Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

He muttered to himself, "System, I've decided to inherit the property. Should I be able to bind to the system?"

The next moment he spoke, the system received a response.

[Congratulations to the host for inheriting the Xingchuan Idol Agency. The system has been successfully bound, and the "Black-Hearted Agent System" has officially been activated!]

[Host, please start your firm's revival plan! ]

The next moment, Hoshikawa Taku felt an information panel appear in his mind.

He looked at the content and spent some time to figure out the capabilities of the system.

Just like the name "Black-hearted Agent System", this system is designed to make him a black-hearted boss.

When he signs a contract with an idol artist, the more demanding and unscrupulous the contract is, the greater the reward he can get.

The more difficult the task he assigns to the idols, the more reward he, as their agent, will receive after completing it.

To put it bluntly, as a boss, he would "PUA" the idol artists under him and make them work like slaves for him.

"In my previous life, I was just a working ox, how come I suddenly became a capitalist in this life..."

Hoshikawa Taku held his forehead speechlessly.

The change of identity was too fast and he couldn't adapt to it for a while.

However, the system did not give him time to adapt.

Just as he understood the function of the system, the familiar mechanical sound rang out again.

[Ding! Newbie mission has been released!]

Hoshikawa Taku was startled and immediately sat up straight.

"Mission? What mission?"

A transparent panel popped up in his mind, with lines of clear text appearing on it:

The first step in rebuilding the office

Mission Description: How can an agency without idols be revitalized? Please find a girl who meets the requirements as soon as possible and sign her as the agency's first idol.

Mission objective: Find suitable candidates for girl idols, get them to sign contracts, and become contracted artists of the agency.

Mission Reward: Unlocks the system interface and activates the idol training function. Receives 50 yen in agency startup capital. Receives a random skill card (the host gains a random skill).

Penalty for mission failure: System functions will be blocked for one week, and the bank will intensify debt collection efforts.

Additional Tip: Without idols, what's the point of an idol agency? Hosts, please seize the moment! The future top idols are right beside you. The key is whether you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering them!

Taku Hoshikawa looked at the task panel and sighed helplessly.

"Signing the first idol? All the employees of this agency have already resigned. Now I'm the only one left. Which girl would be willing to come to a place like this to be an artist?"

The system encourages:

[Host, don't worry. Geniuses don't choose their environment. The key lies in the host's sincerity and vision.]

"Sincerity and vision... well, first idol, we'll see."

Hoshikawa Taku rubbed his temples and stood up.

Although it's difficult to recruit artists given the agency's current situation, but...with the system in place, it should be possible, right?

------

If you're looking for a place to hang out with fashionable girls of the right age, then Shibuya, which represents fashion, is the perfect place.

It was almost noon, and the bright sunlight shone through the blue sky, making the glass curtain walls of the tall buildings as dazzling as mirrors.

The giant LED screens on both sides of the street play the latest idol advertisements and music videos in turn, accompanied by fast-paced melodies, like a mobile stage.

There are crowds of people here. The handsome men and beautiful women coming and going are all wearing the latest fashions and various fashionable makeups. Everyone is showing their own personality.

Taku Hoshikawa stood next to the famous Hachiko Square in Shibuya, his eyes constantly wandering among the pedestrians, scanning those young and beautiful faces, looking for shining stars that have not yet been discovered.

There were many handsome men and beautiful women here, and Taku Hoshikawa quickly locked his eyes on a girl who was taking a selfie with her mobile phone.

Liking selfies means that you are confident in your appearance, and daring to take pictures in a crowd without paying attention to others shows that you are extroverted and not afraid of other people's strange looks.

Maybe he's a suitable candidate.

Taku Hoshikawa walked towards her and was about to speak with a smile, but he saw a wary look on her face. She put away her phone and hurriedly avoided him.

He wasn't even given a chance to speak.

Hoshikawa Taku thought this was just an isolated case, so he approached a few more girls, but without exception, he was ignored.

Taku Hoshikawa was confused by the continuous cold reception.

Is it a problem with my image?

He went to a fast food restaurant on the corner, went into the bathroom, and stood in front of the mirror.

There was indeed something wrong with him in the mirror.

He looks quite handsome in the mirror, and is not inferior to celebrities.

However, the man in the mirror at this moment had an unshaven beard, bloodshot eyes, and an exhausted and decadent look.

He was like a drunk who had just come out of the bar after drinking until dawn, completely out of energy.

This was the first time he saw the appearance of his body, and he didn't expect it to look like this.

"No wonder they looked at me like a bad guy..."

Hoshikawa Taku touched the stubble on his chin and frowned in annoyance.

He asked the system in a low voice, somewhat worriedly: "System, among your rewards, there is an option to improve physical fitness, right? I don't want to die suddenly again."

【Host, please rest assured. 】

The system's voice was as calm as ever.

[As long as you complete the task, you will receive rich rewards, including the ability to improve your physical fitness. ]

These words made Taku Hoshikawa feel much more at ease.

He turned and walked into a convenience store next door and bought a razor and a pair of sunglasses.

After returning to the restaurant, he quickly shaved his beard and put on sunglasses, which perfectly covered his bloodshot eyes.

After finishing his preparation, he looked himself up and down in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, now I look like a professional talent scout."

With a new image as a "scout", Hoshikawa Taku returned to his pickup job. This time, the situation improved: the girls were obviously less wary of him, and some even showed some interest in his proposal.

However, just when he thought he could complete the task successfully, the system's voice rang out mercilessly.

【Quality test in progress...】

A few seconds later, a glaring red panel appeared before his eyes.

[Warning: This target does not have the talent to become an idol. Please continue to look for someone who meets the requirements.]

Taku Hoshikawa helplessly looked at the girl who was "rejected" by the system, and sent her away with a wry smile.

The other party realized that he was being fooled and couldn't help but glare at him, then turned away angrily.

"System, what do you mean?" Hoshikawa Taku complained softly, "These days it's hard to even find someone willing to be an idol, and you have to have talent? This is too difficult!"

The system's emotionless voice sounded again.

[Host please continue to work hard. 】

Hoshikawa Taku had nothing to say but to continue searching. He tried to approach more girls and chat with them, but he still couldn't find a target that met the system's requirements.

From morning to afternoon, time passed quietly, the scorching sun gradually set in the west, and Taku Hoshikawa dragged his tired body to sit on a bench by the roadside and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This task is really difficult..." He sighed and looked at the people on the street, feeling frustrated.

He began to doubt whether he could really earn 1 billion yen from the firm with such harsh standards of the system.

Ten billion yen is equivalent to more than 40 million yuan in RMB. He could never earn that much even if he worked until his death in his previous life!

Just when Taku Hoshikawa was feeling frustrated, his cell phone rang, signed by [Toyokawa].

Such a familiar last name...

Taku Hoshikawa answered the phone, and the voice on the other end was that of a middle-aged man who seemed a little drunk.

"Hey, kid, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you say you wanted to play marbles with me? I've been waiting for you all day and you didn't show up!"

Chapter 3 Why should we play Kasuga Shadow!?

Play marbles?

Listening to the familiar voice, Taku Hoshikawa gradually recalled the other person's identity.

The other party's name was Toyokawa Qinggao, and he was the "son-in-law" of the Toyokawa family. After marrying into the family, he changed his surname to Toyokawa.

The Toyokawa family is a powerful family in Japan, with considerable influence in both the entertainment industry and political circles.

Originally, he should have gradually taken over the Toyokawa family's business until he became the head of the family, but after his wife died, he was marginalized everywhere in the Toyokawa family.

Suddenly one day, he was valued by the Toyokawa family and was given a very important film and television project.

As long as the project is successful, it will create an IP like the "Marvel Universe".

Hoshikawa Taku's parents have known Toyokawa Kiyoshi and his wife for many years. They believe that he can develop this project, so they bet their entire fortune on it.

And the result was... the plan collapsed and all participants suffered huge losses.

After his parents died unexpectedly, Taku Hoshikawa left him a debt of 10 billion yen, and the Toyokawa family, as the leader, lost 168 billion yen.

Fortunately, Fengchuan's family is wealthy and this amount of money is not enough to cause any serious damage.

But as the person responsible, Toyokawa Qinggao was naturally punished - he, the son-in-law, was expelled from the Toyokawa family and severed all ties with the Toyokawa family and his daughter.

Although the Hoshikawa family suffered heavy losses because they trusted him, there is no business without losses, not to mention that his situation is no worse than Hoshikawa Taku's.

As two people who have fallen to the bottom of the world overnight, there is no need for them to hate each other.

For the past month, it has been this bad friend of his who has been drinking and playing marbles with Taku Hoshikawa every day.

After once again lamenting his own situation, Taku Hoshikawa suddenly felt that this experience seemed a little familiar.

The Toyokawa family...losses...the father kicked out...

Hoshikawa Taku quickly asked, "Hey, Uncle Qinggao, your daughter's name is Toyokawa Shoko, right?!"

"Yes, you've met Xiangzi, haven't you? Why are you saying that now?"

Although he had a premonition, when the other party confirmed it in person, Taku Hoshikawa's mood instantly became excited.

It’s Shoko Toyokawa!

I didn’t expect that I would travel to not only Japan, but also the world of “MYGO” and “AveMujica”!

Originally, Taku Hoshikawa was still worried about where to find his first signed artist, but now he doesn't have to worry anymore.

Isn't Toyokawa Shoko a ready-made idol?!

He didn't believe that this former Miss Tsukinomori, who could play the piano, compose music, and work as a customer service representative, did not meet the system's requirements!

The system said that the future top idol is right next to him, and I'm afraid it is Toyokawa Shoko!

"Uncle Qinggao, you're still playing marbles, right? Wait a moment, I'll be right over!"

After hanging up the phone, Taku Hoshikawa couldn't wait to take a taxi.

Taxis in Japan are very expensive, and even ordinary artists are reluctant to take them.

However, this amount of money is nothing compared to the 1 billion yen owed by Taku Hoshikawa.

Although he couldn't pay back 1 billion yen, he still had some savings and enough money for a taxi.

Arriving at the pachinko parlor, Hoshikawa Taku looked around and soon saw Toyokawa Kiyoshi who was drinking and playing pachinko drunkenly.

Taku Hoshikawa sat down at the machine next to him, took out his membership card and stuffed it into the machine, then he skillfully operated the pinball machine. By the way, he picked up an unopened can of beer next to him and started drinking it.

Toyokawa Kiyoshi drank a lot and his face turned red. He glanced at Hoshikawa Taku, smiled and touched his shoulder.

"Boy, you're here. Why are you so late today? Did you drink too much last night?"

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and nodded.
