I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 265 – Special Item: The Grass

Chapter 265 Special Item: The Grass-Eating Iron Pot

Su Yang turned on the system, and all the items in the house all suddenly surfaced with a translucent [+], including, of course, the black iron pot.

Su Yang picked up the iron pot in front of him, measured it for a moment, and tapped the [+] on top of it. As it shimmered from the point addition, the process was completed without any further prompts.

It seems like there shouldn't be any little monsters or particularly awesome special items appearing.

Su Yang put the iron pot on the ground, then took out the (Small Bench that Refuses to Eat Melon) from the pocket dimension, sat down, and cracked open a melon.

I have to say, of the melon foods that came with the small bench, melon seeds were the best. You could even choose your flavors! From five spice, plain ones and even creamy ones depending on what you're feeling that day. Besides, they all tasted pretty good. If the bench didn't come with melon seeds, but soybean curd instead, it'd be even better. You'd be helping yourself to the soybean curd no matter your preferences. Be it a sweet, salty, spicy or even cilantro tooth, you'll enjoy an unrivaled taste bursting in your mouth.

Su Yang thought blindly while bored, waiting patiently for the interface of the item to appear.

After a while, the interface for the iron pot hadn't popped up yet but his phone beeped with a message notification. Su Yang picked it up, took a look and saw that it was sent by Lin Jiali. (Su Yang! You're a god! Our company actually assigned me a new agent today! It's our company's top manager!) Su Yang cracked open a melon seed and replied, [Oh, that's great. But… Your company has a top manager?]

Lin Jiali was speechless. […]

Su Yang didn't care about her silence and sent another message, (Aren't you the most popular artiste in your company? Shouldn't you already have the best manager working for you?]

Lin Jiali replied with a crying emoji. [No. Our company's top manager is actually highly-ranked. The top manager actually has a very high status and is the vice president of the company. She usually deals with the company's affairs and doesn't personally manage newcomers. The last time she managed a newcomer was… Han Yi.)

'Han Yi?' Su Yang was surprised. (You guys are in the same agency?] Lin Jiali replied, [I should probably tell you we first got to know each other at a management company. I was her senior so that's why our relationship was always good. She entered the company two years after I did, and I was already the company's top artiste at the time.]

(However, as soon as she entered the company, Sister Chu felt that she was a star and she was moved.]

(She hadn't been an agent for years, so she took it upon herself to make a comeback and manage Han Yi. Han Yi's first role was in 'Diamond Love', where I was cast as the main character. Sister Chu cast her as the second female lead in the show, and it went viral.]

[The second film was still personally chosen for her by Sister Chu. Although it was still a supporting role, it was still a big hit and made her super popular).

Su Yang quietly looked at WeChat, somewhat understanding Lin Jiali's feelings for Han Yi. It was a feeling that was intimate and jealous at the same time.

Su Yang asked, (Then why did she end up leaving your company?]

Lin Jiali sent a sighing emoji. [It was because she got recruited to join another company.]

Su Yang replied with a question mark, [?]

Lin Jiali continued, [After Little Yi became super popular, many companies were interested in and wanted to poach her. Then, one of the country's top popular actresses just opened a studio and offered an astronomical signing fee along with various resources to Little Yi.]

[As you know, our company hasn't been very active in the industry. The two bosses don't really care about the growth of the company and without support from the company, Sister Chu and Sister Tan's could only do so much with their connections and resources. It was a miracle that Little Yi has reached a second-tier position. After all, she only starred in two supporting roles. Since she continued growing her career, it was very difficult for the company to retain her.]

(Little Yi was very hesitant. Sister Chu urged her to leave, but Sister Tan disagreed. The two of them had a big argument and finally, Sister Chu talked her through and let Little Yi go. Naturally, Little Yi's breach of contract and termination fee was paid in full. In fact, they paid even more than what the contract required just to thank Sister Chu.]

(Ever since that incident, Sister Tan lost her passion and Sister Chu was disheartened. They made Han Yi's career, but ruined their own.]

Su Yang was speechless.

'These two… Right.' Su Yang didn't know how to evaluate them. (All I can say is that everyone has their own ideas and their own way of doing things.] 'Young Master Ying completely abandoned the subsidiary company in the first place. He neither managed it, nor did he give any support or resources to support it. I guess that was the reason why it was quite hurtful to an up and coming star like Han Yi. However, isn't there a better way?'

Su Yang continued, (So that's the reason why you have such complicated feelings for Han Yi?]

Lin Jiali sent a smiling emoji. (I don't think I'm that noble. I just hate it. Although I felt like the company was in shambles before, it still felt like a company. However, after her contract was terminated, it felt more like a nursing home.]

(I also want to prove that I can succeed despite staying with this company, that I didn't depend on connections to make it in this industry.]

After a while, Lin Jiali continued, (Okay. No one actually wants me either. If someone headhunted me and the conditions were good, I might have left too.]

(People are always noble when things don't happen to them.)

(When it does happen to them, they'd all be like commoners that accepted what came their way.)

(I think that's the actual reason I'm jealous.)

[I'm jealous of her.]

(But this doesn't affect our feelings and relationship.]

Finally she concluded, [Maybe women are just complicated and strange creatures.]

Su Yang was silent for a while after reading Lin Jiali's message.

He didn't reply to her, but sent a WeChat to Lin Jiali's original agent, Su Yang's current love interest, Li Zijun. (What's your take on Lin Jiali as a star? From a professional point of view, what's the difference between her and Han Yi?]

Li Zijun replied quickly to her boss's message. A minute later, she replied his WeChat message. (Talent, temperament, personality, charm, and multifaceted abilities.]

(Lin Jiali is the kind of person who makes you feel like she's a star at a glance. However, she doesn't have her own distinct personality, and has no unique labels to make her memorable. To be frank, seeing her would only make you think she's a beautiful woman, and all beautiful women look like this.]

[Plus, her talent isn't outstanding. Whether it's acting or singing, she's merely average. Her temperament is a bit too bright, so it'd be easy to create distance and it'd make it easy for people to overlook her strength as well. It'll be hard for her to be popular unless it was attracting a group of lustful male fans.)

(Han Yi was different. She had a rare kind of fresh girlishness to her. That kind of temperament is very suitable for an actress. As long as anyone in the industry had that temperament, they'd at least be ranked as a second-tier star or above as long as they could act well. That, and she had a talent for acting and singing along with a likable personality. That made it easy for her to land good films and roles, and that was why she was and is so popular).

(Both being actors at the same time, Lin Jiali's temperament doomed her to have to act very well so the audience could focus on her character instead of her appearance. Han Yi, on the other hand, could still excel in a role that suited her even if her acting skills weren't as good due to her temperament. Because of this, she could gain popularity.]

[Put simply, Lin Jiali is a flower vase, while Han Yi has the potential to become a star.]

Su Yang merely asked a casual question. Who would know that Li Zijun would actually send so many messages filled with long explanations to him. Su Yang was stunned.

In his heart, he had always thought that Lin Jiali and Han Yi were stars. There was no difference. He didn't expect there to actually be such a big difference between both women.

'It seems like Lin Jiali has a long way to go if she wants to overtake Han Yi.

'However, now that I know Han Yi is from my company. I wonder if I can take her back under my wing.'

While Su Yang was deel in thought, the interface finally appeared on the iron pot.

[Iron Pot +1: Acquired a new special ability. Confirm?]

Su Yang felt that the stupid system was getting slower and slower. It was like someone who was living in the 5G era using a 2G network. It was time to use gold points for another upgrade. 'I really don't know what new features will come out after the next system addition.'

Thinking like that, Su Yang clicked on the appraisal, and a new interface popped up on the iron pot two seconds later.

[Special Item: Grass-Eating Iron Pot]

Ability: Write the name of the food you want on a blade of grass, put it in the iron pot, cover it, cook it on the stove for 1 minute, open the pot, and you'll get the food you want.

Note 1: Remember to put the blades of grass on the plate.

Note 2: It's real food, so feel free to eat it.

'Simple and straightforward. A very effective ability.' Su Yang felt like this practical power was made specifically for the sake of his mouth! Now, he could finally say goodbye to Little Deeny's (Happy Fried Egg]!

He had been eating Little Deeny's terrible cuisine for three months, and always felt that if he continued eating it, he really might die a sudden death.

He had always felt that Little Deeny dared to cook so many terrible dishes because they had Sanque in the house so nobody would be able to die.

Ever since Little Deeny became a shut-in in the house to study artificial intelligence, Su Yang would no longer see anything when he woke up, even the fried eggs that fell on the floor. Although the little monster beans were diligent, they couldn't cook so he could only munch on dry slices of bread.

'Now… I can finally have a proper meal!'

Su Yang was ecstatic.

However, he would need to write words on blades of grass to use this pot. Since there was no grass at home, Su Yang decided to go down to look for it.

After going downstairs, Su Yang climbed onto the flower bed, looking for a wider blade of grass when his phone suddenly rang.

Now, Little Deeny was busy every day so there was no one to notify him. Su Yang picked up his phone and answered the call.

The phone connected, and a voice sounded. It was one that Su Yang was incomparably familiar with over the past few days. The voice was deep like a growling beast, “You think you're so great just because you really fucking think you can fight well?!

“No matter how great you are at fighting, do you think you can fight a gun? You're good at fighting, but are you parents good at fighting as well?!

“Duchang County's Houhu Village at Jiujiang Province, am I right? Heh-heh-heh.”

Su Yang's eyes glazed over as blood rushed to his forehead. His fists were so fiercely clenched that his knuckles whitened from the lack of blood flowing.

The voice continued over the phone, “Let's see who survives in the end. I hope you don't regret it!”

“Beep… Beep… Beep…” Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Su Yang's eyes were on fire. However, he suddenly smiled half a heartbeat later.

Whenever he wanted to calm down and do something simple and relaxing, there would always be a few unsightly people who'd come to provoke him.

'Sigh.. People nowadays… Always looking for trouble. They're going to dig their own grave.'
