Chapter 123 Phantom Sunglasses
With these 12 stamina points, you can have some protection.
Jiang Bai finally felt that he had found a way to make a living in this world full of crises.
At least, most ordinary people can no longer defeat him.
However, it's still not safe.
"System, are there any items that directly increase stamina or charm? I want to max them out immediately!"
[Ding! Back to host, increasing basic attribute points (such as stamina, intelligence, and charm) is a rare resource, currently only obtainable through the [Lucky Draw], and is not available for sale in the shop.]
[As for the small items and accessories that increase attributes, with your current financial resources, you can't afford to buy more than a few.]
"Tch, just wait, one day I'll buy all those items!"
Jiang Bai pursed his lips.
Since attribute points can't be bought, the only option is to upgrade skills.
Looking at the popularity points that were still jumping wildly, seemingly inexhaustible, Jiang Bai felt a surge of pride.
"This feeling..."
"It feels as satisfying as emptying your shopping cart on Singles' Day!"
"Out with the old, in with the new! Time to spend!"
Jiang Bai considered his upcoming itinerary.
The next episode of "The Voice of China" is in two weeks, and that's where Jiang Baizhi in drag will be competing. There's no rush for now.
But right now, the most pressing matters are the upcoming filming of the TV series "Beauty's Rival in Palace" and the freshman welcome party where they will be in front of the entire school!
"Although I didn't have many scenes playing Zhang Yan, and even though I had a character experience card, my intermediate acting skills were definitely not enough to compete with those veteran actors, and I was likely to show my inadequacy."
"Singing is the same. Although I have the experience from 'Love You,' I want to be an all-around superstar. I can't rely on the system to feed me forever, can I?"
Having made up his mind, Jiang Bai's fingers flew across the keyboard as he began a shopping spree in the online store.
"System! Upgrade me!"

[Skill upgrade in progress.......]
boom!
Countless pieces of knowledge and insights flooded my mind in an instant.
Jiang Bai felt as if his throat had been tempered a thousand times, and his control over his vocal cords had reached the micrometer level.
My understanding of acting suddenly became clear, as if I had been acting for decades. My grasp of emotions and control of micro-expressions were effortless!
And a good sense of camera presence.
He now feels that even with his eyes closed, he can sense where the camera is and know which angle is the most photogenic and makes him look the thinnest.
"That's what you call professional!"
Adding to the 10 I spent on the [Stamina Breakthrough Card] before.
This wave directly consumed 30 popularity points!
In the past, Jiang Bai would have been heartbroken.
But now...
He glanced at his balance.
Thanks to the continued popularity of "The Voice of China", the long-tail traffic it brings is like a flood that has been released, spending quickly and growing rapidly!
In the blink of an eye, the balance has rebounded to 230,000!
"Is this the joy of exposure from big-name variety shows?"
"Since we still have money, let's keep buying!"
Jiang Bai turned his gaze to the [Special Skills Area].
He thought of the more than two million yuan in cash that was still lying in his bank account.
Making money from money is the key to success.
[Basic Stock Market Insights]
Price: 50,000 popularity points.
[Skill Description: Allows viewing the 24-hour trend of one stock daily (only red/green trend is supported, excluding specific numerical values).]
"purchase!"
Jiang Bai did not hesitate.
Although it's only a beginner level, and he can only see the general rise and fall, for someone like him who wants to do some short-term investment, it's no different from picking up money!
Just as he was about to close the store and move on to the song section.
My gaze was suddenly drawn to an inconspicuous little icon in the corner.
Those were black sunglasses.
【Phantom Anti-Spy Sunglasses】.
Price: 100,000 popularity points.
Jiang Bai clicked on the details and his eyes widened instantly.
[Item Description: This is more than just a pair of sunglasses.]
Feature 1: Versatile shape. It can transform into any small accessory (such as a ring, earring, bracelet, ordinary glasses, etc.) at will, making it easy to carry.
Feature 2: Absolute privacy.
[Once worn, within a 50-meter radius centered on the host, any maliciously targeted filming device (including telephoto lenses, pinhole cameras, mobile phone snapshots, etc.) will automatically undergo Gaussian blurring, rendering facial features unrecognizable.]
[Note: This is a celebrity's ultimate anti-paparazzi gadget! The last line of defense for cross-dressers! Mom won't have to worry about me being photographed outside the bathroom anymore!]
Holy crap!!!
Jiang Bai almost cried out.
This is fucking...
This is exactly what he lacks right now!
Real-time strategic resources!
What is he most afraid of right now?
It's not that we don't have money, it's not that we don't have skills.
Instead—his identity was exposed!
Every time he changed clothes, he had to find a secluded toilet and look around like a thief, afraid of being photographed by passing classmates or ubiquitous paparazzi.
If this thing exists....
That's like carrying a mosaic generator with you everywhere you go!
Even if someone takes a picture of it, it will be blurry!
"A necessity! An absolute necessity!"
"100,000 popularity points? Buy them!"
"Even if it only gets 200,000 popularity points, I'll still buy it!"
Jiang Bai's hand trembled as he pressed the buy button.
[Ding! Purchase successful!]
[Consumes 100,000 popularity points.]
A pair of seemingly ordinary black sunglasses appeared in the system space.
Jiang Bai took it out, a thought forming in his mind.
The sunglasses in his hand instantly twisted and deformed, turning into a simple silver pinky ring, which he slipped onto his little finger.
"Amazing!"
Jiang Bai looked at the ring on his hand and felt a sense of security.
"With this, I won't be afraid of being photographed by paparazzi when I change into women's clothes, even if I have a van."
"That 100,000 was totally worth it!"
Looking at the remaining 80,000+ popularity points in the balance.
Jiang Bai felt no heartache whatsoever; instead, he felt a sense of security, as if he were fully armed.
My skills are maxed out!
All gear is ready!
We have enough money!
Jiang Bai then turned to look at the song section.
During the entire Voice of China competition, you'll get a 1% discount!
In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the purchase price will be 1/100 of the original price for the next few months!
