Chapter 62: White Jia, the Movie Emperor (Five Thousand Bookmark Bonus Update)

“Even in death I will still love you!!!”

“Only when it is completely intense will it feel satisfying——”

A familiar incoming call BGM rang out. Pei Ye glanced at the caller ID and immediately hung up.

At the same time, dormitory 4021.

Zhou Huirong held the phone that had been hung up, her expression dim as she shook her head at her roommates. Everyone deflated like frost beaten eggplants.

Even Bai Xiaoxiao flopped onto her bed in despair, her face ashen.

“She is so petty, how can she be like this, this is a matter of life and death!”

They had not listened to Pei Ye’s warning and, unable to resist their pursuit of beauty, used Lei Yating’s unlicensed, no label products. That was indeed their mistake.

But did that mistake really deserve to be repaid with several flower like lives?

The price was far too high.

How could Pei Ye be so ruthless?

Zhou Huirong looked troubled.

“She did warn us, but we did not listen. That is our fault…”

Mi Xiangjun and the others only knew how to cry. Bai Xiaoxiao scratched her hair violently and snapped back at her in anger.

“Is this really the time for that? We are about to die, can you stop acting like a self righteous saint?”

She could not stand the pretentious white lotus act of the dorm leader, always morally grandstanding and hypocritically generous.

When they used Lei Yating’s products, Zhou Huirong did not even say a word.

No, she had said plenty, all of it praise.

Now that something went wrong, she started standing on the moral high ground.

What was the point of that hindsight preaching?

If Zhou Huirong had really taken Pei Ye’s warning seriously, how did her spots, large pores, acne marks disappear?

How did her weight come off?

How did her stretch marks vanish?

Why did she not remind them when she benefited?

Zhou Huirong was left speechless.

The girls in dorm 4021 were all fairly decent looking. Without acne marks, rough pores, obesity, or dull skin, they had become pretty and delicate girls.

Under normal circumstances they would have been thrilled by this transformation, but now they were filled with regret.

Beauty mattered, but compared to life, of course life came first.

If there were a regret pill in the world, they would have followed Xiao Hong’s instructions carefully.

“Maybe we should——”

Mi Xiangjun spoke up, drawing everyone’s attention. She hesitated before suggesting.

“Let us go find a teacher. If the teacher speaks to Xiao Hong, she should listen, right?”

Reality proved that finding a teacher was not a universal solution.

Not only did they fail to make Pei Ye relent through the teacher, they were instead sternly lectured for indulging in superstition.

It was still a muggy summer. As they left the teacher’s office, all of them shivered in unison.

Other students were sweating from the heat, but they felt a chill in their bones.

Bai Xiaoxiao was furious.

“If that does not work, we go find that bastard Lei Yating!”

“Will that work?”

“If she does not help us, we report her for selling fake medicine and killing people. Even if she turns into a ghost we will not let her go!”

Even though Lei Yating had been reborn and even held a golden finger like the Heavenly Court Immortals Group, deep down she was still an ordinary person with a natural fear of the law.

To outsiders, Bai Xiaoxiao’s threat sounded ridiculous, but Lei Yating happened to be the type who took it seriously.

More importantly, Lei Yating never intended to kill them in the first place.

If they died, who knew whether those death debts would be counted on her and interfere with her cultivation?

So Bai Xiaoxiao and the others kept pestering Lei Yating for now, leaving no time to bother Pei Ye.

The specialized college managed students loosely, and Xiao Hong, in this body, was already infamous as a delinquent. Not returning to the dorm was normal.

She attended classes occasionally during the day, and at night stayed in a hotel playing games.

Yes, playing games.

Apparently a casual game very suitable for older people.

Rhythm Master

A master playing Rhythm Master was not the same as an ordinary person playing Rhythm Master.

[Ordinary person]: Mom, why did you only give me six hands?

[True clumsy player]: The game difficulty is too high, I cannot play this beep——

But a master’s speed would not only make onlookers question reality, it would also confuse the game itself.

[Game]: Did she press it?

[Screen]: No idea.

[Game]: Then what do we do?

[Screen]: Just let her pass.

[Game]: So fast, so fast~~~

[Screen]: Slow down, slow down~~~

With that speed and reaction ability?

This was no longer something twenty years of being single could achieve. At least two hundred years of singlehood were required.

Pei Ye: “……”

Forget two hundred years, even three hundred years of being single had nothing to do with her hand speed.

After playing all night, she felt like she had worn down a layer off her phone screen.

She reached into her pocket and found she had run out of cigarettes.

Thinking there was a convenience store nearby, she took some change and her room card and went out.

The corridor was long and winding, dim orange light stretching into the distance. The unseen corners were filled with darkness.

She walked down in slippers and took the elevator.

As she left, the dark red carpet on the floor seemed to emit a faint ominous aura.

The convenience store was not far. Pei Ye hummed a tune as she bought a pack of cigarettes.

When she was about to leave after paying, she overheard two clerks talking.

Clerk A: “I heard White Jia is filming The Youthful Time Between You and Me at X University. Do you think we will see him?”

Clerk B: “Forget it. A movie emperor like him would come buy things himself? Celebrities always have assistants.”

Clerk A: “Right. If anything, they would go to a supermarket. Why would they come to a small convenience store like this?”

Pei Ye had no interest in chasing celebrities, especially not NPC world celebrities.

Who was White Jia?

Was he famous?

She did not think much of it, stuffed the cigarettes into her pocket, and left.

Walking while scrolling on her phone, she noticed that the app “Love and Raising a Child” suddenly had a big red exclamation mark.

When she tapped it, a side quest popped up.

Side Quest: While your dad was buying cigarettes at the convenience store, you overheard two clerks talking and felt the name White Jia was somewhat familiar.

Task 1: Find the movie emperor White Jia

Task 2: White Jia seems to be in trouble. Investigate his situation

Completion reward: 50 Merit points, 5 Fortune points

This side quest was just like the last traffic accident with the red shadow at the intersection.

Pei Ye frowned slightly, but still accepted it.

Even a mosquito leg is still meat. Fifty Merit points were still Merit points.

Although White Jia was a movie emperor in the entertainment industry and difficult for ordinary people to approach, was she an ordinary person?

Tomorrow she would go to Zhu Chun’an’s friend’s incense and candle Taobao shop to buy something for Ying Lin and have Ying Lin help investigate.

If she remembered correctly, the female lead Lei Yating’s entry into the entertainment industry, singing, dancing, acting, and becoming a movie queen, seemed to be triggered by this White Jia.

Tsk.

If there were clearer hints, it would save her the trouble of guessing.

Back in her hotel room, just as she was about to swipe her card open the door, her sharp hearing caught strange noises from inside.

Pei Ye: “???”

A thief?

Excited!!!

Pei Ye: Excited (p≧w≦q)
