A screenshot suddenly led to the emergence of various anime and manga fan groups.

It even appeared in several large A-share chat groups.

[Screenshot of a product from Xianyu: A-Guang's autographed first-print limited edition Ultraman Tiga art book, priced at NT$99999.00]

The screenshot went viral, sparking considerable discussion.

"How much? Ninety-nine thousand?! That's enough to buy a Wuling co-branded car, right?!"

"First-edition limited edition + A-Guang's autograph + group photo at the first delivery ceremony, with all these buffs stacked up, it doesn't seem so hard to understand, does it?"

"I remember at the handover ceremony, Ah-Guang only signed autographs for those few lucky owners, right? That's a really rare number."

"Need money urgently? Is this just a publicity stunt?"

"I've already messaged the seller privately to ask if installment payments are possible. (doge.jpg)"

"Hey rich guy upstairs, give me a 50 RMB discount and let's see what you've got!"

Soon, resourceful netizens uncovered even more information.

"Found it! The phone number associated with the seller's Xianyu ID belongs to someone surnamed Luo, who is indeed from City A."

Moreover, he was one of the first owners of the Wuling co-branded model, with his owner number starting with A003, which matches the delivery ceremony time!

Surprisingly, several well-off collectors actually contacted the seller privately.

However, the communication did not seem to go smoothly, and the deal ultimately failed.

A wealthy man who participated in the purchase revealed this in a small group chat.

"The other party's attitude was strange. They really wanted to sell the items, but when it came to the specific transaction and price, they hesitated, as if they weren't just after the money."

When asked about the specific difficulties, he refused to elaborate, and the matter was ultimately left unresolved.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Ultimately, it was concluded that this was just a lucky car owner showing off his collection and testing the market reaction.

The topic's popularity gradually subsided.

However, the meme "Ah-Kuang's autograph is worth 99,000" has stuck.

……

Land of Light Animation Studio.

Su Xiaoran walked into Yang Qian's office carrying a stack of documents for her routine work report.

Near the end, she seemed to suddenly remember something, her tone slightly teasing.

"By the way, Director Yang, I have something interesting to report to you. Your value on salted fish has risen to 99,000."

"Um?"

Yang Qian looked up from a storyboard, a puzzled expression on her face.

Su Xiaoran smiled and handed over her phone, which displayed the widely circulated screenshot.

Yang Qian took it, carefully examined the product description and pictures, and frowned slightly.

"It's my signature, and the art book number matches. It's one of the batches sent out at the delivery ceremony."

He confirmed it.

"Ninety-nine thousand? That's worth a lot?"

"Things are valued because they are rare."

Su Xiaoran smiled.

"How about I organize all those discarded posters you left over from practicing your signature and sell them as salted fish?"

"Just consider it as earning some extra money for the studio."

"Here you go, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

Yang Qian answered casually, but her mind was still on that screenshot.

He clicked on the salted fish app, searched for it himself, and found the original product page.

There's a photo of him and the car owner right above.

Yang Qian remembers him, a young car owner.

When handing over the car, Yang Qian asked one more question.

"Was this car bought for your family?"

The other person smiled憨厚ly.

"I bought this for myself! I've been a huge fan of the Land of Light since Ultraman Tiga! This car is a reward I gave myself after I started working!"

Would a fan like this sell their treasured, autographed art book?

And it's priced so outrageously.

"Xiaoran."

Yang Qian put down her phone.

"Please contact this seller for me using the studio's official email address. Be sincere and ask if they've encountered any difficulties."

Su Xiaoran put away her joking expression.

"Director Yang, what do you think...?"

"He is both a Wuling car owner and a long-time fan who has followed the series since Ultraman Tiga. He wouldn't have thought of this unless he was desperate."

"What if it really is just a publicity stunt?"

Su Xiaoran asked.

"Then consider it as us meddling in other people's business."

Yang Qian smiled.

"But what if it's true?"

……

The official email was sent out and a reply was received quickly.

The reply was brief, only stating that he "did encounter some financial problems, but was working to resolve them, and thanked them for their concern."

If it causes trouble for the Land of Light, he can step forward to clarify.

The reply also included an address.

Yang Qian stared at the address and remained silent for a moment.

"Xiao Ran, make the arrangements. We'll go there tomorrow morning."

"You're going in person?"

Su Xiaoran was surprised.

"Um."

Yang Qian nodded.

"Call Xiao Zhang from the legal department and have the legal team revisit the area to verify the extent of the leaks."

"I'll go with you, and we'll disguise ourselves."

The next day, a Wuling minivan parked at the entrance of the other party's residential area.

Yang Qian, wearing a hat and mask and a gray sweatshirt, followed behind Attorney Zhang and Su Xiaoran.

It's like he's their assistant.

When the door was opened, a young man in a wheelchair stood there.

It was Luo Zheng.

Upon seeing the three people standing outside the door, especially the badge of the Ministry of Justice of the Land of Light on Attorney Zhang's chest, Luo Zheng's face turned pale instantly.

"Please, please come in..."

His voice sounded a little nervous as he struggled to maneuver his wheelchair aside to clear the doorway.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to alarm the Land of Light. I... I'll take that artbook down immediately!"

"I'm so sorry!"

He thought that the trouble was caused by his act of selling official freebies.

Su Xiaoran quickly explained gently, "Mr. Luo, please don't be nervous. We're not here to hold you accountable."

"Our leader saw the message and was worried that you might be having some difficulties, so they sent us to find out what happened."

"This is Attorney Zhang from our legal department, I'm Assistant Xiao Su, and this is... Assistant Yang."

Yang Qian nodded to Luo Zheng without saying anything.

Luo Zheng nervously invited the three people into the living room.

After some communication, the truth gradually came to light.

Three months ago, Luo was on his way home from get off work when a child was about to be hit by an out-of-control electric scooter.

He rushed forward and pushed the child away, but he was caught in the fall, suffering a severe injury to his right leg and spinal injury.

The surgery was a success.

Although he survived, he was left with a disability in his right leg and will require long-term rehabilitation.

The spine also needs regular treatment.

The recognition of the act of bravery was quickly determined.

However, the compensation process is lengthy and the treatment costs are high.

He was forced to resign from his original job because he was unable to report to work for an extended period.

To pay for medical expenses and make a living, he sold his beloved Wuling co-branded car and many other valuables.

Finally, only some areas surrounding the Land of Light remained.

"Those merchandise items weren't expensive when we bought them, so they don't fetch a good price now."

Luo Zheng smiled wryly.

"The most valuable thing is probably this art book."

"I listed it for 99,000, but I knew it was unlikely to sell."

I was just thinking of setting a high price to attract people to click and take a look, and maybe there would be someone who really knows their stuff and likes it who would come and chat with me…”

He lowered his head.

"I didn't mean to bring shame to the Land of Light, really... I just... had no other choice."

A moment of silence fell over the living room.

Su Xiaoran's eyes reddened slightly, and she turned her face away.

Attorney Zhang coughed lightly and looked at Yang Qian.

Yang Qian had been listening quietly until now, when he finally spoke slowly.

"Mr. Luo, please don't sell the art book."

Luo Zheng trembled and lowered his head even further.

"Yes, I understand, I'll take it down as soon as I get back..."

"I did not mean that."

Yang Qian interrupted him.

"What I mean is, that's your stuff, your memories. Don't sell it because of current difficulties."

"We can work together to find solutions to difficulties."

Luo Zheng was stunned.

Yang Qian looked at him and asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Mr. Luo, what do you think of the Land of Light?"

Although Luo Zheng was puzzled, he still answered seriously.

"Excellent, it's the most humane and idealistic company I've ever met."

"To be honest, before the incident, I even secretly submitted my resume to your studio, but unfortunately, I studied mechanical engineering, which is not related to my major, so it was all for naught."

He smiled, a hint of self-deprecation in his expression.

"Now that's the case, it's even less likely."

"Administration, logistics, materials management, and even warehouse coordination... these jobs don't necessarily require specific expertise, but they do require meticulousness and a strong sense of responsibility."

Su Xiaoran responded at the right moment.

"Mr. Luo, with your experience and eloquence, you are fully capable of the job."

Luo Zheng shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness. But I am now disabled, and even getting around is difficult for me."

"I can't even pass the first round of interviews at many companies, so why would a star company like the Land of Light want me?"

Yang Qian was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked.

"Mr. Luo, if I may ask, do you regret saving that person?"

Luo Zheng's body trembled slightly.

He remained silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"To be honest, I have had moments of regret."

He raised his head.

"But at that moment, as I watched the child about to be hit, my body acted faster than my brain."

"If I had to do it all over again, I would probably still rush in."

"That was a life, and behind it was a family."

Yang Qian stared at him quietly for a few seconds.

Then, he reached out and slowly took off his hat and mask.

Luo Zheng's eyes widened instantly. This person...

"Mr. Luo, please introduce yourself."

Yang Qian stood up, knelt on one knee, and extended her hand to him.

"My name is Yang Qian, you can also call me A-Guang."

Luo Zheng's lips trembled as he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, then at Su Xiaoran and Lawyer Zhang.

Su Xiaoran nodded with a smile.

Luo Zheng suddenly covered his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes without warning, and his shoulders began to tremble violently.

All the grievances, hardships, and loneliness poured out at this moment.

Yang Qian patiently waited for him to calm down before speaking again.

"Now, Mr. Luo, as the founder of the Land of Light Animation Studio, I formally invite you to join us."

"The position can be in administration and logistics, fan relations, or other positions that you are interested in."

We will provide you with a barrier-free working environment and reasonable compensation.

"You have protected the light of a family."

"Now, it is our turn to protect your light."

Luo Zheng was sobbing uncontrollably, and could only nod forcefully, again and again.

"I...I do...Thank you...Thank you so much, Mr. A-Guang..."

……

That afternoon, Yang Qian updated her personal Weibo account with a post:

[Light Country Animation Studio - Hikaru]:

"Regarding the recently circulated autographed design set, we have contacted and communicated with the owner of the item."

The owner is a respectable person, and the difficulties have now been properly resolved.

The art book will not be sold; it will forever belong to its original owner.

Thank you to all the friends who care about this matter.

another:

All souvenirs given to fans by the official Land of Light belong to the individual fans and they have the right to dispose of them as they see fit.

We only hope that every gift that carries memories can be treated with kindness.

Without revealing details, the incident was brought to a perfect close.

Comment area.

"Everbright is still Everbright! It still has a human touch!"

"So they really encountered difficulties? Everbright stepped in and solved it? Awesome!"

"There seems to be a story behind this, but since Everbright isn't saying anything, we won't pry. We respect that!"

"I'm moved to tears. This is what an idol should be like!"

"So, is that art book even more valuable now? (Just kidding)"

"The person upstairs is ruining the atmosphere! Drag them out and execute them!"

"Tell me, are you a Grongi? Or an Oxus?"

……

Park Manager's Office.

Li Lin is answering the phone.

"Yes, sir! Please rest assured, the Land of Light will live up to your expectations and successfully complete the mission!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the date marked with a red circle on the calendar.

Previously, it was just a vague guess.

Unexpectedly, the official premiere date of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things" ultimately chosen by the higher authorities turned out to be this very day.

It seems this animation carries more weight than we imagined.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Light.

"Welcome new Ultra Warrior, Luo Zheng, to the Land of Light!"
