Trembling At A High Altitude

The following morning.

Li Teng decided to go look for an NPC and see if killing one would grant him Life Resource Points.

The Communications Soldier from the Barbarian Country couldn't be killed casually, as they were key to successfully completing the story this time.

Therefore, he had to venture into the territory of the Barbarian State to find a target to hunt.

If he could find an army of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, and charge in to kill to his heart's content, could he obtain a large number of Life Resource Points at once?

The weather had been good these past few days. Pretending he wanted to clear his mind alone, he didn't bring anyone else with him. He crossed the Border River and entered the territory of the Barbarian State, continuing towards the plains below the mountains through the camps of the Barbarian Country.

Panting, Li Teng soon found he could no longer walk. He decided to drink an Energy Drink before continuing forward.

As soon as the thought of the Energy Drink occurred to him, a bottle appeared in his hand, taken out from the storage APP.

He looked at his wristwatch, which displayed an OK gesture on the screen.

The work of the Death God APP?

Was it monitoring his consciousness?

"Biological electrical energy induction system initiated, more advanced technology enabling the function of remote operation APPs."

Beneath the OK gesture, several more lines of prompts appeared.

Well, it wasn't exactly a bad thing.

Li Teng tried to think the drink back into storage again, and indeed, the bottle vanished from his hand.

It was quite convenient, avoiding the hassle of pressing the screen on the wristwatch.

Li Teng then tested the teleportation APP and found that he didn't have to fiddle with his wristwatch anymore. By simply thinking of a pre-set teleportation location, he was transported there.

Unfortunately, these APPs weren't versatile across all scripted worlds.

While hesitating whether to drink the Energy Drink before continuing, Li Teng suddenly bumped into an invisible wall.

Although he could see the scenery ahead, he couldn't move forward anymore.

This scripted world had its boundaries set; Li Teng couldn't just make a beeline for the capital of the Barbarian Country.

But it wasn't surprising. Scripted worlds consume resources, and since it was only a minor story, there was no need to waste resources creating such an expansive sandbox world.

Never mind, it wasn't a concern for the moment. He would find another opportunity to try later.

...

Back at the camp, everyone had already delivered Li Teng's breakfast, which was kept warm by the fire.

After showing his strength, Li Teng had truly become their "Uncle Li," so everyone willingly provided service for him.

"Uncle Li, could I take a look at your knife? I'll just play with it for a bit and then give it back to you."

While basking in the sun after the meal, Mao Patrol brought it up to Li Teng.

The others also looked at Li Teng curiously; they all wanted to witness the power of Li Teng's Divine Weapon.

When he had charged into the midst of the Barbarian troops, it was like slicing through vegetables.

After sorting out the battlefield, they found that many of the iron clubs in the hands of the Barbarian soldiers were chopped in half by his knife, as easily as cutting tofu.

"Here you go." Li Teng casually summoned the machete and threw it on the ground.

It was better to throw it on the ground when not having had an Energy Drink; otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing to not be able to lift his own blade.

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Mao Patrol quickly walked over and grabbed the handle of the machete.

Because he was unaware that the machete weighed nearly twenty pounds, he didn't use much force. As a result, he didn't lift it on the first try and even let out an "Ouch" in surprise.

"Damn! It's so heavy!" Mao Patrol used both hands this time, finally lifting the machete. Although swinging it a couple of times was no issue, he became unsteady on the third swing, nearly falling over.

The others also realized that something was amiss and took turns trying the knife, all with looks of shock on their faces.

Uncle Li was no ordinary person! Such a heavy machete, yet when he was fighting the enemy, its weight was completely imperceptible!

No wonder it could cut through iron like mud!

The blade didn't seem thicker than a regular machete, so its weight could only be attributed to one thing—its density was very high.

Denser materials bully less dense materials in terms of hardness; it's like a dimensional assault.

"In what kind of script can you find such treasures?" the crowd surrounded Li Teng, barraging him with endless questions.

"You wouldn't want to go into that kind of script. Out of the seven people who entered with me, everyone left after just one round. Moreover, those scripts were closed completely because they were too bloody and brutal," Li Teng conjured an answer for the crowd.

"How bloody and brutal was it?" the crowd was still curious.

"Unarmed, we were shot in the legs by fully armed soldiers, captured into the den of the Octopus Monster, our limbs used as food for the small octopuses, with countless bugs burrowing into our bodies and gnawing on our bones... day after day..."

Li Teng's reply silenced everyone.

They admitted to themselves that they could not endure such torture.

So, it was impossible for them to obtain such powerful Divine Weapons.

...

The following days were unusually calm.

Apart from keeping watch over the Communications Soldier from the Barbarian Country and staying alert to any movements within the territory, the group's days consisted of various leisure activities.

It seemed that the difficulty of the entire script was in how the eight of them could fight against scores of people.

But, because Li Teng had cheated, it made the script incredibly easy.

After scores of people had been eliminated, no reinforcement troops arrived.

Half a month later, the script ended unremarkably.

Before leaving, Li Teng killed the Communications Soldier from the Barbarian Country.

Then, several prompts appeared on his watch screen.

"Attempting to decrypt Life Resources code..."

"Unknown encryption algorithm discovered."

"Decryption failed."

"Please change targets and try again."

"..."

"Damn it!"

Li Teng felt as though he had been duped.

...

Since it was a Minor Special Engagement, in addition to distributing points, there was no paid questionnaire or similar segments afterward.

Once the points were allocated, the temporary crew disbanded.

With the double points reward, Li Teng acquired another 40 points, bringing his point balance back to 100.

Indeed, after rising to Bit-part Level, the speed of earning points was much faster.

Of course, it was also because he had followed Liu Shiyuan, the experienced director, which provided more opportunities for engagements and relatively easier access to points.

In this extra script, no one turned into a wax statue. The others were all grateful to Uncle Li, believing that their double points were entirely his doing; they just reaped the benefits without any effort.

They all hoped to collaborate with Uncle Li again, but such decisions were not up to them; they depended on the arrangement of their crew.

After bidding each other farewell, everyone went back to their respective groups.

Liu Shiyuan sent his bodyguard with a car to pick up Li Teng, but he did not come himself.

He was neither in the café, nor was it clear what he was busy with.

Li Teng was not in a hurry. As long as he was not dismissed, he would absolutely not take the initiative to return to the stone pillar.

The longer he could linger in Film and Television City, the better.

Before leaving, Liu Shiyuan's bodyguard handed Li Teng a cell phone to take a call.

It was a call from Liu Shiyuan.
