Chapter 258 Look at my watch. Has time stopped?
【Congratulations to the host kid for triggering the functional achievement: one person, one pen, writes a miracle! 】
[Skills acquired: Relative Time Stop (You can create a temporary time stop area by drawing a dial. The range of the area depends on the 'moment' or the size of the dial. Time outside the area is relatively still, while time inside the area continues to flow.
The relative time stop lasts 'one night'. )】
【Note: Dad said that what’s past is past and will never come back. 】
[Note: After school that day, I ran home as fast as I could. The sun hadn’t set yet. It was great. I won time once.]
[Note: It’s a pity that we can’t go back to yesterday… So, let’s use the remaining time to reminisce.]
【Note: Who said time waits for no one? Hey, I really waited! 】

…
What a pleasant surprise!
I didn’t expect it would trigger a new achievement!
Ji Ruo was ecstatic, thinking that it was indeed a super-functional achievement with six notes, and that it could actually draw a time-still area...
The simple watch he had just drawn on his wrist suddenly flashed, and the conditions for triggering the skill were met. He could choose to turn it on or off, but the size of the time stillness area produced by [Relative Time Stop] was related to the 'moment' or the size of the dial.
Ji Ruo casually drew the dial, and to save time, he only drew four scales. The pointer is thin on one side and short and thick on the other side, forming a straight line, and the 'time' is exactly six o'clock.
Feeling the feedback from [Relative Time Stop], Ji Ruo suddenly realized that this watch could open up a six-cubic-meter time stop area at any time according to his wishes.
"A 12-hour clock? Well, a 24-hour mechanical dial is too weird..."
Ji Ruo did not hesitate and directly opened the time-stopping area.
In an instant, an unobservable hemispherical area suddenly appeared with Ji Ruo himself as the center. Coincidentally, the night breeze blew gently, and a leaf fell halfway and suddenly froze in mid-air.
The sound of grateful Carris crying for joy suddenly stopped - because his size exceeded the range covered by the time-stop field, most of his body was outside the field.
Kairis' body is still active within the domain, but his body outside the domain has been stopped in time. The two time states are superimposed on Kairis at the same time, causing his body to no longer regenerate...
"After being stopped halfway through time, can't it be considered a complete god?"
Ji seemed to be thinking about something.
After thinking about it, Ji Ruo lifted the time-stopping area.
Caris's grateful voice resounded: "Thank you, Director! I will work hard and do whatever you ask me to do! I will be absolutely obedient!"
He had no idea what had just happened. He was counting down excitedly in his heart, feeling grateful.
Only one hour, fifty-nine minutes and thirty seconds left! Victory is in sight!
"It's great that you think so." Ji Xiaoxiao had a strange smile on his face. Kairis thought that Ji Xiaoxiao was satisfied with his current attitude. In order to get out of trouble, he also showed a flattering smile to Ji Xiaoxiao.
"It is my honor to work for the director!"
Although he said this, Carris kept cursing Ji Ruo, Ji Xiaoxiao and others in his heart. Of course, the one who was cursed the most was Rosie.
"Just scream out if it hurts. You don't have to endure it. Two hours is still a long time." Ji Ruo said with a smile.
"Stop yelling, stop yelling. It's my honor to serve you all. It's just two hours. I can handle it!"
"Are you sure? Two hours is a long time."
Kairis licked his face and said flatteringly: "Sure!"
"OK."
Ji Ruo smiled and asked Ji Xiaoxiao to start drawing circles around with a wooden stick.
Carris looked at the round dial that encompassed his entire body, as well as the meaningless scratches and incomprehensible words on the inner circle of the dial, and his heart inexplicably tightened.
It looked like some kind of ritual magic circle... However, Kairis didn't sense any abnormal changes in the elemental power at all, and thought it was probably just a random drawing.
"Remember the time now."
Ji Ruo suddenly said.
"There is still one hour and fifty-eight minutes left!" Kairis subconsciously reported the time. He was a little careful here and did not calculate it to the exact second, in order to save this part of time.
Ji Ruo saw through his little thought and did not correct him. Instead, he said, "I mean, I want you to remember where the moon is now."
"ah?"
Caris didn't understand.
But Ji Ruo smiled and clenched his fist gently: "Stop."
Then the wind stopped and the clouds became still.
The rustling of leaves no longer sounded, and all other sounds in the forest also stopped abruptly.
When Caris looked up at the moon, a night owl happened to fly by. However, at this moment, the night owl suddenly stopped moving, its wings stopped flapping, and it did not fall down.
Everything seemed to have suddenly turned into an extremely realistic painting. Reality was reality, but it just wouldn't move, and was eerily still.
Caris was stunned.
Time seems to have stopped...
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "Two hours is not very long, you have to hold on."
As he spoke, Ji Ruo chopped off another half of the pork.
Rosie turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and had no idea what was going on. She ate very seriously.
Caris was despairing.
…
…
A night owl flew over here.
Kairis's face was blank, and he kept muttering: "Devil... Devil..."
Three days!
He passed three full days in an instant!
During this process, the moon above remains motionless and external time does not pass.
In the brief moment just now, no one knew what Carris had experienced except for Ji Ruo, Ji Xiaoxiao and other little devils.
"There's one hour and fifty-eight minutes left."
Ji Ruo rubbed his sore wrist and said cheerfully, "My little cat is a bit hungry, just hold on a little longer."
"Ah!! No, don't! Please!!!"
Kairis roared in an unusually hoarse voice, "He's going crazy." He looked at the seemingly harmless little black cat with extreme fear.
How can this cat eat so much! It has been eating for three days!!!
During these three days, Kairis had lost count of how many times he had been disintegrated, and even his body's self-healing speed had become slower and slower. Originally, this was a god's characteristic that consumed almost no energy, but because of the continuous regeneration of broken limbs, Kairis had consumed most of his divine power...
"Just two hours. I can bear it." Ji Xiaoxiao screamed and imitated what Carris had said before.
"I was wrong. I will never speak nonsense again. Please let me go. Wuwuwuwu... I will never eat meat again. Wuwuwuwuwu..."
After three days in the time-stopping area, Carris's voice became hoarse, his tears dried up, and his mental state became extremely dazed.
Ji Ruo saw that it was almost done, so he smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's save the rest of the time and shoot the movie first."
He doesn't plan to continue feeding Rosie. Carrie's mental state has reached a critical point. If he really drives Carrie crazy, where can he find a new "Pig Head Three" to shoot this episode?
Besides, we can't really let Rosie keep eating...
The time-stopping area can only last for one night, which is eight hours.
Although it can be opened and closed repeatedly, it would be tiring to keep cooking with the "human" palm method.
Moreover, Ji Ruo discovered that although time still flows normally in the time-stopping area, it feels like being temporarily separated from the entire time, and cannot enjoy the full benefit of "time continuity" at all.
For example, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the elemental force, there is only so much in total, and once it is absorbed, it is gone. Unless the domain is closed, it will not be replenished at all.
This is probably the meaning of the note 'It's a pity that we can't go back to yesterday... So, let's use the remaining time to reminisce.'
The time in the time-stopping realm can be used for study or thinking, but it cannot be used for cultivation.
Of course, if you carry a lot of spiritual fruits with you like Ji Ruo, you can use them for cultivation.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Not to mention that Kairis had very little power left, even Ji Ruo himself, the martial arts essence stored in Xingxuan was almost exhausted, and the three shadow clones had long dissipated due to exhaustion - consumption was secondary, the main thing was mental fatigue.
He also didn't expect that the 'big hungry monster' could eat so much!
"Meow~ (Master, is this the end? I want to eat more...)"
Rosie looked at Carris and licked her lips with satisfaction. Her hunger was still strong and she wanted to eat more.
Kairis had been eaten like a frightened pig. When he heard the cat's cry, he shook his head wildly in fear - there was no shadow clone holding him down, no contract restraining him, and he did not run away.
Without permission, He dared not run.
Ji Ruo rubbed Luo Xi's head and said, "We'll eat again next time. I am tired even if you are not. Be good and listen to me."
"Meow~ (Okay...)"
Rosie squatted aside obediently. Although she was still hungry, she did not throw a tantrum.
Ji Ruo said with a tired look on his face: "I'll take a short rest first."
Kairis did not react when he heard this, because He knew that—
"Okay, let's shoot!"
Before Kairis could finish his thought, Ji Ruo became energetic again, and his three shadow clones reappeared, and his condition was almost restored.
But after thinking about it, Kairis decided to finish thinking about this idea.
——If Ji Ruo could stop and rest at the right time, no matter how long the rest was, it would only be a moment for Ji Ruo.
Fortunately, he didn't take him with him when he decided to stop time to rest. Otherwise, he would have collapsed if he had experienced the feeling of being abandoned by time again.
He stood up numbly, but could not stand steadily - his previous experience had made him unfamiliar with his own body.
The muscles have become loose due to the continuous regeneration...
"Are you still going to take the photo?" Seeing that Kairis couldn't get into the mood, Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but jump up and slap him: "Are you playing big?"
"No, no, no, no..."
Carreys denied it quickly, his head shaking like a rattle.
He had three heads, but because of his panic and anxiety, he couldn't shake them properly. The middle head was bumped back and forth by the two heads on the left and right, which looked very funny.
“Then take a good picture for me!”
“Okay, okay…”
Careys trembled and forced himself not to look at Rosie under Ji Xiaoxiao. The moment he saw Rosie, his legs went weak and he was extremely frightened of cats.
"Look fiercer!"
"You can't do anything else except arching, right?"
"Power! Power! How can such a big guy be so soft like a woman?"
"You are a pig!"
Ji Xiaoxiao turned into a tyrant on the set, roaring continuously, and even Ji Ruo was scolded by him.
"Where did you learn acting? Can you please not be so exaggerated?"
"What are you afraid of? You are the messenger of justice. This is the last episode of the first season. What are you afraid of?"
"Timeline! Pay attention to the timeline! Fuck!"
Carris was scolded severely, but because of his "low status", he dared not refute at all and tried his best to cooperate.
Ji Ruo's forehead also had veins throbbing.
The knowledge that comes with the title of "Super Director" is extremely comprehensive. In addition to the knowledge that is useful at first glance, there are also some messy things such as "the temper of the grumpy director on the set", "the annoying arrogance of the big shot", etc.
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't learn from the good things, but this great director's bad temper was fully utilized. He even integrated several "skills" and brought them to a new level...
I have to say that when the inner demon is not studying well, its learning ability is a bit absurd.
Ji Xiaoxiao scolded more and more vigorously, and gradually felt like she was losing herself in everything.
Sometimes, even if Ji Ruo's acting was obviously fine, he would still find fault with it and find ways to scold Ji Ruo.
I won’t talk about changing the script on the spot. After all, if they didn’t have a script in the first place, it could still be tolerated. But Ji Xiaoxiao scolded them for such a long time and was not satisfied with anything, so the filming progress almost came to a standstill.
Seeing that the filming of this episode was taking longer and longer, Ji Ruo's face darkened.
"Stop for a moment."
When Ji Ruo called for a stop, Ji Xiaoxiao was still jumping around and yelled, "You say stop, so stop? You direct me? Can you please…"
Ji Ruo sneered and opened the Time Stop Field, covering Ji Xiaoxiao inside.
No one knew what the two had experienced in the time-stopping realm. All they knew was that Ji Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became bruised and swollen, and the tone of his voice became softer.
"This one has passed, the next one..."
Ji Ruo sneered: "Not reshooting?"
"No, no, this one is perfect, my old man, your acting is amazing, I passed it in one go!"
"snort!"
The Xiao Xin Magic Band was eating melon seeds and watching the show on the side. There was no need for them to take any action for the time being - it had only been a few days since Ji Xiaoxiao returned to the First Martial Arts School to inform them that they would learn musical instruments, and now they are joining in the filming.
They have only learned a few songs in total, so whether the BGM is available on the spot is not very important for the time being. It can be added in during the post-editing process. The most important thing now is to shoot enough material.
Because the most important transformation battle scene in this episode had already been filmed, and Caris became a model actor again, the only thing left was the scene where the "protagonist" just met Caris.
After Ji Xiaoxiao stopped making trouble, the filming was completed in less than 20 minutes.
"Okay, let's stop here for today."
Ji Ruo stretched his back, looked at Caris, and said, "After you finish filming the next episode, you can finish. We will continue tomorrow night... I remember that one of your duties is to 'command the creatures in the forest', right?
Tomorrow, shout as much as you can and give me some pressure. Since it’s the end of the first season, let’s make it a big event.”
Kairis said weakly: "Dear human, my divine state is not stable right now..."
Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? Can't call?"
