Chapter 017 Wish Plan
Xie Chi was stunned for only a moment, then he regained his composure and leaned lazily against the wall, waiting for the two policemen to finish their inspection and leave.
He still remembered the results of the previous investigation - those people selected by the APP all disappeared for a period of time. After reappearing in the public eye, they either died mysteriously within a short day, or had got what they wanted.
Therefore, only after death or fulfilling his wish and unbinding the APP, can he return to the real world in his physical form. During transactions with the APP, he can touch physical objects and live a normal life, but he cannot be seen by the naked eye. Perhaps Yan Jing can see him if he opens his Yin-Yang eyes.
To put it bluntly, he is no different from a ghost now.
He could even create a "supernatural event" to scare away the two policemen, but Xie Chi was not that boring.
A policeman searched and asked, "What's the situation with the missing person Xie and his parents? This family is so weird. You said his mother didn't care about him, but she was the first to find out and call the police when her son was missing. You said his mother cared about him, but his parents immigrated abroad a long time ago, leaving him alone in the country..."
"And the most amazing thing is, when we asked his mother how she found out her son was missing, she couldn't explain it, but she was certain that her son was missing, and asked us to check it out. She didn't look nervous at all, and she didn't act like a mother. She just... just casually, um, how should I put it, it's probably like - I'm letting you know that my son is missing, and you can check it out if you want."
"Yes, yes, that's the feeling!" another one immediately echoed loudly.
Xie Chi curled the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He didn't expect that his nominal mother would care whether he was missing or not.
She knew she was missing because he had... a positioning chip.
Xie Chi followed the distant memory and touched a certain place on his right shoulder. It was smooth and warm, but it also had some kind of innate cold mark.
Pets can easily get lost, which can make their owners sad, so the imprint exists so that the owner can always find his pet at the first opportunity.
The woman must have found that she couldn't locate herself, so she called the police.
The two policemen left after searching in vain. Then the cell phone rang in the bedroom and Xie Chi went over to pick it up.
Yan Jing sent several messages in the friend column:
Yan Jing: Xie brother, congratulations. I told you that you can do it!
Yan Jing: We are soul bodies now, how exciting!
Xie Chi replied with two sentences, and just as he was about to turn off the screen of his phone, a message popped up -
[Your agent Zhou Tong invites you to his office. Do you agree? ]
Xie Chi wanted to meet that idiot, so he clicked [Confirm. ].
The next second, the scene in front of him began to twist and tear. When Xie Chi opened his eyes again, he was already standing in front of an office door.
The transmission function of the APP can be used in this way, Xie Chi smiled.
"Come in!" Zhou Tong's voice was filled with anger.
Xie Chi chuckled and pushed the door open.
There were still seven or eight people standing in the small office at this time. Zhou Tong was surrounded in the middle. He was a man with a somewhat sinister face. He looked to be in his thirties, thin, with thin lips and small distance between eyes. He was dressed like a white-collar worker.
Several people nearby secretly looked at the gentleman who came in, with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
"Little Shen Yi is here." Someone said sarcastically.
"230 points. Actor Shen only scored 210 points back then. Brother Zhou, you've never trained such an amazing newcomer before. You should cherish him."
Zhou Tong sneered: "Little Shen Yi? You really know how to flatter him."
Xie Chi glanced at the man coldly: "Don't call me Little Shen Yi."
Zhou Tong sarcastically said, "You still know how to be modest?"
Xie Chi smiled slightly: "No, he is 210, I am 230, I am better than him, everyone can see it, so don't insult me by calling me Little Shen Yi, thank you."
"Arrogant!" Zhou Tong was choked and furious. The actors who had the same agent were all in disbelief and suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
Xie Chi is friendly to others only to meet social needs, but deep down he is actually arrogant and narcissistic.
To him, if something seems impossible, then it is truly impossible. Awe is the disillusionment beyond possibility. He is not the continuation of someone else's name, he is Xie Chi.
Zhou Tong couldn't get any good out of his talk, so he threw a stack of contracts to Xie Chi and said with a straight face, "You should apologize to me here and sign the contract, and I won't care about it."
A strong jealousy immediately appeared in the eyes of several people nearby. They also knew what Zhou Tong was thinking. Xie Chi's potential was obvious to all. With his joining, Zhou Tong would definitely receive a steady stream of points.
The relationship between agents and actors in the APP is similar to that in reality. The stronger the actor, the more accommodating the agent. The weaker the actor, the more accommodating the agent. For people like them who have only a few hundred points and don't know much, they will generally be randomly assigned an agent to take them. Correspondingly, they have to pay points to please the agent in exchange for the necessary information and help, so that the agent who knows more can screen and select horror movies that are more suitable for them.
An agent is also an actor, and it is a side job that actors can choose to earn points after reaching a certain point. The level of an agent is generally one level higher than the actors they manage, and can indeed help low-level actors.
While the few people were thinking, Xie Chi had already roughly scanned the contract and suddenly sneered.
He didn't expect that Zhou Tong also implemented a guild system, where new actors who joined had to pay 50% of their points to the guild in exchange for recognition from all the actors in the guild and unilateral advice and support from Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong was instantly enraged when he heard that laugh and stood up angrily: "What do you mean?!"
Xie Chi shrugged and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to write it off."
Xie Chi never thought about reconciliation. After all, idiots are not formed in one day, and they will continue to be idiots. Since these actors standing here can "compromise" and hand over 50% of the points to the guild, they definitely can't help him at all. They are just a mob.
As for Zhou Tong, maybe he does have the experience that he needs temporarily, but it is definitely not worth exchanging his points for.
Anyone who wants his points is preventing him from meeting his brother as soon as possible.
Xie Chi's eyes were icy cold.
The other actors were shocked by Xie Chi's choice and were speechless for a long time. Zhou Tong was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You'd better think it over! Don't be so ungrateful !"
He wanted to reconcile because he cared about Xie Chi's points, but if Xie Chi didn't listen, he wouldn't bear it. So what if he had potential? He had the means to strangle him in the cradle. He had seen too many talented newcomers die in infancy. Xie Chi only killed the most rubbish Zhou Wen. There were so many people here who were better than Zhou Wen.
Xie Chi chuckled and said, "I think I see things clearly. You are the one who doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness."
Xie Chi knew that it would be very troublesome to offend Zhou Tong, but he would not bear it, as he had been spoiled by his brother. Anyway, there was no way to retreat, an apology was impossible, and paying points was out of the question, so he could only face the challenge head-on. It was that simple, and having no choice was the best choice.
Several actors looked incredulous. Is this guy... crazy?
Xie Chi loosened his grip, and the dozen-page contract in his hand fell to the ground. He walked out with one hand in his pocket, his back as thin and straight as a cedar.
The people nearby watched Xie Chi disappear and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, does he take himself too seriously?"
Zhou Tong slammed the table and sat down angrily: "Before, Zhou Wen's agent called us and asked us to give an explanation for Zhou Wen's death. I gave him 50 points to settle the matter!"
The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the angrier he became. Xie Chi originally had 230 points, and if he signed the contract he could get half of that, which is 115 points. No matter how you look at it, it's a profit, but now he has lost 50 points for nothing.
Someone asked tentatively: "Then are you ready to..."
Some of them have acted in more than one horror film, and they still have white titles. They often fail to get awards for comprehensive evaluations. Suddenly, when they see a newcomer who is even more dazzling than the original best actor, they feel very uncomfortable and hope that he will offend others and destroy himself.
Zhou Tong sneered, and cast a fierce look towards the door: "He asked for it."
It just so happened that he was going to be in a zombie horror movie of good quality three days later. Although Xie Chi's title level was too low to be in this movie, his agent had special authority and could allow his actors to jump one level in quality and enter a slightly higher-level horror movie.
By the time……
Zhou Tong bent down to pick up the scattered contracts on the ground and sneered.
…
At the same time, in the same building, another agent pushed open the door of the Best Actor's Lounge.
The lounge was decorated in a low-key and luxurious style. A tall and upright man was standing with his back to the door, tending to the flowers and plants at hand.
Shen Yi has been sitting at the top of the APP score list for more than a year and is a well-deserved actor.
"Is there something?" Shen Yi turned his head to the side and frowned slightly. It was obvious that his mood was disturbed. His handsome face was full of impatience.
The agent subconsciously stood up straight: "There is a newcomer. I paid special attention to him. He looks a little like you."
He said it conservatively, but in his heart he added, "More than that, they are more than a little bit similar, the similarity is at least 30%, but the two people have completely different temperaments, that person looks more gentle."
"That..." The agent wanted to mention the person who erased Shen Yi's record.
Shen Yi interrupted him: "Have you been too idle recently?"
I wasn't even interested in knowing that person's name.
The agent suddenly felt that he was nosy and stupid for comparing a newcomer who had just passed the novice book with the top 1 of the APP. Shen Yi was already giving him face by not scolding him.
There are so many newcomers, what does it have to do with Shen Yi? It's just that they look a bit like him and happened to break Shen Yi's record, but what can a newbie video prove? Maybe it's just luck, but Shen Yi didn't rely on luck to climb to this position.
The agent instantly gave up the idea of continuing to pay attention to the newcomer.
Once there is a Shen Yi in the APP, there won’t be a second one.
…
Back in the bedroom again, Xie Chi opened the APP and typed "How to change agent" in the search box.
There are two answers found:
1. When the points reach 1,000, there is one chance to change automatically.
2. The agent dies unexpectedly in a horror film. Note: An agent is also an actor, and it is a side job that actors can choose when they reach a certain score.
He might not be able to reach 1,000 points in the short term, so Xie Chi felt helpless. He put down his phone and went to take a shower. Just as he came out of his pajamas, the phone on the table rang again. Xie Chi went over to open the APP.
[Congratulations on completing the novice compulsory film and officially becoming a qualified actor. Your wish-fulfillment plan has now been designed. ]
Wish fulfillment plan?
Xie Chi understood the meaning of this word, clicked on the plan sent to him and glanced at it casually, his hands began to tremble.
Actor Xie Chi's wish fulfillment plan:
Your wish: Let Xie Xinglan obtain a body.
There are two implementation schemes for APP design:
Option 1: You can select a corpse owned by the APP and inject Xie Xinglan's soul into the corpse.
Step 1: Choose a body you like.
Step 2: Separate your soul and Xie Xinglan's soul.
Step 3: Inject Xie Xinglan’s soul.
After step 3, you can choose to consume points to own it for a short period of time, or choose to redeem it permanently once you reach the required points.
Corpse? The veins on Xie Chi's forehead jumped, his heart was beating a little faster, and he looked down quickly.
Option 2: You find an artist to model the body first, and then inject Xie Xinglan's soul into the body when needed.
Step 1: You will find a suitable artist to design Xie Xinglan and model him.
Step 2: We complete the manufacturing (we can guarantee 100% restoration as long as the artist draws it well).
Step 3: Put the model of Xie Xinglan into your APP. When necessary, you can split the soul into the model to let him out.
Same as above after step 3.
[You have completed the novice mandatory film, and can now proceed to step 1. ]
Xie Chi stood there in a daze, without making any movement for a long time. The surprise came too quickly for him to cope with. For the first time, Xie Chi felt a sense of unreality.
Painter?
He is a painter by profession, although he paints horror paintings, but he has imagined what Xie Xinglan looks like countless times since he was a child.
Designed by Xie Xinglan...
Xie Chi didn't even dare to think about it.
His hands were shaking uncontrollably, and Xie Xinglan's low laugh suddenly came into his mind: "Xiao Chi, I might be made to measure for you."
Xie Chi was stunned for a few seconds, then rushed into the bathroom, rinsed his face violently, lowered his head, and his hands on the faucet turned slightly white due to the force.
Listening to the sound of running water, Xie Chi gradually felt real and at peace. He slowly raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror under the bright white and soft light.
The man's eyebrows were soaked with water, his face was a little pale, and his tightly pursed lips carefully raised a little arc, as if he was afraid that if he laughed too wildly, his dream would be shattered and he would wake up.
His brother was drawn by him, it was his, tailor-made.
Xie Xinglan said gently: "Xiao Chi, it's true."
He could only confirm it over and over again.
After a long while, Xie Chi said "hmm" very softly.
The young man in his early twenties suddenly ran into the living room like a child, without caring about his image, and haphazardly took out a spare easel and paints. The orange-yellow light in the living room seemed to be warm when it shone on him.
Xie Chi mixed the paint: "Brother, what do you want to look like?"
Xie Xinglan said lazily: "The way Xiaochi likes it."
Xie Chi paused as he picked up the pen, raised the corners of his mouth wantonly, and said in a wayward tone: "Then it's all up to my liking?"
"Yeah." Xie Xinglan chuckled.
"You have no opinion on what the painting should look like?"
"Um."
When they finally drew to a certain indescribable position, Xie Xinglan couldn't help but offer a suggestion: "Draw it bigger."
Xie Chi: “…”
He was silent for two seconds, then said expressionlessly, "I'm afraid I can't swallow it."
