What else could be done? So in the end, he decisively passed on it.
What also got vetoed was the scene where he was ambushed and counter-killed by the Demon Ghost. It didn't make the cut. Not only was it too embarrassing, but also too gory; even his clothes were torn to shreds by the end, with all sorts of bloody and revealing elements. It probably wouldn't pass the review.
The battle in the latter part against the Horse-headed Ghost was the same, as the bloody scene was too shocking.
After completing these, Gu Mo uncertainly clicked the share icon at the bottom right corner.
Then…
A new pop-up appeared at the center of the interface in his view, displaying a line of text—"Uploading," with a circle icon below that seemed to represent the network, spinning continuously. Gu Mo was stunned for a moment; did the upload start directly just like that?
Shouldn't there be more detailed steps to proceed?
Of course, his doubts received no response, and the pop-up remained the same. The circular icon kept spinning and spinning, even attempting to close the page couldn't stop it. Opening it again resulted in the same situation, and Gu Mo couldn't help but sigh. For now, he could only patiently wait for the process to complete...
However —
As more than ten minutes passed, nothing changed, and his expression gradually froze. Is this the dumb system glitching out again?
Currently, there's no good solution; he could only keep calm and wait for another half hour. In total, it's been over an hour, yet the interface hadn't changed—it still looked the same, couldn't be closed, and the operation hadn't completed.
"Gah! What a waste of feelings…" Gu Mo didn't know if he should feel disappointed or subconsciously relieved, but he had no means to deal with the interface staring back at him.
It seemed the dumb system really got stuck on this little issue, impossible to imagine how many bugs this thing had. He couldn't find a restart button and didn't dare to test if logging out might solve the problem. Ultimately, all he could do was stare back at it.
Forget it, I'll check again tomorrow.
It was that late already; he should take a break...
After struggling for a while longer, still clueless how to solve this, Gu Mo could only grit his teeth. He glanced at the current time and saw it was almost 3 a.m. He hadn't slept since returning and had used his Guardian Spirit's powers numerous times, not long ago consumed energy making about ten Curse Talismans.
Plus, he pulled an all-nighter editing the video, and even with his spiritual attribute, he felt extremely fatigued. If he didn't rest soon, he might drop dead.
He quickly washed up, then hurled himself onto the bed.
This time, Gu Mo didn't need any secret incense from an Onmyoji to fall into a sweet slumber quickly.
......
The next day, near noon.
Gu Mo woke up only now, lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, still a bit dazed. He instinctively thought he should still be in Lushan City, why did the room look like this… After a moment of confusion, he snapped back to reality.
Sitting up in bed, he stretched hard and recalled the previous events, then he jumped out of bed barefoot and went to the half-length mirror on the room's cabinet, opening the system interface against the mirror, then discovered everything had stopped.
The pop-up had vanished; the circular icon was gone and not spinning indefinitely. The only thing left was a label showing at the bottom left of the previously edited file.
—"Upload Complete."
He pursed his lips, then opened his email to check the system log, finding the latest entries:
"%¥#@&…upload confirmed, permission verified, init…preparations…"
"$#%&@…searching default channel…locking onto %¥#@&…signal…"
"Locked…%¥#@&…sent to 27,658 coordinates, transmitting intelligence…"
"Transmission complete."
......
Basically, that's how it was.
As there had always been garbled issues in the log records, Gu Mo was a bit confused, but he was startled because of the number that appeared inside.
It seemed the recipients were more than 27,000? If he didn't misunderstand…
No way, what international joke is this? Could it be the reason the upload stalled for so long last night was because of this? Did the dumb system go haywire and hijack all the networking platforms in the real world? Gu Mo felt his scalp tingling, he immediately rushed back to his computer desk to sit down.
Turned it on, quickly opened the browser, and entered keywords to search.
Nothing.
Entered again, searched again, still nothing. At least the push notifications couldn't be seen, whether searching keywords directly or viewing today's real-time hot news. He went through several pages yet saw nothing related.
"Huh, wait, this is…"
At this moment of intense anxiety, Gu Mo finally saw a familiar search result, precisely the title of the file he uploaded—
"Heroes of the World, Only Ah Xiu and Mo Worth a Mention"...
Umm... This was his playful custom title. Mainly, after reviewing the finished product, he realized that whether in reality or in the edited footage, he hadn't really played any significant role, so he mocked himself with humor amid hardship.
