Chapter 10 Book Signing Event
Chapter 10 Book Signing Event
Red Velvet's tour this time includes two concerts in Canada, as well as several concerts in cities across the United States.
Zhou Wenzhe, representing both families, took them to the airport the next day.
Son Seung-wan originally wanted to invite him to their next few concerts, but she gave up when she heard that he was going to Japan.
"What are you going to Japan for?" Son Seung-wan asked curiously. Last night, she heard from her sister that Zhou Wenzhe was now a travel blogger with many fans.
"I'm going to see a friend and take care of some things."
"Oh, how long are you going to stay in Japan?"
"It's still uncertain, at most a month."
"We'll be returning to South Korea in a month. Would you like to come back and visit?"
"Okay, I'll contact you then."
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Okay, I wish you a successful performance."
"Thanks."
After seeing Son Seung-wan off, Zhou Wenzhe spent two days with his parents in Vancouver. After they returned to New York after their inspection tour, he flew directly to Japan.
He was only given a month for the side quest about his "first love," and he still doesn't know who this "first love" is or where she is.
Tokyo, Minato Ward.
Zhou Wenzhe arrived at an apartment he had bought during a previous mission and used his "cleaning technique" to clean the apartment thoroughly.
He changed his clothes and went out to eat.
After eating a little something, he wandered aimlessly through the streets.
All he can confirm now is that his target is Tokyo; he'll have to find the exact location himself.
Based on past experience, the system will issue a notification sound as long as the target person is within 1 kilometer of him.
The closer the distance, the louder the beep.
Now we can only rely on luck.
After going around in circles, the system didn't give any feedback, so it looks like I'll have to go home empty-handed today.
Oh well, there are still more than 20 days left, no rush. Besides, there's no penalty for this side quest; at most, I just won't get the free intimacy points.
As Zhou Wenzhe was walking back, the singing coming from a music store he passed caught his attention. He would never have paid attention to such things in the past, but this time he inexplicably went inside.
As soon as I entered, a young woman in work clothes came up to me, bowed politely, and said, "Welcome, how can I help you?"
"Whose song is this that you're playing right now?" Zhou Wenzhe asked.
"Sir, this is a Japanese single released last month by a South Korean girl group called Twice. The song is called 'Wake Me Up'."
"Korean girl group? Let me see it." Zhou Wenzhe never expected that he would be associated with a Korean girl group again just because he accidentally heard a song.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The clerk turned and walked to the counter, took a new album from it, and walked back to hand it to Zhou Wenzhe.
Zhou Wenzhe took the album and looked at the cover, which featured nine beautiful girls.
At first glance, he noticed the top of the cover: a girl wearing a black beret, a red top, and a denim mini-skirt.
This wasn't because she was the prettiest of the nine girls, but because Zhou Wenzhe recognized her. Although she looked very different now compared to when she was a child, he still recognized her at a glance.
Lim Na-yeon, his former elementary school classmate and one of his best friends.
"How much does this album cost?"
"1800 yen."
"Okay, I'll take this one."
"There's also an A version of this album, sir. Would you like to buy it as well?" the clerk said, seizing the opportunity to promote the album.
"Alright, pack up their old albums too."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The clerk's face lit up with joy; this was a big sale.
Soon, the clerk found more than a dozen albums, scanned them all, and put them in a shopping bag.
Zhou Wenzhe paid and was about to leave with the bag when the shop assistant suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Sir, they seem to be coming to Tokyo tomorrow for a book signing."
"A book signing event? How can I attend?"
"Tickets are required, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. You can look it up."
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome, and welcome back again." The shop assistant politely saw Zhou Wenzhe out of the store.
Back at his apartment, Zhou Wenzhe casually took an album from his shopping bag, opened it, and put the CD into the record player.
He then began to examine the other items included with the album.
The album is quite a good deal at 1800 yen. In addition to the CD, it also includes posters of the members, one group poster and one individual poster, as well as a picture book, lyric booklet, photocards, and other items. It's a very generous package and worth the price.
Listening to the songs coming from the speakers, Zhou Wenzhe opened the photo album. The first few pages of the album were group photos of the nine girls of Twice, and the following pages were individual or group photos.
At this moment, he also started searching for Twice's information in the system.
Twice is a nine-member girl group launched by JYP Entertainment, a major South Korean entertainment company, in October 2015.
The group has five members from South Korea, three members from Japan, and one member from Taiwan.
Since their debut more than two years ago, they have released more than a dozen albums, including singles, mini-albums and full-length albums, becoming one of the best among the new generation of girl groups in South Korea.
Zhou Wenzhe flipped through the picture album and came to the page with Lin Nalian's solo photo.
He is now 80% certain that the 'first love' the system sent him to find is her.
But why would the system consider her its first love?
Although the two had a good relationship when they were in school, they were really just good friends who could talk about anything.
However, due to a sudden worsening of his illness, his parents had no choice but to take him back to America for emergency treatment. They didn't even have time to say goodbye to her and his other friends properly, and more than a decade has passed since then.
In short, regardless of whether it's her or not, Zhou Wenzhe will definitely go and meet her.
They're having a book signing, so this is a great opportunity to meet them. I just don't know if she'll still recognize me now.
Immediately, Zhou Wenzhe checked the location and time of the autograph session, as well as how to obtain tickets.
There are three ways to obtain tickets. The first is to buy the album, and there is a certain probability that you can draw a ticket by using the barcode in the album.
The second option is to buy tickets on Twice's official ticketing platform. This method requires quick reflexes because there are limited spots available, and many fans want tickets.
The last option is to draw lots on-site. This option has the fewest lots, so the competition is even fiercer, but it is entirely based on luck.
The deadlines for the first two ways to obtain tickets have passed, leaving only the last one.
Although this method is the most competitive, it is actually the simplest and easiest way for Zhou Wenzhe.
Others might take their chances, but he cheated outright.
After a good night's sleep, Zhou Wenzhe dressed up specially the next day and drove to the Twice autograph session venue.
