Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 207: You can tell how terrifyingly strong he is just by looking at his eyes.

Noon on August 15th.

Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains outside the window.

Light and shadow were cast at Chen Baiyu's feet, and the air was filled with the lazy atmosphere of a late summer afternoon.

He stood in the center of the somewhat empty living room, his suitcase lying open on the floor.

Today is the time we agreed to meet up with the "Wilderness Adventure" program team.

After all, even if the filming officially begins on August 16th, it doesn't mean they won't actually arrive at the location until August 16th.

It's perfectly normal to arrive a day early to get used to the environment, discuss and write down the recording plan, and shoot some simple behind-the-scenes footage.

So after entrusting her dog Baijin to her neighbor Aunt Zhang Yiyu, Chen Baiyu packed her bags before boarding the train to western Sichuan, which was reimbursed by the program crew.

As he folded and put away a few changes of clothes, he quietly reviewed the results of the experiment he had conducted in the early morning.

Last night, he conducted experiments not only on young men who were causing disturbances in the streets.

Like the Dark Knight, he found some kindred spirits in the long night, punishing evil and upholding justice.

Further experiments yielded a detailed experimental report, providing an in-depth summary of this capability.

First, regarding the quantity and range of effects: the conclusion in this regard is very clear. There is no clear upper limit to the quantity, but the range of effects is strictly limited to the coverage area of ​​one's own divine sense.

Last night, whether it was a single target or a group like the street rioters, it was all happening.

As long as it is under the influence of divine sense, it can exert its influence simultaneously.

Clearly, this ability is like a special "coating" attached to the extended tentacles of his divine consciousness; it cannot function without divine consciousness.

Secondly, the speed of action: there is no delay, no casting animation, as natural and smooth as breathing.

As long as he locks his mind onto the target emotional source within his spiritual range, the influence will be generated almost simultaneously with his thoughts, and he will not be able to perceive its speed limit.

Then, the effect: This ability is not precise mind control that manipulates every specific thought or behavior, but rather tends to reverse the overall emotional tone of the target.

Chen Baiyu can effectively weaken a strong emotion.

It can even be flipped to its opposite.

It's like the excitement of street rageers instantly turning into melancholy.

This change is almost irresistible for ordinary people without special mental protection.

At least he didn't encounter anything he could withstand during last night's experiment.

Like his other mental abilities, this ability is likely to be unstoppable by enemies whose mental attributes are inferior to his.

If you fail the judgment, it's game over.

However, the drawback of this ability is that it cannot specify new emotional content.

Chen Baiyu can change a target's "excitement" to "frustration," but she cannot precisely determine whether the other person is "frustrated because of a breakup" or "frustrated because life is meaningless."

The details seem to be filled in by the target's own experiences and subconscious, making it impossible to describe them in detail.

Finally, regarding the specific consumption of the ability: the answer is that there is basically no consumption.

After spending half the night as a knight in shining armor, searching for scumbags to experiment on, he didn't feel any of his stats decrease.

The slight decrease in magic power and stamina was within the normal fluctuation range, which he considered to be normal consumption during his daily activities.

Therefore, this was the most unexpected and surprising thing for Chen Baiyu.

This means that the mental or magical energy consumed is negligible, as easy as blinking an eye or moving a finger.

Maintaining emotional awareness of multiple targets is effortless.

While this could very well be because he's been consistently beating weaker opponents, he has no way of verifying it since he can't find any high-level opponents to challenge.

In short, this extremely low consumption gives this capability the potential to become a regular feature.

He can be like a radar, constantly aware of the emotions within a ten-meter radius, and exert influence instantly when needed, without worrying about "cooldown" or "endurance" issues like when using the Dragonborn Avatar or Fireball spell.

Thinking.

Chen Baiyu put the last piece of clothing into the suitcase and zipped it up.

This ability is more like an invisible key, opening a door for him to the deeper parts of people's hearts.

It doesn't have a devastating impact, but it possesses a subtle yet penetrating power that reaches the core.

In intelligence gathering, environmental control, covert operations, and even psychological tactics, its value may even exceed that of some directly destructive skills.

Especially when it's necessary to avoid physical conflict and maintain a low profile, it's an elegant solution tailor-made for you.

next moment.

The taxi driver called to let me know that the car he had booked in advance had arrived.

Chen Baiyu immediately took her luggage downstairs. After getting into a car at the entrance of the residential area, she headed straight for the train station.

Because the timing calculation is just right.

We had only been at the train station for less than ten minutes.

The train he was to take arrived at the station, so he quickly checked his ticket and went to the platform as instructed by the announcement, and then boarded the train bound for western Sichuan.

Of course.

Although it's called western Sichuan, it's not actually that far west to the point of reaching those uninhabited plateau areas.

After all, the "Wilderness Adventure" program is just imitating the foreign show "Wilderness Solo". At most, they can apply for some hunting permits and entry permits for no-man's land. They can't do anything more exaggerated.

It's not that hardcore.

At least they won't lead a group of celebrities and so-called survival experts straight into the uninhabited areas of western Sichuan, where even real survival masters would have to take things seriously.

This train actually goes to Leshan.

Or to be more precise, Chen Baiyu's destination today is the Heizhugou National Forest Park in Leshan, Sichuan, which is well-known among the locals.

It wouldn't be wrong to call this part of western Sichuan.

After all, LS City is located in the transition zone from the Sichuan Basin to the southwestern mountains.

Moreover, although Western Sichuan generally refers to the western edge of the Sichuan Basin, its broader scope actually includes Chengdu, Leshan, Deyang, Meishan, Ya'an and other places.

While I was lost in these random thoughts...

Not many people recognized him along the way.

After all, although he can be considered an internet celebrity now, and has become even more popular because of the new short drama that aired today, he is still not famous enough.

They're not even top-tier internet celebrities yet.

Then there's no way they can expect to receive the same treatment as top celebrities, where they'll be recognized wherever they go.

It was almost 1 p.m.

The roar of the trains and the bumpy ride on the winding mountain road finally came to an end in the silence of the engine being turned off.

Chen Baiyu finally arrived at a cluster of guesthouses outside Heizhugou Town.

After opening the car door.

The slightly cool air, carrying the unique fragrance of mountain forest plants, instantly filled my lungs, dispelling the somewhat stuffy atmosphere inside the car.

What lies before you is no longer the bustling street life of Suining, but rather several charming guesthouses built against the mountainside, each with its own unique local character.

Obviously.

The production team turned this place into a temporary base camp.

Before coming, Chen Baiyu had learned about it on WeChat.

The destination for this wilderness survival exercise was Heizhugou National Forest Park.

This is a very famous place.

There is a strong magnetic field interference here. Many explorers and scientific expedition members disappeared in this area many years ago, leaving behind many terrifying legends.

of course.

As a production team focused on filming a program rather than pushing the limits, they naturally wouldn't venture deep into this legendary area. Instead, they would only film within the 20-square-kilometer park on its outskirts that is open to the public.

Meanwhile, during breaks from filming the show.

The accommodation was naturally in a small town inhabited by ethnic minorities, not far from Heizhugou.

"Teacher Chen! Over here!" "You must be tired from your journey! Director Wang specifically asked me to wait for you at the village entrance."

A young staff member wearing a windbreaker with the Wilderness Journey logo and a baseball cap quickly came to greet us.

He had a warm smile on his face.

Chen Baiyu recognized him at a glance; he was one of the director's assistants she had met at Suining Railway Station before.

He nodded slightly, his golden eyes gleaming with a restrained yet strange light in the midday sun: "Director Wang and the others are all inside?"

"Yes, yes, they're all here!"

The assistant nodded in response and offered to help Chen Baiyu with her luggage.

But when his gaze inadvertently swept across Chen Baiyu's eyes, he was clearly stunned.

I was briefly drawn in by the inhuman gold color and the vertical pupil structure.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Chen Baiyu avoided the staff member's outstretched hand that froze in mid-air, easily picked up the not-so-heavy luggage and walked forward.

His luggage was extremely minimal.

A few durable outdoor garments, some essential personal items, that's all.

His extraordinary physical condition meant he didn't need to prepare too many unnecessary burdens to face the upcoming wilderness environment.

The assistant director realized what was happening, immediately turned around and followed Chen Baiyu, leading the way for him.

The two walked through the small courtyard paved with stone slabs and headed towards the largest guesthouse.

Under the wooden porch.

A familiar figure was standing with his hands on his hips, speaking rapidly into the phone.

That was Wang Zheng, the chief director of this program.

After Wang Zheng saw Chen Baiyu.

His eyes widened noticeably for a moment, then he immediately hung up the phone.

He immediately strode out to greet them, his face instantly beaming with an infectious smile.

Chen Baiyu could tell from her ability to sense emotions that this was genuine happiness, not some fake smile meant to please.

"Teacher Chen! We've been waiting for you!"

Wang Zheng's voice was loud and clear.

It seems that he picked up his accent by chatting with locals during the days he spent scouting the area in advance, as it sounds like the cheerful and straightforward accent unique to the western Sichuan plateau.

He couldn't help but start flattering me right away, his eyes full of undisguised admiration as he said, "As soon as 'The Buried Hero,' the movie you starred in, was released online early this morning, Lao Hong kept tagging me and telling me to watch it. Once I saw it, I couldn't help but stay up all night and binge-watched it!"

"Putting aside the rest of the show, your portrayal of 'Elderlin the Wizard' was absolutely brilliant!"

"That aura, that gaze! If you were to enter the entertainment industry, who would stand a chance against you?"

Wang Zheng's praise came like a machine gun, and he practically spat out saliva.

Chen Baiyu understood that this was not just because of appreciation.

Or perhaps it's because they feel they made the right choice in judging people and are happy that their decision to pay more was correct.

After all, he faced some pressure when he insisted on giving Chen Baiyu a better-paying contract despite opposition; the production team wasn't his personal fiduciary.

As expected, Chen Baiyu has become even more popular, which naturally proves that Director Wang Zheng's decision was correct.

Chen Baiyu simply smiled calmly and said nothing.

In short, since it's a nice thing to say...

He didn't interrupt.

Flattery will get you everywhere; who doesn't like to hear nice things?
As Wang Zheng got into the conversation, he instinctively leaned closer.

however.

The moment his gaze truly focused on Chen Baiyu's face, he felt as if he had been struck by an invisible electric current.

"Uh……"

Wang Zheng's voice abruptly stopped, as if all his words were being choked by an invisible hand.

He leaned forward slightly, his face no more than a foot away from Chen Baiyu's.

He hadn't paid much attention to Chen Baiyu's changes because his eyesight wasn't very good before.

Now that he's closer, he can clearly see those distinctive golden eyes.

What is this...?

Colored contact lenses?
But···
That's so cool!

He stared at those vertical pupils, which, even under the shadow of the indoor eaves, still possessed an incredibly clear, molten gold-like luster.

Wang Zheng had a lot to say, but he couldn't say anything at all.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the pillars from the side, with a few rays landing precisely on those eyes.

In an instant, his golden eyes seemed to be ignited.

The golden quality deep within his pupils became even more profound.

It suddenly added an indescribable sense of alienation and the oppressive feeling of an ancient creature to Chen Baiyu's originally gentle and calm face.

Time seemed to be stretched at this moment.

The assistant stood by, barely daring to breathe, somewhat bewildered by Director Wang's abrupt pause.

It took about three or four seconds.

Wang Zheng seemed to have finally found his voice. His finger trembled as he pointed at Chen Baiyu's eyes, stammering, "Are these your custom-made colored contact lenses? This look is amazing! Absolutely stunning!"

Despite being quite old, he still couldn't contain himself.

His hands were trembling as if he had discovered a rare treasure, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

In the eyes of artists.

In the eyes of this group of people who are more discerning.

Actually, you can better appreciate the allure of those golden eyes.

Those vertical pupils look wild, ancient, and mysterious!

It even carried a touch of the indifference of a top predator!

People with this kind of temperament don't even need much special effects to play powerful roles in movies.

Because any viewer who sees those eyes will immediately understand how terrifyingly strong this person is.

This is the gaze of someone who exudes power.

No one would think that the person with those eyes is someone to be trifled with.

"No! We absolutely cannot come in like this!"

Engrossed in the moment, Wang Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh.

He suddenly had a brilliant idea.

She was so excited about the idea that her face flushed with excitement, "Teacher Chen, please help me! Please help me a lot!"

"Please cooperate, come back in now!"

As Wang Zheng spoke, he couldn't help but lean closer, as if waiting for Chen Baiyu's reply.

He even put his hands together in prayer.

He made a gesture towards Chen Baiyu that was almost pleading, but more of a fanatical one.

Chen Baiyu was stunned by his appearance.

He then explained rapidly, like a machine gun firing, "Teacher Chen! Just one minute! No, thirty seconds! Don't do anything! Just stay in this state, like you just got out of the car and walked here, and 'arrive' here again! Walk from the courtyard gate to here!"

"Remember the look! The key is the look! Maintain that feeling of looking down on everyone!"

"I have a feeling that if this footage is filmed and put in the opening clips or trailers of the show, it will be absolutely phenomenal! The audience will go crazy!"
