Chen Qi: I'm a Good Man-Who Goes to Prison for Making Movies? / Everyone, Stop Fighting and Watch "Braveheart" Together First!

Immediately, Chen Qi realized something was wrong. This "Sui" blood was dangerous! The Yan feared nothing more than fragments of "Sui." If he possessed this bloodline, wouldn't he be practically on the Yan's kill list?

[Host, you can rest assured. Although the blood of "Sui" has given you the bloodline of the Sui Beast, no one will notice the changes unless someone performs a blood test on you.]

[Regarding the kinship issues the host is concerned about, please rest assured that each of the twelve fragments of "Sui" has become an independent personality. They are nominally brothers and sisters and can sense Sui's response, but "Sui's" bloodline transcends human bloodline theory, so the situation the host is worried about does not exist.]

"... so?"

[Therefore, even if the host has Nian and Xi have children for you, there's no need to worry about incest. The babies will be 100% purebloods, intelligent and strong.]

... Okay, Chen Qi didn't want to listen to this illogical theory of the unorthodox system anymore. He was more concerned that as long as the blood test wasn't done, he wouldn't be exposed.

In that case, Yan should not know that "Sui" has inexplicably gained this fragment... Although he is definitely not the one, now that he has bloodline, it's hard to explain.

This is a case of a gay man under the table; even if he's not gay, he's gay.

Chen Qi's current wistful expression made Nian, who had already read the letter sent by her elder brother, subconsciously look over. But this time, Nian found that Chen Qi in her eyes had a feeling she had never had before.

Suddenly... I find this guy much more pleasing to the eye than usual? What's going on?

Chapter 105: Chen Qi: I'm a great philanthropist, who would go to jail for filming?

Although Chen Qi did not want to be tainted by the blood of "Sui", the rare prop given to him by his Chongyue brother Chen Qi has greatly benefited him. At least, he no longer needs to worry about his relationship with Nian and Xi, the two key helpers in the production team.

Moreover, Brother Chongyue even sent them a letter. Although Chen Qi didn't know what was written on it, considering that the other party even gave him such a martial arts manual, it must have been something nice, right?

Especially after obtaining the "Blood of Sui" and achieving some mastery of Yan martial arts, Chen Qi felt different from before. He could now easily defeat a hundred of himself.

Presumably, his physique must have improved considerably by now, right? He had never beaten Sis Talulah before; she always came to him for help when she couldn't stand it anymore. This time, Chen Qi wanted to test how far his physique was from Talulah's.

However... Talulah has probably been in a bad mood these past few days. The entire crew of "Braveheart" is feeling a bit depressed, and Rhodes Island's Medical Department will likely be doing a lot of psychological counseling work lately. Chen Qi will also have to make a cameo appearance to help Talulah, FrostNova, and the others relieve their inner turmoil.

"What did the letter say?" Chen Qi asked curiously when he saw Nian looking at him.

"--It's nothing, it's just that my older brother is worried about Xi and me on set, afraid we'll cause trouble, so he wrote a letter to remind us not to make things too big."

Nian suppressed the fact that she suddenly found Chen Qi much more agreeable, for reasons she didn't know. Of course, she also knew that Chen Qi was a rather mysterious person. Ordinary people wouldn't have so many whimsical ideas like him. Nian had always guessed that Chen Qi, like them, was some kind of "Feranmut" or something similar.

Chen Qi himself didn't seem to have any intention of revealing his true strength, and he acted like an ordinary person. But Nian firmly believed that the talent Chen Qi had shown was enough for him to roam freely across the Terra.

Therefore, Nian did not heed the words that her elder brother wrote in the letter, such as "Don't cause trouble," "Get along well with Director Chen Qi," and "Guide Director Chen Qi to do good."

Their film crew has three "Feranmut- level" combatants! Even if some countries send troops to besiege them, can't they just escape if they can't win? They can just dive into the painting and immediately walk out of Huiji Mountain.

As for being wholeheartedly devoted to good deeds... that was Director Chen Qi's own choice; she was merely a technical advisor. Besides, from a historical perspective, Chen Qi didn't do anything morally reprehensible, did she?

The Godfather began to transform the Syracuse Mafia, Darkest Hour mobilized the entire population of Victoria to resist invasion from other countries, and their current film, Braveheart, could become the greatest anti-war film ever made! Without a doubt!

Isn't this a great act of kindness? Even in Laterano, wouldn't director Chen Qi be given a title like "Saint Chen Qi" or something?

"My brother means that he's worried we might use Director Chen Qi's talent to release some negative propaganda or news about Yan."

Xi was clearly much smarter than Nian; she could tell that Chongyue had reservations when writing this letter, and immediately rolled her eyes at Nian, saying:

"It seems that the Yan has started to pay attention to us... It was a terrible idea to have the people from Kazimierz Imperial Calendar Bureau escort us all the way down from Huiji Mountain."

As she spoke, Xi turned her gaze to Chen Qi. Whether it was because Chen Qi had obtained a rare item, or because Chongyue's letter contained words urging Xi to be closer to Chen Qi, Xi's tone this time was more relaxed:

"So, Director Chen Qi, what are your plans regarding this? You regret agreeing to my request now, but you still have a chance to back out."

"How could that be... I promised Miss Xi, of course I won't go back on my word."

Chen Qi was well aware that he couldn't afford to lose Xi and Nian's support because of the slight pressure from being far away in Yan. After filming "Braveheart," Chen Qi had truly experienced how much convenience Xi could bring to his filming.

If Nian could help Chen Qi with some of the work and even improve the technical skills of the crew members who were new to the production, then Xi could single-handedly handle all the most troublesome tasks, such as set design and extras.

How could Chen Qi possibly give up such an excellent production assistant because of pressure from the Yan? Putting that aside, from the perspective of a transmigrator, Chen Qi didn't think the Yan would do anything to "Sui".

After all, apart from the second brother, Yan hasn't shown any clear hostility towards any of the "Sui" fragments, right? If they were to capture Xi or Nian without any reason, do you Chongyue and Ling would stand for it? They would be forced to rebel.

Even if we assume that Yan is truly so unreasonable and unforgiving... then in order to protect those around him, Chen Qi would have no choice but to do something extraordinary, just to seek justice.

As for how to seek justice, whether to let the Yan decide or let fate decide, that's another matter.

"... You don't care?" Xi was also somewhat surprised. Chen Qi, such a cautious person, hadn't been scared into packing his bags and running away the moment he heard that Yan was paying attention to him. She couldn't help but blink and ask:

"We've been under constant surveillance by the Yan. Any sign of rebellion will result in our immediate arrest, and you'll definitely be implicated."

"But in my eyes, the person I took in wasn't a rebellious 'Sui Beast,' but Miss Xi, who has her own ideas and works with our crew to change Terra and stop the war, without any regrets."

Chen Qi smiled and didn't think Yan would come to him for anything. He knew he would have to go to Yan sooner or later—if he wanted to promote his work throughout Terra, he would have to visit every country, that was for sure.

Only with prestige points can one have the confidence to Protection those around them. Chen Qi certainly wouldn't let go of the prestige points in such a vast area as Yan.

"Don't worry, Miss Xi, Miss Nian, I believe the Emperor of Yan is not such an unreasonable person—and if you two really are suspected of rebellion, since I am the director and screenwriter, I should be the first one arrested and interrogated, not the two of you."

"If we have the opportunity to go to Yan, all the films I and everyone else make will definitely be submitted to the Emperor of Yan for review. How can I film them without his approval? And if he approves, what wouldn't I dare to film?"

Chen Qi understands the importance of obtaining official authorization before filming. Apart from "Darkest Hour" and "Braveheart," which of his previous works didn't receive permission from local government representatives before filming began? In the future, when he goes to Yan, some subjects will definitely require the emperor's approval before Chen Qi dares to film them.

As Chen Qi said this, he seemed to feel that it wasn't enough to reassure Nian Yuxi, so he added a sentence that practically bound him to the two women:

"So, everyone, don't worry about being seen as rebels. If Miss Xi and Miss Nian are indeed taken away by Yan someday, we might be able to look after each other in prison."

"... The Emperor of Yan would never imprison us; he would only have the Heavenly Master seal us away, or confine us to one place forever to do the same thing, under strict supervision."

After hearing this, Xi remained silent for a while before casually tossing her hair. However, at that moment, she couldn't help but let her spring-like smile curl up slightly.

He's a reliable person, isn't he? He's just an ordinary mortal, yet he's so protective of these "Sui Beast" in this matter? This guy is clearly from Yan, but his views are so different from those others.

So let's hope that in the future he can truly share hardships and life and death with them... Although, given their mortal lifespans, even if Chen Qi dies, they probably won't be too bothered.

"Since you've put it that way, then we're now in the same boat." Of course, Xi still maintained her composure; as a "Sui Beast," she possessed a certain divine aura, and said calmly to Chen Qi:

"From now on, just call me 'Xi,' no need for any further honorifics. I will also call you Chen Qi directly."

"Hey! Don't forget me! I was the first person to know Director Chen Qi!"

Nian, not to be outdone, was also moved by Chen Qi's words. However, unlike Xi, who maintained her dignity by putting on airs, Nian concealed her emotions in a rather bold way: by exaggerating her goodwill.

All I saw was Nian grab Chen Qi from behind and pull her into her arms. Her slightly feverish body clung tightly to Chen Qi, and she said excitedly:

"Then I'll call you Chen Qi from now on, just like my little sister! From this day forward, we're sworn brothers, bound by a bond that means we'll be arrested together if we get caught!"

"I will treat our film crew like our home, and take good care of everyone from top to bottom!"

"From now on, my work is your work, and your work is mine! We're family now! We'll share everything!"

"Good grief, you're trying to get something for free!" Chen Qi blurted out his thoughts almost immediately. However, seeing how relaxed Nian and Xi looked, Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the situation had stabilized.

As for whether the Yan would come knocking on his door in the future, and whether his possession of the "Blood of Sui" would be exposed... Chen Qi didn't feel there was anything to worry about. After "Braveheart," Chen Qi planned to travel to other countries and wait for things to calm down before making any further decisions.

Let's see if any other high-ranking figures will take notice of me after what happened to Victoria. I hope that "Braveheart" can bring this war to a close.

Chapter 106: Everyone, stop fighting! Let's watch "Braveheart" together first!

Two months have passed since the Sarkaz mercenaries joined the resistance against the Ursus Army Group in Victoria, Doren County.

The stalemate over the past two months has forced Victoria, Ursus, Leithania to invest enormous resources and resources into the battlefield. Victoria is now using all its national strength to support the two Mobile City that have become the front lines, while supplies to Leithania and Ursus are running out.

Everyone was suffering day after day, waiting for a strategic mistake by the enemy or a mutiny within the army, but all of this seemed to be a long way off.

The intervention of the Sarkaz mercenaries has balanced the current war situation, but what has resulted is that the battlefield, which could still be defined as a "military conflict," has completely succumbed to a war without any bottom line.

The Horn had to admit that the Sarkaz mercenaries, after becoming familiar with the terrain of Doren County, demonstrated a huge advantage in urban warfare and small-scale defensive battles. They also showed extraordinary performance in a series of war tactics, such as harassing and attacking the enemy's logistics and setting traps.

Take the situation in Doren County as a Horn. Originally, after Horn's infantry battalion entered Doren County, they could barely hold onto the remaining 10% of the area from falling. However, after the intervention of the Sarkaz mercenaries led by the Bloodborne Archon, not only was the pressure on them greatly reduced, but they even began to launch small-scale counterattacks against the Ursus Legion.

By the time the Duke of Wellington and the troops of Deep Pool arrived, they had expanded their defensive perimeter to 15%—a result achieved in just one week!

Just as the Duke of Wellington arrived with his army, and the remaining Victoria civilians in Horn and Doren County believed that their chance to turn the tide and drive the Ursus from their homes had finally arrived, and that they could crawl out of the dark sewers and see the sunlight again, another round of artillery fire from the Ursus Army Group shattered their illusions.

This time, the Ursus Army Group's artillery bombardment was more ferocious than ever before. Even those hiding in the sewers could hear the constant explosions, collapsing buildings, and the sounds of soldiers sacrificing themselves on walkie-talkies.

They later learned that the Ursus Fourth Army Group had also joined the war, while the Eighth Army Group was consolidating the rear and ensuring the smooth flow of logistical supplies. Now, the tactic of attacking the enemy's logistics was difficult to implement.

This dealt a heavy blow to the enthusiasm of everyone who thought they could reclaim their homes, extinguishing that glimmer of hope before it could even take root.

What followed was another long and endless war of attrition. Instead of sending a large army to press the border, the Ursus Army Group adjusted its tactics and began a series of harassing attacks.

They seemed to know that they were not only fighting against the Victoria army, but also against experienced Sarkaz mercenaries, so they made the most of their firepower, bombarding every corner of Doren County with rounds of artillery fire—and deliberately at night.

Whether inside the building or in the sewers, everyone was struggling to get enough sleep under the relentless bombardment, and even supplies of water and food were becoming scarce.

Moreover, the Ursus Legion also began harassing the sewers, but instead of sending troops to patrol the sewers, they used Originium Bomb and Oripathy Dispersal Agent.

Oripathy Dispersal Agent, in a world where almost everyone has a bit of Oripathy, is roughly equivalent to a poison gas bomb.

This forced even the people of Victoria to gradually lose their shelter in the sewers, and more and more people began to move to other areas that were not affected. The Ursus Legion was also constantly using this method to wear down the logistics of the Victoria side.

Faced with an increasing number of civilians and wounded, the Sarkaz and Victoria soldiers retaliated in the same way—they didn't kill, they only maimed them, and even when they had the chance to kill them, they didn't, focusing instead on the legs, hands, and spine. Every additional wounded soldier added more pressure to Ursus's logistics.

The war is slowly losing all boundaries. All the soldiers and civilians who were originally full of passion and wanted to fight against the invasion of their homeland are gradually going crazy under these rules.

At this moment, in one of the few remaining sewer shelters, the Horn arrived and found many wounded people in great pain... soldiers, civilians, and Sarkaz.

"Ah, our brave assault captain is back." The Bloodborne Archon also appeared there, quietly observing his surroundings. Upon seeing the returning Horn, he asked, "How is the situation on the ground?"

"... There's almost nowhere safe on the ground anymore, so we had no choice but to bring the wounded here. It's not a good medical environment."

Horn glanced at the Bloodborne Archon. In the past few months, she hadn't seen how the Bloodborne Archon made a move. She had asked him the same question before, and the Bloodborne Archon's answer left Horn speechless.

"Ursus must know I'm here. As for why I can't take action... it's because I'm just keeping things under control. If I were to intervene, the situation would be completely different."

"This means that both countries have begun to deploy their most powerful killing machines. I can escape unscathed, but can you withstand the onslaught of several Emperor's Blades and the Demons Fragment within them, turning this place into a no-man's-land?"

"As long as I don't intervene, Ursus has no reason to send the 'Emperor's Blades.' As for why the King of Scavengers Leithania can do so... it's simply because, after the Witch King's death, Leithania, apart from the Twin Empresses, has no other high-end combat power to offer."

The Bloodborne Archon's explanation left Horn speechless; after all, she was already very grateful that the Sarkaz mercenaries were willing to help them defend their homeland.

Silently, Horn walked to a stretcher to the side. In the dark and damp sewer, many of Horn's comrades-in-arms, whom she knew, were also resting there after being wounded. She had come to relieve her comrades and also to see them.

"Bagpipe, this time the holding of the position is up to you... Saileach will relieve you in six hours."

"Yes, leave it to me without worry."

Bagpipe nodded, but this cheerful and lively country girl, Vouivre, who was always cheerful no matter what happened, had no smile on her face in the midst of the battlefield, and even her voice was a little hoarse.

The long and endless battle had robbed this once cheerful country girl of the strength to laugh. She simply picked up her musket and, with the soldiers who were still able to move, along with a few Sarkaz mercenaries, returned to the ground.

The Horn was also exhausted and was just looking for a place to rest when he discovered a Sarkaz pointing his greatsword at a wounded Victoria soldier.

"What are you doing?!"

The Horn gave a sharp shout and almost reflexively rushed forward. She didn't knock the Sarkaz away, but she did hinder his movements.

"... He's losing too much blood, it won't stop, and this will only increase his suffering."

Seeing Horn's agitated state, the Sarkaz mercenary showed no anger, speaking to Horn in a stagnant tone, "Do you know him, little girl?"

"He was my comrade-in-arms, a comrade in the same team as me! His codename was 'Triangle'!"

The Horn immediately answered the Sarkaz, but at that moment she also noticed the terrible state of her comrade... His legs were gone, and blood was still seeping out. They lacked medicine and couldn't even guarantee a medical environment.

She knew her comrades were going to die... but she still couldn't bear to watch them do this; she didn't want to give up like this.

"He doesn't even have the strength to speak anymore," the Sarkaz mercenary replied calmly. "If this continues, even if he doesn't bleed to death, his wounds will fester and could even cause disease that infects all of us."

"At this point, finishing him off would be merciful, little girl. Don't question the judgment of us Sarkaz."

"No, no... there must be a way!" Horn shook his head, and suddenly, a streak of blood flashed by, and Horn immediately felt the "Triangle" attached to his palm go still.

The Horn's eyes also turned to the source— the Bloodborne Archon unabashedly accepted the smear of blood and said calmly:

"This is war, brave little Lupo. You want to be merciful, but you don't want to fight yourself. I'll make that choice for you."

"This is not a game; you have no choice. This is a brutal survival game. From the moment you stepped into this place with the idea of making a name for yourself and protecting your country, you should have known that you had entered not paradise, but hell."

"Take the body out and bury it somewhere to prevent the spread of infectious diseases."

As the Bloodborne Archon finished speaking, he showed no emotion whatsoever for the death of one person. The now lifeless Horn simply stared blankly as the Sarkaz sheathed his greatsword and carried his comrade away from the sewers.

The Horn remained silent for a long time, and the wounded, civilians, Sarkaz... everyone around watched this scene coldly. Everyone seemed to have become accustomed to it, or rather, numb... Their eyes were devoid of light, and they simply stared at this scene.

Until a hand landed on Horn's shoulder, Horn turned her head and saw only a Drac girl watching her quietly with pity and gentle eyes.

"You are... the leader of Deep Pool?"

"No, I am the leader's sister, Lavshini." Lavshini approached the Horn and whispered:

"My sister and Duke of Wellington are on the main battlefield, fighting and holding back the Ursus Fourth and Eighth Army Group. The only thing we can do to help them is to hold the last area."

"We must persevere, no matter how much the war takes from us... Want a piece of candy? It might cheer you up."

As she said this, Lavshini gave one of her few remaining sugars to Horn, and after watching Horn slowly eat it, Lavshini continued:
