Chapter 158 Qualifying Match (1)
"So Fu Yichen really is worth a fortune. It's a bit of a pity."
"Haha, the competition was a huge upset, with two dark horses emerging. Isn't that more interesting than the veteran actors winning the award as a matter of course?"
"Yes, I'm going to vote for He6187."
......
Many professionals have also taken notice of Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi and have begun to analyze their acting skills.
The moment San San saw the video, she recognized the two people.
He was all too familiar with this unique performance style.
The unlucky ones who were eliminated in the first round also received more attention because they were on the same stage as Wan Jin, Gu Shijiu, and Shi Qi.
A reporter asked a eliminated contestant, "Is this your first time participating in a competition?"
"No." The contestant shook his head. "Last time I participated, I at least made it to the second round."
He got angrier and angrier as he spoke: "This 6187 is really bad. He not only arrested us, but also tortured us and threatened us!"
Do you know how I felt when I heard his last words?
I almost thought I wasn't in a virtual world anymore. How could AI set up such a scenario? I thought I was stuck.
The contestant, still shaken, breathed a sigh of relief.
The reporter smiled kindly and said, "The use of torture was suggested by the NPCs."
In other words, it was set by AI.
"They're all the same, how come there are people standing with NPCs?" the player complained.
Of course, no one sympathized with him; everyone who saw the video was laughing.
San San was very happy to see the data. Although the official identity had not yet been revealed, he trusted his judgment.
Once the competition ends and Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi's true identities are revealed, it will surely attract many new fans.
Since he shared his speculation within the industry, his fans have been much more enthusiastic than ever before.
The final title of this competition is "Double Identity," which uses Shi Qi's experiences as the main storyline to generate the final plot.
Of the 500,000 participants, more than 95% were eliminated in the preliminary round, leaving only about 20,000 qualified for the next round.
Neither Gu Shijiu nor Shi Qi knew these things.
After spending a few days enjoying free food and drinks in the food court of the competition hall, the two entered the next stage of the competition—the qualifying round.
Gu Shijiu had just woken up when she felt weak all over and her back was covered in cold sweat. There was also a maid standing next to her.
I haven't felt this way in a long time, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it.
The last time I felt something was wrong was when I was seriously ill. Could this person also be a terminally ill patient?
Gu Shijiu glanced around. There was a wooden bed, blue brick floor, a screen next to the bed, and some industrial products on the table in the outer room.
She's quite knowledgeable now and guessed it was probably during the Republic of China era.
Gu Shijiu's current identity is the Chen family matriarch, Liang Huanying, the wife of the late Boss Zhou.
Well, she's only in her thirties and she's already considered an old lady.
Gu Shijiu had a headache. She stretched out her arm, and it looked alright; she wasn't too old.
My health is just too poor; even breathing is difficult.
The story only mentions that because her son was a bad person, she ended up destitute on the streets, and her daughter was sold to a wealthy man in his forties as a concubine. That's all.
Gu Shijiu thought that since she was here, it shouldn't be that she would try to steal food if there wasn't any.
Just then, an older maidservant brought in tea and said, "Madam, the second young master has been kneeling outside for two hours."
"Oh." Gu Shijiu was completely clueless, "Then kneel down."
It looks like it's another storyline she's not good at.
A large number of people have already gathered in the live stream room to watch.
For some reason, the audience was stunned to see a blank expression on a face that was not young.
The maid was somewhat surprised, as the mistress had been paying extra attention to her two sons ever since the master left.
As she hesitated whether to offer more words of advice, Gu Shijiu clutched her stomach and said, "Is there any food? I'm so hungry."
Although the maid felt that her wife's tone was a bit strange today, she was still overjoyed.
"We have noodles and vegetables, and there's chicken soup warming on the stove. What would you like to eat?"
My wife is in her thirties, but she doesn't take good care of herself and rarely feels like eating.
The cook at the stove worried herself sick every day, but she couldn't make her wife happy.
That's true, she can't be happy if she has such a wicked child in her family.
Gu Shijiu accepted all the dishes offered: "Bring all the dishes over, I'll eat whatever I want. I'll make some chicken noodle soup with some shredded chicken and an egg."
Hmm, was I a little too proactive today?
Perhaps the lady had come to her senses, for the maid walked briskly toward the kitchen.
Outside the room, the second young master, Chen Wangxi, knelt under the blazing sun, while a young girl peered out from afar.
When they saw the maid come out, their eyes lit up, but to their surprise, the maid left without even looking up.
An hour later, Gu Shijiu, having eaten and drunk his fill, lay on the bed and dozed off.
This body is in poor condition and gets sleepy easily.
Another person was kneeling outside the courtyard; it was Liang Huanying's eldest son, Chen Wangdong.
Perhaps sensing that his mother was truly angry, Chen Wangdong knelt down as well, adding weight to the argument.
Chen Wangdong was the eldest son who inherited the family business and was previously the most favored by Liang Huanying.
But Gu Shijiu didn't even know what had happened, so he couldn't care less about his two sons.
By the time she heard the maid's report for the third time, she was no longer surprised.
This time it's Qiu Niang, the girl who was looking around from a distance earlier.
Gu Shijiu found it amusing; what was going on?
She didn't say anything, mainly because she wanted to see who else would kneel down.
After a while, someone else actually came.
However, the person who came was not there to kneel; it was another young woman, Chen Wangnan, the eldest daughter of the Chen family.
"Mother, I heard that my second brother is going to break off his engagement with the Du family. Is that true?"
Chen Wangnan was seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a Western-style dress, with a few tiny beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.
Gu Shijiu: Painless motherhood, how did it come so suddenly?
Whether she should say yes or no, Gu Shijiu was unsure and could only sigh.
Fortunately, Chen Wangnan was very helpful, talking non-stop like a machine gun.
"My second brother is such a scoundrel! Now that he's backing out of the engagement, what will happen to Miss Du's reputation?"
And that Qiu Niang, Mother, you've been too good to her in the past.
Now look what's happened! The eldest brother wants a divorce because of her, and the second brother wants to call off the wedding. What kind of mess is this?
If word gets out, people will say that the Chen family is unethical.
Oh, Gu Shijiu roughly understood. She had seen the drama of two men fighting over one woman in TV series.
Now both of these men are her sons, so who is that Qiu Niang?
Gu Shijiu didn't understand; it wasn't important.
The question is, how should this play be performed?
Gu Shijiu sighed. She couldn't possibly kill her own son...
Chen Wangnan thought she was sighing for her two good-for-nothing sons, and said resentfully.
"Mother, if you ask me, let the eldest brother and the second brother go if they want to. They need to be taught a lesson."
As for Qiu Niang, she has parents, so we can just send her back to them.
"We can't afford to raise a girl like that."
Finally, someone gave an idea. Gu Shijiu was very happy and nodded repeatedly: "Let's do it this way."
"Huh?" Chen Wangnan looked at his elderly mother in shock.
