After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Xiao Qingxi finally returned from the cultivation world to the modern world.
Before she transmigrated to the cultivation world, she was a C-list celebrity hated by the entire internet. Now, she was sitting in a car on her way to a variety show.
The show she was about to join was so unpopular it was practically dead. Every guest was a nobody, and the viewers tuning in were mostly there to laugh at them.
But when Xiao Qingxi arrived, she discovered... things weren't quite as she'd imagined.
Guest A spoke in classical phrases and could read someone's fate with a single glance. He was a metaphysics master who had just transmigrated from ancient times to the present.
Guest B had whittled a chair leg into a staff on his first day on set. Someone had seen him flying through the sky on a mop. He was a male witch summoned here by a magic circle.
Guest C kept saying things like, "Never look down on a poor young man." When a monster ambushed him in the middle of the night, he ripped off his shirt and conjured a horse from his battle aura...
Guest D...
Xiao Qingxi: "..." Is there something wrong with the feng shui at your production company?
And was the world I left before transmigrating really this dangerous???
*
Everyone on the show knew this was a scientific world.
So whenever they did something out of the ordinary, they racked their brains for ways to cover it up.
Faced with an ice demon crawling up from the abyss, the witch waved his staff and melted it into a puddle with volcanic lava.
He forced himself to explain to the livestream camera: "This is... this is..."
Xiao Qingxi chimed in at just the right moment: "It's not magic, it's a little science experiment. My middle school chemistry enrichment class taught me this is 'Pharaoh's serpent,' right?"
The witch let out a sigh of relief. "That's right, that's right! Pharaoh's serpent!"
Long Aotian unleashed his battle aura and cut down a monster.
He hesitated, about to destroy the livestream camera and erase the unscientific scene, when Xiao Qingxi suddenly appeared.
Xiao Qingxi: "I heard Mr. Long's studio developed holographic projection technology. Is this it? Amazing, amazing. So scientific."
Long Aotian beamed. "That's right, that's right! Praise science!"
The other guests had been bailed out by Xiao Qingxi time and again. They were both grateful to her and fond of her.
Look, this girl is trying so hard to preserve her shattered worldview.
She's the only ordinary person on the whole show. We mustn't scare her.
Then one day, the earth shook, and the sealed ancient divine beast Zhuyin burst out of the ground.
The witch snapped his staff in half, the metaphysics master's eyes welled with bloody tears, and the horse conjured from battle aura was flattened by one swipe of Zhuyin's tail...
At last, Xiao Qingxi drew the life-bound sword from her dantian.
"Please, viewers, don't panic," Xiao Qingxi said with a smile. "What you're about to see is how special effects are made against a green screen..."
The guests: "!!!"
The big shot was right here among us! You've been hiding this from us all along!
The viewers: "..."
You're lying! Zhuyin's whiskers just floated past my window. What kind of green screen could do that?!
