"Do you think celebrities are high and mighty?"

"Do you think celebrities are out of reach?"

"Today, let us witness another side of celebrities!"

"Dear audience, welcome to the live broadcast of the large-scale reality show, 'The Down-to-Earth Superstar'!"

"Here, they will shed their celebrity halos, take on new identities, and embark on a new journey!"

On screen, the host said loudly.

"Let us welcome the six guests of this season!"

"The fairy who doesn't eat human food—Liu Liu Liu Tianxian!"

"The pop music diva from Hong Kong—Deng Deng Deng Ziqi!"

"The iron lady who possesses both beauty and strength—Boss Yang!"

"The crosstalk comedian from a poor background—Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue!"

"The mid-generation idol singer of the Chinese music scene—Hua Hua Chenyu!"

"And the last one..."

The host deliberately kept everyone in suspense before continuing.

"The hottest idol star of the moment, the 'CEO Archetype' specialist—Su Meng!"

Following his words, the individuals appeared on screen one by one, and the live stream's comment section instantly became lively.

"Liu Liu Liu Tianxian! Hahaha, I really want to see how Liu Liu Liu Tianxian falls from being a fairy to the mortal world."

"The final winner of this season is definitely Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, is that even a question? He comes from the countryside; he is the most down-to-earth."

"Wow, why do I feel like Boss Yang's figure is getting better and better?"

"Su Meng? That representative of 'paralyzed-face acting' who has been the hottest these past two years? The Su Meng who can't act anything except a CEO?"

"What can Su Meng do? Seeing his face makes me angry. Besides being handsome, what else does he have?"

"The 'CEO Archetype' specialist, you want him to be down-to-earth? How is that possible?"

"Brother Su Meng, go for it! We will always support you!"

"Brainless fan above, confirmed!"

"Heh, scripts, it's all scripts. Reality shows are all scripted!"

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Looking at the camera in front of him, Su Meng fell into deep thought.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Meng finally understood what had happened.

Simply put, he had transmigrated.

And his transmigrated identity was a "heavenly start"—he was a top-tier "fresh meat" idol who had exploded in popularity over the last two years!

However, his fame was a mix of praise and criticism.

Because he was the representative of "paralyzed-face" acting, only capable of playing roles like CEOs.

Thus, he was also known as the "CEO Archetype" specialist.

And this time, he was participating in a reality show called "The Down-to-Earth Superstar."

This was a professional experience show that invited six celebrities, each of whom had to experience ordinary jobs.

However, the show was broadcast live throughout, and the celebrities invited were of high status, which attracted significant attention.

"Next, let's draw their professions!"

The host took out a box, shook it, and said with a smile.

"Dozens of ordinary professions have been prepared inside. Each superstar will obtain their first identity through a draw."

"Who wants to go first?"

"I'll go first!" Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue jumped out directly.

While shaking the box, he said cheerfully.

"As everyone knows, I come from the countryside, and before I became a crosstalk comedian, I did odd jobs at a restaurant. I've done a lot of work and suffered a lot."

"So for this show, I have a bit of an advantage. Basically, most of the jobs I've already... holy crap!"

He opened the slip of paper and was instantly stunned.

A moment later, Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue tremblingly showed his slip to the camera, his face full of misery.

"Director, can I draw again? I'm not afraid of hard work, but I... I'm afraid of heights!"

His performance left many people stunned.

They subconsciously looked at the slip, seeing three large characters written on it—Spider-Man!

Instantly, the live stream exploded.

"Holy crap! No way, starting with a big move right away? I feel bad for Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue."

"Asking because I don't know, what is a Spider-Man?"

"Let me educate you: a Spider-Man is someone who works in the air, climbing the exterior of city skyscrapers to clean windows. It's not only very hard work, but it also carries a certain level of danger."

"Rationally, I should feel bad for Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, but why can't I help but want to laugh out loud? Hahaha..."

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue muttered a few words and retreated with a miserable face.

The second person to draw was Liu Liu Liu Tianxian.

Her image in film and television had always been ethereal, and her background was excellent; in ancient times, she would have been a proper young lady of a noble family.

But today, the fairy falls to the mortal world? This made many people curious.

A moment later, Liu Liu Liu Tianxian slowly revealed her slip, which clearly read—Restaurant Dishwasher!

A dishwasher? The live stream instantly became joyful.

For the netizens, the contrast was simply too great.

An ethereal little fairy going to wash dishes? Just thinking about that image is exciting!

In an instant, countless people decided to follow Liu Liu Liu Tianxian's live stream.

"Next, Su Meng!"

Following the director's voice, everyone's gaze turned to Su Meng.

This paralyzed-face... oh no, this "CEO Archetype" specialist, what kind of down-to-earth profession would he draw?

New book setting sail, begging for all kinds of data!

Su Meng walked to the box with an expressionless face and reached in to stir things around.

In reality, he wasn't feeling the slightest bit flustered.

To these genuine big stars, doing ordinary jobs seemed to lower their status.

But for a fake big star like him, I was just an ordinary person in my past life, wasn't I?

A moment later, he finally grabbed a slip of paper.

He opened it, and Su Meng was instantly dumbfounded.

Seeing his expression, the camera tactfully moved closer.

Suddenly, the words on the slip appeared in the live stream—Musician!

This profession... many people immediately lost interest.

They came to watch this show to see stars being down-to-earth.

But the profession of a musician was still too distant for the average person.

Besides, Su Meng was at least someone in the entertainment industry; wasn't being a musician just his area of expertise?

What was there to watch?

But what they didn't know was that Su Meng was already a bit panicked at this moment.

Musician? I haven't even had any contact with this stuff!

"Musician, what a great profession!"

Hua Hua Chenyu leaned over, his face full of envy.

"Su Meng, why don't we swap? I'll be the musician?"

Beside them, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi opened her mouth, but she held back.

Yet the envy in her eyes was not the least bit diminished.

Hearing him say this, Su Meng subconsciously wanted to nod.

That's right, if I can't do this one, I can just swap for another.

But just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding~ Your All-Around Entertainment Superstar System is officially activated. The novice gift pack has been issued; please check it!"

Sys... System?

How could Su Meng not know this term?

This was his golden finger arriving!

As expected, transmigration and golden fingers are a perfect match; the web novel authors from my past life didn't lie to me!

"Su Meng? Give me a straight answer, are we swapping or not?"

Seeing him remain silent, Hua Hua Chenyu was getting a bit impatient.

"No swap!"

Su Meng glared at him and refused without hesitation.

Swap my foot!

Mine is the All-Around Entertainment Superstar System! Isn't being a musician a piece of cake?

"Next, Hua Hua Chenyu!"

Just as Hua Hua Chenyu was about to speak, the director's voice interrupted him.

He snorted coldly and reached out to grab a slip of paper.

He opened it, and immediately started chuckling; the slip clearly read—Food Delivery Rider!

Food delivery rider? Seeing Hua Hua Chenyu's smiling face, many people were a bit confused.

Why are you so happy about being a food delivery rider?

Hua Hua Chenyu said triumphantly.

"Ordering a meal costs over 300 yuan, so shouldn't a delivery rider earn a hundred or so?"

"If I deliver 20 orders a day, after a month, excluding weekends, wouldn't I earn fifty or sixty thousand yuan?"

"For an ordinary person, fifty or sixty thousand a month is pretty decent, right?"

Hearing his way of calculating, the live stream fell silent.

After a long while, it suddenly exploded.

"Holy crap! Why do I have the urge to slap him? Is this even human talk?"

"Your family spends over 300 on a single delivery? What kind of household is that!"

"A delivery rider earns a hundred per order? 20 orders a day? And you get weekends off? Do you have some misunderstanding about this industry?"

"Heh, these stars really don't know the hardships of the common people; they really need to be taught a lesson."

"Nothing else to say, I'm just going to watch Hua Hua Chenyu's live stream and wait to see him get slapped in the face."

Ignoring the rest, Su Meng turned his attention to his system.

This system is very simple: as long as others show approval for his work or behavior, he can gain popularity points.

Popularity points can be used to draw prizes or purchase items in the shop.

Seeing the dazzling array of items in the shop, Su Meng was almost drooling.

God-level singing skills, god-level acting, god-level directing... they all looked extraordinary.

And many works from his past life were all there too.

With these, was he still afraid of not being able to make it in the entertainment industry?

But seeing his empty popularity points, Su Meng instantly sobered up.

The top priority was earning popularity points.

So he had to make the most of this show.

Especially since he started with the musician profession, there was a lot of potential there!

"System, open the novice gift pack!"

"Ding~ You have opened the novice gift pack and received the following rewards:"

"1. Skill—God-level Suona Mastery!"

"2. Item—100 Suona Tracks!"

What?

Suona?

That suona, known as the hooligan of the musical instrument world?

This starting skill seems a bit tricky to handle.

For a moment, Su Meng was a bit stunned.

"No way? Let me be a swimming pool lifeguard?"

An exclamation caught Su Meng's attention.

Looking up, he saw Boss Yang holding the slip, her face looking a bit awkward.

In the live stream, however, it was a scene of jubilation.

"Woohoo, this profession is perfect for Boss Yang!"

"A full-time swimsuit show, director, you know me!"

"They say Boss Yang is known as 'Big Honey,' it's time to show her real skills!"

"This live stream is interesting, must follow this one!"

Su Meng scratched his head; why did it feel like his live stream was the only one with nothing to watch?

Then what should I do about my popularity points?

New journey begins, begging for all kinds of data.
