Chapter 73: Let's Play Games Together

She lifted her dark, fathomless eyes and stared into the camera, speaking softly, "These were all prepared by my manager." The implication was clear: she had no idea what essential travel items were inside.

The assistant filming her was utterly stunned, as were the viewers watching the livestream.

[Haha, suddenly I think this young lady is really interesting—so genuine.]
[How many celebrities actually pack their own things? Most have assistants do it. She's so straightforward.]
[The best part is how serious she looks—so cute, hahaha.]

Yet, there were those who disapproved.

[With self-care skills like that, can she really travel? Hope she doesn’t drag the others down.]
[Clearly has connections—probably from a wealthy family. No need to pack herself, but don’t expect anyone to help you later.]
[I can't stand people like this. If you can’t handle it, just don’t come. Annoying to watch.]

Opinions varied, but most were unfavorable.

Even her appearance on this variety show drew criticism, with many claiming she only got the role through shady connections.

Yun Fu’s fans finally learned their idol was participating in the show and rushed over to support her. But upon arrival, they saw Yun Fu being criticized, mostly by fans of the senior celebrities. Their numbers were few, their abilities limited; all they could do was quietly fulfill their own responsibilities.

The pilot episodes for the other teams were also ready, and tomorrow they would officially set off.

The show hadn’t even aired yet, but the pilot livestream had already swept the trending lists.

Titles like [The Best Picks by the Movie King], [Xi Rou'er’s Stunning Bare Face], [Mysterious Guest Star], and so on.

As soon as the production team left, Joanne hurried over. Seeing Yun Fu lying down playing games again, the helplessness in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"Xiao Fu, you mustn’t play games like this when filming the show. Even if you don’t want to help, you should at least assist a bit. And today—you shouldn’t have said I packed your things..."

Joanne rattled off a string of admonishments, but when she turned and met Yun Fu’s deep, unfathomable gaze, the words instantly died on her lips.

Forget it. She’s fine as she is. As long as she’s happy.

The next day, Joanne delivered Yun Fu to the airport, gave her a few instructions, and hurriedly let her out of the car before Yun Fu’s impatience could show.

Yun Fu also received a message from Lian Hanqi.

[If anything happens, remember to tell me.]
[Okay.]
[Have fun. Don’t worry too much. If anything comes up, I’ll handle it for you.]

Upon reading these words, Yun Fu didn’t reply immediately. Her expression shifted slightly; she tucked her phone into her pocket and slowly wheeled her suitcase inside.

Meanwhile, in a van behind her, Xi Rou'er watched that graceful silhouette, saw her turn, revealing just a glimpse of her profile—a face beautiful enough to captivate the world.

Her brows furrowed sharply.

She spoke inwardly to her system.

[Help me redeem something.]
[Host, what would you like to redeem?]

A void page appeared before Xi Rou'er, visible only to her, displaying—Flawless Skin, 10,000 crystals; Delicate Waist (already redeemed); Mermaid Voice, 20,000 crystals...

Each time she completed a task, she earned crystals. By now, she had accumulated around 26,000.

Crystals could also be exchanged for favor points—one favor point for 100 crystals—but Xi Rou'er had never made such a poor deal.

[I want to redeem Flawless Skin.]
[10,000 crystals. Host, do you wish to confirm redemption?]
[Confirm.]

Her skin suddenly felt cool. Xi Rou'er glanced down—her skin was now poreless.

The jealousy she’d felt upon seeing Yun Fu instantly transformed into confidence.

Ahead, her manager checked the time, turned back just about to call Xi Rou'er, but the words changed as she spoke, "Rou'er, did you go to the beauty salon yesterday? Your skin looks so much better!"

"Wen-jie, you know I was filming at home yesterday. Maybe it’s because I slept well."

Wen-jie nodded, said nothing further. "Right, it’s about time. You should head in now."

"Okay."

Seeing Xi Rou'er, the fans outside the airport erupted in shouts.

"Ahhh, it’s Goddess Rou'er—so beautiful!"
"Rou'er is even more stunning in real life than on camera. Her skin is glowing!"
"As expected from Xi Rou'er. Gorgeous!"

With a graceful smile, Xi Rou'er entered the waiting lounge full of pride, expecting to be greeted by the same adoring scene.

Instead, she saw—

"Wow, how did you manage that? Quick, quick, Xiao Fu, save me!"
"Gu-ge, stop following Xiao Fu—look at me!"
"Hey, wait for me!"

Yun Fu and Gu Haoyuan sat in the same row, Mu Bai and guest star Ouyang Ting had pulled up chairs to join them, all excitedly holding their phones.

Except for absent Teacher He Fang, the four seemed like old friends.

Time shifted back twenty minutes.

Yun Fu was the first to arrive, sitting lazily in a chair and starting to play games.

Initially, many livestream viewers were still criticizing her.

[She really thinks she’s some pampered heiress—playing games as soon as the livestream starts. Ridiculous.]
[Sits down and immediately plays games—does she think this is her own home?]
[Unbelievable—what kind of people are allowed here? Why haven’t the others arrived yet? I don’t want to see her!]
[The smaller the celebrity, the more trouble they cause.]

Then others arrived—Ouyang Ting and Mu Bai entered together.

They were greeted by the sound of gaming.

Ouyang Ting was delighted to see Yun Fu, though she didn’t show it; Mu Bai, on the other hand, immediately went over to take a look.

And thus, the gaming addict found a companion.

"Wow, awesome! Miss, can you carry me?"

Yun Fu had just finished a round. Seeing someone suddenly appear before her, she frowned, then relaxed at his words, nodding.

Ouyang Ting quickly took out her phone as well. "Me too, I want to play!"

"That means we’re still one short."

Just then, Movie King Gu Haoyuan entered dragging his suitcase.

Before he could greet anyone, Mu Bai grabbed him: "Gu-ge, quick, quick! We need one more for the game—let Miss Yun carry us! She’s amazing!"

Under the gaze of viewers and staff, they skipped introductions and launched straight into their "friendly" gaming session.

[Haha, sorry, Mu Bai’s just naturally outgoing—hope you don’t mind.]
[Yes, our kid really loves games. He’s young, please don’t criticize.]
[Didn’t expect the ascetic Movie King Gu to play games, and he looks pretty good at it.]
[I’m a fan of Movie King Gu—I never knew he had this side. He seems so relaxed.]
