Lin Yi originally thought he could closely observe the internal structure of the business car that a big star rides in.
Unfortunately, this time Yamagishi Eiichi drove his own car.
This made Lin Yi feel greatly disappointed.
But thinking about it carefully, compared to a business car, an ordinary car would not attract attention here.
Kogoro Mouri consciously sat in the passenger seat.
Yoko Okino, Ran, and Lin Yi naturally sat in the back seat.
Yoko Okino is 22 years old this year, and she is well-maintained, looking like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Furthermore, her amiable personality quickly bridged the gap with Xiaolan.
Consequently, Xiaolan immediately began inquiring about the life of an idol from her.
To this, Yoko Okino could only smile wryly and say, "When you first become an idol, you have to go through a lot of artistic training. Only after passing the training do you have a chance to appear on television..."
Seeing Xiaolan's interest in entering the entertainment industry, Yoko Okino shared some basic information with her.
For example, becoming an idol is not an easy task.
Especially for high school students like Xiaolan who are still in school, becoming an idol requires sacrificing a lot.
After school, she would have to go to the entertainment company for dance training, singing training, and so on.
As for club activities and personal time, from then on, they would be completely out of the question.
Basically, you just keep practicing, practicing, and practicing.
Transforming from a newbie who knows nothing into a dance expert who can start dancing as soon as they hear music.
One can imagine how much sweat is required in this process.
If you still can't imagine it, go buy a copy of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and play it. Only when you can dodge, parry, and counterattack at any time will you have the qualification to become an "idol."
With such high-intensity training, it's natural that you won't have time to maintain your interpersonal relationships.
You might lose contact with classmates you used to get along with.
Your hobbies and interests also have to be given up due to lack of time.
Not only do you have to endure high-intensity physical training, but you also have to withstand immense psychological pressure.
This alone is enough to weed out many people...
Most importantly, even if you pass the training and become an idol, it's not all smooth sailing.
If you're not loved by the audience, if you don't become popular, if you can't make money for the company, you'll be like stuck in a promotion match, extremely uncomfortable.
Giving up is not an option you're willing to take, but you can't break through either.
This is also why Lin Yi has no interest in becoming an idol.
It's just making things difficult for himself. Instead of wasting time on that, he'd rather farm more treasure chests and open up some good stuff.
Thinking of this, while his luck was still good, Lin Yi opened a normal treasure chest.
[You have opened a normal treasure chest. You have obtained Tone Optimization]
[Tone Optimization: Your voice will make you more likable.]
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, looked at Xiaolan, then at Yoko Okino, and then silently opened the remaining seven normal treasure chests.
[You have opened a normal treasure chest. You have obtained Pitch Optimization]
[...You have obtained Loudness Enhancement]
[...You have obtained Frequency Control]
[...You have obtained Musical Tone Beautification]
[...You have obtained Breath Enhancement]
[...You have obtained a bag of throat lozenges]
"... ..."
Damn?
All eight normal chests contained items related to voice!
Lin Yi was very surprised. He had just had a slight evil thought in his mind, and then they appeared!
System Bro, your hint is obvious enough!
Also.
Lin Yi glanced at Xiaolan, and he couldn't help but want to hug her and kiss her.
He felt that he was able to open these items mostly because the Luck King was by his side!
If he were to open them himself, he would be grateful to open one Tone Optimization.
[The system has detected that the host has mastered multiple voice-type skills. Do you want to synthesize them?]
Can they be synthesized?
Confirm.
[You have learned Voice Change.]
[Voice Change: You can change your voice. When you know a person's voice well, you can imitate it.]
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but get excited!
Isn't this Vermouth's signature skill? Being able to change one's voice at will!
If I add disguise to that, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want?
Lin Yi couldn't help but glance at Xiaolan again, feeling inexplicably shocked: Is this the power of the Luck King? It's really too terrifying... Shivering.
Seizing the time, Lin Yi opened the golden treasure chest again.
[You have opened the golden treasure chest. You have obtained a song.]
Huh? A song?
[A song: After use, it can automatically generate a currently popular song.]
Remember that Yoko Okino used to be a member of the girl group Earth Ladies.
This item is completely designed to win her over!
To be able to open such a timely thing... it's probably because of her, right?
Lin Yi glanced at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan felt Lin Yi's gaze, turned her head to look at him, and asked in confusion, "Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing..."
Yoko Okino is one of the most popular idols right now.
However, the apartment she lives in is just a slightly higher-end apartment, without even a security gate, hardly a luxury apartment.
Although Yoko Okino is popular, no matter how popular she is, the money she earns goes to the management company. With that big leech around, her current income is only slightly better than an average white-collar worker.
As for the other idols, needless to say, just look at how Yuko Ikezawa has to personally do bad things herself, and you can tell how miserable they are.
Taking the elevator, they arrived at the floor where Yoko Okino lived.
Lin Yi looked up at the security camera. He remembered seeing online that he could turn on his phone's camera and point it at the lights.
If you can see infrared light in the picture, it means the security camera is on.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi took out his phone and pointed it at the security camera.
Looking at the screen, there was no infrared light.
"Um? Yi, what's wrong?" Ran asked curiously after seeing Lin Yi's actions.
"The camera here is broken."
Lin Yi said, putting away his phone.
Eiichi Yamagishi glanced at Lin Yi with some surprise, nodded, and said, "Yes… it was maliciously damaged, otherwise we wouldn't have sought help from Detective Mouri."
Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you mention it to the manager?"
Eiichi Yamagishi smiled wryly: "We did… but it was useless… It was repaired last time, but it was damaged again."
As he said this, Yoko Okino's scream suddenly came.
