In America, the Best Actor award starts with stereotypes.

A cool breeze was blowing along the Los Angeles River at dusk.

Many people stroll here, confident and relaxed, enjoying life in the golden age of the United States.

The once quiet benches along the river have now become gathering places for people.

A white-collar worker at a financial company is staring intently at the right hand of a young Asian man, holding his breath.

On his long, clean right hand, he was currently turning the classic Rubik's Cube.

With a flick of the fingertips, the color blocks shifted rapidly, the six colors of red, blue, yellow, white, green, and orange almost becoming a blur.

Even if it occasionally gets stuck, it's because the Rubik's Cube itself is dry.

The young man gently touched it, and it opened again.

In less than 20 seconds, the Rubik's Cube clicked back into place, with all six sides aligned.

"My God, this is unbelievable! It's practically magic!"

Before the white-collar worker could even express his surprise, a middle-aged man spoke up first.

The white-collar worker didn't mind being interrupted and sincerely exclaimed, "Yes, I also played with Rubik's Cube more than ten years ago, but only a few people around me could solve it. This is the first time I've seen someone solve it so smoothly and quickly."

"This is true art!"

An uncle with a white beard wiped the corner of his eye. He had brought his easel and paintbrush and originally came to the river to sketch, but at this moment he had a new inspiration.

……

Seeing the prompts popping up on his retina, Chen Zhuo casually tossed the Rubik's Cube around and then scrambled it.

"Magic? No, it's actually science. You can do it too, and it's very easy."

Chen Zhuo's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a magical power that instantly silenced the chaotic crowd of onlookers.

He smiled, pleased with the people's reaction.

After quitting his evening job, which was no different from being a male escort, he started thinking of new ways to boost his online presence.

After a moment's thought, he found the answer in the pile of junk.

In the 1980s, there was a Rubik's Cube craze in the United States. Although it has now declined, it remains a source of regret for many.

The Rubik's Cube enthusiasts of yesteryear have become middle-aged men, but the only thing that remains unchanged is their memory of how they struggled to solve this six-sided toy when they were children.

Now, someone suddenly tells them that they can recover quickly and it's not difficult at all. Who wouldn't be interested?

"Then why are you teaching us?"

Without hesitation, Chen Zhuo said, "Because I want to revive the Rubik's Cube sport. I heard that a Rubik's Cube speedcubing competition was held a long time ago, but it hasn't been held for a long time now. I want to teach people how to quickly solve the Rubik's Cube so that more people can pick up the Rubik's Cube and be willing to participate in this speedcubing competition, and restore the glory of the Rubik's Cube."

Then I will be able to become the revivalist of Rubik's Cube, steadily and continuously shattering stereotypes.

There is no more CFOP; from now on, there will only be my more complete and scientific Chen's solution!

Chen Zhuo thought to himself.

He then stood up, his face solemn, one hand on his chest and the other holding a Rubik's Cube, like a preaching priest.

"Now I will teach you the method, and I hope you can pass it on. If you know how to use the Internet, spread it online; if you have family and friends, teach them; even if you are alone, you can do what I did and find a crowded place to teach strangers."

"I believe that as long as everyone who learns this method of quickly solving the Rubik's Cube can pass it on, it won't be long before it becomes popular all over the world again!"

"Clap clap clap..."

It's unclear who started clapping first, but soon the applause echoed along the riverbank.

Including a young woman by the river.

[Stereotype +20]

Ok?

Chen Zhuo subconsciously looked over.

With the help of the entry 【Careful Calculation (White): You can stretch every penny in half, your calculation ability is enhanced, and you can notice some easily overlooked details.】, he saw through the disguise and recognized the person's identity.

Alicia Silverstone.

She wore black-rimmed glasses and a somewhat worn trench coat, and she looked noticeably thinner than the "Fat Lycia" that everyone hated a few months ago.

But his whole being exuded an undeniable sense of embarrassment and sorrow.

Just a few months ago, she was America's sweetheart at the height of her fame, a fashion icon for countless young girls, and Hollywood's next "Julia Roberts".

But at this moment, she had already lost everything.

It's simply because capital needs a scapegoat, and she is the cheapest one.

As a result, Batgirl, a supporting character who gained a little weight under pressure, became the scapegoat for "Batman & Robin," a movie hailed as the worst film ever made on screen.

Chen Zhuo sighed inwardly. This is Hollywood.

You never know what ridiculous reason might cause you to fall from grace.

Alicia stared blankly at the Rubik's Cube in Chen Zhuo's hand.

For an actress who rose to fame at a young age, having fun is a luxury.

Among her few happy memories, there happens to be a Rubik's Cube.

In my most disheartening moment, I saw my childhood friends whom I once loved.

Perhaps this is fate.

I might as well learn it to kill some time, since I have nothing else to do anyway.

"Oh."

A very soft, helpless laugh came from the mouth of this American sweetheart who was already completely washed up at the young age of 21.

That was self-deprecating laughter.

Just as she was about to get closer to learn how to solve the Rubik's Cube quickly...

The handsome man who was explaining suddenly frowned at her.

?

"Watch out, there's a thief!"

Alicia turned her head and saw a black child smiling at her.

Her handbag had been cut open with a razor blade, and the child was holding her wallet.

Alicia froze, and out of fear, she took a step back.

By the time she came to her senses, the Black child had already run five or six steps away.

Sure enough, all the bad luck in the world seems to find me.

Alicia lowered her eyes, her shoulders trembling slightly.

The media's malicious mockery, friends' deliberate distancing, and relatives' scolding and blame... the upsetting things she thought she had let go of have become vivid in her mind again.

Without much buildup, an adult's breakdown often happens in an instant.

"Don't run!"

A powerful shout rang out beside her.

A figure swept past her and quickly chased after the Black child.

She raised her head and looked at that resolute figure leaving without looking back.

Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out.

So there are still people in this world willing to help me...

On the riverbank, hearing the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, the panting thief couldn't help but turn around for a glance.

That glance revealed a handsome face with a rosy complexion, not even out of breath.

The thief's lips twitched.

Where did this beast come from! I'm exhausted, and he's acting like he's just warming up?

The next second, Chen Zhuo grabbed the thief's shoulder, pulled him hard, and the thief fell face-first into the mud, being subdued and pinned to the ground.

Chen Zhuo glanced at the thief indifferently.

You've picked the wrong opponent, kid.

I have a prestigious stamina attribute: [Stamina Monster (White): You rarely feel tired, and your stamina is significantly improved.] If you want to compete with me in stamina, you'd better be at least an amateur athlete.
