Why Is a Bit-Part Actor Competing with the Heroine?

A bit player? Even a dog wouldn’t

Run!

That’s what bit players do, and he’s a bit player auditioning for art school, at that.

On December 21, 2012, the day the world was supposedly going to end, Wang Zha, an art-school hopeful, doesn’t get an apocalypse. Instead, he activates a veteran actor System.

As long as he joins a production, he can improve his four basic skills: voice, delivery, appearance, and expression. And if he acts alongside veteran actors or the lead actors, he can swipe their skills.

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the legendary golden skill ‘Fortune’s Favor’ from the Double-Bone Dragon. You can avoid the risk of injury while filming!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the legendary golden skill ‘Martial Arts Body’ from the Kung Fu Emperor. Your fight scenes will be thrilling to watch!]

“Wait, I understand Fortune’s Favor and Martial Arts Body, but this ‘Absolute Affinity’...”

Oh, it’s a huge boost when acting with actresses. That’s fine, then.

It’s just... whose skill did I swipe this one from, anyway?
