Regarding how to film a tokusatsu drama, Su Tianqing felt she couldn't offer any constructive suggestions.
Actually, I haven't watched many shows in this genre, in fact, quite few – just a few X-Men Riders. Compared to true tokusatsu enthusiasts, I'm practically a newbie.
But who says someone like that can't put on a good show?
Although I have little experience, there is someone right in front of me who is particularly fond of this type of drama and is even trying to participate in the creation!
"Awoo awoo...woo, woo woo woo..."
In a room resembling a cafeteria private room, Xia Jin shoveled several spoonfuls of food into her mouth, two lines of happy tears falling from the corners of her eyes to the corners of her mouth, swallowing them down with the food.
"Waaaaah, finally... finally I can eat normal meals again... I'm so happy, waaaaah..."
"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll contact the Hero Association cafeteria to cook another pot."
The golden-haired fox girl sat at the dining table with a smile, watching Qiu Gui and the others enjoying their meal, and said to them.
Even Chunlan, who was initially quite reserved, completely let loose at this point—from swallowing her saliva and chewing slowly to maintain her composure, to witnessing her teammate Xia Jin take away half of the stir-fried dishes with two chopsticks, she then transformed into a rice-eating machine and began to shovel into her mouth.
Regardless of manners, we're all on the same side. Xin Yuehu and Iris Flower aren't outsiders anymore, so there's no need for any formalities in front of our teammates.
Of course, basic manners are still necessary.
"Haven't you had a proper meal in a long time?" Iris asked curiously.
Qiu Gui, who was shoveling rice into her mouth, nodded repeatedly. In stark contrast to her dazzling idol image on stage, she was full of youthful energy... but more than anything, she felt satisfied after having a full meal.
"Well, because there are no ingredients in my mental world, and after the monster took away half of my control, I couldn't make anything edible, so I can only eat the food I had stored..."
"Don't even mention it! Ever since we got trapped in this mental world, we've been eating nothing but the dry rations we stored in the magic space as a last resort, morning, noon, and night. They're absolutely awful!"
Xia Jin didn't tolerate Qiu Gui's behavior and interrupted her, chattering away and complaining. She even showed Xin Yuehu and Iris Flower the day's worth of leftover rations that she had prepared for lunch and dinner.
The two peeked inside and saw that the packaging bag simply read "[Hero Association Provided Outdoor Self-Heating Rations/One Day's Supply]". Inside were several self-heating packs, a dry ration bag, and half a compressed biscuit that hadn't been finished.
A somewhat impolite question popped into Iris's mind—what kind of experience would lead Xia Jin to store these emergency foods in the magical space?
Based on the information I've gathered, the Hero Association's self-heating rations are generally distributed as emergency supplies to the association's field operations department and disaster relief support teams. They are also distributed to local residents during disaster relief efforts. They have a long shelf life and effectively replenish energy, but the taste and texture...
It won't kill you, but eating too much can make you feel like you have no will to live, just like Xia Jin.
The question that Iris Flower hadn't asked was blurted out by Su Tianqing, who even embellished it:
"Miss Xia Jin, may I ask you a question?" "Go ahead." "Why do you store so many self-heating rations in your magical space? Have you experienced anything similar before?"
At the dinner table, Qiu Gui and the others froze in their eating, even their hands, which were scooping rice from their mouths, stopped in mid-air. The remaining three looked at Qiu Gui, their faces showing painful expressions of recollection of the past.
"This...it's really not a good memory..." Qiu Gui said with a wry smile.
"Come on, luckily I prepared seven days' worth of dry rations, otherwise we would have starved to death in this mental world sooner or later." Xia Jin put another piece of food in her mouth and complained as she chewed.
During the casual conversation at the dinner table, Su Tianqing learned the real reason behind Xia Jin's foresight—
"During our last world tour, Qiu Gui suddenly had the idea to take a few of us to the Gobi Desert to see the stars. I said we could use flying magic to fly above the clouds and see them, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on driving us there."
"We did see the stars, but on the way back, the car broke down and we couldn't move. We were so hungry and thirsty that we didn't have the strength to transform. Luckily, Chunlan had brought a pack of instant noodles and a bottle of drink. She transformed and carried the three of us out of the Gobi Desert all by herself."
Xia Jin spoke with great distress, and Chunlan smiled bitterly without giving much of a response, but she tacitly acknowledged the existence of this matter.
Qiu Gui tried to argue, "I didn't know the car would break down," but she was no match for Xia Jin and Dong Qing's fierce criticism and fell silent instantly, pouting as she ate her food.
"...However, the starry sky that night was definitely the most beautiful we've ever seen."
Chunlan spoke up, instantly pulling the atmosphere at the table back to memories. The team members didn't say anything more and continued to focus on eating.
This meal was arranged by Xin Yuehu in conjunction with the Hero Association. The canteen worked overtime to cook a large table of dishes to reward Qiu Gui and the other three, allowing them to finally have a hot meal after being trapped for many days.
After we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to get down to business.
"Since you've decided to fight alongside Qiu Gui and the others, according to the current rules of this mental world, you need to have your own combined vehicle," Xin Yuehu said earnestly.
Iris nodded seriously and presented her initial hand-drawn design drawings. Although her drawing skills were not as high as those of professionals, it was still evident that she had a unique idea for this kind of fantasy vehicle.
The above is a high EQ statement. A low EQ statement would be "perfectly integrated into Qiu Gui and her team's design segment." It's hard to say whether Qiu Gui and her team gave Iris some unrealistic guidance during the design process.
In short, with the help of Qiu Gui, the controller of the mental world, Iris Flower's vehicle quickly took shape:
It is pure white with a smooth paint finish, painted with the exclusive logo pattern designed by Iris herself, with delicate patterns on the rims, and various parts are decorated with girlish decorations that seem unnecessary.
Especially the armored fighting compartment and that twin-mounted giant cannon... wait, the twin-mounted giant cannon?
"What did you design?" Su Tianqing's eyes twitched slightly as she tentatively asked.
"Senior Qiugui said that the cooler the vehicle, the better, and it should be able to tell at a glance what the vehicle might transform into." Iris gave a thumbs up, full of confidence, "The dual-mounted 510mm cannon has absolutely abundant firepower."
Su Tianqing then turned her gaze to Qiu Gui, who also gave a thumbs-up, the gesture mirroring that of the iris.
...Never mind, I'd better not interfere with their whimsical ideas. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
However, the golden-haired fox girl also silently had her familiar pull up the relevant data of Monster No. 13 and carefully examined its combat power level.
According to the tokusatsu script, the episode in which additional soldiers appear is always an overwhelming victory. There are exceptions, such as special personnel who suffer setbacks in the same episode after being newly formed. Most teams will show excellent combat power after being strengthened.
Let's fine-tune Monster 13's strength a bit. I'm determined to achieve my goal of creating a perfect tokusatsu series in the world of my imagination!
