This Star Only Wants More Money - Chapter 36

Translator: Diviner

[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the commission task valued at 46,817.57 yuan! (Completion Rate: 100%)]

[Temporary abilities have been revoked.]

[The host may choose from the following options: 1. Receive the full payment for this commission; 2. The system will deduct 90% of this commission’s income and 90% of the 3-month earnings of “Once You” but will increase singing ability by +3, playing ability by +5, and add +1 free allocation point, along with 46,817.57 points.]

[New optional task unlocked: As a mercenary in the entertainment industry, you should expand your client base beyond just the singing circle. The host should try to take on some commissions in other fields!]

Xu Feng quickly glanced at the panel, chose option 2, then picked up his phone and checked the agreed meeting location with the fan.

Having scoped out the area last time when he was practicing the piano, Xu Feng quickly left the party site.

He attracted some attention along the way, but only a few people actually followed him.

“It should be around here… why can’t I see anyone?”

Xu Feng looked around but didn’t spot anyone who looked like they were waiting for him. He couldn’t help but check the time again.

He couldn’t afford to waste too much time here…

He scanned the area, noticing several people: men, women, faculty members, and even a stunningly beautiful girl not far away, with perfect proportions and an outfit so intricate it was almost over the top. She had a large box beside her and seemed to be looking for someone, too.

Xu Feng paid little attention to these unrelated people, pulled out his phone, and sent a message to “Big Bird Spin Spin Spin”, “Where are you? I’m already here.”

Three seconds later, he got a reply from “Big Bird Spin Spin Spin”, “I see you. Just keep walking straight in the direction you’re facing, and you’ll find me.”

Xu Feng suspiciously raised his head, took a few steps forward, ignoring the pretty girl’s smile and her direct gaze, and walked past her.

He sent another message, “I don’t see anyone.”

Behind him, Cheng Luan’s previously bright smile gradually turned into confusion as Xu Feng treated her like thin air.

She clenched her fists, and a pleasant voice squeezed out from between her teeth, “I’m behind you! Who exactly are you looking at?!”

Xu Feng abruptly turned around and finally took a good look at the girl behind him. She was wearing a luxurious Lolita-style dress, complete with a delicate hairpin and thigh-high white stockings that showcased her beauty.

But more importantly, there was a self-assured elegance that exuded from her very core, enhancing her allure even further.

For a moment, the only person Xu Feng could compare her to in terms of looks and figure was Lin Shenghuan.

However, their styles and temperaments were completely different.

Xu Feng was still in disbelief. “You… uh, are ‘Big Bird Spin Spin Spin’?”

Seriously, what kind of girl would pick such an odd, abstract username?

Weren’t they supposed to be a guy?!

Cheng Luan’s gaze softened, ignoring the surrounding stares, and she showed no restraint in her enthusiasm towards Xu Feng, “That’s just my screen name. You can call me Cheng Luan. You should also know my younger brother, Cheng Zhao, from the Mechanical Engineering Department.”

Xu Feng wasn’t particularly interested in her identity. His first thought was that the custom merchandise might have been wrong… Judging by Cheng Luan’s appearance, she might prefer some “fancier” and more glamorous items.

Oh well, the merchandise was already made, and it cost him a full ten thousand points, so there was no way he could make a new one.

A graphics card isn’t that bad, right?

It wasn’t his fault—who would have thought “Big Bird Spin Spin Spin” would turn out to be a girl?

Delivering the gift quickly and getting into the car was the most urgent matter at hand.

Xu Feng thrust the box into Cheng Luan’s hands and spoke rapidly, “This is your custom-made merchandise, which includes my signature and an electronic album. Just make sure not to distribute it privately. That’s all; I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be off…”

Although she hadn’t yet seen what was inside the box, Cheng Luan was delighted by the exquisite packaging, holding it with great care.

Such a beautiful box, with a world-exclusive album and a signature… she loved this merchandise!

She’d make sure to put it in the best display case back home!

Cheng Luan carefully cradled the box, listening to Xu Feng’s emotionless rambling, and kindly reminded him, “By the way, there’s a girl over there who seems to be looking for you.

Are you sure you don’t want to check it out?”

What now?

Who else could be looking for him at this school, aside from the scouts from the brokerage companies that sneaked in?

Xu Feng looked puzzled and followed Cheng Luan’s gaze.

Not far away, Chen Huihui’s pale face was glaringly obvious as she held a box of unknown contents, seemingly unable to believe Xu Feng would give gifts to another girl.

Most crucially, in terms of appearance and personality, Cheng Luan outshone Chen Huihui in multiple dimensions, especially with her confidence, which made Chen Huihui feel a sense of inferiority.

It was just a gift to a fan who managed the fan group… For someone like Chen Huihui, who misinterpreted everything, Xu Feng was too lazy to explain.

Xu Feng knew Cheng Luan had likely seen the infamous concert scene, so he waved his hand dismissively, “She’s just a joke, there’s nothing to worry about.”

After this campus party, there was almost zero chance they’d meet again; saying anything more was a waste of breath.

Cheng Luan’s lips curled into a smile, and after glancing at Chen Huihui, she pointed to the box beside her and changed the topic, “You never release any merchandise, so I can’t support you properly… So I thought about it and got this for you. Just a little token of appreciation, to reciprocate the gift.”

Inside was a custom-made Fender bass guitar, with a card that Cheng Luan had painstakingly written herself.

She believed Xu Feng would love it.

Indeed, Xu Feng, even in a hurry, was dazzled by the high-end instrument at first glance, and he sincerely praised, “This guitar is awesome, but it’s too expensive, I can’t accept it…”

Before he could finish, the smile on Cheng Luan’s face stiffened once again, turning into shock and confusion.

After a full three seconds, she burst out laughing as if she had been amused, “Xu Feng! Have you considered the possibility that this might actually be a bass?”

Why was her idol always so mysterious? Was he even human?

How could someone who mastered both instruments mistake them like this?

…

Ten minutes later, on a road near Luohe University.

Xu Feng placed the guitar case into the trunk of the car—Cheng Luan insisted on giving him the bass guitar.

And the process was quite awkward; his temporary ability had left him, and the lighting was poor, so he’d mistaken her gift.

“I never would have thought Cheng Zhao would have such a sister; their personalities are worlds apart.”

Xu Feng fastened his seatbelt, looked at the busy road, and sighed.

He had wasted too much time.

He might as well play with his phone a bit more…

Xu Feng had just pulled out his phone when he saw a message from Lin Shenghuan.

“Hehehe, Handsome Xu, you did great today; many girls were staring at you with stars in their eyes.”

Xu Feng was taken aback, “Sister Huan, you were there too?”

Why does this superstar seem so leisurely?

Lin Shenghuan replied, “I haven’t had much to do, so I came to have a look. I hid myself well; no one noticed me.”

Xu Feng asked, “Isn’t the ‘Tomorrow’s God of Song’ show keeping you busy?”

Lin Shenghuan fell silent for three seconds. It wasn’t the first time Xu Feng had left her speechless, and she could only retort, “Xu Feng, do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

That show ended three days ago!”

“And to think I’ve been following you so closely! Fake fan!!!”

“Never mind, let’s talk business… There happens to be a job here that I’m too busy with my new album to handle. Are you interested in taking it on?”
