“Ding! You’ve reached 100 characters dubbed, and spent 10,000 minutes cumulatively in the recording studio, completing the task [Studio Bug]. You’ve received the achievement title [Studio Bug] (Voice acting skills +5, voice appeal +3)”

Sleeping AFK, he was able to level up!

This kind of feeling made Meng Fan ecstatic.

After opening his eyes, he wanted to experience the increased attributes for himself and opened his equipment to test the results. He was able to fully transform the attributes the System had rewarded him to facilitate his own ability.

With the increase of his dubbing skills, the enhancements were all-encompassing, so if Meng Fan didn’t test it, there would be no other way to fully grasp it.

After testing several classic clips, he would listen to them himself and try to understand the changes and extract an order from them…

“F*ck, iron god, did you just wake up or did you not sleep?”

In the last few days, Meng Fan hadn’t received much work, and the ones he’d done were small roles that Lou Lan had found for him. Lou Lan, of course, had his own plans. See now, he’d pulled another all-nighter. It was barely 5:00 am when Lou Lan was prepared to go to bed as he walked by Meng Fan’s studio on his way out. Cautiously, he had peaked inside to see Meng Fan still recording.

“You’re too hardcore!”

Lou Lan gave him a big thumbs up and yawned as he headed off to sleep.

Meng Fan dubbed for a little while longer and left the studio. As he exited the cultural park, he jogged back to the neighborhood. Now that he’d gained all the experience he needed, he no longer had to suffer inside the studio.

He ran home and took a shower and melted into the bathtub for a bath. With a relaxed expression and loose muscles, he finally managed to fall back asleep.

“It’s already December!”

When Meng Fan woke up, he looked at the time. Checking his calendar, Meng Fan finally realized that they had only just entered December, which meant that the days were getting closer and closer to the day of the major accident before his reincarnation.

It’s already been two and a half months since he was reborn!

In the last two months, the trajectory for Meng Fan’s entire life and his education had changed greatly.

Before he was reincarnated, he was still a person who would occasionally give little spurts of effort to receive a lot of rewards. Regardless if it was in school or in life, he had been a salty fish. Every day he’d swim a little and consider it valiant.*

*In Chinese, there’s the saying “Xian Yu Fan Shen (salty fish turns over), usually used to describe underdogs or underachievers who turn the tide, or ‘turn around’ their misfortune.

If nothing unexpected happens and he was able to graduate from the academy smoothly, he could rely on his drawing skills and professional ability to find a decent job. He didn’t have to worry about a house, owning a car, or money in general. He could pursue his idols, watch the concerts of the people he liked, and even manage to eat a meal with them with his thick skin.

He could play all the video games he wanted, dub all the shows he wanted, donate hundreds and thousands of HXB to the streamers he enjoyed, and eat what he wanted…Maybe if he really ran into something unexpected, like a girl he liked a lot, or a foreign disease, he would grit his teeth and find a good coach to help him lose weight.

If he wasn’t reincarnated, Meng Fan’s life would definitely not be bad. You can even say he’d live very well. After all, he was a wealthy idle fish that could also swim for himself. Regardless, he is a small master, who has a better material condition and better life than the 99.999% of people who had struggled their entire lives for similar conditions.

Of course, life was unexpected. Nobody could predict what would happen next. Maybe someone would actually be triggered by such an event, and burn out in the spirit of hard work. Maybe he would succeed in losing weight, and become a famous manga artist. At least, the possibility of the latter is quite large. After all, his foundations were solid.

After being reborn, he had gained the System, a gold finger that could reward his hard work eye for an eye!

This kind of goldfinger was able to make an idle fish like Meng Fan work, and very hard at that.

Everyone on earth knew how to work hard, but too many people had given up because they received no rewards, or given up before they could benefit.

There were two kinds of people on this planet that were badass. One was the person who was rewarded by their hard work, and the other was the person who could quickly reap their reward from working hard.

But of course, the most badass of all were the people who have already received the rewards but continue to work hard.

Because of this, Meng Fan’s life saw some drastic changes. He was no longer an idle fish, paddling along. He slept later than a rooster and woke up before a rooster as well. He worked so hard, it was almost like he wasn’t from a rich family.

His skin had grown thicker, he’d become braver, and he’d lost a lot of weight and became muscular. He was in contact with people he never thought he’d be interacting with, and to further improve his dreams, he also met someone he genuinely liked…

If you asked Meng Fan if he liked his life before his rebirth, his answer would be yes.

If you asked Meng Fan if he regretted cruising by life before his rebirth, he would say no.

Then would he like the way he’s changed after rebirth? The answer was yes, of course!

Would he be willing to give up his current accomplishments and return to the past?

No way!

Hence, Meng Fan had been reluctant to think about his reincarnation, particularly the day it happened.

Not many events had overlapped before and after his rebirth, but there were still some. Like Su Qing Cen’s concert, Chen Da Qiang’s fight…Especially Chen Da Qiang’s incident. Even if Meng Fan already knew it was going to happen, Chen Da Qiang had still been blocked by Wei Zhi Xue’s ex-boyfriend. However the final result was better than what it had been, as Chen Da Qiang wasn’t beaten as bad, and even ended up together with Wei Zhi Xue.

There were overlaps that made Meng Fan worry that the plane robbery would occur. Chen Da Qiang’s improved result gave Meng Fan a sliver of hope that the hijacking would go better too.

Of course, he still hoped for it to not happen at all!

If it did, would he hide, or still fight?

If he hid, what would the result of the highjacking be?

If he ran at them hard-headed again, would he be able to change the situation with the changes to his person?

These were all questions Meng Fan was too afraid to think about!

There was another point missing. That was his cousin, Meng Cai Tang, calling him to go to Singapore!

Before the rebirth, Meng Fan was on the way to Singapore because Meng Cai Tang had received an award. It was also after Meng Cai Tang’s award ceremony that he’d returned from Singapore to Japan to attend an anime convention and attend a CV concert.

The hijacking had occurred on the flight from Singapore to Japan.

As for the reason and motivation behind it, Meng Fan was not aware.

“If Tang Tang didn’t call me, does this mean that the trajectory of this event has changed?”

“But what if, even if Tang Tang didn’t call me, and I don’t go there, a hijacking still occurs?”

Meng Fan’s head immediately began to throb!

He’d been too scared to think about it before, but looking back now, the issue seems more complicated than he’d thought!

“Mother of God! Even if Tang Tang doesn’t call, I still have to go to Singapore. Otherwise, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life! With my current stature and abilities, my hat, and my black magic technology, can I really get f*cked that hard again?”

Meng Fan remembered that he had given his life in exchange for a little more time. Eventually, the hijackers had been subdued, and the plane was safe. He could deduce that these hijackers weren’t very strong, and felt more confident in himself.

His former self was still able to play a main role, not to mention his current self. Plus, there was also a way to prevent the hijackers from boarding the plane!

After thinking it through, Meng Fan’s thoughts immediately cleared up.

Buzz.

It was a WeChat message, but not from Meng Cai Tang. It was from Wu Tong.

“I’m returning in the afternoon, and I land around 4:20 pm. Will you pick me up?”

“Do you want me to pick you up?”

“I do.”

Seeing these two words, Meng Fan not only felt enlightened. It was as if he could see the universe, break the void, and even see God!
