He took a day off and rested today.
The program had recorded an extra episode yesterday, which also resolved the cancellation crisis. Zhang Ye then slept in at home.
He slept until ten o'clock and still didn't want to get out of bed. He started watching TV, flipping through channels one after another. Suddenly, Zhang Ye stopped and quickly turned up the volume. This seemed to be a scene from last night's broadcast, a press conference for a new movie. The title was very familiar, "White Lady 2." Zhang Ye remembered that the name "White Lady" appeared in the TV news he saw when the game ring first altered the world's background. It was also a new film by the famous director Wu Bang, who had extremely high box office numbers, and now it was getting a sequel.
Why was Zhang Ye so interested?
The reason was simple: the movie's female lead was incredibly beautiful!
After catching a glimpse of her on TV, Zhang Ye couldn't take his eyes off her. There were many superstars and divas in this world, but this person was probably the most beautiful celebrity Zhang Ye had seen in this world. Well, perhaps it was more accurate to say she was the most in line with his aesthetic.
Wang Xiaomei?
Tian Bin's wife?
They couldn't even compare to her beauty!
The only one who could match her was Rao Aimin. If the landlady could wear a fashionable runway outfit, the two might be on par.
On the screen, after the press conference ended, Zhang Yuanqi was surrounded by reporters. The famous director Wu Bang didn't have such a large entourage.
"Ms. Zhang, what are your expectations for the box office?"
"Teacher Zhang, I heard you were injured during filming?"
"Can you give us a hint about the plot of the new film? How does it differ from the first one?"
"Ms. Zhang, your new song didn't perform well again. Are you planning to focus solely on your acting career and not develop in the music industry?"
The reporters fired questions like a barrage of marbles.
Zhang Yuanqi, with a smile on her face, was very approachable and had no diva attitude, "Please ask one by one, I will answer all of them. Of course, I hope the box office will be as high as possible, which also requires everyone's support. I can't reveal the plot, or it wouldn't be interesting anymore. As for my injury, I appreciate everyone's concern. Thank you, it's already fine, just a minor scratch that healed with a band-aid the next day. It was just exaggerated by the media, it wasn't a serious injury."
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Do you have any new film plans this year?"
"I heard you will also serve as a judge for the Golden Microphone and Silver Microphone Broadcasting and Hosting Competition in a few days?"
Zhang Yuanqi said with a gentle smile, "There might be a new film starting at the end of the year. Regarding the judging, you are very well-informed. I was indeed invited, and my agent is checking my schedule. If there are no other commitments, I will definitely go."
The reporters continued to swarm around her, hot on her heels.
Zhang Yuanqi, whose age Zhang Ye wasn't quite sure of, looked to be in her thirties. She was a diva in this world, a top-tier superstar. She had won the most prestigious Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards multiple times and had a few songs that won Golden Melody Awards. She was a true multi-talented artist. If ranked by fame and popularity, Zhang Yuanqi was at least in the top five of the most popular stars in the country, a diva among divas. Though not particularly old, she had a long and distinguished career, having entered the entertainment industry early. In the entertainment circle, Zhang Yuanqi was considered a senior figure, and many newcomers had to call her "Senior Sister." Zhang Yuanqi was beautiful, famous, and most importantly, very approachable and elegant, so her status in the industry was very high, and she had excellent relationships with others.
Look at her appearance!
Look at her 1000
7684 achievements!
Look at her personality and demeanor!
Zhang Ye knew he couldn't match her, lacking her physical attributes. He could only rely on his own efforts, and his biggest asset was the game ring!
It was noon.
Zhang Ye ate instant noodles and then opened the game ring on his pinky finger to check his total reputation points, which amounted to 230,000. These were a combination of the points left over from the past and the reputation points earned from "Ghost Stories at Midnight" and "Old and Young Story Club" in the last two days. Although the listening rate of "Old and Young Story Club" was not much higher than "Ghost Blows the Lamp," the reputation points it brought to Zhang Ye each day were almost twice as much. After all, late-night programs were not mainstream, and "Old and Young Story Club" had become Zhang Ye's focus and priority.
He could now draw a prize.
Zhang Ye only planned to draw once, as he needed to save some reputation points for emergencies, in case he needed to buy "Memory Search Capsules" to recall things from his world. He clicked on the drawing interface!
It cost 100,000 reputation points!
The drawing began! The pointer spun!
This time, Zhang Ye hoped to draw a skill or attribute. His luck was so bad that he had never drawn one before. Of course, a special item would be even better.
Skill...
Attribute...
Consumable...
The pointer slid past each category!
One circle! Five circles! Ten circles!
Zhang Ye snapped his fingers and muttered, "Skill! Skill!" Suddenly, he shouted, "Oh no, it passed! Just a little bit, just a little bit!"
Click!
He drew a consumable again!
Zhang Ye was quite adaptable. If it was a consumable item, so be it. After all, the consumable category took up half of the drawing options, and the previous consumable items had helped him a lot. The small consumable treasure chest automatically entered his inventory. Zhang Ye took it out and placed it on the desk, opening the lid! The chest opened, and a familiar golden light flashed! A small pink sachet appeared inside the chest!
[Love Charm Sachet]: Effective when worn, increases the player's love luck index for 5 minutes!
Love luck?
There was actually an item to increase love luck?
Zhang Ye thought it was great, but it was a one-time item. If he could draw the purchase permission for this item in the special category, that would be even better. He could buy it unlimitedly, and with it, he wouldn't worry about finding a wife. He could buy enough love luck sachets to last 24 hours a day, and wouldn't that be wonderful? However, he could only dream. Besides, he didn't know the actual effect of the item. He knew the literal meaning of "love luck," but not the practical effect.
He hung the sachet around his neck!
Ding, the item was used, and the countdown began!
Watching the usage time decrease second by second on the game interface, Zhang Ye sat in the chair and waited, but nothing happened!
Love luck?
Why no reaction?
When there were only two minutes left, Zhang Ye realized he had been too simplistic. For example, the "Bad Luck Aura," if he activated it and no one offended him, the aura wouldn't have any effect. Similarly, the "Love Charm Sachet" probably worked the same way. He was alone at home, with no women around, so how could he get love luck? He needed to meet a woman first. Waiting at home wouldn't bring any women to him.
Click!
There was a sound of keys outside!
Thump, clunk, it seemed someone was trying to open Zhang Ye's door with a key but couldn't get it to work. The person outside seemed to get angry and kicked the door!
"Who is it!" Zhang Ye went over with a frown.
No one spoke outside, still trying to insert the key.
Zhang Ye yanked the door open, "Stop! Who is it?"
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol hit him, almost making him fall over. It was too strong. Looking up, he saw a woman wearing a wide pair of sunglasses, slightly familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. Zhang Ye knew he definitely didn't know this drunk woman. She was clearly very drunk, still trying to insert the key into the air even though the door was already open. Her nude high heels wobbled, and she could barely stand. She wore thigh-high stockings and a short white dress, with a very good figure!
Hmm?
Could this be the love luck?
Ha! The Love Charm Sachet really could bring a woman to his door?
"You must have the wrong door," but Zhang Ye didn't dare to accept this unexpected fortune. The woman was drunk, and he didn't know what was going on.
The woman stared at him dizzily, "Who are you? What are you doing in... my house?"
Zhang Ye, unable to hold back a laugh, said, "Sister, this is my house. Where do you live? I'll take you back." When he saw the keys in the woman's hand, he was even more speechless. The keys were very complex, clearly for a high-end lock, and there was even a keycard, which definitely didn't belong to their neighborhood.
The woman rudely pushed her way into the house, ignoring Zhang Ye, "You... are the cleaner my mom hired? I know...!"
You're the cleaner!
Your whole family is the cleaner!
She stumbled and almost fell.
Zhang Ye had no choice but to quickly support her, "Look clearly, this is really my house! Who are you?"
The woman sneered, "I... don't even... recognize me?" As she spoke, she took off her sunglasses. The first attempt failed, but the second time she managed to grab them.
When the sunglasses came off, Zhang Ye was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. He finally remembered why the woman looked familiar but wasn't someone he knew. Behind the sunglasses was a flawless face, and the stunning beauty immediately reminded him!
Zhang Yuanqi!
Wasn't this the Zhang Yuanqi he had just seen on TV this morning!
Zhang Ye was stunned by how she could have walked into the wrong house and found his. Then he realized this must be the magical effect of the Love Charm Sachet. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen? A top-tier superstar in the country getting drunk and ending up at his door? It was more unbelievable than a novel! But it had happened under the effect of the sachet! Zhang Ye didn't know what to think!
Are the items in this game ring so powerful??
