Section 103

He had actually inadvertently found a reason to [bullshit], [deceive], and [explain away] the situation.

That's right...

Since!

There were only two possible explanations for an [80-year-old withered old man suddenly turning into a fitness coach]—

A. Genetic Weapon.

B. Movie Special Effects.

The first option definitely couldn't be admitted...

Then he could just use [Option B—Movie Special Effects] to explain it!

Although Lin Xian's livestream wasn't filming a movie...

Director Chu Yun was someone who had used short-video platforms like TikTok.

His adorable granddaughter always dragged him along to film those wacky TikTok videos for fun...

Sometimes it was a milk mask effect... making the whole face white.

Sometimes it was an effect that made the mouth very large... giving off a speechless vibe.

There really were many other kinds of effects!

Aside from those funny effects...

There were actually some effects that were [hard to distinguish from reality].

It had to be said...

Current APP software technology was truly too advanced...

His granddaughter had once demonstrated it to him:

Sometimes those female streamers didn't need to wear makeup at all; by selecting a [Makeup Effect] during a livestream, they could instantly get a very beautiful look!

Some streamers who weren't tall or particularly good-looking could choose [Long Leg Effects], [Face Slimming Effects], and so on while streaming...

Sometimes, if his granddaughter hadn't pointed it out, he really wouldn't have been able to tell if these female streamers were using effects!

Because that makeup was so natural, the long leg stretching proportions were very realistic, and the face slimming wasn't exaggerated...

They could completely [pass as real]!

Furthermore, his granddaughter told him... that the boys at her school, when filming short videos... would often go shirtless... and turn on an [Abs Effect] for themselves!

Though it was fake!

But...

The results were very good!

The number of likes would soar!

[Because the result of this effect is so realistic... many people can't tell it's fake at all!]

So now...

Director Chu Yun looked up... at Second Uncle on the big screen, who had turned into a fitness coach, shirtless and bare-chested...

"Heh..."

A chuckle escaped the corner of his mouth.

This reason he had just cooked up...

Could be called per! fect!

...

Laughing?

You actually dare to laugh!?

At this moment, General Mike, standing on the absolute high ground of advantage... had accumulated enough confidence! He wanted to slay the Dragon Kingdom in one stroke!

And at this time...

He actually saw the corner of Director Chu Yun's mouth twitch into a smile!

Anger.

Fury!

General Mike really felt his patience had reached its limit.

He roared like a lion:

"Chu! Yun!"

"Why do you make us wait so long every time I ask you a question! Are you already suffering from senile dementia!?!?"

"I propose that in the future, we set a response time limit... requiring the respondent to answer within the specified time! Otherwise... it will be deemed as forfeiting the debate."

However...

Opposite him, Director Chu Yun chuckled again! He raised his head once more:

"I have Veto Power here... what use is your proposal?"

"Besides... I'm an old man nearly 70 years old... it's normal for my reactions to be a bit slow sometimes. What's wrong with showing some consideration for the elderly? Does it wrong you?"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Director Chu Yun hadn't looked up or spoken for too long just now...

This time!

That familiar smile! It appeared once again.

It directly ignited the entire venue.

The observer gallery erupted in an instant! Discussions broke out everywhere:

"Director Chu Yun! Director Chu Yun! He's showing that familiar crooked-mouth smile again! That confidence, that poise, that calm, that strategic brilliance, that composure finally... appeared once more on the face of this Dragon Kingdom National Defense Agency Director. I think... everyone must have realized what's about to happen, right!? This means... he has once again thought of a reason to fool the US."

"Oh my god! The clothes on my back are soaked with sweat! I was just nervous and afraid... that the Dragon Kingdom and the US would break down in today's meeting... and then directly trigger a world war. After all, Lin Xian is now the super genius the Dragon Kingdom values most! They will definitely not let the US take him to a military court!"

"Exactly, the Dragon Kingdom is too powerful now! Even if it's truly determined that Lin Xian is researching Genetic Weapons and has committed crimes against humanity... I bet! Even if all the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces are mobilized to capture Lin Xian! The Dragon Kingdom's Navy and Air Force... will definitely not let those troops step a single foot into their territory! Protecting Lin Xian... is as important to the Dragon Kingdom's military regions as protecting the national territory."

...

A victory in momentum!

Then he must press the advantage.

Without waiting for General Mike's urging...

Director Chu Yun stepped forward!

With an aura of 'Though thousands of enemies stand before me, I shall go forth!', he walked toward General Mike!

As he walked, Director Chu Yun said to Mike in a very relaxed and surprised tone:

"Mr. Mike... you must rarely watch internet livestreams, right?"

Ugh...

Mike didn't speak.

One reason was that he didn't know the purpose of Director Chu Yun's question.

The second was... he indeed never watched those boring internet livestreams!

Seeing Mike's silence as an admission.

Director Chu Yun smiled friendly, then shook his head regretfully:

"No wonder! That's why I felt a bit surprised... why you were so neurotic and hysterical just now."

"The internet today is very exciting! Especially in the fields of short videos and livestreams... you really should learn more about them."

"Come on, let me film a few interesting little videos for you right now!"

Saying so...

Director Chu Yun directly took out his phone and projected the screen onto the big screen behind him.

Then he opened TikTok, pointed the camera at Mike, and clicked on the effects below one by one—

First was the Ru Hua effect! On the big screen, Mike's features disappeared, replaced by a scruffy Ru Hua face.

The entire room burst into laughter!

Next was a double eyelid effect. It had to be said that AI and video technology were truly advanced... for a moment, it was hard to tell if these double eyelids were real or fake!

The whole room was puzzled!

Then, a crying face effect. This one was even better! The AI directly simulated General Mike's crying features... if one didn't know it was an effect, it would be impossible to see the trick!
