Chapter 472: Chapter 470: The Short Drama Premieres

Many people, drawn by their interest in historical materials about Immortals and Ancient Martial arts, clicked on the first series: "The Last God of the East Country."

The name alone made it obvious that the content would involve gods.

So, without a doubt, everyone flocked to it first.

Upon clicking, they discovered it was video content.

Everyone was puzzled. "Is this a short-video platform?"

"If it’s a short-video platform, why is it formatted like a TV series? This is kind of interesting."

"Let’s check it out..."

The first episode began with the female lead transmigrating into an exam setting.

Everyone was discussing the geniuses at the school when two females arrived with several males in tow to mock the protagonist:

"Well, well, if it isn’t Tang Qianxue, the one who’s always dragging our class down. What? Does a failure like you actually think you can win a god’s favor?"

"Exactly. Stop dreaming. You should know that the gods aren’t interested in just any believer.

Someone like you, who’s always dead last in the rankings, shouldn’t be out here embarrassing themselves."

The males didn’t laugh, but their faces were masks of mockery and disgust.

The newly transmigrated protagonist was still completely bewildered, with no idea where she was, when she was suddenly accosted and bullied.

Just as she was rolling up her sleeves, ready for a direct confrontation, a sharp pain shot through her head, and she finally recalled all of the original owner’s memories.

It turned out this was a world invaded by Aberrations. Only believers favored by the gods could channel them, borrowing their power to eliminate the Aberrations.

But to channel a god, you had to know Their name and Their origins.

Tang Qianxue’s eyes darted about, and she instantly felt her confidence surge.

As someone from the East Country who had grown up listening to myths and legends and watching them adapted into movies and TV shows, she knew this stuff all too well!

With all the gods and deities in the heavens, she refused to believe that not a single one would be willing to answer her!

’So I’ll definitely pass today’s exam!’

Remembering that the original owner of this body didn’t have a single penny to her name, she decided to fleece the people in front of her.

And so, the two sides made a bet.

If Tang Qianxue received a response from a god today, then each of them would give her ten thousand, plus a C-rank Magic Treasure.

But if she didn’t receive a response from a god, she would have to drop out of school.

Tang Qianxue thought it was a pretty good deal. If her idea didn’t work, she’d likely just be an ordinary person anyway, so taking a break from school to get a job would be fine.

But if she succeeded, she would score sixty thousand and six C-rank Magic Treasures for free.

And that was where the first episode ended.

The hooked viewers hurriedly clicked on the second episode.

The second episode ended with the scene where Tang Qianxue called out a god’s name, and the entire plaza was instantly engulfed in a golden light.

Impatient, the viewers tried to click on the third episode.

But a prompt appeared for the third episode:

Please choose to activate a membership or watch two ads to unlock for free.

Activating a membership was only 88 Star Coins a month, a very small expense.

The crowd laughed.

"Qin Bao is still too soft-hearted. Other music platforms charge 688 a month for membership, and she’s letting us watch so many shows for just 88 Star Coins."

"We used to pay per episode to watch shows. How is her platform only 88 for a whole month? Isn’t she losing a ton of money?"

"Maybe it’s because the episodes for this show are really short. You can watch one on a trip to the bathroom."

"That makes a bit of sense, but I still think it’s too cheap, especially since the show is so good."

The actress who played the female lead, Tang Qianxue, was a performing arts student still in school.

At that moment, she and the few classmates who had acted alongside her were surrounded by students from their own class and the lyricism class.

"Oh my god, Keke, how did you not tell us the production you joined was Jiang Qin’s!!"

Miao Keke said shyly, "We didn’t know at first either. Later, when we found out, we didn’t know how to bring it up."

After all, mentioning it after the fact would have sounded like she was showing off.

Besides, when the production first announced it was recruiting actors, not many people were interested.

The casting call clearly stated it was for a low-budget short series with a very short filming schedule, and they were looking for young people with good looks and good acting skills.

At the time, many other productions were also recruiting, so everyone chose to audition for the big-budget crews.

After all, just getting your face seen in a major production was probably better than starring in a small-time project like this one.

But Miao Keke and a few classmates who were short on cash went, because the notice said the pay was settled daily.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Miss Jiang Qin’s new company.

As everyone knew, anything associated with her name basically blew up.

Not to mention, the screenwriter for this show was actually Jiang Qin herself!

When she found out, she felt like she was going crazy. She couldn’t believe she’d landed such a golden opportunity.

So during filming, she was amped up every day, perfectly portraying a proud, confident, and calm female lead.

Now, watching herself in the video, she was even more thrilled.

The view count data was shockingly high.

"Keke, you’re going to be famous!!"

"And the rest of you, even though you played the villains who get their comeuppance, at least you’re memorable."

"AHHHH, if I’d known, I would have gone too!!!"

"What a shame. I wanted to audition for that ’I Became a Stepdad in Ancient Times’ production, but a friend pulled me to another one."

He ended up passing the audition and played a subordinate who takes a knife for the male lead.

If he had nothing to compare it to, he might have felt it was okay, but with the comparison, he instantly felt like he’d missed out on a billion!!

"Keke, hurry and give us your autograph. It might be hard to even see you again in the future."

Miao Keke blushed. "It’s not that exaggerated."

"It’s not an exaggeration. Do you know what the view count is right now?"

"What is it?"

A student in the crowd immediately pulled up the real-time data for everyone to see.

"HISS... It’s already broken a hundred million!"

"A lot of people are still watching. Once they finish and start promoting it, the numbers will probably multiply."

"It’s really good. If I hadn’t wanted to come get an autograph first, I wouldn’t have been willing to stop watching either." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Let’s go, let’s go, we need to hurry and finish it. We have class later."

"AHHHH, five whole shows! This is bliss!!"

「...」

But the most outrageous thing happened at the shopping mall today.

Quite a few people had discovered a female’s Spiritual Body!!

Following the Spiritual Body’s trail, they found the female in question. It turned out she was sitting in a clothing store, waiting for her friend to pick out clothes.

She was using the time to download the new platform and had started watching one of the shows.

When the crowd found her, they could hear her muttering under her breath.

"This is so infuriating! How can they bully the kids like that?"

"It’s too heartbreaking. If they were my children, I would never let them suffer so much."

"SOB... The male lead is too good. Because of a bride price, he feels indebted, so to repay the kindness, he decides to treat the children as his own...

His moral compass is so strong!!"
