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

Chen Ye's lips twitched as he looked at the red text flashing on the screen.

God is really good at creating a persona.

He's just this kind of person, okay? What do you mean by creating a persona? He's just like this.

But what about the second requirement, appearing on variety shows?

If we really want to earn back that ridiculous popularity score to fill the empty system shop.

Appearing on variety shows is definitely the most cost-effective option.

He's used to being easygoing, and the long filming schedules mean he gets yelled at and treated like a servant by the director. It's exhausting.

If I could find a slow-paced variety show or travel show that doesn't require much brainpower, go on it, eat and drink for free, and gain popularity points at the same time, that would be wonderful.

Moreover, that mysterious gift package did indeed ignite his competitive spirit.

"Oh well, what can I do? I'm just naturally beautiful."

Chen Ye sighed.

He scooped up the fishing rod from the ground.

Without even glancing at the empty bucket, he turned and walked straight into the yacht's cockpit.

I'm not fishing anymore.

He's off to farm and level up in the jungle.

Half an hour later.

Inside a luxury suite on the top floor of a hotel in Z Mountain.

After taking a shower, Chen Ye stood in front of the huge full-length mirror at the sink, wrapped in a bath towel.

On his way back, he casually clicked to use the "God-level Body Shaping Card".

At that moment, the man in the mirror underwent a startling change.

My abs, which had become a little lax after staying home for two years, have now transformed into well-defined, hard eight-pack abs.

Two V-lines disappeared directly into the edge of the bath towel along her firm lower abdomen.

With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his inverted triangle proportions are practically perfect.

Chen Ye whistled loudly in front of the mirror.

"What a tragedy."

"If this gets out, how many young women will lose sleep over it?"

After indulging in his narcissism, Chen Ye put on a loose black T-shirt and sat down at the desk in the suite.

Since you've decided to make a comeback, you have to do something big.

He opened the system's inventory.

Looking at the six "Earth's Golden Hits Library Selections" lying there quietly.

Since the entire internet is crying and lamenting over his "sad love songs" and "unresolved feelings," how could he not give it a push?

Then just release an EP digital album.

Let's use these six songs as bullets and grab this initial wave of popularity first.

Once a plan is set, Chen Ye is a decisive and efficient person.

In the following days, he seemed to have vanished into thin air.

He even declined all the group video invitations from the three idiots in the Chinese entertainment industry.

He found a top-of-the-line private recording studio in Z city and spent a lot of money to book it for a week.

With the system's god-level all-around music production capabilities, skills are enhanced.

Chen Ye is now practically a human-shaped, self-propelled music production line.

Choose a suitable track.

I composed the music myself, recorded the instruments myself, and recorded the music in the studio myself.

In the end, I handled the mixing and mastering myself.

He single-handedly accomplished the work of an entire top-notch music production team.

It is fast and of high quality.

The recording studio owner, who delivers takeout every day, looks at him as if he's a pervert.

The online buzz is still growing, and surprisingly, Song Yuqi hasn't responded at all, as if it doesn't affect her.

She even accidentally liked a video from a marketing account.

This has once again driven netizens who are watching the drama go wild.

Meanwhile, Chen Ye was working himself to the bone in the recording studio.

Shanghai, hundreds of kilometers away.

In a private riverside café.

The three idiots of the Chinese entertainment industry are sneaking around in a most secluded corner.

The three men were wearing baseball caps and black masks; to the untrained eye, they would have looked like a criminal gang scouting the area.

Chen He took a big gulp of his iced Americano and brought his face close to the center of the table.

"Brothers, is everything settled?"

Lu Han lowered her voice and tapped her fingers on the table.

"My schedule and Chao Ge's schedule are completely free."

"The three of us are definitely the main initiators of this new variety show."

"Everything is ready now, the only problem is, how do we get that dead fish, Ono, out of the water?"

Deng Chao pushed up his sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose and laughed.

"It's definitely not going to work if you force yourself to ask."

"Don't you guys know Ono's temper?"

"Like a donkey, it won't move if you lead it, it will back away if you hit it. The more you beg it, the more it will lie flat."

Chen He slapped his thigh in frustration.

"But this thing's popularity lately is just terrifying!"

"Haven't you guys watched Douyin? Any random edit of his video can get over a million likes."

"Our show, 'Five Ha' Season 1, focuses on a road trip."

"If we can manage to get Ono to join us, the ratings will absolutely blow the other channel's pants off!"

The three exchanged a glance.

They could read the same unspoken understanding in each other's eyes, a kind of "frenemy friendship".

Buzz!

Deng Chao's phone suddenly vibrated on the table.

Caller ID: Wang Zhengyu.

Deng Chao perked up and quickly answered the phone, pressing the speakerphone button.

"Hey, Chao-ge, are you free tonight?"

Wang Zhengyu's slightly tired but extremely excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I've chartered a luxury cruise ship here, right on the Huangpu River."

"Let's finish our meal and talk tonight and finalize the details of 'Five Ha'."

"I'm free! I'm free!"

Deng Chao readily agreed, while frantically nudging Chen He beside him with his elbow.

Chen He understood immediately and shouted in his extremely piercing, hoarse voice.

"Old Wang!"

"Hey, you know Ono's been super popular lately, right?"

"Let's discuss this. Should we come up with a way to get him involved?"

There was an eerie two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Immediately following, Wang Zhengyu's signature shrewd laughter erupted.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"What a coincidence! That's exactly what I was thinking about!"

"Chen Ye has an incredibly strong sense of variety. He was the most entertaining one on Running Man before, and now he's a natural at generating buzz."

Wang Zhengyu paused, his tone becoming extremely resolute.

"If the three of you can manage to drag him out of that safe haven, I'll try to give him the highest possible appearance fee!"

"All set! Just hearing that is enough!"

Lu Han snapped his fingers excitedly.

"Let's meet on the ship tonight to discuss the hunting plan in detail. See you there!"

Night fell completely, and the city lights began to come on.

The dazzling neon lights of Shanghai are reflected on the shimmering surface of the Huangpu River.

A stylish luxury cruise ship is quietly moored at the dock.

Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han wrapped their trench coats tightly around themselves.

Like a thief, he rubbed his hands together and slipped onto Wang Zhengyu's "thief ship".

Little did they know, they had also been tricked by Wang Zhengyu.

At the same time.

Chen Ye, far away in the Z Mountain recording studio, was intently wearing monitoring headphones, fine-tuning the mixing of the last two songs.

"Achoo!"

Chen Ye suddenly sneezed loudly without warning.

He rubbed his sore nose.

I took off my headphones and looked around.

"That's weird, isn't the air conditioning in this recording studio set way too high?"

He had no idea that he had been targeted by four of the most cunning and ruthless figures in the Chinese entertainment industry.
