Chapter 9
Hoshika Nana's Shock! The First Trailer Takes the Internet by Storm!

Cast List for this Chapter: Hoshi-nai Yume-no - Kurama Nemuri.

————

While Lin Feng was fully engaged in filming the main story for Amazons,

the PV trailer he casually uploaded online caused an unexpected stir.

As a social media influencer,

Hoshi-nai Yume-no had been making videos with her brother since she was young,

enjoying considerable popularity online,

and her livestreams were very open and unrestrained,

treating her fans like friends.

At this time,

she started her daily livestream,

eating something while searching the internet for interesting content to watch and chat about with her viewers.

After browsing through the trending videos for a while, she didn't find any high-quality new content,

and the melodramatic romance series she loved the most hadn't updated,

leaving her a little uninspired.

With no other options, she chose her second favorite genre:

food videos.

Hoshi-nai Yume-no was a big foodie herself,

and many of her online videos were about exploring restaurants, reviewing food, and so on.

Just as she was about to randomly click on a food video she liked before, a message from a super fan popped up in her DMs,

along with a link and a message:

"This year's most satisfying food video, no contest! Don't miss it! You'll regret it!"

Curious, Hoshi-nai Yume-no clicked the link,

and discovered that the video had already made it to the homepage of the food channel's trending section.

A video with a strange cover style, contrasting sharply with the usual healing, bright aesthetic of other food videos, caught her attention.

【The Cute Little Monster Who Loves Protein, Masked Rider Amazons, Appears!】

"Masked...Rider? Amazons? What is this?"

She muttered to herself, glancing at the comments on the computer next to her,

and saw her fans asking the same question.

"Whatever, I'm bored anyway, let's take a look."

However,

as she clicked on the video,

a flood of comments began to appear on the screen as soon as the video started.

【Warning: High Energy Ahead!】

【Warning: Nuclear Energy Ahead!】

【Who the hell told me this is a food video?! I'm going to eat your brains!】

【Pilgrimage Site!!! Finally, a movie from our celestial kingdom that's not a melodramatic romance!】

【Warning to all viewers who click on this video, be prepared!】

While Hoshi-nai Yume-no was still wondering what they were talking about, the video's background music began to feel unsettling to her.

The low, droning hum made her feel a little creepy, and some text appeared on the black screen:

【Next, we begin capturing the 4,000 Amazons on this street...】

Then, the next second,

in a factory,

a roar echoed,

and an arm was flung into the air,

black blood spraying out like a fountain, even the camera blurred.

At that moment,

Hoshi-nai Yume-no, sitting in her chair, went pale,

completely flustered,

and she finally understood what the comments at the beginning of the video meant.

"No, no!!!"

Hoshi-nai Yume-no quickly pressed the pause button, her expression dazed, and looked at the comments in the livestream with bewilderment.

"This can be called a food video?!"

However,

the reaction of the fans in the livestream was quite different from hers.

【Holy crap! He just ripped off his arm!?!?!】

【So violent, so bloody?! Give me a minute! I'm going to get a bucket of popcorn!】

【My skin is crawling! I'm going to get some rice! Wait for me, streamer!】

【Of course it's a food video (laughs). Streamer, just tell us if it makes you hungry or not?】

【Streamer, keep playing! I want to see what happens next in the video!】

【Move aside, streamer, we want to watch the video!】

【I've got the rice ready, you told me to pause?】

【......】

Hoshi-nai Yume-no twitched her lips,

thinking about closing it down directly,

but glanced at the viewership count in the upper right corner of the livestream, which had skyrocketed to several times its previous level.

She forced herself to swallow her fear and clicked the play button,

but

the satisfying images that followed,

came one after another.

Ripping out hearts with bare hands, biting necks, decapitation, long spears skewering three enemies!

After a series of highly impactful scenes,

the video finally went black,

and a name slowly appeared on the screen,

Masked Rider Amazons.

Thus,

the short one-minute-plus video ended,

and just as the fans in the livestream were still wanting more, Hoshi-nai Yume-no, who had been sitting in her chair, covering her eyes and not daring to watch, suddenly saw a familiar figure at the end.

It was the protagonist, Takayama Jin, standing in the forest, putting on the Amazon Driver, about to transform.

It was this fleeting glimpse,

that made Hoshi-nai Yume-no, almost subconsciously, replay this brief trailer several times.

Of course, it wasn't because her tastes suddenly changed,

but because she felt the actor playing Takayama Jin was familiar.

"Could this be...Lin Feng?!"

Hoshi-nai Yume-no was stunned for a moment,

then immediately opened the video's description to find the cast list.

She didn't have to look further, the entire livestream exploded!

【Holy shit, the director, screenwriter, and stunt coordinator are all the same person?!?!】

【What kind of workshop is this god-director, god-screenwriter from? I need to go support them!】

【Didn't you see the name? It's Lin Feng. But it doesn't seem to be a workshop, the production company is the red-hot Donyo Central Company.】

【What?! A Donyo Central project? Really? Didn't that company almost go bankrupt?】

【Holy crap! I just checked, the current shareholder of Donyo Central is this Lin Feng!】

【Where did you see that? I need to check it out too!】

【It's on Weibo, their official account also announced this new project, the genre is tokusatsu!】

【If it's Donyo Central, I might need to hold back my judgment, this company has too much baggage.】

【But I have to say, this is the show I'm looking forward to the most this year!】

【......】

Hoshi-nai Yume-no quickly opened Weibo,

and at this time, the top three trending topics were all about Masked Rider Amazons.

The fourth one was related to Donyo Central Company and Lin Feng,

she clicked on it,

and looking at the full-body photo in front of her,

Hoshi-nai Yume-no confirmed it,

it was her classmate,

Lin Feng!

"He really went into filmmaking, and, he's making something so special..."

In school,

Hoshi-nai Yume-no knew Lin Feng, they would chat occasionally,

back then he seemed more like a flippant rich kid,

always saying that if he had the chance, he would change the current situation where melodramatic romance series were rampant,

but in reality, he was either eating, drinking, or playing,

so Hoshi-nai Yume-no thought Lin Feng was just talking big,

but she never thought,

that one day he would actually do it,

and, it seemed like he had already achieved it?

For a moment,

many complex thoughts and emotions rose in Hoshi-nai Yume-no's heart.

Meanwhile,

Lin Feng, who was in the middle of filming,

was oblivious to the storm brewing in the outside world.

They were now in the forest outdoors,

filming the final action scene of the first episode.

Lin Feng was playing Takayama Jin,

sitting in the extermination team's van,

holding the Amazon Driver in one hand and a raw egg in the other,

in front of everyone, he used the Driver to crack the egg,

then directly smashed the egg into his mouth.

The action was fluid and seamless, even swallowing the egg in one gulp,

he wiped the egg yolk from his lips,

grabbed the Driver and stepped into the center of the battlefield,

facing the Spider Amazon and the Dragonfly Amazon ahead, he put the Driver on his waist and gently turned the handle.

【Alfe!】

As the Driver's mechanical sound effect rang out,

Lin Feng raised a smile of excitement,

"Amazon."
