Chapter 576: 570, Jump from the Sky! (Third Update)_1

To Ren He’s surprise, Yang Xi did not ask him anything about what happened in Amsterdam that night. It was as if she had never noticed anything at all.

If Ren He did not mention it, she also did not ask.

On the way home, Ren He cheekily asked Yang Xi if she had missed him, to which Yang Xi replied no. However, upon returning home, Mrs. Wang was serving the dishes on the table and her first reaction upon seeing Ren He was a joyful laugh, "The master is finally back, Yang Xi has been talking about you every day at home!"

Yang Xi immediately felt uneasy, "Mrs. Wang, you must be mistaken!"

"Right, right, right, I’m mistaken!" Mrs. Wang chuckled and walked away.

For once, Yang Xi felt somewhat embarrassed in front of Ren He. Seeing his cheeky expression, she felt slightly annoyed, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and eat, after dinner you’re playing Dota with me!"

A gamer girl’s routine, of course, includes playing games with her gamer boy! Seems perfectly normal!

In the evening, Ren He and Yang Xi logged on at the same time and as soon as they entered the game, Dota was abuzz. The Knight had reappeared after nearly half a month!

In the past few days, due to Yang Xi’s Weibo updates and her pausing the game to answer phone calls, she had attracted a lot of attention within Dota. Now that both of them appeared at the same time, it was like igniting a stick of dynamite. The number of spectators broke through one hundred thousand in just three minutes.

In an era without live streaming platforms, this was miraculous. Ren He pondered whether the Qinghe Group should start a live streaming platform.

He knew that live streaming might not be as profitable as other projects, but it was an inevitable product of the era. Creating one could enrich the content of Qinghe’s faction.

An empire, of course, should have it all.

Would Yang Xi become the leading female broadcaster on his platform in the future...? And an international superstar game broadcaster at that, he thought, felt quite awkward...

In his past life, the famous broadcaster miss’s signing fee alone was one hundred million for three years, not to mention her Taobao store and advertising fees, which were more than what some top stars made.

Just by playing games legitimately, without resorting to anything else—honestly becoming a breath of fresh air in the world of live streaming...

The live streaming industry of his past life was really murky, but the real money-makers were those players who did not resort to various unsavory gimmicks to attract attention.

Ren He was somewhat resistant to the idea of Yang Xi becoming a broadcaster. It might be a bit of ’straight male cancer’, but he just didn’t like the idea, for reasons unknown to him.

The backstabbing in this circle was not any less fierce than in the entertainment industry, and it was common for some broadcasters to slam each other with dirty tricks. Ren He genuinely did not want Yang Xi to get involved in such petty disputes.

This was also about protecting other broadcasters on the platform. If someone sling mud, he could directly ask Li Muxi to fight with a water army, causing the offending broadcaster to probably be unable to continue.

Yes, this was about protecting the broadcasters on the platform!

Ren He, being a person who held grudges, would terrify even himself when it came to protecting his own.

However, Ren He’s concerns were unnecessary. As soon as he mentioned his plan to start such a platform to Yang Xi, she responded with lack of interest, "I won’t go into live streaming. The platform you’re talking about, probably when the time comes, people won’t be watching for the skills. My goal is to become a professional player. Don’t you think I’m a professional player whose talents were wasted on singing?"

Pff, Ren He laughed. The girl actually had such a dream. But if you’re not willing to do live streaming, then that’s really great!

Focusing on playing Dota with Yang Xi, Ren He often brought out some fresh strategies in past matches.

In the game of Dota, some classic strategies were incredibly overpowering, completely disrupting the balance of the game.

This kind of strategy is commonly referred to as a "dirty strat".

The current version of Dota was still within the update process of the previous world’s Dota 1, roughly around version 6.78. After all, if Ren He allowed them to fully update in one go, what would they do if it crashed in the future?

At that time, the strongest strategy was probably... the dirty strat of Chaos Sprites and these two heroes.

Ever since Chaos Sprite got updated, it hasn’t been very popular because it lacks high damage and is too much of a support hero.

But after the Chaos Sprite strategy came out, it was simply invincible!

Ren He explained the playstyle to Yang Xi briefly, and the two of them entered the game. Yang Xi played the easy-to-operate Chaos Knight, while Ren He played Chaos Sprite. Just at level 2, the duo, in an utterly unreasonable manner, slaughtered through the enemy... the opponents had no ability to resist!

The opponents were baffled, these two heroes together seemed like they were cheating; encounters meant certain death with no other way out!

It was just that these people had never seen such a dirty strat, otherwise there might have been some counterplay. But now, they were completely bewildered and had no idea how to continue playing.

The audience watching the game was also stunned for a moment, why were Knight and Yang Xi always able to come up with so many fresh ideas?!

Their understanding of the game was way too strong!

Yang Xi sat there with shining eyes, "How many more strategies are there? Teach me quick!"

Well, this internet-addicted girl’s affliction had flared up again.

That evening after finishing Dota, Ren He stretched and said, "I need to make a trip next week."

"Where are you going?" Yang Xi was surprised and thought to herself, could Ren He be going abroad again?

Ren He explained, "Crazy Stone is starting its shoot. The location is in Mountain City Chongqing, and all the scenes will be shot there. I’ll be going with the crew since I am the producer, and I also want to see what film-making is like."

No matter the past life or the present, Ren He had always been curious about the workings inside a film crew, as if encountering something novel.

"I want to come too!" Yang Xi said, "You do your thing, and once you’re done, accompany me for hot pot, and then take me to see XiaoZhai Tiankeng in Chongqing. It’s the world’s largest sinkhole and also the lowest point in China at an elevation of negative 579 meters. I’ve wanted to go there for a long time."

Ren He was completely astonished; the words "negative elevation" were like a stamp that couldn’t be erased from his brain.

But that wasn’t right. When he had received the task from the Divine Punishment System, he had considered whether to conduct it in some negative elevation areas, but he clearly remembered that in his past life, the lowest point in China was Ayding Lake in Xinjiang, at an elevation of negative 154 meters.

How had it become XiaoZhai Tiankeng now? In his past life, XiaoZhai Tiankeng was also the world’s largest sinkhole, but its elevation was not lower than Ayding Lake!

Parallel world... Indeed there were geographical differences compared to the previous world. No wonder the Divine Punishment System had issued this task!

He quickly opened Qinghe search to verify the situation and indeed, the head of the Chongqing Surveying and Mapping Bureau announced: XiaoZhai Tiankeng was the lowest inland elevation point in China, at negative 579 meters!

Chongqing, he had to go now! Falling from the heavens into the Tiankeng, this was a new journey!
