Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 123 The Daily Life of Raising an Internet Celebrity Cat

"Before I left for disaster relief, I received an interview invitation, an invitation to an indoor reality show, and a request to shoot a dark-themed costume fitting photoshoot for the TV series 'Still Life Fairy.' All of them were scheduled for two weeks later. I thought I would go back then, so it wouldn't interfere with my money-making plans... but I didn't expect..."

Over the next 20 minutes, after being bombarded with five phone calls, Miao Yeyu, with her head drooping, lost all interest in dealing with the rat. She jumped off the wine cabinet, straightened the overturned sofa, and sat down, looking like she was contemplating life.

"All my money went to disaster relief... Now I'm penniless and have to pay the breach of contract fees to those programs... T^T What should I do?"

Miao Yeyu forced out a tear and looked at Yu Liu with tearful eyes.

Yuliu: "..."

Suddenly, she began to doubt whether Miao Yeyu was really that person. Before, no matter what happened, that person always acted with great wisdom and composure. Miao Yeyu even called her "baby" as soon as they met. But this behavior of his... a cat-like snake spirit, a human coward. Suddenly, she wanted to ask: What should she do?

"...Make money, of course. If you don't have money, you have to make money, right?"

"How to make money?"

This question left Yu Liu completely bewildered: "You're making money the same way you did before!"

"I used to take photos, and these photos would be used by others for other purposes, and then I would get a naming fee. Occasionally I would also take photos for others, but it would take a long time to earn enough money to pay off the breach of contract fee..." Miao Yeyu said, looking aggrieved as she fiddled with her fingers. She felt inexplicably ashamed as she said this, realizing that she was earning so little money, which did seem a bit unfair.

Yu Liu then remembered that Miao Yeyu's main profession now seemed to be photographer, not actor or star, although he had begun to venture into the acting industry...

"All right……"

As soon as Yu Liu began to speak, the melodious sound of a flute floated out again.

"You answer the phone first."

"Oh! Hello... Really?! That's great!! Don't worry, everything will be fine!! Okay, bye!"

Upon hearing the news from the other party, Miao Yeyu's listless spirits instantly lifted, and her tone was filled with obvious surprise. After hanging up the phone, she gave Yu Liu a bear hug.

"Baby, I'm so happy! Hahaha, I don't have to pay the penalty for breaking the contract! That indoor reality show invited me to participate in the recording again, and I'll still do the photoshoot. As long as I finish filming the indoor reality show, the payment they give me will be enough to pay off the penalty for breaking the contract with that talk show, hahaha~~~"

Miao Yeyu was so happy that her tail wagged like a fan, and she stood up and started spinning around. Her infectious laughter echoed throughout the villa, even waking up Junran who was still catching up on sleep.

"...We actually have quite a connection." Junran raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face: "I'm one of the guests on the next episode of that indoor reality show you're about to participate in."

That really is quite a coincidence.

-

The indoor reality show that Miao Yeyu was supposed to participate in basically required one episode to be filmed every week. The guests were all pre-selected, so there were usually no problems. However, the filming was very rushed, and many things couldn't be coordinated. It's easy to imagine how much of a loss Miao Yeyu's disappearance caused to the production team.

These losses wouldn't have a huge impact, and the show's director was quite generous, putting all the losses on Miao Yeyu's head, so Miao Yeyu's breach of contract penalty was truly astronomical!

However, things are always changing. Miao Yeyu almost ruined the show's reputation. After all, rumors were already circulating that Miao Yeyu would be participating in the show. It was understandable that the director blacklisted Miao Yeyu in a fit of anger, but what happened was that some members of the production team were fans of Miao Yeyu.

The production team had no choice but to invite Miao Yeyu to participate in the recording of the next episode. This fan of Miao Yeyu, who had infiltrated the production team, was furious after learning what had happened. Her idol had worked tirelessly in disaster relief, and even if it violated the contract, there were reasons for it. Was the production team being so heartless, taking advantage of her idol's lack of connections?

Outraged, the junior staff member leaked the story, which quickly spiraled out of control. Miao Yeyu's fans, who had just seen their idol's book review and were completely captivated by her in the photos, coupled with the pent-up emotions of worry they had been holding in for over a month, were now in an uproar upon hearing that their idol had been bullied.

Are you taking advantage of our idol because he/she doesn't have any powerful connections? We are our idol's powerful connections!!!

When a group of people unite and put all their effort into accomplishing something, the energy they unleash is terrifying. Less than an hour after the incident broke out, the program's official website was flooded with comments from fans. Once the website was opened, attacks on the program were everywhere. Even the TV station broadcasting the program was attacked, and the entire station almost succumbed to the fans' attacks. Meanwhile, Miao Yeyu, the person at the center of the incident, was completely unaware of all of this.

He had long forgotten that he had posted a book review before...

Therefore, on the day of the recording, Miao Yeyu was greeted by several cold faces. These were all from the show's director and producers; the show was their hard work, and they were naturally not going to give Miao Yeyu, the culprit, a friendly look after it had been attacked and belittled without cause.

Miao Yeyu's attire today leaned towards a relaxed style. He wore a white casual outfit with a lazy cat painted on the chest, playing with its bell. He wore a hat that perfectly covered the pointed ears on his head, and his tail was tucked into his pants. The pants he wore were deliberately chosen to be very baggy, so from behind, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. As for his beard... On a whim, Yu Liu once again used her willpower to bind Miao Yeyu, and sure enough, it triggered golden light again. Miao Yeyu's beard disappeared at that moment, and at the same time, his power increased.

When the golden light was activated again, Yu Liu did not faint, so she clearly saw the whole process and understood why Miao Yeyu had become like this.

Miao Yeyu was able to transform into human form and use magic normally despite losing half of his golden core because of the dense golden light of merit on his body. As mentioned before, Miao Yeyu had been accumulating merit, and by now, his merit was already quite considerable. Perhaps merit and Yu Liu's vow power had some commonality. When the vow power touched merit, it would transform a portion of Miao Yeyu's merit into magic power to maintain his current body.

In retrospect, it was a blessing in disguise; at least I don't have to be a clueless cat anymore.

"...Welcome everyone to 'Game Time'! We have the most fun games, the most intense battles, and the hottest gossip to satisfy all your novel experiences. Now! Please welcome our guest!"

In addition to Miao Yeyu and Junran, there were four other guests in this recording of the show. The indoor reality show "Game Time" focuses on all kinds of games. There are four hosts in total, and the hosts also need to participate in the games. The highlights are all in the participating guests and the games.

The guests' entrance was nothing new; a door suddenly opened on the stage, and the six guests walked out together to sing the theme song of "Game Time," which served as an announcement that the recording had officially begun.

The guests invited to this episode are all quite prominent. In addition to Junran, who is known as the "Little King of the Music Scene," and Miao Yeyu, an internet celebrity and photographer, they also invited another internet celebrity and domineering CEO, Li Zian. This person is also the boss of the entertainment company where Junran works. He is famous for his handsome appearance, wealth, and status as a golden bachelor, and has gradually gained considerable fame online.

The other three are Lin Xia, a second-tier actress who is Junran's junior from the same company; Luo He, an 18th-tier actress with a powerful background who is not yet famous; and Huang Guohui, a member of a super popular idol group in South Korea.

This lineup is unprecedented. Apart from Luo He, almost everyone here has a considerable number of fans and can carry a show on their own. Yet they are all gathered here. Especially Li Zian, who is the president of a company and is very busy every day. It is quite surprising that he can participate in such a variety show.

There are four hosts on the show, two men and two women, each with a different role. Gu Weizhi is outspoken and often makes things difficult for the guests, acting as the elder brother to the other three hosts. The other male host, Liu Kesong, is relatively quiet, but his words are often very insightful. The two female hosts, Lu Xi and Kong Jie, are both gentle girls with similar hosting styles. They are mainly responsible for being cute on the show. After all, with a guest lineup like this episode, it would be much less interesting without any girls, so the hosts are needed to step in.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the host will ask one or two pointed questions, and after answering the questions, the formal game segment will begin.

"First of all, I'm really curious. It's quite surprising that Mr. Li would come to participate in our program. I heard that Mr. Li contacted our program team on his own initiative, is that right?"

Gu Weizhi lived up to his reputation for being outspoken, paying no attention to his wording and asking direct questions, which has always been his style.

Li Zian was not angered by his attitude. On the contrary, she smiled gently, which made the female staff members of the surrounding film crew gasp.

"He seems so gentle, I really want a domineering CEO like him!"

“Yes!” Li Zian showed no embarrassment at being exposed. “I’ve seen this show a few times by chance and really like the games you designed. I’ve always wanted to participate, and I just happened to have some free time recently, so I came on a whim.”

Because of his status, Miao Yeyu was standing with Jun Ran to his left and Li Zian to his right. Hearing Li Zian's answer, he curled his lip in disdain.

I don't know why, but the moment I saw Li Zian, I disliked him and wanted to slap him. Unfortunately, the show is being filmed right now, so I can't do anything!

"...So I think your fans are probably also curious about where you went during the month you were missing and what dangers you encountered?"

Lost in thought, Miao Yeyu missed a lot of information. When he came to his senses, he heard this sentence, and the host was looking at him expectantly with wide eyes.

"Um... thank you everyone for your concern. Actually, I wasn't missing at the time. I just went to a remote mountain village with the rescue team. The signal there was bad, and the people who went to help were all local residents who weren't paying much attention to the outside world, which led to the current situation. I didn't expect to stay there for so long. I'm really sorry for making my fans worry."

Miao Yeyu bowed deeply, her attitude very sincere.

After asking Miao Yeyu, it was Junran's turn.

"Xiao Ran and I are old friends. There have been a lot of rumors about Xiao Ran online lately. Since you're here today, let's quickly clarify this matter."

This was an issue that Junran had already discussed with the production team, and they weren't going to miss any opportunity to clear his name.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my back view looked a lot like that little girl's father. I was wearing a hat and mask to cover my face, so that's probably how she misunderstood. But she explained it to me later. When we confronted each other, there were even police officers there as witnesses..."

Junran is good at playing it close to the line; what she says is ambiguous, as if she has said something but not really said anything.

The questions from the others were much simpler, and after answering them one by one, the game officially began.
