Chapter 430: – Preparation for Street Performance
If it weren’t for the black cat, why would Lin Jin want to go to Wanda to dance?
“Going to Wanda to dance?” Wu Min walked up behind Lin Jin, watching her play the game and asked “Did they invite you to some event over there?”
“Nope, how could I be that famous.” Lin Jin was focused on the game. She hadn’t played PUBG much and had never played similar games before so getting killed right after landing was pretty normal. Luckily, she had the beginner gaming proficiency. After dying a few rounds, her skills became somewhat adequate.
Although she couldn’t win first place, she was now averaging two or three kills a game. Lin Jin felt that she just needed to play a few more hours before the game would become easy for her.
“Then why are you going to Wanda to dance?”
“To boost my popularity! I don’t have any popularity online right now. I already have so many videos, but only A Site had some views. So I figured I’d go dance at Wanda Plaza. At that time, there’ll definitely be a lot of people watching and it’ll help promote me and stuff.” Lin Jin randomly made up some reasons, even though the real reason was just because of a task from the black cat.
“Then why are we going?” Wen Xuan immediately asked.
“Wanda has so many people! My dancing is good and I’m so beautiful, what if those people suddenly go crazy? There has to be someone to maintain order, right?” Lin Jin continued talking nonsense.
In reality, Lin Jin was just worried that there would be too many people at Wanda and no one would clear the space for her to dance. Plus, she’d definitely be wearing something light and the nature of the people there are unpredictable. What would she do if her thighs get touched or she gets taken advantage of! Obviously, she needed someone to be the bodyguard or something.
Wu Min’s tall figure completely made him a perfect candidate. As for Wen Xuan, he’d just be there to make up the numbers.
“Then what time tomorrow?”
“Not just tomorrow, there’s also the day after, and the day after that! Every afternoon from one to three!!” Lin Jin confidently said. “Since you guys have nothing to do in the afternoon, you might as well come along and have some fun!”
Her in game character was once again killed shortly after landing, so Lin Jin decided to stop playing for a bit and turned around to look at the two people who were still thinking it over.
“Well?”
“Wu Min can go, I won’t go then." Wen Xuan shrugged. “You know me, I’m lazy.”
“No wonder you can’t get a girlfriend." Lin Jin gave Wen Xuan a nasty glare. “Look at your lazy appearance. What girl would like a guy who only plays games all day?”
“My future girlfriend will love it." Wen Xuan replied confidently.
“Then, Wu Min?” Lin Jin turned to look at Wu Min standing beside her.
Although Wu Min usually played games too, he wasn’t as addicted as Wen Xuan. Lin Jin felt that the heavens were really unfair. Wen Xuan played games every day and barely paid attention in class, yet he still does well in his language courses. She had never seen him study for English, yet his grades were among the top three in class.
“I’ll go then. I’ll be worried letting you go alone anyway." Wu Min said with a smile.
Well, Wu Min had the potential to be a warm man!
Lin Jin grinned and nodded: “Then I’m heading back now~”
“Already? You just got here.”
“It’s fine, I just came by for that one thing anyway.” Lin Jin shrugged. She waved goodbye to the two and left the dormitory.
Speaking of which, at noon today, the black cat issued next week’s task.
Nowadays, the tasks the black cat issued were basically all related to boosting Lin Jin’s popularity. They were either posting videos or achieving a set amount of popularity. The task this time wasn’t much different, except it had changed from videos to dancing in public.
Weekly Task:
As a goddess, you should have enough popularity. Therefore, you need to have a public performance. Whether it's singing or dancing, you just need to attract a crowd of 500 people. [Repeat viewers don’t count!]
Task Reward: Elementary Drawing Proficiency (You really want this, right? After all, your major involves drawing!)
Task Punishment: Forced blind date by your dad.
Forced blind date…
To be honest, if it weren’t for the terrifying punishment and the tempting reward, Lin Jin wouldn’t have considered dancing in public at all.
After all, even when filming dance videos in front of a few classmates, Lin Jin got nervous, let alone dancing in the middle of a busy street.
To complete the task as quickly as possible, Lin Jin decided to dance at Wanda Plaza. There were always a lot of people there. Right across was Jimei University, so there were plenty of students, passersby, and even some tourists. Lin Jin had even seen a few foreigners there before.
At least at Wanda, Lin Jin didn’t have to worry about being surrounded by a crowd only for it to be repeats.
In Lin Jin’s opinion, this task was pretty difficult.
It wasn’t because she doubted whether she was pretty enough, or that she didn’t dance well enough to attract a crowd. It was simply that she wasn’t used to dancing in front of a crowd…
Just thinking about dancing in front of so many people made her feel so f*cking embarrassed!
Even though everyone would be strangers who wouldn’t recognize her no matter what happened, the idea of it still made her embarrassed.
Lin Jin sighed, imagining the details for tomorrow.
Maybe she should bring a speaker over. There’s no way she could just play music from her phone, right? If there was no music, not only would she mess up her rhythm, but the people who saw her dancing in silence would definitely think she was mentally ill.
A speaker... Teacher Lin should have one.
Also, maybe she could start a live stream. Lin Jin had seen live streams before where the streamer sang on the street. And during the live stream, there would even be viewers running over to watch.
Well, if her stream also attracted a lot of viewers, maybe there would also be groups of nearby fans going over to watch in person.
She could just use Xia Tian’s stream for this. In addition, she could also edit the highlights into a video and add an announcement in the video for the next day. That way, the fans watching the video might also show up at the live event.
The task of attracting 500 people made Lin Jin feel a lot of pressure. On a normal day, she might not even encounter 500 people. Even at Wanda, without an actual stage, it would be hard to gather that many.
Since there was filming, Zhu Dong also needed to be called. And since she needed a speaker, then she also needed to call Teacher Lin along if she was free. She needed to use Xia Tian’s stream, then… well, he had work so he couldn’t come.
Two hours a day should be enough, right? She just didn’t know if she needed to notify Wanda’s management before singing and dancing at the plaza.
But those street singers and performers don’t seem to need to apply for permission, right?
Lin Jin’s head hurt. The whole way back, she was busy thinking about these strange details.
