After Transmigrating Into The Body Of A Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character, I Stumbled Into A Shura Field - Chapter 4

Even if you beat Sister Wang to death, she wouldn’t believe how eventful Su Yining’s night had been—just as she’d dropped off the trending topics, she was sent right back up.

And the situation was truly absurd.

Due to the Martial Soul’s mandatory requirements, Su Yining exercised after eating instant noodles. Suddenly, she thought she might as well do something meaningful. Since there were many tourists near the film set hotel, litter was inevitable. Su Yining figured that cleaning up the environment while exercising wouldn’t be a waste of time.

But what Su Yining hadn’t anticipated was that while cleaning up, she found an unremarkable yet surprisingly heavy plastic bag nestled in the bushes. Inside were over a hundred thousand yuan in cash.

“…Holy cow, holy cow.” Su Yining couldn’t help but applaud herself. She asked the System, “System, why don’t you just tell the truth? I didn’t get the supporting character script—I got the protagonist script, didn’t I?!”

[Current situation is unrelated to the plot.]

Su Yining’s enthusiasm instantly plummeted.

******

In the next moment, she pulled out her phone and checked the map for the address of the local police station.

The System asked doubtfully, [Are you not short on money right now? Are you seriously going to turn in found money?]

“You don’t understand,” Su Yining said to the System, trying to reassure herself.

“There’s a law of conservation of moral character. The money I found here might have been ‘earned’ by sacrificing my moral character…”

“Of course! If you’d told me this money was a gift from you, I would have pocketed it immediately!” Su Yining said eagerly to the System.

“Money or no money, I don’t want to disappoint your kindness!”

[What a strange way to cry out for meat… But unfortunately, that’s not the case.]

Su Yining checked her bank balance and sighed. Compared to the hundred thousand yuan, after some hesitation, she still chose to go to the police station.

She threw the bag of trash she had picked up into the trash bin and walked toward the police station, clutching the bag of money.

******

Su Yining never imagined that this incident would be captured by paparazzi and spun into several versions of exaggerated stories, trending on social media.

However, the trend quickly fizzled out. When Su Yining arrived at the set the next day, the director teased her a bit about it.

The crew quickly settled into work mode.

Su Yining was undoubtedly a talented actress. Some scenes only needed to be explained once by the director before she could fully embody the role. As the number of retakes increased, her acting quality skyrocketed at an astonishing rate, fueled by her exceptional comprehension.

She was like a precious gem that had never been discovered. Before joining this production, Su Yining’s previous roles had garnered little attention, allowing her critics to comfortably label her as a “pretty face with no talent.”

“Her future is bright,” the director mused, sitting behind the monitor.

The crew members nearby nodded in agreement, sighing appreciatively.

Deep down, everyone shared the same thought: “Su Yining grew here, with us.”

******

This realization gave the director and crew members a greater sense of accomplishment.

Xiao Yingchu was the one who most clearly sensed Su Yining’s transformation.

For the next scene, which was to be broadcast live to the media, everyone was preparing intensively.

It was a street chase scene. Su Yining’s character, discovered by pursuers during a rendezvous, fled into the courtyard where Xiao Yingchu and her colleagues were exchanging intelligence.

The moonlight that night was exceptionally bright. The girl being chased, like the moon descending from the heavens, looked up tearfully at Xiao Yingchu.

“Sister, my stepfather… he’s after me. I barely managed to escape. Please help me.”

Xiao Yingchu stared silently at Su Yining, the atmosphere tense to the breaking point. Finally, she nodded.

That moment marked the beginning of their bond, as well as the start of their tangled, inextricable connection. What Xiao Yingchu couldn’t have known was that this angelic girl held a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing. The moment Xiao Yingchu showed any sign of danger, the blade would be at her throat, swift and fatal.

Su Yining had always been far more ruthless than she appeared.

*****

The production team accepted an interview request from an entertainment media outlet. Due to the recent popularity of the “Fake Wives” trope, the media asked if they could live stream footage from today’s shoot to generate buzz for the upcoming release.

After discussing it, the production team agreed to the request. To minimize disruptions on set, they settled on a plan where a host would conduct a live stream using a handheld camera.

Since it was a live broadcast, everyone was on high alert, even the director, who couldn’t help but become more meticulous.

“Hello everyone! Today we’re visiting the set of Two Lives Flower . Feel free to share your thoughts and questions in the chat!”

[Sister! Sister! Sister! I’m here!]

[Where’s Sister Xiao? Woooo!]

[Just like Fake Wives… they’re not even standing together during rehearsals. When will they finally get closer?!]

[What a pretty vase.]

[Why is that clingy girl still here…? #Speechless]

[Wow, she’s really on set! Your makeup looks stunning today, darling!]

“You guys are so enthusiastic!” Cai Cai, the entertainment host, zoomed in with the camera. “Looks like the director is giving instructions. Let’s sneak closer and see what’s happening.”

This scene featured Su Yining. As the camera focused on her, her flawless face filled the frame, revealing not a single flaw.

[I love Su Yining’s beauty!]

[Su Yining’s professional skills are basically just her looks. There’s nothing else to commend.]

[A vase is still a vase. She’s about to embarrass herself, isn’t she?]

[Why are they filming her? What about Sister Xiao?! Who wants to watch someone with terrible acting skills perform?!]

Cai Cai adjusted the camera to the perfect angle, thinking that after filming Su Yining, she could also capture some behind-the-scenes footage. As for why Cai Cai was filming Su Yining… well, Cai Cai was one of Su Yining’s haters, and Su Yining still had a bit of popularity to spare. Nothing beats live-streaming Su Yining’s acting fail as explosive entertainment news.

The street chase scene was lengthy. During Su Yining’s first run, lacking experience, the Director explained the scene: “You’ll run into the alley from this entrance, desperately searching for an escape route, because if you’re caught, you’ll face brutal punishment—

After running for so long, you’re starting to tire. At this point, you begin considering the possibility of entering a civilian’s house—

When you reach this intersection, the pursuers’ footsteps grow closer. Just then, a bullet whizzes through the air. You dodge it in slow motion, finally escaping into a courtyard. Understood?”

Su Yining nodded.

*****

The scene began.

Su Yining ran faster than anyone had imagined. Her escape was like a frantic drumbeat, making hearts tense with each pounding beat!

Run! Run!

Everyone held their breath, watching Su Yining on the surveillance screen. Even though they knew the outcome, they couldn’t help but silently pray for her escape.

Until Su Yining reached the intersection, and bullets suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats!

[Holy shit, why am I suddenly feeling so anxious…?]

[Run! Run! Run, baby, run!]

[Was her acting this good before?!?]

Su Yining moved!

Her movements slowed, as if… she was in slow motion.

…That’s right, Su Yining had entered slow motion. After the tense, rapid-fire rhythm of “rat-tat-tat-tat-tat,” she began moving in slow motion: “rat—tat—rat—tat—.” Then, she snapped out of slow motion and darted into the courtyard.

“Su Yining?! What are you doing?!” The Director shot to his feet behind the monitor, stunned.

“I’m… in slow motion?” Su Yining looked at the Director with innocent, deer-like eyes.

A moment of silence hung in the air.

“…Pfft.” The assistant director couldn’t suppress a chuckle, his shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter. The live stream viewers and other crew members on set snapped out of their daze as if waking from a dream—

[Holy shit, I finally understand what a “beautiful idiot” means…]

[To be honest, my heart melted when she looked at the camera just now.]

[Babe, you’re perfect! That was slow motion, ha ha ha ha ha!]

[A tree squirrel in human form, ha ha ha ha!]

[The director specifically said to go slow motion, slow motion, but the babe listened too well, ha ha ha ha!]

[What can I say? She’s still so cute.]

[Quick, look at the director! Is he trembling with anger?]

In the corner of the live stream screen, a glimpse of the director’s trembling body was visible.

The director’s shoulders shook uncontrollably as he forced out a steady voice: “Great. Let’s do it again.” He quickly added, “No slow motion this time.”

Su Yining nodded, and the director slumped back behind the monitor.

[The director’s mad, huh? A vase is still just a vase.]

[You calling her a vase? Did you even see her acting earlier? You can donate those eyes of yours.]

[But she’s really made the director this angry… He’s not going to cry, is he?]

Cai Cai watched the online comments, then quietly adjusted the live stream camera. She was actually curious to see if the director was really furious. But when she turned the camera around—

The director was watching the screen with the volume muted, roaring with laughter!

[…Am I going deaf?]

[I can’t decide what’s funnier—the director’s silent laughter or her deliberate slow-motion replay.]

[Hahahahahaha! Did you catch Teacher Xiao’s shocked expression in the corner just now?]

[I’ve never seen Sister Xiao stunned speechless before! Hahaha! Truly deserving of the name “Ning”!]

“Alright,” the director’s voice still trembled from his earlier laughter. “Let’s do another take and get a few more shots.”

Su Yining swiftly and efficiently filmed the scene again.

******

Cai Cai’s live broadcast camera remained fixed on Su Yining. Even under the spotlight of the live stream, Su Yining’s performance grew increasingly polished with each take.

Cai Cai had previously disliked Su Yining, even secretly circulating numerous negative articles about her. But today, she couldn’t help but admire Su Yining’s professionalism.

The alley scene was filmed in one continuous shot each time. Su Yining’s unwavering determination seemed to radiate through the camera, inspiring viewers beyond the frame.

Cai Cai keenly observed that Su Yining’s movements grew increasingly fluid and natural with each attempt, flowing like water, as if the skills were second nature to her.

As Cai Cai stood momentarily dazed, Su Yining approached with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling like spring sunlight.

“Teacher Cai Cai,” she greeted, “want to grab lunch together? I heard today’s box meals are delicious!”

Cai Cai, still holding the small live broadcast camera, mumbled in a daze, “Oh, sure… yes.”

For some reason, Cai Cai’s heart was pounding wildly.
