Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1941  JODE Promotional Video

When the video came to life, everyone was astonished by the backdrop of the entire auditorium. They never expected that it was possible to follow such a high tech gimmick from the US to China so easily especially when there were reports that stated the equipment could not be fabricated easily by the rest due to its proprietary rights and thus the visual effects achieved by it would be a cut from the rest.

Yet in this school instance, Jin had installed this screen as if it was just another equipment that the school might need. Everyone was undoubtedly being blown away by this magnificent display and all took the opportunity to take a video of it.

Even Ma Ge was genuinely surprised by it and initially thought that Jin had purposely increased the price of the IT equipment as a way to markup and earn more money. In his mind, he honestly thought how nice can a huge screen be?

Now that he saw it in action, he understood that the money was extremely well spent. But what he did not know was that Jin did still earn money from it. (Lots of it in fact. That pesky dungeon supplier knew that he would still be rolling in cash because it was something that their finance team would not understand until they saw it first hand.)

And as for the video, the JODE management too had initially wanted to play a standard video but Grandma Yuan rejected that idea. It was poorly made with no standard and for it to be aired for the entire row of national media reporters to view. It was unacceptable.

That was why Kiyu had been called in to make the video and even got Grandma Yuan's four disciples into the development of the promotional video. And considering how the four disciples already knew about the System, it was easy to use them to get the production of the video going.

But they never expected that Kiyu, being so carefree from their daily interaction, would be such a devil for details. If not for Grandma Yuan's training, they might not have known that the traits they had earned such as perseverance and determination would be tested to the extreme.

There were hundreds of cuts and retakes because Kiyu was not satisfied with their performance. Even a little wrong movement would cause Kiyu to patiently say let's do a redo. The odd thing was that Kiyu was never mad. Her face always gives the empathetic: I understand that you are tired but one more try, okay? There was little to no shouting from her making her look like she was a goddess that had descended.

But it was not the same for the people acting. The disciples eventually got tired and they grumbled as everything could have gone smoothly since the System had the capability to make video cuts easy but Kiyu denied that kind of capability. She wants it to be done without any recuts. It was a full dynamic experience.

When Lian had enough, she literally went towards Kiyu for an explanation and Kiyu decided to let the four disciples show what she meant when she played the video for them. At first, it looked normal but it was only later when Kiyu requested them to put chi into their eyes that the JODE Exorcists realised the difference.

The chi flow could be seen in the video and that was the difference between the video taking that Kiyu had always been taking compared to normal video cameras or phones. "You cannot cut and paste the chi flow, it will be unnatural," Kiyu explained as she showed a video that she casually edited to show the difference.

They immediately understood what she meant as the JODE Exorcists could see the chi was stagnant in the re-edited cuts compared to the flowery flow that the one full takes will portray.

"It might not seem like much to the public eyes, but what if you are a high grade cultivator? To them, it's an insult and it shows incompetence in the JODE exorcists because of these recuts. If you get what I mean." Kiyu exclaimed and the JODE exorcists finally understood the consistent recuts were for what purpose. But even when they understood, it was a different thing to actually redo the cuts especially when it takes a lot from them when Kiyu had a lot of demands.

That was why when those four JODE exorcists finally saw the final video, it was no surprise that the girls simultaneously had a drop of tears coming out of their eyes because of the efforts they had made to make this would never be shown to the public. Just joking! They were mostly delighted that Kiyu did justice to their efforts. The video was simply breathtaking and the video wall that Jin copied had enhanced that effect to twice the amount, making it an unforgettable opener for the audience watching it. Like a music video, it depicted JODE exorcists going through the school premises as if they were a brand new student and how they went through their studies which subsequently lead to their promotion exams. Through that four minute videos, it showed the various extra curriculum activities they could potentially participate and Kiyu was also not hesitant to show a dungeon instance club where the main four Demon Exorcists took part together to fight against monsters within the Dungeon Instance both individually as well as a team. For the individual portion, there was no acting as Kiyu purposely took the footage where Rong and Lian went through the Dark Days Dungeon Instance. It was some sort of compensation for Rong too as he was supposedly the first person to clear the Dark Days Dungeon and yet because of his employee status, that privilege to be announced as the first player had been forfeited. In addition, his first clear video could never be distributed to the public as he was part of the employee's store. Clearly, Kiyu knew of that and decided to take the initiative to put him into this video. This will eternally be the glimpse of his first clear footage to every new aspiring JODE student who comes in. And for that, Rong too had that drop of tear going through his face.

Once the video had been presented, the morale of the audience improved drastically. As they had glimpses of the school from the video, all of them could not wait to get out of this auditorium to learn more about it. At that moment, the emcee who took over had started with some administrative issues.

It was initially planned to have the grand headmistress Yuan take the stage after the video but they seem to have underestimated the crowd that came in. Of course, since this was a dimensional instance, Jin was able to achieve the impossible. He had temporarily increased the auditorium space even though the size from the outside was still static. But when that happens, it takes a considerable amount of resources that was unrealistic to hold for an extended period of time. That was why the Grand Headmistress's address to the students had been postponed later while the JODE chancellor and his team dealt with the parents and mass media that came to view the place.

And in order to do so, the emcee had begun to put up the ID numbers of the students on the video wall and those names that had been flashed on the wall would step out to meet with their representatives to go to their classrooms for attendance taking. Most of the representatives were their homeroom teachers but considering some of the teachers were also handling the backend support for the subsequent mass media cum parents tour, there were substitutes within the representatives too.

This way, the JODE Chancellor and Grand Headmistress can privately address questions to the mass media as well as any questions from the concerned parents who think that this dimensional instance would not be a permanent arrangement.

As for the students, instead of the concern, they were more interested in looking at the school and what it has to offer. After all, some of them are going to stay more than three years and wanted to know first hand what this place has. But more importantly, they like to know who their teachers are.

So, each of the students had found their group, and about 50% of the groups were elated that they had been paired with a teacher they knew from their old school/ training centres. The other 50 were a little lost since everything looked extremely new to them. Some were elated they managed to jump grade and others were dejected that they had to be relegated to a more basic level. Yet, this did not linger in their minds for long as the interest to learn more about the school was currently their first priority. Amongst those representatives were also the four disciples that were shown in the video and those students in their groups were excited to see such terrific seniors to be their guides.

Some of them asked if it was really possible to wield such crazy powers through training and the disciples cautiously acknowledged their queries. "Heh, you will judge whether we are terrific when we have that talent showcase later at the stadium," Rong said as he knew that the students would be in for a treat during the tour. "Yeah, the talent showcase will definitely blow your mind. Literally." Lian said as the two group representatives confirmed their groups before they led them to their classrooms.
