Chapter 542 - Movie Completed
Gamers who were wearing Helmets were transporting building materials to a construction site.
“Construct the scene quickly. We’re running out of time.”
With the help of Mana, the construction of the movie sets was fast. It was quite simple to construct a movie set for an adventure in the Underworld. For example, the Spiders’ Lair could be used directly as a movie set.
The gamers were stationed at the Spiders’ Lair since the first movie scene was carried out there.
“Later on, there’ll be a female Orc lying here, and I’ll release an Underground Spider. Your mission is to kill the Spider before it feeds on the Orc. Our camera will move from there to here.”
Oscar held a script while he pointed at a distant direction.
Oscar pointed in a direction while Moroes nodded. Moroes looked awkwardly at his clothes and asked, “Do I really have to wear these clothes? If I’m adventuring, shouldn’t I be wearing more armor?”
Moroes was wearing a silk robe and the long pants of a medieval noble. He had a black belt at his waist and looked pleasing in terms of his clothing.
But he was unable to fight in this clothing.
“Do you want to wear a tin can? We’re shooting a movie. If you wear armor, how will anyone recognize you? Do you want your wife to look at a tin can? Please be professional. You’re making things difficult for me,” Oscar said grudgingly to Moroes.
Oscar had spent the whole night writing the script, so he wasn’t in a good mood. There were only two days for movie production. Before the start of the Public Beta, he had to complete the movie for Moroes. The time was short, but fortunately, the Underworld terrain provided the movie sets and props. Also, no special effects were required since the gamers could use Mana.
Moroes hesitated, but he listened to Oscar’s suggestion. He wore hilarious clothing and started his career as a movie star.
“Are all units ready? We’re rolling the camera!” Oscar shouted to the gamers behind him.
“Wait, wait. Director, how do I operate this?”
An Orc ran over while carrying a Mana Recording Device. The name of the device was given by the gamers because it used Mana instead of electricity. Its functions were similar to a video camera, which could capture images.
“Hemp Rope Technology taught you so many times. Get Hemp Rope Technology here. He’s the only one who can use it!” Oscar shouted.
The cameraman rebuked, “Don’t you know how to use it?”
“Wah, I spent the whole night writing the script. How would I have the time to learn the Mana Recording Device? Arthur only gave us two days to complete the filming. You’re assigned the mission, so stop complaining!” Oscar said, and all of the gamers prepared for the filming.
“Prepare for the first scene!” Oscar shouted. A female Orc lay down at the designated location.
“Ready!”
Another gamer used a rope to restrain an Underground Spider at the designated location.
“Action!”
The Mana Recording Device started rolling. The female Orc shouted frantically, “Help, help! Who’s going to help me?”
“Cut!” Oscar shouted and walked towards the female Orc as he said, “No, Bro, listen to me. Your acting is too exaggerated. You’re in a Spider’s Cave and not at a plaza. Aren’t you afraid that your shouting will attract more Spiders? No, no. You have to look more terrified and be stifled. Try again!”
Oscar waved his hand while lifting a small card as he said, “First scene, second try!”
Everyone became quiet.
The female Orc laid down. When the Mana Recording Device was focusing on her, she showed a terrified expression. Then she decided to stand up.
“Are you ready?”
On the other side, a director’s assistant said to Moroes, “Later, we’ll release the Underground Spider. Then you’ll charge and rescue the injured Orc. This is a scene of the hero rescuing a damsel in distress. We have completed the preparations. The Underground Spider was seriously wounded and won’t live long. You’ll be able to kill it without much effort.”
“Will she be in danger?”
Moroes was worried about the Orc bait since the scene looked dangerous.
“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine. We have taken precautions.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Moroes nodded nervously. The assistant patted Moroes’ shoulder and shouted, “Now, charge!”
Moroes inhaled deeply and grasped his Short Sword tightly as he charged out. According to the script, when he charged halfway, a Spider would be released. Then Moroes would charge at the camera and shout at the Spider before speaking his dialog to the female Orc. Moroes almost forgot about his dialog. He guessed that he had to say things like “Run!” or “Gosh!”.
That was what Moroes thought.
But accidents would always occur. When Moroes charged out, the Underground Spider ran towards the female Orc and pierced her chest with its claw.
The situation became chaotic.
“What the heck! Didn’t I tell you to remove the legs?”
“Gosh, we removed its legs, but it still ran very fast!”
“It’s hilarious. The actress is dead!”
“Stop gawking! Protect Moroes!”
Several gamers shouted loudly. No matter what, the filming had to carry on……
Moroes hobbled back to his home, utterly exhausted. Whatever the case, he had completed the filming for the day.
