When Liu Rulan arrived at the office, she saw Xiao He pacing back and forth inside.
What's wrong with him?
Liu Rulan asked with some surprise.
"Brother Xiao is probably nervous."
Xiao Chen answered honestly.
Who's nervous?
Xiao He immediately turned on the camera.
"You really should get nervous. Here's the schedule for the upcoming performances."
As Liu Rulan spoke, she pushed the documents she had put down in front of Xiao He.
"There's another performance?"
Speaking of acting, Xiao He is now having a headache, as if he is suffering from the aftereffects of Lu Yuxi's incident.
Moreover, despite the fact that his two previous performances were quite good, many bloggers later criticized his singing performance.
Ultimately, they concluded that Xiao He was indeed more suited to the path of acting.
After all, dancing can be compensated for with body movements, but singing... acting skills can't fool the audience's ears.
Xiao He, who saw this video at the time: ...
That's very sad.
Xiao He had already sworn that he would never perform on stage again and would be a quiet actor from now on.
However, things did not go as planned.
"Can we not sing?"
Xiao He tried to struggle.
"At least don't sing too much. This kind of performance is fine once or twice, but if it happens too often, the audience won't like it, right?"
Liu Rulan raised an eyebrow, then chuckled softly, "Indeed, then let's not sing, but perform what you're good at."
Perform what I'm good at?
Xiao He's mind automatically flashed to his "strength"—murder, arson, disposing of the body and fleeing?
This...this probably can't be performed, right?
Xiao He humbly inquired, "What is it?"
"A stage play!"
Liu Rulan reminded her with a smile.
"Stage play?"
Xiao He looked surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "That is indeed a good idea!"
He definitely prefers acting to singing!
Give him a script and he can act!
This is much more relaxing than singing!
Xiao He thought Liu Rulan was a genius.
"However, I must remind you that there is a big difference between stage plays and acting in front of the camera. Even if your acting skills are good now, you still need to study and understand the techniques and performance methods of stage plays."
Liu Rulan reminded her.
Don't worry!
Xiao He clenched his fist: "I can act!"
Compared to the dazzling idols on stage, his fans might prefer to see his brilliant performances as an actor on stage.
Liu Rulan: "Okay, it's settled then. I'll send you the script later. Here are the guests for this event. Take a look and see if you can invite a few more to help out."
She gestured for Xiao He to turn to the next page.
Xiao He flipped through the pages and, sure enough, found a long list.
Among them, several of Xiao He's closest friends, such as Shu Han, Liu Zehang, and Pu Rong, would attend his birthday party. There were also other people he'd met while working on the film crew, and even some whose relationship with Xiao He was really just casual...
Xiao He was somewhat shocked when he saw the long list.
Has his network of connections really grown so extensive?
While some of them may be just trying to ride the wave of popularity, the sheer number of people is truly staggering.
Keep in mind, his birthday party was during the Spring Festival!
For many people in the industry, they are busy 365 days a year, and the only time they might have a little rest is during the Spring Festival.
The invited guests were actually willing to give up part of their vacation just to attend his birthday party... To be honest, Xiao He never thought he actually had such influence that he could get them to attend.
Liu Rulan calmly replied, "There are still some parts we haven't received accurate answers to, so what you're seeing now isn't the final guest invitation list."
Xiao He: "...But it just feels a bit too exaggerated."
Liu Rulan frowned and glanced at the list: "Is this an exaggeration?"
Xiao He nodded vigorously: "That's an exaggeration."
"Of course it's not that shabby," Liu Rulan chuckled. "I guarantee you'll be trending for three days and three nights."
This is a huge show of respect for Xiao He! It's a symbol of status within the industry!
Xiao He was speechless and could only chuckle.
He was immediately met with a glare and a mocking look from Liu Rulan: "You have no ambition!"
Then Liu Rulan closed the folder and waved her hand casually: "You should rehearse first. You have a few advertising endorsements to deal with in a few days. Once you've finished those, you can focus on preparing for the birthday party."
Xiao He: "...Okay."
After Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen left the office, Xiao He looked at his phone calendar with a bitter expression.
"More than half a month... that's such a tight schedule, sigh—"
He sighed and reopened his system interface.
Immediately, Xiao He noticed that his points had decreased.
"Why?"
Xiao He was startled.
Where are my points? How did they disappear for no reason?
Xiao He recalled that when he closed the interface earlier, he had inadvertently swiped near the lottery button, and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
No way, really?
This system lottery interface also caused him to accidentally tap it.
Are you kidding me? Are you desperate for points? Are you deliberately trying to scam me?
Where's your face? I'm asking you, where's your face?
I haven't even decided yet!
Xiao He's hands trembled as he checked the system notification bar, afraid of seeing something he shouldn't.
The next moment, the prize he had accidentally touched jumped back in front of him—
【Congratulations on achieving "Absolute Accuracy"! It has been automatically learned.】
【Absolute Hit Details: Precisely aim at your prey; no one can escape your sight—perhaps granting your prey a brief period of freedom is also part of your game?】
Xiao He was a little dumbfounded when he saw this pop-up window.
Absolute accuracy?
Damn, is this another conceptual god?
Xiao He casually picked up a pen from the table and tossed it into the air. The pen then flew through the air in a fast and precise arc before landing steadily in an empty glass on the coffee table in the distance.
Xiao He: !!!
Although I can't think of any use for this skill in the short term, it's just too overpowered! It's another god-level skill!
Doesn't that mean that as long as something is within his field of vision, he can hit it if he wants to?
Putting everything else aside, it's ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) already super cool to use it to show off!
And most importantly—this time it was a one-shot kill!
For a moment, Xiao He truly felt that his luck had turned around!
It was a perfect shot! Even if the system deliberately tricked him into accidentally triggering the button, it was still a perfect shot!
However, at the same time, Xiao He finally sensed the system's attempt to curry favor.
Something's not right. When did the system start treating him so well?
The last time he was sick, he immediately gave me a 【Recovery+】 skill. This time he didn't even bother with acting; he just pulled out a miracle right away.
Could it be that the system is getting impatient because he performs well in his tasks and deliberately avoids participating in the lottery?
An evil little man automatically popped into Xiao He's mind.
"Hehehe, it's getting anxious, it's getting anxious!"
