Spring was in full bloom.
A new day had arrived.
On this morning, Zhang Ye was woken up by a phone call. Perhaps because of the poor signal, the call did not connect the first time. After a long time of no response, it finally connected on the second call.
"Is this Zhang Ye?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"I'm from Qinghai Television Station's Channel 5."
"Oh, hello."
"I heard that you don't have a hosting contract yet, so we would like to work with you."
"Sorry about that, but maybe next time."
"Think about it again. Although we are a local television station and our signal is only in Qinghai, we can work together on a program first. When you have a better choice, you can go over then. We don't need to sign a long-term contract, just a program contract will do."
"Never mind, thank you."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye got out of bed and washed up.
Actually, it wasn't that there weren't any jobs contacting him in the past few days. Some people found his cell phone number and called him, while others got some of his friends to contact him. Most of them were contracts related to commercial performances, such as a company's ribbon cutting, a company dinner, a CEO's wedding, etc. Zhang Ye had never accepted any of these jobs because they were meaningless and would not bring him any popularity. Then there were some small television stations that invited him, such as the local or city channels. Their signal coverage could not go beyond the province or city, so there was no way for him to watch them nationwide. With Zhang Ye's current popularity, even if he went over, it would not mean much to him. He couldn't just keep living like that, right?
Therefore, he rejected all of them and did not accept any jobs. He just wanted to wait for Do You Remember to create a positive impact after its broadcast. He wanted to let some satellite channels or Central TV reevaluate Zhang Ye's program production capabilities. His goal this time was to get a nationwide signal coverage for the television channels. He did not consider anything else.
However, Do You Remember had just started its production and would only be broadcasted for a few more days. Zhang Ye did not want to stay at home and wait for it to start. Therefore, he actively contacted some of the platforms or asked his friends for help, such as television galas, guest spots for variety shows, or film crews. He wanted to see if there were any spots for him. If there were, he would work on them first. There was no such thing as too many opportunities. Then, he would continue to wait for news from the television stations while maintaining his exposure. He would wait for the big jobs to come, but from the looks of it, there were no results for the time being.
It had been a few days and he could only stay at home!
After heating up breakfast, Zhang Ye ate a few mouthfuls and could not eat anymore. His work was not going well and he did not have much appetite.
I won't wait any longer!
Try other methods!
It's not like this bro only has one way, he still has other unconventional methods!
Zhang Ye put down his chopsticks and sat down on the sofa. Crossing his legs, he brought up the game ring on his left pinky finger and brought up the virtual screen. He clicked on the Merchant Shop in the game interface and immediately looked at the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) that had been upgraded after the system update. Ever since he got it, Zhang Ye had not tried it out even once. This was because the cost of this item was a little too high. It was still alright in the past as the old version of the Lucky Halo cost 10,000 Reputation Points per second, which he could still afford. But after the upgrade, the effects of the Lucky Halo had increased by many times. Similarly, the cost of maintaining the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) required 100,000 Reputation Points per second. Even with Zhang Ye's current popularity and the rate at which he was earning Reputation Points, it was still a little too much for him.
As for the Difficulty Adjustment Die, it was also an option, but since he was only looking for a temporary job, there was no need to use it yet. This was because Zhang Ye only had one Difficulty Adjustment Die left. Once he used it, it would be gone. Although he had only spent 100,000 Reputation Points to get this item from the lottery, due to its unique nature, the Difficulty Adjustment Die was extremely valuable. Unless he was at the end of his rope, he would definitely not use it. This was one of Zhang Ye's trump cards.
No matter how he thought about it, the Lucky Halo was still the most suitable option. No matter what, he had to use it once. He couldn't afford to be stingy at a time like this. He had not appeared onscreen for a long time, so if this carried on, his popularity would definitely drop. The passion of his fans would also decrease, and that would be the worst!
Buy!
Activate the Lucky Halo!
Immediately, the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) came into effect. A white halo appeared above his head and surrounded him. It was glaring to the eyes as the aftershock of the halo spread outwards without any obstruction even when it hit the walls and glass. It was as though the halo was radiating outwards with Zhang Ye as the center of the halo. The fluctuations of the halo also had a very rhythmic feel to it, with every second that it would emit a halo of light.
The halo was beautiful!
His Reputation Points were also dropping rapidly!
100000！
100000！
100000！
His total Reputation Points were dropping by the hundreds of thousands every second. It made Zhang Ye shudder with fear, but he could only grit his teeth and bear with it. He couldn't stop it after just a few seconds. Based on his past experience, the effects of the Lucky Halo needed to be maintained continuously. If he stopped it after just a short while, then it would have no effect at all. Luck also needed time to accumulate. For example, when Zhang Ye was waiting for the Golden Microphone Awards at the radio station, the Lucky Bread had lasted for five minutes. If it had only been used for a few seconds and stopped, then the trophy might have been smashed into pieces. Without the effects of the Lucky Bread, Zhang Ye's and Zhāng Yě's names would not have been mistaken by the awarding committee!
Hang in there!
It would take at least three to five minutes!
100000！
100000！
…
Meanwhile.
Shanghai. In a villa.
"Brother Shui, how's your new movie going?"
"We wrapped up filming yesterday."
"Then it must have been hard on you these past few days."
"Yeah, I've been injured all over and my arm is still hurting. Come, bros, we haven't gathered together in two months. I've called everyone here today so that we can have some fun."
"Did you say … absorb some?"
"Yeah, I've already prepared everything."
"Heh, Brother Shui is still the most loyal."
"It's my treat today. Come on, come on!"
Not long after, police sirens blared as two police cars surrounded the villa!
…
Elsewhere.
At Zhang Ye's parents' house.
60 seconds!
120 seconds!
150 seconds!
300 seconds!
Only then did Zhang Ye deactivate the Lucky Halo (Upgraded). The seconds had also stopped running. Looking at his nearly empty Reputation Points, Zhang Ye was almost in tears. In just five minutes, he had spent 30 million Reputation Points. It had nearly used up all the Reputation Points he had accumulated from upgrading the system and using the lottery draw. After that incident at Peking University, the Reputation Points from the Public Service Announcement, there was basically nothing left!
It was too expensive!
It was too fucking expensive!
But he didn't know how effective it would be. If he could really get a big surprise, then it would be worth it no matter how many Reputation Points he spent. After all, wasn't the Reputation Points he had been accumulating for this purpose? As long as it could increase his reputation, it didn't matter how much he spent!
