BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 Dream
Chapter 66 Dream
Zhou Yu was also watching this magical show in the background, but his distance was much closer than others, so he saw more things. Just above the stage, several members of the operation group were singing magic words in a low voice, and as the magic took effect, the silk threads that wrapped around each finger of the group members began to move and manipulate the puppets below, making them do all kinds of movements.
And on the two sides of the stage where viewers could not see, one side several members were playing a variety of instruments, while the members on the other side were holding manuscripts, dubbing the performance through microphones. They belonged to the sound effect group. In addition to that, there were several other magicians, who dressed in fancy clothing and seemingly much more superior, were performing various lighting explosion operations under the stage.
Lighting explosion operations referred to the operations of changing lighting effects, sceneries, and various other Magical effects. When the puppets entered the fighting scenes, the special effects instantly stunned those children.
After the protagonist shouted Dragon Flame Cut, a real dragon flame was cast out and shot toward the enemy, and then it was destroyed by the evil magician with a magical barrier. Then the close fight, it was as fast as if they were the real peerless masters fighting in a duel, not some puppets being manipulated by strings.
Although the story was still the cliché old story of a prince saving a princess, this direct display of special effects, as well as the wonderful fightings, made those children cheered constantly, as if they were watching a 3D movie.
To be honest, Zhou Yu was also shocked.
Zhou Yu didn’t expect that the so-called magic show of the midnight Troupe would be so realistic. All kinds of sceneries were directly completed by the superior magicians, and the transitions were instant. The wonderful other world creatures were energetic and outgoing as if they were alive. The magics were dazzling, the fightings were marvelous. It truly deserved its name – Magic Show.
There were also different types of battlegrounds, on the land, in the air or under the water. The first two battlegrounds were easy to be understood by those kids. But the last one really shocked everyone. When the scenery was switched, a large stream of water burst out from the backstage. It turned out that two superior magicians were using water magic to change the scenery.
Little Rat and other children were startled by the water. Just when they wanted to run, they noticed that it seemed like the water couldn’t get out of the stage as if there was something that blocked it from leaking out.
It was probably a glass. The children thought.
Puppets could even swim and fight under the water. Normally this kind of thing was not possible, but it clearly happened in front of them. The final BOSS demon dragon was even more domineering. From the human-formed dragon until transforming into e huge flying dragon with scales and claws, the dragon’s roar made Little Rat and other children shiver in fear.
After a series of magical battles, the prince and his party finally succeeded in killing the dragon, the princess was also rescued. It was still the old cliche ending.
Children clapped their hands constantly. It meant that they liked this magic show a lot. And Zhou Yu also got an unexpected gift.
“You have observed a very unique show. It helped you to gain insight into the meaning of life. You have learned the skill – ‘Life Is Drama’”
After some red letters floated in front of Zhou Yu, a skill slot appeared at the bottom left of the view of the ACG world. After opening it, there was only one skill in it. Life is drama: “it can only be used once a day. It can be used to transform the player into any pre-defined professions. The effective time is 1 hour. Each profession can only be selected 2 times, and the skill will disappear automatically after all the professions are used up.
‘Damnit, this skill has a limit on the number of times it can be used. But it sounds like a quite good skill. Let me check first what profession it has.’
Profession choices – the omnipotent farmer: “can use the common hoe to grow all kinds of the seeds of the ACG world; the genius beast Hunter: “having 60% probability that small beasts will surrender without fighting; the strongest talker: “able to convince a character of the ACG world to join you team without any conditions or requirements, except for the ones with special talents. The success rate will vary when trying to convince those characters; the magical lucky one: “even if sitting there, not moving, good lucks will still crash right into you.”
Looking at the four glittering professions, Zhou Yu was drooling. They were all good professions. But as soon as he saw the number of times that could be used after each profession, his face suddenly dropped. ‘Damnnit, whenever I received something good, it always came with some limitations. Two times was so little, it should have at least given me ten times.’
Unfortunately, there was no way to bargain. However, using 1000 Moe coins to exchange a good skill, it actually was not a loss.
While feeling pitty, Zhou Yu sneaked out of the classroom behind the stage. And from the other door, he suddenly came out from little rat’s back to scare them. Little Rat and other children were still clapping their hands. However, the sudden appearance of Zhu Yu scared them into screaming while running everywhere. A little girl was so scared that she burst out crying instantly. Only until Zhou Yu turned on the light, did they finally calm down.
“So, what do you guys think. How is this little theater that I personally created? Is it beautiful?”
“Brother Yu, that was awesome! I still want to see another one!”
Little Rat was very excited. He didn’t expect that Brother Yu also knew how to control a puppet, and it was much better than the one on the TV. Even if it was just the little trick of the dragon’s fire breath, it was still much better than everyone else. When the festival arrived, if he could show it to other people, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
However, what little rat didn’t expect was that brother Yu looked at him in confusion and said, “what do you mean another one? This is just a mini-theatre. It is for you guys to learn how to control puppet in the future. Look, I even made some puppets for you already.”
Everyone was extremely confused. When they looked back at the small theater, the lights were gone, the scenery had also disappeared. There were only a few puppets, that were in different types of postures, suspending on the empty stage by several strings. There was a prince, a princess, and a dragon, but they could not move, and they were the real soulless puppets.
“Brother Yu, please don’t scare us. Weren’t you controlling the puppets behind the stage earlier?”
Little Rat’s voice was shaking. He was on the verge of crying. They were clearly moving earlier, and there were so many voices and music. He originally thought that they were brother Yu’s friends. But why he was saying this now. If it was not brother Yu, what did they watch together just now? Could it be that... They just saw ghosts.
All the children thought of this almost at the same time. And all their small faces went pale instantly. However, Zhou Yu did not seem to care about it, he just carried on, “I went to the toilet earlier. And I just come back. Besides, I don’t even know how to control a puppet show? If you don’t believe me, come, let me show you.”
After Zhou Yu opened the curtain of the backstage, those who did not believe Zhou Yu, followed Zhou Yu into the backstage. And surely, there was no one inside. This time the faces of children were even paler. All of them began to drag Zhou Yu and urge him to leave the school. They did not dare to say a single word about that puppet show anymore.
A dream, that was full of magic colors and some horror element, was a gift that Zhou Yu gave to those children. Although he did not know if they liked it or not. Perhaps when they grew up, they would still remember what happened tonight. This could be one of their precious childhood memories in their lifetime.
Anyway, tomorrow he still had to come back to disassemble to the stage.
