Chapter 449

Bai Xiao Ling shook her head, looking perfectly calm.

"To be precise, before I started playing with you all, I'd already lost many times."

"Adding it all up, I've lost forty-eight rounds in a row!"

What the heck? The three big female stars were completely dumbfounded.

A moment later, Deng Ziqi cried out in grief and indignation.

"Da Mimi! It's all your fault! You you you… I'll scratch you to death!"

"Tee-hee-hee… stop scratching, it tickles to death… tee-hee-hee…"

"Confirmed! Tianxian-er, you're a little younger than me…"

"Wow, your skin is so nice…"

Ignoring the three of them roughhousing, Bai Xiao Ling by the table once again fell into deep thought.

"Lost forty-eight rounds in a row?"

"Where on earth did my heaven-defying luck run off to?"

……

"Where on earth did her heaven-defying luck run off to?"

In another dorm room, Su Meng was equally melancholy.

It wasn't the first or second time he'd borrowed Bai Xiao Ling's luck — one could say it never failed.

Yet this time, after losing four 12-point rolls in a row, he'd only gotten this?

Su Meng stared at the system reward interface with a forlorn face, on the verge of tears.

"System Reward 1: Film Special Effects Artists × 100"

"System Reward 2: Film Props Masters × 100"

Yes — Su Meng had borrowed Bai Xiao Ling's heaven-defying luck, spent a full twenty million popularity points, and only drawn these two rewards.

And there wasn't even a single "Thank You for Your Patronage"!

This really is a giant WTF moment.

Film special effects and prop-making are both part of the film industry's upstream and downstream chain.

As long as you have money, what kind of special effects and props can't be made?

Does the system need to specially reward them?

This is the reward for two hundred-pull draws?

If this isn't a BUG, what is it?

Thinking of the twenty million popularity points he'd painstakingly saved, Su Meng's heart ached.

What happened to Bai Xiao Ling today?

Why did this never-failing magic treasure fail?

No good, no good — still need to call and have a proper discussion.

Otherwise, if this question isn't sorted out, he won't be able to sleep tonight!

Think it, do it.

Su Meng pulled out his phone and dialed a video call.

……

"Xiao Ling, come play with us!"

Boss Yang ran over, grabbed Bai Xiao Ling, and started dragging her toward the bed.

Bai Xiao Ling looked her up and down, and her little face couldn't help but turn red.

"You… aren't you cold?"

"What's cold about it? I'm so hot I'm sweating!"

Boss Yang said dismissively, reaching out to pull Bai Xiao Ling.

"Ring-ring-ring~~~" Bai Xiao Ling's phone suddenly rang.

She hurriedly pulled out her phone and glanced at it.

"It's Teacher Su, I'll take this first."

"Su Meng?" Boss Yang's eyes lit up.

"I'll answer it for you! In the middle of the night, let's see what he wants!"

Saying so, she snatched the phone right out of her hand.

A moment later, she suddenly let out a shriek, her whole body turning pink.

She dove into the bed like a shot, burrowing under the covers and sealing herself in tight.

Bai Xiao Ling opened her mouth, then sorrowfully picked up her phone from the floor.

"Sure enough, my luck is bad — the phone got smashed too."

"Um… Teacher Su was on a video call just now, right?"

……

Without discussing it with Bai Xiao Ling, Su Meng indeed didn't sleep well all night.

Yes! No matter who asked, that was the reason!

Absolutely not for any other reason!

When he got up the next morning, Su Meng's eye circles had gone a bit dark.

"Su Meng, did you not sleep well last night?"

Liu Tianxian yawned, looking a bit listless too.

Su Meng wore a serious expression.

"Yes, I was thinking about a script last night, so I didn't sleep well."

"That's truly a coincidence." Liu Tianxian looked utterly amazed.

"Last night, Da Mimi was also thinking about a script, tossing and turning, unable to sleep."

"It made all of us unable to sleep well."

"By the way, when did she also want to become a screenwriter?"

"Really?" Su Meng still wore a serious expression.

"I spoke wrongly; last night I was thinking about a song!"

"Is it my song?" Deng Ziqi darted over, looking at him with hope.

Su Meng felt terrible all over.

No wonder they say, if you tell one lie, you must use countless lies to cover it up.

"No, it's Xiao Ling's song."

What? Deng Ziqi froze, her lips pouted, and she almost burst into tears.

"I knew it! I knew you didn't want me to sweep the download charts!"

"Sending three little loli girls to ambush me wasn't enough, so you sent Bai Xiao Ling too?"

Bai Xiao Ling walked over, a hint of a smile deep in her eyes.

"Teacher Su, is it really necessary to release my song so urgently?"

"Just practice for now. Su Meng thought quite a lot throughout the night."

"I'll give you a few songs later; you practice them first, but no need to rush the release."

"Release it after the heat from '《》' has passed."

"For the next year or two, your main focus will be the European and American markets."

Oh? A hint of contemplation flashed in Bai Xiao Ling's eyes.

After a moment, she nodded firmly.

"Alright, I will definitely act well!"

"Act what? You must sing well! Suppress the entire European and American music scene!"

Deng Ziqi waved her small fist, speaking fiercely.

"I spoke wrongly; it's sing well." Bai Xiao Ling smiled and offered no rebuttal.

Instead, a hint of astonishment flashed in Su Meng's eyes.

This girl is so smart!

"By the way, Su Meng, if Xiao Ling focuses on the European and American markets, then for the domestic music scene, is it left to me... hehehe..."
