Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile

Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile

The warmth of the sunlight that was shining through the window landed on the girl's flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her hands clenched onto her blanket tightly. She chanted, "No! No! Don't.. please.. I beg you stop! Ahh!!" She gasped for breath as she wiped the layer of cold sweat off her forehead. She looked at her phone and laid in bed after realizing that she was in her apartment. 'I'm safe.. it's alright.. safe..' After calming down, she took a quick shower and looked into the mirror. "Yang Ya Nuo! you got this! New day, new beginning!" She got dressed in a male school uniform and applied her makeup and wig. Within the next 15 minutes, her beautiful jade like face transformed into a handsome young man's face. "Aha! That should do it! Handsome like always. Breakfast time~" Since young, Ya Nuo learned how to change her voice to sound like a male's voice in case she needed it one day. Unlike girls at her age who liked to hang out with friends and go shopping, she only loves one thing, food! She works three part time jobs and is attending a famous school on a scholarship that covers full tuition. She cheerfully walked to the kitchen to see what's there to make for breakfast. When she opened the fridge, she saw nothing, but a piece of sausage inside. Sigh.. "I paid for rent and ran out of money to restock for grocery." Ding Dong "Who is it?" she said in a grumpy tone. "Yo!" Xu Huan Hei greeted her with a hand wave. "Is it time already? There's still half an hour before the usual time you come to get me for school." "Nope! But I do have something I want to discuss with you." he smiled dazzlingly. He was the school's second most popular guy that every female wished to date. The number one ranked male student was Ya Nuo. These two met each other at a young age, but due to some reason Huan Hei never found out about her female gender. "I'm hungry. Let's talk food first." "Here~ i already prepared a bag of groceries and two bacon, egg, and sausage for you" he winked. Ya Nuo smirked, "Oh? Seems like it's something important hmm? Alright, let me enjoy my breakfast as we discuss your 'favor.'" In the middle of enjoying her bacon, egg, and sausage, she suddenly spit out the mouthful of food onto Huan Hei. "will you be my girlfriend?" he asked confidently. "Are you crazy?? I'm a guy! 100% male!" "But you are so pretty, even girls say you have feminine features. I'm sure with a little makeup you'll look very cute!" "... what's your reason?" "A girl keeps pestering me and chasing after me to get into a relationship with her. I told her for the past two years that I'm not interested in any relationships, but she refused to listen. I accidentally slipped out and said I actually have a girlfriend... so she asked to meet her.. and I didn't have anyone that is trustworthy enough for this job." "No." "Pretty please" "No!" "Come on~ I'll buy you lunch~" "I'm not that cheap." "Fine, 3 months worth of lunch and groceries!" "Deal." In the meantime, at a luxurious restaurant, a man with gray hair sipped his wine, "Did you guys find her yet?" "No.. sir" "Then why are you here? Go! Find her and bring her here! Don't come back and report bullshit to me!" "Yes!" *THERE IS NO RAPE OR ANY SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS NOVEL. BUT WARNING OF 18+ CONTENT* The book cover is not mine, credits go to the original author.

Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

HD Cameras and Cameras
A high-definition camera was a digital device that could capture high-quality, high-definition images. Its image resolution could reach 1280*720 (corresponding to 720 lines of interlaced scanning) or 1920*1080 (corresponding to 1080 lines of interlaced scanning). High-definition cameras were divided into two types: the early HD video cameras, which used magnetic tape as the recording medium, and the AVCHD video cameras, which had a variety of recording media such as discs, flash memory, and hard disks. As for the camera, the reference materials did not specifically give the concept of the camera and other related content, but from the mention of some video cameras, hand-held cameras and other equipment, it can be inferred that they have similarities with the function of the camera. They are both used for shooting and recording images, but there may be differences in the use of the scene, professional level, functional focus, etc. For example, some video cameras might be equipped with specific lenses, microphones, and other equipment to meet different shooting needs. For example, the SonyPXW-X280 video camera had 17x zoom and wireless functions, and the PXW-Z150 hand-held 4K camera was equipped with an omni-directional three-dimensional electret microphone. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Professional Cameras and Home Cameras
There were many differences between professional cameras and home cameras: ** 1. Image quality ** 1. ** hardware performance ** - Professional cameras were usually equipped with higher-level sensors, lenses, and other hardware components. For example, in low-light environments, professional cameras such as the SonyFX3 had better performance in low-light environments, allowing them to capture clear, low-noise images in darker environments. However, home cameras might have more noise in low-light environments, and the quality of the picture would drop significantly. - The quality of professional cameras was often higher, with a wider focal length coverage, smaller distortion, and better optical performance. They could meet a variety of shooting needs, such as the conversion from large scenes to close-up shots in movie scenes. The lens of a home camera was more suitable for daily shooting scenes, and the focal length was relatively fixed or the coverage was narrow. 2. ** Color reproduction ability ** - Professional cameras were more accurate in color science and could accurately restore the true colors of the scene. They could provide more room for adjustment through professional color configuration files such as Log mode. Although home cameras also had a certain degree of color optimization, it was more to directly output a better image. The flexibility and accuracy of color adjustment were relatively low. ** 2. Function ** 1. ** Manual control ** - Professional cameras provided a variety of manual control functions, such as manual focus, manual aperture, manual shutter speed adjustment, and so on. This allowed professional photographers to precisely control the shooting parameters according to the shooting needs to achieve specific shooting effects. For example, when shooting dynamic scenes, the motion blur effect could be controlled by precisely adjusting the shutter speed. Home cameras were mostly automatic, with limited manual functions. They were more focused on ease of use and convenient for ordinary users to operate. 2. ** Special Function ** - Professional video cameras might have some special functions, such as multi-format recording, which could record in different video format and resolution to meet different post-production needs. Some professional video cameras also supported the expansion of external devices, such as external audio equipment to obtain higher quality sound recording. Home cameras were mainly focused on meeting the basic functions of daily family shooting, such as simple video recording and photo functions. There were relatively few special functions. ** 3. Durability and stability ** 1. ** Airframe structure ** - Professional cameras usually used more durable body materials to adapt to a variety of complex shooting environments, such as collisions and bad weather when shooting outdoors. For example, some professional cameras-on-shoulders were designed to withstand long-term use and transportation. Household video cameras were more portable, the body material was relatively light, and the durability was not as good as professional video cameras. 2. ** Anti shake performance ** - Although some home cameras also had anti-shake functions, the anti-shake technology of professional cameras was often more advanced. For example, some professional movie cameras used 5-axis anti-shake technology, which could compensate for the image shake caused by hand shake or moving shooting in multiple directions. It could provide a more stable image when shooting scenes such as hand-held shots. ** 4. Price ** 1. ** Price Range ** - Professional cameras were usually more expensive due to their high-performance hardware, complex functions, and professional design. Professional HD cameras such as the SonyPXW-Z280 could cost tens of thousands of yuan. Home cameras were more affordable, ranging from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan. For example, home cameras such as the Sony-HMD-CX405 were affordable to ordinary consumers. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Cameras, cameras don't
There were many differences between cameras: 1. ** Recording Method **: - The camera used optical and chemical recording methods. It was a device that used optical principles to record images. - The camera used an electronic recording method to convert optical image signals into electrical signals for storage or transmission. 2. ** Appearance **: - Cameras were usually large and highly integrated, while video cameras were small and low integrated. - Cameras had many functions. Many of them were video-recording machines that could record sound and images at the same time. The built-in microphone had good sound quality. It usually came with a monitor, an HD mirror, and a hood. Some of them came with a fill light, but they had few ports and did not support the expansion of professional accessories. The camera itself did not come with accessories, but it could support the installation of a large number of third-party accessories. There were many professional ports that could be connected to a variety of equipment. 3. ** Usage differences **: - Cameras were specially developed for movie applications, and most movies used cameras. - The camera was developed for television applications and could be used in television programs (such as news programs and studio programs), television dramas, documentaries, feature films, and other programs. However, in the modern film and television industry, there was a trend of combining movies and television. The two could be used in some shooting scenes. 4. ** Price difference **: Cameras are generally more expensive, while video cameras are relatively cheaper. 5. ** Different Image Quality **: The image quality of the camera is slightly worse than that of the video camera. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Cameras
I'm not sure what you mean by "camera equipment". If you want to ask about camera equipment, here are some common camera equipment related knowledge: In terms of types, there were home cameras, professional cameras, and cameras used for special purposes such as surveillance. Household video cameras were light and easy to operate. They were common household electrical appliances. Nowadays, there were many storage methods for home cameras. Some could store images directly in flash memory, and the newer models could store images directly in the hard disk of the body. They could also record both dynamic and static videos, replacing the need to carry a digital camera at the same time in the past. Professional cameras such as some models from Sonny, such as the FX3, a 4K movie camera with 10.2 million pixels, 5-axis anti-shake function, priced at 32000 yuan; the ILME-FX30 with 5-axis anti-shake, 6K video, autofocus function, priced at 12938 yuan, etc. Different models had different functions such as resolution, anti-shake, and zooming. There were different types of surveillance cameras, such as full-color, starlight, super-starlight, and blacklight. The main difference between them was the tolerance of low illumination to maintain color. For example, the black-light level of the PC could maintain color under low illumination of 0.0005 Lux (illumination unit), but the star-level or ordinary infrared had to rely on the fill light. In terms of the types of fill light, there were infrared, white, warm light, and other types. Different types had different color temperatures and frequencies. For example, infrared was the mainstream application, but the monitoring screen was black and white after infrared was activated. If a color image was needed, white/warm light fill lights were needed. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

How are the conference cameras and cameras connected?
Your question is a little vague. Generally speaking, if it was a USB camera, it would be directly plugged into the USB port of the computer and the computer would be able to recognize it. If it was a conference camera, some could be connected to a display device through an Bluetooth cable, such as a large screen or a TV. If you wanted to connect to a computer for a video conference, you might use a USB or network interface (such as an ether interface). You also had to install the corresponding driver or software on the computer, and then make some simple settings, such as selecting a device, adjusting the image parameters, and so on. If it was a more professional conference camera, it might also involve network equipment such as switches and routers to build a network connection. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Mobile phones and micro cameras and DSLR cameras
The basic principle of a single-lens reflex camera was that the light reflected by the object entered the camera through the lens, reflected by the reflective plate to the pentaprism, and then refracted to the viewfinder. When shooting, the mirror popped up, the lens aperture contracted, the shutter opened to expose the film, and after the exposure, all parts were reset. It had the characteristics of optical framing, no electricity, and no delay. However, when shooting video, the mirror needed to be lifted for electronic framing. The micro-camera was a mirrorless camera that could change lenses. Through electronic viewfinder, light could be projected directly onto the image sensor. The image could be observed through the display or viewfinder. It was not a castrated version of the DSLR. The two were digital cameras with different structures. In terms of mobile phones, video flagship phones such as the Vivo X100 Pro, OOppo Find X7 Ultra, and Glory Magic6 Pro claimed to be comparable to the image quality of the DSLR, but the camera manufacturer did not respond. There were certain developments in mobile phone imaging. For example, the Vivo had a 1-inch main camera and a telephoto hanging sun technology; the Oppo had a lot of materials, and the rear four cameras had good quality; the Glory Magic6 Pro used a variable aperture and a large base telephoto. However, even if there was less room for improvement in the image quality of the phone's LCD camera, the micro-camera had new development points in terms of the lens, such as smaller, larger aperture, more accurate focusing, and so on. Moreover, the micro-camera also had the advantage of lens group, so there was still a big gap between the mobile phone and the micro-camera. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
