Chapter 125 A Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Twenty-Two) Song Yu…

Although Director Qu gave Song Yu a lot more screen time in "Asking the Immortal Path", he was still just a minor supporting character on the surface.

So after attending the wrap party, he wasn't involved in any of the promotional work.

Xue Ziqi, who was originally just a minor character, was even more carefree. He even went to Qunxing Entertainment to sign a contract at some point and ended up having the same agent as Song Yu.

Another top-tier artist under Wen Yi's management just terminated his contract, and the remaining two relatively unknown artists were also assigned to other agents. He himself then focused on Song Yu, Lin You, and Xue Ziqi.

It just so happens that these three also like to go out together, and Xue Ziqi even applied to have her dormitory next to Song Yu's.

After Song Yu's contract was amended, his other benefits were also improved. After returning this time, he moved directly to a dormitory, a two-bedroom apartment of 70 square meters. One room was his bedroom, and the other was converted into a practice room with a full-wall mirror, which made it convenient for him to study acting skills in the dormitory.

Xue Ziqi's interior design was similar to Song Yu's, while Lin You's was decorated as a leisure and entertainment space, with a snack cabinet over two meters long, a double-door refrigerator, a projector for watching dramas, and so on, which was quite thoughtful.

This floor has two elevators and four apartments per floor. The other apartment was rented to Song Yu for a token amount of rent: "If your brother or friends come to visit you, they'll have a place to stay."

As for why Xue Ziqi, a nobody, was able to skip the small apartment and move into this kind of dormitory, the boy frankly stated that after hearing that he had signed with Qunxing Entertainment, his father and brother acquired some of Qunxing's shares.

Now it's all under his name. Although it's only three percent, he's still a shareholder, and he can get some special treatment.

Xue Ziqi had a purpose in choosing to move to a small dormitory instead of his own spacious apartment. In his own words, it was to be closer to his master's teachings.

Of course, this guy clearly had ulterior motives. He would frequently go and deliver snacks to Song Yu, always the kind of snacks Lin You liked. His purpose was obvious.

However, every time Xue Ziqi delivered something, she would claim it was to show respect to her elders, and she would thoughtfully return home after delivering the item. The items were always delivered to Song Yu's side, without disturbing Lin You.

The snacks were all high in oil, sugar, and calories. Even a single bite would require Song Yu to practice for an extra half hour, and naturally, he would end up sending some to Lin You.

The snacks Xue Ziqi sent cost tens or hundreds of yuan per bag, with the most expensive ones costing hundreds or thousands of yuan. This was clearly not in line with Song Yu's spending level, and Lin You could tell who sent them without even asking.

Now that they've spent more time together, Song Yu doesn't hide his emotions from Lin You anymore. Seeing his somewhat depressed look, Lin You couldn't help but say, "I'll buy you a few bottles of diet pills. Once you take them, you won't have to diet anymore. It won't cost many points. The points you exchanged for me won't even amount to a fraction of what I've spent."

Back then, Chu Nanfeng took two diet pills to feign illness. He was fed them every day, but he never gained weight no matter how much he ate. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with them, which scared quite a few people.

He thought Song Yu would happily agree, after all, he often drooled over delicious food, but to his surprise, after hesitating for a moment, he firmly refused.

Song Yu earnestly explained to Lin You: "Actors need to adjust their image according to the role. Some roles are aloof, so they need to be thinner to highlight their features. Some roles are gentle, so they need to be a little chubby to appear approachable. Our goal is to become a movie star. Having the same physique will only limit your career path."

After saying that, he smiled at Lin You again, "It's not just for the mission. When I embarked on this path, I knew what price I would have to pay. Now, all of this is just part of the plan."

Lin You nodded knowingly, "Since diet pills won't work, let's try zero-fat snacks. They taste just as good as my snacks, and they won't make you gain weight. They're made by the system, so there's absolutely no false advertising."

This stuff is cheaper than diet pills; you can buy a huge bag with just one point. The only downside is that you have to buy more once you run out, and it doesn't have the long-lasting effect of diet pills that lasts for ten years.

But Song Yu could earn system points on his own. He exchanged all the cheat points he had earned for system points for Lin You. He earned more than 100 points just from that trip to the unfinished building, which was enough to buy him snacks for half his life.

Of course, these points can't all be exchanged for snacks; some other materials are also needed. Lin You knows basic alchemy and weapon crafting, and although she can't make anything too powerful, it's more than enough for Song Yu.

As for the items in her own backpack, Song Yu's level was too low to use them at all. Not to mention him, even Lin You now couldn't use most of them.

Song Yu was stuffed with a huge pile of snacks that appeared out of nowhere. After Lin You explained the purpose and origin of the snacks, he couldn't help but frown.

Lin You interrupted him directly: "I'm not a beginner now, and I have quite a few points. Besides, the points you helped me redeem are over a hundred. Spending one point to buy snacks is really nothing to be surprised about."

Seeing that Song Yu still didn't quite agree, Lin You continued, "Besides, points are earned, not saved. If you catch a level one ghost, you can exchange it for two big bags of these snacks. When you think about it that way, isn't it super cost-effective?"

Song Yu: ………

It seems like a pretty good deal, since you have to catch ghosts anyway.

Even the customer service of the Golden Finger didn't expect that Song Yu, who couldn't attract the entire Golden Finger Mall, would become a fan of a snack with system points.

[Ding! The system shop has been updated with a snack section. Please check it out.]

Song Yu did take a look, but the price seemed a bit off. The snack gift pack that was similar to the one he had was actually priced at 100 Golden Finger Points, which was double the price of Lin You's.

Seemingly sensing his confusion, the customer service representative quickly provided an explanation.

[Ding! Items in the store require cross-border shipping, and the central system will take a cut.]

"Then why should I buy winter break products from you?" Song Yu was completely baffled by his high-price strategy to attract customers.

The customer service representative was also completely baffled. Although the system doesn't charge commissions for purchases made through tasks outside the system, what system doesn't charge a handling fee for purchasing items for task recipients?

This newbie system called Lin You is absolutely bizarre.

Then, Lin You showed him what truly bizarre actions were.

Lin You spent 20 points to buy some basic spiritual herbs from the system shop, and occasionally added some of her own stock. She directly refined more than 20 bottles of pills for Song Yu, all of which were suitable for beginners.

Even the junior customer service staff couldn't help but feel jealous. These pills would cost one or two points each if purchased from the system shop, but Lin You's bottle contained at least ten pills.

Two hundred points! He just gave them away like that. Why doesn't he have such a thoughtful personal system?!

Before he could even figure out how to persuade Song Yu to help him make a connection and ask this big shot if he would take the job, he encountered an even more enviable scene.

Song Yu had two reward items, a mid-level peach wood sword and a basic copper coin sword. Lin You bought some materials and reforged them, turning them into high-level items.

The Golden Finger System's level classification is naturally different from the cultivation world's grades. In Lin You's opinion, this high-grade item is even worse than a low-grade spiritual weapon, but it is quite good for Song Yu.

"Use these two for now. I'll modify them for you when I get other items." Lin You saw that he couldn't even turn around while holding those two swords, so she spent another 5 points to buy him a storage bag that was one cubic meter in size.

Although the space was limited, it was more than enough to hold those two swords.

It's a pity she couldn't bring the storage bag from the previous world, otherwise she wouldn't have wasted this money.

Due to the limitations of the world's environment, Song Yu was unable to cultivate the techniques of the cultivation world. Instead, he learned breathing exercises from the Ghost-Catching Cultivation Manual.

What he absorbed was not spiritual energy, but more like a natural force. Because of the different systems, Lin You didn't quite understand it and could only figure it out on his own.

The storage bag from the system store can also have its appearance customized according to needs. Song Yu directly turned it into a teardrop-shaped pendant and hung it around her neck.

If needed in the future, beads can be added to the pendant cord. It looks much more sophisticated than the string of purses that she and Ye Zhen wear.

Storage space is something that attracts everyone. After Song Yu put the sword and medicine bottle in, he saw that there was still space, so he also stuffed in the snacks that he had only eaten a tenth of.

Well, at least next time Brother Wen comes over, he won't have to hide the snacks at Lin You's place anymore.

He took the items out, put them back in, and had a great time. The customer service representative guessed that he didn't have time to deal with her right now, so she went straight to Lin You.

[Ding! System Lin You, hello. I am the creator of the Golden Finger Ghost-Catching System. You can call me A Piao.]

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" This was Lin You's first time speaking to other employees of the company, and it was impossible for her not to be nervous. Fortunately, she had experienced so many worlds, so she was able to keep her composure.

Even the name "Ah Piao" fits the atmosphere of his superpower.

【Would you be willing to take orders, like the kind of pills for Song Yu? I'll provide the materials, and I'm willing to pay a processing fee of 50 points for every 100 pills.】

Based on the value of 100 pills in the system shop, plus about 150 points, and deducting about 20 points for material costs, a junior customer service representative can save half of the points.

"I can't trade something I own for points, right?" Lin You asked tentatively instead of haggling.

[You can give the items to Song Yu. There's an item recycling feature in the Golden Finger Shop that can buy things like talismans you draw yourself. I'll then pay you using Golden Finger Points, which Song Yu will then exchange for system points.]

This can be considered a way of exploiting a loophole in the company, but the most crucial point in this deal is Song Yu. If he had ulterior motives, the deal between Lin You and A Piao would not have been completed.

"Will the trading stop once I finish the mission?" Lin You didn't see any information about item trading on the system forum.

We can add each other as friends first. Once you reach level 20, you can unlock the trading panel. It might be difficult for other systems, but you should be able to achieve it soon.

Just as Lin You asked how to add friends, Song Yu, who was still playing with the storage space, suddenly received a task: to write a trial report for his cheat system.

He hasn't even figured out the basics yet, how is he supposed to write a trial report? Don't other people write theirs after they've completed the task?

[Ding! Don't worry, host, I've been monitoring your situation. Any problems will be fixed on the spot. You can write your trial report whenever you want.]

The customer service representative had given up on installing the system and openly encouraged Song Yu to do the homework. Then, without even looking at it, she directly sent Lin You a reward: a friend panel.

The only friend among them was this customer service representative named Apiao.

Having someone who knows the company inside is definitely a good thing for Lin You, as it means she has more channels to gather information about her other colleagues and colleagues.
