Endless Food Bucket Group

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Zhang Guangmu get his bento and turn into a Golden Little Lightball, Director Qian let out a hysterical laugh. His round body trembled, looking like a madman: "Everyone says, 'He who carries firewood for the masses should not be allowed to freeze in the wind and snow!'"

"But, what if the latter half is a prerequisite that must be met? Is the firewood bearer willing to sacrifice himself?"

"If he is willing, then he is no longer a firewood bearer, but a Saint! At least, a Saint in that instant! And an eternal Saint in my heart!"

"From mortal to Saint, only one step is needed!"

"It's the Gap of that one step!"

"One person's Self-Sacrifice, completely ending the desperate hunger apocalypse!"

"From the very beginning, I knew that once this scene appeared, our film would definitely get a high score!"

"I declare, Zhang Guangmu is my Qian Yiyuan's eternal god! I absolutely love him! Hahahaha!"

After a burst of mad laughter, Director Qian suddenly snapped back to reality: "Quick, quick, quick! Everyone move! Lock this world! End the film immediately!"

"The reactions of the other actors are not important! How wonderful the new world brought about by the Saint's Self-Sacrifice is, is also not important!"

"What's important is to not give the Audience a chance to vent their emotions! Don't let them discuss and reflect here!"

"The most important thing is to keep all their emotions and shock intact!"

"The finished product of the Film 'Endless Food Bag' is of higher quality than expected. I can guarantee that every Audience member who sees the final scene will become our organic promoter and actively help us with publicity!"

"As long as they discuss it outside, it will boost our Popularity!"

As his voice fell, the staff of the Production Team quickly sprang into action.

The Film ended...

The World froze...

Mental link severed...

Subconscious awakening...

Awakening complete!

"Welcome back to the Real World!"

"Respected two-star Subconscious Actor Li Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hard work!"

"Your diligent work has greatly enriched the spiritual and cultural life of the Empire citizens!"

"Your every effort has been remembered by the Empire!"

"May you achieve even greater glory!"

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly opened his eyes, memories from the "Endless Food Bag" flooding back one by one.

Just thinking about the ending of this film filled him with complex emotions, unsure how to express them.

Zhang Guangmu...

That guy should be called the same name in the Real World.

Actively sacrificing himself for the entire world...

Although Li Xiaoxiao had long known that the Subconscious Sequence of a [Saint] was traceable, he never imagined he would encounter one himself one day.

To act alongside such a great Actor was truly an honor!

Li Xiaoxiao took several deep breaths before he could barely calm the emotion and surging thoughts within him.

He reached out and lightly pressed the square, Sky Blue safety button.

Hiss...

A puff of white smoke was released from the Infiltration Pod.

As soon as Li Xiaoxiao climbed out of the Infiltration Pod, he was startled by a pale face, breaking out in a Cold Sweat. He instinctively flinched back, adopting a defensive stance.

"You're awake! The surgery was a success! You're a girl now!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao froze. He subconsciously lowered his head, suddenly snapping back to reality, and punched the other person's shoulder with annoyance, "Zhang Guangmu, get lost!"

After these words blurted out, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that he and the person in front of him were not familiar with each other at all.

After all, the scenes in "Endless Food Bag" were just scenes. Relationships were all fake. In the Real World, he and Zhang Guangmu were people from two different worlds.

"Bro, with such a short temper, it'll be hard to find a girlfriend... Never mind... You take your time to recover, I'll be the one to get lost first."

After saying this, Zhang Guangmu rubbed his shoulder and turned to make a quick escape.

Thump thump thump.

After a few steps, Zhang Guangmu suddenly turned his head, "Almost forgot the main business!"

"I've created an [Endless Food Bucket Group]. Boss Zhao, Director Qian, Chu Fan, and the others are all in it. Remember to join later! Let's all hang out together!"

Li Xiaoxiao's heart stirred slightly.

Although the entire filming process wasn't exactly pleasant, from a professional standpoint, the film "Endless Food Bag" could indeed be considered a masterpiece. Apart from the Underperforming Chu Fan, everyone else's performance was quite good.

Especially Zhang Guangmu, a nobody small supporting role, was forcefully turned into the true protagonist of the plot by him.

With this thought, Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head and entered the keywords provided by Zhang Guangmu into her portable personal terminal, applying to join the [Endless Food Bucket Group].

The application was approved at lightning speed!

However...

In the member list, there were clearly only two pitiful individuals!

At this moment, Zhang Guangmu's serious voice came from not far away: "Boss Zhao, do you want to join the group? Li Xiaoxiao, Director Qian, Chu Fan, and the others are all in it!"

Then Li Xiaoxiao heard Director Qian's joking voice: "Endless Food Bucket Group? What are you implying, you little brat? I'll get you blacklisted!"

Looking at Zhang Guangmu's demeanor, Li Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched slightly, and she roared in her heart.

Give me back my feeling of being moved!

This scoundrel!

After successfully tricking Boss Zhao, Li Xiaoxiao, Chu Fan, Director Qian, and others into the small group he had just created, Zhang Guangmu left the filming base with great satisfaction.

In the final scene of the "Endless Food Bag" this time, he had originally planned to say some divine pronouncements and gain some prestige, but as the words reached his lips, Zhang Guangmu couldn't help but think of the ancestors before his transmigration who strived to ensure everyone had enough to eat. Thus, the simple phrase "to eat until full" blurted out.

As it turned out, it was a lucky shot, and the effect was good.

Whether it was the audience, the director, or the actors, they all seemed to appreciate this approach.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people!

Simple and unadorned words may not be without power!

Leaving the filming base, Zhang Guangmu felt as if he had entered a new world.

Behind him were skyscrapers with silver, gray, and blue color schemes, full of sci-fi elements.

Before him were various small wooden houses, densely packed, with a pastoral style.

The Xuanlong Empire was like this; although its national strength was strong, it was not developed in all aspects, and in some areas, it even lagged behind the 21st century.

In this unified nation, advanced and backward elements existed in a delicate balance.

Black technology buildings and ancient structures coexisted, forming a peculiar harmony.

"The first step of my career is going well!"

Zhang Guangmu sighed, raised his left hand, and his gaze fell on the personal terminal on his wrist, which resembled a black jade bracelet.

A light screen immediately appeared before his eyes.

"Your current available balance is: 100 Dragon Shields."

Zhang Guangmu was very satisfied.

He had worked all sorts of odd jobs before, like harvesting honey, poling boats, brewing wine, selling snacks, and helping people raise horses. In a month, he could earn at most 80 yuan. When business was bad, his income usually fluctuated around 50 yuan, far from the Empire's average monthly salary of 101 Dragon Shields per citizen.

Although the Xuanlong Empire had excellent welfare, providing free housing, nutrient paste, and water resources for all citizens, which didn't cost any money, Zhang Guangmu had to support his cat!

His feline master at home was quite sensible and not a big spender, but he still needed to buy basic cat food.

Moreover, in this life, one should enjoy good food and experience the beauty of life, right?

Otherwise, how unbearable would it be when he got sick!

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangmu suddenly snapped back to reality: he still needed to get treated!

The scientific name for Radiation Sickness is XKS-01 Genetic Disease, which can be shortened to Genetic Disease. It was completely cured ten years ago, but due to various factors, it couldn't be popularized in a short period. The surgery fee was a bit expensive, requiring fifty thousand Dragon Shields.

Therefore, for Zhang Guangmu, earning money was also a very important matter!

Before, to get a minor role, he had run all over the place. In less than a year, he had traveled almost all over the globe and spent all the money he had painstakingly saved.

Now...

Seeing the hundred Dragon Shields suddenly appear in his previously empty account, Zhang Guangmu's joy was almost overflowing.

This was what they called a windfall!

"In the 'Endless Food Bag' this time, my personal evaluation was 'Excellent'!"

Zhang Guangmu looked at the small white star on the black jade bracelet, his thoughts racing: "I directly received the top salary for a Dragon-Tier Subconscious Actor, and I've also been promoted to [one-star Subconscious Actor]. My future salary will be at least one hundred yuan!"

"This means that even if I don't get promoted, I'll only need to act in five hundred films to save enough money for the surgery!"

The word "only" was used perfectly, mainly because he successfully fooled himself and maintained a relaxed and happy state of mind.

"Five hundred performances..."

Zhang Guangmu excitedly threw a punch in the air, his heart surging with emotion, his thoughts in a whirlwind: "This is the worst-case scenario. As my experience accumulates, my reputation grows, and my rating improves, my salary will definitely keep increasing!"

"My brother Li Xiaoxiao is already a two-star Subconscious Actor. With the 'Book of Acting', my achievements won't be worse than his."

The income of high-star Subconscious Actors was far less than that of traffic stars in the 21st century. However, in the Xuanlong Empire, they enjoyed many incomprehensible privileges.

Anyway, Zhang Guangmu had never heard of any powerful Subconscious Actors being oppressed, exploited, or subjected to casting couch scandals.

Official public opinion also seemed to encourage Empire citizens to engage in Subconscious Films.

Zhang Guangmu couldn't figure out the reason for this for the time being.

After all, he was still an unknown nobody, and the competition in this industry was too fierce.

It was known that after meeting the age requirements, he had spent nearly a year before finally receiving a minor role in "Endless Food Bag".

The good news was that he had seized the opportunity this time, and his penniless situation would soon disappear without a trace!

Hmm?

It was time to go home.

No matter how tight his finances were, he still had to take a taxi home. It was over a thousand kilometers, and walking would take ages!

"Take out one yuan."

As soon as Zhang Guangmu finished speaking, a small shield-shaped blue coin dropped from his personal terminal, engraved with a majestic black dragon pattern.

The personal terminal had a storage space-like ability, but unfortunately, this ability was limited to storing money.

The Dragon Shield had good purchasing power; a thousand-kilometer trip on a Magnetic Levitation Flying Car only cost one Dragon Shield.

Right, before leaving, he had to buy some local specialties and cat food.

Heh heh...

Just as Zhang Guangmu was about to buy cat food, a rough and hearty voice suddenly came from behind him: "Don't be in a hurry to leave."

"I'm very curious..."

"You don't look like someone who wouldn't live past twenty-five at all."
