"In another world, there are many who fight for the world..."
The storytelling voice abruptly stopped as Bai Zhi approached.
"Lord Dragon Lord, are you here to hear a story too?"
"You know me?" Bai Zhi asked with interest.
"Of course, as a narrator of a story, one needs sufficient knowledge to transform reality into a paradoxical illusion. Lord Dragon Lord, you came here to hear my story, didn't you?"
The bird's voice was not high-pitched, but rather slightly hoarse, like a bard who had savored many stories.
"You're talking to it?!"
The bookstore owner, who had been standing behind the counter, ran out as if he had seen a ghost.
"How...how did you talk to it?"
"Is this strange?" Bai Zhi was a little confused.
“I’m sorry… This is not surprising… Well, it shouldn’t be surprising. It’s just that Mr. Xiyan has left this bird here for several days, and this is the first time I’ve seen it talk to people on its own initiative.”
"Oh, I just saw it telling stories to a lot of children."
Bai Zhi looked the cage up and down, and a mysterious light shone through it.
"This guy is called Youci. He can tell stories, but I've never seen him initiate any conversations with people, so I thought he could only talk to people one-way."
The short shopkeeper glanced at the birdcage and said.
"Moreover, this bird is very shy. Once the cloth on it is lifted, it will howl like a ghost. If it weren't for the fact that it would tell stories to attract people when it was here, I would have sent it back to Mr. Xiyan long ago."
"You Ci, I've taken care of you for so many days. You've even spoken to this young lady. Why don't you tell me too?" The shopkeeper leaned into You Ci's birdcage and tentatively asked.
But the birdcage fell silent.
286 Fictional History
"Ugh, this stupid bird, it's driving me crazy!!"
Seeing that You Ci remained silent, the shopkeeper stomped his feet in anger.
"Bai Zhilong, would you like to hear me tell a story?"
The birdcage made a sound again.
"Hey, wait a minute, are you the White Angel Dragon Lord?"
Upon hearing You Ci's address, the young shopkeeper looked Bai Zhi up and down as if he had discovered a new continent. He then compared Bai Zhi's image with the one he remembered seeing in the news and exclaimed in surprise.
"I really am, no need to be so surprised and loud."
"Ah, I'm sorry, it's really hard to believe that someone as important as you would come here."
"What's so unbelievable? The general often buys all sorts of junk food in Chang Le Tian, and the diviner also buys Immortal's Happy Tea. What's so strange about me, the Dragon Lord, coming here to play?"
"That's true, but this guy only talks to Lord Dragon Lord. Could it be that he's a snob who only cares about the rich and powerful?"
The shopkeeper looked speechlessly at the birdcage, and then a voice came from it again, "Bai Zhilong, would you like to hear a story?"
Bai Zhi touched her chin, then nodded. "Go ahead and speak."
"This happened a very, very long time ago, when the Immortal Ship escorted the Emperor of the Ancient Kingdom on a tour of the starry sea..."
You Ci's voice began to echo around, and Bai Zhi felt as if she had fallen into a scene the moment the story began.
In a daze, countless enemies surged toward her, and many other things and problems appeared one by one. In a short period of time, she seemed to have experienced many things and fierce battles.
That was the story of a hero from the Immortal Ship, the countless hardships and obstacles that hero encountered on his road to fame.
"And so, the hero of the celestial ship emerged victorious, and his fame once again spread throughout the starry sea... This story ends here."
As he said this, You Ci's voice gradually lowered and finally stopped.
Bai Zhi then moved her arms, seemingly realizing what was happening.
"Why does it feel like a real fight?"
"Ah, that's normal. Lady Baizhi, you can tell from the light coming through this birdcage that this bird is no ordinary bird. When you listen to its stories, you inexplicably feel as if the stories have really happened."
The shopkeeper said from the side.
"Hiss... Did these things really happen?"
Bai Zhi shook her head as the power from the horse talisman cleared her mind.
This fictional power surprised her a little. The story the bird told was very vague, but even so, it made her begin to doubt whether what she had just experienced was real.
If the details were more comprehensive, she might have no doubt that such a history existed.
Just like Gallagher from Pinocchio, he extracted some traits from several real people and was able to create such a fictional being.
"Bai Zhilong, did you enjoy the story I just told?"
"It's talking to you again," the shopkeeper said, looking at Bai Zhi.
"Is Hidden Book Sister there? I want to buy books~"
From the side, shouts from customers could be heard.
"Ah, we have a guest. Never mind, I won't make a fool of myself. You can talk to Youci slowly. I'm going back to work."
After saying that, the young shopkeeper hurried off to talk to the customer.
Bai Zhi looked at the birdcage and asked, "Why did it take the initiative to communicate with me?"
"If the Milky Way were a planet, you would be one of its most important satellites, and your legend would affect the tides of every sea."
"I would like to hear your story, whether it takes place in this starry world or in a faraway place."
“Fictional narratives need real nourishment, and the nourishment you have brought is abundant.”
Accompanied by a faint light, sounds emanated from the birdcage.
"Hmm... Interesting. I can tell you some stories."
After this conversation, Bai Zhi had figured out exactly how to create her own storyline.
My initial idea of starting with fictional narratives was indeed a very good one.
This setting allows you to incorporate your own experiences into the story.
With that in mind, Bai Zhi began to slowly weave together this storyline.
"In another timeline, the Dragon Girl Bai Zhi, born with divine power, experiences countless trials, from being mistakenly transported to the Black Tower Space Station to the Immortal Ship Luo Fu, that have led her to..."
"Wow, this plot... could it be that Bai Zhi's hidden identity is a fictional historian?"
On Earth, players arrive at Youci's birdcage. Accompanied by the gentle narration of a story, they are teleported to specific maps and begin fighting once again as Bai Zhi against enemies they have challenged before.
At the same time, it also features a storyline that is quite different from before.
An IF line thus slowly unfolds.
"Solve the frozen planet, crush Belloborg all the way, then accidentally enter another world, fight a powerful demon god, balance the demonic body, then battle Illusion on the Immortal Ship, and finally become the Dragon Lord and Deputy General."
"This whole journey has been like a template for a wish-fulfillment novel; the fictional narrative... it's really wild!"
After experiencing the storyline and defeating Huanlong, players exclaimed that it was incredibly satisfying.
However, they also started discussing it.
"Hey, although we often use fictional historians as a joke, have you noticed this important point? That is, some NPCs do mention that Bai Zhi is the vice general of the Immortal Ship and the Dragon Lord."
"Could the scenarios mentioned in this story actually be true?"
"After all, there is a similar world setting in Honkai Impact 3rd, such as the World Bubble. There is no reason why there shouldn't be one in this world. So, I put forward a bold idea: perhaps Bai Zhi has obtained her own power from a parallel world."
"Or maybe she's just a time traveler from a parallel world."
"You guys are really focused on the story, but what I'm interested in is that Bai Zhi's two lives are so awesome in the story levels. Not only does her shield become a group shield, but her ultimate skill also restores 40% of her energy if it kills a monster."
One player immediately replied, "Then why don't you say that with 6 lives, the additional attack directly becomes AoE damage, it's practically the Jingyuan ProMax version. After a round of taunting, it directly deals five AoE damages to the Divine Lord, the damage is insane."
"Stop talking, I've already used up 6 lives, I'm having a blast, and I'm focused on becoming invincible in solo play."

"System, how's the plot I wrote?"
Inside the Pill Refining Department, Bai Zhi stretched lazily and asked the system.
[Ding! Overwhelmingly positive reviews!]
The system immediately displayed a notification.
"Oh my, as expected of me, I do have a talent for screenwriting."
Seeing the system notification, Bai Zhi smiled slightly; this was exactly what she had planned.
287 The World of Jackie Chan Adventures
"System, when will you arrange the next world for me?"
Lying in the chair, Bai Zhi asked the system in her mind.
[Ding, please wait for the right opportunity]
"I've been a bit bored lately and am really looking for some fun challenges."
Bai Zhi stretched and yawned. If she had been a little reluctant before, she was now looking forward to the adventures to come.
The main reason is that her previous power was too weak, but now that she has the Divine Lord and the power of several other talismans, she can completely crush most worlds.
"Forget it, let's get some sleep first."
Bai Zhi shook her head, lay back, and closed her eyes.
"Respond to me, Holy Lord..."
Just as Bai Zhi fell asleep, she heard a constant sound coming from beside her ear.
"Who's still telling me not to sleep?"
Unable to bear the disturbance any longer, Bai Zhi let out an annoyed shout and opened her eyes. But immediately, she sensed something was wrong, because what she saw was not the Dan Ding Si's clinic, but a dilapidated cave.
........
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then decisively asked the system, "Have I transmigrated again?"
[Ding, yes, you have triggered the conditions and arrived here, summoned by the Black Mist Wizard.]
Bai Zhi blinked calmly, not at all surprised. She had encountered this kind of thing many times before, so it was no longer surprising.
"So, this world is Jackie Chan's adventure story, right?"
Noticing the term "black magic wizard" mentioned in the system, Bai Zhi promptly asked about it.
Yes, the current world is Jackie Chan Adventures. Your mission is to promote your own reputation as Shendu and use this reputation to construct an identity completely different from the original Shendu. The greater the reputation, the more unique the identity, and the more Dragon Talisman unlock points you will obtain. Similarly, obtaining Shendu Talismans will also grant you unlock points.
Looking at the system notification, Bai Zhi rubbed her chin. "If I understand correctly, now I need to do things differently from the previous Holy Lord in the name of the Holy Lord, and also become as famous as possible?"
Yes, you can now choose your initial identity bonus.
"Oh no, now I really am a fictional historian, and I even have to adopt a completely different identity. If I only wanted fame, I might have even played Homelander."
Bai Zhi complained helplessly.
[The initial identity bonuses you can currently use are: Executive of a global giant corporation, Vidya Dragon Lord]
【Dragon Lord of Wisdom: As the king of the dragon race, you have a powerful suppressive effect on the dragon race. At the same time, you will receive all the strength bonuses of Lord Drinking Moon in the current world, and you can use system points to recruit the Wisdom Clan to come to the current world to provide assistance】
[Executives of global giants: Through capital operations, you can enter into asset contracts or hostile takeovers of institutions, organizations, or individuals, or spend credits to summon loyal company branches to transform the world with the most professional operations and unparalleled loyalty.]
"Hmm... these two identities are really hard to choose between."
Looking at the options popped up by the system, Bai Zhi was caught in a dilemma.
The two identities clearly have different focuses. The Dragon Lord of Wisdom is more focused on strengthening a single target, and even generously grants her power equivalent to that of the Moon Lord, which can be said to be extremely powerful.
Executives of global giants are relatively more civilized and can even spend credits to call on loyal company branches to help them with many things.
