The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 77 Writing a Letter
Yue Wenxuan’s Douyin account has officially started a new series.

Due to the unique nature of football matches, this time the videos weren't cut into short one- or two-minute episodes, but rather extended to 15-minute segments. Sharing a single match across multiple segments, such a long video on a platform like Tik Tok is inherently risky. It's unclear whether viewers will be able to sit through it.

But, you have to try.

The video begins with him placing the figurine on the football field...

The camera then zoomed in on the football field, and the plastic figures immediately came to life. A line of text popped up next to them: "The match flow in this video is generated by a large AI model based on the players' individual abilities. Even the creator of the video cannot influence the course of the game or predict the outcome. The creator is only responsible for the action effects. Messi fans, please don't criticize the creator of the video for bias when you see Ronaldo score. Ronaldo fans, please stay calm when you see Messi score."

This disclaimer is very necessary. Without it, the majority of fans would definitely think that Yue Wenxuan deliberately made the video of one side losing, which would trigger a huge war of words.

A few minutes after the video was uploaded...

An old fan named Wu Jianxia showed up and said, "Hey? No more ancient videos? Now it's football? And it's a dream match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. It's interesting."

Thirty-Second Grandfather: "This disclaimer is interesting. Fortunately, I'm not a fan of either side, so I can calmly sit back and watch the fight."

New fan Little Sheep Man: "This is the classic dream match from the 12-13 season. I've watched this match so many times. If it were made into a plastic man kicking it, it wouldn't be new."

Wu Jianxia: "Look carefully at the text. The UP host said that even he couldn't predict the outcome of this match. In other words, it's not based on that classic match. It must be a new match."

The kindness of the new fan guardian: "The video is so long..."

Because the video was too long, a group of viewers didn't even wait to finish watching it. They just watched the opening and started posting comments frantically.

Some real old fans, who are very familiar with that dream match, can conclude after watching only the first two minutes that this game is not a replica of the dream match.

“The kickoff is different!”

“It really is a whole new game.”

"Wow, this dribbling move is amazing, such a smooth technical move. This is the most professional football animation video I have ever seen."

"Wow, Ronaldo's cow tail movement is exactly like a real person's movement, so smooth."

"This UP master's action production level is better than those of the artists of those big studios."

"Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA should hire TikTok creators to create the opening animations instead of overwhelming the artists."

As the video continued to play, countless wonderful moments appeared in the 15-minute video, including various dribbling, tackles, long passes, headers, shots... The plastic people demonstrated extremely superb football skills, and the animation effects in the video were so delicate that they were indistinguishable from the real thing.

The audience felt inexplicably impressed by Yue Wenxuan's ability in "producing 3D animation".

At the end of the 15-minute video, Messi broke through the middle, passed three people along the way, and finally shot the ball into the goal...

Subtitle pops up: Follow-up update will be at 0: tomorrow morning.

"Fuck me!"

Yue Wenxuan was scolded, and the audience was furious. Such fragmented content was infuriating, especially Cristiano Ronaldo fans, who wanted to kill the UP host to vent their anger. Of course, Messi fans were delighted and spoke up for Yue Wenxuan: "Let's just end the match here! The referee should blow the whistle and end the match." And the moment this video was uploaded, someone was even more nervous and excited than Yue Wenxuan: the owner of "Autumn Divine Light Sculpture Co., Ltd."

From the first second he saw the video, he was nervously looking at his company's background data.

"Ha! First order is in. Sold a Messi figurine."

"The second order is for a Ronaldo figure."

"Oh my god, someone placed a full order for all the players from both teams. It's a huge order."

"Come again, come again..."

The boss slammed his hands on the table in ecstasy, picked up the internal company phone on the table and shouted, "Quick, notify everyone to prepare to work overtime."
-
While Yue Wenxuan was earning his own money and the rebel soldiers had added a new "military entertainment" project, Wu Jialiang in Jimo County was urging Cui Weihua to write a letter to the Laizhou County Magistrate.

Only the county lieutenant of Laiyang has the authority to deal with the Laiyang bandits. Wu Jialiang, the county lieutenant of Jimo, cannot do anything about it.

But he just wants to intervene!
He was not the kind of corrupt official who was just sitting in office doing nothing, but an official who was trying hard to get things done and did not want the people in his jurisdiction to be threatened by bandits.

He had no way to speak directly to the Laiyang County Magistrate, so he could only find Cui Weihua first and use the county magistrate to contact the county magistrate.

Cui Weihua wrote, "Recently, bandits have been gathering in the border area between the two counties, endangering the safety of the people in both counties. As the magistrate of Jimo County, it is my duty to protect the land and the people. However, due to my duties, I dare not enter Laiyang County to suppress the bandits. I hope that you will issue an order to the Laiyang County Lieutenant to work together with the Jimo County Magistrate to suppress the banditry, so as to stabilize the area and ensure the safety of the people."

After finishing writing, Cui Weihua picked up the letter and let it air dry. "Wu County Magistrate, is this okay?"

Wu Jialiang casually praised: "The county magistrate is good at calligraphy."

Cui Weihua was overjoyed and handed it to his confidant beside him: "Send this letter to the Laiyang County Magistrate immediately."

After sending the letter, Wu Jialiang began to think about how to fight this battle. He already had a hundred archers who had been training for a month. These archers had fought and won battles with Master Ye and Bruce Lee for a month, and their morale was very high. The other hundred newly recruited archers were useless and could only be used as cheerleaders...

With such a force, there is basically no hope of winning against more than 500 bandits, so we have to make full use of the strength of Laiyang County. If the Laiyang County Lieutenant can bring 200 archers, together with his own people, there will be 400 of them, and Wu Jialiang will be confident of winning this battle.

He was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind when he walked onto the training ground. Two hundred archers under his command were posing and practicing boxing!
Master Ye was standing at the front, teaching boxing.

Master Ye and Bruce Lee were both in a daze the whole time and had to be given very detailed orders before they would take any action.

But surprisingly, Master Ye was very enthusiastic about "teaching others how to box". By chance, Wu Jialiang said, "It would be great if you could teach your boxing skills to the archers."

After hearing this, Master Ye said on the spot: "I can't take the money, I must teach you boxing."

Then he started teaching the archers boxing...

This group of archers have been practicing Wing Chun for more than ten days. This boxing style is not very useful in fighting, but it is very effective in strengthening the body and improving the self-confidence of the archers. Those good family boys who seemed like cowards have become much more eager to fight after practicing boxing.
