Chapter 02

"Don't run away, I've already said it!"

"Start the first-level punishment procedure!"

"Today's matter is very important, you can't be dragged away, stop it now!" "

... Start the second-level punishment procedure!"

As the last word fell, pain instantly surged through his limbs.

Xingshi was only two steps away from the wall, and he made a sharp turn into the corridor next to it. There was a restroom sign on it, which he had just spotted.

He ran to the sink and washed his hands, then looked up at the face in the mirror - it was not unfamiliar, it was his own face.

Xingshi stared at it for a few seconds, then turned and left.

Through eating, he estimated that not many people here knew him. Since everyone was a stranger to each other, he took off his coat and changed his "skin", pretending that the person who had just run wildly was not him, and calmly returned to the restaurant.

The second-level punishment has ended, and this pain is completely acceptable. The system cannot control his body, and it seems that it cannot kill him at will. At present, it seems that nothing can be done to him except punishment.

He sorted out the information and went to the beverage area.

The system was almost scared and disconnected, and seeing that he was full of energy and in the mood to drink, it collapsed: "The second-level punishment is useless to you?"

If it were another host, he would be paralyzed the moment it started. How could he be fine?

It asked: "Is there something wrong with your nervous system?"

Xingshi said: "My pain threshold is high, why don't you try the third level?"

The system was silent.

Xingshi thought that this punishment mechanism was indeed triggered only under certain conditions, and said, "So it doesn't hurt when I hit the wall, how about I hit it for you to see?"

The system immediately said, "I'll tell you."

Xingshi poured a glass of juice and said "hmm" to indicate that he was listening.

"Xingshi, 19 years old, a freshman at Z University."

After the compromise, the system's voice returned to calm: "You met a scout while working during the winter vacation, and signed a contract with June Culture Media as a trainee. Today is the day for the re-examination and class placement..."

Xingshi interrupted, "Are you not going to college anymore?"

The system said, "Yes, this place is very close to your school, you can study and train at the same time."

Although June Culture Media has only been established for two years, it is very powerful.

The artists under the company include newly crowned film kings and popular young actors and actresses. Last year, the trainees they promoted won first and fifth place in a popular talent show on the Internet.

This year, major platforms will hold talent shows again, so as soon as the company announced the recruitment of trainees at the beginning of the year, there was an endless stream of people signing up.

After introducing the background, the system said, "The company has set up a scout team, and those with outstanding appearance will be signed to contracts in advance, which is what Feng Zifan and others call 'predetermined positions'."

"Recently, all those who have passed the initial interview will have a re-interview, and today is the last day. In the afternoon, those who passed the re-interview and you 'predetermined positions' will be divided into classes, and then they will receive targeted training."

Xingshi resisted: "How many years did I sign?"

The system said, "Five years."

Xingshi said, "How much is the termination compensation?"

The system said, "The contract says it's over a million, but June culture is more authentic, and the termination fee can be negotiated in a friendly manner. However, with your appearance, if you want to run away, it will have to be at least six figures."

Xingshi asked without hope, "Can I afford it?"

The system said, "No."

Xingshi took a few small cakes and a plate of fruit and returned to his seat.

The system waited for a while but he didn't say anything. It was worried that he would do something naughty again, so it said, "It's great to be a star. Many people like you, and you can make a lot of money."

Fu Xiuning heard the voice again, but didn't look up.

There was a range limit, so he didn't hear how they communicated later. He only saw the host turn sharply into the corridor. The other party ran too fast at that time, and he saw a back figure. He remembered that he was wearing black pants and a denim jacket.

When the class is divided later, he will know who it is.

Feng Zifan and the others had finished eating, and when they saw Xingshi coming back, they moved over there and filled the original empty seat.

The two of them just noticed his movements: "Why are you running? What's wrong?"

Xingshi moved his plate to the middle to share the food, and said casually: "I suddenly felt nauseous, and I didn't even have time to run to the toilet."

Feng Zifan saw that he was eating a small cake and did not look like he was in trouble, so he changed the topic to the class division. This time they knew his name and the default answer.

Xingshi said: "It's not called default, it's just that I signed a few days earlier than you. I was lucky to meet a scout. If the scout saw you, maybe you would have signed too."

Feng Zifan and the others were happy to hear this, but they still waved their hands with self-awareness.

"There are different levels of handsomeness. There is still a gap between us and you," Feng Zifan said, "We don't know the exact number of candidates, but there are two boys who are particularly obvious. They both seem to have arrived at noon. One of them is you. You arrived at noon, right?"

Xingshi asked the system and said after getting the answer, "Yes."

Feng Zifan looked as if it was just as he expected, and lowered his voice, "The other one is just behind us on the left. Take a look, you will definitely find who I am talking about."

Xingshi turned around after hearing this and saw the person who was two tables away from him at a glance.

It was early spring, and the other party's windbreaker was neatly folded and placed on the back of the chair next to him. Now he was only wearing a white shirt.

The sleeves on both sides were rolled up neatly, revealing beautiful wrists. The fingers were white and slender, and they held the dark chopsticks easily. The movements were very gentle and the way he ate was also very gentle.

His face was a little pale, but it did not affect his good looks. Instead, it made him look a little fragile. He just looked too noble, and there was a sense of courtesy and alienation all over his body, which made people dare not approach him easily.

Xingshi met Feng Zifan's expectant eyes and gave a secret signal: "White shirt?"

Feng Zifan nodded vigorously: "Is it very conspicuous?"

Xingshi said "hmm" honestly.

Feng Zifan envied: "You two are so straightforward. You don't need to make up specially to debut on the spot. You will definitely have a lot of fans in the future."

Xingshi did not respond, because as soon as he said "hmm", the system began to urge him to make friends.

He understood: "He is Fu Xiuning?"

The system said, "Yes, so handsome, it's pleasing to the eye."

"He's not a trainee, he's the boss of June Culture. The classes were divided today, and he probably wanted to see you trainees, so he didn't go to the private room to eat," it suggested, "Pretend you know nothing and make friends with him, and maybe he will take better care of you in the company in the future." Xingshi

nibbled on a small cake, while listening to Feng Zifan and the others gossiping, and replied to the system, "He doesn't look like the type who can make friends with others."

The system said, "You are good-looking, what if he likes you?"

Xingshi "You didn't deny it, so he is really hard to approach."

The system was silent for a second, quickly calculated the host's personality and behavior style, and concluded that this was a fool. It was useless to persuade him, so it said as a matter of course: "He is the target of the strategy, how can it be easy? You only have the advantage of appearance, but it won't work just by relying on this. If you don't believe me, just try it."

Xingshi thought without hesitation: "No need to try, I can't do it."

System: "?"

Xingshi suggested: "Why don't you bind someone else?"

"..." The system said, "Once bound, it cannot be untied unless the strategy is successful or the host dies."

Xingshi regretted it.

The system said: "After the host successfully captures the target, he can make a wish to the main system. As long as it is not too outrageous, it will generally come true."

Xingshi finished eating the small cake and reached for the fruit plate.

The system said coldly: "Just eat it. Do you think you are the only host? To tell you the truth, you are the last one to be bound. The other hosts have already come into contact with Fu Xiuning."

Xingshi picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth. He paused for a moment and asked to confirm: "There are other hosts in this world besides me. We have the same goal, right?"

Seeing that he was a little concerned, the system thought that the provocation method was effective, and gave a cold "hmm".

Xingshi was curious: "Why Fu Xiuning?"

The system said: "Because he is antisocial. Do you remember the favorability value reported by the program?"

Xingshi remembered: "-5?"

The system said: "Well, this is his initial favorability value for you, but you don't know each other at all. He hates everyone equally..."

As he spoke, the people in the restaurant began to make a commotion.

Feng Zifan asked and learned that the practice room downstairs was open, and they could go there first to get familiar with the environment and wait for the class division.

Xingshi still had half of his fruit plate left, and said, "You go first, I'll finish eating before leaving."

Feng Zifan and the other man sat down again after hearing this, indicating that they would leave together.

Xingshi continued to listen to the system's explanation, which was that the Fu family was very powerful, and Fu Xiuning would have more resources and power to use after inheriting the family business in the future. If he was determined to oppose society, it would be terrible.

He finished his fruit plate after speaking about justice, then stood up and said, "Then why didn't you kill him or destroy him?"

The system said, "Our goal is to save him. This is a human life. How can we just kill him?"

Xing Shi asked back, "The host's life is also a life. Shouldn't you punish him or kill him?"

The system choked and said, "We are just talking. We punish him because we are too anxious... Fu Xiuning!"

Fu Xiuning was walking out at this time.

Due to the commotion just now, there were not many people left in the restaurant. When he heard the system being excited, he saw three people coming out of the dining area on the right. He looked over naturally and locked onto the last boy in a second - black casual pants, white sweater, holding a denim jacket in his hand. It should be the host. Xingshi

was called by the system and raised his head. The two of them met each other's eyes.

Fu Xiuning saw his face clearly.

He had a high nose bridge, delicate eyebrows, clean, handsome, dazzling, and full of youth.

His eyes were very calm, perfectly suppressing the impetuousness of this age, revealing a different temperament.

[Ding Di]

[Current Favorability: -4]

Xing Shi: "?"

System: "!"

Fu Xiuning: "..."

The two people's eyes met for only a second before they looked away.

Fu Xiuning walked forward, his eyes darkening.

This favorability program had ruined his business and always put him at risk of being exposed, but he still didn't expect that one day he would give the other party a point higher because of the host's appearance. After all, after so many years, he had no feelings for humans.

It seemed that this face was in line with his aesthetics, and he suddenly felt disgusted when he thought that the host would become unrecognizable under it in the future.

[Ding Di]││

[Current Favorability Value: -10]

Xing Shi: “…”

System: “?!”

The system never expected that Fu Xiuning would gain points as soon as he saw the host. It was so happy that it was about to set off firecrackers, but it suffered a disastrous defeat before it could celebrate. It

was immediately stimulated: “Why?” Xing Shi accepted it well: “This is easy to understand.”

Fu Xiuning maintained a steady pace, wanting to hear his opinion.

Xingshi said: "Beautiful things make people appreciate them, so when he saw me for the first time, he thought I was handsome, and his favorability increased by 1 point, -4 points, is that okay?"

The system said: "Nothing wrong, but why did it go down again?"

"It was stunning at first sight, so of course I had to savor it."

Xingshi followed slowly behind him: "Didn't you say he was a pervert, so after careful consideration, he found that I was even more handsome than him, damn it, -10 points."

System: "..."

Fu Xiuning: "..."
