Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Bo Bing was truly thinking about her important business. There was still no progress on the matter of the third son of the Li family. This time, Zhi Yu's visit was most likely a case of a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions.

It was still a bit chilly in L City early in the morning. Bo Bing stood on the balcony and looked out. He was caught off guard by the cold wind and wrapped his coat tighter around himself, thinking that he would buy a slightly thicker set of clothes later.

Bo Yuntian, still half asleep, asked, "Brother? Up so early?"

"You go to sleep," Bo Bing stretched out her body, "I'll pack my things first."

When asked about packing, Bo Bing didn't actually pack much. After washing up, he used his bare hands to activate his muscles and get rid of the fatigue from the night.

It gets light quite early during the day.

His biological clock kicked in, and Bo Yuntian woke up. The boy got up promptly at 6:19, glanced at his phone alarm, and let out a wail.

"What's your name?" Bo Bing glanced at the date on her phone. "Isn't today Sunday?"

"Brother—" Bo Yuntian was on the verge of collapse, "My alarm was going to go off in a minute, I'm so upset..."

Bo Bing couldn't empathize with Bo Yuntian's constant refrain, "Getting up a minute earlier than the alarm clock is not a perfect start."

Bo Yuntian started washing up with a lot of resentment, but being a young man, he became cheerful again when he came out, which Bo Bing was very satisfied with.

Because she had to take care of Li Dai, Bo Bing couldn't leave the ward. So Bo Yuntian went out and brought back breakfast for four people. Bo Bing took the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from the boy's hand and started eating it with soy milk.

Before long, the two Li brothers also got up. Neither of them were the type to stay in bed. After getting ready, the four of them sat around the LCD TV in the ward and started watching the 7:30 morning news.

This wasn't a news channel focused on current affairs or politics; rather, it was the kind of talk show that ordinary people enjoyed watching, which the two Li brothers loved.

"Hey Xiaoyun, where did you guys go last night?"

Li Feng winked and moved closer.

The boy looked a little embarrassed. "There wasn't much to do. We just strolled around the park, had dinner, and talked about our studies. She's not very good at physics and asked me if I had any study tips for senior year. She's starting to study during the summer vacation."

Bo Bing glanced at her younger brother, whom she had taken for granted, and then, recalling the "520" comment from yesterday, asked with some confusion, "Isn't it because you're dating?"

"Brother!" Bo Yuntian finally lost his temper, looking at Bo Bing with exasperation, "Who starts dating after just one stroll around? Brother, don't you have any common sense?"

"what?"

Bo Bing was inexplicably scolded by Bo Yuntian and felt wronged.

"They haven't even said anything, why am I making wild guesses... Besides, they just wanted to discuss studying," Bo Yuntian ignored Bo Bing's silence, "Brother, why do you seem even more confused than me? Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Now the two Li brothers also began to gloat, knowing that opportunities to make Bo Bing suffer a setback were rare.

Bo Bing realized what was happening, but just smiled and said, "Go play somewhere else. Why are you asking me?"

The group burst into laughter.

In my mind, the mechanical electronic sound reappeared.

[Start filtering your skill points for this session]

Bo Bing was slightly taken aback.

It's time for the system to distribute bonus points again.

[Physique +2]

【力量: 34|速度: 34|敏捷: 15|智力: 26|体质: 14|魅力: 32|野心: 85|音乐: 9|舞蹈: 12|未解锁状态】

That was supposed to be all the skill points allocated, but the system is still displaying a blue screen, apparently scanning a 3D human body model.

"What else?"

[Host's physical condition is being analyzed...]

Alpha began analyzing Thin Ice's body data.

[Analysis complete]

[Initiating the first stage of physical development direction selection for the host]

"What do you mean?" Bo Bing stared at her 3D model. "What's the direction of her body's development?"

The muscle system that was quickly built for you using the previous method of "dirty muscle building" due to time constraints is no longer able to adapt to your activity intensity. The more energy your muscles consume, the more fatigued you will feel.

Bo Bing frowned. Indeed, she knew her own body well. She had been excessively sleepy lately, and she had always thought it was just a problem with the changing seasons. Her fatigue was indeed getting worse.

The system's words were not unfounded—this is a typical case of using mana when you have it and using health when you don't. You might be able to withstand one or two instances of health loss, but it's definitely not a long-term solution.

[Start now to reactivate your musculoskeletal system and body system]

Please select your desired direction.

Bo Bing looked closely and saw two different figures appearing on the blue light screen. They seemed to be from different ancient martial arts systems, and using an ancient martial arts style as the physical foundation was the best option.

"Either train to become a ball, or train to become a backboard."

—This is a saying passed down orally in ancient martial arts.

The master on the left is burly and broad-shouldered, like a martial arts expert with a strong physique. His body is covered by a thick layer of fat, and he is carrying two maces with great force.

The master on the right looks upright and at first glance shows almost no signs of training, yet he can still circulate his qi and blood and show his muscles when he exerts force.

Bo Bing didn't spend much time thinking.

"I choose to practice on the board."

【Confirmation completed】

[Host, don't worry about the development direction. What's slowly disappearing now is the "muscle definition" you developed from your previous muscle-building exercises. In ancient martial arts, this "cold energy" is something that must be discarded. After passing through this stage, your strength will reach a new level.]

"How long do I need to maintain this muscle shape?"

Bo Bing was still concerned about this point. He thought for a moment, "You know my aesthetic sense is..."

Alpha interrupted him.

[This is merely a process of strengthening your muscles and bones, to enhance your basic physical attributes. Otherwise, with your current physical strength, you would not be able to withstand the skill consumption required by the system later on.]

[You can still do muscle training after this phase is over]

Bo Bing expressed her understanding, saying that her current muscle definition was achieved under pressure when she participated in the show, and after more than a month of bed rest, it has atrophied considerably. Although it looks somewhat good, muscles that cannot support the demands of exercise will only needlessly deplete her physical strength and energy.

Even if the system doesn't say anything, I still need to make some improvements myself.

Just then, a familiar face suddenly appeared on the news on TV.

Bo Bing turned her head and saw a report about a senior executive of a certain brokerage company surnamed Liu evading taxes. The report also highlighted the executive's nephew's extravagant lifestyle and the news that he had an abnormal urine test during the filming of a TV program.

The young man stared at the television.

It wasn't his doing, but it's still closely related to him.

"Xiaobing, pack your things, we'll go get discharged this afternoon."

Li Feng clicked his tongue and said to the third brother, "Brother, you should also take a break for a while. We haven't found the people behind those bastards from last time. Be careful they don't stab you in the back again."

Li Dai sighed, "I'm afraid we can't afford to offend the people behind this."

Hearing him say that, Bo Bing understood.

"Is it that we can't find them, but we can't afford to offend them?"

The young man lowered his gaze and muttered to himself, "L City may seem small, but the waters are far from shallow."
