Chapter 1038 - 428: Dundun: Want to Hit Me with a Snowball? Sorry, My Luck Value Is Maxed Out!

After walking quite a distance, they finally saw a row of houses.

It seemed to be an ecological park, where you could eat and stay overnight.

Once everyone got off the car, Chen Yan introduced:

"This beautiful lady is Mi Lan, who is a famous large-scale grower. This whole estate is Mi’s territory. Brother-in-law, is it enough for your filming?"

"It’s definitely enough, thank Mi for providing such a great location!"

Mi Lan waved with a smile:

"It’s an honor to have the renowned Lin here for shooting... Are you starting right away or going inside for some tea first? I’ve asked the aunt here to make some ginkgo tea, perfect for snowy days."

If it were a sunny day, noon is not suitable for filming.

But today it’s snowing heavily, and the noon light is quite nice, so Lin Xu said:

"Yan, you guys can go in for tea first. I’ll adjust the equipment, and use the drone for a round to see how the aerial shots look in the snow."

Although the videos shot on snowy days are beautiful, the process is very arduous as you constantly have to prevent snowflakes from hitting the lens, and keep an eye on the battery, to prevent rapid power drain in low temperatures.

As for the drone, Lin Xu pasted a hand-warmer outside the battery compartment.

After testing it, the shooting effect was quite good.

Then he mounted the camera in a fixed position and drove through the Ginkgo Forest.

Occasionally, he deliberately aimed the lens at the direction where the car wheels were going, capturing close-ups of the tires and splashing snow.

Or mounted the camera behind the windshield, filming the scenery as the car advanced.

After these shots and details were done, Shen Jiayue took over driving, while he controlled the drone for tracking shots, capturing high-altitude overviews, low-altitude sweeps, and gliding side shots, with the technique making the whole process very smooth.

While filming in the Ginkgo Forest, after drinking the ginkgo tea, Chen Yan approached Dundun with a sly smile, and asked:

"Little one, want to go play in the snow with your aunt?"

"Meow!"

Of course, Dundun agreed. It jumped lightly into Chen Yan’s arms, pleasantly surprising her.

However, since your mom and dad aren’t here now, even if you willingly come to me, auntie still has to teach you a lesson, hmm, let’s see if you dare tap my head next time I play the piano.

She dressed Dundun in a little vest with a tracker, and carried the little one outside.

As soon as they reached the snowy ground, Dundun leapt down and started frolicking in the snow.

It hopped and jumped to a nearby Ginkgo Forest, tail held high like it was patrolling its territory.

Chen Yan seized the moment, scooping up snow and molding a snowball, aiming fiercely at the wandering Dundun, but just as Dundun halted, the snowball flew past its head.

"Meow?"

Dundun glanced at auntie and continued onward.

Annoyed, Chen Yan clapped the snow from her hands, muttering how close she was, determined to try again, not believing the little one’s luck.

She bent down to mold another snowball.

Then walked forward, stepping on a fallen branch from the tree, and with a throwing stance, hurled the snowball forward.

At this moment, the tree’s once bowl-thick dead branch suddenly snapped.

The snowball hadn’t even left Chen Yan’s hand when she fell heavily onto the snow.

"Meow?"

Dundun let out another curious cry.

Not understanding auntie’s actions at all.

"What the hell, why do all the bad luck happen to me?"

Chen Yan got up from the ground, feeling a bit spooked.

Meanwhile, Zeng Xiaoqi and the others came out from the tea-drinking inside and saw Yan covered in snow, curiously asking:

"What’s wrong with you? Falling in advance to win your opponent’s sympathy?"

"I slipped..."

Chen Yan muttered and then bent down to grab snow for another snowball, heading into the forest and nearing Dundun who was still leisurely strolling. Just as she was about to raise her hand, perhaps due to the heavy snow, the north wind blew, knocking a large pile off the ginkgo tree’s crown right onto Chen Yan’s head.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Unable to believe a person could be so unlucky.

Yet Dundun ran over, meowing with curiosity around Chen Yan, seemingly not understanding.

Covered in snow from the hit, Chen Yan pouted helplessly, thinking why is messing with this little one such a crime?

Just as she grabbed snow to continue, Geng Lele came and suggested:

"Enough Yan, stop trying. If this keeps up, we’ll have to call for an ambulance."

Not far away, Zeng Xiaoqi found it amusing, and while Geng Lele comforted Chen Yan, she grabbed a snowball, aiming it at Dundun.

But as she released, her hand slipped, the snowball unluckily hitting Chen Yan instead.

Chen Yan: ????

Dundun bullying me is one thing, but Director Zeng exploiting the situation too?

She quickly got up and started a snowball fight with her supposed ally Director Zeng.

Soon, the battle escalated, involving Qi Panpan, Chen Yuanyuan, Dou Wenjing, Geng Lele, Brother Qiang... even Mi Lan, who initially acted as a hostess, joined the fray.

By the time Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue returned from filming, they found everyone immersed in an epic snowball battle, reminiscent of past Northwest skirmishes.

"What’s going on? Isn’t Yan supposed to be rallying against me?"

Lin Xu saw his little one eager to join and helped her zip up her jacket, handing over gloves:

"Go play, I’ll organize the video materials."

He had brought his laptop today, so while everyone was engaged in the fight, he went back to the room to organize the equipment, copying the video clips to the computer one by one.

Then he sat by the fireplace in the room, starting to edit the video with the computer.

While working, Dundun pushed open the cotton curtain on the door with its head, coming to the fireplace and squatting down, earnestly accompanying Lin Xu by the fire.

Half an hour later, Lin Xu finished editing the video, taking advantage of the good network to upload it and give it an irresistible title:

"The First Day with the New Car: With Snow Blowing, of course, I’ll take the chance to make a VLOG to earn the car money back!"

Soon, the video uploaded successfully.

Upon seeing the title, the netizens were immediately surprised:

"What, doesn’t Lin have an X5?"

"That’s old news, dude. At the last car show, didn’t the boss lady buy him a MASERATI with her pocket money?"

"So, has the MASERATI arrived?"

"..."

Lin Xu was about to browse the comments when suddenly a system prompt sounded in his mind:

"Host’s first advertising video uploaded, rewarded with Perfect Level dish - Honey Ginkgo, congratulations!"

Oh wow!

Uploading an advertising video also brings rewards?

Should I consider taking on commercial orders then?
