Chapter 52

“You’re here?” Li Teng heard a voice behind him.

As he turned around, he saw the woman in the sunglasses. She had just walked out of the women’s bathroom by the street. She looked at Li Teng’s hospital gown and deduced the bad things Li Teng might have experienced. However, she did not ask further.

“You’re still around? Just nice, I want to let you know that I understood the hint you had given me. However, given our current situation, it is not conducive to have a relationship. I understand your kindness, but I can’t reciprocate your feelings, so…” Li Teng told the woman in the sunglasses solemnly.

He understood that her three taps were to remind him that there would be a three-day interval between the next performance. However, she had told him not to seek her out for confirmation even if he understood her message. Hence, he did not say it out explicitly.

The woman’s lips formed the shape of the word ‘scram’, but after hearing the sound of footsteps from the men’s bathroom, she retracted that word and grabbed Li Teng’s arms, shaking them as she spoke.

“Are you really not giving it another thought? From the first time I saw you, I was deeply fascinated by you, your wisdom, your bravery, your strength, you—”

The spectacled man walked out of the men’s bathroom and was a little surprised when he saw them.

The woman in the sunglasses quickly let go of Li Teng, as though she had been caught for an affair.

“I was just passing by. You can continue. Please go ahead. Hehe, I didn’t see anything.” The spectacled man laughed awkwardly as he walked off quickly.

After the spectacled man walked away, the woman in the sunglasses vomited as she leaned against the wall.

“Are you pregnant?” Li Teng showed concern.

“No, because of what I said to you just now.” The woman in the sunglasses shook her head.

…

Back at the table, the seven original crew members had all arrived.

Soon after Li Teng took his seat, the eighth actor who newly joined the crew also arrived.

He was a man in his 30s and did not seem like a rookie.

“Is that you… Big Brother Hai?” The pretty boy stood up respectfully and acknowledged the middle-aged man who was walking over.

“Are you Little Du?” The middle-aged man also acknowledged the pretty boy.

“Yes, yes! Hello, Big Brother Hai, I am Du Qing.” The pretty boy held the middle-aged man’s hand with both his hands and shook it vigorously. He then asked the middle-aged man to take the seat beside him.

The middle-aged man was Feng Dahai, an actor of the Silver Wolf Guild.

After Li Teng had killed Mrs. Guo, the Silver Wolf Guild had automatically issued a bounty to kill Li Teng.

The reward was 100 points.

Because of Du Qing’s help, the members of the Silver Wolf Guild were able to easily track down Li Teng’s crew.

The reward of 100 points was mainly issued for the character actors in the guild and those below.

When Feng Dahai refreshed his crew for the second time, he ended up in the same crew as the pretty boy, Du Qing.

After the two had a conversation via the guild channel using the terminal, Feng Dahai decided to accept this hunting mission and went to where Li Teng’s crew was to shoot a scene. He would find a suitable character to kill Li Teng in accordance with the plot, and earn this reward of 100 points.

“Which one is Li Teng?” Feng Dahai looked around at the crowd after he sat down, his eyes quickly locked on Li Teng.

The bounty contained information on Li Teng, such as his name, age, photo, etc. After seeing the photo, it’s easy to recognize Li Teng when he finally met him in person.

Li Teng heard the conversation between Du Qing and Feng Dahai earlier and saw Feng Dahai looking at him. It was pretty clear that this person was here to kill him.

The classic routine commonly found in online novels had caught up with him.

Since he had stirred the hornet’s nest, he would be attacked relentlessly.

He had used up his good fortune during the prior filming. For this filming, it seemed that he would be down on his luck again.

First, he had almost died on the top of the stone pillar, and then he had been extorted and cut alive by that doctor.

Even better, the people from the Silver Wolf Guild were now looking for him. This was a phenomenon that refused to stop until he was dead.

“Young man, don’t be afraid, I’m not a savage. I’m a civilized person.” Feng Dahai chuckled when he saw that Li Teng didn’t dare to say a word following his question.

Feng Dahai did not hold Li Teng in high regard.

He had watched the video of the previous scene where Mrs. Guo had died under Li Teng’s hands. Mrs. Guo had mistakenly thought that she had drawn a ghost lot. It turned out that she had merely been an actor acting as a ghost. In the end, she had been killed by Li Teng, a new actor who had not even had the points to exchange for ghost abilities.

It was not that Li Teng was powerful, just that Mrs. Guo had been very unlucky and stupid.

“Are you guys done? So many old actors bullying a rookie extra, what’s the point?” Gao Fei asked Feng Dahai.

“This is not bullying, this is hunting. In my eyes, he is not a rookie extra, but 100 points. Calm down, my young friend. Don’t be so quick to anger, it is bad for your health.” Feng Dahai grinned back at Gao Fei.

Feng Dahai was not as arrogant as the Guo family’s mother and son. However, this type of person belonged to the sinister type and was more difficult to deal with.

…

After everyone arrived, the director came to the table.

“Today’s performance is a confrontational performance.

“At the end of the last scene, you had learned something about a confrontational performance.

“The script for each confrontational performance is different.

“But the rules are the same.

“There are two different factions in this performance. Also, there’s an element of gamble in the final point rewards.

“The name of the script for this confrontational performance is called Lurking Wolf Warrior.

“During the war with the Japanese, my underground resistance fighter worked undercover at the Red Star Newspaper office and made great sacrifices to rouse and unite the people against the Japanese.

“However, there was a traitor at the Red Star Newspaper office, who told the enemy agents about the undercover resistance fighter. The defector chief brought his lackeys to the newspaper office under orders of the invaders to arrest the newspaper staff and tortured them severely, trying to uncover the resistance fighter so that they could kill him.”

After performing a few scenes, the director did not have to explain the plot too much. Everyone already knew it in their hearts.

According to the previous two scenes’ rules, one of the eight actors must claim the box lunch before the filming was completed. The one who claimed it must be the resistance fighter.

The others couldn’t help but look at Li Teng.

If there was a need for someone to act as a resistance fighter, this handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was definitely a suitable candidate.

Could he be so unlucky?

Li Teng was frowning deeply.

After the director had introduced the plot, he also felt that this brave resistance fighter’s role seemed to be tailored for him.

It seemed that he would be unlucky again for this scene.

“The characters in this scene include six editors from the Red Star Newspaper office, a defector chief, and a lackey. In addition, one among the six editors is the traitor who informs the defector chief.

“So, the scene is divided into two camps. One is the newspaper camp that is composed of the five editors, the other is a traitor camp composed of the defector chief and two lackeys.” After that, the director paused as the tin bucket was brought in.
