Chapter 61 Character PV
The official PV for the character Doctor Truth has been released.
The comments section erupted in a chorus of cheers, welcoming the arrival of the truth:
"The earliest episode."
"Bengtie, a timer for young people."
"Having wandered for half my life, I only regret not having met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!"
"We've come to support our godfather!"
"Godfather, I wish I wouldn't fail my exams!"
"The itinerant professor of the Erudite Society!"
......
PV begins:
black screen.
A crisp sound of pages turning.
The pages turned, followed by Ladio's signature voice—deep, sharp, and with a natural air of superiority.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "There are two kinds of people in the world—geniuses, and everyone else."
The screen suddenly lit up.
An old and solemn library.
The bookshelves soared to the ceiling, each shelf crammed with yellowed classics.
The camera slowly zooms in, passing through the gaps in the bookshelves, and focuses on a boy sitting in a corner.
He was about fourteen years old, with blue hair and a much calmer look than his peers.
He held a thick book in his hands, its spine printed with complex mathematical symbols.
The scene cuts to a fast-paced montage:
Young Ladio was doing calculations at his desk late at night, with piles of draft paper beside him.
Outside the window were neon lights and starry skies, but he never looked up once.
Immediately afterwards—
The scene changes.
The same boy is now standing in a university classroom.
The equations on the blackboard were so advanced they were suffocating.
A group of college students, ten years his senior, sat in the audience, their eyes vacant and blank.
He held a piece of chalk, his face expressionless.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "When I was fifteen, I proved the Jung Conjecture—a proof that my mentor couldn't complete even after half a lifetime of work."
The image freezes.
The boy put down the chalk and looked out the window.
The Milky Way seemed to flow in his eyes.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "They say I'm a genius."
The visual style changed abruptly.
It transitions from a classical, scholarly atmosphere to a cold, technological feel.
A letter bearing the emblem of the Society for the Study of the Arts was slammed heavily onto the table.
Young but already past his youthful days, Ladio stands by the window, his back to the camera.
Outside the window lies a vast interstellar city, where symbols of the wise and erudite Star God occasionally flash across the sky.
His hands tightened slightly.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "They say the Genius Club is where geniuses belong."
The scene cuts to a rotating shot of a starry sky—an invitation shimmering with mysterious light that never arrived.
Instead, they received an invitation from the Society for Broad Knowledge.
The camera zooms in, and Ladio turns around.
A smile played on his lips—not of joy, but an expression that was a mixture of self-deprecation and sharp sarcasm.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "And what I received was... the Society of Knowledge."
silence.
He picked up the badge, examined it for a moment, and then pinned it to his collar.
Dr. Truth (in a low voice): "That's it then. From now on, I'm just an 'ordinary person'."
The music suddenly started.
The tempo quickens, and the deep cello and electronic synthesizer sounds intertwine.
The scene presented a series of rapid flashbacks:
—At the First Truth University graduation ceremony, Ladio received the first-class honors degree certificate, which was missing two Amber periods.
He lectured in different classrooms, covering subjects such as biology, medicine, natural theology, philosophy, mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. The blackboards were filled with formulas from various disciplines.
He loudly reprimanded countless students, yet he personally corrected every single one of their assignments.
—He offered fifty-two courses and never stopped.
The camera lingers on the final scene: Ladio sitting alone in his office.
He slowly took out a peculiar plaster head sculpture—pure white, with classical yet eerie lines, like a silent sculpture.
He put on a hood, covering his entire face.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "Sometimes, a hood... only by isolating the senses and blocking out feelings can one think without distractions."
The image is frozen on the plaster head sculpture.
No eyes, no expression, only cold, rational, and unquestionable "truth".
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "Besides, the true appearance of a mediocre person is mostly harmful and useless."
The music erupted.
The battle has officially begun.
The battle scenes in the PV employ a highly stylized visual language—lines and formulas constantly surge in from the edges of the screen, as if the entire space were Ladio's classroom.
Ladio stood in the imaginary space, surrounded by countless books and chalk.
He held a heavy book in his hand, and the plaster head sculpture looked particularly cold under the illumination of the imaginary light.
Enemy entry: A horde of chaotic imaginary monsters surges out of the rift, their forms twisting and shifting, as if they were the very embodiment of "dullness".
Dr. Truth: "Does it require... some strict discipline?"
He raised his hand.
A piece of chalk forms on the fingertip.
Dr. Truth: "Let me test you."
Combat animation:
Ladio threw the chalk.
The chalk traced a precise imaginary trajectory in the air, striking the enemy—a line of text flashed on the screen: "Use your brain!"
Upon hitting the target, a negative indicator appears in the enemy's status bar—an "X" and a glaring red "0".
Dr. Truth: "Zero points."
Pursuit attack animation:
Before the first enemy could even get a foothold, a second piece of chalk shot out like a bullet, following closely behind.
Dr. Truth: "Negative score."
Then, a third piece of chalk flew in from a completely different angle, as if it were an exam with no blind spots.
Dr. Truth: "This child is hopeless... I'll say it one last time."
Each pursuit was accompanied by complex mathematical formulas appearing on the screen. The enemy's health bar crumbled like rotten wood.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "Zero points! Negative points! Get out of here!"
Finishing move animation:
The image suddenly zoomed out.
A massive geometric array—an intricate imaginary matrix—emerged beneath Latio's feet.
Books flipped rapidly around him, formulas cascading down like a waterfall.
He raised his right hand.
The power of imaginary numbers condensed in his palm, transforming into a giant Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Doctor of Truth: "Knowledge is the measure of all things—"
The massive Leaning Tower of Pisa collapsed with a deafening roar, crashing heavily onto its target.
The screen then shook violently.
Doctor of Truth: "—I will surely exhaust the truth and eradicate falsehood!"
Imaginary energy spreads outward like a tide, engulfing the enemy.
The white light of the explosion engulfed the screen.
The light dissipated.
The scene changes to a simple bathroom.
Steam rose in the air.
Ladio leaned back in the bathtub as the plaster head sculpture was finally removed and placed on a low stool beside him.
A book was draped over the edge of the bathtub, cover facing down.
On the water's surface, a small yellow rubber duck gently sways with the ripples.
This is the first time his face has been shown in the entire PV—blue hair, deep features, the sharpness in his eyes is still there, but now there is a hint of fatigue.
He stared blankly at the steam rising from the ceiling.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "I can't live without books and bathtubs—the former heals the spirit, the latter heals the body."
The camera slowly zoomed in on his profile.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "When you're out and about, you're bound to encounter some utterly absurd statements... and people you can't communicate with."
He closed his eyes.
Dr. Zhenli (voiceover): "But if I have these two with me at night, I won't end up with headaches and insomnia."
The image fades out.
A new scene unfolds: Ladio stands alone, facing the vast galaxy from the porthole of a starship.
He held a piece of chalk in his hand—not writing formulas, but unconsciously twirling it.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "I was born on a planet with a very strong academic atmosphere."
"When I was in high school, my math and physics scores were already far above university level."
"I once solved complex mathematical equations so quickly that the university students sitting below couldn't understand them at all."
The scene shifts to a flashback: young Ladio huddled in a corner of the library, flipping through a book that was still too difficult for him.
His eyes—not with joy, but with a kind of almost stubborn hunger.
Dr. Truth (voiceover): "I learned one thing from those books."
The scene shifts back to the present.
He stood in front of the starship's observation window, nebulae swirling outside the glass.
Dr. Truth: "Genius is nothing more than a matter of chance."
He raised his hand and put the plaster head sculpture back on.
Doctor Truth: "And wisdom—belongs to every ordinary person who is willing to think."
The final climax.
A series of images flashed by at lightning speed:
Ladio stood on the podium of the Academy of Learning, with countless students below. He held a book in one hand and pointed to the void with the other. His plaster head was expressionless, but the gesture itself was a declaration.
—He worked late into the night in the lab, surrounded by formulas and experimental equipment.
—He throws chalk in battle, forever chasing after those "stubborn diseases called dullness".
He closed his eyes to rest in the bathtub, while the rubber duck floated silently beside him.
The camera finally focuses on a close-up of Ladio's face—the plaster head sculpture.
The pure white statue, cold and silent, seemed to be gazing at every viewer.
Doctor Truth (voiceover): "I am Veritas Ladio, a scholar and teacher of the Academy of Knowledge, and also just an ordinary man."
The camera slowly zooms out.
He stood alone in the boundless starry sky, surrounded by countless open books, each page filled with formulas and notes.
Dr. Truth: "If you experience symptoms called 'dullness' in any situation—"
He turned slightly to face the camera.
Dr. Truth: "Please come see me anytime."
Dr. Truth: "At that time, please call me—'Dr. Truth'."
The screen turned pure white.
Subtitles appear:
[Dr. Truth: Veritas Ladio]
[Cure a stubborn ailment called dullness]
The screen went completely black.
But the sound continued—
A crisp "beep" sounded.
A "+" symbol appears on the screen, as if a rating software is popping up a bonus prompt.
Dr. Truth (voiceover) (slightly softer tone, but still with innate arrogance): "--Not bad, add five points."
PV ended.
Bullet comments:
"Help! Why is there a bathing scene in the PV?!"
"My godfather looks so sexy taking a shower! Those huge pecs!! I love it!"
"I will create the character with the highest ownership rate all by myself!"
"A terrifying 100% ownership rate?!"
"Write with wisdom, read with a hunting spirit!"
