Valentina quickly showered and dressed in the same clothes she was previously wearing. She quickly looked around the hotel and made sure she hadn’t left anything behind, then she left. Thankfully the original Valentina had brought a facemask so her face wouldn’t be completely exposed.
She quickly headed down to the lobby to check out of the hotel. She didn’t want to be charged for staying an extra night. Thankfully, she was able to checkout out with no problem and left without meeting anybody she knew.
She quickly called a taxi and instructed the driver to head to the grocery store close to her apartment. Although it wasn’t the best store, she wanted to get home quickly since she wanted to regroup and plan for tomorrow. Additionally, this body was really too weak! Just walking those few steps had taken a lot out of her.
After arriving at the store, she grabbed a basket and walked around filling it with produce and some meat. As she struggled to carry the basket, a random man approached her while blushing. “Miss, would you like me to carry that for you? I can help you pay for it and even take it home for you.”
Valentina stared up and the man’s blushing face in confusion. Not wanting to be rude, she replied “No thank you” before turning away.
Unfortunately, before she could go pay several more men approached her with the same request to carry her basket and help her take it home.
Feeling confused, at the sudden turn of events, she headed forward to pay before a girl in a trench coat shoulder checked her before muttering. “You must think you’re so cute, acting weak and seducing the men like that. Who do you think you’re fooling?”
When the lady hit her, Valentina immediately fell backwards, the contents of her basket falling all around her. She glared up at the woman from her position on the floor and fiercely said, “You apologize, why would you hit me.”
The girl glared at her again before snorting and responding, “Continue to pretend. It was clearly an accident, yet you’re acting as if I tackled you.”
Before Valentina could retort, people started to crowd around and point fingers at the woman.
“How could you bully a poor child!
“Look how rude you are! Who raised you?”
“Wow, girls these days are so abusive. How could you shove down a stranger.”
Valentina couldn’t help but look at all the people defending her in shock. Who knew people were so kind in this new world! She didn’t realize that it was because of her good looks and the graceful movement body. Right now, even though she was dressed simply in a simple white dress, long peacoat, and loafers, the elegance of her moves attracted a lot of attention.
Add in the beauty of her figure, the youthful ponytail combined with her masked face where only her brows and eyes were showing, it was very intriguing and made people want to see more.
Since the graceful movement body had a chance of triggering the over protectiveness of people, when they saw her struggling to carry her basket and being pushed by the woman, they felt the urge to protect here as if she were their little sister or daughter. She was quickly helped up by an older woman while other people helped her pickup the items that dropped.
The girl who pushed her was being scolded by the crowd and was almost in tears.
Thanking those who helped her, Valentina quickly pushed her body to rush forward to pay. She then called a taxi and quickly escaped to her apartment. This effect was way too scary, okay? It was better to be safe than sorry incase a crazy person decided to go overboard and do something to her.
When she got home, she quickly unpacked everything she got while lightly panting. This body of hers was really too weak!
She made herself a quick dinner of rice and beef stir fry before plopping down in her living room.
Her apartment was a 1ldk that was less than 600 sq. ft. It was lightly furnished and neat looking with no personal style.
The reason Valentina lived there was because it was heavily discounted by the agency she was tied too. It was in an okay part of town, and the building security wasn’t too bad, so a lot of upcoming artists stayed here.
After cleaning everything up, she browsed through her phone for any hints that could help her. although she had some memories of this body, somethings were still a bit blurry in her mind.
The only message she had come from the general company manager that loosely assisted her. The original Valentina was luckily signed to a top entertainment company Black Rock Entertainment due to her facial beauty.
It was the same company that Aaliyah, her fake sister was signed to as well.
However due to her poor performance and suppression from the top, she never got resources or roles. She didn’t even have a manager to herself!
Just somebody who helped with paperwork and sent out reminder for all the low rank members.
Valentina had looked into breaking her contract and possibly switching to another entertainment company where she would be unknown, but the contract breaking fee was something she couldn’t afford.
The message told her not to be late for the filming tomorrow and the schedule for the next couple day. Since she was such a low ranked artist, she would have to find her own way to the film location.
Thankfully money wasn’t an issue. Although she wasn’t close to her birth family, they had sent her a decent lump sum amount when she had first met them, which allowed her to be able to live decently. As Valentina mentally prepared herself for tomorrow, she heard a sound.
[Ding!]
[First Main Task has been assigned!]
[Gain the acknowledgement of 100 people]
[Reward: 1 Lucky Draw and Peaches and Cream Complexion Effect]
[Time limit: 60 days]
[Task has been automatically accepted]
[If the task is failed, a penalty will be added to host][Sub-task has been assigned - Gain the Directors Approval]
[Reward: Hidden Reward]
“What the? How am I supposed to gain people’s acknowledgement? And even the directors? Give me more details!” Valentina almost shouted
[Host should do your best to complete the task]
Valentina swore that she could sense a smug sarcastic vibe from the system. But no matter how much she pestered it, it just kept giving the same answer. She decided to change tactics. The incident in the grocery store had concerned her quite a bit so she asked. “Hey, what happened at the store…was it because of the graceful body movement effect?”
[Yes. This effect has a chance of triggering overprotective traits in people not antagonistic to the host. The likelihood of this effect triggering is higher among men and people older than the host. Use this skill well]
“Isn’t this like manipulating people against their will? I don’t like such a thing. Take it away.”
[……] the system was silent for a moment. This was the first time it had ever met a host that wanted to throw away a skill. What kind of crazy host had it ended up with?
[It’s impossible to take back a skill once accepted]
“Are you lying?” for some reason, Valentina didn’t believe the system.
[No. Once an effect is applied to the host, it cannot be removed. And all effects must be applied when drawn.][I suggest host head to bed early to preserve your strength for tomorrow]
Feeling as if the system was trying to shut her up, Valentina considered asking a couple more questions, but she let out a big yawn. Maybe the system was right, she should get some rest. Tomorrow would be a long day.
