Chapter 118
Under the leadership of the Lizardmen.
Li Xingyi followed them to a utopian world developed by technology but where the existence of technology was erased.
And used technology to create 'pseudo-magic'.
Here, Li Xingyi heard the truth from the lizard man's ears.
They used an unheard of method to cultivate the power of "resistance".
That's the 'World Bubble'!
Create someone like Destiny Child to grow.
And in this small world bubble, the son of destiny is named Lu Wanli.
……
……
Inside the world bubble.
"Uh...you're telling me all this is true?"
A highly anticipated live interview was being conducted on a certain entertainment TV station, with a viewing audience of over a million.
The host repeatedly watched the video footage captured by the surveillance camera, and confirmed with the director next to him whether this was a hype live broadcast.
The director's denial left the host somewhat puzzled.
If what was shown in the surveillance video is true, then is the man in front of me really a human being?
In the surveillance footage, a masked man was holding hostages and confronting the police.
Suddenly, today’s interviewee, Lu Wanli, walked out from the crowd.
When the masked man saw someone coming out, he immediately put the knife to the hostage's neck.
Just as everyone gasped, Lu Wanli took out a small black wooden stick from the bag on his waist and drew a few characters in the air.
Before he could react, a blinding white ball of light rushed straight towards the robber, and a flash of light erupted the instant it made contact. The robber was in so much pain that he lost his grip on the knife and it dropped to the ground, whereupon he was pounced upon and arrested by the police.
The host's face turned green when he saw me recording the video, and he looked very surprised.
"Mr. Lu Wanli, let me confirm again, what you said is all true? Are you serious?"
"It's true. As we all know, videos cannot be photoshopped, and this is surveillance!"
After hearing Lu Wanli's answer, not only the host, but also the people watching the live broadcast were excited.
"Didn't we agree that no one can become a spirit after the founding of the country?"
"Where is the materialism you promised me? You're just showing me this?"
"Where can I find a master? It's so cool to be able to make balls of light out of thin air!"
Looking at the shocked reactions of others, Lu Wanli felt helpless.
He traveled to this parallel world a month ago, and it was exactly the same as the world of his previous life.
He also awakened a [Magician System], which in a godless world would simply make him a god!
After the system gave him the most basic magic, it closed itself. When he opened the system again, a task appeared.
[System Activation Task: In order to better teach magic, the host needs to increase the lethality. ]
【Mission goal: Get 500,000 fans.】
This completely broke Lu Wanli's defense.
Let’s not talk about whether he can become famous. If his use of magic is exposed, he might be taken away for dissection and experiment the next day.
Fortunately, after the video of him using magic went viral on the Internet that day, netizens seemed to be quite receptive to it.
He also wanted to seize the opportunity and use the current huge traffic to increase his exposure, so he accepted the live interview of this TV station.
……
"Sir, please don't lie to me. I have gone through nine years of compulsory education."
Although the host sitting opposite couldn't understand it, he was still unwilling to believe the even more incomprehensible video.
"I think you misunderstood, this is true. But he is not magic, it's just a trick, I am a magician!"
"That's what I said. How could there be magic in this world?"
Although it is a bit far-fetched for a magician to explain the ball of light, it is still more reliable than magic.
Thinking that people still have a negative attitude towards gods, Lu Wanli was ready to follow the host's words:
"Oh, these netizens are just too good, how could magic exist?"
"I actually just used some special props, plus the effects of light reflection, etc. It's not as magical as what is said on the Internet."
Although most netizens accepted this explanation, some people still refused to buy it.
It's not just because that group of people believe in theology, but more importantly, no one has ever performed such magic before.
How could the effect of light plus props have the effect of discouraging robbers?
If we really want to crack down on criminals, we should just equip every police force with a magician!
ding ding ding...
Outside the live broadcast room, the director heard the sound of a phone ringing.
"Hey...what did you say? There's a fire!"
After obtaining magic, Lu Wanli's five senses were enhanced. Even though they were more than ten meters away, he could still hear the content of the call clearly.
"I understand. I will end this live broadcast right away and then broadcast the scene of the fire. Don't worry."
The live broadcast will end soon...
A trace of regret arose in Lu Wanli's heart.
No, fire?!
This is really timely. If a magic firefighting method is used, it will be a huge hit on the Internet!
"Sorry, I need to go to the restroom first." After saying that, before the host could answer, Lu Wanli ran away on his own.
The director who had hung up the phone came over and said, "I'm sorry to everyone in front of the screen... Hey? Where's Lu Wanli?"
"Director, Lu Wanli said he went to the bathroom."
"Hiss~ Never mind, just wait for him to come out and tell him later."
After explaining to the host, the director turned around and bowed to the live camera, then said, "Because a fire suddenly broke out in Jianglan, we need to broadcast the disaster relief first. This live broadcast will end here. We are very sorry for this. Thank you for your understanding."
Lu Wanli in the toilet has already carved the magic circle for teleportation, but now he is a little at a loss.
"Oh my god! I don't even know where the fire is. This is the end of me!"
Open your phone and search for fire.
Still no news.
The fire had just started and had not yet been reported.
Ding!
Lu Wanli was extremely anxious, when suddenly something like a game panel appeared in front of him.
[Task retrieved: Disaster relief and firefighting are good for increasing your visibility, please go put out the fire! ]
【Mission objective: Extinguish the fire in Beishan, Lanjiang District.】
Oh! What the hell!
This system is just too good to be true.
Not only did he think about putting out the fire and increasing publicity like Lu Wanli, but most importantly, he also gave the location of the fire.
"Location: An empty cubicle in the public toilet next to Beishan, Lanjiang District."
Thinking that a person appearing out of nowhere might scare passers-by, he chose to teleport to the toilet cubicle.
After completing the positioning, Lu Wanli dived into the portal.
There are no awesome special effects.
The next second, he opened his eyes and found himself sitting on the toilet in the toilet cubicle.
That's it... that's it for teleportation?
The teleportation array is the most troublesome one among the basic magic.
Other magic at least has some special effects, but this portal took so long to produce such a mediocre effect, without even any special effects.
There is no time to think about these useless things right now. Putting out the fire is the first priority.
Lu Wanli opened the door and was about to run out, but he saw a raging fire through the glass of the public toilet.
"WDF! This teleportation is too tricky. How can you teleport someone into danger?"
He imagined using water magic to put out the fire and shock the entire internet. How did it become self-rescue? !
"Directly from the fire scene, welcome everyone to our live broadcast room."
"We can see that the wildfire is still spreading rapidly. Fortunately, the firefighters have arrived at the scene. I believe our firefighters can successfully resolve this disaster."
View from a helicopter.
The fire has spread over half of the mountain and shows no signs of abating.
Lu Wanli was thinking of the idea of extinguishing the fire in the work toilet.
The system only provides basic magic, which is still not enough when facing the flames all over the mountain.
"If we do it bit by bit, the speed of putting out the fire will be slower than the speed of the fire spreading!"
The most important object now is Beishan, a nature reserve, which is full of trees and has no shortage of combustible materials.
The overall area is too large, and it is not possible to build an isolation zone.
"Huh? This is... Damn it!"
The tip of the flame in front of Lu Wanli began to float towards the south, which was not a good sign.
It’s windy in Beishan!
The wind will make the fire spread faster, and it will be too late if we don't take action now.
Even the reporters in the live broadcast room of the helicopter started screaming loudly when they saw this.
"Ahhh! There's a strong wind on the North Mountain. This is very unfavorable for putting out the fire..."
Afterwards, even the reporters' helicopter withdrew from the area above, and the firefighters below could only put out the fire in the direction closest to the city.
It only ensures that the fire does not enter the city, but the fire on the mountain will spread and eventually the entire Beishan Nature Reserve will be burned to ashes.
"Hmm... look quickly, what's that in the fire?"
Looking in the direction of the audience's finger, a dot actually appeared in the flames.
It was insignificant in the overall sea of fire, but that dot meant that there was a place without fire in the fire.
That’s right, that dot is the area around the public beta where Lu Wanli is.
"Water bomb! Water bomb! Water bomb! ..."
Lu Wanli roared, and the water balls kept flying towards the flames.
Each water bomb has a diameter of nearly two meters when it explodes, so a little more space can be obtained.
There was almost no oxygen in the center of the flame, so he needed to use the water ball while replenishing oxygen near his head.
"Damn it, how many water bombs do I have to throw to see the effect?"
Although with the help of the system, he possesses unlimited magic power.
Any other basic magician would have died of exhaustion long ago.
"Audience, let's go up and take a closer look at what's going on in the center."
The helicopter in the live broadcast room flew back over the sea of fire again, and the lens focused and zoomed in continuously.
"Eh? Is that a person? No, there is no oxygen anywhere, plus the high temperature, how could anyone survive!"
As the camera zoomed in, Lu Wanli's appearance became clearer and clearer.
“Ah!! Isn’t that Lu Wanli who was just being interviewed? Why is he in the fire?”
At this moment, the sharp-eyed audience has already recognized Lu Wanli. The media present at the scene and the one interviewing Lu Wanli are from the same family.
In other words, everyone watched the show continuously and had very clear memories of Lu Wanli. After Lu Wanli's identity was confirmed, everyone was shocked.
"Why does he keep spurting out water? Is this also magic?"
"This is magic, right? The magician might be his vest!"
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. You've all overlooked an important issue. He was being interviewed just a second ago, how did he end up in the fire?"
……
buzzing...
"There is hope!"
Lu Wanli looked up at the sky and saw several planes coming over with a buzzing sound, spreading fire extinguishing agents.
Even artificial rainfall was started and the fire was brought under initial control.
The fire had subsided slightly, which gave the firefighters and volunteers below a chance to put out the fire manually. They brought fire extinguishers, and those who didn't have any took water and brooms...
Everyone worked together and headed up the mountain.
After three days and two nights of continuous efforts, the wildfire was finally put out.
The media also seized the opportunity and caught Lu Wanli as he was about to go down the mountain.
This is exactly what Lu Wanli expected.
"Mr. Lu Wanli...Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu Wanli?"
"Uh... Is there another me in the world?"
???
It’s confirmed, Lu Wanli is not a human being!
"Mr. Lu Wanli, you played a significant role in putting out the wildfire, but shouldn't you still be interviewed in the company outside? Why are you here?"
Lu Wanli had no intention of hiding it, so he just said it directly.
"I teleported here directly. Flying would take too much time."
Just a few words from Lu Wanli were enough to overturn the current world.
Especially netizens, they were really unhappy about it.
You told me you are a magician???
A magician can shoot water balls???
Magicians can teleport???
Don't be ridiculous, okay?
"I think netizens also want to ask, are you really a magician and not a wizard?"
Lu Wanli gave the reporter an awkward but polite smile.
"I am indeed a magician. What's wrong with a magician carrying some water balloons?"
I don't believe you at all!
Netizens are not fools, you are just coaxing a child.
"Sir, your definition of a magician is a little strange, isn't it?"
"This is indeed magic. There is no such thing as magic. You have to believe in science!"
immediately.
Lu Wanli opened another portal and returned home.
"Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"
Lu Wanli slept happily, but others couldn't.
Lu Wanli became popular due to the contrast between the magician he interviewed and the magician of fire, directly surpassing a number of celebrities and topping the hot search rankings on major platforms.
There are overwhelming speculations about Lu Wanli. Some people don't believe it, but the video of the firefighting is there, so there is no reason not to believe it.
The marketing accounts are even more heavyweight, not only magicians, but also immortals, hermit bosses, the number one magician, and the real-life Harry Potter...
Just like that, while sleeping, I gained all kinds of titles that sound awesome.
There was even a liar who claimed to be Lu Wanli's apprentice. The most important thing was that he was a fake apprentice at first glance.
"Hello everyone, I am the apprentice of magician Lu Wanli. My master has lived for more than a thousand years and is a hero who protects the world in secret."
"The master rarely accepts apprentices, but he said I was very talented so he accepted me. I am still learning."
"I will definitely follow my master's footsteps and contribute to the world!"
That's right.
Just this one sentence became the second most searched topic. You can imagine how outrageous the traffic for this incident involving Lu Wanli was.
The most outrageous thing is that no one doubts the authenticity of this statement at all. Everyone thinks that the things on the hot search are true.
Of course, there are some people who are more sober and have questioned this liar.
But then the scammers deleted their comments and blocked them.
