Early the next morning, the assistant naturally woke Zhao Xiaodao up.
While having breakfast, Zhao Xiaodao subtly probed with a few questions, discovering that the other person only rembered accompanying her to retrieve the phone and then returning to the hotel to sleep afterward.
"What a terrifying hypnosis technique!" Zhao Xiaodao was shocked, "And martial arts, do they really exist? It's unbelievable!"
Zhao Xiaodao roughly understood why they didn't use hypnosis on her.
On the surface, martial arts is a fictional concept that has long been ingrained in people's minds. Even though everyone has a martial arts dream, they also know it's not realistic.
Eastern martial arts inner strength is, like Western magic and witchcraft, purely fictional.
However, those two people yesterday actually knew martial arts!
Zhao Xiaodao asked herself honestly, having been in society for so many years, she's not inexperienced, but she had never heard a peep about it until now.
This indicates that such matters are really only passed around in a very small circle.
So, the question arises.
As the saying goes, wealth unused is like wearing a beautiful garnt in the dark. Most people with skills want to show them off to gain praise and recognition.
Yet those two people last night chose to indulge in their abilities only in the deserted film city, rather than performing them publicly despite their significant influence.
Zhao Xiaodao didn't know what issues there might be and whether there were others like them or what might happen if they were exposed.
But Zhao Xiaodao knew she inadvertently discovered the secret they were determined to hide. They didn't hypnotize her to erase her mory because her identity had turned her into their audience in an unconventional way.
With her status as a celebrity widely known and adored, she could be their audience safely while satisfying their desire to display and show off.
But the assistant was different. She might sell their secret at any ti for potential benefits to elevate her status or wealth.
While Zhao Xiaodao wouldn't do that, she already possessed enough wealth and status to avoid risking unknown consequences by antagonizing such people beyond ordinary understanding.
Therefore, they unabashedly displayed their true selves in front of her, rely reminding her to keep it a secret and to interact as ordinary friends in the future.
Of course, Zhao Xiaodao agreed!
She took out her phone and found a chat group called [Martial Arts Alliance].
Zhao Xiaodao: @Lin Wan @Lu Zheng, My assistant really rembers nothing. It's amazing!!!
Lu Zheng: No big deal, this is the power of the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Scripture; it's the best hypnotic technique, ensuring you forget all your troubles in one sleep, not even rembering your parents. Want to try, @Zhao Xiaodao?
Zhao Xiaodao: No, no! I'm scared (pitiful.jpg)
Lin Wan: (helpless.jpg)
Lu Zheng: Do well with filming. If I find the drama interesting, I'll give you a Skin Nourishing Pill to return you to eighteen.
Zhao Xiaodao: (shocked.jpg)
Lin Wan: (sneaky smile.jpg) We'll co play with you next ti.
Zhao Xiaodao: Sure, sure.
Lu Zheng: Rember to call Liu the Celestial Immortal and Yang Mi.
Lin Wan: ...
Zhao Xiaodao: ...
...
Soon after, Zhao Xiaodao posted a selfie in a period costu in the group and said she was off to filming, then left.
On the other side, Lin Wan put away her phone, both amused and exasperated, looking at Lu Zheng, "What are you thinking?"
"Finding an audience for us."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Next ti when we're out doing justice or playing with big cats, you'll have soone to share it with, right?"
"Aren't you afraid of it going wrong?"
Lu Zheng shrugged, "No videos, no pictures, what's there to fear? Besides, if it goes wrong, it goes wrong. Just let it be, it's not like we can hide forever."
"Is it ti?" Lin Wan's eyes sparkled.
Lu Zheng waved a hand, "Of course not, no rush. But getting an audience first is okay, don't have it bottled up."
"I'm not bottling it up."
"Yeah, right. You've talked about that Japanese school incident eight tis to ."
Lin Wan: (▼へ▼メ)
...
Regarding being exposed to Zhao Xiaodao, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan didn't think it was a big deal.
After all, Lu Zheng's mastery of Chuan Wu and Qi Sensitivity had been registered with the municipal bureau, and his skills were widely known.
They just habitually kept a low profile, but these skills, not exceeding scientific boundaries, as long as they're not exposed in front of a large audience, weren't really problematic.
Lin Wan blinked, "Sword Qi overwhelming, is it really not a big deal?"
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "It's just true Qi externalization; an ordinary martial artist's thod, it's quite weak and nothing extraordinary, right?"
Lin Wan, "..."
...
Zhao Xiaodao didn't know that not far from where she was filming, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were walking hand in hand, strolling through Republic City.
"Oh, there's another film crew coming, are there any stars?" Lu Zheng laughed.
"Stop it, one Zhao Xiaodao is enough, don't add more."
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "Really? What about Li Xiaoyao?"
Lin Wan nodded, "That one's allowed."
Lu Zheng: →_→
Lin Wan: =^_^=
"I want Tang Ren added!"
...
Turns out, not many film crews actually have big stars, eting Zhao Xiaodao yesterday was an exception. Today's crew with all internet celebrity faces is more the norm.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan approached invisibly but soon got fed up and hurried away to a little seaside restaurant where they had a sumptuous seafood feast to recover.
After lunch, they drove back and quickly got on the highway.
Lu Zheng drove while Lin Wan sat in the passenger seat, sotis browsing her phone, other tis chatting with Lu Zheng.
"What's this Skin Nourishing Pill thing?"
Zhao Xiaodao posted to her monts, Lin Wan liked it, then turned back to the group, rembering the ssage Lu Zheng had sent in the morning.
"It's a type of Youthful Appearance Pill," Lu Zheng replied.
"Youthful Appearance Pill!!!"
Lin Wan suddenly turned, her eyes glowing, looking at Lu Zheng like they were about to spit fire.
"What's the big deal, it's for those ordinary people or people with insufficient talent, cultivating non-top-tier techniques,"
Lu Zheng said casually, "You're cultivating the Taiyuan Mysterious Scripture. With around, living a few hundred years is possible, with everlasting beauty, no need for such things."
Lin Wan's eyes imdiately shone bright.
She knew that ever since she started cultivating, her skin gradually beca smooth and fair, and her looks even more beautiful, but she didn't expect to live so long, let alone retain eternal beauty...
"Reward for you!"
Lin Wan took a slice of Hami lon from the food container and offered it to Lu Zheng's mouth.
Lu Zheng ate it in a few bites, then said, "I've recently researched several ancient pill recipes, among them the Youthful Appearance Pill, or perhaps naming it the Beauty Pill is better, the effect's decent, at least dozens, even a hundred tis better than costics."
"Dozens to hundreds of tis..."
Lin Wan was speechless, "Why are you still writing code, hurry up and open a skincare company, aim for high luxury, and snatch all the business from Lanco, Estee Lauder, and such!"
Lu Zheng, "..."
