Chapter 1 The Lying-Down Player
Inside a minibus that is in motion.
"Xu An, why did you choose to participate in our program?"
"...Didn't you say you had 100,000 yuan?"
Hearing the words of the staff member beside him, Xu An's eyes became incredibly clear.
"Ahem, just so you know, the live stream has started."
Instantly, Xu An's gaze sharpened.
"Actually, it's because I also long for some other factors to appear in my life, to bring some changes to my uneventful life, and to explore other possibilities in life."
That's why I signed up for the show.
Xu An's eyes were incredibly sincere, and his heartfelt voice left the staff in front of him speechless.
Even the crew members of the show had no idea that their program would have such a profound meaning.
The staff were fooled, but the viewers in the live stream did not believe Xu An's nonsense.
I'm sorry, but I feel there's not a trace of anticipation for a new life in your eyes, only a longing for 100,000 yuan.
High EQ: Desires life to change; Low EQ: That's 100,000 yuan!
[Damn, they pay so much just for appearing on a variety show! I should have gone too!]
[Dude, do you think just anyone can get on a TV show? Do you think you're as handsome as this nobody named Xu An?]
[Hiss, now that you mention it, I've noticed it too. This kid is way too handsome!]
Indeed, perhaps only I at my peak could rival him.
"Ahem, you're right. The mission of our 'Longing for a Peach Blossom Spring' is to help everyone become a better version of themselves!"
"You seem a bit lost in life right now, but I believe our program will help you become more positive and motivated!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu An nodded frantically at the staff member's words, looking very much in agreement.
"Dude, you'll only become more lax!"
Xu An looked at the light screen in front of him, but his true thoughts were completely different.
[Reverse Roll System]
[Host: Xu An]
[Reverse curl value: 16]
Xu An didn't know if this thing called the Anti-Roll System was a product of his vow before he died from overwork in his previous life that he would never be the King of Rolls again in his next life.
In short, he already had this system when he discovered a few days ago that he had transmigrated into his parallel world self.
When he makes a horizontal movement, he can obtain anti-roll value, which can be exchanged for a wide variety of things.
[Master-level magic]
Advanced singing techniques
The complete Three-Body Problem novel
……
Of course, Xu An didn't have much interest in these things, but there were some things he was quite interested in.
[Kidney Function Enhancement]
Yes, I've redeemed this; it will definitely motivate me to be positive and motivated every day.
So, you have to lie flat, otherwise how will the anti-coil value come about?
The staff member in front of him was unaware that Xu An was already planning how to lie down as much as possible on the show. At this moment, he was very satisfied with the way Xu An was nodding frantically.
"The director told me to talk to Xu An and get him to be more proactive on the show. He said it might be a tough task, since Xu An is a complete novice and it's normal for him to be reserved. But it doesn't seem that difficult to me!"
The minibus quickly arrived at its destination.
After getting off the car, Xu An looked at the building in front of him and couldn't help but be amazed.
In front of me is a three-story rural courtyard house, which occupies a considerable area. Through the gaps in the courtyard fence, you can see the lawn, tents, swings, and other structures inside.
Not only Xu An, but even the viewers in the live stream were full of praise.
This doesn't look like a rural courtyard; it's bigger than a villa in the city.
[That's normal. Land in the countryside isn't worth much, and some agritourism destinations even have lakes and mountains on their grounds.]
[This is unbelievable! My place isn't even as big as the toilet here!]
In the control room, director Chen Hong looked at the barrage of comments in the live stream with a satisfied expression on her face.
As a variety show that she had high hopes for, "The Peach Blossom Spring" required a lot of effort in choosing a location, which was a place that not only preserved the rural architectural style, but also covered a large area and had a good surrounding environment.
It seems that the results are quite good.
Thinking this, she frowned as she saw Xu An on the screen in front of her suddenly stop after entering the courtyard.
Why did Xu An suddenly freeze? Although there was no script, hadn't he been told before that he could show the audience the Peach Blossom Cottage with the camera?
It's true that ordinary people are more likely to make mistakes when they appear on TV shows.
Chen Hong frowned, but quickly relaxed.
Oh well, it's fine if the amateurs perform poorly; it'll just serve to highlight the other male celebrities.
This is actually one of the reasons why Chen Hong decided to invite Xu An to the show.
Of course, the main factor was Xu An's ordinary-looking face.
Chen Hong's idea was not bad, but the truth might be a little different from what she thought.
Xu An wasn't at a loss because it was his first time filming a show. Although participating in variety shows is a rare experience for ordinary people, it was nothing to Xu An, who had seen time travel and systems.
What truly attracted him was a wooden rocking chair for old men in the corner of the courtyard.
Xu An couldn't take his eyes off it the moment he saw it.
No, this rocking chair looks so comfortable!
No, it might just look comfortable, but actually it might not be comfortable to sit in.
Hmm, I'll have to give it a try.
Then the viewers in the live broadcast room and the production team in the control room saw Xu An walk along, suddenly turn, and walk to the wooden rocking chair next to the old man, and then lie down without hesitation.
"Mmm, that feels good!"
audience:?
director:?
No, buddy?
【Wait, is this a live stream? He's already dead?】
Ah... he just lay there looking so fresh and clean?
[Am I remembering wrong? Didn't this kid just promise to be more proactive on the show?]
[So abstract? Is it a script?]
[That's unlikely; someone couldn't write a script like that without ten years of stroke!]
Backstage, Chen Hong almost laughed in anger.
Okay, okay, so you weren't stunned, you just had rocking chairs on your mind, right?
What's so great about that broken rocking chair!
As the first guest to arrive, or even a complete stranger, shouldn't you be eagerly waiting in the living room for the other guests, especially the female guests, and then help them with their luggage to establish your gentlemanly image?
At the very least, you could give the audience a tour of the villa, wouldn't that be better?
So now you just kick your legs, close your eyes, and lie down, right?
Just as they were speechless, Chen Hong suddenly heard the assistant director next to her point at the screen and say:
"Director Chen, look, Xu An is getting up."
Even though you knew it was being broadcast live, you weren't too outrageous.
Hearing the assistant director's words, Chen Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the screen. Then, her relaxed expression froze again.
Xu An sat up, stretched, took a coat from his bag, covered his head with it, and then lay back down.
Wait, you do know about sun protection, huh?
[Haha, this is so funny! I thought he was about to get up, but it turns out he just thought the sun was too bright.]
"No, I thought he was just going to lie down for a while, but judging from the situation, is he really going to sleep?"
["I'm already looking forward to the next guest's expression when they see this guy lying here!"]
……
At this moment, Xu An was unaware that his actions had caused a surge in discussion in the live stream. He was looking at the notification in front of him with a look of great pleasure on his face.
[Host detected lying flat, anti-roll value +1... anti-roll value +1...]
Lying down like this is such a wonderful thing!
Viewers were discussing Xu An's behavior of falling asleep immediately when they suddenly noticed that the live stream camera had changed, pointing towards the country road leading to the Peach Blossom Cottage.
The camera zooms in, from bottom to top, revealing a white dress.
A new guest has arrived?
