When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds-Chapter 98: Chi Mo 52

Tan You: "But you really didn’t do a good enough job back then."

Chi Mo: "Fine, but aren’t I doing a pretty good job now?"

Despite her words, her expression softened, and a hint of a smile touched her eyes. ’Tan You had an idea. She had plenty of beauty value to spare, so why not max it out for Chi Mo?’

The Beauty System was the most excited of all. "Host, max it out! Max it out!"

Just then, Chi Mo was touching up her makeup in a small mirror. With a thought, Tan You directly maxed out Chi Mo’s beauty value. Chi Mo’s eyes went wide. "What... what’s happening?"

"Why do I feel like I’ve gotten even more beautiful?"

Tan You didn’t hide it from her. "Yep, I maxed out your beauty value."

Chi Mo knew that Tan You had given her beauty value before. She had thought that was already the pinnacle of beauty, but she never imagined she could become even more beautiful. Suppressing her excitement, Chi Mo found a spot and pulled the car over.

After parking the car, Chi Mo dug a mirror out of her bag and examined herself from every angle.

"I don’t think my features have changed much, but my overall aura feels completely different," Chi Mo said with a smile, propping her chin on her hand after studying herself for about ten minutes.

Of course she was happy to become more beautiful, especially without resorting to modern medical procedures. She was just an ordinary person, and something like this would naturally make her happy.

"As long as you like it," Tan You said dryly. What else could she say? In her eyes, whether it was the old Chi Mo or the new Chi Mo, she was still the same person she’d first met.

The impact of max-level beauty was undoubtedly immense. From the moment Chi Mo entered Director Liu’s company, nearly everyone who saw her had the same reaction: mouth agape, eyes wide as saucers. Chi Mo even saw someone walk headfirst into a glass wall.

"Is it really that dramatic?" Chi Mo shrugged. She had been staring at her own face for so long that she was already immune to it.

Director Liu was also astonished. He stared at Chi Mo for a long time before saying, "There’s a saying in the industry that success gives you a certain glow, and now I see it’s true. Compared to before, your face is still the same face, but your aura is completely different."

Chi Mo felt a little sheepish. "Huh? Am I really considered famous? I’m just a dance blogger, a very ordinary dancer."

She didn’t do livestreams or take advertisements. She just focused on dancing with her troupe or was busy meeting Tan You’s requirements, so Chi Mo genuinely didn’t have the awareness that she had become famous.

Director Liu smiled. "But one thing hasn’t changed. Just like before, your eyes are still very pure."

Or rather, compared to before, she was now like a clear spring, so transparent you could see right to the bottom. Her gaze had been clear before, too, but it was the clarity of someone who has weathered many storms. It wasn’t like now, which held a kind of pure-hearted naivety.

Chi Mo smiled. "Thank you, Director. I’ve read the script you gave me, and I’ve choreographed a dance piece over the last couple of days..."

Naturally, the dance was a collaboration between Chi Mo and Tan You. Tan You had seen a great many dances in her time, and Chi Mo had seen many from later generations, on top of being a professional dancer herself. When their two worlds collided, a rough outline quickly took shape.

Director Liu was straightforward, leading Chi Mo into a large office. The office was filled with people, with several rows of various industry professionals. Chi Mo scanned the room and realized she didn’t recognize almost anyone.

Okay, she did recognize one person: Teacher Xu. Seeing Teacher Xu smile at her, Chi Mo instinctively crinkled her eyes in a smile back. Teacher Xu clutched their chest. "How did she get even more beautiful?"

Director Liu sat down beside them. "Right? I thought so too. I specifically asked Little Chi to come in today to audition for the dance scene."

Teacher Xu: "We’re in for another treat. I can’t wait!"

Chi Mo wasn’t nervous. As a dancer, she was born to be on stage, and being watched like this had long become normal for her. So, she walked confidently to the performance area at the front and began to display the fruits of her and Tan You’s labor from the past few days.

The moment the music started, Director Liu sat up straight. His eyes lit up even more at the instant Chi Mo raised her head. He felt that working with Chi Mo was incredibly easy. For example, if he asked for a ninety-percent effort, she would often deliver a perfect score or even exceed it, always surpassing his expectations. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The dance wasn’t very long; Chi Mo finished her performance in just five minutes. She looked down at the silent industry professionals. Including Director Liu, everyone was speechless.

Chi Mo felt a pang of panic. "D-Did I not do well?"

She thought her performance had been fine, so why did they all have that expression? At that moment, Chi Mo’s little brain was filled with a big question mark.

Director Liu finally snapped out of it. He cleared his throat. "Excellent..."

The moment he spoke, the others came to their senses as well.

"Excellent? It was extraordinary!"

"Miss Chi, are you interested in acting?"

"We’re all seasoned industry veterans. If you want to act..."

"I used to think ’beauty that could topple nations’ was just a legend, but now I know... SIGH..."

Hearing this feedback, Chi Mo finally relaxed. She smiled a little awkwardly. "I just want to dance in peace. It’s already not easy to do one thing well in a lifetime..."

Her thoughts were the same as Tan You’s. While it was great to try multiple paths, a person only has so much energy. Chi Mo felt she was far less clever than Tan You. On her first time on a set, Tan You had run into Director Liu’s nephew. As for herself...

So, Chi Mo kept the entertainment circle at a respectful distance. She thought it was great to be able to dance in other people’s projects. But if she truly entered the industry, Chi Mo didn’t think she could handle all the scheming involved.

’So, it’s better for me to just be a quiet little dancer. The waters of the entertainment industry run too deep, and a non-swimmer like me shouldn’t go in, lest I end up drowning.’

Although Chi Mo’s voice was soft, her tone was resolute. These people were all sharp; they could clearly see she genuinely didn’t want to enter the industry and wasn’t just playing hard to get. Because of this, they admired her even more.

How should one put it? People do have a bit of a masochistic streak.

Director Liu didn’t care that much whether Chi Mo entered the industry or acted. What he cared about was that she could add luster to his work. But to be honest, Director Liu truly did admire Chi Mo.

Some people aren’t clever, you could even say they’re a bit clumsy. But once she made a decision, she wouldn’t change it, always holding fast to her values and principles. Frankly, Director Liu found Chi Mo’s clumsiness endearing.

The audition went exceptionally smoothly. In less than an hour, Chi Mo had a contract in hand. Compared to the other actors, Chi Mo’s part was the first to be finalized.

Her role was just a single dance, without a single line of dialogue. Chi Mo was thrilled. ’Achievement unlocked for Tan You +1.’

Tan You sounded resigned. "When it comes to dancing, I’m definitely no match for you. Some people exude a sense of beauty in even the simplest of movements. You’re that kind of person. You’re captivating."
