Chapter 439: Intense Acting Skills Curls

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The final special guest for the last match was an elderly man of over a hundred years of age. He had practically grown up together with Fiery Bird. As Fiery Bird had developed and flourished, their first batch of gamers grew old.

These people were treasures.

There were still other activities after the special guest matches. The “Battle of the Century” gaming gods would be participating. As a special guest, Fang Zhao wouldn’t be taking part in any other matches, but Fiery Bird didn’t let him off either. Fang Zhao just needed to be there and there would be no lack of topics for discussion about him.

Fiery Bird planned to keep Fang Zhao at the All-star match for two days. Originally, they had wanted to keep him for three or four days, but they had been pressured by Mo Lang. Thus, Fiery Bird settled for two days. Two days was fine too. It was better than just one.

While Fang Zhao was at the All-star Match competition grounds, Curly Hair was struggling in the HuangArt advanced students dorm.

Curly Hair knew that Fang Zhao had gone to participate in a match and would be away for two days. He had to take the opportunity to be extra hard-working!

On the learning console forums, secondary school students expressed that even though they couldn’t play “Battle of the Century” because they were minors, they still watched live broadcasts frequently. There were also some people who couldn’t watch on their own but would watch the matches through their older siblings’ accounts.

Curly Hair was a little listless when he saw all this. Thus, he ran over to the cabinet where Fang Zhao kept his limited-edition game consoles and was motivated!

Each time after doing a few questions, Curly Hair would go gaze at the game consoles for a bit before returning to the questions! Otherwise, he would fall asleep.

Only with a goal would there be motivation!

Curly Hair’s current goal—Secondary school graduation!

He decided to give Fang Zhao a pleasant surprise!

Before Fang Zhao returned, he wanted to get the secondary school graduation certificate from the learning console’s platform!

He had watched so many educational videos and done so many practice questions all for this day!

If his performance was good, Fang Zhao would buy him a game console!

With a clear goal, Curly Hair was highly motivated. Having efficiently clearing this round of practice questions, Curly Hair felt that he was more or less ready and applied to take a secondary school graduation test.

The requirements for graduation were to get a passing score of 60 out of 100 marks for each subject. Also, there was also a minimum for the total score.

After the test, the results came out rather quickly.

The total passing point requirements was hit, but Curly Hair received 59 for Language. Just short of one mark.

System evaluation: “Graduation requirements not met.”

…

Nanfeng had come over to walk the dog and to take care of some other tasks. When he opened the door, he saw Curly Hair crestfallen and crouching in the corner. Nanfeng felt his heart ache a little.

This two hundred million dollar dog! What a fragile thing!

Sigh, dogs just can’t be left alone at home. Look, after his master is out for a day, he’s become like this: so lonely and miserable.

After dealing with his tasks, Nanfeng put the leash on Curly Hair and brought him out for a walk. When a dog wasn’t in a good mood, bringing them out for a walk would surely make things better.

Nanfeng brought Curly Hair for a walk in the recreation area. There weren’t many people out for a stroll at this time. Just as Nanfeng was about to bring Curly Hair back, he saw a few teachers leading students from the teaching block over. Also, more people were starting to gather slowly.

From their conversation, Nanfeng realized that these academic advisors were trying to gauge the abilities of these undergraduates.

“Oh, they are gonna have an outdoors performance! Let’s go watch!” Nanfeng tugged on the leash and led Curly Hair over.

Facing the group of academic advisors and the gradually growing crowd of spectators, some students became nervous and stiffened up. Other forgot their lines or worried about their appearance. The academic advisors wanted these students to toss aside their apprehensions, set aside their idealistic ideas and learn what it meant to be a good performer! They would be representing HuangArt after leaving the school!

Nanfeng had originally been standing where the spectators were starting to gather. But because he had a dog, Nanfeng moved over to the side and let Curly Hair lean against some shrubs so the wouldn’t disturb others.

The currently-performing graduate student was acting out a tearjerker skit. According to the script, there would be a crying scene where she would start with some sniffling before progressing to sobs and then full fledged wailing.

Thus, Nanfeng watched the intense acting skills of this HuangArt Performance undergraduate live.

At the beginning, it was just a beauty shedding tears, but slowly, the mood started to get heavier before finally overflowing. The slow heart-wrenching portrayal that tugged at one’s heart slowly became an unreasonable out-of-control scene. All in all, it was a very good performance.

After the performance, the audience applauded, and the student gave her thanks. As the academic advisor was about to ask the second student to go on stage, he caught something from the corner of his eye and chuckled. “Oh, that little dog is crying!”

Everyone hurriedly turned to look.

Nanfeng saw tear droplets trickling out from Curly Hair’s eyes and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe the tears away.

“This… was it moved to tears by the performance?” someone asked.

“Even dogs can be moved. This shows the strong fundamentals that HuangArt students have,” another concurred.

Nanfeng felt that this was also a factor, but in any case, Curly Hair wasn’t in a good mood today. He felt it would be best to bring Curly Hair back to the dorm before asking Fang Zhao what to do.

He lightly tugged on the leash, but Curly Hair didn’t budge.

And it wasn’t just that. Curly Hair’s soundless crying had become spasmodic sobbing.

The students, teachers and audience who had practically never seen a dog cry in such a way were all stunned.

A first year performance student whispered to his companion, “Not comparing to the seniors, but if I had its ability to cry on demand, I would be able to graduate right away!”

Curly Hair, who had latched on to the word “graduate”: “…”

Nanfeng tugged on the leash once more to no avail. Then, Curly Hair began rolling on the ground in a tantrum.

This dog was making an unreasonable scene.

These actions seemed a little familiar.

The first student who had performed flushed with embarrassment as she saw everyone looking over. She really didn’t know that this dog would actually have such great learning capability! This really was crying on demand! And, it was an inconsolable grief that would tear one’s heart out!

The students and academic advisors watching the dog bawling its eyes out intensely: Are you done?!

Whose dog is this?

Are you out to wreck this performance?!

Seeing the situation turning south, Nanfeng grabbed the rolling dog, apologized to the teachers and students and left quickly.

The spectating audience who came to their senses gave a delayed round of applause.

“Marvelous!”

“That sudden intense acting skill…”

“As expected of a HuangArt dog. What an immersive performance! It was so real it didn’t seem like an act at all!”

“I thought that it had been moved to tears; turns out it was an improv act!”

“Wait! Was that… Fang Zhao’s dog? The really expensive one?”

“I searched, that’s the one! Worth two hundred million!”

“It’s worthy of such value with that acting ability!”

“Dogs mirror the personality of their masters. After all, Fang Zhao clinched an important role in the super series ‘Founding Era’ based on his ability.”

The leading teacher took the opportunity to knock this into his students’ heads: See that?! If you don’t properly train your acting skills, even a dog will best you!

Does a dog rolling on the ground bawling not put you to shame?

However, the teachers were also rejoicing in secret. At least this batch of undergraduates had decent ability and wouldn’t disgrace themselves.

In no time, videos of that scene recorded by members of the audience were uploaded online or sold to entertainment reporters and other media outlets.

Thus, for a period, those people trying to grab headlines discovered that they had been beaten by a dog.

People who were following other stuff also noticed this news.

“Did this dog join Fang Zhao and go to HuangArt for advanced studies too?”

“Are all HuangArt dogs that strong?”

“This dog of Fang Zhao’s is due for a raise.”

“But this dog is already worth too much.”

“What do you know?!”

For the time being, it was unknown whether Curly Hair’s valuation would increase. However, many people interested in keeping dogs specially made inquiries to HuangArt regarding whether they had opened up acting classes for dogs. Or, perhaps they intended to groom dog actors?

HuangArt personnel rejoiced once again. Luckily, their undergraduates had strong enough ability. Otherwise, there could have even been news about HuangArt performance undergraduates being beat by a dog.

After being galvanized by a little dog, the HuangArt performance students pledged to work even harder. Otherwise, they could be labeled by teachers as “inferior to a dog” after graduation.

After Curly Hair’s news squeezed into the headlines, the upper management of various media entertainment companies flipped out. “Aren’t you all useless?! It’s fine if you can’t beat Fang Zhao. But, to lose to even his dog?!”

Fang Zhao when he saw all the news: “…”

Alright .

At least not many people were paying attention to the matter of the “genius primary school student”.

Fang Zhao felt that he really was becoming more mellow.
