60: Chapter 60 God Rewards with Food_1
60 -60 God Rewards with Food_1
In the vast plaza in front of the train station, the crowd ebbed and flowed, as the opening days of various universities fell during this period, resulting in a large number of students.
Young, energetic faces were filled with youthful abandon and high spirits.
Being young is an asset.
It gives you the right to squander time and the privilege to enjoy youth.
Buses sent by various universities to pick up freshmen were parked, displaying the names of their institutions and welcoming slogans, with senior students serving as volunteers awaiting the newcomers.
The freshmen certainly had no need to worry about getting on the wrong bus.
As Lin Baici approached with his suitcase, the seniors in front of the buses immediately turned to look.
“Damn, isn’t he too handsome?”
A senior with a bob cut and a bunny hair clip exclaimed enthusiastically as she saw Lin Baici approaching, “The bus for Beijing Drama Academy is over there!”
“Beijing Drama Academy?”
Lin Baici was puzzled and followed the direction the senior pointed.
In front of the green-painted bus, several student volunteers who had been idly chatting were already looking over, their faces filled with amazement.
“Holy shit, that’s some serious good looks, he could compete for the title of freshman heartthrob this year!”
“Compete?
Just look at his body, those muscles, those lines, it’s clear he’s worked out.
I mean, there are others in freshman year who match his looks, sure, but physique?
Sorry, he outshines them all!”
“Yeah, his physical condition is too good!”
“He’s got the gift of the gods, you can’t envy that!”
Beijing Drama Academy, commonly known as the Beijing Drama, is one of the top three film academies in Nine States.
Many well-known stars graduated from this institution.
One could say that getting into Beijing Drama is like catching a fast train to stardom.
However, to become a star, at the very least, one must possess a good appearance and an exceptional physique.
Of course, if you have a powerful family background, or own mines, it’s not impossible to take a shot at becoming a star, but the chances of success are slim.
The volunteers were senior students from Beijing Drama.
After undergoing training in both posture and internal quality, plus their naturally above-average looks, they stood out in the crowd.
New students sitting on the bus waiting for departure couldn’t help but steal glances at them from time to time.
After all, who wouldn’t fantasize about being so gracefully outstanding that just standing there would make them the center of attention?
However, the moment the tall, over one-meter-eighty guy arrived, the seniors from Beijing Drama were immediately overshadowed.
It wasn’t just his looks and physique, but also his temperament.
Having undergone the life and death refinement at God’s ruins and after killing the Black Shark Triton duo, Lin Baici had developed a composed and unflappable demeanor.
Besides, he would have a million credited to his account in two months at most, so from the inside out, he exuded confidence.
Lin Baici saw the name of the school on the bus and smiled as he shook his head, “Senior sister, I’m not from Beijing Drama Academy!”
“What?”
The bob-cut senior was taken aback.
In her mind, most academically proficient males weren’t very handsome—just nerds.
A guy as good-looking as Lin Baici no doubt had poor grades.
“I’m a freshman at Haijing Polytechnic!”
Lin Baici said with a bright, sunny smile as he pulled his suitcase towards the Haijing Polytechnic bus.
“What’s going on?”
“He’s not from Beijing Drama?”
“Isn’t his good looks going to waste?”
The students were abuzz with talk.
The seniors from Beijing Drama were momentarily stunned, not expecting the new student to be from another school, but they soon became cheerful.
Yes!
One less powerful competitor.
“What are you happy about?
With his looks, he’s aiming for lead roles in auditions, not competing with you for extras,” retorted the senior leading the team.
She didn’t understand why, but she was really irked.
“Maybe it’s because we lost a kickass junior alumnus!” the senior mumbled to herself.
“Looking good doesn’t necessarily mean he can be the lead!” one of the senior boys muttered jealously.
He didn’t even believe his own words; in today’s film industry, a person doesn’t need outstanding work to become popular like before.
As long as someone looks good enough and their agency is willing to spend money on online promotions and hire paid advocates, that person can become famous, gain fans, and harvest the crops.
That guy was the absolute image of a young heartthrob with no lack of rich sisters willing to invest in him.
Aboard the bus, a Beijing Drama teacher enjoying the air conditioning while playing on his phone also brightened at the sight of Lin Baici, immediately thinking the heartthrob of the year had arrived.
If this guy had decent emotional intelligence and passable talent, he would definitely be snatched up by major companies.
The teacher was surprised to find out he was actually an engineering student.
“What a waste!”
The teacher shook his head in regret and was about to go back to his videos when he noticed students in the vicinity eying the guy.
A thought struck him, and he got off the bus.
He wanted to ask for his phone number to recommend to the dean.
The dean’s daughter owned an entertainment company, and perhaps she would sign him.
Acting often depends on innate attributes, and being handsome is a huge advantage, not to mention the guy also had a great figure.
How do entertainment companies operate nowadays?
They spot a student with potential and sign them up right away.
It doesn’t cost much—just provide a living allowance each month.
Later, they can arrange for gigs where playing an extra would be considered a good opportunity.
Shameless companies may even ask beautiful girls to accompany clients.
As long as the newcomer gets a little famous, the company won’t lose out, and if the newcomer finds other opportunities, what then?
Pay out of pocket to buy out their contract and the company turns a quick profit.
Selling people has become standard practice for these smaller companies.
And that Haijing Polytechnic guy has such a good figure, he could totally be a model.
He doesn’t lack job opportunities, so entertainment companies signing him would be making a profit.
If this works out, I can also show my face in front of the dean and earn some favor.
…
“Ah?
Someone from our school?”
The senior leading the team adjusted his glasses in surprise as he looked at Lin Baici.
With your good looks and being a top student, do you leave any room for the rest of us to live?
Haijing Polytechnic ranks fifth among all universities in Haijing, and their acceptance scores are certainly not low.
“Yeah!”
Lin Baici nodded.
“Then…
then go wait in the car…”
Before the senior could finish speaking, the girl by his side jumped in.
“Go wait in the car, we’ll leave when everyone is here!”
The upperclasswoman took a bottle of mineral water from a bag on the ground and handed it to Lin Baici.
“No need for that.”
Lin Baici didn’t accept it.
“Don’t be polite, it’s a new student benefit, everyone gets one!”
If she weren’t concerned about her image, the upperclasswoman would’ve already asked Lin Baici for his WeChat.
Not giving Lin Baici another chance to refuse, she stuffed the bottle of Nongfu Spring water into his hand: “Just go wait in the car, it’s quite hot here!”
“Thank you, senior sister.
Thank you, senior brother!”
There’s nothing wrong with being sweet-mouthed.
Lin Baici would not feel superior just because he is a God Hunter with powerful Divine Grace.
“Junior, let me take your suitcase!”
The bespectacled senior had now also reacted, smiling as he went to take Lin Baici’s suitcase to place it in the luggage compartment on the right side of the bus.
“No need, I can do it myself!”
Lin Baici didn’t like bothering others.
“No, let me do it.
You’ve been riding for a while, you must be tired.”
The bespectacled senior was very enthusiastic, insisting on taking Lin Baici’s trolley suitcase and putting it away, then pulling out his phone: “Junior, add me on WeChat?
If you have any questions, either about studies or daily life issues, you can come to me!”
“Good job, Old Cai!”
The upperclasswoman Tao Yun praised silently and also took out her phone: “Junior, add me too.
If you can’t find a girlfriend, I’ll help you out!”
On the bus, around twenty new students sat watching as the two very friendly upperclassmen proactively exchanged WeChat contacts with the newly arrived junior, realizing only then that they could have been more enthusiastic.
But that didn’t apply to themselves.
“Yeah!”
Lin Baici took out his phone and opened WeChat.
[Cai Zhiheng, rising senior, student union officer.
Don’t be fooled by the glasses and the honest look, he’s actually quite cunning.
He added you because he noticed the Rolex on your wrist!]
[He has a long-distance girlfriend, but their relationship is mediocre and will probably end soon!]
After scanning and adding Cai Zhiheng as a friend, Eater God offered its commentary.
[Tao Yun, she just thought you were handsome and impulsively wanted to add you as a friend.]
[She hasn’t had a relationship in three years of college, likes drinking cold water, and her menstrual cycle is often irregular.
If this continues, she’ll become infertile.]
[Coming from an impoverished mountain area, she knows that knowledge can change one’s fate.
She spends her days in the library and has already gotten five certificates in her spare time, working hard to find a good job with a decent monthly salary.]
Lin Baici paid his respects earnestly.
Hardworking people deserve respect.
He’ll find the right opportunity to tell her not to drink cold water.
Since everyone here was from the same university, Lin Baici couldn’t hustle like he did with the diabetic lady at the train station by claiming he was a medical student.
Lin Baici wasn’t in a hurry to get on the bus, taking advantage of the good atmosphere to inquire about the school situation and get mentally prepared.
But he had only chatted for a few moments when a man around thirty came over.
“Fellow student, I’m a teacher from the Beijing Drama Academy, surnamed Feng, Feng Yi.
I notice you carry yourself well, speak eloquently, and have a great demeanor.
Have you received any related training?”
Mr.
Feng smiled, extending his right hand to Lin Baici.
“Hello, Mr.
Feng, no, I haven’t!”
Lin Baici shook hands with Feng Yi, and even though the other party wasn’t a teacher from Haijing Polytechnic, he still addressed him respectfully.
After all, being overly polite doesn’t hurt.
“Oh?
Then it seems you are quite talented!”
Feng Yi complimented Lin Baici a few times, reducing any sense of strangeness between them, then casually mentioned the recent success of two major films, talking about how such-and-such popular young actor was a graduate of the Drama Academy.
Cai Zhiheng and Tao Yun didn’t know what Mr.
Feng was up to and were confused until they heard him inviting Lin Baici to visit the Beijing Drama Academy.
“Are you interested in acting?
Would you like to attend a few classes?”
Feng Yi prided himself as a cultured individual and didn’t state ‘I’m offering you an opportunity’ so blatantly, but the message was conveyed.
Typically, as long as the other party wasn’t too foolish, they’d understand.
Tao Yun, dumbfounded, poked Cai Zhiheng softly and muttered under her breath, “Did Lin Junior just get scouted?”
Cai Zhiheng nodded, feeling a bit sour inside, as if he had just eaten a raw lemon.
Being handsome just brings more opportunities!
But Cai Zhiheng knew that for a career as a star, acting skills didn’t matter much.
What mattered was looks, and with investors pumping in money, purchasing hot search spots, and pushing traffic, anyone could become famous.
That’s just how providence works.
