Chapter 86: Two BGMs

At the Disney Concert Hall on Starlight Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, its unique appearance makes it an important landmark on South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles. This was the chosen venue for Tony Stark's third annual firefighters' family fundraiser.

When Clark arrived, night had already fallen, and the star of the event, Tony Stark, had yet to appear.

After briefly greeting Obadiah, Clark began searching for his real target for the evening.

Moments later, he spotted a white-haired old man in red, surrounded by four beautiful women.

He decided, "You're the one!"

Walking up with anticipation, Clark patted the man on the shoulder from behind, "Hey, Old Lee!"

The old man turned around, puzzled, "Young man, I don't know you, and I'm not the 'Old Lee' you're talking about. Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

"Oh, my apologies." Turning to walk into the venue, Clark chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It seems the will of the universe isn't so easy to catch after all!" Just as he was feeling disappointed, he suddenly heard the familiar system notification in his mind.

Received impression points from the will of the universe, automatically converted into a 'Random BGM Lottery Card'! It really was him!

Hearing this, Clark was energized.

In fact, he was here today specifically for the will of the world!

Had it not been for the possibility of this mysterious white-haired old man appearing at today's event, he wouldn't have bothered attending some charity dinner hosted by Stark.

Did Clark travel all the way from New York to Los Angeles just to give Tony Stark face? His face wasn't that big! Pleased, he accessed the system interface, quickly found the "Random BGM Lottery Card," double-clicked it, and confirmed its use.

"Congratulations to the host for using the 'Random BGM Lottery Card' and obtaining the BGM 'A Spray of Plum Blossoms.'"

Checking the attributes of this BGM, Clark frowned.

"A Spray of Plum Blossoms"

Level: 1 (Non-upgradable) Effect: When used, the user can choose any target within a ten-meter radius and within line of sight. The designated person by the music will inevitably encounter romantic disappointment within 1 hour. The music will play at their saddest moment, maximizing the atmosphere setting effect.

Cooldown time after each use: 24 hours.

Utterly useless, thought Clark, highly dissatisfied with this seemingly useless BGM. Just as he was considering trying his luck again with the will of the universe for another random BGM lottery card, he saw a blonde woman in a black suit approaching him directly.

"Hello, Mr. Lee, I'm Christine from Influential Figures Magazine. May I ask you a few questions?"

Since becoming famous, wherever he went, reporters would follow, which was quite annoying. And he still had to maintain a smile…

With a polite smile, Clark nodded slightly, "Ask away."

Christine, the self-identified blonde, took out a few photos of terrorists holding Stark weapons from her pocket and showed them to Clark, asking, "As Stark Industries' second-largest shareholder, what do you think about these photos?"

"This has nothing to do with me!"

Clark decisively shifted the blame, "I'm just a shareholder up to this point and have no plans to participate in Stark Industries' management. You should ask Tony Stark these questions."

Having made his stance clear, Christine could only put away the photos, "I will ask him."

Only then did Clark remember that this Christine seemed to be the reporter who had a fling with Tony at the beginning of the movie.

Thus, a wicked idea popped into his mind and he immediately put it into action.

"If you really want to get back at Stark for his hit-and-run tactics, these photos won't be enough to hurt him." Seeing her slightly interested, Clark whispered in her ear, "You could do this…"

After hearing Clark's suggestion, Christine's face showed a devilish smile, "I didn't expect someone who looks as honest as you to come up with such a wicked idea."

Clark retorted without hesitation, "I'm just providing ideas. You're the one who wants to hurt the genius scientist. So, you're the bad person."

Christine didn't refute Clark calling her a bad person, instead, she changed the subject and pointed towards the hall, "How about going in for a drink? My treat."

"That would be great; I love free drinks."

With that, they walked into the hall together, brushing past the white-haired old man again. Clark patted his shoulder once more, "You're clearly Old Lee. You don't owe me money, so why deny it?"

The old man, looking distressed, turned back to Clark, "I'm really not this Old Lee. Look at me, an old man trying to enjoy a moment with a few beauties, it's not easy. Please don't bother me anymore."

Since the man had said so much, Clark could not keep bothering him and, after politely apologizing, entered the hall with Christine.

Received impression points from the will of the universe, automatically converted into a 'Random BGM Lottery Card'! Indeed, every time he greeted the old gentleman, he would benefit.

At this point, Christine had already ordered two Bloody Marys at the bar and handed one to Clark.

After downing the drink, Clark discreetly accessed the system interface, used the random BGM lottery card, and received a new BGM, although it seemed to be a temporary one? "Moon Prism Power Make Up!" (Trial Version) Trial Version? Clark frowned; those words didn't seem very promising.

"Clark!" Christine exclaimed in shock, pointing at his drink, "You just downed a whole glass of Bloody Mary?"

"In our culture, we have a rule when drinking: down it in one go if the friendship is deep. Any problems?"

"No... No problem!"

Received +66 impression points from Christine!

At that moment, a cheer went up in the hall, and they turned to see the event's star, Tony Stark, finally arriving.

Seeing Tony make his entrance, a mischievous smile crossed Clark's face, and he winked at Christine, "The star has arrived; now it's your turn to shine."
