Chapter 163: Chapter 162: Ma Ran’s Vacation; Xing the Content Creator

What do you mean by “progress is a bit slow”?

Ma Ran is really being polite!

Old Huang felt embarrassed after hearing this.

The truth is, after several hours, there was no progress in the interrogation!

President Huang Weiguo responded with a bitter smile: “The situation with the Demon Child is a bit different from the Sword Master.”

“The higher-ups mean that we need to observe for another two days.”

Demon Child Zhang Kuang has brainwashing abilities!

He can easily twist the thoughts of others…

This kind of character is terrifying!

If Zhang Kuang doesn’t care about extraterrestrial invading forces, harbors malice, and takes advantage of the chaos, he could even upend the Earth civilization situation!

It’s not exactly a conspiracy theory, but the key is everyone has only known the Demon Child for less than a day, and they don’t know him well yet.

Except for some bull-headed fools, who would dare to trust a stranger unreservedly?

It was only seeing Wu Di and the Demon Child getting along well, with the latter being quite relatable and not doing anything dangerous, that the bigwigs’ attitudes softened a bit.

Otherwise, how could it just be “observe for two days”?

Two years wouldn’t even be considered long!

Regarding the Demon Child, the Operations Department’s preliminary evaluation is: Zhang Kuang is inherently simple (?), deeply empathetic towards the people at the bottom, and most likely, during childhood, dreamt of living an idyllic life of ’spring planting one grain, autumn harvest a myriad’, but certain later experiences changed his nature a bit.

The current Demon Child and the young Zhang Kuang cannot be generalized!

There needs to be a distinction between inherent nature and mature worldview and style.

Maintaining a certain vigilance is the sensible approach.

Besides this, there’s another consideration—the Earthlings can’t always expect that whenever there’s an emergency, Cangming Star allies will happen to be there to help, right?

The Earth civilization, eyed by countless extraterrestrial civilizations, is simply the little pitiful one in the vast cosmos. How could it have such good luck?

Strike while the iron is hot and strong on its own.

Believers in “man can conquer nature” would be reluctant to place their future in the hands of intangible destiny.

Hearing Old Huang’s words, Ma Ran looked up and replied calmly, “Understood.”

This reaction was expected by him.

The Demon Child is the Demon Child, the Sword Master is the Sword Master.

If everyone immediately trusted the former, that would really be unreasonable.

But…

There is one thing Ma Ran is very certain of—time is the best catalyst.

Having undergone a soul castration surgery, the White Mane alien named AQ3399 will sooner or later completely collapse mentally, turning into a living dead, completely losing value.

Before that, the bigwigs above will make the right decision.

“During this time, for the sake of improving the Inner Qi System and completing the task of popularization, I’ve consumed a lot of Heart Power.”

Ma Ran looked at President Huang, showing some signs of fatigue in his tone: “So…”

“I want to request some leave, to go home and see my parents, and also rest for a few days.”

Upon hearing this, Old Huang responded without hesitation: “Of course, you can!”

“I’ll immediately deploy a team of elites to ensure your safety.”

“You can depart within half an hour.”

“Rest assured, those elites are solely responsible for your safety and won’t interfere with your daily activities.”

Leave application or anything…

There’s no need for something like that!

If the person taking leave is Ma Ran, just notifying is enough.

…

“I’m Li Xing, Mu Zili. My name was given by my dad.”

“The ’Xing’ character doesn’t mean ’happiness’ but rather ’luck’.”

“Hmm…”

“My dad’s most frequented forum is ’Quit Gambling Bar’. Those who know, know its context.”

“The good news is, he has quit playing flush within the past few years and now plays some mahjong and just Happy DouDiZhu, found a new job, and has paid off most of the family’s debts.”

“Back when my old man named me ’Li Xing’, he hoped his son could bring good fortune to the home, make him triumphant at the card table, and help mom draw the characters she wanted in mobile gacha games quickly.”

“Unfortunately…”

“Things didn’t go as planned.”

“Luck and I are completely incompatible.”

“You could say I’ve been unlucky since I was a child.”

“Buying instant noodles without a seasoning packet, always drawing ’thank you for participating’ in raffles, getting hit by a flowerpot while passing by apartments…”

“These are just child’s play.”

“Being hit by a drunkard, newbie driver, or someone experiencing road rage while waiting at the zebra crossing is a common occurrence.”

“Some might think I’m exaggerating.”

“But those who know me would think I’m being too modest after watching this video.”

“Look… at these…”

Saying this, the young man zoomed out the phone camera a bit, focusing on the papers scattered on the table: “These are all the hospital’s certificates and the drivers’ medical fees and mental compensations.”

“Ah…”

“Even though I’m a law-abiding young man, I end up living a daily life of professional scam hits.”

“Being such an unlucky guy, managing to live up to now is a kind of skill, isn’t it?”

Li Xing shook his head and refocused the camera on himself.

He cracked a wide, sunny smile: “Since I was young, I’ve been fond of photography, used to using all kinds of recording equipment to capture the beautiful moments in life.”

“Because…”

“For someone as unlucky as me, you never know when you’ll just… be gone.”

“Sharing those beautiful things to bring a little joy to others is an important source of achievement and satisfaction for me.”

“So, this is also the reason I became an uploader.”

Li Xing furrowed his brows, his mind going blank, a bit fragmented.

He is a cross-disciplinary video creator with no fixed submission category.

From games, food, anime, novels, to daily chats, he delves into various types.

But without professional guidance, he’s unaware of the importance of scripts.

Every video wastes lots of time on repeated editing before uploading it online.

As for the truthfulness of the above statement…

It’s completely true.

“I wasn’t trying to garner pity just now.”

“Even though my dad wishes he could live with mahjong daily, and mom is obsessed with gacha mobile games to the point her salary gets squeezed by the greedy developers about eighty to ninety percent, but…”

“They all care about me in their own way.”

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock…

The ticking of the old-fashioned wall clock brought Li Xing back to reality.

He looked back at the phone camera, laughed, and said: “In summary, what I really mean to emphasize is just one point…”

“Like before watching, and your family will be worth billions!”

“Donating a coin after watching brings long life!”

“Anyway, back to the main point.”

“Today, I want to share with everyone the theme of ’Extraordinary’.”

“To make this video, I’ve enlisted the help of many friends to gather a total of 500G of video material.”

“Due to limited space, this first episode will only conduct a brief analysis of the three extraordinary paths: Black Rock Martial Arts, Seven Vortex Swordsmanship, and Superpowers, and provide a simplified introduction to the most famous ’Extraordinary One’ in the domestic extraordinary circle.”
