Chapter 42 Golden Legendary Item?!
The air conditioning in the hotel room was very strong.
Jiang Bai lay sprawled on the bed in a "big" shape, his phone tossed aside.
On the screen, news about "Beauty's Rival in Palace" and the "mysterious chosen one Zhang Yan" continues to spread, with various marketing accounts acting like sharks smelling blood, frantically speculating about the identity of this newcomer.
But Jiang Bai doesn't want to see it at all right now.
It's enough to give you a headache just looking at it.
"What a tragedy..."
"I can't live like this anymore."
I recall Yu Zheng's fanatical gaze in the studio during the day, as if he had seen his own father, and his thought process of using "men playing empresses" as a brilliant marketing tactic.
Jiang Bai felt that his future was bleak.
He could even foresee that for the next few months, he would be wearing that wig and heavy makeup, crying and sobbing in front of a group of grown men on set.
"No! This is so frustrating!"
"I need to vent!"
"There's nothing a ten-pull can't solve; if there is, then thirty pulls will do!"
Jiang Bai sat up abruptly and activated the system.
Although he spent a lot of money on the lottery, his current popularity is still quite considerable.
After all, although the cameo role as the courtesan cost only a thousand dollars, that stunning glance back still amazed a large number of staff members, even on set.
In addition, the online buzz surrounding that photo continues to grow.
His popularity score has now unknowingly reached over 16,000.
"System! Give me thirty consecutive pulls!"
"I need a change of fortune! I need to clear my name!"
"I want to try my luck at getting a Gundam! Or maybe a billionaire trial card!"
The giant virtual roulette wheel reappeared.
The light flashed, and the pointer spun rapidly.
Jiang Bai stared intently at the roulette wheel, muttering to himself:
"Withdraw money! Withdraw money! Withdraw money! "
Thank you for your patronage.
Thank you for your patronage.
Thank you for your patronage.
……
Reality is always harsh.
The first ten attempts all failed.
The familiar gray words felt like slaps to Jiang Bai's face!
"I'll endure it!"
"These are all used as padding tools!"
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth and continued clicking the lottery draw.
Finally, on the fifteenth shot, a faint white light flashed.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a cash reward of 100 yuan.]
"..."
Jiang Bai watched as the light red banknote fluttered into his system inventory, his lips twitching wildly.
One hundred dollars?
Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?
Other systems start with "a reward of 10 billion" or "a reward of an entire building".
You're giving me a hundred bucks as a reward?
This isn't even a fraction of what we spent on that roast duck!
"System, aren't you being a bit too stingy?"
"Look at the super-rich system next door, and then look at yourself!"
[Ding! Please refrain from comparing yourself to others.]
Even a hundred dollars is money; little by little, it adds up. Be thrifty and manage your household well.
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes, almost laughing in exasperation.
Fine, you're so high and mighty.
Keep drawing!
It was another "Thank you for your patronage" message several times in a row.
Until the twenty-fifth shot.
A pink light shone.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the accessory: [Pure Desire Pearl Hairpin] .]
[Item Description: This is an exquisitely crafted deep-sea pearl hair clip.]
[Attribute Bonus: When worn, Charm +1 (Only effective when female or in female attire).]
[Note: Wearing this will make you the most protective little sister on the whole street~]
Jiang Bai looked at the small, exquisite pearl hair clip that had appeared out of thin air in his hand, shimmering with a warm luster.
My hands are shaking a little.
Charm +1?
His charm level is now 9 points.
If we add one more point, it will be a maximum of 10 points!
That's the limit of human charm, it's at the level of bringing disaster to the country and its people!
but……
"Pure desire?"
"younger sister?"
"I'm a man!"
"You want me to wear this? I'd rather wear a headband!"
Jiang Bai angrily threw the hair clip into a corner of the system space.
Rubbish!
It's all garbage!
"This is the last shot."
"My luck isn't good today; even a gambling addict needs to stop now."
Jiang Bai looked at the lucky wheel.
The heart is ashamed.
"Forget it, let's just destroy it. I'm tired."
He casually clicked on the lottery one last time, then prepared to wash up and go to bed.
however.
Just as he was about to close the panel.
boom!
A dazzling golden light burst forth without warning!
The light was so intense that it almost blinded Jiang Bai.
The entire hotel room seemed to be illuminated.
"Holy crap?!"
"A golden legend?!"
Jiang Bai, who was on the verge of death, suddenly sat up in shock, his heart pounding wildly.
Golden light!
That's the highest level of reward!
Is it "god-level acting skills"?
Or is it "billions of dollars"?
Or is it a superpower like "teleportation"?
Jiang Bai held his breath, staring intently at the icon after the light faded.
It was black, smooth, and had a healthy sheen...
A clump of fur?
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you're incredibly lucky! Your luck has exploded!]
[Obtained Golden Item: [Ever-Changing, Silky Smooth, Absolutely Won't Fall Off - Realistic Wig] ]
Jiang Bai: "???"
His hands trembled as he looked at the black object floating in the air.
Wig?
What the hell is this wig?!
Lao Tzu's golden legend is just a wig?!
[Prop Description: This is no ordinary wig.]
It uses futuristic high-polymer biomaterials, offering excellent breathability and automatically conforming to the scalp after wearing, feeling like natural skin.
Feature 1: It won't fall off even if you shake it violently. Whether you're suspended by wires, on a roller coaster, or in a category 10 typhoon, it's as secure as if it's permanently attached to your head.
Feature 2: Versatile styling. It can be permed, dyed, styled, or cut; even complex period costume styles like the one mentioned earlier can be easily achieved without damaging the hair.
Feature 3: Realistic Touch. It feels smooth to the touch, and the hair strands are strong; even up close, no one can tell it's fake.
The system even thoughtfully added insult to injury:
[Ding! Detected that the host was troubled during the day on set because of concerns about their hairstyle being exposed.]
[This system, understanding the host's urgent needs, has specially presented this divine item.]
With this, Mom will never have to worry about your period costume giving you away again!
This is—the ultimate weapon for cross-dressing masters!
Jiang Bai held the wig in his hands, the one with the best feel.
He was completely petrified.
A full minute passed.
A piercing scream shattered the hotel's tranquility.
"No--!!!"
"System! I'm not done with you yet!"
"Who wants to be a cross-dresser?!"
"What I want is money! Superpowers! To become stronger!"
"Why did you give me a wig? Are you trying to weld me to the character of Zhang Yan?"
"Still can't shake it off?"
"Are you afraid Yu Zheng will pull my hair?"
Jiang Bai threw the wig hard onto the bed.
This is hardly a reward.
This is clearly a curse!
This was clearly the system implying to him: Stop struggling, just obediently dress as a woman, you can't go any further down this road!
"I don't want to go further down the path of cross-dressing!"
"I want to play a tough guy! I want to play a Wolf Warrior! I want to play the Godfather!"
"Waaaaah..."
Jiang Bai was filled with grief and indignation.
But looking at that high-end wig that glittered under the lights...
He silently picked it up again.
He sighed.
"well……"
"Although I really don't want to admit it."
"But...it smells so good."
"With this, we really don't have to worry about any mistakes when we do the makeup after signing the contract tomorrow."
Jiang Bai took the wig, walked to the mirror, and tried it on.
It fits instantly.
It's as if it grew out of itself.
I tugged at it.
Not moving.
"What a tragedy..."
The long-haired "beauty" in the mirror shed two lines of clear tears.
