Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 87: Small Square



If he succeeded in pranking the newcomer and scared them to the point they wet their pants, he would receive a reward of 5 points.

Even if he didn't scare the newcomer to that extent, but instead angered them into beating him up, he would still earn 5 points.

Telling the newcomer the rules of filming and successfully leading them to the set would net an additional 5 points in rewards.

That meant as long as he completed this task, he could gain an extra 10 points!

Of course, 5 of those points would be used to pay off debts, so he would actually only get 5 points.

A mosquito is still meat; Li Teng quickly clicked confirm to take on the task.

In order not to waste time and fail the mission, Li Teng skipped ordering a meal and immediately ran out to a costume shop on the street.

After entering the costume shop, he didn't know which outfit was the special costume for the newcomer assistance task, so he had to go to the costume area to look for it first.

Upon reaching the costume section, Li Teng didn't need to expend much effort to find the special costume.

Because the costume was in a locked cabinet by the wall, when Li Teng approached, the cabinet door automatically opened, revealing the outfit with the words 'Newcomer Assistance Task Special Costume' written on it.

After changing into this outfit, he could blend into the wax museum and pretend to be one of the wax figures.

The costume also came with a set of control devices: a wristwatch and a pair of gloves.

The wristwatch could open the location system and show the current location of the newcomer.

There were also some simple menus and some instruction documents.

At the fingertips of the gloves were control buttons, and by using certain combinations, he could manipulate the wax figures in the wax museum, ordering them to gather by the door, look toward someone simultaneously, and so forth.

He could wear all these costumes until the end of the current shoot. Since they were rented, he couldn't take them back to the stone pillar.

Of course, if there were specific costumes for the performance, those would have to be changed into.

After getting dressed and becoming proficient with the control commands, Li Teng quickly headed towards the location of the newcomer he intended to 'help', according to the positioning system in his wristwatch.

Li Teng had never been to the birthplace of this newcomer before.

It wasn't by the beach but at a small plaza.

She was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a year or two older than Daisy.

When Li Teng arrived at the plaza, the helicopter that had delivered the girl had just taken off after dropping her.

Wearing a pink bunny costume pajama set with long rabbit ears, her appearance was somewhat cute. At the moment, she stood terrified and confused in the plaza, looking around.

After a while, the girl started walking towards a small restaurant on the edge of the plaza.

Like Li Teng, after starving for several days on the stone pillar, upon arriving in Film and Television City, the restaurant would naturally attract her first to find something to eat.

Li Teng followed behind the girl, found a suitable spot to hide, and then observed her every move.

After entering the restaurant, the girl didn't order food, and soon came out again.

Then, she noticed the wax museum across the plaza.

The wax museum didn't have a sign, and newcomers arriving for the first time might not necessarily realize it was a wax museum.

The first thing that caught the newcomer's attention was the two women standing in front of the wax museum.

People might mistake them for real individuals nearby.

Indeed, the girl assumed the two women were alive. She cautiously walked toward the wax museum, carefully observing the two women by the door, and stopped about five meters away from them.

"Hello!" not noticing any movement from the two women, she stopped and tried to raise her hand to greet them.

Obviously, she wouldn't receive any response.

"Go in! Hurry up and go in!" Li Teng wanted the girl to enter the wax museum as quickly as possible so he could swiftly complete his task of earning points.

The girl seemed a bit scared; she did not move forward but looked at the two women for a while, then turned and walked in a different direction.

"This is getting troublesome," Li Teng frowned.

If the girl wouldn't voluntarily enter the wax museum, how could he deceive her into going inside?

When Li Teng had first entered the wax museum, he was lured by the sound of Gao Fei's footsteps, step by step into the wax museum.

Li Teng, who was quite courageous, wasn't frightened by the motionless wax figures and even boldly touched them, dashing in immediately upon hearing footsteps inside.

But the girl seemed very timid and cautious, staying far from strange places like the wax museum. If Li Teng were to hide inside and make footsteps, there would only be one result.

That would be to scare the girl away.

The girl did not approach the wax museum; instead, she went to places like the costume shop but didn't enter, standing at the door to carefully observe inside, trying to understand the situation she was facing.

After waiting for a while, Li Teng grew impatient.

He wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and then hurry to the coffee shop.

Coming so early today, the snacks laid out on the tables in front of the coffee shop should still be there, right?

If he delayed too long, the snacks would definitely be devoured by the other actors by then.

Soon, Li Teng thought of a method to get the girl into the wax museum.

He took off his dress clothes and stuffed them into a plastic bag, hiding the bag near the wax museum.

Wearing only a hospital gown, he hid in a small alley near the plaza, then wrapped some ragged pajamas around his head like bandages, leaving only his eyes exposed.

He also grabbed a piece of branch from a nearby tree and wrapped it in the ragged pajamas.

Then, he let out a series of beast-like howls and charged out of the alley.

Hospital gown, bandage-covered face, strange weapon in hand...

He looked every bit the antagonist mini-boss from a video game.

The girl was so terrified that she screamed and fled across the plaza.

How could the girl match Li Teng's speed? It wasn't long before Li Teng caught up with her from behind.

When Li Teng caught up with the girl, he pretended to clumsily overshoot her, before turning around and lunging at the girl with another howl.

The girl kept on screaming, kept on fleeing.

And then, step by step, she was cornered by the 'monster' Li Teng was playing, right in front of the wax museum.

Eventually, with no escape, the girl had no choice but to hide inside the wax museum.

After rushing into the wax museum, the figures inside frightened the girl into continuing to scream loudly. To prevent her from turning and running out, Li Teng howled a few more times outside.

Sure enough, the girl didn't dare to come out.

Li Teng retrieved the hidden plastic bag and quickly changed back into his dress clothes while continuing to imitate a beast's howl outside to scare the girl from coming out.

After changing into his dress clothes, Li Teng carefully approached.

Trying not to be discovered by the girl, Li Teng lay on the ground, observing while crawling forward to enter the wax museum.

After slithering in, the scene he witnessed made him frown.

"You've got to be kidding?"
