I changed the world.

This can be seen from the fact that in the past few days, several major video platforms have taken the initiative to reach out to Ai Dong, the marketing director, hoping to obtain the online premiere rights after the film is released, and have offered relatively generous terms.

Therefore, director Sun Yue has been in a very good mood these past few days, with a smile on his face all day long. The rest of the crew is also quite excited, because if the film is a box office hit, according to the usual practice in the industry, everyone will get a red envelope.

That evening, shortly after Sun Yue returned to his room, drunk, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Sun Yue opened the door, only to find that the person standing outside was Ai Dong, the marketing director.

"Director Sun, I just received a call from the 'Movie 1+1' program team, inviting you to be a guest on next week's program."

"Oh? Is that so?" Sun Yue perked up upon hearing this, and his drunkenness dissipated considerably. "Movie 1+1" is one of the city's long-running programs, airing weekly and having run for nearly 100 episodes to date. It's a talk show primarily featuring new movies that have generated considerable buzz, and as the director, this was the first time he had been invited to participate.

"Yes, if you think it's okay, I'll call back and get back to you."

"Okay, I'll reply to them and I'll be there on time."

P.S.: I'd like to especially thank Brother Yinmiao for the Silver Treasure Chest reward, thank you so much! Also, thank you to Brothers Dreamy Eternal Sleep, Name Is Hard to Think QAQ, What's the Matter, Salty Fish Candle, Death Blade Scorpion, Leisurely Breeze, Rice Jar, Here, Orderly Neutral, Heavenly Cloud Nanjing, and Misty Shadows and Clouds for their generous rewards, thank you again!

Chapter 86 The Highly Efficient Flower Master

Special Event: You saved actress Li Yun. This event has been filmed and uploaded by the crew of "After the Sword is Sealed"...

Your actions have significantly altered the perception of Taoism among a small number of people... and this disturbance is still expanding.

A total of 11893 wish points have been added. (3965 wish points were added yesterday)

Special Event: You have released an original song, "Thoughts Across Time," on "Shell Music" under the stage name "...".

You and your songs have garnered attention to a certain extent, causing a slight disturbance in the consciousness of the world's underclass.

A total of 1848 wish points have been added. (365 wish points were added yesterday)

Special Incident: A local spirit has been found haunting No. 356, Mijiafang, Nanmen District, Kuaizhou City. A victim has been identified, and one citizen and three criminal police officers have been involved. This incident has been resolved by you.

The streamer "Master Hua" has posted related videos on platforms such as "Kulv Live", "Jiuzhou Forum", "Youle", and "FreeLiving", which have already attracted attention in a small circle.

You dealt with five vengeful spirits, and you have received a reward from the lowest level of the world's consciousness.

Your actions have led to a significant shift in some people's understanding of materialism, and a minor disturbance to the consciousness of the world's lower classes, which is currently expanding.

A total of 5389 wish points have been added.

The above-mentioned special events were the most rapid in increasing Wish Points this time, while other special events, combined, also provided Zhang Jing with a small increase in Wish Points. This time, Zhang Jing hadn't expected Master Hua's efficiency...

In this way, Zhang Jing discovered that although he had used up another 6000 wishing points last time, the number of wishing points in his wishing book had climbed to 22376. Overall, the accumulation of wishing points was quite rapid, and it seemed that there was still considerable potential for growth.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jing traveled back to his home. He checked the time; it was already 19:18 PM. Zhang Jing ordered a bunch of takeout food on his phone and then connected to the internet.

He first opened "Beike Music" and found that the number of people he was following had been rising. He had to admit that this recommendation was really powerful.

The comment section on his personal homepage was already flooded with messages, mostly from fans. However, there were also some commercial offers, such as signing invitations from music companies, participation in music awards, or invitations to attend events. Even his personal email inbox was filled with similar messages. Zhang Jing glanced at these messages, their veracity uncertain, and decided to ignore them, finding no interest in verifying their authenticity. Ultimately, music was merely a tentative endeavor for Zhang Jing, fueled by a small element of passion, but he had no intention of becoming a high-profile public figure through this path.

After all, he didn't want to be in the spotlight.

Regarding the incident involving the "After Sealing the Sword" production team, Zhang Jing discovered an interesting phenomenon: when he searched on the Endless Network, he found that some members of the Xuanmen religious community had shared the incident with their own food and, in many comments, implicitly referred to the "master" as a high-ranking Xuanmen immortal in a secluded mountain.

However, this was exactly the effect Zhang Jing originally wanted to achieve. Judging from the description of the event in the wishing book, "your actions have greatly changed the perception of Xuanmen among a small number of people." Due to the special status of Liyang Mountain as one of the thirty-six Xuanmen Grotto-Heavens, those netizens who chose to believe the event generally categorized him with the traditional impression of "Xuanmen masters."

Of course, based on the online attention, Zhang Jing believes that most netizens are treating this as a marketing event; otherwise, he would have received far more wish points than he has now.

Even so, the escalation of this event is far from over, and tens of thousands more wish points are expected to be added in the future.

What intrigued Zhang Jing even more was the incident of the earthbound spirit haunting Kuaizhou City. Although he had anticipated that something special would happen in the wishing book, the fact that he could gain so much in such a short time was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Zhang Jing first opened the "Zi Bu Yu" sub-forum of the "Jiuzhou Forum" to check, only to find that the post titled "There really are ghosts in this world!!!!! What should I do, masters?!!!" posted by "Living Long Enough to See Ghosts" had been pinned to the top, and the subsequent comments had been scrolled to more than a hundred pages. In addition, another post following this one was also pinned, posted by an account with the ID "Master Hua", titled: "Risking my life to explore a haunted house at night, the world's first filming of real ghosts and exorcisms, with video evidence!" The popularity of this post was also astonishing, with even more comments than the previous post.

He first clicked on the "Living Long Encounters Ghosts" post, quickly flipped through a few pages, and soon discovered that the post had exploded because an ID named "Master Flower" posted a post at 20:13 on July 30th. The post described his experience of exploring a haunted house and told everyone that he had started a new thread to release an exclusive video to prove that what he said was true, and provided a link to the post.

Many of the new comments that followed used exaggerated tones to urge others to look at "Master Hua's" new post. From these netizens' replies, Zhang Jing could see their shock:

"Holy crap, there really is something fishy going on! Everyone, go check out 'Master Hua's' new post, it's amazing!"

"To be honest, my worldview is a bit shattered. Are there any local friends who can go and confirm whether it's really true?"

"I came all the way from 'Youle' website to check this out. Does anyone know if this is real? Isn't it just some movie promotion?"

"Could this be a publicity stunt? I'm still a little skeptical..."

"As a professional in film and television post-production, I can tell you with absolute certainty that this video shows no signs of post-production editing. In other words, it is FREE!"

Zhang Jing then clicked on the new post published by "Master Hua." Master Hua began by describing the entire incident and his own experiences in a suspenseful manner. After reading the post, half of Zhang Jing's doubts were resolved; he was basically certain of Master Hua's identity.

After watching the video, he became even more certain of his guess. It was obvious that this "Master Hua" was the young man who wanted to become his apprentice, since there were only three police officers and this young man present at the time, and one of the police officers had died on the spot. The angle from which the video was filmed also corroborated this.

Judging from the video, he must be wearing electronic glasses. I really didn't expect that... Zhang Jing thought to himself.

To ensure the video's authenticity, "Master Hua" did not edit it, a point he himself acknowledged in his post. The video begins with Master Hua's brief introduction of the incident, followed by a playback of the footage. Initially, it shows Master Hua filming scenes along the way at Mijiafang and ultimately finding the haunted house at number 356 using an electronic map. This is accompanied by Master Hua's own narration, and the overall style is somewhat similar to some travel videos.

As "Master Hua" scaled the wall and entered the haunted house, the video's style rapidly shifted towards a supernatural special effects movie. The filming ended when the black mist dissipated, the mysterious figure disappeared, and the police asked "Master Hua" to cooperate with the investigation. Perhaps to avoid unnecessary trouble, the faces of the police officers appearing in the video were blurred. At the end of the video, "Master Hua" reappeared, reviewing some key moments from the video, including his feelings at the time—a kind of bonus segment.

It must be said that because the video was produced in such a realistic way, the number of posts below it is constantly increasing. Zhang Jing noticed that the number of views for this post has exceeded 100 million, which is quite an exaggerated number for a forum post.

The replies below the post were also quite heated, clearly divided into several camps:

"That expert who appeared at the end was amazing. Is it really possible for a human to do something like that?"

“I feel it’s possible. When I was a child, my grandfather told me that when he was young, he met a wandering monk who could easily drive nails into stones.”

"The person upstairs is talking nonsense. That's magic, okay? There have been videos debunking that before. This video is so fake, it's obviously special effects used to get clicks..."

"The person upstairs doesn't know anything and is talking nonsense. There used to be Taoist priests practicing in the mountains near our village. The older generation said they could fly over rooftops and walk on walls. I guess they were like the ones in the videos. Last time I went back to the village, I heard that the Taoist priest had passed away. It's a pity he didn't pass on any disciples."

"I want to learn, does anyone know where I can find someone like that?"

"Don't be fooled by the poster upstairs. This is definitely special effects, just to get clicks. But to be honest, it's pretty good. Just watch it like a movie."

"I think it's a trailer...maybe it's a new promotional tactic."

"Holy crap, I'm too scared to sleep tonight. Someone died in our building before, could some kind of monster appear...?"

..............................

Zhang Jing scrolled down and watched for half an hour without realizing it, feeling a little happy... Then, he went to platforms such as "YouLe" and "FreeLiving" and found that more than one account had started to share the video, and the barrage of comments in the video was also dense. It seemed that it had indeed attracted a lot of attention.

He even saw more than one paranormal content creator using this video as material to comment on it. Of course, there were all sorts of opinions, but even so, it indirectly increased the video's reach.

Judging from this trend, the 5389 wish points should only be the beginning... Zhang Jing pondered to himself. However, this incident is obviously much more subversive than the "master's intervention" in "After Sealing the Sword". He wondered if the government would intervene.

After watching a few more short videos, Zhang Jing, still somewhat unsatisfied, put down his phone and summoned the wishing book once more:

"I wish that I will obtain the best Heavenly Venerable Path Transformation Realm cultivation technique for me."

Zhang Jing made his most pressing wish, specifically stating in it, "The strongest for me." This was because, as his understanding of information related to the extraordinary deepened, he realized that even within the same path, there were many sects, and naturally, many different levels of cultivation techniques. Of course, for a cultivator, the quality of a technique was also closely related to factors such as their individual physique. Therefore, Zhang Jing added this limitation to his wish to ensure that he wouldn't obtain a inferior technique.

Then, he saw the black wish appear on the wishing book, which, according to past experience, meant that his wish had been fulfilled.

After that, it's just a matter of waiting for fate to reward you...

About fifteen minutes later, Zhang Jing's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Mr. Zheng Han, the owner of Jiguzhai, calling.

"Hello, is this Uncle Baoping?"

"Haha, everything went smoothly thanks to you. How are you feeling? Hmm, hmm..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the old gentleman explained his purpose. It turned out that ever since Zhang Jing mentioned to the old gentleman that he wanted to collect jade, crystal, and other antiques from the Jian pottery era and asked him to keep an eye out for them, the old man had been thinking about it, and now, there was a result.

According to the old man, an old friend of his, who had known him for many years, was the steward of the Li family, a prominent clan in Linzhou. The patriarch had recently passed away, and he had amassed a considerable collection of antiques, including some Jian ware pieces. After his death, his children were not very interested in these items and wanted to sell them. Mr. Zheng Han remembered Zhang Jing's request and called to ask if he would be interested in going to take a look together.

Having decided that his opportunity lay here, Zhang Jing naturally agreed without hesitation. Thus, the two arranged to meet at the Jigu Zhai shop the next afternoon.

....................................

Currently, there is one more thing for Zhang Jing to do, which is to buy a car.

He had already gotten his driver's license some time ago, and since he had the funds at the moment, he decided to buy himself a vehicle.

In fact, Zhang Jing had been thinking about buying a car for quite some time. In his previous life, he was a car enthusiast, but unfortunately, he could only fantasize about it online most of the time, and in the end, he only bought a mainstream car worth about 200,000 yuan.

The main reason was that he was short of money, but in this world, he felt that he could finally let loose and be himself. He was a little excited about it.

He acted immediately. In fact, he had already chosen the brand and all he needed to do was head to the 4S store to place the order.

Dressed neatly, Zhang Jing went out and hailed a taxi. About twenty minutes later, he was standing in front of a "Knight" brand car dealership.

Chapter 87 Desert Falcon

This is a 4S store located in the northwest suburbs of Linzhou City. The entire store has a modern design, with a large open glass curtain wall and a huge car advertising display board above the store.

Zhang Jing walked to the shop entrance, and the electronically controlled glass doors slid open automatically to both sides. On each side of the door, a young woman dressed in gorgeous Da Zhao court lady attire bowed and gave him a curtsy.

Zhang Jing paused briefly, nodded slightly, and then continued walking inside.

Several sample cars were displayed in the hall, all of which were the latest models of the "Knight" brand. "Knight" is a luxury car brand under Saxon Metals Company from the Holstein Empire. It mainly focuses on the research and development of off-road vehicles and station wagons, and is also an important military vehicle supplier for the Holstein Empire's military.

Its products enjoy a good reputation worldwide and are known for their precision, high rigidity, and powerful performance.

Zhang Jing quickly found his target: the "Desert Falcon" model, launched just last year. It's an off-road vehicle with a four-wheel drive system and a muscular body. In terms of its energy system, it's equipped with advanced black phosphorus batteries, offering a significant improvement in energy storage capacity compared to common graphene batteries. This allows it to be fitted with a high-performance electric propulsion engine with greater thrust, making its overall powertrain among the best in its class. The interior is also luxurious, featuring stylish design, a high-grade air filtration system, a premium sound system, and leather seats. Zhang Jing tried sitting in the demo car and found it quite appealing.

A pretty saleswoman quickly approached Zhang Jing, politely greeted him, and asked if he needed any information about the vehicle. Zhang Jing shook his head, indicating that he knew about it, and asked if he could take it for a test drive.
