Chinese Showbiz: My Simulator Is Rather Unorthodox

When Cai Kun woke up, he found himself a drifting trainee in the year 2003 in a parallel world, bound to an abstract life simulator.

[In July 2003, you auditioned for Super Boy. Your performance of singing, dancing, rap, and basketball was so far ahead of its time that the judges mistook you for an acrobat and eliminated you on the spot.]

[In January 2004, you "created" Jay Chou's Qing Hua Ci, only to have it plagiarized by an unscrupulous musician. When you confronted him, the people he called over invited you in for three days of tea.]

[In the summer of 2005, disheartened, you returned to your hometown to open a basketball training camp. A female student's parents suspected your teaching methods were improper, and your license was revoked...]

Cai Kun studied the simulation records and quietly lit a Hongshuangxi cigarette. "The entertainment industry is a murky place."

Then one day, the simulator suddenly displayed a new notification:

[Special bonds detected: Interactions with female stars such as the Two Ices, the Three Beauties of Chinese Paladin, and the Post-85 Flowers can trigger the Talent Awakening effect.]

Cai Kun flicked away his cigarette butt, his gaze growing sharp.

"Looks like I'll have to change my strategy."
