Chapter 360 - 359: Victims Behind the Holographic Reality Show, Part 12
He felt that his little schemes had fallen through again. Bei Chen had done such an impressive thing here, truly shining, and he didn’t know how much fans she’d gain. It was exactly because of this that he wanted her even more.
What should he do?
Luckily, this was the Virtual World, otherwise, he truly wouldn’t have any way. Outside, Bei Chen, the senior, was just an ordinary person, albeit a prettier and smarter ordinary person.
The month had finally come to an end, and everything had developed beyond expectations, but the audience all found it quite thrilling.
At the moment the show concluded, a voice rang out in the minds of all the guests: "Guests, the game has ended, congratulations to you all."
When this sentence was spoken, the program staff also had complex expressions.
Who could have imagined that Bei Chen would cause such a big scene in there?
Wen Chulin let out a sigh of relief. Finally, he could get out.
The audience hadn’t left the broadcast room yet and were still excitedly discussing, expecting that there should be interviews with the guests soon.
At this moment, the scene on the screen indeed changed to show all the guests lying in their nutrition pods, being helped up by the staff.
Memories flooding back, everyone looked over at Ah Chen with complex expressions.
Wen Chulin was the first to approach Ah Chen: "Senior, thankfully it was a Virtual World, you really scared me."
He walked up to Ah Chen, arms open, voice pleading: "I wonder if I could have a hug? Just as a comfort to me?"
"You didn’t turn into a zombie, you fared quite well, and yet you want comfort from me, who turned into a zombie?" Ah Chen laughed, "No way."
The audience who initially felt sorry for Wen Chulin suddenly snapped back to reality, oh right.
Obviously, the one infected was Bei Chen, yet Wen Chulin was asking her for comfort, weird, probably trying to use it as an excuse to get close to her?
[Actually Junior Wen just wants a hug, it’s nothing, right?]
[If he wants a hug, does our Bei Chen have to agree? In front of so many people, knowing that Bei Chen doesn’t like him, doing this is moral coercion. Not explaining was better, the more he explains, the more disgusting I find him.]
[Exactly, he immediately started acting pitiful, asking for hugs, quite off-putting.]
[Our Wang isn’t someone just anyone can hug, scheming man, keep your distance.]
Displeasure flashed in Wen Chulin’s eyes, but he showed a smile: "Alright, I’ll be stronger, senior."
After the guests exchanged pleasantries, they underwent interviews.
Wen Chulin smiled and said: "Thank goodness it wasn’t real."
Jie Weiwei took a deep breath: "An unforgettable experience. As my memories returned, I felt grateful." Although her luck turned later, she didn’t enjoy that kind of life.
Yun Rou couldn’t stop herself from glancing at Lu Yu before saying, "I never expected that, I instinctively saved Lu Yu, not thinking much, didn’t expect him to really listen to me."
From her shy demeanor, anyone could tell that she probably had feelings for Lu Yu.
Due to Ah Chen’s departure, some troubles arose again, besides those in the know, these people currently didn’t realize others also received tips.
Lu Yu reminisced about Yun Rou’s patience with him in the Virtual World, feeling touched inside.
He said: "I never expected to start as a zombie, thanks to Yun Rou, if it weren’t for Yun Rou speaking consistently, I wouldn’t have regained consciousness, right?"
He indeed became clear-minded from hearing Yun Rou’s voice.
"After all, Bei Chen is even more capable." Lu Yu recalled what she did in there, especially impressed, his gaze drawn to Ah Chen’s location, many were now surrounding her for interviews, asking all sorts of questions.
Yun Rou’s smile faded slightly, likely no one wouldn’t admire Bei Chen’s performance.
The public already liked her very much, now she was probably enshrined, who wouldn’t want to admire someone with such unique charm, even Lu Yu.
Among the male guests who entered, originally only Lu Yu wasn’t interested in Bei Chen, now Lu Yu couldn’t escape Bei Chen’s allure either? She lowered her head quietly, feeling somewhat sad.
"Not feeling well?" Lu Yu asked with concern, "Where does it hurt?"
Yun Rou looked up to see Lu Yu’s concern, feeling sweet again. She shook her head: "No," but looked towards Ah Chen’s location, saying, "Just feel I didn’t do well enough, I really admire Bei Chen."
"She is very impressive, but you’re not bad either." Lu Yu said, looking seriously, "Do you have anything else planned later? If not, how about we grab a meal together?"
Yun Rou was stunned, was he inviting just her? Did he mean what she thought? Whether or not, she only hesitated a moment before agreeing. She liked Lu Yu, this might be the closest chance they ever have, regardless of what future holds, there’s an opportunity now, she wouldn’t miss it.
Maybe he meant something like that?
[Are they going to get together?]
[I’ve secretly been rooting for them for a while.]
"I can only say my performance was okay," Rong Man shook her head, "Thinking about it, it’s my first time assisting in childbirth, truly a memorable memory."
Upon regaining memory, Rong Man felt grateful.
Recalling her performance in there, she felt happy again. Even if she couldn’t match Bei Chen, she probably won’t gain fewer followers; her image likely improved a lot. Undoubtedly, interviews were going to keep coming.
He Guiyun looked extremely helpless: "Luckily it was a Virtual World, I actually planned to find Bei Chen to discuss researching time travel technology with her."
The audience was amused by his remark.
"Young Master Chen, what thoughts do you have about this experience?" Interview personnel asked Chen Xingyang.
Chen Xingyang showed an arrogant demeanor: "It was alright."
He refused more interviews and moved toward Ah Chen’s place: "Bei Chen, let’s get a meal together later?"
Bei Chen’s allure inside still made him itch, and now returning to reality, he certainly didn’t want to let go.
"I’m afraid that won’t work, there’s still some things." Ah Chen directly declined.
He was still refused, but couldn’t help it, Chen Xingyang felt annoyed, leaving with a heavy heart.
The interviews ended, and guests departed.
Lu Yu and Yun Rou walked together, heading to dine.
Rong Man was picked up by the company’s car and immediately asked as soon as she got in, "Sister Liu, how was my performance this time?"
The agent beamed with a smile: "Very good, received quite a few invitations."
Rong Man breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly said: "Speaking of which, if not for the tip in my mind, I might not have been able to maintain kindness and friendliness, Sister Liu, did the company pull some strings for me?"
The agent was puzzled: "That we didn’t, what happened?"
Rong Man immediately narrated the tips that appeared in her mind; the agent frowned, but quickly relaxed: "It could be the program’s tip, unrelated to us, but don’t leak this out."
"Don’t worry, you think I’m stupid? At least now no one can bring up my past issues to smear me, it was quite difficult to turn things around. Those audiences really worry too much, relationships aren’t about being first come, first served," she dismissed with a snort, "some people can’t keep control of their man, yet blame me."
Wen Chulin was driving directly to the Wen Family.
On arrival downstairs, he dialed a number.
