Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao Yi had known for a long time that the entertainment company was very knowledgeable about players and the game system, but this time their behavior was completely different.

The points in the game's system shop are fixed according to the value of the items. Generally, even if a gold item is used as collateral in the shop, it will only be worth tens of thousands of points. Therefore, if players have good items, they usually choose and exchange them with each other in the Eternal Night Market instead of giving them to the system shop.

That's so dark!

However, the card given by the entertainment company can now be redeemed for 25 points in the system store, which was absolutely impossible in Zhao Yi's previous understanding of game systems.

The only explanation is that Luanjie Entertainment Co., Ltd. itself has some kind of connection with the game system!

"It seems we've discovered something extraordinary..."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

He tossed the gold card to the system, and sure enough, it was redeemed for 25 points!

Zhao Yi then purchased 50 fragments of "Lunyu".

The number of missing pages has reached 372, just 120 pages away from 492!

It'll be soon!

After spending all his points, Zhao Yi stared at the artist contract, which contained all the terms and conditions in great detail.

Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised after reading it.

This time, the entertainment company changed its previous practices and actually offered quite generous terms.

The terms are very simple—

1. After signing the contract, Zhao Yi will need to continue acting in movies as an artist under Feng Nan.

2. For each film Zhao Yi participates in, Feng Nan will personally provide him with an additional 30% bonus points.

3. If Zhao Yi encounters any other troubles in the chaotic world, he will use the company's resources as appropriate to help resolve them.

The text is lengthy and complex, but the three key conditions are outlined above.

Zhao Yi picked up the phone and dialed the number left on the letter. A deep male voice answered:

"Hello, who is this?"

Zhao Yidao:

"Zhao Yi".

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with the terms of the contract, or is there something you don't understand?"

Based solely on his tone, Zhao Yi was certain that the other party was someone in a higher position.

Unperturbed and calm, his tone was as composed as a robot's.

"No, I just want to ask, originally the protagonist was the young master of the Li family, why was it suddenly changed to me?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's question, the other party remained silent for a moment before giving an answer that was hard to refuse:

"If cheating won't get me first place, why would I sign such a useless player?"

Zhao Yi smiled and signed his name on the contract.

"The Li family is one of the four great clans of the capital, with such a powerful background. Aren't you afraid of their retaliation?"

Feng Nan paused for a moment, then replied very frankly:

"I'm not afraid."

"I'm so powerful, they wouldn't dare touch me. If they were to retaliate, they'd most likely target you."

Zhao Yi:

"?"

The single question mark perfectly encapsulates Zhao Yi's true feelings at that moment.

Fengnan:

"But you don't need to worry too much."

"Because worrying is useless."

Zhao Yi was speechless:

"It's obvious you really don't know how to comfort people."

Feng Nan thought for a moment and then said:

"Of course, our company will not stand idly by."

"But in the future, members of the Li family will also appear in the company's entertainment films. If you encounter them, you need to be extra careful."

Zhao Yi twirled his pen:

"Is there anything I should be aware of?"

Feng Nan said meaningfully:

"They are human beings too."

"When a person is killed... they die."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"learn."

"Is there anything else?"

"It's alright now."

"Okay, you can ask Xu Shengzhi any questions you have later. I will arrange for him to be your personal assistant."

After hanging up the phone, the contract in Zhao Yi's hand vanished in a flash of white light.

A message appeared in his system information:

Xu Shengzhi (senior talent scout) has resigned.

Xu Shengzhi (personal assistant) has started working.

[Next film appearance: The Exorcist - The Last Man on the Road.]

[Time: 7 days later.]

"The new movie... it sounds like a crime film, but I wonder if I'll be playing a righteous or evil character?"

He closed the system messages, summoned Xu Shengzhi to the Tianwang Hotel, took out the diary that Xu Shengzhi had sent him earlier, and returned it to Xu Shengzhi.

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Shengzhi excitedly took the diary, flipped through it, and exclaimed how wonderful it was.

"Master, you're awesome."

Zhao Yi took a sip of water from the teacup on the table and asked:

How much do you know about the four major clans of the capital?

Upon hearing about the four major clans of the capital, Xu Shengzhi's anus tightened immediately:

"Holy crap... Master, where did you hear that name from?"

Zhao Yi said casually:

"Oh...it was in the last movie."

"The original lead actor was Li Chenglong, the young master of the Li family in the capital, but because his performance was not good during filming, Fengnan replaced him with a different lead actor."

Xu Shengzhi shuddered, then turned pale and said:

"It's over..."

"How did we manage to offend this guy?"

Zhao Yi crossed his legs and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"It sounds like the young master of the Li family is another纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled brat)."

Xu Shengzhi shook his head:

"What you said is not entirely correct. I need to add a few points here."

"First, Li Chenglong is indeed a playboy, but he is very strong. Half a year ago, he was probably at the peak of the half-step Great Ferocity level. Now it is hard to say whether he has advanced to the Quasi-Great Ferocity level."

"Secondly, although Li Chenglong's innate conditions are average, he still has the blood of the Li family flowing through his veins. In that environment, even a pig... the leader understands."

"Third, Li Chenglong is notoriously vengeful."

As he spoke, a look of worry appeared on his face:

"Master, did Boss Feng say anything?"

Zhao Yi smacked his lips for a sip of tea, then smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed:

He told me…

He will help me resolve some issues as appropriate.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shengzhi revealed a smile that was more like a grimace:

"You two are really... fearless enough to bump into trouble..."

Zhao Yi put down his teacup:

"Alright, things have developed to this point, and it's beyond my control for now."

"In seven days, I'll be going to star in a new movie..."

He wasn't worried.

Since Feng Nan was willing to risk offending the Li family to replace him as the protagonist, it already showed his attitude.

If the Li family openly intends to take action against him, Fengnan will certainly not stand idly by.

When the new movie was mentioned, Xu Shengzhi seemed to remember something and immediately said:

"Master, you must be careful with this movie!"

"The 'Explanation' series of movies has no strength restrictions; anyone who appears in them is bound to be quite powerful!"

"Furthermore, it's highly likely that Li Chenglong will leverage his family's influence to forcibly enter this film and plant forces on your opposing side to launch a targeted revenge against you!"

Zhao Yi shrugged, and the smile on his face sent a chill down Xu Shengzhi's spine.

"You know what, Xiao Xu..."

"When a person is killed, they die."
