《The Journey Towards Stardom》Chapter 16 - Looks for free

Advertisement

Voting ends at 12 AM so the pictures were uploaded on the website at 5 pm, giving the netizens enough time to vote for their favorites.

On their way back to the villa, Faer kept feeling a gaze filled with ill intent boring into his back. Turning his head around, he saw William with a smirk on his face as he met Faer’s eyes.

The viewers weren’t professionals, but their opinions were indispensable. To receive their votes, you had to have an excellent appearance, have an agreeable personality and take good pictures. Faer's pictures were the worst of the lot but with his exceptional looks he ended up being the one not eliminated.

When the episode aired, at first the viewers swooned at his handsomeness but as the show progressed they couldn’t help but frown. This hottie sure knew how to live leisurely, look at him sleeping for the whole time, Ah, what a waste of good looks. If the pictures were uploaded after the episode aired, surely Faer would have been eliminated.

Back at the villa, Faer felt like he had a dark rain cloud hovering over his head. With his mind now clear, he noticed that his condition before was strange so he thought hard and long about what was the cause of the problem. On his way to relieve himself in the bathroom, he heard a conversation between William and another person. Due to his cheat stats, Faer had exceptional hearing.

“How much did you give him? He was supposed to be passed out for the entirety of the shoot, and then automatically eliminated for not being able to take photos.” William was really upset that Faer somehow avoided elimination.

Staying out of sight, Faer continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“I crushed a bunch of the pills and mixed it into the porridge. He should have been knocked out based on the dosage so I’m just as clueless as you are.” The voice that responded was very familiar to Faer.

So that’s what happened! Faer sneered as he finally figured out the reason he was so sluggish. If it weren’t for his cheat, he would have been down for the count.

'Want to scheme against me? You’re 100 years too early.'

Faer’s new personality, though dispassionate, was also very cunning. His days of being pushed around were long over.

Alone in his room, Faer looked at himself in the floor length mirror. Pushing the hair out of his face, he turned his head from side to side, examining his features. The white milky skin that should have given him sickly pallor, glowed with healthiness; the large watery eyes with their different colors emitted an ethereal radiance. Faer’s self-esteem still had a long way to go, but he was now able to evaluate himself objectively. The fact that he was now a model and a contestant in a modeling competition, he could glean that his looks weren’t as bad as he had thought. Right now, he could appreciate that his eyes were his most outstanding feature and he would use them to his advantage.

Though having good looks were important in this industry, you also had to have a personality that resonated with other people if you wanted to get far. With looks like his that were slightly feminine and gave people an otherworldly feel, he decided that instead of looking seductive like everyone else, being pure and cute would benefit him more this time around. The shrewd light behind his eyes disappeared, and what could now be seen in the mirror was a naïve and lovable person who could shake the hearts of many.

The cameraman could only shake his head as it was now the third night but this guy did the same thing every night. He’d shower then go to sleep, not even socializing with the other contestants. With nothing of interest here, the cameraman went to the pool where the other models congregated, he’d have lots of footage here.

Under his blanket, Faer called out to God in his head but he got no response. What he did get, however, was a familiar blue screen.

Top Three

Mission: God gave you such looks for free, to not be a disgrace, get in the top three.

Reward: Random skill/item

Failure to complete the mission will result in the loss of a Talent.

The appearance of the mission caught him off guard but then he smiled as he had already decided to be in the top three. This only made it more challenging, so Faer was perfectly fine with it.

Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind and comfortably laying on his stomach, Faer fell asleep.
