Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

It wasn't easy for the cameraman to catch up with Jiang Zhiyu, who was weaving through the alleys. With the heavy camera on his shoulder, he was soon panting and sweating profusely.

Jiang Zhiyu kept walking, and didn't forget to look back twice at the photographer who was following him in a disheveled state.

Although he currently has enough stamina to run around the small town, his opponent clearly does not.

So when he ran past a small courtyard with a half-open door, he suddenly stopped and twisted his waist to dive into the courtyard.

When the cameraman came in and pointed the camera at him again, he was already crouching behind the door, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes wide open, listening intently to the sounds outside.

Fortunately, the men in black temporarily lost track of Jiang Zhiyu.

"Rest here for a while," Jiang Zhiyu said in a low voice, almost in a whisper.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked around at the surroundings. He found that there were no signs of cleaning, and the old furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Actually, it wasn't just here; many of the street corners he passed were in an undeveloped stage, appearing to be underutilized. This is unusual for such a large-scale live-action film studio, as if it had never been put into use.

He pondered silently in his heart, but did not utter his question aloud.

Director's Room.

The busy work atmosphere was suddenly broken by a vibrating cell phone. The staff looked at each other in bewilderment: "Whose phone is that?"

Hong Liu calmly took out his phone from his pocket, walked outside to the door amidst the surprised looks of the staff, and answered the call.

"..."

"Yes, it was indeed a mistake by the production team. Fortunately, no one was injured and there was no impact on the production team."

"..."

"Yes, of course I know that this venue was provided by you free of charge. Thank you very much. We have generated a lot of revenue."

"..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Jiang Zhiyu."

"..."

"The subsequent development of this film and television city is entrusted to me? Oh, hahaha! Of course I'd be happy to, it would be my honor!"

Hong Liu hung up the phone with satisfaction. This unexpected "gift" made him quite happy. He thought to himself that it was indeed a high-risk but high-reward thing to withstand the pressure and keep Jiang Zhiyu's identity a secret from everyone.

But is River the only identity Jiang Zhiyu has? Why are so many people contacting me one after another?

Hong Liu couldn't help but imagine the scenario, and the thought sent shivers down his spine. He shook his head, lowered his head, pulled a cigarette from the pack, and just as he put it in his mouth, intending to feel a pang of melancholy—

"Director Hong! Smoking is prohibited in the film studio!"

He sheepishly put it away, turned around and went back to the director's room to continue watching the broadcast screen.

Jiang Zhiyu stayed inside for a while, and only after seeing that it was quiet outside did he cautiously peek out again.

He walked even more carefully this time, avoiding even the NPCs and other trainees who passed by.

After all, anyone who isn't an idiot could see that there was something unusual about the encirclement just now.

Over the next few tens of minutes, he focused on the blind spots of the men in black, searching for fragments with precision. He explored every nook and cranny of the wall, the side of the well, the bottom of the abandoned cart, and the groove on the back of the stone steps, finding several pieces of inspiration.

Jiang Jiang continues her treasure hunt!

Looking at the current progress of the fragments, Jiang Zhiyu is definitely in first place. He's so lucky; how can he find so many?

[How could it be luck? Jiang Jiang managed to escape unscathed from the encirclement of two men in black, and she even found those fragments in those nooks and crannies entirely by relying on her own eyesight. That's clearly skill!]

【That's it! 】

Jiang Zhiyu looks slender, but he's actually quite strong; his muscles are very well-defined and eye-catching.

[But isn't he hot? Why is he wearing long sleeves and wrapped up so tightly in this sweltering heat while running around on business? Is he afraid of the cold? Or is there some reason we don't know?]

Time ticked by, eighty minutes passed, and the countdown entered its final ten minutes. The city's public address system broadcast the announcements precisely on time:

"Attention everyone, only ten minutes remain until the mission ends!"

In the last ten minutes, the men in black became more active, capturing several trainees who were hiding.

Jiang Zhiyu sat in a room, carefully counting the fragments of inspiration in his hands.

"Eleven... I wonder if that's enough for the top eight..."

He frowned and muttered to himself, not very satisfied with the result. He had wasted too much time being surrounded by men in black, which affected his subsequent progress.

That's enough! Let's take a break!

[We've already surpassed second place by four pieces; now we can just rest inside!]

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhiyu was really unlucky today. He was hesitating whether to go out and scout ahead in the last few minutes when the front gate was suddenly pushed open.

The trainee who pushed open the door was a panicked individual who had been relentlessly pursued by a man in black, unable to shake him off no matter what he did.

The trainees were also stunned when they ran in. They didn't expect that the TOP1 was sitting in the room they randomly picked.

The man in black followed closely behind and saw Jiang Zhiyu sitting in the inner room almost simultaneously.

[That man in black looks familiar; it seems to be the one he just dumped.]

Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What a small world."

The other party clearly recognized him as well, and almost immediately abandoned the trainee he was about to acquire. Remembering the task previously given by the production team, he took off and ran towards Jiang Zhiyu.

"Brother, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Zhiyu whispered something to the photographer, then suddenly stood up amidst the photographer's bewildered gaze, and strode towards the back door, leaving only a disappearing figure behind.

"Huh? Ah!" The photographer belatedly realized what was happening and barely managed to catch up with the man in black.

The next few minutes were essentially a physical fitness test session for Jiang Zhiyu, provided by the production team.

He navigated the intricate streets and alleys of the city, always followed by a serious-looking man in black and a photographer who was panting heavily.

"I...I can't keep up..." The photographer finally stopped, panting, as the two people in front of him gradually disappeared from the frame.

As a result, viewers of this live stream had to "wander around the streets and alleys," searching for the two figures chasing and running in other live streams.

Many passersby and spectators witnessed this scene: a boy running freely ahead, pursued by a man in black with a solemn expression, not even glancing at other trainees who were nearby.

After Jiang Zhiyu realized that the cameraman was no longer following him and had completely lost his concern about the other person's physical strength, he became more agile. The wind lifted his hair, revealing his smiling eyes, which was captured by the cameras in other live broadcast rooms.

He ran forward without any worries, like a truly carefree teenager.

Why is he running so happily?

I don't know why, but I feel like this is the first time Jiang Jiang has been this relaxed in a long time.

Seeing this scene brings a sense of comfort, like seeing your own child release stress...

[This part was great! I'll never say this part is tiring for my child again. He's so happy QaQ]

[I didn't know why I always felt that Jiang Zhiyu was carrying a heavy burden on his mind and was very mature, but now that he's showing youthful energy, I belatedly realized that he's just a seventeen-year-old kid...]

I suddenly feel like crying, help!
