A Billionaire Like Me, and You Want Me to Entertain?
"Finally, I've reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm."
On the back mountain, Gu Yuan, who had been watching the many cultivators, stretched out an imaginary yawn and sensed the energy within his body.
I wonder what those disciples in the Cangyuan World are doing; the energy they're providing is increasing so slowly.
If it weren't for the fact that we can only see from the perspective of Azure Origin Patriarch and hear his thoughts, and we don't have any extra energy to go back, we would definitely guide them properly.
How boring.
When will I finally have a real body and be able to travel around?
Drifting around like this every day, Gu Yuan felt like he was about to become depressed.
Acting Cultivation in the Modern Continent.
In a bustling office building, people come and go.
They were dressed in uniforms, holding various documents in their hands, and wearing a small badge on their chests that read "Eternal Group".
If you just mention the Eternal Group, some people might not know what it is, but if you mention the forces behind the Cultivation World Show, they'll probably suddenly realize who it is.
That's right.
The so-called "Cultivation World Show" is their doing.
From the initial planning to the selection of the main characters, everything went through their hands.
Inside an office.
A young man dressed casually is reclining in a chair, with a live stream of Cultivation World Show story playing on his computer.
"System, why do I need one million fan points to exchange for Cultivation Practice Method? This pricing is completely unreasonable."
The young man was watching the live stream while talking to himself.
System?
If Gu Yuan were here right now, he would probably be very surprised.
[Ding! Fan value is calculated not only based on viewership but also directly proportional to program revenue, so please keep up the good work!]
The system's cold voice sounded, seemingly trying to add some tone, but it sounded even stranger.
Is it proportional?
I have no idea how much kickback you took.
The young man muttered a complaint to himself, feeling somewhat helpless.
Actually, when I first bound myself to this system, it only said that it was an Entertainment System.
The more fan points you earn, the more items you can redeem.
They have everything they could want: cars, houses, status.
An ordinary person would probably have agreed, but he's different. He's just an ordinary rich second-generation who lost both his parents and controls a group worth hundreds of billions.
With someone of that status and position, would they care about this?
Who would go out and do entertainment with you for no reason?
Isn't that just plain stupid?
I have nothing of my own, yet I need you to give me everything.
Therefore, he decisively rejected the system task.
He happily continued to live his life as a rich second-generation.
However, the system remained silent for several days after that rejection.
One night, the system, which had been "dead" for a long time, suddenly spoke up and told Ding Qi that he could use his fan points to exchange for Cultivation Practice Method!
You can redeem it as long as you have enough fan points!
Cultivation Practice Method?
Is it the kind of Cultivation Practice Method that allows one to fly on a sword and achieve immortality?
At that moment, Ding Qi's attitude, which had previously rejected entertainment, underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
Such a good thing?
To be honest, he doesn't care about cultivation or anything like that; he mainly enjoys playing with entertainment.
But his approach to entertainment is definitely different from others.
After all, his net worth is in the hundreds of billions.
Making a name for oneself through songwriting, novel writing—all of that is too low-level.
Let's go straight into making variety shows!
We need something with global coverage; let's throw money at it!
He's pouring money into it, needing to acquire more fan points in the shortest amount of time to redeem items.
In this world, money can buy anything.
Even someone as wealthy as Ding Qi could commit murder without facing any consequences.
So what kind of variety shows will you produce?
After careful consideration, Ding Qi consulted a lot of materials and asked many people in the industry.
Ultimately, they decided to produce a variety show Cultivation World Show.
To have a significant impact, you need to attract a large audience.
First and foremost, it must be authentic and immersive.
The main character must genuinely believe they've traveled through time, so appropriate casting and a believable time travel scenario are necessary.
Ding Qi consulted many experts and, after rigorously studying the feasibility, finally formulated a plan.
If a plan is available, it should be implemented.
With the support of enormous power and funds.
From directing and casting to creating a realistic cultivation world, everything is ready.
A huge island has been completely transformed.
Tens of thousands of extras are already in place.
Thus, the variety show Cultivation World Show was officially born.
Global release!
Ding Qi's initial idea for this program was simply to exploit viewers.
Gain a large amount of attention and increase your fan base.
As the program aired, more and more companies supported the project, and many advertisers expressed their intention to invest.
It's strange, this way you can make money and gain fan points at the same time, and the revenue is also linked to the fan points.
Several months have passed.
The fan value has finally broken through the key threshold; only one million more is needed to redeem the so-called Cultivation Practice Method.
However, he couldn't wait.
The earlier you start cultivating, the better.
"Can't you be a little more accommodating?"
Ding Qi was still somewhat unwilling to give up and continued to ask the system questions.
This time, however, the system completely ignored him.
"If this Cultivation World Show were real, I wouldn't need to spend so much time earning fan points."
Watching the live stream, Ding Qi felt a pang of emotion.
He genuinely wanted to cultivate.
And he wanted to show off.
Imagine what it will be like when you have achieved mastery of your cultivation.
The Cultivation World Show has wrapped up. The protagonist in the show discovers the falsehood of the world and his Dao heart collapses. A group of viewers blatantly mock that there are no cultivators in the world.
As a result, he rode his flying sword across the ocean and flew directly there, giving them a resounding slap in the face.
It was absolutely awesome!
However, to truly realize such a wish, the first step is to obtain Cultivation Practice Method.
After mentally complaining about the system again, Ding Qi continued watching the live stream with satisfaction.
I didn't watch it for long.
"Mr. Ding, several large corporations are planning to advertise, and some technology companies want our variety show to utilize their technology."
At the office door, a young woman in business attire knocked, then entered and spoke.
It's all contracts.
I've signed quite a few these past few days.
The Cultivation World Show is incredibly popular.
People with connections or no connections all want to cooperate.
Ding Qi took out a pen, glanced at it a few times, and signed his name.
"You can make the arrangements. Just remember to have the director create something the audience will like."
"The plot needs to be interesting. Don't leave these main characters idle; they still want to cultivate, it's a waste of time."
Ding Qi waved his hand and continued to give instructions to the young woman.
Only when the audience enjoys watching will the fan value increase, and the probability of obtaining Cultivation Practice Method will also increase.
"Yes, Mr. Ding."
The young woman left the office and closed the door.
"System, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
For some reason, Ding Qi suddenly blurted out a sentence, and even he didn't know why he said it.
There was a moment of silence.
The system voice sounded, "Rest assured, host, the Cultivation Practice Method is absolutely real."
