Just as Xiao Huai was calmly observing the crazy scene around him, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Are you here to sign up?"

Xiao Huai turned around slowly and saw Jing Chenzhou standing there with a faint smile on his face. His eyes fell on Xiao Huai, as if he was examining him from head to toe.

Xiao Huai said calmly: "What does my signing up have to do with your so-called program?"

He remembered Jing Chenzhou once said the word "program".

And there was a girl who came to pick up Jing Chenzhou. If his identity is a director... then what does he have to do with the game?

Jing Chenzhou was not affected by Xiao Huai's questioning. Instead, he smiled lightly, as if he had already expected Xiao Huai to raise such questions.

"Of course." He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened. He slowly approached Xiao Huai, his voice low and soft, "I'm here to create stars."

"The bottom of the sky is a perfect stage," Jing Chenzhou said softly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Every contestant has the opportunity to become a star under the spotlight... Their lives, their struggles, and their deaths will be watched by the whole world. As for me..." His smile turned sarcastic, "I just make sure this grand performance goes on as planned."

Xiao Huai stared at Jing Chenzhou quietly, his eyes deep, with a hint of inquiry and coldness.

His facial features are delicate, and there is an innate coldness between his eyebrows.

At this moment, the cold light of the projection passed across his cheek, and his eyes were like the light of fire in the dark night, deep and with some elusive chill.

Jing Chenzhou's words did not shake him at all, and his eyes remained steady.

After a moment, Xiao Huai's mouth corners lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

The smile was shallow and indifferent. He tilted his head, his black hair gleaming in the light, his jawline was distinct, and beneath the smile, his eyes were half-closed, revealing a sharpness like a hunting falcon.

This kind of smile has no warmth at all, but it has a heart-pounding charm.

It is like a sharp blade, wrapped in soft silk, sharp but not ostentatious.

"Star-making? Sounds familiar."

Jing Chenzhou looked at that smile, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Xiao Huai's smile gradually disappeared, "So, you are the same as them."

"They?" Jing Chenzhou raised his eyebrows. "Who are you referring to?"

Xiao Huai did not answer, the coldness in his eyes grew stronger, and the whole air seemed to have cooled down.

Them - Thriller Game.

From a certain perspective, the live broadcast room of the gods also seems to be creating stars.

And in the world of "Mirror", everything happened at the bottom of the sky.

It's like another thriller game.

Xiao Huai casually changed the subject. He spoke softly and calmly, "What good can I get from participating in your show?"

Everything is related to interests.

In order to complete the side quest, Xiao Huai naturally had to sign up for the competition.

A hint of amusement flashed across Jing Chenzhou's eyes.

"Benefits?" Jing Chenzhou covered his brows, "Of course there must be."

He likes realistic people.

"You will gain more than just money and fame by participating in my show. You know, I have a lot of 'resources' for you to choose from."

Xiao Huai had a dull expression, and was obviously not interested in these vague words.

Jing Chenzhou shrugged. "You know, the game at the bottom of the sky is not just a game of life and death. You need someone to take the blame for you. I can be your scapegoat."

There was a kind of nonchalant frivolity in his words, as if these scapegoats were just an insignificant setting in the game.

Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, and became more interested in his words.

Seeing this, Jing Chenzhou happily continued to explain, "I have many people here who are willing to be scapegoats. You can choose someone to take the risk for you, do the dirty work for you, or even... die for you. As long as you are willing to participate in my program, not only can you choose your scapegoat, you can also gain more privileges."

Xiao Huai raised his eyes, his gaze cold, looking straight into Jing Chenzhou's heart through his smile.

"Why?" He asked coldly, his voice calm but full of power, "Why did you choose me?"

Jing Chenzhou's status in the bottom of the sky is obviously not low. He has many choices and resources far beyond ordinary people, but he specifically chose Xiao Huai just because of that brief encounter.

This kind of persistence seems particularly strange and unreasonable.

He knew that Jing Chenzhou was not an ordinary person. It was impossible for him to pester him so relentlessly based on a mere encounter on the bus.

Jing Chenzhou's eyes never left Xiao Huai's face, as if locked on a certain target, revealing an elusive deep meaning.

He slowly raised his hand, wanting to touch Xiao Huai's face. Although the movement stopped in mid-air, the intoxication in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Your face." Jing Chenzhou said softly, staring straight at Xiao Huai, "It's very valuable."

Xiao Huai's brows frowned slightly, and his eyes became even colder.

Jing Chenzhou added: "No one would not want to see this face."

As the words fell, there was a hint of inexplicable oppression in the air.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes, his gaze shifted slightly, then he raised his head and said in a cold voice, "Besides the scapegoat, do you have no other bargaining chips?"

Jing Chenzhou was stunned, his eyes widened slightly, obviously not expecting Xiao Huai to be so blunt.

"Your words about bargaining chips are quite interesting." Jing Chenzhou's voice was soft. He did not answer immediately, but seemed to be enjoying the rhythm of the conversation, intentionally whetting Xiao Huai's appetite.

He leaned forward slightly, a sly glint in his eyes.

"The scapegoat is, of course, just one of them." Jing Chenzhou said slowly, his tone still calm and composed, as if he held more secrets and cards in his hand.

He paused slightly, his eyes becoming sharper as he observed Xiao Huai's reaction.

"There are other bargaining chips... like influence."

Xiao Huai looked at Jing Chenzhou coldly, still maintaining a cold expression.

But Jing Chenzhou obviously knew this, he continued: "Of course, if you don't care about these,"

He added nonchalantly, "I have something even more special here—information."

Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to be somewhat interested.

"If you're willing to participate, I can reveal part of the truth to you, or help you find the answer you've been looking for."

His words lingered in the air, carrying an invisible attraction.

"So, what do you think of these chips?" Jing Chenzhou raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing with interest. "I promise, besides the scapegoat, I have far more chips than these."

Xiao Huai was silent for a moment. Hidden behind these tempting promises must be more dangers and unknown costs.

Jing Chenzhou is best at displaying chips that are attractive enough to make people excited and easily lure people into his game.

However, the aspect of information did arouse Xiao Huai's interest.
