Super Island Tycoon

Since last night, relying on her amazing archery skills to attract everyone’s attention at the town square, Yanran gained even more popularity this morning after showing off a bit at the archery hall.

The owner himself runs a sports goods business, and his business is quite large, having chain stores in several towns in the Zhou District.

He knows a bit about mainstream sports, and today, when he saw Yanran’s performance in the archery hall with curiosity, he thought it would be great if this alien girl could become a spokesperson for his store.

Yanran herself is a youthful beautiful girl, with delicate features, a slender figure, and amazing archery skills. Just based on this, she outshines those actresses who rely solely on looks and fabricated charm.

After some brief pleasantries, the sports goods shop owner revealed his intention to them; he wanted Yanran to be his store’s spokesperson.

This delighted Yanran.

She had never been a model growing up.

And what girl doesn’t like to showcase her beauty in front of others?

But she was worried she might not do well, as she had never worked in this field before.

The owner reassured Yanran, telling her his expectations weren’t very high. He simply wanted Yanran to wear some of the sportswear his shop represents and display her style on the showroom floor.

The fee was negotiable, ensuring they wouldn’t be disappointed.

Yanran readily agreed.

The sports goods shop owner had indeed a good eye.

The past few days, his store’s business has been exceptionally good, with sales several times or even dozens of times higher than in the past, and the brand of sportswear Yanran wore has completely sold out. He is urging the manufacturer to deliver more stock quickly.

Recently, many people have come to his store to buy bows and arrows. Originally, archery was considered a niche sport, but now, thanks to Yanran’s talent demonstration, it has become popular.

The owner indeed shows his unique acumen in business.

Seeing Yanran’s rise to fame, he decided to strike while the iron was hot, spending a significant sum on hiring a specialized advertising agency, along with professional makeup artists, to use Yanran as a model and create promotional films themed around ”health, sunshine, beauty, and charm”.

Of course, he also communicated with Jiang Cheng and Yanran beforehand. In his plan, Yanran would appear as a figure full of positive energy, ensuring that nothing in the advertisement would invoke any negative thoughts.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran agreed, with Yanran being keen to experience the feeling of being under the spotlight.

These ads — including some photos — maximally showcased Yanran’s poise from various angles, especially when wearing the sportswear and holding the bow, which showcased the focused expression unique to professional athletes, her calm gaze, and her valiant demeanor, capturing most people’s attention.

The commercials began broadcasting on major TV stations, while Yanran’s posters also started widespread promotion.

For a while, not only in their town but also in the surrounding areas and even larger cities, these promotional films and posters caused a sensation, with people eagerly discussing the sudden emergence of the archery genius, the youthful invincible beauty.

In no time, countless young men dreamed of Yanran as their dream girl, seeking her planetary origin, family background, education, and so on.

But of course, they found nothing.

No matter how the paparazzi tried to dig or inquire about this alien girl generating a buzz, they couldn’t find any information about Yanran.

This only deepened Guo Ran’s mystique. Suddenly, in various newspapers’ entertainment sections or entertainment headlines, words like ”mysterious” and ”beautiful” were used as selling points.

Even some TV stations wanted a special interview, hoping Yanran would talk about her life and archery or her feelings about sudden fame, but Yanran refused.

She shot commercials or acted as a spokesperson merely to satisfy her curiosity, not wanting fame. Now, with her fame swelling, even walking in town draws attention from passersby.

Yanran found it uncomfortable. As a curious girl who wanted to try and see the effects of shooting ads and appearing on TV, she hadn’t expected to suddenly become popular.

Now she feels the inconveniences brought on by fame.

Previously, she and Jiang Cheng could eat wherever and whatever they liked, but now it’s impossible. Whenever they appear in public, people ask for autographs, and paparazzi reporters surround them, incessantly taking photos.

They couldn’t even enjoy a peaceful meal.

Jiang Cheng had long been tired of this and now refuses to go out with her.

This made the young girl quite regretful.

Actually, filming commercials and doing promotions wasn’t for fame or money; she just needed enough travel and meal expenses.

After all, Jiang Cheng and she wouldn’t stay in this town, or even on this planet, for long; it’s just a place they happened to pass through, not a place they intended to live long-term.

The funniest thing was the sports goods store owner; after seeing Yanran’s rise, he ambitiously wanted to keep Yanran as his cash cow, even contemplating pushing Yanran into showbiz as an actress or singer, while he acts as her manager.

Despite Yanran’s repeated refusals, the owner didn’t give up. After futile pleas, he dared to resort to crooked plans, trying to hire some unsavory people to intimidate them.

Naturally, he failed. After Yanran beat those people into submission, he realized this alien girl wasn’t just skilled in archery.

As for her teacher, he had remained silent throughout.

Yanran never imagined that shooting a few commercials would make her famous, with fans and paparazzi causing disturbances, robbing them of peace.

Jiang Cheng had long realized fame isn’t necessarily a good thing as it brings endless annoyances to a normal life, especially for people like them—he finds Yanran and himself alike—who dislike being scrutinized by many and don’t want to be discussed by others; they only wanted to do what they wished.

Now, he quietly watched Yanran face these troubles, not guiding her, hoping this naive girl might extricate herself from this whirlpool.

Perhaps in this situation, he could evaluate her achievements in spiritual power training, as external interference can cause unnecessary inner turmoil, and therefore, affect spiritual power cultivation.
