Chapter 24 Monthly interest rates as low as 100%
10+?
Jiang Bai swallowed back the words he originally wanted to say in refusal.
His expression changed instantly.
He currently has 10 stamina points, which is already considered the peak of an ordinary person by the system.
But he was always curious.
What does it actually feel like to break through the limits of human capability?
This head instructor is actually a superhuman with a physical strength exceeding 10.
And its strength is as high as 12?
"That's interesting..."
Jiang Bai's competitive spirit was ignited.
He wanted to test how big the gap was between his system-generated, rapidly advanced ordinary person peak and this kind of superhuman who had truly trained.
"OK!"
Jiang Bai nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"Since the head instructor is in the mood, I'll practice with you."
"However, you'll have to go easy on me."
……
The two walked to the table.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of several surrounding formations.
"Holy crap? What's that for?"
"That model student wants to arm wrestle with the head instructor?"
"Are you crazy? That's Old Black! I heard he used to bend steel bars with his bare hands!"
"Who is this guy? He's so brave!"
"I don't know!"
In an instant, the once lifeless playground became lively.
Everyone craned their necks, eager to see what would happen.
on the table.
Their hands clasped together.
A fair-skinned, slender bird with clearly defined joints.
A dark, rough-looking animal, covered in calluses.
The visual contrast is extremely large.
"Ready—"
The Shandong instructor, acting as referee, looked excited.
"start!"
boom!
The moment the words were spoken, two forces erupted instantly.
Jiang Bai originally thought that with his 10 points of stamina, even if he couldn't win, he could at least keep the score even.
But at the very moment of exerting force.
His expression changed.
He felt like he wasn't holding a hand.
It's a hydraulic jack!
An overwhelming force surged through his wrist.
stable!
Shen!
ruthless!
That kind of power isn't brute force, but a skillful, instantaneous burst of power.
Jiang Bai's wrist was instantly pressed down a bit.
Holy crap!
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his neck, and used every ounce of strength he had.
"Get up!"
The wrist that had been pressed down was now back on the surface.
Old Hei looked at Jiang Bai, whose face was flushed red, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Oh?"
"This kid's got some skills."
"They actually withstood my first burst of power?"
Keep in mind that his strength comes from special training; in an arm-wrestling match, he could easily defeat an ordinary person!
How could Jiang Bai withstand it?
Moreover, you can feel a strong rebound force.
The system's cold voice rang out at the opportune moment, carrying a hint of a salesman's cunning:
[Ding! The host is being crushed by overwhelming force.]
[Fact Check: While the head instructor possesses exceptional overall physical strength, he is not a top-tier power lifter. World-class strongmen and weightlifting champions typically have a strength rating between 30 and 50.]
The opponent before me is roughly at the level of a national-level weightlifter.
[Does the host feel powerless? Do they crave greater power?]
Purchase the [Gene Breakthrough Card] now for only 10 popularity points! Instantly break through bottlenecks and even have a chance to turn the tide!
To buy or not to buy?
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth and persevered, while roaring inwardly:
"roll!"
"I'm not buying it! I don't have the money!"
"One hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob someone!"
"Losing to the head instructor isn't shameful! Wouldn't it be better to save that 100,000 yuan and buy some spare ribs?"
He's a rational pauper.
Spending 100,000 popularity points to win an arm wrestling match?
You must be out of your mind to buy that.
[Ding! Loans are available now!!! Monthly interest rates as low as 100%~]
"Get the hell out of here!"
In that very instant, as he was distracted and criticizing the system...
Old Hei astutely spotted Jiang Bai's weakness.
"Kid, getting distracted is a big no-no!"
Old Hei chuckled and suddenly exerted his strength.
"fall!"
Snapped!
A crisp sound.
Jiang Bai slammed the back of his hand heavily on the table.
Lost.
Clean and efficient.
"call……"
Jiang Bai shook his aching wrist. Although he had lost, he felt a sense of relief.
It's a good thing he lost.
If I beat the head instructor, how will I ever get along at school again?
This is called social etiquette!
"The instructor is amazing!"
Jiang Bai stood up and sincerely gave a thumbs up:
"I'm truly impressed."
"It felt like arm wrestling with an elephant!"
Old Hei laughed heartily, stood up, and patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder.
His gaze was as if he were looking at a peerless piece of jade.
"You're something else, kid!"
"You're the only freshman in this year's class who can withstand 70% of my strength without falling!"
"Are you interested in joining the army?"
"With your physical condition, it's a waste that you're not in the military!"
"As long as you agree, I'll handle the paperwork! I guarantee I'll get you into the best unit!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding classmates immediately erupted in uproar.
On-the-spot conscription?
This treatment is too good!
However, Jiang Bai shook his head vigorously without even thinking:
"No, no, no!"
"Instructor, my ambitions lie elsewhere."
"I still prefer singing and acting, and I want to be an artist."
Join the army?
Although Jiang Bai greatly admired soldiers, all he wanted to do was lie down and relax.
He can't stand any hardship!
Upon hearing this, Lao Hei's face showed a look of regret.
"Oh, what a pity."
"Since you have your own aspirations, I won't force you."
"Come find me anytime you have the chance!"
"yes!"
Jiang Bai saluted.
There will never be a chance, not in your entire life!
Feeling the gazes of those around him, Jiang Bai felt a bit socially awkward despite losing the game and being watched by so many people.
But the pleasant notification sound in his ear put him in a great mood.
[Ding! Shock level from onlookers +1]
[Ding! Admiration from a girl +1]
[Ding! Talent appreciation value from the head instructor +100 (Fanatic level)]
This wave of profits is phenomenal!
……
Night falls.
Shanghai Theatre Academy Auditorium.
Tonight is the final selection for the freshman welcome party.
Although it was called the final election, it was more like a meet-and-greet.
After last night's brutal preliminary selection, the remaining programs are basically all high-quality ones.
Unless there is a major mistake, they are unlikely to be eliminated.
Jiang Bai used the excuse of requesting leave to escape again.
Old Zhang waved his hand and said, "Approved."
then.
Jiang Bai slipped into the toilet on the top floor of the old teaching building again and changed into the white dress with practiced ease.
His entry into the auditorium still caused quite a stir.
"Here she comes! The goddess in the white dress has arrived!"
"She looks even more beautiful today!"
"Of course! She's a talented original artist; her talent gives her an edge!"
"Beauty can come even without talent!"
Ignoring the stares around him, Jiang Bai found a corner to sit down.
Holding the program schedule in his hand.
I glanced at it.
Besides his sweet version of "Love You".
Lin Feng's melodramatic version of "Love You" was also selected.
"Let's just keep crashing all the way to the bottom."
Jiang Bai muttered a complaint, but didn't pay it any mind.
The final election process went smoothly.
Basically, the production team reads out the list of names to confirm the requirements for background music, costumes, and lighting.
Jiang Bai went up and showed her face, once again captivating the mentors with her sweet smile and voice.
"Jiang Bai, your program is a priority for protection!"
"Please feel free to mention any clothing needs you may have."
"We'll provide you with the best lighting."
This treatment is practically like that of a beloved daughter!
At last.
The teacher in charge of the party stood up to give a summary:
"Alright, all the programs on the list have been approved."
"Practice on your own for the next few days."
"Next Monday, we'll begin our first official dress rehearsal."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Upon hearing the words "next Monday," Jiang Bai finally felt relieved.
Today is Wednesday.
I'm going to Kyoto Studios for an audition tomorrow, Thursday.
I'll be back on Saturday, the day after tomorrow.
The timing was perfect, they were all perfectly timed!
……
They walked out of the auditorium.
The night breeze was slightly cool.
Jiang Bai took out his phone and glanced at WeChat.
Ten minutes ago, casting assistant Xiao Liu sent me a message on WeChat:
"Miss Jiang, you haven't forgotten the audition at 2 PM tomorrow, have you?"
"Do you need me to arrange a car to pick you up from the airport?"
"Our crew has dedicated vans in Beijing that can take you directly to your hotel."
Pick up?
That must not be possible.
If I let him pick me up at the airport and he turns out to be a handsome guy with a buzz cut, then what's the point of auditioning for a role?
Jiang Bai replied:
"No need, thank you."
"I can go there myself."
"See you tomorrow."
After replying to the message, I put my phone away.
Back in the rooftop restroom, Jiang Bai looked at himself in the mirror.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like peach blossoms.
Even in this simple environment, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
"With looks like this, I'm almost falling in love with myself. I'm sure I'll pass the audition!"
Jiang Bai touched his face.
This face is going to Kyoto for an audition tomorrow.
That's the heart of the entertainment industry.
It is the starting point of the world of fame and fortune.
It's also the system's ATM with one million in cash!
"Kyoto..."
"One million...instant riches..."
"I am coming!"
