Chapter 174: 172. The Surprise of Climbing Heavenly Road (Fourth Update)_1

In the dead of night, a living person stood outside, his face patchy white like a ghost’s, chewing on something.

Chewing on something? What’s there to eat outside? What food?

This is freaking terrifying, okay!?

Ren He was chewing on his second piece of chocolate when suddenly he felt a strong light from inside the glass wall shining over, startling him so much that he nearly lost his balance and fell off! However, the light was fleeting, hitting his face for only a moment before moving elsewhere.

He looked closely and saw a security guard uncle lying unconscious on the ground inside the glass wall, a bright flashlight having fallen beside him...

What’s the situation? Ren He continued to chew his chocolate as he pondered. What happened to this guy? Did he pass out?

It can’t be that serious, can it? It’s just a person standing outside the wall. Even if he really saw it, it shouldn’t scare him into fainting. Ren He didn’t realize what his face looked like, and paired with his chewing motion, this scene would typically be rated as unsuitable for viewers under the age of 17 in a movie.

Ren He knocked on the window, but the security guard uncle had no reaction. However, with his Super Vision, he could see that the other party was still breathing evenly; at least he hadn’t been scared to death.

Finish the chocolate and continue with the mission, Ren He thought as he climbed, considering the uncle’s heart to be ridiculously faint...

If the uncle knew of his thoughts, he would probably want to blow up the building. This wasn’t an issue of a faint heart. Did Ren He not realize how scary he was?

Ren He didn’t dwell on it and continued to climb upwards; the remaining 30 meters were nothing to him since he had replenished his strength.

As soon as he reached the rooftop, the Divine Punishment System said, "Host has completed the mission, reward: Advanced level acting skills."

Hey, Ren He became curious, not about why the Divine Punishment System would give him acting skills, but why it had skipped the basic level and went straight to Advanced level?

He asked the system this question, and the Divine Punishment System replied that he had some acting skills already.

This was new. What sort of acting skills could Ren He have? Could his ability to greet various people with a smile and feign emotions in his former life be considered some sort of basic acting skill?

So that’s how it was. It seemed that the Divine Punishment System tailored rewards to personal circumstances.

That is to say, if Ren He had already surpassed the current 6.71 in physical fitness when he encountered the Divine Punishment System, it might not give him any physical fitness rewards at all.

If his painting skills were already at an Advanced level after over ten years of study, then one reward could elevate him to Master Level.

But then, thinking about it the other way, what do you mean by giving me so many charm attributes? Are you saying I lack charm? Tell me clearly!

The damn Divine Punishment System could be disdainful? Ren He felt deeply scorned.

It was only upon reaching the rooftop that Ren He discovered the biggest problem with the UP Building: there was no way down from the roof...

Unlike other buildings, the entire rooftop was sealed with a light steel frame connected to glass. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Ren He punched the glass, his hand hurting without making even a crack on it.

This is screwing me over, how am I supposed to get down? Climb back down the same way? If I’d known it would come to this, I would’ve brought a rope up with me, okay?

With no other option, Ren He had to slowly make his way back down along the steel frame. Descending wasn’t the same as ascending; going up required a lot of effort to stabilize his body, but on the way down, Ren He found a special method. He would look for a protruding steel plate on the frame, clamp it tightly with his arms and legs as if on a steel pipe, and then slowly slide down.

This time, as he descended, to avoid being seen by the security guard uncle waking up, he deliberately chose a different direction. Ren He thought this should avoid any trouble, right?

But just as he was sliding down the frame, at the 180-meter mark, he looked through the glass and saw the uncle had woken up and was running to the spot where Ren He had been, frantically pressing the elevator...

Oh, so the elevator is on this side... what a coincidence...

Uncle felt like a shadow descended from the sky outside the window, and as he trembled and turned his head, he just caught sight of Ren He sliding down with a smile directed at him...

What the hell...

Ren He saw Uncle turning his head and wanted to make his expression more natural to avoid frightening him again, but he didn’t expect Uncle to simply faint on the spot...

Wow, he’s got such a fragile heart!

As soon as he landed safely, he dashed straight for his car to make a getaway, but as soon as he sat down and saw himself in the rearview mirror, he realized he might have been wrong to blame the other guy...

I’d be scared myself if I saw this at night!

Forget it, just run.

...

The next morning, Ren He turned on his computer to see if there was any discussion about Yang Xi, but apart from the previous topics, there was nothing.

However, he did see a new post: Ghost haunting at UP Building! The poster was an intern at CCTV who didn’t reveal their real name, simply saying that the security guard Uncle had encountered a ghost while patrolling last night, leaving everyone at CCTV anxious because Uncle’s description was too realistic.

Uncle said: "The ghost was clinging to the glass, eating flesh and blood, with a horrifyingly pale face; I was sure I had run to the other side of the building to take the elevator down, but the specter seemed to mock me, appearing outside the window on the other side..."

Ren He’s expression was odd, to say the least; could all the ghost stories heard in his past life have been these kinds of scare tactics?!

At that moment, he received an unexpected call: Liu Erbao.

"Hello, Erbao?"

"Bro, you’re awesome, I heard you’re going to climb Heavenly Road!" Liu Erbao said excitedly. Their last filming experience drifting was thrilling, after all, when Ren He shot videos, he played with real skill in one go, unlike others who relied on editing.

The audience might not realize it, but the filming crew felt a different level of engagement watching the whole process, and the technical difference was significant!

Last time, when Liu Erbao learned about Ren He’s speed descent from Mount Laojun, he complained a bit that Ren He hadn’t given him a heads-up; Liu Erbao’s team would occasionally shoot their own stuff for promotional videos, and what Ren He did was exactly what he needed.

After the video with the name ’Knight’ went viral, Liu Erbao’s own publicity had broadened even more. Although they were the biggest names in the industry, not everyone might know them, like in the areas west of Shaanxi, where their influence was minimal.

So instead of filming something else, why not film Ren He?

Ren He curiously asked, "How did you know I’m going to Heavenly Gate Mountain?"

"The film crew found by TK Company is us again, haha, we’re now strategic partners with TK Company. All their sports videos are covered by us," Liu Erbao boasted proudly, and these sports videos were not just domestic but also international!

This meant Liu Erbao’s team had already reached a world-class standard.

Ren He was, of course, happy to continue the collaboration, especially since Liu Erbao’s professionalism and open-mindedness had impressed him last time, showing him that there were always higher mountains and people beyond your level in every field.

Liu Erbao went on: "Bro, can we shoot at night this time? If it’s too dangerous, forget it, but if you’re as bold and skilled as they say, bro’s got a surprise for you!"

At night? No problem at all!
