Chapter 168 Book signing event (Part 2)

System: [Question, What should I do if I encounter parents and acquaintances while fooling around outside? ]

Chu Xiuyan made a prompt decision: [As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed! Besides, the world is so big, it is reasonable for a few strangers with similar looks to appear - by the way, it is very abnormal for these guys to get together! ]

He narrowed his eyes, ignoring the horrified expression of squad leader Lin Jie and the sinister look of his uncle Chu Wenxi, and looked directly at the man in sunglasses standing in front of him. He smiled again and said enthusiastically, "Sir, where is your seat? There are free popcorn, herbal tea, and fruit platters in the venue~"

"Ah, OK, thank you. But... uh," the man in sunglasses bent down slightly, his eyes behind the sunglasses slightly cramped and embarrassed, and whispered: "Can I buy tickets on the spot here? You need to buy tickets, right? Me? I can buy them at a high price."

Chu Xiuyan's smile froze, and the staff turned around to look at the man in sunglasses. They looked him up and down, and said to the venue manager through the headset, "There is someone who came in without a ticket. He probably went to the wrong floor. There is a large business conference on the fifth floor... OK, sir, please go this way."

The man in sunglasses followed the staff into the venue, his expression visibly relaxed, and said, "Are we going to buy tickets?"

The staff led the way directly to the right corridor. "No, I'm taking you to the fifth floor."

The expression of the man in sunglasses changed instantly, and he began to pester the staff and rack his brains to try to stay in the meeting place here.

......

[Even though you don't seem to know me?, this silly energy is too familiar. 】

Through the system broadcasting the conversation in the corridor, it can be known that this young man in sunglasses who is 80% similar to "Cui Zhiyong" just strayed in, and his words and deeds do not show any signs of being familiar with Chu Xiuyan.

You know, the Taoist system used the host's body as a reference when shaping the body of "Yun Yan", which means that the similarity between "Yun Yan" and Chu Xiuyan is as high as 90%. Anyone who is familiar with them can tell at a glance that the two are definitely related.

System: [Compared to that guy, I think you should pay more attention to the Kashiwagi Unit-2 that is spinning around and taking photos with you like crazy, a crazy version of the second dimension.]

Chu Xiuyan smiled and squinted at the camera, looking at the young man with glasses who was almost identical to "Bai Qu" except for the hair and eye color, holding a mobile phone full of photos with an extremely excited look. In his impression, Bai Qu was always the dark, calm, and thoughtful squinting-eyed man. Therefore, in this comparison, the guy in front of him seemed particularly strange and novel.

[The difference is so big, so weird, take another look?, take another look?......]

Chu Xiuyan couldn't help but take a few more glances? When Chu Wenxi looked at him coldly, he retracted his gaze and continued to lead people to their seats.

Lin Jie's friend didn't know Chu Xiuyan, but she knew the lively Yunyan group at the comic exhibition, so she asked curiously, "Are you all cosplaying Yunyan? Did the organizer invite you to come?"

Chu Xiuyan noticed Lin Jie who was quietly observing behind her. When he turned around, he lowered his head and picked up his phone, pretending to be busy. He smiled and replied, "To be precise, it was us who took the initiative to help and liven up the atmosphere before the opening..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a broken voice suddenly rang out from the stage at the front of the venue, with a faint sound of electricity. Seeing the red-haired boy singing on the stage, Chu Xiuyan's expression changed slightly. He turned his head quickly and saw Zheng Xu, who was returning to the venue with Cui Zhiyong's Unit 2 with a look of relief on his face, not far away. He hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and get that tone-deaf guy off the stage!"

Zheng Xu, who was also cosplaying as "Yun Yan", pointed to an empty seat for Cui Zhiyong's Unit 2, and then hurried over. Laughing? He giggled and said, "Got it, Captain!"

Boqu Unit 2 was attracted by Zheng Xu with a yin-yang hairstyle?

Chu Xiuyan led a few people to the left side of Building A. Lin Jie and her friends, Chu Wenxi and Bo Qu were all in Building A. There were three others left, they were in Building B on the right side, one of them was a blond man who looked like a Lion Boss cosplayer, another was a fully armed and black suspicious person, and the other was the young policeman Fang Shen who lived opposite the apartment.

Judging from Fang Shen's familiarity with that dark and suspicious man, he is probably his younger brother Fang Sinian, a senior in the art department of the university. However, he has not been seen for a while, so why did he become so sinister?

Chu Xiuyan felt a little strange.

Lion Boss Unit 2 seemed to be very familiar with this kind of occasion. It quickly found its position, took out a notebook from its bag, and began to operate something with a sad face. Looking from another angle, it was a remote online conference room. The face on the other side of the screen was also familiar. Mo Wei, the deputy of the ruined city Lion Boss and the former acting base commander, had a cold face and an extremely gloomy expression.

System: [It seems that this Lion Boss Unit 2 skipped work to attend the book signing event? Bad news, there seem to be too many coincidences. Good news, this group of people don’t seem to recognize your face. ]

Chu Xiuyan: [Even better news, I? I know their faces. I? Have a chance? To see the dark history of these people - a representative example, Boqu Unit 2, hehehehe.]

Boqu Unit 2 was holding a camera and pointing it at the stage? Taking photos like crazy. Chu Wenxi, who he obviously knew, had already gone? He went to the person in charge backstage to ask if he could change seats - his seat was actually next to Boqu Unit 2's.

Fate is wonderful beyond words.

After helping Fang Shen and his brother find a good seat, Chu Xiuyan prepared to return to the backstage lounge to prepare. Now, almost everyone in the venue has arrived and is singing along with the red-haired guy on the stage - why hasn't this tone-deaf guy been kicked out yet?

Chu Xiuyan looked around for Zheng Xu's figure. At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder. A cold air came over him, making Chu Xiuyan shiver.

He turned around suddenly and saw the "Fang Sinian" who was dressed in black and looked very suspicious standing quietly like a ghost. Behind him, the voice was soft and slow, with a familiar and strange aura, "Excuse me for interrupting for a moment, do you know the author of "Blood Crystal Catastrophe"? "

Chu Xiuyan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "This is a book signing event. Soon everyone here will know Mr. Lingyi."

System: [This guy is a bit weird. ]

Chu Xiuyan; [Damn, a snow monster appeared.]

system:【? 】

The lights suddenly dimmed, and a slight exclamation was heard in the venue. The members of the Yunyan group who were walking around and taking photos with the audience began to run to the first row of seats in Block A?

Chu Xiuyan also hurried over? To the first row of seats? .

"Oh my, I'll be able to meet Mr. Zero-One soon. How exciting!"

As soon as he sat down, he heard the tone-deaf redhead who had been singing on the stage for nearly fifteen minutes rubbing his hands excitedly and saying, "I wonder what kind of person he is. He must have something to talk about with us!"

Chu Xiuyan thought that this was quite interesting. There was definitely a lot to talk about in terms of how to cosplay Yunyan.

There were six members of Yunyan Team who were invited to the event. They were all the people who played together at the last comic exhibition. Zheng Xu, who had a yin-yang hair, was responsible for organizing the team. Of course, he did not reveal Chu Xiuyan's identity. At this moment, as the only one who knew that Chu Xiuyan was the author Lingyi, he was laughing secretly.

The host began to enter the room. It was Editor Chen. Contrary to his previous tired office worker look, he was now wearing a neat suit and his hair was gelled. He looked energetic and reliable.

The lights on the stage came on, and Editor Chen took the microphone and said seriously: "Dear readers and friends, hello. Welcome to today's book signing event. We are very honored to have invited the extremely aloof teacher Lingyi, but please rest assured that the real teacher Lingyi is definitely beyond your imagination. In addition, we have to thank an anonymous investor for his friendly sponsorship and technical support. The technical guidance for the corridor screen projection outside our venue was provided by that gentleman. Of course, in addition to this seemingly shy investor, there is another group of people who provided a lot of help for our book signing event, and that is the famous Yunyan Tiantuan group!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an extremely enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Chu Xiuyan stood up suddenly, as if he had something to say, causing the applause to stop instantly. Everyone was hesitating whether to continue applauding.

The red-haired guy next to him was shocked: "Wait? Do we need to stand up here?"

"Of course not, but I? Want to say hello to everyone."

Chu Xiuyan waved his arms towards the audience behind him and said happily, "Hey, look at me? Look at me? The leader of Yunyan Team, contestant number one, you must give me a cheer!"

There was laughter in the audience?

Someone joined in the fun and shouted, "When are you guys going to debut?"

Redhead stood up immediately, "I? I'm the second contestant who's great at singing and dancing. I? Want to debut as the center!!"

The people in the back row complained, "I won't vote for you. You just sang for fifteen minutes, and your voice was broken for fourteen minutes. Your ears are going deaf."

Chu Xiuyan pinched his chin and muttered to himself: "It's still me? This face is the best looking, right? Me? I can be a vase."

The red-haired man seemed to want to say something else, but someone else stood up. It was Zheng Xu, the yin-yang-haired man who was also there to join in the fun. He pretended to be serious and said, "Did you see the buffet area at the back of the venue? I cut all the fruit platters there. If anyone wants to eat watermelon and peaches, you can tell me secretly, and I'll go backstage and steal them for you."

Editor Chen coughed.

There was laughter again in the audience? The applause covered up Editor Chen's cough.

In Block A, Lin Jie used her phone to record a video. Although it was awkward for her classmates to feel their toes digging into the ground in the Yunyan group, she could pretend not to see them since they were far away.

I don't know when the Boqu No. 2 unit sneaked into the official camera crew and took pictures of the first row of groups.

Chu Wenxi, the "shy" investor and technical talent, sat in the corner of the field, listening to the on-site control report of AI 03, and didn't want to move his eyes to the first row at all.

In Block B, Fang Shen was also holding up his phone to take a photo. Next to him, Fang Sinian, who was in a dark mood, stared at the stage intently, as if he was looking for something.

Lion Boss Unit 2 turned down the volume of the online conference room to the lowest level and glanced quietly towards the first row, obviously looking forward to the opening.

Cui Zhiyong, who was sitting at the back, took off his sunglasses and looked ahead intently. His cell phone screen lit up, showing eight missed calls, but he didn't pay any attention to those calls.

Will? At the back of the venue, a staff member was standing against the wall. He took off his hat and mask and was fanning himself with air conditioning. If Chu Xiuyan saw him, he would probably? Call out Unit 2 again - Dog Two-Pole Unit 2.

The introduction of Yunyan Group is over.

The atmosphere in the venue was completely lively, the anticipation was full, and the laughter and applause lasted for a long time.

Editor Chen coughed and said, "It seems like I should step down and hand the microphone to the Yunyan band. I can never get used to livening up the atmosphere."

The applause of goodwill rang out again.

"Well, judging by everyone's reactions, I? Didn't do too badly. Then the next step is to reveal the true identity of the mysterious teacher Zero One... Me? Let's hand the microphone over to the Yunyan Tiantuan group. Captain, please--"

Editor Chen walked off the stage and handed the second microphone to Chu Xiuyan.

Chu Xiuyan saw the shocked expressions of the "Yunyan" group members who were wearing wigs of various colors. The red hair was particularly conspicuous? Their mouths were so long that they could almost fit an egg.

He asked in a low voice with shock and anticipation: "Is there still a segment where we can be the hosts?!"

The system said lovingly: [This time there really isn’t one. ]

Off the court, Lin Jie started gripping the ground with her toes again, took a deep breath, and continued to record the video.

The Boqu Unit 2 was still capturing images with its camera, obsessed with taking photos.

Although the audience was a little surprised, they thought it was just a part of the show and applauded enthusiastically. Some even whistled and shouted, "Captain, don't run away after the book signing event is over!"

Chu Xiuyan made an OK gesture and said proudly: "When the time comes, feel free to take pictures. I promise I won't leave!"

Editor Chen followed the prepared manuscript carefully and said, "So, Mr. Lingyi, you played Yunyan so well, you must like this role very much, right?"

Before Chu Xiuyan responded, someone in the audience had a clue? Shi shouted, "Who would? Don't like Yunzi!"

Then, the countless voices suddenly stopped.

Everyone in the audience realized the host's name later.

"Wait, what did the host call the Grand Captain...?"

Some people murmured to themselves, thinking they were hallucinating, and opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Chu Xiuyan shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant while holding up the microphone and said, "Let's skip what I just said. First of all, as the head of the group, the reason why I can play Yun Yan so realistically is of course because I like this role very much, so I have been pondering and thinking for a long time, so that I can play such a realistic appearance."

Editor Chen added: "It seems that the leader is also a loyal fan of Mr. Lingyi. So what kind of person do you think Mr. Lingyi is?"

Chu Xiuyan continued to answer very officially: "He must be a very serious, handsome, enthusiastic author who has a lot to talk about with young people."

The two of them completely ignored the dead silence in the audience, one dared to ask and the other dared to answer, and just like that, two minutes passed.

Until the sudden screams of grief and anger from the audience broke the seemingly calm atmosphere.

"Can you at least look at me? Ahhhh! Stop pretending like nothing happened! Host, what did you just call the Grand Commander?!"

Someone answered, "Teacher Zero One!!"

"Who does the host call Mr. Zero One?!"

"The leader of the Yunyan cosplay group!!"

"Who calls the Grand Commander Zero One-sensei!?"

"The host of a book signing event? Aa ...

Some people even shouted in disbelief, "I? I don't believe it! I? I don't believe it! How could the Grand Commander be Mr. Zero One... If the Grand Commander is really Mr. Zero One, then who else can tell whether the one who came on the stage to talk to us and gave us autographs was Mr. Zero One or Yunzai!!! I? I don't believe it--"

There was a heart-wrenching shout from the audience.

Seeing this, Chu Xiuyan shrugged and sighed, "Okay, let's get a few staff members to help pass the message and play a song... How about me? Go off the stage and let everyone calm down?"

This statement already acknowledges that he is the author Zero One.

Someone in the audience quickly responded, "No, you have to stand on the stage!"

Some people even struggled to death, screaming, "Contact lenses, take them off quickly——"

Some people also shouted in a mess: "Cloud Cub! Captain! Teacher Lingyi, woooo, woooo, you are a big liar, hahahahaha. Me? I'm not crazy! This world is a large Cloud Cub support group!"

"Help! My phone fell down ahhhh——"

Lin Jie froze, the phone in her hand slipped down a little bit, and then fell on her leg.

Her friend shook her desperately, "What's wrong? What's wrong? You look so pale, don't scare me? Ah Jie——"

at this time,

Chu Xiuyan, who was on the stage, was still there, talking to the people in the audience in confusion: "Is it me? The author Lingyi? Is it the one that shocked everyone so much?"

The audience immediately answered: "No, it's mainly because the character you played Yun Yan is so realistic. It's like Yun Yan is drawing a cartoon for us!"

"…I used the wrong word. It should be shock."

The man explained: "Can you imagine Yunyan calming down to create such a huge and vivid world? He can only draw stick figures! And he definitely started running around after just a few minutes of sitting at the table!"

Chu Xiuyan laughed? Rong was stunned.

The system said: [I? I can guarantee that this guy really doesn't have the patience to draw a long comic.]

Chu Xiuyan said faintly: [No, I? am a little different from Yun Yan. I? can attend a full day of university classes. ]
