A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

【Ding! 】

A cold, emotionless, mechanical voice exploded in his mind without warning.

[Entertainment Superstar System successfully bound!]

clack.

The half-burnt cigarette in Chen Ye's mouth fell vertically onto the deck.

He remained slumped in the recliner.

His eyebrows slowly rose.

Goldfinger?

system?

As a former overworked office worker who had read countless books on Earth, Chen Ye was extremely familiar with this kind of thing.

He understands, but he's really angry right now.

Are you crazy?

Chen Ye rolled his eyes at the air, nearly snapping the fishing rod in his hand.

"I've been here for over four years!"

"I've practically copied every song in my head, I've been a top star, and I even issued a statement two years ago saying I was forced to retire because I had no new material!"

"Are you telling me now that the binding was successful?"

Doesn't the system understand the profound saying, "A belated affection is worth less than grass"?

In those online novels, the system gives you god-tier equipment right from the start and carries you all the way.

Is this lousy system something that came out to sweep the streets after he'd almost ruined his max-level account?

The cold, mechanical voice echoed in my mind once again.

[Replying to the host, due to severe cosmic traffic disruptions caused by the trans-spacetime crossing, this system was slightly delayed on the way. Being late is normal.]

"Are you trying to act out Beijing's morning rush hour?"

Chen Ye laughed angrily, his tone sharp and sarcastic, "Traffic chaos? Why don't you just say you had a flat tire halfway through the road?"

[Warning: Please stop your rant.]

The system coldly interrupted him.

[Friendly reminder: The perfect voice you possess in this world, and your photographic memory of your past life, which is as accurate as reading from a USB drive, are all benefits and subsidies provided by this system in advance.]

Oh.

Chen Ye fell silent.

Cannibals are soft and short.

He had been wondering why, in his previous life he was just a karaoke enthusiast, but after transmigrating, he could not only hit high notes but also play deep bass.

He could even clearly identify the key beats in the intro of songs he had only heard a few times in his previous life.

After all that effort...

That was a cheat program pre-installed in the system.

"Fine, at least you have a conscience, I'll forgive your snail-paced speed."

Chen Ye leaned back in the recliner, his flip-flops dangling on his toes.

"Then tell me, now that you've graced us with your presence, what can you do for us?"

"Can you conjure up a few grouper for me? I've been out of luck all morning."

The ultimate goal of this system is to transform the host into the world's, and even the universe's, number one all-around superstar!

The system volume suddenly increased, and the electronic sound exploded in his mind, making Chen Ye's head ache.

The system shop is now fully open!

[Here you'll find a massive collection of legendary Earth songs, hit TV drama scripts, and a library of movies with billions in box office revenue!]

[It even includes professional skills covering various fields!]

[Except for not being able to teach you how to cultivate immortality, ascend to immortality, and overcome tribulations, everything else you could want is here!]

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

That's a perfectly round pie in the sky.

"This sounds like a very familiar tactic."

Chen Ye touched his stubble that he hadn't shaved for several days.

"So, how do I redeem it?"

"Do you want me to pay money or sell my soul?"

The system shop uses a "Popularity Points" system as a form of currency exchange.

The system displayed a long string of cold, impersonal rule prompts.

[The host's fame, fan loyalty, and topic popularity in this world can all be converted into popularity points.]

The higher your popularity rating, the higher the quality of the items you can redeem.

Hearing this, Chen Ye laughed.

He didn't have anything else.

Do you need popularity points?

Chen Ye is undoubtedly the most handsome man in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Even though he's been out of the entertainment industry for two years, didn't he just suddenly appear on five trending topics?

The entire internet is now crying and lamenting over his and Song Yuqi's "ultimate BE aesthetics".

This level of popularity and buzz is incredible.

If converted to popularity value, wouldn't it immediately reach the maximum and cause a margin call?

"Hurry up, let me see my enormous wealth."

Chen Ye rubbed his hands together and brought up his personal attribute panel.

A semi-transparent blue light screen, full of technological feel, slowly unfolded before his eyes.

Name: Chen Ye

Age: 26

【Height: 186】

Appearance rating: 99

Physical fitness: 75 (Note: Normal male fitness level is 100)

Current occupation: Unemployed / Severely addicted to deep-sea fishing

Current popularity: 0

The smile on Chen Ye's face vanished instantly.

He looked at the light screen.

I was stunned for two seconds.

"zero?!"

"You fucking told me zero?!"

Chen Ye launched himself directly from the recliner.

The flip-flop on his right foot flew precisely into the seawater not far away.

"I have tens of millions of active followers on Weibo!"

"I just dominated the top five trending topics, almost making Douyin's servers smoke!"

"You calculated my popularity score to be zero?!"

For a top-tier celebrity like Chen Ye in the Chinese entertainment industry, this crappy panel actually shaved his head right from the start!

Please remain calm.

The system responded without any emotion.

[This system has just been successfully bound.]

[Popularity points are calculated strictly from the moment the account is successfully linked.]

All data and popularity you generated previously will be disregarded.

Chen Ye clutched his wildly beating heart.

This person truly has no intention of being human.

Does it not count?

He worked himself to the bone for the past two years, enduring wind and sun on set and developing dark circles under his eyes from working in the recording studio.

Is all emotional work done voluntarily?

They all contributed to the test server?!

"It's hopeless, destroy it, untie it, right now."

Chen Ye slumped back into the recliner, closed his eyes, and completely gave up.

[The unbinding procedure is not yet under development. Please face life positively.]

[Due to the system's delay, a newbie gift pack is now being distributed. Please check it.]

"That's more like it, hurry up."

Chen Ye curled his lip.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 6 selections from Earth's music library!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: God-level Body Shaping Card x1!]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Global Language Proficiency Talent! (Including various dialects and slang from around the world, you can instantly master them as easily and naturally as your native language!)]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired: God-level All-around Music Production Skill!]

A burst of golden light flashed on the screen.

Several items landed steadily in the system's storage space.

Chen Ye opened his eyes, glanced around, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Hey Tongzi, aren't you being a little too stingy?"

"Six songs? You're trying to fob me off like a beggar."

"And this god-like figure, are you insulting my already outstanding genes?"

"As for language proficiency, what, are you planning to send me to the United Nations as a simultaneous interpreter for foreigners?"

The system automatically filtered out his complaints and directly displayed a new light screen.

[The host is currently enjoying an excellent reputation online, benefiting greatly from the widespread online outcry for justice.]

As a future global superstar aiming for the stars, how can one not have a solid public image and high media exposure?

[Mission issued: Host, please find a way to solidify your current persona and officially announce your comeback to the public!]

[Bonus Task: Please participate in a wildly popular variety show and achieve your triumphant return!]

[Task Reward: Completing both of the above tasks will grant you an extremely generous mystery gift pack!]
