Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 79 The Distribution Law of Stone Columns



Only then did the others see clearly that Li Teng was holding a stone wrapped in bun skin!

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions varied.

"This is what happens when you offend a clever person," Anna laughed heartily.

"Where did you find the stone?" Elsa asked curiously.

"What can I say?" Gao Fei really admired Li Teng.

This Li Teng was too 'sly'! Petty and vengeful, even a dying man wouldn't be let off.

"Too sly! Just too sly!" Huang Xun repeatedly exclaimed, never having anticipated that Feng Dahai would break his teeth on Li Teng's fake bun.

"Despicable," Du Qing summed up in two words.

"Despicable is not the right word to describe it. What stands out in his action is the 'slyness'! A scumbag with divine foresight, meticulous thinking! Malicious! The whole set of trapping people is truly impossible to guard against!" Huang Xun argued with Du Qing for a few sentences.

"It's just a fake bun wrapped around a stone, what's this divine foresight about?" Du Qing thought Huang Xun was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Don't think it's just a small bun. This fake bun couldn't have come out of nowhere. The well-dug bun skin and the perfectly shaped stone, they can't be spontaneous ideas, but must be something he specifically sought out and prepared in advance. This means he anticipated beforehand that Feng Dahai would get hungry and ask us for food."

"Then, he first used a real sesame bun to fool Feng Dahai, dispelling Feng Dahai's doubts and making him believe it was a spur-of-the-moment idea to tease him with a bun. So, when faced with the second meat bun, he was completely off guard and never thought that the bun could be fake."

"As a result, he fell right into Li Teng's cunning plan, biting hard into the stone and breaking his own teeth," Huang Xun explained Li Teng's divine foresight and sly malice to everyone.

After Huang Xun's analysis, everyone couldn't help but gasp, turning to look at Li Teng once again.

Was this guy's way of doing things too unbelievable?

It felt like he was either plotting against someone or preparing to do so.

As his enemy, one might get caught off guard and be tricked by him.

Furthermore, he was a great bluffer.

Apart from bluffing Anna and others into buying him roasted chicken, he could even bluff his enemy, Feng Dahai, into biting the stone in his hand!

I don't know what to call him anymore.

"Director! He deliberately attacked me!" Feng Dahai cried in pain, with tears streaming down his face, while protesting incoherently to the director.

"I didn't see any attacking movements from him," the director rejected Feng Dahai's protest.

"Exactly! It's clear you wanted to bite him; we all saw it," Anna spoke up.

"Yeah! He holds a stone, and you just bite into it? Whose fault is that?" Elsa quickly chimed in.

"Got what he deserved! Evil begets evil!" Gao Fei continued to rub it in.

Li Teng's behavior just now was indeed a bit 'cheap', but for them, it didn't feel 'cheap' at all, just very satisfying.

Remembering the severe torture they had suffered at Feng Dahai's hands, they each clenched their teeth with hatred, wishing Li Teng would torment Feng Dahai even more.

"Damn it all!" Feng Dahai cursed once more before being forcibly taken away from the coffee table by two security guards.

The Wax Sealing Master had arrived.

At the Wax Sealing Master's request, Feng Dahai had no choice but to change into a suit and then put on an extremely ugly smile, which gradually solidified inside the Wax Sealing Capsule.

"The third one," Anna sighed.

"The third what?" Elsa didn't quite understand.

"The third person who tried to kill him and ended up getting sealed in wax," Anna answered Elsa.

"Oh, right, yeah. If that what's-its-name, Hungry Dog... no, I mean Silver Dog Guild isn't content, there are bound to be more people like that in the future," Elsa nodded in realization.

"It's not Hungry Dog or Silver Dog; it's the Silver Wolf Guild," Du Qing corrected Elsa somewhat helplessly.

"Same difference," Elsa responded to Du Qing.

...

After the wax sealing ceremony, it was time for the question-and-answer session.

Senior actors answered questions from junior actors.

Feng Dahai was sealed in wax, and like the previous session, only the Sunglasses Woman Anna and Pretty Boy Du Qing could answer the extras' questions.

"I have a question for Mr. Du," Elsa started.

"Please, go ahead," Du Qing was pleased that someone from Li Teng's Camp was taking the initiative to ask him a question, which helped him score points, and she even addressed him as Mr. Du.

"There's something I've always found odd. Guo Zhipeng and his mother both appeared in Film and Television City. Guo Zhipeng is an adult; could it be that he and his mother still share the same bed?" Elsa voiced her confusion.

"What's so strange about that? Why do you think they have to be on the same bed to appear together in Film and Television City? Why couldn't they be in different places at the same time, or at different times and places, each selected by Film and Television City from their own home?" Du Qing looked at Elsa with a hint of surprise.

"Both mother and son of the same family were chosen? Well then... how did they know that the other was also in Film and Television City?" Elsa felt a bit embarrassed about asking such a dumb question.

"You turn on the terminal machine, and if your relatives from real life have also arrived in Film and Television City, there will be a prompt about it in the machine, and you can even leave messages for each other. If both playuers happen to be near a terminal machine, they can even have a video chat... That's your second question, but whatever, I've answered it for you for free," Du Qing explained a bit more to Elsa.

"Then, Brother Du..." Huang Xun started.

"It's my turn to answer," Anna cut Huang Xun off. This was a good opportunity to score points, and according to the rules, she and Du Qing were to take turns answering questions.

"Let him go first," Huang Xun yielded the opportunity to ask Anna a question to Gao Fei.

"My question is, after I get a hundred points, should I upgrade first or should it be better to lower the height of the stone pillar? Senior Anna, could you give me some advice?" Gao Fei asked Anna with a smile.

"It's hard to say, if you lower the stone pillar's height first, you can get a steady supply of drinking water, which makes it easier to survive on top of the stone pillar, thus avoiding tragedies like the grandmother who previously died of dehydration on the pillar. On the other hand, if you upgrade first, it will be easier to earn points later on."

"If you think you are quite resistant to dehydration, then of course you should upgrade first. If you're not very good with drought, it's better to lower the pillar's height first. Anyway, I chose to lower the height of the pillar first, and got access to the water supply before considering upgrading," Anna advised Gao Fei.

"Okay, thank you."

"Brother Du, is there any pattern to the distribution of the stone pillars we're on? Could you explain in detail?" Huang Xun's question had been agreed upon with Du Qing and was related to the basic rules, so it was likely to garner more points.

Sure enough, the director offered a bounty of three points for this question, but Du Qing had to provide a detailed explanation.

"The distribution of the pillars does follow a pattern, according to my understanding, which involves an element of luck. Most actors find their pillars located in areas with a comfortable climate, maintaining around twenty degrees Celsius, raining once every two or three days. Although you may go hungry, at least the rainwater can sustain you for three to five days."

"However, there are also actors who might be considered to have character issues, moral corruption, or a history of devious deeds; they are particularly unpopular with Film and Television City and end up in areas with extreme weather, like nearly forty degrees Celsius high temperatures one day and plummeting to below minus ten the next, followed by various thunderstorms and blizzards..."

As Du Qing reached this point, everyone looked at Li Teng.

It seemed the topic crafted by Huang Xun and Du Qing was a veiled way to insult Li Teng?

"Besides the weather, there's also a pattern to the distribution of the pillars."

"For example, if relatives are chosen as actors by Film and Television City, but weren't sharing the same bed beforehand, their pillars will be placed relatively close to each other. Between the closest relatives, the shortest distance between two pillars I've heard is only about ten meters."

"Of course, even though it's just ten meters apart, it's as distant as the ends of the earth; they can only shout encouragements to each other and cannot be together. This aspect is still quite cruel," Du Qing finished answering Huang Xun's question.
