CHAPTER 875: CHAPTER 525: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE (PART 2)

A director was communicating with Ji Xinghuo.

"Mr. Ji, to present your personal image to a global audience, we’ve chosen the most direct filming approach. The first half-minute is your self-introduction..."

"During this process, you should exude confidence but not be too sharp, so the audience doesn’t feel you’re too arrogant."

"...Emphasize that you are a public child."

"Briefly review your background, becoming a Mutant only after graduating from university. Your inspirational story of late success can touch people’s hearts the most..."

"Speak softly yet powerfully, with a steadfast gaze that isn’t too piercing."

"In the latter part, shift the topic to South Asia, highlighting the evidence of the crimes of the Brahma King and the Elephant Master, and discuss our nation’s response strategies."

"...Starting from a global perspective, Earth’s positioning and threat in the Star Realm require all of humanity to unite to combat future crises."

"Then, your personal hopes for future peace..."

The script was written last night, and after Ji Xinghuo read it, he felt the charm of journalism.

He had no objections to the vast majority of the content.

Only on one point, regarding Earth’s situation in the Star Realm, as someone who has traversed the Star Realm for years, Ji Xinghuo knew more than the average person, pointing out two errors in the script, and added some insights about the True Dragon Dynasty.

"Mr. Ji is knowledgeable and admirable," the director flattered appropriately.

Ji Xinghuo chuckled.

As he communicated with the director, the image designer had been watching from the side, observing from various angles.

Finally, this woman in her forties, still full of charm, showed amazement on her face.

Lv Qingzhou asked, "How is it?"

"Mr. Ji has a great image!"

The image designer, as if admiring a perfect art piece, shook her head in admiration, "Each of his features individually may not be the best, but together they are very handsome, with super high recognition, a tall and well-proportioned figure, perfectly coordinated proportions, overall appearance is impeccable, more dazzling than top male models. And there’s a unique dominant aura about him, making it clear at a glance that he’s no ordinary person, yet he also gives off a very approachable and safe feeling that no woman can resist such a man, no wonder Sword Immortal..."

Her words abruptly stopped.

The room went silent, afraid of angering Ji Xinghuo, Lv Qingzhou gave her a glare, intimidating without being angry.

"No wonder what?" Ji Xinghuo asked with a smile.

Of course, he wouldn’t get angry over such things; others were complimenting his looks, even if he didn’t know if there was flattery involved.

"Uh..." The image designer bravely replied, "No wonder the Sword Immortal picked you at first sight for a relationship."

This was something Ji Xinghuo himself had said before.

"Thank you."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Lv Qingzhou, seeing that he wasn’t angry, also breathed a sigh of relief, complimenting, "Mr. Ji and the Sword Immortal are a couple of deities, making us all envious."

"Mm."

Ji Xinghuo responded with a nod, not saying more.

Suddenly, he felt it was meaningless; every move he made, every word spoken, even a change in expression, elicited strong reactions from others, some worrying, some over-analyzing, continuously interpreting.

In reality, this is power!

The difference is, it’s not a power from politics or organization, but a power acquired through his own strength.

Generally, people might get lost, but Ji Xinghuo was very clear-headed, knowing strength is fundamental.

The professional team was efficient.

It only took half a day for Ji Xinghuo to complete the filming.

During the filming, he did exactly as the team required; though it was his first time facing the global public with no prior experience, to him, it was a small scene, almost all done in one take.

This amazed the entire team, thinking Ji Xinghuo was a born actor, the best leading man.

However, Ji Xinghuo didn’t need to pretend at all.

He simply displayed his usual state naturally.

That evening.

Ji Xinghuo received the edited video, a short three-minute clip, not long, but with excellent production, rich content, capable of drawing viewers to watch it whole and leaving a deep impression.

The leader had personally watched it, asking, "Xinghuo, what do you think?"

"No problem."

"Then let’s schedule the release for 8:20 pm," Ji Daosheng looked at the time, "That’s the peak time for online traffic every day."

Ji Xinghuo uploaded the video to his social media account, setting it for scheduled release.

Then gave authorization for this video’s portrait rights.

As previously agreed, after the video was released, he immediately lifted the online privacy protection, fully publicizing his authorization, nullifying the mosaic and "randomized generic face" from all previously captured photos and videos of himself.

Anyone on Earth could send, share, or forward his photos and videos.

After doing all this, Ji Xinghuo looked out the window.

At the moment, he sat on the sofa at Zhao Manying’s home in Weiyang Building, Chang’an’s night view was dreamy and stunning.

Zhao Manying nestled in his arms, playing with Qing Hong nearby.

She watched Ji Xinghuo’s actions the entire time, saying, "From now on, you’ll be the most famous human on Earth. The whole world probably won’t find many who don’t recognize you, letting you also experience the troubles of fame."

"Hehe..."

Ji Xinghuo chuckled, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed."

As he spoke, his facial features began to change, his body adjusted, turning into a completely unfamiliar man within seconds.

Zhao Manying was momentarily stunned, instinctively sitting up from Ji Xinghuo’s arms.

Although she knew it was still Ji Xinghuo, she had never been this close to another man in her life, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Change back quickly!" Zhao Manying coquettishly complained.

But Ji Xinghuo didn’t immediately cancel the Deception Mask’s change function, showing a peculiar smile, leaning in to ask, "Want to experience what it feels like?"

"No!"

Zhao Manying was so scared she quickly pushed him away.

"Hahaha..." Ji Xinghuo laughed loudly, having been just joking, not really intending to do it.

The two playfully tangled together, soon meeting openly and engaging deeply.

In the midst of their enjoyment, Zhao Manying suddenly said, "It’s time."

"What?"

Ji Xinghuo turned his head, realizing it was the scheduled release time for the video, "Ignore that, let’s focus on this."

"No, I want to see everyone’s reaction," Zhao Manying, with silky eyes, bit her lip and projected the screen into the living room midair, enlarging it, then opened the social platform to enter Ji Xinghuo’s account page.

Ji Xinghuo had seen it many times, continuing to focus intently.

The screen played the video.

In the footage, Ji Xinghuo sat behind an office desk, with a transparent and bright floor-to-ceiling window behind him, displaying the spectacular view of Chang’an, with the flags of the Asia-Pacific Community and the flag representing human unity standing on either side.

"Hello everyone!"

"I’m Ji Xinghuo."

"You might have heard my name, or maybe some of you don’t know much about me. In this special time, please allow me to introduce myself. I was born in 2201, a public child..."

In the video, Ji Xinghuo was natural and sincere, relaxed and at ease, speaking to the camera, introducing his background and experience.

Before the 3-minute video ended, the view count had already exceeded one billion, with the numbers at the bottom rising crazily.

Forwards and comments increased at a rate of hundreds of thousands per second.

Instantly, this video became global headlines.

At this moment, anyone on Earth who was still awake and could get online had almost all seen this video.

"So this is what Ji Xinghuo looks like!"

"So handsome!"

This was people’s first reaction to the video. As the video played on, everyone carefully listened to every word Ji Xinghuo spoke, until the video ended, sparking an even bigger frenzy worldwide, setting public opinion ablaze.

However, besides Zhao Manying, no one knew that Ji Xinghuo wasn’t at all concerned with external reactions.

At this time, he only wanted to reach ecstasy with Zhao Manying.
