Side story 3: Showing the Solaris girls Wuthering Waves fanworks (1)
One day, inside a home theater.
It was still evening, and the coffee table was still laden with snacks and drinks, but this time the people attending the party had changed.
"Senior, what brings you here at this time?" Morning tilted his head, his crimson eyes filled with confusion.
"Of course, I invited you all here to relax," Xiao Ling said with a smile, holding a remote control in her hand, seemingly looking for a short video to use as entertainment for tonight's party.
"But my job..."
Upon hearing the word "work," Xiao Ling immediately became furious, tossed the remote control into Little Ai's hand, turned around, and gave Morning a light tap on the head.
"Meow!" Morning covered her forehead, staring at Xiao Ling with a pitiful expression, "What's wrong, senior...?"
"Silly girl, holidays are for resting, of course." Xiao Ling then rubbed Morning's delicate face. "Every time I go to your room, you're either working or working. You don't look like you're on vacation at all!"
(By the way, did Professor Morning meow just now?)
"Senior, I've reached my limit, please stop rubbing..." Professor Morning, unable to struggle under the attack of face rubbing, could only beg Xiao Ling to let her go.
"Alright, A-Yu, stop fooling around!" Aemeath pouted slightly, pulled Xiao Ling's hand away from Morning's cheek, and then placed it on her own cheek. "You need to rub mine."
Xiao Ling readily accepted this sweetheart who had offered herself up, and casually rubbed Little Ai's cheeks. You have to admit, they were quite soft.
As for why they gathered here again, we have to go back a few hours earlier.
Xiao Ling felt that Little Ai's last late-night movie event was generally well-organized.
However, the movie she chose was definitely not something a family gathering should watch, although she did manage to win over a cute Little Orange and successfully enjoy the fruit platter.
So this time, he's going to try a different approach.
Everyone says that the Wuthering Waves is vast, full of possibilities. Today, let's broaden the horizons of these girls and see how they react when they encounter the characters they've created in the fan fiction.
So, after making up his mind, he sent a message in the group chat.
Xiao Ling: I want to see something good tonight.
Xiao Ling: Are there any beautiful ladies who can accompany me to admire this scenery?
Aemeath: Great news? It's a new game!
Xiao Ling: It's even more exciting than a new game, and I can even teach you...
(Why is there something mysterious about your conversation?)
Sigrika: Senior, is it going to be another horror movie? I can't handle being scared QAQ.
Xiao Ling: This time I'm in charge, so of course I won't choose horror movies to scare you.
Sigrika: Hmm... I believe in you, senior!
Dania: Count me in! I also want to see what kind of good stuff you guys are looking for.
Lynae: +1
Chisa:+1
Roccia: It seems everyone's quite interested. I missed it last time, so I'm joining in the fun this time. Where's Crimson Snow?
Crimson Snow: If it's Little Ling's invitation, I certainly can.
Changli: Oh? This is a rare opportunity. Count me in.
Jinhsi: Master, are you coming today too?
Suisui: How can a party be complete without us? You agree, Yangyang.
Yangyang: Yeah, these things are definitely more fun with more people.
Finally, the guests present today can be divided into two camps based on their regions: Huanglong's Yang Sui Sisters and Dragon and Phoenix Master and Apprentice, and Lahai-Roi's Star Torch Academy Student Group and Deep Sky Collective Group, plus a Hajipiao.
"So, what exactly does Ling want to show us when she called us here?" Dania asked with great interest.
"Of course, I'm showing you guys some fan-made content." Xiao Ling snapped her fingers.
"Oh, so it's a fan-made work." Aemeath understood immediately.
"It's actually a fan-made story?" Lynae chimed in, playing the straight man.
"Is it the fan-made story I was thinking of?" Dania chuckled.
"What is all this?!" Sigrika looked completely bewildered. "How do you guys know this? Can someone explain it to me?"
"It's very simple to explain, Little Orange," Xiao Ling explained. "Secondary creation, or 'secondary creation,' usually appears as 'xx secondary creation,' and this prefix is the subject of the secondary creation."
"If that's what you're saying, Brother Ling, does that mean the so-called 'second creations' you're going to enjoy today are all related to us?" Suisui Sui's quick-witted mind immediately aligned with Xiao Ling's thoughts.
Aren't you curious about the fan-made characters you create?
"It would be a lie to say I'm not curious, would it?" Roccia said with a smirk. "We also want to see how we'll be turned into fan art."
"It shouldn't be too exaggerated by fan art, right..." Lynae's expression was a little awkward.
"Well, who can say for sure? Anyway, let's go!"
Xiao Ling sat in the center and first chose a video made by Wuthering Waves's official team as the prelude to this fan-made film viewing event.
The video opens with Lynae's lively and beautiful figure. As her character's theme song reaches its climax, she begins to dance to the rhythm of the song. Her movements are clean and crisp, yet full of Lynae's youthful energy. That unique anime-style youthful beauty almost leaps off the screen.
The video was short, but after watching it, everyone present couldn't help but applaud in admiration.
"I didn't expect you to be such a good dancer Little Lin!" Aemeath teased Lynae with a grin. "Can I ask you to be my backup dancer for my next new song?"
"Lynae is amazing! You dance so beautifully!" Sigrika exclaimed happily. "I'm not kidding, I genuinely think you dance exceptionally well, with that... that... what was it again?"
"Sigrika- san, you mean youthfulness, right?" Chisa smiled. "I think so too."
"Lynae, you can actually dance in your spare time?" Roccia with a smile. "It seems I don't know enough about you. I'll have to talk to you more in the future."
Crimson Snow, the Rover, and Morning remained silent; their smiles were a silent acknowledgment of Lynae.
"Miss Lynae is indeed very talented at dancing..." Jinhsi gave her full affirmation, "But I'm a little..."
"Jinhsi, we should fully acknowledge other people's strengths, but it's wrong to belittle ourselves because of it," Changli gently comforted her. "As the saying goes, there's a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own area of expertise. We're all shining in our own worlds, and there's no reason why anyone is inferior to anyone else."
"Counselor Changli is right," Suisui chimed in. "However, Miss Lynae is quite a promising dancer. I wonder if she'd be interested in learning a few moves from me?"
"Sister, please don't make things difficult for Lynae," Yangyang interjected, "By the way, Lynae, what's your own opinion on this?"
"I want to be alone..." Lynae felt like jumping into a dye vat.
All she wants to know right now is who uploaded her dance video online?!
"Oh, by the way, this video has a total of 4.23 million views so far," Xiao Ling added in a light tone, delivering the final blow, "Congratulations, Lynae, you're a big star now."
"Gulp—kill me! I'm too ashamed to face anyone..."
Lynae swears she just danced a little on a whim, how did someone end up posting it online?
Since things have come to this, that guy had better hide his tail obediently, otherwise... hmph...
"Oh my~ Isn't this a good thing, Lynae? So many people like you~" Dania teased with a mischievous expression.
"Don't rush to tease her, you're next, Yaya."
????
Dania's face stiffened, then she gave an awkward laugh and said, "Haha... what do you mean I'm involved here?"
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I won't wait any longer," Xiao Ling said with a sly smile. "I'm going to let them have a good look at your girl group debut performance."
?!!!
"No way! Absolutely not!" Dania exploded on the spot, immediately reaching for the remote control in Xiao Ling's hand. "Give me the remote control!"
"If you want it, come and get it yourself. You know that, right?" Xiao Ling held the remote control out of Dania's reach, then said cheekily, "But I'm not going to give you a fair chance to compete~"
"Little Ai!"
"Here!" Aemeath understood what Hajiling meant and immediately held Dania was trying to snatch the remote control, firmly in her arms.
"Hehe, sorry Xiao Ya, I'm also very curious about your performance."
"No! Stop it!" Dania tried to struggle.
Unfortunately, Hajiling had already pressed play, and Dania could only helplessly watch as her girl group image was admired by everyone.
Sigrika was stunned for only two or three seconds before letting out a sharp, explosive sound.
"Oh my god, oh my god, what is this? It's so cute, so cute, so cute!!!!"
"I never expected Xiao Ya to have such a cute side~" Aemeath laughed, then nuzzled Dania's pink head with her chin.
"Wow, my good students have quite an interesting life behind the scenes," Roccia remarked.
"Dania is surprisingly good at dancing!" Morning exclaimed in surprise. "After all, I always thought you weren't good at sports, and you even complained about how tiring running was."
"People are fickle, Professor Morning. Who knows, maybe Xiao Ya will get interested one day and personally wear this outfit to dance for us?" Suisui chuckled.
"Hey~ that's a good suggestion! What do you think, Yaya?" Xiao Ling looked at Dania meaningfully.
He even had the script ready. After Dania's performance, he would have her dance a solo for him, and then they could move on to the much-anticipated "Phoebe warm tent" scene.
Aemeath released Dania at just the right moment, and the latter immediately let out a kittenish roar and pounced on Xiao Ling as if to bite him. However, Xiao Ling anticipated the attack and blocked it with his arm, at the cost of probably having several teeth marks on his arm.
"You'll see tonight...!" Dania could only threaten him weakly, seeing that she couldn't do anything about him.
"Okay, I'll wait." Xiao Ling pinched her nose and whispered in her ear, "Let's see how you, this little kitten, plan to torment me tonight."
"Abnormal!"
After this little episode, everyone watched a few more fan-made videos. Although some were quite similar, they were still quite interesting.
Xiao Ling thought to himself, "This won't do. I have to let these girls see the power of the dark side."
So, after searching for a long time, he finally found a fan-made work that looked incredibly amazing.
At this moment, this group of Solaris superhumans were unaware that they were about to step into the depths of the Wuthering Waves fanfiction.
When the video started playing, the chat logs that were shown almost caused a huge uproar among the girls, with Suisui, who had been watching the drama unfold, being the first to be affected.
Suisui: Baby.
Suisui: Be a good girl at home.
Suisui: Don't come out of the closet.
Suisui: Don't cheat on me.
Suisui: Sister, please!
Suisui: I'm 24 and it's not easy for me to find a boyfriend.
The subsequent chat logs were even more explicit and risqué, making the girls feel incredibly powerful and intimidated.
Roccia a look and exclaimed, "Wow, I have to sit up and see this!"
"No, Sister Suisui, you...?" Sigrika looked at Suisui, who was also in shock not far away, and her mouth formed an "O" shape.
"Sigrika, please understand! I would never say something like that!" Suisui hurriedly defended herself.
"Really?" Little Ai stared. jpg.
"Really?" Yaya stared. jpg.
"Really?" The principal stared.
"Really, sister?" Yangyang stared intently.
The result was obvious: the Supermen of Solaris completely underestimated the level of repression of the KGs, and their worldviews were completely shattered by this little appetizer.
"Hmm... how do I explain this to you?" Xiao Ling spoke up for Suisui, "Fan-made content is still fan-made content, and one of its drawbacks is that it can have out-of-character (OOC) situations, which means that the characters' behavior and words deviate from their original settings."
"So just enjoy it for fun. You've known Suisui for a while now, and you know what kind of person she is."
"You know what, it's definitely a bit depressing," the Rover said, his eye twitching. "Does anyone even watch this stuff?"
"Yes, it's almost 500,000 views." Xiao Ling nodded. "There's nothing we can do about it. That's the problem with short video fan creations. They're a mixed bag, and the top creators have taken the lion's share of the fanbase. Smaller creators at the bottom have to resort to crooked methods to find a way out."
"Of course, we can't generalize like this. There are many content creators with a small following who can produce enjoyable content. It all comes down to how much effort they put in."
"So, you see!" Suisui said seriously, blushing, "I would never be as casual as I am in the video!"
"But Sister Suisui, you haven't denied that you're going to steal your own sister's man, have you?" Aemeath added fuel to the fire.
"It's okay, they're both my little birds, I love them both the same~" Xiao Ling delivered a precise shot to draw attention.
?
"A-Yu, you're being naughty!" Aemeath said with a forced smile. "You need to be taught a lesson."
"How are you going to discipline me?" Xiao Ling asked expectantly, "If you're going to step on me with white silk stockings, please be sure to!"
"You really dare to dream!" Dania grabbed Xiao Ling's ear and pinched it. "I'm really going to teach you a lesson tonight!"
"Disobedient students do need some 'after-school tutoring' from their teachers," Roccia with a meaningful smile.
(Is your after-school tutoring legitimate?)
"Senior...!" Sigrika couldn't utter a single word, and could only pout angrily and stare at Hajiling, trying to make him have a change of heart with this offensive.
"It's no use, no one can stop my determination to build a harem, not even Jesus could stop me!"
Hajiling, who was immersed in fantasies of enjoying the company of three thousand beauties in the harem, suddenly heard a whooshing sound, followed by a sharp pain in her right cheek, and then lost consciousness.
"Is that all you've got?" The Rover looked at the fallen Hajiling and twisted his wrist. "Want to build a harem? You're still 20,000 years too early."
"Uh, A-Piao, didn't you go a bit too far?" Aemeath asked.
The Rover stared at Aemeath with an expression that said he was looking at an idiot, and could only nod his lips towards the door a couple more times.
Rover: You've knocked everyone out, so do what you want now.
Aemeath understood immediately and quickly carried Xiao Ling back to his room. Don't ask which room yet.
"Well, let's call it a day. A-Yu has fainted..." Aemeath said with an awkward yet polite smile.
"It must be tiring for one person to carry it up to the third floor. Let me lend a hand." Dania offered to help.
Sigrika and Roccia didn't just stand by and watch; they both joined Dania and Aemeath as they went out first.
Seeing that there was no further development, the others said their goodbyes and left the theater.
"Sister, let's go upstairs together." Yangyang didn't question her older sister anymore, but just smiled gently as usual and invited Suisui to go upstairs together.
"Oh... okay." Suisui, who had prepared herself for being questioned by her younger sister, was suddenly a little confused and gave a cute "okay."
Uh... does that mean... this is all over?
"Thank you, Brother Ling. I praise you, Brother Ling," Suisui said silently in her heart.
But favors owed must eventually be repaid; however, when and how to repay them is not necessarily up to her.
