Chapter 2. Hehehe~~

[Ding~ The system store is here~~]

As Ji Yu was eating his boxed lunch, a pleasant system chime sounded in his ear.

After finishing the last bite of rice soaked in sauce, he leisurely began to check the system.

Ha!

Sure enough, it was all worthless junk!

Low-level eavesdropping device, 100 exposure points.

Low-level tracker, 100 exposure points.

Low-level lockpick, 100 exposure points.

Low-level vehicle, 100 exposure points.

Low-level invisibility potion, 100 exposure points.

Low-level energy potion, 100 exposure points.

The items in the system store were sparse and useless.

The worst part? They required exchange.

He had exposure points, but who was he eavesdropping on, or what locks was he picking?

Ji Yu sighed in resignation—the system was indeed unreliable!

Might as well go home and farm!

Ji Yu tossed his lunchbox into the trash, ready to call it a day and return home to farm.

“Hey! You there, extra!”

“Who’s calling me that? First off, I’m not ‘hey,’ I’m... huh, Teacher Li!”

Ji Yu eagerly ran over and asked, “Teacher Li, you called me?”

“Yeah, here, this is for you. Thanks for polishing my shoes earlier.”

Li Xiaoran handed Ji Yu a bottle of cola.

Ice cold!

Ji Yu took it happily and smiled, “Teacher Li, you’re off work too?”

“Right, I’m heading out now. Bye!”

“Bye!”

Ji Yu sipped his cold soda, watching Li Xiaoran’s graceful figure walk away.

The entertainment industry sure had a lot of beauties!

Maybe I should be a paparazzo in the entertainment world.

Sneak into female stars’ homes, eavesdrop on their secrets, then...

Heheh, great plan!

Who says actors need to have acting skills?

Ji Yu was the first to disagree!

As the old saying goes, as long as you’re willing to farm, nothing in the world is difficult!

Ji Yu drank his soda and strolled home.

His home was in a cramped, dark, damp alley in the Magic City, with creaky stairs that groaned underfoot.

But no matter what, he was still a resident of Shanghai.

Shanghai, here I come!

Ji Yu lived alone; his father had passed away, and his mother had long left with someone else.

He had been used to being alone all these years.

Lying on his bed, Ji Yu pondered how to make good use of his skills.

Most of the skills he had were useless, only disguise and combat were somewhat practical.

Use disguise as acting, and combat to improve fight scenes.

But now, martial artists stuck together in groups, so ordinary people rarely got stunt double gigs, and extras definitely didn’t get fight scenes.

And the system store items were useless too.

Looks like I just have to act more.

This gold finger is neither simple nor crude.

But if I level up my skills, it should become straightforward and powerful.

The disguise skill works smoothly as acting.

Who says spies have no acting skills? They thrive on being unreasonable!

Tomorrow, I’ll keep hanging around the crew.

Early the next morning, Ji Yu bit into a fried dough stick as he headed to Che Dun Film City.

“Extra leader, big brother, any roles today?”

“Who are you?”

“Heheh~~”

“Oh, it’s you. Today it’s the Mist crew again.”

“Hehehe~~”

“Don’t laugh, it makes me nervous.”

The extra leader instinctively clutched his backside.

Ji Yu scratched his head and acted innocent.

[Ding~ New mission~~]

[Disguise yourself as a doctor to investigate Director Li accepting bribes from patients!]

[Mission reward: First aid skill shard *1, exposure points *10]

This skill is useful; the more skills, the better. Maybe it’ll come in handy later.

But Ji Yu noticed a pattern from doing many missions.

The identity of the disguise affects the rewards received.

The versatility of a spy shines here!

There’s nothing a spy can’t disguise as!

Spies exist in every profession, some just rarer than others.

At the hospital, Ji Yu put on a white coat and instantly blended into the environment.

He was indistinguishable from a real doctor.

Ji Yu casually wandered behind the lead actor Lu Yi; his presence was low enough not to be noticed.

Mainly, lingering in front of the camera a few times would increase his exposure points.

Though the system store was strange, it might still be useful!

Soon the director called “Cut,” Ji Yu completed the mission and successfully received the reward.

First aid skill covered many things: artificial respiration, CPR, rapid bleeding control...

The sensation of knowledge flowing through his cerebral cortex was exhilarating.

The only downside was it consumed a lot of energy.

Ji Yu’s stomach growled; the crew only had one boxed lunch, which wasn’t enough.

Looking at the low-level energy potion, he couldn’t resist exchanging one.

Gulp~

Sweet and refreshing.

After drinking, Ji Yu stared at the bottle a moment; it looked an awful lot like glucose!

And they had the nerve to charge 100 exposure points for this!

Today, I’m going to battle the system!

Ji Yu smacked his lips, feeling something different inside him—a warm glow like a little stove.

“Hey, fancy meeting you here again.”

Ji Yu looked up, continuing to search.

Sure enough, it was Teacher Li!

“Teacher Li, what a coincidence! You have hospital scenes today too?”

Li Xiaoran smiled, “The crew’s all hospital scenes today. Renting such a big location cost quite a bit.”

“Oh my, oh my.”

Ji Yu suddenly felt the effect of the energy potion—no wonder it was blue!

Seeing a beauty like Li Xiaoran made him a bit uneasy.

“Uh... do you have ADHD? Why are you fidgeting so much?”

“Excited, sorry about that.”

Ji Yu said and then tugged at his shirt and ran off.

Li Xiaoran muttered, “He’s actually quite polite.”

A minute later, Ji Yu came out of the restroom stall, pants held up.

Unfortunately, Teacher Li was no longer around.

Otherwise, he could have chatted a bit more and maybe found out where she lived.

At night, he could disguise himself and follow her... Ever since gaining these skills, he always wanted to get into some mischief.

Oh well, time to get to work!

Ji Yu spent the whole day doing nothing but wandering in front of the camera.

Although the same extra role repeated many times and his skills barely refreshed, his exposure points soared!

He had already reached 800 exposure points.

Still, it was useless.

What could system items be used for?

Such a headache.

At the end of the day, Ji Yu exchanged for a low-level eavesdropping device.

Might as well try it out.

The device was small, about the size of a USB drive.

It looked quite advanced; he didn’t understand why the system classified it as low-level.

But who should he eavesdrop on?

Suddenly, Ji Yu spotted the Mist lead actor Zhou Xun walking and chatting cheerfully with Chen Kun toward the parking lot.

He disguised himself as a passerby and followed them.

When they opened the car doors, he dropped the eavesdropping device under the driver’s seat.

Mainly to see if it worked.

If he overheard any entertainment industry gossip, he could sell it to paparazzi for some spending money.

Zhou Xun and Chen Kun had a great relationship.

But they had just met; maybe Zhou Xun was trying to cozy up to the handsome guy.

If he could catch some juicy gossip, that would be nice.

After dropping the device, it activated.

Immediately, a system prompt sounded in Ji Yu’s ear.

[Do you want to start eavesdropping now? Please select your target. Current target *1]

Whispering...

After activating the device, Ji Yu heard the conversation inside the car.

Zhou: “Kun, let’s go eat some local cuisine tonight.”

Chen: “Can’t tonight, the boss is coming over. I have to go.”

Zhou: “Why didn’t they tell me they were coming?”

Chen: “Probably wanted to speak with me alone... probably just drinking and singing.”

Zhou: “Be careful, call me if anything comes up.”

Hearing this, Ji Yu stroked his chin, feeling like he’d glimpsed the iceberg beneath the entertainment industry.

Drinking and singing with the female boss?

Can I come too?!
