Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 521: Chapter 519: Strong Start but Weak Finish? [First Update]

The intense shock from the extreme motion to the extreme stillness made everyone’s heart skip a beat!

What is this extreme change like?

It’s like bungee jumping, when you leap from above, your speed getting faster and faster.

And when is the feeling of impact the strongest?!

It’s the moment when the bungee cord is pulled taut, when your body stops instantly, as if your heart is about to jump out of your throat, that’s when the impact is strongest!

And now, this performance has given them that exact feeling!

This intense impact made the image before their eyes crash into their brains in an instant, imprinting itself there!

”Awesome! I can’t think of any other word but this to describe it!”

”Convinced! Truly convinced!!”

”This move from the pinnacle of activity to the pinnacle of stillness is really awesome!”

”No, the most difficult part isn’t this method of performance, but the feeling of holding it. It’s not about the physical pause, but that pause in expression, as if time itself has really stopped!”

”Yeah, look at their expressions, I feel like I can still see the seething and boiling murderous intent, the archers look like they might shoot at any second! And those holding knives to others’ necks, it’s like the blood might gush out the next second!”

”So awesome! Remember the last college league? That was shocking enough, but this is even more astounding!”

”I really want to touch these people, but at the same time, I’m a little scared!”

”...”

It wasn’t just buzzing with discussions, but the sound of taking photos was incessant!

Countless media people were excitedly documenting it all!

Lu Xiaobu is indeed still Lu Xiaobu, with his unpredictably imaginative and exhilarating approach!

Countless foreigners were also in awe!

”Oh my god! This is really amazing! This is not just simple cosplay, it’s an art form!”

”That’s right, it’s an art, a form of performance art, it’s just fantastic!”

”People of the Heavenly Dynasty are so strong, they managed to rehearse this!”

”Yes, wearing such heavy armor in this hot weather, yet able to maintain it for such a long time is not easy!”

”That’s right, that’s right, the performance artists we’ve seen before are usually alone and choose positions that make themselves more comfortable. But now! This is a reenactment of the battlefield, each movement is for fighting, killing the enemy, or dodging, and these movements are not comfortable!”

”The Heavenly Dynasty is indeed a magical country, is this also the power of Qi?!”

”...”

While they were discussing, those troublemakers from Korea were also let in by the police comrades.

The performance was over, so the impact was not as intense, it was acceptable to let them in!

However, the faces of these Koreans were looking very ugly, turning shades of blue and green!

There was shame, disgrace, embarrassment, and even more so, anger!

They did not expect their perfect plan to be thwarted this way, they didn’t get the apology they wanted, but instead were scared out of their wits by the people of the Heavenly Dynasty!

Every Korean at the scene was roaring in their hearts!

Damn, damn, damn!

Such an embarrassment!

Humiliated in front of the whole world!!!

Lu Xiaobu, you bastard! We’re irreconcilable!

This is the weakness of human nature, remember the term mentioned in the previous Chapters—confirmation bias?!

This is also a kind of confirmation bias!

They actively, subconsciously chose to shift the blame to someone else because they didn’t want to admit that they were at fault, that it was their mistake!

And at this moment!

”Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a sound transmitted from their faces.

The sound of wheels!

This stupefied everyone!

Wheels?!

What do we need wheels for at this time?!

But soon, they understood!

Because two barriers were pulled out from both sides at the same time.

Just like those curtain-like barriers, you guys should know what I’m talking about!

There’s one on each side, using them both front and back!

Very quickly, the over ten thousand people in the performance aisle were covered up tightly!

No one could see what was happening inside.

”What’s going on here?!”

”Yeah, why are they blocking it off?!”

”I haven’t taken any photos yet!”

”I did take a couple; I’ll send them to you!”

”Maybe the actors are tired. After all, maintaining those poses really is exhausting!”

”Yeah, everyone should be more understanding!”

”...”

Most people were still expressing understanding.

However, those pissed off Koreans didn’t care one bit!

”Pfft! All bark and no bite!”

”So embarrassing! Is this the performance you prepared, with not even a follow-up!?”

”Is this some sort of sad exit?!”

”...”

Their voices weren’t loud, and they quickly fell silent!

Because many friends had come to their side.

”Let’s go, shall we chat?! I ’love’ you Koreans the most!”

These brash Koreans were ’warmly’ escorted away by two or three muscular men to another place!

I guess it was probably to have a chat, but maybe to also discuss life’s aspirations!

The barrier probably covered everything up for about twenty minutes. Inside, there were occasional faint noises, and it was unclear what was going on.

”Swoosh!”

The barrier was opened.

But people suddenly found that the ten thousand people inside were still those same ten thousand people.

There were no changes in their expressions or poses.

”Eh? What’s going on here?! Weren’t they supposed to exit?!”

”Yeah, were the barriers pulled up just for a rest?! That’s not okay! This is just a Band-Aid solution, useless!”

”Young Master Bu, we’ve had our fun. Let’s give everyone a break!”

”Yeah, don’t overdo it!”

”Hey, buddy, tired, huh? Want some water?! I’ll get you a bottle!”

”...”

However, no matter what they said, the people in the middle remained motionless.

Finally, someone realized it!

”That’s not right!” A middle-aged man exclaimed, his pupils dilating as he pointed to the center of the area, ”Those aren’t the same people as before! To be precise, what’s in front of us now aren’t humans at all!”

Upon hearing this, the people nearby rolled their eyes: ”Hehehe, what are you talking about! Such a grown man, can’t you speak properly!”

”Sorry, sorry, I didn’t express myself clearly, I meant to say that these aren’t the same actors as before, what we’re seeing now are all wax figures! Hundred percent lifelike wax figures!” The middle-aged man quickly corrected himself!

”What!? Wax figures!?”

This made everyone else pause in surprise!

”Did they switch to wax figures?! But I still feel like they are real people!”

”No, look closely, they really don’t seem like real people! They’re not breathing!”

”Oh my gosh! It’s true!”

”I didn’t even realize it just now and stupidly ran to bring them water!”

”Damn! 66666! Young Master Bu, you’ve played the world once again!”

”...”
