Deborah
The light screen was triggered by mental power, and words and images continued to emerge.
"Director Shang is indeed as vigorous and decisive as the rumors say."
Luo Fu was surprised at her efficiency and looked at it carefully.
Shang Jingyan demonstrated and explained at the same time, and Luo Fu nodded from time to time and said, "These are all very good ideas."
She remembered the old saying: Only children make choices, adults want everything.
It’s a pity that these two ideas have completely different focuses, and if they are forced to merge, their respective advantages will be lost.
According to the expert group's recommendations, dream work should only be performed once in a short period of time, otherwise it will increase the patient's vigilance and thicken the mental barrier.
So, they have to choose one.
Luo Fu asked Shang Jingyan to pass the document to her and said, "We still need to think about it. Ms. Shang, please give me a week."
This matter is not something she can decide alone. It requires repeated review within the team before making a decision.
Shang Jingyan nodded, Luo Fu stood up to apologize, and left in a hurry. The whole conversation didn't last long, and the tea in the cafe hadn't been served yet.
The dessert tasted very good, a flavor that Shang Jingyan had never tasted before. It might have used some local ingredients.
She poked a fruit ball gently with a fork, her thoughts rising and falling in her eyes.
[Hmm... I can see it again!] X71 felt that Shang Jingyan had released the restrictions and immediately rushed out, [This cake looks delicious. Was Yanyan talking to someone just now?]
[Yes.] Shang Jingyan answered with a simple word, [I have received a new commission. During the production of the commissioned work, I may... have to let you be "locked up in a small dark room."]
X71 didn't seem to react, and he uttered "ah" for a while before saying in a low voice: "Is that so... OK."
Shang Jingyan still has a deep affection for X71, otherwise he would not have explained it to it in advance.
She even felt a little guilty, like she had kicked a puppy. But this time, the people involved were too important, and it also involved the part of her memory that she had lost, so the most rational thing to do was to block the system.
X71 was silent for a while, feeling inexplicably that there was a void in his core.
It thought that for all this time, Yanyan had never hidden anything from it in any of her works.
Before that, from "Cthulhu" to "Light Years", X71 witnessed the birth process of all of Shang Jingyan's works in this world, and even knew the sources of inspiration for many tiny details that she would not tell in interviews.
It didn't say it knew all of Yanyan's creative ideas, but it knew about 80% of them, and she had never been shy about discussing with it. At those times, in front of Shang Jingyan, it was not a high-tech manufacturing system, but an equal friend.
Seeing her happy, it was happy too.
It’s all because of Luo Fu…
X71 felt like its "chip" was immersed in a liquid with a pH value less than 7, and the circuit was about to be burned out by the acid.
It seemed to experience a kind of human emotion again.
Is this what we call sourness? Humans describe jealousy as acidic, which is really a vivid description.
I really want to know what the human had agreed with Yanyan... With its ability, even if it can't find out everything, it can probably find some clues left on the star network.
——But, no.
Yanyan will stop it. She can block the mental tentacles that it is trying to probe out... More importantly, Yanyan will be angry.
It didn't want her to be angry.
X71 has never independently carried out such complex thinking in his life.
[Then if Yanyan has any information you want to look up, you can still ask me for help...]
[Forget it, it’s not that strict. Without you, my efficiency in finding information will be much lower…]
One person and one person spoke at the same time, and then they were both stunned.
They actually thought of the same thing at once.
Any kind of creation must be rooted in reality. How important is it for a dream builder to look up information?
As a system, X71 is best at finding the information Shang Jingyan needs, better than any artificial intelligence assistant.
[Okay, okay! I'll look up information for you!] X71 responded quickly, his tone rising, as if he was afraid that Shang Jingyan would go back on his word.
Shang Jingyan pinched the cake fork and burst out laughing.
Xiao Qiyi really looks like a puppy wagging its tail.
Her shoulders relaxed slightly, and an idea suddenly occurred to her mind: [I've thought of a compromise, but I'm not sure if it's feasible, so I'll give it a try.]
Shang Jingyan closed his eyes, immersed in the mental picture, and found the big black ball of wool and the small light spot.
How could she forget?
Since the system and X71 are different entities, theoretically, you can just block the system and isolate X71.
Before, she couldn't clearly sense the existence of the two, but now it's different.
Shang Jingyan's spiritual picture spread out in circles of ripples, emitting a glow like the warm sun.
An invisible fortress rose up from the picture, enclosing the big ball of yarn inside, fitting it tightly. It now looked like it was frozen into a huge iceberg.
[How are you? ] Shang Jingyan asked X71.
She was afraid that this would reduce the functionality of the X71. If that thing was actually the "host" of the X71, she would have to release it with regret.
X71 searched for himself and hesitated: [Hmm...it seems...the search efficiency has slowed down a lot, but the functions are still there. ].
It didn't quite know how to describe it to Shang Jingyan. It seemed as if it was born with those functions and there was no need to hesitate before doing them.
Now it feels like starting from scratch, and I’m stumbling a bit.
[That proves it's feasible.] Shang Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
[Great! ]
X71 cheered and jumped, the little light dot jumped, and circled around Shang Jingyan's spirit body. If X71 had a tail, it would have been wagging by now.
Shang Jingyan also curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously, finished the last bite of cake, and stood up with his hands in his pockets.
There was light snow outside the cafe. The night was dark in this time zone and few people were walking on the street. The night wind blew her scarf up, bringing out a little white mist from her mouth and nose.
[Let me talk to you about my creative ideas, and be prepared in advance. Do you remember "Turtle Soup"? At that time, I wanted to be a murderer...]
The two did not sign any contract during their first meeting. Two days later, Shang Jingyan asked a familiar friend to confirm that there were no problems with the documents before he wrote down his name and entered his biometric information.
In fact, with Shang Jingyan's current achievements, she accepted the commission for more than money, as long as it could arouse her interest. However, the other party was still very polite and the reward was very generous.
Everything is done in secret, and Shang Jingyan’s fans currently don’t know that their dream builder has received another big order.
After these two meetings, Luo Fu still did not exchange formal contact information with Shang Jingyan and was still communicating through an anonymous account.
Shang Jingyan speculated that it was probably to avoid being seen.
On the third day, when Shang Jingyan got up early, yawned, and opened the curtains, he saw a courier box lying quietly on the windowsill.
Shang Jingyan: “…”
She now suspected that the other party had directly sent an agent to take over the matter. This made her feel like she was in a movie, as if she had accidentally gotten involved in something big.
Shang Jingyan opened the window and looked around, but unfortunately he didn't see anyone.
She opened the express box in her room and found a crystal box underneath layers of protection.
It is made entirely of Dream Source Crystal. Through the translucent blue crystal, you can see the densely packed circuit-like engravings inside.
The attached document said that part of the patient's mental information and mental fluctuations were sealed inside.
It is like a "replica fragment" of part of a person's soul, and Shang Jingyan used it as a blueprint when creating the protagonist.
Although it was very unlucky, the three words "urn" flashed through Shang Jingyan's mind, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Shang Jingyan had heard that the concept of storing mental power in the Mengyuan Crystal device has not yet been realized and is only in the hype stage. He did not expect that he would suddenly come into contact with the real thing, which was quite incredible.
It is said that once this technology is fully realized, it will be more reliable than digital life and can achieve true "immortality of the soul", but I don't know whether it is true or not.
[We haven’t decided which one to choose yet, but Director Shang can come up with some ideas for the protagonist first.]
Luo Fu's message came at the same time.
Shang Jingyan temporarily blocked X71, and she curiously connected the mental linker.
In an instant, it seemed as if someone was "standing" in front of Shang Jingyan. At the same time, all kinds of information about this person's emotions, temperament, spirit, etc. also flowed in.
A kind and wise elder.
——This was the first description that appeared in Shang Jingyan’s mind within a few seconds.
However, this description is actually too pale and thin, and is completely unable to summarize the temperament of the other person that Shang Jingyan felt from the Dream Source Crystal.
Even with her high mental strength, she was impressed and fascinated for a moment.
The other person must be in a high position and have a strong leadership temperament. But at the same time, she is also approachable, or in other words, very friendly, and has a sense of responsibility that matches her high position.
She is very capable and tough at heart, making her a qualified politician. However, her methods are definitely aboveboard, and more importantly, her character is bright, so she has a bottom line when doing things.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is obvious that he is an official with high public support.
Mental power cannot lie. Just based on this Dream Source Crystal, Shang Jingyan is willing to vote for her.
Shang Jingyan couldn't help but wonder again, the other party's status might be higher than she had guessed before. She didn't think that an ordinary senior official could have such temperament.
Has any big shot in the league been in a coma for a year? I haven't seen any reports...
That's right, this kind of thing will definitely not be reported in the newspaper, and she is not yet in a circle where she can inquire about it.
This makes the previous agreement between her and the other party seem even more magical. How did they get in touch?
Now the guests of "Light Years" have started recording, but Shang Jingyan does not need to appear at any time.
Under the influence of this impression, Shang Jingyan quickly sketched out the image of the new protagonist.
She is over 60 years old, which is the golden age for a career in politics. She holds a civilian position, but she has a certain military background. She stands like a pine tree and sits like a bell.
Because of long-term mental activities, her hair turned white, and she did not try to dye it. She cut her hair short, just past her ears, which was the most convenient and easy to manage.
Her eyes are light in color, giving people a clear yet profound look. The wrinkles on her face show that she is kind and loves to laugh...
Shang Jingyan suddenly stopped writing, hesitated and went to the official website of the alliance, but stopped again.
In fact, she was not quite sure how much of this information was obtained from the Dream Source Crystal and how much was her own secondary creation.
Shang Jingyan sent a message to Luo Fu instead: [What is the name of the protagonist of the dream? ]
A name can reveal a lot of information. Even if it is just randomly chosen, it can also reflect the casual personality of the namer from the side.
The man on the other side hesitated for a while and said, "In the version given to us, it is called "Bo Er Le". But if Director Shang wants to show it to the public later, you need to replace this name."
Shang Jingyan: “…”
As calm as she was, she almost swore to express her surprise at the moment.
She seemed to know the identity of the so-called "patient".
"Bulle", whose full name is "Bulle Star", is the name of a very important star in interstellar culture, and is often used to symbolize power and justice.
The political celebrity most associated with this star at present is Deboller, the head of the Interstellar Alliance.
It is written in Debolle's biography that her parents named her after the star of Bolle. Many people on the Star Network also use "Boerle" to refer to this supreme leader.
She was born into a civilian family and had an extremely brilliant and outstanding resume. It is said that she was elected leader with an overwhelming number of votes.
In Shang Jingyan's memory, neither the "original owner" nor the people around him had a deep impression of Deboler.
However, the tradition of the leaders of the alliance is that they don't like to show off. The fact that the people of the star system are living happily is a full testament to Deborah's leadership ability.
Shang Jingyan had no idea how to digest this information. In just a few days, her life seemed to become magical.
Shang Jingyan: Should I be surprised first that “I” know the leader of the alliance, or should I be surprised first that the leader of the alliance is currently suspected to be in a coma? This is the question.
Well, now she really couldn't think of shirking her debt. It was a skill to make the leader of the alliance her creditor.
Luo Fu did not hide anything and directly said the name Boerle, because from her point of view, Shang Jingyan already knew who the patient, and her superior, was.
[Okay, I understand.] Shang Jingyan condensed thousands of words into these five calm words, but he felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increase.
Even in her previous life, she had never done such a responsible job!
She quit the chat, still feeling a bit uneasy, and started searching for information about Deble.
In the photo, the silver-haired woman is facing the camera, and her clear star-blue eyes seem to reflect the universe and the ocean.
A corner of Shang Jingyan's memory seemed to be touched. In the fragmented picture, he stood in a pure white spiritual realm and said, "It would be best if you could agree to my request. I will also..."
The remaining words faded away, unpredictable. But she finally saw the person opposite her clearly, it was Deborah, with silver hair and blue eyes, listening with a smile.
Shang Jingyan suddenly realized and returned to reality.
She released X71 and murmured: […I am such an amazing person.]
[Of course! Yanyan is always amazing!] X71 gave a firm reply.
Shang Jingyan rubbed his knuckles and his mood gradually calmed down.
Regardless of the ins and outs of the matter, she is a dream builder, and all she has to consider is to do a good job in every work. Whether it is the leader of the alliance or the ordinary audience, they should all be equal in her eyes.
She checked the time and casually wrote down two titles:
One is called "Red Pursuit" and the other is called "Pink Coming". The former is a crime film and the latter is a disaster film. Coincidentally, both names have colors embedded in them.
No matter which one Luo Fu finally chooses, she has prepared both outlines.
This was a subject she had never tried in her previous life, so she was very interested in it.
That night.
In Ao Qingxue's live broadcast room, "Light Years Love Song" is being broadcast on the screen.
In today's daytime variety show, the pink-clad NPCs announced that the snowstorm will soon subside and the guests can return to the villa area by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
This was definitely not good news for the guests, so they came up with many clever ideas before the final deadline, and even a pink-clad staff member was caught by the guests when she was left alone.
After repeated attempts, the three successfully "awakened" the NPC's memory and restored his consciousness.
Coincidentally, he was the guest of the previous show. Before being awakened, he had no idea who he was.
[I am now very curious, did Director Shang write a character biography for each NPC? ]
[Not everything will be shown in the show, Director Shang must release a sequel! ]
Through him, the guests also learned about the existence of the "Staff Code of Conduct".
He provided a clue, that is, the eliminated contestants of the dating variety show will be assimilated into pink clothes, but the final winner may not necessarily get a good result.
Without exception, they all disappeared. In his memory, they recorded the last episode individually, but no one left the villa.
"Based on my experience, Light Years will soon reach its climax and complete its secrets," said Ao Qingxue. "It would be better if it were longer. I feel like there is still a lot more to the world view."
Shang Jingyan is particularly meticulous in her work on details, giving the audience the illusion that "she only captured and showed a part of the world."
During the live broadcast, the guests reached their dinner break and discussed for a while in the barrage, which turned to family matters.
[I haven't seen Director Shang on camera the whole day. I miss her so much. 】
[Yes, the development during the day was so exciting. I also wanted to see Director Shang’s comments! Qingqing, do you know where Director Shang went? ]
Ao Qingxue thought for a moment, then pretended to lower her voice and "revealed" that "Yanyan has been staying in her room today. It seems that she has had a new inspiration."
She also asked Shang Jingyan during the day, and the latter said that she could explain to the audience the reason for the offline.
[! ! What, new inspiration, does that mean you’re going to release a new work? ! ]
[Just hearing this sentence scared me to tears.jpg]
As he was talking, Ao Qingxue heard some noise outside. It seemed that Yanyan had come out to eat. On a whim, he said, "Why don't I take you to secretly see Director Shang?"
[Okay, okay! ! ]
[The anchor I’m following is a teammate of my favorite Dream Builder. Oh my god, I feel like I’ve succeeded in chasing stars! ]
Ao Qingxue picked up the laptop and moved the camera to the backstage restaurant. She was very careful not to include anything related to work.
I saw a figure leaning against the window facing the back mountain. The young man was wearing a loose black coat and holding a bowl of instant noodles. He was in a daze and took a bite from time to time. There was a tuft of hair on the top of his silver hair.
Seeing Ao Qingxue, Shang Jingyan came back to his senses and took the initiative to greet the camera: "Good evening."
[Ahhh, today is Yan baby! Mommy loves you so much! Why are you eating instant noodles instead of eating properly! ]
[Shang Dao actually eats fast food, and she suddenly looks younger. ]
[What are you doing? Director Shang is not even 20 years old, hahahaha. ]
[Aho-maru is so cute, I declare that I am in love, my rivals, draw your swords! ]
Shang Jingyan didn't know that the comments were criticizing her. She quickly finished her instant noodles, threw them into the trash can and said, "I'm busy writing a new story today and don't want to work overtime tonight. It's a good opportunity. Why don't we just chat in your live broadcast room?"
She also wants to be willful occasionally.
The barrage of comments was full of enthusiasm, and at this time, the guests' night activities also began.
It is said that before they leave tonight, Cupid Lake will undergo a major change, and the pink-clad people may attack the guests. They are ready to strike first and then sneak attack the pink-clad people again.
A love horror variety show turned out to be a strategy war variety show.
The warm Cupid Lake during the day completely changed its appearance. The pink and purple rocks turned into a dirty gray color, standing up hideously.
The guests’ boats sailed on the water, drifting like leaves in the wind.
In the vast night, a thick gray fog suddenly appeared on the lake. Such a scene can bring a strong sense of depression, as if the whole world is left with only the small boat in the center.
The next second, countless jellyfish of all sizes rose from the lake, emitting pink fluorescence.
You can even see human remains in their transparent cavities!
[Ahhh, sneaking out in the middle of the night is definitely not a good thing! I hope all three guests will die here at once! ! ]
[Help! How was this set made? Check the producer's mental state.]
"Candles, light the candles! Turn on all the flashlights!"
After a brief shock, Wu Rui remained calm and shouted, and the other three people quickly moved.
From the rules of the dance studio, it can be inferred that candlelight and lights may be able to suppress monsters. The lights illuminated more jellyfish, and their pink bodies looked like some floating organs.
【I am terrified after watching this!!】
[We are clearly on land, but my fear of the deep sea is about to kick in! 】
White candles were lit one by one, and the flashlight shot out like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness.
Under the light, the jellyfish no longer fluoresced, but instead appeared pale white, looking more and more like the corpse of some monster.
When the flashlight was passed over it, the eyeballs inside the jellyfish's cavity rolled around and stared at it.
"Is this supposed to be alright?"
Qu Li's heart was pounding with adrenaline.
In everyone's imagination, the fire represents hope, and the jellyfish illuminated by it should move away quickly like insects burned by fire.
But who would have known that the next moment the jellyfishes would not retreat but advance, and actually approach the boat like insects chasing the light!
"What's going on?!" Qu Licong screamed without caring about her image.
【Ahhh, I want to ask what’s going on too! 】
[Why doesn't it work? Did I use the wrong method?! Did the guests misunderstand me?]
In Ao Qingxue's live broadcast room, Shang Jingyan said quietly: "How do you know that the rules will not be polluted?"
【ah? ! ! 】
The barrage of question marks and exclamation marks interweaves. If the StarCraft audience knows what "Cthulhu Terror" is, then they will definitely be able to describe the feeling at this moment -
Lose SAN!
It reduces the SAN value too much!
In rule-based ghost stories, the pollution of rules is also a fairly common setting.
It’s not like there haven’t been any StarCraft netizens who have discovered the little trap in the rules and raised this possibility.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, the shock was beyond words.
[Oh my god, there's a really pretty jellyfish in the corner of the picture. Is it the monster leader?]
【Really, it is "colorful white". 】
Shang Jingyan had just succeeded in scaring someone, and the corners of her mouth curled up, but the next moment when her peripheral vision caught a corner of the screen, her hand suddenly shook and she knocked over the cup on the table.
"Yanyan?" Ao Qingxue turned her head in confusion, because she felt Shang Jingyan's body tense up in an instant.
Shang Jingyan's lips moved twice, and her heart in her chest began to beat violently. It is no exaggeration to say that she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
——Everyone thought it was a show effect, but Shang Jingyan saw through it.
Shit, what's going on! There seems to be a real jellyfish monster mixed in among those virtual projections! ?
