A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

The "Modeling Monster" tag has been upgraded, further enhancing Gu Yun's appearance.

According to the system's scoring system, if the maximum score is 100, Gu Yun is currently at 95. Looking at those peach blossom eyes for a while, they really do seem to have stars in them.

Is this what they call "starry eyes"?!

Gu Yun then turned his attention to the newly drawn entries.

Entry: Ancient Style Gentleman

Effect: When you play a refined gentleman, your charisma is boosted by 100%, and your acting skills by 30%.

(Proficiency +1 for each time a celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry approves of your [Ancient Style Gentleman] outfit)

Gu Yun's acting skills are actually mediocre, far inferior to those actors with formal training. Strictly speaking, he doesn't even meet the passing grade for acting.

With this 30% boost, Gu Yun's acting skills can be considered passable.

"I might consider taking on period dramas later on. While the popularity is still there, I'll release some works first."

Gu Yun received some information from Wang Hailong that evening.

The topic of "Let's Go on a Trip" has generated a lot of discussion online, and all the topics are related to Gu Yun, making Gu Yun very popular!

But Gu Yun understood that high popularity alone was useless!

Once the variety show ends and the hype dies down, without any notable works, Gu Yun will just be another ordinary stand-up comedian.

At most, it's just adding the label of "variety show personality".

This is not what Gu Yun wants; his goal is to become a star, a top celebrity!

To be recognized as an actor, Gu Yun must have a notable work to his name.

"However, I definitely can't accept a bad script."

This thing has a terrible reputation.

Jiang Long, who initially rose to fame with "The Wonderful Night of Delight," had his past role in the terrible drama "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" unearthed after he became famous.

Even now, many people still criticize and question Jiang Long's acting skills.

Gu Yun didn't want to take on bad dramas; if he became a top star in the future, it would be a stain on his reputation for life.

Moreover, the first day of the "Let's Go Traveling Together" live stream has only been completed, and the first episode of the variety show has not yet been edited out, so Gu Yun's popularity will continue for some time.

Therefore, there's no rush. We can take our time selecting books. Gu Yun's principle is to have fewer but better books!

Thinking of this, Gu Yun called Huang Ming, shared his thoughts, and discussed the details.

Huang Ming also agreed with Gu Yun's request to take on period dramas.

After all, compared to other types of dramas, historical romance dramas have the lowest requirements for actors' acting skills.

Wang Hedi, who played the Demon Lord Dongfang Qingcang in the hugely popular drama "The Legend of Canglan" a few years ago, didn't have particularly good acting skills.

The only part that was a little difficult was probably the scene where the Demon Lord dressed up as Xiao Lanhua.

Huang Ming felt that Gu Yun couldn't come for this part, but everything else was fine as long as he was good-looking.

"I'd rather have nothing than something bad. Don't worry, my future rests entirely on your shoulders, I definitely won't let you down."

Huang Ming assured Gu Yun, hung up the phone, gulped down several mouthfuls of sugar-free coffee, and continued picking out notebooks.

"Huang Ming, seize this opportunity! Your chance to turn things around depends on this!"

-

Three o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, a series of wails echoed through the dark manor.

"Ugh~~~"

"Ugh~~~"

Gu Yun was half asleep when he was awakened by a wail. He got up and followed the sound to the door of Jia Naliang next door.

"Nara-nii, you've been dry heaving. What's wrong? Who pulled you into your room?" Gu Yun rubbed his still-drowsy eyes and blurted out a sharp question.

[King of Jokes +1]

"Ugh~~~"

"I ate those green beans tonight and I'm vomiting~~"

Inside the room, Jia Naliang wailed in pain, saying intermittently, "I... I'm vomiting bile... I'm almost throwing it up."

"Brother, ugh... call an ambulance right now, I'm dying!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun immediately dialed Director Wang Hailong's number and explained the situation.

It will take some time for the ambulance to get here; it's not as fast as the production crew's car.

"Wait, it seems like other people ate green beans last night!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yun sent a message to Tian Xiwei as he walked upstairs: "How's it going on your end?"

Tian Xiwei replied quickly; she had also been woken up.

Besides her, Huang Shengyi and Mai Lin were both vomiting, especially Mai Lin, who was vomiting so badly that she was completely out of it.

Tian Xiwei had never seen anything like this before, and she was both anxious and scared.

Gu Yun reassured him, "Don't worry, I've already called the director. They'll be here to handle this soon."

"Okay~" Tian Xi replied crisply, but did not hang up the phone. Gu Yun would feel more at ease with her there.

Gu Yun didn't hang up the phone. He ran into Teacher He in the third-floor hallway, and Teacher He didn't look too good either.

"I never thought that just drinking some soup and not eating any green beans would cause me to get hurt."

"Teacher He, you should rest first. I've already called the director, and their people will be here soon. I'm going to check on Yangzi and Teacher Huang."

"I'm fine, I'll go with you."

Both Yangzi's and Huang Xiaochu's doors can be opened from the outside.

Huang Xiaochu also ate green beans, but at least he ate very little, so his condition was relatively optimistic, and he could barely walk.

The three of them pushed open Yangzi's door again.

You don't know until you open it, and once you open it, you're shocked to find that Yangzi had already vomited and passed out.

Upon seeing this situation, Chef Huang's first thought was to shift the blame: "Ugh... what on earth happened?"

"What else could it be? Food poisoning, of course."

Gu Yun found a towel to wipe away the vomit from Yang Zi's mouth, pressed on his chest, and the vomit came out of his throat, and he was finally breathing again.

Chef Huang scratched his nose: "How could this be food poisoning? Search the room and see if Yangzi secretly ate something behind our backs last night."

Gu Yun rolled his eyes. At a time like this, this old guy was still thinking about protecting his reputation, so he retorted:

"What else could it be?"

"It's either the tender green beans you cook, or the half-cooked mutton, or that terribly bitter imitation crab."

[Perfect critical hit! King of jokes +4]

Chef Huang raised an eyebrow: "Hiss! You little brat, how could you say that? Fine, I'll eat it too, how can I... ugh~"

He Ling couldn't stand it anymore and tugged at Huang Xiaochu's sleeve: "You, go sit outside in the hallway, don't bother people here!"

A few minutes later, Wang Hailong arrived with the program crew and helped Huang Xiaochu, He Ling, and Jia Naliang downstairs.

Gu Yun also saw Mai Lin downstairs, who was in a similar sorry state as Yang Zi. Mai Lin had eaten the most green beans that night and had been unconscious for a while.

Huang Shengyi fared slightly better, since he ate less.

As for Xiaotian, well, his face was deathly pale; he was really terrified, and his lips were completely bloodless.

Wang Hailong said gratefully, "Xiao Gu, thank you so much again this time."

Gu Yun waved his hand: "Of course, Director, you go ahead with your work, saving lives is the priority."

"Then I'm leaving. You and Xiaotian should get some rest."

With such a big incident happening to the film crew, director Wang Hailong certainly couldn't be absent. He rubbed his heavy dark circles under his eyes and set off with the convoy.

"Finally, I can go back to sleep."

Gu Yun stretched and prepared to go back to his room to sleep, but a small hand gently tugged at the hem of his pajamas.

Tian Xiwei was holding a teddy bear in her arms, looking up at Gu Yun with pitiful, wet eyes.

"Gu Yun, I... I don't want to go back to sleep..."
