Chapter 485: Celebrity in Training
“Let’s come up with a catchphrase!”
Jack groaned. Brock groaned. Even The Stone in Jack’s inner world groaned.
As it turned out, being famous was hard work. Starhair had been assigned as Jack and Brock’s personal assistant, but there was a different person working on their public image. Her name was Sophie, and she was so insufferably full of energy that Jack considered giving her The Stone.
Sophie was an E-Grade djinn: toddler-sized, blue-skinned, wearing silken robes which sometimes revealed what little she had to hide, and with a pink turban on her head, under which cascaded brown hair. She wasn’t bad; in fact, Jack quite liked her company. It was just that she was so damn excited to get her work done.
She had arrived to their mansion shortly after they had, and she brought with her a storm. There were a dozen members of staff ranging from photographers and videographers carrying projection stones, to make-up artists and accompanying beautiful models. Before Jack knew it, he was taking pictures and videos with the models—only one of which was a human—in various poses and attires. Sophie was running around, scheduling Brock’s photo session, maximizing their time together.
It was so disorientingly before-the-System, that Jack briefly wondered if he was still a PhD student on Earth, dreaming up everything about robots and cultivators and planet-shattering fists. Then again, this wasn’t the life of PhD students, either.
“Is this really necessary?” he asked as Sophie sat them down at their fluffy couch, eating their gum worms spread over the counter. Jack still didn’t like those.
“Not necessary, but a very good idea!” she replied, taking a bite off the worm in her palm. Due to her small size, she couldn’t slurp them up in one go. She chomped happily. “A catchphrase makes you easier to relate to,” she said. “It’s free real estate in the minds of your fans!”
“...Like what?” Brock asked.
