Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 311 "Whoever can pull out this spear will win the heart of the most beautiful girl in the universe."

Under the bright moonlight, Pearl Shoal Waterfall in Jiuzhaigou resembles a silver ribbon, with steel cables piercing through the damp fir treetops and fine mist condensing in the air.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were whispering sweet nothings by the waterfall, while on the other side, several actors were being berated by the director, especially the stuntman, who was making frequent mistakes for some reason today.

The director sighed, thinking to himself, "If everyone could be like Luo Feifei, doing their own stunts and still getting such good results, that would be wonderful."

Apart from Luo Feifei, the other actors who co-starred with her, whether they performed the scenes themselves or used stunt doubles, all looked terrible.

No matter how I filmed it, I couldn't achieve the effect the director wanted.

"Director, is it possible that your standards are too high?" one of the actors couldn't help but whisper. Actually, they had all worked very hard and felt that their performances were quite good, but today, acting alongside Luo Feifei, they were overshadowed by her presence, which is why they seemed "utterly inadequate."

At this moment, Luo Feifei walked over with Li Xiang and called out, "Director, why don't we let Li Xiang try? He can be our stunt double."

The director gave Li Xiang a careful look, then secretly gasped, thinking to himself, "How could I have forgotten about that?"

This guy with wild fantasies is a first-rate action star, though he's not a proper celebrity, just a live-streaming e-commerce influencer.

The director naturally knew Li Xiang, because last year's film version of The Return of the Condor Heroes was incredibly popular, a box office smash, and reportedly made the investors a fortune. Li Xiang's portrayal of Yin Zhiping was arguably the most handsome Yin Zhiping ever, showcasing exceptional martial arts skills. He and Luo Feifei were a perfect match. Otherwise, no one online would be shipping this "fanciful" couple.

"I'd love to welcome him, but regarding the salary..." The director hesitated, unsure how much to offer. Li Xiang wasn't in the entertainment industry, but he was quite famous.

If they give too little, Li Xiang might not agree; if they give too much, the production team will suffer a loss, since it's just a small scene with a stunt double.

Luo Feifei then looked at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang waved his hand and smiled, saying, "It's a friendly cameo, a free performance. Don't blame me if I don't act well." He had scoured the world and acquired a huge amount of resources, making him incredibly wealthy. He wouldn't even look at such a small role.

"No, no, how could I blame you? Thank you so much!" The director stepped forward and shook hands warmly with Li Xiang.

Then, he explained the scene to Li Xiang and called in the martial arts director, a well-known figure in the industry, to explain the action sequences.

After explaining it once, Li Xiang nodded and said, "Understood. Shall we start right away?" It was getting late, and everyone should get some rest after filming this scene. He and Luo Feifei still had other commitments.

Everyone present watched with bated breath, while some were secretly hoping to see a joke unfold. They thought to themselves, "Does he really think he's a martial arts superstar? The director wasn't satisfied with the filming over a dozen times. Does he think he can do it in one take? He'll be crying later."

Li Xiang went to change into his costume, and a prop was handed to him, but it was a little small for his tall stature.

"Do you have a spare one? Preferably someone handsome," Li Xiang said.

The prop master thought for a moment and said, "There's a really cool outfit, but it's a bit heavy, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to wear it."

"It's alright, just bring it over." Li Xiang waved his hand dismissively.

The prop master thought to himself, "You asked for this yourself. If you get tired of wearing it and can't film the scene well, don't blame me."

Soon, a strong staff member came over carrying a set of soft armor, which, judging from the effort he was putting in, must have weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds.

Li Xiang took it as if it were nothing, quickly put it on, and then donned the harness.

There was no other way; I had to wear wires. Otherwise, I couldn't explain it.

As soon as the director gave the signal to start, Li Xiang moved. He shattered the wild azaleas on the cliff edge and used them to propel himself into the air. The wire rope creaked and rattled in the mist of the waterfall as his handsome figure leaped into the air like a dragon in flight. With a sharp shout, like a thunderclap in the sky, everyone jumped in fright. At the same time, the long knife in Li Xiang's hand gleamed like a white lightning bolt in the moonlight as he slashed towards Luo Feifei.

Luo Feifei's pretty face was as cold as frost, for at this moment she was a righteous heroine, while the one chasing her was the most powerful villain in the world. The two were enemies and could not exchange glances.

Be professional when filming; keep flirting and banter to yourself.

Faced with Li Xiang's relentless onslaught, Luo Feifei flicked her longsword, sending up a flurry of colorful petals, and swiftly thrust it towards Li Xiang's throat...

In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, rabbits leaped and falcons swooped, leaving afterimages everywhere, leaving everyone stunned.

"Wow, I feel like I've traveled through time! This isn't a movie set, it's a real martial arts world!" someone exclaimed.

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Damn... that was such a beautiful fight!"
You can't truly understand the excitement and exhilaration of being there unless you're actually there.

The director quickly recovered, beaming with excitement and gesturing wildly: "This is the effect I wanted! This is the effect I wanted!"

He couldn't help but say to the stunt double standing next to him, "Why can't you pull off this kind of momentum? It's all weak and sluggish, like comparing heaven and earth."

substitute:"……"

Soon, the martial arts instructor's face darkened because Li Xiang and Luo Feifei didn't follow the previously designed moves at all. Instead, they improvised and changed many of the moves. But soon, the martial arts instructor's face lit up again because Li Xiang and Luo Feifei's modified moves were even more amazing, and the fighting effect was at least two or three times better than before.

"Wow, that's awesome. If they switch careers to become action choreographers, they'll be taking my job."

However, the martial arts instructor quickly shook his head, realizing he was overthinking it. What kind of status or position did that person have? How could he possibly be a martial arts instructor?

Luo Feifei earns more than ten times as much as him just by acting in a movie.

Li Xiang, it is said, also earns hundreds of millions of yuan a year, making him one of the highest-earning internet celebrities.

In reality, Li Xiang's income is far more than what netizens speculate. It's just that Li Xiang is low-key and pays taxes according to regulations, so no one investigates him.

It was a temporary cameo role, acting opposite Luo Feifei in a scene. It was just a little bit of fun between the two of them, but it was enough to satisfy the director.

The filming was completed quickly.

Li Xiang dropped Luo Feifei off at the hotel and then left.

Luo Feifei's mother was also with them, which was inconvenient.

"Mom, these are skincare products Li Xiang gave you." Luo Feifei took out the expensive cosmetics and skincare products from her bag and handed them to her mother.

"Did he really send it? It wasn't sent to you, and you're just using it to curry favor with him?" Luo Feifei's mother asked suspiciously.

Luo Feifei quickly explained, "No way. He really picked these out for you. They're a gift he gave me. They're these snacks, and um, this Chanel bag."

"Well, this kid is thoughtful." Luo Feifei's mother had a good impression of Li Xiang. When she lived with Li Xiang before, he took very good care of her and her daughter. Li Xiang and his grandmother were also very kind and warm-hearted; they were a nice family.

"Feifei, you and Li Xiang aren't really dating, are you? Don't mess around before you turn 18." Luo Feifei's mother was still very worried about her daughter, after all, she was a minor. She didn't want her daughter to get into a scandal involving underage pregnancy, which would probably ruin her career.

"Oh dear, Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiang and I are just... ordinary friends, nothing's even remotely happening yet," Luo Feifei said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"That's good. Anyway, you should be more careful, because girls are more likely to be taken advantage of in this regard," Luo Feifei's mother advised earnestly.

"Okay, Mom, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow." Luo Feifei thought to herself, Mom, you don't know, in this respect, Brother Xiang is very protective of himself, afraid that he will suffer.

"See you tomorrow."

So, the two went back to their respective rooms. They stayed at the best hotel in the area. Originally, Luo Feifei's mother wanted to share a room with her daughter, but Luo Feifei said that "she's grown up now and needs her own space," so she and her mother each got a room. Besides, the film crew was paying for the accommodation, so why be so stingy? Thus, they each got a room, but they stayed next to each other.

After returning to her room, Luo Feifei locked the door, took a bath, changed into a sexy nightgown, and then opened the window, but drew the curtains.

As for whether there were hidden cameras in the room, there were none. Every time Luo Feifei stayed in a hotel, she would use her perception ability to scan the room; if there were any, she would shatter them immediately. She would even check her mother's room. Not long after, a dark shadow flashed by, and sure enough, a man entered.

Luo Feifei immediately threw herself into Li Xiang's arms, burying her head tightly in his broad chest.

"I'm covered in sweat and haven't showered yet."

"It doesn't smell bad, it smells good." Luo Feifei smiled.

"I have important business to attend to." Li Xiang pushed Luo Feifei away. Mainly, if he hugged her any longer, he couldn't guarantee he could control himself. Luo Feifei prided herself on being the "most beautiful girl in the universe," and indeed, in the entertainment industry, her looks were unmatched.

Such a beautiful girl, hugging him tightly and saying she smelled sweet, was giving him so much emotional value. Li Xiang felt that his self-control was already quite amazing to be able to resist pushing her down.

Many powerful figures stammered when they met Luo Feifei, which speaks volumes about her charm. Despite her young age, the Luo family's daughter has blossomed into womanhood, and her beauty is beyond words.

"I knew you wouldn't come to my door unless you needed something. You can come find me next time if you don't have anything to do." Luo Feifei took Li Xiang's hand, and the two sat down on the sofa together.

Li Xiang then took out the fragment of the "Spear of Longinus".

It was originally a complete gun, but only one-third of the shaft was "genuine." So, the rest of the worthless parts were cut off and thrown away by Li Xiang.

"What is this?" Luo Feifei took it, probed it with her spiritual power, and the gun was stimulated, causing several oracle bone script characters to appear.

Li Xiang then explained the origin of the fragment in detail, saying, "There should be two more fragments scattered throughout Europe, but we don't know where they are. I would like to borrow your divination skills to determine their location."

Eileen actually knows a little about astrology, but she is not proficient in it. She obtained the coordinates of the Seven Crowns more through the "holy blood" in her body and the mysterious objects left by her family, such as the parchment scroll and the iris emblem inside.

Generally speaking, there are no extraordinary particles on Earth right now. One way to step into the extraordinary realm is through the spiritual medicines rewarded by the system. Li Xiang's companions all relied on his spiritual medicines to reach that level.

However, there are always exceptions. For example, Yaki Toto from South America specializes in the ancient spiritual magic of his tribe, possessing extremely powerful spiritual strength, making him a half-step into the extraordinary realm.

The old master of Chinese martial arts has been immersed in traditional martial arts for decades and has long since mastered the art, and can be considered to be half a step into the extraordinary.

Irene de Merovinga is even more special. The ancestral holy blood flowing in her veins is essentially a elixir. She broke her knee in the cellar of her ancestral home, and the blood dripped onto the rusty armrest of the ancestral throne. Stimulated by the "royal consciousness" contained within, her holy blood was activated, thus allowing her to step into the extraordinary realm.

Perhaps there are other extraordinary individuals in the world, hidden among the common people, but Li Xiang just hasn't encountered them yet.

Putting aside other things, there are three divine-level "Dragon Vein Spirits" in the Qinling Mountains, the Forbidden City, and Nanjing. If someone receives their blessings and has good talent, they can also step into the extraordinary realm.

Eileen's ancestors may have had some extraordinary encounter, which led to their special "holy blood" and the establishment of a glorious dynasty.

The first Frankish dynasty was somewhat blessed with good fortune.

Luo Feifei said, "Then I'll give it a try."

With a flick of her wrist, she retrieved divination tools from the Space Stone, lit a stick of sandalwood incense, and began the divination.

Luo Feifei's skill level was naturally high; within minutes, she deduced the location of the remaining fragments using divination. Of course, this was mainly because she now had a section of the gun barrel in hand, which greatly increased her certainty.

“It’s not three pieces, it’s four pieces… no, to be precise, it’s five pieces. Besides the one you have, there are four other pieces that are still out there,” Luo Feifei said.

Li Xiang nodded, naturally trusting Luo Feifei. The previous statement about three pieces was just a common belief. Who would have thought there were two hidden pieces?

“Then let’s set off now and get back before dawn,” Li Xiang said.

"They've been filming all day, aren't they tired?" Luo Feifei rolled her eyes.

Li Xiang: "...It was my oversight. How about tomorrow night?"

"No, no, I just feel exhausted after a long day. My back aches and I really need someone to give me a massage so I can leave," Luo Feifei said with a mischievous smile.

"So you were waiting for me here. Fine, as long as you don't mind my rough technique."

"I don't mind, I don't mind, hurry up!" Luo Feifei urged, extremely excited that she could finally get Li Xiang to do something for her.

Li Xiang then massaged her shoulders and used his self-created back-pushing technique.

"Such a beautiful back, it would be a shame not to get cupping done. How about I give you some cupping?" Li Xiang said.

Luo Feifei rolled her eyes in annoyance: "..." She was just starting to feel something and was really enjoying it when Li Xiang, this straight man, ruined the atmosphere.

With such a beautiful back, the first thing you thought of was cupping? So many cupping marks, how can it look good?

Actually, as a seventh-level superhuman, filming for a day is like a game to her, so she wouldn't have any back pain. She just wanted to find an excuse to get closer to Li Xiang.

She felt bad about letting Li Xiang keep pressing the button, so after only five or six minutes, she went to the bathroom to change her clothes.

Soon, two figures jumped out of the window and left. Li Xiang, carrying Luo Feifei, sped towards Europe at a speed of Mach 12.

Luo Feifei originally had the Lightning Phantom Armor and could reach speeds of Mach 2 or 3, but compared to Li Xiang's current speed of Mach 12, it was far inferior.

If Asia is Li Xiang's backyard, a place he can visit whenever he wants, then Europe is like the entrance to his village, a matter of taking just a little more time.

Their first destination was the Alps.

This is the highest mountain range in Western Europe. Its name means "white" in Latin because its peaks are covered with snow all year round and its valleys have glaciers.

The Alps are located in southern Europe, stretching from southeastern France in the west, through northern Italy, southern Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and southern Germany, to Austria and Slovenia in the east. They extend in an arc from east to west, with a straight-line length of approximately 1200 kilometers and a width of approximately 130-260 kilometers, with an average elevation of around 3000 meters.

One of the coordinates used by Lofifi in her divination was Mont Blanc, the main peak of the Alps, which is 4810 meters above sea level and located on the border between France and Italy.

Li Xiang used his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability) ability, and his earth vein perception ability covered an area of ​​more than 20 kilometers. Soon, he found half of a spear in a hidden cave on Mont Blanc.

The spearhead, along with the weapon itself, was embedded in a giant rock. Even if an ordinary person saw it, they wouldn't be able to pull it out.

If it falls into the hands of a royal family and is brought back to their castle, it might be used as a selection test. For example, whoever can pull out half of the spear can marry the princess, or whoever can pull out half of the spear can become the legitimate king.

Perhaps, it will become a beautiful story, written into a legend or a fairy tale.

Luo Feifei chuckled, stepped forward, raised her slender hand, and declared loudly, "At this moment, I declare that whoever can pull out this spear will win the heart of the most beautiful girl in the universe!"

Li Xiang laughed and said, "We are Easterners, we don't play those Western games." He stepped forward and, with only one or two percent of his 22-jin strength, easily pulled out the broken spear.

They then went to the Pantheon in Rome and found another fragment in a crack in the dome.

The third fragment was found inside the wooden plank church in Urnes, Norway, hidden in a bronze safe shaped like a Viking longship.

Having found these three, and adding the original half of the spear shaft, Li Xiang pieced them together a little and discovered, "Hey~," the spear parts were complete.

"What is the fifth fragment? Should we still look for it?" Luo Feifei asked.

"Of course I'll go." Li Xiang was also curious about what the fifth fragment was.
