A crisp sound rang out this time… it wasn’t the phone.
Li Lu was a little stunned. He stuck his head out and glanced at the taxi driver; everything looked normal.
That sound had actually come from inside his head.
“In life, do as many good deeds as you can; accumulate good plans and you will eventually receive good rewards.
Congratulations, host. The Good Deeds Good Rewards System has been activated.
Whenever the host does a good deed, the host can receive rewards from a parallel world.”
A pleasant, cute voice that somehow felt cool and refreshing made Li Lu shiver.
“System, I actually have a system.”
Li Lu naturally knew about systems, but they were usually just made-up nonsense in movies and TV shows.
For a moment, he felt like crying. Damn it, I finally have my day.
“System, can I make a wish now?”
Li Lu understood clearly that this was probably the benefit of saving someone earlier. It was like rain after a long drought.
“Yes. The system can now help the host fulfill one wish.”
“I still have a 50 million mortgage. Pay it off for me.”
“Beep beep beep…”
A piercing sound rang in his head, like a program error.
“This system cannot create money out of thin air, and it cannot change the material foundations of the real world.”
“Damn, I didn’t even ask you to conjure up a spaceship. Then what good are you?”
The thought had barely crossed Li Lu’s mind before it was repeated right back into his head.
Damn, how did my private thoughts just materialize like that?
“Uh, don’t misunderstand. I wasn’t cursing you. It’s just a catchphrase.”
“All rewards are spiritual and cultural rewards from parallel worlds. They can be music, literature, science, technology, or even craftsmanship.”
The fresh-sounding little system was not angry at all; it remained earnest and responsible.
“All right, all right. I get it.”
Li Lu felt a little disappointed, but not too sad.
Getting arts resources wasn’t bad either. As a glorious cultural worker, he had made nearly a hundred million after becoming popular for a few years, so he understood the value of good works all too well.
If he had a signature work, he might still be able to make money for a few more years.
“Is there a time limit?”
For the moment, he couldn’t think of what to exchange it for.
“No. The host can summon this system at any time.”
“So as long as I do good deeds, I can keep getting rewards forever?”
“Yes, you can, as long as it moves this system.”
“Good. Go back and rest first.”
“Goodbye.”
“Wait. Will you probe my thoughts? Uh, my privacy?”
Li Lu suddenly remembered something. He still hadn’t even cleaned up his phone.
From now on, he wouldn’t dare to look at the browser casually anymore.
“The system only helps the host transport things. It has no consciousness. Please use it with confidence.”
“Oh, oh, okay. Go on.”
Li Lu let out a quiet breath. If he had to carry a camera around every day, how could he live?
After returning to Green Willow Villa and washing up, he lay on the bed and finally got a chance to rest for a while.
What had happened today was just too damn bizarre.
From going to discuss the contract in the morning, to saving someone at the end, to being set up on a blind date, and then getting the system.
It would have been enough to write a 20,000-word script.
(o-ωq )).oO, (o-ωq )).oO
On Su Nuan’s side, she, the agent, the assistant, and the others had just arrived home.
She had been crying all the way in the car. Seeing that her mood had stabilized, the agent decided to have a proper talk with her.
“Xiao Nuan, let me confirm this with you again. The split was clean, right?”
“Mm.”
“Are you sure he doesn’t have any videos, chat logs, photos, or anything like that?”
The agent had to ask clearly. Young people these days were far too reckless.
“They definitely won’t show up outside.”
Xiao Nuan blushed. She did not deny it, but she firmly believed that her Brother Lu would not screw her over.
“You need to understand how much the company has invested in you this time.
If there is a scandal, the penalty will be a number so large you couldn’t pay it off in several lifetimes.”
The agent gave her a stern warning. There were so many artists who crashed and burned like this.
“Mm.”
“Work hard. Never look back.
This time, we are sending you into the Heartbeat show to form an older man-younger girl pairing with superstar Song Tianming.
After the show ends, you two will film a Valentine’s Day movie together.
We will definitely push you into the position of top star and top actress.”
After the warning, the agent began painting a bright future for her.
Every step an artist takes has to be carefully planned by the company.
No celebrity’s success comes by chance unless they are truly handsome enough to reach the heavens or beautiful enough to leave everyone else in the dust.
“Mm.”
Su Nuan nodded. She understood.
That afternoon, she had frantically denied the scandal, and at night she had cut it off cleanly in one stroke.
“You’ve always been an obedient child. We won’t hurt you.”
The agent patted her head with satisfaction. This girl really had a future.
“Boss, something’s gone wrong.”
The assistant knocked and came in, holding a phone and looking anxious.
“What is it? Don’t panic.”
The agent frowned. That little bastard wasn’t going to turn around and screw Nuan Nuan over, was he?
She had known it. There had been a problem with him not taking the five million.
“Song Tianming crashed and burned. Just now, more than a dozen women showed up online.
There were photos, videos, chat logs, everything. He had been completely torn to shreds.”
“Ah, Song Tianming.”
The agent froze. It was him.
The most handsome single older man on the entire internet, a powerhouse actor, a double Best Actor winner, a box office draw.
She picked up her phone and scrolled for a while. The entire internet had basically exploded.
More than a dozen women? That was way too ridiculous.
Sure enough, men were never reliable.
Her mind was a complete mess.
“So what happens to our future cooperation?”
Xiao Nuan had absolutely no feelings for him. He was just the next collaboration partner, nothing more.
She didn’t pity him for how miserable he was; she only worried about her own next plans.
“For now, don’t worry about it. The Heartbeat contract has already been signed.
Once this show is over, the company will help arrange your next resources.”
The agent let out a long breath. Getting worked up wouldn’t help now.
That man was completely done for.
With a record full of scandals, he would definitely be blacklisted across the board.
It was just that the plan that had already been arranged would have to be redone.
“Xiao Nuan, don’t worry about the rest. Focus on the upcoming variety show.
Heartbeat has a lot of fans. Do well and get as much screen time as you can.”
The agent comforted her a couple of times, then left in a hurry.
In Qiongzhou, the Heartbeat production team was in total chaos.
“Damn it, tell me who signed this contract.”
“Start filming immediately. Who am I supposed to find to replace him?”
“Who’s responsible for this mistake?”
