I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

At 8:30 a.m., the five people dispersed at the entrance of the commercial street and went their separate ways.

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei had a clear goal and headed straight for the general store in the mall.

As everyone knows, Cheng Che's cosplay of Chu Zihang is very simple, so he only bought three things at most—

Gold contact lenses, a long black trench coat, and a cheap katana that looks decent as long as it's not drawn.

He didn't even spend twenty minutes buying these things.

Tian Xiwei will be a little more troublesome.

She didn't have any clothes ready to wear, so she bought a pure white dress and a large piece of royal blue satin fabric, intending to DIY it herself later.

Before leaving, to make the scene even more authentic, she even bought a pair of brown sunglasses and a carnation.

After buying their things, the two didn't linger on the street and went straight back to their hotel.

Once inside the room, Tian Xiwei spread the satin cloth on the tatami mat, sat cross-legged, and began to study how to incorporate it into Xia Mi's outfit.

To ensure the accuracy of the original, she even consulted a costume designer she knew.

Cheng Che squatted down beside her, wanting to help, but he was quickly disliked for his clumsiness and was made to stand aside.

All I could do was hand her the scissors and press down the satin fabric.

Before long, a series of clanging sounds came from outside the door.

Xia Ziyi's voice precedes her arrival—

"I, Xia, am back!!"

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei peeked into the courtyard and saw Xia Ziyi carrying several bags as she entered.

Xu Anan was behind her, carrying far fewer things, just a bulging paper bag.

"Ziyi, Nannan," Tian Xiwei called out to them, "What did you both buy?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xia Ziyi immediately walked forward with her belongings, put the bag on the ground, and began to count her spoils.

"Look! A sparkler! A wig! And this, a super cute pleated skirt!"

The fairy wand is pink, the wig is gold, and the pleated skirt is blue.

"Are you preparing to cosplay as Sailor Moon?" Cheng Che scratched his head and asked.

"That's right!" Xia Ziyi nodded.

She felt that this image was a perfect match for her, Xia.

The only slight pity is that the production team does not allow the purchase of complete cosplay outfits, and she cannot afford them at the moment, so she can only try to recreate them as accurately as possible.

"Um..." Xia Ziyi thought to herself, then looked at the camera and said timidly, "If my cosplay isn't accurate enough later, please don't scold me!"

"If you want to criticize someone, go criticize the production team. They set the rules of the game!"

You don't really think that Xia is a fool, do you?

Actually, that's not the case; she's very clever!

As far as she knows, the cosplay community doesn't care about the cosplayer's looks, but it does care about the "accuracy" of the cosplay.

Anyway, it's impossible to completely recreate her situation, so to avoid being criticized, I'll just state this in advance.

She's an expert at avoiding being scolded!

[Sigh, the internet turns people into monsters. Look how Xia-jie has driven him to this point; he's even developed a brain and knows to make disclaimers!]

[So netizens are going to criticize my Xia Jie! If you want to criticize someone, go criticize the stingy production team. My Xia Jie can't do anything about it!]

[Just a passerby, why isn't that guy next to me making a disclaimer... Oh, you're the author? If you're the author, you should apologize to me for going out of character!]

[666, you're so domineering! You've really angered your Grandpa Zero. What if you write Chu Zihang out of the story? Wouldn't that be devastating?]

[To be honest, it's unlikely that Senior Brother would get into trouble, right? Master Ling wouldn't be so heartless... but it's hard to say?]

[Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! You're such a jinx! Retreat! Retreat!]

"That makes sense," Cheng Che was the first to agree. "Excuse my bluntness, but if you want to criticize someone, go criticize Lao Wang. We guests are all innocent!"

Tian Xiwei nodded in agreement, then looked at Xu Anan:

"Nannan, what did you buy?"

Xu Anan smiled and opened her bag, inside which was a shrine maiden outfit.

Her thinking was simple: there are plenty of characters in anime who wear shrine maiden outfits. If she just buys a shrine maiden outfit and makes some adjustments, she'll have a wide range of choices.

During their conversation, Henry Lau returned.

Our good brother Da Hua looked solemn at the moment, with what appeared to be a cross-shaped scar sticker on his left cheek and a slender katana at his waist.

He leaned forward slightly, one hand on the scabbard and the other on the hilt, as if he might draw his sword at any moment and unleash a strike powerful enough to cleave through time.

Clearly, despite suffering a double blow from Xia Ziyi, he still did not give up his idea of ​​cosplaying Kenshin Himura.

Henry Lau walked to the center of the courtyard, gripped the knife in his backhand, slowly scanned the area, and then with a "whoosh," drew out half of the blade.

"..."

No one spoke for a long time in the courtyard, for fear that speaking would hurt Liu Xianhua.

It's not that Henry Lau is ugly; in fact, he's definitely handsome.

The problem is, he and Kenshin Himura are completely different, and the two seem incompatible!

especially……

Liu Xianhua lowered his voice and said calmly, "Include the slanderous sword heart."

The moment the hasty accent was uttered, the crowd collapsed in disarray.

[Hahahaha, I'm truly impressed by Da Hua's accent!]

"Sir! This is too difficult, so I failed. It's simply impossible for me to hold on!"

[The once-sounding Kenshin Himura has suddenly become Kenshin the Village Guardian; the lonely swordsman has become a lonely village guardian...]

【Dahua, stop talking. Or you could just speak English; your standard English sounds more sophisticated!】

Why not cosplay as Little Dumb (or something similar)?

"Ouch, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to laugh myself to death..." Xia Ziyi said, clutching her waist in pain.

"Am I laughing too hard?" Henry Lau asked rhetorically.

That can't be right. He looked in the mirror at the mall and thought he was definitely handsome!

But seeing everyone's reactions... he couldn't help but doubt himself.

Am I... not handsome at all?

"Of course not." Cheng Che stepped forward at this moment. "You're very handsome, Da Hua. You have to believe in yourself."

Haven't you heard the saying, "Confidence shines through; a confident man is the most handsome!"

"!"

Henry Lau suddenly understood.

There were only two men present, him and Cheng Che, and only men understand men better.

The friendship between men is as strong as steel, so Cheng Che must be right.

"You know me, I've always been confident." He resumed his indifferent expression, his tone equally cold.

Cheng Tianxia and Xu all gave him a thumbs up.
