Villa Witch
This food program group is called "Galaxy Wandering Kitchen". It is a veteran program group in the Exiled Galaxy. It has made countless restaurants famous and is currently in its tenth season.
It commented under Shang Jingyan's post: [You are making a very new kind of food. Is Director Shang interested in directing a variety show here? (dog head) PM me for details.]
Shang Jingyan was deeply impressed by this program because she used it to kill a lot of time when she first came to this world, and it was through it that she learned that V059 was rich in seafood.
The reply from this floor:
[Hahaha, are you serious? Don’t you have a director in your production team? ]
[So you guys are also watching Director Shang’s works! I caught you. ]
[Our director Shang has never been in a variety show, how about being a guest first? ]
The production crew was half joking, and I don't know if it was true. A variety show like this, which has already set the tone and built a good reputation, will not easily change its style.
Shang Jingyan decided to chat directly and sent a question mark: [? ]
The other party was obviously waiting for her, and replied immediately: [Hello, Director Shang~ (Rose)]
Shang Jingyan: [I have never done a variety show, so I am afraid I am not qualified to accept your invitation. ]
Not only in this life, but also in the previous life.
Xinghe Wandering Kitchen: [Haha, actually I’m not really a variety show director! I can say I’m a guest. We are currently planning the next season of the show and are looking for participants.]
A document was sent to him from the other side. Shang Jingyan clicked on it and saw that in order to increase the audience's sense of freshness, "Galaxy Wandering Kitchen" decided to invite a dream builder to design a small kitchen with his own unique style in each episode of the 11th season to attract customers, and compete in the last episode to see who has the highest turnover.
The final winner will get the right to lease a private starship for three years, which means to go wandering, as well as the program team's exclusive "Galaxy Wandering Chef" Meng Yuanjing trophy.
This kind of program format may sound interesting at first glance, but it places very high demands on the selection of guests. The first and foremost point is that they must have a very distinctive personal style.
——Although Shang Jingyan is a newcomer, her personal style is quite strong and unique in the entire galaxy. It is not surprising that the program team would think of her.
Xinghe Wandering Kitchen: [So, Director Shang, are you interested? (selling cuteness.jpg)]
Shang Jingyan likes to challenge new and unknown things, so after hearing this, he was indeed moved.
She didn't say yes or no, she just asked: [Who have you invited so far? ]
[To be honest, I'm not going to hide it from you.] The other party is very single, [In addition to you, we also plan to invite Teacher Yun Yongxue. We also asked several other well-known dream builders, and the answers they gave were rather ambiguous.]
Shang Jingyan: “…”
"Planning" means that she hasn't been invited yet, so she is the only one!
Moreover, Yun Yongxue only recently came to the Exile Galaxy, but the editing date of the document sent to her by the program team showed that the creative idea of this season had been approved just after the end of the previous season last year.
In previous years, "Starry River Wandering Kitchen" would start recording in July and August. It seems that if they cannot invite enough guests before then, they will give up this plan and adopt the conventional form of filming such as visiting stores as in previous years.
Shang Jingyan also understands the concerns of other dream builders. If it was just "designing a kitchen" that would be fine, but the creativity of the program team lies in "designing with their own unique style". How to convince the audience that this style is their own?
Looking at the Exile Galaxy and even the entire interstellar space, the mainstream theme is "love", and most of the developments can only be based on this.
All she could think of when it comes to love themes is the difference between a "broken-hearted restaurant" and a "passionate-love restaurant", and at most a difference in era and style.
Or, you can incorporate this detail into your masterpiece - then it will become a derivative theme restaurant of the work.
I'm afraid that in the end, the restaurants designed by everyone will be more or less the same, and it will all become a competition of popularity for each dream builder.
But if there is no such restriction, why invite only dream builders? Wouldn't it be the same to invite celebrities as before?
So overall, this seems a bit useless from a creative point of view.
Shang Jingyan couldn't help but sigh: [Is the creative person who came up with this plan still employed? ]
The other party was silent for a few seconds, and then said: [This is what our little boss thought of. The big boss just told him to give it a try. In fact, the big boss himself is still preparing another conventional route. Director Shang, in order to support our little boss's creativity, please be merciful and agree! ]
Shang Jingyan began to feel something was wrong. Why did he start talking to her about internal affairs so openly? And this official account was too lively.
She couldn't help but ask: [This little boss you are talking about, could it be you? ]
This time, the other party was silent for a longer time, and sent her an expression that said "You are so predictable": "Yes, I confess. I am not a staff member, I am just the boss. Don't let my mother know. I will delete this chat history, please, Director Shang (wiping tears). 】
Shang Jingyan: “…”
I couldn't help but start to doubt whether the person on the other side was actually an adult.
She checked on Star Network and found out that the investor and director of "Galaxy Wandering Kitchen" is named Dream Builder Qin, and has a son named Qin Xiao, who is a well-known second-generation star in the Exiled Galaxy entertainment circle, but he is not good at anything and has a bad appearance.
[I'll think about it again.] Shang Jingyan's thoughts were immediately extinguished.
opposite:
[Don’t be like this, Director Shang~~~Director Shang~TOT, my mother has already promised me that if I can invite someone, she will still be the final person in charge! ]
[Our program team is very good! They are also generous in the invitation fee~]
【Director Shang...】
Shang Jingyan was in a trance and saw a low-profile version of You Yao, who was not only talkative but also fond of coaxing and persuading. She never fell for this kind of talk, so she simply ignored it.
However, Qin Xiao's words "the person in charge is still the original boss" made her hesitate a little, and she decided to put this invitation on the list of considerations.
She exited the computer, leaned back on the bed, closed her eyes, and entered her own mental picture.
This is a habit she has developed recently. She would check the condition of the tentacle every day before going to bed and when she wakes up.
The home in Shang Jingyan's mental picture was originally her previous life's home, the villa she designed herself.
In Lan Heyue, after buying a new house, she turned the new house into the same appearance as before.
In this way, there is no need to use scenes in the mental picture to recall the past life.
Now, her spiritual realm was half dark and half day, with fields of soft meadows under the blue sky and stars.
A river runs through the grassland, the upper reaches are sparkling with golden light under the sunlight, and the lower reaches are dyed frosty silver by the moonlight.
In the center of the picture is a glass greenhouse. She put the tentacle of the unknown creature in a glass jar and placed it in the greenhouse.
In her own vision, Shang Jingyan was no longer a ball of light, but a human figure like the one outside. She lifted the glass jar and shook it. The liquid in the tentacles that contained Wei Wenbing's emotions had completely evaporated, and the tentacles were dry like jellyfish skin.
In fact, it did not look like this when it was dead originally, but after Shang Jingyan made some "small attempts", it withered quickly.
Her attempts mainly consisted of playing horror movies for it and watching horror movies herself and then putting it aside.
The former has little effect, but in the latter case, it reacts extremely strongly as Shang Jingyan's emotions fluctuate with the tension and fear of the film.
It is basically certain that this jellyfish monster is born from human emotions and likes warm and positive stimulation.
Shang Jingyan now vaguely guessed something, but he didn't tell anyone and just kept it in his heart.
Only in the mental picture would she show a thoughtful look. Here, she was truly alone.
She put down the glass jar, put her hands in her pockets, followed her heart, and in the blink of an eye she arrived at the edge of the grassland.
——After witnessing that terrifying moment, Shang Jingyan tried to explore the edge of his own mental picture.
Strangely, the periphery of her mental space was not darkness but pure white, the only similarity being that it was void of anything.
She now has to patrol every day to see if there are any jellyfish monsters in the void. She will feel relieved only after confirming that everything is safe. Fortunately, her mental strength is strong, so it doesn't take her too long to do these things.
Shang Jingyan finished his patrol and opened his eyes. Only fifteen minutes had passed in reality.
She noticed that there was something new in the system panel, and when she looked closely, she was stunned.
[Current heartbeat value: 500,000.]
[Current achievements: rising star of literature and art. ]
[Ding——The redemption system is open. Currently redeemable items: appearance improvement (calculate the value by item); candy that reminds you of the sweetness of first love (worth 1,000 points); heart-thumping bonus when dating a lover (worth 500 points)...]
Shang Jingyan slowly typed out: [? ]
Does this look like what she needs?
X71 was very embarrassed: [After all, my theme is bound to the current plane, and the theme is set to [love] based on the plane, so the props are all related to love...]
Shang Jingyan had the urge to hold his forehead: [But didn’t you tell me at the beginning that your purpose was to [cultivate literary masters]? ]
Even if he is a literary master of love, this is not the way to give out props, right? If all of them were redeemed, the final result would be that the dream builder himself would be obsessed with love and unable to extricate himself.
X71 also hesitated and asked stupidly: [Yanyan, you are right! Yes...how could this happen?]
Shang Jingyan browsed through the speechless list and finally found something that might be useful -
[Spiritual Space Expansion (1 Spiritual Cube/10,000 Points): As the name suggests, you can use your heartbeat points to exchange for spiritual vision space. 】
Compared to the other items, the price of this one is simply shockingly expensive.
The size of the mental picture symbolizes the level of a person's spiritual power. Generally speaking, it increases as a person ages, but is basically fixed after the age of 20.
Being able to expand the mental picture means that the level of mental power can be improved simultaneously. For a dream builder, this is tantamount to cheating. No wonder it is sold at such a high price.
Shang Jingyan is now wary of anything related to love, including the system.
However, her intuition told her that she shouldn't worry too much about X71. It was more like an artificial intelligence installed in the system, and it was not completely consistent with the system.
She thought about it for a few seconds, but decided not to try to redeem it.
After reading the comments, Shang Jingyan flipped through his private messages and saw an anonymous unread text message.
[How is your contact with Su? ]
It still has no beginning or end, the style of the real group.
Shang Jingyan replied in aloofness: [Progress is ongoing, please do not disturb. 】
Su Tong frequently travels back and forth between the main galaxy and the exile galaxy. Shang Jingyan has been in close contact with them during this period, and everyone has witnessed it. Although the outside world still does not know Su Tong's whereabouts, the Zhenwu Group has its own channels and must have known it.
The other party's tone seemed a little more humble: [Well done. I won't bother you anymore. We will eventually find our way back to flying.]
Heart of roses.
Wei Wenbing finally played in the Chinese haunted house he had been dreaming about. He was radiant after he came out. He said in the group: [You must come and experience it if you have the chance! The hair ghosts inside are so realistic that when they hang down on your face, you really think you have entered the "Rouge Comb". The two tourists in front of me were so scared that they ran away...]
He didn't use a wheelchair this time - Wei Wenbing didn't have any leg problems, he was just too weak, so he needed a wheelchair to move around. The spirit lamb was lying on his shoulder, bleating loudly when it was frightened the whole time.
Wei Wenbing's mental strength is recovering at an astonishing speed. After measuring him with professional instruments, the medical team found that his current mental strength value is over 50, and will soon reach the normal minimum standard of 60.
Blue River Moon.
Shang Jingyan received Su Tong's thanks and money transfer again. The domineering boss's way of thanking was very simple, which was to send money, cooperate, and send money again.
She felt that the people on Su Tong's personal medical team looked at her as if they were looking at a rare species. If it weren't for Su Tong, they might have grabbed her and asked if she wanted to cooperate with the research.
The cooperation with the haunted house has been put on the agenda and will start to be promoted today. Shang Jingyan stretched herself and felt that she saw small money coming towards her. The world was very beautiful.
She slacked off for a rare day. At night, she scrolled through her laptop and clicked on Pei Yi's voice message: "I'm here. Let's go."
Shang Jingyan stood up and opened the door. Pei Yi was standing in front of the door, holding a box of snacks in his hand. This man always dressed very homely. At this moment, he was wearing a light brown sweater with a casual long shirt underneath.
——With Wei Wenbing’s example in mind, Shang Jingyan wondered whether he should give Pei Yi treatment as well.
Because we are friends, it is not easy to open up because it touches on his privacy and scars.
So she decided to use a haunted house tour to bring up the topic first. Not the haunted house at Rose Heart, but the newly opened branch of Blue River Moon. Xue Jiang's haunted house was a huge success and had firmly established its foothold in the group. After that, she immediately launched haunted house branch projects on all habitable planets in the Exile Galaxy.
"Why did you bring souvenirs?" Shang Jingyan asked as he took the box.
Pei Yi smiled and said, "You invited me to play in the haunted house, so of course I have to give you some gifts in return. Besides, I have nothing to do at home, so I like to cook."
Lan Heyue’s first haunted house is a derivative of “Teaching Building No. 18” and was directly converted from an abandoned school in the local area.
That was an old building before the development of the tourism industry in Lanheyue. It was as dilapidated as it could be. Xue Jiang was also very good at marketing. He deliberately released some "supernatural stories during the construction of the haunted house". Although there were scientific reversals in the end, it still aroused the curiosity of tourists.
The two got off the aircraft and stood in front of the old school gate. Even though there were many tourists creating a playful atmosphere, the eerie atmosphere still hit them all of a sudden, especially since it was still night.
Shang Jingyan did not participate in the design of the haunted house in the ghost school, so the contents inside were unfamiliar and new to her. But she had no problem walking through famous haunted houses such as "Chang 0 Ghost School" in her previous life, so she was not afraid of it now.
"It's just the two of us. Do we need a group of tourists?" Shang Jingyan asked. She vaguely remembered Pei Yiyou saying that he was timid.
Pei Yi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "No, I want to challenge myself."
As a result, less than ten minutes after she entered, Shang Jingyan felt something furry fall on her head and get caught in her hair.
Shang Jingyan thought it was a part of the plan, so she reached out and pulled at it a few times, ready to catch the monster. Unexpectedly, she pulled a rabbit off her head... which was trembling with fear.
Shang Jingyan: “…”
Why did Pei Yi's spirit come to her?
Main galaxy, Qingse Xue live broadcast room.
[Anchor! Have you seen the news? Director Shang’s haunted house is coming to the main galaxy! ]
【And it’s a collaboration with Su’s Culture and Tourism. Oh my god, this is better than I ever dreamed. 】
[Director Shang is really amazing. He has just debuted and has already cooperated with an offline cultural and tourism group of the Su family’s level...]
"I saw it! And I have already reserved the ticket as soon as possible." Ao Qingxue chuckled, causing a lot of envy and jealousy [Anchor, your hands are so fast that you can actually grab it].
Su's Culture and Tourism is also a well-known enterprise in the entire main galaxy. Once its collaboration with Shang Jingyan became a hot topic, it attracted several times more attention than the last time when Yun Yongxue was on the hot search.
The public in the main galaxy might forget about this news after reading it, but fans are all somewhat familiar with Shang Jingyan: this newcomer from the Exiled Galaxy is amazing, and he won the favor of Yun Yongxue and Su as soon as he debuted.
Ao Qingxue is going to live stream today and is preparing to follow "Infinite Heartbeat" with everyone. Before that, she is also live streaming and drawing fan fiction about it, which is about the blizzard witch she imagined.
As a newly launched drama, after two updates on the first day, "Infinite Heartbeat" will air another episode on the second day.
——And considering the length of "Infinite Heartbeat", Shang Jingyan also sent a notice during the day, telling the audience that the show will be updated 1-2 episodes per week in the future. If the episode on Saturday does not have too many highlights, an additional episode will be added the next day.
This ensures both the rhythm and the excitement.
However, in the eyes of the audience, it is just: Damn, Director Shang is such a good woman at keeping people in suspense!
As soon as midnight arrived, Ao Qingxue immediately put down her pen and said, "Let's start! We'll draw later. Now let's catch up on the drama."
When Lan Qing looked up at the end of the previous episode, the audience expected to see a shocking scene, and it turned out to be a good one.
The fat man is dead, and that blood dripping from the ceiling is his blood.
His entire body was entangled in something like a white spider web, hanging upside down from the ceiling. From the exposed limbs, it could be seen that half of his body was burnt, as if corresponding to the flame of the lighter.
Even though he handed over the lighter, he still lost his life!
[@姜新冬, your job is here. Can you make chocolate rose jam? ]
[Ahhh, the thing ahead is poisonous! ]
[It’s so funny, Xiao Jiang waited until the food was melted before eating it last time, this time it will really be a waste of food!!]
In addition to screams, there were also comments cueing Jiang Xindong and making memes, because Ao Qingxue and Jiang Xindong had just followed and interacted with each other not long ago, so they got to know each other based on their common love for Dream Builder.
In the scene, the remaining trial participants also came out one after another, screaming. The veterans took the lead, and everyone cooperated to put down the fat man's body. The white spider silk wrapped around him was extremely flexible and sticky. The heroine couldn't cut it with a kitchen knife, and it took a long time to burn it with fire.
[Is it the white spider masked man in the previous trailer? ? ]
[I thought of that, too. The two types of spider silk have similar shapes! ]
[But from the trailer, although it doesn't appear in many scenes, it can be seen that it is like a beast with low intelligence, and can only bite and spit silk. But the "thing" that killed the couple can use tools... God, how many monsters are there in this villa?! ]
Three people were killed in just two days. Fear followed them everywhere. At the breakfast table, everyone found a note under the vase, which read "Witch's Delicious Soup"!
The radio was smashed, but the horrible recipe reappeared in front of everyone in another form, like a horrible prank.
The driver among the trial participants finally couldn't hold back and started crying, because she was the one who wrote the third sentence in the recipe: "It wants my gloves... Will it help if I give them to it? Someone come to save me, someone come to save me!"
She is not a newcomer but a veteran, but her collapse was still reflected on the screen. Ao Qingxue couldn't help but think about it and felt sympathetic: "This game is too scary. If it were me, I would probably be unable to do anything except collapse and wait for death..."
In this situation, it is even more precious to have someone who can still think. Among the newcomers, only Lan Qing and the general remained calm.
"We can't just stay passive all the time. We should take the initiative." Lan Qing's voice was steady and low. "The trial field can't be that friendly to us... Even if it's just an additional question, I think if we want to survive, we can't not know the secrets of the Witch Manor at all. Otherwise, how can we know the opponent's weaknesses? How can we avoid being killed?"
She took the page and analyzed it. "I wanted to mention this yesterday... Doesn't the tone of the narrator of this witch recipe sound like that of an underage girl? Perhaps it can be considered a clue."
At this moment, a scream was heard from upstairs and everyone rushed to see.
It turned out that there was a trial-taker who always felt that someone was peeping at him in his room. When the light became clear during the day, he found a gray-yellow, human-shaped shadow vaguely printed on his wall.
The crowd broke down the wall and dug out a corpse from it.
The body must have been almost completely decomposed before it was buried, otherwise the smell would not have been concealed for so long.
But after it was dug out, it still smelled foul.
This is the body of a woman, probably in her 20s. Judging from the jacket she was wearing, she was a traveler. The fatal wound on the woman's body was on her neck, as if it had been broken by a huge external force.
There was also a travel backpack built into the wall with her. Lan Qing opened it and found a diary inside. The date was 30 years ago when she was in this villa.
This is the second time that the diary element appears in Shang Jingyan's work, bringing an atmosphere of fear every time. The diary found on the corpse is even more bizarre and terrifying than the last time.
xxxx/1/2
Blizzard, lost.
xxx/1/4
The food is almost gone.
The content of the diary is very brief. It basically tells the story of a tour group of thirteen people who went to a village in the snow to explore the legend of the witch, but encountered a blizzard halfway, lost their way in the forest, and unknowingly came to this snow slope.
At this moment, they looked up and saw a yellow light above the snow slope. They were overjoyed and went to take a look. It turned out to be a villa.
[This should be: Who keeps a diary? JPG]
[The fear of "Building 18" is back, help QAQ]
[There are thirteen people as well? The lighting in the predicament is so unreal, I can’t bear to look at it! ]
Ao Qingxue also found it strange. The villa that suddenly appeared in the midst of a difficult situation did not seem like a timely help, but rather like something that had been premeditated.
In the plot, Lan Qing continued reading, and the owner of the diary wrote that the owner of the villa was a beautiful woman who entertained 13 people and gave them food and shelter.
