Chapter 33 Being Born Human! I'm Sorry! The Female Ghost Has Encountered the Biggest Trouble of Her Life! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

During the break, a series of topics related to Running Man quickly dominated the trending searches.

Exposure resources that are usually hard to come by have now appeared on the trending topics list in an unprecedented way, without any promotion or support.

#Dilraba was shoved!#
#The biggest PR disaster in the history of Chinese entertainment!#
#The obscure celebrity has changed!#
#@Sister Zheng, the simp Ming of the past is dead. Did you choose him, idol?!#
#There's no limit to how crazy it can get!#
#A drunkard is in serious trouble; his life is hanging in the balance!#
#……#
When netizens saw the top trending topic, they were shocked. Was this "shovel" the same "shovel" they were referring to?

Onlookers quickly went on a whirlwind of discussion. Although the topic differed somewhat from what they had been speculating about, when they saw the GIF of Lü Ming decisively sliding in and shoving Reba into the mud, and even finishing her off without hesitation, netizens went wild!

In the past, even female celebrities who weren't particularly attractive and were older would be fawned over and pampered when they appeared on variety shows. This phenomenon has become the norm in the Chinese entertainment industry and is a consensus that everyone tacitly agrees on. After all, in front of the camera, everyone wears a thick layer of disguise and tries their best to give themselves a positive aura.

Lu Ming, who doesn't follow the usual path, is truly a unique figure in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry!
The explosive program's impact quickly drew netizens to book their evening live stream on the Kiwi app. Even those who hadn't used Kiwi for years, or even those who had never used it before, flocked to app stores to download the Kiwi app, eager to witness the show's success.

Even before the live stream started, people had already made all sorts of VIP reservations!
Looking at the unprecedented success of the show, which led to a surge in new users and broke multiple historical revenue records on its platform, kiwi CEO Wang Gang grinned from ear to ear: "This isn't just a nobody, this is practically a walking God of Wealth!"

Ding Ding Ding!
The phone rang, and Wang Gang saw that it was his business partner calling.

He happily pressed the answer button, only to hear Director Jiang's voice filled with jealousy: "You made a fortune today, didn't you?"

"A small profit, a small profit..." Wang Gang waved his hand dismissively, but he couldn't hide the joy in his voice.

Since the TV station couldn't broadcast it live, and seeing kiwifruit become a rocket to wealth, the entire management team at Jiangzhe Station was practically drooling with envy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the station director finally laid his cards on the table:
“We’ve landed a new exclusive sponsorship, and the sponsor doesn’t want to miss out on this wave of popularity. They’re requiring each guest to recite the advertisement at least once during tonight’s live stream. I’ve already notified them, and everyone else is fine. It’s just that nobody. I’m a little worried he might cause some trouble again. You’re the one who put him in here, so I need your help to push this through.”

Gangzi shook his head: "If you're worried about accidents, why go through all that trouble? Why not just let the other guests do it?"

"Do you think I don't want to?" the station director confessed. "The sponsor said they don't care if others slack off, but nobodies have to give it their all and do a good job!"

"I've never had any contact with Huka..." Gangzi was at a loss.

"..."

Seeing that there was silence on the other end of the phone, he thought for a moment and decided not to put the TV station in a difficult position.

After all, the program copyright was bought by someone else; they were merely agents for the online live streaming rights. The unexpectedly huge success during the recording phase has generated massive traffic for the platform. Even after this episode ends, with the phenomenal hit variety show "Running Man" in their hands, they will be able to threaten the position of the big brother, Che, for some time to come.

With such a bright future ahead, it wouldn't be right for Jiang Zhetai, who had been busy doing all the dirty and tiring work, to not even get a sip of soup.

"So, what brand are you going to work for? I'll give them a call later and help you make the arrangements."

The station director's voice softened: "Installment loans are enjoyable in moderation, and even better when you can actually borrow. If you need money, just look for installment loans—it's simple and fun!"

After a moment of silence, Wang Gang said quietly, "You guys are truly ruthless!"

"Likewise." An awkward laugh came from the other end of the phone. He understood perfectly well what Wang Gang was implying.

Frankly speaking, as a physical television station, they are generally unwilling to accept these advertisements, but the offers from the other party are simply too high. Now, having big sponsors is their principle.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Gang got Lü Ming's private number from someone and dialed it. Five minutes later, Gangzi sat at his desk with a strange expression, looking somewhat hesitant.

Gangzi didn't know if it was because Huka was still drunk or because the other party was genuinely willing to give him face. He had hinted several times that he could take the opportunity to ask for some kickbacks, but Lü Ming simply ignored him, as if he didn't understand. However, Lü Ming assured him that he would take care of it. As a result, even though the matter was settled, Gangzi still had a feeling of unease.

At that moment, the station director called again, clearly taking it very seriously.

"So, is it done?"

"It's all taken care of. He said he'll handle it!"

"That's great! I must meet this washed-up actor in person after the show and give him a big red envelope as encouragement!"

"..."

……

At seven o'clock in the evening.

The kiwi livestream room was packed with viewers. As soon as the screen connected, the online viewership had already surpassed the peak reached in the afternoon. Its popularity was so explosive that even the staff of Penguin and Coolfilm, who were lurking in the livestream room to scout out the competition, exclaimed "Holy crap!"

Having nothing to do today, Sister Zheng invited her agent and assistant to gather in her mansion to watch the live stream.

"Huka is so popular right now."

"How could she not be popular? Ever since she participated in the recording of Running Man, our sister has been trending on social media every few days. If she weren't a washed-up celebrity, I wouldn't believe how high her commercial value is!"

"If he realizes his mistake and takes advantage of his current popularity to come back and apologize, and then he and Sister Zheng create a CP (couple pairing) together, it will probably become a beautiful story in the Chinese entertainment industry, right?"

Hearing her manager and assistant's exclamations, Sister Zheng suddenly dug her nails into an orange, juice spilling out:
"Heh, does he think I have to forgive him just because he came back and admitted his mistake? I've never wanted to be associated with him!"

"Even if he's popular now, it's just superficial. The cocktail brand he ruined is demanding 1 billion yuan in damages from the company just for breach of contract! Don't say this popularity is only temporary. Even if he ate negative publicity for the rest of his life, he still couldn't pay off such a huge debt. He's like a sycophant trying to eat dates—it's doomed!"

"I heard he even tore off the 'sycophant' label from his clothes today. Isn't that obviously a publicity stunt? It's hilarious that those uninformed netizens actually believed it."

"I want to see how he'll survive after this episode is over, when he's bankrupt and Hua Yue has blacklisted him. He'll be left with no one to turn to!"

The agent and assistant immediately snapped out of their daze.

Yes, although these obscure celebrities seem to be doing very well now, and in terms of popularity alone, they are comparable to those who were top stars with countless fans back then, they all agree with Sister Zheng's point when they think about the troubles these obscure celebrities have.

Faced with capital and Huayue, an individual with zero real strength and whose popularity relies entirely on sensationalism is destined to be no match for them.

……

As soon as the live stream started, the three teams were blindfolded by men in black the moment they entered Happy Valley. They were then forcibly separated and taken one by one to a deserted area to wait.

Shortly after, an announcement came over the Happy Valley:

"Game begins! Please remove your blindfolds!"

"Game begins! Please remove your blindfolds!"

After removing his blindfold, Lü Ming found himself in complete darkness.

"???"

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Where the hell am I? It's so dark, how am I supposed to get out?!"

Lu Ming looked around in a daze. The next second, he touched something hard and round. Before he could react, eerie and chilling ghostly screams came from all around him!
"..." He was silent for three seconds, then smiled sadly: "I think I know where I am!" "Is the PD here? I know you're here, quickly turn on the flashlight and shine it on me."

His calls went unanswered.

Hearing the eerie screams all around him, Lü Ming felt inexplicably scared. He was the type of person who would tremble easily when scared, and when he trembled, he would feel cold all over. When he felt cold, he would want to have a couple of bites!

When participating in a program, you don't have to bring other things, but you must bring your drinks with you at all times.

Lu Ming reached into his pocket and pulled out a small silver wine flask, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp.

[Ding! Host detected drinking 'Flying Moutai', 'Voice Cavity Basics' +30!]

[Ding! Host detected drinking 'Flying Moutai', 'Performance Basics' +40!]

[[Performance Basics] Advanced: LV1!]

That's right, this small flask contains Moutai, a type of liquor with an alcohol content of up to 53°.

Lu Ming only brought two bottles of Maotai for this trip. Considering that tonight was the last segment of the first episode's recording, and in order to enjoy himself to the fullest, Lu Ming decisively opened a bottle of Maotai and put it in a small wine flask to carry with him.

Good stuff is good stuff, as evidenced by the significant improvement in proficiency.

As the scalding liquor went down his throat, Lü Ming felt as if he had swallowed a red-hot iron, his whole body burning with unbearable heat!
Even though the eerie screams around him were still chilling, Lü Ming was no longer so afraid.

He held the irregular sphere he had groped out of the darkness in one hand and took another sip from the wine jug in the other. Just then, a beam of white light suddenly appeared in front of him, along with a pale and ferocious face!

Lü Ming's pupils contracted!

The white light suddenly disappeared, and darkness returned. As the sound of high heels echoed on the floor, a nameless fear gripped Lü Ming's heart. Just as he was at a loss, the white light reappeared, this time illuminating a white dress stained with large patches of blood!
As the flashlight beam shone upwards, Lü Ming clearly saw that what he was holding in his right hand was a chilling, bloodstained skull!
"I'm sorry for being born a human!"

Female ghost: "?"

The next second, to the female ghost's astonishment, Lü Ming used all his strength to throw the skull in his hand like a cannonball in the direction of the flashlight beam!

boom! ! !
"Mute!!"

A sharp roar echoed through the empty space, followed by a 'clatter' sound as the beam of light abruptly disappeared. Lü Ming could clearly hear the sound of the flashlight rolling on the ground.

He strode forward in the darkness and soon felt someone lying dead at his feet. After groping around, he finally found the flashlight that the other person had dropped by the wall. He turned it on and a hideous face appeared before him. The girl's makeup was very eerie, but unfortunately, she was lying motionless on the ground and posed no threat at all.

Lu Ming gently touched the other person's cheek and sighed, "Even in this state, you still tried to imitate ghostly cries before you died. You are more dedicated than my good-for-nothing teacher Huang. If he had your attitude, he would have lived a decent life long ago."

"Wake up, wake up!"

Lu Ming shook the girl twice to wake her up, but as soon as he did, a large pool of bright red blood gushed out from under her. Lu Ming initially thought it was a blood pack from an NPC for a more realistic scare effect, but when he smelled the thick stench of blood in the air, his expression changed drastically.
"Help! Help! The NPC is bleeding!"

"Someone has died!!"

The director and screenwriter, who were monitoring the scene backstage, were astonished.

It would be a lie to say that their arrangement of such a unique spawn point for Lü Ming wasn't influenced by personal feelings. In fact, to create the best horror atmosphere, they even sent the PDs outside, just to see Lü Ming make a fool of himself. But to their utter surprise, the nobody wasn't scared at all; instead, it was the scary NPC who got into trouble!
"Hurry and save them!" the screenwriter urged anxiously.

The director, pale-faced and at a loss, suddenly saw the NPC who had been lying down wake up. He stopped his partner, saying, "Wait a minute, let's hear what they have to say!"

In the surveillance footage, the female ghost, barely alive, looked at Lü Ming and said, "Brother Hu... Huka, I'm not dead!"

"But you've lost a lot of blood!" Lu Ming exclaimed in fear.

"It's okay, Mr. Fool, I have period cramps every month. Those two movements you made me leak my period..."

Lü Ming: "..."

Director team: "..."

"Your physique... is quite robust."

"It's... not bad!"

[I'm dying of laughter! What the heck? My period is leaking everywhere! Are even NPCs this funny now?]

You can always trust the entertainment value of a washed-up celebrity; this guy may not survive, but he'll never be without work!

I've seen plenty of haunted houses, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone actually kill an NPC inside one!

[My buddy was all prepared to be terrified by some obscure celebrity, and this is what you show me?]

[Teacher Huang: Although I'm not human, you really are a dog!]

[I thought this nobodies being born in a haunted house meant they were in trouble, but I didn't expect him to actually start a fight!]

[They've definitely run into trouble; NPC has encountered the biggest problem of his career!]

After helping the girl up, he felt safe enough to tour the haunted house with the help of a flashlight. During the tour, he even found several boxes that had been placed there by the production crew, but unfortunately, they were all marked 'empty' when he opened them.

The girl, whose period was leaking from being hit by her own fist, kept popping up, screaming and suddenly lying down to cause trouble. Half an hour later, she went too far and actually hung upside down from the ventilation duct above, but because she used too much force, she fell headfirst onto the floor...

Seeing that Lü Ming remained unmoved, the girl was on the verge of tears:
"Brother, just pretend you were scared, otherwise I'm afraid the other ghosts will laugh at me behind my back tomorrow. I'll be too ashamed to show my face in the ghost world, waaaaah..."

"Hey sis, it's not that you don't have any pebbles, it's just that my threshold is a bit high."

"Here's what I'm going to do: find me a zombie outfit, then come over and lie down in the crevice under this coffin. I guarantee you'll be trending tonight and become the Ghost King of this Happy Valley!"

The girl's eyes lit up: "Zun Du, fake Du?"

"Zunzundu! Zunzunjindu!"

Upon hearing this, the girl excitedly went to find him some clothes. Before long, in addition to the zombie outfit, she even thoughtfully brought along his makeup tools.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, reused the clue boxes he had collected earlier, placing them in coffins, on the ceiling, and in very conspicuous places in the haunted house as bait.

After doing all this, he put on makeup with the help of the NPCs. Once he was sure that he looked really scary, he settled the girl in and then went to lie down in the coffin in another room, quietly waiting for someone destined to take the bait.
