Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Celebrities who were involved with drugs would not only get arrested and charged, but they would also end up blacklisted by the public.

[Oh god! Is it not obvious? She was clearly taking drugs. That’s disgusting.]

?

[No wonder Mu Sheng acts funny all the time and doesn’t make sense. From the looks of it, she was probably high since she was on drugs.]

[Get out of the entertainment industry, Mu Sheng! No matter how pretty she is, she shouldn’t be a celebrity.]

At the hand of Talent Scout Entertainment’s marketing department, Mu Sheng’s drug problem quickly became a hot search online while people started to demand Mu Sheng to be driven out of the entertainment industry.

“Tian, what should we do now?” Tang Tiantian had been following Mu Sheng’s news online. The moment she saw the video, she had doubts. From the looks of it, Mu Sheng was definitely a drug user. Were Jiang Tian and her really wrong about Mu Sheng?

“What do you mean?” Jiang Tian typed on the keyboard rapidly as he spoke to Tang Tiantian.

“Mu Sheng looks like she is taking drugs in the video. How can we make it go away?” Tang Tiantian felt disappointed. Mu Sheng seemed like a decent girl, so it felt inconceivable she would take drugs.

“Pftt. It’s just a video. If they wanted to frame her, they can do anything.” Jiang Tian stopped typing and spoke with a look of ridicule on his face.

Tang Tiantian felt there was something amiss with what Jiang Tian had said, so she looked at him quizzically.

Jiang Tian used to look unrestrained and smile all the time without a care in the world. However, Jiang Tian now looked stern, and the serious look on his face from the side made her feel inexplicably depressed.

“Tian.” Tang Tiantian had never seen Jiang Tian like this before, so she quickly got affected and felt sad inside.

Jiang Tian turned his head, and his face reverted to his usual roguish look. “What? It’s not like I am dead yet, so don’t look at me like that. Since Mu Sheng told us to give her a week, we should wait. I trust her. Go back to work.”

“Okay.” Tang Tiantian nodded before she left hesitantly.

Jiang Tian sat at the desk in a daze. Tang Tiantian had never seen his eyes looking so dark before. Moments later, he finally went back to looking at the computer.

Inside the game, his teammates kept typing question marks. “Are you there? Are you mute? Come on! Shoot the bugger!”

The darkness in Jiang Tian’s eyes was quickly replaced by fury. He rolled up his sleeves and typed loudly. It felt as though he wanted to drill holes through his keyboard. “I was picking out a funeral wreath for you! Give me your address so I can send it over! I challenge you to a duel at the high-speed rail station!”

Tang Tiantian continued to feel worried after leaving the room, so she gave Mu Sheng a call. “Are you okay? Don’t worry about the post online.”

“I’m fine.” Mu Sheng’s voice sounded as calm as ever. Tang Tiantian could not help feeling as though nothing could make Mu Sheng lose her cool.

“Good. Tian said to call us if you need any help. Although there isn’t much we can do, we will do whatever we can.”

“Got it. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. I will leave you to it then. Bye-bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Sheng looked online. News about her drug abuse had spread throughout the internet. Talent Scout Entertainment could not wait to kick her out of the entertainment industry using the scandal. Posts about getting Ruan Yingying to go solo started to climb up the hot search.

“That was such a rookie! How could he play the video game if he was so bad at it? It looks so fake,” sighed Li An from time to time as he watched a video with his earphones on. “Why would anyone send you a gift? Was he blind or something?”

Mu Sheng turned off her phone and looked at Li An. “What are you looking at?”

“I’m watching a video game live stream.” Li An removed his earphones and placed his phone in front of Mu Sheng. “See how popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has become of late? Everyone is doing a live stream for the game. I just saw an incredibly rookie video game streamer playing. Even then, someone gave him a $1,000 gift.”

Initially, Mu Sheng did not take much interest. The moment she heard about a monetary gift, she looked up. “Can they get gifts?”

“Of course! The best game commentators on the platform can even make hundreds of thousands a month easy.” Li An sat down beside Mu Sheng and explained how the industry worked.

Mu Sheng roughly grasped how the mechanics of the industry worked ten minutes later. She turned to look at Li An’s phone. “What game were you talking about earlier?”

“PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.” Li An looked at Mu Sheng in surprise. “Why are you asking?”

Mu Sheng stood up and headed upstairs. “I’m going to make some money.”

She had everything she needed but was a little short on cash. Although she had never played PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds before, all games were the same. It would be easy for her to play it after some practice.

Li Hanchen was resting in his room when he heard the commotion outside. He walked out for a look and saw Li An moving his computer to Mu Sheng’s room.

“What are you doing?”

“Big Bro.” Li An turned his head. “I’m moving my computer over to Sis-in-Law’s room. She wants to borrow it.”

The moment Li An finished his sentence, he continued heading to her room.

“Take it back,” said Li Hanchen as his eyes landed on Li An’s laptop.

“Huh? Okay.” Li An felt his older brother was a little too petty. Were they not family? What was wrong with lending Mu Sheng this computer?

However, he was such a coward that he did not dare to question Li Hanchen and simply took his computer back to his room.

Li An did not want Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen to get into an argument because of the computer. After contemplating in his room for some time, he came up with an excuse and mustered his courage before he went over to Mu Sheng’s room. “Sis-in-Law, my computer is broken, so I can’t lend it to you.”

After Mu Sheng opened the door, she headed back into the room. “It’s fine. Hanchen said he would lend me an old computer of his.”

“Oh! Great!” Li An looked over at the computer on her desk.

It was black and looked like an ancient device and there were no logos on it. It was square in shape and looked heavy like an old computer from decades ago.

“Erm…” Li An scratched his head. His older brother was too much. Although they were broke, he should not have given Mu Sheng an old computer. “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is very demanding on computer specifications, so you can’t play it with an average…”

Just as he was about to say this ancient machine was not going to cut it, Mu Sheng started the game.

The high frame rate and high-resolution images instantly left Li An awestruck.

More importantly, the image was as smooth as silk. It was clear the computer came equipped with one of the best graphics cards.

Li An was stunned. He looked at the computer with a retro design before he glanced at his laptop.

Was his laptop not junk in comparison to the ancient-looking computer?

Li An ran into Li Hanchen’s room. “Do you still have any other old computers lying around? I think I should focus on my studies and my laptop is too good. I just want a simple computer, the older the better.”

Li An got his hands on a genuine old computer made 20 years ago at night, and he happily turned on the device.

Five minutes later, a notification appeared on the screen: Congratulations! The computer started in 5 minutes, so you have surpassed 0.01% of the other computers in the country in speed!

Li An felt hopeless. Why did it not turn out the way he expected?
