Luo Tai carefully looked at the display on his watch: "Congratulations, you have drawn a companion. She will accompany you through this movie world. Please ensure her safety. The system has deducted 150 points of virtue. Remaining virtue points: 138."
Damn. Luo Tai sighed. Although he didn't draw the role of a serial killer, drawing a real-world woman wasn't much better. This wasn't like Chun-Li, who was a skilled martial artist and could protect herself. He would have to protect her safety.
As he thought, he turned around and instantly turned to stone...
Because standing in front of him was the real-world superstar, Liu Yifei....
Oh my god... This is really too much.
"Ah~~" Liu Yifei, who was probably just as confused about how she suddenly appeared here, looked at Luo Tai dumbfoundedly. A few seconds later, she let out a scream and fainted!
Luo Tai quickly caught her and looked around. Not far from the construction site, there was a pavilion. Luo Tai carried Liu Yifei to the pavilion. He knew that Liu Yifei must have been extremely frightened. When he first entered the movie world, it took him a whole day to accept the reality.
After a while, Liu Yifei slowly woke up. She still saw Luo Tai's face. Liu Yifei leaned back against the stone pillar of the pavilion and asked in surprise, "Who are you? Where am I? What do you want?"
Luo Tai shrugged and said, "First, let me tell you, I'm not a kidnapper or a robber. Look around, it's broad daylight, and people can see us. No kidnapper would be that stupid."
Liu Yifei turned her head and saw that it was indeed as Luo Tai said. She frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Luo Tai nodded and continued, "This is extremely unbelievable. I know you are Liu Yifei, and you just participated in a brand promotion event in Jibei City, right?"
Liu Yifei carefully looked at Luo Tai and said, "Yes, but I don't know you. Who are you?"
"Like this," Luo Tai sat on the bench and continued, "Do you remember what happened before you got here, before you met me?"
Liu Yifei gathered her long hair and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "I remember I was at the airport waiting area... then... I went to the restroom alone... then my head suddenly felt dizzy. When I came to, I was here. No, no... What's going on? I have to contact my agent, I have to call the police..."
As she spoke, Luo Tai watched as Liu Yifei pulled out a gold iPhone from her skirt pocket and started dialing. But after a few tries, she said urgently, "Why is there no signal here? What's going on?"
"Liu Yifei, listen..." Luo Tai, seeing her busy for a while, finally said, "Don't be so agitated. I'll tell you what's going on. You just need to sit quietly on the bench."
Liu Yifei shook her head and then sat down on the bench, looking at Luo Tai. Luo Tai said, "We are now in a movie. The movie is called 'Shaolin Soccer.' I think, as someone in the entertainment industry, you must know about it. We are in this movie world, and the only way to go back is to complete the system's tasks..."
"Thump~~" Liu Yifei heard this, rolled her eyes, and fainted again.
Luo Tai didn't notice at first, but when he saw her fall to the ground, he quickly picked her up. Luo Tai knew that if this happened to anyone, they wouldn't believe it. It was just too bizarre.
Luo Tai, holding Liu Yifei, hoped she would believe him soon. He pinched her "renzhong" (the point between the nose and upper lip). She slowly woke up.
Liu Yifei suddenly jumped out of Luo Tai's arms, hands on her chest, and shouted, "You... What do you want?"
"You just fainted, I woke you up," Luo Tai explained.
Liu Yifei shook her head and then turned to run down the street. Luo Tai quickly followed. The system had instructed him to ensure the safety of this companion, so he couldn't let Liu Yifei out of his sight.
Liu Yifei ran onto the main street, and Luo Tai closely followed, saying, "This is really a movie world, listen to me, I'll explain."
Liu Yifei ignored Luo Tai. When she reached the main road, she looked up at the city's buildings and shouted at Luo Tai, "Don't lie to me, this is Shanghai."
Luo Tai sighed and said, "You fool, the exterior scenes of 'Shaolin Soccer' were filmed in Shanghai. And think about it, you were just in the waiting area in Jibei City, how did you suddenly end up in Shanghai?"
Liu Yifei still didn't believe it. She took out her phone again, but there was still no signal. At this moment, Liu Yifei saw a police officer patrolling the street and walked over.
Luo Tai quickly followed.
"Hello, officer..." Liu Yifei said, brushing her hair away from her face so others could recognize her.
The police officer politely saluted Liu Yifei and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Um..." Seeing the officer's serious expression, Liu Yifei bit her lip and said, "You... Don't you recognize me? I'm Liu Yifei?"
The police officer shook his head and said, "I don't recognize you. Is there anything else?"
Liu Yifei wiped her forehead and said, "Okay, I want to go back to Beijing."
The police officer nodded and said, "To go back to Beijing, you can go to the train station or the airport." The police officer then turned and continued patrolling.
Luo Tai saw this and walked up to Liu Yifei, smiling, "I told you, this isn't the world we live in. Understand? No one here recognizes Liu Yifei. You're in a movie world, not a star. We have to work together to get back."
Liu Yifei stood there, looking dazed, as if she was about to faint again.
Luo Tai grabbed Liu Yifei's arm and pulled her to a crowded place, pointing at her and shouting, "Everyone, look, this is Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei. A famous triple-threat movie star, absolutely real..."
Liu Yifei looked around in fear, grabbing onto Luo Tai and said, "You're crazy, what are you doing?" Luo Tai pushed her forward and said, "Look, no one recognizes you. Would it be like this if you came to Shanghai before?"
Hearing Luo Tai's shout, a crowd gathered. When they heard he said the girl was a triple-threat star, they all laughed and dispersed, one of them saying, "Pfft~~ A pair of lunatics."
Seeing this, Liu Yifei felt dizzy again, and Luo Tai quickly caught her. He whispered in her ear, "Breathe deeply, breathe deeply, it's okay, everything will be fine."
By evening, Liu Yifei had slowly accepted the reality. To be honest, Luo Tai never expected the old immortal to bring her here. Liu Yifei was a real-world star, and if anything happened to her, it would be explosive news in the real world.
Luo Tai explained the entire situation bit by bit, including his watch, and told Liu Yifei that he had already experienced the "Fist of Legend" world. He also told her not to tell anyone about this when they returned to the real world.
Unless you want to become mute and have the intelligence of a three-year-old. Liu Yifei was completely baffled, but Luo Tai naturally explained the time difference, so she didn't need to worry. In the movie world, even if they stayed for a year, it would only be one day in the real world.
Moreover, through "Fist of Legend," he knew that as long as they completed the tasks, they could return, without necessarily staying for a full period.
Liu Yifei, dazed, asked him, "Why you? I mean, you said there's an immortal, why did he choose you?"
Luo Tai smiled and said, "He said I'm a good person."
"I'm not a bad person either," Liu Yifei said, her voice trembling, "He... He why... Why did he do this to me... Sob..."
She finally cried. But here, passersby just glanced at her, no one recognized her.
"Don't cry," Luo Tai said, "It's because you're a good person that you were chosen. Besides, it's just this one movie, I have many more."
Liu Yifei lifted her head, wiped her tears, and said, "You said earlier, how can we go back?"
"By completing the tasks given by the system," Luo Tai said.
"How does this feel a bit like the web novel 'Infinite Terror'?" Liu Yifei said, pouting, looking very cute.
Luo Tai was taken aback and said, "You've read 'Infinite Terror'?"
"Yes," Liu Yifei nodded.
"That's good," Luo Tai said, "You can think of this as 'Infinite Terror,' but we have it better."
"Okay, okay, now I have no choice but to accept it," Liu Yifei finally sighed and accepted everything. "I'll follow you, just don't leave me here."
"I won't," Luo Tai said, "You were drawn by the system, and I have to ensure your safety."
"What's your name?" Liu Yifei asked.
"Luo Tai."
"From Jibei?"
"Yes."
"What do you do in the real world?"
"Electrician."
"Luo Tai, what... What do we do now?" Liu Yifei asked, looking at the darkening sky, feeling helpless.
"We'll find a place to rest first, and then we'll look for Ah Xing early tomorrow morning," Luo Tai thought and said.
