Meanwhile.
In order to earn money from a part-time job, the True Young Master Wang Zhe was working as a security guard by the edge of the audience seating area.
After seeing that green-tea guy Wang Mingxuan's "tragic state" on the stage, forgive him, but he really couldn't hold back from laughing out loud.
But that laugh ended up causing trouble.
He had just wanted to grab the railing beside him and wipe away the tears he'd laughed out at the corner of his eye, when he got bumped by someone rushing past.
In an instant, he lost his balance, and unlucky as he was, he tumbled straight down from the high steps, rolling all the way down.
(This is the previously triggered [Bad Luck Card] still wreaking havoc...)
Wang Zhe's miserable screams rang out as well.
"Ah—It's broken! My calf seems to be broken!"
"My hand! Don't step on my hand!"
And at this moment, because of Wang Mingxuan's situation, the crowd in the audience seats had become a chaotic mess.
With the venue roaring with noise, plus everyone getting worked up, hardly anyone noticed Wang Zhe rolling to a stop by their feet.
As a result, he was stepped on multiple times by unaware spectators, even getting a size 43 sneaker's black sole mark right on his face.
[Wang Zhe, who was watching the commotion, continues to be plagued by misfortune. First he was bumped down the stairs by a passerby rushing past, breaking his leg, and then he was stepped on several times by unaware audience members, leaving a shoe print on his face. What a mess! Main character's luck -300. Congratulations, you have received rewards: [Proficiency +30,000], [Lifespan +1 year]!]
Mu An raised an eyebrow.
All he wanted to say was... an unexpected bonus?
Still, it felt a bit like a loss...
The man instinctively glanced at the reward he had just received: [Temporary Double Emotion Reward Experience Card *1].
[Temporary Double Emotion Reward Experience Card]: Please note the specific name description. This is an experience card that can only double the heroine's emotional rewards!
Duration: 2 hours!
——————
It only doubles emotional rewards?
Well, that's fine!
Although it's not as good as the previous tenfold reward, getting double rewards is still pretty nice.
Mu An hesitated for a bit, but in the end he still chose to use this trial card directly.
Actually, sooner or later it was about the same—wasn't it just farming rewards anyway?
He was already extremely skilled at this kind of thing!
[Using [Temporary Double Emotion Reward Experience Card *1]! Activating...]
[Item used successfully! From now on, all emotional rewards you receive from the heroine will be doubled!]
Since he had already used it, he definitely had to test it out.
"Zhirou, give me a kiss?"
Mu An tilted his head and whispered softly into Su Zhirou's ear.
Still the same familiar, foolproof trick!
"Huh?"
The girl's expression carried a hint of confusion.
'Here? With so many people?'
Naturally, this "so many people" didn't mean the audience at the venue or anything.
The girl had long learned to selectively ignore random passersby.
What really made her nervous was the presence of Gong Youbai and Shen Ling'er—one grown-up and one little girl!
Su Zhirou first guiltily glanced at Shen Ling'er to Mu An's right, then looked at the little girl who was staring unblinkingly at the stage. Her small hand, somewhat tense, pinched the hem of her skirt.
Then, in some instant, like launching a lightning war, she closed in at light speed and firmly carried out the man's 'order.'
Then she retreated at light speed as well, and even took the opportunity to check the two girls' situation again.
After discovering that she seemed not to have exposed herself, her heart was still thumping wildly.
Although this kind of intimate behavior wasn't rare anymore, this time she inexplicably felt a strong sense of sneaking around.
And it was kind of... thrilling!
[Emotional fluctuations of nervousness and secret delight from the girl +19. Congratulations, you have received a reward: [Proficiency +3,000]!]
[Because you used a special item, the reward is doubled. Congratulations, you have obtained the reward: [Proficiency +6,000]!]
...
Su Zhizhou thought she'd done it flawlessly, with no one noticing.
Little did she know, her actions had already fallen into the eyes of those who cared.
For example—
Shen Ling'er, who sat upright beside Mu An.
And Shen Pan'er, who had just gone on stage to perform a song.
For the former, her peripheral vision happened to catch it.
Her body unconsciously leaned a little closer toward Mu An—she might not even understand herself why she did that.
[From Shen Ling'er's envy, emotional fluctuation +16. Congratulations, you have obtained the reward: [Parallel World Random Songs *6]!]
[Because you used a special item, the reward is doubled. Congratulations, you have obtained the reward: [Parallel World Random Songs *12]!]
As for the latter, when she stepped onto the stage, her gaze went straight toward Mu An's side—and she just so happened to witness herself being openly 'cheated on' by another woman.
[From Shen Pan'er's jealousy and anger, emotional fluctuation +16. Congratulations, you have obtained the reward: [Cultivation Years +2 years]!]
[Because you used a special item, the reward is doubled. Congratulations, you have obtained the reward: [Cultivation Years +4 years]!]
Mu An froze.
He'd only meant to farm a single reward—how did it end up becoming three?
A real unexpected bonus?
As for Shen Pan'er… come to think of it, Mu An hadn't looked closely at her info yet.
——————
[Eye of Appraisal], activate!
Name: Shen Pan'er
Identity: Female Lead
Fortune: 20000
Basic Info: She is a currently popular 'little flower' in the entertainment industry—can be cool or cute, dares to love and hate, and is one of the stunning Shen-family twin sisters!
Because of a drowning incident, she fell in love with you at first sight. This time, she plans to confess to you on the stage of the freshman gala.
Has quite a strong possessiveness and intends to fight for the position of main wife!
Severe late-stage love-brain patient!
Host, please handle carefully—the girl may go to extremes, such as… becoming yandere?
——————
Strong possessiveness? Fighting for the main-wife position? Late-stage love-brain?
Mu An raised an eyebrow.
And when the topic of 'main wife' came up, two names popped into his head instinctively.
One was Mu Wanrou, who currently managed the entire Tianmu Group.
The other was his treasure girl, Chu Youmeng!
Though the gap between them seemed pretty huge… forget it—why think about that now?
When it came to this kind of thing, Mu An simply decided to lie flat and go with the flow.
Besides...
'As a professional villain, my world can accommodate multiple leek protagonists—so why can't it accommodate multiple female leads too?'
At this moment.
On stage.
Shen Pan'er, dressed in a gorgeous formal gown, stared intensely and said, "Next, I want to dedicate this song to someone very important to me!"
The instant those words came out, everyone was shocked.
Because not long ago, some other guy had said something similar.
Only now he was probably already being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
So would Shen Pan'er, a popular actress in the entertainment world, also choose to do something 'abstract'?
'Please let her break this curse…'
Everyone silently prayed.
Under countless expectant gazes, the intro began.
It was lively and sweet—just listening to it made people feel comfortable.
The story that was about to be told seemed to already be hidden inside.
Like the male and female leads of a romance drama—the process of falling in love might be full of twists and turns, but in the end, it would surely bear the happiest fruit.
At the same time, Shen Pan'er began to sing.
Her voice was like heavenly music—crisp and sweet, clear and bright.
As if in an instant, it pulled everyone back to the purest days of youth.
