“I’ll let my driver drop you off?”

After Bai Zhi’s rehearsal ended, she had to return to her studio and prepare for the evening’s fashion night. Makeup and outfit selection would all require time.

Meng Fan naturally followed her out. At this time, the second special guest of the concert appeared.

Being Su Qing Cen’s first tour, the company had paid considerable attention to it. They had arranged a lot of special guests, especially for the kick-off, where they had scheduled three.

Bai Zhi was Su Qing Cen’s good friend in private, and the other guy and girl were artists from Su Qing Cen’s company. Their sets were all very elaborate, for they weren’t just invited because they were her friends, but to support the performance.

Although Meng Fan already had an opportunity to speedily finish [Group Photo God], he still couldn’t pass up a chance that brushed by him.

“It’s fine, I can take a cab home, go do your business.” Meng Fan waved his hand.

“Alright, you head back early, Cai Wei is by herself at home and is quite sad.” Bai Zhi didn’t persist and lead him outside before leaving.

“If I go back, I’ll be sadder.”

Meng Fan did not go back, but he couldn’t ask Bai Zhi to take him to the UP fashion night.

The UP fashion night was in its third year. It was an event jointly organized by the UP group and the fashion group, featuring a cross-border film festival that integrated fashion, entertainment, and technology.

Although it wasn’t the top fashion festival in Hua Xia, the specifications were alright. There were many guests attending, and aside from the celebrities from the entertainment and fashion realms, there were also big tycoons from the tech industry present.

After eating a meal at McDonalds, Meng Fan arrived at the venue.

Several onlookers and paparazzi had already gathered outside the main entrance to the concert center. Various equipment had been set up as well, all facing the red carpet.

The red carpet became a standard for parties and events and festivals. This was for outsiders to see, and it most importantly indicated the specifications of the event.

At almost six o clock, the red carpet segment kicked off.

The vehicles of the attending guests were assembled in a unified place, then one by one they drive slowly toward the open red carpet. The celebrities then disembarked in an elegant and handsome fashion and walked the red carpet, accepting the applause from the audience and the snapping of cameras.

When Meng Fan arrived, a guest stepped out who was a fashion idol. It was the kind of idol that was on TV a lot so much that even Meng Fan, who didn’t follow fashion at all, recognized him. He didn’t remember what their name was for a long time until he heard a crowd of people began to chant his name.

“This should give lucrative experience, right?”

Meng Fan wasn’t very clear on the definition of these public figures, especially when it came to social activists like this one that he recognized but didn’t know the name of until someone called them out. Did they count as a public figure?

He could only take a photo and see if his experience would increase or not.

Putting on the hat, he walked towards the red carpet.

Of course, he wasn’t directly on the carpet, but behind the audience around the carpet.

Although Meng Fan was wearing the presence masking hat and knew that people couldn’t see him or film him, he still couldn’t guarantee that a small or large camera wouldn’t accidentally capture him into the shot.

His validation was on the verge of zero, but it didn’t mean people wouldn’t see him. However, even if they saw him, their eyes wouldn’t transfer his ‘image’ to their brains. Basically, he was ignored by their brains.

But it was a different story if he was captured on camera. What was photographed was already solidified. Once a person looked through the photos and filtered them, he would be noticed for sure.

‘Hey, why is this person strolling around on the red carpet?’

After all, verge of zero did not equal zero.

If it had really equaled zero, Meng Fan’ could stroll around and be filmed without any sense of presence. At that point, photos and films couldn’t contain him.

But verge of zero was very different.

Meng Fan took a self-portrait wearing the hat, then took off his hat to show the photos to other people and asked what they saw to confirm that he did show up in pictures. Only, the answers he received were very heart-wrenching.

Approaching the edge of the crowd, at the end of the red carpet, there was an autograph wall. Two hosts outside the venue were interviewing celebrities with a microphone.

The fashion idol had also arrived there, signing his name on the wall. Seeing that the host was still interviewing someone else and showed no signs of interviewing him, he entered the conference hall.

Screw fashion night!

‘What did the celebrity being interviewed know of fashion? Look at what he is wearing? He couldn’t even catch up with the subject of a street fashion photo shoot. Such poor taste!’

‘Shouldn’t fashion night interview an idol like me? Just because the other person is more famous and well known, they have to suck up to him?’

‘Next time I won’t attend this kind of stupid activity…’

Well, he still had to come. If others didn’t interview him, at least he could take some selfies and find other people to take photos with. He could share it in his WeChat moments and tell everyone on Weibo he had participated in such a highly regarded event. At least it made it easier to go on TV and sell things!

There was nothing to be upset about, it was just a stupid interview!

If a person frequently attended these events, that person would get used to it. Who cares about one interview!?

Snap!

‘What the hell was that?’

The fashion idol heard the sound of a camera lens and jumped out of his skin. He was already far from the photo wall. How could anyone still film him?

Immediately, he adjusted his posture. He turned around and revealed a smile, then turned to make his backside look more handsome.

‘It increased!’

Standing at the corner of the autograph wall and entering the venue, Meng Fan snapped a picture next to the fashion idol and saw his experience increased by 1.

It seemed like the standard for ‘public figure’ was not very high.

A minute later, the interview ended, and the interviewed celebrity began heading inside the conference center.

This person… Meng Fan thought about it and remembered who they were.

It was a handsome male star. Meng Fan didn’t recognize him before, but because the studio administrator kept bringing up Er Qing, Meng Fan had searched it up as well. He just happened to come across this male star, who happened to play the role of the man who had married Er Qing. He seemed to be one of the main male leads in the show and had gained a lot of fame recently.

Photo successful +1.

Meng Fan turned off the shutter sound on his phone, in case it scared the celebrities he was sneaking photos with.

Soon, another celebrity approached.

This seemed to be idols from a group. There were seven of them, with two of the more well-known ones being left behind at the signature wall to receive interviews. The five entered first.

+1,+1,+1,+1!

+1, +1, +1, +1!

Meng Fan took a photo with each one of them, adding 4 experience points. Out of these four, Meng Fan didn’t recognize three of them, so he had no idea which one out of them had not given him an experience point.

This was a double-injury. Not only did Meng Fan miss out on experience, but the person who was inept at providing experience would be even more upset if he knew the truth!

After a while, three more people approached. The first two from the group of seven weren’t done with their interviews, but the difference between these stars was quite big.

Soon, the two leftover guys from the group of seven approached.

A guy and girl, Meng Fan recognized both of them. They were both quite popular, and Meng Fan liked them as well. His mood during the group photo was much more light-hearted than it had been with the others.

The woman who had dared to declare that she was the most beautiful female celebrity in the world was indeed beautiful—although the line was from a movie.

The male star did have a big head; no wonder, he was one of the three big heads in the entertainment industry.

Meng Fan thought his own head was not small either, but he really paled in comparison. His head circumference alone could count for +10 validation!

+1, +1, +1… Twenty minutes later, Meng Fan had collected 32 experience points. Including the +5 from before. He had a total of 37.

If he hadn’t wasted time waiting for them outside and collected all at once after all the celebrities were indoors, it would be even faster.

After finding the correct solution to the problem, the [Group Photo God] task was almost too simple!

Two women approached, both of them were very popular. Meng Fan wasn’t willing to take photos with everyone who came though. For example, these two sellouts who had accidentally ruined their reputation for selling contacts made him feel nauseous. Meng Fan was disdainful. With so much experience, he didn’t need the likes of these two.

Of course, it was only a negative feeling, not hatred. Meng Fan wasn’t going to go up and trip them.

About five minutes later, he saw Bai Zhi.
