Transmigrated Again?

In an ordinary apartment, a slender, beautiful young man lay on the bed, his eyes tightly shut and his brows deeply furrowed, as though he were having a nightmare.

About a minute later, he abruptly opened his eyes and sat up. A trace of confusion showed in his eyes before they turned cold and sharp. He seemed to think for a moment, then surveyed the room and murmured to himself:

"Have I... transmigrated again?"

Su Li looked thoughtful. After sorting through all of this body's memories, he discovered that this was not Earth, but a place called Blue Star. He had transmigrated into the body of an obscure minor celebrity.

Indeed, this was Su Li's second transmigration. In his first life, he had been an ordinary corporate drone on Earth. An accident had sent him to the Rod Continent, a world with a setting resembling medieval Europe, but where the power of wizards reigned supreme.

In his previous life, he had transmigrated into an ordinary person. After witnessing the social conditions of the Rod Continent, Su Li's discontent and ambition had grown ever stronger. Through a chance opportunity, he had awakened wizard powers and become a wizard apprentice, then secretly studied black witchcraft as well.

Su Li had gradually become the Crimson Wizard, feared by everyone on the Rod Continent. During a witchcraft experiment, he had accidentally transmigrated here.

"Yuan, are you there?" "I am, Master," replied a mechanical voice that was recognizably male.

Hearing that familiar voice, Su Li could not help relaxing. This was the special advantage he had possessed in his previous life: a chip in his mind. Yuan's help had been indispensable to his becoming a wizard. Yuan had accompanied Su Li on the Rod Continent for over a hundred years. He had not expected him to come along on this transmigration too.

After gathering his thoughts, Su Li walked over to a full-length mirror to examine his current appearance. The youth in the mirror had fair skin, a high nose bridge, foxlike eyes with slightly upturned corners, and pale red, thin lips. With a different soul inside, this body had an even more striking presence.

"Not bad." Su Li's lips curved into a smile. The person in the mirror had long, narrow, foxlike eyes, and the smile made him look even more bewitching.

The body's original owner had also been called Su Li. His outstanding looks had helped him make his debut quickly, but he had little actual ability. His acting was poor, and his personality was dull and weak, so he had little appeal to the general public. He could safely be called a complete nobody in the industry.

Su Li did not care about that. As the Crimson Wizard, he had many ways to succeed.

"Yuan, check my physical condition."

"Master, your body is currently in good condition. Your rank is only that of a first-level wizard, but your mental power is unchanged."

"I can sense my rank. Is my mental power unchanged because of my soul?"

"Yes, Master. I recommend that you practice your meditation method for the time being to stabilize your soul. There is no rush to advance your rank. I have not detected the presence of any powerful energy in this world so far." Yuan's mechanical voice sounded somewhat lighthearted.

"Yuan, you seem a little happy?"

Su Li had noticed Yuan's emotions. He knew Yuan was not merely a cold system, but had feelings and consciousness of his own. Although he did not know why a chip would have such emotions, they had spent over a hundred years together on the Rod Continent. It could be said that Yuan had accompanied him through every hardship. Yuan was the only one Su Li trusted.

"Because I wasn't separated from you, Master," Yuan said.

"I'm glad you're still here too. It'll make doing certain things in this world much more convenient."

"Thank you for the praise, Master. Yuan will follow you forever." The mechanical voice sounded distinctly happier.

Before the man and the chip could finish their conversation, Su Li's phone rang.

He picked it up. The caller was saved as "Sister Zhou." Only after recalling his memories did Su Li realize that she was the original owner's manager, Zhou Jing. She had treated the original owner reasonably well and had put considerable effort into securing work for him.

When he answered, an excited female voice came through the phone. "Su Li, Su Li, good news! I landed you a major variety show!"

"What variety show?" Su Li's tone was lazier and colder than the original owner's, but Zhou Jing assumed he was feeling down because work had not been going well lately.

"The third episode of 'Brave Challenge'!! You know how popular the first two episodes were. The production team approached us themselves this time. Your looks stood out to them, so they want you as a guest for this episode. The pay isn't high, but this is a phenomenal hit of a variety show! If you perform well, you're bound to win fans!"

"'Brave Challenge'?"

"Yes!" Caught up in her excitement, Zhou Jing did not notice that Su Li's tone had not changed at all. She simply continued, "This show is a fantastic opportunity for you. Get yourself into good shape over the next few days. You'll go to the production team for filming in a week."

"All right."

Su Li put down his phone and said to Yuan, "Look up this 'Brave Challenge.'"

"Master, I have found that 'Brave Challenge' is a phenomenally popular variety show on Blue Star, directed by Wang Xiang. The show involves solving puzzles and clearing challenges, with supernatural elements. Each episode has six guests, who must work in pairs to clear the challenges."

After hearing this, Su Li gave a mocking smile. "They probably want someone with my looks to make a fool of himself there to boost the ratings, while providing a contrast to those big stars. The same old tricks still work here. Tsk, not an ounce of originality."

"That is because they are weak and ignorant. How could they deserve to be compared with you, Master? In that case, will you still go on this show?"

"Yes. Why wouldn't I? I'll just have some fun. I only hope those people behave themselves. Otherwise, even I don't know what the show might turn into. Wouldn't you agree, my Yuan?"

Su Li's smile grew even more unrestrained. Paired with that face, he looked every bit a soul-stealing enchantress.

"Yes, my master."

Su Li tidied himself up and prepared to go out. After all, he had not experienced modern life for over a hundred years. On the Rod Continent, he had focused solely on advancing his rank and had had no time to think about anything else. Now that he had transmigrated to Blue Star, he was certainly going to relax properly.

He lived in an ordinary residential complex. He casually hailed a cab and headed to the nearest street food market.

After buying a cup of bubble tea, Su Li savored the long-missed sweetness in his mouth, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

"Master, do you like this thing called milk tea very much?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"Yes. I loved it in my first life. I could actually have made it on the Rod Continent too, but I wasn't in the mood. Now I can finally enjoy it properly."

"All right, Master. I understand."

Understand what? Su Li was just about to ask when he saw several girls walking toward him. The girl in front had slightly flushed cheeks and spoke nervously. "Hi, handsome. Could... could I add you on WeChat?"

What caught Su Li's attention at that moment was not the girls' expressions, but a peculiar pale pink gas emanating from around their bodies and slowly drifting toward him.

Su Li narrowed his eyes, as though something had occurred to him. Then his lips curved into a smile, and he said gently to the girl, "Of course."

Looking at Su Li's smile, the girls blushed even harder. They stared fixedly at his face as the gas around their bodies deepened in color and surged toward him faster.

After the girls left, Yuan's voice suddenly rang out. "Master, I have detected the energy of the Eye of Emotion appearing within you."

Holding his milk tea, Su Li strolled leisurely toward a takoyaki stall. "No rush. Let's enjoy the food first."
