Reborn with the Infinite World Panel-Chapter 146 - 143: Dear Friends 4

This is the Inner Mansion Space of his original body. After his original body was torn apart, he immediately retrieved his Inner Mansion Space.

Nan Chu thought to herself: When searching the memories, I didn’t even find out this demon had an Inner Mansion Space. It seems this demon has some skills, as it managed to hide certain memories instantly during my search.

There wasn’t much left in Jing He’s Inner Mansion Space.

When he encountered the Space-Time Rift back then, he used up quite a number of Magic Treasures and elixirs.

Later, in order to repair his Divine Soul, the items kept decreasing, and now only some low-level weapons and Cultivation Method Jade Scrolls are left in his space.

As for elixirs and such, they’re long gone.

Nan Chu planned to hand over these low-level weapons to the sect, as many of them are Spiritual Artifacts.

Having so many Spiritual Artifacts just lying around is wasteful.

Nan Chu tidied up the items, packed them, and then requested an Underworld courier to deliver these packages to the sect.

She also sent a message to the Sect Leader to inform him about sending the Spiritual Artifacts over.

After dealing with these things, Nan Chu proceeded to study the Array Map left in Jing He’s space, along with some Jade Scrolls.

A few days passed like this, and Nan Chu went to record "Dear Friends" again.

For the second episode, Nan Chu invited Hu Liang.

Zheng Nanqiao invited Li Jiaqi, someone he has known for ten years, who is a dramatist.

Zhao Hao invited Mu Miaochu, whom he’s known for seventeen years, and they have worked on many plays together.

You Yiyao invited an ordinary friend named Bai Lan, who is her hometown neighbor and close friend.

Bai Lan works at an advertising company.

This time, their filming location was in Chengdu.

The opening still started with Zheng Nanqiao, followed by the appearance of each of their friends.

After the introductions, the director asked the same question as the last episode: how they became friends and what their first impressions were.

Zheng Nanqiao and Li Jiaqi became friends because Zheng Nanqiao went to film a program that involved learning opera from Li Jiaqi. Because of this show, Zheng Nanqiao would listen to Li Jiaqi’s opera singing when he had free time.

Because of this, they became friends for ten years.

As for the first impression, Zheng Nanqiao thought Li Jiaqi was an amazing opera singer.

Li Jiaqi’s first impression of Zheng Nanqiao was also quite good, feeling he had a natural talent for learning opera.

Zhao Hao and Mu Miaochu became friends because they collaborated a lot and later even lived in the same neighborhood.

Their first impressions of each other were similar, thinking the other looked quite good.

Nan Chu also briefly talked about Hu Liang, and they mentioned their first impressions of each other.

Hu Liang initially thought Nan Chu was aloof and hard to get along with, but after getting to know her, he realized she had a chivalrous heart. If it weren’t for her help, he wouldn’t have cleaned up his image.

He wouldn’t be having touring performances everywhere now.

You Yiyao also briefly mentioned that they actually couldn’t remember much about their first impressions.

So they just picked some nice words to say.

Next, Nan Chu and the others started visiting the zoo to see pandas.

Since there were many of them, they lined up to buy tickets to go in and see the pandas, then continued their tour.

By noon, they went to a restaurant with Sichuan opera face-changing to eat.

While waiting for the dishes, the face-changing artist came to them, and with a blink of an eye, the artist changed faces.

The face-changing person also took Bai Lan’s hand and placed it on the face-changing mask.

Up close, the artist changed faces again.

"Wow!" Bai Lan exclaimed, amazed at how incredible it was.

The face-changing artist walked around the dining guests and then went to the center, revealing their own face under the mask.

There was also a fire-breathing performance, during which Nan Chu and the others had their lunch.

After a brief rest, they went to the theater in the afternoon to experience and learn opera singing.

Li Jiaqi is a Yu opera performer, singing roles of old men, and Sichuan opera also features roles like that.

Old men: Usually playing middle-aged male roles, focusing primarily on singing skills, with steady and graceful movements.

He directly learned the style of Sichuan opera and quickly mastered it.

Nan Chu and the other three women played "Dan" roles.

Nan Chu played the martial "Dan" since she is a magician with martial arts skills.

You Yiyao played a distinguished lady, while Bai Lan played a charming young woman, and Mu Miaochu played the "Zheng Dan" role.

Distinguished lady: Moves with restraint, rarely smiles, characterized by a dignified demeanor, usually wearing layered garments, with a traditional "big head" style and a folded fan.

Charming young woman: From a working-class family, cheerful and lively, typically wears brightly colored layered garments with colorful pants underneath, not skirts, styled with a "big head" or braided ponytails, often using handkerchiefs instead of folding fans.

"Zheng Dan": Often plays virtuous and dignified roles of queens or ladies, wearing python patterned or court garments...

Zheng Nanqiao played "Red Sheng," Zhao Hao played "Zheng Sheng," and Hu Liang played the flamboyant "Paodai Hualian" role.

"Zheng Sheng": Also known as "Bearded Sheng," named for wearing a beard... Emphasizes style, prioritizes singing skills, requires a clear voice, a slim and moderate stature, and graceful and elegant movements.

"Red Sheng": A type of "Zheng Sheng" in Sichuan opera. Known for red face makeup, emphasizing heroic demeanor, with a more sonorous singing than typical "Zheng Sheng," often accompanied by suona.

"Paodai Hualian": Often plays literary officials, wears python or official garments, with jade belts, emphasizing singing and recitation, with a focus on style.

After assigning roles, they began learning from the teacher.

After more than two hours of study, having somewhat grasped the basics, they went to put on makeup, which also took about two hours.

Afterwards, they began their performance.

After the performance, it took about an hour to remove their makeup.

Once they were done, everyone went to eat together.

They went to a buffet hot pot restaurant.

They enjoyed hot pot together.

After eating and drinking to their delight, they returned to the hotel to rest.

The next day, they went to experience different cultural heritages.

With Li Jiaqi, they experienced bamboo weaving heritage; Zhao Hao and Mu Miaochu experienced bamboo qin making, Nan Chu and Hu Liang experienced lantern making, and You Yiyao and Bai Lan experienced Shu embroidery.

Everyone acted separately.

Nan Chu was very skilled, consistently choosing to make complex lanterns.

The master didn’t hold back and explained each step in detail.

"Nan Chu, your hands are so skillful," Hu Liang praised, "Unlike me, clumsy and never liking to do handcrafts since childhood."

Because what he made would look ugly, even he found it distasteful.

"Brother Hu, cheer up. I believe you can do it."

"I’ll give it my best."

After each group finished their experiences, they reunited to play games, winning dishes for dinner.

Tonight, they arranged special dishes from Sichuan Province, while the losing team had to eat Sichuan’s Zheergen, rabbit head, and pig brain.

The competition method was a song-guessing challenge, where they had to correctly name both the singer and the song. Each team had to get three questions right, and the last team would face punishment.

Nan Chu and her team had a great advantage, as Hu Liang is a singer.

When the intro started, Hu Liang quickly raised his hand, "Liu An’s song ’Dawn.’"

"That’s correct."

For the second song’s intro, Li Jiaqi immediately raised his hand, "Pang Xiang’s song ’Return.’"

...

...

After guessing for four minutes, Nan Chu’s team first correctly guessed three questions, while the remaining three guest teams continued to guess.

...

After ten minutes, the winners and losers were finally determined.
