Chapter 72
"I woke up and saw the living dead, but he was still singing 'The Good-for-Nothing'"
-OP-: Let’s not talk too much, just watch the video… Actually, it was my relatives and friends who went there (I’m taking a make-up exam, crying), and I missed out on such a great event. I’m already broken down…
-2L-: I think this is the boss! From his mental state to his looks, it's the real deal!
-3L-: Phantom: Observes Little C in the dark, appears in the dark, happily takes Little C away, sings happily, shrinks into a ball in the dark when the mask falls off;
Nie Zong: Observed Xiao Man in the dark, devoured in the dark, demolished happily, looked for Xiao Man in the dark to warn him, and left in the dark along with the cigarette holder after being scolded by Chen Xing...
——It fits, it fits! Sing! My angel of music! (Loop) (Gradually assimilate) (Crawl happily)
-4L-: This shows that the coser teacher is really good at acting funny, and I’m really touched by it.
-5L-: Even though I can't see his face clearly, I think he must be very handsome. Is there no one present? I really want to keep seeing this boss. I like him.
-6L-: On the contrary, I feel that it is more interesting to only see their figures in a blurry image. Also, I discovered that Nie Zong and Xiao Man are cool in another way when standing together, which is different from Belu's style. It makes me look forward to seeing them meet in real life.
-7L-: Considering their identities as the protagonist and the villain, they should end up fighting each other after they meet in person (eyes shifted)
-8L-: I’m so anxious to know how Pinkstar decides to portray the relationship between these two. This is very important for the Dark Color Group fan fiction!
-9L-: Thank you for the invitation. Being handsome is secondary. This teacher really showed off the aura of a villain! Didn’t you see that he asked the teacher who cosplayed Xiaoman to dance a waltz with a bride named Elly Ratna with a stereo? The scene was full of scumbags, but I was fine, I was especially fine. Is this the atmosphere brought by super interaction?
-10L-: Added, the pink-haired teacher and a Chen Xing came together as a couple, and then Chen Xing was abandoned. Then, the boss used Chen Xing's cigarette stick to perform magic to create a plush rabbit doll and pressed it on Chen Xing's head, then strode away dragging a borrowed stereo, and then the video content...
-11L-: Damn, it's even more restored hahahahahaha
-12L-: Don't use this button too vividly. Thanks to the war correspondent for describing it, I have already seen it in person.
…
Yuan Qian closed the post and cursed himself for being curious about what this guy had done when he was summoned to his hometown.
"Since you're there, have you ever thought about contacting the author?" he asked the most important question.
[Because the first experiment only lasted less than 20 minutes to stabilize the world, I didn’t even know the address of Fanxing’s studio, so of course it was important to play first.]
"...That's right, but now we have a tacit understanding with her, so it doesn't matter, there's no need to rush to get in touch with her." Yuan Qian said.
[Hmm. By the way, what do you think of my imitation skills? As long as there is no anti-gravity hair and the texture of the clothes is a little industrial, it will look more like a cosplay rather than the real thing, right?] It turns out that the only thing that interests the Demon King of the other world is how well he can imitate humans.
"I think the proportions are a bit off," Yuan Qian said. "In short, it's too handsome."
[Are you jealous that I can go to the comic convention? You dyed your hair yourself, and you are still the real Dust Awakening.] The adjutant didn't understand and protested.
"..." Yuan Qian looked away. He couldn't boast that he was indeed good-looking among humans, right? That would be too shameless.
In fact, as an orphan whose race is not human and whose background is very suspicious, he was able to live safely in that cold-blooded profit-driven family without any support, partly because he was really harmless, and partly because he looked likable, so he was fortunately not used as cannon fodder to be used to frame each other, but was raised by everyone without any concern.
So Yuan Qian had always known that he was good-looking, otherwise he would not have been able to calmly put on that rather striking appearance with plain sleeves and act so as to adapt to other people's gazes at the beginning.
"Anyway, next time you can make it more ordinary, it won't be so weird," he said.
[There won’t be a next time. Counter-summoning is a one-time temporary shell. That world is quite peaceful. It’s hard to find materials every time in a small area…]
"Can I ask what the material is?" Yuan Qian keenly captured the key words.
[It is harming people of the same kind. Of course, it is crushed and reduced to its base material and sterilized before use, otherwise I would also dislike it.]
"…" t did a great job, don't do it next time. Yuan Qian realized again that although this guy respected good people and would not harm innocent people, in a sense he was actually a demon king with a very correct outlook on life. For a native of another world, he was already very talented, but he still seriously lacked certain awareness, such as respect for the law.
Yuan Qian has only recently discovered that he is not a human being, and his inner consciousness is still very law-abiding. In the comic world, he can follow the local customs and do some revenge, but he still thinks that under the premise of clear laws, the treatment of evil people should follow procedures, rather than suffering a casual ending like being picked up to put out cigarette butts and then thrown away.
Is it really a good idea to agree to let him go there? He is a little worried.
"...Even though I can say that it's all thanks to your help that I've gotten to where I am today, and I'm very grateful to you, I still won't allow you to mess around with that place." Yuan Qian said cautiously but firmly.
[It doesn’t matter. I probably won’t go there again.]
"That's not what I meant..." Yuan Qian noticed that the other party's calm tone did not sound like a joke, so he quickly explained.
[Oh, it's not your fault. That world is nice, but I took the opportunity to check it out, and she's not there. What a pity.]
The adjutant spoke cheerfully and then went offline. Nirvana, which he was supposed to manage most of the time, also returned completely to Yuanqian's control, and stayed in Xingyuan with a new location and name like a quiet game save file.
Yuan Qian couldn't think of how to comfort him, and vaguely felt that his teammate didn't need comfort, so he quietly returned to the forum.
Then, he read the official extra content that was reposted on the forum.
The three-page doodle-style comic strip consists of four panels in a group. The tone is as light as a fairy tale and it unfolds from the perspective of a female scholar.
She was obsessed with studying a very ancient history all her life, and could spend three or four years with a broken stone tablet. At her adoptive mother's funeral, the rain smeared the grave into a mirror, and she saw her reflection in the water and suddenly realized that her hair was already white.
In order to prolong her life, she, who is not a spellcaster, ignorantly and fearlessly chooses to coexist with the concept of knowledge and live forever.
Her consciousness still existed, but she could no longer express her ideas to the outside world. Even when she saw from later data that her research had been overturned and reorganized, she was unable to communicate and debate with the scholar. She finally felt real pain and loneliness.
A long time later, "someone" freed the spirits of knowledge. She woke up in the sunlight and saw a familiar face - the descendants of her childhood friends came to greet her after hearing the news. The scholar said to him calmly and as if from another world: "You put bread crumbs on the corner of your mouth again."
…
"Go read the short extra chapter posted by the official account of Pink Star, it seems to be related to the main storyline! (Attached link)"
…
-4L-: Mr. Nie, I don’t know what else you did that was not mentioned in the main plot.
-5L-: Nie Zong to the City of Knowledge belike: What is this? Xiaoman can't go to the strict defense, create a new one.
Thanks for the invitation, I got some candy again. Hehe.
-6L-: Don't eat all the candies (picking them out). He was supposed to be the villain, but he didn't hurt any named characters except the pink-haired siblings. He was also protecting Xiaoman and avenging Sumei. Now he's helping the Spirit of Knowledge. I actually feel like he's so cunning.
-7L-: The story is good, but why should he help?
-8L-: I think, I think, because all methods of prolonging life other than the undead are related to the Star God, including the Spirit of Knowledge, and President Nie seems to have an ambiguous attitude towards the Star God, so... although his attitude towards everyone is very ambiguous.
-9L-: Why is he in every extra episode? Either he and Chen Xing are in a CP relationship, which makes me feel a little rebellious
-10L-: Ah, that's what villains are like. Whether you're annoyed or not, they'll pop up from time to time in updates. At least they're good-looking and not bad, and they're pretty classy.
-11L-: I can't help laughing when I think of the chat with the seagull in the extra chapter of the physical book, so no matter how you look at it, he is just a funny guy who is both good and evil... Also, there is already a big crisis that the star god is going to die with the world, and then there is a crazy villain. The whole story will develop very painfully.
-12L-: That kind of deep hatred is not the style of Fan Xing. Well, although he killed several people one by one with a clean and tidy knife, I support (emphasis) and although he often uses a spinning knife (emphasis), the overall style is still love and hope. Everyone is very cute, and it warms my heart...
-13L-: Replying to 9L, most of the posts in the forum are Amara's second creations (dog head). I am so full of food, but this dishcloth is awesome!
-14L-: I didn't know you were so sidelined before Amara came out. I've seen more rags in the past three days than in the past six months! (Put down knife and fork) (Wipe mouth) (Point and criticize) (Burp) (Put away the stolen food) (Leave with hands behind back)
-15L-: I feel guilty for bullying Chen Xing, but I feel bad for bullying Lasi. However, I am afraid that my friend will come to talk to me. I can only live like this by dealing with Amara. An NPC's "hard bone" made me write 8,000 words in anger. The hero was criticized by thousands of people, lost his highlights, broke his muscles and bones, and was crushed into the dust. The door is wiped.
-16L-: Look at the 8,000 words. I have a friend who said this was her last wish before losing weight (Bao Xiang Zhuang Yan)
——Why is there something about number six here? Yuan Qian closed the post silently.
Those products responded to Amara's debut with an enthusiasm that was beyond imagination. Yuan Qian certainly saw it all considering his activeness in the forum. He even read it carefully to understand the reason, and escaped from the shared link with a breath of cold air.
It's not that I can't bear it as an adult, but Amara is me, who designed the appearance, made up the past, and performed it myself! Of course, everyone wrote and drew very well, and you can feel the strong emotions poured into it. It can even be said to be quite artistic. The criticism in some creations is not inferior to similar plots in famous works.
Not only can I earn emotional points, but I can also get such feedback as a derivative work as a character. It's like thunderous applause and cheers. I am very grateful, but if I keep watching, I will really lose the courage to go out and meet people in this capacity...!
So when it comes to Amara's unexpected debut and efficient growth in popularity, the only secondary creation victim Yuan Qian's reaction could only be to hide in fear, swallow back his tears, and feel bitter all the way.
