I Became an Overnight Celebrity by Burning Incense
Chapter 37: Cat Paw, Hurry Up and Get Jin Li a Membership
[Jinli's livestream you are following has started]
Gu Cheng glanced at the time. It was nine in the evening; it was getting a bit late.
Jinli appeared before everyone in home clothes. Her attire was very simple and she wore no makeup, giving her a very down-to-earth impression.
"Hello everyone. There's still a little time left tonight, so I'll continue studying. I went through some practice problems during the day and felt my foundation was a bit weak, so I need to go back and repeatedly review the teacher's instructional content. So today, I'll be watching the teacher's lectures."
As a flood of comments scrolled past, Gu Cheng could barely see Jinli's face. It was only after he selected "Screen Protection" that the comments subsided significantly.
On stage, the host was still loudly promoting the auction item, telling everyone just how precious it was.
Yan Xingdong nudged Gu Cheng. Seeing the screen on his phone, he was instantly speechless and whispered
"You're watching Teacher Jinli's livestream again. I'm telling you something serious: this necklace is the one you brought out. You're the one bidding on it later."
When the boy group March Sky brought out such a precious auction item, it wasn't because they wanted someone else to buy it, but so they could buy it back themselves.
By skillfully using this name, they were simply circulating the money back as a donation.
Gu Cheng said nonchalantly, "I'm watching a video. I'm not bidding. You're the captain, so you do it. Keep the price under 10 million."
Chen Lin heard this and quietly leaned in. "Captain, if you don't want to bid, why not let me do it? I love calling out prices the most."
Yan Xingdong pushed him back with disdain. "Let you bid? Do you think I have a death wish? Who knows what kind of nonsense you'll say."
He looked at Luo Yi, who was also looking at him with a smile; he didn't want to bid either.
Yan Xingdong said helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine. I'll do it!"
Since he was the captain of March Sky, he could only act as a nanny for everyone!
Yan Xingdong acted quickly. After a few colleagues gave him face by placing bids, he rapidly raised the auction price to 10 million, making it the first item in the Jinse Charity Gala to reach the 10 million mark.
The gala was being livestreamed simultaneously. When netizens saw this, they all praised March Sky for being generous, truly deserving of their status as a top-tier domestic boy group.
On the other side, with Jinli.
She continued watching videos to learn and recording key knowledge points.
Gradually, more and more office workers joined the livestream room.
Some had just joined after getting off work, lying in their chairs intending to watch some videos for entertainment, only to stumble upon Jinli's livestream.
When those netizens saw it was Jinli, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"
Good heavens, do celebrities work this hard too?
Originally, those workers were just browsing casually, thinking Jinli wouldn't be able to last long. But as they watched, they found themselves studying high school freshman content along with her.
One netizen couldn't help but post a comment
[My job is quite relaxed, so I can basically catch every one of Jinli's livestreams. I'm wondering, if I study and do problems along with Jinli, will I be able to take the Gaokao with her by the time it comes?]
This comment received many likes from other netizens.
[Good heavens, if I actually manage to get into a key university by studying with Jinli, should I go or not?]
[Man, how did I not think of that? I want to study with Jinli too!]
As the topic developed, everyone began to fantasize about their dreams of overcoming countless obstacles, crushing tens of millions of candidates to cross the single-plank bridge, and getting into a prestigious university.
At this moment, a netizen finally spoke the truth.
[Stop dreaming. The units Jinli has been studying lately are very basic, and she's still watching those free released courses. Once she finishes this unit, all subjects will require a fee, and MaoZhua doesn't have the authority to livestream them.]
But some netizens were not giving up. They went to the MaoZhua livestream forums to start threads, asking if the official platform could sponsor a membership for Jinli's learning platform so she could gain livestreaming rights, allowing everyone to study together. One person left a message
[I really want to be an achiever, MaoZhua, don't force me to beg you!!!]
As soon as this post appeared, it was flooded with hundreds of replies, immediately catching the attention of the forum staff, who reported the thread to their superiors.
Two hours later, Jinli's phone alarm went off.
She moved her body and stretched.
Recently, she seemed to have completely adapted to studying. Her [Twice the Result, Half the Effort] state activated very quickly; once activated, she would become extremely focused and easily lose track of time.
Therefore, every time she studied, she had to set an alarm to prevent herself from overstudying.
Jinli glanced at the comment section; everyone was praising her for being serious and having great perseverance.
She smiled, her eyes curving like crescents. "The livestream ends tonight. See you all tomorrow!"
What she didn't know was that after her livestream ended, that forum post about "asking MaoZhua to sponsor a membership for Jinli on the learning platform" exploded once again.
Netizens leaving the livestream room flocked to the thread, praising the idea.
The next day.
Jinli arrived at the Duomi Company in the morning to continue shooting the hard fashion shots that weren't finished yesterday.
With the experience of the second time, whether it was the makeup artist, photographer, lighting technician, or Jinli herself, everyone worked very quickly.
In just one morning, all the products were photographed.
During this time, Jinli discovered that [Twice the Result, Half the Effort] could be used stably during shoots. Although she couldn't do it quite like studying—where she could replenish her energy while learning—she could achieve a state of focus where she consumed less energy.
Jinli felt that activating [Twice the Result, Half the Effort] while working could allow her to sustain herself for longer.
"Teacher Jinli, can you continue shooting the promotional video this afternoon?" the photographer asked again.
She knew Jinli's health was weak. She had been present during the contract negotiations, and Morning Light Entertainment had specifically requested to split the advertisement shoot into two time slots out of fear that Jinli's health wouldn't support continuous high-intensity filming.
So, hearing Jinli say she could keep going, the photographer was quite surprised.
When she asked this, Sui Lingfang was also there; the entire team was having lunch together.
Sui Lingfang froze, looking at Jinli in shock. "You want to keep shooting this afternoon too?"
Jinli nodded firmly. "Let's shoot. I feel like my physical condition is quite good. Since I can handle it, we might as well get it done early; it has to be shot anyway."
Sui Lingfang hadn't been on set this morning; she had spent time talking with He Yixuan while also taking her on a small gig.
The company had a meeting in the afternoon, and according to the original plan, they were supposed to return for it.
Seeing that Jinli wanted to shoot, Sui Lingfang didn't dally. She quickly made a decision and said with a serious expression
"Alright. You know your own physical condition better than anyone, so I won't try to talk you out of it. But I will accompany you this afternoon. If I find that you aren't feeling well, I will call a stop immediately."
Jinli understood Sister Fang's concern and nodded. "Okay."
After lunch, Jinli went to a nearby hotel to rest for a bit.
As soon as she turned on her phone, many messages popped up on WeChat. She had been added to a strange group chat.
Clicking on it, she found that Ji Qinglian had created a group for the participants of *PICK~ The Next Diva*. The March Sky boy group was also in it, but Lian Baozhi was the only one missing.
