Chapter 54: Many Fans

Yezi has very conflicted feelings about Susan; if one stands from her perspective, Susan killed Ai Ai in a scripted plot, but after all, that was just a scripted plot.

However, she should be acting angry, because according to the plot in this game, she did indeed kill Emily, who was her best friend.

Ai Ai, who was behind her, didn't feel much; the Lord of Calamity was right, Susan did something wrong, and spending her whole life by the Lord of Calamity's side, never seeing the sun again, is actually a punishment for her.

This might be even more terrifying than killing her.

Upon receiving the task, Yezi's first reaction was that it was difficult.

This must be a very difficult limited task: sneaking into the Club next door, and she doesn't know how to shoot at all.

In Tana City, shooting itself is a novelty, and only the wealthy can afford to learn it.

Even in the War Church, not everyone is qualified to learn shooting techniques; the Warriors find it useless and consider it a chore, and the guards don't need it, as they are considered expendable anyway.

Therefore, the only ones who can actually make use of firearms are the Police Station, which doesn't have many people, and various nobles.

To them, shooting is as important as horsemanship; both are entertainment activities that possess a noble style and can only be engaged in by those who possess wealth.

What does Yezi have?

She only knows how to dance... although dancing has earned her quite a bit of money, this can at most be considered middle class.

Being asked to do this task, she truly has no clue.

"I reckon this is just testing the task system. This game is real-time calculated to begin with, so it's normal for NPCs to give players tasks, but separate limited Hidden Tasks must have prerequisites. Look, Susan didn't look for anyone else, she specifically looked for you, which fully proves that you have already completed the prerequisites for the Hidden Task, so you will definitely be able to complete this task," Ai Ai analyzed. "My brother is a self-taught amateur, which is why he's testing it in such detail. If there were a big game company supporting this... forget it, don't count on other game companies. If any other company could make this game, they'd probably be crazily milking it for money; who would still bother to make good game content?"

For the first time, Chen Ai felt a bit of admiration for her older brother. Before, she only thought her brother was just a peripheral vendor with greasy hair. Don't look at the title Chen Zhi gave himself as CEO; in reality, he is just the legal representative of a peripheral company, and he didn't even make it down the road of financing.

Now it's different; such a person made such a world-class game, which really made Chen Ai look at him with new eyes.

Listening to Chen Ai's words, Yezi finally gained a little confidence.

Originally, the Theater owner Viktor had asked her to go and make contact with the noble circle today, so that in the future, the Emond Theater could have more support from the nobles.

Now she feels that it is not without hope.

When Yezi and Chen Ai finished dinner and went back, Viktor was already waiting by the carriage.

"Two beautiful ladies, I think you need to change your clothes, but we might be a bit short on time; you can change directly in the carriage. Don't worry, the windows have curtains, people outside cannot see you." In the past, Viktor also often took those actors to perform in small theaters opened by nobles, and changing clothes halfway through was truly too common.

Not expecting the time to be so tight, Yezi and Ai Ai got on the carriage immediately. At this moment, Yezi no longer had any psychological burden, because she felt that she would be able to complete the task very soon.

Inside the ballroom, Viscount Philip was talking to Baron Sorkins on the side about the dancers of the Emond Theater, "My daughter has always wanted to learn dance from that dancer from Xiahui. To be honest, I don't understand that kind of art, but I have to say, that dancer's figure is indeed quite good."

"The Emond Theater is cultivating her as their signature, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to get your hands on her. Besides, noble ladies and wives are all willing to find her for lessons; why should we provoke those women?" Sorkins did not like Viscount Philip, but in terms of status, he really had no way to influence this Viscount.

Viscount Philip smiled and said: "You are already the third person to say this to me. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I heard that the dancer cannot speak; it might also be because she hasn't learned our language here yet."

"That's not very clear. This dancer is quite low-key. It is said that there was a week before when she didn't perform at all, specifically to rehearse new dance segments. This time she took the stage, the women in my family all went to watch. If I hadn't said she would be coming here tonight, my family would probably be waiting outside the theater." Sorkins breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a fan of that dancer; ever since he saw her dance once, he felt that she was an angel from the human world.

That kind of holiness made him unwilling for this dancer to be tarnished in any way, especially by a noble like Philip.

It is said that a witch once killed several mistresses at Viscount Philip's banquet!

I don't know what Philip actually did to provoke even a witch.

So it is better to remind him not to have any crooked ideas.

Thinking of this, Sorkins touched the pistol at his waist; this is a symbol of status, and only someone like him can bring a firearm to a ball.

At this time, Yezi had already arrived at the ball venue. She was wearing a floor-length gown different from her usual attire, looking no different from those young ladies.

Ai Ai behind her was in the same attire; the two appeared in everyone's field of vision like a pair of sisters.

"Oh, my god, isn't that the dancer named Yezi?"

"It's her, I really want to learn how to dance from her."

"Even more beautiful than I imagined, I want to go find her for an autograph."

Yezi and Ai Ai never expected that a dancer could be so famous.

You have to know that in modern society, no matter how skilled a dancer is, they might not have as many fans as a random idol.

Even if that idol doesn't dance well, it doesn't matter; as long as they are an idol, they have already surpassed the vast majority of dancers.

Viktor hurriedly handed the invitation to the doorman, then led Yezi to the middle of the noble ladies.

"My beautiful ladies, let me introduce Yezi to you all. Everyone knows she is Xiahui People, so she might not be very clear about our etiquette here; please do not mind."

"How could we? Beautiful ladies have privileges." Lady Philip took Yezi's hand, looking left and right. If this dancer came to teach her daughter, perhaps her daughter could marry a Count or a Marquis in the future.

"This is Lady Philip, this is Lady Sorkins, and this is Lady Sorkins' sister, Lady Kane..." Viktor dutifully performed his introduction obligations, while simultaneously introducing those noble ladies to Yezi.
