Chapter 1 : Sightseeing and Entertainment
This is Qiyuan City, the origin of various renowned entertainment works.
Many famous movies, anime, games, and more are produced here, hailed as a holy land for entertainment enthusiasts.
Numerous enthusiasts intersect here due to these elements, forming lively large-scale consumer groups.
Many people even treat this place as a residential area, not leaving a step, eating, drinking, and living here.
In short, this is a very popular place.
Meanwhile.
Ye Xing, Kong Yubai, and Lian Hua arrived at a nearby entertainment district, strolling around to observe and gather information.
"Oh~ So this is one of Qiyuan City's entertainment districts? It seems quite nice."
Ye Xing looked around curiously. If not for her two companions, she would have wanted to run around everywhere to explore.
Kong Yubai was also observing.
"Ye Xing, this seems to be the film and television entertainment district."
"Hm? Film and television entertainment district? Does that mean it's related to film and TV types?"
"Yes."
Come to think of it, this city's entertainment districts are not comprehensive like Yunzhang City's, but are finely divided.
For example, Qiyuan City's five entertainment districts correspond to film and television, music, games, food and drink, and books and paintings, respectively.
The entertainment district where Ye Xing and her companions are is related to film and television, involving movies, anime, video creation, etc., which are mainstream here.
Although there are other entertainment-related elements here, they are very few compared to film and television elements, only serving as accessories to fill gaps.
"Hmm~ Film and television? I quite like watching anime, and I also like good movies."
Ye Xing is an old otaku loli.
Whenever she has free time, she would watch anime or movies to pass the time, which is a good choice for slacking off.
"Hmm~ I seem to have come to this city for a concert before," Kong Yubai said softly, with a clear memory in her mind.
Being a famous diva allows for tours between various cities, and Qiyuan City was one of the cities she toured.
At that time, she had activities in this city's music entertainment district, which was a very pleasant memory. She wondered if it had changed now.
Ye Xing was a bit surprised to hear Kong Yubai's words.
"Eh? What a coincidence?"
"It's not really a coincidence. Actually, I've been to more than half of the cities in this country, and even abroad. If you randomly pick a city, there might be a record of my presence."
"Wow~ So amazing!" Ye Xing looked at her admiringly.
World divas are indeed legendary figures. Unlike her, this little otaku loli who had never been anywhere, if not for suddenly awakening her Star, she would probably have just stayed in one city.
Ah~
Ye Xing let out a soft sigh and looked at Lian Hua beside her, finding her a bit uninterested.
"Lian Hua, are you not interested in this place?"
"A bit... I don't know if people here like puppet shows."
She is Lian Hua, the Puppeteer who loves puppet performances, and she wants more people to like what she loves.
This is the technique passed down from her mother, and also the art performance Lian Hua inherited.
Art only has greater meaning when recognized by the world.
She doesn't seek to become mainstream worldwide, just hopes that people still remember this ancient form of performance.
Of course, this can't be achieved in a short time.
Now Lian Hua just wants to participate in activities with the troupe and Ye Xing, and slowly realize this goal~
"Does Ye Xing like it here?" Lian Hua asked casually.
"Mm, I'm interested in many things here, after all, these are things I often use to pass the time."
Ye Xing replied while looking at the map, seemingly trying to memorize the entire city's structure.
Of course, she was also looking at the overall route of the film and television entertainment district to avoid getting lost later.
"Hmm~ Hmm~ Let's go in this direction next!"
After looking at the map, Ye Xing pointed in a direction, seeming to have a purpose.
There must be something that attracted her attention.
Kong Yubai and Lian Hua had no objections and quietly followed behind her.
The three of them strolling around like this seemed quite nice, just like normal girlfriends shopping together.
A while later, Ye Xing arrived at another area of the film and television entertainment district.
This area was all about anime and manga, the main stage for anime and manga films and TV.
"Wow wow wow~"
Ye Xing observed the surroundings with great interest.
The surrounding buildings had many anime character images, the electronic screens were playing classic scenes from various anime, along with various PVs and the like, creating a full anime atmosphere.
There were also quite a few like-minded people here, apparently all fans of anime culture.
Ye Xing rarely came to such places. She didn't have time when she was working before, and later she just didn't want to go out.
Now that she happened to come here by chance, she wanted to have a good look around to satisfy her curiosity.
Kong Yubai glanced around and quickly understood what the mainstream here was.
"Does Ye Xing like anime?"
"Mm... I guess so. When I have time, I really like watching anime. It's perfect for slacking off."
Admitting this was actually a bit embarrassing.
Especially in front of girls.
Kong Yubai didn't say anything, but smiled and said, "Then lead us on a tour. I want to understand what Ye Xing likes."
Lian Hua beside her also raised her hand.
"Me too. If I know what Ye Xing likes, I can create better puppet shows."
"Ah, this... why does it feel even more embarrassing...?" Ye Xing's face turned slightly red, her heart stirred by these words.
It felt like a confession, making her feel shy.
Then, the three began to stroll around this area, only stopping to observe when they saw something interesting.
During this process, the three had happy smiles on their faces, seemingly enjoying this joyful leisure time.
Even though the three's appearances easily attracted people's attention, they weren't disturbed by anyone.
Kong Yubai's existence interference was just right, reducing the three's unique existence to the level of ordinary people, even hiding their aura.
Now, probably only Star holders could detect any anomaly.
Although there were many people playing in this district, Star holders weren't common, so it was unlikely to just happen to see Ye Xing and the others.
Even if there were Star holders among this group of people, unless they were too professional, they would probably quickly ignore them.
Only professional Night Watchers would constantly pay attention to various abnormal situations, including unfamiliar Star holders seen during patrols.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Among the pedestrians on the street, there was a girl staring at Ye Xing and her two companions.
She wasn't a Night Watcher, just an ordinary student.
However, she possessed a Star.
"What a rare combination, two cute lolis and a beautiful young woman. If they were cosplaying, it would definitely be great. Should I go talk to them?"
This girl fell into deep thought, deciding to put aside her idea of buying merchandise and chose to follow and observe these three people.
Although it seemed a bit like stalking, she wanted to get to know them.
Actually, she could tell at a glance that these three girls weren't normal people, probably the same kind as her.
Since they were the same kind, there should be topics to discuss.
She wanted to find an opportunity to get to know them, that's all.
