Chapter 267 222 Actor's Self-Cultivation
"the real king of paru? are you talking about joker himself?"
parlus had a gloomy expression on his face, "if we knew what joker looked like, we wouldn't have ended up in such a mess..."
"but we have seen her! we've seen her at the venue,"
xia nuo nodded and gave fang you a meaningful glance, blinking her eyes playfully and cutely.
"wow, really? for real?"
parlus suddenly showed a delighted expression, "how did you know she was joker? did she tell you?"

"no, she didn't... but i'm one hundred percent sure that she is joker!"
once xia nuo said this, the entire staff fell into silence, and the room was as quiet as death, with even parlus wearing an expression that said, "expecting a child to save the day at such a crucial moment, i must be a fool."
however, at that moment, fang you, who had been silent up to now, spoke up calmly: "i've shared experiences about paru with that sister, and i can guarantee she is joker herself."
"besides, at this point, you don't have enough time to come up with a better plan. trying this out couldn't make things any worse, right?"
"that's... true..."
parlus nodded somewhat helplessly, "then... do you have her contact information?"
"we were about to get it, but you guys stopped us."
xia nuo said huffily, "she was a sister with braids, wearing glasses, probably a high school student—"
then fang you also joined in, "i know where to find her. she's likely planning to leave the paru all stars venue. there's only one bus station nearby that goes to the city. if we go now, we should be able to catch her before she boards the bus."
"then, we need to hurry and leave!"
"the future of paru interactive entertainment is in your hands now!"
after sending off fang you and xia nuo, parlus, who had looked so despondent, suddenly turned stern.
parlus had done an in-depth investigation on fang you to select him as the spokesperson. given fang you's performance at the paru event today, he was still stunning everyone, so parlus was quite confident in fang you's abilities and reliability.
but that being said, he was still responsible for this year's paru all stars event.nôv(el)b\\jnn
"boss, are we really going to rely on these two kids to bring joker back?"
"of course, there's less than 20 minutes left until the start of the event. it's another matter whether they'll make it in time or not. we still need to prepare a plan b."
parlus's face was grave as he said, "i'll say it again, there must be a joker on stage today, otherwise, we can't answer to the players or to the company."
"if fang you doesn't want to play joker, then it has to be that child, right?"
parlus sighed, "given the current situation, it seems it has to be that child."
...
fang you and xia nuo came out of the rv, and fang guanghui and xia anyang, who had been waiting outside for some time, immediately came up to ask about the situation.
"nuo nuo, what did the people from paru say to you?"
"dad, uncle fang, there's no time to explain slowly! it's an emergency, we need to rush to the bus station outside the venue to chase someone!"
"what's going on? i haven't even watched the battle of the four kings yet..."
before fang guanghui could finish his complaints, xia nuo pulled him onto the sightseeing bus.
"we need to bring joker back now!"
"j, joker? what happened!"
"it's a long story short!"
xia nuo explained the situation in a very chaotic way.
then fang you summarized it in one sentence.
"i see, we really need to hurry up now!"
fang guanghui's fighting spirit was ignited upon hearing this:
"joker has not been defeated by my genius son yet; she cannot become a living legend just like that!"
"why don't you go challenge joker yourself..."
xia anyang was at a loss for words at fang guanghui's comment.
on the way to the venue's exit, fang you finally had the chance to ask xia nuo the question that he had been wanting to ask:
"nuo nuo, how could you tell that sister was joker?"
"hmm... it's kind of just a hunch!"
xia nuo said with a pouted smile, "someone who has caught your attention that much, you you, must be really, really skilled. but you didn't show any interest in the other three kings, and that means that sister must be even more formidable than those three... so she has to be joker!"
"hop on, i'll take you to chase it."
"alright!"
su mumu took out a spare helmet from the trunk, "but i've got just one extra helmet, so i can only take one more person with me."
"then, youyou go!"
xia nuo pushed fang you onto su mumu's motorcycle, helped him put on the helmet, and then gave him a thumbs-up, the gesture full of encouragement.
"youyou, you have to bring joker back, okay!"
"okay." fang you nodded and gave xia nuo an ok sign.
at that moment, fang guanghui and xia anyang rushed over as well, shocked by the scene before them.
"hey, hey, what dangerous thing are you doing!"
"hold on, mumu, you can ride a motorcycle on the road?"
"of course, i'm a genius motorcyclist."
su mumu revealed a sunny smile.
then putting on her helmet, she said to fang you seated behind her:
"be careful, little brother youyou, you need to hold onto my waist tightly!"
"alright."
fang you leaned forward, straddling the motorcycle's rear, hugged su mumu's waist, and as she revved the throttle, the engine roared to life, and they shot off like a bolt of lightning—
(ps: please do not imitate this due to the novel's setting and be a good child!)
meanwhile, at the main venue of the paru all stars stage.
just as su mumu sped past with fang you, they happened to pass by the fence surrounding the main venue, and everyone saw the breathtaking scene of su mumu riding at high speed.
the audience below, after seeing this, began to discuss fervently and started taking pictures with their phones.
"hey, look at that, who is that!"
"isn't that su mumu? why is she riding away like that?"
"seems like she's rushing for a race or something... but more importantly, that guy on the back seat, even though he's wearing a helmet, looks kind of familiar, right?"
familiar...
that's right.
the audience below couldn't see clearly, but those on the stage could see everything crisply through the live broadcast.
...
wang zihan happened to see this scene.
however, in contrast to his previous frantic state over su mumu, wang zihan now appeared much calmer.
this kind of feeling, it occurred to wang zihan years ago too.
it seems, no matter how much i lie to myself, i can't change one thing...
sister mumu, you're a great girl.
i once hoped we could go on dates to the movies, eat out, stand by the roadside eating kebabs, walk down the aisle together, name our children together, enjoy our later years together.
but we've each chosen a different path.
in the end, we can only be strangers with a missed connection.
goodbye, sister mumu.
and my innocence.
wang zihan picked up the purple-gold paru device in his hand.
with this, all worldly attachments became irrelevant to him.
i'm destined to become the joker.
to stand at the peak of paru, to become the king of the new era of paru.
i certainly won't grind my teeth in jealousy because you gave my rightful place on your backseat to that kid fang you, letting hate surge violently!
seeing wang zihan beside the stage grinding his teeth and glaring furiously, exuding strong and powerful murderous intent, paru's beside him couldn't help but sigh:
good kid...
feeling like after he becomes the joker, his aura has completely changed...
is this the self-cultivation of an actor?
paru's was impressed by wang zihan's exquisite acting skills, thinking it was a great choice to pick him for the role of joker.
