Chapter 11: CG Production
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After finishing dinner, Lu Wu took Bei Li home.
When he thought of the CG trailer, he started to worry.
First of all, he had no funds to hire a professional CG production team. Secondly, how could he present the beauty of this game using a trailer? This was also an important consideration.
Without any ideas, Lu Wu was forced to ask Bei Li who was lying on the bed while looking like a dejected young girl.
At this moment, Bei Li looked like a prodigy in Lu Wu’s eyes. She knew everything and could do anything. Even though she had a flat chest, she could be considered as his second divine artifact.
Bei Li also did not disappoint Lu Wu. After thinking for awhile, she had an idea.
It was simple. It required the battle artifact, but no production team. The shooting can be done completely in the underworld. The backdrop would be created using Yin energy, and an epic background could be materialized with zero cost.
Lu Wu thought for a moment, and felt that this could work.
This method could even recreate the actual graphics in the game. It would look like a recording of an actual playthrough, making it more attractive.
After confirming their methodology, Lu Wu and Bei Li started to discuss the story of their trailer.
They spent an afternoon talking about it. After confirming the outline of the story, Lu Wu held Bei Li’s hand and arrived at the Mansion of the Dead.
Looking at the dilapidated palace, Lu Wu waved his hand, immediately activating the artifact’s ability. A huge amount of Yin energy rushed in from all directions, gathering above the Mansion of the Dead.
Within a moment, a tumbling dark cloud was formed. It descended steadily before covering the entire dilapidated building while it continued to solidify.
Very quickly, a grand, majestic building appeared before them.
Huge black statues stood majestically before the gates while the tall black stupas touched the skies. The two huge gates were guarded by burly giants born of Yin energy. It was a sight to behold.
Now, Lu Wu floated upward as the Yin energy supported him from below. He stretched his hand again, and Yin energy gathered around his body densely, materializing into a shiny black armor.
Clouds of Yin energy were rolling in front of Lu Wu. Countless scary ghosts and monsters were formed within. These monsters were as tall as mountains! They had wings on their backs and terrifying faces.
“Turn it on!” Lu Wu instructed Bei Li who was beneath, holding the VR headset.
Receiving her instructions, Bei Li nodded vigorously, and turned the headset to record. She aimed the camera at Lu Wu as a flower of Yin energy bloomed beneath her, elevating her.
The story officially began.
On top of the dark clouds, countless scary demons were bellowing and screaming, rushing toward the ground in hordes.
At the same time, an angry roar came from within the dark clouds.
“King of Beiqi, do you think you can protect your people? The entire lands of Beiqi will soon be mine!”
Immediately, a heavy dark fog appeared. A humongous dragon head peeked out of the fog, its red eyes staring still at the land.
“Then we shall battle!” Lu Wu replied coldly.
“Will the mighty men of Beiqi go to war!?” Lu Wu raised his hand and beckoned those behind him.
“War! War! War!”
As the heavy footsteps were heard, Yin soldiers clad in full armor emerged from the dark fog.
Several tens of thousands of Yin soldiers raised their weapons and challenged the monsters in the air. There was not a single shred of fear in their eyes, but an endless desire to battle.
“Kill the enemies with me!” as Lu Wu cried out, all of the Yin soldiers levitated.
“War! War! War!”
A pitch black wind passed by. The flag of Beiqi was flying wildly in the air as the battle began.
It was a bitter fight. Dark figures fell off the sky unceasingly as severed limbs piled up on the ground. Countless soldiers sacrificed their lives, while the opposing army of monsters continued to suffer heavy losses under the Beiqi Army’s persistent resistance.
At the end of the battle, the Black Dragon King itself entered the fray, battling against the battered Lu Wu.
The battle between two bosses stirred up terrible gusts of wind. The dark clouds around them were ripped apart by slipstreams, revealing the blood red moon that hung tall above the skies.
But the Black Dragon King clearly had the advantage. When the victory was about to be decided, Lu Wu yelled out loud, and his body started to burn with black flames. He became a ball of fire and rushed toward the terrified Black Dragon King.
Suddenly, the Black Dragon King’s cries echoed in the air. The huge flames spanned a thousand miles, burning innumerable monsters, turning them into fireballs, and sending them down below.
The Beiqi Army ultimately won this battle, but they lost their leader, the King of Beiqi.
The awesome Mansion of the Dead was also lit up by the falling sparks, and burned brightly, declaring the death of its master.
A rain of blood descended from the skies. Countless soldiers kneeled and bowed their heads down in remembrance of the great king who gave up his own life for the Land of Beiqi.
