Chapter 12
"Detected completion of all tasks. About to exit the world," a familiar emotionless voice sounded.
Lin Jiangyan felt the world suddenly quiet down, coming to a halt. All objects became fixed in place, losing their colors and shapes. It was as if life was slowly fading away.
In reality, just as she had suspected, everything was fake. All the people were merely NPCs designed to help her complete her tasks.
But she didn't feel relieved.
She had the constant feeling that Jiang Zhi's embrace was too scorching, to the point where she had an illusion of still being held.
Lin Jiangyan stood there in a daze and was transported to the second world.
[Your task: Play the role of a malicious supporting character in a viral internet celebrity romance.]
[You are an ordinary small internet celebrity who, in order to gain fans and attention, enters into a fake relationship with a big shot on the platform.
You want to generate traffic and attention by hyping up your relationship, but you are unaware that the big shot is only toying with you and has no interest in such things. Once he's had enough, he will break up with you. Many fans will turn against you, causing you to lose your popularity. Every day, you'll be anxious, while helplessly watching your best friend, who is inferior to you in every aspect, become a big star in the entertainment industry.]
The system emphasized, "All characters in this world are within normal parameters." Implicitly, it meant that the situation from last time—where both the female lead and the male supporting character pursued a malicious supporting character—would not occur.
As Lin Jiangyan regained her consciousness, she found herself facing the camera for a livestream.
She had never done a livestream before and didn't know how, but she remained calm and expressionless as she ran her fingers through her hair.
During the short time she had been in this world, the original owner's body hadn't moved at all.
The comments section was filled with questions: ["What happened to Yan Yan?"] ["Was Yan Yan just sleeping?"] ["Take care of yourself, beautiful!"] ["Even when my wife is sleeping, she looks so beautiful."]
Lin Jiangyan stared at the screen for a few minutes, barely grasping the fact that the plot hadn't started yet. She didn't have the mood to fake a smile and casually replied, "I haven't been feeling well lately, didn't get enough sleep."
The comment section exploded.
Lin Jiangyan used to be extremely friendly toward her fans, always speaking to them in a gentle and considerate manner. She almost always accommodated their requests, although it was certainly a strategy to retain fans according to the system's evaluation.
This sudden change was like the gentle and beautiful woman from before suddenly becoming aloof, like a scumbag who didn't care as long as she retained them.
However, some fans fell for this act.
["Sis, your aloofness is hitting me right in the heart."] ["Oh my god, that's exactly the feeling!"] ["I love you so much, even if you don't love me!"]
Lin Jiangyan stared blankly at the screen, feeling a bit dumbfounded by the nonsensical chatter. She took out a makeup mirror and examined her appearance in this world.
Unlike the previous world where she was young and innocent, in this world, she had a height of 1.7 meters, with long and slim legs.
In the mirror, she had an obvious heavy makeup look. She had large, elongated fox-like eyes, a slender nose, rosy thin lips, a somewhat cold and elegant appearance, and her brows and eyes were somewhat similar to her original self.
Having grown accustomed to the appearance of the river's eaves, Jiangyan fell in love at first sight with this type of beauty. She looked at herself in the mirror, sometimes cold and indifferent, sometimes smiling, until two dimples appeared on her face.
["I guarantee this woman has forgotten about us."]
["Jiangyan, did you just realize how beautiful you are?"]
["Darling, do you remember the livestream?"]
["Jiangyan: A mere livestream is not as important as my stunning beauty in this flourishing era!"]
However, Jiangyan's attention was suddenly drawn to a PK (player versus player) request that popped up. She put down the mirror and clicked "Agree" with her mouse.
On the other side was a clean and handsome young boy with innocent puppy dog eyes. He greeted her as they met, saying, "Hello, Miss."
Jiangyan nodded and looked at his screen name, Shen Annian. She nodded and replied, "Hello."
["Am I the only one who finds the scene a bit strange?"]
["Why isn't Jiangyan speaking much?"]
["It feels like an awkward blind date."]
["The previous sisters' description was spot-on."]
While Lin Jiangyan's side was calm and quiet, they chatted with bullet comments for a while, then turned their attention to causing trouble in the neighboring live stream.
"Shen, do you know how enthusiastic Jiangyan used to be?"
"Did you do something to upset her?"
"Lin Jiangyan's temperament is indeed quite good."
Shen Annian looked at Lin Jiangyan, who remained silent, and doubted for two seconds. He tentatively called out, "...Sis?"
After receiving a system reminder, Jiangyan reluctantly assumed her role and cooperated with him, saying, "What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
Relieved by the response, Shen Annian seized the opportunity and said, "Sis, it's my first time doing a PK in the game, and I'm not very good at it."
Jiangyan: ...
Neither am I.
Jiangyan looked at the bunch of fans who were spectating. She casually tapped the screen with her slender fingers and said, "You guys go and teach him."
The fans were more than happy to do this. They excitedly rushed into Shen Annian's live stream.
A large group of fans suddenly poured in, startling Shen Annian. A bunch of middle-aged women loved teasing children the most, and their laughter made the young streamer blush.
Someone went to inform Jiangyan:
["Darling, they said if he loses the PK, he has to do a striptease."]
["Jiangyan, we'll show you an innocent boy's first dance."]
["For some reason, I feel proud. Let's show Jiangyan some late-night benefits."]
["This kid is new here, so we can bully him~"]
"Shameless." Jiangyan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was flat, like saying "The weather is nice today."
The fans wailed in response.
["I'm stunned."]
["In my lifetime, I've been scolded by Jiangyan."]
["In my lifetime, I've witnessed Jiangyan scolding someone."]
["Hehehe, Mom, I've made it."]
Jiangyan just glanced at her own page. She was just a small internet celebrity with only a hundred thousand fans, relying solely on entertainment and looks, with no reliable fan-attracting talent.
But this group of fans was still quite interesting.
After a while, Shen Annian came over to test the waters. "Sis, what's the punishment for losing?"
He felt that Lin Jiangyan was the kind of person who seemed cold on the outside but passionate on the inside, perhaps easy to talk to.
However, Lin Jiangyan responded, "Dance."
Seeing Shen Annian's shocked expression, she added casually, "They want to see it."
["Oh my! Jiangyan sis has become tough."]
["Ah ah ah, she's so good at spoiling."]
["Hehehe, I thought we'd have to ask the other side how they want to punish Jiangyan sis for her temper."]
["Wasn't it always like that before?"]
Both sides muted their mics, and Shen Annian struggled for over ten minutes. However, he was still somewhat inexperienced compared to Lin Jiangyan, who had a certain foundation.
The PK quickly ended, and Shen Annian stuttered, "Sis, what dance are we doing?"
Ignoring the screen filled with "Please strip," she thought for a moment and suddenly became interested, "Invincible Cutie! Can you do this?"
"Huh?" Shen Annian was confused; it didn't sound right at all. "I don't know, sis."
["Cute little puppy being all clingy online."]
["Does anyone know what dance Invincible Cutie is? Is it a new version of Little Wildcat?"]
["Oh my, it can't be the Invincible Cutie I know, can it?"]
