Chapter 196 The Story Behind Director Mo's Masterpiece "Learning to Oink Like a Pig" (Extremely High Artistic Content)
You may have all heard of "Learn to Oink Like a Pig," but do you know the story behind this catchy song?
This is a story about an exceptionally good woman and an extremely bad woman...

A little earlier in time, just as Mo Zhen and his group were about to leave Liyong City, he was suddenly stopped by a woman's phone call.

On the other end of the phone came a sweet, cloying voice that sounded almost cloying.

[Director Mo, it's me! You haven't forgotten the music video you promised, have you? You kept saying you'd do it next time, but when am I supposed to get up? I'm getting impatient!]

Mo Zhen's body stiffened upon hearing this, as if her ankles were being entangled by invisible vines.

The person who called was none other than Miss Ruri, who possessed the top-tier Armament Haki, Ironclad!
Ever since he filmed that rock music video for Homiga that went viral, this woman has been green with envy, like a megalodon smelling blood.

In her mind, which was doubly enhanced by beauty filters and the hypnotic power of swirls, how could her acting talent and versatility be compared to that white Growlithe dog Homiga who could only frantically shake its head?

She, Miss Liuli, is a popular female anchor on the platform. She should ride this wave of incredible popularity to soar to the top and become a true superstar!

With her clear industry knowledge from serving thousands of male prostitutes in the live streaming room, she was 100% certain that Homiga, that white-haired girl, must have used some shady Ironclad Clam techniques to get Director Mo's special attention!

She, Liuli, a top influencer on Pixiv with the acclaimed Best Actress award, surely can't outmaneuver a little rock-and-roll girl.

So in the days that followed, she became clingy and launched a full-scale, gentle offensive on Mo Zhen.

Phone calls, text messages, private messages on social media... bombarded me one after another.

The overt and covert hints were so blatant as to be outrageous.

[Director Mo~ My Ironclad is in amazing shape lately~ We can have a private, in-depth battle anytime~ You can give it any guidance you like~]

Mo Zhen's scalp tingled from watching!
Fighting a Cloak with top-tier Armament Haki?!
Although Director Mo is highly skilled and daring, he has no interest in using his snare snake to fight against the giant deep-sea clam!

The inevitable outcome would be utter destruction, with the snake robbing and the person dying!

However, the pink trash above was enjoying the show and made things worse, with Xiaomengzi excitedly twisting into a sow shape in the air.

[Oh my god! Lord Mo Zhen! Say yes! Say yes now! Think carefully! This is a great act of merit, saving people from suffering!]

If you guide her onto the right path with your extraordinary wisdom, allowing her to channel her energy in the right way, how many innocent Rattata and Squirtle on the Unova continent would be spared the cruel attacks and water cannon baptisms of Cloyster?!

As the saying goes, saving a snake is better than building a seven-story bell tower! Whether the future of Unova will be overshadowed by Cloyster depends on your decision! (Sound of laughter)

Mo Zhen wasn't interested in rebuilding Ho-Oh's Bell Tower, but being constantly pestered by Ruri, a powerful figure in the Shellder domain, was not a long-term solution.

If this woman gets desperate and uses her "Big Bang" ability to reveal the scandalous affair of "deeply engaging in acting practice" with her at the love hotel that night... this scandal would definitely top the trending searches across the United States immediately!
If a magnitude 50 earthquake were to occur in the entertainment industry, I'd be in real trouble!
Left with no other choice, the great Director Mo had to resort to his last trump card—the power of money to summon power!
He took a deep breath and dialed Wanlong's number.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Wanlong's excited scream came from the other end.

[Oh my god! Director Mo! It's you! My God! Your new book, *The Turtle Clan*, is an art history bombshell! The indomitable spirit of the water gun boy! The glory of the turtle clan blooming in despair! Oh my god! I declare that this book must be adapted into a film! Absolutely! You are simply a reincarnation of the God of Literature, Arceus himself! I…]

Sensing the almost overflowing reverence and admiration from the other end of the phone, Mo Zhen composed herself and, like an elegant conductor, subtly steered the conversation onto the intended path.

"Ahem, Wanlong, art originates from life and will eventually return to life... I'm glad you can appreciate this work. By the way, do you remember that Miss Liuli I mentioned before?"

The moment Wanlong heard the name "Miss Liuli," her excited body, which had been writhing like a maggot on the bed, suddenly stiffened, and the passion in her voice cooled down instantly, as if doused with ice water.

"Oh... that actress who played Little Fairy Doctor... you said she had a kind of poisonous charm, which was perfect for that role..."

Wanlong's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible wariness and bitterness.

Mo Zhen gritted his teeth and revealed his true intentions.

"Here's the thing, our movie is about to start filming, right? I feel like our cast is lacking a buzz and some hype, so we need some pre-release buzz. I'm thinking of... shooting a music video for her first, to generate some buzz and build up the movie's popularity. Do you think we could spare some resources... to support this pre-release promotion?"

"A music video?! For her?!?"

boom--! ! !
These few words were like the fuse that lit a powder keg!
The string of reason in Wanlong's mind snapped completely!
The pure bull warrior's personality is like a vengeful demon returned from hell, instantly taking control of the body!
[The Realm Expands - Boundless Oxen's Lair]!!!
In the dark theater, the spotlight's pale beam shone on Wanlong, making her terrified face look like a clown's!

The roar of the Pure Bull War God from the abyss was deafening in her ears.

【Ouch! O ...

Wanlong trembled all over, trying to grasp at the last glimmer of hope, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"But...he's different...he said...this is for our film...for art..."

Art?! Seriously, seriously?!

The pure bull war god's sinister laugh was like a demonic sound piercing the ears.

Don't be naive! Do you really think his Snivy can defeat that Cloyster with Armament Haki?! Face reality! Their Pokémon battle has been raging for ages! While you were shedding tears for his book! While you were emptying your savings to prepare for the movie!

Swish-! ! !
The theater curtain suddenly opened!

On the stage, a thrilling battle between Pokémon is unfolding!

Miss Liuli's jet-black armored clam was frantically using the [Shell Claw Attack], its two hard, jet-black shells clamping down on Mo Zhen's small, pitiful vine snake with destructive power!
The vine snake writhed in agony under the terrifying force of the shell, letting out a silent wail, forced to unleash its Water Gun in an attempt to end this deadly battle!

However... that tiny water gun was completely ineffective. The Ironclad Clam opened its abyss-like maw instantly, filled with sadistic excitement, and easily swallowed and absorbed the energy of the water gun!
Instead of loosening its grip, the shell tightened its hold even more!
Miss Liuli let out a high-pitched scream that cracked her voice.

"Ooh ooh ooh! Harder! Yes! That's it! My Clam... I love it like this! Crush it! Crush it to pieces!!"

Mo Zhen let out a low, suppressed roar, as if he were enduring extreme pain.

"Ughhh! Bear... Bear Grylls, have mercy! Loosen... loosen it a little! It's going to break! My Snivy is about to evolve... no... it's going to explode!!!"

The entire theater was filled with the loud clatter of the shells opening and closing, Liuli's excited shouts, and Mozhen's deep groans, all intertwined into an absurd symphony that got the blood pumping!

"OH NO—!!! Stop! Stop it now!!!" Seeing this scene, which was more terrifying than a nightmare, Wanlong went completely insane!
A towering, eerie blue flame erupted from her body, instantly transforming her into a crystal chandelier spirit, unleashing her ultimate skill imbued with immense power and love—[Love Like Fire]!!!
"Let go of Director Mo's Snivy!!!"

The blazing white flames, filled with an insatiable rage, lunged at the pitch-black armored clam!
However, Cloyster had accumulated enough energy during the battle, and amidst Ruri's excited, distorted screams, it unleashed a devastating finishing move.

Water cannon!
"Hooray! Take this! My signature move at full power—launch!!!"

boom--! ! !
A scalding, turbid current, like a torrent bursting its banks, crashed violently against the crystal chandelier's beautiful, deep blue flame with overwhelming force!
"Woo——!!!"

The flames, symbolizing love and dignity, were extinguished in an instant by the icy torrent that was absolutely countered by Ironclad's attributes!

The scalding hot water poured over Wanlong's face, extinguishing all the flames in her body and the last glimmer of hope in her heart!
She collapsed in the cold, damp center of the stage, staring at the despairing darkness before her, letting out a heart-wrenching wail.

"Waaaaahh ...

A gigantic, mountain-like, jet-black armored clam slowly appeared before her, its shell opening and closing with a strange, metallic, grating laugh.

[Ugh! Yes! This is the cold, hard reality! You'd better accept this cruel training! Be reborn from despair! Wanlong!!!]

The terrifying [Shell Squad Attack] has descended once again!
The dark, cold seashell clamped tightly around Wanlong's shattered soul, squeezing and ravaging it repeatedly!
Each squeeze was accompanied by a phantom pain like bones shattering and a suffocating humiliation!
In this endless furnace of madness and torment, her immense strength was repeatedly forged and tempered, and finally—

boom! ! !
A deeper, more violent, and more chaotic dark force broke free of its shackles!
She entered the third level of the Nine Bulls Power – the Mad Bull Realm!
At this moment, what burned in her eyes was no longer the simple fire of jealousy, but the mad bull's flame that was completely insane and burning everything!

"Hello? Hello?! Wanlong?! Are you still there? What's that sound on your end? Is it a Clamshell? A Chandelure Spirit? What's going on?!"

Mo Zhen's anxious voice on the phone was like the last glimmer of light piercing through a dark theater.

Upon hearing the words "Crystal Chandelier Spirit," Wanlong's soul, trapped within the Ironclad Clam, trembled violently and uttered a final cry for help.

"Mo Zhen, tell me quickly, do you like Shellder or Chandelure? Answer me!!!"

Mo Zhenfu, inspired by a sudden inspiration, used all her acting skills to deliver a heartfelt cry.

"I will always love Chandelure!!! Chandelure will definitely defeat Shellder! Love is like a fire that never goes out!!! Wanlong! Cheer up!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

At this moment, Wanlong once again triumphed over the abyss of darkness. She broke free from the terrifying attack of the Ironclad Shell, leaped up from the center of the stage, her eyes burning with chaotic yet resolute flames, and roared into the phone.

"That's right!!! I won't give up! Crystal Chandelier Spirit never admits defeat! Director Mo! For art! For our film! This music video—I'm going to make it! Plenty of resources! I want everyone to see who the real leading lady is! I'm going to fight head-on!!!"

The phone hangs up.

Mo Zhen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling the mad bull-like aura on the other end of the phone, which seemed to be crawling over along the signal, and his internal alarm bells rang loudly.

"Damn! This girl with glasses seems to be acting more and more strangely. If this continues, something big is bound to happen sooner or later... It seems like it's best not to contact her for now unless absolutely necessary..."

He decided to temporarily downgrade Wanlong's usage priority and mark her as high-risk, requiring caution when contacting her.

Shortly after, on the filming location.

Mo Zhen suppressed his lingering fear and gave Miss Liuli a professional smile.

"Miss Liuli, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've already tailored a song just for you... uh, a very catchy song. I guarantee it will perfectly showcase your... unique characteristics."

He handed over the lyrics and the music video storyboard.

Liuli took a look, and the lyrics made her instantly overjoyed!
The content of this song... is exactly the same as her usual routine of coaxing those "top donors" on the donation charts both online and offline!
Clip-like sounds, acting cute, being adorable, letting out soul-stirring screams...

Isn't this her comfort zone, her area of ​​expertise?!
"My God! Director Mo! You know me so well!"

A sweet smile bloomed on Liuli's face, as if she could see herself standing at the pinnacle of popularity.

"This song was practically made for me! I'll definitely exceed my usual standard! I won't let you down! Oh my gosh~"

She excitedly, even with a hint of smugness, changed into the fluffy, pink, warm pig outfit with a curled little tail on its rear, and put Shaking Spot into a small pig head skin.

As she swayed her hips and walked out wearing pig ear headdress, Wanlong, who was in charge of supervising the work, crossed his arms and let out a disdainful snort.

"Hmph... a sow dressed as a pig... that suits you quite well..."

Just as the music video was about to start filming, Mo Zhen frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

"Wait...it seems we're still missing an important role...who will play the 'warm-hearted pig boy' who's 'fallen for your mischievous smile' in the music video?"

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment.

An extra? The vibe doesn't match.

Staff member? The image doesn't match.

Mo Zhen himself? Are you kidding me! Wan Long is right there, is he out of his mind?!

Just when things were at their most chaotic, a vibrant, slightly breathless male voice rang out like heavenly music at the edge of the film set.

"Look! Family! I've found something! A wild music video shooting location! This is so cool!"

Everyone followed the sound.

A young cyclist wearing a red hat was seen posing professionally for a camera shot of a girl in hot pants...
