In the press conference for the new drama [Splendid].
In the audience, fans were eager and full of anticipation. “Ahhh, Older Brother Fan has waited for so long, and finally he gets to eat the big cake.”
“How can this already be considered a big deal? This is good indeed and has a big-name director. Older Brother came from a talent show, and his fans are very young. But after this TV series airs, it will definitely attract people of all ages.”
“Speaking of which, Older Brother Fan is so easy to deal with. We don’t have to put in any extra effort to raise stats for him. He’s just that lucky.”
“Hahahahaha, is this the joy of raising an Emperor star1?”
The fans were making quite a lot of noise. Standing alone in the backstage, Lu Fang vaguely heard some noises. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the look in his eyes became a little subtle.
Whether in the eyes of people in the circle or outside the circle, he was a well-deserved Emperor star sent from heaven.
It was said that many entertainment companies were now signing young people who look like him, hoping to replicate his legendary success.
But their hopes were almost entirely destined to be dashed.
The reason he became an overnight sensation wasn’t because of his androgynous face or his amazing singing and dancing skills, but rather because of luck.
Just as he was recalling the past, for some reason, his eyes began to spin and his mind became foggy.
When he raised his head, he was stunned by the scene before him. He was no longer at the press conference but in a very familiar place: his home.
His father, who was watching TV, turned to look at him and almost fell off the sofa. “You, you, you, you— aren’t you holding a press conference?!”
Lu Fang: “???”
He was shocked, and his first reaction was that he had teleported from the press conference to his home.
He touched his face in surprise. Ever since he learned about borrowing luck, he had been very interested in the study of metaphysics, but he couldn’t even finish reading the Book of Changes2 and couldn’t begin learning this path.
But who would have thought, just like willows unintentionally planted grow to give shade3, he has somehow awakened a special ability!
He happily walked over to the sofa and asked, “Dad, quickly contact that Master. I’ve awakened my special abilities. Wait, he might not be trustworthy, so let’s just forget it.”
The father asked curiously, “What special ability?”
“I can teleport!”
My father was overjoyed and immediately said, “Then our family will be prosperous again and we won’t have to live in poverty anymore.”
Lu Fang thought of that master with mixed feelings. “That is only natural. But that Master is such a rip-off. Just for something like borrowing luck, he asked for so much money. It made us practically bankrupt!
“If it weren’t for those idiotic fans sending me money, we would be sleeping on the street.”
He was grateful to this master, but he also resented that he asked for too much money.
He was obviously a wealthy second-generation who had no worries about food and clothing, but because of the borrowing luck incident, he spent all his family’s wealth and even owed loans, which he only paid off after he became famous.
That Master didn’t even look like an immortal at all, he was just simply obsessed with money!
But on second thought, the other party’s willingness to help him borrow luck was obviously a crooked move, so it was normal for them to ask for a lot of money.
His father smiled and soothed him, “If you can become a top star, you’ll definitely be richer than I ever was. Don’t worry. Your fans love you so much and are willing to sacrifice their luck for you. You don’t have to feel guilty.”
After hearing what his father said, Lu Fang smiled widely, “They all wish for me to walk on the flower path all day long. But how can I walk on the flower path if they don’t give me their good fortune?”
His father was very relieved. “Right? Even if they want this for you, you still have to keep it a secret. I heard from the Master that this spell is very evil. The more those people love you, the more they will be sucked dry, and they may even die. If a death ever happens, you will be in trouble.”
Lu Fang nodded confidently. “Don’t worry. The spells on my merch is concealed very well and blends in with the surroundings. Only the gods would notice it.”
Then he checked his watch and said hurriedly, “No more talking. I have to find a way back to the studio quickly. I was alone backstage earlier, but I’m afraid that someone would notice me gone.”
“Okay, okay, go ahead,” his father said quickly.
On a whim, Lu Fang put his hands together and shouted, “Teleport!”
The next second, a familiar feeling of dizziness set in. When he opened his eyes again, the place he was in looked different.
He looked down at his hands in surprise. He just wanted to try out his teleportation ability, but he didn’t expect that he would actually succeed in one try.
With this ability, didn’t it mean he could go wherever he wanted in the future?
At this moment, shouts came one after another and countless flash lights almost blinded his eyes.
Lu Fang subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes, looked up ahead, and his pupils shrank inch by inch.
At some point, he seemed to have walked out from backstage and into the center of the press conference. He was now facing the audience, surrounded by reporters and fans.
The fans who had just praised him pointed at his face, were all shrieking, their faces horrified.
“Ahhhhh, Lu Fang has gone crazy, he actually called us fans idiots.”
“What do you mean by borrowing luck? He borrowed our luck?”
“Hurry up and go to the Shark platform to watch the livestream of [Welcome the Sun, Rise from Clouds]. I didn’t believe when she talked about the luck borrowing thing, but I never expected Lu Fang to admit it himself.”
The reporters swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, quickly raising their microphones to their mouths.
“Lu Fang, may I ask why you suddenly walked from backstage into the audience and insulted the fans? Are you on drugs?”
“Is what you said about borrowing luck really true? Did you borrow luck from your fans?”
“You became famous overnight, was it because of stolen luck?”
Lu Fang suddenly turned pale and fell to the ground, his limbs weak and powerless. He raised his hands to hold his head, unable to believe what had happened to him.
He murmured to himself, “How could this happen…”
He had clearly teleported back home, walked to the sofa, and was chatting with his father.
How come in the eyes of others, he walked from backstage to the front of the audience, talking to himself?
Was he suffering from delusions?
