Chapter 687: Chapter 618: Acting Material (Sixth extra Chapter for the Fedora Hat alliance leader!)

Sylvia was both shocked and astounded as she looked at the girl before her. She had considered her own lack of knowledge as the reason for not recognizing someone else’s Pet Beast, or that the other party’s Pet Beast was so rare that it was seldom seen in the market, making it unrecognizable to her. But she never thought that both the Pet Beast and the girl herself were not from Chao Su Star.

"I have a request," the director said. "Do you think you could let your Pet Beast make a cameo in a role for me?"

This left Qiao Sang in a bit of a bind.

She didn’t want to agree.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want Yaobao to have the experience, but with the high school exams approaching quickly, she really couldn’t spare the time to make a cameo in a film.

But if she didn’t agree and the other party got upset and refused to help, then what?

The director, after all, was a director and there was no one better at reading people. He saw Qiao Sang’s reluctance and added, "This role has very few scenes, just two, and if you’re pressed for time, I can start filming right now! I guarantee it will be done within an hour. After we finish filming, apart from fulfilling your request to broadcast the dream, I can also give you a certain payment for your participation."

Having said that, he looked at Qiao Sang with expectant eyes, waiting for her answer.

The assistant director on the side was also full of anticipation; he knew exactly which role the director was talking about as soon as he heard it.

In fact, an appropriate Pet Beast had already been found for this role, but the Pet Beast from Blue Star was clearly more suited for it.

Two scenes, within an hour... it wasn’t impossible... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What role would it be playing?"

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao wagged his tail, showing an eager-to-try expression.

Although it usually watched contests, Xiao Xunbao often watched all kinds of dramas and movies. The thought of appearing on screen like a TV character, where it could spit fire and annihilate enemies in one fell swoop, made the idea of playing such an imposing role rather appealing.

The director smiled and said, "It’s a Pet Beast that dazzles the protagonist the moment it appears. Before becoming a Beast Tamer, the protagonist catches a glimpse of this Pet Beast and memorizes its appearance, unable to find any information about it despite looking through all sorts of records. The first scene to be filmed is this initial encounter, where the Pet Beast’s face is revealed."

"And the second scene?" Qiao Sang asked.

The director cleared his throat, "The second scene is when the protagonist encounters the Pet Beast again. By that time, the protagonist is a B-rank Beast Tamer who has kept a blank contract page, hoping to contract the Pet Beast they met as a child. However, when they meet again, the protagonist sees the Pet Beast losing a fight against a wild Pet Beast. Thinking that the Pet Beast is too weak, the protagonist gives up on the idea of contracting it and turns to contract another Pet Beast instead."

"Ya Ya!"

Upon hearing this, Yaobao’s tail drooped, and he let out a displeased cry to indicate that he refused to play such a feeble role.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Xun Xun!"

Before Qiao Sang could diplomatically translate Yaobao’s meaning, Xiao Xunbao, who was invisibly by her side, materialized excitedly, raising its paw to volunteer.

If Big Brother Yaobao didn’t want to play the part, it would gladly do so!

The director, startled by the sudden appearance of the Spectral-type Pet, took a moment to recover, but his extensive experience soon allowed him to calm down.

"Is this your Pet Beast?" the director inquired, noticing the Identity Bracelet on the Spectral-type creature.

Qiao Sang nodded.

"Also from Blue Star?" he continued to ask.

"Yes," Qiao Sang confirmed with a nod.

The director’s eyes lit up as he scrutinized the also-unseen Pet Beast in front of him.

At that moment, Qiao Sang said, "Director, could we have my small spectral-type Pet Beast act in the role? It’s quite interested in acting."

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao nodded.

Yes, exactly.

The director paused briefly, then decisively agreed, "Okay!"

Although this was a Spectral-type Pet, it was clearly a contender for the most visually appealing among its kind. The distinctive trait of this role was its rarity; it was something the protagonist had no opportunity to encounter regularly, hence why it wasn’t until after becoming a B-rank Beast Tamer that the protagonist saw it again.

And weren’t Pet Beasts from Blue Star precisely those rare creatures rarely seen by people from Chao Su Star?

"Xun Xun~"

As soon as Xiao Xunbao heard this, it joyously floated a full circle.

Then it thought of something, looked at the director, and showed a curious expression.

"Xun Xun?"

When will it be possible to watch it on TV after it’s finished shooting, when can it see itself on the screen?

Qiao Sang stifled a laugh and proceeded with the translation.

The director thought for a moment and said,

"If all goes well, it should be half a year from now. Aren’t you friends with Sylvia? She will definitely let you know when it airs."

"Of course, I will," Sylvia said with a smile.

Let’s see, I need to add a contact method for the task publisher later... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Once the appearance was confirmed, the director couldn’t wait to start shooting.

The first shot was very simple, requiring no acting skills; Xiao Xunbao just needed to float past the protagonist and then turn its head for a close-up shot of its face.

"Action!" the director commanded.

Xiao Xunbao floated leisurely forward, slowly turning its head to throw a coquettish glance at the actor playing the protagonist, before turning away.

To turn one’s head is to turn one’s head, why throw a flirty look too... Qiao Sang silently covered her face, feeling it was too cringe-worthy to watch.

To her surprise, the director excitedly exclaimed, "Excellent!"

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it wasn’t asked to perform; this, it definitely couldn’t do...

The first scene was a success in one take, and the second scene was a fight sequence.

The combat was staged, of course. Having watched so much television, Xiao Xunbao naturally acted as if hit by the opponent’s Flying Leaf Quick Knife and fell to the ground.

Then, it saw the protagonist.

"Xun Xun..."

Lying on the ground, Xiao Xunbao quivered as it stretched out its paw toward the protagonist. Before the protagonist could draw near, it closed its eyes, and its paw slid completely onto the ground.

"Fantastic!" The director applauded vigorously, praising, "That was simply superb acting!"

The actor playing the protagonist silently stepped aside, knowing the praise wasn’t meant for him.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao got up and floated to its Beast Tamer’s side, displaying an "it was no big deal" proud expression.

The director looked at Qiao Sang and marveled,

"Your Spectral-type Pet is simply born to be an actor!"

It’s also cut out for reading... Qiao Sang said with a smile, "It usually likes watching TV shows and movies."

"Liking to watch shows and acting are two different things," the director said cheerfully. "A Pet Beast with no talent will never be able to act well, no matter how many shows it watches. All right, let’s go. Aren’t you waiting for the dream sequence to be set up?"

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

Finally, the moment had arrived!

The two arrived at a spacious office that was unoccupied.

Sylvia followed along.

Qiao Sang placed Yaobao on the ground.

Then she turned to Xiao Xunbao and said seriously, "Bring out the Dream Enlightenment Stone."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao called out in acknowledgment, then began fumbling inside the ring it wore.

In a short while, it took out a square blue box.

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao was feeling both nervous and excited at this moment.

It knew the importance of this object.

Its Beast Tamer had worked so hard to earn Points, all for its sake.

ps: Ah! After a year! I’ve finally settled my debt to the first boss!!!
