READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 92: Chapter 92
Lin Yi thought he might have a close look at the interior structure of the business car that a major star would be riding in.
However, this time, Eiichi Yamagishi was driving his own car.
This left Lin Yi somewhat disappointed.
After thinking about it, though, he realized that compared to a business car, an ordinary car wouldn't attract as much attention in this place.
Mouri Kogoro consciously sat in the front passenger seat.
Okino Yoko, Ran, and Lin Yi naturally sat in the back seats.
Okino Yoko, 22 years old, took great care of herself and looked like an 18-year-old girl.
Being kind-hearted, she quickly warmed up to Ran.
Ran immediately started asking her about the life of idols.
To which Okino Yoko could only give a bitter smile and say, "When you first become an idol, you have to go through a lot of artistic training. Only after completing that training can you have the chance to appear on TV…"
Noticing Ran's interest in the entertainment world, Okino Yoko explained some basic things.
For instance, becoming an idol isn't easy.
Especially for someone like Ran, still in high school. Becoming an idol means giving up many things.
After classes, she would have to go to the agency to train in singing, dancing, and more.
As for extracurricular activities or free time, those would be forgotten entirely.
The only thing she would be doing is practicing, practicing, and practicing.
From a novice who knows nothing, she would gradually transform into a dance expert who could start dancing as soon as the music begins.
The amount of effort required is clear.
If you can't imagine it, try playing Sekiro; when you manage to dodge, block, and counter at any time, then you might have what it takes to be an "idol."
With such intense training, it's natural that you won't have time to maintain your relationships.
Friends who used to be close will likely drift away.
Personal time and hobbies will also have to be sacrificed due to a lack of time.
Not only will you endure intense physical training, but you'll also be under enormous psychological pressure.
This alone is enough; many can't handle it…
The most important thing is that even if you pass the training and become an idol, it doesn't mean everything is settled.
If you don't manage to win over fans, aren't popular, and don't bring in profits for the agency, it's like being stuck in a level of a game—simply unbearable.
Giving up isn't an option, but staying stagnant isn't either.
This is also why Lin Yi isn't interested in becoming an idol.
It's just looking for trouble; with the time he'd lose on that, he'd rather open more boxes and get good rewards.
Thinking about this, Lin Yi, taking advantage of his luck, opened a common box.
[You've opened a common box and obtained Tone Optimization.]
[Tone Optimization: Your voice will sound more pleasant to others.]
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, looked at Ran and then at Okino Yoko, and, without saying a word, opened the seven common boxes he had.
[You've opened a common box and obtained Tone Optimization.]
[…You've obtained Volume Increase.]
[…You've obtained Frequency Control.]
[…You've obtained Melody Enhancement.]
[…You've obtained Breath Improvement.]
[…You've obtained a Bag of Throat Lozenges.]
"…"
What…the hell?
Eight common boxes, and all the items are related to voice!?
Lin Yi was quite surprised. He'd barely thought of something slightly mischievous, and immediately, those items appeared.
System, my man, your hints are way too obvious!
And besides…
Lin Yi looked at Ran. He couldn't help but feel tempted to hold her and kiss her right then.
He thought he probably got these items thanks to the luck that accompanied her.
If he'd done it alone, it would have been a miracle just to get Tone Optimization.
[The system detects that the host has learned multiple voice-related skills. Would you like to merge them?]
Can I merge them?
Confirmed.
[You've learned Voice Change.]
[Voice Change: You can alter your voice. When you're familiar with a person's voice, you can imitate it.]
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel excited.
This is Vermouth's signature ability! The power to change voices at will!
If you add disguise skills, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want?
Lin Yi looked at Ran again, feeling a strange sense of awe inside: Is this the power of luck? It's terrifying…!
Quickly, Lin Yi seized the opportunity to open a gold box.
[You've opened a gold box and obtained a song.]
Hmm? A song?
[A Song: When used, it will automatically generate the most popular song of the moment.]
He remembered that Okino Yoko had been a member of the girl group "Earth Lady."
This item is perfectly suited to try getting closer to her…
It definitely has something to do with her!
Lin Yi looked at Ran.
Ran felt Lin Yi's gaze and looked back at him…
Lin Yi looked at Ran with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing…"
------------------------------
Okino Yoko is one of the most popular idols at the moment.
However, the apartment she lives in is just a high-end apartment, with no security systems, so it can't really be considered luxurious.
Although Okino Yoko is famous, all the money she earns goes to the agency, and with that big "vampire" there, her income is barely better than that of a middle-class person.
As for other idols, it's even worse. Just look at Yuko Ikezawa, who even has to do bad things herself, and you'll understand how tough their lives are.
Taking the elevator, they arrived at Okino Yoko's floor.
Lin Yi looked up at the security camera. He remembered seeing online that if you open your phone's camera and point it at the lights, if you see infrared light on the screen, it means the camera is on.
Thinking this, Lin Yi took out his phone and pointed it at the security camera.
Looking at the screen, he realized there was no infrared light.
"Hmm? Yi, what's up?" asked Ran, curious as she watched Lin Yi's behavior.
"The security camera here is broken," replied Lin Yi, putting his phone away.
Yamagishi Eiichi looked at him in surprise and nodded, "Yes… it's been intentionally disabled. If not for that, we wouldn't have needed to ask Detective Mouri for help."
Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you mention it to the manager?"
Yamagishi Eiichi gave a bitter smile, "Yes, but it was useless…they fixed it last time, but it was destroyed again."
At that moment, a scream was heard from Okino Yoko.
