The people of the Free State becoming celebrities in the Great Xia Empire?
Madness?
“I didn’t ask,” Jiang Changfeng shook his head slightly. “But it’s definitely not simple. Dad, you’re a blabbermouth, don’t spread it around.”
“Nonsense,” Jiang Luying slapped him on the head. “I understand that much. Miss Si trusts us; we can’t cause her trouble.”
Jiang Changfeng, expressionless, said, “I’m going to ask the Third Elder for a gaming pod.”
“Go, go,” Jiang Luying was gleeful. “Ah, in the future, let Ningning bring me the seeds. You’re not four-star yet; you can’t do it.”
Jiang Changfeng: ‘ .
He left the house, taking several detours to the Elder Village entrance.
The Third Elder was still lying on the rocking chair, leisurely smoking his pipe.
Upon hearing Jiang Changfeng’s request, he expressed surprise, “What do you want with an abandoned gaming pod?”
Jiang Changfeng, with a deadpan face, replied, “To dismantle and study.”
“Oh.” The Third Elder nodded, “Almost forgot you participated in that international joint exam, a science student. Alright, go get it. It’s in the back mountain. By the way, are you confident about tomorrow’s assessment?” Jiang Changfeng paused, then responded, “Yeah.”
“Be careful,” the Third Elder added with concern. “Your old rival has gained a lot from the game; his pharmaceutical skills might surpass yours now. Prepare well.”
Meanwhile, Si Fuqing returned to the program camp.
The other guests were still gathered around the bonfire.
“Qingqing, come here, I saved you a skewer of grilled eggs,” Ning Luoyao waved. “Su God grilled them, his skills are no less than yours.” Su Yang, eyes downcast, began to speak, “Actually, I just—”
Si Fuqing glanced at him.
Su Yang fell silent.
[Si Fuqing’s presence is truly strong.] [I have a feeling Su God was about to say he learned grilling from Si Fuqing.] [You’re not the only one who thinks so.]
[Forget it, why imagine such things? How could they meet in a bar and learn to grill?]
Si Fuqing joyfully ate the skewers, feeling very content with life.
Suddenly, her ears twitched.
“Ah—!” Ning Luoyao screamed. “Qingqing, be careful! There are two scorpions next to you!”
Si Fuqing’s hearing was extraordinary, and her actions were swift.
As the scorpions sprayed their venom, she had already poured out the hot water from her cup.
Si Fuqing patted Ning Luoyao’s back, reassuring her, “It’s okay, it’s over now.”
While speaking, she emotionlessly disposed of the scorpions’ venom glands and threw them into the trash bin.
“I’ve scattered realgar powder around, and the crew cleaned this place too,” Ning Luoyao was still shaken. “How could such things still appear?”
Ning Luoyao’s scream also alerted the others.
Su Yang’s expression changed: “What happened?!”
“Why are there scorpions here?” the director rushed over. “Quick, Miss Si, we’ll take you to the hospital!”
The live audience was also stunned.
[Is Qingqing alright?!]
[She’s fine, she reacted quickly and wasn’t touched by the venom. I was so scared. 1
Si Fuqing didn’t refuse, “Mhmm.”
Xu Jiannian volunteered, “I’ll take you.”
Su Yang turned, “You have a car? If not, what’s the use? By the time you get there, it would be too late.”
Si Fuqing:
Cursing her?
“Let’s go.” Su Yang stood up. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Hurry, hurry,” the director was frantic. “Miss Si, take a break from survival tomorrow; health is more important.”
An unexpected day off made Si Fuqing feel even more relaxed, her expression visibly brightening, “Director, you’re such a good person.”
She conveniently planned to check the Miracle Doctor Alliance’s assessment.
The scorpions hadn’t affected her at all.
In the end, Si Fuqing didn’t go to the hospital but decided to stay at a hotel for the night.
However, as soon as she arrived downstairs, she was stopped.
She glanced at the young man sitting in the wheelchair, lowered her hat a bit, and said to Su Yang, “Let’s turn around and find another hotel while we’re not noticed.”
Su Yang sighed, “I’m afraid it’s too late, Sister, be brave.”
Si Fuqing:
This wasn’t about courage; it was about money.
But running away now was pointless. If her boss was here, it meant he had seen the live broadcast.
Yu Xiheng leisurely extended a hand towards her, his tone mild, “Come here.”
Si Fuqing didn’t move.
“Year-end bonus.”
Si Fuqing moved, greeting him, “Wow, what a coincidence to meet you here, boss..”
