Chapter 454: Chen Chichi, the Victim of a Prank

Chen Chichi looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

He had also watched the first episode of *The Longing for Life* and seen Chen Mo cooking in it.

To be honest.

If there was any controversy about the show, the biggest point of contention was Chen Mo’s cooking.

In the eyes of ordinary viewers, Chen Mo was the person least likely to know how to cook in the entire program.

Yet, the person responsible for cooking for the guests was actually Chen Mo.

And the guests’ feedback had been quite good.

They all thought Chen Mo’s cooking was delicious.

Judging from the video footage, the meals Chen Mo prepared looked delicious, and their presentation was in no way inferior to the chefs at a grand hotel.

Could a young man who had just turned twenty really make such food?

Even Chen Chichi believed that the production team had hired a professional chef, and that during filming, Chen Mo just went through the motions of stir-frying a few dishes.

But the food actually served on the table was prepared by the chef the production team had brought in.

However, looking at the current situation, there was no chef to be found on set!

"If I don't cook, are you going to do it?"

Chen Mo smiled helplessly and held the spatula out toward Chen Chichi.

Chen Chichi was so startled he waved his hands in a hurry.

"No, no, I don't know how to cook. If I cooked, everyone would get food poisoning today."

Chen Chichi was quite honest and told the camera directly that he didn't know how to cook.

After saying this, Chen Chichi still found it hard to believe, his eyes fixed intently on Chen Mo as he cooked.

Whether it was chopping vegetables or tossing the wok, Chen Mo’s movements left Chen Chichi dazzled.

"Brother Mo is so awesome."

Halfway through watching, Chen Chichi couldn't help but offer sincere praise.

"Right? We were also terrified when we first saw it."

Yang Mi chuckled.

If one hadn't seen Chen Mo cooking with their own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to believe that the most popular youth in the world could also cook so well.

Soon the food was on the table, and Chen Chichi kept swallowing his saliva as he looked at the spread.

"Let's eat."

Chen Mo wiped his hands and invited everyone to eat.

"Wow, Brother Mo, you're incredible. If you ever stop being a star, you could open a restaurant and have people lining up to eat at any time."

Chen Chichi picked up a chopstick full of food, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

This was beyond the level of just being delicious.

It was the best food Chen Chichi had ever eaten in his life.

"I suddenly feel like all the work I did today was worth it. If I could have another meal cooked by Brother Mo, I wouldn't mind doing more work, it’s just a pity I have to leave before noon tomorrow."

Within a few sentences, Chen Chichi had finished another bowl of rice.

"That’s what you said, then."

Hearing Chen Chichi’s words, Chen Mo smiled.

"What do you mean?"

A bad premonition suddenly welled up in Chen Chichi’s heart.

Sure enough, the mischievous smile on Chen Mo’s face became more obvious.

"We usually get up at seven in the morning here. When you wake up tomorrow, I'll make you breakfast, and you can finish shucking the rest of the corn before you leave."

Chen Mo grinned mischievously at Chen Chichi.

Can he even do that?

Chen Chichi was stunned.

He had thought he could sleep until after ten o'clock and then just leave.

This show was too ruthless.

Watching Chen Chichi’s deflated expression, Brother and the others couldn't stop laughing.

If anyone was going to be devious, it had to be Chen Mo.

In the evening, after the guests returned to their rooms to sleep, Xu Xiaofeng appeared beside Chen Mo to report on work.

It had been like this for a while.

Chen Mo usually worked while everyone else was asleep.

"Brother Mo, *The Longing for Life* is very popular, and there is a lot of buzz about you online. People hope you can film another movie or drama. Are you still planning to rest during this period, or do you intend to join a production?"

Xu Xiaofeng asked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't speak, but tapped on his chair.

Indeed.

Chen Mo had been saying he was recording a variety show, but in reality, he was also resting.

"Help me prepare, I'm going to join a production."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and spoke.

Hearing that Chen Mo was going to join a production, Xu Xiaofeng was very excited.

She was Chen Mo’s biggest fan herself.

Every time Chen Mo joined a production, it meant another good work was coming.

"Brother Mo, what are you planning to film this time?"

Xu Xiaofeng looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"*Ghost Blows Out the Light*."

Chen Mo smiled mysteriously.

*Ghost Blows Out the Light*?

Xu Xiaofeng was stunned; she had never heard of this name.

It sounded like a horror movie.

"Brother Mo, is this *Ghost Blows Out the Light* a movie? Do we need to make any preparations in advance?"

Xu Xiaofeng asked Chen Mo.

"No, it's a novel, a tomb-raiding theme. I plan to adapt it into a television series."

Chen Mo said.

Tomb-raiding?

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Xu Xiaofeng became even more curious.

It seemed that so far, there hadn't been any tomb-raiding themed dramas in China; or rather, many people didn't even understand what the words "tomb-raiding" meant.

This was normal.

In Chen Mo’s past life, *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* and *Ghost Blows Out the Light* were extremely popular.

Especially *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles*, which had become a phenomenal success; almost all teenagers at the time knew about this novel.

The derivative film and television works also sold for a lot of money.

However, *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* could only be considered fan fiction of *Ghost Blows Out the Light*; in terms of both detail and content, *Ghost Blows Out the Light* was the truly profound novel.

In his past life, the tomb-raiding genre became popular quite late, and by then, film and television censorship was very strict.

So many parts could not be broadcast according to the original plot.

Now it was different; it was currently 2009, and many things could still easily pass censorship.

If *Ghost Blows Out the Light* could be filmed now, it would definitely be a huge hit.

It was just that the author, Tianxia Bachang, was still serializing it, so if they were to film it, they could only start from the first volume.

Although Xu Xiaofeng had been listening to Chen Mo, she still didn't quite understand.

Anyway, Chen Mo could decide these things himself.

As long as it was Chen Mo, he wouldn't make the wrong choice.

After arranging the filming for *Ghost Blows Out the Light*, Chen Mo returned to his room to sleep.

"No, Momo, Chen Chichi is sleeping too soundly, I can't wake him up."

Brother retreated from the room, laughing and crying.

He had never seen someone sleep so soundly. No matter how much he shouted, he couldn't wake him.

And Chen Chichi wasn't doing it on purpose; he was truly dead to the world.

Chen Chichi already had trouble getting up in the morning, and after working for so long yesterday, he was even less capable of getting up now.

"I'll do it."

Chen Mo twitched his eyebrows, walked over to the production team's staff, and looked around for a towel.

Waking someone up was easy.

He looked for a long time, finally setting his eyes on a suona in the corner, and then, with a mischievous smile, picked it up from the staff.

No way?

The staff member suddenly looked at Chen Chichi on the camera with a bit of pity.
