Basketball miracles

Chapter 169 [You've successfully caught my attention]

Xiao Tu glanced at Yuki Uchida, filled with righteous indignation. "Outrageous! What kind of lousy company is this? They actually want a high school girl to get into the entertainment industry through underhanded means?"

Yuki Uchida sighed, "The spread of the Oscars."

"A name that idolizes foreign things doesn't sound very good." Xiao Tu cut off a few pieces of grilled meat. "Eat your food first, don't think too much. Leave me your contact information, I'll ask my dad about the Japanese entertainment industry, see if he can put in a good word for you. If he can, I'll recommend a company to you, and you'll be in the entertainment industry."

Yuki Uchida blushed deeply and took a few deep breaths before asking, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"Rich and willful."

"what?"

Xiao Tu laughed and said, "Brother, you've successfully caught my attention."

"..." Yuki Uchida's expression was quite interesting.

Xiao Tu found the young Uchida Yuki very interesting. She had a neutral style, spoke in a cute, innocent way, and was even shy—he had never seen this type of girl before.

In Xiao Tu's view, helping Yuki Uchida was a simple matter; at most, it would just bring forward the time it took for her to become famous.

With Robert's connection, Yuki Uchida will have powerful backers in Japan, making her path to fame much easier.

In Yuki Uchida's view, entering the entertainment industry was a life-changing event. She could finally stop suffering the disdain of her relatives and live independently.

This favor was too great. Xiao Tu explained it very simply, but Uchida Yuki felt he wasn't a fraud. So she left her phone number, just in case it worked out.
The three of them ate barbecue and chatted, talking about basketball and the entertainment industry.

Xiao Tu brought up Disney, which the two found very interesting, so he elaborated on it.

In the original owner's memories, life was happy, carefree, and joyful. Xiao Tu, having been exposed to the entertainment industry, knew a great deal about it and could readily recount it. He spoke even more about American basketball, knowing many NBA stars.

Yuki Uchida kept glancing at the restaurant's clock. When Xiao Tu asked her why, she said shyly, "I live a bit far away, and I'm worried I'll miss the train if it gets too late."

"Then let's speed things up and finish eating before we call it a day," Xiao Tu said with a smile.

After dinner, Xiao Tu let Uchida Yuki sit on the back of his bicycle and took her to a nearby station. Then he and Mitsui Hisashi rode their bicycles back to the hotel, enjoying the evening breeze and chatting.

Xiao Tu returned to his room and immediately called Robert Shaw, telling him about Yuki Uchida.

"I'll call and ask right away, it's no big deal. You're actually interested in short-haired, androgynous Japanese high school girls? Didn't you used to like long-haired, big-breasted girls?"

Xiao Tu immediately denied it. "Who said that? I like any beautiful woman."

"Yeah, that's more like me. There are a lot of beautiful women in Japan, and they're very gentle, but their breasts are a bit small, hehehe."

"We can go to other countries to find women with big breasts. Hehehe."

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone, both feeling that it was a minor matter and didn't need to be discussed in person.

Robert certainly has influence in the entertainment industry, and the organizers of today's talent show were eager to curry favor with him, even offering him high school girls. He refused this time, but he has a lover in her early twenties in Japan, whom Xiao Tu has already met once.

Xiao Tu took a shower first, then opened a golden treasure chest. He felt his luck was good today, and it was a good time to open a treasure chest.

The reward from this Golden Treasure Chest is amazing again—a high-tech gadget: the Subconscious Eye Mask!

Subconscious Blind: "Your brain records everything that has happened since birth; there is no forgetting, it's all hidden deep in your consciousness. By wearing the blindfold, you can freely access your subconscious, recall what you want to know, and remember every detail."

Xiao Tu immediately sensed its power. With this eye patch, he would gain a new superpower: an incredible memory.

The human subconscious is like a bottomless ocean, capable of holding a vast amount of information.

For example, the melody of a song that Xiao Tu hears by chance might suddenly pop into his mind at some point, even if he doesn't think about it at all.

Good luck today! Old Wolf is treating us to chicken! Old Wolf is treating us to chicken! Chicken!
Wait, why did I suddenly think of this?
This is where the information stored in the subconscious comes into play.

Xiao Tu is no ordinary person; he is a transmigrator. Including his ordinary past life, he has already lived in four worlds, and his subconscious stores a massive amount of information about the future.

He thought about it for a while and became convinced that this high-tech eye mask was a godsend for him.

With this thing, my past life was no longer ordinary; it was a remarkable life experience. Because in that world, I was the oldest, and I lived in the internet age. Heaven knows how much information I received every day. Every time I was on the toilet, I was on my phone, scrolling through news, short videos, and watching Bilibili.

I don't need to travel to the internet age to get a lot of future information I want, as long as I've had it before.

Xiao Tu had a sudden thought and took the eye mask out of his spatial storage. Like his previous items, it wasn't packaged. This wasn't the kind of eye mask you use to sleep; it was clearly high-tech, like the goggles worn by Cyclops in the animated series "X-Men."

Xiao Tu put it on and tried it on, imagining the ending theme song of the anime "Slam Dunk," "I Only Gaze at You." He immediately understood what the subconscious was; a flood of information surged through his mind, allowing him to clearly "see and hear" every detail.

Xiao Tu's eyes were actually closed, but he had clear images and Maki Ohguro's voice in his mind. He couldn't understand Japanese lyrics before, but now he knew the meaning of all the lyrics without needing Chinese subtitles.

Because he has now learned Japanese, he can write down the lyrics he remembers in Japanese whenever he wants.

Holy crap, I'm totally rich!

That's superpowers.

The song is too simple. Let me try something more complex: the specific plot of the movie "Transformers 1"?

Xiao Tu immediately began to recall various details of the movie, even remembering the mechanical voice of Optimus Prime's voice actor. It felt like watching the movie in his mind.

Okay, this is still considered a perk.

Movies from 1992 can't compare to those of the future, but I can revisit classic films I've seen at any time.

However, this feeling is strange. Unlike actually seeing with my eyes, it feels more like I'm imagining.

Xiao Tu searched his memories in his subconscious for a while, then took off his eye mask, put it back in his spatial dimension, and decided to go to sleep.

He tried it for a while but quickly lost interest; creating a different future was much more fun. No matter how wonderful his memories were, they couldn't compare to enjoying the present.

I'm meeting with Yuki Uchida tomorrow. Everything is uncertain; this is a new memory.

I have absolutely no idea what will happen after she enters the entertainment industry ahead of time.

After lying in bed and pondering for a while, Xiao Tu drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Xiao Tu got up around 9 a.m. to wash up. Robert Shaw called to say that the matter of recommending Yuki Uchida to the entertainment industry had been settled.

"So fast? Is the company reliable?"

“One of the largest talent agencies in Japan, so it must be reliable. As soon as I asked, the company was willing to take her on. I had already put someone in the company before. You don’t understand the Japanese; if they want to please someone, they will stop at nothing.”

Xiao Tu asked, "Why did you refuse their kindness? I don't believe you don't like high school girls."

“If I do this, whether it’s recorded on video or audio, someone will have something on me. Some Japanese people like to put on airs when they lose power, being very polite and humble. But once they have the chance to bite back, they immediately turn from groveling lapdogs into vicious wolves.”

Xiao Tu asked with a smile, "Are there many people in America who view Japanese people the way you do?"

"There are too many reasons, and most people basically think so. So no matter how much they act like dogs, America's strategy toward Japan is still control and suppression. You don't need to worry about these things, just enjoy yourself in Japan. You don't need to be polite to them; the higher your posture, the more they'll fawn over you—that's just how it is."

Xiao Tu smiled; in Japan, he was a high and mighty Celestial Dragon.

Xiao Tu wrote down a phone number, contacted the person in charge at Burning Production, and then took Uchida Yuki for an "interview." The interview was, of course, just a formality; she would definitely pass.

This is Japan's most powerful entertainment agency, with interests spanning numerous industries, and nearly half of all entertainment activities are related to them. Its president, Ikuo Suo, is widely known as "the boss of the Japanese entertainment industry," and is considered its leader.

Later, Yuki Uchida worked for this company; she was poached after she became famous.

This is a very large-scale agency, and they treat their artists very well. Even if an artist is no longer popular, the agency will still support them well.

Xiao Tu immediately called Yuki Uchida. "Hello, is this Uchida?"

"resemble?"

"Yes, it's me. Hurry up and get dressed, get ready to go out, and watch me show you how to be cool and take you to new heights."
