Chapter 57 Ten Million Prestige Points

Main Star, headquarters of Tianwen Entertainment.

Lan Yuyan was playing Jiang Qin's newly uploaded songs one by one, watching them alongside the MVs.

Frowning, he continuously took screenshots and searched for them.

None of the faces in the MVs could be found on the Star Network, and the credit for directing the MVs also belonged to Jiang Qin.

Could it be that she was not only a singer-songwriter, but also capable of screenwriting and directing?

If that were truly the case, it would be utterly terrifying.

The entertainment industry had never seen such an all-rounded talent.

However, the next moment, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed simply because he received a message.

Friend request: Jiang Qin.

Lan Yuyan hurriedly clicked accept and proactively sent a message: [Good evening, Miss Jiang. Is your health feeling better?]

Jiang Qin quickly replied: [Thank you for your concern, I am much better now.]

[My main purpose today is to express my gratitude for Tianwen Entertainment's assistance. Thank you very much for extending a helping hand during my time of crisis.]

Although such help was mixed with ulterior motives, Jiang Qin was still very grateful.

One shouldn't fear others having designs on them; what's truly frightening is having no value at all.

There are so many accidents in life, and no one can guarantee they will never run into trouble, just like what happened to her this time.

Apart from her own efforts to escape, the help and rescue from many people were also crucial.

Lan Yuyan: [I simply felt that our Federation could no longer afford to lose someone like Miss Jiang.]

Jiang Qin: [Regarding the contract we discussed before, I am very sorry, but I still cannot agree to it.

However, I believe we have another way to cooperate.

I can custom-write three songs for the people in your company; you can choose the candidates. This will be my token of appreciation for this time.

If there are suitable songs in the future, I will also prioritize the singers signed under Tianwen Entertainment.]

Lan Yuyan was stunned.

He had guessed that Jiang Qin would express her thanks, but he was also somewhat worried that she might dislike such an impure rescue.

After all, they had no prior relationship, and he had never intended to say something like "no thanks needed."

Neither did he pretend to be a philanthropist.

However, he had never meant to force Jiang Qin into acknowledging a favor either.

If she hadn't brought up gratitude, he would have magnanimously dropped the matter.

Yet since she took the initiative to bring it up, he had already figured out what kind of reward he wanted; initially, he thought having the purchasing rights to a single song would be enough.

He hadn't expected Jiang Qin to be so generous.

It seemed this female was even smarter than he had imagined.

Previously, Jiang Qin had rejected everyone, acting as though she was utterly devoted to that run-down bar and its owner, leading everyone to speculate that she was likely the aloof and stubborn type of female.

Such a female, severely brainwashed, saw things strictly in black and white.

She was extremely prone to offending people.

For a female with no background, such a personality would not take her far.

Yet Jiang Qin had actually accepted Tianwen's olive branch, which meant she indeed had the intention to grasp this network of connections.

Someone who knew how to utilize advantages to socialize would not have a poor future.

However, he hadn't expected that this female, whose mind seemed so unshakeable on the surface, was actually soft-hearted on the inside.

Come to think of it, he had heard that the bar owner treated her very well, so it was no wonder that after working there for just a few days, she seemed as though she had sworn loyalty to that owner.

No matter how high the bidding price was, she was unwilling to switch agencies.

***

Having resolved the personal favor with Tianwen Entertainment, only the Bai family remained.

Regarding the Bai family, Jiang Qin felt somewhat troubled.

She had flipped through all the direct messages on her social media platform, yet she found no one related to the Bai family.

She was completely unable to guess why on earth they had helped her.

First of all, she ruled out any prior friendship.

She did not know anyone from the Bai family, and her deceased father's side did not possess such connections either.

After wrestling with the dilemma for quite a while, she had no choice but to turn to Yu Wei for help, asking her to investigate who exactly had enlisted the Bai family, and by the way, to see if she could acquire the comm-link number of the person who helped her.

[Beep—Reputation value has exceeded ten million. System upgrade is now in progress.]

Kachunk-kachunk—

After a burst of static noise, the system prompt rang out once more:

[Unknown error. Upgrade failed. A grand gift package is now being provided as compensation to the host.]

This was already the second time, so Jiang Qin remained very calm.

Fortunately, she was in the interstellar era where the population was vast, making it relatively easy to gain ten million reputation points; thus, a failed upgrade wasn't all that heart-wrenching.

After all, her own investment had been minimal.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Jiang Qin simply went ahead and opened the gift package.

[Congratulations to the host for opening the grand gift package. You have obtained the following items:
Mental Power Enhancement Potion * 1
Ability Upgrade Stone * 1
Physique Enhancement Potion * 1
Accessory Crafting Table Patch * 1
Director Experience Pack * 1]

Aside from the mental power and physique enhancement potions, three entirely different items had been added.

First was the Ability Upgrade Stone. Upon absorbing it, her current supernatural ability would instantly rise by one level.

As for the accessory crafting table patch, it was identical to the clothing patch. Once installed into the system, she would be able to craft accessories with a single click.

However, the design blueprints had to be drawn by herself.

As for the materials, she could spend reputation points to generate them with a single click, which included system-produced materials.

Alternatively, she could also input her own materials.

There was a tiny line of hint text above: Combining different materials will yield different surprises~

Finally came the Director Experience Pack. The description stated that after consuming it, one would randomly acquire the filming experience of a director.

Jiang Qin had always firmly believed that good things only truly belonged to you once you actually obtained them, and delays invited trouble.

Therefore, after reading the descriptions, she began using them right away.

First, she drank the physique enhancement potion and felt that her body had become slightly healthier.

Next was the mental power enhancement potion.

A single bottle refreshed the mind and sharpened the wits!

Then came the ability upgrade stone. At first, she didn't know how to absorb it, but after pondering for a good while, she figured out the method and directly absorbed the sparkling stone into fine powder.

She clearly sensed the newfound strength of her ability, which, coupled with her mental power that had advanced to Grade A, gave her a premonition.

Jiang Qin had a feeling that she could probably manage to maintain a physical entity of a mutated beast for combat now.

It could be considered finally acquiring the ability to protect herself, and she was very satisfied.

Following that was the experience pack.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be a small cluster of sparkling clouds, softer than cotton candy. After swallowing it in one bite, it felt like she had just eaten a big mouthful of air.

Yet the effect was remarkably distinct.

Her mind was flooded with numerous camera angles, the matching of light and shadow, along with a wealth of experiential knowledge on how different scenes should be interpreted and performed.

When she snapped back to reality, she had the distinct sensation that she had already been a director for decades.

That sense of mastery through practice meant that filming felt nothing more than an instinct that could be completed effortlessly.

It was truly wondrous.

For Jiang Qin, who had always had to study desperately whenever she wanted to learn something new, this was the first time she experienced the joy of knowledge being directly poured into her brain.

As for the final accessory crafting table patch, she directly loaded it into the system and paid it no further mind.

Right now, she simply wanted to test out her new ability, and having just acquired the director experience pack, she was eager to put it to use.

Jiang Qin browsed through the mall, selected a movie to purchase, and then changed her clothes to go out.
