Chapter 1155

~14 min read 2,648 words

The advertising for the "Dragon Raja" animation had already been arranged, and if things went fast, it would be done by tomorrow or the day after.

During the livestream, Miss Luo Quan decided to share this news with her fans: "I'll tell you all a piece of good news. Bilibili recently acquired a famous domestic IP and has decided to adapt it into an animation.

However, allow me to keep you in suspense for now and not tell you what this IP is. Of course, you can also come and guess what it is. If you guess it right, then you're good."

"It wouldn't be 'Dragon Raja,' would it?"

A bullet comment drifted leisurely across the top of the screen.

She swore to heaven, Miss Luo Quan suspected this person was an insider from Bilibili coming to crash the party.

How could they guess it right in one go!

But those employees couldn't possibly have the guts to leak secrets, so was this person relying on intuition or was it a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse?

"Haha, how could it be 'Dragon Raja'? You guessed wrong right off the bat." Miss Luo Quan denied it with a laugh.

It was only because her acting skills were good; if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't know what to say.

The first answer was the correct answer; how could this game continue?

And the netizen who sent that bullet comment didn't know himself that he had actually guessed the correct answer, so he laughed and started suggesting other novels, such as "Battle Through the Heavens," "Soul Land," and the like.

Although this was the correct way to play the game, Miss Luo Quan still felt a bit bad in her heart and sighed: "Sigh, I originally wanted to keep you all in suspense, but I didn't expect someone to guess it right away."

"Huh? Who's so good?"

"Could it be 'Battle Through the Heavens'?"

"Wuhu, I love this novel so much."

"I suggest making Queen Medusa look a bit better."

"I'll fast-forward directly to the Fallen Heart Flame!"

"If you get rich, don't forget your friends, Unreal Huang, right?"

…………

The bullet comments thought Miss Luo Quan was talking about the book "Battle Through the Heavens." Miss Luo Quan shook her head and said: "What I was actually talking about is 'Dragon Raja.' There was a bullet comment just now that guessed it right off the bat."

"Haha, so my intuition is this accurate."

"No wonder Luo Bao's expression was off; I was wondering what happened."

"You guys are really too inconsiderate. Luo Bao happily acquired an IP and wanted everyone to guess, and you just blurted out the answer. How can we play happily now?"

"Indeed, Luo Bao's golden hair is clearly not as bright as it was just now."

"Pfft, is it that exaggerated?"

………………

The fans' teasing left Miss Luo Quan unable to laugh or cry: "That's not right. Did you guys focus on the wrong point? Isn't 'Dragon Raja' the thing most worth discussing for you right now?"

Hearing this, the bullet comments finally reacted:

"We almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

"'Dragon Raja' is indeed a famous IP, but it's not easy to adapt; it's not as satisfying as traditional web novels."

"It would be great if the little monster didn't die. Erii is just too beautiful and too pitiful."

"I wonder if the adaptation can change the endings of the tragic characters in it."

………………

Originally, Miss Luo Quan thought her idea was very childish and wouldn't get the approval of the original fans. She didn't expect that after she said it, there would be so many people who had the same thoughts as her.

"So you guys think so too?" Miss Luo Quan said very excitedly, "For this 'Dragon Raja' anime adaptation, I indeed intend to change the fate of these people who were destined to die—not just Erii, but also Xia Mi, Lao Tang, Gen Zhishang…………"

Once these words were out, the bullet comments exploded:

"No way, Luo Bao, are you for real?!"

"Is that how you're changing it? If you really do that, it'll be so worth looking forward to."

"Changing it beyond recognition like this, can it still be called 'Dragon Raja'?"

"So this is an anime adaptation, not a copy-paste. I fully support Luo Bao doing this!"

"Yes, I hope to give everyone a beautiful ending; that way my youth will be perfect."

………………

There were indeed voices of opposition, but it was obvious that there were far more people who wanted it changed this way, which was something Miss Luo Quan hadn't anticipated.

Originally, she thought this was just her own immature fantasy, but it had received support from so many people. For a moment, she was a bit moved: "To be honest, when I first came up with this idea, I was actually quite worried that everyone would scold me. After all, adaptation isn't random editing. Changing 'Dragon Raja' like this is equivalent to changing away most of the emotions."

"In fact, I was already prepared to be scolded."

Miss Luo Quan's genuine display of emotion also made the fans speak their minds:

"In the past, this kind of ending was called moving; nowadays, it can only be called 'literary youth disease'."

"Relying on killing off a character everyone likes to bring about emotion is a very lazy and extremely harmful behavior to readers."

"Everyone is under a lot of pressure now; we actually just want to watch something refreshing and happy. I don't want anything that has depth, is close to reality, or is bitter and deep."

"Indeed, if I wanted something close to reality, I'd just read a classic. Isn't watching web novels and anime just for stress relief?"

"So Luo Bao, you know what to do now, right?"

………………

This time, the bullet comments were unified. It seemed everyone was already deeply disgusted with the behavior of "literary youth disease."

Even if Miss Luo Quan didn't say it herself, they had taken the initiative to make the request.

"Since everyone's emotions are running so high," Miss Luo Quan took a deep breath and said excitedly, "I guarantee that this time, 'Dragon Raja' will definitely be produced with the greatest effort of Unreal Studio, striving to make it the domestic anime with the most explosive special effects!"

"Holy crap, Unreal Studio is handling it?"

"That would be too amazing. I remember the last animation, 'Azeroth,' won many awards in the West, right?"

"It's more than just winning awards; it's almost become the Jerusalem of the Western animation world."

"Haha, tell me more about Jerusalem."

"I have only one request: get the looks of the handsome guys and beautiful girls in 'Dragon Raja' right. Every character described by the old thief Jiang Nan has an incredibly exquisite appearance, so the modeling must not be too sloppy."

"Does this even need to be reminded? Unreal Studio is exactly what they do."

"I suggest Luo Bao go be the modeler herself. No other meaning, just because it's beautiful."

"So the 3D world is welcoming a new goddess, right?"

"The abacus beads are hitting my face."

"Thinking about the characters modeled by Miss Luo Quan, just thinking about it makes people excited."

"Shut your mouth, you're asking for death!"

"Why can't I understand what you guys are talking about? I'm still too pure."

………………

In a situation like this, it wasn't easy for Miss Luo Quan to speak up.

Because if she refuted it, she would be questioned: How do you know so much? Do you watch it often?

To be honest, she had actually watched some.

When watching, she often marveled at how advanced technology was today; AI face-swapping and modeling had reached a point of being lifelike. Although there was a significant gap from the real person, it already had a bit of the spirit, so she felt a bit weird when she saw it.

This kind of thing wasn't easy to explain, so to avoid exposing her browsing history, Miss Luo Quan pretended not to understand the fans' remarks and said: "You guys are talking about those AI face-swaps on Bilibili, right? Some of them use my face model; they are indeed quite similar. If you all like them, feel free to use them more. Maybe I can occupy a place in the 'ghost animal' section in the future."

Seeing Miss Luo Quan say this, they were actually a bit confused:

"Luo Bao really doesn't understand?"

"Probably hasn't watched it."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Haha, has everyone's topic gone a bit off?"

"Let's talk about 'Dragon Raja' properly."

………………

This made the fans who originally had the intention of trolling feel bored and started talking about other topics.

More than an hour later, Miss Luo Quan's livestream ended, and she went to sleep after washing up.

The next day, just as it hit seven o'clock, Miss Luo Quan, who originally wanted to sleep in, was woken up by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Opening the door, she found Wen Xia with a face full of surprise and joy.

"What is it, Wen Xia? Why are you awake so early today?" Miss Luo Quan yawned and blinked her sleepy eyes.

"Miss Luo Quan, what exactly was that lotus root soup of yours!" Wen Xia widened her eyes and looked at Miss Luo Quan: "As soon as I woke up this morning, I not only found that I had become younger, but I also seemed to have become much more beautiful. This wouldn't be the credit of that lotus root soup, would it!"

"It definitely is." Miss Luo Quan admitted without hesitation, "Didn't I tell you all before you ate it? Don't be too surprised if there are any changes when you wake up the next morning, because these are all normal situations that will occur after drinking the lotus root soup."

As the finale dish of the Empress Dowager's state banquet, one could imagine it couldn't possibly have only the effect of prolonging life.

That was the most basic efficacy of the ingredients themselves, and she didn't know how many heavenly treasures were added to this soup, but most of them were boiled into the soup and couldn't be seen at all.

Besides prolonging life, turning back the clock, improving appearance, enhancing martial arts cultivation, and improving aptitude—these were all effects it possessed.

It was precisely because the functions were so comprehensive that Miss Luo Quan had Ye Zhining prepare a large basin for her.

As long as it was good stuff, she was willing to hoard it.

And the Empress Dowager had a treasure like the Gathering Tripod; for her, getting more was just a matter of pouring another basin of water.

Now her family's cultivation was still very low, so they couldn't eat the complete version of "Return to Phoenix Pool and Boast," and the effect hadn't reached its best.

But even so, it had already made Wen Xia scream with excitement, clamoring that she wanted to eat more.

"This thing has high nutritional value. If you eat too much in a short time, you'll get indigestion." Miss Luo Quan refused Wen Xia's request with a laugh, "Be like Xiaomiao, exercise more to digest. I'll treat everyone to another meal in a while, and it will produce beautiful effects then too."

These words made Wen Xia's imagination run wild.

She had only eaten one meal, and it already made her feel like she was three years younger, and her appearance had greatly improved.

If she could have this every week, that would be too comfortable!

Miss Luo Quan seemed to see through Wen Xia's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't think that the effect of this thing can be stacked without limit. Everything has a limit, and lotus root soup is the same.

As long as you eat a certain amount, its effect won't be as obvious as when you first ate it.

Just like medicine, there is a certain drug tolerance, but the good thing about it compared to medicine is that there won't be any side effects, so you don't have to worry about any rebound."

"Luo Bao, where on earth did you get this from?" While happy, Wen Xia was also curious about the origin of this thing, "I've never heard of such a thing before. It feels a bit too magical."

"If I had told you three years ago that I could flip a truck with one punch, would you have believed me?" Miss Luo Quan laughed, "The world is changing; your mindset needs to keep pace with the times."

"It's not that I can't accept it; it's just that this matter is truly too magical." Wen Xia shook her head gently, then pinched her cheeks, which were full of collagen: "After eating this, I feel like I don't have to worry about wrinkles anymore.

When I woke up this morning and looked, the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes were gone, and the dark circles were gone too. I feel like I've returned to the age of sixteen; I'm just full of youthful vitality!"

Miss Luo Quan talked eloquently: "Actually, a youthful mindset is far more important than a youthful body, because the body will eventually age, but as long as you maintain a good mindset, you can be forever young."

"My ideological level isn't as high as yours." Wen Xia curled her lips, "I still prefer this kind of visible and tangible youth. As for the mindset, as long as the body is young, it will naturally become better."

"That's why I say you're shallow." Miss Luo Quan said with a giggle.

"Pfft, haven't disciplined you for a few days and you're starting to get cheeky again, right?" Wen Xia's eyes widened, and she reached out to grab Miss Luo Quan's waist.

Whenever she couldn't win an argument, Wen Xia would just take action instead of talking.

Facing this situation, Miss Luo Quan had no other good way except to flee in panic; after all, this was one of her only two weaknesses.

The sound of the two of them playing around woke up the others in the house who were still dreaming.

Not long after, exclamations rang out one after another, followed by the sound of footsteps thumping down the stairs.

"My dear sister!" After Gao Liang ran down, he knelt down with a slide, "What on earth did you feed me? How did I become like this!"

Miss Luo Quan looked closely and found that Gao Liang seemed to have become much fairer, and he had also become younger, giving off the feeling of a delicate, fair-skinned pretty boy.

"It feels quite good, is there anything you're dissatisfied with?" Miss Luo Quan said with a laugh.

"My tough-guy face that I finally managed to grow a beard for!" Gao Liang was full of grief and indignation, "I'm also a father now, and everyone is telling me to mature, and that's what I've been doing.

And just when I had some results, I woke up to find all my beard gone, and I turned into this sissy look. If people didn't know better, they'd think I changed careers to act in adult films!"

Miss Luo Quan said seriously: "I think it's quite good. A person's maturity isn't superficial maturity, but inner maturity. Your ideological level needs to be improved, little brother."

Wen Xia turned her head to look, feeling that this rhetoric sounded familiar.

"But it can't be this outrageous!" Gao Liang pulled Mia over, "Look at the two of us, what have we become now? If people didn't know better, they'd think we were high school students. If I hold my son on the street in the future, won't I be reported to the police and arrested?"
