So hungry...
So cold...
Tao Tao opened her eyes dazedly. The scene before her gradually became clearer. She was stunned: "Huh?"
What I saw before me was an unfamiliar scene: cold steel machines were moving in the air, and the "people" molded by Nuwa were moving in the huge space. The surrounding sounds were noisy, and the air was filled with the breath of various "people".
Where is this...?
Tao Tao was originally a young Taotie, spending his days in his cave, lying on a hill of fried chicken and barbecued cakes, eating and sleeping. After the great war, the entire Taotie clan was sealed away, including Tao Tao.
She hadn't eaten for a long time since then.
“Gugugugu——”
Just as Tao Tao stared up at everything in front of her with her eyes wide open in astonishment, her stomach suddenly growled. She subconsciously covered her belly, and the moment she lowered her head, her pupils trembled instantly.
The white and tender little short hands were like glutinous rice, sticking to the soft belly. When Tao Tao moved her paws tentatively, the soft short hands also moved at the same time.
In an instant, an incredible thought emerged in Tao Tao's mind——
Could this be... her claws?!
Just when Tao Tao was so shocked by the unexpected incident that she couldn't speak, she suddenly heard a shout from the side.
"Child No. 59, Tao Tao."
Before Tao Tao could react, a strong force suddenly grabbed her arm. The young human body could not withstand such a force, and Tao Tao, as a glutton, felt "pain" for the first time, and subconsciously let out an "ah".
But this faint cry of pain was not noticed by the people around him.
The owner of the big hand didn't even look at Tao Tao. He put on a flattering smile at the staff member who called her number and said hurriedly, "I'm here, I'm here..."
As she spoke, Tao Tao was pushed in front of the staff who called her number like a commodity.
Although Tao Tao is a good-tempered little glutton, he is not a pushover.
But at this moment, she was in no mood to care about the attitude of the owner of the big hand towards her. Instead, she widened her eyes slightly and listened to the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind -
[Ding Dong! Host detected entering the world. Good afternoon, I am your partner system - the cannon fodder female supporting role development system.]
***
The interview for "Where Are We Going, Baby?" has reached the third day.
After seeing off the 58th candidate, director Zhuo Jing took off her black-framed glasses and sighed imperceptibly while pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Where Are We Going, Baby?" is a reality show featuring "adorable amateur kids + celebrity parents". It is also the first reality show she has served as the chief director. Zhuo Jing has put in a lot of effort in this show.
only……
Among the children who participated in the auditions, there were many pretty and cute ones, but whether they were suitable for participating in reality shows also depended on their other characteristics and whether they were suitable for their trainee parents.
After all, the chemistry between cute amateur kids and their celebrity parents is the biggest highlight of "Where Are We Going, Baby?"
Thinking of the celebrity guests who came to participate in the reality show recording this time, Zhuo Jing's headache suddenly became more severe.
In just a dozen seconds, Zhuo Jing had quickly organized her thoughts in her mind, re-managed her expression, and after putting on her black-framed glasses, she returned to being the calm, composed, and powerful director she once again was.
Zhuo Jing nodded to the staff at the door and calmly instructed, "The next child can enter."
***
As she followed the staff to the interview room, Tao Tao was trying to communicate with the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind.
After the initial surprise, Tao Tao soon became curious about the voice in her head.
The little Taotie, who has stayed in the cave for tens of thousands of years, has never seen such a thing as a "system"!
【Who are you? 】
[Why do you call me host? I'm clearly Tao Tao.]
[Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Development System? What is a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character?]
Tao Tao seemed to be following the staff obediently, but in fact she was frantically poking the voice of the so-called "system" in her mind.
The voice seemed to be in a good mood.
If Tao Tao were to ask this question in a group of Taotie, the other adult Taotie would probably eat their food and pretend not to hear her. After all, for Taotie, answering Tao Tao's question was not as important as eating.
But in response to Tao Tao's questions, the voice answered them one by one.
【I am the system.】
[Host refers to the relationship between you and me. Just like you are Tao Tao, the little Taotie in the Taotie tribe, and now you are also my host.]
The "cannon fodder female supporting character" is a female supporting character in a novel. She is vicious, has harmed countless people, and is extremely cruel. She is the biggest obstacle to the hero and heroine being together, and will do everything in her power to destroy the relationship between the hero and heroine!
Listening to the system's explanation, Tao Tao's eyes became even more confused.
[But... Taotao doesn't even know the so-called "male lead" and "female lead", so why would you want to destroy the relationship between them?]
When the system heard Tao Tao's question, it paused for a rare moment, as if it was quickly calculating how to answer Tao Tao's question.
After a moment, the system gave an answer that was not an answer.
[In short, since the soul of the original female supporting character has disappeared, other souls are needed to complete the plot, otherwise the entire world will collapse. If you can complete the plot of the world, then I can help you fulfill a wish.]
[Including lifting the seal, allowing you to eat whatever you want. ]
Before the system bound Tao Tao, it had obviously considered it and hit the nail on the head as soon as it opened its mouth.
Tao Tao's eyes lit up instantly.
【Really? 】
System: [Of course it’s true.]
[System sister, what should I do? ]
Listening to the system's delicate female voice, Tao Tao vaguely thought that the "system" was an elderly female Taotie.
The system paused, as if logic told it that being considered a "sister" by the host would help with the progress of subsequent tasks, so it did not speak to correct it.
As for the abnormal data fluctuation that occurred the moment the baby-voiced "system sister" was heard, the system regarded it as a bug and recorded it in its own problem log.
System: [I will periodically issue you tasks. As long as you complete them as instructed, you can complete the world's plot and fulfill your wishes.]
Tao Tao nodded obediently.
[Task: Pass the audition for "Where Are We Going, Baby?" and join the reality show.]
When the system's voice sounded, Tao Tao also arrived at the door of the interview room.
As the door was pushed open, everyone's attention was focused on the door.
When they saw Tao Tao clearly, many people in the interview room were dazzled.
The black-haired cub's eyes are pure black, and its soft hair is tied into two small braids on both sides. As the cub walks, the hair sways gently, and occasionally hits the soft white cheeks.
When the black-haired cub in a bright yellow dress grinned with two dimples, and called out sweetly, "Big brothers, big sisters, have you eaten?" she was like a sunflower blooming in the sun.
Even though they had seen many human cubs during the auditions, this smile still made many judges smile, and even their voices subconsciously softened.
"Child No. 59, Tao Tao, right?" Zhuo Jing looked at the little girl in front of her and asked in a softer tone.
Tao Tao nodded vigorously, looking at Zhuo Jing with shining eyes: "Sisters, you are so amazing, how come you all know Tao Tao's name!"
The cub's tone was sincere yet puzzled, causing many of the adults present to stifle laughter.
"What's your favorite thing?"
"Taotao likes to eat it!" Tao Tao's eyes lit up, and within a second, she immediately gave her answer.
"Fried chicken legs, cakes, braised pork, crab roe dumplings, shrimp and corn wontons, celery and pork dumplings..."
The serious look on the human cub's face as he read out the names of the dishes made many adults lower their heads to avoid laughing out loud in front of the cub.
It really is...
so cute!
Although the system reminded him of the task, the little Taotie, who had only eaten and drunk in the cave, had no idea how to pass the so-called "audition".
She answered every question the director asked her, completely and honestly. She showed no shyness towards adults or the camera, nor any trained understanding; she simply acted with the purest innocence and naturalness of a young cub.
In the end, even the producer, who was recognized as the one who made children cry at night, couldn't help but tease Tao Tao: "Who is your favorite person?"
Tao Tao tilted her head and frowned at the question.
My favorite system is Tao Tao’s own system.
Her favorite Taotie is the Taotie sister in the tribe who always gives her chicken legs.
But my favorite person...
"This question is a bit difficult. Taotao hasn't thought about it yet. But when Taotao thinks about it, she will tell you."
Seeing the little cub frowning and thinking seriously for a long time, and then making such a solemn promise, who could still have the heart to ask her questions and make things difficult for her?
The producer, who was 1.9 meters tall, muscular, and wearing a large gold chain, finally just held back a laugh and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to tell me."
After Tao Tao left, the discussion immediately began in the meeting room.
“She’s not camera-shy at all…”
"I think I was a model before, and I took promotional photos for a clothing brand..."
"The promotional image is misleading! The performance just now was much more inspiring than the promotional image..."
Amid the discussions around her, Zhuo Jing wrote down the name "Tao Tao" on a piece of paper. Thinking about the little girl's behavior just now, she had an idea and connected Tao Tao's name with another name.
perhaps……
This combination would be quite interesting.
***
In the apartment, intense game sounds came from the screen. Su Jin stared at the screen with his eyes, and his hands never stopped moving.
This was exactly what agent Zuo Yangxia saw when he walked in.
Zuo Yangxia placed the breakfast he brought for Su Jin on the table. "Master, how long are you going to rest at home? Have you read the script I handed you last time? And what about the brand endorsement that offered you an olive branch before? There are mountains of gold and silver in front of you, but you just won't reach out!"
"There's been a lot of rumors circulating in the company lately. Even many of the higher-ups are dissatisfied with you. I also heard that they're planning to promote a new person and take the same path as you... You're not blind to what they're planning, are you?"
Zuo Yangxia said a lot, and looking at Su Jin's indifferent expression, he felt a little helpless.
When signing Su Jin, who was still a newcomer, Zuo Yangxia valued his outstanding appearance and calmness that was different from others.
It is not difficult to enter the entertainment industry; to become a little famous, you rely on promotion; to become very famous, you need both promotion and luck.
But if you want to go far, you must have a clear and calm plan for your career and not be distracted by the flowers and plants around you.
After all, there are many popular stars who have been trained for many years and disappear from the circle if they make a mistake one day.
Su Jin is indeed very hardworking. After only three years in the industry, he has become a hot first-line star in the circle.
Although the labels on him are not always good, no matter inside or outside the circle, they have to admit two things -
Su Jin's face.
And Su Jin's popularity.
However, as time went by, negative feedback from Su Jin's calm personality began to emerge. In simple terms, it was -
Not motivated.
During the period of rapid career growth, Su Jin declined a large number of invitations and stayed in his apartment for two months without accepting any notices. Now, with the TV series he had previously scheduled being broadcast, he can barely make up for the exposure.
But if Su Jin continues to lie low, the voice in the company and his popularity will decline, and Zuo Yangxia has no full confidence that he can deal with it all.
Zuo Yangxia looked up and saw Su Jin sitting cross-legged in front of the screen, concentrating on playing games. He took a deep breath and directly stated the purpose of his visit today: "I have something to tell you. I have arranged a parent-child variety show for you to take care of your children. The recording will start at the end of this month. You should prepare in advance."
Hearing these words, Su Jin, who had been indifferent just now, suddenly paused his fingers pressing the buttons on the game console, and the game character he was controlling stayed there motionless.
The next second, a huge "GAME OVER" message appeared on the screen.
Regardless of the curses from his teammates who had been cheated, Su Jin turned stiffly to look at Zuo Yangxia: "Manager Zuo, are you kidding me?"
He, Su Jin, a single, high-quality young man in his twenties in the entertainment industry, is going to participate in a variety show about taking care of children?
Are you crazy?!
