After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 701 Video Tutorial, Thirty-Year Journey
The so-called signal house was nothing more than a small area partitioned off by a few simple wooden planks and a bamboo curtain.

Inside, there were several large signal boosters used to capture weak electronic signals and amplify them to the maximum extent. You could hear the machines running inside as soon as you lifted the curtain.

Fortunately, I can now make phone calls and video calls.

There are two people in this signal room right now, each occupying a signal booster, one making a phone call and the other making a video call.

Hearing another noise at the door, the two people inside turned around and looked at each other. After glancing at each other, the one on the phone said something in dialect to the other end of the line, then hung up the phone decisively. He glanced at the call time displayed on his phone screen, muttered something, and turned to leave.

He went out, Li Chengxiao went in, and the two brushed past each other.

Li Chengxiao glanced at the bone necklace around the man's neck out of the corner of his eye, but didn't stop until he reached a signal booster placed in the corner. He then took out his phone and made a video call.

The billing method for this signal house doesn't start from when you make the call and the other party receives it; it starts from the moment you step into the signal house.

Although he is not short of money, he does not like to waste it.

Jiang Hanying answered the call quickly this time.

She was currently curled up on the tatami mat, searching for so-called luggage packing tips on her phone, but the videos she found started with a bunch of nonsense, and she became impatient before they even got to the point.

So after all that searching, I realized I wasted a lot of time and didn't learn a single skill!

Just as I was about to throw my phone down and get up to investigate on my own, I saw the video call invitation from my cheap owner. Before my brain could even process it, my hand had already tapped to answer.

"Instructor!" The network froze for two seconds before Jiang Hanying could finally see the appearance of her cheap owner on the screen.

Why is your face covered so tightly? And what is this shabby place?

Li Chengxiao noticed that Jiang Hanying seemed alright, but his gaze fell on her slightly frizzy head. As he removed his sunglasses and mask, he replied, "I forgot to take them off. This is a newly arrived inn. The conditions aren't great, but it's the only one for miles around. Otherwise, we'd have to camp out in the wild. What's wrong with you?"

"I'm packing my bags now; I have to move back to my dorm and start working tomorrow."

"Advance?"

"Hmm. But look at the luggage I packed."

As Jiang Hanying spoke, she flipped the camera, and the rear camera was pointed at the luggage that had been tidied up in a mess on the ground.

Li Chengxiao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as he watched.

He seemed to have guessed why the mark on his palm had been hot.

"If you pack like this, you'll probably need to add two more suitcases."

“I brought your box from the front yard, but it still isn’t enough. Perfect, now teach me how to pack it.”

"Well, first, let's sort the luggage..."

As he was teaching, Li Chengxiao noticed a gaze directed at him. He then glanced at Jiang Hanying, who was busy repacking her luggage according to his instructions, and saw a face that was both surprised and amused.

He's the one who came here to make videos, just like him.

When the other person saw him looking over, they nodded politely, turned around, and gracefully left.

But as soon as I stepped out of the signal room, I couldn't help but burst out laughing through the bamboo curtain.

In this area, a single minute of communication costs a full hundred dollars, equivalent to the cost of sheltering for a whole night. Even if there's something important to communicate with the outside world, it's all done in a race against time, with no wasted words. She's never seen anyone willing to spend such an expensive amount of money to teach the person on the other end of the video call how to pack their luggage.

Interesting, so interesting!
Smiling, he returned to the counter. The woman who had just served Li Chengxiao stood up and called out, "Sister, another guest has just arrived."

"Yes, I just saw him in the signal room."

“But this one feels different from the others. It feels very…” The younger sister thought for a moment, then said, “Clean, yes, very clean.”

"He's also very handsome."

"Oh, sis, did you see his face? He was checking in at the counter just now, completely covered up from head to toe. Even with my sharp eyes, all I can tell is that he has a great physique, nothing else." "He's definitely the most handsome guy you've ever seen." Seeing her sister's eyes light up, the older sister laughed and poured cold water on her enthusiasm. "But don't even think about hitting on him. He probably has a girlfriend. He seemed to be video chatting with her just now."

She was so engrossed in their conversation that she couldn't help but glance over. Almost as soon as she looked over, the other person noticed she was looking over too—they were incredibly perceptive.

However, in a split second, she still caught a glimpse of the person's gaze as they looked at the screen.

She is gentle and kind, and even when teaching someone how to pack their luggage, she is incredibly patient, without showing the slightest impatience on her face.

Based on her experience, the way the two addressed each other and their tone of voice suggested they were definitely boyfriend and girlfriend!

"Ah, alright then!" The younger sister met her older sister's warning look and had no choice but to obediently agree. She then looked at the flickering lights in the tents outside the door. "There have been noticeably more people coming into the mountains lately."

"Time flies so fast, it's almost been thirty years again."

"Sister, you're only twenty-nine years old. Don't speak in such a weathered tone like Mom, it sounds weird."

"You little brat, how dare you insult your sister!"

After the two sisters laughed and joked for a while, the older sister took a sip of water and said, "I wonder how many of the people who went into the mountains this time will come out alive."

The younger sister looked indifferent and flicked away a moth that was attracted to the light. "What's there to worry about? They're asking for it. If they're going to die, they'll just have to accept it."

"That's true."

"Oh dear, ten minutes have already passed. We'll have to make him pay more when he comes out."

In the signal room.

Jiang Hanying plopped down on the suitcase that had just been closed, picked up her phone which was propped up to the side, and flipped the camera back over. "Phew, finally all of it is stuffed in. Wait, why are you still standing?"

There are no chairs here.

Jiang Hanying: "...There aren't even any chairs. How shabby is this inn?"

"This is already considered the mountains, so it's good enough to have a guesthouse here. When I go into the mountains tomorrow, I probably won't be able to make or video calls, or send or receive messages on my phone."

"How can a guesthouse located in the mountains possibly have any business?"

"Yes, business is pretty good."

"So, do all the other people who come to stay at the inn also go into the mountains?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this place is far from human habitation, the environment is quite harsh, and the vast area of ​​the mountains and forests is a melting pot of all sorts of people."

The bone necklace he wore around his neck when we passed each other earlier was very rebellious.

There should be quite a few people like that in this inn.

However, there's no need to say these things in the video.

Be careful.

"Okay, go to sleep early."

"You should find a chair and sit down for a bit, I'm hanging up!"

After leaving the signal room, Li Chengxiao returned to the counter.

Before the person behind the counter could speak, he counted out a stack of money and handed it over.

"Not too much, not too little, just right." The younger sister stuffed the money into the locked drawer with satisfaction, looked up at the man in front of her who had covered his face again, and was a little disappointed. She wanted to see just how handsome her older sister was.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I have money.

"Handsome guy, you're going into the mountains too, right? Do you need a map of the mountains?"
