Chapter 143 A Talented Actor Used as Cannon Fodder (Forty) Gu...
After Gu Yunting was arrested, Lin You told the Supernatural Affairs Bureau that he was a reincarnated person.
Of course, the explanation wouldn't be so straightforward; it would simply say that he had some kind of fortuitous encounter that allowed him to foresee future events.
As a reborn person, he must be aware of the major accidents that will happen in the future. If he can enable the country to have some foresight about important matters, then his rebirth will not have been in vain.
After handing the reborn individuals over to the state, Lin You's mission to protect Song Yu's safety was fast-forwarded to 95%.
Therefore, it is clear that the crises that could harm Song Yu were basically caused by Gu Yunting, and he probably won't have a chance to get out in this lifetime.
Lin You thought about it for a while, but still felt that something was not quite right. According to the description in the system's plot, Song Yu originally lived a smooth and successful life, and was a complete winner in life.
With so many resources in the entertainment industry, why would the reborn protagonist focus on him alone to seize those resources?
Don't say things like he'll become a movie star in the future. Movie stars only come out once every two or three years, it's not like Song Yu is the only one.
Lin You suddenly remembered something and opened the system's question page again, entering the question: Was Song Yu the protagonist of this small world before Gu Yunting transmigrated?
【Yes. 】
The main system's answer this time was simple and clear, and Lin You felt that she had figured it out a bit.
If Song Yu were the original protagonist, he would have been blessed with extraordinary luck. But something happened, and the consciousness of this world suddenly stopped liking him.
Not only was a new protagonist created, but an opportunity was also deliberately created for the two to face off, allowing Gu Yunting to seize Song Yu's opportunity, which is the protagonist's halo and luck, when he was both prepared and unprepared.
This kind of biased and boundless worldview is also a kind of bug!
Lin You immediately clicked the report button. Although A Piao said that the chances of a report from a small employee like them being dealt with were slim, there was still some hope, wasn't there?
What she didn't know was that the Three Thousand Small Worlds were originally created from stories in novels, movies, and TV dramas from the Great World, which evolved with the help of the Time and Space Administration Bureau, and were all under the jurisdiction of the Time and Space Administration Bureau.
The bug reports Lin You made earlier, which involved protagonist attributes, didn't have much impact on the world. At most, the world's consciousness would just receive a system email reminder from the main system.
But her current actions, such as reporting the world's consciousness for abusing and killing its own protagonist, are causing a huge problem.
In stories that can generate small worlds, which protagonist doesn't have a group of fans? If this angers the fans, at best, they will be unfollowed by everyone and disappear from the public eye. The power of this world will become weaker and weaker, and it will also be easily targeted by some strange entities.
In severe cases, if fans become emotionally agitated and turn against their idols, it could potentially cause global unrest.
The world consciousness of the small world originally felt that its protagonist, Song Yu, was too rigid and boring, and had too few followers, so it created a reborn Gu Yunting as the protagonist.
Its plan is perfect: Gu Yunting replaces Song Yu, showing off, leveling up, and picking up girls in the entertainment industry. This kind of storyline is quite attractive.
Through the events in Taoxi Town, Song Yu came into contact with supernatural occurrences, awakened his own talent, and from then on became a ruthless Taoist master who was devoted to seeking the Tao, capturing ghosts and exorcising demons.
In this way, he had two main characters and was able to build the prototype of cultivation, laying the foundation for future advancement.
But plans can never keep up with changes. Even the world's consciousness did not expect that Song Yu would not even last a night and would be scared to death by a level one ghost that had not even taken shape.
Fearing punishment, the World Consciousness dared not utter a sound. After painstakingly rewinding time, it secretly concealed Song Yu's identity and submitted an application for a mission participant.
They were also quite cunning, lowering the task level and threshold, trying to match it with a novice system to complete tasks.
Lin You is indeed a novice, a novice with some skills and not much cunning, but she truly considers Song Yu as one of her own.
After all, Song Yu was indeed a very good target, and besides, they were on the same household registration.
The world consciousness was initially quite pleased to see Lin You guiding Song Yu onto the planned path, but before it could enjoy its pleasure for long, Lin You, who was busy with the mission, caught it by the tail.
Now it has been thoroughly scolded by the main system, not only fined, but also has to attend long-term ideological education classes and write a long list of self-criticisms.
Of course, Lin You was unaware of these things; she was still happy about her new reward.
[Ding! Your information feedback in this world has been verified. You have received a reward: a main quest guide.]
Lin You rubbed her hands together happily. It's so great to be a full-time employee! Not only did the reward for reporting be issued immediately, but it was also something super useful.
Lin You experienced four worlds. Except for the first world, where the questline was relatively clear, the quests in the later worlds were somewhat abstract, and even the methods to complete them were confusing.
She still doesn't understand how the progress bar for the main quest in the cultivation world is calculated.
Lin You opened the mission progress bar for this world, and a walkthrough button appeared next to each of the two missions.
Becoming the best actor doesn't need much explanation; it's simply a matter of obtaining an award recognized by the world's authorities.
The mission, which was 95% complete, was later explained as being due to the existence of entities in the world that still threatened Song Yu's life.
Now, Song Yu's defenses are strong enough to ensure his safety even in the event of an accident. Lin You looked at the explanation and thought for a while before remembering that there seemed to be a level nine ghost king in the ghost distribution map given by the ghost.
Although she didn't know exactly how powerful a level nine expert was, Lin You had many life-saving items given to her by Ye Zhen and Ye Xinglan, so she wasn't worried about not being able to handle it.
She tried asking Zhang Mochen about the Level 9 Ghost King, but the boy, who was doing his homework, looked at him speechlessly: "Senior, do you think I would still have the chance to do my homework here if I had actually seen the Level 9 Ghost King?"
After all, ghosts can increase their energy by devouring each other. The reason he wasn't eaten by the actor ghost was because that guy wanted to use his identity to enter reincarnation.
If he were to actually encounter a level nine ghost king, he probably wouldn't even be enough to fill the gap between the ghost king's teeth.
However, he could also ask his old friend, or rather, his now-grown-up friend Zhang Mofeng, for information on this matter.
After receiving the letter, Zhang Mofeng quickly sent over a bunch of materials with detailed annotations.
To give an example, the highest-ranking ghost they knew, Lü Guoqiang, would probably be able to defeat one level-eight ghost general if there were ten Lü Guoqiangs, and it would be difficult for thirty level-eight ghost generals to defeat one level-nine ghost king.
The record also clearly states that when a level nine ghost king was born, they mobilized more than twenty level eight celestial masters, more than forty level seven celestial masters, and more than a hundred level five and six celestial masters. It was only at the cost of the entire force that they managed to eliminate the ghost king.
Lin You mentally calculated the combat power. There should be a watershed between level nine and level eight, similar to the feeling between the late stage of Qi Refining and the early stage of Foundation Establishment in the cultivation world.
The talisman she gave Song Yu really couldn't withstand the attack power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
After consulting with his superiors, Zhang Mofeng quickly called back. Thanks to Zhang Mochen's connection, he was somewhat acquainted with Lin You.
"Grandma, why did you ask about the Ninth-Level Ghost King? Did you discover any clues?" Knowing she disliked beating around the bush, Zhang Mofeng asked directly.
"No, I was just a little curious, after all, I've never seen it before." Lin You said casually as she looked at the brutal battle scene in the data.
After all, according to the ghost's detection, that level nine ghost king is sealed, and it cannot come out for every three to five hundred years without breaking the seal.
She certainly wouldn't reveal the real reason, lest it cause unnecessary panic.
Zhang Mofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are you curious about this? It's nothing fun. I recently found a newly opened pastry shop that uses traditional methods. I packed some of everything and it will be delivered tomorrow."
Lin You thanked them, feeling somewhat helpless at their behavior of treating her like a child. Of course, Song Yu, who was publicly known to be several years younger than her, was also being pampered.
After the truth came to light, Song Yu returned to the film crew. Although his disciples did not understand his hobby, they still chose to respect it.
The day before Song Yu joined the crew, Director Qian received a total of sixty-four phone calls, each one instructing him to take good care of Song Yu, Lin You, Xue Ziqi, and Wei Chengzhi.
Not only did they demand a certain amount of filming time each day, but they also inquired about every detail of the filming process, including food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. They even made sure the costumes were sterilized and cleaned.
Director Qian felt like his head had exploded, and in the end, he managed to shut them up by shifting the blame for the filming schedule onto Song Yu.
However, he is also very confident in his drama. As long as the plot is not flawed and with so many people supporting it, "Twins" will definitely pass the censorship smoothly.
With encouragement from a group of disciples in the group, Song Yu finally changed his previously tight schedule. He not only had time to give online classes in the group every day, but also had half an hour to accompany Lin You to experiment with the effects of talismans.
When Lin You had drawn ten protective talismans, filled seven with reflective talismans, and stuffed a pocketful with other attack talismans, the progress bar for protecting Song Yu finally reached 96%.
But after the talisman was taken away, the quest progress bar dropped back to 95%.
Lin You: ………?
This was the first time she had ever known that a task progress bar could actually go down!
Okay, this setup is actually quite reasonable. There are so many variables in life. After all, Gu Yunting isn't dead yet. If he's released, then the missions they did before will be rendered useless.
Thinking of this, Lin You inquired about Gu Yunting's whereabouts again, still feeling uneasy. Zhang Mofeng did indeed know something about this person, and he didn't hide it from Lin You, though his tone was a bit strange.
"...Not long after that guy was locked up, he claimed to be a reincarnated person who knew a lot about the future. But to get him to talk about it, we had to ensure that his reputation wasn't damaged and that the TV series he filmed would be broadcast smoothly. This guy is quite obsessed with being a star."
Zhang Mofeng couldn't understand why, but Lin You guessed something. Gu Yunting must have noticed something, such as the competition for luck between him and Song Yu, and his status as a leading actor in the entertainment industry.
If he loses the protagonist's aura, he'll probably never be able to turn his life around.
Lin You was naturally very interested in such a good subject for observation and experimentation. She generously stated that neither she nor Song Yu minded the matter, and that the overall situation should be taken into consideration.
I also gossiped with Zhang Mofeng about Gu Yunting's harem, his girlfriends, and how many people had visited him.
"Aside from a little girl who wasn't even an adult yet and went looking for him, crying her eyes out, no one else seemed to care about it." Zhang Mofeng strongly condemned Gu Yunting for deceiving the little girl.
Fortunately, as a protagonist in a harem novel who pretends to be a gentleman, Gu Yunting still has some principles in certain aspects. For example, even though he often hugs and kisses young girls, he still plans to wait until they are adults before actually having sex with them.
Lin You didn't know what to say, but Zhang Mochen, who was listening in, hit the nail on the head: "Is this guy out of his mind?"
