Chapter 198: Robin, I'm Your Fan!

Time flew by. In less than a week, the film's production was already halfway complete—an absurdly rapid pace.

Yet, in a way, it made sense. Every scene was shot in a single take, with virtually no retakes required.

Even the most seasoned actors typically need time to find their rhythm on set and inevitably make mistakes during filming. If even one person falters, the entire scene has to be reshot.

Moreover, even if one actor finds their stride, another might suddenly stumb...

Chapter 197: Official Start of Filming

Lü Heng stared blankly. "So... you're really not a beautiful girl?"

Invincible Bro snapped angrily, "Stop being ridiculous! How could that be possible?!"

However, this exchange suddenly made Invincible Bro realize something. He gave Lü Heng a strange look. "You've encountered this twice now, and both times it involved gay relationships—first rejecting my confession, then confessing to me. You're clearly being manipulated. Guys... could this all just be an elaborate prank?"

Chapter 188: The Most Loved and the Most Hated

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap that shook the night.

The rain intensified.

Dark clouds obscured the moon's glow. Though doors and windows were tightly shut, some residents cautiously peered out into the storm.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots echoed through the night.

But in such treacherous weather, hitting the agile white figure was impossible. Bullets shattered the falling raindrops, veering harmlessly into the darkn...

Chapter 187: BGM: Life Will Change

"I never imagined our Special Task Force would be guarding a cemetery... for a dog," Turenna muttered, rubbing her hands together. "And not just any dog, but a departed one."

Chevreuse glanced at the tombstone. "Ronat's beloved dog, Carrot, rests here in eternal slumber," it read, adorned with several bouquets of flowers.

The air was heavy with humidity, threatening rain. Legend had it that rain fell when the Hydro Dragon wept. If true, the dragon's mood had been remarkably volati...

Chapter 186: Phantom Thief + Captain of the Special Task Force = ?

Whenever the Lavelle Prize was mentioned, people would sigh.

"The Lavelle Prize is still a joke."

"Even after the reorganization, calling it authoritative is laughable!"

The reason was simple: most of its former executive judges had engaged in financial transactions with certain individuals, resulting in biased evaluations and unfair rankings. The entire system was deeply tainted.

Many journalists had suffered, some even having their reputations unfairly tarnished.

Chapter 185: Mission Progress: 80%

The following morning, Special Task Force headquarters welcomed a "Special Task Force member" no one recognized.

"One, two, three!"

The team was engaged in their daily morning training, transitioning from weighted jogging to close-quarters combat drills. Thrusting and retracting their spears... they relied solely on their skills and physical conditioning, lacking the formidable Elemental Power.

"Captain? You're back."

Turenna wiped sweat from her brow and noticed Chevr...

Chapter 196: Friendship-Breaking Fist

Late at night, in Lü Heng's bedroom, he stood hunched over, scattering a handful of glutinous rice at his bedroom door while muttering to himself, "Glutinous rice isn't a coarse grain. It nourishes water, so..."

"So it repels zombies," a voice chimed in beside him.

Lü Heng nodded. "Right. And next... next... next..."

He froze mid-sentence. He was alone in his bedroom—how could there be another voice?

Trembling, Lü Heng slowly turned around. He clearly saw 'Invinci...

Chapter 195: Lü Heng, Who Seeks Help in Desperation

Sparkle sighed in resignation, finally giving up the struggle. "Fine," she said. "If that's what you want to believe, it doesn't really matter."

Jiang Li immediately clapped her hands triumphantly. "I knew it! In this world, there's no such thing as a mysterious benefactor. You're more likely to have a system drop from the sky! So, what should I call you? Miss System? Miss Spirit?"

"Just call me Miss System," Sparkle replied casually.

Since Sparkle would be working with Jian...

Chapter 194: So You're the 'System' After All!

Sparkle sighed, rubbing her forehead. "The problem is, I'm not a System Spirit. You've been reading too many novels, haven't you?"

Jiang Li's face fell in disappointment. "Oh... really?"

"But it's true that I can help you."

"But... if you're not a System, why would you help me?"

"You..." Sparkle groaned in frustration. "Why is your brain so fixated on Systems? Haven't you ever heard of someone getting help from a benefactor? I saw your extraordinary potential and decid...

Chapter 193: The Straightforward Female Director

"That Wang Ruodong—what a disaster he made of the last script! Why are we giving him another chance?"

"Ah, what choice do we have now? If I'd known he'd mess it up so badly, I wouldn't have entrusted him with the last script," Boss Wang sighed.

"Stop with the 'if I'd known sooner'! Why didn't you 'know sooner' when you were born?! It's all hindsight!"

"What the...?" Boss Wang stared, bewildered.

"Ahem, what I mean is..." Jiang Li cleared her throat. "Boss Wang, if yo...

Chapter 192: Huh?

Bang!

Lü Heng flung open the door to the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations with such force that it immediately drew everyone's attention. Invincible Bro, who had been mopping the floor, Bai Yuanju, who was typing away at her computer, and Zhong Wanhong, who was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, all turned to look.

Well, almost everyone. Yu Lin, the Dragon Lady, remained fast asleep, sprawled face-down on her desk.

Tap, tap, tap...

Igno...

Chapter 191: I'm Gay

It's worth noting that Sparkle had changed out of the Japanese-style yukata she had initially appeared in. She now wore a white sailor uniform with a black jacket, paired with a knee-length black pleated skirt.

Her feet were clad in round-toed leather ankle boots, with plain white socks that barely reached her ankles. Between the hem of her skirt and the tops of her boots, her slender, charming calves were exposed.

Before leaving, Sparkle had briefly tried on the white stockings F...

Chapter 190: Lap Pillow

Firefly sat on the edge of the bed, while Sparkle lay sprawled on her side, pointedly ignoring the perfectly good pillow nearby and resting her head on Firefly's thigh instead.

(TL Note: IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEE! )

How could that ordinary, unremarkable pillow possibly compare to this smooth, rounded thigh clad in white stockings?!

Sparkle held her phone in one hand, while the other gently caressed Firefly's leg, savoring the silky texture of the white stockings ben...

Chapter 189: The Hall of One

"The current Prime Minister of Sakura Nation..." Hermit murmured, glancing at the list in his hand as he located the first name.

What struck him as odd was the address listed beside the Prime Minister's name: a remote, abandoned warehouse. Hadn't this same Prime Minister recently issued a declaration of surrender?

Slightly puzzled, Hermit entered the warehouse. Inside, he found the Prime Minister bound to a chair, his mouth sealed with duct tape—a classic kidnapping scene.

Chapter 188: Grand Merriment

Sparkle produced a slip of paper, as if casually torn from a notebook. Neatly written names covered the page, each followed by detailed notes on the individual's current location—a thoughtful touch.

For Sparkle, obtaining such intelligence was child's play.

Suddenly, a joke popped into her head:

"Actually, you weren't originally on the list, but I have connections. I pulled some strings and got your name added at the last minute."

If she ever took a dislike to someon...

Chapter 187: Consumed by Rage

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as the Sparkle Plush Doll declared, "I won't explode!" a series of crisp explosions echoed outside the window of the Sakura Nation's headquarters. Turning to look, one could see a kaleidoscope of vibrant fireworks streaking into the night sky, bursting into dazzling patterns that illuminated the heavens.

The Deputy Director, who had already cowered beneath his desk, anticipating the unimaginable shockwaves of a super-explosion capable of obliteratin...

Chapter 186: The Kind Bomb

The Sparkle plush Doll bomb, of course, didn't have any "single-use" setting. After all, it wasn't even a real bomb; every word the doll spoke was remotely controlled by Sparkle herself.

Though she had lost her memories of the Hermit, the established facts remained unchanged: one of her clones had been destroyed, two others were still manifested, and the Sakura Nation person in White Eagle had shouted the detonation code.

No matter how she looked at it, this couldn't be a coincide...

Chapter 185: The Chapter with the Most Question Marks

The Deputy Director's luck could be seen as both extraordinarily good and remarkably bad. He happened to be reciting his mantra just as Hermit arrived. Yet Hermit was the only member of the White Eagle Eight immune to the "Nation's" blackmail, and the White Eagle organization held little significance for him.

Moreover, due to Hermit's unique Ability, all intelligence about him within the Sakura Nation was completely blank. The Sakura Nation had once devised assassination plans targeting...

Chapter 184: Hi~ Hello, I'm a Bomb

How exactly did the Deputy Director discover the Hermit? The truth is, he hadn't discovered him at all. He was simply repeating the same rehearsed line over and over:

"So, you've finally arrived, Hermit? You're even slower than I anticipated. I've been waiting here for quite some time."

"You've finally..."

"You've finally..."

He had even started this charade the previous day, leaving his office door slightly ajar as if welcoming a guest. He sat in the center of the roo...

Chapter 183: The Hermit

Having been discovered, Hermit saw no reason to remain hidden. He promptly deactivated his ability, pushed open the half-closed office door, and strode in with an air of casual confidence.

"How did you find me?" he asked, genuinely puzzled.

Hermit's ability, simply put, was memory erasure.

Unlike Hunter's, it was a purely developmental superpower. In its initial form, Hermit could only make himself forget what he'd been thinking a second earlier.

Wait, I have a sup...
