Pokémon's Lord of Fear

10 billion, 20 billion, 30 billion, and finally, Teng Shu's last work reached a box office of 37.2 billion, an unimaginable number. It can even be said that there will never be such a result in the history of film. Teng Shu was very calm about it. The master-level skills brought about a huge and unimaginable dimensional reduction attack.

This also brought Tengshu a huge amount of fear value, which directly exceeded 200 million. Without hesitation, Tengshu chose to do a 20-pull and drew a bunch of strange but very powerful items. This made Tengshu feel that if he went to fight a gym now, he probably wouldn't have to do anything. He could just stand there and get the final reward and become the champion.

"My brother is too cunning. He actually retired right away." Teng Shu sighed when he thought of his unreliable brother. Daigo did retire after all, and handed over the position to Wallace. However, Wallace also gained the recognition of the Elite Four with his excellent skills. Now Wallace is the champion of the Hoenn region.

Daigo also set a record for the shortest reign in the entire league, leaving Fujiki somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Boss, are you really going to retire from acting?" Zoroark looked at the information in his hand, somewhat hesitant. After all, in Zoroark's opinion, his boss's strength was becoming more and more amazing, and he could easily dominate the film industry. But his boss actually wanted to retire from acting.

“Yes, it’s time to retire.” Teng Shu smiled. He had wanted to retire for a long time. After all, he had filmed most of the horror movies he needed to, and there was no point in continuing like this. It would be better to retire early and do his own thing, which would be more convenient.

As for whether this would bring any regrets? Teng Shu felt there were none. His directing career was without regrets, and his achievements also turned around because of this. 37.2 billion, this height almost suffocated the film and television industry. Countless people were flattering him, countless people were sucking up to him, countless people wanted to act in his films, and some women were sending him photos like crazy.

They all want to debut.

Although Teng Shu knew that the entertainment industry was a place where people made stars and then trampled on the bad, this was too ruthless. No wonder everyone around him was smiling after he became famous. These days, only the successful can understand this. No matter if others are cursing you behind your back, they all have to fawn over you in front of you.

It's no wonder that power and status are so addictive; the feeling is indeed very enjoyable. However, this is not what Teng Shu wants; he still has many things to do.

As a director, Teng Shu was quite tired. He planned to take a good rest during this period. As for how long he would rest, that was up to fate. He could rest for as long as he wanted. As for what would happen after the rest, Teng Shu was too lazy to care. These things were too troublesome to think about. He felt that he might be handling official business at Dewen Company for a long time. However, with Fugui, he should be able to get rid of it soon.

Seeing this, Zoroark also released the image of Teng Shu's retirement. As a result, after Teng Shu's last movie was taken off the screen, the entire alliance was once again shocked by Teng Shu's bombshell, and everyone was discussing the matter.

Countless people were shocked. After all, Teng Shu had now reached the pinnacle. You could say that even if he farted now, people would praise him for his artistic expression.

That's how ironic it is.

However, Teng Shu chose to retire at the peak of his career. Teng Shu himself didn't seem to care. Creators do have creative blocks, and although he didn't, Teng Shu still planned to retire. After all, retiring at the peak of one's career would put an end to his reputation and evaluations, making it impossible for others to continue to belittle him. He would be deified.

In my past life, there were many people who became famous at a young age, but in their later years, they met with misfortune and died.

So Teng Shu doesn't want to fall from grace in his later years.

After retiring from acting, Teng Shu first accompanied his elderly father around to mine, and then accompanied his older brother to mine. Teng Shu felt that he was doing nothing but mining every day with Mu Jin and Daigo, which was suffocating.

However, it was also for this reason that Teng Shu's body looked much stronger now, all thanks to mining. This made Teng Shu both laugh and cry. But he found this kind of life quite interesting. He also understood why his older brother and father liked mining, just like those fishermen.

After finishing all that, Tengshu rode his Mega-Evolved Rayquaza and traveled all over the world, finding and eliminating the villains in various league regions, thus successfully dealing with them.

Afterwards, Tengshu went to see Ash again. Ash was still traveling, but with Tengshu's help and guidance, Ash became a Master Trainer in a shorter time. He was very grateful to Tengshu, but Tengshu sighed. Before Ash became a Master, he did have a feeling that time was fixed, but now that feeling was gone.

Time then began to pass normally, but this also meant that Tengshu had more things to do.

When he had nothing to do, Teng Shu also went to see Zoroark and chatted with him. Ghost Pictures did not go bankrupt with Teng Shu's retirement and continued to advance its business.

"Phew, I feel so relieved~" Teng Shu patted Xiao Q's head happily.

Tengshu also had his own ideas about the future. He went to find Jingxiang, started dating her, and then spent two years getting to know each other before holding a wedding and successfully escaping single life.

During this time, the old man also helped take care of the Wen Company, and Teng Shu got three years of honeymoon time. During these three years, Teng Shu took Jing Xiang to travel all over the world for their honeymoon, and their life was very happy and fulfilling. Xiao Q and Fu Gui Xiao Ye also accompanied Teng Shu.

Zoroark stopped following Tengshu. She had her own ideas. Zoroark used the salary and bonuses Tengshu gave her to start a game company that specialized in making pay-to-win mobile games, ripping off players to the point of despair. Many people denounced Zoroark as a profiteer. Then, in the third year of Tengshu's honeymoon, Zoroark released a buy-to-play single-player masterpiece, instantly turning around her reputation and becoming a new legend in the gaming world.

However, the vines didn't participate much. He just smiled and offered his congratulations before continuing with his own business. He had a child; Shizuka was pregnant.

Shizuka's pregnancy also relieved Tengshu from his busy schedule, and his father, Mujin, was overjoyed. Meanwhile, his unlucky older brother, Daigo, was once again pressured to get married. To Tengshu's surprise, Daigo actually married Cynthia. It was unclear when the two of them had fallen for each other, but they were indeed together. This surprised Tengshu somewhat, but he was quite happy and pleased with the outcome.

After Shizuka's pregnancy reached full term, she gave birth to a daughter for Fujiki. Fujiki was quite happy, and the old man was also smiling broadly. Meanwhile, his older brother had a gentle expression. Cynthia was also pregnant, and Fujiki was going to have a little nephew or niece.

"So, our topic today is director Teng Shu, who retired from acting ten years ago but still left a significant mark on film history." On a television program, a female host was introducing today's topic.

[Director Teng Shu? I know, his works are too classic, he left behind a lot of thrillers and horror films. To be honest, even now I don't dare to watch director Teng Shu's horror films, especially the Ju-on series.]

[That's not all. Director Teng Shu's "The Truman Show" and "Buried" are also classic works, and he has created a whole host of other intellectual property.]

[I really like the character Sherlock Holmes, but director Teng Shu is just too busy and doesn't have much time to film the sequels. It's infuriating!] [That's nothing. My childhood ended after Tom and Jerry ended. I even donated a million to director Teng Shu to make a Tom and Jerry movie, but he refused.]

[He's the chairman of Devon Corporation, how could he possibly care about a million? Godfather, I suggest you donate it to me; my Tom and Jerry fanfic is currently being serialized!]

"First of all, please welcome our special guest, Mr. Locke, the Minister of Culture of the Alliance and the President of the Film Association!" the female host said enthusiastically. Then a man who looked very scholarly walked onto the stage and waved to everyone.

"So, Mr. Locke, what are your thoughts on director Teng Shu? Ten years after Teng Shu's retirement from acting, what are your views on his directing career?" the female host asked enthusiastically.

"I think Director Teng Shu is an excellent and great film director. His horror films have completely rewritten the horror film market in the entire alliance. Previous horror films are far behind Director Teng Shu's horror films, and everyone can see that." Locke spoke eloquently.

Yes, yes, I've seen horror movies before. Before director Teng Shu came out, those horror movies just made me laugh; they weren't scary at all.

[Hilarious! It's the same old formula: the protagonist goes on a trip, encounters a crisis, suffers a setback, then investigates and discovers it's a Ghost Pokémon, defeats the Ghost Pokémon, and life is perfect.]

I want to speak up for Ghost Pokémon! Ghost Pokémon are still very strong!

The comments section was a bit off-topic, but the show is still going on.

The host and guests discussed Teng Shu's movies and found that even the lowest score was nine points. Moreover, there were the most reviews about "The First Commandment." People were speaking freely, and some comments were even too numerous to be edited out, which made the female host a little embarrassed.

"So, President Locke, if you were to give Director Teng Shu a final evaluation, what would it be?" At the end of the program, the female host asked a question, and Locke fell into a long silence.

"If I had to give director Teng Shu a rating, my assessment would be that he is absolutely the most outstanding director in the history of the Alliance Films so far, without exception!" Locke said very sincerely. The box office is 37.2 billion, and if you add the revenue sharing from streaming services, the total box office is over 70 billion, and it is still rising from time to time.

Because Teng Shu's last film was so stream-of-consciousness, many people keep rewatching it. Because of Teng Shu's film, there are many derivative works, and even now, many people are still discussing what Teng Shu's film symbolizes and what he wants to express. But the problem is that Teng Shu has never said what these things mean, so such discussions have lasted and given the film more discussion.

The female host agreed with the question and even applauded. Then, with some music playing, the episode ended.

Although Director Teng Shu is very talented, life goes on, and the world won't stop turning just because someone leaves. So, after a few days of lively discussion about Teng Shu, not many people will talk about it anymore. That's just how the world is.

[I have to say, director Teng Shu is really amazing. He gave me the feeling that he was just joking around until the very end, when he finally revealed his true talent.]

I watched my final work countless times. Every time I finished watching it, I wondered if I was living another life after I fell asleep.

Don't even mention it. I feel like every time I go to sleep, I'm a reader, reading a novel that reflects our lives.

The program ended, but people were still discussing it. Meanwhile, in another place, people were also talking about the vine tree.

【Lady Snow Woman, please stop! There's really not a single drop left: I have to say, Director Teng Shu is truly amazing】

[It's bad luck, not good luck: Indeed, without director Teng Shu's films, I feel life has become much less interesting.]

Are you all weirdos?: Yes, I think watching director Teng Shu's movies, although scary, the feeling after watching them is really exhilarating.

[A horror film presented to the world: Indeed, it's the 10086th day of missing Tengshu]

[A Snorlax fan: Indeed, it's been 10087 days since I last thought of Tengshu]

The building is leaning to one side.

"Honey, what are you looking at?" Shizuka asked lazily. Tengshu smiled and showed his phone to his wife.

“I’m watching them remember me,” Teng Shu said smugly, though the wording wasn’t quite right.

"Dad, you're wrong. It's not 'remembering,' it's 'cherishing memories'!" A little girl happily held Tengshu's hand and corrected him.

"Yes, yes, yes~ My good daughter is the smartest~" Teng Shu smiled, then glanced at Xiao Q, who was helplessly dodging the little devil's claws, while Fu Gui was yawning and looking at documents, and the evolved Night Demon was in a daze.

This guy just stares blankly every day, I don't know what he's looking at.

Teng Shu held his daughter, happily lifting her high in the air. Although he had retired as a film director, his new life as the richest man was just beginning. (End of Chapter)
