After returning to Shanghai from Beijing, Xiao He resumed his busy schedule.
"Shining Stars" is still airing and the plot is getting better and better. The shrewd Li Shuo, the beautiful and intelligent Qiu Rongyue, the upright and kind Bai Mingchuan, and the ruthless Meng Zetian... Even minor supporting characters with few scenes have impressive points. The intense conflicts and constant plot twists make the audience eager to watch and can't help but open the platform every day to watch the show.
Unsurprisingly, as a regular guest on Bilibili, Xiao He's Meng Zetian once again made it onto the "Top Ten Villains List".
While it's not advisable to admire such villains, it's undeniable that Xiao He portrayed Meng Zetian's evil to the fullest extent, creating a memorable villain that is rarely seen today and is well-known to the public.
Like Mu Ze, played by Xiao He, and Zhu Laosan, although the former made his name on Bilibili and the latter became famous in movies, they are ultimately within a certain scope or circle.
But spy dramas are different. They target not only young people but also middle-aged and elderly people, making their audience much broader. Moreover, the barrier to entry for watching these dramas is almost zero; they are the kind of shows that you can watch as soon as you turn on the TV.
Therefore, Meng Zetian is more well-known by comparison, and his portrayal of Xiao He was just a brief appearance in front of the whole nation.
The last villain with such personal charisma and public recognition was a ruthless boss in a crime drama. After that drama aired, everyone knew about him, even those who hadn't watched it.
This is the different traffic effect brought about by TV dramas.
...
Back in his villa, Xiao He, who had just returned from outside, opened the system and looked at the more than 100,000 points on his system panel, and began to think seriously.
Should I try to acquire a new skill... or upgrade an old one?
Sigh, life is always full of so many beautiful troubles~
In the end, Xiao He still focused his attention on the old skills.
The main reason is that Xiao He has been living a carefree life lately, and he hasn't really realized what skills he urgently needs right now.
Since I can't think of anything right now, let's upgrade what we already have...
"System, do you have any items related to upgrading skills? I want to upgrade my skills."
The system immediately redirected to the targeted lottery interface.
[Targeted Lottery: Skill Upgrade Capsule (10 draws remaining until the guaranteed reward)]
Sure enough!
Without hesitation, Xiao He raised his hand: "Let's try two draws first—"
However, the two draws quickly turned into lifespan points, and nothing happened.
Xiao He, who had been unlucky for years, was used to it, but he still couldn't help grumbling, "I really can't believe it! I always get a big win in the game, and it's the same in real life?"
Despite saying he didn't believe in superstitions, Xiao He still went to the bathroom to shower and change. Then, with utmost piety, he knelt before the coffee table and earnestly bowed three times to the void: "God bless me, Buddha bless me, Lady Luck bless me, God of Wealth bless me..."
Whether it's a Western god or an Eastern god, anyone who protects him is a good god, and he will be extremely grateful...
Filled with anticipation, Xiao He clicked the button—
The third draw, the fourth draw, the fifth draw...
Finally, Xiao He looked at the final guaranteed amount after the targeted lottery and his eye twitched.
[Targeted Lottery: Skill Upgrade Capsule (1 draw remaining until the guaranteed reward)]
"No, System, are you doing this on purpose?"
Xiao He finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"I told you to have a guaranteed minimum, but you actually maxed out the guaranteed minimum? Are you sure you didn't secretly change the stats?"
"Then you might as well put a price tag on it, 100,000 for each skill, I'd feel more comfortable buying it that way."
"Damn it, is there a complaint button? I want to file a complaint!"
However, the system popped up a reminder:
[Attention! This system's lottery is absolutely fair and transparent. Since its inception, this system has always adhered to the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency, upheld the system's auxiliary laws, and is committed to correctly assisting the host in their criminal activities, ensuring a swift response...]
Xiao He: ...No, what is this?
No, system, do you use official jargon in your world too?
Such a politically charged answer sheet...
Thinking of that year, that question, and that score, Xiao He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
