Chapter 93: Video from Another World

Liu Jing was an editor at Tenglong Video, whose main daily work was responsible for auditing and editing videos on the platform.

For instance, auditing videos uploaded by individual users; if they were illegal or violated rules, they would be deleted or banned, though most were audited and processed automatically by programs, so he only needed to audit parts the programs could not judge.

If he discovered any interesting or valuable videos, he had the authority to pin them to the homepage, making this work very easy.

Today, Liu Jing, as usual, was searching the backend for videos uploaded and shared by individual users, wanting to see if there were any interesting videos.

Liu Jing browsed video titles at a speed of reading ten lines at a glance; this day-after-day work made him somewhat uninterested, and very few videos could attract his attention.

Suddenly, a video titled "Video from Another World" caught his attention.

The video's cover displayed a wolf-like creature with two heads; its right head was deep blue, and its left head was silver-white.

Liu Jing gave this cover a score of nine; the two-headed wolf looked lifelike, and he didn't know if it was hand-drawn or computer-generated CG.

In fact, this video cover was what Cang Luo had just filmed facing Erha, so of course it looked lifelike.

Next, Liu Jing looked at the video preview image; he found the video's quality was a bit poor, seemingly shot with a mobile phone, far inferior to the cover's quality, and the video duration was not long, just ten minutes.

Then, Liu Jing glanced again at the video author's username: First Transmigrator of Earth.

"Heh, it's 2016 and you still choose this username, so chuunibyou; you don't even have good filming equipment, and yet you want to create original content?" Liu Jing instantly lost the desire to click in and watch.

Liu Jing scrolled the mouse wheel to continue browsing other videos, but after a dozen seconds, he inexplicably returned to the previous video.

He stared straight at the two-headed wolf on the video cover for over ten seconds, muttering to himself: "This two-headed wolf is indeed made very realistically; the CG production level is not low. I'll give you a chance."

Saying this, Liu Jing clicked on the video titled "Video from Another World."

The video began playing; he saw some tree branches swaying in the wind at the edge of the screen, so he guessed the video author had propped the mobile phone on a tree to film.

The video continued playing; a human circle formed by two or three hundred people of Gao Zhongsheng age appeared in the video, both men and women, all wearing uniform cyan clothes.

In the human circle, two other groups of about thirty people each stood facing each other; the group on the left wore silver-white clothes, and the leader was a black-clad, cold young man with a majestic bearing.

The group on the right wore the same cyan clothes as the two or three hundred people forming the human circle; their clothes were much lower in class than the group on the left, but the two handsome men and beautiful women in gold-trimmed white clothes at the head were imposing.

These clothes all looked very old-fashioned to Liu Jing, a bit like training uniforms; he guessed the place in the video should be a martial arts school, and the video author with the username "First Transmigrator of Earth" was likely a student of that martial arts school.

Liu Jing continued watching; he saw each of the two groups sent out a young man.

No, the side in cyan clothes sent out a scruffy-bearded young man, appearing to be in his early twenties; they stood in the arena staring angrily at each other, as if they had some grudge and were about to fight.

"Yo-ho! Are these students from two martial arts schools challenging each other to a fight? They're even bringing weapons."

Liu Jing thought the thirty men and women in silver-white training uniforms holding weapons were students from another martial arts school who had come to the martial arts school in the video for some reason to fight.

However, how could he possibly think of the true identity of this group as outer court disciples of the Kong Sheng Academy, an Imperial-level sect of the Chu Kingdom in the Yuanwu Continent?

Cang Luo had provided no explanation or introduction in the video description either, because writing it would convince no one; it was better to just release the video to avoid trouble, and he had only uploaded one video, which was the match where he summoned Erha to PK Long Zhantian.

Seeing this, Liu Jing immediately became interested; he originally thought this video was a fantasy short film, but he didn't expect it to be a challenge video between two groups.

"Hmph! Clickbait cover plus clickbait title! If the fight isn't exciting, I'll ban you immediately!"

Liu Jing predetermined an ending for the video author with the username "First Transmigrator of Earth."

The video continued playing; watching the two sides preparing to fight, Liu Jing instinctively sided with the younger group, namely Long Zhantian, an outer court disciple of the Kong Sheng Academy wearing silver-white training uniforms, with a Warrior Stage 9 cultivation!

In his view, although Long Zhantian was younger, he looked more powerful and robust; from his demeanor, he was clearly a righteous character.

The other young man, wearing dirty cyan training uniforms and keeping a scruffy beard, looked like a street beggar, and appeared relatively weak, so he probably couldn't beat the opponent.

The video played for another half minute; the two people in the arena were saying something unknown, which he couldn't hear clearly; in short, neither side moved for a long time.

Liu Jing became a bit impatient, but just as he wanted to fast-forward, the scene in the video suddenly changed; that scruffy young man in cyan training uniforms suddenly made the gesture of summoning a summoning beast from Naruto.

The next second, a flash of silver light appeared, and a circular pattern composed of various strange symbols suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the scruffy young man, seeming somewhat like a magic array.

Immediately after, the wolf-like creature with two heads from the video cover jumped out of the circular magic array.

Liu Jing was stunned and said irritably: "Good heavens, wasn't this a challenge video between two martial arts schools? How did the style suddenly change into a special effects short film?"

"Hmm, the technique is decent; although the quality is a bit poor, the handling of details like shadows is good, worth at least five yuan."

"But, are you guys this idle? Two or three hundred extras don't have classes? Don't you need to pay wages?"

Liu Jing made a small complaint, then continued watching the video.

In the video, the character played by the scruffy young man seemed to be a summoner; he sat motionless, letting his summoning beast, the two-headed wolf, launch a fierce attack on the imposing young man opposite.

The deep blue wolf head could spray fire, and the silver-white wolf head could spit white smoke to create fog and block vision; for the first few minutes, the two-headed wolf dominated, pressing the opponent.

Liu Jing watched more and more intently, not because the fight was exciting, but because the CG special effects in this video were truly too realistic.

Whether it was the two-headed wolf or the fire and smoke spewing out, it almost reached the point of being indistinguishable from reality; this technology was completely not inferior to the special effects of Hollywood blockbusters.

Moreover, the acting of the actors and extras on both sides of the battle also made Liu Jing admire; it was as if they could truly see the two-headed wolf and fire, acting surprised or pretending, interacting perfectly.

Among them, the imposing young man had the best acting and fought the hardest; during the segment where he was on fire, Liu Jing could be one hundred percent sure it was not special effects, but real burning on his body; his hair was even scorched, and he didn't know if it was a wig.

Admirable! Worthy of respect!

Stunt actors really have it hard; they are much more dedicated than those who obviously use green screen compositing.

The video continued playing; at this time, the advantage between the two sides of the battle suddenly turned sharply; the originally disadvantaged imposing young man suddenly received a long sword from a classmate behind him.

When Liu Jing saw the long sword, his eyebrows immediately furrowed; from the details of the imposing young man holding the sword, he discovered the long sword was likely a real weapon, a sharp sword made of stainless steel.

"Truly a martial arts school; the props are ready-made, and they are real weapons." Liu Jing sighed, then continued watching the video with unblinking eyes.

In the video, the long sword in the imposing young man's hand suddenly emitted dazzling cyan light, and also slashed out streams of sword qi and wind barriers, easily forcing the two-headed wolf to retreat and reversing the situation.

Liu Jing exclaimed: "These special effects... too realistic?! And this video author's imagination is quite big; Yasuo fighting Naruto?"

Two minutes later, the video finished playing; the final winner was the scruffy young man; after recalling the two-headed wolf, he took the initiative to attack, and with only three palm strikes, he knocked the imposing young man flying and defeated him.

This ending made Liu Jing somewhat unhappy; clearly looking like a villain, why did he win in the end?

Sigh! Lacking positive energy!

However, the CG special effects in this video were truly impeccable; absolutely not inferior to Hollywood special effect blockbusters; this video author is a talent.

Such awesome special effects cannot be buried; they must be shown to netizens across the country, letting those haters know that China's special effects are completely not inferior to Hollywood.

So, Liu Jing gave this video a subtitle, then pinned it to the trending section of Tenglong Video and highlighted it.

The video subtitle was: "Domestically made special effects short film, peak domestic special effects, not inferior to Hollywood special effects, Yasuo fighting Naruto!!!"

Apart from Tenglong Video and Liu Jing, video platforms and editors continuously saw the videos Cang Luo uploaded, all marveling at the high production quality of Te Shui and pinning them to the homepage.

However, not a single person believed the video was filmed in reality, that it truly came from another world...
