Chapter 1251: Chapter 567: Dark Faith, The Game Begins!

Zhao Qing sat in Starbucks, sipping on coffee out of boredom. On the table beside her, there were two shopping bags.

She had finished her shopping, but because she hoped to coincidentally bump into Lin Baici, or perhaps even arrange dinner with him to enhance their friendship, she waited here.

"I feel so cheap doing this!"

Zhao Qing muttered to herself feeling somewhat unhappy. She looked down at her phone: "Forget it, I’ll wait another ten minutes. If I don’t see him, I’ll give up completely!"

As an adult, time always seems to fly by. After casually watching a few short Douyin videos, ten minutes had passed.

Zhao Qing picked up her shopping bags and, holding the coffee cup in one hand, left Starbucks. Just as she was about to exit the mall, a flash of white light crossed her vision, causing her to shut her eyes. When she opened them again, the mall’s entrance had disappeared, replaced by a large plaza.

The floor was paved with stone, looking worn, as if weathered by the sun and wind for a thousand years. At the center of the plaza, there was a fountain, featuring two nude statues of a man and a woman, each holding a vase.

Clear water was flowing out from the vases.

At a glance, one could tell the statues were of ancient Roman style.

The circular plaza was vast, but one couldn’t see much farther since it was surrounded by tall city walls.

"What’s going on?"

Zhao Qing rubbed her eyes vigorously, somewhat bewildered.

She was the first to have been teleported, initially panicking, but in a moment, she saw flashes of white light appear one after another, and after each disappeared, another person materialized.

...

"Momomo, Man Ni, here!"

The sycophant boy bought five cups of milk tea and handed them over to his classmates, then couldn’t resist complaining: "That Lin Baici is so full of himself. So what if he has money?"

"He’s just enjoying the privileges of his parents’ wealth. Why doesn’t he earn his own money?"

"Momomo gave him a chance, and he didn’t cherish it or show gratitude. When he runs out of money one day, he’ll realize what he’s missed."

The sycophant classmate was unhappy with Zhu Momomo; she wouldn’t act, yet you still insist. How pathetic, but he didn’t dare confront Zhu Momomo. So he could only indirectly lash out, doing his utmost to denigrate Lin Baici.

"Enough, you’ve said it many times already!"

Zhu Momomo was depressed. She wanted to make a short film, which required a good script and good actors.

The "good actors" in her mind weren’t about acting skills—ordinary people couldn’t appreciate that anyway. It was mainly about looks, as her target audience was women, so the focus was on being handsome.

Lin Baici was a perfect fit, especially his cold demeanor when rejecting her, which made Zhu Momomo even more eager to sign him.

If her videos weren’t successful, maybe someone would take an interest in Lin Baici. By having a contract with him, she could make a fortune.

"Are you still planning to find someone? If not, let’s head back!"

Su Manni glanced at the sycophant classmate.

So annoying!

If it weren’t for the fact that he spent money on her willingly, she would have deleted him from WeChat long ago.

"Let’s go home!"

Zhu Momomo came today to scout for potential short film actors among the female streamers and COSERs, since they had their own following.

The contest had just ended, and it was dispersing, so there were too many people waiting for the elevator.

"How about we take the escalator instead?"

Su Manni suggested, feeling suffocated by the crowd inside the elevator.

Before anyone could make a decision, a white light flared before their eyes.

Afterwards, they appeared in the large plaza with a Europa style.

"What is this place?"

The sycophant classmate said, shocked.

Su Manni looked astonished too, then suddenly swung her fist, hitting the sycophant classmate.

"Ah!"

The sycophant classmate yelped in pain.

"Could it be... rule pollution?"

Zhu Momomo was wide-eyed and slack-jawed. She studied in the film director’s program and was widely informed. She had heard all sorts of bizarre rumors, including urban legends about Taboo things.

"What’s that?"

The sycophant classmate didn’t know.

"If it’s true, then this is interesting!"

Zhu Momomo, who had never experienced rule pollution, did not realize how terrifying it was.

Su Manni stood on tiptoes, looking around in search of Lin Baici.

...

Backstage, in the resting room.

"Sister Fish, any plans for tonight?"

Laughing Buddha approached: "I’m organizing a gathering, how about we have some fun tonight?"

"You’re not inviting me?"

Don’t Eat Jackfruit came over with a selfie stick, and upon hearing this, immediately joked.

"Sister Fish is hard to invite!"

Laughing Buddha chuckled, thinking to himself that you know how popular you are, right?

In here, trying to compare with Sister Fish?

Laughing Buddha noticed Don’t Eat Jackfruit holding her phone, clearly streaming live. He instantly guessed her little scheme.

She was here to leech off Hua Yue Yu’s popularity.

For others, having someone with a similar style meant you’d desperately avoid being seen together to avoid being outshone and feeling sour. But Don’t Eat Jackfruit was different. Hua Yue Yu was so popular that being outperformed by her was expected. But what if someone developed a liking for her style and considered her as a substitute for Hua Yue Yu? Then she’d make a killing.

After all, Hua Yue Yu couldn’t possibly be in front of a computer 24 hours a day, could she?

And if Hua Yue Yu suddenly made a mistake, collapsed, or got banned, then wouldn’t Don’t Eat Jackfruit soar?

"Small Fish, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

Elder Zhou came over.

"No, I have an appointment tonight!"

Hua Yue Yu declined, quickly removing her makeup—she was anxious not to keep Lin Baici waiting.

"It’s not a date with a boyfriend, is it?"

Big Sweet Sister teased, remembering the young man she had seen earlier.

"Is it that handsome guy from before?"

Don’t Eat Jackfruit immediately asked, her voice not loud but loud enough to ensure her live-streaming audience could hear.
