My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 206: Chapter 160: The Return of the Condor Heroes Movie, a Filming Location for the Ancient Tomb Sect? It’s Just a Bare-bones Shelter

Hearing Li Xiang’s words, Luo Feifei picked up the fiery red Little Fox, growing even fonder of it. ’This one is Spiritual too,’ she thought. ’It knows how to latch onto someone important, just like me.’

She immediately giggled and said, ”You don’t have to give it to me. Let it stay free. If I miss it in the future, I can just come back and visit. Oh, this little thing feels so nice to hold, and it’s so cute. I can’t bear to put it down.”

If Zhao Xueqing had said this, Yao Yao would have definitely pursed her lips and grumbled to herself, ’This scheming girl really knows how to act. She’s just making an excuse to get close to Brother Xiang in the future. A classic green tea move.’

But coming from the ethereal Luo Feifei, Yao Yao found the words incredibly sincere. ’Luo Feifei must really like this fox,’ she thought, ’and she’ll come back to see it again. If she really does come, that would be wonderful. Wouldn’t every visit bring a wave of online traffic?’

Little did she know, Luo Feifei was also laying the groundwork to visit Li Xiang here in the future. The reason no one suspected this was twofold. First, she was so beautiful and famous that no one would believe she’d deliberately stoop to get close to any man, let alone someone like Li Xiang, who wasn’t considered in her league. Second, her acting skills were superb, and her ”tea art” was a level above Zhao Xueqing’s. Her manipulative words sounded so natural that they were completely undetectable.

After a tour of the backyard, Luo Feifei even picked up a Drum Stick and beat the Big Red Bullhide War Drum a few times. Naturally, this resulted in many beautiful photos.

”Is the construction site next door your tourist attraction?” Luo Feifei asked.

”Yes, it is. We just started not long ago. The rough framework isn’t even finished yet.”

Luo Feifei’s eyes lit up. ”Can I go take a look?”

Luo Feifei’s mother said, ”It’s too dirty. There will be dust everywhere. We probably shouldn’t go.”

Luo Feifei smiled. ”It’s a hundred-million-yuan investment. How can I not go and see it?”

Li Xiang hadn’t wanted her to go either, but on second thought, it made sense. She was going to be the second-largest shareholder, after all, making a huge investment of a hundred million. How could he justify not showing her the site? Her request was perfectly reasonable. So he said, ”Alright, let’s go take a look. Once it’s built, we’ll cut a Moon Gate into my backyard wall, but for now, we have to go around through the front.”

Luo Feifei was full of enthusiasm and didn’t mind the trouble at all. The group passed through the main house and returned to the front.

The backyard actually had a side gate, mainly used for transporting supplies, but it would have been rude to have a guest use it.

Outside the gate, a crowd of onlookers was craning their necks. When they saw Luo Feifei emerge, many raised their phones. Some streamers who were live immediately shouted to their fans, ”Everyone, pay attention! Luo Feifei is out! It looks like her visit is over, and she’s about to head home—”

Before he could finish, Luo Feifei, led by Li Xiang and the others, with bodyguards clearing the way, started walking west—even though they had arrived from the east end of the village.

Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, word came from those closer to the front: Luo Feifei wasn’t leaving. She was going to inspect the construction site next door. The crowd immediately erupted.

A Little Celestial Immortal like Luo Feifei, a fairy so spotless and pure she seemed otherworldly, was going to a construction site? Oh my god... This... this... Can you even imagine?

The contrast was just too stark, too illogical! What kind of pampered little princess goes to a place like that?

But then they remembered the news about Luo Feifei investing a hundred million in Li Xiang’s company, and it started to make sense again.

”So Luo Feifei wasn’t just kidding around? It wasn’t purely to thank Li Xiang, she’s actually investing?”

Many were shocked as they came to this realization. Otherwise, why would she insist on going to see it?

Naturally, everyone followed, but the construction site couldn’t possibly let so many people in. So, just like before, the crowd could only wait outside.

As the news spread, many people who weren’t there were also stunned.

...

When Luo Feifei and her mother put on hard hats and safety boots and followed Li Xiang onto the construction site, the site itself went into an uproar.

”What? A huge superstar is here for an inspection? And it’s the famous Little Celestial Immortal? Brother Xiang is the man!”

All the workers who could stop what they were doing did so, gathering to watch and forming a welcome line. The construction site manager personally led the reception, while those who couldn’t stop their work could only look on with envy.

When the workers heard Li Xiang announce that the Little Celestial Immortal, Luo Feifei, was about to invest and become the second-largest shareholder, the site erupted with even more excitement.

”We’re working for the Little Celestial Immortal? Oh my god, I feel so blessed!”

”I never would have thought a project in the middle of nowhere like this would get a visit from a Celestial Immortal—and she’s investing! I feel like I’m dreaming today!”

It had to be said, with Luo Feifei’s visit, the exhausted workers were suddenly pumped full of adrenaline, all of them completely re-energized.

”That girl is so beautiful,” one worker sighed. ”If I could have a girlfriend that beautiful even in my dreams, I could die happy.”

The person next to him cursed, ”Look at you, so pathetic. You can’t even dream big? I’m different. When I dream, I dream of ten of them!”

The construction site was, of course, a mess. The paths were uneven, piles of dirt were scattered everywhere, and sometimes they had to climb over small mounds of earth. Luckily, it hadn’t rained.

Neither Luo Feifei nor her mother was wearing high heels; they both had on sneakers.

Luo Feifei inspected everything very carefully, asking Li Xiang questions from time to time. He explained what each area was for and outlined future development plans. He also formally introduced Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing as the managers of the National Style Tavern and the National Tea House, respectively.

The two women felt honored.

Luo Feifei expressed her confidence in them and offered her support.

They walked from the front of the site all the way to the back, where they saw the construction area for the mountainside Shelter.

”Brother Xiang, is that the mountainside Shelter attraction up ahead? Can we go inside now?”

”Of course, but we can’t go too deep, because they’re still excavating inside. The last time I was here, it was about halfway done. I estimate it’s probably three-quarters of the way now.”

”Then let’s go in and see,” Luo Feifei said.

”Huh?” Everyone was surprised. It was just a cave, with no renovations done. What was there to see?

Luo Feifei’s mother, in particular, was not happy about it and didn’t want to indulge her daughter’s whims any further.

Luo Feifei said, ”Why don’t you wait for me outside, Mom? Everyone can wait out here. Just Brother Xiang and I will go in for a look.”

Yao Yao said, ”If you’re going, I want to go see it too.”

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui also nodded repeatedly. ’If Luo Feifei can go in, we can’t look like we’re falling behind,’ they thought. ’Otherwise, Li Xiang might think we can’t handle a little hardship, and that would be bad.’

So, led by the construction manager and a few technicians, Li Xiang, Luo Feifei, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and two bodyguards entered the cave.

Li Xiang’s grandmother, naturally, didn’t come along. The construction site was far away and difficult to walk through. The old woman was at home, chatting with some villagers and showing off her new silk scarf and bracelet, telling them they were a very expensive gift from the big star.

Luo Feifei’s mother and the other two bodyguards remained outside the cave to wait. The rest of the bodyguards were stationed at the main entrance of the construction site, helping security maintain order and prevent anyone from forcing their way in.

”This is pretty nice, Brother Xiang. Can we turn off these lights?” Luo Feifei asked, pointing to the lights on the cave ceiling.

The construction site manager replied, ”We can, but we have regulations that the lighting must meet a certain brightness and lumen level. Turning them off could create some safety hazards.”

Luo Feifei looked around and explained, ”It won’t be for long, just a minute or two. I want to see what the visual effect is like in here with the lights off.”

Everyone was very curious, wondering what she was up to.

Luo Feifei could only smile and explain further. ”Here’s the thing. On my upcoming schedule, I have a film with a major director. It’s a story everyone is familiar with, *The Return of the Condor Heroes*. But a few days ago, the director told me they still haven’t found a good filming location for the Ancient Tomb Sect. They haven’t been able to pick a satisfactory spot. I think this cave here is quite good—it’s winding, and the space is large. I want to turn off the lights to see how it looks. If it’s good, I can recommend it to the director.”

Whoa. The moment she said that, everyone was stunned.

What the hell? The Ancient Tomb Sect? A movie version of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*? Filmed here?

The construction manager was also thrilled. If their site was chosen by a major director, they would have a ”masterpiece” on their hands. It would be a source of major bragging rights in the future. ’Look how awesome the cave we dug is! Even a huge star and a famous director think it’s good enough for them.’

Li Xiang was also a bit dumbfounded. ’This could work?’ he thought. ’This is just the rough shell of the mountainside Shelter. I never once considered developing it for a movie when we were digging it.’ However, if it was really chosen, and a blockbuster movie was filmed here, the attraction’s fame would skyrocket. Business would definitely be good.

Having Luo Feifei as the second-largest shareholder really did have its perks. Just this free endorsement alone was worth a fortune.

’The number two boss giving the company an endorsement, finding opportunities to promote it, maybe dropping a mention or two at a press conference... that’s not asking too much, right?’

And she only wanted 20% of the shares. Suddenly, Li Xiang felt like he had hit the jackpot!

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and the others, besides being surprised, also realized this and became incredibly excited. With a traffic magnet like Luo Feifei on board, they would all gain followers in the future.

Luo Feifei naturally had this kind of influence. She was a top-tier actress, a leading lady, and an investor who often put her own money into her projects. She was also seen as a ”transcendent master”; film crews often invited her to perform a Divination before shooting began to see if filming would go smoothly and if the box office would be a success. Of course, people listened when she spoke.

It was worth noting that Luo Feifei’s recent high-altitude fall into the water hadn’t been a disaster for her reputation as a Divination expert.

Because the director of *Celestial Flying Immortal* was currently full of regret. Why hadn’t he asked Luo Feifei to perform a Divination back then? So what if it cost a little money? Was the production team too poor to afford it? It would have been so much better to start filming on an auspicious day.

Fortunately, it was a scare but nothing more, and Luo Feifei wasn’t injured.
