Lu Jian twirled the tassel pendant by his ear and said sincerely, “I suggest you arrive before 8:10. I’ll send you the location later.”
Returning to the Pavilion: ...
A faint laugh came from the doorway.
Gui Gemu glanced at his colleagues watching the commotion at the door and sneered, "Since I'm the head of the executive department now, I can also bring some people to the executive department to be my secretaries."
The staff at the entrance scattered instantly.
Lu Jian shrugged and strode towards the elevator.
“My little darling,” Lu Jian called out, “wait for me! Tomorrow is Monday, remember to go to class at Zhanzhou!”
Yan Shi standing at the elevator door: turning around with a death stare.jpg
Yes, she knows she needs to work two shifts tomorrow, so please don't remind her of this painful fact!
---
It was just getting dark when Yanshi arrived home.
The door across from hers was unusually tightly closed, and there was complete silence.
Most of the time, whenever Lin Cai is home, she leaves the door ajar. Warm yellow light shines through the crack, casting a soft shadow.
Lin Cai should be in Zhan Zhou now; Gui Ge Mu personally escorted her in.
Yan Shi pressed the lock and thought.
Fingerprint recognition successful.
Yan Shi stopped thinking about these things and quickly opened the door and went inside.
I'll think about work tomorrow after I start work!
Back home, Yan Shi collapsed on the sofa and reached for his phone again, only to discover that "The Curse of the Laws" had been updated as scheduled.
And it's two episodes in total.
Since Kirina sacrificed herself to protect the world barrier, and an unknown manga artist took over, the manga has been updated very frequently.
Yan Shi clicked on the latest chapter.
[Wuhu is here!]
[Ever since the old thief changed his art style, he's been updating more frequently.]
Yes, and I prefer Yanlan even more. Every chapter features a grand scene, and every chapter features Yanlan in a prime position.
[Hilarious! Even the main characters in the center of the cover aren't as beautiful as Lan Jue Mei. That old thief really knows the secret to generating buzz!]
Yan Shi clicked on the cover art of the latest chapter.
This statement is a rare bright spot in the cover art of the Curse of Laws.
The overhead lights shone a bright yellow, illuminating the two kneeling figures in the center of the arena. Lin Cai supported herself with one hand on the ground, her stray hairs obscuring her face, only her tightly pursed lips visible. Libertas gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with one hand, the other on the sharp blade. Blood trickled down the blade.
Beside the ring, Yanlan, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt with the top two buttons undone, watched the two people in the ring with an interested smile.
Next to Yanlan was a woman with gray hair and purple eyes.
On the other side of the arena stood three young men and women, all staring nervously at the stage.
Besides these few people, there were many other students whose faces were obscured in the scene. They were gathered around the ring with their mouths wide open and their hands raised high.
The whole scene exudes extreme fervor.
As the comments on the screen pointed out, although the arena where Lin Cai and Libertas were located was in the very center of the image, their faces were more or less obscured. This resulted in Yan Lan, who was standing next to the arena, becoming the most complete figure in the entire cover art, closest to the center of the composition.
The brushstrokes are very delicate.
This looks a bit like... a gladiatorial arena or a ring? Yanlan appears to be the referee. Only referees can stand on the ring during a match.
Four new characters have appeared!
There are three, I think. One of them is a tiger cub. But the last time he appeared, he was lying in a cage in the center of the auction house (he hesitated, as if to say something).
[So exciting!! Unlocking a new scene and new clothes, my darling!! Lanlan's shirt buttons aren't fastened properly, is she inviting me to take a look? (resting her chin on her hand)]
Yan Shi was already used to the explicit comments in the bullet comments, and she began to scroll back without expression.
The story begins with a bright, sunny day, but the scene is not as realistic as in the previous chapters; instead, it features a vast sea of floating clouds.
Beyond the sea of clouds, a magnificent island floats in mid-air.
Suddenly, a strange, unrecognizable steel sailboat stumbled in from the clouds. It broke free of the clouds, then slammed on the brakes just before reaching the island's entrance, before flipping over and spilling a series of figures out of it.
The scene then zooms in, showing Lin Cai sprawled on her two large suitcases, face up, with a thin, long white spirit floating above her head.
"I feel so dizzy..."
Further up, there is a towering and solemn gate, and two large golden characters that read "Zhan Zhou".
[It felt like Lin Cai was about to shatter; her soul seemed to float away.]
[What was that just now? An open, oval-shaped metal lump with two triangular metal pieces stuck on top? How creative, uh, a means of transportation.]
Is this the magical world? (Tactical lean back)
But the airships of the Bureau of Alien Affairs and the merchant corps ahead of me aren't this color.
[This is what you didn't understand earlier; the things in the academy are naturally more advanced.]
It's also more unrealistic. There are reasons why some things haven't been put into mass production.
Lin Cai was dizzy for a long time before she slowly got up from the ground and looked at the senior who had brought them up: "Senior, do we have to take this boat every time we leave or return to school?"
Senior student: "Not really."
Lin Cai looked pleasantly surprised.
The senior calmly explained, "This is my final assignment for the Spirit Weapon Crafting class. If I don't accumulate enough points to buy my own mode of transportation, I'll have to ride on the alchemy and crafting works of the upperclassmen."
Seeing the surprise on Lin Cai's face gradually fade, the senior student added, "Don't worry. I'm not an exception."
"Most of us in our major are quite good at fighting."
Lin Cai: ...
She asked cautiously, "Senior, what's your major?"
The senior student put his steel lump into his storage space, rolled up his sleeves, and smiled: "I am a body cultivator."
Lin Cai glanced at the dashing senior and his obviously strong arms, silently gripped her suitcase tighter, and took a step back.
[Hahahaha, I knew that thing up front seemed unreliable]
[Lin Cai: Sorry to bother you, I'm suddenly not dizzy anymore]
[As expected of Zhanzhou Academy, what a hardcore one!]
It's hard to say that this senior wasn't chosen because of her fighting skills. Even if she knocks someone unconscious, no one can beat her.
Let's just ask if it's reasonable or not.
Lin Cai pulled her suitcase and followed her senior into Zhanzhou.
Surprisingly, instead of seeing academy buildings or students coming and going, the first thing you see upon entering is a dazzling overview of the otherworld region.
A fiery dragon, blotting out the sky, flew towards Lin Cai, passing through her body and igniting flames all around. Then, dwarves passed by, carrying boilers and hammers, clanging and clattering. Elves danced among the flowers, and demons traversed mountains and ravines.
A dazzling array of races passed by in turn, finally all leaving. The scene shifted to an ancient and magnificent architectural corridor, with the blazing sun pressing down from the ceiling. Yan Ju stood still, giving Lin Cai a cold, emotionless glance.
Then he walked towards her.
Lin Cai stood there, stunned, not yet able to react, when Director Yan, along with all the previous phantoms, had all disappeared.
There was an empty path in front of me.
The senior who had just brought her in had disappeared.
Lin Cai: ?
Wow, this must be Zhan Zhou's school entrance ceremony. It feels so real, so magical and dreamlike!
[The grand finale is Yan Ju, a member of the human race. Humans are the race with the decisive voice in this world.]
[That was from Yan Ju's biography; the old thief was lazy! He kept reusing scenes to draw something new for my wife!]
[Seriously, was Lin Cai just staring at Director Yan in a daze? I need to tell Lanlan, Lin Cai, you've changed!]
No, you don't understand. People always fall in love with the same face repeatedly.
Lin Cai stood there looking around without moving, when suddenly a laugh came from beside her.
A girl with black hair strolled over from the side, hanging up the phone as she walked.
"Lin Cai?" she called out.
Lin Cai: "Yes, that's me."
"Hello, I'm Chu Mengfu." The girl reached out and pulled on the handle of one of Lin Cai's suitcases, introducing herself.
"Welcome to Zhanzhou. I'll take you to the freshman dormitory."
Lin Cai's eyes lit up: "Senior Sister Fu Yunyun?"
Chu Mengfu said somewhat helplessly, "Yes, but in the academy, you should still call me Senior Sister Chu."
"Go straight ahead, the school that's picking up the new students at this time today should be Kang Le. They drop people off at the gate and leave, they're really quick."
Lin Cai jogged a few steps to catch up with Chu Mengfu: "Senior, I see today is the first day of registration, but why does it seem like there's hardly anyone in the college?"
Chu Mengfu yawned: "Oh, you're late. The students from the other world all arrived a couple of days ago."
Lin Cai's eyes widened: "You can actually arrive at school early?"
“Of course.” Chu Mengfu turned around and pulled Lin Cai back. “You’re going too slowly. I have some things to do later. How about this, I’ll give you a ride.”
Lin Cai's vision blurred as a large amount of black mist enveloped her, and she heard the whistling of the wind. Then the mist dissipated, revealing a complete student dormitory building and students of all kinds coming and going.
"Your dorm is 219." Chu Mengfu handed Lin Cai two suitcases along with her student ID. "I'll send you the important information via telepathy later. See you later."
Lin Cai: Looking completely bewildered.
[Senior Chu really comes and goes quickly!]
Like a gust of wind
To be fair, these pages are all very well drawn. Especially the scene where Lin Cai enters Zhan Zhou's illusion, it's incredibly lifelike.
Moreover, judging from these words, Chu Mengfu is quite responsible.
After all, she is currently the uncrowned queen of the world's top students at Zhanzhou School, and also the top student in the fourth year. It's already somewhat surprising that she would take the time to pick up Lin Cai herself.
Lin Cai is not the only student in the first grade who represents the world.
Yan Shi quickly flipped through the pages.
The following pages detail Lin Cai's initial experiences upon arriving in Zhanzhou. The protagonist's expected revenge and reversal of fortune are present, as are encounters with acquaintances, rapid integration into the environment, and the subtle emergence of a leader.
It's very rare to find a young manga.
Lin Cai in the comic also embodies the typical personality of a shonen manga protagonist: cheerful and enthusiastic, cautious yet bold in handling matters.
There is one question, which is what Yan Shi is currently pondering and searching for.
Isn't Lin Cai a child who grew up in the outside world?
Although her mother, Su Jiefan, is a former member of the Mithril Merchant Guild and a wanted criminal by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, Lin Cai is a genuine, pure, and normal person who grew up attending school in the outside world.
They even have his report card. His fighting ability is completely unreasonable.
Yan Shi stopped after turning to the next page.
She slowly tightened her grip on the phone.
I don't know who the new cartoonist is, but I do know what the problem is.
Lin Cai not only witnessed her getting into a fight with a colleague on her first day at work, but it was also drawn into a comic!
Author's Note: Seeing me at this time, aren't you surprised? (giggles rose)
Perhaps you could check out my upcoming pre-order for this book, which will be published alongside this one? I wrote a short story to lighten my mood; I already have drafts for this one (smug).
Click to see the domineering CEO and her mom during her most immature and chuunibyou (not really).
Returning to my mother's childhood
Wen Shian's life has been smooth sailing since he can remember.
A wealthy and family-oriented father, a mother who died young but remains a cherished memory, and a woman who has been a potential CEO since childhood.
Wen Shi'an's biggest idol is her mother, Wen Xu. Wen Xu is both a benchmark she can never surpass and a source of regret for her.
She knew her mother used to be a journalist and had attended many international conferences. In the video, her mother's eyes were bright, sparkling, and radiant.
...
After an accident, Wen Shi'an woke up to find himself in a chaotic shack area littered with rubble. The air was thick with the acrid smell of rotting corpses, and he could hear muffled sobs and the occasional gunshot.
Before Wen Shi'an could react, he was lifted up by the back of his neck and carried through the entire shed area into a tent.
Then she was thrown in front of her mother, whom she had just seen in a video yesterday, when she was a child.
Wen Shi'an: ?
She slowly turned her head to look.
Behind her stood a man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a buzz cut and stern features. He said impatiently, "Wen Xu, keep an eye on your men. The air raids are over, but there will be smaller attacks."
Her mother, with her hair casually tied in a small bun, crossed her legs and lazily flipped through a camera. Hearing this, she impatiently raised her eyelids and said, "Dai Heng, don't just pick up random people from the ruins and send them to me. I'm not a garbage dump."
Dai Heng: "The innocent-looking little girl who appeared in these ruins, she can't be your person, can she be a refugee?"
Wen Shi'an called out slowly and tremblingly, "Mom, Dad."
Wen Xu: ?
She sprang into the air: "Dai Heng, the people you're picking up are getting more and more outrageous. They're even trying to stage an accident!"
"I've only ever been in relationships, but I've never had a kid as big as you!"
