Chapter 12: White Robe Red Shadow

YuGong returns and murmurs, "I'm hurt."

"A guy like you can get hurt from falling on your hurt?" is how MoZhaHim (Don'tHitHim) feels about him.

"I'm hurting inside," YuGong yells passionately. I am referring to the inside.

">o<, you guys are roommates?" said Wei Wei.< p>

From their speech, Wei Wei has surmised that they are real-life friends and that they are fourth-year students, based on what she has observed of them discussing graduation internship work. Wei Wei, on the other hand, seldom asks questions about the real-life experiences of other players since she has never been curious about them, but this time she lets it all out.

"We share the same dorm," said MonkeyWine.

Predictably!

Unconsciously glancing at NaiHe, Wei Wei wonders if the Grand Master is a fellow student at the university like her. Why does it seem unreal? The Great Master ought to be...

>_~

She is unable to consider how he ought to actually be.

YuGong remarks, "Nai is my third sister-in-law."He frequently leaves the house late at night. You ought to watch him closely.

"He also doesn't come home in the morning," said MoZhaHim.

Wei Wei is in complete shock.

Oh no,I will come back immediately when the dorm room is not filled with half a month's worth of your socks," he says in clarification.

Without delay, MoZhaHim responds, saying, "You might as well stay outside."

Wei Wei cannot express her feelings. She's heard tales of guys washing socks together after they've each stitched ten filthy pairs. She finds it hard to imagine these guys are just like this. "Could it be that you guys are in computer science?" she asks inquisitively, recalling that she and the others had just talked about breaking into other people's computers.

"Ha Ha!"

Such a coincidence.

Wei Wei responds, "Me too."

"......"

"So, you're a female junior classmate?"

YuGong Climbs a Mountain: "It's finished. In computer science, the gender ratio is nine to one. Given her resilience and bravery, is it possible that she is a male junior in school?

Wei Wei: ">o<"< p>

A bit ashamed, Wei Wei asks herself, "Am I really so tough? Like I said in my introduction,.

YuGong finds what she said shocking.

YuGong replies, "No, no." It does well. It is undoubtedly awakening the indifferent (to the extent that the deaf are able to see it).

Getting the indifferent people fired up.

Wei Wei feels as though something has been done to her inside; would YuGong's literacy instructor get upset if she learned that he had employed the tactic of "rousing the apathetic" in this manner?

MonkeyWine makes the following suggestion: "It's nice; however, I think the phrase 'leave the man behind' should be changed. How will people be able to tell which of the four males you are kidnapping? There will be confusion among the crowd.

They won't be confused," he declares. It doesn't need to be changed.

MonkeyWine: "...?"

NaiHe: "There's no point in kidnapping you people."

Thus,...

They PK hard once again; this time, it's three against.

Wei Wei just looks up at the sky. Even though she hasn't even abducted anyone yet, the people she is meant to abduct are already at odds with one another.

Nevertheless, the first two days of filming for the video were finished after endless jokes and classmate YuGong laboring despite his injury.

After the kidnapping, Wei Wei crafts the plot as well. Wei Wei steals a lot from TV shows to create an extremely dramatic plot in order to extend the duration of the video.

This is a synopsis of what's below:

The game features a thieves' nest location, so the white-robed musician gets kidnapped and brought back to the mountain stockade. The family thief finds him attractive and sophisticated, and she goes to great lengths to try and win his approval. She doesn't affect the white-robed musician, who remains silent every day and just plays his guqin pathetically near the lotus pond at the foot of the mountain.

Finally, the female thief decides to let him go, but she follows him in secret since she can't bear to watch him go. On his route, the white-robed musician runs into a monster; realizing he is going to die, the female thief leaps out to save him. After being moved by it, the musician welcomes the female thief. Happily ever after, YuGong and the others screamed outside the thieves' nest that he will educate new gamers, which caused a number of newcomers to turn there and become free extras. However, on the night of their wedding, imperial guards arrive at their door and take custody of them. The musician is engaged in combat by the thieves, who are NPCs with just a level 20 starting from the thieves' nest; the musician swiftly takes a sword from his guqin and stabs the female thief in the heart from behind as the other thief steps in front of her, shielding her.

The musician turns out to be an emissary of the imperial court. The fact that the criminals live in a complicated environment that makes it difficult to eradicate them has given them a significant edge. The musician then goes undercover.

The dramatic plot's core is revealed in the resolution.

Once the female thief passes away, the white-robed musician leaps from Sunset Summit's cliff, embracing the lifeless body of his fallen love.

Let's see.

Okay, so Wei Wei acknowledges her naughty behavior >o<.< p>

Wei Wei had assumed that everyone would criticize the script, but after reading it, everyone felt that it wasn't that horrible. But as she gives it further thought, Great Master NaiSince he doesn't have many lines, he presumably believes it's not that horrible.

YuGong and the others are probably happy since they didn't anticipate that they would get a second scene toward the finish and that they would play protagonist roles.

Once more, Wei Wei is left dumbfounded; students majoring in computer science genuinely lack aesthetic sensibilities.

But during post-production, when NaiHe delivers Wei Wei the finished video, she deeply regrets and retracts her judgment of them for lacking "artistic senses."

She, YuGong, and the others lack artistic sensibility; the Great Master is most definitely not among them!

Oh, Great Master, you are capable of mastering anything!

Wei Wei had night courses on the day she receives the video, so when she returns to the dorm room and logs on, NaiHe has already gone offline. He sends her a message.

Something has surfaced. I must immediately disconnect. I've delivered the video to your email.

Wei Wei quickly opens her inbox.

Post-production video production encompasses several aspects like as editing, music, subtitles, and aesthetics. Wei Wei first considered completing it herself through trial and error, reasoning that since she is a second-year student rather than a fourth-year one, she likely has more spare time. However, Great Master NaiHe promised to fulfill his promise. Wei Wei consented to it since she never questions the Great Master.

The download time for the video is more than 10 minutes. Wei Wei opens it nervously and, even after only a few moments of seeing, she's shocked.

It is really exquisitely made.

You might argue that it's basic—red text on a black background—but NaiHe managed to locate an excellent typeset for the words, giving it a magnificent, strong, and unconstrained appearance. It's a simple yet stunning opening, with the words vividly produced stroke by stroke and a lighting effect that hits over the text.

Before moving on, Wei Wei watches the opening a few times more.

The Great Master clearly put a lot of work on it. The music, editing, and subtitles all work well together in the video, especially the music, which surprised Wei Wei because the Great Master uses music played on traditional folk instruments instead of pop music. The abduction begins with a light-tempo flute piece, and the remaining scenes mostly feature music played on a guzheng, which goes well with the image of the white-robed musician.

This sound of flowing water had to be the guzheng, mmm. Wei Wei had little experience with musical instruments; in middle school, she would spend much of her time in music courses working covertly on her assignments. Currently, this is the first time she is dedicating her attention to listening to music like this.

Wei Wei just relaxes and takes in the music because there's nothing to find fault with.

Wei Wei watches the video cheerfully despite the tragic tale (? ); this is presumably because she had fun when creating the plot and they laughed a lot during recording. But the guzheng melody makes a terrible sound as the scene with the white-robed musician drawing his sword appears. The music stops at the note of the guzheng, just as the blade stabs into the female thief's heart in the back.

Wei Wei's heart hurts so much.

Wei Wei is still overcome with grief as the tale abruptly adjustments.

The film abruptly shows the white-robed musician and General Qing Shan (played by classmate YuGong) standing together in front of a grave and silently staring at it. The following scene should show the white-robed musician hugging the female thief and plunging over the cliff at Sunset Summit.

"You didn't have to kill her," declares General Qing Shan.

After a while, the musician in white robes breaks his silence and declares, "It's better for her to die than to let her live and hate me."

Wei Wei seems surprised.

She notices right once that the white-robed musician is not the same person she knew in her script.

He's turned into an unknown person, a cloud separating him from her.

In a little home at the base of the mountain, the musician dressed in white robes leads a calm life by himself. At the foot of Sunset Summit, Wei Wei realizes that it is a no-man's land. There are a few groups of jade green bamboo surrounding the little cottage. The musician in white robes spends the entire day sitting in the bamboo grove and plays the guqin softly. He only gets up to walk to Sunset Summit, where he stands calmly and observes the setting sun.

It's General Qing Shan once again.

"Why live in isolation at an abandoned place like this when you've done such a great service and have access to hereditary peerage, or the rise to nobility status, at your disposal?"

The musician wearing a white robe doesn't respond. He keeps on playing the guqin as his spirit pet, a happy cat, runs all about him.

Ripple effects cause the scene to shift. The musician, wearing white robes, is seen caressing his guqin while the female thief sits next to him. The scene looks to be a fuzzy remembrance of the pond beyond the mountain. Right now, Wei Wei hears her voice.

Oh noThe day before, he urged her to videotape this, claiming he could utilize it. The conversation is for the highly emotional scene where the female thief lets the musician go. Wei Wei was so ashamed while she was speaking them that she hastily taped them and mailed them to him. She did not anticipate using it.

Her speech sounds muffled, distant, and hollow, as though a sound filter is being utilized.

"I was born to be a thief since my dad and granddad were thieves. I don't know what else I can be except a thief. Other than the occupants of this mountain stockade, I know nothing else.

"I have never killed anyone, but you hate me so much." I couldn't possibly be the worst, can I? However, I suppose I'm still not that good.

In addition, I'd want to live a tranquil life, labor from sunrise to sunset, and raise small ducklings and chicks like the girls at the foot of the mountain. However, it is only a dream. It will never materialize.

Move on. You can leave now.

General Qing Shan returns to the scene and asks, "You have a great future, so why waste your life in this abandoned town?"

"This is my dream as well," a clear, quiet voice replies.

The entire video has subtitles; the voiceovers are limited to the last few lines, which appear and disappear like thunder and lightning, respectively. The guzheng plays again, this time in a melancholy tone before it fades away.

The final shot shows the white-robed musician relaxing at the edge of the pond beside the red-clad female robber. The vision progressively fades into black and white, with the musician on the guqin and the female thief dancing with her sword, radiating delight.

There is a pause in the scenario.

The wind is still causing the musician's white robe sleeves to swing.

However, the face of the female burglar wearing red clothing has already become pale.

It moves Wei Wei's heart, causing her eyes to suddenly well up with tears.
