Chapter 298: Photography Non-Stop
“How did I offend you?”
Jiang Caibin still couldn't understand why his respected elder brother, Jiang Cai Zhi, would treat him this way.
“Also, who did Miss Liu offend?”
“Indeed, I just hate that about you—knowing nothing, being too well protected.” Jiang Cai Zhi looked at Jiang Caibin, his eyes revealing a venomous, snake-like hatred.
However, his pride wouldn't allow him to reveal the true source of his hatred.
Moreover, those sources were too fragmented to ever fully explain.
“I won’t tell you anything you want to know,” Jiang Caibin said with great satisfaction.
“I want you to live in mystery your entire life.”
But he didn't notice a hint of satisfaction also flash in the depths of Jiang Caibin's eyes.
…
Soon, Liu Sheng, who was reading in her room, received a spirit message from Jiang Caibin.
“Is it done?”
“It's done, the performance was a success,” she replied.
She curved her lips into a smile and put away the spirit message.
Just now, she had transformed her Little Tentacle into an eye, which perched in Jiang Caibin’s hair, observing the entire melodramatic “brotherly love” play.
It had to be said, Jiang Caibin’s acting was truly superb now, and coupled with his current “innocent little white flower” persona, slightly assimilated by the Little Tentacle, it was… so utterly despicable that no one could match him.
So despicable that it caused Jiang Cai Zhi’s emotions to erupt again and again, even leading him to physical violence, ultimately creating this scene, allowing her plan to succeed.
With a thought, a half-human-height light screen appeared before her, displaying Jiang Cai Zhi’s face.
At this moment, he was alone in his room, smashing things in a fit of rage, cursing Jiang Caibin with foul language.
Jiang Caibin wasn't present, so he couldn't hear this splendid barrage of insults.
So how was she able to see this scene?
She had to thank the newly acquired weird objects, the 【Non-Stop Camera】.
—
Name: Non-Stop Camera
Analysis Completion: 100%
Type: weird objects
Effect Description: When activated with Guai Qi, the hidden camera will continuously record the target's life, earning “drama points” based on the level of drama in their life.
The higher the drama points, the clearer the footage; it consumes 0.05 drama points per minute. When points are depleted, filming ends.
This camera is extremely hidden, colorless, odorless, and silent, specially designed for filming dramatic private lives. Use with confidence.
Note: If a more dramatic individual is encountered, the camera may transfer.
Influence Rank: B
Analysis Evaluation: “Don't you guys like drama? Good! I’ll film it for you! As long as there are drama points, the camera won’t stop!” —From the resentment of a variety show director who wanted to make an art film but ended up making a show with obvious scripts, excessive melodrama, and constant trending topics.

Excellent, this camera was exactly what she needed, like a pillow for a sleepy head.
Liu Sheng wanted to know who was behind the scenes, and she needed such a perspective.
However, the Little Tentacle required implantation, which involved a clearly painful process, and if Jiang Cai Zhi knew he had such a thing on him, he definitely wouldn't be as obedient as Jiang Caibin.
Moreover, it was a weird objects after all, and a living one at that, so there was no guarantee it wouldn't be discovered.
Although it hadn't happened yet.
Having such a weird objects was perfect!
Liu Sheng looked at the bottom right corner of the light screen, which read: 【Drama Points: 78】, and nodded with satisfaction.
Enough for more than a day of filming.
Tomorrow, she would have Jiang Caibin provoke him again to replenish the drama points.
“The term ‘drama points’ is quite brilliant.”
“Originally from the federal language, it has now become a popular Star Network term, describing dramatic, exaggerated, absurd, and eye-catching events,” the World explained.
However, it said “non-stop,” but it still stops!
“There always have to be some limitations, otherwise wouldn't we be invincible?”
The World sensed Liu Sheng’s resentment and offered comfort.
“Also, I noticed you’ve revamped it?” Liu Sheng asked the World, as the layout had clearly changed.
“Yes, based on my experience browsing and learning on the Star Network, I felt this was more aesthetically pleasing.”
“It seems so, perhaps.” Liu Sheng didn't really care about aesthetics; as long as it could display information, it was fine.
She hadn't expected the World to have such an obsession with it.
“Layout is very important. It not only improves the readability and visual appeal of text but also enhances professional image and reader experience, and reflects my aesthetic concepts.”
Liu Sheng didn't know what aesthetic concepts the World had, but as long as it liked it, she decided to skip this topic.
“And I saw you even added a new entry: 【Type】!”
“Yes, as more and more objects are being analyzed, I decided to add this entry for greater clarity and intuitiveness.”
“I agree with that point.” Liu Sheng wholeheartedly supported anything that helped improve information retrieval efficiency.
Liu Sheng's attention returned to the light screen, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that the drama points had quietly increased by two.
【Drama Points: 80】
What did Jiang Cai Zhi do? How could he “drama” on his own?
However, Liu Sheng found that he was just sitting cross-legged, Cultivating, but his face showed a pained expression, and he eventually even lay on the bed, wailing loudly.
Like a heartbroken child.
His cries were so loud that they echoed incessantly in Liu Sheng’s room. Liu Sheng quietly chose to mute the sound.
“…”
“???”
The Liu Shengs watching the show were full of question marks, whispering to each other.
“He’s really so dramatic!”
“It doesn’t match his persona at all…”
“Breaking character, no wonder the drama points went up.”
“Wait, could it be… he had a problem with his Cultivation?”
“Very likely!”
“Thinking back to when Jiang Caibin fought him, after Jiang Caibin became a Yugui, he was only at the Initial Realm Early Stage. Wasn't Jiang Cai Zhi already at the Mingzhen Realm Middle Stage? Yet he had no power to fight back.”
“Not only did he have no power to fight back, did you not notice that he didn’t even use spirit Qi?”
“I know! He lost his Cultivation and spirit Qi!”
“He tried to communicate with the Supreme God, but he couldn't anymore!”
“That's why he’s lashing out everywhere!”
As if in a prize quiz, the Liu Shengs eagerly answered.
“Shh, turn on the sound, he seems to be talking.”
At this moment, Jiang Cai Zhi finally lifted his head from the bed, his face covered in messy tears and snot, looking at the ceiling, his mouth opening and closing, murmuring something.
His voice came through the light screen.
“Why…”
“Why can’t I sense anything at all…”
“Clearly, clearly, I could yesterday!”
“Today…” Jiang Cai Zhi looked down at his trembling hands, “Today, why is there nothing left at all!”
“Ah ah ah ah! My spirit Qi! Why is there nothing left at all!”
“I have the Cultivation of Initial Realm Rank nine, but no spirit Qi!”
“What’s the use?”
“Yay yay yay! Guessed it right!”
“Only guessed half right, he has Cultivation, just no spirit Qi.”
“But how did that happen?”
Jiang Cai Zhi was also thinking about this.
Then he seemed to remember something, and a look of venomous hatred emerged, further contorting his already ravaged face.
“It’s you, it must be you, you did it on purpose!”
“Who?”
“Making me think there would be some hope, but in reality, it was death by a thousand cuts, ultimately completely stealing my hope!”
“That sword… it actually severed my connection with the Supreme God…”
“What sword? So powerful?”
“Unable to communicate with the gods, so all the spirit Qi in his body dispersed.”
“You are truly… so ruthless, so venomous!”
Jiang Cai Zhi’s face gradually twisted, and like a trapped beast, he let out a desperate roar, grabbing the bedding and violently throwing it to the ground.
“I curse you! May you die a terrible death!”
“Who? Who is it exactly?”
“Hurry up and say it! You’re tormenting me to death!”
“Why doesn’t the curse include a name? Aren’t you afraid the Supreme God will mistake the person?”
However, Liu Sheng never heard the person's name until the very end.
Jiang Cai Zhi had clearly been making a fuss all day and was already tired; he cried himself to sleep.
Liu Sheng was very disappointed in him. How could he just fall asleep like that?
Shouldn't he have rolled up his sleeves and gone to settle the score with that person?
However, seeing the drama points in the bottom right corner had already risen to “88,” Liu Sheng felt a bit happier.
“This Jiang Cai Zhi is simply a drama conglomerate, he can even produce and sell his own drama.”
“Suffering a great calamity and losing spirit Qi, being forced to start from scratch, isn’t that the protagonist template?”
“And there's an enemy who made him like this, who sounds like they possess extraordinary means. It would be a disservice to this setting not to follow a revenge plot.”
“And it’s our common enemy.”
“No matter how I think about it, something feels off. How did insignificant little people like us get targeted?”
“Perhaps someone can tell fortunes and predict that we will become important figures in the future.”
“That’s good!”
“Possible!”
“Who is it, then, with such good foresight?”
