Chapter 10 finally has some characters!
Shen Youchu has exhausted all the gentleness of girls from Sichuan and Chongqing, and that's absolutely true.
Tian Xiwei is no longer human! She's a complete raging Sichuan-Chongqing tyrant.
Before she could finish speaking, Xu An decisively hung up the phone.
Tian Xiwei felt her chest swell up from Xu An's anger!
Unable to do anything about Xu An, they could only turn their attention to their roommate.
"Xiaotian, what are you doing? I advise you to calm down!"
"No, please don't pinch me..."
Xu An, of course, was unaware of what had happened; he was still busy collecting attributes.
[Irritability +1], this is an attribute dropped by an anonymous passerby.
[Assembly Line Dialogue +1], this is an attribute dropped by a supporting character.
Fatigue constitution +3
Don't underestimate this physique; with three attribute points added at once, you can't be picky.
It's worth mentioning that this attribute was revealed by Zhai Tianlin yet again.
In order to portray the genuine trembling of Yang Xiu before his death, he deliberately stayed up all night until he was exhausted.
It was a little after 4 p.m.
Xu An gained a bit more physical strength, and immediately felt like he was floating on air.

upgrade!
The original Lv1 physique was instantly upgraded to Lv2.
Xu An had been busy all day and was exhausted, but the moment his physique was upgraded, all the fatigue vanished, replaced by boundless energy.
I'm going to take on ten!
"Brother Xu, what's wrong? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
Xu An ignored the extras' comments and laughed incessantly, as if he had eaten honeydew.
"By the way, Brother Xu, can we settle our payment today? The brothers have been filming here for a week, but we haven't seen a single penny."
These words were spoken.
Xu An, who had been grinning foolishly, instantly stopped smiling.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
Assistant Director Lu is like a contractor; the crew pays the extras upfront, and then he distributes the money.
"Let's eat first. After we eat, I'll take you to see Assistant Director Lu."
"Hehe, I knew Brother Xu was reliable!"
Even though he's almost forty, his address of "Brother Xu" is truly heartfelt.
After dinner, Xu An was preparing to take his men to find Assistant Director Lu.
Unexpectedly, he came on his own initiative, and the extras all showed obsequious smiles when they saw him.
Only Xu An frowned.
"That's right, I heard you've been working very hard, you must have been getting impatient, right? I came here specifically to pay you your wages."
That old schemer has so many tricks up his sleeve. He won over a lot of people with just a few words, and they're all being sold out and still have to count the money for him.
"There are a lot of people here, please follow me."
He led everyone to a small hut nearby, where the film remuneration he had prepared for them was already laid out.
Inside a large black bag were stacks of neatly bundled red banknotes.
Assistant Director Lu narrowed his eyes: "The money's all here. Are you going to take it yourselves, or should I distribute it to you?"
"Of course you should allocate them; we know the rules."
"Yes, Director Lu, with your presence, we'll be relying on you for our livelihood from now on."
"How dare we overstep our bounds? We're all your soldiers; if you tell us to go east, we'll never go west!"
Flattering words flowed from their mouths as if they were free, and the smile on Assistant Director Lu's lips was harder to suppress than AK's.
To Xu An's relief, this cunning old man actually didn't exploit anyone; everyone received their due, except for Xu An himself!
After the last person had received their payment, Assistant Director Lu told the extras to go back and rest.
Once they got the money, they forgot about Xu An and left in a hurry.
Only Lao Yinbi and Xu An remained in the room.
"Are you trying to say why you weren't paid?"
"No, Director Lu must think I did something wrong."
"You did a great job. The reason you didn't take out your money is because you're different from them. I can see that you're a person with dreams."
Xu An looked up at the old schemer. Although the old schemer had a smile on his lips, it made Xu An's nerves tense.
"You're a good person in every way, except you're too defensive."
"Director Lu, you're right."
"I used your money to get you a new role. It's not a big one, but at least you have lines and you're no longer just a background character."
The room was silent for a full minute before Xu An looked up and glanced at the cunning old man.
Using his money as a favor, that's really the style of an old sly man!
"Don't look at me. You should know that some people can't get roles even if they have money."
"No, I wanted to thank Director Lu. I'll definitely treat you to a meal sometime to properly thank you for your guidance."
"There's no time like the present; today seems like a good day."
"..."
"Alright, kid, don't act all innocent after getting a good deal. If it weren't for the casting director of the 'Demon Girl' production team being an acquaintance of mine, I might not have been able to get this role."
A half-demon beauty?
Isn't this Li Yitong's first drama?
Speaking of which, Li Yitong is really lucky. She was spotted by Yu Chaochao right after her debut, and her first drama was as the female lead. Her career has been smooth sailing ever since.
People like that are usually the main characters, unlike Xu An, who's a good guy who's just playing a minor role!
Of all the extras in China, only Baoqiang has come up with this one; he's already collected taxes a hundred years from now.
"What are you still standing there for? Are you really going to treat me to dinner?" Assistant Director Lu sneered.
"Of course I'll treat you to dinner! You're so kind to me. By the way, when can I join this film crew?"
"Forget about dinner, just go the day after tomorrow. I'll let someone know in advance. You don't need me to tell you the address, do you?"
"No need, no need, I'll just find out myself tomorrow."
[Fake expression +1]
[Weak constitution +1]
After absorbing the two orbs of light, Xu An stepped out of the room, and his face immediately darkened.
I thought becoming a substitute would allow me to earn more money, but I never expected that this cunning old man would take it all.
He didn't believe that it would cost money to acquire a minor character; the money must have ended up in the pocket of that cunning old man.
On another note, Old Yinbi seems a bit weak. It's only a small amount of money, yet he's exhausted like this. Has his body been completely drained by the girls?
On the way back, Xu An kept thinking about what to do in the future.
If he had a choice, he would never have stayed by that cunning old man's side; now he has no other option.
I don't know what kind of role that cunning old man found for me, but I've gained quite a few attribute points, so I can finally show off my skills. If I perform well, I might even get to know some other people.
"Hey guys, my filming is almost finished, you guys have to come watch it!"
As soon as Xu An entered the room, he heard Liu Yuning's voice.
His words brought a hint of relief to Xu An's face. Leaning against the doorway, he asked:
"Are you leaving?"
