Chapter 819 - 531: Mechanism City [01] Buddha Descends from the Heavens

"The emblem at the end looks a bit familiar?"

"Hmm?"

Clement Winter curiously examined the bamboo flute in his hand.

LY.

He had seen this mark before but never knew what it meant, so he pointed at it and asked, "This one?"

"Yes!" Valeria Young nodded, "I think it’s the emblem Julian Linfield typically uses when making bamboo flutes?"

"Is that so?"

Though Clement Winter was surprised, he quickly accepted it and handed the bamboo flute back to Nora Scott.

He knew of Julian Linfield and was aware of his status in the music circles and the rarity of the bamboo flutes he made. However, to him, Nora Scott was omnipotent, and unlike Valeria Young, he never suspected Nora Scott of "faking it" at first glance.

Seeing Clement Winter’s lack of cooperation, Valeria Young unconsciously bit her teeth, a bit resentful.

The others didn’t know much about Julian Linfield, let alone the bamboo flute emblem, and didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

After a brief silence, Valeria Young, unwilling to give up, proactively asked Nora Scott: "Nora, do you know Mr. Julian Linfield?"

Nora Scott glanced at her indifferently.

Valeria Young felt a chill run down her spine.

"Take it."

Ignoring Valeria Young, Nora Scott handed the bamboo flute to Oliver Scott, who immediately took it.

Valeria Young thought to herself: Avoiding direct response; could it be fear of being exposed by netizens, feeling guilty.

Ha.

All fame is indeed a persona.

Usually acting so pretentious.

Just then, an eagle’s cry pierced the sky, startling everyone as it approached rapidly from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a majestic eagle soaring beneath the starry night sky, diving swiftly towards their group. The eagle, with a wingspan of over a meter, approached menacingly, making everyone’s hearts skip a beat in shock.

"Damn!"

"Run!"

"Oh my God!"

...

The staff was in a panic.

Yet, Marcus Shaw was surprisingly stunned, while Oliver looked delighted.

When everyone thought the eagle might cause chaos, they heard a whistle, and Nora Scott lazily stood up, raised her right arm gently, and the eagle immediately stopped, extended its talons, and firmly perched on Nora Scott’s arm.

Everyone: "..." Already kneeling.

Around them, silence prevailed.

The eagle perched with grandeur on Nora Scott’s arm, folding its wings obediently, leaned its head affectionately against Nora, leaving no trace of its wild nature, yet the previous aura of untamed majesty still lingered in their minds.

One person and one eagle stood by the bonfire.

They captivated every eye.

"Sister! Is it the one?!"

Seeing this, Oliver Scott, who was playing with the bamboo flute, grew excited, quickly rummaged through his backpack for his phone, and pointed at the phone case to inquire of Nora Scott.

When he spoke, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn, and they followed the sound, seeing his phone case, which left them momentarily bewildered.

???

Young man, can you keep that sister complex in check?

But simultaneously, they couldn’t help but envy his phone case’s eyeliners, with some secretly thinking—Is there a similar case available on the market?

With the left hand holding yellow and the right carrying blue, Nora Scott exuded a gallant presence, oozing charisma, with an overpowering sense of allure that transformed into a magical grip around the throat, making people’s hearts race.

"Yes."

Nora Scott gently stroked the eagle and introduced nonchalantly: "It’s called ’Buddha’."

"Wait," Nelson licked his lips, feeling dizzy and incredulous as he asked, "You even raise an eagle?"

"I don’t." Nora Scott glanced at him sideways, "Just got familiar with it."

—’Buddha’ was a birthday gift to Little Senior Sister from someone. Before going abroad, she left it with me, and upon returning, she was still too busy, so she hasn’t come to retrieve it yet. But ’Buddha’ should be in Anchel, so how come it’s here?

Moreover, it’s here just at the right time.

Gotta ask Benjamin Durant what’s going on later.

Nelson: "..." Too many questions, not sure how to start.

Andrea squinted and deliberately asked, "This eagle has always lived here, and you got familiar with it here?"

!!!

An innovative way to act cool and stylish, it’s obvious to anyone—that this scene, if broadcast, would cause quite a sensation among the audience.

However, how could this incident be a coincidence?

It’s never that simple.

It must be scripted, something specially arranged by the production team for Nora Scott.

—Thus, it’s evident her team behind her is truly amazing, with many ideas and creativity, always hitting the audience’s sweet spots, making seemingly coincidental yet deliberate arrangements, making it hard for Nora Scott not to become famous.

No wonder, without any works, just relying on two variety shows, she is at the peak of the entertainment industry.

Nora Scott anticipated her thoughts, smirked slightly, and didn’t explain. She just lightly asked back, "Do you think I’m unfamiliar with this place?"

Andrea was taken aback.

"Let’s go."

Nora Scott turned her head and said a word to Buddha.

Buddha seemed to understand, rubbed against Nora Scott again, then spread its wings, let go of her arm, flew into the sky, circled overhead twice, and then left.

...

After the segment was done, this episode’s recording ended in a very strange atmosphere, and finally wrapped up.

However, just as Nora Scott was about to leave, the show’s director approached her to ask if she could film another short clip with the eagle the next day.

"It would be a very short introduction, probably just one or two hours to finish. That scene just now was really stunning and fit so well with the Northwest environment. Filming a separate segment would definitely be loved by many viewers." The director rubbed his hands, "The price can be discussed."

Nora Scott thought for a moment and quickly said, "Okay."

The director, who initially thought he was pushing her too much and had prepared a pile of scripts in his mind, blinked in surprise and was too shocked to say anything else.

"See you tomorrow."

The three words reached his ears, and when he looked up again, Nora Scott had already left with Marcus Shaw and the others.

As soon as she left, other staff members gathered around and asked the director if the negotiation had failed.

"At Nora Scott’s current level, participating in our show already means she’s lowering her status. And the price is so low."

"Nora Scott is known for being confrontational online, so I’ve always thought she’s hard to deal with. I really see her in a new light this time. Director, she’s good enough."

"It’s okay, just the segment we recorded is enough. They’ve been on the road for six days and are exhausted, so it’s understandable if they don’t agree."

...

Without exception, they all praised Nora Scott.

Not saying that Nora Scott doesn’t act like a diva, always giving them surprises, very reliable. Just during the unexpected incident this afternoon, she was the only one who took the initiative to jump down the slope to save someone, which earned their sincere admiration.

Saying Nora Scott isn’t... then they asked themselves: Do they even deserve to say that?

Director: "She agreed."

"Huh?"

"You only talked for a couple of minutes, and she agreed?"

"Did she mention how much more to add to the payment?"

...

Director: "...She didn’t mention the price."

Everyone: "..."

After a brief pause, they exchanged glances and then gathered together.

"I’ll follow her on Weibo and join her fan club now."

"Is it still in time to become her fan now?"

"I’m going to post a comment on those anti-her threads on MOOH, who’s with me?"

...

Everyone was in high spirits, chattering away.

*

Valeria Young, Andrea, and Nelson left overnight. Clement Winter, Nora Scott, Marcus Shaw, and Oliver Scott didn’t have other plans, so they walked together to the accommodation arranged by the show.

On the way, Clement Winter was the most excited, asking questions about Buddha over and over.

Nora Scott didn’t mind Clement Winter’s inquisitiveness, openly telling him about Buddha’s origins, which sparked his curiosity about Nora Scott’s little senior sister.

Clement Winter, full of curiosity, excitedly asked, "Then how is it here, and if we want to see it, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott both looked at Nora Scott, obviously having the same question.

When they saw the photo that Miguel Smith sent, they were impressed by Nora Scott’s heroic posture, but there wasn’t much else to feel. After all, they hadn’t had any actual contact with an eagle, so it didn’t feel real.

Until they saw it with their own eyes just now—

A sense of thrill spread all over their bodies.

You can’t feel it without seeing it firsthand.

"I don’t know how it’s here, but if you want to see it—"

With a casual smile at the corner of her lips, Nora Scott bent her fingers to her lips and softly said, "Like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, she blew a whistle.

The three instinctively looked up at the vast, boundless night sky.

—Nora Scott never disappoints.

In just a few seconds, they heard an eagle’s cry and then saw the familiar eagle spreading its wings and flying from a courtyard of a house not far away, heading straight toward them.

Their eyes all lit up.

Just then—

The courtyard gate was opened, and a person rushed out, swearing, "Who’s walking around whistling at night—"

Mid-sentence, he stopped abruptly.

Benjamin Durant rubbed his hands, a shy smile emerging on his face, and changed the topic immediately, "Uncle Master, you’re out for a walk at night too? Oh wait, what are you doing here? Little brothers are here too!"
