Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the same time, at the nameless restaurant…
Cui Geng arrived at the nameless restaurant and found that Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang, and the other movie kings who had played supporting roles in ‘Successor’ had arrived. Huang Sibo and Fei Huang Workspace’s production team had also arrived, and a few authors, including Yu Fei, had also arrived.
“Eh, Teacher Cui is finally here. Come, sit at the C.”
“Teacher Cui, are you arrogant? You’re not even eating at the nameless restaurant. Quick, I’ll punish you to eat a huge lobster!”
Everyone greeted Cui Geng warmly, leaving him an empty seat in the crowd on purpose.
Cui Geng felt a little helpless. He had probably been writing for years without anyone asking and became famous overnight!
Previously, everyone around him had addressed him as Old Cui or someone he was not familiar with had addressed him as Big Boss. However, he had never been referred to as’ Teacher Cui ‘.
Obviously, ‘Successor’ had been raised to the altar, along with him, the original author.
Everyone looked at Cui Geng now. They did not think of him as an innocent author. Instead, they thought of him as a great prophet and social scholar. After all, he was the person who predicted the outcome of the Yuklaia election a year ago.
Only Cui Geng knew that this was all a dream. It was all based on luck.
However, he could not explain this. There was no need to. He could only accept it silently.
Cui Geng sat down in his seat and said, “It’s not that I’m not eating enthusiastically. I was just collecting materials and forgot about the time.”
Huang Sibo asked, “Were you beaten again after playing GOG?”
Cui Geng cleared his throat awkwardly. “Hehe, it’s actually nothing much. It’s just that his teammate had a huge advantage. The game could have ended in twenty minutes, but it dragged on for fifty minutes. He lost.”
Huang Sibo could not help but look serious and indignant. “There’s such a thing? I’ll send a message to Zhang Nan now and ask her to punish her severely!”
Cui Geng quickly said, “There’s no need. I’ve already reported it. GOG will be automatically punished as long as the system detects that it hung. What’s more, the punishment is not small. The game has already compensated me with substitute coins. There’s no need to trouble the person-in-charge for such a small matter.”
Huang Sibo nodded. “Yes, that’s good. Such evil influences cannot be allowed to grow. Tengda will definitely not spoil such players.”
Cui Geng looked at everyone. “Eh, where’s Director Zhu?”
Then, he realized something. “Oh! The Suffering Travels is not over yet?”
Huang Sibo looked sorrowful, but he could not help but smile. “That’s right. It’ll only end at the end of this month.”
“I wonder if Director Zhu is doing well on the island.”
“However, it’s better than our time. We went to Shennongjia! Why should they be able to play with sand and sun on the island? That’s not fair!”
Cui Geng cleared his throat. “Not necessarily. At the very least, we don’t have to suffer from the sun in the forest in Shennongjia. I watched Teacher Qiao’s live-stream a few days ago. Everyone seemed to have become tanner. Everyone was exhausted after training, but they still forced themselves to put sunblock on themselves.”
“What’s more, the rock wall on this island is higher than the rock wall on Shennongjia at that time. I can only say that it was torturous. Both of you have your merits in suffering.”
Huang Sibo: “Oh? Really? I feel better now.”
Lu Zhiyao was also a little regretful. “Aiya, Director Zhu can’t come. We can only force him to eat his portion!”
“Speaking of which, the Suffering Travels that you mentioned… has been quite popular recently.”
“A few days ago, I wanted to find a slot to sign up. In the end, I went to the official website to take a look. Good lord, it’s not open at all. I checked online and said that the reservations are completely full. I couldn’t snatch them if I was slower.”
“I don’t know when the next appointment will be released. What’s more, even if it is reported, I don’t know how long it will last.”
Cui Geng was stunned. “Huh? You want to go?”
“What’s so good about going? Going would be pure suffering! If you don’t believe me, ask Huang Sibo. He has been there.”
Lu Zhiyao looked at Huang Sibo. “Really? How was Suffering Travels? Was it really that torturous?”
After a moment of silence, Huang Sibo said in all seriousness, “Yes… it was indeed a little torturous, but I gained a lot…”
Cui Geng could not help but be stunned.
Good lord, I’m amazed!
These people who had been on a torturous trip had all become so deranged!
What’s more, the most bizarre thing was that everyone who had been on a Suffering Travels would become a magical superimposed state. It could also be called ‘Schrödinger’s Suffering’.
When he went or chatted with irrelevant people about Suffering Travels, these people would definitely complain. They would say that it was completely spending money to torture themselves. It was too torturous.
However, if they were to talk to people who were interested or curious about the Suffering Travels, they would say in all seriousness that the Suffering Travels had a very rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual meaning. It was very worth going.
Bad, too bad!
Do you think others can’t see through your tricks? Don’t you just want to deceive others into suffering with you?
Anyone with normal intelligence would not fall for such a clumsy trick, right?

However, the more he looked at Lu Zhiyao, the more interested he became.
“Oh? Rock climbing? wilderness survival? There’s even diving for this episode of the island?”
“Teacher Qiao, Ruan Guangjian, Yao Bo, and the people in charge of Tengda are all there?”
“This is actually a Tengda elite training camp. It’s no wonder that ordinary people don’t have the means to go there!”
“Can you tell Boss Pei to give us an exclusive episode?”
Huang Sibo suppressed his smile and said in all seriousness, “I can give a report to Boss Pei. I believe that Boss Pei is a loyal person who will definitely overcome his difficulties and arrange an episode for everyone.”
Lu Zhiyao was elated. “That’s great! Teacher Cui, come with us?”
Cui Geng shook his head like a rattle drum. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Goodbye!”
Good lord, these people must be crazy. It was so comfortable playing games in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Who would want to suffer in the wilderness and on an isolated island overseas?!
Don’t drag me down with you if you want to die!
Cui Geng was afraid that they would not stop talking about this topic. When he saw that the food was served, he quickly said, “Alright, alright. Let’s eat, everyone!”
Everyone arrived early. They were a little hungry after chatting for a while and started eating immediately.
The precious ingredients on the table were all unlimited. They could eat whatever they wanted, and every single one of them was delicious!
Cui Geng was even finding it difficult to choose. He felt that it was very delicious after eating one of the delicacies and wanted to eat another one. However, the other delicacies were also very delicious. If he ate another one, it would probably fill his stomach and he would not be able to eat anything else.
After having some food and filling his stomach, Zhang Zuting raised his glass first. “It’s a pity that Boss Pei is busy today and did not come. However, I believe that Boss Pei’s heart is with us.”
“I suggest that we raise our glasses to Boss Pei!”
Everyone responded and raised their glasses.
Gathering at the nameless restaurant had always been completely free. They could drink alcohol if they wanted to. They could drink water or beverages if they wanted to. Everyone’s main goal was to eat. Whether it was alcohol or beverages, they were all used for meals.
No one could force others to drink alcohol.
This was the rule set by Boss Pei for the first gathering. Thus, it had become an unspoken rule that everyone consciously followed.
He was proud of eating more, not of drinking more.
Everyone started talking as they ate and drank.
Lu Zhiyao was also filled with emotions. “Actually, I wanted to support Boss Pei with the ‘Successor’ series. After all, the movies’ Tomorrow is Beautiful ‘and’ Mission and Choice ‘had helped me a lot previously. I should have given’ Successor ‘a free calefares out of gratitude.”
“I didn’t expect the benefits of being a calefare to be so huge!”
“He said that he wanted to show his support for Boss Pei, but he ended up being led by Boss Pei and Brother Huang. I’m really ashamed.”
There was no need to talk about the money Lu Zhiyao earned after the success of Mission and Choice previously. The key was that it became more popular, more well-known, and wider the acting path.
There were too many production teams who came to him to invite him to film. He was having a headache choosing the script.
However, Lu Zhiyao had a very firm principle: Everything was based on Boss Pei’s film schedule. He would not accept anyone whose schedule conflicted with his!
The last time he came to Jingzhou to freeload, Lu Zhiyao asked Boss Pei about the new drama. In the end, Boss Pei said that the new drama would be filmed in the United States. What’s more, there would be no suitable role for Lu Zhiyao. He had to act in it, so he could only act as a calefares.
Lu Zhiyao immediately thought that Boss Pei must be treating him like an outsider.
Did Boss Pei think that he did not want to take on bit-role roles because he was so popular now?
No way!
The other teams would definitely not accept the supporting roles, but they had to accept Boss Pei’s supporting roles no matter what!
Humans could not be ingratiated. Even if they did not get remuneration, they had to act in order to repay the favor of the previous two movies.
Not only would he be acting, but he would also be acting with Zhang Zuting, Lin Jiaqiang, and the others!
Thus, this group of people went to play supporting roles for ‘Successor’.
Director Zhu Xiaoce was also very talented. He forcefully arranged enough suitable scenes for these people in ‘Successor’.
Lu Zhiyao played a Chinese superhero, Zhang Zuting played a judge in a talent show, Lin Jiaqiang played a commoner, Phil’s hardcore supporter.
The others, including Zhang Zuting’s old friends and some of Fei Huang Workspace’s staff, also became extras. What’s more, they did not look out of place at all. Nobody could tell!
That was because Hope City in the movie was a fictional city to begin with. It was an environment where various ethnics were mixed. There was room for improvement.
In fact, during the filming process, Lu Zhiyao, Zhang Zuting, and the others had already had a premonition that the film would not become popular. Even if it did, it would not be of much help to them.
After all, they did not have many scenes in the entire episode. The real main actor was the foreigner acting as Phil.
However, they did not expect that not only would this drama become inexplicably popular, but it would also be very helpful for their acting career!
Lu Zhiyao, in particular, benefited the most.
There were even many film reviews and media praising Lu Zhiyao. He had more scenes than the main character in ‘Successor’!
