Trembling At A High Altitude

After Li Teng was recovered into the cabin by the mechanical arm and the metal plate, the cabin door closed, and the cabin became pitch black.

There was a box next to him containing bread, biscuits, and drinks that could help him recover.

Li Teng couldn't see, but it was originally pitch black in the cabin.

Under Yao Xue's care, although he was weak now, he still had the strength to lift his arms.

After fumbling around for a long while, Li Teng took out the bread, biscuits, and drinks and consumed them.

Then, he lay down and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Li Teng had left the helicopter and was lying on a gurney.

This scene was all too familiar.

It had been the same for the last three times he had come back.

The Black-hearted Doctor was gone; he wondered how the hospital would handle the treatment fees this time.

Would he encounter an acquaintance of the Black-hearted Doctor and get fleeced again?

There was no helping it, extras were just lambs to the slaughter.

Not to mention, he was so injured that he couldn't move at all.

Two staff members directly pushed Li Teng into a nearby building.

The gurney was pushed into the consultation room.

This time, a female doctor arrived.

"Don't worry, you're safe here," the female doctor greeted him warmly, comforting the severely injured Li Teng.

"Thank you," Li Teng was pleasantly surprised.

"The Healing Pod has been prepared. Shall I take you there now?" the female doctor asked Li Teng for his opinion.

"Well, aren't we going to fill out a fee application form?" Li Teng felt it would be better to bring it up proactively; entering the hospital and not having the hospital bring up fees was even more terrifying.

"No need, it's all free," the female doctor responded to Li Teng.

"I remember ... it used to be chargeable. There are no credits left in my account, yet we still need to fill out an application form," Li Teng was still not at ease.

When did the hospital become a charity?

"Oh, it indeed used to charge fees. However, an incident occurred. A doctor abused her authority to force a newcomer to sign a high-interest loan for treatment and cruelly mistreated the newcomer. A complaint was filed by a newcomer. The Supervision Department reported this incident to the leadership of Film and Television City. The executives were furious, severely punished the doctor, and implemented a massive medical reform in Film and Television City. The injuries sustained on the stone column were also covered under occupational injury insurance to prevent similar incidents," the female doctor explained the situation to Li Teng.

"Damn! This is all my doing! I sacrificed myself and saved all the suffering newcomers! Could it be that I'm really a savior?" Li Teng muttered to himself inwardly.

"Did Film and Television City consider rewarding that brave newcomer?" Li Teng asked the female doctor.

"Well ... I haven't heard of that. It seems at the time, the Supervision Department had that newcomer partake in some Hell Mode performance," the female doctor thought for a moment and replied to Li Teng.

"Isn't that totally unfair?" Li Teng felt incredibly stifled being an unsung hero.

"Hehe, that's not something we can worry about. Let's focus on healing your wounds first," the female doctor pushed Li Teng into the adjacent treatment room and, with the help of two orderlies, carefully placed Li Teng into the Healing Pod.

...

Fifteen minutes later, the Medical Pod lid opened.

Li Teng sat up from the mysterious solid-liquid mixture.

He felt refreshed and clear-headed.

"Do you need hospital gowns? Two credits each," an orderly stood by the Medical Pod, handing a neatly folded set of hospital gowns to Li Teng.

"No thanks, I already have two sets," Li Teng pointed to himself.

"Alright." The orderly walked away with the hospital gowns.

"Two credits each! They used to charge me twenty credits; how evil was that Black-hearted Doctor?" Li Teng couldn't help but curse.

The Medical Pod not only repaired bodies but also restored clothing produced by Film and Television City; the two sets of hospital gowns he wore inside were completely restored.

The orderly didn't bring any fee forms; it seemed it really was entirely free now.

"Having done such a great service and benefiting all the newcomers of Film and Television City, yet no one has presented me with a banner, really..." Li Teng felt a sense of loss.

"Doctor, how is the doctor who was punished now?" Li Teng found the female doctor and asked her.

"Him? Because of his extremely bad behavior, he was turned into a wax figure," the female doctor replied to Li Teng.

"Oh, do you know where his wax figure is? I'd like to visit it," Li Teng mentioned to the female doctor.

"Visit? Oh, it's in the wax museum right next to the hospital. When you go out, turn left and walk about fifty meters and you'll find it," the female doctor informed Li Teng.

"Thank you."

Li Teng expressed his gratitude to the female doctor, then left the hospital.

With only three credits left in his account, Li Teng spent two credits to buy three buns before heading to the wax museum on the left side of the hospital.

Once inside the wax museum, Li Teng looked around and soon found Liu Huang.

"Yo! Doctor Liu is here? How's it been staying in here?"

"I brought buns to see you!"

"See how nice I am to you? Everyone else has forgotten you, but I still came to see you."

"How come you're missing two teeth?"

"You look really ugly when you smile, like shit pulled by a dog..." Li Teng sang a few lines.

"Want to eat a bun? They smell so good." Li Teng took a bite of the bun and then held it in front of Liu Huang to let him see and smell it.

When leaving, Li Teng found a prop mug on the table, urinated in it, and poured it over Liu Huang's head before leaving contentedly.

...

There was a signpost on the street.

There was a countdown in the shops along the street.

There was about twenty minutes left until the gathering time.

Li Teng felt puzzled.

The direction indicated by the signpost seemed to point towards the café.

That was where they usually filmed.

This time it was for a promotion performance. They shouldn't be going there, right?

Anyway, he'd better hurry over first.

Li Teng quickened his pace and ran toward the gathering point.

After running quickly for more than ten minutes, Li Teng saw the familiar street scene.

As expected, the signpost still pointed to that café.

There were four people sitting beside the coffee table.

Gao Fei, Elsa, Bunny Girl, and Huang Xun.

Anna and Du Qing were not there.

"Yo! Today's star has arrived," Huang Xun said snidely.

"Why are you all here?" Li Teng ignored Huang Xun and asked Gao Fei and the others.

"It seems that if someone from the same troupe is advancing, the rest are brought back to watch the live performance of the advancement," Gao Fei responded to Li Teng.

"Taking advantage of your opportunity to come back and rest a bit," Elsa said to Li Teng with a cheerful grin.

"Cheer up! You're definitely going to make it," Bunny Girl encouraged Li Teng.

"Yeah, cheer up, we're all rooting for you!" Elsa and Gao Fei also expressed their blessings to Li Teng.

"Thanks for the kind words."

Li Teng instinctively glanced at Anna's seat.

It looked like she really had left.
