Chapter 65: Brother is a Big Star – 11

The cameraman’s eyes went wide. “How do you know my girlfriend is my neighbor? And you even calculated that my mother doesn’t like my partner?”

“I heard you on the phone just now!”

“……….”

【Look at that, as long as I gather enough information, I can earn fifty bucks.】

【He’s totally broken! Sister Xin is teaching you how to prevent fraud!】

Along the way, the cameraman felt as if he had aged more than ten years. The moment he saw the director, he tearfully begged never to follow Ren Xin again; she was simply too terrifying.

Guan Ming patted his shoulder, suppressing a laugh as he said, “I understand. You’ve worked hard.”

“Due to Li Zekai’s personal reasons, he will be unable to participate in future recordings. Let us welcome our new guest family: the Voice of Heaven, Wu Xian, and his younger sister, Wu Qingyi.”

Everyone clapped warmly in welcome. Ren Xin watched with curiosity as the man bowed humbly in thanks; something about this person felt off.

Book Spirit Number One: “Host, be careful. He has a system on him!”

Ren Xin: “???”

Book Spirit Number One explained: “The task-takers we recruit aren’t necessarily human. They could be systems, or even animals and the like. Everyone has it hard; they all just want to trade for some Virtue Points!”

Ren Xin understood, but she wasn’t happy. “I thought I was special.”

“You are! You were sent here by someone who forced us to take you in. Isn’t that special enough?”

Ren Xin: “……….”

“Book Spirit Number One, tell me, if I were to destroy the other party’s system, what would I have to pay?”

“Dear, I wouldn’t recommend doing that!”

“Why?”

“Because you are colleagues. That counts as internal conflict; you’d have to pay a fine in Virtue Points.”

Fine then. “Then, did my brother’s suicide in his past life and the original host’s family ruin have anything to do with him?”

Book Spirit Number One went silent.

Ren Xin understood. Fine, Virtue Points it is. What the hell do I have to be afraid of?

Even if she gained nothing from this world, she was going to beat the other party until they learned their lesson.

Wu Xian suddenly felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He couldn’t help but ask his system, “Why do I feel like that girl across from me is very unfriendly?”

System: “Friendly reminder: she is no pushover. Do not provoke her unnecessarily.”

Wu Xian said unhappily, “I still have to deal with her brother, so I’m bound to clash with her. If you’re a coward, just say so.”

“I am a coward!”

Wu Xian: “……….”

The production crew instructed the parents to take their children to complete designated tasks to obtain ingredients, cook them, and then have the children eat every bite.

Ren Xin was horrified. “You’re trying to make me die young!”

Guan Ming explained with a beaming smile, “Not at all. We have professional medical staff on standby, so rest easy.”

“That makes it feel even scarier!! Can children be put up for adoption? Beautiful Film Empress, can I join your family registry?”

Ren Sen: “………” She wasn’t hiding her disdain at all!

【Hahahahaha…..】

【Sister Xin is seeking adoption online. I just want to say, come to my house, my house is big…】

Yuanyuan comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. In a few years, you’ll be a hero again!”

Ren Xin: “………..” You are no longer my partner, and you won’t be hearing any more of my stories from now on.

Yuanyuan felt a sense of relief. Honestly, it was probably for the best not to hear those nonsensical stories!

They drew lots to decide their tasks. Ren Xin had the “good luck” to draw the fighter jets of the countryside¹: Big Geese! The task required them to herd the geese to the river!

Ren Sen: “……….” Thank you so much.

“You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do.”

【This is truly hilarious. Those are geese! The one species I fear in my dreams.】

【Iron-beaked geese, overbearing counterattacks. I kind of want to see how this plays out.】

【+1】

Ren Xin valiantly led her brother toward the geese’s territory. She even took a moment to comfort him. “If you’re scared, just step behind me. I’ll protect you.”

“How are you going to protect me?”

“By joining them. I’ll make them think I’m here to surrender.”

“……….”

【Is this the legendary ‘if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em’?】

【Yes, our Sister Xin is just that flexible!】

As luck would have it, Wu Xian was performing a task with his sister, Wu Qingyi, right next door to the goose pen. Their task was to herd chickens back into their coop.

Ren Sen looked at the geese, each one looking ready for battle, and felt a bit of trepidation. “Do we really have to do this task? Can’t we just skip dinner?”

Ren Xin shook her head. “No. We’ve taken the money, so you have to make a fool of yourself!”

【Director: Why are you telling the blunt truth?】

【Director: Sister Xin knows me best!】

【For the first time, I feel like a celebrity’s money isn’t easy to earn.】

【That feeling only applies to Ren Sen…….hhhhhhh】

Ren Sen approached cautiously, negotiating in a gentle tone, “Let’s go for a walk! I won’t eat you, don’t worry. How about we go to the river?”
