Trembling At A High Altitude

"Fuck your mom!" Liu Huang cursed.

"Quiet!" the director shouted.

"Damn bitch! You've set me up! You're going to have a bad end!" Liu Huang started to curse at the director.

He was about to be sealed in a Wax Sealing Capsule, and with his hands still cuffed behind his back, he had no chance to lodge a complaint.

Li Teng took off the socks on his feet, tied the two socks into a knot, and tied them around Liu Huang's mouth, then secured it at the back of his head.

Since he had beaten Huang Xun, two security guards from the Film and Television City escorted Liu Huang all the way, with his hands cuffed behind his back, he couldn't resist what Li Teng was doing to him.

And he couldn't speak normally either—only muffled sounds came out.

The on-site staff and security guards glanced at the director...

Doesn't that count as Li Teng initiating an attack on another actor?

The director was indifferent, as if he had seen nothing.

So, the staff and security guards did nothing either.

Liu Huang was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed, but to no avail.

Huang Xun wanted to say something, but in the end, he let it go.

But Li Teng was not willing to let things go and, in front of Liu Huang, he took out a steamed meat bun and started to eat it, bite by bite, even occasionally bringing it close to Liu Huang's nose to let him smell the savory scent of the meat filling.

"Umm, umm..." Liu Huang knew that Li Teng was deliberately teasing him. He shook his head furiously, trying to express his dissatisfaction, but his stomach embarrassingly groaned. He hadn't eaten anything since yesterday and was already starving.

The director didn't speak again, just watching Li Teng's "performance."

Others who noticed Li Teng's bun wore expressions of surprise.

Could it be that he was about to replay last time's incident?

Before long, Li Teng had finished the bun, then took out another one from his pocket.

"Doctor Liu, do you want some?" Li Teng untied the socks from Liu Huang's mouth and brought the bun up to him.

"Fuck your mom!" Liu Huang knew Li Teng was mocking him—he didn't believe Li Teng would be so kind to give him a bun to eat, so he took the opportunity to curse again.

"A good deed goes unrewarded! If you won't eat it, I'll eat it!" Li Teng moved the bun a little closer to Liu Huang's face.

Liu Huang's stomach growled, and the bun in front of him was very tempting, making him want to bite into it.

"Don't eat it! That's not a bun—that's a rock!" Huang Xun knew that Li Teng was planning to trick someone again. The first bun was real, but the second one had a rock inside. He quickly exposed Li Teng publicly to prevent his scheme from succeeding.

Liu Huang glanced at Huang Xun... The guy was actually quite conscientious, reminding him in time. He was lucky he didn't bite into it otherwise he would have been duped.

"If you don't want to eat it, forget it." Li Teng took back the bun and bit off half of it, then offered it to Liu Huang.

"It's sweet sesame filling, so sweet. Too greasy, it doesn't taste good." Li Teng showed the bitten open bun filling to Liu Huang.

No rock.

Starving, Liu Huang suddenly stretched his head, intending to take a big bite of the bun Li Teng had bitten.

But Li Teng was prepared and pulled away the bun, giving Liu Huang no chance whatsoever.

"Nice try giving it to you, and you didn't eat it. You want it now? Too late." Li Teng then shoved the rest of the bun into his mouth.

"Shit!" Liu Huang exploded in frustration.

"So mean! And to use the same trick again!" Huang Xun was somewhat speechless about Li Teng.

"Do you want another meat bun?" Li Teng took out another bun and brought it close to Liu Huang's mouth.

This time, the offering was made so close that it almost touched Liu Huang's lips.

"Don't eat it! There's a rock inside!" Huang Xun yelled again.

"Fuck your mother with a rock!"

Liu Huang cursed at Huang Xun, having fallen for Huang Xun's damn trick before and losing the bun he almost had in his mouth. This time, of course, he wouldn't be fooled again... It was clearly a bun, yet that bastard insisted it was a rock! Seizing the moment while Li Teng wasn't looking, Liu Huang quickly took a fierce bite from the bun in Li Teng's hand, using all the strength he could muster.

"Ah!! Ah!!"

Agonizing pain, screams.

Liu Huang only felt like his front teeth were shattered.

This... this... it really was a rock!

The actors who had participated in the previous show all covered their eyes.

The same damn trickery, when others used it once it was exposed, yet Li Teng managed to use it twice!

"Tsk tsk tsk! How can you be so dumb? I told you it was a rock! And I reminded you several times!" Huang Xun's face showed disappointment as if lamenting his failure to teach iron into steel.

"Fuck your mother!" Liu Huang this time wasn't cursing at Li Teng but at Huang Xun.

"What kind of person are you? I kindly remind you and you curse at me? You're so dumb I don't even know what to say to you, you're even stupider than Feng Dahai in the last act! I must have been blind to have followed you around." Huang Xun showed his indignation after being cursed.

"I... I..." Liu Huang was so angry he was trembling all over.

The toothache, the mockery from the people around, Huang Xun's insults, and the director's indifference to Li Teng's actions, all this almost made Liu Huang pass out from anger.

The Wax Sealing Master came over.

Two security guards forcibly removed Liu Huang away from the coffee table.

At the Wax Sealing Master's request, Liu Huang changed into a suit, put on an extremely awkward smile, and gradually solidified inside the Wax Sealing Capsule.

"The fourth one," Anna muttered.

"The fourth person who wanted to kill him and ended up being wax sealed," Elsa knew what Anna was talking about.

"The same trick works twice, when people use conspiracies it's hard to succeed, but he's playing his game in broad daylight." Gao Fei was thoroughly impressed by Li Teng.

"It's only because they're too dumb and disappointing," Huang Xun continued his tough love.

"No, it's because you played along well," Gao Fei denied Huang Xun's claim.

"Played along? Who did I play along with? Play along with him? Am I sick in the head?" Huang Xun looked utterly annoyed.

"So you know you're sick in the head? Quite self-aware, aren't you!" Gao Fei continued his mockery.

"Forget it, can't have a normal conversation with a troll like you," Huang Xun shook his head.

"I can't be bothered with a nitpicker like you," Gao Fei scoffed disdainfully.

...

After the Wax Sealing Ceremony, it was time for the question-and-answer session.

Higher ranking actors responded to questions from lower-ranking ones.

With Liu Huang wax sealed, like last time, only Sunglasses Woman Anna and Pretty Boy Du Qing were available to answer the extras' questions.

"Brother Du, are you really leaving after the next scene? Does that mean my joining the Silver Wolf Guild is off the table? As an actor like me who works diligently, having performed in several shows, and now not even having enough points to afford a meal, what should I do if even the guild doesn't want me? How should I develop in the future?" Huang Xun asked Du Qing a question.

This time if it wasn't for the Supervision Department coming over and announcing that the contest results were void, he would have been sent packing with a box lunch. Every big shot he clung to had been wax sealed, and Du Qing was about to leave, now he was genuinely panicked.

"Be honest, act well, keep your mouth shut and don't speak out of turn, don't arbitrarily take sides, accumulate points over time, and things will get better," Du Qing gave Huang Xun some advice. After being beaten up by Anna in this show, Du Qing had become a lot more compliant.
