Chapter 11: Scaring oneself, god-level active skill! [New book seeking flowers!]

With the joy of success, Cai Xukun returned to the lounge.

He had expected to be met with congratulations.

Instead, he saw everyone lying weakly on the sofa, panting heavily, looking exhausted.

It was as if they had just come off a battlefield.

Hmm?

What happened?

I wasn't even this tired after running that tense and exciting race.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Cai Xukun asked, confused.

"Watching you run, my heart almost jumped out."

Li Chen said irritably.

"Kunkun, don't be so intense next time; just get forty points."

"Look at how you scared Father Sha." ===== CHAPTER 24 =====

Guo Dalin patted Sha Yi’s back, helping him ease his breathing.

Old people can't handle the excitement.

"Watching you run for fifty, I don't even dare to challenge it now."

Zheng Kai was between laughter and tears.

He had been full of ambition just a moment ago, but after watching the challenge, he felt completely deflated.

Damn.

So intense!

Could he handle it?

"Is it really that powerful?"

Cai Xukun was even more confused.

It was thrilling and exciting just now, but it was just that, right? He could handle it.

Why were they...

"Watch the recording yourself."

At everyone’s request, Director Yao replayed the recording.

On the screen.

*Thump!*

The lights dimmed.

7!

6!

Cai Xukun stared at the screen, his heart skipping a beat for no reason.

Damn!

5!

The camera suddenly turned to the cold faces of the men in black.

F*ck!

So terrifying!

Cai Xukun felt a chill down his spine. He had been fully focused on the combination lock just now and hadn't looked at the men in black at all.

Now that he saw it, it was too scary!

4! 3! 2!

1!

At this moment, the combination lock had just opened.

The camera turned to the men in black again, and he could clearly see the playful smiles on their faces.

Like wolves, like tigers!

Holy crap!

This time, Cai Xukun was truly scared, cold sweat dripping down.

If he had noticed this before, his legs probably would have gone soft.

Let alone running backward!

Soon, the recording reached the most exciting chase segment.

Cai Xukun’s heart was in his throat; he didn't dare to breathe.

The distance was so close!

He was about to be caught!

Although he had already completed the challenge and knew the result was good.

Yet inexplicably, he began to worry if the version of himself in the recording could really escape the pursuit!

Finally, it was all over.

Cai Xukun collapsed on the sofa, just like Brother Sha and the others he had seen earlier—exhausted and mentally drained!

Now he finally understood.

Truly, watching the live stream was scarier than doing the challenge!

It was too damn intense.

"Brother Kun, you still have one chance; want to try again?"

Wang Jiaer joked.

"No, no, no."

Cai Xukun’s face turned pale.

Try what!

Looking for abuse!

"Hahaha, he got scared by his own recording!"

"Kunkun, didn't expect that, did you? That's exactly how we felt just now."

"Is this the legendary being scared by oneself?!"

"Doesn't this highlight Little Brother Qin’s awesomeness from the side? The photography is so damn vivid!"

"This is the real live broadcast! A live broadcast that's even more real than the participants themselves!"

"Little Brother Qin is awesome! Love it, love it!"

The funny meme of Cai Xukun being scared by himself finally brought the atmosphere in the live stream back up.

"Little Yao, tell Little Brother Qin not to be so intense next time."

"Or give us a heads-up beforehand so we can be mentally prepared."

"My heart really can't take it."

Sha Yi took a long while to recover.

"Teacher Sha Yi, there's no way; this is the real race situation."

Director Yao responded with a bitter smile.

How could he!

Qin Mu’s photography skills were the main source of their live stream’s popularity—the ups and downs, the reality and illusion, the pacing—it was extremely eye-catching!

"Little Yao, you have to be considerate of us old folks."

Li Chen also looked miserable.

"Go, go, go, Little Yao, don't listen to him; we need this exciting feeling, it fits the pursuit of us young people!"

Sha Yi looked disgusted.

"Brother Sha, you..."

Li Chen was speechless.

*Puff!*

"Hahaha!"

The whole room burst into laughter.

On the other side, Qin Mu returned to the photography team.

The guests’ heated discussion gave him a moment to rest.

Drinking some water, eating a small cake.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for reaching 100 points; would you like to start the lucky draw?"

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang in his mind.

Hmm?

He had asked the system before about the conversion of points and recognition; roughly 10,000 likes/recognition could earn one point.

So many people recognized him!

A popular show is indeed a good opportunity to earn points. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

After some reflection, Qin Mu said: "Draw!"

"Ding!"

"Lucky draw starting."

*Beep! Beep! Beep!*

It sounded like a spinning wheel.

Soon, "Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the god-level active skill: Special Scene Rendering!"

Hmm?

This is...

[Special Scene Rendering: You can actively influence the emotion, atmosphere, and characteristics of a scene to a certain extent, rendering a unique style!]

Holy crap!

This powerful?!

That is to say, if Qin Mu wanted to, he could actively film a unique characteristic for a shot.

Just like in a horror movie, if Qin Mu wanted some comedic elements, he could activate this god-level skill to actively render comedic factors to a certain extent.

Giving the audience a different viewing experience!

Too awesome!

PS: The flowers are almost at 2,000, rating tickets almost at 500, comments are still a few short, and I'm still missing two readers for tips.

Please support me, dear readers, and the author will explode with updates! ===== CHAPTER 26 =====

The challenge continued.

Due to the score gap, the two sides were a full 100 points apart, and Li Chen’s team only had Zheng Kai and Han Dongjun left.

In other words, if they didn't want to lose, they both had to challenge for fifty points.

"Fifty points it is!"

"Nothing to worry about!"

Zheng Kai tied on his headband and took the lead.

"Brother Kai, our team is counting on you!"

"Go! I believe in you!"

"The Little Cheetah is coming back!"

Under everyone’s encouragement, Zheng Kai didn't rush into the corridor but secretly came to the photography team.

He pulled Qin Mu aside.

"Little Brother Qin, I have a favor to ask."

Zheng Kai whispered.

"Go ahead."

Qin Mu looked confused.

"It's just..."

"I want something intense."

"What kind of intense?"

"Something even more thrilling, tense, spooky, and terrifying than Kunkun’s!"

Zheng Kai laughed sinisterly.

Let you guys target me in the previous episodes!

I’ll do something even more intense, even more than just now, and see how scared you get!

Of course, besides venting his anger, he also planned to highlight his own strength.

Cai Xukun did something so intense just now and succeeded! It made many viewers cheer and admire him!

If he did something even more intense and succeeded!

Wouldn't his image from previous episodes return?

Hehe!

Two birds with one stone, great!

"Brother Kai, are you sure?"

Qin Mu looked at him strangely.

"Of course!"

Zheng Kai was high-spirited, proud of his brilliant idea.

"Fine."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and nodded.

What a strange request.

But it was a perfect chance to test if his new skill worked well.

"Little Brother Qin, I'm counting on you."

Leaving those words, Zheng Kai stepped into the corridor.

This scene wasn't known to those in the lounge, but it was captured by the peripheral cameras.

"Zheng Kai is so bad! But I like it!"

"If you're going to do it, do the most intense one; Brother Kai, I'm rooting for you!"

"Why does Little Brother Qin’s tone sound like there's a bad premonition?"

"Me too, I feel like Zheng Kai is going to step into a trap later!"

"Suddenly looking forward to the scene later!"

Zheng Kai’s challenge was watched by everyone.

Because only if he successfully took the fifty points could the challenge continue.

If he didn't succeed, even if Han Dongjun took the fifty points, they would still lose the game.

"Hehe."

"Now everyone must be focused on hoping I succeed; this round must be intense."

"The Little Cheetah makes a strong return!"

Zheng Kai stood at the fifty-point mark without hesitation.

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, once he stood here, he still felt inexplicably nervous.

"Hoo!"

He took a deep breath and set the combination lock to four zeros first.

On the side, Qin Mu remembered Zheng Kai’s request.

Fine.

Since he asked for it, he would satisfy him.

Qin Mu first focused the camera on Zheng Kai’s face; his anxiety and nervousness were self-evident.

A moment later, he moved the camera gently.

The lights dimmed.

The corridor suddenly went pitch black, with only a little light shining on Zheng Kai, the men in black, and the floor.

'Special Scene Rendering activated!'

Suddenly, a chilly atmosphere appeared in the camera for no reason, as if this wasn't a running track, but a wild graveyard!

"Why does it suddenly feel chilly?"

Guo Dalin had been staring at the screen with full attention, but suddenly he shrank his neck, feeling a chill down his back.

"Yeah, I feel creeped out too!"

Wang Jiaer frowned and agreed.

"Me too!"

"Suddenly feels like watching a horror movie!"

Everyone had the same reaction. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
