Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Although Hoshikawa Taku was referring to Hiroi Kikuri, Xiangzi subconsciously thought of his own father.

How come I got shot even when I was lying down...

Originally Xiangzi was quite happy and immersed in joy, but now even she is forced to return to the cruel reality.

Xiangzi looked at Hoshikawa Taku with a resentful look on his face.

Realizing that an innocent person had also been shot, Hoshikawa Taku smiled awkwardly, quickly changed the subject, and asked Hiroi Kikuri.

"Hiroshi, compared to the precarious life of singing on the streets, I have a real job here. Are you interested?"

Hiroi Kikuri burped and waved her hand lazily, "I still say that, I won't sign with an agency. If my daily schedule is packed with no freedom at all, I'll go crazy!"

Even if Hoshikawa Taku was her benefactor, she would never sign that kind of indenture to sell herself!

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and shook his head.

"I'm not asking you to be an idol. Do you remember the questions I asked you before you went on stage today? I want to sign Hachiman Hailing. You seem to have some connections with her. Can you help me connect with her?"

"Of course, I won't let your efforts go in vain."

Hearing this, Hiroi Kikuri perked up instantly and drunkenly patted her chest, saying, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's just such a small favor! Leave it to me!"

"Don't worry, as long as the price you offer is right, Hai Ling will definitely agree to sign a contract with you!"

Because the price is not right, so we find a middleman...

Taku Hoshikawa didn't say this.

The next morning, Taku Hoshikawa was woken up by the system.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Toyokawa Shoko's debut.]

Mission Objective: Have the agency's only artist, Toyokawa Shoko, participate in a performance, and receive a positive audience rating of over 90% (including verbal and online reviews).

[Current favorable rating: 93%, mission goal achieved.]

"Huh? The mission is completed?" Taku Hoshikawa was very surprised.

After the performance yesterday, Taku Hoshikawa had been waiting for the system to prompt him that the task was completed, but the system gave him a 73% approval rating.

Although Xiangzi and Boqi turned the tide in the second song and received unanimous praise from the audience, their poor performance in the first song was also real.

In addition, there was a sudden power outage at the live event, so the audience was unexpectedly tolerant to give it a 73% approval rating.

Taku Hoshikawa had no choice but to accept the result.

He was already planning Xiangzi's next performance, but he didn't expect the system to prompt him that the task was completed early in the morning.

"System, what's going on?"

The system remained silent, but automatically controlled Hoshikawa Taku's phone and jumped to a YouTube video.

This video was uploaded at 1 a.m. yesterday and currently has over 10,000 views.

The video's title is quite eye-catching - [Unprecedented experience: An incident at a live event turns into a party in seconds!?]

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows and clicked on the video.

The content of this video is the vlog of the up master watching a performance in the [Stars] performance hall last night.

The video has been edited, and the performances of the first few bands are less than three minutes in total. The up host focused on the performances of Hiroi Kikuri and others, as well as the impromptu carnival of everyone after the power outage.

The power outage, which should have been a disaster, was turned into a surprising "stage miracle" by her.

The footage of the band ending only lasts four minutes in total, and the host also focused on the time when Xiangzi performed the "small theater".

Could it be that this video has improved the audience's reputation?

Hoshikawa Taku scrolled down to the comments section.

There are hundreds of comments in the comment section, and most of the discussions are still about Hiroi Kikuri.

"[Sick Hack] had another accident. It's not surprising to think it was her."

“I hope she doesn’t get blocked by this Livehouse too!”

"I just love her free-spirited performance. When is the next time the band performs? I must go and see it!"

There are quite a lot of people who know Hiroi Kikuri, they are indeed a well-known band.

Compared to [Sick Hack], the performance of the Ending Band was not that outstanding, the focus of the up-host’s editing was not them, and they received only a few dozen comments.

However, these comments are almost entirely positive.

It's great that a new band can have such a strong stage presence. I look forward to their next performance.

The guitarist's solo was amazing, but unfortunately he was too nervous.

This keyboard player has such a steady presence, she even performed a play on the spot. It's a shame she's masked. It would be nice to know who she is.

[I feel like she's a professional entertainer, otherwise she wouldn't be wearing a mask.]

Xiangzi's performance was the most outstanding and stable among the five, and she was also the most discussed.

Everyone was guessing whether Xiangzi was a famous musician, otherwise there would be no need for him to wear a mask.

Very good...that's the kind of discussion I wanted.

The corner of Xingchuan Tuo's mouth raised slightly.

If Xiangzi didn't wear a mask, no matter how well she performed, she would only be regarded as a member of the ending band.

But now that she is wearing a mask, she has an extra layer of mystery, making people curious about her identity and increasing discussion.

But... this stage is still a little too small. Xiangzi should belong on a bigger stage.

After turning off the video, Taku Hoshikawa clasped his hands together and silently thanked the up-loader who uploaded the video.

Thanks to her video, otherwise Taku Hoshikawa would have to wait until the next performance to complete the task.

Taku Hoshikawa originally thought that the combination of the band and Toyokawa Shoko would not receive too many negative reviews.

A 90% positive review rate is easily achieved.

He also didn't expect that Hiroi Kikuri would cause an accident due to drunkenness, causing the audience's satisfaction to plummet.

This time, it gave Hoshikawa Taku a reminder.

If there are similar tasks in the future, the Internet will also be a publicity platform that cannot be missed.

Speaking of the Internet...Taku Hoshikawa thought of someone.

He searched for an account called [Guitar Hero].

The owner of the account is a girl with more than 30,000 followers, and all the videos she posted are of her playing the guitar.

She did not show her face, but Taku Hoshikawa, who knew the plot, knew that the owner of this account was Pochi.

While Pochi and the others were singing, Taku Hoshikawa was operating the lights backstage and didn't have time to record the video.

However, he did take quite a few photos.

He found a solo photo of Pochi playing on stage, opened the private message, and sent the photo.

Is this you?

Early Sunday morning, Bochi was lying in bed, browsing his phone and messaging Hongxia and the others when a private message suddenly appeared on his phone.

When Pochi opened the message and saw the photo sent by the other party, his hair stood on end.

I'm super, box!

Chapter 32: Pochi is easily eaten up

Pochi held his phone tightly, his eyes fixed on the screen, his mind in a mess.

"Who is this person? Why does he know my identity?"

In an instant, countless possibilities emerged in her mind.

Could the person be a terrifying stalker? Or perhaps a malicious anti-fan? She even began to wonder if she had accidentally offended someone.

Cold sweat slid down her forehead. She took a deep breath, barely steadying her trembling fingers, and replied to a message:

[I don't recognize the person in the photo you sent. Did you get the wrong person? ]

In less than three seconds, the other party's reply hit her heart like a bullet.

Your real name is Goto Ichiri, a freshman at Shuka High School. You have a younger sister named Goto Jiri, who is currently the lead guitarist for the band "End."

[Am I right? Or do you want me to send your home address as well?]

These lines of words struck Pochi's mind like a thunderbolt, and she froze instantly.

"Esu! He even knows my home address!"

Pochi's fingers turned white as he gripped the phone, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

There was no point in escaping, so she could only bite the bullet and send a message: [What do you want to do?]

The screen flashed, and the other party's message popped up again.

Meet me at the Shibuya Station plaza at 3:00 PM today. Otherwise...

The other party didn't finish speaking, but this "sudden stop" made Pochi even more nervous.

"What else? Will they make my identity public? Will they leak my home address? Or will they do something even more extreme, posting my photos online and printing them on various small cards..."

Pochi's imagination was at its peak at this moment, and she had seen countless horrifying scenes.

Her personal information was published online, keyboard warriors mocked her wantonly, her home address was exposed, and she and her family were harassed day and night without peace...

The more Pochi thought about it, the more scared he became, and he could hardly hold the phone.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and my sister Goto Jiri poked her head in and reminded me softly:

"Sister, it's almost noon. Don't stay in bed. Get up and eat!"

Pochi raised his head and looked at Erli's innocent smile, and an idea suddenly popped up in Pochi's mind.

Erli must not be allowed to get hurt, absolutely not!

I have to protect my sister's smile!

Pochi gritted his teeth, sat up from the bed, put his hands on Erli's shoulders, and said with a determined look:

"Erli, if one day you see me on those messy little websites, you must remember that I was forced to compromise in order to protect you!"

Erli's eyes widened, his face bewildered.

What kind of messed up things is going on in the mind of my friendless, socially anxious sister?

-------

Pochi actually agreed to meet me...

Taku Hoshikawa stared at the message from Pochi on his phone screen, feeling a bit amused and helpless.

Hoshikawa Taku admitted that he had a bit of a bad taste and wanted to test Pochi's reaction, but was she too unguarded?

I just sent her a photo, and she agreed to meet me offline, a complete stranger whose identity I didn't know?

Aren't you really afraid that I will eat her up completely?

Taku Hoshikawa feels that Pochi is a bit like the dark heroine in the Minotaur manga.

She is too gullible. Just a photo or a vague sentence can threaten her and make her submit.

After meeting her, I have to give her a good "education" to let her know that she doesn't have to listen to every piece of news.

When she becomes famous, she will receive countless messages in private messages, all of which are disgusting.

If you don’t have enough endurance, you can’t be an idol.

This time it was me who sent the message, but next time the person who sends the message might be someone with bad intentions.

Putting Pochi's matter aside for the time being, Hoshikawa Taku turned his attention back to the system.

"System, the mission is completed, it's time to distribute the rewards."

[Host, are you sure you want to issue the reward now? ]
