Gu Mo rewatched his own edit, suppressing the odd sense of dissonance in his heart.
There was no way around it. After all, even professional actors likely feel this way the first ti they see their performances transford into results on the screen. Especially since he wasn't a professional, seeing his own "performance" or rather "display" made it even less likely for him to be an exception.
Glancing at the share icon in the bottom right corner, Gu Mo hesitated slightly, but he was intrigued. He didn't deny that he had so thoughts about it, but he also thought the seemingly idiotic system probably didn't put things there without a reason, so he did pay so attention to this feature.
Perhaps the idiotic system had so deeper aning. One had to try to know. What if sharing daily could earn experience, or accumulate so lottery chances, or even grant a precious achievent... if he ignored it without trying, wouldn't that be a massive loss?
He was particularly keen on the last achievent. Looking at the achievent badges obtained so far, they didn't seem like the re fillers in most gas with no real significance.
Rather, they were quite commorative and also provided extrely powerful attribute bonuses. For example, the beginner's achievent badge allowed him to increase any experience gained by 25% before hitting level 10, effectively speeding up the leveling process by a quarter.
Moreover, the "First Blood" achievent badge doubled the experience obtained through combat. If it weren't for these two combined, Gu Mo thought he might only have leveled up two to three levels or at most four.
So indeed it couldn't be overlooked…
With this thought, he rewatched the entire footage, realistically reviewing the entire segnt and slightly modifying every detail. The content depicted scenes from Thirteen Sakura Village, from his arrival in the village to the entire process of ascending the hill shrine in the village...
It was only up to this point: the black-haired girl entered the shrine alone with her sword, went on a killing spree like cutting through vegetables, and then the curtain fell. The final shot was of her slaying the Ape Ghost, then standing there, holding the Tachi upside-down with a "calm as water" expression...
—In reality, this was due to the agitation of her demon bloodline at the ti, which was barely suppressed. It was also because there was no ti to aid Gu Mo, who was being attacked outside.
Even Gu Mo himself, reflecting on his gaplay footage, noticed details he hadn't caught before, roughly deducing what was happening. It seems that starting with the Ox-headed Ghost's shadow realm and then the shadow realm of the hill shrine, both tis Hidechika showed so unusual signs when entering the shadow realm.
Then, upon encountering the Horse-headed Ghost's shadow realm, she finally couldn't suppress her demonic nature and fully transford into a demon.
Combining the information he had, such as in the shadow world of the Mortal World, where the demon's power is enhanced, and demonic power becos active; and the fact that Hidechika only lost control once in Thirteen Sakura Village and never had such incidents afterward, even being able to freely wield the demonized powers for her own use...
Gu Mo could easily conjecture the specifics and roughly understand that this loss of control was akin to a coming-of-age ceremony for her. After that, the girl began to grow rapidly, advancing in strides, as naturally as breathing and blood flow.
From initially struggling to control her own bloodline power, with the risk of being eroded and losing control, the half-demon gradually transford over decades into the foremost Great Demon of the Warring States Era—
The two Great Demons from the Sealed Demon Spirit Hall broke free with difficulty, and Yoshitsune, who intended to cause chaos, was killed on the spot by Hidechika, with only Tamamo no Mae fleeing due to decisiveness... Even Ootakemaru, later transforming into the Calamity Dream Ghost in a last-ditch effort, was effortlessly beaten. It completely defined who was the true Demon King through her achievents.
With a soft breath, he completed the final check, confirming there should be no issues.
Of course, the real process took a whole half-night work, from the middle of the night until sunrise. The current segnt was edited and post-produced by him, forcibly cut to the length of an ani episode... Mainly because most shots featured Hidechika from start to finish.
It wasn't that he had no screen ti; most involved verbal exchanges.
For instance, under the night cherry blossoms, he pretended familiarly, acting as if he knew the village inside out, almost appearing to dominate the interaction with the girl...
The combat material about him was quite challenging to handle. After all, he was a pure newbie at the ti, with no level-ups, skills, experience, or awareness... only a love for learning and striving to seize opportunities to improve and grind experience.
This sounds quite inspirational, but to actually broadcast it visually would result in very monotonous and tedious footage.
Especially in contrast to Hidechika's dazzling presence, it was even more evident. Even he felt that watching himself racking his brains to outsmart and outfight a few Hungry Ghosts, needing to stop and catch his breath after a few, was not appealing. It was almost cringe-worthy.
