My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 105 A World Where Humans and Monsters Coexist

Most people expected the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2", but what most people didn't expect was that you would release the second part in just one week.

Dude, do you release your movies on a weekly basis?
Dude, aren't you tired?
This is something that has puzzled countless directors and actors.

They don't understand how you manage to release a film every week with a budget approaching Hollywood standards, and even release it for free without charging membership fees.

Dude, how do you guys make money? What are you after?
Filmmakers, both domestic and international, racked their brains trying to understand how there could be such an "uncommercial" colleague.

Most importantly, the fact that "The Legend of the Heavenly Thunder" was completely free and allowed to be freely edited and distributed left its competitors completely dumbfounded, essentially adding the last handful of dirt to their graves.

What about the films they spend tens or hundreds of millions on? What about the popular celebrities they've worked so hard to cultivate?
It's a very realistic situation. The game is free. Although the first-person perspective is selective in terms of audience, it uses some kind of cutting-edge technology that makes it completely non-dizzying. So even if viewers are not used to the first-person perspective, they won't feel too uncomfortable.

Add to that the casting that's completely distorted by small heads, the strange yet meticulously crafted and logically consistent alien world customs and culture, and the realistic yet not polluting special effects.

Even if the plot isn't top-tier, it's still a standard classic shonen action story, which minimizes any potential weaknesses in the plot. It's arguably a top-tier popcorn movie even by Hollywood standards.

Audiences don't ask for much; a top-notch popcorn movie or a canned film can make them happy for a long time.

Most importantly, it's free!
This makes people in other parts of the film and television industry feel like they are being outmaneuvered by their peers.

No way, you damn troublemakers! We spent hundreds of millions to make this movie, and hired popular celebrities, why should he release it for free?

If that happens, the audience's tastes will become accustomed to it, and no one will spend money to watch movies. What will they eat then?

When my movie is released, it will be flooded with negative reviews, all saying, "You're not even as good as The Thunder Chronicles, and you still dare to ask for money?"

Wouldn't they end up begging on their knees?
No, this is no ordinary troublemaker. As long as Tian Ting Ji continues to update at this quality, they will never have a chance to rise up. We must strike hard to kill them or force them to switch from free to paid.

Otherwise, it would truly be the darkest day in film history. Both domestically and internationally, both cinemas and organizations have reached a consensus on this.

Must hit hard!

……

The internet is buzzing with excitement as a large number of beautiful photos of the elven girl, Annie, begin circulating, along with memes made from them.

"Is your wife pretty? She's a bug!.JPG"

Unaware of the truth, a passerby excitedly pulled down his pants and clicked on the beautiful photo of the elven girl. The moment the photo opened, the beautiful elven girl immediately transformed into a hideous evil insect.

This meme has caused so much trouble for countless people.

Then the person who posted the meme sparked a lot of criticism, and also made more and more uninformed passers-by aware of the news about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2".

The main point is that although Annie is an evil insect at heart, she is indeed that kind of rare, otherworldly beautiful girl who has a complete "demi-human" feel.

Although she is humanoid overall, the small details that are completely different from humans give her a very obvious demi-human feel. This demi-human feel does not fall into the uncanny valley, but rather bounces back and forth in the part that humans like the most.

In other fantasy works, elves are obviously played by humans, but this elf girl's small details, totems, and non-human features make others suspect that she is not a human in disguise, but a real elf.

This feeling was very strong, especially when she had habits and customs that were completely different from those of humans.

This has driven countless people who love "extraterrestrial" characters to the brink of madness.

Even though there are insects under her skin, it doesn't matter. A beautiful appearance is enough. As long as there is love, even insects will sleep in front of you!
Beneath this quirky meme—a beautiful elf girl on the surface, but turning into an insect when you click on the picture—this elf girl unexpectedly became the first character in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2" to break out of the mainstream and become a major hit.

Just like in the previous installment, where the most popular characters were the goddess of beauty and Hera, in this installment, the elf girl's emojis have started to go viral on TT.

Countless people who were initially attracted by the elven girl's beauty, but were later angered to discover that she was actually a terrifying insect, were also seeking revenge.

So they forwarded the image to even more people, who then spread it further.

In this era of rapid development of information and AI, instant translation software is very mature, enabling people all over the world to easily communicate across languages.

As expected, succumbing to temptation is humanity's primary productive force, which is why the viewership of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2" is skyrocketing at an astonishing rate.

However, while the internet was celebrating, a large number of smear articles were ready.

Tian Ting Ji has too many weaknesses; as soon as they release a smear article, it will instantly ignite public opinion.

You're too green to compete with us. Just become a pay-per-view movie and you'll be the real challenger in the film industry!
……

The internet frenzy and the grotesque figures in the film and television industry had nothing to do with Xue's Law at this time.

It was late at night when the video was uploaded, and Xue Dinglu continued to fiddle with the giant beast for a long time, but there was still no reaction.

Breathing is present, heartbeat is present, eye movement response is present, and knee jerk response is also present.

But he was completely unaware of anything.

Xue even recklessly ran into the giant beast's mouth, but instead of food scraps, he found a large amount of sulfur and high-energy reactions inside.

In other words, it hasn't even shown any feeding behavior recently... When did such a strange creature appear in the universe?

He searched through the knowledge base left by the great sage, but couldn't find anything that matched.

The behemoth's cells were incredibly powerful. When Xue Luding examined them with the cursed blood, he always felt as if these cells would open up a ghostly back and then brutally beat his cursed blood.

And the energy of these giant beast cells... is incredibly vast, with each cell containing tens of thousands of times more energy than a normal human cell.

The most terrifying thing is that, through the cursed blood, it was discovered that the behemoth's cells would unintentionally combine the one ten-thousandth of tritium in water... into helium...

The waste helium gas will be expelled with the giant beast's breath...

In other words, this monster is undergoing billions of controlled nuclear fusion processes every moment.

He suddenly realized that even "super beast" might not be enough to describe this thing; it would be at least an elite monster in a tokusatsu series...

It's the kind of elite monster that can bring down the invincible Shafulin with its fiery head.

but……

"Old Deng, say something! Even just nodding or 'uh-huh' would be nice. Just respond to me." Xue Dinglu looked at the behemoth and felt a headache coming on again.

It was even more of a headache than the first time I communicated with the old undead. The old undead was just crazy and his mental state was unstable, while the behemoth completely ignored me.

Xue Dinglu took out a piece of meat scrap and silently left the consciousness space.

A piece of meat the size of a palm is nothing more than a sliver of skin to a giant beast, but Xue Luding painstakingly examined it with his cursed blood and removed any parts that might cause nuclear fusion.

Coat the meat chunks with breadcrumbs and deep-fry them in a frying pan until golden brown. Xue Luding sprinkles a pinch of salt and pepper on top.

After frying it until it was about 70% cooked, Xue Dinglu took out a kitchen knife and said, "This is tonight's midnight snack..."

"Snap..." The cleaver broke off directly from the handle, barely managing to cut through the protein layer on the giant beast's meat.

Xue's Law...

Where did this cheap kitchen knife come from!

Let's just put it on our lips.

Xue Luding took a bite and instantly felt countless energies surging in his mouth; one bite felt like eating a whole bag of popping candy...

"Mmm, bro, bro, you smell so good..."

……

At night, Xue Daolu, his mouth still full of delicious flavor, drifted off to sleep.

"Fighter pilot, Lieutenant Robert, step forward!"

In my dream, there was a spacious airport and rows of cool, triangular fighter jets.

Xue's Law: ? ? ?

No, Old Deng, aren't you a monster whose cells are undergoing nuclear fusion? How come he's seeing a pilot's memories?
Did he connect to the wrong place?

However, Xue's Law patiently continued reading.

It was a world where technology and magic coexisted. The technology tree of that world was somewhat similar to that of Earth. At the end of the steam age, they mastered the technology to reliably use magic, so technology and magic went hand in hand.

Now, their world has entered the information age, and magicians are no longer in seclusion, but have joined specialized "psychic high schools" for further study.

Yes, people in their world call "magic" psionic energy. They master psionic energy and also develop technology, thus embarking on a path of "dual cultivation."

Over a long period of time, they produced legendary mages, but they still had not mastered the technology of "teleportation," and therefore were still unable to leave the planet.

The reason for this is that it is not a peaceful world.

In this world, there exists an incredibly terrifying creature: the behemoth!
It's unclear when exactly, but it seems that the world began to change the moment humans in that world mastered magic.

Countless creatures began to swell rapidly, growing to tens of meters tall, and those colossal beasts that blotted out the sky roamed the wilderness.

Humans had to build city walls and use heavy artillery and armored vehicles to drive away the giant beasts, most of which were scared away by the artillery and explosions.

However, a small number of behemoths will attack cities, either smashing city walls and causing carnage, or being bombarded by warplanes and giant cannons, with their corpses being dismembered and disposed of.

In Xue's view, this world is somewhat like... a tokusatsu drama world without the Giant of Light.

A world where humans and monsters coexist!
