Film and Television World Life Record

Around 9 PM, when the Double Color Ball lottery results were announced, Li Shiqing was stunned. She had actually won—two first-prize tickets! Even after taxes, she would still have ten million yuan.

If you lived in a small town, this would already be considered financial freedom.

Seeing Li Shiqing's excitement, Li Mu picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

"What are you doing? You pervert!"

"As his girlfriend, it's a good opportunity for us to celebrate."

In an instant, the room was filled with the colors of spring.

The next day, the two woke up slowly in their hotel room, and this time they had actually broken free from the cycle.

……

A month later, the two received their bonuses and spent over five million yuan to buy a large three-bedroom apartment near the school. They moved in and officially began living together.

A few months later, Li Mu came across a local news article online.

The No. 45 bus lost control and crashed, killing a pedestrian surnamed He. Li Mu looked at the accident scene video posted online.

As expected, the so-called passerby surnamed He was none other than He Yingjun.

A few days later, Li Mu saw the outcome of the incident. Since the loss of control of the bus was the cause, the bus company was responsible for the losses.

Wang Xingde was fired and his driver's license was revoked. He and his wife returned to their hometown, where they probably felt a greater sense of belonging.

Li Mu lived a quiet life, reading books, practicing calligraphy, and spending time with Li Shiqing every day. Before long, a year had passed.

It's time to go back.

Chapter 296 The Real World and Rewards

Li Mu opened his eyes. It was just past 8 PM. The trip had been rushed, and the system had only given him a 30-second countdown, which was unusual. He was caught completely off guard, but he managed to complete the mission quite well.

He took out his phone and searched for "startup" again. This time he had plenty of time and kept refreshing for a long time before finally finding a piece of information on a gossip website.

The novel is set to begin filming at the end of this year and is expected to be released to audiences at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.

Sure enough, it's a web series that hasn't aired yet.

Li Mu couldn't find an official copy of the book online, but some shopping websites showed that a physical copy had just been released.

After thinking about it, I ordered a copy. I'll read it when I have time and see how the world I experience differs from what's described in the novel.

After finishing all that, Li Mu finally had time to check the system evaluation.

System: [Congratulations on completing the mission. Return to the main world.]

[Task Performance: Excellent]

[Task rewards are being calculated.]

[System: Select two items from the following options as mission rewards.]

[I. Li Mu's acting skills]

II. System space increased threefold

【III. System space tripled】(Combine with reward two to increase system space tenfold.)

[IV. Physical Fitness Rewards] (The effects of training in the film and television world, partially projected into the real world...)

[V. Monetary Rewards] (Wealth from the film and television world, a very small portion of which can be converted into real-world currency.)

Looking at the five rewards, there wasn't much room for choice; rewards one, four, and five were all useless.

I directly selected the second and third rewards.

The system space for each reward is tripled, and if two rewards are combined, the system time is increased tenfold.

The original system space was 0.3 cubic meters, which was expanded tenfold to 3 cubic meters, which is not small.

After receiving the system reward, I was a bit bored, so I turned on my phone and watched some videos. Then my phone rang.

Li Mu glanced at the caller ID; it was still a call from home.

"Mom, why are you calling?" It's usually Li Mu who calls home.

Li's mother said, "Why can't I call? You've been out of school for over a year now, you're twenty-three this year, you'll be twenty-four after the New Year, where's your girlfriend!"

Li Mu rubbed his forehead: "Mom, don't worry! I've only graduated for a little over a year, it won't be that fast."

Li's mother said, "What do you mean by 'fast'? Look at our village, your elementary school classmates' children are old enough to run errands."

Li Mu said, "Mom, it's different. I just graduated! Besides, who gets married so early in the city?"

Li's mother wouldn't listen: "What's wrong with the city? The city and the countryside are the same."

"Haven't you heard people say that there are more boys than girls now? In the future, there will be 30 million bachelors in China who won't be able to find wives. The competition will be fierce."

"If you don't settle down right after graduation, and instead delay it for a few years, it will just ruin your life."

Li Mu said, "Mom, no, you don't trust your son. Do you think he's the kind of person who needs a girlfriend?"

Li's mother asked, "Don't you need one? Where's your girlfriend? Bring her back in a couple of days so I can meet her."

Li Mu was speechless: "We haven't started dating yet, but it would be easy if we wanted to. I'm focused on my career right now, like I told you! I'm starting a company with my classmates! I don't have time for dating."

"Once I succeed in my business and achieve financial freedom, I can find someone even better!"

Li's mother said, "After all that talk, you still don't have a girlfriend."

"Don't be too ambitious. Starting a company isn't easy. What if you lose money? While you're doing well now and your career is going well, you should start looking for one."

Li Mu was helpless. His mother was determined to make him find a girlfriend today, and it seemed she wouldn't give up until she agreed.

"Mom, I also want to find a girlfriend, but I'm too busy. I'm currently in the startup phase, working hard every day, and I don't have time to find a girlfriend."

Li's mother suddenly chuckled twice: "It's okay if you don't have time to date, you can always go on blind dates."

Li Mu: "Blind date!"

Li's mother: "Yes! A blind date."

"I forgot to tell you, I went to visit your maternal grandmother today and ran into my best friend from high school. We hadn't seen each other for a few years, and after chatting for a while, I found out that her daughter just graduated from university this year and is working in Shangdu City."

Li Mu: "Mom, what do you mean?"

Li's mother said, "My best friend and I—you should call her aunt according to seniority—I chatted with your aunt. Her daughter, Xiaoya, works and lives alone in Shangdu and doesn't have a boyfriend. It's not easy for her."

"What I mean is, you two should talk it over, and if it's a good fit, then you can consider developing a relationship."

“We know each other very well. I’ve met Xiaoya a few times. She’s quite quiet and good-looking. You won’t be shortchanged.”

Li Mu patted his forehead: "Mom, what era are we living in? We young people don't go on blind dates like this anymore."

Li's mother said, "What's wrong with blind dates? I think blind dates are much more reliable than dating."

"Look at the young people these days, how many of them have been in relationships, and how many of them actually end up getting married?"

"Look at those blind dates. As long as two people are satisfied and start dating, it's a done deal. Most of them will get married."

"If you want to get married, blind dates are more reliable than dating."

Li Mu didn't know how to refute this, so he asked in return, "Mom, young people these days are all averse to blind dates. What about Xiaoya? Would she agree to a blind date?"

Li's mother said, "Don't worry about that, your aunt and I will take care of it. Here, I'll give you Xiaoya's phone number, you can contact her yourself."

"Your aunt will talk to Xiaoya. You two should take some time these next couple of days to have a meal together and have a good talk. Maybe that will work out."

"Son, it's rare for Mom to find you such a good one, so you must cherish it."

"Okay! Got it." After hanging up the phone, Li Mu was a little dumbfounded.

He had already decided not to date, and given his circumstances, it wasn't really suitable for him to have a girlfriend who was too close to him. He didn't expect to be pressured to get married, which was a bit frustrating.

But his mother meant well; she was only thinking of him. If Li Mu had lived his life as usual and hadn't encountered such a fantastical event, perhaps he would have been full of anticipation for this blind date.

Let's see what Jiang Xiaoya looks like, even her mother is satisfied with her.

Unfortunately, with more experience, his perspective has broadened.

What was his goddess a year ago is now just a pretty female classmate.

Thinking of these things, Li Mu shook his head slightly, shaking those complicated thoughts out of his mind.

Regardless, since I've already agreed, whether out of politeness or to give my mother an explanation, I must make a phone call. If she agrees to meet, I shouldn't refuse; we can just have a meal together.

In any case, it's at least an explanation, and it's something that can be dealt with on both sides.

Chapter 297 Blind Date

The following morning, Li Mu received news that his low-density, large-sized apartment in Beilonghu had finally been renovated.

Li Mu took some time to drive over and take a look. As expected of a professional interior design company, the effect was amazing.

The designer led him on a tour of the room, introducing everything, and then Li Mu began to explore on his own.

The biggest advantage of a large, single-level apartment is its spaciousness and better living experience.

The 280-square-meter space originally had four bedrooms and three living rooms, but Li Mu renovated it and now only has one bedroom, the master bedroom, making it a small suite.
