When Lu Manni finally learned about Li Hang's actions, the matter had already exploded the Internet. She listened to the recording with a pale face and felt like she was trapped in a nightmare.
But this dream was one she could not wake up from.
Lu Manni hurriedly tried to contact Li Hang, but the other wouldnât even acknowledge her. Although she had known Li Hang for a while now, she had no idea where the other lived. Therefore, she couldnât even go and try to physically find him. Lu Manni was so anxious she could do nothing but pace back and forth within the room.
Li Hang that bastard! Although she did indeed use him, but sheâd never thought of harming him, so how dare he treat her like this!
And also those nosy netizens on the Internet, this has nothing to do with them. Why do they curse her with such vicious words? !
But even though Lu Manni was shocked, angry, hateful, and resentful, she couldnât do anything at all. She had just been reborn and she hadnât officially signed a contract with any entertainment company â she didnât even have an agent. Even if she wanted help, she had no idea who to approach.
Did she really have to quit the entertainment circle? Was her acting career â which had just begun â really coming to a end??
No, she would not allow this to happen!
Since she had been reborn, then she will proudly and gloriously live out her life, becoming the focus of everyoneâs admiration. She must reach the pinnacle of humanity!
Lu Manni clenched her fists, her eyes desperate with a light of crazy stubbornness. She must not admit defeat, because she will be the last person standing!
This kind of morbid self-comfort finally focused Lu Manniâs confusing thoughts, and her mind eventually turned to Su Yu.
From Lu Manniâs perspective, Su Yuâs actions were all inconsistent with her memories, and so the other must have experienced something similar to herself.
As someone whoâd been rebirthed, Lu Manni actually deeply despised that another had the same oppourtunity as herself, and so in the past month or so, since Su Yu hadnât contacted her, she hadnât taken initiative to contact Su Yu either.
But the situation at hand was obviously different. Her reputation had been completely wrecked overnight. If she couldnât find a good backer to help her fix everything, then her road to stardom might really be over!
Lu Manni took a deep breath and despite her trembling fingers, picked up the phone and directly dialled Su Yuâs mobile number. She did not even consider whether the current time was appropriate for a call or not.
At this time, Su Yu was actually thinking about the big issues in his life. The sudden sound of the phone ringing in the otherwise silent room was extremely jarring. He looked at the number, frowned, powered off his phone, and threw it aside.
But this sound was actually a wonderful oppourtunity for Round Ball. It had been crouching in a corner, wanting to get its hostâs attention, but Su Yu had been completely ignoring it.
Although it felt depressed, Round Ball had also started thinking up ways to reconcile with Su Yu, despite it knowing that this entire debacle was one-sided and Su Yu had probably already put the previous conflict out of mind.
Taking this chance, Round Ball casually floated over and said, âItâs so late already, does Master Host not plan to rest yet?â
âIâm thinking about a very serious problem.â Su Yu swatted Round Ball away.
The little ball swayed a bit but steadied itself. âWhat problem? Tell me, maybe I can help?â
âWhatâs the relationship between Qi Chen and Chu Chengyan?â Su Yu replied very co-operatively. .
Round Ball really regretted asking, because it really didnât know the answer to this question ah!
âOr, are Qi Chen and Chu Chengyan the same person?â Su Yu slowly closed his eyes, and there seemed to be something hidden in his gentle voice. âThey donât look the same, have different identities, and even live in different worlds. But they have unique similarities. Is there some way for me to find the answer?â
Su Yu had always felt that he was a decisive person, that no matter what, as long as he can pick it up, he can also put it down.
He had also always believed that his strength was enough to control everything, that nothing would be beyond his plans.
Even when he had encountered Chu Chengyan in the first world and spent his whole life with him, he had still thought this way. But now, he was beginning to have doubts.
Although heâd never admit it, and he rarely showed it, Su Yu knew that he had been subconsciously remembering a certain time, missing someone, and yearning for his companionship.
And now, heâs met another person who is completely different in looks and status, but in some respects he is damn similar to the one person he misses.
This made Su Yu start to wonder, what is the relationship between these two people? Could it be⦠that they were actually the same person?
Perhaps it is because they were in two different worlds that this idea could be true, because Su Yu himself was such an example.
But what Su Yu desires is never âpossibleâ or âsimilarâ. What he needs is a certain âyesâ.
If he couldnât find the answer to the question, then Su Yu couldnât make any moves on Qi Chen no matter how many similarities he shared with Chu Chengyan.
But, no one could tell him the answer to this important question.
For the first time in his life, Su Yu encountered a problem that made him somewhat flustered.
Round Ball who was quietly floating to the side thought for a bit, and then suddenly started flashing lights. âMaster Host, Iâve thought of something!â
Su Yu, who was already a bit sleepy, was shocked into awareness by this disruptive ball. He raised a hand and rubbed his eyes, wanting to directly throw this noisy system out of the window.
âMaster Host, there is a prop in the system market called âEye of the Soulâ â as long as you buy it and installed it, you can directly see a humanâs soul!â The little ball was completely unaware of its hostâs thoughts, and continued to yell excitedly. âIf Qi Chen and Chu Chengyan are the same person, then even if their bodies are different, their soul should still be the same!â
Hearing this, Su Yuâs fingertips twitched. After a moment of silence, he immediately opened the market interface and found the discussed prop by searching for keywords.
The use and effect of the âEye of the Soulâ was exactly as described by Round Ball. It should be very suitable for Su Yuâs needs, but when he saw the price of the item, his expression suddenly turned frosty.
âThis prop needs 20,000 IQ points?â Su Yuâs gaze swept over Round Ball like a sharp knife.
Every time Su Yu completes a worldâs main task, he can earn 2,000 IQ points, so 20,000 IQ points was equivalent to him completing a full ten worlds.
By that time, whatâs the use of this prop? Take it home to celebrate New Yearâs with?
The ball obviously just thought of this problem as well, and its lights dimmed. âUm⦠itâs just that this prop can also be used for gambling, reading thoughts, etc, the function is similar to that of a cheat, so the price is a bit expensive. Itâs just that it also meets the needs of Master Host, so I suggested it. Um, if Master Host thinksâ¦â
âI want to go home.â Su Yuâs cold words interrupted the little ballâs ramblings.
âWhat?!â The little ball instantly spazzed.
Su Yu coldly glanced at the ball and repeated his words. âI said, Iâm going back to reality.â
Round Ball whoâd just regained its senses was damaged deeply by this news, and it didnât even have the energy to flash its lights anymore. âYing ying ying, Master Host why do you suddenly want to go back to the real world? I beg you, donât be this capricious, whereâs your heart, youâre really okay with leaving me helpless and alone in these three thousand worldsâ¦â
âShut up.â Su Yu snorted.
Although Round Ball still felt that it still couldnât accept the reality of such cruel and unreasonable demands, but it was so used to Su Yuâs oppression that it automatically stopped its crying.
Su Yu sat up from the bed and put on an expression that spelled nothing but trouble. âGive me the prop, or send me back to the real world.â
The first reaction of the little ball who was just experiencing something sadder than death â ironically â was not âoh how wonderful, Master Host doesnât actually want to leave me, he just wants the prop, I can finally breath a sign of reliefâ but rather, it was âwhat the fuck, so the all-impressive heavens-exploding Host has actually mastered the art of whining and tantrum throwing to get what he wants, what is this feeling â itâs so sour and like a dream!â
Host, if you are so unreasonable, societies will collapse okay!
âAre you going to give it to me? If you donât, then goodbye.â Su Yu raised his eyebrows at Round Ball, as if he didnât care nor realize that he was ruining his own image.
The ball did a few laps in the air, trying to regain its previous calm â just now it had really felt a million points of fright!
As a principled system, in this case, it should resolutely resist its hostâs rogue and unreasonable behavior. With such a thought, the little ball only hesitated for two seconds and then itâ¦â¦.. directly gave in.
Oi oi, really, itâs not because this system is without principles, itâs just that reality and the Host are both too fierce, this system really cannot bear! TT___TT
âUmâ¦â The ball fluttered in the air, feeling that its heart and the rhythm had been shattered into countless pieces, never to be put back together again. âIn light of this being Master Hostâs first system transaction, I can giveâ¦. give a discount of 99% offâ¦. this is the bottom line, definitely no more! Andâ¦and this is definitely not precedence for future transactions!"
20,000 points of IQ, a discount is 99% off is 2,000 IQ points â this discount was obviously very rarely seen.
Su Yu nodded, the corners of his mouth slowly curving into a smile befitting of a Demon King. âDone.â
The ball seemed to have experienced great hardships of life and death and it fell straight to the ground, crying and pleading: âMaster Host, next time you have something to say, please just say it directly. Donât scare me like this anymore.â
Even if it didnât have a heart, Round Ball still could not withstand this kind of shock too many times!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright.â Su Yu very happily bought the âEye of the Soulâ from the market, whose price had already changed from 20,000 IQ points to 2,000 points.
Then another problem arose. Although Su Yu now has the âEye of the Soulâ, Chu Chengyan is a person who existed in the previous worldâ¦â¦ how could he determine whether Qi Chen and Chu Chengyan were the same person?
