Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

On stage, the magician, dressed in a tuxedo, spread his arms wide and proudly displayed his hands to the audience:

”As a magician, what I’m most proud of is actually my hands!”

In front of a close-up, high-definition camera, the magician flicked his wrist, and a deck of red playing cards with a festive background appeared in his palm.

”When I need it, all miracles can happen to me—”

The magician smiled slightly at the camera, and a pair of cards with the Fuwa mascots on them appeared before the audience.

”And when I need this miracle to get more applause, I usually blow on it.”

He crumpled the two cards in his palm, then gently lowered his head and blew softly into his clenched fist—

The next moment, he quickly raised his hand and tossed it into the air. The two playing cards that had just been printed with Fuwa mascots flew away instantly and transformed into two white doves with bright red scarves around their necks, spreading their wings and soaring into the sky.

”So, if more applause comes, then I need more miracles—”

With a suggestive clapping gesture, the audience responded with enthusiastic applause, and the magician surprisingly threw out all the remaining playing cards in his hand once again!

In an instant, the entire deck of cards flew through the air with his force, and as the silver light above pierced through the patterns on the cards, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and all the cards that had been thrown out seemed to melt away like ice and snow, instantly transforming into hundreds and thousands of colorful butterflies that danced gracefully in the air!

Moreover, the remaining playing card fragments, like ribbons, along with the scattered starlight and glitter, drifted and fluttered among the butterflies, carrying a dreamlike beauty that firmly captured everyone’s attention.

Then, the swarm of butterflies, bathed in the dazzling lights, spread out in all directions, carried by the airflow on the stage.

After a moment of silence, a thunderous applause erupted.

—Ge Fu truly lives up to his reputation as a magician who excels at grand performances and eye-catching shows; his entrance was a bombshell!

Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes and look up in the direction the butterflies flew, trying to discern whether the swarms of butterflies were real or fake.

As they looked up, a young man walked onto the stage—

To be honest, the most troublesome part of choosing to incorporate the robotic arm into the magic performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage was figuring out how to integrate it into the performance.

Xiao He and his team originally wanted to collaborate with the robot company next door to see if they could disassemble the robotic arm and attach it to the robot to create a complete humanoid form.

However, the current research direction of this robotic arm is not quite the same as that of the robot’s own arm. It looks very abrupt and strange when installed on the robot. After looking at it for a while, it also has a bit of the uncanny valley effect.

Due to time constraints, they couldn’t urgently modify the robot’s overall shape, so they had to regretfully abandon the idea in the end.

In the end, after much back and forth, Xiao He took on the responsibility and personally modified the mechanical arm, turning it into a mechanical exoskeleton resembling a mecha.

To be honest, it wasn’t until this moment that Xiao He suddenly understood why the prototypes of many foreign mecha designs were based on the Beetle.

Because the elytra on the back of this beetle are a perfect fit for the structure of a mecha’s back!

This piece is designed to fit the back of the body, conforming directly to the shape of the back bones. It closes and retracts when not in use, and unfolds to the sides when in use. It is easy to install on the body and can be carried on stage without looking out of place. It also adds a high-tech mecha feel and weakens the non-human feel of [N O V E L I G H T] a single mechanical arm, thus bringing a more sophisticated visual effect to the audience.

Paired with Xiao He’s futuristic black combat suit, this look is incredibly cool. It not only embodies humanity’s advanced imagination of future technological warriors, but also strangely evokes the feeling of a mechanical assassin taking the stage in ”Time and Space Standoff”.

To be honest, this publicity campaign is too hardcore and too blatant.

Initially, the directors and the overall manager frowned and were not approving of the character’s elaborate and suggestive image. However, after communicating with his superiors, Zhang Qi surprisingly did not criticize Xiao He’s costume and instead turned a blind eye, allowing them to pass the audition directly.

Everyone else was shocked.

They couldn’t understand why Director Zhang Qi, who was always critical and had many complaints, would tacitly allow Xiao He to use this platform to promote his character and works.

This is just too much favoritism!

However, when they saw Xiao He on stage, they had to admit that Xiao He’s character was indeed very eye-catching, and the ratings would definitely be high, and he also had the demeanor of a great power.

—Because those past designs were just designs and special effects from foreign science fiction works, and they didn’t actually exist.

Even now, the most famous designs are derived from foreign tokusatsu films, not from their domestic production.

But things are different now.

Others are just wearing costumes and using props.

What they possess is real mechanical technology and a real AI-assisted micro-operation system!

In the future, in China—these ideas will no longer be just ideas!

-

The performance shifted dramatically after Xiao He stepped onto the stage, taking a turn towards a science fiction theme that no one else had ever imagined.

As the machinery behind Xiao He slowly unfolded, proving itself to be a real machine rather than a simple prop, there were more genuine gasps from the audience. Those who had been sitting upright in the audience seats all craned their necks to look, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity, trying to get closer to the stage and find any possibility that it was just a stage effect.

However, they were destined to find no trace of any special effects.

Because it truly exists—

The mechanical joints unfolded layer by layer, the dark metal shell gleaming with a cool, delicate matte finish. As the neural sensing system connected to the body, the joint patterns hidden in the gaps gradually lit up with a cool blue glow, as if invisible cyber life was flowing along the mechanical skeleton, until the entire mechanical arm smoothly opened completely—its calm yet extremely gorgeous technological mechanical appearance deeply shocked everyone present at that moment.

This transformation is different from that of foreign superheroes; it is more low-key, understated, and ordinary.

But it was precisely because it happened right before our eyes that the scene was even more breathtaking than a superhero transformation on the big screen.

Especially what followed, as everyone watched in astonishment, the young man on stage unfolded two decks of cards, then raised his hands and displayed them in a fancy display, while the robotic arm behind him deftly snatched the other deck from his hands. Then, in sync with the young man’s display of the cards, the robotic arm accurately extended its mechanical fingers, passed in front of the young man, and quickly stacked the deck of cards on the table!

At this moment, he was operating both a pair of robotic hands and a pair of human hands, yet the movements were so smooth, flexible, and perfectly coordinated, as if he had simply gained an extra pair of his own hands, which he could control to do anything at will!

Almost in the blink of an eye, a small, stable mountain of playing cards, as solid as a pyramid, appeared before everyone!

Everyone sat up straight and opened their eyes wide.

—What would take an ordinary person a long time to build, he was able to complete in the blink of an eye with the help of machinery?

Is it true or false?

The stage effects are way too futuristic!

It’s hard to believe!

While everyone was still wondering if there was something fishy about the deck of cards, the young man looked up, as if sensing something, and smiled at the camera.

The next moment, a human hand gently touched the top of the pyramid—

The light, floating mountain of playing cards suddenly collapsed!

—Together with people’s reason.

The scene erupted in uproar.
