In the center of the Capital Star, the palace is magnificent and majestic. Behind several layers of protective nets, that cannot be discerned by the naked eye, experienced guards stand on high steps and tense their nerves.
June has officially passed, announcing the arrival of the second half of the year. At eight o’clock in the morning, the emperor and empress appeared in front of the camera on time to announce the main policy direction and some important arrangements of the royal family for the second half of the year to the people of the empire.
These routine discourses seem lifeless to some extent, and not many people except politicians will pay close attention to details. However, the emperor and the empress still achieved perfection in front of the camera, and the lengthy manuscript almost had a hypnotic effect under the emperor’s gentle voice.
Until a certain announcement, everyone who wanted to listen to it or not focused their attention, and even rewound back to listen to it again to confirm that they didn’t hear wrong just now.
“Marshal Qin Nuo of the First Legion will return to work at the Capital Star’s military headquarters at the end of July.”
As soon as the remark came out, it was like a kindling of fire being thrown into dry wood, which immediately brought about a huge wave of public opinion in Capital Star.
Qin Nuo never lacked all kinds of dazzling auras, but in fact, except for the occasional appearance in some necessary social events for nobles when he was young, most of the time the outside world only asks about him but don’t ever see him. The situation became worse after Qin Nuo entered the Imperial Military Academy, until he transferred to the front line of the Desolate Star with the First Legion. Qin Nuo himself returned to the Capital Star very few times in the past ten years. This is very different from those nobles who like to show their faces and gain favor in the eyes of the people.
The iron-clad candidate for the next emperor, a cosmic-level diamond bachelor, is full of fanatical admirers across the entire empire and across the three realms of ABO. Now that the news of his return to the Capital Star is announced, it is a universal celebration for most people. Not even an exaggeration.
Naturally, no one cared about the frustrated and worried royal family. In fact, even the emperor and empress had largely given up and resigned themselves to fate. After all, according to Qin Nuo’s prestige and the abilities of the Williams family at this time, he can take control of the entire empire at any time.
The green light of the camera was turned off, and the empress, who had been standing next to the emperor with a smile on her face, immediately suppressed the smile, and turned around indifferently.
The emperor casually threw the manuscript to the ministers at the side, then turned his head and gave the indifferent empress a contemptuous look, and then strode forward. The empress lifted the hem of her skirt and left the hall in the other direction without looking back.
Little A conscientiously broadcast the public speeches of the emperor and his wife to Lin Yi. When the broadcast ended he turned off the projection on its head and turned to look at Lin Yi, but found that he didn’t listen to it at all, but with one hand resting on his cheek, he was concentrating on looking through the mailbox of his personal terminal.
As a qualified brain of the empire, Little A, who firmly believes that the royal family is equal to glory and nobility, considers whether to call Lin Yi to watch the emperor’s speech just now.
However, before that, it is more important to bring the nutrient solution over! Thinking of this, Little A’s wheels started to roll.
The reason why Lin Yi was staring at the computer in a daze was that he received an email, that was somewhat unexpected, from the official account of a movie that was still in production.
It directly interrupted Lin Yi’s original plan to go directly to the Empire Forum to see what kind of responses the song he released yesterday received.
The movie is called The Wasteland, and some relevant information can be found in the original owner’s memory. At the time, he had just finished filming the commercial, and the film The Wasteland was also casting. Yinyue Entertainment originally had a flattering mentality and wanted to push the original owner to be a supporting actor. At the time, he did pass the audition, and even the contract was signed. However, after all these things happened, Lin Yi, who was in a high pressure area of negative news, didn’t think about it at all. After all, he doesn’t think The Wasteland will allow him to play a male supporting role as a movie with a lot of attention. Even Lin Yi felt that the other party wouldn’t want a person like him, who aroused the anger of netizens in almost the entire empire. The film can be said to reflect the suffering and choices of soldiers on the front line and ordinary people on the edge of the planet in early years.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
However, although he was indeed deprived of the male supporting role, unexpectedly The Wasteland did not completely remove him. Judging from the content of the email, the wording in it was mostly reluctant just because Lin Yi had already signed a contract, and the other party didn’t want to violate the contract. What’s the reason? It’s the fact that Lin Yi did get a role on the crew.
Lin Yi didn’t mind having the protagonist or the secondary role. In fact, when he was sorting out his memory, the movie The Wasteland once made him feel bright, and he regretted the lost chance to participate in the role. However, he didn’t expect that at this time, the opportunity would come back.
As a semi-documentary film, The Wasteland first pulled away from the many faults in current films of the Empire when shooting. Compared with the very conservative use of technology to replace real scenes, the film The Wasteland has been set to be shot on-site from the beginning, throwing out all the props that affect the expression of true emotions. If this is nothing, then the shooting location is set on the Desolate Star, a planet that has been baptized by countless wars, and this request seems too crazy.

He once mercilessly criticized the current empire’s film and television works as: ninety percent of them are rubbish, it’s not a performance at all, they are zombies, they are puppets, and he will shoot works that really don’t pollute the eyeballs.
These words are indeed unpleasant, but in Lin Yi’s opinion, they are indeed in line with reality. The entertainment industry in the empire is almost on the path of abnormal development, and it is a terrible thing that no one wants to correct.
However, he doesn’t know if it was to scare him or make him retreat, but there were a few lines of fine print attached at the bottom of the email, reminding Lin Yi how dangerous the environment in the Desolate Star was, and the intention was to persuade Lin Yi to leave.
Lin Yi didn’t care about the environment of the Desolate Star, what he cared more about was the salary displayed in the corner, no more than 5,000 yuan. This price is ridiculously low in the market for half a month of shooting.
Lin Yi tapped lightly on the table with his fingertips. He wanted to act, but he had to succumb to the fact that he was extremely poor, so he lowered his head and asked Little A at his feet: “How much money is left in my account?”
When Little A read the balance, the red light on his head jumped up and down, and he quickly replied: “After deducting the indoor energy usage fees for the past two days last night, the balance in the account is negative 50.32 yuan.”
Come on, it just became a negative number.
Before Lin Yi got too nervous, Little A spoke again.
“Master, I have already evaluated the property you currently own. At present, the most reasonable action is to sell my machine casing.” Little A’s tone seemed calm, but the red on his forehead almost flashed to the point of connecting to the city. It completely exposed his tension and uneasiness.
Lin Yi chuckled twice, didn’t reply, and clicked on the Empire Forum again, ready to see if there was any response to the song he posted in the music section yesterday.
Judging by Lin Yi’s reference to other posts that published work, no matter how good it was, they can get a few hundred yuan, and many get a few thousand yuan. Most netizens in the music forum are willing to encourage each other. So Lin Yi reckoned the song, Dawn, that he released yesterday, even though it might have been unacceptable in the early stage, should have earned him several hundred yuan in the music section by now.
He didn’t expect that most of the netizens who listened to Dawn yesterday didn’t sleep well all night, and shared his works with each other, so Lin Yi’s song baptized the music of the entire Imperial Forum in less than one night. Its popularity abruptly pushed Lin Yi’s post to the homepage of the Empire Forum, and attracted many onlookers from other sections.
All those who have listened to the song, even those who cannot accept such a turbulent and intense style of music, have to admit that this song has a strange, direct magic, and it undoubtedly breaks out of the previous imperial music style. It created a unique faction, a clear banner.
“Too! Amazing! I showed this song to my brother (he is a retired soldier), and you know what! My brother! A very hard-line alpha actually cried in front of my face, although he doesn’t admit it now, but I saw him secretly rewarding the song with a thousand yuan (smile).”
“The author is definitely not human! I have goosebumps the whole time while listening to the song, and now I can’t express my feelings in words! I love this author. I guess the author must be a soldier. I propose to marry him on the spot!” Plus a tip of two thousand yuan.
“Little O upstairs has started again?”
“As an old man in the music section, I really want to cry when there is such a god-man in the music forum at such a time of life and death. I think the music district can still be saved!”
Lin Yi didn’t expect this kind of situation, and of course he was unprepared when he logged into his account. As a result, the screen of Lin Yi’s cheap personal terminal went black.
Since countless people were staring at his avatar and found that his avatar was lit up, they then clicked the call request almost at the same time, directly crowding his terminal.
“Huh?” Lin Yi patted the personal terminal on his wrist, a little confused, so, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Little A next to him still looking worried, and teased him, “Little A, can the personal terminal be sold?”
The personal terminal can be sold, but the personal terminal is the real data storage place for Little A. If he sells Little A, he will become a homeless child directly, and may be taken back and then distributed to homeless people on lower planets.
Lin Yi felt that he was as vile as a parent who frightened his children, but he couldn’t help the evil taste.
Little A really panicked. Although he really wanted to lie, he couldn’t really tell the lie. Not only did the red light flash on his head, an alarm went off. Lin Yi’s head hurt when he heard it, and he regretted it and shouldn’t have made it this bad
“Quiet.” Lin Yi lowered a hand and touched Little A’s round head, “Don’t worry, I won’t sell you.”
The siren on Little A’s head just stopped, and then he stood by Lin Yi’s feet, silently, but full of grievances.
During this brief interlude, Lin Yi’s personal terminal also returned to normal, and he finally successfully logged into his account.
A system prompt popped up in front of Lin Yi’s eyes, “The system has detected too many voice and video call requests, and has temporarily blocked this function. Users can manually enable it at their own discretion.”
Lin Yi didn’t even have time to think about why, but he noticed that almost all the items in the background were 9999+ message prompts, and what was even more amazing was the account balance displayed on his background.
After rounding, no more, no less, exactly two million.
The income in the Empire Forum is very transparent. Almost every post can be rewarded, as long as the user is willing, the minimum is one penny, and the maximum is unlimited. It’s just that after the author receives the income, they need to share it with the platform, and each gets half of the income. This half of the income, after deducting taxes, is the author’s net income.
The two million currently displayed is the income after sharing with the platform. Even if the remaining amount after tax is only 1.5 million, this figure is enough to solve Lin Yi’s current financial crisis.
Half expected, half unexpected, Lin Yi stared at the screen for a while, calmed down, clicked on the main page of the post, browsed through some frenzied tipping messages in the front row, and finally under the expectations of people typed a line of words.
“Thank you for your likes. I will continue to create if I have the opportunity.”
Those who noticed that Lin Yi had already logged in but immediately logged out were a little surprised and disappointed, but now they saw this message and became excited again.
A flood of compliments and questions came to Lin Yi again.
There are two frequently asked questions, one asks when Lin Yi will be able to release a new song, and the other asks when Lin Yi will reveal himself.
The reason why he said that he would continue to create if he had the opportunity was not to tantalize people, but because Lin Yi really didn’t like creating for the sake of creating. If it is not a last resort, he prefers to play according to the emergence of inspiration. In terms of revealing his identity, it is even more impossible now.
This song does seem to be popular at the moment, but in fact, the mainstream rewards are still users in the music area. After all, the population base of the empire is placed here. A reward of several million sounds extreme, but in reality, it can only be ranked in the tens of thousands in the Empire Forum, and the counting unit of the post with the highest reward from a big cow is a hundred million.
Compared to the public’s dislike for Lin Yi at this time, this liking can be said to be vulnerable.
However, Lin Yi still felt happy.
With his fingertips, he turned the page back to the mailbox interface of his personal terminal, and signed the consent form for shooting The Wasteland without hesitation.
Now, Lin Yi thought, he could say that he had a good start.
A good start for our dear lin yi! 💙
