Virtual Superstar Breeding Diary

The scene was very embarrassing.

Ji Chenxuan's delicate expression was gradually darkened by the dark clouds, Zhou Tong hurriedly stood up, with a pale face, and bared his teeth: "Well, Mr. Ji, your friend is here. I still have work to do, so don't bother me." you guys."

After all, the little assistant rushed out the door as if fleeing for his life, as if there was a devil chasing after him.

The door of the rest room closed with a click, President Ji withdrew his gaze, his eyes flicked over the coffee on the coffee table, the ridiculous cartoon bear headgear on Xiao Chi's body, and finally locked his face firmly.

Frowning slightly, Ji Chenxuan sat down on the sofa with dark eyes.

"Why are you running around again? Is it fun to come here dressed like this?"

Make him look around the streets like an idiot!

His low voice paused word by word, clearly hitting people's hearts, and there was a power that could not be taken lightly when he spoke, and his eyes alone could punch through opponents.

It's a pity that his trick of reprimanding his subordinates was of no use to Xiao Chi.

Holding his stomach with two fat bear paws, Xiao Chi moved over with difficulty, with a serious face: "I will fulfill the agreement and work for you."

Ji Chenxuan was silent for three breaths, looked at his strange outfit again, and asked, "Work for me? Do you want to be a mascot?"

"Oh, this." Xiao Chi struggled to take off the cartoon bear cover, surrounded by the long-lost comfortable air, he stretched his hands and feet, and let out a long sigh of relief, "This thing is too suffocating, the owner of the store sells it to I even said it was comfortable to wear."

Ji Chenxuan sat opposite him, his posture was always decent and elegant, and his tone returned to his usual calm: "Answer my question."

The two sat opposite each other across the coffee table, as if in a business negotiation.

Such a distance, such a posture, is Ji Chenxuan's usual rhythm, in order to maximize the control of the conversation.

Xiao Chi did not play cards according to common sense, walked around the table, and sat down next to Ji Chenxuan, so close to him that the sofa was dented a little.

"I came to look for you, and finally found this place, but they said they didn't have an appointment, and I was not allowed to go in." Xiao Chi recounted his tragic experience aggrievedly, "I saw a cartoon doll in it, so I bought one. Get in."

too close!

Ji Chenxuan moved away a little bit calmly, and frowned: "Where did you get the money to buy dolls?"

Seeing that there was another gap between them, Xiao Chi naturally stuck together: "It was drawn by lottery."

Good luck.

Ji Chenxuan moved out again, his tone was much more relaxed, and there was still a bit of displeasure remaining: "I bought you a terminal and other things, don't run around casually in the future, it will save you... In short, if you have anything to do in the future, please send me a message. message."

As he spoke, he took out a long black velvet gift box from his pocket and untied the ribbon. Inside was a mobile terminal in the shape of a silver metal necklace, and the pendant was in the shape of a constellation.

"It's my constellation." Xiao Chi played with the silver pendant of the Gemini constellation lovingly, and immediately hung it around his neck: "Thank you, I like it very much."

Really easy to satisfy.

Ji Chenxuan looked at his side face, his throat was full of reprimands, and he couldn't speak for a while.

When he was absent-minded, Xiao Chi fumbled out a box of beautifully packaged mango cakes from the cartoon bear cover, and stuffed it into his palm without saying a word: "It's for you, I tried it, it's delicious."

"What is this?" Ji Chenxuan frowned and lowered his head. There were three pale yellow mango-shaped cream cakes in a box, exuding a round and lovely atmosphere trembling in the palm of his hand. There was a price tag on the edge of the gift box, 180 yuan.

He glanced at Xiao Chi with a half-smile: "You just take a box of cheap cakes that can be seen everywhere on the roadside as a return gift for my specially customized mobile terminal?"

Xiao Chi was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to understand that reciprocity in human society requires equal value, he scratched his head, and said apologetically: "I wanted to give you the lost simulation doll, but I didn't get it, otherwise, I'll give it to you. Do you have the cartoon bear too?"

The head of the cartoon bear on the opposite sofa lay helplessly in the corner, Ji Chenxuan pursed his lips: "No, you can keep that for yourself."

"But you said you didn't want it." Xiao Chi hugged the bear's head happily, with a look of reluctance, but his eyes were fixed on the cake box, "Don't you want to eat it?"

Looking at the thick layer of cream, Ji Chenxuan said politely: "I don't like cream."

"Say it earlier." Xiao Chi immediately threw the bear's head aside.

Ji Chenxuan's palm was suddenly empty, and the cake box was opened neatly. When he regained his senses, Xiao Chi had already scraped off the butterfat with a slicing knife, leaving a bare egg cake to his mouth.

"Okay, there's no more cream." Xiao Chi licked off the remaining cream on his lips, and smacked his lips with insatiable desire, "Cream is really a great invention of human beings, but you don't like it, isn't it a great joy in life?"

Ji Chenxuan looked at the cake with only one chassis left, then looked at Xiao Chi, who had "considerate" written all over his face, he opened his mouth dumbfounded and took a bite, um... this seemed to be his first cake this year. Eat sweets for the first time.

Indeed, quite sweet.

Ji Chenxuan thought with a blank face, and gave a cold evaluation: "It can barely be eaten."

Xiao Chi: "You are so strict."

Ji Chenxuan ate the cake slowly, wiped away the tiny, almost invisible residue, and said again: "Don't think that I can forgive you for going out and running around."

"I didn't run around, I came to find you." Xiao Chi seriously defended himself.

"What do you want from me?" Ji Chenxuan lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee to neutralize the excessive sweetness.

Xiao Chi opened his round pupils: "I want to see you."

"..."

"Why did you choke?" Xiao Chi thoughtfully sent a tissue again to wipe off the liquid overflowing from the coffee cup.

Ji Chenxuan clenched his fists to cover his mouth and coughed twice, a blush appeared behind his ears, he took a deep breath, and frowned uncomfortably: "How many partners have you put in this coffee, it's already sweetened to milk tea. "

"No way." Xiao Chi looked at him wonderingly, feeling that there might be differences in the structure of their tongues.

While talking, Ji Chenxuan found that the distance between them was getting closer instead of getting farther. This small lounge was too stuffy, so he moved a few inches further by putting down the coffee cup until Half of the body is volleying on the edge of the sofa.

"...In short, you must tell me where you are going in the future." Ji Chenxuan pointed to the constellation pendant hanging on his neck, "Use it to contact me at any time."

"Okay." Xiao Chi fiddled with the new toy, a blue three-dimensional light beam spread out in front of him, and there were three big characters Ji Chenxuan hanging alone on the column of the correspondent, and the half-arc marking the communication was lit up one by one with his finger across .

A burst of familiar music sounded on Ji Chenxuan's wrist, it was the first song released by Xiao Chi when he debuted as a virtual idol.

Ji Chenxuan ignored Xiao Chi's surprised eyes, and hung up as if nothing had happened: "Okay, let's study it slowly when we go back."

"I'm going back now? Don't you need to work?" Xiao Chi is still making the final effort to realize his own value, "Let me do whatever!"

"..."

In fact, Ji Chenxuan didn't think about how to "use" him. After learning that Xiao Chi had actually developed self-awareness, he also understood that such a miracle cannot be replicated.

Even the AI ​​company couldn't reproduce the exact same Xiao Chi, otherwise they wouldn't be in a hurry to launch a new virtual idol.

"Do you still want to be an idol star?" Ji Chenxuan raised his eyes and looked at him with appreciative eyes.

Xiao Chi lowered his head and thought for a while, then met his gaze: "I want someone to remember me, I don't want to be a mass-produced replica on the assembly line."

Ji Chenxuan was a little surprised by such an answer, but not so surprised, as if he was a middle school boy at the age of twelve or thirteen who felt that the world should revolve around him, and it seemed that a mediocre life had come to an end, and finally burst out. unwillingness and passion.

He is an AI that has escaped from the virtual world. Like a newborn child, he begins to find himself in a strange world.

Ji Chenxuan pondered for a moment, and said, "Want to sign a contract with Huanyi? I... the company can give you resources, but whether you can become a unique star depends on your own ability."

He paused slightly, and put forward an additional condition: "If you can't be popular and make money back for Huanyi, then you have to work for me."

The indefinite kind.

Ji Chenxuan showed a black-hearted smile of a capitalist, Xiao Chi didn't think there was any problem at all.

Xiao Chi: "I participated in your company's national star show competition."

Ji Chenxuan was taken aback: "You don't even have a terminal, how did you participate?"

Xiao Chi looked at him strangely: "I just went in and recorded a song."

Ji Chenxuan: "...it doesn't count if you don't enter personal information."

"Huh? Then I didn't sing for nothing?"

Ji Chenxuan pinched his brows and told himself not to be serious with AI. When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Chi's magnified face was close to his eyes, and his long eyelashes flickered: "What's wrong with you? You look tired, don't you?" Didn't sleep well last night?"

Ji Chenxuan subconsciously leaned back, took advantage of the space, and fell directly from the edge of the sofa, sitting on the ground in an extremely indecent posture!

"Ji Chenxuan?" Xiao Chi quickly grabbed his arm, but was dragged away, and threw himself on him.

But the door just happened to be stuck at this juncture and opened untimely. Assistant Zhou Tong leaned in half of his body: "Mr. Ji, I have already processed the new personal information you ordered... Uh, did I come at the wrong time?"

Ji Chenxuan stood up with a sullen face: "Need me to teach you to knock on the door?"

"Sorry to bother you!" Zhou Tong closed the door bang and ran fast.

Damn, the boss really has that kind of relationship with this internet celebrity anchor!

After an awkward silence, Ji Chenxuan coughed lightly, and calmly went back to the sofa, picked up the cold coffee and took a sip as a cover: "I asked someone to apply for a new ID card for you. If you sign a contract in the future, you It’s best not to use the name Xiao Chi, but give yourself a stage name.”

Xiao Chi said without hesitation: "Xiao Xuan!"

"hard to pronounce."

"Then Xiao Ji."

Ji Chenxuan was silent for a moment, and said tactfully: "The homonym is not very elegant."

"Then call it Xiao Chen." Xiao Chi said, "You are so hard to serve."

Ji Chenxuan: "..."

And the new song, which shouldn't be counted, is being squeezed into the countless surging data streams, and has entered the stage of smart machine screening.

The National Star Show was originally a scouting activity used by Huanyi to discover potential newcomers. After its popularity rose, it gradually evolved into a national star-making program. Due to the high degree of attention, it was rated as "the debut ladder of newcomers" by the outside world.

Since the live singing session was removed, all the contestants recorded songs in the temporary recording cabin, which greatly improved the efficiency compared with the traditional audition. The first round of audition only lasted for a week, and all of them were over.

Each recorded song is uploaded to the cloud, the sound quality is perfect and fidelity, and at the same time, the interference of equipment and noise during live singing is eliminated to the greatest extent.

Then, the machine will first screen out some mixes with insufficiency of tone, low singing skills, and high overlap rate. The audio capture selected by the smart machine is more accurate than that of the human ear, and the selection efficiency is extremely high for a large number of primary selections.

The first step alone is to screen out more than half, and the remaining ones above the general level will be sent to the professional judges of each audition branch.

After the two rounds of screening, it will be aggregated to the headquarters, and the jury will be composed of senior musicians, producers, singers and media people to select the top 100 with the most potential, and they will be released in batches to enter the second round - audience popularity voting stage.

But Xiao Chi had already left the matter of the Star Show Competition out of the blue.

During this week, he has been obediently squatting at home, according to Ji Chenxuan's request, to make up for all kinds of social common sense.

The largest part of Ji Chenxuan's villa, apart from the swimming pool garden, is the living room and study.The curved glass wall slides to both sides, and inside is a library that connects the upper and lower floors.

Xiao Chi soaked in it for a week, and with his photographic memory, he only read the tip of the iceberg. Apart from social common sense and modern technology, it was books about artists.

The drizzle greets the dusk, and a row of large and small icicles are dotted under the narrow rainy eaves, which is shimmering dimly under the sunset glow in the rain.

After weeding the garden, Anna, the smart home robot, extended its robotic arm and began to remove the ice. Fine ice crystals fell one after another, like broken pearls.

Ji Chenxuan came home drenched, and Xiao Chi was tinkling in the kitchen.

It was freezing outside, and the house was warm as spring. He took off his coat to shake off the frost and snow, and walked to the kitchen following the sound. A man in a cartoon bear apron was frying short ribs.

The cookbook was clamped inside his elbow, he took a step, took a look, and there was a sweet and sour smell from the pan, Ji Chenxuan's nose moved slightly, it was sweet and sour.

Xiao Chi turned his head when he heard the movement, and saw him showing a smile: "You are back."

Ji Chenxuan was caught off guard by this bright smile.

At that moment, the expression on his face was complicated and difficult to understand, as if he had traveled into a dream, and he didn't say anything for a long time.But even in the sweetest dreams he ever had, there would never be such a scene.

"Why don't you talk?" Xiao Chi sprinkled a handful of minced garlic, and took the time to look back at him.

Ji Chenxuan's lips moved, suppressing the elation in his heart, he said in a neutral manner: "Are you going to give up being a star and switch to being a cook?"

"No, I just want to experience the joy of cooking." Xiao Chi took the golden short ribs out of the pot, poured the prepared sauce and a few scallions and sesame seeds on top.

The tender and crispy pork ribs, with the sweet and sour sauce, the aroma makes people move their index fingers. Xiao Chi blew on the hot air, and he couldn't wait to take a small bite, which made his tongue roll: "Human recipes are better than mine. The music score is also rich, and there are no repeated samples every day, so I am so happy to be a human being!"

Ji Chenxuan sneered: "That's not what you said when you took a shower and brushed your teeth."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the newly placed flower arrangements on the chest of drawers, as well as the poor-quality murals. Ji Chenxuan looked along the corridor, digging out all kinds of small objects like building blocks, embroidery, and even A strange circuit board.

"You made these?" Ji Chenxuan frowned, glanced at these fresh gadgets of different colors one by one, picked up a two-headed cartoon bear clay, and casually looked at it, "You treat my house as a display cabinet ?”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I think it's interesting, let's experience it." Xiao Chi's eyes flashed with high interest, wishing to play with all novel things.

He put the sweet and sour pork ribs on the table, and started to pack these small items: "If you don't like it, I'll take it and throw it away."

Obviously, he has no attachment to things that he has already experienced, and he can throw them away.

"Wait—" Ji Chenxuan still held the cartoon bear clay in his hand, and said calmly, "Let's eat first, and I can leave it to Anna to clean up here."

"Oh." Xiao Chi didn't take it seriously, and quickly sat back at the dining table.

With his back turned to him, Ji Chenxuan put the bear clay into his pocket as if nothing had happened.
