But there's nothing we can do. The world outside is so chaotic these days. Who knows when insects and beasts will invade and trample people to death? Who would be in the mood to film a program? And even if we did, no one would watch it.
Only a heartless person like him would watch TV to kill time. Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Isn't the research institute supposed to be working on some kind of project? As long as he doesn't starve, he'll live one more day at a time.
The drunkard took a sip of his drink and was about to change the program when suddenly the screen crackled and distorted before going blank. Then a man with silver hair and bloodshot eyes appeared on the screen, startling the drunkard so much that he almost fell off his chair.
I've never seen this man before. Is this some new show?
No, that can't be. He's seen so many entertainment stars, but none of them are as...perfect as this man.
Yes, perfect. In his extremely discerning eyes, this man's features were so perfect that there wasn't a single flaw. This must be... a character synthesized by the quantum computer, right?
No one could possibly look like that in real life.
However, the man's gaze didn't seem like that of a computer-generated character. He seemed to be looking at him, yet also seemed not to be looking at him, giving him a very strange feeling.
The drunkard was confused, even feeling a bit eerie. He quickly pressed the player button to change the program, but what made him break out in a cold sweat was that no matter what he changed, the man was still on the screen.
At the same time, in the central square—
The streets were bustling with people, each one hurrying along, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
The giant light screen in the center of the square is playing an advertisement recruiting participants for Project X.
"Do you want to protect your home, protect the Earth? Do you want these vile and ferocious insects to all die out, so they can never invade us again? Do you want to give your family a bright and peaceful future...?"
"Now, we are giving you this opportunity to stop being cowardly, afraid, terrified, and powerless, and to kill the insect beast as easily as killing an insect!"
"By participating in Project X, you will have the opportunity to become a mech warrior, donning tough armor and piloting a massive transforming mech to hunt down insectoid beasts, fighting for yourself, for your loved ones, and for our homeland!"
The screen displayed images of warriors piloting transforming mechs to hunt down insectoid beasts. The sound was deafening, and the battle scenes were breathtaking, making the audience's blood boil.
However, even the most shocking scenes become familiar after a while. There was only one little boy, holding his mother's hand, licking a candy while looking at the advertising screen with a face full of admiration.
No matter how many times he watched it, the scene still held an irresistible attraction for the little boy.
Suddenly, the 360-degree surround sound of the fight stopped, and a man appeared on the huge screen, almost taking up the entire screen. He had silver hair and blood-red eyes, like Satan who had suddenly descended to earth.
The little boy stared blankly into space, not even noticing that his favorite candy had fallen. His mother looked up at the screen and stared in disbelief.
The vast square was eerily quiet at that moment. Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked up at the enormous light screen in the sky, staring at the handsome man who was astounding as a demon god with surprise, amazement, or admiration.
Training base —
In the clean and tidy cafeteria, Xia Linyin sat at a table eating her standard dine-in meal, with Shangguan Xin sitting next to her.
"Huh? Cauliflower again..." Shangguan Xin poked at the cauliflower in the plate and said with a troubled expression. Then she looked at Yin Yichen sitting opposite her and her eyes lit up. "Yin Yichen, can I pick all my cauliflower for you?"
"No way." Yin Yichen refused without hesitation. "What time is it? You're still being picky about food. Do you know how many people outside are starving, let alone these fresh vegetables?"
Shangguan Xin pouted, "But I really don't like cauliflower."
"Then you can drink the nutrient solution every day from now on." Yin Yichen ignored Shangguan Xin and looked up at the screen opposite him. The screen was playing a dissection video of the insect beast, as well as a detailed explanation of the various organs of the insect beast.
As Yin Yichen was eating and watching with great interest, the bloody corpses of insects and beasts on the screen suddenly disappeared, replaced by a familiar man who chilled him to the bone.
The spoon in his hand clattered onto the plate. Yin Yichen felt as if his throat had been suddenly gripped. He moved his lips and silently uttered a few words, "Rose Killer."
Just as Yin Yichen's spoon fell into the plate, Xia Linyin looked up at him, frowned in confusion, and turned to look behind her, following his gaze.
The silver-haired, red-eyed man, who had been expressionless the whole time, finally showed a smile on his handsome face when he saw Xia Linyin. His gaze was fixed on Xia Linyin like a large net covered in sugar.
He slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, and said in a sexy, deep, magnetic voice with great pleasure, "I've found you, sister."
