Chapter 13 Talented Players
The comments section was buzzing again.
[Holy crap! Just got back, and what Yangzi is holding is a damn fake "Hetian" jade!]
[Yangzi: The purchase price is 99, and I resell it for 699. My fans even thank me!]
[Wow, why didn't you say so sooner!]
[If you can make money selling Hetian jade from the Yangtze River, do you think there's any potential in 999 pure gold?]
[Upstairs, you're a marketing genius!]
That's a scam!
……
"Hey, Xiao Gu, don't go! Let me explain!"
Yang Zi was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.
The production team had a total of fifteen moving cameras. Gu Yun was featured in three of those cameras because of his high online popularity.
Yang Zi wanted to get some screen time from Gu Yun to explain to the viewers in the live stream... no, to the viewers.
It's a small matter for the person who bought the jade pendant to request a refund; what Yangzi is worried about is that the matter of him registering a fake brand name to swindle and deceive people will blow up!
To know,
His company sells more than just "Hetian" brand jade pendants; they also sell "Nongfu Spring" mineral water, "999 pure" gold, and more...
If all of this gets dug up, we're doomed!
Ding-a-ling~
The phone rang.
"Boss, just now, a large number of people applied for returns. What do we do now?"
Hearing his assistant's voice on the other end of the phone, Yang Zi felt a headache coming on:
"Refund! Full refund! Issue a statement saying we didn't know the jade was fake. Never mind, I'll send you a video later, just do as I say!"
Yangzi hung up the phone and ran headlong into her room, where there were no cameras following her.
From afar, Gu Yun saw Yang Zi rushing towards the boys' dormitory in a hurry. He was an old man in his forties or fifties, but his short legs moved quite quickly.
Gu Yun took off his sunglasses: "Oh, so President Yang isn't doing business anymore, but getting into sports? Going for a night run before it's even dark?"
[Critical Hit! King of Jokes +2]
Yang Zi almost choked on his breath: "..."
Why did I run? Don't you know?
But he really had no time to deal with Gu Yun right now; protecting his company's reputation was the priority.
Humph~
Hearing Yang Zi's footsteps coming upstairs, Gu Yun lay down and continued studying his control panel.
[Entry Panel:]
The glossary has been updated (2): King of Explosive Memes (Sarcastic), Modeling Monster
Equipable attributes: 2
Equipped with the following tags: King of Jokes, Modeling Monster
Level 1 Sharp Tongue → Level 2 King of Jokes
King of Jokes lv2: 2/100 (Your witty remarks are always quick, accurate, and incisive!)
(Each time you complete a precise/fatal critique of a Chinese celebrity, you will receive +1 experience point.)
建模怪lv0：11/20（颜值+3，当前分数90）
(Each time you receive genuine praise for your looks from a Chinese celebrity, you gain 1 experience point.)
Energy Points: 1
The term "sharp-tongued" has been upgraded to "King of Memes".
Gu Yun just tried using Yang Zi to "talk" him, and the effect was quite good. He complained that Yang Zi could speak fluently, quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!
Gu Yun was very satisfied.
Next, Gu Yun looked at the energy points below the panel.
Energy Points: 1
Use or not?
According to the system prompts, energy points can be used to extract affixes or increase the number of equipable affixes.
However, increasing the number of equipable affixes requires two energy points, and since he only has two affixes in his affix library, there's no need to increase them.
What are you waiting for?
Use it directly!
Select the keywords to extract!
hum!
With his energy points reset to zero, Gu Yun saw the words "Panel updated" flash before his eyes. When he looked at the entry panel again, a new entry had appeared in the entry library!
Entry: Talented Player
Effect: No matter what game you play on a variety show, you'll always shine, with a 70% chance of outshining everyone!
(Each time you receive recognition from a Chinese entertainment star in the game, your proficiency in that term increases by 1.)
Equip/Disequip?
"A naturally gifted player?"
"Shining brightly on variety shows?"
Gu Yun glanced at the effect of the entry, pondered for a long time, and thought that it was probably an equipment entry that would make him very good at playing variety games.
It looks good, but I don't need it right now, so there's no need to equip it now.
When recording a program with Chef Huang, Gu Yun needs something like "immune to all poisons".
This talented player isn't much of a help, but he'll come in handy when recording "Departure 2".
After all, the core content of the variety show "Departure 2" is for everyone to eat, drink, and play games together.
Gu Yun watched "Departure 1". It's not that Gu Yun is giving a bad review, but those people's gaming skills are really bad. A typical example is "Wang An, my stick brother".
"I can completely crush them even without using any keywords!"
"When the time comes, won't they wipe out all our equipment stats? We can upgrade the stats just by recording one episode!"
Gu Yun could already imagine himself, a top-tier gamer, overwhelming those troublemakers with his superior skill.
"Hey, Gu Yun, what are you laughing at?"
After taking a shower, Tian Xiwei changed into a white dress, her hair cascading down her back. She rested her chin on her hands, her large, bright eyes gazing at Gu Yun.
"I just came up with a perfect script."
Gu Yun could smell the shower gel on Tian Xiwei's body, and said seriously, "Xiao Tian, will you cooperate with me and we'll rehearse our lines?"
Tian Xi blinked slightly in confusion, but still read aloud the lines Gu Yun had typed on his phone:
"Gu Yun, you're so handsome... Is that a line from a script?"
The vocabulary proficiency level is not being updated.
"certainly!"
Gu Yun said seriously, "Try it again, and remember to put your emotions into it."
"Gu Yun, you're so handsome!"
The vocabulary proficiency level is not being updated.
"Sigh, it really didn't work out."
Gu Yun sighed, giving up the idea of grinding for proficiency in the vocabulary. Only genuine praise of Gu Yun's looks would increase the proficiency.
Tian Xiwei gently poked Gu Yun's shoulder:
"Gu Yun, don't be sad. Although you don't have the ability to write screenplays, at least... you're really handsome!"
[Critical Hit! Modeling Monster +2]
Gu Yun's eyes lit up instantly: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say it again?"
"You don't have the ability to write screenplays?"
"Do you need to tell me that? It's not that sentence."
"Are you handsome?"
[Modeling Monster +1]
Gu Yun's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's it. Say it more often, I love to hear it."
Tian Xi smiled, pointing her slender index finger at Gu Yun with a knowing look in her eyes:
"Gu Yun, your script just now was all a lie, wasn't it? You just wanted me to praise your handsomeness, huh? You're so cunning!"
【建模怪lv0：14/20（颜值+3，当前分数90）】
Gu Yun, completely unfazed by being exposed, shamelessly said, "You saw right through me, so clever Xiao Tian, please continue to praise me."
Tian Xiwei, like a light butterfly, ran five or six meters away before turning around, tilting her head to look at Gu Yun with a smug smile on her face:
"Gu Yun, you wish! Hehe, you narcissist~"
The skill I had just mastered vanished!
Gu Yun really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did you tease her before?
