After Exhausting Myself to Death

Chapter 168: Jianghu Night Rain Ten Years of Lights (1)

"Minghuan, your career has just begun, why do you want to quit?"

"Shen Minghuan! You said acting is your dream!"

The morning sun was locked outside the curtains, and a few golden rays squeezed in from the gap with difficulty, but this little light was useless, and the room was still dark and quiet.

Shen Minghuan finished reading the original owner's memory in his dream.

This conversation happened eight years ago. That year, the original owner was a senior and was about to graduate from college. He took the first play in his life, playing a proud and indifferent business upstart. This play was a big production, and the original owner had a lot of roles and his performance was also remarkable.

He already had considerable popularity, and became a hit after the broadcast.

In theory, as a newcomer who had just debuted and was about to officially enter the entertainment industry, this start was extremely good, and he could fully foresee a bright future in the future.

However, the original owner suddenly announced his retirement for no reason at this time, causing an uproar.

In fact, the original owner's reason is simpler than everyone guessed.

Being popular in the entertainment industry means a higher degree of discussion. The original owner has a large number of fans, and naturally also has a group of black fans.

This is normal. After all, no matter how good the popularity is, there will be professional water army bought by people with malicious intent. Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, the number of black fans of the original owner at that time was already small, and the overall public opinion was also positive, which was not a big problem.

But the original owner didn't think so.

How do you think he got a big production in his first play? How can he play the upstart in the business world so well? Because he is really a rich second generation!

Or he was trained according to the standard of an heir, and he has been in contact with the company since he was a child.

The young master of a wealthy family has some talent. He has been smooth sailing since he was a child. Everyone praises him, pampers him and follows him. The small setbacks that ordinary people take for granted are the blows he has never experienced in his life.

Escape is shameful, but useful. The original owner did not need to work hard for a living, and the so-called dream could not withstand the destruction of reality, so naturally there was no reason for him to stay in the entertainment industry and suffer grievances.

But he probably felt that this reason was a bit hypocritical, so he kept silent about the reason for his withdrawal.

If there is no truth in the entertainment industry, there will be rumors.

During his college years, the original owner participated in a reality show called "Extraordinary Life" for four consecutive years. It was this show that accumulated the first batch of die-hard fans for him. The show and he had a total of six resident guests, all of whom were college students of similar age. The relationship between them was once called "beautiful friendship" by fans.

At that time, there were rumors that the reason why Shen Minghuan withdrew from the circle was because he was isolated, excluded, suppressed, and bullied by the other five people, and thus suffered from mental illness.

With a few videos that were cut off, this statement became popular.

The pity of the public and the heartache of fans made Shen Minghuan, who had already retired, even more famous. Out of vanity, the original owner never came forward to clarify.

This almost tacit attitude almost confirmed the rumor. The original owner certainly benefited from it, but the other five people were also in the early stages of their careers and suddenly suffered overwhelming cyberbullying, which could be said to have ruined their future.

The original owner felt uncomfortable when he saw the scolding against him, and he didn't know how he could bear to ignore it all.

Seeing those five people being cursed with extremely vicious words, being abused with insulting words, and being boycotted to the point of losing opportunities... It was clear that they were really good friends at the beginning.

The original owner skipped a grade when he was a child and went to college early. He was the youngest among this group of people. They really took care of the original owner as a younger brother.

Even when they were scolded, they were still worried that the original owner had an accident and couldn't clarify it, or was tripped up by something and didn't see the news.

[Host, this is the last task. After completing this task, you can return to the Divine Realm Galaxy. ]

The system strangely found that it didn't feel reluctant at all, as if it was sure that it could still follow Shen Minghuan after the task was over.

This feeling came out of nowhere. The system was a little confused for a while and then got back to the point: [This little world is a little special. There is no specific plot, only an outline. Host, I will pass the information to you first. ]

[He was originally a rich young master. He concealed his background and entered the entertainment industry, but eventually he retired because he could not bear all kinds of chaos. ]

[The day he retired, the whole network exploded, and countless fans were collectively heartbroken. ]

[Eight years later, he returned strongly with the "Movie Emperor System", gained love points, exchanged props, rectified the chaos, and was crowned king! ]

[He is the most influential person of this era, and the world has changed because of him! ]

Shen Minghuan: "..."

You call this an outline?

Shen Minghuan felt that this paragraph had a strong sense of déjà vu. He asked in disbelief: [Xiaojiu, this protagonist is...]

[It's you, host. ] The system's voice was soft and sticky: [In this world, the person you should be loyal to and the person you should protect is yourself. ]

Shen Minghuan: [……]

The bad premonition really came true.

Shen Minghuan was furious: [Why are the characters of the protagonists in other worlds so good, but when it comes to "Shen Minghuan", it's so bad, Xiaojiu, are you targeting me! ]

The system that carefully selected this world for Shen Minghuan and thought it would be praised suddenly froze.

The system changed the subject and tried to act coquettishly: [Host, due to the deviation of the plot, you...the protagonist's golden finger is gone, but it doesn't matter, although you don't have the movie emperor system, you have the 009 system, 009 will accompany you. ]

Shen Minghuan has been to so many worlds, but this is the first time he has seen another system.

He asked with interest: [Xiaojiu, is this movie star system your colleague? ]

[No. ] System explanation: [Host, you can think of us as completely different species. The movie star system is something written by the author. Like the main and supporting characters, it is a different form of expression that exists in this small world at the same time. And I belong to the law, transcending the small world, and assisting the small world to develop and take shape. ]

Shen Minghuan was thoughtful.

Although the author did not write what the movie star system is specifically, the small world will automatically complete the relevant settings if it runs reasonably. In other words, this movie star system must have a complete source and purpose, and Shen Minghuan is very curious about this.

The phone next to the pillow made a "ding dong" sound.

Shen Minghuan reached out from the quilt and pressed the switch of the bedside lamp, and the room was bright.

He unlocked his phone and found that it was a message from the bank, reminding him that he still had an outstanding balance this month.

Shen Minghuan: ...

Even if he became the protagonist, he still had no money.

The original owner rebelled after the college entrance examination, refused the path arranged by his family, and insisted on filling in the application for an art university.

His family had high hopes for him and cut off his source of funds in order to make him bow his head. The original owner had such a strong self-esteem that of course he refused to compromise and immediately signed himself up for a program, namely "Extraordinary Life".

He did not live a luxurious life and had no hobbies that cost money. With the pocket money he had saved since childhood and the remuneration he earned from the program, he not only survived four years of college, but also lived for eight years without any income.

In fact, his family members doted on him very much. After the initial incomprehensible dispute, their attitude had softened and changed to train his younger brother Shen Mingle as the heir, allowing the original owner to pursue his dream boldly.

Shen Mingle originally wanted to be a painter, but for his brother, he gave up his art major and studied finance.

But these were undoubtedly a provocation in the eyes of the original owner, who had a strong self-esteem and a weird personality.

Look, don't you want to inherit the family business? There are many people who inherit it.

The original owner was so angry at his own imagination that he unilaterally broke up with his family, not answering calls or text messages.

Eight years after he retired from the entertainment industry, let alone going home to visit, he didn't even tell his family about his current situation.

The original owner couldn't tolerate failure and was unwilling to be inferior to others.

In this case, he couldn't go back to the entertainment industry. He didn't want his fans to know that he lived in a remote small house after retiring, so he rarely went out in the past eight years.

He couldn't go back home either. Not to mention that he couldn't bow his head, Shen Mingle had already started to learn to take over the company in the four years of college. Would he have to work under his brother when he went back?

As for finding a job? Working from nine to five? Listening to the boss's instructions? That's absolutely impossible.

The original owner was actually quite smart. He didn't want anyone to find him, and there was really no news on the Internet for eight years.

When he planned to retire from the entertainment industry, he found someone to secretly buy this house without using his own identity information, and even the original owner of the house didn't know it was him.

After all, although he has several properties under his name, they were all bought by him in the past. If he moved in, the Shen family would know about it on the same day.

I don't know what kind of mentality he had, but he didn't leave the city.

But no matter how remote the location is, it is still in Kyoto. The house cost more than half of his money, plus eight years of drunkenness and debauchery, and now there is not much left.

Shen Minghuan finally paid off the debt by transferring the money from all the apps in his mobile phone together. Then he looked at the balance of digits and thought seriously about what way to make money quickly.

System reminder: [Host, it's time for lunch. ]

The original owner had slept past the breakfast time, and he couldn't miss lunch anymore.

Shen Minghuan was still flipping through his mobile phone, collecting background information of this world.

This world is very similar to the second world he had been in, but the difference is that China in this world is already the undisputed first power. The development of productivity has created the development and prosperity of many industries, including the entertainment industry, which naturally includes the food industry.

After he left the Galaxy, he didn't like eating. It wasn't that he didn't have a desire for food, but the taste of the food was too ordinary. After all, the Galaxy was full of spiritual energy, and even the grass was delicious.

But thinking back to the food in the original owner's memory... Shen Minghuan ordered a luxurious takeaway, and the balance of the digit was half gone.

He stared at the number for a few seconds, thinking that he still had to find a job with food and accommodation.

It would take some time for the takeaway to arrive. While waiting, Shen Minghuan took out his mobile phone and edited an email and sent it out.

You have to have the attitude of looking for a job. He also designed a resume for himself and left his contact information.

Thinking that the problem of food and clothing could be solved, Shen Minghuan asked with interest: [By the way, Xiaojiu, who has the movie emperor system now? ]

I have to find an opportunity to pull it over and study it.

The system was stunned, [Host, I don't know either. ]

Its mood suddenly became low, and it said aggrievedly: [Isn't it enough for the host to have Xiaojiu? Do you want another system? ]

Shen Minghuan: [……]
