Zhuge Qing took a deep breath.
Lin Xu’s logic was impeccable, his reasons perfect; he couldn’t find any fault with them.
Since that was the case, Zhuge Qing couldn’t be bothered to care anymore. He no longer wanted to delve into whether Lin Xu knew about the existence of Yiren.
Anyway, when the film was made, if Na Du Tong investigated, it wouldn't be his problem.
Lin Xu looked at Zhuge Qing, who was silently browsing the script, and suddenly felt a wave of boredom.
Why had he gone quiet? He still wanted to see the reactions of these Yiren.
Seeing this, Lin Xu feigned annoyance and spoke to Zhuge Qing and the others.
“Some parts of the under one person’s setting are still incomplete. In the setting, the protagonist’s grandfather is sworn brothers with a Demonic Path fiend, and this Demonic Path is an evil School that has existed for many years and is reviled by everyone in the Yiren Jie (World of Superhumans). But I still don’t know what to call this School.”
At this point, Lin Xu suddenly looked at Zhuge Bai, who was quietly listening to them speak.
“Xiao Bai, which is the most evil School in the Yiren Jie (World of Superhumans)?”
Zhuge Bai didn't even think, blurting out directly,
“That would definitely be Quanxing! The Quanxing Demonic Path has committed countless evils, and everyone should punish them…”
Before Zhuge Bai could finish his sentence, Zhuge Qing exclaimed “Wocao!” from the side, quickly covering his mouth and awkwardly trying to smooth things over for him.
“Hahaha, Boss, don’t listen to Bai’s nonsense. What does a child like him know? It’s all rubbish.”
At the same time, he admonished Zhuge Bai: “Bai, you too! Why are you telling Boss the things you made up while playing house with Er Niu next door? You should just play with this kind of stuff privately; don’t interfere with Brother Lin’s creation.”
Lin Xu looked at Zhuge Qing acting in front of him, smiling inwardly, but he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he followed along with Zhuge Qing’s words.
“So, it’s Xiao Bai’s playing house setting, huh? Xiao Bai sounded so certain when he said it, I actually thought there was such a School in the world! Hahaha.”
Hearing Lin Xu’s laughter, Zhuge Qing and Zhuge Meng also awkwardly chuckled along.
But the next moment, Lin Xu suddenly changed the topic.
“But Lao Qing, you really can’t say, the child’s imagination is indeed very good. The name for this villain that Xiao Bai came up with actually sounds quite flavorful when you think about it.”
“An organization that obtains happiness through fists, filled with a bunch of scoundrels who commit evil acts by relying on their strength. Quan Xing… Quan Xing. I’ve decided that the villainous School in under one person will be called Quan Xing.”
“Xiao Bai, then I’ll directly use this evil School name you thought of. You don’t object, do you?”
Before Zhuge Bai could speak, Zhuge Qing directly agreed for him.
“Hahaha, Boss, as long as you like it. It’s just a name; use it if you want, no need to ask for our opinion.”
At this moment, Zhuge Qing felt incredibly fortunate.
Thankfully, Lin Xu misunderstood the meaning of Quanxing!
Quan Xing is good, as long as it’s not *that* Quanxing!
Lin Xu nodded with satisfaction, another setting name perfectly resolved.
Now, only a few key contents remained that needed names. Lin Xu looked at Zhuge Qing with a sly expression.
Lao Qing, Lao Qing, you’re celebrating too early. I still have a few traps waiting for you to fall into.
The next moment, Lin Xu put on a troubled expression and spoke to Zhuge Qing.
“Lao Qing, most of the settings in under one person are almost complete, but there’s one important content that I haven’t been able to come up with a suitable setting for.”
“What is it?” Zhuge Qing asked tentatively.
“Yiren can Cultivate, right? So, what would be suitable for them to Cultivate? Zhuge Qing, you come from the Zhuge Family, you understand traditional culture better. Is there any suitable energy system in our ancient traditional culture that you could recommend?”
“Uh… Boss, I actually don’t understand traditional culture that much. I only know a little bit, just for showing off and chasing girls.”
Lin Xu just laughed. He pointed a finger at Zhuge Qing.
“Hahaha, you, you, you’re being modest, aren’t you? You’re the most cultured person in our company. If you don’t understand, then probably no one does.”
Seeing that Zhuge Qing was still playing dumb, Lin Xu simply brought out the name he had prepared long ago.
“Lao Qing, yesterday I looked through some ancient texts and thought of a name. Would you like to hear it and see what you think?”
“Alright… What is it called?”
Lin Xu said, word by word,
“Qi Cultivator!”
Zhuge Qing paused, then softly exclaimed, “Ah? Qi Cultivator?”
“That’s right, Qi Cultivator.” Lin Xu nodded, “Legend has it that during the pre-Qin period, weren’t there many Qi Cultivators? They believed that breathing was the bridge connecting the human body to nature, and by adjusting their breathing, they could absorb the essence of heaven and earth to nourish their bodies.”
“I think this setting is quite good, so I’m using it. What’s wrong? Is this setting not good?”
“Oh! It’s the Qi as in ‘gas’, right!”
At this moment, Zhuge Qing realized that the Qi Cultivator Lin Xu mentioned was not the same as what he was thinking.
Lin Xu pretended to look at Zhuge Qing in confusion.
“Otherwise, what? Could there be *that* other ‘Qi’?”
“Hahahaha.” Zhuge Qing awkwardly waved his hand, “No! How could there be any other Qi? This Qi is good, the name Qi Cultivator is very good, it perfectly matches the traditional feel you’re going for, Boss.”
Lin Xu showed a smiling face.
“Since Lao Qing, you also think there’s no problem, then there’s definitely no problem.”
“Then the Yiren’s Cultivate method will be called Qi Cultivator, and the energy they Cultivate can just be called ‘Qi’.”
“Hahaha, as long as Boss is satisfied.”
With the Cultivate system confirmed, most of the settings in under one person were almost complete.
The remaining parts that still needed to be set were the martial arts used by the various Yiren Schools. This part didn't really need special reasons.
It would be fine to just use the most widely circulated martial arts on the market.
Things like Wudang’s Tai Chi, Shaolin’s Iron Shirt Golden Bell Shield, Tianshi Mansion’s Lightning Law, Maoshan’s Talisman… these are all Moves that are widely spread in various folk tales. Even if Lin Xu uses them, there won’t be anything strange, and there’s no need for any concealment.
“Lao Qing, for some of the subsidiary School Moves and methods in the plot, I’ve taken some widely circulated names from ancient texts and legends.”
“But I haven’t really thought about the protagonist’s Zhuge Family’s unique skills. In the setting, the protagonist’s ancestor is Zhuge Liang, and you just happen to be a descendant of the Zhuge Family. Why don’t you choose some suitable names from the legends of Zhuge Liang to use as the protagonist’s Move names?”
“Lao Qing, when you design the Zhuge Family’s unique skills, it’s best to connect them with Zhuge Liang’s image and stories, like Star Gazing, Empty Fort Strategy, or Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, so that the audience can immediately see that these Moves are related to Zhuge Liang.”
