Deduct It from My Salary!

The strong broadcast of "Extraordinary Idol Trainee" unexpectedly became a hot topic on China Internet this winter.

Out of goodwill towards the extraordinary individuals, too much attention is being paid to this reality show.

Despite only one episode airing, its popularity and viewership have already soared to an incredible level.

This has made other local TV stations envious of H City's exclusive authorization from Thousand Rays Society, since it is the first and only program to introduce professionals.

Because the participants in the talent show are all highly qualified professionals, they are naturally more likely to gain public favor.

Their willingness to showcase their strength in public has made them popular figures.

Yes, the first batch of trainees from the "Super Trainees" program all became famous, but the degree of fame varied.

Xu Nan is the most popular one among them.

He checked the data after logging in and found that in the first round of the competition, his votes were in a strong lead, to the point that he could wipe out the total votes of the top ten by himself.

Information about Xu Nan began to be exposed wildly, but what made Xu Nan somewhat relieved was that Thousand Rays Society still strictly controlled the information security of its professionals.

Most of the photos and information that have been released so far are from before Xu Nan became a professional.

Even so, it greatly satisfied the public's goodwill towards professionals.

The Thousand Rays Society has achieved its goals to a certain extent, and many people have begun to acknowledge the existence of superhumans and regard them as human beings just like themselves.

This is the power of idols.

Although Xu Nan didn't care much, it was crucial for Thousand Rays Society.

"This director's attempt to curry favor is way too obvious, isn't it? He actually gave me so much screen time in the first episode."

Xu Nan himself was shocked. He didn't realize it during filming, but he discovered a very startling fact during editing:

I really am handsome!

With the addition of post-production editing, the originally mediocre performance segments were covered up, and Xu Nan's spellcasting segment appeared even more mysterious and unpredictable with the help of special effects—even though he only conjured a fireball, he was regarded by many female fans as the man with the most mage-like temperament.

Some people even deduced from Xu Nan's amazing hand speed in making fireballs that he is still single.

Online, many people say that Xu Nan is their husband.

During Xu Nan's trip to Stephenson, the production team tried to contact Xu Nan multiple times without success; Xu Nan could roughly guess their purpose, which was basically to reserve the slot for the next episode.

Generally, reality shows like this are filmed in one episode and then broadcast in multiple episodes. However, Extraordinary Idol Trainee is a bit special. Due to its special nature, Thousand Rays Society had to take many precautions during filming. In addition, the professionals are also very busy, so they temporarily chose to film in stages.

But now, they clearly regret it; they underestimated the popularity and influence of this reality show.

Xu Nan checked the schedule and found that if she wanted to continue participating, she would have to waste at least two or three weeks of her time.

He glanced at the project rankings of Six-Nine Plan and then happily decided to cancel his appointment with the program team.

Of course, Xu Nan knew their predicament, so he took a picture: in the photo, both of Xu Nan's hands were in casts, making it difficult for him to move around, but his smile was still bright.

He sent the photos to the production team and then announced that he was quitting!

After all, his goal wasn't to become an idol; he was just trying to break up the fight!

Now that he has secured first place in the Six-Nine Plan, all other warlocks are mere novices compared to his vast harem, and there is no need to waste any more time on this matter.

As for how to explain it specifically, that's for the production team to figure out.

After all, you start with a picture, and the rest is all made up!

After finishing these tasks, Xu Nan returned to the underground city to prepare for the Second Dungeon Residents' Assembly!

He didn't care how much his departure would affect the entire program. With Old Hai's warning, he was now very clear that if he didn't leave, he might really be forced by Zhang Jian to become the spokesperson for Thousand Rays Society.

These kinds of things are usually thankless and exhausting, and he has a lot of important things to do, so he doesn't have time to help Zhang Jian with public relations.

Unless they give us a raise.

Hmm, I might consider giving it a raise.

The underground city's spacious City Lord's Hall, after being renovated by the dwarves, appeared even more magnificent and grand.

At least initially, everyone was sitting in higher-end Gaming Chair.

Xu Nan himself even chose a chair resembling the Iron Throne to display the majesty of the city lord.

This underground city residents' meeting was actually Xu Nan's way of soliciting opinions from all parties and identifying certain areas to determine as the main direction for the development of the underground city.

After all, with the Farming Garden and Hybrid Rice, Xu Nan no longer needed to let his city develop from a long agricultural society.

The diverse talents from all over the multiverse allow him to directly participate in the construction of industrial society.

However, the specific area he should develop in is still debatable. After all, this underground city could be his base camp, and it would be his greatest support in the long struggle against the Pro World in the future.

This year's conference was much more lively, with representatives from the Minotaur, dwarves, and humans participating, in addition to Xu Nan's friends.

Xu Nan also values the opinions of these new residents.

"Before we begin, let me share some general plans with you..."

"We don't need to start with such serious and heavy topics. Let's all relax and chat for a bit..."

"I'll be going to Stephenson soon, and I can help you if you need anything."

Xu Nan had no idea how much trouble his words would cause!

This directly led to the failure of the second underground city residents' meeting!

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Stephenson's name, and even the dwarf demon representative was eager to try!

Don't get me wrong, they're not the ones who went to Stephenson Xu Nan. After all, in this great era of interdimensional fusion, who doesn't have some secrets?

There are many secrets about City Lord Xu, as everyone knows.

What they care about is Stephenson's reputation!

"I've heard that Stephenson has a lot of amazing underwear. I'm still developing, and earthly clothes are no longer suitable for my body..."

City Management Captain Qin Lele preemptively said, "Please, Lord City Lord, help me buy a few boxes!"

Xu Nan couldn't help but sneer and roll her eyes, "Buy several boxes of underwear? Are you sure the boxes are this big?"

He gestured with his hand, indicating that it was about the size of a suitcase.

Qin Lele shook her head shyly. "Of course not."

Xu Nan thought to himself, "At least you have some sense of self-awareness."

Qin Lele then pointed to a container and said, "Mine is a shipping container."

Xu Nan felt like vomiting blood.

At that moment, someone poked their waist with a hairy hand. When they turned around, it was Ah Tang.

"Why did you turn into a panda?" Xu Nan asked, puzzled. Ever since he mastered the human Transformation Technique, this guy almost never appeared in the form of a panda.

Tom scratched his head sheepishly. "I'm making a shopping list. I heard Stephenson has a lot of good food. Can you buy some for me?"

Xu Nan looked down and saw that Sister Tom had written a whole A4 page listing Stephenson's famous dishes and their portions.

He glanced at it and felt somewhat relieved. Although Ah Tang had written a lot, the quantity was decent, all being one copy.

"One copy of each kind? That's too much trouble!" Although Xu Nan was extremely reluctant, she still silently put away the papers.

After all, it's my own magical pet, so it's only right to feed it occasionally.

Tom, hands on his hips, retorted confidently, "What are you thinking? How could it be just one serving?"

"Of course, give me a big handful of each!"

She opened her palm, and it was a huge slap. Xu Nan glanced at it and knew how big it was.

Now he finally understood why she had transformed into a panda.

Because of their panda-like appearance, they are tough and resilient!

Xu Nan chased away Ah Tang, who was clearly trying to cause trouble, with a flurry of wild punches.

As a result, the remaining people also expressed their strong desire to shop.

The meeting suddenly became chaotic. No one cared about the official agenda anymore. Everyone was looking for something good that Stephenson had and asking Xu Nan to buy it for them.

Without any warning, City Lord Xu suddenly became a purchasing agent!

Before he could even react, his pockets were already piled high with shopping lists, enough to fill an entire A4 sheet of paper and rival a tall English textbook.

Xu Nan glanced at the group of people discussing the Heat, a plan formed in his mind, and a cold smile crept onto his lips:

"Sure, I can buy the things for you!"

"But what about the money?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

After all, talking about money always hurts feelings, no matter what the situation is!

Xu Nan felt smug. What could these poor bastards possibly offer him to buy things for them?

In the end, Qin Lele was the one who dared to take the lead. She raised her hand high and stood up after Xu Nan nodded in agreement:

"You can deduct it from my salary!"

Now it was Xu Nan's turn to fall silent.

It seems like he hasn't paid everyone's wages for a long time... I can forgive all the jokes before, but now that the dungeon is getting on track, it seems like it really is time to pay wages.

Before he could even think it through, a bunch of scoundrels started using similar excuses to brush him off.

The most outrageous one was Lü Junyi. This guy asked Xu Nan to buy sex toys and aphrodisiacs from Stephenson, and after it was all over, he said, "Brother, I don't need your salary... so, I'll buy them on credit first."

Xu Nan wished he could dig out the hearts of these people and see just how dark they really were!

And so, the second Underground City Residents' Meeting passed by in this noisy atmosphere.

Xu Nan was very frustrated. In the end, only Jiang Yuanchi senior who had been specially invited, chose to actually pay for the purchase.

"I have a property in Stephenson that generates annual rent. Here is the shop address. You can go there with my token and you should be able to collect some money."

"I don't need too much stuff, just buy me a few Facial Mask."

Compared to people like Qin Lele, Senior Jiang is incredibly considerate and gentle.

But the shop address she provided looks increasingly familiar.

...!
