RBCT Chapter 1: First Order
Chapter 1: First Order
Li Mo looked at the semi-transparent blue light screen in front of him.
[The Universal Order Taking System 2026 Mini-Version is now activated]
[Rules Summary: The past can be undone, and the future can be changed! Complete the order of the person who placed the order, change their future, and you will receive a reward.]
[Note: All orders are placed by female celebrities from 2026. The richness of the rewards depends on the difficulty of the commission, and may include equipment and information with specific abilities.]
For some reason, he always felt that his system was a bit...unorthodox! It seemed to be hinting at something all the time?
Li Mo walked into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and the cold water poured over his body, making him even more certain that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.
Li Mo looked at the twenty-year-old face reflected in the mirror. The features were three-dimensional, and the eyes were cold and melancholy. But in the entertainment industry, which values connections, resources, and background, this was a different story.
This face can obviously play a limited role, at least not in the case of Li Mo's unwillingness to abandon his moral principles.
After all, Li Mo really didn't want to discuss life with a pig like Zhu Bajie late at night!
Li Mo worked very hard to get rid of those persistent pig-like creatures as soon as possible!
He participated in every opportunity he could, and he paid every penny of the tolls he could. To make a living, he even had to work as a model.
It was precisely because of this persistence that Yang Mi finally saw him by chance.
But that's all. To this day, Li Mo remains a nobody in the entertainment industry.
The inability to obtain what one desires is a recurring theme in the lives of most people!
Li Mo is like this, as are others in the entertainment industry. The era of internet traffic is coming, but only a small group of people in the center of the stage can actually get a share of it!
[Ding~ You have a new order, please check it.]
A pleasant sound suddenly flashed through Li Mo's mind, and he hurriedly checked it.
Urumqi is 2000 kilometers away from Beijing, which is the distance between me and my hometown.
[In which year did I not get used to spending my birthday alone, not get used to having no friends, not get used to so many things...]
[Give her an unforgettable birthday – order now in 2026!]
Is it Dilraba? Is today her birthday?
Upon seeing the name, Li Mo raised an eyebrow, a few pieces of information flashing through his mind.
An image of a girl with exotic charm and a radiant, undeveloped beauty appeared in his mind.
A girl from Xinjiang province, she stood out in the crowd. She had a gentle personality and seemed easy to control.
Reba hasn't been with the company for long, and is currently just a nobody like me.
I remember that on her first day there, Li Mo took her around the company, perhaps because Li Mo was the first person to show her friendliness.
Reba had the most contact with Li Mo within the company, and the two could be considered friends.
"Those who can place orders are all future actresses. Turns out she's already a big star!"
"And what about myself?"
Li Mo couldn't help but think about it, but he didn't dwell on it too much.
He took out his phone and dialed Dilraba's number.
...
Just like Zhao Liying personally recounted on the show how she was abandoned in the deep mountains because she wasn't famous, how she was left alone on the film set during the Chinese New Year because she wasn't famous, and how she suffered long-term online harassment because she wasn't famous.
Not being famous is the original sin!
There are many lights in the entertainment industry, but none of them will belong to you.
It was already late at night, and the motion-activated lights in the corridor flickered on and off. Reba groped his way in the dark toward the rooftop that Li Mo had mentioned.
Li Mo didn't say what it was about on the phone, but because today was a bit special, Reba really didn't want to be alone.
So, he agreed to Li Mo's request and came to find him.
In the past, I would have friends around on my birthday, but this time was different.
This is an unfamiliar city, an unfamiliar life, and a group of unfamiliar people.
This group of people wouldn't care about a nobody; their eyes were all focused on the center of the stage.
But... this feeling of being forgotten is really unpleasant!
Soon, Reba arrived at the rooftop and saw a tall, slender figure leaning against the railing, with some freshly packed barbecue next to him.
Although it was late, Li Mo's handsome face was clearly visible under the moonlight.
"Here!" Li Mo waved to her, beckoning her over.
"The night is quite nice tonight."
"Hmm, not bad, today is a good day." Li Mo said, looking up at the moonlight.
Good days, huh? You wouldn't remember them!
Reba snorted and shook her head, changing the subject: "Have you heard? The crew of 'Swords of Legends' is coming to cast actors."
"I know, but it doesn't really concern us. The lead actors have all been cast, and Zhang Yunlong, Gao Weiguang, and the others are still vying for the remaining roles." Li Mo opened a bottle of beer and took a sip.
Reba pursed her lips. She actually thought the same as Li Mo. Both of them were newcomers to the company, and it would be too difficult to compete with the group of veterans.
Life's misfortunes always seem to strike especially hard on your most special days!
"Feeling down? Want a bottle?" Li Mo noticed that her expression was a little gloomy, so he opened a bottle of beer and handed it to her.
Reba didn't refuse and took a few big gulps of beer, instantly feeling better.
After drinking beer, Reba started to open up and began to vent the negative energy in his heart.
"Li Mo, do you think I'm not suitable to be an actress? I'm neither gentle nor pretty, and I'm Uyghur, so my appearance is somewhat different from that of Han Chinese, making it difficult for me to get roles."
"How could that be? Your fellow townsman, Gulnazar, has taken on so many roles!"
"Well, I have a bad temper, and my mood is written all over my face..."
"That's just your personality!"
"But I'm fat!"
"That's called a voluptuous beauty!"
"Well, I'm a bit crazy, and sometimes incredibly lazy..."
"That's called knowing how to enjoy life and not caring what others think!"
...
Reba had never realized before how enjoyable it was to chat with Li Mo. The more she talked, the more her lips curled up in a smile.
Even the furrowed brows that were gazing at the moon relaxed slightly.
Li Mo turned his head and looked at her quietly, recalling the line of text she left behind in 2026.
The young girl, who had just left home, was having a rough time in her career and was spending her birthday alone with no one to confide in.
It's no wonder she placed an order wanting to make a change.
He then patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Trust me, you'll definitely become famous."
"Yeah! You too! You have to be even more famous than me... ideally, famous all over the world!" Dilraba held up her beer, gesturing exaggeratedly.
However, because Dilraba was wearing an extremely fitted white T-shirt and high-waisted wide-leg pants, the fitted white T-shirt already accentuated her upper body, and combined with Dilraba's exaggerated movements at that moment.
This girl is quite something!
No wonder people say she's fat; she really knows how to gain weight!
Li Mo smiled and said, "Then I'll take your good wishes with me!"
The two clinked glasses and downed their beers in one gulp, chatting as they drank. They talked about everything from funny anecdotes of the past to their dreams for the future, from industry gossip to their outlook on the future.
The two agreed to work together, help each other, and move towards their ultimate goal!
Just then, a notification sound came through, and Reba subconsciously opened it to check.
[Agent: I have great news for you! Sister Mi has personally chosen you for the role of Fuqu in *Gu Jian Qi Tan*.]
Lotus!
Upon seeing this, Dilraba's pupils dilated instantly; she hadn't expected such a surprise today!
This is the fourth female lead!
The drama features some very good scenes.
Reba quickly typed a message to thank her manager, wanting to share this joy with Li Mo.
But the next moment, she hesitated...
The current situation is:
Xiao Li and Xiao Di both got the second-to-last place in the exam, but Xiao Li, who got the second-to-last place, offered heartwarming comfort to Xiao Di, who got the last place.
After the consolation was over, Xiao Di realized she had miscalculated her score; she had actually gotten first place!
So, what should Xiaodi say to Xiaoli at this point...?
"Dilraba! Look, what's this? Happy birthday! Quickly blow out the candles and make a wish!"
Just as she was pondering, Li Mo walked towards her, humming a birthday song as he carried a cake.
"Ah...you remember...how kind of you!"
Reba was also surprised by the unexpected cake; she really didn't expect Li Mo to remember her birthday!
If Xiao Li tears up his test paper to make Xiao Di happy, what should Xiao Di do?
Li Mo noticed that she didn't seem very happy, and then he remembered that she had just said she wanted to lose weight.
I should have ordered a fruit cake instead. Is this cream cake too fattening? Little girls don't like it!
Fortunately, I had other preparations!
"Don't mention it, I have a surprise for you, just wait a little longer!"
Goodbye!
Before Reba could respond, Li Mo quickly took out the second gift he had prepared, which was a traditional Uyghur costume.
"Look! This is a gift I specially picked out. You've been away from home for so long, and I hope wearing it will make you feel the warmth of home!"
Ah! There's another surprise!
What if Xiao Li… never mind, what if… what would Xiao Di do?
Reba's expression became even more unnatural. She was genuinely excited, but she felt even more guilty!
Li Mo noticed her unnatural expression once again.
What? Not enough!
No worries, I have a surprise for you!
"That's not all! There's another surprise—look in the sky!"
Before Reba could react, dazzling fireworks burst forth in the distance, instantly illuminating the night!
In the sky, countless streaks of light fell down, and all kinds of fireworks bloomed one after another for a full fifteen minutes!
Reba stared at the scene, her gaze lingering on it for a long time. She hadn't expected Li Mo to have prepared so much for her.
This time, her expression was different from before. Her cherry lips were slightly open, her eyes were curved, and her face was full of excitement!
Her heartbeat quickened with each burst of fireworks!
She stared blankly at Li Mo, at his angular face and his eyes that reflected the vicissitudes of life, and suddenly felt her mind in turmoil.
This awkward, heartwarming, and surprising birthday celebration has already stirred up a multitude of emotions in Dilraba.
These unexpressed emotions ultimately became a shared symbol for Dilraba and Li Mo's future.
Make a wish!
"Then I promise! I hope you won't miss any of my future birthdays! I also hope we can become big stars!"
Li Mo: I hope their birthdays can be staggered as much as possible!
As for becoming a big star, that's far from enough!
