Chapter 169 The Most Abstract Task

What is petrification?

At this moment, Meng Bai vividly portrayed a state of "petrification".

He sat on the stone bench in the River Drum Cave for a full five minutes without moving.

Sitting opposite him, Yu Xuanchen and Su Xintang exchanged countless glances. They wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin, so they could only sit and stare blankly at Meng Bai.

The reason for Meng Baishi's petrification is quite simple.

That's the unlocking quest for the "green dot" on Yu Xuanchen's body, it's just too outrageous!

Three days.

Meng Bai spent three days filming videos for Yu Xuanchen and spending money on promotion, quickly helping Yu Xuanchen gather 50,000 followers and unlock all the white points.

Then, he began to study the first green dot on Yu Xuanchen's body with great anticipation.

The condition for unlocking the green point is very simple: complete a real-life performance of a fixed script plot in He Gu, which is equivalent to acting out a play in real life. That's the only way Meng Bai can understand it.

Acting.

No problem.

However, this fixed scenario cannot be seen on Earth; it can only be triggered by coming to River Drum.

So, Meng Bai brought Yu Xuanchen back with him.

After returning, a progress bar immediately appeared on the green dot.

While waiting for the progress bar to finish, Meng Bai, Su Xintang, and Yu Xuanchen were guessing what the script was.

Guess and guess.

The three agreed that the first script must be related to snakes.

It might just be the Legend of the White Snake, which Yu Xuanchen is most familiar with.

Meng Bai even speculated that it might be related to "Calabash Brothers".
After all, the story of "Calabash Brothers" also features a snake spirit, and the story is much simpler.

The Legend of the White Snake is too long in scale, mainly because it takes too long. The first task couldn't possibly take that long, could it?
To my utter surprise, it wasn't "The Legend of the White Snake" or "Calabash Brothers".

"Damn it, why is it 'Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry'?" Meng Bai, who had been frozen in shock for a long time, began to question his life.

That's right!

The first script mission that Yu Xuanchen triggered in He Gu was his mother's "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry".

"What is 'Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry'?" Yu Xuanchen asked, puzzled.

"A masterpiece with a rating as high as 2.1; a classic blockbuster movie that everyone on the Chinese internet knows!"

"That's great! Since it's a masterpiece, why are you making that face?" Su Xintang was also a little puzzled.

"Can't you tell I'm being sarcastic?" Meng Bai looked at her speechlessly.

Seeing this, Su Xintang floated to the stone table, stretched out her short hand, and poured Meng Bai a cup of tea.

He then laughed and said, "Whether it's good or bad, what does it matter? We're not asked to sell tickets; it's just a performance in real life."

"But why is it 'Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry'? It has absolutely nothing to do with Ah Chen." Meng Bai was still questioning his life.

"Think about it, since Ah Chen debuted in He Gu as a film and television professional, it makes perfect sense that his first mission is called 'Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry'."

This shows that different perspectives on a problem will lead to different answers.

Just like Meng Bai, whose mind was filled with scenes from "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry," he couldn't connect the movie with Yu Xuanchen.

But Su Xintang hadn't seen the movie, so she focused all her attention on the name.

"Brother, what story does 'Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry' tell?" Yu Xuanchen asked curiously.

"..." Meng Bai was indeed stumped by the question.

To be honest, he had watched the original film of "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Circle" because of its reputation, and it was simply torture.

After thinking it over carefully, Meng Bai said, "It's about a film school teacher and his group of students, it's just... never mind, you'll know when you go back to Earth and watch the original film yourselves."

"So, who should I play?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be playing that teacher, but we don't know the specifics yet. This mission will be completed in the mortal realm, meaning the detailed script and announcement won't be issued until after we descend to the mortal world."

Even so, Meng Bai racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how to act this out.

The Legend of the White Snake makes it very clear that all you need to do is find someone to repay your kindness.

The story of "Calabash Brothers" is simple: just capture an old man and have his seven grandsons seek revenge.

"Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry," this...

"And what about the reward? What is the reward?" Su Xintang asked curiously.

“A fee to improve my cultivation level, and an unknown reward,” Meng Bai replied.

"Can it really improve one's cultivation level?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanchen's eyes lit up instantly.

As a demon, her minor realm divisions before becoming a god naturally differed from those of humans. According to her own memories, the Jade Serpent had to undergo initial molting, second molting, and third molting before entering its adult form. Here, adult form refers to a realm, not age.

Only after reaching adulthood can one choose to cultivate either the path of gods or the path of demon immortals.

In other words, the adult form is similar to the divine embryo of the human race.

However, divine beasts possess innate talents, and adult divine beasts are generally a level stronger than human divine embryos. For example, the adult stag beetle near Su Xintang's fiefdom is no less powerful than a first-level spirit god.

Yu Xuanchen doesn't have the cultivation techniques of the Jade Serpent, so she can't undergo a transformation. If things continue like this, she will remain a child for the rest of her life if nothing changes.

Therefore, she dreams of improving her cultivation level.

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang concluded, "So, our most urgent task right now is still to obtain the descent order. Only then can Achen complete her mission?"

"Correct."

"Is there a channel for obtaining the 'Descending to Earth' mission?"

"Yes, I contacted Huo Wenxi, and she recommended a spot for us to participate in the program."

"What program?"

"The new season of 'Supernova Games' is about organizing a group of young male and female celebrities to compete in various sports events."

"It's both a reality show and a sports competition, and there are quite a few viewers. We just need to get into the top seven in one of the events," Meng Bai explained with a smile.

"There are programs like this? Wouldn't that perfectly suit our mission requirements?" Su Xintang asked incredulously.

"This show has been recorded for many seasons, it wasn't prepared for us, so don't be surprised." Meng Bai could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

After saying that, he added, "Huo Wenxi hopes I can participate as well. I've thought about it, and I think it's good to participate. It will help keep our popularity going. I plan to have Achen look like you and go with me to participate."

"Doesn't she need to go to school?"

"It's okay to go to class after I'm done with all this. It won't make a difference if I take a month or two." Meng Bai shook his head.

Su Xintang nodded, then looked at Yu Xuanchen and asked, "Can your magic power withstand it?"

"If I can't hold on any longer, I'll just have my brother take me back to He Gu to replenish my magic power. Anyway, if we both come back, the timeline on Earth will be frozen, so it won't cause any problems." Yu Xuanchen said with a silly grin.

Seeing this, Meng Bai picked up his teacup and took a sip.

He can be said to have no shortage of time travel opportunities now.

He previously had eight points, and now Yu Xuanchen has added four more, meaning he now has twelve points. With a half-month cooldown period, he can basically make a round trip every day.

Speaking of this, Meng Bai was somewhat disappointed with Yu Xuanchen's basic skills.

Besides [Storage], the next two skills are [Voice] and [Acting], which he thought would be something new.

Not only are there no new ones, but Yu Xuanchen even has two fewer skills than Su Xintang.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that having an extra life was more useful than any skill.

In addition, after Yu Xuanchen acquired the skill, Meng Bai's corresponding skill also leveled up.

The original 20 cubic meters of storage space has now been increased to 200 cubic meters, a tenfold increase;
The voice chat feature has also evolved into a channel that allows teams of up to 10 people to communicate.

[Acting skills] have also been upgraded, with less energy consumption and stronger deductive abilities.

After chatting for a while, Meng Bai then asked about the situation in He Gu. The emergence of new ley lines in Mao Kingdom seemed to have a significant impact.

Su Xintang said, "I heard that the consciousness of all the righteous gods has descended to the mortal realm and merged into the Great Dharma Body. I also heard that every time a new ley line grows, several righteous gods will perish."

"why is that?"

"Most of the talisman gods who can participate in the competition for the earth veins are backed by righteous gods. If they fail to win the land veins of Mao Kingdom this time, they may become desperate and try to grab more positions to share, and may even join forces with other righteous gods to attack them."

"That makes sense," Meng Bai nodded.

"So, I heard from my master that at this time, the righteous gods will basically choose to descend to the mortal world and go into seclusion for a long time in order to control the situation and prevent it from escalating to the level of the righteous gods."

"Lu Dai has also descended to the mortal realm for seclusion?"

"Probably, I don't know the specifics, but the Lu family has changed goddesses."

"Lu Xiqing quit?"

"Yes, they replaced her with someone named Lu Zihui, who is Lu Xiqing's niece, but she is much older than Lu Xiqing."

Meng Bai nodded thoughtfully, then said, "It's none of our business. Let's just keep doing our own thing."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Meng Bai took Yu Xuanchen back to Earth.

After returning, he didn't sit idle; he kept giving Yu Xuanchen a crash course in Earth's common knowledge.

At the same time, I also watched the previous seasons of "Supernova Games" with her and that masterpiece "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" so that she would have some basic understanding of these two shows.

Time passed day by day.

In mid-October, Meng Bai finally received a call from Huo Wenxi, informing him that the recording of "Supernova Games" was about to begin.
