When Su Shuixing graduated top of her class, everyone was certain that this rising star would shine brightly in the entertainment industry.
Until she turned down a greasy investor's offer of drinks and ruined her career for good.
Coffee splashed across her script. Her manager's voice was icy: "Why pretend to be so pure? If you don't want to make it, then get lost!"
That night, clutching a contract demanding an astronomical penalty fee, she stood drunkenly by the river. "Fine, I quit! I won't put up with this crap anymore..."
Just then, a mechanical voice exploded in her mind:
[ Ding! Oceanic Apocalypse Surprise Box System successfully bound.
Kill monsters in the apocalyptic world = receive random rewards in the real world. ]
When she opened her eyes again, she was on an unfamiliar beach.
Before her stood a half-human, half-fish monster, its gaping maw still holding half of a bloodied human arm.
The System prompted: "Host, don't panic! This is the tutorial level. All you have to do is hide..."
Su Shuixing narrowed her eyes. She stared at the monster's wrinkled, greasy face and suddenly smiled. "Wait, why does this ugly thing look more and more like my manager?"
System: "?"
The smile vanished from Su Shuixing's face. She pulled out the plasma cannon the System had provided and aimed it at the monster's face, her voice cold.
"Killing people is against the law in the real world..."
"But there are no such rules here."
Bang, bang, bang!
The laser tore through the air, blasting the monster to pieces in an instant. With smoke billowing around her, Su Shuixing blew on the heated muzzle, moving with the ease of an action movie star.
[Mission complete]
[Congratulations, you have received: "Enemy Feels What You Feel in the Real World" BUFF]
[Congratulations, you have received: "Exclusive Script Offer from a Top Director"]
[Congratulations, you have received: "500 Acting Skill Points!"]
The System was completely stunned.
Its original plan had been: The Host gets so scared her legs give out, then cries pitifully, and the System gently comforts her.
Reality: The Host blasted the tutorial monster into an Oreo, and was so cool she made people's legs go weak.
After three seconds of silence, the System quietly deleted the "Beginner's Guide to Comforting the Host" it had just prepared. It spent the whole night downloading "How to Be a Powerful Person's Thoughtful Sidekick" and "One Hundred Ways to Cling to a Powerful Person's Leg."
Before long, the entertainment industry was in an uproar.
Su Shuixing, an actress who just days ago had been so obscure that no one even knew she existed, suddenly seemed to have activated cheat mode. Scripts from top directors landed in her lap, her acting was so good that her senior costars felt ashamed, and one hit after another swept the awards. Through sheer talent, she became the year's most talked-about Best Actress.
Even more astonishing was her temper. She never swallowed her anger when something happened.
A male actor tried to cop a feel under the pretext of filming a scene? Su Shuixing slapped him so hard he spun around three times like a top, and even his implants flew out.
A vulgar investor slipped her his room key? The next day, the guy was stripped down to his underwear and tied to a plane tree outside his company. The hashtag #ArtisticPerformanceByEntertainmentMogul shot straight to the top of the trending list.
Antis spread rumors that she was kept by a sugar daddy? Su Shuixing confronted them on her main account, and court summonses went straight to their homes. The antis were so terrified they apologized and begged for mercy all over the internet.
Netizen A: "Oh my god! This woman is incredible. How can anyone be this bold?"
Netizen B: "Now this is a real strong female lead in the entertainment industry! I'm so satisfied watching her. Su, I'll get on my knees for you!"
