Shen Lingran was very proud and turned to leave, but was tripped by a staff member.
"Third Young Master, we haven't sent the Pen Fairy away yet. Please don't leave. Think of another way. I heard that if you invite the Pen Fairy and don't send it away, something big will happen!" The staff looked at Shen Lingran nervously.
He already regretted doing such a dangerous thing for the so-called traffic.
Shen Lingran frowned.
He had received the prophecy and was in a state of excitement. He looked at his hands and feet, shook his clothes, took two steps, and found nothing unusual about his body.
So he waved his hand and said, "Even living people can't do anything to me, let alone a ghost. Stop talking nonsense. You are the only one who is responsible for the live broadcast room being blocked."
After saying that, he walked away in a swagger, regardless of the staff's attempts to keep him.
The staff member looked at the two candles on the table, which were still blue, and quickly put his hands together and bowed to the void.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, don't come looking for me!"
As soon as the words fell, the candlelight flickered, and with a "whoosh", it turned back to its previous orange color.
The staff member breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the stool.
Shen Lingran strode towards the door.
The checkpoint NPC seemed quite polite, smiling and handing over the certificate of passing the level. "Congratulations, you've successfully passed the level. Please go to the lobby and meet up with your companions."
Shen Lingran looked at the time, but only two hours had passed, so his speed was still quite fast.
If it was the previous four-star mission, even if he had done the mission well from the beginning, he might not be able to finish it now. Fortunately, he was smart and resourceful and came up with this best of both worlds solution.
"What about them? Did they pass the level smoothly?" Shen Lingran asked with his chin raised.
The NPC continued to smile: "Your companions have all passed the level and are waiting for you in the lobby."
A smile froze on Shen Lingran's face.
"They all passed?" Shen Lingran was incredulous.
The NPC was getting a little impatient with the question, but he still maintained a professional smile: "Not only did I complete all the levels, I also watched your complete the live broadcast."
Shen Lingran: ...
He glared at the NPC fiercely for daring to be sarcastic to him.
Who can he blame for not being able to pass the level? Isn’t it because of the director team’s tricks?
Hearing that he was the last one to pass the level successfully, Shen Lingran suddenly felt unhappy, especially when he thought about how he lost to Qiao Ruoxi.
He insisted that they wait for him!
Under the guidance of the NPC, Shen Lingran stopped when he reached the stairs to the second floor.
"Wait a minute, I need to go to the bathroom."
People have urgent needs, and the NPC was helpless and had to agree: "The bathroom is on the third floor, I'll wait for you here." Then he took out his mobile phone and started watching short videos.
Shen Lingran took two steps and looked back at the NPC.
I saw him holding up his cell phone, laughing so hard that he fell over.
A voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"He's going to secretly film you, film you acting like a big shot, and publish it to everyone. That way, your reputation will be ruined!"
The sound seemed to have reverberation, echoing over and over again in Shen Lingran's mind, gradually occupying all his thoughts.
Shen Lingran clenched his fists in anger. He strode up to the NPC, snatched the man's phone, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it.
"I'll let you take secret photos, I'll let you take secret photos! I can beat up ten paparazzi like you at once, believe it or not, I'll sue you!"
The NPC was stunned and took a long time to react.
"Who is the paparazzi? Who is secretly filming you? I'm watching short videos. You have to compensate me for my phone!"
Shen Lingran glanced at the phone lying on the ground. Although the screen was cracked, the short video on it was still flashing.
Oops, he was wrong!
If he framed someone and smashed someone's phone, and the news got out, there would be another wave of crisis public relations, and his second brother would have to tell him off!
Shen Lingran quickly turned off the microphone and pointed at the NPC: "I'll turn on the microphone in a moment. As long as you admit that you were secretly filming me just now, I will give you 50,000 after the show is finished!"
Fifty thousand is much less than the cost of crisis public relations, and it won't damage his reputation.
The NPC was holding his phone with a distressed look on his face, and his heart suddenly moved when he heard the words.
Fifty thousand is not a small amount of money. He worked hard in this secret room for half a year and could barely earn this much money!
"You have to keep your word. If you don't give me the money, I will expose you on the Internet!" The NPC half threatened and half compromised.
Shen Lingran glanced at the NPC with disdain: "Don't you know who I, Mr. Shen, am? My grandmother is the founder of the Shen Group. Will I go back on my word?"
"Well, alright then."
The two hit it off immediately, and Shen Lingran turned on the microphone again.
"Third Master, I know I was wrong. I was obsessed with money and wanted to take pictures of you to make money. Please forgive me!" The NPC's wailing voice was heard in Shen Lingran's live broadcast room.
"Since there weren't any serious consequences, I'll let you go this time. If you dare to do it again, I'll see you at the police station. Get lost!"
"Okay, okay, I'll get out of here!"
Shen Lingran’s fans in the live broadcast room were furious.
[It's fine if the director team is being ruthless, but how come even the NPCs are plotting against my brother? Brother Ling Ran is so miserable!]
[Brother Ling Ran is so kind! Why isn't there a camera in the corridor so I can see that person's face clearly? I'm going to cyberbully him!]
[That's right, this kind of person should be taken to the police station directly. How can we let him go?]
The staircase of the old house.
Shen Lingran looked at the NPC's fleeing back and curled his lips coldly.
As expected, right and wrong don’t matter at all. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can’t do.
But at this moment, he really wanted to go to the toilet.
As I was walking towards the third floor, I suddenly saw a restroom sign vaguely hanging under the dim light at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
Well, that NPC really tricked him. There was a restroom on the second floor, but he insisted on making him go to the third floor. Was he deliberately making him walk a longer distance?
Fortunately, he found it.
He swaggered to the bathroom on the second floor, and as soon as he walked in, he was faced with a large dressing mirror.
In the dim light of the bathroom, Shen Lingran looked at himself in the mirror and thought of the Pen Fairy's prophecy.
In the future, this handsome face will appear in major media newspapers and magazines, he will become a hot topic in the entertainment industry, and more and more people will be obsessed with him and willing to spend money on him!
By that time, the Shen family will become famous because of him, grandma will definitely look at him with admiration, and the Shen family’s resources will definitely return to him!
Grandma might even leave Shen’s shares to him directly!
The more Shen Lingran thought about it, the more excited he became, as if the person in the mirror was no longer the popular young star Shen Lingran, but Shen family heir Shen Lingran!
He smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes bit by bit, turned on the faucet, washed his face, smoothed his hair, and smiled with satisfaction.
The dim light flickered for a moment, and Shen Lingran walked into the bathroom, but Shen Lingran in the mirror was still there.
The boy in the mirror gradually raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes turned outward, and he revealed a sinister and terrifying smile.
