Crosstalk: Stop playing with your uncle!

Chapter 4 Upgraded Software
After the topic of joining Deyun Society passed, Guo Degang and Qi Long, brothers who had not seen each other for a while, turned around and chatted about family matters until Guo Degang was about to go on stage.

After Lao Guo came on stage, Qi Long sat on the side stage, listening to crosstalk while opening the mysterious software on his mobile phone.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

There were 1,200 audience members at this crosstalk tour, and he won more than 800 coins. He achieved coin freedom in just one performance. From now on, can't he watch whatever videos he wants?

A red dot in the upper right corner of the software caught Qi Long's attention.

After clicking on the red dot, there was a line of words on the top: [The software can be updated. After the update, additional functions will be added. Do you want to spend 100 coins to update and upgrade? ]

Can it be updated?

But your software is too bad, isn't it? Updates are not free for users, and users have to pay coins?

What's more, we have 800 coins now anyway, so it doesn't hurt to update it. He was very curious about the added functions and wanted to know what other effects this magical software that can play videos from parallel worlds has.

After clicking the update button, the phone screen went black and an update progress bar appeared.

I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect the update bar to move so quickly and it was completed in a short while.

Qi Long couldn't wait to open the updated software, and the new content of the software update appeared on the screen.

【1. The variety show area and music area are unlocked, and users can watch them for entertainment by inserting coins. Each episode of the variety show costs 30 coins, and each song costs 3 coins.】

Variety shows and songs from another world? Kind of interesting.

When Qi Long used this software to watch crosstalk from another world, he heard pieces like "Learning Songs". Some of the songs in the piece existed in this world, and even the names of the singers were similar.

But there are also some songs that obviously have a good response from the audience and are obviously popular songs, but he has never heard of them.

Since it was part of the crosstalk "Learning Songs", he only listened to excerpts of those songs. He was more curious about the whole song, and now he can listen to it.

As for variety shows, I'm not really interested.

What’s the point of variety shows?
Isn’t it just chatting in the studio, doing interviews, and promoting the works that are about to be released? What’s so good about it?

[2. After the upgrade, users can also earn coins if they perform off-site and the audience gives sincere praise after the performance is spread online. The amount of coins earned by each off-site audience member is only 0.01]

Don’t underestimate it, it’s not a small amount.

Now is the information age, everyone is attached to their mobile phones, and the number of viewers is surprisingly large.

If it's played a million times and 500,000 of them liked it, that would be 5,000 coins!
good very good!

【3. The lucky wheel is turned on, and ten coins are awarded each time you spin it! 】

Qi Long, who didn't know what the turntable was for, opened the lucky turntable option in the software. Inside was a thing that was rotating like a Ferris wheel, and there was something on each seat of the Ferris wheel.

If you throw 10 coins, you will get one of them according to the probability.

57.51%得到1枚硬币；26.20%得到5枚硬币；14%得到10枚硬币。

After seeing this introduction, Qi Long was speechless. This is really a rip-off.

All in all, 80% are losses, and the remaining 10% are neither losses nor gains. If you want to make a profit, you can only take the 2.something percent probability?

Continue reading 2% below to randomly unlock a season of the variety show (360 episodes, worth coins).

With your probability, I may not win even if I draw thirty-six times, so I might as well just buy it!
0.23% Unlock a one-week pass for watching the entire site (value is inestimable)
This really made Qi Long feel excited. He could find a week to just lie at home and prepare some melon seeds and snacks, and spend the week there without having to worry about coins. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Finally, there is a 0.06% chance of receiving a mysterious gift (click for details).

Then you must take a look.

After Qi Long clicked it, he saw a list of mysterious gifts.

What is physical fitness improvement? It means that the body becomes better and healthier without fitness. What is kidney treasure without side effects? Many middle-aged men need it at night.

Things that can resist cold and heat, improve memory, enhance observation, and enhance sense of space.

There are all kinds of drugs that can temporarily or permanently improve people's abilities in various aspects. It is obvious that they are not products of Blue Planet.

In addition to this, there are also cards such as the God Emperor Experience Card and the Movie Emperor Experience Card, which can bring one's certain performing skills to the pinnacle in a short period of time.

This is only a temporary improvement. There are also permanent improvements, such as the singing course. The introduction above says that if you draw a video course to unlock the singing course, you can upgrade your singing skills by watching it carefully.

There are a wide variety of courses available, including singing, acting, physiognomy, comedy, cooking, driving, etc.

It's a lucky draw indeed.
I was extremely lucky to have drawn a gift pack with a probability of 0.06%, and the items in the gift pack came out randomly.

If you come up with a kidney treasure that I can't use now, it's useless.
Fortunately, these things are in the fourth function of the software. You can buy them directly in the member purchase. The price starts from 1,000 coins temporarily and 10,000 coins permanently after learning.
Qi Long, who had been feeling complacent about the 800 coins before, now felt a sense of urgency that the coins were far from enough.

I have to find a way to earn more coins.

He kept clicking the back button, trying to go back and check out the music section, but when he turned back from the turntable, a pop-up window appeared.

[Ten more draws will win a mysterious gift! ]

Is there a guarantee?

Aren't you always trying to bet on a 0.06% probability?
Then give it a try!

As Qi Long made ten consecutive draws, the items he obtained appeared on the screen, 13 coins and a mysterious gift.

Seeing the lottery result, Qi Long was silent.

Oh my god, except for the guaranteed bet, I lost money in the other nine times. I only got one coin eight times and five coins once.
He clicked on the mysterious gift: a teaching video of opera singing (after learning, you can reach the level of being proficient in opera singing, and a temporary experience card for proficient in opera singing is included)

This is good!
Traditional folk art is inseparable, and there are many opera pieces in crosstalk that require learning to sing. You don’t need to sing as well as professional opera actors, but it can’t be too bad to listen to. If it is bad, you can only use it crookedly.

With a happy mood, Qi Long clicked the return button again, and the window popped up again:

[30 more draws will win a mysterious gift]

The guaranteed price is still rising? Sorry to bother you, bye bye!

Returning to the music section, there was a wide variety of songs I had never heard of.

Qi Long had just obtained an opera singing experience card, so he searched for opera singing, and a song called "Looking into the Window" caught his attention.

I remember that when I was watching a long crosstalk including the encore, an audience member shouted this name and wanted to hear the crosstalk actor sing it. The crosstalk actor sang a few lines and the melody was very good, which left some impression on Qi Long.

Put on your headphones, click play, and a MV starts playing.

It’s obvious that this MV is not performed by humans, but the drawings are very realistic, a bit like it was created by artificial intelligence.

As the lyrics progress, the story slowly unfolds.

The man and woman were childhood sweethearts. The man was going to Beijing to take an imperial examination and said he would come back to marry her.

Later, the man didn't see the woman again, because she couldn't bear the longing and traveled far away to find him.

Many years later, the woman became an actress and the man passed the imperial examination and were about to get married. The two met on and off the stage, but the man below could not recognize the woman he once loved deeply.

[She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and every word and every step was filled with longing. The people in the audience were named on the imperial examination, but they did not recognize the old acquaintance on the stage.]
