All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

Because many people at the scene saw her subconsciously nodding in response to Jiang Tang's question, it naturally caused an uproar.

The audience was also discussing it, debating Qiu Lengyan's identity and the meaning behind her nod, questioning whether it contradicted her subsequent denial.

Why is she trying to cover it up? Is it because of her identity?

It must be said that more and more people, though they find it hard to believe, are speculating that she might actually be Qiu Lengyan herself.

However, Jiang Tang, who was also in a closed environment, could not see Qiu Lengyan's nod. Therefore, he only heard the latter's denial and frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this mysterious guest was really too reserved.

The organizers of this show didn't seem to know how to arrange for some interesting people to participate in the games.

But she was boring, and he couldn't be boring. Jiang Tang lazily propped his cheeks up with his palms, exuding an aura that made him seem like the one in control of everything.

"Then you're really pathetic, you don't even have someone you like."

"..."

Qiu Lengyan's lips twitched. How could this person be so annoying!

However, Jiang Tang then changed the subject.

"I'm different; I have someone I like."

"Oh... impressive." Qiu Lengyan's words were indifferent, and she secretly rolled her eyes at her in her heart.

"What's even more amazing is that the person I like happens to like me too."

Jiang Tang, however, seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in her tone, and instead boasted with a hint of pride.

"???"

Qiu Lengyan refused to admit that she was being sour!

The audience's emotions were stirred by Jiang Tang's words, sometimes laughing, sometimes complaining, and sometimes speechless.

Jiang Tang then asked.

"Do you want to know who I like?"

"...Who is it?"

"I'll tell you, and you'll tell me too, okay? Let's make a fair deal."

"Okay... Ugh, I already said I don't have anyone I like!"

Qiu Lengyan unknowingly led Jiang Tang into another trap; this guy is really messing with people's mentality!

Qiu Lengyan is now extremely curious about who that cheeky guy she was chatting with is, and which outrageous host drew the "SSR" (meaning "top-tier") card!

Is it easy for me to come here as a guest?

Qiu Lengyan is now filled with regret, thinking that she should have just sung a song to fulfill his wish.

Jiang Tang also has ways to catch Qiu Lengyan off guard.

Just as he was rubbing his hands together, ready to continue his conversation with this aloof and in a bad mood, mysterious guest, he was about to start.

The loudspeakers installed in the two soundproof rooms blared, signaling to Jiang Tang and Qiu Lengyan that the first phase was over.

They were asked to prepare immediately for the next segment, where the organizers would ask a question that was somewhat sensational, but definitely not as mind-blowing as Jiang Tang's question that would have caused Qiu Lengyan to lose her temper, for the two to answer.

They seemed to realize that if Jiang Tang continued to act so recklessly, Miss Qiu Lengyan would have to "stay put" for a while.

After hearing the staff's instructions, Qiu Lengyan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she no longer had to be tormented by the other party's rambling words.

"My first question is, do you two have any favorite anime, or any good anime you've watched recently that you'd like to recommend to the audience?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lengyan's eyes lit up; this was exactly the question she had been waiting for.

Although the company and agent did not inform me in advance that I would be participating in this awkward chat segment.

However, in preparation for this breakthrough, they did some research beforehand.

In fact, anime fans are easy to please. Just find a popular anime series and express your love for it and your liking for a popular character. The audience of that anime series will naturally accept you.

Ideally, you should also memorize a few jokes and use them to elicit a knowing smile from each other; that would basically complete the task.

This is what is meant by "like-minded people".

"I have it~ The latest 'Time Agent', I love it! The male leads are all so handsome, but the plot is a bit too angsty... I'm almost out of tissues at home."

Qiu Lengyan's words immediately elicited a response from a group of girls in the audience, as well as some boys, but not many, perhaps due to the slight BL elements in the anime.

However, Qiu Lengyan already has enough male fans, so it's not bad to attract a wave of female fans with this!

"Hey, you there, I recommend you watch it too." Qiu Lengyan also mentioned Jiang Tang, her tone slightly arrogant, as if she was using this opportunity to put aside past grievances.

But Jiang Tang wanted to say that he was neither "Hey", nor "that person", nor "Chu Yuxun".

He knew it wasn't his turn to speak yet, so he simply responded.

"...Okay, I'll go check it out when I have time."

Then they were immediately drowned out by Qiu Lengyan's emotionally charged voice.

"Besides Chinese animation, I also watch Japanese anime~ I don't even need to mention the names, just saying that the main character is an adorable blue slime should be enough for everyone to understand!"

Now it wasn't just the girls; all the boys in the audience wore excited expressions, shouting things like "The cutest king is the best!" and other cringeworthy phrases.

Qiu Lengyan's strategy is quite successful. With just two popular works, she has attracted so much attention and recognition.

When she reveals her identity and steps to the front of the stage, who knows what kind of heated reaction it will provoke.

When the audience realizes that it is the national idol and top celebrity Qiu Lengyan who has endorsed the anime they love, the sense of pride they feel will motivate them to become even more enthusiastic fans of the work and of Qiu Lengyan herself.

Even when recommending someone else's work, having Qiu Lengyan's endorsement makes it a very prestigious thing to recommend it.

The organizers must have had their reasons for arranging this question, and the same applies to the subsequent questions. We had already reviewed the script with Ms. Qiu Lengyan beforehand.

Perhaps only Jiang Tang is the guy who has to improvise freely, and many people are waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

"Alright, next up is Mr. Jiang. Have you watched any interesting or memorable anime recently that you could recommend to the audience?"

When the host asked the question, it was Qiu Lengyan who was first stunned.

...Mr. Jiang?

No, it can't be his. Qiu Lengyan took a deep breath and shook her head.

Jiang Tang's response followed at this time.

"If I had to recommend something..."

He did watch that anime recently, but is he sure he can recommend it here? In front of everyone?

"Never mind, I'm a little embarrassed to say it." It was quite rare for Jiang Tang to back down.

But the result of spending all day creating a show effect is that you yourself become part of the show effect.

The audience below the stage, the host on stage, and even Qiu Lengyan sitting in another secret room all raised their eyebrows and looked quite interested when they heard Jiang Tang's words.

How could we let you off so easily! — This was almost everyone's thought.

"It's okay, what's there to be ashamed of? We're all from the anime/manga world~"

"No, no, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore..."

Now, if anyone says Jiang Tang is a fan of anime/manga, he'll get angry.

But the host still wouldn't let him off the hook.

After a short period of persuasion, Jiang Tang had no choice but to finally agree.

Qiu Lengyan even pricked up her ears and brightened her eyes so she could hear Jiang Tang's recommendation.

Her ears can move, something many people seem unable to do.

"Then I'll say it: it's also an isekai (another world) themed work."

"Another world, ah, classic."

"Then the protagonist went through some things, specifically, he had a tragic past."

"It's so cruel to the protagonist! The more cruel it is in the early stages, the more satisfying it is in the later stages."

The host immediately commented that it seemed the host had been immersed in anime for many years and was not an outsider... well, an outsider, since the host was a girl.

Jiang Tang recalled for a moment and nodded.

"The later parts were really enjoyable; it's the most enjoyable anime I've watched recently."

Revenge, a beautiful girl, and a vengeful beautiful girl at that—how could you not be excited?

"Then stop keeping us in suspense, Mr. Jiang, please tell our audience the name of the anime!"

"Yeah, yeah, I want to see if there's any isekai anime that's more fun than Rimuru!" one audience member shouted.

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Jiang Tang decided to reveal one last piece of information: works in this gray area are indeed best left untold in the open.

Therefore, he coughed lightly before continuing.

"All I can say is, those who know, know; those who don't, you won't understand even if I explain, so it's better not to say anything. Don't ask me what's going on either, just pretend you don't know. As for the rest, all I can say is that there's a lot going on here, and most of the online resources have been removed... The protagonist is a hero, and he has a fire poker as his weapon."

A fire poker? Qiu Lengyan frowned. What did that mean?

She had skimmed through the synopses of all the recent popular anime, and had never heard of a protagonist wielding this weapon.

The host also seemed a little confused, tilting his head in bewilderment.

Many of the boys in the audience actually showed knowing expressions and exclaimed "Oh~" in surprise.

Shi Xue blushed silently amidst the crowd, because this anime... she and her master had watched it together, at night, in bed, watching it and then...

"I have to say, this one is even more 'fun' than Rimuru!"

Such a comment immediately garnered widespread agreement and support.

Qiu Lengyan & Host: "What's going on? This atmosphere that only I don't know about..."

After I finish work, I'll use my free time to look up this so-called hero protagonist who uses a stick! Qiu Lengyan thought to herself.

The female host secretly thought to herself that she hadn't done her homework properly, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Thank you to our mystery guest, and Mr. Jiang for the recommendation."

"But it's getting late, let's move on to the next question and answer session."
