My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

For Lin Zhen, an ordinary citizen, the skill of "street dance beginner" doesn't offer many performance opportunities, and there aren't many ways to make money. Usually, he would end up opening a street dance class. Well, it's easy to make money from kids, but it's a bit noisy. He can observe this skill first, and maybe he can open up a new way to make money.

[The children's song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"] Forget it, unless I have kids in the future, this classic children's song probably won't have much of a chance to be seen again. But, system, aren't you being a bit too frivolous? I painstakingly accumulated a thousand popularity points and you exchanged them for a children's song? I can sing it myself, okay? I also have the divine skill of never singing off-key, so no matter how I sing a children's song, it won't sound bad, okay?

The skill "[Never Cracks Your Finger]" is a bit too much. Lin Fan strongly suspects that the system is making suggestive remarks, but he can't find any evidence. It seems that he can't find any other way to use it except for playing musical instruments. Hmm, he'll have to study the system's notes about dating later.

[Intermediate Music Theory] is indeed something I urgently need, since I need to know the key points to talk about with Xia Yan, my lovely friend. Conversation topics are important; it's basic knowledge for flirting.

Focus!

[Current popularity: 90000, Task progress: 139322/1000000]

Lin Fan looked at the 9 popularity points left after the ten consecutive draws and felt a great sense of satisfaction. He had a feeling of "I have popularity points in my hand, I have the world in my hands"!

It's true that winning a prize is fun, and the more you win, the more fun it is!

"System, give me another 10 pulls!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the active skill: Piano Proficiency. Of course, the higher and more sophisticated one's aura, the better. With the 'Violin Proficiency' aura boost, you also deserve the 'Piano Proficiency' aura! After all, host, your aura is practically zero.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired 3 songs—host, it's time to release new songs, or your popularity will plummet!]

[Current popularity: 80000, Task progress: 139322/1000000]

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he saw the system's description of "Piano Proficiency" and "3 Songs"!

We've struck it rich!

The performance fee for piano is much higher than that for violin! From now on, anyone who wants to hire me to perform will have to pay extra! Double!

Not to mention these three songs!

It's so satisfying to keep drawing cards! I'm taking advantage of the system right in front of it, and even the system can't do anything about it!

Lin Fan, full of confidence, exclaimed, "System, give me another 10 draws!"

system:"……"

It seemed that the system hadn't expected Lin Fan to want to keep draining all 100,000 popularity points, but the system's mechanism wouldn't allow it to refuse the host's request, so after crashing for a few seconds again, the system gave out a new reward.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired 10 songs—that's all!]

[Current popularity: 70000, Task progress: 139322/1000000]

Looking at the works he had just drawn, Lin Fan was overjoyed. This system had never been very reliable, but he was incredibly lucky! Although he only drew 10 songs this time, plus the 3 he had just drawn and the 2 he had drawn before, it was equivalent to 15 long-term meal tickets!

Looking at these familiar songs from his past life, Lin Fan felt refreshed! He had even decided who to sell these money-making machines to! Zhang Xinlan and Xia Yan, he couldn't lose either of them; selling them to them would be considered taking advantage of their familiarity!

After feeling smug for a while, I checked my popularity again and found that it had suddenly surged, breaking through 100,000 again.

This time coincides with the peak period when Lin Fan dominated the trending topics list.

[Current popularity: 100000, Task progress: 169322/1000000]

Haha, that was so much fun, let's do it again!

"System, try again..."

system:"……"

[Ding! System upgrade forced!]

[Current popularity: 0, Task progress: 169322/1000000]

Almost the instant Lin Fan shouted it out, the system finally lost its patience and made its move, unleashing a super-powerful attack that left Lin Fan frozen on the bed, his eyes devoid of any life.

Lin Fan opened his mouth, utterly astonished. He never expected the system to pull such a stunt. System, your shamelessness makes me want to punch you! Where's my forty-meter-long sword? Where's my Italian cannon? I'm going to kill this slutty bitch!

Every time they draw a prize, they only give me some unreliable skills. Now they're even using up all my popularity points without my consent. That's outrageous!

"System, come out here! I won't kill you! I'll just cripple you!"

Unfortunately, the system arrogantly displayed a progress bar in front of Lin Fan.

1%

2%

3%

……

One second increases the progress value by one point.

The system upgrade was completed in just 100 seconds.

"System, you're leveling up so fast? How are your competitors supposed to compete? They usually take days and dozens of hours to level up, right? Are you some kind of super-fast guy?"

Lin Fan looked utterly hopeless. This system was really too much; leveling up was like a joke.

[Ding! Superstar System upgraded to Level 2!]

[Level 2 System Update Function: Given that the host has consistently been hesitant to showcase their acquired divine skills, all of the host's skills will be changed to mandatory skills! Mandated activation, spotlight everywhere! A superstar should be the coolest kid on the block!]

[Ding! Due to the host's lack of cooperation, the Level 2 system's popularity lottery draw has been increased from 10000 popularity points per draw to 10 popularity points per draw. If this happens again, the system will further increase the penalty!]

……

"System, come out here, let's have a proper talk!"

Lin Fan practically gritted his teeth as he read through the notifications. This system must be insane if it doesn't torment him every day! Leaving aside the fact that all his skills had become mandatory, just the fact that the popularity lottery now costs 10 points per draw is enough to make Lin Fan want to kill someone!

No, kill the system!
