Chapter 04: Invitation

On the other side, Qin An was still walking around the street when he sensed a fiery gaze on him again. Sharply looking back, he met a man who was obviously startled by his cold eyes.

Qin An stops and the latter immediately stops in front of him. The young man had a smile on his face as he looked at him up and down. He slightly frowned. He didn't like the way it looked at him. It was very rude for him, especially at how blatant the man looked at him.

He was about to ignore that person but unexpectedly, the young man was quick to appear in front of him. The young man started looking at him even more in this closer distance and he saw his eyes brighten like a bulb, shining very dazzlingly.

"H-Hi!" The latter greeted him with a faint of excitement. He didn't answer and merely looked at him. The latter blushed in embarrassment but he quickly took a small card from his pocket and handed it to him.

It was a small card with a string of numbers written on it. With also a name— Li Bai, Dream Star Entertainment Company.

"My name is Li Bai. I'm a talent searcher. I actually want to invite you to join a show."

Qin An is confused. "Show?"

"Yes." The young man nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "It's the Lucky99. Have you heard about it?" Li Bai proudly revealed his background but Qin An, who was like a white canvas in this era, didn't know. So he just stared blankly at him.

Li Bai shrank his neck. "N-No?" He hesitatingly asks him but still no answer.

Li Bai: "...."

Is it even possible? Their company is very famous around the world and this new show definitely spread to every corner of the world. They made sure it reaches everyone's ear to give them a chance to join this yet a fish actually slipped in the net? Li Bai was quick to come to his senses and smile at him again.

"Lucky99 is actually a talent show. It's for young men who want to become an idol."

Idol? Qin An remembered another soul who was a young girl. Due to her early age and eager personality, he had no choice back then to let her see her idol before sending her to the Hall. She wanted to see her idol before walking away.

As she explained back then, an idol is someone who sings and dances on the stage, right?

Qin An was also there when he accompanied the young girl on a concert and he felt regretful accepting the young girl's wish when he saw the endless screams from the hundred of thousands of people crowding inside one place. There was a huge platform in front and Qin An caught a glimpse of some people performing on stage. However, Qin An was even less interested in watching so he just closed his senses and didn't even bother to look at the stage again.

And now this young man just wants him to be like them?

But... singing and dancing? That was never a definition to Qin An. He never sang or danced in his entire thousand years in life.

And besides, he also saw how those idols sell meng in front of people. Him? A prestigious Grim Reaper would act cute to sell meng to people? Heavens must be joking.

"I'm not interested," he answered plainly to Li Bai.

"Ah?" Li Bai seems to be shocked by his decision. After all, Lucky99 is very famous. It's today's competition that every young man wants to win. It was a great opportunity to be famous and enter the industry.

But this young man actually does not want to?

But well, he knew that there are really people who don't want to be a star.

However, Li Bai looked at the face of Qin An again and felt an extreme pity.

This face was perfect in front of a camera. No dead ends at all. It was as if his face was carved through so much effort that there was not a mistake.

Such a pity to not be seen by the whole interstellar.

Li Bai certainly won't allow that!

"Young man, I think you are really suitable for this. Being a star is actually good! Besides, you will have no problem because we will provide everything. Shelter, food, money and other expenses— all!" He was very enthusiastic while explaining albeit inside he was crying.

Shelter and food? What a joke! Just looking at the temperament of this young man, he was clearly from an outstanding family. Why does he need shelter and food from them at all? Much worse that he might even despise what he was saying at all.

But he really couldn't think about persuading him. Given his temperament, he looks like a person who doesn't want to appear in the camera too often. It was obvious that what he just said was just nonsense!

Damnit! He really hates this day. This could be his final luck to participate in this competition. Why did he waste such an opportunity with so much nonsense!

Damn, what a mistake! I should have said that being an idol means everyone will be eager to get close to you, right? After all, there was almost no one who wanted to be in the limelight.

Unless a criminal.

But it's impossible for this young man at all!

Li Bai was helpless. He was actually tired already. Although he was a Manager at Dream Star, a large company in this industry, he was just a small one.

There is endless competition in their circle. And if you want to survive and maintain that kind of place, you must be shameless and seize every possible opportunity to be famous.

In their circle, being at the top will make your status even higher.

Because in interstellar, everyone will have their merits in life. Everyone will have a chance to have this merit and receive amounts of price from the government for those people who will do something very significant. One of them is to become an idol.

An idol is very influential. If you can stand in a high position and inspire many people, you can possibly have merit.

Anyway, he really had to put another effort again to convince this young man—

"Okay."

He was stunned. Okay? What's okay?

He must be hallucinating earlier. Who would be tempted by those conditions?! You're really hopeless—

"I'll join this competition."

Li Bai: "....?!"

Li Bai gasped. Did he really hear it right?!
