I Opened Card Pools All Over the Universe

Ke Jin transmigrated to a world filled with gacha pools. Penniless, he possessed a dilapidated small gacha pool and was bound to a "Gacha Pool Management" system.

System: "Your mi...

Chapter 48: Popularity

Ke Jin almost fainted on the spot.

He prepared for several days, carefully selected five cards, and traveled thousands of miles from Qixing City to Zhoufu. He thought he had successfully completed the audition requirements by thinking quickly, but when he was about to go home, he was suddenly told that he had walked into the wrong set? ! !

He urgently needs to calm down.

Who the hell can calm down?! I have become the laughing stock of the entire variety show building! After all, if it were me, I would also say “Hahahahahahaha” and “What the hell is this idiot doing”!!

After hastily bidding farewell to the twin sisters, Ke Jin fled quickly.

Although he heard from his twin sister that the production crew was looking for him, Ke Jin didn't want to be found at all - he shouldn't face such an embarrassing thing again! He just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into! !

He didn't even have the mood to squeeze into the elevator, and rushed all the way to the bottom of the building from the stairwell. After walking out of the building, the cool night breeze blew on his face, and Ke Jin's hot cheeks began to cool down, and his chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down.

He suddenly thought that maybe he had left in too much of a hurry. Since someone wanted to inquire about his card pool, he could just leave the information to the twin sisters and let them convey it on his behalf.

But after thinking about it again, Ke Jin shook his head again.

Forget it, this is the state capital, so what if they know my card pool? People here can't take an eight-hour train to Qixing City to draw a few snack cards... Besides, I came to participate in the card audition mainly to get to know and communicate with more fellow card users. It's just to satisfy the curiosity of a group of ordinary people, and it's useless to improve the "influence index" of the card pool...

Alas, the sad thing is that he just checked the official website of the event again. This year's card auditions will end tonight. Now the auditions there have ended. He can only watch and miss it...

Thinking of this, Ke Jin became even sadder.

He wandered sadly on the street for a while, sadly found a small hotel to check in, sadly fell on the bed as soon as he entered the room, and buried his head tightly with the quilt.

Damn it, why did it turn out like this! QAQ

All plans were disrupted. Not only did all my efforts go in vain, but I also lost face by sending someone to his death thousands of miles away... Is there anything more infuriating than this!

But we should also think about the bright side - Ke Jin tried hard to comfort himself - anyway, it's just an audition, there won't be any live camera or broadcast, no matter how embarrassing it is, it will only be in front of hundreds of people, it's no big deal!

Thinking of this, Ke Jin felt much better and continued to cheer himself up.

That's right, after this night, those people will definitely forget it! I am just a small shrimp, who can remember it the next day! After this night, I will still be a hero the next day!

It was late at night and the small town of Dadas was completely quiet.

Qi had already left, and Oloy went upstairs to sleep as he had to get up early for school the next day.

Gu Qianqian sat alone in the living room with only a floor lamp on, staring blankly at the glowing screen in front of her.

The nightlife in big cities is completely different from that in small places. At this time, most people in Qixing City have fallen asleep peacefully, but thousands of miles away, the state capital of Chikongzhou is bustling with activity. Whether it is students or office workers, after a busy day, they all start to go online in large numbers and become active members of the online world.

The most shocking feeling that Gu Qianqian had about the sudden increase in the number of people online was that her message about the Ke Jin card pool description was instantly liked and pinned to the top, and her own ID's inbox was flooded with various inquiries, and the number of messages was still increasing rapidly as the live broadcast video was continuously shared to various external networks.

Someone even found a card pool promotion post that Ke Jin had posted a long time ago in the "Card Master's Home" forum based on the information she provided. This post, which had no replies and sank immediately after it was posted, has now been pinned to the front page by the administrator, with the word "explosive" after the title, and the comments in it are as many as ten pages...

"Xiao Ke... really became an overnight sensation this time..." Gu Qianqian murmured.

The next day, the alarm rang on time and Ke Jin woke up immediately.

He didn't sleep well last night.

Perhaps because he went to sleep with a lot on his mind, he had nightmares all night long. Although he forgot all the contents of the dream after waking up, he still felt exhausted and sleepy, as if he hadn't slept at all.

I’ll catch up on my sleep after I get on the bus… Ke Jin thought listlessly.

He got up, dressed, washed up, made himself a cup of coffee, and ate some snacks. Feeling a little better, he carried his bag and went out.

***

At the hotel reception.

"Check out room 555." Ke Jin handed the room card to the receptionist opposite.

"Okay, I'll process it for you now." The receptionist took the room card with a smile, "Please wait...eh?"

Ke Jin was just about to yawn, but the beautiful girl suddenly stared at him without moving, forcing Ke Jin to hold back the yawn and subconsciously touched his face quickly.

"What's wrong?" Did I get cookie crumbs on my face when I was eating snacks just now?

"...Oh, no, no, I will check you out now." The receptionist quickly regained her formal and enthusiastic smile, lowered her head and began to process the procedures.

Ke Jin didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the receptionist had been glancing at him out of the corner of her eye while processing the formalities... And not only her, but the other receptionists at the front desk also kept looking over here. What's more, the guests waiting to check out seemed to be staring at him...

No, it wasn't "seems", they were just looking at him, whispering and pointing!

Ke Jin was extremely panicked, but he had to pretend to be calm on the surface. He calmly checked his clothes and found nothing wrong that was worth talking about...

Just then, another group of people came to the front desk to check out. They were all young people, chatting and laughing. Ke Jin subconsciously took a look and happened to meet the eyes of one of them. The other person was startled, suddenly shouted, and pointed at Ke Jin.

"Ah! It's you!"

Ke Jin: “?”

Who is this person? I don't think I know him, right?

"You are...?" Ke Jin hesitated.

"You don't know me, but I know you!" As soon as the man finished speaking, a group of young people behind him burst into laughter.

"We all know you! You're the one who walked into the wrong set to eat snacks!"

Ke Jin: “………………”

“Hahahaha! Handsome guy, I admire you so much!” A young man with dyed red hair immediately came over enthusiastically, “Give me an autograph!… Eh? Handsome guy, where are you going? You, you don’t run! Handsome guy!!”

***

Ke Jin rushed to the side of the road, hailed a taxi and quickly got in.

"Master, let's go to the station, thank you!"

The uncle who was driving responded, and Ke Jin buried his face deeply in his hands, trying to calm his overly intense heartbeat.

Ahhhh what's going on!! Why do those people recognize me?! Could they be the audience at the audition last night?? I almost forgot it, why do they make me remember it again! This world is too cruel!!

Ke Jin kept taking deep breaths, and after some self-hypnosis and psychological preparation, he finally came back to life.

Maybe it was just a coincidence... He slowly leaned back into the back seat, looking at the passing scenery outside the window with a look of despair on his face.

Anyway, my luck is just bad. The hotel is very close to the Variety Building, so it’s not surprising that I happened to meet someone who knew about last night’s incident... Well, cheer up and forget about these unpleasant things!

The Zhoufu Station sign could be seen from afar. Thinking that he was finally far away from the Variety Building, Ke Jin finally felt at ease.

At this time, the radio in the taxi stopped playing music and started broadcasting the news.

【Last night, a live video quickly became popular on the Internet: at the audition site of "The Strongest New Star Show", a young contestant performed an unprecedented "snack-eating" talent show, which aroused strong reactions from the crowd. However, afterward, the program team reviewed the contestant's information and found that there was no registration information for this contestant. Because there was another variety show being recorded on another floor of the building at the same time on the same day, netizens speculated that this contestant had walked into the wrong set and calmly and seriously completed such a "witty" performance without knowing it...】

Ke Jin: “…………”

"Hahaha, I watched that video too. That guy walked into the wrong set, but he actually acted so seriously. It really made me laugh..." The uncle driving the car laughed heartily, "I think he can definitely go the route of a comedian. After all, it's rare to find comedians who aren't pretentious these days... Well, here we are, a total of 43 star coins."

The uncle turned around to take the money, but suddenly saw Ke Jin's face and was stunned.

"Eh? Aren't you the one who..."

Ke Jin: "No need to give me the change, uncle! Goodbye!!"

***

Ke Jin ran into the waiting hall of the platform almost as if he was running for his life.

What the hell is going on? ! ! Why did the fact that I went to the wrong set become social news? ! ! Are all the media reporters in the state government evil? ! ! Why would they report even such a thing? ! !

Ke Jin sat in his seat in the waiting room, totally unable to calm down.

It’s okay, it’s okay—he kept saying to himself—no, no, no, it’s just a report on the car radio. My mother is about to leave the state capital, so even if there are more reports here, it won’t affect me anymore! Besides, this is a train station, and the people coming and going are all travelers from all over the place. No one will pay attention to local news. I am absolutely safe! !

Then Ke Jin looked up and saw that the large LCD screen in front of the waiting room was playing the scene of himself "performing eating snacks" in the studio last night.

Ke Jin: “……………………”

Not far from Ke Jin, a little boy in his mother's arms suddenly saw Ke Jin. He immediately pointed at him in surprise and shouted in a voice that could be heard by most of the waiting hall.

"Oh! It's the big brother on TV! Big brother, don't you want to eat snacks now?"

"Shua", countless people's eyes were cast over. If the eyes were arrows, Ke Jin felt that he had been pierced into a sieve at this moment.

"Yeah, it really is..."

"Wow! She looks better in person than in the video..."

"Handsome guy, where do you get all those snacks? Do you have any left? I want to buy some!"

"I want it too, I want it too!!"

"Stop pushing, stop pushing!! I'm about to be pushed down!!"

"Order, order! Come one by one...!!! Be civilized!!!"

“%&%¥……%…”

“¥……¥#……%¥!”

***

Ke Jin took great pains to break out of the encirclement and successfully jumped onto the train at the last minute before the train doors closed.

For a moment, he felt like he had traveled through time and space in a post-apocalyptic escape movie—he was just here for an audition! Why was it like a battle royale! !

Ke Jin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, found his seat with lingering fear, and sat down limply.

He no longer had the energy or courage to think about what had happened to him. Anyway, he was finally leaving this horrible place. Once the train started, all this horror would be over...

Suddenly, a surprised scream came to my ears.

"Hey hey hey! You, you're the one... who walked into the wrong set to eat snacks! Wow, this is my first time meeting a celebrity, handsome guy, take a picture with me!!"

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and the whole carriage was shaken.

"Ah! It's really him!!"

"What a coincidence!! Handsome guy, you must sign an autograph for me!!"

"Handsome guy, where did you get your snacks from?"

"Handsome guy, why did you go to the wrong set?"

"You %¥……%#¥%#..."

“You¥#%#¥%…………”

Ke Jin cried.

Really cried.

Oh my God, what sin did he commit? Why did the whole world know about his embarrassing story overnight? ! And he can be recognized wherever he goes. Is he going to die? ! !

***

In a villa in Chikongzhou Prefecture, in a luxuriously decorated room.

A group of people sat around the table, everyone had a frown on their face and a serious expression.

"Boss, what should we do now?" one of them asked in a deep voice, looking at the man who was staring at the screen in silence.

"This new card pool in Qixing City has unexpectedly become very popular. It will have a significant impact on our future plans."
