Kieran raised his head and sized up the middle-aged man.
Somehow, the kind smile on the man's face was gone, leaving behind a strange expression and his eyes were shining with greed.
It seemed like the man wouldn't tell Kieran what the second part was for free.
"Don't want to."
Kieran shook his head right away.
Relying on cheating to win once might seem easy, but you would lose a lot more.
Kieran believed it.
It was similar to when you modified your character in a joking game. Although it was a temporary pleasure, it would ultimately lead to extreme disappointment.
You would lose the chance to experience the fun of a game.
More importantly, Kieran never believed that there was no free lunch in the world.
Lyn Amie's reminder before he left was too obvious.
The man obviously didn't think Kieran would reject him so straightforwardly, so he couldn't help but be stunned.
However, he quickly recovered and showed the kind smile on his face again.
"I was just joking just now."
I'm just an assistant director, how would I know the confidential content? "
"Nice to meet you, 2567."
"Good luck!"
The man left the dressing room in a hurry as if nothing had happened.
However, Kieran squinted his eyes at the man's back. Although the man tried to cover up his words, Kieran still caught something.
When he mentioned 'assistant director', the man unconsciously emphasized the word 'confidential', and when he mentioned the 'confidential content', the kind smile on his face had an extra sense of mockery.
Kieran believed he wouldn't be the man's final destination.
He also believed he wouldn't be the last to reject.
He also believed there would be more who agreed.
The temptation of becoming famous overnight was too big.
It was so big that a lot of people gave up their perseverance.
In fact, in a lot of people's eyes, giving up didn't even go against their perseverance.
Or …
Their perseverance was to become famous overnight.
Who knew?
Kieran leaned back on his chair again and started to perfect his plan. He needed the same opportunity, but he chose to do it in his own way.
Dok, Dok Dok.
Knocks came from the door.
The makeup artist stood at the door with a tray in her hand. On the tray were two paper cups and a plate filled with snacks and biscuits.
Kieran glanced at the tray.
"Please come in."
He said so.
"This is the afternoon tea provided by our TV station."
"Coffee, cookies and mango mousse."
"Do you need sugar and milk?"
Lyn Amie walked to Kieran.
"I'll do it myself."
Kieran raised his hand to take the tray. After adding enough milk and sugar to the coffee, he raised his hand to pick up the cookies. The cookies were slightly warm, and it was obvious that they had just been baked.
When the sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue, Kieran's cold expression relaxed a little.
Then, he picked up the mango mousse.
Unlike the baked cookies, the mango mousse was taken out from the fridge. It was slightly cold, and Kieran was sure it must have been frozen solid inside, so he should have left it for a while to get a better taste. However, Kieran picked up a piece and took a big bite.
The cold sweetness was followed closely by the warm sweetness.
Different temperatures naturally brought different sweetness, but when the two were combined, there was an indescribable sense of comfort and satisfaction.
Kieran squinted his eyes. He took a sip of his coffee and squinted his eyes into a line.
It was different from the tea.
The mellow coffee had a stronger bitterness.
Therefore, milk and sugar became the best partners.
The mellow coffee became more fragrant.
It was very refreshing.
Under Lyn Amie's astonished gaze, the tea in the tray disappeared with exponential speed.
"Thank you."
Kieran thanked her after swallowing the last piece of biscuit.
"You didn't have lunch?"
Lyn Amie asked blankly.
"I did."
Kieran answered.
"Then you?"
Lyn Amie pointed at the tray in confusion.
"Good appetite."
Kieran answered seriously.
"Then do you want more?"
Lyn Amie looked at the empty tray and recalled how Kieran ate just now. He couldn't help but salivate uncontrollably. Hunger rose in his heart, and he wished he could eat something right away. Of course, Lyn Amie didn't forget about Kieran.
"Okay."
Kieran nodded without a second thought.
After Lyn Amie ran four times, Kieran's name was called again.
It was Assistant Director Lee, whom he met before.
The assistant director twisted his chubby body and looked at Kieran cautiously.
The TV station was the fastest place to spread information. What happened to the host, cameraman, and lighting engineer had spread like wildfire in a short amount of time.
'Like a beast has its eyes on me!'
'My body is shaking and I don't listen to orders!'
'Scared to the point I almost cried!'
Such descriptions could be seen everywhere, even though the person who said it had never seen Kieran before.
Plus, the show was called 'Shaman', so some guesses were added to Kieran's name.
Mystery attracted people not only because it represented the unknown, but more importantly … the unknown would bring fear.
Just like Assistant Director Lee at the moment.
Looking at the expressionless Kieran, he felt like everything about him was seen through.
Including the good.
Including the bad.
"Y-You, come with me."
Assistant Director Li stammered as he quickly walked downstairs.
If it was possible, he didn't want to have any contact with Kieran, just like the host, Max, who refused to host any segment with Kieran.
Unfortunately, he didn't have Max's position.
All he could do was brace himself.
He would try his best to end the contact as soon as possible.
Kieran followed the man, and they quickly entered the studio downstairs one after another.
Unlike the corridor where the host, lighting, cameramen and contestants were excluded, there were hundreds of audience members in the studio.
When Kieran walked in, the audience applauded.
Obviously, they had seen Kieran's performance before.
Of course, it was just a routine job.
In order to make the studio seem less empty, some extras were necessary. Although sitting for several hours in a row and only getting paid for a meal seemed a little cheap, in the face of the curiosity of the TV station, there was still an endless stream of people, especially young people.
At the moment, most of the audience members were young people.
When Kieran glanced over them, the young people were also looking at Kieran.
Compared to the other contestants, Kieran was too normal.
There were no crystal balls, no wands, no feather decorations, and no tattoos that looked like they were full of mystery.
Normal, normal.
Other than his expressionless, cold face, which was a little surprising, he was just a normal person.
He didn't match the rumored shaman at all.
The audience's thoughts represented the other contestants' thoughts.
The four weirdly dressed contestants standing at the side of the stage were either looking at Kieran with disdain or provocation, until the host's voice came from the studio.
"Welcome, everyone!
I'm Max!
Because of a small reason, I have to go on stage later. Now, the stage belongs to all of you! "
Following his words, the stage trembled a little.
Three one-meter square, airtight boxes rose up from the inner part of the stage.
"Do you see these three boxes?"
We have placed a special item in one of the boxes. All you have to do now is to stand in front of the box that you think contains the special item.
Now … Begin! "
The moment the voice from the stage subsided, the four weirdly dressed contestants walked straight to the box on the right side of the stage.
As for Kieran?
