I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

That was a girl who meticulously dressed up as Narcida, the Grass Goddess from Genshin Impact; her makeup and clothing were exquisite.

Li Hengkang immediately got to work and warmly invited her to the center of the lantern array.

"Okay, let's begin! Yes, do one of her basic attack animations, yes... very good!"

Li Hengkang was completely immersed in the shooting. He focused on guiding the poses and pressed the shutter quickly and accurately, as if everything around him did not exist.

Adhering to Master Yi's saying, "A true master always has the heart of a student," Chen Fei quietly observed and learned his composition and guiding techniques.

Just as he was engrossed in his studies, a clear and rhythmic sound of high heels approached him from afar.

Chen Fei seemed to sense something and turned to look.

The crowd seemed to be disturbed by an invisible aura, automatically parting slightly to both sides.

A dazzling figure, so radiant it takes your breath away, is gracefully approaching.

It's Lu Ziyue.

Chen Fei didn't know what character she was cosplaying today, but he thought she looked exceptionally professional.

The black and white short jacket has a futuristic feel, and when draped over one shoulder, it cleverly reveals one rounded shoulder and delicate collarbone.

Beneath the layered skirt, a pair of long, beautiful legs, tightly encased in top-quality black stockings, possessed flawless lines and gleamed with an alluring, delicate sheen under the exhibition hall's lights.

Her long, light brown curly hair cascaded down her shoulders, and a pair of incredibly realistic animal ears in the same color swayed gently with her steps.

Top-tier beauty, an irresistibly hot figure, meticulously crafted makeup and styling, and a powerful aura honed through countless cameras and fan encounters...

Lu Ziyue's mere presence was like a walking spotlight, instantly drawing all eyes to the area.

A suppressed gasp and a flurry of camera shutters erupted nearby; many people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Chen Fei was also amazed by Lu Ziyue at this moment. This visually striking presentation was completely different from her fresh and cute Lolita style yesterday.

He asked instinctively, "Who are you cosplaying? The outfit is quite unique, a character from a recent game?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyue, who was walking towards him, stumbled almost imperceptibly and nearly lost her balance.

She raised her eyes, adorned with light blue contact lenses, and stared at Chen Fei in disbelief, her suspicions growing stronger.

Despite the overwhelming publicity campaign on Hypergryph's website, there were actually people at the comic convention who didn't recognize Perika?

This guy's human identity is becoming increasingly suspicious. If it weren't for his photography skills, I would have turned around and left immediately.

Lu Ziyue walked up to Chen Fei and stood in front of him, hands on her hips in an annoyed manner, a gesture that accentuated her curves.

She slightly raised her chin and explained in a haughty tone:

"Perika from Arknights: The End! The game's mascot! You don't even recognize her, and you dare say you're at a comic convention?"

After speaking, to emphasize her professionalism and charm, she naturally turned to the side and struck a pose reminiscent of Perikada's iconic stance in the game's promotional image, her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked diagonally upward, her jawline clear and beautiful.

This was like pouring cold water into boiling oil; the boys who had been itching to take pictures could no longer contain themselves and immediately surrounded the area with their phones to take photos.

"Holy crap! It's Perikatan Benka! It's such a perfect replica!"

"Goddess! Can I take a picture with you? Just one!"

Lu Ziyue seemed to be used to this kind of scene, skillfully switching back to her sweet, business-like smile to respond to their requests.

During this time, she didn't forget to throw a provocative eyebrow at Chen Fei, as if to say, "See? This is the kind of status I have."

At that moment, Li Hengkang had just finished guiding the Grass God cosplayer to complete the last pose and was satisfied with taking all the photos.

"Great! Fantastic! This set feels amazing!" he said, glancing down at the camera as he prepared to finish up.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Li!" the Grass God cosplayer said with satisfaction.

"It's no trouble at all, I'll send you the final cut later!" Li Hengkang smiled and looked up, preparing to share his filming experience with Chen Fei.

His gaze inadvertently passed over Chen Fei's shoulder.

Then, the smile on his face froze, his hand, which was about to raise to point at the camera, stopped in mid-air, and his pupils contracted in shock.

In his line of sight was a girl with top-notch looks, a stunning figure, and a powerful aura, who was instantly surrounded by a crowd taking pictures.

"I...I..."

Li Hengkang's lips trembled twice, but he couldn't utter a complete sound. He turned his head sharply to look at Chen Fei beside him, his finger trembling as he pointed in Lu Ziyue's direction.

His voice trembled with shock and excitement.

"Chen Fei!! She's the... friend you were talking about?!"

He gripped Chen Fei's arm tightly, with terrifying force, but his eyes were glued to Lu Ziyue, unable to look away. He growled incoherently:

"Moon Rabbit! Lu Ziyue! She actually came to Guangzhou, my god... the accuracy... the expressiveness... this... this is simply..."

He snapped back to reality, his face instantly lighting up with the gleam of a passionate photographer seeing the top-quality footage he had been dreaming of, his previous professional refusal completely forgotten.

He said urgently to Chen Fei:

"Chen Fei, I was wrong just now! I didn't recognize your talent. Please help me, please ask her if I can take a few pictures, just a few!"

Seeing Li Hengkang's drastically different and almost out-of-control reaction, Chen Fei felt that Lu Ziyue was very eye-catching.

But this kind of fervor, as if they had reached the ceiling of the industry, still surprised and puzzled him, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Li, Lu Ziyue... is she really that good? I think she's just a pretty cosplayer."

"A pretty good-looking cosplayer?!" Li Hengkang was exasperated when he heard this.

He pointed to Lu Ziyue, who was surrounded and acted like a queen not far away, and said urgently in a low voice:

"Chen Fei! Look at this! Take a good look! This body proportion, this face, this level of makeup accuracy, and her aura! Is this the level that ordinary cosplayers can achieve?"

She's Lu Ziyue, the industry's undisputed benchmark for quality! Getting a proper set of photos taken by her is a dream come true for many photographers and a chance to enhance their resumes!

She usually wouldn't even bother hiring individual photographers like us; she always brings her own team! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, bro!

Seeing that Chen Fei still didn't fully appreciate the value of this, Li Hengkang practically grabbed his shoulders and shook him: "Anyway, since you know him, do me a favor, and I'll give you a Sony 24-70mm lens later!"

"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try." Chen Fei was both amused and exasperated by his attitude, and nodded in agreement.

The two immediately squeezed towards the outer edge of the crowd where Lu Ziyue was.

However, at this moment, Lu Ziyue was surrounded by layers of photographers and fans, all vying for a good angle, creating a lively and even somewhat crowded atmosphere.

As Chen Fei and Li Hengkang tried to squeeze in, they immediately drew the ire of several boys who were standing on tiptoe to find the right angle.

A guy wearing a photographer's vest and a telephoto lens around his neck frowned and blocked the way, his tone unfriendly: "Hey buddy, don't you know what first come, first served? I finally managed to snag this spot, I'm waiting in line."

Another guy holding a selfie stick chimed in, "Yeah, everyone knows Miss Perika is pretty and wants to take pictures, but there has to be some order, right? Pushing like this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Chen Fei's lips twitched slightly, and he silently thought to himself: If I weren't here, the person you wanted to film wouldn't have even come to this corner...
