“Team members… well, Little Witch was so scared he jumped up yesterday and started grinning. I don’t know what he was thinking or why he was so silly.” RWl4Df

“Okay, yes. After the short training in the morning, we’ll head back to the company directly.”

After breakfast, the Crosson Show training room filled up again.

It was just that the lecturer for this round was Ying Xiangxiang. RqI2ad

At this time, the female artist seemed to be completely at home. In the virtual projection, Star Blog webpages and forums flipped by rapidly, and the trainees bowed their heads and took notes like crazy.

In the White Moonlight team corner.

Wu Jin was sandwiched in the middle of the long table as usual, and his hand moved as fast as lightning, his handwriting flowing out quickly. Beside him was Caesar, Red, Wen Lin, and Zoe who were all waiting to copy his notes. qG3Hbi

The bell that signaled the end of class rang.

Ying Xiangxiang packed up her things and left, leaving the crowd of trainees in a stunned daze.

Qin Jinbao: “What? Blood and rain, flower road, sucking blood, bloodletting, facade, you’re the little brother…?!” RteA9z

Ming Yao was very much into these popular things and spent a lot of time in the fan circles. He chattered loudly and explained to his captain, “Voting means to go up in the billboards, and doing business is… captain, just smile at me. Ah, yes, this is doing business!”

From nearby, Wu Jin and Raphael had their ears pricked up as they listened attentively.

Zoe: “Little Witch, you don’t know these things?” ZALO8a

Wu Jin was sincere, “I just know a little…” He hadn’t trained in these things before!

Zoe looked at the red-faced Wu Jin and wondered out loud, “Then, why are you so excited?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wu Jin: “!!!” Revisiting the past! Happy!

At the table, Caesar and Red were playing with homemade cards. Caesar played a ‘blood rain’ card that was counterattacked by Red’s ‘top traffic’ card. Finally, Caesar was only left with the ‘ah, I’m dead’ card and admitted defeat.

Zoe picked up the Caesar who’d lost three games out of three and tossed ‘ah, I’m dead’ to Red.

“Get ready to go back to the company.” Zoe looked at his watch and made arrangements, “We’ll head out in groups of two in the afternoon. Little Witch and Caesar are going to shoot the advertisement, and Ah Lin and I will do a brand endorsement.” ow7prb

Wu Jin suddenly turned solemn and dignified, filled with a sense of pride for ‘the whole White Moonlight team is top traffic’.

When he looked down at his terminal, he realized that the brand that Zoe was endorsing was an unknown product line belonging to a women’s outdoor sports brand in the city. As for their own advertisement, the owner only had two physical stores.

And one of them was across the street from the White Moonlight Entertainment building. dXcZ1P

Wu Jin had reason to suspect that his advertisement had come from one of Secretary Qu’s dance square friends.

However, apart from the resources given by the Crosson Show, most trainees’ personal resources were extremely limited.

wQNG4j

The survival show wasn’t the same as the entertainment circle. No matter how popular the students were, as long as their strength wasn’t enough to debut, they wouldn’t be able to touch the first-line brands, so their value would be closely related to the competition results. At present, most of the advertisements received by the four members of the team were very minor.

At the Crosson base square, the suspension car once again picked up the trainees and brought them home.

Before they left, Wu Jin leaned against the side of the car and looked back through the window. rSKDIj

The big boss had disappeared without a trace again, but Red was practically bouncing as he walked––over the past two days, Red had had an expression of inexplicable secret pride on his face. It seemed that there was something he wanted to gossip with Caesar about, but since it was related to the next round of elimination matches, he swallowed the words back several times.

“Youth training.” Zoe’s tone was intrigued, “That’s interesting. Each survival team has different ways of training up reserve trainees. White Moonlight and Silver Thread Roll train them openly and send them out to talent shows before their debut in order for them to build up their popularity.”

Zoe made a comparison, “But for some teams, their trainees only carry out closed door training. In particular, interns who are internally ranked as S-level are ‘secret weapons’ who are only sent out at pre-scheduled times.” NlFTJ9

“The only competition that they can participate in is the youth training games.”

Wu Jin suddenly came to a realization. RF8aeA

In the 21st century, a certain entertainment company in South Korea had a strict confidentiality system for their trainees. In order to prevent them from being poached, the company would isolate their private trainees 247, and it was only after they made their debut in a group that their identities be announced.

Survival reality show, talent show, youth training competition. It seemed that many changes had been made to the competition system for the Crosson Show’s seventh elimination match.

“The youth training…won’t the secret trainees be exposed?” Wu Jin asked because he didn’t understand how it worked. 9k4cpd

“No.” Zoe was certain. “Exactly how it’s worked out is something we’ll learn when the game starts. By the way, Red seems to have something to do with the sponsors of the next game.”

Wu Jin: “What?!”

The suspension car sped along. SfVYQG

Wu Jin’s mind shifted as quickly as electricity. The sponsor and Red were related, which meant it had something to do with Floating City. This mysterious sponsor was a new tycoon in the entertainment industry, and Floating City had plans to enter the entertainment industry, setting up the Floating City Battle team…

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The answer was just out of reach.

His terminal suddenly beeped twice. bGCW0

Wu Jin quietly turned on his terminal screen.

Wei Shi: For your debut. Like it? G1reKT

Wu Jin: !!!

The youth’s eyes curved with his smile.

PyYRaF

From beside him, Caesar poked his head in. “Little Witch, what are you looking at––” Wu Jin quickly closed down his terminal, only to end up squeezed flat by the 300 pound Caesar. Wen Lin was cruising in the driver’s seat, and Zoe was still joking, “Is Red a rich second generation? Why are young people these days all running off to become trainees… hm? Why is the car shaking? Caesar, sit properly!!”

Half an hour later, the suspension car came to a stop in front of the White Moonlight building.

The team of four set down their luggage and went to the medical department for comprehensive physical examinations. After the results were out, they were given a few hours to rest. o1W20l

With the finals just looming around the corner, it was a rare chance for the four to have a brief holiday.

Spring was turning into summer. Narcissus flowers were scattered here and there on the White Moonlight dormitory balcony.

Wu Jin petted the rabbit for a while in his dorm room, then took a few pictures of the rabbit to send to the big boss. After laying spread-eagled on the bed for a while, he didn’t continue to while away the time and ran off to the training room to continue practicing his shooting. Zdbsf

In the next elimination match, he would be going up against more than just the big boss, Wei Yan, Thin Fire, Jingyi, and the other trainees he saw all the time.

White Moonlight’s training equipment wasn’t as complete as the Crosson Base’s equipment. Wu Jin simply pulled out the heavy machine gun that he’d used in the evaluation match at the very start, his actions skilled as he shot at the targets. qMHf9i

The training continued until the lunch bell rang.

Wu Jin took a post-battle shower and sat down across from Caesar with a plate in hand.

Caesar was still in the midst of a video call with his girlfriend as he ate. f5dezL

“Darling, ah––” Caesar used a spoon to feed his girlfriend over the call.

Wu Jin looked at the <XX Gummy Candy Ad MV> script and received an abrupt shock, “Caesar, there might be a kissing scene in the afternoon!”

tcd6gS

Caesar: “Ahh––What the hell?! A kiss between the two of us?”

Wu Jin shook his head, “Not the two of us! You and the heroine! You’re the domineering president, and you’ll have to forcefully kiss the female protagonist. Shouldn’t you ask your wifey for permission?”

Caesar hurriedly explained the situation to his girlfriend.

This wifey was very generous and expressed her understanding towards professional requirements. She would be okay with it even if it was a kissing scene between Caesar and the Crosson program producer. Nc4OVI

So, after eating, Wu Jin and Caesar were very relaxed as they got into the car and drove to the studio.

They soon met the female protagonist for the advertisement they were shooting that day. lJR5jP

The advertising content for <XX Gummies> was very cute, innocent, and sweet. The heroine would use her incisors to bite into a soft candy against a background filled with pink bubbles, Wu Jin and Caesar would be fascinated by the scene, Caesar would kiss her, and then it would be over.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wu Jin pulled Caesar with him to greet all the staff members of the production team, giving all of them chocolates covered with the White Moonlight logo.

A few of the female stage crew instantly had stars in their eyes.

Before they began shooting, Caesar was taken away for a trial shot with the heroine. Wu Jin sat quietly in the studio and let the makeup artist deal with his curls.

From nearby, Caesar did the first trial shot. QOJMLK

Caesar charged up to the heroine and smashed down with his big face.

Female protagonist: “Ahhhhhhhhh!”

The director intervened kindly, “You should show some of your temperament. Domineering, overbearing. Come, read out the script for Little Caesar. He has cold phoenix eyes, the domineering aura of a king overlooking the world, filled with an evil charm…”

2HVFZx

In front of the make-up mirror, Wu Jin’s small curls were set into place. His bangs were pushed up, and the artist began to work on his face. Wu Jin closed his eyes obediently.

From nearby, Caesar tried to act out the scene a second time.

Caesar’s face was solemn as he walked towards the heroine, his features distorted by the pretentious and domineering president expression.

Director: “Stop! It’s too greasy! It’s too much! Relax, relax…” yvjnem

On the other side, Wu Jin finished dressing up and looked like a handsome little prince in his suit.

Caesar made a third attempt.

Fourth. hpnMeL

Wu Jin finally discovered where the problem was. Caesar had no expression management skills! His few facial expressions could be summed up with ‘hehehe’, ‘hahaha’, and ‘holy shit’.

The director couldn’t bear it anymore, “Evil! Sexy! Can you learn from the one standing over there… Hey, where’s the person who was standing there just now?” VpA qR

The cameraman explained quickly, “He’s not from our crew and is probably a passerby. He went to take a call. He’s a passerby!”

The director nodded.

His gaze swept over to Wu Jin. “Forget it. Let him try it.” yU5GS

The innocent onlooker Wu Jin: “! What!”

The young sister who’d been acting opposite Caesar for nearly 20 minutes was finally relieved as she looked at Wu Jin.

wUFcbe

Wu Jin reacted within seconds and headed over, but his desire for survival was very strong, “Director… can I go out and make a call first?”

The director nodded.

The heroine smiled broadly: Little Witch was so cute and lovely.

The Wu Jin fans in the crew couldn’t hold back and chattered, “Little Witch is so soft, will he break from the kissing?” VXK1ik

“Distressed! Little Witch has to try hard and fight, if he doesn’t make his debut, he’ll have no choice but to film kissing scenes…”

The director suddenly slapped his thigh, “There’s no need to ask for instructions. I’ve talked to your agent, and it’s not a problem! You can just fake the positioning for the kissing scene. You’re not an idol, and fans of survival show trainees won’t care about these things!”

“Little Witch, come and give it a try first.” Jd4gfM

Wu Jin’s aura wasn’t strong enough. He quickly dialed the big boss’s terminal, but unexpectedly encountered a busy tone.

The heroine beside him smiled lightly and comforted, “It’s fine, it’s just positioning. We can keep a distance of 10cm and then edit it so that we’re together later. Little Witch, what were you asking about just now? The script for the talent show?”

mbq cV

10cm.

Wu Jin was finally relieved. The big boss was broad-minded and probably wouldn’t care about these things!

Life wasn’t easy! Little Witch was filming!

Md5 hG

The cameras were set up again, and Wu Jin was full of energy as they started shooting.

The heroine ate her 10th piece of soft candy and looked at Wu Jin with a brilliant smile.

The gentle youth stopped 20 cm away from her and closed his eyes–– C3e6t

The director: “Fine, it’s better than Caesar anyway. We’ll edit them together later.”

Wu Jin breathed out a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

MLXldk

The cameraman made an ‘ok’ gesture, and they began to fix up the footage on the spot.

Wu Jin was copied and pasted, and the distance between Wu Jin and the female protagonist shrank from 20cm to 5cm.

Wu Jin: “Shouldn’t they be further away? It’s better if we’re further away!” mjkCAn

The editor adjusted it to 8cm, “How does that look better?” He changed it quickly and the distance changed to 2cm.

Wu Jin trembled, “No, no, no, no…”

The cameraman mused, “Or we can stick them together.” ubAx1X

In the screen, Wu Jin and the heroine grew closer and closer together, 1cm, 0.5cm––

A shadow behind him closed in.

The staff to the side called out, “… Hey, who are you! Yeah, you, the passerby on the phone, how come you’re here in our studio?” pdYRq6

Wu Jin suddenly felt a cold sensation travel down his back.

The editor who was fixing up the footage trembled and copy pasted three Wu Jins in a row.

bB7M9V

Both of them turned back at the same time.

Wei Shi hung up his call and looked down at the screen.

Juurensha: It’s adorable that it seems WS set up the theme for his debut, but don’t get mad WS! This is for work!bLA9hU
