What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 84 The Storm Gradually Subsides
"I've already told you not to pry into the affairs of martial arts masters."

Xia Qing waved her hand.

However, Chen Nuonuo's words did give him a slight reminder.

Others might not recognize the heavy armor and the halberd, but Chen Nuonuo would definitely recognize it at a glance, since it was something she had personally created.

Not only can they identify them, but they must also be well aware of the materials and strength of these items.

Seeing the horrific scenes depicted, one would certainly not believe in any movie special effects or AI synthesis.

If any video footage leaks out afterward, I should remind Ling Shuang to get her a confidentiality agreement as well.

"Fine, I won't listen."

Chen Nuonuo was a little annoyed, but because of Xia Qing's previous performance, she could play around with wearing heavy armor weighing several hundred pounds, so she didn't seem to find it particularly difficult to accept at this moment.

Maybe it's just like this guy said, there really are martial arts masters and grandmasters in the real world?
"In short, please fix it for me as soon as possible, and tell me the cost later."

Xia Qing continued explaining.

The previous debts of the Money Dart Technique were due to the loss of weapons and armor. Apart from the expenses incurred by the Money Dart Technique when going out to gather intelligence, the rest has basically been offset.

However, repairing weapons and armor naturally requires money.

After instructing Chen Nuonuo to fix these things as soon as possible, Xia Qing returned home and fell into a deep sleep.

He may be asleep, but he has kept many people awake all night.

……

Shocking! Lu Bu and Yue Fei battled in the modern era? Not a movie! Real footage!

Holy crap! Lu Bu is fighting Yue Fei on a motorcycle! Did I get mushroom poisoning?

"Spiritual Qi Revival? Ancient People Time Traveling? Lu Bu Battles Yue Fei at the University Gate—Not AI! Not AI! Not AI!"

Many of the videos were casually taken and released while Xia Qing and Yue Wumu were still fighting.

But nowadays, everyone has a high-resolution smartphone, unlike the low-quality images of ancient times. Combined with real-life battle scenes, the results are incredibly exciting and visually stunning.

To say that it's true is an overstatement; the vast majority of people who have seen these videos obviously don't believe it.

Whether it's special effects or AI, anyone can create something similar, and ordinary passersby won't bother to investigate its authenticity or difficulty.

Even though the footage of these intense battle scenes was only leaked in shaky clips, its high quality, coupled with the debates and arguments from many people who were actually present, still brought considerable popularity to these videos.

"Lu Bu riding a motorcycle? 666, is this a time-travel drama?"

"They're showing real footage right here; even the film crews on the roadside are in the shot."

"Ah, right, right, it's real footage. If a normal person collided like that, they would be strung together like two candied hawthorns."

"Putting aside whether it's real or fake, I have to say that Lu Bu's outfit is really cool. That heavy armor, that domineering halberd and halberd techniques, ordinary AI probably can't create it. It must be some big-budget movie production, right?"

"The production team has already issued a statement and released stills. Lu Bu is absolutely stunning."

"The costumes and battle scenes are amazing! This is definitely a big production. The art direction and action design are top-notch. I must see it when it comes out."

Many related videos have sparked heated debates, mainly revolving around the arguments between netizens and onlookers at the scene, as well as the realistic and cool visual scenes.

After all, it's real footage; it would be strange if it weren't authentic.

But its flaw lies in its excessive realism; compared to the inhuman power of Xia Qing and Yue Wumu, it appears artificial.

In addition, with the proliferation of AI these days, anything not seen with one's own eyes is basically just considered movie special effects.

Furthermore, it's unclear whether this was a shady operation by the relevant authorities, but these videos featured numerous 'film crews' carrying cameras. Film crews quickly came forward to claim responsibility, and the comments sections of the videos were filled with debates, accusations of impersonation, and attempts to steer the conversation off-topic.

And frankly speaking, these are actually just a fairly realistic battle 'movie' scene.

Neither Lü Bu nor Yue Fei's image would likely evoke fear, nor would they necessarily attract much interest.

After all, if the battle scene hadn't been so incredibly intense and realistic, the battle between Lu Bu and Yue Fei would have sounded like a melodramatic and tragic story.

Although this matter generated considerable buzz on a small scale and sparked interest in the 'movie' among many people, in reality, it was probably less significant than the scandals involving a few young male celebrities.

Those who believe it to be true are almost nonexistent, except for those who know the facts.

of course there are exceptions.

"You still say you're not Lü Bu!"

In an old residential area, Chen Nuonuo, who was lying in bed scrolling through her phone, suddenly sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the phone screen.

That imposing halberd, that dashing heavy armor, and those pheasant feathers he meticulously handcrafted!
If others can't recognize me, how could I not recognize myself?
Others may not know the strength of these materials, but surely I do.

This guy, carrying his own handmade halberd and wearing heavy armor, went to fight Marshal Yue!

This has gone viral online!
And you still say you're not Lü Bu!
"But...this guy looks so cool when he fights!!!"

Before any complex emotions could even arise, they were instantly suppressed, and soon only the excitement shining in Chen Nuonuo's eyes remained on her face.

I wanted to see this guy in heavy armor wielding a halberd before but I never got to see him. Now my wish has finally come true.

And this was the first time she had ever seen them actually fight.

That domineering and murderous halberd, that explosive martial arts combat.

And there were repeated charges on motorcycles.

This was much cooler than she had originally imagined.

She has always loved darts, cards, and all kinds of cold weapons, with the halberd being her absolute favorite; otherwise, she wouldn't have made one specifically to play with.

Even the armor was made by her.

It can be said that Xia Qing's outfit perfectly matched her tastes and aesthetics.

Nothing could excite her more than seeing someone actually wear this outfit and fight alongside famous ancient generals with great prestige.

The thought that all of those things were done by my own hands adds to my sense of pride.

"Ahhh, so handsome! No way, I have to get this guy tomorrow..."

She excitedly hugged the blanket and rolled around on the bed, planning to try and win him over with her own eyes tomorrow.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Could it be that guy is back?"

This is her grandparents' old house, but they are getting old and were recently taken to a villa by her father to be looked after. This place has become her secret base, and usually no one visits.

Therefore, her first reaction was that Xia Qing had come over again, and she was quite happy.

But I still subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

"Open the door and check the water meter."
