Playing the Eighth Route Army, the system is forcing this on me?

Inside the MPV cabin.

Once the car door closed, most of the flashing lights and noise from outside were instantly shut out.

The car fell silent.

Only the air conditioner vents were blowing cold air.

Yi was leaning against the back seat, still recovering from the scene at the police station entrance.

One second he was in the interrogation room, being stared at by Zhang Xiaoxue like a heinous wanted criminal.

The next second, he was surrounded at the door by a group of reporters and social media users, with cameras shoved into his face like machine guns.

The ups and downs of life are just too exciting.

But what made Yi Zheng even more nervous than the reporters' questions was the blue system panel in front of him that only he could see.

[Host's popularity value has exceeded 50]

Unlock new skills!

Yi Zheng was initially quite excited.

After all, the surge in popularity this time was outrageous.

It was reported across the entire internet.

He was taken away by the police.

He was released again within half an hour.

These twists and turns combined have thrust his name into the spotlight.

Although the process was absurd, the result was gratifying.

That's 500,000 popularity points!

Logically speaking, this level of reward should not be bad.

The skills the system had given him before were so overpowered that they could turn a background actor in Hengdian into a Japanese officer who made the entire internet suspect that he had actually killed people.

Even Wu Jing, a top action star in the industry, was stunned by him.

The new skill unlocked with 500,000 popularity points must be even more overpowered, right?

Yi Zheng had already thought it through in his mind.

What "Oscar-level performance understanding"?

What "empathy across all characters"?

What about "firearms proficiency", "tactical command", and "master of cold weapons"?

If all else fails, a "master of dialogue" would do.

As a result, four large characters slowly popped up on the system panel.

[Skill Name: Delicious Chicken Soup]

[Skill Description: Your chicken soup is the most delicious in the world; no one can resist its temptation!]

"..."

Yi was staring at that line of text, utterly speechless.

His lips twitched uncontrollably.

"Seriously, are you crazy?"

Yi Zheng couldn't help but complain to the system.

The driver in the front seat paused for a moment and glanced at him in the rearview mirror.

"Teacher Yi, are you talking about me?"

Yi Zheng quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, I was cursing those police officers."

The driver said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Yi Zheng lowered his head again, looking at the system panel, becoming increasingly angry.

chicken soup?

Delicious chicken soup?

Is this what I'm lacking right now?

What I need right now is acting skills, what's with this motivational quote?

His lips twitched.

For a moment, I didn't even know where to begin complaining.

What, are you saying that if I stop acting, I'll set up a stall outside Hengdian World Studios and sell chicken soup instead?

The system was quiet.

No reaction at all.

It's like he's dead.

Yi was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

But scolding won't help.

He had no choice but to lie back.

Forget it.

Something is better than nothing.

Since it was a gift, we can't expect to use it.

He had just thought of this.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

A message came through on WeChat.

The sender is Kong Sheng.

Yi Zheng immediately sat up.

He opened the voice message and held it to his ear.

"Yi Zheng, are you out yet?"

"We were able to resolve this matter so quickly thanks to Wu Jing."

"He directly used his connections in the city to help you suppress the matter."

"Keep this in mind, and thank them when you should."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng was startled.

really.

He was wondering about that just now.

Zhang Xiaoxue, that bitch.

They said someone reported them for murder, and immediately started to give them a severe dressing down.

It seems like they won't let someone go without torturing themselves to death.

But she suddenly let me out shortly after I went in.

It turns out that Wu Jing was behind it all.

You know what, that favor is quite substantial.

The second voice message immediately followed.

"There's something else. The role I promised you, Pangolin, has started filming in the 'Battle of Jiangnan' series."

"I've already spoken to Director Ning."

"You can ask your assistant for a shooting schedule these next couple of days, plan your time accordingly, and travel between the two sets."

"Don't feel burdened. This kind of situation is very common in Hengcheng. Just make sure you don't find it tiring."

"However, this character doesn't have many scenes; he's a supporting character, and he dies after only two episodes."

"Don't mind it."

"The script was kept secret beforehand, so I didn't know my specific role."

"I've sent you the contact information. Add it yourself and try it tomorrow if you have time."

The audio has finished playing.

Another business card was pushed to me below.

Yi Zheng's eyes lit up immediately.

pangolin!

Eighth Route Army!

The Eighth Route Army he longed for!

Although he was just a supporting character.

And he dies within two episodes.

But they were real Eighth Route Army soldiers!

Yi was sitting in her seat when her previously gloomy mood was instantly dispelled.

He quickly typed.

"Thank you, Director Kong!"

"Please also thank Teacher Wu for me!"

"I'll remember this favor!"

After sending.

He stared at the contact for two seconds, then tapped the "add friend" button.

I also wrote the remarks honestly.

"Director Kong introduced Yi Zheng."

After the message was sent.

He slowly exhaled.

The night view outside the window flashed by.

Hengcheng, this small film and television town, is still bustling until midnight.

There were still film crews wrapping up work by the roadside.

The extras were squatting in twos and threes at the entrance of the convenience store, eating instant noodles.

Yi Zheng recalled that he often stayed up all night filming before, and then thought of the role of "Pangolin".

He decided not to sleep tonight.

He stayed up all night studying the role of the Eighth Route Army.

Once Director Ning approves his friend request, he'll go audition as soon as possible.

This is the cable that Kong Sheng set up for him.

If he messes up his performance.

It's not just one person who loses face.

Moreover, once this performance is over, the system can be truly activated!

"Don't smash it."

Yi Zheng said in a low voice.

The driver didn't hear clearly.

"Teacher Yi, what did you say?"

"fine."

Yi waved his hand.

"I'm just muttering to myself."

After returning to the hotel.

It's very late.

But Yi Zheng wasn't sleepy at all.

After all, all the skills he has acquired so far are from the Japanese side.

They had absolutely no connection with the Eighth Route Army.

Even the newly acquired skills are useless.

He simply couldn't fathom how the Eighth Route Army and chicken soup could possibly have anything to do with each other!

But what if you can't use any of your skills?

This means that when you go to audition, you have to rely entirely on your own personal abilities!

I know my own limitations when it comes to acting skills.

Let alone playing a character with a code name like "Pangolin".

Even if he were to play a minor role as an Eighth Route Army soldier right now.

Without the system's support, how could someone who walks with a limp possibly get the chance to play such a role in Hengdian, a place teeming with actors?

No, I need to study this properly.

"That kind of person..."

"How exactly should we act to make it seem real?"
