She tried hard not to let the corners of her mouth turn up, but laughter is something she can't control, so they still turned up high, and her eyes and brows were full of a bright smile, making her look exceptionally lively and radiant.

She leaned closer to He Mingzhang and asked, "Do you really think I've improved a lot?"

He Mingzhang nodded firmly, "Very large, he's practically a different person from before."

"... Thank you." Ye Mo thanked him, "With your words, I'm even more interested in the rest of the filming."

Only she herself knew best how much effort she had put in to improve her acting skills. However, Ye Mo knew very well that she was able to achieve this level entirely by cheating, relying on the " Role Immersion Room " as a cheat code.

Ye Mo was eager to improve her acting skills because she knew very well that she couldn't rely on the " Role Immersion Room " to cheat forever. 888 would eventually leave, and if she relied too much on the " Role Immersion Room," it would be a devastating blow to her when 888 broke free of the bond and left this world.

Therefore, she had to stop relying too much on "role immersion".

[Sooner or later, even without the " Role Immersion Room," I will be able to perfectly portray each of my roles...] Ye Mo secretly resolved in his heart.

but...

[888, you said before that once you collect a certain Gossip Points," you would break free from our bond and leave this world. So how many Gossip Points do you need to collect?] Ye Mo suddenly remembered this question.

888: [I need a billion.]

[...] Ye Mo's voice was very calm, [So, how much of Gossip Points do we have now?]

888: [...13,000.]

Ye Mo: [...]6.

Suddenly, Ye Mo felt like a joke that he was so eager to improve his acting skills. As things stand now, with each of them only getting a few hundred "Gossip Points " each time they participate in gossip, Ye Mo felt that he might not be able to reach the goal of ten billion Gossip Points even if he devoted his entire life to it.

However, Ye Mo still hoped that she wouldn't rely too much on the " Role Immersion Room," because she only believed in one thing—"What he has is not as good as what I have." Only the skills she had truly learned were truly hers.

***

After talking things out with He Mingzhang, Ye Mo wasn't as embarrassed when she saw him again.

Because Director Zheng drank too much yesterday, he wasn't in good condition today, so Ye Mo and the others finished work very early, around 4 pm.

After finishing work, Ye Mo removed her makeup and changed out of her costume when Ning Aiqi came running over.

"... The crew is going to find Li Kui's online girlfriend, do you want to go?" she asked softly.

Ye Mo was surprised. "Everyone acted so quickly?" He only found out about this last night, and only had the idea of seeking justice for Li Kui at noon today, and they started taking action this afternoon.

Ning Aiqi explained, "We're taking advantage of the early wrap-up today, because the filming schedule is too tight later, and we might not have this much time. So we need to get this sorted out while everyone has time... So, what do you say, do you want to go?"

"I'll go!" Ye Mo without hesitation. "Of course I'll go!"

If she hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the "888 Gossip System" on her body!

Ning Aiqi grinned, "I knew you'd go!"

Ye Mo put on a hat and mask to disguise himself, and gathered with the rest of the crew at the entrance of the film set. Li Kui was among them; the dark-skinned and muscular man had red eyes and looked like a listless big dog.

"... Actually, you don't need to trouble yourselves," Li Kui said apologetically. "I can go by myself. This is too much of a waste of your time."

The person next to him patted him hard on the shoulder and said, "What did you say? As the saying goes, many hands make light work. If you go alone, and they see you're alone and think you're easy to bully, what if they don't return your things? It's different if we go together. With more people, even if they're bold, they won't dare not return them!"

In the end, the man even showed off his fist, which was bigger than his sandbag.

" Guangping is right." The others echoed, not feeling that this was a waste of their time at all—those who were standing here were basically good friends with Li Kui. He was strong and often helped the other crew members with their work, so he was very popular in the crew.

That's why everyone is offering to help him now that he's in trouble.

"... However, Niu Guangping, you should also be careful." Someone spoke up, saying to the young man who had just spoken, Niu Guangping, "I remember you also met a girlfriend online. Be careful, don't get scammed too."

Wow! It smells like melon.

Ye Mo's gaze instantly fell on the man named Niu Guangping.

Niu Guangping was a middle-aged man in his forties with a somewhat rugged appearance. Hearing his friend's words, he showed a dismissive expression and said confidently, "No way, I'm sure of it, Xiao Mei is definitely a woman!"

"How can you be so sure? Li Kui was certain his online girlfriend was a woman, but Miss Ye still figured it out she was a man!" someone said, scoffing.

Niu Guangping said, "I've video chatted with Xiaomei, and she has a daughter. I personally heard her daughter call her 'Mom.' How could you say that's wrong? Therefore, Xiaomei is definitely a woman!"

When others heard

It seems to make some sense.

"Just be careful yourself..." His friends sighed, lamenting, "With the internet so advanced these days, it's impossible to tell whether someone online is a person or a ghost, a man or a woman!"

Now even men dressing as women is happening.

There were eight of them, including Ye Mo and Ning Aiqi, but eight people were enough. However, no one expected that Ye Mo would also come to join in the fun.

"... This matter is also related to me in a way." Ye Mo felt his reasoning was quite sound and said with great righteous indignation, "Because I told Li Kui's fortune, he found out about this matter, so how can I stand idly by now?"

Others:... This reason sounds reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it seems problematic in many ways.

Before anyone could think it over, Ye Mo urged, "Alright, alright, let's hurry over before it gets dark!"

"... No, Ye Mo, are you really going to join in this fun?" Shen Yan couldn't help but grab Ye Mo, gritting his teeth as he said, "Do you even remember you're a public figure?"

Ye Mo replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm going..."

She knew what Shen Yan was worried about and said, "Don't worry, I've put on my hat and mask properly. The paparazzi won't recognize me, and they won't take any pictures of me."

Shen Yan:... No, I'm not at all at ease.

After much deliberation, he decided to go with Ye Mo to avoid any trouble later. Since Ye Mo was going, his two assistants, Hu Pingping and Zhou Xiaoyu, would also be going, which immediately increased their number from eight to eleven, and the "organization" gradually grew larger.

On their way to the parking lot, they ran into He Mingzhang, and the number of organizers increased by 1.

He Mingzhang offered Ye Mo his car, but Ye Mo, thinking of his very comfortable vehicle and then of his own, which, while comfortable, was still inferior to his own minivan, immediately swayed him. Without hesitation, he happily chose He Mingzhang's car.
