Chapter 57: I Can't Be a Drama Queen
We had a very enjoyable few hours of gaming.
The last few people even took the initiative to add Shen Jian as a WeChat friend.
This can be considered as building another network of contacts.
Back in the hotel room.
Shen Jian took a shower, planning to have some late-night snacks before going to bed.
Just then, my phone beeped with WeChat.
Upon opening it, I found it was a message from the business group.
[Liangmu: Mr. Yang, have you arrived? I'll be there in a couple of days.]
[Yang Tianzhen: We've arrived, don't worry.]
[Shen Jian: The first day without A Liang, I miss him...]
[Ryogi:...]
[Lin Youyou: Disgusting~]
[Yang Tianzhen: @Shen Jian, you're back from your trip? Everything's alright, right?]
[Shen Jian: It's nothing, we just played games with Mao Buyi and Meng Ziyi.]
[Lin Youyou: Wow, playing with Sister Meng and Mao Mao! I'm so envious!]
[Yoshiki: You know them all?]
[Shen Jian: Yeah, they're all friends.]
[Ryogi:...]
[Yang Tianzhen: @Shen Jian, get some rest. Tomorrow you'll go to the show's set to familiarize yourself with the environment and meet some contestants. We'll be divided into groups. Also, review the stand-up comedy script I prepared for you, so you don't stumble on stage.]
[Shen Jian: Aren't there teleprompters?]
[Yang Tianzhen: You look like a teleprompter, so you'd better memorize it properly!]
[Shen Jian: Alright, Sister Yang, since that's the case, I have no choice but to reveal my identity as the copy of Kakashi, 'Xia Linggang'! Activate!]
[Yang Tianzhen: What are you saying?!]
[Master Zhu: Sharingan.]
[Ryogi:...]
[Lin Youyou: ...]
[Zhang Shan: ...]
[Li Si: ...]
[One more hilarious joke]
...
...
[King of Jokes (Level 3): 300/300 Completed]
[Down-to-earth (Level 2): 200/200 Completed]
[Foodie (Level 1): 100/100 Completed]
[Note: The following characters have completed their current progress: "King of Jokes," "Down-to-earth," and "Foodie."]
[Reward Character Points: 6]
[Note: The character card slots are full (3). To exchange for a new character card, you need to purchase a paid card slot. Pay 4 character points to purchase the 4th card slot. (The 5th card slot requires 5 points, and so on.)]
Alternatively: You can sell one of your three character cards to replace it.
"..."
Sitting on the sofa in the hotel room.
Shen Jian looked at the prompts on the panel in front of him and began to think silently.
Actually, three free card slots are quite a lot.
After all, it's impossible to cram all the labels and personas into one person at once.
However, he needs more diverse character profiles and to showcase a variety of talents; that is his ultimate goal.
After all, it's always good to have more skills.
Of course, it's okay if you don't get what you want in the end.
Since I'm not good enough myself, I can just let Yang Tianzhen try harder.
There are many ways to become a top influencer.
You don't necessarily have to be exceptionally talented; you can achieve the same result by spending money.
Only look at the results.
The process is self-explanatory.
Shen Jian has always been such a "pragmatic" person.
Look back at the panel.
He currently has a total of 6 character point rewards.
Buying a card slot is also an option.
But he still needs to improve his skills to prepare for his upcoming stand-up comedy performances.
According to Wang Jianguo and Xu Zhisheng, many of the contestants are top performers from major stand-up comedy labels in China, each one a legend.
They perform at least a hundred shows every year and are very experienced.
Therefore,
He ultimately decided to sell a persona as a replacement.
Currently, both his "hit-making king" and "down-to-earth" personas are useful to him.
One has already lit up two talent trees.
One is more likable and can attract fans.
It is basically irreplaceable.
In the end, only the "foodie" persona remained.
It has now reached Level 1 completion and is eligible for sale.
Compared to the previous two characters, she seems to have less presence.
Shen Jian decided to sell the food item first, and then try his luck again to see if he could get a satisfactory new character card.
"Selling foodie profiles."
[Note: The current Foodie character's status is at level 1 completion, meeting the selling requirements. This will be converted into 1 point on the panel.]
If you draw it a second time, you'll need to make a second purchase (2 points). (Double the amount applies.)
"confirm."
[Sold successfully!]
Current remaining points: 7
[Prompt: Upgrade or unlock the talent tree?]
Shen Jian: "Upgrade, oratory performance."
[Note: Your current speaking skills are at the expert level. To upgrade to the master level, you need to spend 4 points.]
"OK."
[Note: Payment successful]
[Talent Tree: Eloquence and Performance (Master) - Joketelling (Proficient) - ?]
After the upgrade is complete.
A familiar itchy sensation returned.
Shen Jianneng could clearly sense that it was even more obvious than the last time.
His sudden fluency was constantly amplified in his speech.
Even the vocal cords developed a kind of muscle memory.
A few minutes later.
Shen Jian opened his eyes, moved his face, and seemed to feel as if stars could appear when he spoke.
He thought of Stephen Chow's movies.
I wonder if it's also possible to describe something straight as curved.
Remaining points: 3
[Prompt: Do you wish to redeem the new character card?]
"exchange."
[Hint: 1 point is being used to randomly select... A. Personality Trait; B. Talent Area; C. Life Identity; D. Industry Overview.]
A: Eat peaches
B: Drama Queen
C: Grassroots Rise to Success
D: A low-profile artist
Please select.
Shen Jian looked at the options and his lips twitched.
Want to eat peaches?
Go to hell!
Continuing to look at the results, both CD and CD are still not suitable for his current situation.
If it had started earlier, perhaps we could have begun from the grassroots.
But now he has 200 million fans and is a top agent under Yang Tianzhen's management. With such a prestigious status, he can no longer be considered a grassroots figure.
As for being low-key... well, it's just not in my destiny.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the only option is to choose "drama queen".
Shen Jian thought for a moment.
Although it doesn't sound like a respectable persona.
But it's at least related to 'performance', right?
Perhaps it can cultivate some acting-related talents, which will definitely be of great benefit to one's future career development.
"Choose bi."
[Selection successful!]
[Drama Queen (Level 1) 0/100 (Completion Reward: 1 point)]
[Rules: You must act out the scene in public; it won't count if you do it in private.]
Remaining points: 2
"Light up the acting talent tree."
Looking at the new character design.
Shen Jian couldn't wait to light up a talent tree and see what it was like.
[Hint: Consuming 1 point, the "Drama Queen" related talent tree is being lit up...]
[Analysis: Drama queen/king, histrionic personality disorder, characterized by dramatic behavior and language, exaggerated emotions, and a need to master various performance techniques.]
[Drama Queen Persona - Talent Tree: How to Laugh → ?]
[Laughter Technique (Mastery) Proficiency: 0/100]
[Tip: You can directly purchase levels, or complete proficiency tests to reach the required level.]
"Laughter can be considered a talent?"
[Tip: Mastering multiple types of laughter makes you a true drama queen/king.]
Shen Jian stared blankly at the panel for half a second.
Although this is indeed related to acting skills.
But something still feels off.
But since I've already started, I have to grit my teeth and go through with it.
I thought about it.
He took out his phone and made a video call to Lin Youyou.
The call was connected very quickly.
Lin Youyou: Aren't you going to sleep yet?
Shen Jian sneered: "Hmph, have you forgotten what you did to me?"
Lin Youyou: "You're so schizophrenic!"
[Drama Queen +1]
[Laughter Method +1]
Dudu-
The video call ended.
Is that all?
He then called Liangmu.
Yoshiki: "What's wrong?"
Shen Jian chuckled, "Ah Liang, I feel so sad at night without you."
Liangmu: "So much drama in the middle of the night, go to sleep!"
Beep beep - hang up.
[Drama Queen +1]
[Laughter Method +1]
feasible.
I called Li Si.
Li Si: "What's wrong?"
Shen Jian: "Hahaha!"
Li Si: "..."
[Laughter Method +1]
Call Zhang Shan.
Shen Jian: "Hehehe."
Zhang Shan: "..."
[Laughter Method +1]
can.
It seems they've found their rhythm.
Shen Jian finally dialed Yang Tianzhen's WeChat.
Yang Tianzhen: "You'd better have something to do by 12 o'clock."
One second later.
"...Hehehe~"
Yang Tianzhen: "Are you sick?!"
Dudu---
[Laugh +1]
[Drama Queen +1]
