Film and Television: Starting with Using AI to Solve the Rare Chess Puzzle

The penthouse at Lake Green Mansion in Shanghai.

Night has fallen!

The curtains on the French windows weren't fully drawn, and a sliver of moonlight peeked in and fell onto the bed.

Lu Ming lay on the bed with his arm around Xu Jingyan's slender waist. She was already fast asleep. He stared at the virtual screen in front of him, looking at the two new world options that had appeared on it—Douluo Continent and Ling Cage.

Neither world is safe for him now, but he still prefers Douluo Continent. The Ling Cage World is too dangerous, there is no order, and the ground is full of Devouring Beasts. Who knows what state he is in the eyes of the Devouring Beasts with his current cultivation level? He could be surrounded and attacked by a group of Devouring Beasts if he is not careful.

Ordinary Devouring Beasts are manageable, but those at the Transformation or Monarch levels are definitely beyond his current capabilities.

Although Douluo Continent is more dangerous, and fantasy is fantasy after all, the combat power there is definitely beyond his current capabilities, but at least there is order there. As long as there is order and he follows the rules, surviving shouldn't be a big problem.

Therefore, he has made a decision: the next world will be Douluo Continent.

"I just don't know if I'll be able to awaken my martial soul?!"

In Lu Ming's view, the Martial Soul system itself is not weak; it is only Douluo Continent that is weak.

The essence of a martial spirit is the combination of spiritual power and life force. It is the embodiment of the soul and bloodline. It can grow together with its master. The stronger the master is, the stronger the martial spirit will be, and it will never become outdated.

However, before that, he needs to revisit the Douluo Continent storyline and take a good rest and indulge himself for a while.

The next day, as soon as Lu Ming opened his eyes, he was met with a pair of extremely resentful eyes. He chuckled and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"What's wrong, baby?!"

"You still dare to say that?!"

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Xu Jingyan twisted Lu Ming's arm hard and said irritably, "You were like an animal last night, for two hours! A full two hours! I felt like I was going to fall apart."

"Isn't this good?!"

"It's not that it's bad, it's just... it's just... you've changed so much in the five days I haven't seen you!"

Hearing Lu Ming's question, Xu Jingyan's pretty face turned bright red. She stammered and reached out to push Lu Ming away, but with her weak strength, how could she possibly move him?

Lu Ming rolled over and pinned Xu Jingyan beneath him, then lowered his head and kissed her.

"Stop messing around, I have to go to work soon!"

A few minutes later, Xu Jingyan pushed Lu Ming away hard, her face full of shame and indignation. She glared at Lu Ming, then got up and went to the wardrobe next to her to take off her pajamas and start changing clothes, showing off her curvaceous figure to the fullest.

"I'm going to work now, bye!"

After changing into a presentable outfit, Xu Jingyan gently kissed Lu Ming and then went to work.

Lu Ming, sporting a messy hairstyle, wore a floral T-shirt and floral shorts, lounging on the sofa scrolling through his phone. He hadn't touched his phone much in five years, but using it again now still felt so familiar. He was watching short videos, playing games, and ordering some junk food delivery.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!..."

The doorbell rang. Lu Ming put down his fried chicken and cola and looked at the door with some confusion. He didn't have many friends in this world. Apart from a few girls he was ambiguous with, he hardly interacted with anyone.

He got up and opened the door. Standing there was a stunningly beautiful woman in a black turtleneck suit, with two burly bodyguards behind her, looking at Lu Ming with wary expressions.

"Hey beautiful, something's up!"

Lu Ming leaned against the door frame, looked the beautiful woman up and down, and then asked curiously.

"Hello, my name is Lu Shuang, president of the Lu Group. I should be your older sister!"

The beautiful woman frowned almost imperceptibly when she saw Lu Ming's attire, but she still reached out her hand and said softly.

"Sister?!...Beautiful lady, are you kidding me?! I'm an orphan, I don't have a sister!"

Lu Ming denied it repeatedly. Although he said that, his heart skipped a beat. Could his identity in this world also be that of a lost young master of a certain family?

He also knew about the Lu Group, one of the top conglomerates in Shanghai, whose main business was new energy vehicles, equivalent to Tesla in the modern world.

Does it have to be this melodramatic?!

This world is already crazy enough, I hope you don't drag me into it too.

Thinking back to his school days, there were a dozen or so Liu Ruyans, each with a terrible personality and bizarre behavior, which made Lu Ming's scalp tingle. He really didn't want to get involved in the short drama's plot!

Just as he had guessed, the woman in front of him had indeed come to acknowledge him as a relative.

"What about before you went to the orphanage?! Although the matter from back then hasn't been fully investigated, I can confirm that you are indeed a member of the Lu family."

As she spoke, she took a document from the bodyguard beside her and handed it to Lu Ming.

"So what?! What do you want me to do?!"

Lu Ming took the document but didn't look at it. He could guess what it contained without even thinking—nothing more than a paternity test. He looked at Lu Shuang indifferently, waiting for her to continue.

"Of course you should go back to the Lu family. You've suffered for over twenty years outside, it's time for you to return to the Lu family and be the young master again!" Lu Shuang said matter-of-factly.

"Are you sure I'm going to suffer out there?!"

Lu Ming pointed to the ground and laughed, "This is Hucui Tianfu, the best-located and most upscale residential area in Shanghai. I bought it in full, a large apartment of nearly 300 square meters."

"So what? I know you're a famous online writer and not short of money, but compared to the Lu family's assets, it's just a drop in the ocean! ... Back at the Lu family, let alone a large apartment, buying the entire building wouldn't be a problem..."

"Miss Lu, the Lu Group is very wealthy, but what does that have to do with me?! I have no plans to go back to the Lu family, and I'm perfectly fine as I am now."

Seeing that Lu Shuang wanted to say something more, Lu Ming quickly interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

"Hearing such big news so suddenly, I wouldn't be able to accept it either. I'll give you time to think it over. You can call me when you've made up your mind!"

Lu Shuang wasn't annoyed. She took out a pure gold business card from her bag, and without giving Lu Ming a chance to refuse, she turned around and entered the elevator with two bodyguards to go downstairs.

Lu Ming waved his hand dismissively, casually tossed the business card onto the coffee table, and continued to curl up on the sofa, eating fried chicken and drinking cola while watching Douluo Continent and recording its plot.

Opportunities in Douluo Continent are few and far between. Apart from martial souls, there are only the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Killing God Domain of the Slaughter City. As for whether or not to inherit a godhood, he would not refuse if the opportunity arose.

After all, becoming a god would grant one instant ascension to immortality. Furthermore, one could use godhood as a stepping stone to reach even higher levels of cultivation.
