Let's Learn to Bleat Like Sheep Together, Baa Baa Baa Together

The Sect Master of the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, along with the protector under the Saintess of the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, arrived together at the digital product section of the mall.

This section features brands like Canon, Nikon, and Sony, suitable for beginners, especially young photography enthusiasts, as well as those seeking advanced or commercial photography.

There's also Leica, which targets the Volkswagen market with a more accessible luxury image.

There are not many medium format brands, only Leica, and affordable Fuji and Pentax models. Brands such as Hasselblad and Phase One are not available. Of course, large format is nowhere to be found.

The choice of equipment doesn't necessarily have to prioritize high image quality and professional features. All Liu Chang'an needs is a camera that can capture the beauty of a young girl. If the minimum standard is met, a mobile phone will suffice.

Of course, in artistic creation, thorough preparation in the early stages can save more time in the later stages and raise the upper limit of artistic achievement.

"Someone of your status should be like the oil prince, ordering custom lenses from Leica and Zeiss." Zhu Juntang flattered the Sect Master.

"Just like your 1700mm F4?" Liu Chang'an knew that Zhu Juntang was the kind of gear enthusiast; he hadn't seen her create any works, but she certainly had a lot of equipment.

It's not that she doesn't have any works; most of her works are selfies taken with her phone or personal portraits, which are then made into canvases and wallpapers of various materials and are ubiquitous in her multi-story building.

For Zhu Juntang, these cameras and lenses are like her rare and out-of-print books—props for taking pictures.

"That's the telephoto lens I use to photograph endangered animals in the grasslands. In order to protect their habitat as much as possible and not disturb their most primitive way of life, I need such a telephoto lens," Zhu Juntang explained. Associating herself with charity, wildlife conservation, environmental observation, and other such labels is an essential means for a wealthy heiress to cultivate her image in high society.

It is very effective and popular, especially in social settings where Westerners are active or where the host is present.

Whether Zhu Juntang truly loves wild animals and cares about the environment is not important; what matters is that she has these labels, is documented, and is recognized.

But now Zhu Juntang is not very interested in such image management anymore, because it was originally the Third Mistress's requirement. Such image management means that she has to do many things that she has no interest in and participate in some boring activities. It is not as free, easy and fun as being a fairy.

"It seems I've also received the treatment of an endangered animal." Liu Chang'an nodded. Zhu Juntang often used this telephoto lens or binoculars to observe him at the Baolong Center.

"I was observing Zhou Dongdong. Zhou Dongdong is the cute little animal, not you." Zhu Juntang refused to admit what she had done.

Liu Chang'an nodded in agreement. Zhou Dongdong was indeed a rare animal. Such a voracious eater was quite rare, whether in humans or animals.

"However... my background is very ordinary, I'm just a regular high school student... oh, now I'm a college student, I can just buy any equipment I need." Liu Chang'an walked to the counter, looked around, and said to the salesperson, "I want this camera, the body and lens kit, and a 256GB memory card."

"Sir, you know your stuff, this is our newest product..."

No need for introductions, I'll take this set.

"Okay, then I'll bring you a sample unit to take a look..."

"No need, just issue the invoice."

Such straightforward customers are the most popular, and the salesperson was happy to give them a so-called "gift package" worth about ten yuan. When the manager came to inspect the counter, he gave them an extra camera bag.

After paying and inspecting the goods, Liu Chang'an threw away the outer packaging, packed the camera, accessories, and instruction manual into his camera bag, and left.

"I didn't even get a chance to speak," Zhu Juntang said sullenly. "I didn't get to offer any suggestions at all."

"When you imitated the bleating of a sheep, you gave me a lot of information," Liu Chang'an said gratefully.

"What information? You also understand Mie Mie language?" Hearing Liu Chang'an say this, Zhu Juntang felt a little better, so she adorably invented "Mie Mie language," a language that sounded very cute.

"I don't understand, but I know you're so good at imitating sheep bleating, so your brain must not be very sharp. In that case, it's best not to listen to your advice." Liu Chang'an smiled and grabbed Zhu Juntang's head, shaking it gently.

"What's wrong with bleating like a sheep! Does bleating like a sheep mean you're not smart? You still like listening to me bleat like a sheep!" Zhu Juntang angrily raised her hand to hit someone, but her head was held down, and she couldn't reach it.

"Who said that? I don't like it." Liu Chang'an released her head.

"You don't like it? Then I'll insist on calling you that!"

"Go ahead and call."

"Meow!"

"Dislike."

"Baa! Baa! Baa!"

"How annoying!"

"Mie Mie meow Mie Mie! Meow meow! Meow! Mie Mie meow!"

"It's so noisy."

"Mie Mie Mie Mie Mie...Mie Mie Mie"

So Liu Chang'an and Yang returned to Baolong Center.

He told Zhu Juntang to go back by herself, but Zhu Juntang refused, because if she hadn't been with Liu Chang'an, she had no reason to wander around outside and should be "confined" when she returned.

Liu Chang'an guessed that An Nuan and the others' filming activities were not yet over, so he decided to go to the restaurant to sit down. He hadn't checked on the business for a long time.

Just then, An Nuan sent a message with a photo she had taken with her phone. The photo only showed four legs, and she asked Liu Chang'an to identify which leg was hers and which was Liu Yuewang's.

Liu Chang'an did not see this message.

"An Nuan and her mother are in the hotel upstairs?" Zhu Juntang saw the message. She sometimes went to Zhong Qing's room and had some impression of the hotel's style of flooring, carpets, and sofas, so she recognized them.

"Um."

"Then tell me, which leg belongs to An Nuan, and which leg belongs to her mother?" Zhu Juntang, intrigued, wanting to test Liu Chang'an as well.

When Zhu Juntang first met An Nuan and An Nuan's mother, even with her extensive knowledge as a fairy, she was still somewhat amazed. Liu Yuewang's maintenance was astonishing. In addition to the temperament accumulated over the years, there was also the external charm emanating from the special mindset after becoming a mother. Her skin was as fair and delicate as a young girl's.

However, Zhu Juntang felt that if she looked closely, she should be able to tell the difference, since An Nuan often ran wildly like a horseman... Zhu Juntang knew that An Nuan was a volleyball player.

Professor Liu's level of exercise could never compare to An Nuan's; there are definitely subtle differences in their leg shape and muscle tone.

"What did you say? I don't know, I didn't receive such a message." Liu Chang'an shook his head.

Zhu Juntang was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe this guy would treat his girlfriend like that!

Zhu Juntang chuckled again. Despite Liu Chang'an's arrogant and tyrannical behavior in front of him, once he had a girlfriend, he was no different from other men. He was completely helpless when his girlfriend raised questions and demands.

"Let me see, maybe I can help you figure it out," Zhu Juntang offered sympathetically.

"How can you tell? The lighting in the guest room is terrible. A phone's CMOS sensor is so small; in the dark, there's just a lot of noise. The skin looks bright and white thanks to algorithms, but there's no detail at all. If you zoom in even slightly, it's just a blurry pixel." Liu Chang'an shook his head. If this were a normal-quality DSLR photo, even some extremely dark details could sometimes be brought back to a brighter level with software. It's impossible with a phone.

Claims that mobile phones can replace or rival DSLR cameras are simply misleading ordinary consumers by exploiting the asymmetry in their understanding of professional information.

At least for now, that's not possible.

"That's not very clever of you! The one with her feet tightly together is Professor Liu, and the one with her feet apart is definitely An Nuan!" Zhu Juntang said dismissively. "You men only know how to spout seemingly scientific theories, but you don't know women's habits."

"That makes sense, but you can't be sure." Liu Chang'an shook his head and asked again, "Why is it definitely An Nuan has her legs spread apart?"

"Because she's rather promiscuous." Zhu Juntang snorted.

Liu Chang'an gave her a smack on the back of the head.

I recommend Auspicious Blood, Bountiful Year's masterpiece, <Titans and Dragon Kings>, a hardcore Western fantasy. Speaking of Xia Hua, I've written some Western fantasy before, and my writing is alright, but it can't compare to professional fantasy authors. You can check out Fantasy World's works and experience the charm of world-building.
