Chapter 277: Chapter 277: SS-level

The day after classes were suspended, filming for *My Date with a Vampire* officially began.

Jiang Qin usually wore casual, elegant long dresses; this was the first time she had ever worn a miniskirt.

At 1.72 meters tall, she was considered too petite for Interstellar People, but her body proportions were perfect.

In any case, ever since she came out wearing the miniskirt, Long Hao’s eyes hadn’t left her legs.

Yun Xie even asked three times, “Qinqin, are your legs cold?”

“They’re not. I brought a temperature control cover, remember?”

This was why Interstellar actors had it so good. Whether filming a winter scene in summer or a summer scene in winter, they could use a small temperature control cover to maintain their body temperature.

It was just a bit expensive and a little troublesome.

Most people wouldn’t need it unless they had to spend long periods outdoors and couldn’t wear temperature-regulating clothes.

All the actors were in makeup and costume. Looking at everything, Jiang Qin felt for a moment like she had returned to Earth.

The backdrop, which covered the entire set, was an exact replica of Hong Kong City from that era.

The director they had hired was none other than Miss Wen Yu, who likely never would have gotten her big break without a miraculous stroke of luck.

Her face was youthful, but her camerawork was mature.

As a new director with no prior works, no degree, and only a tiny bit of fame on the Star Network, she was shrouded in controversy.

During the opening ceremony for *My Date with a Vampire*, many reporters had questioned if she had connections to Tianwen’s upper management.

Even on the Star Network, many people were suspicious.

They suspected someone was pressuring Jiang Qin, forcing her to use her own work to push Wen Yu into the spotlight.

But Jiang Qin took the initiative to clear up all these questions.

When the rumors were swirling, Wen Yu, though upset, remained level-headed.

After all, a bit of buzz could help build hype for the new show.

She was actually prepared to be lambasted until filming was done and the show aired, at which point her name would naturally be cleared.

However, she never expected that on the same day the public outcry began, Jiang Qin would issue a statement for her:

[Miss Wen Yu is the director I chose voluntarily. And I, too, had doubts about her abilities at the beginning.

The fact that she passed the evaluation and successfully secured the director’s position for this show is proof of her skill.

I feel very confident entrusting this work to her.]

As soon as this statement was released, public opinion and the rumors instantly shifted, turning into expressions of anticipation.

[Good thing I didn’t join in on the hate. You really have to let the dust settle first.]

[I didn’t say anything bad either. I was worried Qin Bao was really being pressured, but the big fans in the group chat kept reassuring us smaller fans.

So, without any proof, not a single one of us Jiang Fan participated in this online witch hunt.]

[Your Jiang Fan are pretty rational then. A lot of bystanders used “supporting Jiang Qin” as an excuse to vent their anger at her.]

[You can only say that everyone has a strong sense of justice. They get sensitive as soon as they hear about the rich and powerful pressuring common people.]

[As long as everything’s fine. Now I can look forward to Qin Bao’s new work.]

[Filming two shows at the same time, what kind of feast is this going to be?]

[I heard that the martial arts film Director Thompson is shooting right now is meant to go head-to-head with Tianwen Entertainment.]

[That’s hilarious. A copycat wants to go up against the original?]

[Who knows? Maybe they think any random person can make a good martial arts film.]

[But neither of the two shows our Qin Bao is filming this time are martial arts…]

[Huh? Well, that’s even more hilarious.]

…

No one was pessimistic about a show written and produced by Jiang Qin.

After all, her track record spoke for itself.

So, although some people were still mocking and ridiculing Wen Yu, most were just jealous.

With Jiang Qin supervising the filming, the show was basically guaranteed to be a success.

Wasn’t this just a spoon-fed achievement for Wen Yu?

***

Meanwhile, Jiang Qin, who was currently sitting dazed while getting her makeup done, was thinking back to last night’s gift package.

Last night, after getting home from the company, she had eagerly locked herself in her room and unilaterally postponed Lan Yuyan’s “sleepover” until tonight.

Then, after confirming the room was secure, she immediately opened the Contribution Value level-up gift package awarded by the system.

Inside were several items, including a couple of familiar ones:

Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion*1

Physique Enhancement Potion*1

Superpower Enhancement Potion*1

Compendium of Materia Medica*1

Small Plantation*1

Seed Gift Package*1

Pet Egg*1

Enchantment Forging Patch*1

…

’To be honest, I’ve never received such a lavish gift package before. No wonder it took so long to meet the requirements for this level-up.

And the requirements for the next one are even more daunting.

But I’m already content.

After drinking the three enhancement potions, my spiritual power finally broke through the SS-level threshold, and I successfully advanced.

As for my Physique, although I haven’t had it tested, I have a feeling it’s at least A+ Level or higher.

Most likely, it’s S-level.

Without a point of reference, I can’t be too certain.

It’s the same with my Superpower. I don’t dare reveal it, so there’s no way to test it. I can only feel that I’ve grown stronger.

The most obvious change is that before, it took me five seconds to condense a humanoid phantom, but now I can do it instantly.

Moreover, I tried to condense a low-level Mutant Beast Snake and found I can now manifest it at 100% reality.

There’s no difference between it and a real Mutant Beast Snake.

Whether it’s the beast’s abilities or its texture, everything is identical.

The only difference is that if you cut open a real Alien Beast, its body is made of flesh and blood, whereas my creation will just dissolve into a ball of spiritual power when cut.

So, if I encounter danger again, the Alien Beast I can condense will be even stronger than last time!

As for the Small Plantation, the Seed Gift Package, and the Compendium of Materia Medica, I figure they’re for earning Contribution Value.

The Pet Egg hasn’t hatched yet, and I don’t know what kind of pet is inside. I’ve already asked Yun Xie to buy an incubator to house it.

In this gift package, my most pleasant surprise was the Enchantment Forging Patch.

After loading it, the system’s workbenches for making clothes and jewelry immediately gained a “forging” option.

For example, if I want to create a necklace, a normal one only costs reputation value.

But if I want the necklace to have extra utility, like adding a bit of charisma or some other talent, I’ll have to buy rare materials to incorporate into it.

In the system’s store, besides being able to purchase cultural and entertainment works from Earth, a “Daily Market” has now been unlocked.

Only three items appear in the market each day.

They are also limited in quantity, though the purchase limit varies.

For example, today’s three items are:

[Inspiration Brush] Price: 99,999 reputation value.

Just by holding this brush, your mind will be filled with all sorts of inspiration.

You can complete anything you want to draw!

The second item is: [Star Dust Sand] Price: 13,888 * 1g

Add it when crafting clothing, and you will get a dress that twinkles with Stars anytime, anywhere.

The starlight points north.
