Chapter 64 Chapter 64
Due to the strange behavior of an unknown monster, the big billboard became a blank board, standing innocently on the border between W City and the neighboring monster country.
"This paw print is still very fresh. It must have been made not long ago."
Ning Su bent down, picked up Zhuang Jingcheng's poster, and touched the location of the claw marks with his fingers.
The wind in the forest was not strong and there had been no rain recently, so the soil on the paw prints was still moist.
That is, the posters they put up were taken down not long ago.
Ning Su roughly calculated the time. From the time the poster was posted to today, it was about five days.
Although the specific time and frequency of the other party's appearance cannot be determined, it is certain that the location they chose is indeed a necessary path for the other party's monster to enter and exit.
Even if it is not a necessary pass, the other party can still receive messages from this place.
That's easy.
Ning Su thought about it, and after some preparation, he posted a new poster on the bulletin board.
This time, he did not use the standard poster produced by the program team, but designed new content himself.
The poster specifically introduces some of the products and their uses in the show, and also includes tutorials on how to participate in the live show and purchase items on it.
Ning Su was so attentive, first using the little golden dragon to attract the attention of the monster next door, and then he spent a lot of time to make a tutorial. He was so careful that it seemed like he was teaching a kindergarten child.
Even children, as long as they can read and have a mobile phone, can follow his method, enter the live broadcast room and buy the products they want.
"Wait, you want these monsters from next door to participate in the live show?"
Even though Director Lu himself was an old fox, he was still amazed by Ning Su's creative ideas and fanciful imaginations.
“Do they need to buy anything?”
After Director Lu asked this question, his mind suddenly flashed back to the scene not long ago where the monster next door used spiritual herbs to buy supplies in the store, and he couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
Yes.
These monsters next door are not fools. They just have the advantage of time and place, so they don't have to work hard to suffer the beatings of society.
But that obviously doesn't mean they won't enjoy it.
Who can escape the temptation of human artifacts? Even if we don’t need these items to improve our quality of life, we still need them for entertainment, right?
You know, no matter big demon or small demon, they will not practice every day, and because of their long lifespan, they are bored most of the time.
In the early years, in ancient times when entertainment life was not rich, there were many monsters who sneaked into human society for fun, not to mention now.
Even big monsters like Black Turtle and Tang Erbao find it difficult to resist the invasion of TV dramas and games, so ordinary little monsters are no exception.
Director Lu once even analyzed that some little demons are clearly self-sufficient, but they still have to come to work in human society. In addition to survival, they also have some social needs.
Of course, this idea just flashed through his mind. Most of the time, Director Lu did not make any comments on the ecology of the demon race.
but--
"Do you want them to come out?"
It is obviously just a beginning to strongly promote the live streaming program to the neighboring country, but what kind of impact modern technology and entertainment will have on the neighboring country is completely beyond our plan.
Director Lu could never imagine how the closed demon country next door would be changed by the lifestyle of modern humans.
"Of course not."
The neighboring demon country both protects and restricts the demons living there. Ning Su naturally doesn't want to disrupt the current order before figuring out what the situation is.
"I just wanted to give them more perspective."
Perhaps it was because the monster next door had never done anything bad, or perhaps it was because the other party was named after the ancient dragon monster country, and he was indeed a dragon, Ning Su had complicated feelings towards the monster next door.
Gradually, I even developed a sense of inexplicable responsibility.
Being self-sufficient and self-entertaining is great, but have the little demons living in the neighboring demon country ever thought about getting to know the outside world?
He wanted to provide another opportunity, but the choice of entering or exiting was naturally still in the hands of the other party.
However, the above is just Ning Su's unrealistic idea. The more practical thing at hand is only one purpose.
"I just want to make some money, what's wrong with that!" Ning Su said confidently.
City W is different from City A. In City A, it is humans who are rich. In comparison, the little demons are in a bad situation, so they need to learn from humans' advanced technology and management methods.
It’s different in W City. After looking around, it turns out that these monsters next door are the richest. But what business do the monsters do?
"……OK."
Director Lu wanted to say something, but was quickly convinced by Ning Su's logic.
After all, poverty is the whole demon bureau’s problem.
However, there is one last question that Director Lu has to ask: "Your tutorials are so detailed, but can they be used to buy things?"
This live-streaming variety show is the same as a real live-streaming show. In order to prevent fans from inflating data, payment is required after selecting the product before sales are calculated.
In this case, the other party needs a mobile phone, a delivery address and a reliable account.
Each of these three is a big hurdle.
You know, the monster next door is still only using spiritual herbs as currency.
“That’s a real problem.”
But for Ning Su, this problem was not difficult to solve - he counted the several shops that the monster next door had visited.
Each store has added a rental cell phone service.
In addition, Ning Su also greeted the owner of the shop and told him that if the mysterious customer wanted to use a mobile phone, he could do so. He also provided a reliable account for this purpose.
Director Lu: “…”
You are exaggerating.
Thinking of this, Director Lu even wiped a sweat for the monster next door.
It’s not that you have fallen into the trap of consumerism, but that the trap itself is too high!
At the same time, Director Lu also looked at Ning Su with a strange look -
If I remember correctly, those anchors who sell goods seem to be thinking the same way and trying to attract customers.
In order to attract customers to consume, some anchors can even use cross-dressing as a gimmick - wait, cross-dressing?
Director Lu suddenly saw a scene in which Ning Su turned into a dragon cub, wearing a floral shirt and waving a flag in his hand.
…No, it’s too cute, I can’t think about it anymore.
"Director Lu, Director Lu?"
"Director?"
Ning Su didn't know why his beloved leader suddenly fell silent, nor did he know what he was thinking about. A strange expression appeared on his face.
The marketing targeting the monster next door was just a casual thing for Ning Su. Although he thought of many ways and spent a lot of time on the arrangements, generally speaking, he did not have particularly high expectations for it.
Therefore, after arranging the mobile phone rental business and preparing a special account, Ning Su just agreed and said he knew it after learning that the monster next door had not come again.
"It doesn't matter."
Anyway, this was just an attempt made on impulse, and he didn't plan to get the desired result immediately.
At present, what is available to us are still variety shows that sell goods through live streaming.
He needs to work harder to sell the unsaleable goods of the little demons.
The end of August is the hottest period in W City. At this time of year in normal times, citizens of W City would stay at home and turn on the air conditioners. However, this year is a little different.
"That live broadcast program that sells goods has a live competition. Are you going to watch it?"
As the show was about to start, the residents of W City had their extra topics of conversation to discuss besides work and school.
"No, what's so good about it? It's just selling goods."
Although the banner is to help farmers, most of them are not businessmen or stakeholders, so why should they join in the fun?
"You don't understand this, do you?"
Those who know a little bit about this program shook their heads mysteriously and said, "This program is not that simple."
“They have lots of ideas.”
Sure enough, the live streaming program does not seem to want to waste this cast. What’s more, the guests are sincere in wanting to cooperate, and it would be a shame to the audience if they don’t do something.
Therefore, the live broadcast program generously turned the product selection meeting into a water park project.
"? What is this? Can someone explain the rules?"
Due to the unique appeal of the guests, the program attracted a lot of new viewers. These viewers knew nothing and might not necessarily buy anything, but the traffic they provided just by joining in the fun was enough to put the newly opened live broadcast room on the channel homepage.
The host of the program introduced with a smile: "This is for the two guests to choose the brands they want to promote."
All the goods selected for the variety show have been screened by the program team, but which guest will bring what has not yet been decided.
From the perspective of program design, since the two guests are competing in terms of sales volume, fairness is very important.
Bringing some obscure small appliances, of course, can't compare with some commonly used daily necessities -
For the latter, especially some items that can be hoarded, not to mention fans who are trying to increase sales, even some passers-by will buy some because of the atmosphere.
Therefore, how to divide the content of promoting products among the two guests has become a big problem.
Fortunately, there are many smart people in the program team. Since the program team's division involves fairness issues and they may be scolded by fans if they are not careful, it is better to give the selection opportunity to the guests.
In this case, whether it sells well or not depends entirely on the guest’s own cognition and vision.
Even if they make the wrong choice and lose, the guest team and fans will not blame them too much.
After the program team set up this segment, the tension of the live broadcast program suddenly increased. In other words, the competition between the guests started the day before the official live broadcast.
And because the program the day before only had two guests sharing products, there was plenty of time, thus giving the program crew plenty of room to stir things up.
"I remember that there was an episode where the guests were asked to take a test in order to determine the winner."
This episode about doing the test paper happens to be a masterpiece of the program team in keeping up with current affairs.
During that period, an artist who was known for his high education fell from grace, which made the audience curious about the cultural level of artists in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, in the next episode, the program team simply gave the two guests a set of math problems and asked them to answer them live, and the guests answered them □□.
Those were some fans who saw with their own eyes that their idols couldn't solve the questions and were scratching their heads.
In the end, the other party applied to do questions together with the fans in the live broadcast room. For an hour or two, the idol and the fans shared hardships and disliked each other, which was a classic scene in the entertainment industry.
Since the effect of this issue was particularly good, the practice of holding product selection meetings has continued.
Some people go to a haunted house, and some broadcast bungee jumping live. In short, the program team can always find interesting tricks.
“…Why do I feel like this issue won’t be easy?”
While the live broadcast room was full of comments, Ning Su and Zhuang Jingcheng were already there, and the program staff took them to change their clothes.
The clothes were prepared by the program team, and they are all close-fitting and waterproof.
Commonly known as non-transparent swimsuit.
"I think so too." After greeting Zhuang Jingcheng, Ning Su looked at the cloth in his hand and fell into deep thought.
While the guests were staring at the clothes in silence, the host in front of them announced the content of the show:
"Water Park: Challenge of Wisdom and Courage".
To put it in one sentence, there are several obstacles set up in the water park, and two guests race against each other, and the one with the faster speed wins.
Of course, generally speaking, the punishment segment of this kind of challenge program is more interesting than the passing segment. If you fail, you will naturally fall into the water and get soaked.
The barrage was silent.
After a while, someone finally posted a question mark.
"In the middle of summer, do you want us to have nosebleeds?"
"In the eyes of your production team, are we, the audience, such perverts?"
"If you want to bring goods, you want to bring goods. If you want to sell things, you want to sell things. If you want to help the poor, you want to help the poor. Do you need the guests to sell their sex appeal to attract customers?"
"Yes, we do."
Although the audience complained hypocritically in the barrage, the rapidly increasing number of barrages definitely showed their excitement.
At the same time, many people began to share the live broadcast link everywhere.
"Family, hurry up, look at the popular male star, he is so wet and seductive!"
Because this promotional slogan did not include enough blocked words, many links were blocked.
"?"
Come on, you are just a social media, not Green River Literature City, why do you have to be so sensitive?
Even though there were many difficulties in sharing the link, the rapidly increasing popularity of the live broadcast room was not fake at all. In just a few minutes, it reached the top of the site's rankings.
This speed of reaching the top is much faster than previous programs.
"It seems that everyone is still very honest."
Nowadays, who doesn’t like to see handsome guys, especially two at a time.
"It seems that our resistance is useless." The cheers of the onlookers and the support of the online audiences made the atmosphere of the program crew somewhat heated up.
In this way, even if the two guests have objections, I am afraid the program team will not change their original intention.
"Now that we're here, this is the only thing we can do." Ning Su was also somewhat helpless.
After all, they were once idols and actors, and they did have responsibilities. Even though they might not be willing to wear the clothes given by the program crew, after some hesitation, they both compromised.
However, after changing clothes, the two met each other and were both a little surprised.
"...Teacher Ning, you have been training very well."
It wasn't that Zhuang Jingcheng was deliberately complimenting him, but Ning Su's figure was far superior to that of any other person he had seen.
Zhuang Jingcheng himself was considered a semi-expert and knew that it would take a lot of time and energy to practice to Ning Su's level.
Of course, talent is also needed.
"It seems that the rumor in the industry that you will no longer take acting jobs is false."
Not only are fans worried about Ning Su's work situation, there are also many speculations within the circle.
At first, when Mountain Soul was at its peak, Ning Su's team did not take advantage of the success to take on the next job, and people in the industry said that he had other resources and plans.
But who would have thought that after two or three months, the other party still seemed to be at peace with the world, and many people began to worry.
Zhuang Jingcheng is one of them.
It was only at this moment that he saw Ning Su's physical condition, and all similar speculations in his mind disappeared -
How could Ning Su not take on a job when he is willing to spend so much effort maintaining his physical condition?
Since you have no hope of getting a job in the circle, why bother?
Ning Su noticed the subtext in Zhuang Jingcheng's words and was at a loss for words for a moment.
It's unfair, he didn't keep in shape by exercising.
If you have to talk about exercise, does it count as working with the business department to catch the little devil who caused the accident? This is running around in the fields.
After all, the reason why he can still maintain his current figure is entirely due to the benefits of being a great demon.
After all, some people felt that he didn't eat well as a cub, so they specifically looked for food to feed him.
Ning Su was not able to explain the reason for his physical condition, so he had to keep silent. In order to prevent Zhuang Jingcheng from discussing this topic in depth, Ning Su wisely changed the subject:
"Teacher Zhuang is also good at practicing."
The topic returned to himself. Zhuang Jingcheng nodded without pretending to be modest and said, "Yes, I spend about two hours on fitness every day."
As a male star in the circle, his body is his core asset. To be able to get to this point, Zhuang Jingcheng is naturally one of the best in terms of career ambition.
What is even more impressive is that Zhuang Jingcheng has a frank quality that makes people feel good about him when listening to him speak.
He is indeed a popular star.
Ning Su naturally also likes people who are honest and speak their mind without any pretense.
In the interaction between people, emotions are fluid. One can obviously feel whether the other person likes oneself or not. At least, Zhuang Jingcheng can feel Ning Su's kindness at this moment.
At least, this Teacher Ning really doesn't hate me.
This touched Zhuang Jingcheng, who had a poor relationship with people of the same sex.
Therefore, he took the opportunity to put forward his own idea: "Teacher Ning, can we compare our next projects?"
Even though Zhuang Jingcheng knew that the purpose of his trip was to repay a favor, he was still eager to try in the face of the upcoming struggle.
In terms of physical fitness, he is very confident in himself. Although he has never participated in the challenge of wisdom and courage, he is a sports enthusiast and thinks he will perform well.
If he is like this, Ning Su must be the same.
Moreover, the result of this part is actually not too important. It is just for fun. He wants to seize the rare opportunity to compete with Ning Su.
His cousin had too many opportunities to brag about Ning Su in front of him, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to prove himself.
"?"
Ning Su looked at Zhuang Jingcheng's eyes burning with fighting spirit, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
It's not that he doesn't want to compete with Zhuang Jingcheng, nor is it that he doesn't want to give it his all, but he is afraid that if he takes it too seriously, the water equipment won't be able to handle it.
At that time, if he accidentally broke something, it would be difficult for him to make up an excuse in front of so many spectators.
Zhuang Jingcheng didn't know what Ning Su was thinking. Seeing Ning Su's silence, he thought that Ning Su was not used to this kind of competition, so he comforted him, "Teacher Ning, don't be afraid. You are still young, and you can finish it if you charge."
Ning Su: “…”
If he rushes forward, he might not be the one to be killed.
The two changed their clothes, (Zhuang Jingcheng unilaterally) signed the challenge contract, and it was finally time to perform.
“Wow!”
"Handsome man in swimsuit, wet body, temptation."
The moment Ning Su and Zhuang Jingcheng appeared, the barrage of comments went crazy.
Due to some censorship standards, the two guests' outfits are not actually revealing and even look a bit conservative.
However, because of the exercise and the possibility of falling into water, this thin layer of clothing would stick tightly to the guests' bodies.
"Our Ningzi has a nice figure."
"It's over. Mother's love has changed color."
"No, our Ningzi, why are you still shy even though you are wrapped so tightly?"
Ning Su was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment.
When he was an idol, he wore some very revealing clothes for stage effects, but at that time, he put performance first and did not have any extra thoughts.
But today, seeing the densely packed little demons mixed among the humans at the scene, Ning Su was helpless.
You monsters, are you a little too fond of watching the fun?
It turned out that there were quite a few little monsters next to the lively crowd of onlookers - some were regular monsters of the Monster Bureau, who came specifically to cheer Ning Su up.
Some others simply heard the news and came to see Lord Ning, who has been very popular in the demon world recently.
The little demons originally wanted to come and admire the heroic figure of Lord Ning, but they didn’t expect that Lord Ning... was so sexy!
Seeing the pure and curious eyes of the little demons, Ning Su couldn't help but covering his face - no, if he played like this, how would he be able to be an official in the future?
Will the little demons still cooperate with his work?
Fortunately, the social dead time didn’t last long. Soon, after the host announced the rules, it was time for the official competition.
After the game of rock-paper-scissors, Zhuang Jingcheng won and chose to run first.
“…I knew it would be like this.” Danmu sighed.
Whether he was an idol or played games in the fan club, Ning Su had never won the game of rock-paper-scissors.
After Zhuang Jingcheng finished some warm-up exercises, he stood up, smiled at Ning Su, and stood at the starting line.
The barrage naturally could not miss the interaction between the two guests.
"They know each other? Why do they seem so familiar?"
"I'm not familiar with him. We've never worked together before."
"My kid is friends with a lot of people." Ning Su's fans came out to speak.
Naturally, the fighting power of Zhuang Jingcheng's fans is only high, not low: "Don't screw up your image as a popular person. Our Jingcheng is just being polite."
"If I don't show some courtesy to you now, you will be in trouble if I win later."
Just as Zhuang Jingcheng is confident in his athletic ability, his fans are naturally very aware of the strength of their idol.
Zhuang Jingcheng's athletic ability is indeed among the best among his peers. At the sound of a clear whistle, he ran out like a cheetah.
In an instant, two or three levels had been passed.
"Wow, that's fierce."
"How can this be? Is he a professional athlete?"
"Professional athletes aren't as fast as him, right?"
There was a lot of discussion on the barrage.
In fact, Zhuang Jingcheng did not find these events difficult. The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that the direction of the wind seemed to be a bit wrong when he was running.
On the other side, Ning Su used his demonic power to lead the vanguard to drive away the little demons who were lying on the equipment watching the fun, which gave Zhuang Jingcheng room to perform.
...I told you not to be so fond of watching the fun!
At this moment, Ning Su even felt that his tone was a bit like an old father scolding an ignorant child.
The little demons were driven away by Ning Su with gentle force, and left in embarrassment - they may have wanted to trip up this human, but since they were driven away, they had no choice but to leave obediently.
You can't do anything that will make Lord Ning unhappy.
The little demons were driven from the equipment on the water into the water. Some of them climbed to the top of the equipment rack for a better view.
"Come on, the view here is good."
Many monsters' eyes lit up and they followed.
"No, wait—"
Ning Su just realized something was wrong when he saw that the steel frame, which originally looked very solid, was shaking after the little demon was hung on it.
Zhuang Jingcheng was trying to pass the level and was about to reach the shaky steel frame. If he took another step, he would most likely be hit by the falling frame.
Danger!
Nothing can go wrong.
It only took Ning Su 0.1 second to make the inner judgment.
Currently in the live broadcast, Zhuang Jingcheng cannot be injured, and the little demons cannot be exposed. Moreover, in such a short time, it is obvious that others cannot save them.
Only him.
After making this decision, Ning Su did not hesitate and jumped into the water regardless of the host's shouting.
accelerate.
At the same time, a huge amount of demonic power had already stretched out, transforming into transparent tentacles, blocking the crumbling steel frame.
At this moment, Zhuang Jingcheng finally felt the accident of the props, his feet slipped and he fell into the water.
When he fell, he was stopped by Ning Su who swam over.
The next second, Ning Su and Zhuang Jingcheng swam away suddenly, avoiding the props that finally collapsed.
"What's going on?"
"Something happened? Damn, there's something wrong with the props."
“This is too scary!”
The accident happened so quickly that the audience only reacted after everything had settled.
"Ning Su rescued someone?"
"When did he go there?"
"I don't see anything!"
"Is the guest okay?"
The program crew was stunned for a moment before they realized what had happened and rushed over.
Fortunately, Ning Su delayed the time for the props to fall and rescued Zhuang Jingcheng. Apart from some damage to the props, there was no other loss.
Zhuang Jingcheng turned pale with fright.
Others may not know it, but he himself knows it very well. He was frightened and his calf was cramped in the previous incident.
If Ning Su hadn't saved him, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
"Thank you, Teacher Ning. This is the second time you have saved me." In an emergency, Zhuang Jingcheng's eyes turned red.
During this chaotic time, because the camera was always following the two guests, even when everyone else was paying attention to the safety of the program crew's props, some people still took advantage of the chaos to take a bite.
"… Is it my illusion? These two teachers seem to be a good match."
"The CP feeling is perfect."
For modern netizens, eating sugar is absolutely not a big deal and can be said casually. However, if it is seen by some monsters, they will immediately fly into a rage.
"What are these filthy humans talking about! What right do they have to insult the Dragon King?"
In the neighboring demon country, dozens of kilometers away from W City, several demons were also watching the live broadcast.
To Ning Su's surprise, the other party got a mobile phone from somewhere and learned how to watch the live broadcast.
"Calm down, calm down. This is just a joke."
"No, there are other stages to come. I must make Lord Dragon defeat this annoying human."
"…and his annoying fans."
Seeing that his people were still hesitating, the demon pleaded, "Although the Dragon Kingdom no longer exists, this is the only remaining Dragon King."
"Are you willing to let the other party be bullied?"
"...But this will expose a lot of our information."
Obviously, they do more than just trade with spiritual herbs.
The demon used his trump card: "If you successfully help the Dragon King win the championship, you will have a chance to meet the Dragon King. It is said that you can even shake hands and hug him."
You can also propose a condition that is not excessive.
"Don't you want to see the dragon king in his cub form?"
"?"
The hesitant demon was silent for a while, and then the other party handed over a mobile phone with online banking.
