As expected, the rain was getting heavier.
Thankfully, Xavier himself possessed elemental power to protect his camera, otherwise the lens would have blurred long ago.
The sky grew darker and darker, as if night had fallen.
In the heavy rain, Zhongli's robes billowed with the wind, as if he was confronting the entire storm.
From Xavier's low-angle perspective, Zhongli appeared even more magnificent and heroic.
"That's right, this is the feeling! Let the storm rage even more fiercely!"
Xavier laughed heartily, thinking about adding some voiceovers later; wouldn't his fans praise him to no end?
But sometimes, accidents always happen so suddenly.
As the filming was in full swing, thunder flashed across the sky.
"I say, Xavier, does he really need to work so hard? He's clearly not short on money, is he?"
Sitting in the pavilion, Hu Tao looked at Xavier like this, somewhat unable to understand.
Yoimiya, however, could understand a bit: "This is called a hobby, just like how I enjoy making crafts and fireworks. It has nothing to do with money."
"Oh, I see! Then I understand, just like how I sometimes like to scare Xiangling, hehe!"
Furina wasn't paying attention to any of this, but rather shrunk her neck.
"This weather is too strange, don't you think? What if lightning strikes down..."
Before Furina could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning actually struck down from the sky.
It hit directly, without deviation, straight towards Zhongli.
Like a rampaging thunder dragon, relentless.
But Zhongli seemed to have anticipated it, and the long spear in his hand materialized, pointing directly at the lightning.
"Crack!"
The thunder was deafening, almost piercing their ears.
But Zhongli remained motionless; with a flick of his spear, he actually pierced straight through the lightning!
Xavier, who was close by, was also stunned. Was it really this exaggerated?
As the lightning was pierced, the spear's power did not stop, entering directly into the clouds.
Xavier, of course, couldn't let such good material go to waste and recorded the entire process.
As that spear strike landed, the sky seemed to have a hole punched through it, and sunlight poured down onto the mountaintop.
"Uncle Zhongli is so amazing, just as amazing as Mom!" Klee bounced up and down.
"As expected of Lord Rock. Good thing I didn't learn from Neuvillette and say anything about judgment, otherwise I'd also be pierced through..."
Furina secretly rejoiced in her heart; this was truly terrifying!
Everyone was shocked by Zhongli's performance, but only Zhongli himself felt a bit melancholic.
He sighed, putting away the long spear in his hand.
He had originally wanted to get along with everyone as an ordinary person, but now this happened.
"Zhongli, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Are you an adeptus or an adeptus's disciple?"
Although Hu Tao was surprised, her attitude towards Zhongli didn't change much.
"The Director overpraises me. I did indeed study some magic with an adeptus, but I only have a slight understanding of it."
Zhongli's answer was very conservative, very humble.
But Hu Tao pouted unhappily: "Slight understanding of everything, you've understood it all..."
"Ahaha, everyone must be hungry, right? Let's find a place for lunch!"
Xavier didn't dare let everyone continue discussing Zhongli, so he quickly changed the subject.
As expected, when food was mentioned, everyone's attention immediately shifted.
Although they were on a mountain, where there were people, there was business.
They found a small restaurant, and the few of them happily ate.
That day's filming journey was quite extraordinary.
Xavier returned home and looked at the footage; even though he had experienced it himself, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
If this were uploaded online, everyone would definitely think it was special effects, right?
However, this was not really special effects, so it would definitely shock them.
Suddenly remembering that he had uploaded Furina's video yesterday, Xavier casually opened it to take a look.
"Lady Furina is actually riding a motorcycle, how cool!"
"I'm crying, don't tell me the person riding the bike is Great Demon King."
"I have an opinion! This is practically a date!"
"Oh oh oh ~ and riding around with Furina, oh oh oh ~ and crossing the bridge together, watching the river view!"
"Damn you, UP, quickly return my car, and Furina!"
The sarcastic army came online, and Xavier felt like he could already see the emojis.
This was normal; everyone would be very envious in this situation, right?
In fact, Xavier had long anticipated this situation; it was nothing out of the ordinary.
After a full day of work, Xavier fell asleep after uploading Zhongli's video.
As for the title, the components were complex:
[This strike pierces the stars!]
During this period, Xavier rarely woke up naturally in the mornings; most of the time, it was due to external factors.
As for the reason he woke up today, it was because his phone was constantly vibrating, with messages coming from WeChat.
Opening it, he saw that Hua Ling and Xiao N had been sending messages non-stop.
Xavier was a bit puzzled; had he been wanted nationwide?
He opened the messages and then understood what was going on.
Hua Ling: Xavier, you're popular again! Quickly watch this video!
Hua Ling sent several messages consecutively, with a video attached below.
Opening Xiao N's messages was pretty much the same, also with a video attached.
However, unlike the previous videos, this time the video seemed to be from an overseas website.
The video opened to a screen full of English, making him dizzy.
And the content of the video was yesterday's filming material of Zhongli.
Below, a bunch of foreigners were jabbering away, and Xavier could only roughly understand some of the comments.
Peter: Oh, my God, this must be Zhongli himself.
Kurt: I swear, this video will definitely go viral globally!
Maria: I'd like to ask everyone, where is the original author of this video from? Do you have a way to find their account?
Only then did Xavier realize that his video had gone viral overseas, and their evaluations were very high.
After all, there were too many coincidences in yesterday's filming, so the quality was exceptional.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to become popular so quickly ~"
To facilitate communication, Xavier pulled Hua Ling and Xiao N into a small group chat and sent this message.
He originally thought it would only be the three of them, but unexpectedly, Xiao N added people one after another, and the small group of three instantly became six people.
[Juhua Hua has joined the group chat]
[Lin Su has joined the group chat]
[Bao Bao has joined the group chat]
Bao Bao: Great Demon King Teacher, I've long admired your name, and I've finally met you!
Lin Su: Bao Bao, don't exaggerate too much, only Hua Ling and Xiao N have met him, okay?
Juhua Hua: Great Demon King, if I may be so bold, do you have my Ei-baby over there? If so, can I cling to her for a bit, eh hehe...
Xavier really wanted to say, your first half was good, but the second half was indeed presumptuous.
If nothing unexpected happened, this group would definitely have more voice actors joining in the future.
"You don't have to call me 'teacher' or anything, just call me Xavier. It sounds less formal that way."
Xavier was ultimately unaccustomed to others addressing him like that, especially since he really wanted to be friends with these few people.
Bao Bao: Alright then, Xavier, so how did you film yesterday's video? I feel like your camera was almost flickering.
Xavier, behind the screen, laughed. Could I tell them that it was real?
