After a scene ended, Officer Xiao Li left with a complex mix of emotions, while Xiao He, relying on his excellent “acting skills,” successfully convinced Director Wang to keep him in the crew.

Meng Lulu also calmed down and sincerely apologized to Xiao He: “I’m sorry, Xiao, your acting is really good. It was my lack of skill that almost affected your performance.”

Xiao He shrugged indifferently: “It’s fine.”

As a “criminal,” being suspected was his destiny.

Meng Lulu blinked, carefully observing the young man in front of her, then said: “Xiao isn’t fierce at all, it’s just that his aura and eyes are too sharp, which makes him difficult to approach. If Xiao is interested in acting, I suggest trying to adjust it in the future.”

Xiao He gave a wry smile: “Alright, thank you for the reminder, Teacher Meng.”

Meng Lulu had actually phrased it very tactfully; what she meant was more than just sharp? It was absolutely brutal!

Xiao He also wanted to change his aura and eyes, but with little success, he could only try his best to wear sunglasses and a mask to somewhat conceal his current “criminal aura.”

Lest he be reported to the police after just a few steps, he was truly “caught” too many times!

Taking this opportunity, Xiao He chatted with Meng Lulu for a while, finally understanding the basic situation of the film crew.

The Director Wang, named Wang Xingyuan, specialized in idol dramas, having over twenty works to his name, but none of them had much impact, making him the most looked down upon idol drama assembly line director in the industry.

What is an idol drama assembly line? It’s like a factory assembly line, where idol dramas are filmed according to fixed processes and models. These idol dramas mostly have formulaic plots, templated character designs, and themes deliberately catering to popular tastes and trends, basically filming whatever is popular, severely lacking innovation.

And the current filming of “burning heart” was because there had been a wave of criminal investigation dramas in the market recently, so Director Wang also followed the trend and filmed this idol drama that was disguised as a criminal investigation drama but was actually still about the male and female leads falling in love.

For example, the serial killer male fifth, played by Xiao He, according to the plot’s progression, was already the biggest villain in this idol drama.

The first few major roles were basically paired up, forming couples to satisfy the sweet-craving tastes of various CP fans.

Xiao He: ...So only “he” was seriously causing trouble.

But actually, regarding this, the crew genuinely didn’t have enough money to add another romance line.

Otherwise, do you think villains don’t fall in love?

Wrong! Villains are all blackened love-brains!

Idol dramas cannot be without love!

...

The male fifth’s scenes were not many, and Xiao He finished filming them within two days of staying with the crew.

Although the male and female leads of this drama were also terrified by his appearance, carrying a chainsaw and killing people, at least no one called the Police Officer to arrest Xiao He anymore.

Otherwise, Xiao He would have really wanted to call the Police Officer himself.

At the end of the plot, the serial killer played by Xiao He wanted to lift the chainsaw and swing it at the female lead, but was shot and killed by the male lead.

Accompanied by the female lead’s scream and the gunshot in the forest, the serial killer slowly knelt before the female lead, his hand holding the chainsaw falling weakly, and the originally humming chainsaw, like his life, slowly ceased its sound.

The female lead’s face was covered in tears, looking up at the serial killer in front of her, her pupils still holding un-faded fear, while the serial killer merely pulled at the corner of his mouth mockingly, his gaze ironically looking at the female lead in front of him, his eyes still holding deep regret—

Ah, what a beautiful work.

What a pity... no chance to see it again.

The serial killer’s mouth moved, but he said nothing, blood continuously gushing from his chest, instantly soaking his dust-covered white coat. The young man’s head drooped slightly, and even the gold-rimmed glasses he wore on his face had not fallen off. He seemed to have merely fallen asleep, quietly kneeling there.

The wind in the forest gently blew, leaving nothing behind, only the female lead’s suppressed sobs and the male lead’s low comforting words...

-

After confirming Xiao He’s death—Pooh, after wrapping up the filming, everyone in the crew breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Especially the male lead, Zhao Shuyu, whose face was filled with joy.

There was no other way! Xiao He was truly too brutal, handsome yet acting so wickedly. When he, as the male lead, acted confrontational scenes with the other party, the contrast was truly stark—

A dignified captain of the criminal investigation team, trembling when speaking to a criminal, his gaze darting back and forth, his aura weaker than the criminal’s. Zhao Shuyu truly felt dizzy when watching the playback afterwards.

Fortunately, the shots were filmed separately, and the sound was dubbed later, otherwise, his trembling voice being broadcast would truly be a laughingstock.

So now, Zhao Shuyu was the one most eagerly hoping Xiao He would leave quickly.

Xiao He naturally didn’t know what others were thinking. He was very happy looking at the ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ ten extra points in his system.

Including what he earned from being an extra earlier, he now had a total of twenty points!

Without bothering with others, Xiao He opened his system panel.

His panel was very simple, with only a lottery interface, looking very shabby. Xiao He suspected that even if it were given to a college student, it wouldn’t be at this level.

The lottery interface had three levels of lottery sections: one hundred points, ten thousand points, and one million points.

Looking at the point requirements on the lottery buttons, and then at the twenty points he had painstakingly accumulated, Xiao He sighed deeply, his earlier joy completely gone.

Damn it, he had worked so hard for so long, and his points weren’t even half of what was needed for a single draw. Who else was this miserable?

Is this a golden finger? No! This is a worker system!

“System, let’s make a deal. How about you give me a beginner’s ten-pull? Other games at least have beginner’s gift packs. As a system, you can’t be too stingy, otherwise, I, as a criminal, won’t even have starting capital. If I get caught then, wouldn’t it affect your subsequent work?”

Xiao He planned to struggle a bit more.

However, his words did not receive a reply from the system.

Xiao He shrugged.

If he could, he really wanted to give this thing a bad review!

Garbage dog system! Bah!

Just as Xiao He was about to give up, the lottery button in front of him actually lit up!

Xiao He’s heart filled with joy, and he quickly opened it to check, finding that a “Newbie Draw” had appeared before the “Draw once for one hundred points” button. He could draw once for ten points! But there was a time limit, only valid within one minute.

—Which meant he could draw twice!

Xiao He’s expression instantly changed, and he frantically praised the System Lord in his heart, then pressed the button without hesitation.

“Come on! Golden legend!”

However, when the button was pressed, the system interface didn’t show the magnificent special effects he imagined, but directly popped up a few lines of text—
