Chapter 81: The fist company wants to rub my name?
After the Spring Festival, Li Xiao finally gave up going to the library every day to report, and began traveling with no restrictions on time and place. In fact, it was a trip, but the bigger reason was to avoid the attention of everyone.
Although the original incident of picking up the mutated monster with bare hands on the plane, his identity was not directly exposed, but on the Spring Festival day, he fought against five gang members in the lively streets of Manhattan.
Especially the video of a roundhouse kick that killed a gunman on the spot. After it went viral on the Internet, his identity could no longer be concealed.
Soon there was news that this was the young man who killed the mutated monster with his bare hands on the plane more than two months ago. The person who broke the news claimed to be one of the passengers at the time.
Then someone broke the news that this young man should be a student at Harvard College, because many people confirmed that they had seen him in the Harvard library.
At a young age, he is both civilized and martial, and his anger makes him a beauty.
He definitely has the potential to become a youth super idol in the new era. He has surpassed all traffic stars for a while. In order to attract traffic, many gossip entertainment media have also followed the news and followed him around Harvard College every day.
Li Xiao really didn't expect this chain reaction. He really didn't want to be famous, so he could only choose to travel and try his best to go to inaccessible places for adventure and disappear from the public eye.
Now is an era of information explosion. No matter how popular it is, as long as there is no news for two or three months, the popularity will subside, and everything will return to normal by then.
Of course, it is also possible that it won't take long before you are pulled back by the mysterious space-time teleportation array, and then everything in this world will have nothing to do with you.
——
Time flies from winter to spring, and unknowingly two months have passed. What's a little surprising is that I still haven't been pulled back to the mysterious little world by the time and space teleportation array, and I haven't even felt the traction in the void.
However, after these few months of hard work, the money in the account has been spent, leaving only more than a thousand dollars.
Of course, those tens of thousands of dollars were not spent indiscriminately. Most of them were spent on the purchase of weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the amount of ammunition currently in reserve is a bit scary. The total number of bullets of various types has exceeded 30,000 rounds.
I have an indescribable obsession with things like firearms and bullets. Every time I arrive in a city, I always feel a little overwhelmed when I see a gun store. I have to buy at least a few boxes of bullets before I feel comfortable.
Of course, during the past two months of exploring some inaccessible mountains and deserts, I would encounter some ferocious beasts from time to time, but they were just brown bears, pumas, gray wolves and other animals, and I haven't found any strange monsters yet.
The only reward after such a long exploration was the discovery of more than a dozen old American ginseng plants deep in the mountains. Although these were of little use, I dug them out anyway since I found them.
——
After wandering in the mountains for more than ten days, I finally reappeared in a small city. I habitually took out my laptop and logged on to the Internet to check my popularity. I was surprised to find that the popularity that had gradually subsided once again topped the list.
The reason is indeed a statement released by Amanda a few days ago, "The broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug was originally developed together with myself."
Then the heat that had subsided was quickly ignited, and it didn't stop at all in the past few days... When I saw this situation, I called Amanda as soon as possible.
"Amanda, did you do this on purpose? You knew I didn't want to be famous, so you still issued a statement like that?" Seeing that the other party answered the phone, Li Xiao, who was very depressed, asked directly.
"I can't help it. Someone on the Internet said a few days ago that you were kept by me."
"What a big deal, it's just some rumors. Being famous will naturally make people jealous. People are famous and have a lot of trouble. After a while, no one will pay attention to this kind of thing."
"It's not just a simple rumor, it's also said that you are treading two boats, taking the benefits I gave you, and then getting involved with my assistant, Miss Helen, so Helen and Helen were scolded miserably.
You could bear this matter but I couldn't, and I couldn't contact you at that time, so I issued a statement to clarify."
"Is Miss Helen okay?"
"If she didn't release the news, she would definitely be sprayed with depression by the keyboard warriors. Did you know that she was about to become a sinner in Korea at that time? You don't know how terrible the trolls in Korea are. Those trolls can really
People curse him to death."
"I didn't expect that she would be involved... So what's the situation now?"
"After the news was released, public opinion changed immediately. Didn't you see that most of the messages on the Internet now are blessing you?"
"...Actually, Helen and I are just ordinary friends."
"Can ordinary friends spend the night in a hotel room?"
"I told you that I was playing games at the time and played League of Legends all night."
"I know, Helen said it too, but who would believe it?"
"If you don't believe it, I will pull you down."
"Hey, don't be angry, there's good news for reconciliation."
"What?"
"Riot Corporation contacted me a few days ago. Their newly launched hero Blind Sin wants to use your image to develop a skin. They are willing to pay 1.5 million U.S. dollars. If you are willing to endorse it, you are willing to pay 3 million U.S. dollars.
.”
"Is there any mistake? Why do you want me to speak for you?"
"It is said that your roundhouse kick and your method of removing people's joints are very suitable for their newly developed blind monk. Their blind monk's surname is Li, and your surname is also Li. And you can fight against five on the streets of Manhattan and complete the feat.
Five kills..."
"What nonsense? The blind monk is still blind. Am I blind too?"
"Well, I think you are indeed blind. You can't even see a beautiful woman like Helen, and yet you drag her to play games with you all night. No one in the world is blinder than you."
"Be serious and stop joking, okay?"
"Okay, no joke, League of Legends is actually going to be launched into the Chinese market, and your popularity is so high, so I want to ride on your popularity, especially since you really like this game, and you are inadvertently endorsing them.
, that’s why he took the initiative to come to our door.”
"Money is indeed a good thing, but becoming famous has a great impact on your life."
"Classmate Li, doesn't everyone want fame and fortune? Why do you, at such a young age, regard fame and fortune as a scourge?"
"...Do you think I can take it?"
"Endorsements are too troublesome, but if you just use your image and don't involve personal insult, you can easily earn 1.5 million, which is quite cost-effective. Many people will not make that much money in their lifetime."
Amanda's suggestion really moved Li Xiao a little, because there was only 1,500 US dollars left in his account.
Of course, if you are willing to sell those Bitcoins or those more than a thousand gold coins, you can alleviate the financial crisis. However, it is not appropriate to sell Bitcoins now as they are rapidly appreciating, and I don't want to sell those gold coins brought back from the game world.
"...If you think it's okay, then take it." Wei Wei hesitated and finally agreed.
"Aren't you afraid of being famous?"
"This is already the case, what else can we do?"
"Then come back quickly and sign the contract. Just record a few actions. By the way, don't always call me when you have free time. You should call Helen. She is your nominal girlfriend."
"I have told you that she and I are innocent."
"In the eyes of netizens around the world, you two are a couple. If you abandon her, you will be a scumbag!"
"Well!"
"I'm kidding. If you really don't like her, just say it clearly. There's no need to be so entangled. We are all adults. We can still be friends without being lovers." After that, he hung up the phone.
…
After finishing the call with Amanda, she fell into deep thought. It would be too hypocritical to say that she has no feelings at all for the sexy and charming Miss Helen.
Just judging from my previous experiences, every time I show enough affection for a girl, something bad will always happen.
At first, I fantasized about being with Luna, but then Luna disappeared inexplicably and left the divine realm.
Later, I also thought about being with Meiya, and then I left that world inexplicably.
If I want to be with Miss Helen now, will I be pulled back to that mysterious little world by the time and space teleportation array in advance?
So after much thought, I just sent a message to Helen Zhao, apologizing for unintentionally implicating her. Unexpectedly, the girl called me right away.
He didn't complain, but was more concerned about how he was living these days. Those caring words and gentle voice really made Li Xiao's heart beat, and he almost confessed to the other party on the spot.
Fortunately, I have restrained my impulse. I don't want to go back to that mysterious little world now. I also want to borrow some modern equipment in this world to complete the subsequent improvement of the regeneration potion.
