Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

And so, Bo Bing embarked on his "journey" to S Province.

It was wheat harvest season, and he mingled with the group of "wheat harvesters" heading east, boarding a cross-province bus.

The bus was filled with weary travelers. Some were helping others harvest wheat, some were visiting relatives, and others were looking for work. The women, their heads wrapped in colorful headscarves, leaned against their seats, backpacks in hand, gazing out the window. The older men mostly wore octagonal hats and stone mirrors, while the younger men, dressed in various short-sleeved shirts and with cigarettes tucked behind their ears, chatted idly in small groups.

Bo Bing dressed very modestly; in fact, his outfit didn't seem out of place among the group.

He wore a black, faded brown-red short-sleeved shirt, paired with an overly trendy denim jacket with a few studs missing, and black sweatpants. A woven bag lay at his feet; it was unclear where Bo Bing had gotten it from, but it contained some odds and ends and instant noodles.

Because he had driven around with Li Feng quite a bit before, and because he had recently been gathering information with Li Dai and Zhou Tao's people, his skin had long lost the sickly paleness of the original owner. At most, he could be considered an ordinary young adult and wouldn't attract attention.

The wind and sand are strong here, the humidity is low, and the ultraviolet radiation is not weak. The young man's face has even developed a slight redness from the high altitude. After the first phase of systematic training, he has already seen some results in half a month. Half of his original muscle lines have collapsed, his hair has drooped down and covered his forehead, and stubble has appeared on his face.

If it weren't for his still-present demeanor and resolute face, no one would recognize him as the original Bo Bing.

She looks completely different now compared to when she appeared on the show before—which is exactly what Bo Bing needs. If she had to stop her plans now because she was recognized, it would be a huge loss. Before officially entering the market, the further away from her previous public image, the better.

Now it seems that Bo Bing was just a worker chasing "trends".

The road surface was bad, full of potholes. Thin ice leaned against the window, feeling that his seat was too far back, and he was starting to feel slightly carsick from the bus's jolting. Occasionally, his head would bump against the window because of his sleeping position, and he would let out a soft groan from his sensitive, passive state.

"Are you carsick? I have some motion sickness medicine here, would you like some?"

A local dialect-tinged Mandarin came through the air. Bo Bing opened her eyes. Sitting next to her was a young girl. The girl was holding her own bag and wearing an overly bright lake-blue sports jacket and gray capri pants, a black and white striped long shirt, slightly thick wrists, calluses and a few cracks on her hands, and a trendy "telephone coil" hair tie in her ponytail. She was wearing a pair of plastic rhinestone earrings.

The girl looked to be about the same age as her. Bo Bing looked away and took the two motion sickness pills from the other girl's hand. The pills had been cut with scissors, and the foil had been carefully divided into pairs of strips.

"Thank you."

Bo Bing thanked him, accepted the medicine, and popped it into her mouth.

The system has already determined that this is a non-toxic, common motion sickness medication, so the young man can take it without any problems.

After a brief exchange, Bo Bing learned that the girl's name was Du Xifeng. She said that everyone in the village called her Xifeng. She dropped out of high school and went to the city to work and earn money. Now she was looking for her master, who was a beautician in the capital of S province. He owned a salon that combined washing, cutting, and styling beauty services. Although he wasn't very famous, he had several apprentices working for him.

Bo Bing didn't dare to reveal all about her background, only saying that she was the eldest child in her family, her younger brother was in school, and she was here to work. The girl looked understanding and said that she was in the same situation, and that she didn't care if her younger siblings were doing well, as long as they were doing well, she didn't mind if she suffered a little. She also talked about her family.

Bo Bing knew that she had misunderstood something, so she didn't refute her. She just rummaged through her backpack and didn't find anything of value, but she did find an unopened hand cream.

"Thank you for the motion sickness medicine, my head feels much better now," Bo Bing said, handing over the medicine and winking. "My brother bought this a few days ago thinking it was toothpaste when he was buying toiletries, so please don't mind."

The hand cream packaging had some foreign words printed on it. I didn't know if it was an export product that was then resold domestically or if it was a genuine foreign product, but the flattened box that shone in the sunlight was quite pretty.

Girls still like pretty things.

Xi Feng smiled a little shyly, blushed, declined twice, but finally accepted it. She put her bag back in its place, pursed her lips, and continued listening to music on her MP3 player.

Bo Bing drew the curtains of the carriage and continued to listen to the old man in the front seat complaining that his wife hadn't brought any bean paste with her pancakes. The slightly bitter motion sickness medicine was pressed against his tongue. The carriage was filled with noise, but the young man slept very soundly.

In a daze, Bo Bing even thought that she had returned to the days when she went south to work.

Back then, he was a lone wolf who only knew how to charge forward on loyalty.

A precious moment in my youth.

—And then what?

Perhaps it was the effect of his rebirth, but his memories began to become somewhat hazy—of course, even if he were still Feng Tianhan now, he might not remember these things, but he was happy to attribute his forgetfulness to the aftereffects of his rebirth.

How did I climb up step by step?

Seeing those who had once looked down on him bowing down one by one before him, his pride and vanity were instantly and perfectly satisfied.

—What a pathetic fellow.

He thought this way, yet he was also proud of it.

He got to that point by fueling his ambition and vanity. He wanted to gain everyone's respect and climb up the ladder step by step, letting those hypocritical masks build walls in front of him.

Even though he was being swept along by the will of everyone behind him and couldn't stop, he continued to use his competitive spirit.

Unexpectedly, the enemy was not only the guys outside the city walls, but also the guys behind him.

No, perhaps it's not that I didn't expect it, it's that...

The young man opened his eyes, his dark, snake-like pupils revealing an unreadable emotion.

Leaving the station went smoothly. Bo Bing first went to a post office to leave her valid ID and mobile phone with them and wrote down the things she needed to tell them.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the second-hand Motorola that Li Dai had given him, changed the SIM card, deliberately stuffed more than two hundred yuan in cash into his clothes, and began to walk around in places with many out-of-towners, pretending that he was a migrant worker, just like countless other migrant workers, wandering around the roadside to "look for work".

He kept a close eye on every guy who passed by.

Excited, frustrated, crying.

Someone is looking for the next victim, and Bo Bing is looking for these people.
