Chapter 615: Settlement

"We in India are the same as China, also one of the four ancient civilizations; why do you say that only China remains now?"

"Because ancient India perished more than two thousand years ago, and the complexity of the bloodline of modern Indians is no simpler than Brazil's."

"If we're talking about ancient civilizations, we have to look at our Republic of Korea."

"A bunch of people who take mythology as history are also worthy of being called an ancient civilization?"

"Just blow it; anyway, bragging online doesn't cost money."

………………

On the foreign internet, the debate about the length of each country's history was always fierce.

However, China generally didn't participate in the debate because most Chinese people couldn't get over the wall.

But as the cause of the debate, Miss Luo Quan's video was right there; although China's five thousand years of history had always been controversial, four thousand years was basically not a big problem.

Moreover, China was also one of the few major countries that could rival the United States at present.

Don't look at the fact that there were five in the P5, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Britain and France combined weren't the opponents of any other one.

Whether in terms of national strength or history, Chinese people had the capital to look down on the heroes, so regarding these debates, they usually watched with the mentality of watching a joke and eating melons.

Of course, occasionally there would be situations where a certain Chinese historical figure suddenly became a foreign nationality; this kind of behavior that made people laugh always appeared in neighboring countries, and they even wanted to apply for world heritage.

However, this kind of obvious theft behavior couldn't succeed in most cases, but there would always be times when it slipped through.

Speaking of which, China hadn't been particularly concerned about these issues before, so it gave foreign countries an opportunity.

Fortunately, the government now realized this point, started to vigorously promote traditional culture in the country, and cultivated young people's national cultural awareness; these years could be considered to have had some results.

But it was far from enough and still needed effort.

Miss Luo Quan made a negligible contribution and could be considered to have taken the lead with her own influence, but changing the big environment certainly couldn't rely on her alone.

Just like the Chinese music scene, it needed everyone to work together to produce results.

No matter what, she at least did one meaningful good deed.

News about her variety show had already begun to appear in the country, and hitting the hot search should be a matter of time.

And on the system side, the settlement of the task also came down.

The opening of this Chinese restaurant was very successful, and the tasting event on the last day occupied Twitter's hot trends for a long time, with as many as thirty thousand related tweets.

Speaking of which, there was quite a bit of credit here belonging to those celebrities who came to rub off on the heat.

It had been said before that heat was mutual; these people came to rub off on Miss Luo Quan's heat, and how could Miss Luo Quan not have rubbed off on theirs?

Win-win was how it came about.

Finally, the influence of Miss Luo Quan's restaurant also successfully met the task's requirements.

The task reward was two random draw opportunities, as well as a high-level binding card for a celebrity.

Both were quite useful props; the former could obtain some props not available in the mall, and the latter was the key to her possessing miraculous acting skills.

If it weren't for her using the celebrity binding card stored in the warehouse and obtaining the acting skills of Anthony Hopkins, "The Silence of the Lambs" couldn't have been filmed so successfully.

Without delay, Miss Luo Quan immediately started the draw.

First draw!

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a replaceable task; completing it will grant a mysterious reward."

"WDNMD, you're playing this nesting doll trick on me again, right?" The veins on Miss Luo Quan's temples bulged; she didn't expect that after such a long time, she would encounter the vicious cycle of completing a task—rewarding her with another task.

"Don't misunderstand, this task is very simple, and the reward is exceptionally generous; it absolutely counts as a welfare." Detecting the host's mentality gradually heading toward the edge of explosion, the system hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Miss Luo Quan's mood calmed down a bit: "Tell me about it, how simple is it."

"The sweetness of love is the most wonderful taste in this world; have a romance, possess a love that the whole world envies, and you will…………"

"System, change the task."

"Okay, host."

Have a romance? Miss Luo Quan gave a contemptuous smile; if she really wanted to have one, what kind of man couldn't she find? Why wait until now?

This kind of task was completely here to be funny; not to mention what the standard for completing a romance was, whether it was just acting or true love, it wasn't clear at all.

Moreover, the task requirement was to make the whole world envy—wasn't this too high?

Even if she were the most beautiful in the world, there would absolutely be people in the world who didn't envy her appearance; she didn't have the confidence to have a romance that everyone envied.

Even making one hundred million people envy it was difficult.

So the "simple" the system said was completely lying to ghosts.

"Task replacement completed: deliver a peace speech at the UN General Assembly, calling on all countries in the world to stop the war."

"Change." Miss Luo Quan rolled her eyes and said without hesitation.

She certainly hoped for world peace, but the current situation was that if you wanted true peace, you had to destroy the United States first.

The difficulty of this task was much higher than her having a romance, belonging to one of the almost impossible tasks.

If she had to choose one of two, Miss Luo Quan would rather choose to have a romance; anyway, it didn't specify the gender.

"Task replacement completed: earn ten billion USD within three years!"

"This one actually has feasibility." Miss Luo Quan said the words and also calculated the concept of ten billion in her heart.

Hmm…………

It seemed it really wasn't a small number; she had been so diligent in producing works these past two years, developing in film, variety, and song, and only earned one billion USD.

And the task requirement was for her to earn ten billion; converted, it would take her at least forty years to complete this goal.

Of course, the matter of making money couldn't be quantified.

Earning one million from one hundred might take more than ten years, but if you used one million to earn one hundred million, with good luck, one year would be enough.

After capital accumulated to a certain extent, the speed of increase would be outrageously fast.

She had already passed the stage of primitive accumulation, and her family background could be said to be quite rich.

If she invested in running a big company, as long as the operation was good, making big money was a very simple matter.

In fact, she had been doing this all along.

She had been operating Springwater Entertainment all along, mainly engaged in film and game business, followed by the operations of several artists under her.

However, the net profit so far wasn't particularly high, mainly because most of her money was invested in the research and development of new energy technology.

If that thing was successfully developed and put into production, it would absolutely be a hen that laid golden eggs; by then, the money she could get would probably be more than twenty billion USD.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan felt that this task could be completed within three years; it wasn't unreachable and was absolutely possible to realize.

"There's no penalty for task failure, right?" For the sake of insurance, Miss Luo Quan confirmed it again before accepting the task.

Any task, as long as there was a failure penalty, she wouldn't accept it.

No matter how generous the task reward was, as long as there was a risk of failure, it was equivalent to a time bomb.

According to Murphy's Law, the more you fear this situation will appear, the more likely it is to happen.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan simply didn't give this situation a chance to appear.

"There is no failure penalty." The system gave a clear answer.

"Accept the task." Miss Luo Quan authorized the system.

"Task accepted successfully!

Task requirement: earn ten billion USD within three years.

Task reward: random draw *3, one beauty enhancement card, one custom enhancement card, one random enhancement card!

No penalty for task failure.

Countdown starts: 2 years, 365 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds………… (2020 is a leap year, one extra day)"

After reading this task reward, Miss Luo Quan opened her mouth in surprise, turning into an "O" shape.

This reward was too generous; three attribute enhancement cards at once, more than any time she had obtained before—random, fixed, and custom, one of each. This would have required completing three tasks in the past, and that was only if she was lucky.

Not to mention there were three random draws; adding these together was even more outrageous than a serial task.

No wonder the system said this was welfare; it seemed it didn't lie.

It was just that a task like having a romance was indeed hard to accept; the good news was that it could be replaced, so the misunderstanding was resolved.

But speaking of which, there was a directional attribute enhancement card for beauty in the task.

"System, my beauty is already at the exclamation mark level; can it really be improved again? Won't it be a waste?" Miss Luo Quan asked the question in confusion, while also being very curious about how good-looking she would be if she raised it another level.

"From the perspective of Earth's history, the host's beauty has already reached the peak level of humanity, comparable to Daji of the Shang Dynasty and Helen of Ancient Greece, and can be listed in the human race's history books."

"What kind of metaphors are these? Why isn't one of them a good woman?" Miss Luo Quan's face sank.

Although pushing the destruction of a dynasty or a country entirely onto a woman was a very irresponsible behavior.

However, in the eyes of the general public, Daji and Helen were synonymous with "femme fatale" and "disaster to the country and people," and their reputations weren't too good.

She certainly didn't want to become such a synonym.

"In fact, the host should be even more beautiful than these people; although I haven't seen them, their beauty brought destruction and war, while you have the ability to call for love and peace."

"Haha, I love hearing that." Hearing the system's flattery, Miss Luo Quan immediately beamed with joy.

Calling for love and peace—this could be considered a skill that the most beautiful in the world should have.

However, the system soon added: "Of course, this is only from the perspective of Earth."

"You are the most beautiful on Earth now, but in the universe, it might not be so top-notch, so there is still considerable room for improvement."

"Are there other intelligent beings in the universe?" Miss Luo Quan paused after speaking and answered herself: "There should be, right? After all, the universe is so big; even the Milky Way where Earth is located is just an insignificant little place in the vast universe, and even the entire Virgo Supercluster is the same."

"Indeed, the universe is big, and there are many lives; the host is just the most beautiful among the seven billion Earthlings."

"Although the system doesn't have the ability to let you cultivate and become stronger, in terms of beauty and wisdom, it can help you make a big improvement; as long as you are lucky, this improvement has no upper limit."

"You say it like I was born with insufficient intelligence."

Miss Luo Quan chuckled, suddenly feeling inspired, and went to the window, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.

"You say, if I improve another level, will this appearance make the moon come to me too?"

This was the famous quote of the peerless beauty Audrey Hepburn, full of romanticism.

Once, she also made countless people infatuated with her, and even after her death, she made future generations remember her beauty forever.

"Physically speaking, it's difficult; according to the law of universal gravitation and Einstein's theory of relativity, as long as an object's mass is large enough, it can generate gravity that pulls the moon."

"However, for this, you need your face to be thick enough."

"Alright, you can shut up." The romantic sentiment that had just risen in Miss Luo Quan was immediately poured cold; this system really didn't look at the occasion when it spoke.

"By the way, there's still one draw opportunity left; draw it quickly and see what good things can come out."

"Start drawing…… obtained one tube of 'Gentle as Jade' ointment!"

"What is this thing?" Miss Luo Quan picked up this ointment, which was about the length of a palm, and asked.

"A type of body lotion; you know 'gentle fragrance and soft jade,' right? Applying this ointment can make the skin softer and smoother, increasing the tactile feel."

"In addition, when doing dance movements, it can also be easier; it is a good helper for fighting muscle and bone aging, but there is not much change in appearance."

"Sounds useful, but it seems not that useful." Miss Luo Quan muttered, squeezed out a little of the ointment, and applied it to the back of her hand.

It was indeed smoother, but she had the same effect after applying Dabao SOD Honey, and even if she didn't apply anything, she was quite soft and smooth.

Applying this "Gentle as Jade" ointment didn't seem to have much use, and no one could touch her; touching herself felt too strange.

After repeated confirmation, Miss Luo Quan judged that this thing was a chicken rib with a little bit of use.

If she needed to dance and do a high-difficulty movement in the future, this "Gentle as Jade" ointment would still have some use.

Two random draws didn't bring any particularly big improvement.

But at least it gave her a very considerable thought: earning twenty billion USD in three years would allow her to obtain three attribute enhancement cards, which belonged to a deal where failure wasn't a loss and completion was a blood profit.

Overall, it was still acceptable.

With the hit of "A Bite of Chinese Cuisine," the time also came to the tail end of early December.

The production of "Frozen" had entered the final stage, and Miss Luo Quan's closing masterpiece of the year had finally entered the countdown.

However, it would still be half a month before the release.

Universal, as one of the producers, had already begun to build momentum for this film.

"A subversive anti-trope masterpiece."

"A beautiful fairy tale of sisters."

"Absolutely shocking special effects scenes."

"Wonderful combination of sound and picture."

Various promotional slogans appeared in every corner of the internet, and the two leads, Miss Luo Quan and Angela, even hit the Twitter hot search as "Beautiful Sisters."

Of course, it also led to a question: where did Leon go? ===== CHAPTER 616 =====
