Chapter 232 What expression will Su Yao have after losing three cards?
The two finally found a stream that wasn't frozen, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, feeling much refreshed.
After his initial excitement subsided, Fang Yefan began to feel melancholy. He shook the water off his hands, stood up, and said, "We don't know where we are now, and our phones are dead. Fortunately, our compass still works... but we don't know how vast this snow forest is. With our physical strength, can we even get out?"
Fang Ke didn't speak, but stood not far away, intently observing the world with his eyes.
Blue sky, sun, white clouds, cedar trees, streams, birds, animals...
She can see animals 100 kilometers away with perfect clarity...
She didn't need a compass at all; she could already see where the snow forest's boundary was.
Fang Ke remained silent, unsure whether he could still be considered human given his current physical condition.
But then she thought, if something as unbelievable as transmigrating into a novel has already happened, what's wrong with a slight physical mutation?
After observing the natural world, Fang Ke turned her attention to Fang Yefan, the first human she had observed up close.
The features that were previously included with the system are still there, but now, something seems different.
Fang Yefan was practically transparent to her.
[S. Fang Yefan]
【(pink)】
[Favorability bar: 210/999]
[Luck Value: 100/999 (Recovering)]
Health: 39/100 (Recovering)
[Tag: The Shattered Star of an Actor (Reversible)]
So this is the label that was previously covered up.
Fang Ke stared silently at the words "Starlight Shattered," wondering if, following the previous ending, Fang Yefan would ultimately face the same fate: his starlight shattered, and he would fade into obscurity, leaving the entertainment industry.
This might still be a relatively good prediction. Considering the tragic ending of Yan Nuo's "car accident death," Fang Ke felt that Fang Yefan, whose luck and life points were drained, probably wouldn't fare much better.
Fang Ke suddenly turned serious and said to Fang Yefan, "Tell me about your work arrangements for the past three years."
Fang Yefan: "?"
Half an hour later, Fang Yefan followed Fang Ke with a dejected look on his face.
Fang Ke had just thoroughly criticized him from all angles, leaving him feeling utterly devastated. He felt like he had been manipulated, but he had to admit that many of Fang Ke's words were quite insightful...
"How did you manage to stay in the same place for three years?"
"If you don't want to be in this industry anymore, hurry up and leave. Don't just occupy a position without doing anything."
"You're pathetic, but your fans are the ones who are truly pathetic. What good can be done by being your fan? All they get is watching you confess your love for other female celebrities online every day?"
"You're almost thirty, and you've been in this industry for ten years. Do you earn as much as I do? You're such a waste. I've never seen you bring a single penny home. You're already sponging off your parents in your prime, aren't you?"
"You said your next movie is going to be a campus movie with Su Yao, haha, let me know when it's released, thanks... Oh, nothing... I'll block you for three months first, mainly because I'm afraid it will ruin my eyes. You're thirty and you're still playing a seventeen-year-old?!"
...
Even someone as unrestrained as Fang Yefan began to seriously reflect on whether he had been living too carefree these past few years, resulting in no progress and even a decline.
Fang Ke is right. After winning the Best Actor award for a realistic film at the age of 24, he almost exclusively starred in commercial films and idol dramas...
In recent years, he even took on many bad films to play supporting roles to Su Yao...
Many of his longtime fans couldn't accept it and wrote him many letters, both online via private messages and in person, but he ignored them all.
He also recalled an instance where he was boycotted by all the fans because he was going to act in a drama with Su Yao, a drama whose screenwriter was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal.
Fans are criticizing the studio, saying they're giving him bad roles in dramas and tarnishing his reputation.
Fang Yefan suddenly went online in the middle of the night, snapping at all his fans and saying that if they didn't like him, they should unfollow him and not hurt the people who were important to him.
This really broke the hearts of many longtime fans. He lost hundreds of thousands of followers that day, and his reputation was severely damaged, but he didn't care at all.
In Fang Yefan's view, he came to the entertainment industry simply to be himself. If he were held hostage by his fans, what freedom would he have left?
So what if he wants to act in this play? Why should these strangers interfere?
Thinking of this, Fang Yefan suddenly slapped his forehead with his palm.
Was he out of his mind at the time? There were clearly many better ways to handle this. Why did he act so impulsively and treat his fans like class enemies?
The more Fang Yefan thought about what he had done over the past few years, the more horrified he became. How did he seem to have become a reckless fool who only knew how to bully his own kind?
"Fang Ke... I'm not angry with you anymore. I admit you were right about something you said earlier, I..."
Fang Yefan suddenly stopped, then his expression changed, and he took two steps forward to grab Fang Ke's arm.
Fang Ke turned her head to look at him, "What?"
Fang Yefan pointed to a mark on the tree trunk next to him, which was left by him slapping the tree a few times in frustration.
"...It seems like we're stuck in a maze again?"
After listening to his explanation, Fang Ke looked around and narrowed his eyes. The quiet snow forest seemed to have become even more eerie.
Fang Ke said to Fang Yefan, "Wait here for me, I'm going to take a look ahead."
"...Why do we have to do this together? It's too dangerous for you to do it alone."
Fang Ke smiled slightly, "I'm just going to take a look ahead. Actually, I left some marks on some trees earlier. I'm going to check them out. I won't go far, don't worry."
Fang Yefan was dazzled by her smile and coughed awkwardly. "Alright... fine, I'll keep an eye on you. Don't leave my sight."
Fang Ke entered the depths of the dense forest alone. Her face was indifferent. After a quick look, she indeed saw an unusual red line.
Fang Ke didn't want to use her brain at all right now. She had experienced the joy of being suppressed by force with "Yes" yesterday, and she wanted to try it out today.
"Will you come out yourself, or should I do it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rabbit on Fang Ke's shoulder went into attack mode, its face showing a fierce expression, its golden eyes vertical, and white mist chains shooting out from the surrounding void, about to twist the red lines into pieces.
Before Fang Ke could even raise his hand, the red thread suddenly curled up into a ball on its own, eventually turning into a card similar to [Concealment], which floated into Fang Ke's hand.
Fang Ke: "...You're quite pragmatic, aren't you?"
Fang turned the card over and saw two words written on it: "Blockade".
There is an explanation label at the top of the card.
C-level skill: Tier 1 Lockdown, stackable and upgradable.
Little B was astonished when he saw it, "Wow, is this what the authentic cards look like?"
"No wonder it's so weak. It's only a first-level seal. I remember hearing from a senior in the bureau that a high-level seal can lock the soul, lock time and space, and lock heaven and earth. I wonder if such a divine skill really exists."
Fang put the cards away. "The function you described is indeed a bit too magical, but I'm more curious about Su Yao's expression after losing three cards in a row."
As she spoke, a smile, though not reaching her eyes, filled her with amusement, which made Little B tremble instantly.
"Host, don't be angry! Go back and beat her to a pulp!"
Fang Ke did not speak, recalling that day at the bottom of the lake, it felt as if he was entangled by some rope, now he thought that it was probably the effect of the [blockade].
With those three cards, Su Yao wished she were dead immediately.
"Sorry, I won't die. It'll be your turn next."
As Fang Ke had expected, Su Yao, who had lost two more cards, had an unusually interesting expression, as if she had seen a ghost.
Even 176 became serious and silent.
"She actually has such abilities... That shouldn't be possible. Just who is she?"
There are two discarded cards in front of Su Yao. Discarded cards are different from failed cards. Failed cards will break, but discarded cards will become blank cards, directly becoming two pieces of waste paper.
No matter how much Su Yao activated the spell or how many times she called out, the two cards would no longer respond.
Her face was ashen, and she slumped into the sofa, muttering incoherently, "Impossible... Why is this happening... Why can't even an A-level attack skill kill her... 176..."
"Don't ask me, I don't know either."
176 blamed her, "Su Yao, what did you do after I left to trigger this woman's mutation?"
"I……"
Su Yao frantically pulled out her last two cards, intending to use them all at once.
"I don't know, but I want her dead!"
"Calm down. This is your last trump card. If she still manages to break through your defenses, you'll be a lamb to the slaughter when she returns, powerless to fight back. No... she might be able to kill you from thousands of miles away."
Su Yao bit her lower lip, feeling both angry and resentful. In the end, she was so angry that her heart clenched and she almost fainted.
"What the hell is she?!"
Just then, the phone rang suddenly. Su Yao was startled and kicked the phone away. She didn't want to answer it, but the caller ID showed a somewhat unexpected person—[Xiao Yichen].
