A few experts and industry insiders gave it high marks.
A few math problems became a hot topic among the netizens.
There were even a few discussion forums that had Zhang Ye's elementary math questions posted on their homepage, showing them to the netizens. Those who did not follow Zhang Ye's class on Weibo also knew about these questions. They were all tricked by these scam traps and shouted in anger. They kept mentioning Zhang Ye's name and started denouncing him for the umpteenth time today!
"I'm so angry that I'm crying!"
"These problems are too infuriating!"
"It's not the problems that are infuriating, it's Teacher Zhang who is infuriating!"
"Teacher Zhang, please come out. We promise not to beat you to death!"
"How can you scam us like this!"
Zhang Ye had angered the masses. His crimes were too numerous to list.
However, when Zhang Ye saw this, he closed Weibo with a smile and ran away. He looked at his watch again. Holy sh * t, it was already 9: 50 pm. After joking around with everyone, he didn't realize that it was already so late. He turned his head and looked behind him. Chen-chen was still on the sofa watching cartoons without blinking.
"It's off, it's off." Zhang Ye got out of bed.
Chenchen did not move, "I'll watch a little longer."
Zhang Ye said with a straight face, "We agreed to sleep at 10 PM. Don't think that no one will take care of you just because your aunt is not home. Go, brush your teeth and wash your face, then crawl into bed."
Chenchen was still staring at the television, "OK."
Zhang Ye switched off the television for her and carried her, "Let's go."
Chenchen's little face was rather unhappy.
Zhang Ye carried her and strolled to the bathroom. She was too short to reach, so Zhang Ye turned on the hot water for her to wash her face. Then he took out a new toothbrush and applied some toothpaste for her, "Brush your teeth. Heh, do you think it's easy for me? When your aunt comes back, I'll definitely get her to waive my rent for a year."
Chenchen brushed her teeth with a huff and a faint "Hur Hur" could be heard.
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at her, "Are you going back to your aunt's house tonight or sleep here with me?"
Chenchen spat out some toothpaste foam, "I'll sleep here."
"Alright, then you can sleep on the bed. I'll let you have the bed for now. I'll sleep on the sofa." Zhang Ye did not force the child to sleep on the sofa. He still behaved like an adult.
When she was done washing up, Zhang Ye also washed his face. When he came out, he saw that Chenchen had already crawled into bed. Her two hands were clutching the blanket in front of her chest as she laid down. Her posture was quite charmingly naive.
"Does the pillow fit?"
"Yes."
"Are you cold?"
"I'm not cold."
"Then sleep. Good night."
"… Oh."
Zhang Ye switched off the lights in the room, leaving only a small table lamp on. He did not rest so early. Over the past few days without work, he had been sleeping later and later, so he was still full of energy. He leaned back on the sofa.
What should I do?
I still don't have a job, so there's no point in doing anything!
What Zhang Ye urgently needed right now was a stable television program that could allow him to shine. He had set his goal of rising to the B-list rankings this year, but he had already achieved it before it was even the middle of the year. His next goal, needless to say, was to reach the A-list rankings. For this, he needed a television program that could steadily increase his popularity. But a good job was something that could only be discovered by chance, so Zhang Ye knew that he could not rush it. The only thing he could do now was to increase his core competitiveness and improve himself. That way, even if the other party felt that his character was not good, it would not obscure the beauty.
For example, Zhang Ye's hard work in recent days was all for this moment. Filming a movie, selling a program, solving a strange math problem, and rising to the B-list, he felt that a good job was not far away from him. Right now, there were probably many television stations that were evaluating and evaluating him. This was not because this fellow was blindly confident, but rather because he had an objective understanding of his own value. A B-list celebrity with a huge fan base, and a professional host at that, no television station would not be tempted. After all, the number of professional hosts in the country who could reach the B-list rankings and above could be counted on one's fingers. There were only about eight or nine of them, and any one of them would be at the level of a television station's pillar.
Yes, it was time for the lucky draw.
He wanted to test his skills and also prepare for his new job.
The game ring's screen could not be seen by anyone other than him, so Zhang Ye was not afraid that Chenchen would find out. He opened up the game interface and checked the total amount of Reputation Points he could squander.
— 31 million Reputation Points.
A few days ago, in order to find some work to do, Zhang Ye had spent a large sum of money to activate the upgraded version of the Lucky Halo and used up almost all of the Reputation Points he had saved up. These 30 million Reputation Points had just been earned in the past few days. Thinking about it this way, it could be said that it was rising very quickly. Zhang Ye was not a host for Do You Remember, nor did he appear on the show, so the amount of Reputation Points he had earned was clearly limited. 80% of these Reputation Points were probably earned by the movie Grandmasters. As a supporting character, and a villain at that, Zhang Ye felt that it was already pretty good that he had earned this amount of Reputation Points. If one day he were to become the lead actor and the movie's box office earnings exceeded 200 to 300 million, wouldn't the amount of Reputation Points he earned go crazy??
Hai, don't think too much about it. Let's focus on what's in front of us first.
The more capable you are, the more you can eat. Zhang Ye knew this very well. He could think about the future in the future. Right now, he had to focus on what he needed to do.
Come on!
He clicked on Lottery Draw (Two).
This was a new type of lottery draw that had been added after the system update. Using the slot machine once cost 10 million Reputation Points. Zhang Ye did not hesitate and immediately clicked on it.
It began!
The icons on the slot machine started to spin rapidly!
Stats Category …
Empty …
Empty …
Consumption Category …
Empty …
Skills Category …
It was constantly changing and dazzling!
In the previous Lottery Draw (One), when the needle spun slower towards the end, he could still make a slight prediction and there was a high chance that he would be able to accurately guess where the needle would land. But this new type of Lottery Draw (Two) was different. As it was a sliding wheel, the accuracy was very low and he could not make too many predictions. He could only make a rough guess. Seeing that the slot machine was spinning slower and slower, Zhang Ye did not even dare to blink as he stared intently at it.
Bada.
Bada.
The icons rolled past one by one.
Suddenly, one of the icons seemed to have not run out of energy. It looked like it was about to move further down, but it suddenly lost its last bit of momentum. Bada, it stopped!
Zhang Ye's vision darkened!
The final icon was — empty!
10 million Reputation Points gone down the drain! He did not get anything at all!
Zhang Ye felt the pinch as he gritted his teeth indignantly and ran to the bathroom to wash his hands. Then when he came back, he immediately spent another 10 million to buy Lottery Draw (Two)!
Again!
I don't believe it!
The slot machine started rolling again. Shua shua shua shua. The icons were flashing so fast that it was impossible to see them clearly at first. But as time passed, it started to slow down.
Bada — Consumption Category.
Bada again — Special Category.
Zhang Ye was screaming in his mind. Stop, stop here!
In the end, the slot machine did not listen to him. It slowly spun down another slot and stopped right there!
Empty!
Empty again!
Zhang Ye's face turned green. Fuck, is this bro that unlucky today? 20 million! He just threw it out like that? He didn't even hear a sound? He hated it so much that he was cursing all 18 generations of Lottery Draw (Two)'s ancestors in his mind. What a scam! What a scam! This Lottery Draw (Two) that was updated by the system was different from Lottery Draw (One). Although Lottery Draw (One) also had a chance of getting an empty Treasure Chest, Zhang Ye had probably only gotten an empty Treasure Chest once or twice in the past. But for Lottery Draw (Two), from the rolling icons, it could be seen that for every Consumption Category or Stats Category icon, there would almost always be an "empty" Treasure Chest. If he was unlucky, there would even be two "empty" Treasure Chests connected together. If that was the case, the probability of getting an empty Treasure Chest was simply too high. Just like today, if he made a mistake, he would end up empty-handed twice and lose 20 million Reputation Points just like that!
In the past, Zhang Ye had always had his fair share of wins and losses at the lottery draw, but overall, his luck was still quite good. For example, for the Special Category item that had an extremely low probability of getting an item in the Merchant Shop, he had gotten it a few times. That was a very low probability of getting an item in the Special Category. Sometimes, even if he did not get a good item at the start, he would still get something good later on. But today, Zhang Ye had really suffered a loss. There was no good luck accompanying him.
I'm not going to draw this anymore. It's too scary!
Zhang Ye tapped on the screen and went back to Lottery Draw (One)'s interface. Although the items here were not as good as the ones in Lottery Draw (Two) and were worlds apart in terms of quality, Lottery Draw (One)'s advantage was that it was safe. The chances of losing were very low, so no matter what, he would at least get something real and not waste his Reputation Points. Hence, with his bad luck, Zhang Ye did not hesitate to choose the lower-tier lottery draw!
100,000 Reputation Points for 1 Stake.
Very quickly, the compass needle began to move!
One round …
Five rounds …
Ten rounds …
It was getting slower and the situation became clearer.
Zhang Ye saw that the needle had a higher chance of stopping at the Stats Category. Thinking about it, he had not Added Stakes in this Category much in the past. Most of his Reputation Points had been spent on the Skills Category and had always neglected the Stats Category. Hence, he wanted to balance out his overall quality. For example, the Fruits of Charm and Height that he had gotten in the past were all very good. Hence, he had an idea and immediately clicked on the Additional Stakes function!
How much should he add?
Add 100 Stakes!
Clicking on Confirm, another 10 million Reputation Points were added!
In the end, the compass continued to move. The needle slowly moved, and as expected, it stopped at the Stats Category area. Shua shua shua, 101 Golden Treasure Chests (Small) appeared!
Zhang Ye no longer felt anything about what he had gotten. He felt that anything was fine as long as the treasure chest was not f * * king empty!
Open!
Opening the lid, the treasure chest shone brightly!
[Fruit of Agility] x 101: Effective upon consumption. Increases Agility.
It's that again?
It's the Fruit of Agility again?
Zhang Ye still remembered that he had gotten this item in the lottery draw before the system update. That time, he had gotten 20 of them. If he ate all of them this time, wouldn't he have 121 of them? This item couldn't be said to be useless, but it didn't mean much, right?
Zhang Ye's tears nearly rolled down his cheeks. How tragic, this lottery draw was really tragic. But what could he do? He had already drawn it and couldn't get a refund, so he held back his tears as he ate the Fruits of Agility one by one. He had experimented with this item the last time he ate it. To be precise, it didn't really increase his speed in the traditional sense, but rather, it increased his reaction speed. Indeed, after he finished eating the 101 Fruits of Agility, Zhang Ye moved his arms and felt that his body had become much more agile. It was especially light. His brain had just issued a command and his body had already completed the action. He was much faster than a normal person, although this speed was measured in microseconds and could not be seen with the naked eye.
Hai, forget it.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Who knew, it might come in handy in the future. Experience and practice had proven that every time he drew an item from the lottery draw, no matter how trashy the item or skill, it would still have its uses. It was just a matter of whether he knew how to use it or if he used it in the right place.
Zhang Ye consoled himself as he ended the lottery draw. He was left with the pitiful 1 million Reputation Points. It was better not to touch it and save it for emergencies.
