Pooh!
This system is garbage! Instead of going through all this trouble, why not just give me the real money?!
The next moment, the prize finally appeared before Xiao He's eyes—
Congratulations on obtaining a "Skill Upgrade Capsule"! It has been automatically stored.
[Skill Upgrade Capsule Details: It can help you upgrade one of your current basic criminal skills, provided the skill has room for improvement.]
Xiao He said speechlessly, "Look, look, you won't come out unless I say something, but you come out as soon as I do!"
It's really hard not to suspect it was intentional! Feeling guilty, huh?
[Note! This system's lottery draw is absolutely free of any fraudulent elements...]
"Okay, okay, stop! You don't need to say anything more!" Xiao He directly interrupted the system's disclaimer and official explanation, "I'm going to draw another identical skill upgrade capsule, but I only have five draws left. You figure it out yourself!"
He'd already taken nine draws from the system; if he continued to be unlucky, he'd have to fight the system to the death!
The system remained silent this time, offering no response.
Xiao He snorted coldly, then pressed the lottery interface—
One draw, nothing happens; two draws, nothing happens; three draws…
[Targeted Lottery: Skill Upgrade Capsule (6 draws remaining until the guaranteed reward)]
Xiao He: ...
Damn it, isn't this bullying honest people?
This is absolutely outrageous!
Why did he even develop a safety net mechanism for the system? He's just digging his own grave!
Xiao He couldn't take it anymore.
Is the system serious?
"Brother Xiao!"
Just then, Xiao Chen walked in from outside, carrying a bunch of things: "Sister Liu wants you to come over later and shoot a funny video with some abstract elements, then post it on Yin Fu Video to ride the wave of Zang Xing Shan Shan's traffic."
The recent plot of "Shining Stars" has been too depressing. Liu Rulan is worried that Xiao He will be beaten up on the street, so she asked Xiao He to shoot some abstract short videos to get closer to the audience and allow everyone to separate the characters from the drama so that the villain's behavior is not attributed to the actor.
This is a common tactic in the industry. If a villain actor plays a really bad character, they will post some funny or abstract short videos on their short video account to create a contrast, divert people's hatred, and attract a wave of traffic and fans.
Of course, this also serves a certain promotional purpose.
However, as for Xiao He—Liu Rulan was simply afraid that Xiao He would get beaten up.
Xiao He: "...Please thank Sister Liu for me."
Xiao Chen put down what she was holding and saw Xiao He still kneeling in front of the tea table, with a koi fish painting on the table in front of him and a wooden fish for increasing merit beside him. She looked at Xiao He with great confusion and asked, "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?"
Xiao He glanced at the system panel that Xiao Chen couldn't see at all, blinked, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Xiao Chen, how's your luck usually?"
Xiao He rubbed his hands together, smiling kindly.
Xiao Chen shrank back, feeling like she was being watched by some strange person: "I... I'm just so-so—"
"My colleague stole my job at work..."
Xiao He: But in the end, the colleague who tried to steal the job was thrown out and made the scapegoat...
"I was in a car accident on my way home..."
Xiao He: But in the end nothing happened, and I even got a few days of paid leave...
"Even when I go out with you guys, Brother Xiao, we still encounter a boat capsizing incident..."
Xiao He: This is my fault. In the end, this guy even won the MVP award and was nicknamed "Eagle Eye Xiao Chen".
"besides--"
"Alright, that's enough."
Xiao He grasped Xiao Chen's hand tightly and said with a touch of melancholy, "You are the lucky one I've been waiting for!"
