Chapter 93

Regarding whether there was a resonance or not, Sister Yanzi thought Bai Liang was joking with her again, and sighed helplessly as she continued pondering:

"How can I possibly spend one hundred thousand yuan where it matters most?"

She thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to make one hundred thousand yuan go further.

To be precise, it was less than one hundred thousand.

Bai Liang had been spending money recently, and he'd only just taken her out for a wild feast.

While eating, Sister Yanzi had actually been quite happy, thinking that since "The Mindless Master" had done so well, her boss's popularity and traffic had climbed another level.

But now she was already feeling pained! If she'd known, she never would've eaten that meal—it cost several thousand yuan!

Still, Bai Liang truly trusted her, saying all the money he had left could be handed over to her to manage.

This made Sister Yanzi feel even worse, and she couldn't help but contact Yang Xing, hoping to get some "wise counsel" from the senior.

Yang Xing:....... I'm just a seasoned agent, not a god, little sister.

One hundred thousand, still less than that? You two might as well go buy some pork.

Since even Yang Xing couldn't help, Sister Yanzi briefly considered using her own savings to cover it.

Her personal savings were far more than Bai Liang's meager amount.

Just as she was about to become the first entertainment industry agent to "pay to work," Bai Liang's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Great Immortal, are you in Shanghai?"

"I am. Want to squad up?" Bai Liang's eyes lit up, his fingers itching.

"No, your pro player registration's done—come wear the team uniform for a character photo shoot. Are you on set?"

"Pretty much. I'm about to join the 'A Smile Is All It Takes' set."

The moment Bai Liang said the name, Wang Young Master paused, "Which set?"

"A Smile Is All It Takes... you know this one?"

"Hey! How could I not know? I'm going to make a cameo myself!" Wang Young Master exclaimed in surprise.

Huh?

Bai Liang was puzzled—he hadn't heard they were bringing in a real rich kid for a cameo, and the movie hadn't even started shooting yet, so what cameo?

Over an hour later, he got into Wang Young Master's luxury car and headed first to shoot the pro player character photos.

That was easy to handle—he didn't even need much makeup, just a quick touch-up.

Besides, Bai Liang had originally been a male model!

Posing for photos, he'd done that for over a month.

His expressions and postures were far more natural than those stiff pro players.

While Wang Young Master was shooting, Bai Liang curiously wandered around the esports base, where a group of internet-addicted teens grinned at him.

He was curious, but those internet-addicted teens were even more curious.

This guy was so handsome he didn't even belong on the same plane as them—was he also a pro?

"Oh no, the esports looks ceiling is about to be shattered!"

"So good-looking and not becoming a star? Instead he's stuck here playing esports?"

"Our female captain's eyes are glued to him—if he's in the starting lineup, I'm definitely not standing next to him for the group photo."

"........"

Last time Lin Gengxin streamed, Bai Liang hadn't shown his face, so it was normal they didn't recognize this "unknown" actor.

"Can I borrow a computer and play a match?"

"Of course! Absolutely! Brother, use mine."

After he borrowed a computer, a crowd gathered behind him watching—anyone seeing it would've thought he was there for a trial.

He logged into his account with ease; his Supreme King rank seemed to confirm he was truly here for a trial.

But after just one game, the internet-addicted teens' gazes toward him softened.

His skill level was average.

Good thing—he was handsome but not insanely good; that would've been unjust.

Of course, Bai Liang's average skill was only average compared to these top-tier pro players.

Against ordinary players, he could still command thunder and lightning.

In the entertainment industry, he'd likely have no rivals at all.

Those celebrity gamers—like Jie Lun, Zeng Xiao Xian, Yi Bo, Jun Kai—they probably couldn't even match his one hand.

Lin Gengxin, that noob, was even less of a match.

"How'd the trial go?" Wang Sicong walked over after the photos, joking.

A bespectacled man nearby, apparently the manager, immediately chimed in: "Brother Liang's gaming skills are seriously impressive—he could join our team as a starter right away! We've got a shot at this year's S Championship!"

Bai Liang, who was drinking water: Spat!

What a "Brother Liang"! What a "S Championship"!

No wonder he could become a manager!

The internet-addicted teens stared at their manager Su Xiaoluo with strange eyes—can't you see?

This guy's a Wei Zhongxian of esports!

How can you possibly build a good team with scum like this?!

After messing with the mindset of those internet-addicted teens, the two headed together to the familiar yet unfamiliar set of "A Smile Is All It Takes."

It really was that set—but they were filming a movie.

On the way, Bai Liang learned why Wang Young Master had suddenly shown up for a cameo—it was because his family had invested in the film.

Wang Young Master, still active on the internet frontline, still loved being in the spotlight and was ready to make his screen debut.

He was playing himself—purely authentic.

"I heard from Lin Gengxin that you're amazing at acting—teach me?"

At this moment, Young Master Wang, for his first time acting, still seemed somewhat eager, his whole demeanor slightly excited.

"Sure~"

"By the way, how are you getting along in this production?"

"What do you mean, 'getting along'?" Bai Liang was puzzled, unsure what he meant.

"Last time you played a game and brought six girls along—six in one—totally blew up the livestream. How about this?"

Ah, Little Bear shrugged, not knowing how to answer.

This guy seemed obsessed with "picking up girls."

After all, he had once confidently told Bai Liang his ultimate pick-up line: "Hi, I'm Wang Sicong."

But it was instantly shattered by Bai Liang's efficiency… because he didn't even need to say his name.

As for how he's doing in this production? That depends on Bai Liang's performance today.

Young Master Wang didn't press the issue, then remembered something and suddenly asked:

"How much money do you usually spend on trending topics?"

"I didn't spend any."

"You're a celebrity and you don't spend money on marketing?"

"My money works."

Fine, but that actually sounded kind of right.

Young Master Wang shook his head helplessly:

"Bro, today I'm giving you a trending topic—luckily, it might even be number one! You're the first celebrity in the entertainment industry to become a professional player. Traffic will come, right? Esports fans aren't like those mindless fanatics in entertainment who mindlessly exploit fans, but they definitely bring tons of heat."

"Number one trending? That's insane."

"Big bro, I spent money—what did you think?"

Bai Liang nodded. So this was creating joy with salary—simple and brutal.

It saved him trouble; otherwise, seeing Sister Yanzi so downcast, he might have actually had to fly to Macau to get money from Mr. He.

As for this "number one trending" the other guy mentioned… he wasn't quite sure.

But Bai Liang wanted to call Sister Yanzi, to tell her not to overthink it.

After all,

When fortune arrives, heaven and earth all lend their strength!
