She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

While Jiang Lai was playing on her phone, a message from Fu An popped up.

Fu An: So, how's it going? Have you finished reading the novel? Interested in trying your hand at voice acting?

Jiang Lai paused in her scrolling through videos, realizing she had almost forgotten about it. She quickly returned to WeChat and typed, "I think it's good! I quite like the character Shaoyin."

Fu An: So, come to YY for the audition at 2 PM this afternoon? Don't be nervous, there are other people participating in this audition selection, you can listen to how others do their dubbing.

Jiang Lai continued typing: OK!

A little while later, Bai Luxi's message also came through.

Bai Lu Wei Xi: I heard from Director Fu that you're going to audition?!

Jiang Lai: Yes, OVO seems interesting, so I wanted to try it.

Bai Lu Wei Xi: That's great! I think you have a lot of potential, absolutely no problem!

Jiang Lai: Hehehe, thank you, sis.

The two chatted for a while, then Bai Luxi was called to work. Jiang Lai saw that it was almost one o'clock, so she turned on her computer, downloaded YY, and tested the equipment.

"I feel so much more relaxed now that I don't have the financial pressure," Jiang Lai told 001. "From now on, Fu Changyuan is like an older brother to me!"

001: ...

Jiang Lai got herself a cup of yogurt and then lay on the bed watching videos.

"Ah, this feels so good~" The girl's contented voice echoed in the small room.

Fu An sent me a message on WeChat: Come to this room.

He sent a string of numbers, which Jiang Lai copied to YY and entered the room.

As soon as Jiang Lai entered the channel, she thought it would be lively, but to her surprise, it was quiet. It turned out that the host had muted everyone's microphones. Jiang Lai was the same when she entered, wearing a white vest and the name she had changed herself, "A Lai".

While the players couldn't speak, they were chatting away on the public chat.

Hengzhi: Alas! I've discovered that Orange Horse and Yellow Horse have so many amazing players!

Xi Sha: Where is Fu Qingshan??

Wu Nian: Where is my Goddess Bai Lu?

Hua Ran Ru Xi: Newbie reporting for duty! Looking familiar, please look out for me!

Worldly Ant: I'm just here to watch. Are there any others like me?

Qin Jiu: Hahahaha, so many people! Is everyone so free?

Timid: I have a feeling today is going to be very lively!

Fermented Grape: Huh? Can I listen to other people audition?

Around 2:30, a man wearing an orange vest spoke; it was Fu Qingshan, also known as Fu An.

"Alright, everyone, listen to me. Today we're selecting voice actors for the radio drama 'Peach Blossom Smile.' The only role that hasn't been decided yet is Fairy Shaoyin."

A female voice continued, "Then we'll begin in a bit. Anyone interested in auditioning for Shokz, please come to the small room downstairs and audition in the order of your microphone. The audition clips are all the same. The people in charge of the mic-playing are random, but they are all from the production crew and are absolutely professional. You can rest assured about that. Those who come to watch, please don't jump up."

Fu An said again: "The audition is recorded in the whole process. When the candidates are announced later, the audition clips will also be released. If you have any objections, you can raise them."

He methodically explained the precautions one by one, and the public chat was very quiet for a while before it started flooding with comments like "I want to have Qingshan's babies," "Qingshan's voice is so soothing," and "Ahhhhh, Qingshan!"

Fu An said, "There are three small rooms. You can go to whichever interviewer you want to audition in..."

Jiang Lai switched off Fu An's channel and went in. There were already seven or eight people inside. Besides Fu Qingshan, there were two Huang Mas, named Ju Luo and Huai Zi'an.

After a while, once it was confirmed that no one else would come in, the small room was locked.

The microphone in front of Ju Luo lit up. "It seems everyone knows that Aoyama is very strict, so no one came here to audition! There are only five people auditioning in Room 3 of Shokz: Bu Yu, Ru Se, Liu Xin Nai Huang Bao, Xie Xing Nai, and A Lai. Is it okay to audition in this order? Aoyama and Zi An will be your partners."

"I'll post a rough outline of this scene in the chat for you guys to see, and then we'll start in half an hour, either way is fine, okay?"

The people who came to audition all said they had no problem, so everyone began to quietly read the script.

Jiang Lai also muted her microphone. She originally wanted to look at the public chat, but found that Fu An had sent her a message. When she opened it, she found that it was a more detailed section of the script file.

This section tells the story of internal strife within the demon race. A demon named Yan, after being seriously injured, accidentally falls into an ancient secret realm and is rescued by Shaoyin. The two develop a subtle affection for each other as they spend more time together.

Nightmare was originally the most favored candidate for the next Demon Lord in the Demon Realm, but due to the chaotic situation of the Demon Race and the irreconcilable conflict between various forces, he was ambushed and seriously injured during a mission, and accidentally fell into an ancient secret realm.

Yan thought he would die in the secret realm, but unexpectedly, while he was unconscious, he met Shaoyin, who had also accidentally fallen into the secret realm. Shaoyin did not know his identity and thought he was also a cultivator who had mistakenly entered the secret realm, so she healed him. The two traveled together to find a way to escape the secret realm.

In the eyes of the world, Yan is a member of the demon race, utterly wicked and deserving of death by everyone. However, Shaoyin rarely contacts the outside world and is naturally unaware of these things. Yan also intentionally conceals his identity, so the two get along quite well.

Shaoyin never concealed her identity, which made Yan a little interested in her. Everyone said that Shaoyin, the fourth disciple of the God Lord, was aloof and unapproachable, but in Yan's eyes, Shaoyin was actually a very simple and straightforward person. She was also very easygoing, unlike those sanctimonious immortals or those mortals who pursued fame and fortune. Instead, she had some of the unbridled nature of a demon.

The ancient secret realm was difficult to enter and difficult to leave. The two of them spent a long time together in the secret realm. This period was the most peaceful time for Yan. He did not need to be wary of those demons, nor did he need to complete those tests to seize the position of Demon Lord. He only needed to follow behind Shaoyin and explore the secret realm together.

Gradually, Yan actually developed some affection for Shaoyin, thinking that it wouldn't be bad to stay in the secret realm with her forever. But this was ultimately an illusion. The two later left the secret realm, and Shaoyin learned of Yan's identity. Yan was worried that Shaoyin would look at him differently, so he chose to leave without saying goodbye.

This is a clip from the audition.

"Time's up, shall we begin?" Ju Luo said. "Let's go one by one, those who haven't been called yet can prepare some more."

Apart from Jiang Lai, the other auditionees seemed to have previous work experience and had certain dubbing skills, so they all did well during the acting segment.

When it was Jiang Lai's turn, Fu An said, "I'll act with you."

Jiang Lai said "Oh," and then Ju Luo said, "Let's begin."

"Did you save me?" The voice that suddenly rang out was somewhat lazy and tinged with laughter. It traveled straight into her ears through the electricity, and the trailing tone made her blush slightly.

Jiang Lai took a deep breath and said, "It's me. Your injury isn't serious, I've taken care of it for you. As payment, I need you to cooperate with me to get out of this secret realm. Can you move now?" Her clear, cool voice carried a hint of gentleness, like a feather brushing against one's heart.

"But I'm still injured! Aren't you even allowed to rest? Sister, you're so amazing, you must be an immortal to heal me!" Yan recognized Shaoyin from the beginning and said with a hint of teasing, "Fairy, have pity on me, okay?"

Nightmare's voice became brighter, with a touch of boyishness. Taking advantage of his youthful appearance, he didn't think there was anything wrong with calling her "sister" and started acting cute towards her.

"Then let's rest for a few more days. This secret realm can suppress one's cultivation. Staying too long could be dangerous. We must set off in three days at most." Shao Yin's voice was still aloof and superior, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of helplessness and indulgence, as if she really treated Yan like a little brother.

Ju Luo listened silently, but her hands were typing rapidly, frantically exchanging messages with Huai Zi'an.

"I knew Qingshan was acting strange!! Look at him! He's completely different from how he was just now!"

“This girl was found by Sister Bailu, so it’s already suspicious that Director Fu agreed to it!” Huai Zi’an replied.

"But this girl has a really good voice! She has a lot of potential!"

Huai Zi'an also typed: "Director Fu is like an old house on fire without him even realizing it!"

The two men exchanged lewd laughs.

Meanwhile, Fu An and Jiang Lai's scene together also came to an end.

Ju Luo turned on her microphone, cleared her throat, and said, "Well, everyone's done now. As for the specific results, we should be able to get them out tomorrow and will contact you. You can also follow the production team's Weibo account for updates."

Now everyone could speak up, and a chorus of "Thank you for your hard work, Ju Da!" and "Thank you for acting with me, Huai Da!" erupted.

Jiang Lai also spoke up: "Then thank you so much, Aoyama-sama!" Normally, Jiang Lai's voice is a soothing, girlish voice, but this time it had a touch of playfulness.

Fu An also replied with a smile, "You're welcome."

"That's enough for today, you can log out of YY now," Ju Luo said.

After exchanging greetings, everyone left the room one after another.

Jiang Lai also left. She took off her headphones, rubbed her shoulders, and said, "So tired."

001 said cheerfully, "It seems the audition went very smoothly! Fu An's favorability rating has reached 74, and Bai Luxi's is 63."

"Sure enough, my careful study of the script and character design and my private practice were effective. Even if this role isn't mine, I've at least gained their favor, so it's not a loss."

An hour later, Jiang Lai received several new WeChat messages and clicked on them.

Fu An: Your dubbing was great today; you have a lot of talent.

Bai Lu Wei Xi: Fu An let me hear your audition, not bad, not bad!

Jiang Lai typed: "I also have to thank Director Fu for his cooperation! He got me into that emotional state, otherwise I would have had a hard time doing a good job myself! (bowing emoji)"

"You heard me so quickly! Sister Bai, were you slacking off? I just logged out of YY not long ago!"

Fu An: Don't underestimate yourself. I look forward to working with you again next time.

Jiang Lai: The results are out??

Fu An: No, but our group's recording was the first to be uploaded to the group for everyone to review, and everyone agreed that your voice was the best in this group.

Jiang Lai: (Happy emoji)

Bai Luxi also sent a message: No! Director Fu posted it in the crew group for everyone to review! I immediately listened to yours, Alai! As expected of my best friend, who wouldn't like that voice?! Anyone who isn't deaf knows how to choose!

Jiang Lai really felt that Bai Luxi was exaggerating a bit, so she replied with an apologetic emoji.

Jiang Lai: That's not necessarily true! It depends on how the other groups fared!

Bai Lu Wei Xi: Anyway, Director Fu and I will definitely vote for you!

Jiang Lai: Thank you, sister! (Huang Dou laughs loudly)

The sound check took about an hour and a half, and it's almost five o'clock now.

Jiang Lai was about to change her clothes and go out for dinner when 001 said, "By the way, you can collect another reward."

"So fast? Didn't the live stream just end?"

"Someone recorded your live stream that night, including the part where Fu Changyuan gave you gifts. It got some buzz in some guilds and streamer chat rooms, since you're a new streamer. Well—some marketing accounts used it as a gimmick, so it generated quite a bit of discussion. A group of people were attracted by your voice, so your popularity increased again."

"Since you're not short of money now, I've replaced all the monetary rewards. This time, you can receive either a beautiful nose or a breath as sweet as orchids."

"This is so hard to choose!" Jiang Lai said, having a hard time deciding. "Can I not choose now? And then choose both of them later when the favorability rating reaches the required level again? Is that okay?"

Her nose was now a bulbous, somewhat flat nose, which looked out of place on her fair, jade-like face, as if it had been haphazardly placed there. Therefore, this "jade nose" was still very alluring to Jiang Lai.

But this "breath as fragrant as orchids" is also great! Then I won't have to worry about the side effects of eating durian and the like anymore.

Jiang Lai was also very interested!

"Is it really impossible to have both?"

001 hesitated, "This—"

"It should be okay, right? You can even cancel my monetary reward, so you have a lot of freedom!" Jiang Lai tried to coax her, "Please! 001 is the best!"

001: "Okay, okay! But you need to collect the favorability needed for the next reward as soon as possible! Otherwise, it will be wasted if too much time passes."

"Got it, got it! I'll start the live stream tonight, okay?"

"And there are still targets to pursue!"

"understand!"

Jiang Lai no longer wanted to go out for dinner. What was there to eat anyway? She should focus on preparing for tonight's live stream. But was this live stream going to be another storytelling session?

Just as Jiang Lai was wondering what to do, Lu Jin sent her a message.

Lu Jin: Playing games tonight?

Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, and she typed, "Okay! What should I type?"

Lu Jin: A King?

Jiang Lai knew this game; it was very similar to a game in her previous life's world, but there were still many differences between the two.

She had played that game in her past life, but her skills were terrible. She also had no memory of playing games in this Jiang Lai's past life, so she probably wasn't some gaming pro.

Jiang Lai gave Lu Jin a heads-up by typing: "Okay, but I'm really bad at this game, the kind of bad at 4v6."

Lu Jin: It's okay, I'll take care of you!

Jiang Lai: I'll download it right now!

Since Lu Jin came to us first, let's play with him for now! After all, he still has her misty hair on him.

Jiang Lai comfortably put aside the idea of ​​"live streaming today" and prepared to dominate the game with Lu Jin.
