Chapter 1304: Script World

If you guess correctly, you'll make a fortune later.

People used to say that if you find the windfall, even pigs can fly.

Xia Jie's judgment is still not bad.

Qian Xue got up again, preparing to leave.

It's fine, I'm leaving.

This time Xia Jie didn't stop her.

Come on, I wish you success.

Qian Xue vanished in the living room, and Xia Jie thought of Han Xu and his companions.

I don't even know how they're doing now.

Then she threw the matter behind her.

Looking for an otaku?

Or I should go play in the virtual world and see if I can find an honest person.

She thought of it and did it, buying a recovery pod right away and then entering a virtual world.

Then she casually picked one and dove in.

After entering, she discovered it was a game world simulating the development of the Taiyangxi.

She was already tired of space life, so she quit right away.

Then she chose a story-based virtual world that pays a wage.

Playing an extra, 500 per day.

After entering, she discovered she was truly an extra, without even a name.

Moreover, she had no front-facing role, being completely a background prop.

She is now playing a student, a classmate of the protagonist.

And this world is a nostalgic true/false young master story.

It tells the story of the true young master being found and then abused by the adopted son.

That's the original story; now the true young master is the protagonist, in a script bought at great expense by a wealthy person.

Moreover, the boss bought a system plug-in for himself; no one knows exactly what it is.

Entering the classroom, Xia Jie sat next to a male extra.

She chose this guy because he looked like an honest person.

Which kid nowadays studies seriously in the virtual world?

This kid is the one, lying on the desk studying very seriously.

Xia Jie moved over.

Hey, classmate, what are we doing?

He's still an old extra.

You don't need to worry about anything; just don't get close to the main characters.

We are extras, so we need to have the awareness of an extra.

After school, we can just mess around; outside the plot, this world is a normal life world.

Xia Jie picked up a book, covered her face with it, then moved close to the other's head.

What are you doing? Looking so seriously?

The other handed Xia Jie a book.

"The Actor's Self-Cultivation".

Although we are extras, we also need a heart for improvement.

Maybe one day we can get a role.

Then he sized up Xia Jie.

You're pretty good-looking, with the potential of a female lead.

So you should also work hard.

Protagonist?

Xia Jie shook her head.

I don't want to be the protagonist; I heard it's 18+ and requires sacrifice.

Some bosses are still perverts, playing wildly.

The boy realized she had misunderstood.

That's your misunderstanding.

At special times, they use virtual persons as substitutes.

Of course there are also full-scene actors, but those are special actors.

There aren't many.

Although people in the virtual world are casual, that's only when both like each other; it's natural.

People who don't mind at all are still few.

Xia Jie continued.

So you don't mind if your partner is an actress?

The boy answered without hesitation, firmly.

That's impossible; I work in this industry, I know how chaotic it is.

I want to find a partner; I still want to find someone more normal.

Xia Jie said irritably.

Then you still want me to be the female lead?

The male student was curious.

You came over to be an extra—don't you want to be an actress?

Xia Jie shook her head.

No, that's not it!

Her voice still held a hint of coquettish annoyance.

You really just came to be an extra?

Purely!

The male student took out another novel.

Then read this to kill time.

Reading a novel? Xia Jie found it boring.

This male student is quite interesting.

Sigh, you're an actor—doesn't your girlfriend mind?

The male student.

I haven't...

No, what does she care?

Aren't you bothered that your partner is an actress? Naturally, women also mind if their partner is an actor.

Otherwise, you're playing double standards?

The male student grabbed her.

You just don't get it—I have no partner, so naturally no one minds, and being a good actor means you never lack partners.

Because you women chase after stars.

Maybe I could still find a pretty good partner.

Xia Jie had a black line across her face.

Isn't that still double standards?

The male student.

This is reality.

Reality is, most women don't care about chastity, and even some skin-colored species don't care.

But men care about this, or rather, most men care about their partner's chastity.

This is all from experience, backed by strict data.

So actresses, many have fixed prices.

Male actors don't have such concerns.

You little shit, you're right—she has no concept of chastity.

For men, there's also no chastity requirement; instead, we hope they're more skilled.

This is the difference in thinking between men and women, right?

Why do you men place so much importance on chastity?

The male student chatted with Xia Jie like they were talking about everyday matters.

Because the other person has little experience, there's not much to pick or compare.

It's hard to develop divided loyalties.

If an experienced person finds a man, during their life together, would she compare?

Would she feel unsatisfied?

Because she has experienced better.

It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to simple.

Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?

You little shit, what you say makes a lot of sense—I can't refute it.

Because she will compare, she will feel unsatisfied.

This is also why she feels terrible.

It's too much, even to the point of numbness, even needing special stimulation to satisfy countless desires.

Her psychology is also slowly becoming deviant.

Men's and women's perspectives are indeed different.

The two of them gradually talked more and more.

Only when the school bell rang did they end, still wanting more.

As the male student left, he reminded.

If you want to find a pure-hearted man, go find those in industries and people without complicated relationships.

The more complicated the relationships, the harder it is to be pure-hearted.

Society is a big dye vat; those with complicated relationships have seen too much, experienced too much, and can't stay pure-hearted.

After Xia Jie stepped out of the school gate, she was still recalling his words.

Turns out, socializing isn't as admired as one might think.

She stepped on the man's red line—no wonder no one would give her their true heart.

No wonder Han Xu and the others were so indifferent toward her.

I am merely a tool, so naturally I receive the treatment of a tool.
