Chapter 131: Rolling to the End, Having Everything

Jin Li received first-hand news from Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang and was somewhat surprised.

She asked repeatedly, "Has Director Zhong already Match Match Match Match Match Made the final decision?"

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang immediately took a screenshot of their WeChat chat interface and sent it to her.

Sister Fang: 【For a person like Director Zhong to make such a promise, even if it's not set in stone, he surely wouldn't go back on his word easily, right?】

Jin Li: 【Since he's already said as much, he shouldn't change it again.】

After finishing her chat with Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang, Jin Li lowered her head to look at the test paper again and suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

Even though she would only be playing a supporting role, she felt the wait was worth it.

But if she could play the lead...

Who would refuse a lead role?

A famous, great director, filming a character biography with distinct features, and she would be playing the female protagonist.

Jin Li took a deep breath; for her, this role carried both the expectation of taking a step further and the pressure as towering as a mountain!

Regardless, she would just charge ahead.

Thinking of this, Jin Li turned pressure into motivation and started her live stream.

【First!!】

【You started the stream so early today, opening it in the morning; I suddenly have a guess.】

【No need to guess, our daughter will definitely be streaming all day today!】

【Roll, just roll as hard as you can!】

Jin Li started the stream on a workday, and netizens noticed that the friends coming to banter seemed to have increased.

Relying on a vague premonition, some netizens quickly exchanged secret signals in the barrage.

Oh, it turns out they are high school graduates who just finished the National College Entrance Examination!

【Friends, how did your test papers go this year?】

【Pretty good, I could finally understand the math and Chinese sections~】

【With the popularization of the internet and the application of artificial intelligence, more and more questions can be answered quickly; so, will our questions become fewer and fewer?】

【Not really~ Unemployment and employment rates are being fiercely challenged by artificial intelligence!】

【Off-topic! Fail!】

【Stop scolding, stop scolding; it was hard enough to understand the essay, but I ended up writing off-topic T^T】

【Astuvie: After all, the ultimate goal of technological development is to let people better become human. Turning machines into humans is truly meaningless.】

【This argument is great; who said it?】

【Uh, the new plot of Arknights...】

【I'm devastated; if I had known, I would have grinded the game before the exam! I, a fellow Arknights player, refuse to accept this!】

Jin Li opened "Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulation" and glanced at the barrage before intending to do problems, discovering everyone was discussing essay topics from all over the country.

Some even asked if Jin Li wanted to write an essay together.

Jin Li had recently been studying science subjects and hadn't organized or summarized liberal arts yet, so she hurriedly refused upon seeing this.

She said four words simply and straightforwardly: "I am trash."

While saying this, she waved her hands and continued to add four more words: "Can't do it, can't do it."

【Lying flat, rotting away.】

【I am trash _(: 3」∠)_】

【Same here.】

But while saying this, Jin Li lowered her head, picked up the "Five-Three" book, and quickly solved a physics problem.

A student who had just finished the exam immediately calculated it and stated:

【She got it right, her problem-solving speed is very fast!】

Other netizens commented one after another—

【Some people are trash on the surface, but are actually 'roll-dogs' in reality.】

【As everyone knows, if a 'roll-dog' rolls to the end, they have everything. If a 'lick-dog' licks to the end, they have nothing!】

【Heh, you guys must have slept in class during the day and studied by candlelight at night to challenge the limits of the human body when you were in school, right?】

【So, I am the only one who is truly trash.】

The netizens teased each other, while Jin Li kept grinding.

She quickly finished a set of physics problems and then rapidly finished a set of math problems.

When doing physics problems, her speed was normal to fast.

But when doing math problems, Jin Li became more courageous the more she did, with a near-zero error rate and a speed so fast it was abnormal, as if she didn't need to think.

【I feel like Li Bao is becoming more and more fierce at doing problems...】

【Family, why do I feel like she has become stronger again? Can grinding problems really make you stronger and stronger?!】

【Terrifying, I actually felt the Art of War from her!】

【Sir, what is your insight?】

【The momentum of breaking the problems is like military strategy: as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as immovable as a mountain, as difficult to know as the shadows, and as moving as a thunderbolt!】

【Too! Strong!】

【I did poorly on this year's exam; I've decided to study with the streamer and fight again next year!】

A day passed quickly.

The netizens guessed right; Jin Li really did study for a whole day!

From morning to afternoon, she was studying the entire time.

This Match Match Match Match Match Made the netizens who watched the stream all day feel uncomfortable.

Originally, they intended to play while watching the stream.

But every time they took a break from gaming, watching TV shows, or reading manga, they would glance at Jin Li studying with focused concentration.

Unknowingly, they also picked up a book and started reading.

The environment can truly infect a person!

By nighttime.

Jin Li quickly finished a chemistry test paper and immediately picked up physics literature to read.

When she started reading the physics literature, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

【Finally, she's not doing test papers anymore; the test paper maniac has started to rest.】

【You guys are so naive; look at what she's reading? Physics literature; can you understand it?】

【The more I understand, the more desperate I feel...】

And while Jin Li was reading the physics literature.

On the other side, Xue Hao's research team fell into a stalemate again.

Last time, his idea was very good.

The team's line of thought shifted to which nuclei from the Mickey Mickey Mouse retina to the brain participated in the physiological process of light-regulating blood glucose metabolism.

The hypothalamus is an important area for regulating body metabolism.

Among them, ipRGCs send dense nerve fibers to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus.

Therefore, his team separately destroyed or used chemical genetic means to manipulate and study the SCN and SON nuclei that receive ipRGC projections.

Finally, the team discovered that the process of light acutely reducing blood glucose tolerance is independent of the biological clock rhythm system.

Instead, it is directly mediated by the neural circuit projected by ipRGCs to the SON!

This is a very important discovery!

Next, it was a long process of tracking, detecting, and researching to discover the neural circuit mediating this process.

Tracking had been going on for half a month.

Just repeating the mediation process consumed a long time.

Xue Hao kept telling himself that being able to make a discovery was already very good, better than a long time of getting nothing.

After finishing a day of research in the laboratory, Xue Hao returned to his dormitory.

He opened his phone, wanting to chat with peers to see if he could get any inspiration.

At this moment, a notification from Maozhao Live popped up on his phone.

【The "Jin Li" you follow has started streaming!】

"Jin Li?"

Xue Hao's expression shifted slightly; he recognized this streamer, as it was in her live stream last time that he gained a lot of inspiration.

Xue Hao clicked into the live stream and found she was reading physics literature materials.

He couldn't help but nod; this knowledge was finally a little bit high-end.

While watching Jin Li's live stream, he also entered deep thought.

The inspiration in his mind gathered bit by bit, and just when it seemed he was about to make a discovery, Jin Li turned off the live stream!

Following her closing it, Xue Hao's inspiration also disappeared.

But Xue Hao didn't mind.

Inspiration, after all, is fleeting.

He hurriedly picked up paper and pen to record that fleeting thought; if he couldn't figure it out this time, maybe he would figure it out next time while watching.

The next day.

Jin Li received a notification from the production team of *Ruyi Ruyi Langjun*; all cast and crew members were to participate in an interview with official state media.

Having sold distribution rights to five countries, a unique achievement this year, *Ruyi Ruyi Langjun* was qualified to be interviewed by state media.

Because it was a last-minute interview notification, actors needed to cancel some of their scheduled commitments.

But for Jin Li, this didn't cause much trouble.

She set off directly from her apartment and, with Xiao Cheng driving, arrived at the interview site.

Director Li, Screenwriter He, and Producer Zhang were already on site.

Jin Li casually scanned their physiognomy; all were "brimming with high spirits, with good fortune coming in pairs."

Not only them, but the staff who arrived afterward, including the two leads Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen and Chen Geng, all had much the same physiognomy.

She pondered that human Qi and fortune can influence one another.

The entire *Ruyi Ruyi Langjun* crew had seen an upward trend in their fortune recently.

Although she could not see her own physiognomy, perhaps she was also in a stage of rising fortune.

The scale of the interview was neither small nor large.

Because Princess Liu Ci, played by Jin Li, was so incredibly popular, she was asked quite a few questions, though they were within a normal range.

As for Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen and Chen Geng, as the lead actress and actor of the drama, there were also many questions for them.

After the interview concluded, the entire crew held an offline gathering.

At the dining table, Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen whispered to Jin Li.

"You've already received the message from my uncle, right?"

Jin Li nodded. "It was very surprising; I didn't expect him to choose me to play such an important role."

Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen: "Don't feel pressured. My uncle's eye for selecting actors is unparalleled. If he thinks you can do it, then you definitely can."

Jin Li smiled. "The pressure isn't on me. I don't mind; whether I film or not makes no difference to me. My career ambition isn't very high."

Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen was choked for words, thinking of the other members of Pink Girls.

Except for Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian, the others were all in a state of retirement and leisure.

They were of similar age, yet their careers and mindsets were completely different.

People, one must never compare.

Even among top-tier stars, comparing people can make one die of frustration!

Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen said: "When there's an opportunity, let's discuss the script. I will most likely be playing your deputy."

Jin Li asked: "My script is still the first draft; I haven't received the latest one. Do you have it?"

Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen said: "My uncle is only slow when revising the script. Since he said the script is already finished, it will be in your hands in the next few days."

Jin Li nodded and said: "Alright, we'll discuss it then. I just don't know the date for joining the crew?"

Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiwen thought for a moment. "Get ready; you'll definitely be in within half a month."

Jin Li's expression turned slightly solemn.

She thought of that huge pile of heavy physics literature at home.

After reading for these past few days, she had only finished about 1/3; there was still a long way to go before finishing it.

It seems she needs to work much harder!

After the gathering ended, Jin Li had just returned to her apartment when she received a call from her manager.

Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Lingfang said happily: "Go open the video website and take a look; your public welfare charity short film is online!"

Jin Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "So fast?"

During the interview in the afternoon, she had already anticipated that her fortune had been good lately.

Now it seemed this fortune was reflected in her career luck.

Once the public welfare charity short film went online.

It was all released on the online platform at once; there was no such thing as releasing them one by one.

The charity short film sparked a heated discussion across major video websites and social media platforms, sweeping across the entire internet!

What netizens paid attention to first was the charity short film shot by the top-tier boy band March Days.

The director was very good at capturing the youthful, upward vitality of the boy band, setting their theme as "Love Life."

And this short film was shot in partnership with Xi Xi Sister Meng Ze.

Jin Li hadn't even watched the finished product of her own short film yet when she was bombarded by Xi Xi Sister Meng Ze in the group chat.

Sister Meng Meng: 【How is it, how is it? Is it cool?】

She first watched the film Xi Xi Sister Meng Ze shot.

Under the theme of "Love Life," it was about encouraging everyone to go out and exercise, not to stay at home, and not to be addicted to the internet.

In life, there is also infinite splendor.

And the footage assigned to Xi Xi Sister Meng Ze was her heroic posture of outdoor rock climbing.

In the 【Pink Girls】 group chat.

The others first showered her with fierce praise before stating their true thoughts.

Tongtong: 【Not as cool as the boy band】

Sister Sister Zhenzhu: 【A single green leaf among four red flowers】

NANA: 【It's quite good; this counts as special treatment, setting off your heroic and spirited look】

Jin Li: 【So you shot indoor rock climbing; I feel indoor yoga would have better suited your temperament】

Sister Meng Meng: 【I thought so too. Originally, I was shooting yoga, but then the director called me back to reshoot, feeling it was better to shoot indoor rock climbing to better fit the theme shot by the March Days boy band.】

The shooting of the "Love Life" theme was standard and conventional, without errors, and there were no negative reviews on the internet, but there weren't many rave reviews either.

Most of it came from the fans' own spontaneous promotion.

After watching all the short films, netizens spent the night voting for the TOP 1 in their hearts.

The "Strive to Study" theme shot by Jin Li unexpectedly won with a high lead in votes!

Netizen's divine comment—

【Watching tragic movies didn't make me cry, but watching a five-minute short film broke my defenses!】

Many netizens expressed their agreement one after another.

The "Strive to Study" theme was directed by Director Zhong Zhong Zhong Zhong Zhong Zhong Zhong Wentai.

There weren't many fancy camera shots; many were single takes, and the visuals were simple and sincere.

At the beginning.

It was a shot of a little girl in a mountainous area, struggling to go to school.

More and more people work in cities and bring their children to the city to study, and many netizens also come from cities.

This gives many people a kind of illusion.

As if all regions are fully urbanized and there are no more villages in the world.

But the facts are not so.

Every year, a large number of young cadres are assigned to poverty-stricken counties in various places to alleviate poverty; there are plenty of families with a monthly income of only one thousand.

One cannot assume everyone has the same standard of living just because one lives in an urbanized place.

When you are enjoying yourself, there are actually many people still suffering.

The little girl in the short film lived in such an environment where going to school was inconvenient.

In the poor mountainous area, just walking to school took an hour.

The mountain roads were rugged, making it impossible to ride a bicycle.

Even if one could ride, the family had no money to buy one.

Heavy rain, floods, droughts, walking at night... none of these could stop the children's determination to go to school.

The little girl knew that only by studying hard could she walk out of the big mountains.

Some netizens, seeing such scenes, couldn't help but fall into memories.

【My hometown was in this kind of environment. Back then, I didn't want to go to school and was always whipped by my parents to go, saying only by going to school could one have a future. Later, I walked out of the big mountains!】

【Studying shouldn't be the only standard for whether a person's life is successful, but 'studying changes destiny' is an eternal truth!】

【My hometown only had one iron cableway leading to the outside world; when I was young, I went to school via the iron cable.】

The final shot of the little girl.

Was her lifting those sincere, big eyes, with a bright red scarf pinned to her clothes, looking at those rows of books.

In her eyes, there flickered a longing for knowledge!

The scene shifted, coming to the shot where Jin Li was.
