It was definitely more satisfying to choose to dominate the high school scene. Moreover, in a detective drama, to be honest, it wasn't very convenient for him to get involved.
First, he ruled out the first option. Xu Lie looked at the other two dramas, and right from the level of difficulty in the scripts, they both prominently featured extraordinary abilities. In the synopses of the two scripts, one clearly mentioned superpowers, which barely qualified as science fiction, while the other explicitly referred to magic, leaning more towards fantasy.
Superpowers and magic—both terms implied something extraordinary. As for Eagle Knight, there was no need for further explanation; just looking at the title, Xu Lie could tell with his toes that it was a superhero drama. It was nothing more than an endless cycle of sudden mutations, fighting villains, saving people, and then fighting villains again.
The latter title was rather lengthy, so Xu Lie abbreviated it to Ben Huo. It seemed to have a somewhat unique plotline, likely revolving around a passionate young man who faced numerous trials before ultimately reaching the pinnacle of magic.
Both dramas had particularly interesting worldviews. The superhero genre needed no elaboration; aside from mutations, there were also interesting elements like wealthy technology and superpowers. The magical world was also appealing; compared to the somewhat limited scope of mutations and superpowers, magic was evidently more comprehensive.
After this comparison, Xu Lie made his decision: he would take this magical Script World as his base of operations and logistics hub. He once again pulled out Newcomer Suggestions, a book he had purchased after experiencing his first Script World.
Flipping through it, he found a page that stated if company actors had the ability, they were advised to claim valuable Script Worlds for themselves. This could save a lot of resources or Payment points. For example, in the Black and White world he had just experienced, if Xu Lie could rule over the Great Federation, then when he went to act in other Script Worlds later on, he wouldn't need to spend additional points or purchase Tactical Nuclear Weapons from the company.
Taking Tactical Nuclear Weapons from the Black and White world to use in another world would be a great way to save money. However, it required a certain amount of time; after all, ruling a country or even unifying an entire world would demand immense effort and dedication.
Previously, Xu Lie had gone through three Script Worlds that were not particularly valuable and not worth his concern. But now it was different—a mysterious magical Script World lay before him. If he didn't claim it, that would be too regrettable.
He settled on Ben Huo. The company operated with remarkable efficiency; in an instant, they sent over more detailed script details.
As expected by Xu Lie, the Rebellious King was indeed a typical tale. The protagonist was a rural boy named Beric, who had longed to learn magic since childhood. His potential was discovered by an old wizard named Inquilinar, who passed through the village and took him on as a Mage Apprentice.
On their way to the triannual Continental Mage Exchange Conference, Beric learned magic, battled various magical beasts, and encountered other wizards and Mage Apprentices. Along the journey, he made friends, faced rivals, and ultimately gained widespread recognition at the Exchange Conference.
It was all so typical—too typical, in fact. The plot of Ben Huo was one of those traditional stories that adhered to every cliché imaginable, lacking any innovative twists. There were no frills; it was straightforward and earnest, driven by passion as the protagonist shouted about dreams, friendship, and bonds, ultimately achieving his aspirations.
For Xu Lie, it didn’t matter. After all, what he desired was the entire magical world. Beric's experiences—whether traditional or simplistic—were irrelevant to him. Xu Lie craved the whole realm of magic, not just the tale of one Beric.
