Chapter 26: He didn't understand at all.
[Current character setting points: 3]
[Should I accept the new persona?]
Shen Jian: "Exchange."
[Hint: Consuming 1 Character Design Point, currently randomizing a character design card...]
[Hint: After the random selection is complete, please choose one item from the following four categories: A. Personality Traits, B. Areas of Talent, C. Life Identity, D. Overall Industry.]
A: Sigma (male).
B: A fashionable persona.
C: Down-to-earth.
D: Extremely polite.
Please select.
"Choose C, it's more down-to-earth."
Shen Jian looked at the options and made his choice without much consideration.
A Sigma man might be a big winner in the dating market, but he'd definitely be less successful in the entertainment industry.
As for his fashionable persona and exceptional politeness...
The former is not suitable for his current status and position, while the latter, although flawed, is one he doesn't like.
In the comment sections of many celebrities' videos, you can often see comments like this:
"He's incredibly polite to everyone; he's a really nice person."
"Did you see that? He stood up and bowed. That's good character!"
To be honest, being polite is certainly not a bad thing.
But the claim that he is extremely polite and has good character is simply fans pretending to be innocent for their idol.
If this were a reliable indicator of a person's character, there would be no such thing as celebrities whose careers have collapsed.
So Shen Jian ultimately chose to be down-to-earth.
Of the four options, this one is relatively more natural.
[Reminder: Selection complete. The "down-to-earth" persona is now complete.]
[Down-to-earth (Level 1) 0/100]
[Completion Reward: Reach Level 1 and gain 1 character point.]
[The relevant talent trees are not yet unlocked.]
Remaining points: 2
Should we continue exchanging character cards?
Or perhaps light up the talent tree?
Alternatively, you can consume 1 Character Point to upgrade "Public Speaking Skills" to Mastery.
Shen Jian looked at the prompt and thought for a moment.
Actually, he really wanted to have a persona related to the field of talent.
After unlocking the talent tree, you're sure to acquire some great skills.
Unfortunately, in the previous random match, his talent was a fashion persona, and he wasn't very interested in fashion.
There are currently 2 people still setting up points.
There are two options.
The first option is that he can choose to upgrade his oratory skills to the proficiency level now, which saves him the time of accumulating proficiency.
Then use the remaining 1 point to light up the next related talent, or you can light up the talent tree associated with "down-to-earth".
The second option is for him to randomly select a persona, and if he gets a good persona, he can unlock that person's talent tree.
Shen Jian thought for a moment.
Actually, he prefers the first option right now.
He understands the principle of not biting off more than he can chew.
If you can quickly improve your public speaking skills to a high level, you'll be perfectly capable of handling subsequent variety show appearances.
He can keep the remaining 1 point of his character profile for now and make a choice after accumulating more points.
As for the down-to-earth persona, Shen Jian felt there was no need to rush to unlock the talent tree.
Even though it was lit up, it didn't seem to help his career.
Of course, a down-to-earth persona is relatively more appealing.
Simply achieve the required completion rate to receive the reward.
Shen Jian: "Enhance your eloquence and performance skills."
[Hint: Consumes 1 Person Point to upgrade to Proficient Oratory Skills!]
[Eloquent Speaking Performance (Proficient)]
[Note: To upgrade to "Expert Level", you need 2 people to set up points, or to achieve (0/200) proficiency.]
[Character Design Points Remaining: 1]
Upgrade complete.
Shen Jian felt an itch in his cheeks and mouth.
An indescribable sensitivity arose spontaneously.
Although he didn't speak, he could sense the clarity that would come if he did.
So this is what it feels like to be eloquent.
If he had been in the same state as he is now during that previous live stream.
He was confident that the effect would be even more explosive.
Character Card:
[King of Jokes (Level 2): 23/200]
[Down-to-earth (Level 1): 0/100]
Looking at the new character design.
Shen Jian felt it was necessary to discuss this with his agent.
I took out my phone and sent a message in the group chat.
【Shenjian Business Group (7)】
[Shen Jian@Liangmu: Liang, how's my character design coming along?]
[Yang Tianzhen: With your messy fan profile, how could it be so fast?]
[Liangmu: Mr. Yang is right, it won't be that quick. Actually, you don't need to stand out too much yet. It's not too late to consider it after we've further increased our brand awareness.]
[Lin Youyou: Actually, you have some labels attached to you right now, like illiterate and meme queen.]
[Yang Tianzhen: Before you establish a new persona, you should first find a way to wash away the persona of being illiterate, understand?]
[Shen Jian: It's not hard to shed the illiterate persona. I'll just not be illiterate anymore.]
[Yang Tianzhen: ……]
[Lin Youyou: ...]
[Ryogi:...]
The group remained silent.
Is this something you can simply change by saying you're no longer illiterate?
[Yang Tianzhen: Then tell me, how are you not illiterate? Do you really think you can wash your name off by reciting some classical poems?]
[Yoshiki: Once a stereotype is formed, it's very difficult to remove, so this isn't a difficult task.]
[Shen Jian: If that doesn't work, how about I take the college entrance exam?]
[Yang Tianzhen: ……]
[Lin Youyou: ...]
[Liangmu@Shenjian: Forget about unrealistic ideas. I think we should be more down-to-earth and take it slow. I'll tell you what to do later.]
[Shen Jian: Be more down-to-earth?]
[Yoshiki: Hmm.]
[Shen Jian: Haha, see, you should have said so earlier! Being down-to-earth is good, I'm the most down-to-earth person ever.]
[Lin Youyou: ?]
Shen Jian turned off his phone with satisfaction.
Well, the luckiest thing in life is drawing a character card that perfectly matches the thoughts of Yang Tian and Zhen Liangmu.
After that, you can be down-to-earth without any worries.
As for shedding the label of illiteracy, that's the next goal.
Shen Jian looked on with a sigh.
Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between partners.
[Yang Tianzhen@Liangmu: I don't think he understood what you meant.]
[Good Wood: emm…]
...
...
Friday, Kyoto Airport.
When Shen Jian arrived at the terminal with his suitcase.
Liang Mu, Yang Tianzhen, and the others have already arrived.
"Good morning, Sister Yang, Ah Liang."
Ryogi: "..."
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
It's 1:30 PM, where the hell are you?
The two remained silent.
Shen Jian looked around but didn't see Ma Sichun: "Where are Sister Chun and the others?"
Yang Tianzhen: "They have VIP access and have already boarded the plane. You guys should hurry up too, so as not to waste time."
Shen Jian was not surprised.
Actually, there are many paparazzi and fan site admins at the airport every day.
Unless a celebrity has prepared in advance to get some candid photos of them at the airport, they will generally try to avoid it.
Of course, both the fan site admins and the paparazzi have many years of experience.
They rarely miss catching the celebrities they want to catch.
"Shen Jian, it's not easy to get on Teacher He's show, so you need to take it seriously. That way, you'll have more opportunities in the future," Yang Tianzhen reminded her again.
"Yes, I know, I'll take it seriously."
"That's fine then." Yang Tianzhen nodded, then suddenly noticed his suitcase: "Why are you bringing so many drinks? Security won't let you through. Just throw away the milk and stuff."
"Oh dear, I forgot." Shen Jian said, picking up a large bottle of milk and chugging it down: "Waste is shameful."
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
Ryogi: "..."
