Chapter 145 Acting Competition
After seeing Ye Ling off, Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi returned to their cultivation space.
Both of them felt as if they had been in another world.
After asking Sanjiu, I learned that this was not their misconception.
Fifteen years have passed since they entered the small world.
"Fifteen years!" Gu Shijiu was utterly stunned. "Won't all my fans leave?"
Fortunately, San San appeared just in time. Since becoming their official manager, his cultivation level has also been increasing.
"Congratulations to Teacher Gu and Teacher Shi on completing the new script. This time it took a bit longer."
But it's alright, time flies when you're cultivating immortality, the fans understand.
Gu Shijiu said with a stiff face, "I'm not afraid of them not understanding, I'm afraid of them dying..."
There's nothing that can be done about it; ordinary people have limited lifespans, and some things are unavoidable.
However, San San had some very good news to tell the two of them.
"The 300th Misty Immortal Realm Acting Competition, sponsored by Jingxi Group and organized by WB, is about to begin;
All cultivators at or above the fourth level of the initial stage can apply.
The competition will be broadcast live, and the winner will have the opportunity to join the cast of a live-action drama.
Teacher Gu, the competition can be participated in individually or in teams. Would you and Teacher Shi like to sign up?
The reason for the level requirements is to prevent actors with low cultivation levels from having the mental strength to adapt to the live broadcast environment.
This news sounds exciting! Shi Qi received the flyer sent by San San.
The competition is divided into seven stages: preliminary rounds, qualifying rounds, breakout rounds, challenge rounds, themed rounds, semi-finals, and finals.
To ensure fairness, all participants remained anonymous until the end of the competition, and past popularity and experience were not considered.
This is not very friendly to established actors, but Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi are still relatively unknown new actors.
Participating in this competition and winning a prize would undoubtedly be a huge benefit to one's future acting career.
"Ajiu, do you want to participate?" Shi Qi was somewhat tempted.
Gu Shijiu was also very interested: "It looks very interesting."
She really liked this new thing.
San San's virtual avatar spun around on the screen: "Both of you, trust my judgment, you will definitely shine in the competition."
Shi Qi asked with some confusion, "If we sign up as a team, what will you do?"
"Back then, I was still doing what I was good at: acting as a talent agent. You guys were live-streaming your performances, and I was promoting you off-screen."
They were all eager to get started and looked ready to make a big splash.
Gu Shijiu asked for the registration form; as the team leader, she was the one who needed to fill out the competition information.
Shi Qi was already close to level four before entering this small world, and should have successfully leveled up by now.
To prevent any accidents, the two first allocated points before starting to fill out the application form.
Perhaps because this small world was of a high level, the two of them earned the most income they had ever received.
In addition to 800 base points and 2000 experience points, Gu Shijiu can also spend 50 experience points to obtain a new piece of equipment—the Origin Chessboard.
It looks similar to what she took over at Xuanqing Sect.
It's just that it looks a bit rough and not as refined.
This chessboard, when used in conjunction with skills that help one avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, seems to achieve even better results.
After the allocation, Gu Shijiu's cultivation data made significant progress.

Looking at his intelligence score of 20, Gu Shijiu sighed inwardly.
It wasn't that she didn't want to add more, but that she could only add 4 points at a time.
I was initially quite happy to see the base score of 800, but I didn't expect that I couldn't add more points to beauty and intelligence.
Shi Qi's gains were also decent, earning 500 basic points and 1500 experience points.
After he upgraded Spring Breeze and Rain to the highest level, the skill changed, and the new skill was called Soul Nourishment.
As the name suggests, it can not only heal physical injuries and illnesses, but also benefit the soul.

Afterwards, Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi logged onto Weibo to check their homepages.
Perhaps because they hadn't appeared for over a decade, the number of fans for the two had come and gone, eventually settling at 55 for Gu Shijiu and 22 for Shi Qi.
Overall, it's not bad, considering that there haven't been any new dramas produced for a long time.
Their acting careers seem to have stagnated, as none of their dramas after "The Great Xia War God" made it into the charts.
The results look alright for the new drama, but the tens of thousands of scattered star tickets for each drama are a real headache.
Shi Qi carefully examined the information in the circle.
At first, thanks to San San's promotion, the circle was quite lively.
As Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi have not released any new works for a long time, their fans have begun to leave.
Especially during the three to five years, there was almost no voice in the industry.
Fortunately, San San has been promoting her work and has attracted many new fans.
Ten years later, a lot of new fans have joined, probably because people think the two should be coming out soon.
Generally speaking, the flow of time in the Immortal Realm is much slower than in the smaller worlds.
Very few teams like Gu Shijiu achieved a 1:1 ratio this time.
San San was so worried that she developed a few more wrinkles, fearing that she would die before the two of them.
They had been eagerly anticipating the two of them until finally they appeared.
As Shi Qi scrolled through the page, she felt that this acting competition was inevitable.
Section: Fairy Tale Kingdom
Address: Candy House, 3-167 Alice Avenue - Pink
Team Name: ...
Gu Shijiu has already started filling out the form.
A week later, the once-in-a-century acting competition, which radiates throughout the world, officially began.
Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi entered the virtual connection room at the designated time using their smart bracelets, where San San was already sitting and waiting for them.
