Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

In July, City A was as hot as a steamer.

Children in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools across the country have officially begun their two-month summer vacation.

My WeChat Moments are filled with people posting travel photos, gaming achievements, and photos of sleeping in until noon.

College students are especially happy because they have no homework during their summer vacation.

Except for a certain cursed group.

Researchers don't get summer vacations.

Their tutor would post a message in the group chat saying, "The holidays are a good time to catch up on the progress."

Then an attachment was sent to me.

Upon opening it, I found thirty pages of references.

Zhao Yang belongs to this cursed group.

I'm a first-year graduate student majoring in chemistry. My advisor's surname is Zhou, and he's known as Zhou the Skinflint.

Other professors would at least say "Take care and get some rest" before giving students a break.

What Zhou Bapi said was, "I've fixed the air conditioner in the lab, so everyone can work with peace of mind."

Zhao Yang has been working overtime for a week straight.

Every day, I wear a white coat and stay in the lab from nine in the morning to ten at night.

The only thing that kept him from fainting on the spot was noon today.

Tickets for the K-On! concert are now on sale.

Zhao Yang is a long-time fan of the Land of Light.

He was a fan of Ultraman Tiga, CLANNAD, and Kamen Rider...

But his favorite will always be that anime about five high school girls drinking tea, practicing piano, and eating cake together.

Yui Hirasawa, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tai, Tsumugi Kotobuki, and Azusa Nakano.

He could recite the names of all five people perfectly.

And there's a detail: the voice actors for these five characters are actually five high school girls.

Not only are the character names and real names completely identical, but their personalities, ways of speaking, and even musical instrument skills are also highly consistent.

Although the authorities have never officially acknowledged it, they have never denied it either.

There is a saying circulating among the people.

This isn't actually an animation. It's a documentary that A-Guang filmed with a group of high school girls who can play musical instruments, and then animated it frame by frame.

Although this claim is as outrageous as "the Land of Light is actually run by aliens."

But the fans just keep believing it.

The only thing that Zhao Yang resented was...

The anime ended abruptly after Yui Hirasawa and her friends graduated from high school.

Although the Land of Light added two extra episodes afterward, one was about a school trip and the other was about a New Year's shrine visit.

But it's not nearly enough.

Not enough.

Zhao Yang has a dedicated account on anime forums.

I've posted no fewer than fifty requests for more updates.

The title changed from "[Ah-Hikaru, please make the university version]" to "[The reason I haven't gone crazy is because I'm waiting for the K-On! university version]".

The wording is getting increasingly out of control.

Similarly, there are people lurking on the forum every day.

"K-On! will never end!"

An ID named "Blue and White Striped Bowl" posted a GIF of themselves sobbing while hugging K-On! merchandise.

"Hikaru, stop just throwing out angst, can you update K-On!" a bit?"

The poster was clearly a familiar face to the victims of the Land of Light.

The portrait is still a picture of Caesar's remains.

"I'm going to die if I don't get to see Yui Hirasawa and the others' university life!"

This post has received over 10,000 likes.

Some people left rational replies below.

"Forget it, the prototypes for Hirasawa Yui are only in their second year of high school. If we're going to see the university arc, we'll have to wait at least two more years!"

Then he was chased and cursed for eighteen floors.

The reason given was, "Don't tell me about reality, I just want to watch anime."

"Waaaaah, my Azusa is only a first-year high school student."

A comment from an account whose profile picture is of Azusa Nakano.

In the story, Azusa Nakano is a grade lower than the others.

She was still in her second year of high school when the other four graduated.

Zhao Yang watched the scene of their parting no less than ten times, and he wanted to cry every time he watched it.

"The rose doesn't need to grow tall; its lovers will bend down for it."

The next reply immediately followed up with this famous line.

"Another lolicon, let's just give her high voltage."

The posts on the forum urging updates are getting new and creative every day.

Someone has compiled a list of "Top 10 plot points we most want to see in the K-On! University Arc".

The first item is "Wei and Azusa's daily slacking off".

Someone sent a handwritten letter to the Land of Light.

The envelope was addressed to "Director A-Kuang" and contained a five-page petition.

Someone even created a crowdfunding website for the "K-On! University Edition".

They raised 20,000 yuan after three months of fundraising.

Finally, the Land of Light's officials discovered this and politely returned the gifts, along with a K-On! poster for each person.

Now, there is finally something to look forward to.

Tickets for the long-awaited first concert of "K-On!" by the Land of Light have officially gone on sale.

Venue: Lotus Sports Center, City A.

The most expensive ticket, SIVP, costs only 49.9 yuan.

The day the price was announced, the fan base remained silent for half a minute.

49.9 yuan.

A concert at a large sports center that can hold tens of thousands of people.

The highest tier ticket costs less than fifty yuan.

"Does the Land of Light have some misunderstanding about prices?"

Someone commented on Weibo.

"For less than the price of a buffet barbecue, you can go to a concert and get a bunch of freebies?"

Someone immediately provided a screenshot to supplement the information.

Yes, the ticket price also includes a whole bunch of official merchandise.

One K-On! album CD, one custom light stick, one concert limited edition poster, and one random character badge blind box...

The official title of the Land of Light reads:

"The above materials are available free of charge upon presentation of a ticket; no additional fees will be charged."

One fan did the math in the comments.

According to normal calculations, the total price of the materials already exceeds 60 yuan.

The most expensive concert ticket only costs forty-nine.

"I suspect that the purpose of the Kingdom of Light concert is not to make money, but to launder money, or rather, to launder the company's money to the fans."

This comment was liked and pinned to the top.

The invoices will be issued at noon today.

At 11:50, Zhao Yang slipped out of the laboratory.

He bypassed the security guard who was dozing off at the end of the corridor.

After passing through the fire escape at the back door of the chemistry building, I pushed open the iron door leading to the rooftop.

There was no sunshade on the rooftop, so the sunlight shone directly down, and the ground was so hot you could fry an egg on it.

But the signal is best here.

He held the phone up to his eyes and checked all the indicators.

The signal is at full strength, the battery is at 97%, and all background apps have been cleared except for DaMai.com.

Turn off WiFi and use 5G.

The WiFi in Zhou Bapi's office gets so slow around noon that even papers can't load. We can't let that thing mess with us.

He took a deep breath.

I glanced at the time on my phone screen.

Eleven fifty-eight.

Zhao Yang's palms began to sweat.

He wiped himself on his pants and gripped his phone tightly again.

My thumb hovered two centimeters above the ticket-grabbing button, afraid to touch the screen for fear of accidentally pressing it.
