Chapter 120 A Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Seventeen) Gu Yunting...

Gu Yunting looked at the timid girl in front of him, waved her away, and said, "I have some urgent business to attend to. You should also think it over carefully. We can talk about signing the contract later."

Although she's quite pretty, she won't let anyone touch her. She'll only be a second-tier singer ten years from now. He knows plenty of future top stars; he doesn't really need another one.

The most important thing now is to figure out what exactly happened between Song Yu and Lin You. Could it be that he wasn't the only one who was reborn?

But if she were reborn, Song Yu wouldn't accept the role he offered, would she? Could it be that she herself gave him a shrewish old lady?

Gu Yunting began investigating Lin You's information, but unfortunately, even with the Gu family's immense wealth, they couldn't extend their reach into the national system.

The information online is a mess. Apart from knowing that she was brought back to contact Song Yu after the XX Public Security Bureau solved the case, it's impossible to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

Gu Yunting felt that even online novels had never been this exciting, with stories of reclusive disciples from various sects or apprentices of renowned masters.

Of course, its reliability is probably only slightly higher than that of online novels.

Lin You was unaware that Gu Yunting had already begun to figure out where to find a hacker to investigate her background. She had already eaten and drunk her fill and was now urging Song Yu to continue working.

Song Yu, who had only eaten a plate of grass, looked utterly helpless before being carried away by her great-aunt under the watchful eyes of everyone.

After everyone had disappeared from sight, Zhou Zi whispered to the director beside her, "Grandma is so powerful, she's not planning to commit domestic violence, is she?"

Seeing that they were all quite worried, Director Yu smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just teaching Xiao Song some things, um, he's not very willing to learn."

The three boys nodded knowingly. Although they didn't know what they were supposed to learn, they wouldn't be willing to go outside in this weather either.

Director Yu didn't care what they were thinking. After sending everyone to take a lunch break, he went to set up the cameras again. The footage they had taken before consisted mainly of children, which wasn't convenient to broadcast on the show.

I don't know why there are so many children here. I heard this place used to be an amusement park, but it closed down after an accident. There can't be so many children here, all of them must have been in some kind of accident!

After a while, Lin You and Song Yu still didn't appear in the fixed camera range. Director Yu hesitated again and again, thinking about the talisman on his body and the remaining budget if he could shoot a great shot. Suddenly, he made a bold decision.

Lin You released the little boy who had called her "sister" again. Seeing that he was still confused and ignorant, Lin You thought for a moment, then took out a calming pill and placed it on the tip of his nose.

This is no ordinary calming pill for sleep aids. Because in the previous world, she was in a spirit state, and Ye Zhen specifically sought out many things that were beneficial to the soul, and this calming pill was one of them.

If carried with you, it can help to calm the soul and soothe the mind. However, compared to the other things Ye Zhen gave you, this is just the most ordinary one.

Ye Zhen gave this as a gift mainly because it looked good and smelled wonderful, saying it had the feel of a certain modern brand of perfume. She gave Lin You a whole bunch of them to wear as bracelets.

Of course, this small effect is quite effective for ordinary souls, and the child quickly spoke again: "Sister... Sister, love to play..."

As for what he likes to play, he still can't say for sure.

Song Yu frowned and stared for a while, feeling that something was off. Director Yu, carrying a camera, finally came over.

Watching him skillfully set up the filming equipment, Lin You was speechless. This was definitely the most dedicated director ever.

Lin You felt that she needed to have a serious talk with Director Yu about the ghost story, which was so eager to film the show.

At this moment, Song Yu finally noticed something was wrong. The child's eyes were fixed on the northernmost house, not Lin You.

"Sister... let's play together, it'll be fun." His voice became smoother and smoother, and just then, he suddenly turned around and grinned at Lin You.

Originally, he looked much like an ordinary child, but he has changed. Black mist churns around him, his face turns bluish-purple, and even his fingernails grow long instantly.

"Watch out!" Song Yu couldn't help but exclaim. He was about to take out a talisman to stick it over when he found that the little ghost had suddenly stopped moving again, clearly having been subdued.

Song Yu subtly withdrew the talisman in his hand, finally realizing the change in the little devil in front of him, and honestly retreated three meters.

"It's quite ugly." Lin You stared at the little ghost for a while, then made a hand gesture. Starlight flickered at her fingertips, and the black aura around the little ghost gradually dissipated, restoring it to its previous childlike appearance.

Although for Song Yu, the level of terror hadn't decreased much.

"Alright, stop wasting time, hurry up and perform the ritual." Lin You tossed the child near Song Yu, watched as he put another immobilization talisman on him, and then went to get the next one.

"Aren't we still supposed to find out the truth? Don't we need to ask again?" Song Yu kept her eyes closed, cooperating perfectly with Lin You. The immobilization talisman was applied accurately every time, and she even had time to discuss it with her.

Director Yu stood there stunned for a while before silently moving his camera away, wondering if he should delete the similar footage he had shot earlier.

After all, this person is a successor of Master Lin. It's best not to leave behind such a dark history. Even if it is left behind, it should absolutely not be left in his hands.

Director Yu thought for a moment, then quietly moved the camera back. It would be a pity to miss such a wonderful shot. He could make a copy for Master Lin later and then delete it.

It's part of Master Song's future growth experience, and since it's being collected by my great-aunt, there shouldn't be any problems.

"It's alright, they don't know much. Send these few away first, and then interrogate the remaining three level-three ghosts properly. You can then perform a proper rite of passage for them."

Lin You took out all the level 2 cuties, but Song Yu didn't take out the Ghost-Catching Cultivation Manual to read the incantation. Instead, he directly activated the exorcism talisman with his eyes closed.

He started memorizing the text right after lunch, making the most of every minute to memorize the incantation. It really worked; without having to face those images, his fear was reduced by two-thirds.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully exorcised 6 level-two ghosts, earning 1200 points.]

[Ding! Host is quick-witted and eager to learn, please keep up the good work!]

[Ding! The Golden Finger Shop has been updated. Please check it yourself.]

………

Song Yu was speechless at the fact that the voice of the Golden Finger customer service appeared directly in his mind, but the phrase "eager to learn" still felt a bit strange.

If I don't respond with sarcasm, does this customer service representative not know how to speak?

Song Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly converted all 3,500 points he had earned that day into Lin You's system points. Looking at the points page that had been cleared, he nodded in satisfaction.

The items in this system's shop are so rubbish, yet they keep trying to trick him into spending money. It must be that Lin You's points are more valuable.

Before a message about the points mall could even be sent, the host's points were cleared, along with 70 points deducted from their savings. The creator, pretending to be an AI, was so heartbroken he almost cried.

He doesn't even earn 70 points a day. Not only does he have to develop new cheat codes, but he also has to track the usage of trial products and deal with a bunch of after-sales issues.

I don't want to go to this lousy class even once!

In the blink of an eye, Lin You received 70 points, almost thinking there was a bug in her system.

It took her a while to realize that they had opened a redemption channel, and that Song Yu had redeemed the points for her.

Although Lin You doesn't need to listen to the beeping of the cheat system, she can still view the messages it sends.

Based on this figure, Song Yu must have exchanged all his points for her!

Before Lin You could even ask, Song Yu had already transmitted his voice, saying, "Your points are clearly more valuable than the Golden Finger points, and besides, the items in the Golden Finger Shop are pretty bad."

"Is it possible that this redemption channel was just a spur-of-the-moment decision by that customer service representative, and that the points he initially gave you were meant for you to spend in the Gold Finger Mall?"

By purchasing goods, you can improve your own strength, then capture more powerful monsters, earn points, and then use those points to buy even better goods to further enhance your power.

Ultimately, the resources were provided by the "golden finger," and the host gained power. The merits gained from catching ghosts and monsters were divided between the two, creating a virtuous cycle of resources.

However, if it were to be converted to universal system points like Lin You's, it would be hard to say whether this deal would be a loss or a gain.

Song Yu was also subtly questioned by the Golden Finger customer service about whether he had encountered any threats. If someone was forcing him to contribute all his points, Golden Finger could help report it to prevent him from being exploited by the system.

Song Yu: ………

So, if it's not extreme exploitation, then it's already considered normal operation of the portable system?

I always feel that other systems and task objects don't get along as well as he does with his great-aunt.

After the customer service representative repeatedly reminded him to keep his points and redeem them for items in the shop so that he could improve his strength, Song Yu couldn't stand their nagging anymore.

After obtaining Lin You's consent, the customer service representative of the cheat system told her that Lin You's previous world was the cultivation world, that she could draw talismans to catch ghosts, refine pills, set up formations, and had many good materials.

In the void, a certain creator who pretended to be a customer service representative stood there dumbfounded for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. He looked at the information on the screen. He recognized all the words, but put them together, he just couldn't understand them.

What is the connection between the system going to the cultivation world to do tasks and the system being able to draw talismans, catch ghosts, refine pills, and set up formations?

It's amazing that it was able to take away a bunch of things. You should know that the system's backpack can't be filled with anything except gifts from mission targets or special personnel, or items purchased by oneself.

Even if you find rare and precious treasures on the roadside, they belong to that world. Your personal system is an outsider and cannot be taken away directly.

The creator, no longer able to nag the host, only told him to improve his skills before heading to the system forum with a troubled expression to check Lin You's information.

The prompts in his mind instantly turned into mechanical template replies. Song Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of mental attacks, this talkative customer service representative was no less lethal than a ghost.

Seeing that Song Yu had come to her senses, Lin You released the remaining three level-three ghosts.

The white-clad female ghost who is somewhat famous online and likes to cosplay Chang'e is also at the level of a level three ghost. Although her thought process is a bit strange, it is still at the level of a normal person's intelligence.

The three in front of them looked to be seven or eight years old. Their ghostly aura was even stronger than that of the woman in white. However, their expressions were ferocious, and they were baring their teeth and claws, just like rabid dogs. They didn't seem to have any sense at all.

Let alone Song Yu, even Director Yu, who almost managed to persuade the female ghost to sign an internet celebrity agreement with him with just his words, sensed that something was wrong.

"Compared to the ghosts in Taoxi Town, the ghosts here are like idiots," Director Yu complained while filming.

Not to mention compared to the white-clad female ghost and the dancing actor ghost, even the little kid that was taken away by the aunt at the end looked smarter than these guys.

As for the footage, even if it's not used in the show, it can still be kept as a reference. He feels he's had a pretty exciting time lately and wants to make a horror movie in the future.
