Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

"Xiao Kui, don't just watch TV, you have to eat your meals properly too!" Qin's mother reminded her.

"Okay!" Xiao Kui replied with a smile, then looked at her brother and asked, "Nini, shall we watch TV together tomorrow?"

"Ah... um." Jing hesitated for a moment and then nodded. If it was just during dinner time, watching one episode of a TV series wouldn't make a difference. However, a person's time in a day is limited. If you spend too much time on one thing, you'll have less time on the other. This might be a bad start.

Jing opened the closet door at night. There were three sets of clothes for sleeping: the panda-themed set his mother had insisted on giving him, a light blue pajama set, and a light gray pajama set...

If we were to use an RPG game as an analogy, Qin Jing would be the type who hesitates when faced with multiple route options.

On his journey to defeat the Demon King, if he discovers other, more interesting routes, he might forget about the princess in the Demon King's castle. For example, he could marry his travel companion, open a tavern near a secret realm he's exploring, and transform the game from a dragon slaying adventure into a management simulation.

Alternatively, one could gather manpower, build an army, conquer various kingdoms to accumulate military strength, and ultimately defeat the Demon King to become the overlord of the world.

In real life, he might read a novel about chess and find Go interesting, so he might want to learn it. Seeing a handsome painter might make him want to paint. And reading a novel about sports might make him want to try sports.

It's not contradictory for a young person who enjoys reading books to also enjoy watching TV and movies, right? At least if they've had similar experiences to the protagonist of the story, they can gain more insights from reading.

For old Beijingers, the "Beijing flavor" mentioned in Mr. Shu Qingchun's article means they can appreciate even more.

Like the jazz, classical music, baseball, women, chess, and cooking that Murakami always talks about in his novels;

As a young person with a love for literature, there's nothing wrong with being open to new things, probably...

That night, Qin Jing put on her Panda pajamas and crawled into bed.

Section 29, Chapter 29: Rin and Sakura's Dream

Last night, he dreamt of memories from another life again. In the game he played in that world, the twin-tailed magician girl in red and the blue-haired girl who often came to his house to cook for him, somehow overlapped with Rin and Sakura's faces...

It's so strange, how can characters from anime overlap with real people? I guess the drama I watched yesterday was too exciting. Because my dream last night was so bizarre, I still feel sleep-deprived when I woke up this morning.

Qin Jing yawned as she walked towards the school.

"Hey, Xiaojing. Come here for a second, Xiaojing." Aunt Li, who already looked a lot like a raccoon dog, was seen sneaking around and beckoning to them.

"Good morning, Aunt Li, I've already had breakfast." Qin Jing decisively refused. Although he was one of the two most popular animals on the shopping street, he didn't want to develop a habit of being fed, especially not to become a panda who would feel disappointed if he wasn't fed one day.

"I know, today it's not croquettes, it's this." Aunt Li pulled out a bag and said, as if showing off a treasure.

"What's this?" Qin Jing peeked inside and found a small square box with the Holy Grail War and a fox icon printed on it, along with the Chinese characters for "steamed bun".

"These are merchandise items that officially went on sale at 9 a.m. this morning. I took them out secretly, so keep them safe and don't let anyone see them."

"Oh... thank you, so there are other food options around here?" Qin Jing asked with a sigh as she took the box.

"Yes, Japan's ability to develop its surrounding areas is number one in the world," Aunt Li said matter-of-factly.

The airing of the TV series sparked a discussion among the kindergarten children.

Yuan Lin and Yuan Ying were just ordinary classmates yesterday, but now they're practically child stars.

"Ah, I saw it..." Qin Jing's words were drowned out by the swarm of other children.

"I saw it!"

"Me too!"

"I watched it too! As expected, Rin-chan is playing that little girl!"

"My mom said Rin acted really well."

"Hmph~! With my acting skills, this is only to be expected." Yuan Lin put his hands on his hips and proudly raised his head, his nose not getting longer.

"Sakura-chan is in it too, right? She acted really well." Hanako said with a raised hand and a smile.

"Thank you, sister is truly amazing," Sakura said shyly.

"Xiao Lin, can you get Dilmud's autograph for me? My mom really likes him, and I think he's very handsome." A girl asked Xiao Lin expectantly, clasping her hands together.

"Well... it's not impossible for me to ask for you. But I'm not very familiar with Mr. Chen from China, so whether I can get it or not depends on luck," Xiao Lin said.

“How could we not get it? Your family is the sponsor, right?” The blonde girl, Hoshina Pegasus Tenma, suddenly interjected.

"What are sponsors?" someone asked, not quite understanding.

"Don't you even understand this? He's just a big shot who pays people who make TV shows!" Hoshina snorted.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Qin Jing remembered that when the program aired, the prominent sponsor, Yuanshi Jewelry, had its four large characters displayed for several seconds.

'Yuan's Jewelry' is a well-known jewelry brand in Asia, offering jewelry made from diamonds, gold, jade, coral, and various other gemstones, with branches all over the world.

They place particular emphasis on publicity, and celebrities and models wearing 'Yuan's Jewelry' can be seen at major film festivals and award ceremonies, making them a conglomerate that has advertised all over the world.

As Hoshina said, Yuan Lin and Yuan Ying are indeed the daughters of the head of the Yuan Group.

"Oh, so Rin, you have this connection! Then get me an autograph too. I want the autograph of that really impressive, golden king! Sure, right? You have some big shots in your family, after all." Sunohara said with a laugh.

"Tenma-kun, are you misunderstanding something?" Rin asked, looking directly at the blonde girl.

"It's nothing, I'm just telling the truth. Some people get roles in TV dramas with the help of their families and then come to school to show off." Hoshina glared back defiantly.

The children around also looked on with suspicion.

"What are you saying! We participated in the preliminary rounds properly and were selected by the director after the competition!" Xiaolin said angrily.

"We didn't cheat!" Sakura was also angry.

This could be considered their dream. They enjoyed acting in previous dramas, so they want to work hard in this area. They don't know exactly how far they want to go, but they just want to gain some recognition. However, they would never do so by cheating.

"There was an election, but whether it was fair or not is hard to say. I've participated in many competitions, and the reason I always won first prize is because I'm a genius, and my strength completely overwhelms others."

"But in acting competitions, there are no authoritative reviews or standards of merit. As long as the acting is passable, it doesn't matter who you choose, right?" Hoshina said, arms crossed.

She just couldn't stand Yuan Lin's "popular" attitude. She was clearly the best student in the class, the best at sports, and the prettiest...very pretty! But no one ever came up to be her friend, and she was always hanging out with Qin Jing... Clearly, no one in the class was worthy of being her friend!

"You!" Even though Xiao Lin always kept her father's teachings in mind and was supposed to be elegant, she couldn't stand it anymore. It was clearly the result of her hard work, but she was being made to look worthless. She had to teach this brat who was talking nonsense a lesson.

Xiao Lin was so angry that she was about to pounce on her and give her a Bajiquan punch.

"Sister, calm down..." Sakura quickly pulled her older sister back.

"Stop arguing..." Qin Jing tried to mediate.

"What?! Even Xiao Jing, you doubt us?" Lin asked Qin Jing angrily.

"No, if everyone thinks the TV series is very interesting and entertaining, then it proves that you acted well," Qin Jing said calmly.

Hearing Qin Jing's words, the other children agreed.

"Yes! I think it's very interesting too!"

"Ah, my family also said that Rin and Sakura acted very well!"

“Ugh…” Hoshina stood there, stunned by her defeat.

"Hoshina-san, I don't think this is the right way to make friends. Arguing like this will only make you annoying." Qin Jing looked at the blonde girl, not wanting her to think this was a lecture from a superior position, and said in a calm tone.

Seemingly not expecting Qin Jing's words to hit a nerve, Xing Nai's eyes welled up with tears.

"What is this?! I didn't lie! Everyone's biased towards Rin! If I wanted to, I could easily be on TV! You just wait! They were staring at me the whole time! And now they're talking to me like that! Shizuka, you idiot! You were only second place! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're cute! Waaaaah!" Hoshina cried and ran out...

"Ah..." Qin Jing's hand froze in mid-air, standing awkwardly in place. His original intention was to comfort the lonely girl who had no other way to cope without hurting her pride. Why did it turn out like this...?

As expected, it's not easy for someone as inarticulate as him to persuade others. He shouldn't have spoken up about things he wasn't good at.

"Ah... Shizuka, you've made the girl cry again. You haven't grown up at all even since starting elementary school," Sunohara said with a sigh, patting Shizuka's shoulder.

"..." Qin Jing frowned, feeling a bit angry.

Shizuka turned around, pulled Chun Yuan aside to a secluded spot, and said, "By the way, Chun Yuan, didn't you want to be the class leader?"

"Yes! What's wrong?" Sunohara asked with a smile.

"I think your performance is not outstanding enough right now, and you don't have the aura of a leader."

"Aura? My mom often says that my dad and I don't have any other redeeming qualities besides being energetic."

"No, I mean the kind of character that makes others follow you, like a protagonist."

"Oh, then what should we do?"

"For example, how about trying to add 'toilet lid' to the end of every sentence you say today?"

"What do you mean? Toilet seat?"

"It's like a catchphrase, like 'Burn, my little universe!' 'There's only one truth!' 'You're still far from it!' If you say these things often, you'll sound impressive and people will remember you. Chun Yuan, you need to work harder to make the toilet seat a part of you, so that people will think of you as soon as they hear the toilet seat!" Qin Jing encouraged him.

"Oh! I see, it's a toilet seat!"

"Yeah, that's really impressive! If you go ask Rin and Sakura for autographs now, they'll definitely agree," Qin Jing continued to encourage them.

"Really? I'll go check! The toilet seat!"

"Make way, boss has something to say, toilet seat!"

The girls who were comforting Rin dispersed, and the people around them looked at Sunohara strangely.

Sunohara felt everyone's gaze. Having been ignored so often lately, this was the first time he'd felt so much attention. Sunohara thought to himself, 'As expected of my best friend! That's a great idea!'

Sunohara walked triumphantly up to Rin and Sakura, shouting even louder, "Toilet seat!!"

"Pfft! Sunohara, you idiot, what are you saying?" Rin, who was originally in a low mood, burst out laughing, and Sakura also covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Of course, you have to promise to get that autograph from Boss Sunohara, the toilet seat!"

"Haha, I know, it's Cthulhu's signature, right?" Rin replied, amused.

"Yay! That's great! I never thought a toilet seat would be this useful! A toilet seat!" Sunohara exclaimed excitedly.

When it was time for class.

The math teacher called on someone to answer a question, saying, "Then, Sunohara, answer this question."

"I don't know! It's the toilet seat!"

"What did you say?" the teacher asked in surprise.

"Didn't say anything! The toilet seat!"

"Are you trying to cause trouble?" the teacher said angrily.

"No..." Sunohara explained, a little frightened, "the toilet seat..."

"Go stand at the door as punishment!!" the teacher roared angrily.

Section 30: Mushrooms and Limited-Edition Steamed Buns

The reason this country has such an advanced entertainment industry is closely related to the previous war.

But at the same time, it is inseparable from the struggles and efforts of some people.

For example, the last emperor in history was chosen by the people, and no one after him was able to fill the position. As a result, Japan abandoned constitutional monarchy and turned to a new society.

But the emperor's achievements cannot be forgotten.

At a pivotal moment in history that would determine the fate of Japan, the country's economy was still recovering from its defeat in World War II. In the 60s, students at Tokyo University occupied lecture halls and staged protests. Because of World War III, the Earth had suddenly become an irregular sphere with two large craters. Japan, having lost its support, was plunged into an unprecedented crisis.

At this time, Emperor Kurosawa appeared out of nowhere, wearing a robe with a sixteen-petaled double chrysanthemum pattern, on the awards stage of the world's three major film festivals, calling for peaceful development, abandoning all sordidness, and using film and love to save Japan.

The name Heguo is derived from Confucius's saying: "In the application of rites, harmony is of utmost importance." As a nation that absolutely upholds harmony, it has developed entertainment culture and the economy, and has become active on the world stage again in modern times.

This is an era in which the entire nation abhors war. In an atmosphere where entertainment reigns supreme, China has developed into one of the world's leading exporters of entertainment culture, with its film and television industry and ACGN industry being the most renowned.

Fox TV, under Emperor Kurosawa's control, has grown into a leading television station.

The last emperor of Japan is now dead, but the legendary screenwriter and producer who collaborated with him at the time is still alive.

It is called a legend because since its debut, it has never shown its face and its gender is unknown. Apart from knowing that its pen name is "Mushroom", the audience and fans know nothing else about it.

What's even more frightening is that decades later, there are still new dramas and movies being promoted under the banner of Mushroom as the screenwriter, novelist, or the latest original work.

Mushroom's works are diverse in style, but they mostly tell stories of surreal magicians, superpowered beings, heroic spirits, demons and monsters appearing in the real world.

Some people believe that 'Mushroom' is not a person, but a team, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the division is so varied.

Some people believe that 'Mushroom' is a name passed down through generations, just like Bian Que, who lived from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period in China, or the name of the Hokage in Japan, which is passed down from generation to generation of master and disciple.

Neither of these claims has been verified. People simply enjoyed the various excellent works it offered as they grew up. Years later, when they came to their senses, they realized that since their grandfathers' generation, they had been growing old while watching the stories written by this mysterious figure, whom they knew nothing about except for his pen name.

Therefore, some fans jokingly call it a 'mushroom monster' that smuggled itself over from the moon.

The Holy Grail War film, sponsored by Yuanshi Jewelry Investment, is based on a work written by Mushroom, making it a sure-fire investment.

In the classroom, Rin and Sakura, having regained their spirits, chatted with everyone about interesting things they saw on set.
