Chapter 180: Another Item Added to The Game’s Merchant Shop!
At night.
Unsurprisingly, “Self-mockery” appeared in the newspapers.
After seeing this, many people discussed it on the internet!
“Why is it called ‘Self-mockery’?”
“The newspapers said that the name was obtained by asking Teacher Zhang on the phone.”
“I think that this name is most appropriate! The poem Zhang Ye composed while leaving the television station might be self-mocking, but in fact, it is mocking at others!”
“That’s right. Teacher Zhang is disappointed in too many people!”
“Inside a small house hidden away, I seek a unified life to obey? Of the outside world, why care at all – be it winter, summer, spring or fall? It’s awesome!”
“Eyes askance, I cast a cold glance at the thousand pointing fingers is the most awesome line! That’s the crowning touch in this poem!”
“Is Teacher Zhang not planning on staying in the television industry anymore? This poem seems like he’s a bit jaded. It can’t be that he doesn’t want to stay in the entertainment industry anymore, right? That would be such a shame!”
“That’s not right. Teacher Zhang’s program was still being broadcast in the afternoon. Besides, there’s the next episode’s preview.”
“Let me add on to the above poster. Teacher Zhang has already left his job. However, ‘Analysis of the Three Kingdoms’ is pre-recorded. So this is all footage that was recorded in advance.”
“No matter where Teacher Zhang goes, I’ll support him!”
“Me, too. Teacher Zhang, please don’t you not care about the winter, summer, spring or fall. We are still waiting for new works of yours. Poems would do, historical segments would do, and even songs would do. Even if you produce another public service advertisement, I will also support it when it is broadcasted. I’m a mindless fan of yours!”
……
The second day.
The sun had already risen, but it was still early.
Di di di, di di di. The alarm on Zhang Ye’s phone was still activated, so it woke him up from his dreams. Seeing the time, Zhang Ye drowsily got off the bed to use the bathroom. He also began brushing his teeth. The toothpaste was some unknown brand of this world, called “Clean & White Brand”. Just from the name, it was probably some cheap stuff. He had bought it when it was sold at a discount in the supermarkets, but it wasn’t very good. It did not foam, and indeed you didn’t get good stuff for cheap.
“Eh? What am I doing?”
After rinsing his mouth, just as Zhang Ye was dressing up for work, he was momentarily shocked. He recalled that he had lost his job as he helplessly sat back on his bed.
What should I do today?
Since he had already woken up, he could no longer go back to sleep.
Zhang Ye was a person who could not stay idle. Even though he encountered a variety of problems, his goal was to become famous and become a top star. Hence, he still gained happiness, despite being tired. However, without any work to do now, he found being free uncomfortable. No, I can’t sit idle at home. Opportunities are left for people with preparations. He needed to enrich himself and make himself stronger!
He looked with determination at a few books placed by the window. Inside were some psychological books, magazines and a poetry book. How should he enrich himself? The answer was simple… Of course, it was the Lottery! Moving his gaze away from the window, Zhang Ye opened up the interface of the game ring on his hand.
A long string of numbers appeared for his overall Reputation points.
“Ten, Hundred, Thousand…” Zhang Ye looked intently as he counted, before he swore, “F**k!”
These days, Zhang Ye had stirred up too many things. He had written “Wishing We Last Forever” for the Heavenly Queen, and he had one classic piece of poetry after another. Also, after the huge show of his awesomeness on Beijing News Channel and the Reputation points gained daily from “Analysis of the Three Kingdoms”, Zhang Ye’s overall Reputation score was something that he could not comprehend. There was a total of 12.2 million Reputation points!
At the beginning, it was not bad if he gained a few hundred thousand back at the radio station.
Later on at the television station, it was also quite difficult for him to earn a few million in a short period of time.
But now, after just a few days, he had saved up more than ten million Reputation points!
Zhang Ye’s temper that caused problems everyday had its advantages. Take a look. With so many Reputation points accrued, if he didn’t cause trouble or release a poem or two to show his literary excellence, how could there be so many Reputation points!?
Time for the lottery!
Zhang Ye was now very rich. After spending 100,000 to begin a Lottery draw, the needle began to move. He did not even look before buying Additional Stakes!
How much should he add?
Let’s try with 20 to try my luck!
Zhang Ye bought the Additional Stakes, and despite seeing two million Reputation points
