The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 248 An Ordinary Person Dares to Enter the Entertainment Industry

"The patient has a heartbeat!" Fang Cheng first heard a woman's voice. Then, she felt dizzy and fell asleep again.

At this moment, Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM also opened their eyes and found that they were in a consciousness space—the consciousness space of the equation.

"Wow, this is... suddenly healed?" Lu Renkui looked at the consciousness space filled with dolls and planetariums with some confusion, and turned to ask the system WQBYRZM.

System WQBYRZM lowered his head and remained silent. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "I know why we couldn't get in before."

"The equation is actually always in a soul state, and in the soul state we cannot enter the consciousness space."

"Ah, so that's how it is. But it seems to be within my expectations." Lu Renkui thought about how Fang Cheng and the others entered the infinite flow world, and it seemed that they could all be matched with all sorts of ways to die.

"So, the infinite flow world is essentially a transitional space, and only those who clear it can survive, is that what you mean?" Lu Renkui came to his conclusion.

"That should be it." System WQBYRZM checked the task progress bar, which showed that the task progress had reached 100%, and their task was completed.

A short while later, Fang Cheng also arrived in her consciousness space. She looked around curiously and then saw that her two little golden finger figures were still there.

"Why are you two still here?" Fang Cheng looked at the two people she thought were tiny, superhuman figures with cheat codes in surprise—now they had grown to normal human size, especially the girl with braids who was even a little taller than her.

Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM exchanged a glance.

After receiving the system's default approval, Lu Renkui began to explain to Fang Cheng why they had approached him: "We two weren't originally your cheat system; you were originally our mission target because our mission was to keep you alive."

"However, since you were in a soul state at the beginning, we were unable to enter your consciousness space, so we could only pretend to be your cheat code to help you escape your death."

Fang Cheng understood; the two people in front of her had come to save her life in the first place.

“Now that our mission is complete,” Lu Renkui said, seeing the system WQBYRZM waving at him. He walked to the system WQBYRZM, then turned to Fang Cheng and waved, “The two of us are going to the next world.”

Fang Cheng nodded, waved gratefully to the two people who had given him so much help, and said, "Goodbye!"

"Okay, goodbye." Lu Renkui turned around and sighed again at the system WQBYRZM, hoping that I could accumulate enough points to go back soon. What's the next mission?

"The next task is... Oh! Finally! An entertainment industry theme!" System WQBYRZM rubbed its hands excitedly. "Finally, I've got this theme."

"What's wrong with this subject matter?" Lu Renkui asked. She hadn't read many novels about the entertainment industry and didn't know why the system WQBYRZM was so excited.

“The entertainment industry is an inevitable path for all of us systems,” System WQBYRZM said, while showing Lu Renkui the original text containing information about the people they were going to inhabit this time. “It can be said to be a test of the professional abilities of us systems and the hosts we bring.”

"Host, please do your best. If you complete this mission well, we will not only get a large number of points, but you will also have the right to see how your family is living now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Renkui immediately became extremely focused, paying even closer attention to the information about the target than before.

After reviewing the information about the target, Lu Renkui summarized it: her name was Sen Ouling, a 23-year-old female actress who had gained some fame through a new drama and landed a variety show role. However, due to contact with a popular male celebrity—the male lead—she was accused of intimate contact by the male lead's fans and subsequently subjected to cyberbullying by the male celebrity's fans, who accused her of trying to gain popularity by associating with him.

She attempted suicide multiple times afterward, and after successfully committing suicide, her body was possessed by one of the male celebrity's fans—who is also the female lead. That fan had previously cyberbullied the original owner; she was a fan of the male lead and was unhappy about the original owner's contact with him.

Afterwards, the fan used the original owner's body to start a relationship with that popular male celebrity.

Hmm, it seems the reason she's considered a background character is that, aside from providing a physical form for the female lead, she died before the plot officially began. Lu Renkui lowered her head and began to ponder, wondering which point in time she would be transported to.

"Host, are you ready?" The voice of system WQBYRZM came from behind.

Lu Renkui snapped out of his daze and loudly replied, "All done!"

Then, Lu Renkui closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found that the original owner was sitting on the ground, and her neck even felt a little cold.

Lu Renkui felt something in her hand. She looked at it and saw that it was a kitchen knife. The chill she had felt on her neck earlier was from this knife.

Lu Renkui stared at the knife for two seconds, then tossed it far away. Only after feeling she had completely regained control of her body did Lu Renkui get up, pick up the knife, wash it in the kitchen, and put it back. She then left the kitchen and sat at a small dining table, looking around at the rented room where the original owner of the body lived.

The room wasn't large, and the various wooden furniture pieces gave the impression that they had been used for a long time, but there wasn't much dust when you touched them, which showed that someone cleaned it regularly.

This rental apartment is actually quite nice, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. Although it's a bit small, the things are arranged reasonably, so it's not too cramped.

Lu Renkui looked outside. It was already very late. The cold moonlight shone on the ground, and perhaps because of the chill of early spring, the moonlight still added a touch of desolation.

Looking at his clothes, which were still casual attire, Lu Renkui realized the original owner probably hadn't washed up yet. He got up and went to the bathroom, listening to the system WQBYRZM tell him what time period it was.

"The original owner of this body accidentally slipped and fell on that variety show, pulling down the male lead Xiao Keyuan as well, which led to her being cyberbullied by his overzealous fans."

"The original owner couldn't bear the prolonged and extremely malicious cyberbullying for the first time and had suicidal thoughts. Now that the original owner is attempting suicide for the first time, our timing in transmigrating is just right." System WQBYRZM brought up the task bar and assigned a task to Lu Renkui.

"The mission is to help the original owner attract more fans and stop the original owner from being cyberbullied."

"Currently, the original owner has around 40 fans across all platforms. We need to increase the original owner's fan base to at least 100 million."

"Wow," Lu Renkui exclaimed, "100 million followers, how can you attract more fans?"

“Perhaps we can talk about some harmless gossip,” the system WQBYRZM suggested. “Many people like to hear gossip, and the largest proportion of those who criticize the original owner are fans of celebrities. Ordinary passersby don’t care what’s happening in the entertainment industry—unless something goes viral.”

"Most people are curious about areas they haven't been exposed to before. In other words, if you talk about some not-too-serious gossip in the entertainment industry, you might gain a few fans."

"Or you can go live and chat with your fans, which can attract more fans and also help maintain your existing fan base."

"However, host, please be mindful of your words! If someone tries to criticize you later, they will definitely nitpick every little thing in your videos."

"And the variety show that you're hosting is a lifestyle variety show, and the second season will be filming in a few days. Please be prepared."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Renkui spat out the mouthwash and began to think about what he should do next.
