Chapter 626: 617, New Task_1

Some say, "If you just laughed watching ’A Chinese Odyssey’, it means you didn’t understand it; if you cried, it means you got it; and if you don’t know whether to laugh or cry after watching it, it means you truly understood."

That feeling is just like the perpetual regrets in this world, only after encountering too much can one begin to empathize.

In memories, you are slowly aging, while that person who will never cross paths with you again remains young in your everlasting recollections, where everything is still beautiful.

The sea of suffering churns with love and hate, it’s hard for anyone in the world to escape their fate, thus everyone sighs.

"My ideal man turned out to be a great hero. One day he’ll come to marry me on a seven-colored cloud. I guessed the beginning right, but couldn’t foresee this ending."

Sorry, I won’t wear this Gold Hoop. If I wear it, I can’t save you, for if I wear it, I can’t love you.

Ren He suddenly felt that having a super memory was also a kind of torment. It made him reexamine the details he had once overlooked in ’A Chinese Odyssey’, details that had been devised to emphasize such a great tragedy, truly a matter of life and death!

But since it was a movie that made people cry after watching it, Ren He wanted to bring it to this world, and this time, he would be meticulous in selecting the actors, even choosing them himself, to preserve the original flavor of the work.

In his previous life, ’A Chinese Odyssey’ started off with poor reception due to its terrible special effects, and suspicion of hasty production due to rushing for the holiday season. Ren He didn’t dare claim to overturn the creations of Zhou Xingchi, but in this life, he wanted to make up for its shortcomings using relatively mature filming and special effects technologies.

The beauty of Fairy Purple Haze must be remembered by all.

The wretchedness of King Treasure must be remembered by all.

The grandeur of Monkey King must also be remembered by everyone; the stronger he became as Monkey King, the deeper the regrets before seemed, like an abyssal crevice.

In his past life, the ’A Chinese Odyssey’ series was an invincible entity. Even the worst films could be saved by adding the four words ’A Chinese Odyssey’, but the box office for the first movie was somewhat too pitiful to watch.

’A Chinese Odyssey’ had been enshrined as a cult classic since 2008 in his previous life, and by then, the tastes of the audience had changed. But Ren He wasn’t sure about the influence ’A Chinese Odyssey’ would have if it were released in 2008 in this life.

However, did Ren He need the box office revenue? What was his purpose in establishing Qinghe Film and Television? Why did Zhang Ming join Qinghe Film and Television?

No amount of doubt cast on ’A Chinese Odyssey’ would affect them, just like with the Qinghe Fund, they simply wanted to do what they enjoyed.

Ren He spent a week writing the script for ’A Chinese Odyssey’, then used his Master Level drawing skills to skillfully recreate the original artwork from his memories of his past life.

The moment the script of ’A Chinese Odyssey’ was completed, the Divine Punishment System arrived as promised, "Mission: Protect 20 wild yaks within half a year, failure to do so will result in the host vomiting for a lifetime whenever they eat meat."

What the hell? Ren He was baffled when he heard this mission. Where did wild yaks come into this?! Was this mission some kind of joke? How should he protect wild yaks when they’re out in the wild, doing fine without his help?

Speaking of which, Ren He didn’t even know where to find wild yaks!

He opened Qinghe Search, typed in wild yaks, and the first news result was that there were fewer than 5,000 wild yaks left in the country. Following that was news about poaching gangs hunting yaks in Karamay.

Ren He was beginning to understand. Was this suggesting that he should confront the poaching gang?

Karamay... Ren He felt a bit pained. He had just mentioned he wouldn’t follow the film crew to Karamay, but now he was going there himself.

However, it seemed it wouldn’t cause a delay. His task had nothing to do with the film crew; going alone wouldn’t be an issue. But if he really was going to clash with the poachers, he’d probably need some weapons.

No matter whether those guys were carrying old-fashioned single-shot shotguns or unassuming homemade guns, Ren He would likely get beaten up if he went empty-handed.

Back in America, Steve suddenly shivered, sensing that something not so great was about to happen to him...

When Ren He handed the script to Zhang Ming, he didn’t mention that he would be going to Karamay. It’s best to not involve the film crew in dangerous situations; otherwise, if the poachers discovered his connection to the crew, what if they took revenge on them? While he could escape anytime, the film crew couldn’t.

The fact was that "No Man’s Land" was about the story of poachers in that chaotic wilderness. Ren He remembered vividly just how ruthless the poachers in the movie were.

He had no idea what real-life poachers were like, but it was best to avoid involving the film crew.

By this time, Yang Xi had finished her exams, and it was time to return to Luo City. There were 15 days left until Chinese New Year. Since crossing over to this life, it was probably the first time she was returning so early during the winter break.

Yang Xi was also a bit nervous. Earlier, Ren He had been in trouble, so in utter despair, she stayed at Ren He’s house, even going so far as to let Mrs. Ren think of her as a daughter, claiming she would live on for Ren He...

Now that everything was okay, she felt a little embarrassed and wasn’t sure how to face the ’mother-in-law’ role. Actually, upon reflection, Yang Xi realized that Mrs. Ren seemed to be strict only with Ren He, while she was exceptionally nice to her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has always been a dilemma in China, and then there are those idle minds that come up with the ultimate life conundrum: "If your mother and wife fall into a river, who do you save first?"

Whoever came up with this question really must be an idiot. Seriously, are you sick?!

This time, Ren He and Yang Xi were going to drive home together. Before leaving, Yang Xi went out to have a meal with Su Ruqin. The relationship between mother and daughter was gradually improving. Ren He thought this was normal. After all, how could anyone stay angry with their own mother their whole life?

Su Ruqin patiently instructed Yang Xi on what she needed to bring for her first Chinese New Year with Ren He’s family, emphasizing that she couldn’t go empty-handed. She was also slowly getting used to her daughter’s relationship with Ren He. In the eyes of both sets of parents, it was as if the two were already engaged.

Sooner or later, the son-in-law would get along well with his mother-in-law. In fact, upon reflection, Su Ruqin realized that from the beginning of her opposition to the present, Ren He had always been very mature and never embarrassed her directly, never saying a harsh word to her.

Now that she thought about it, he truly seemed more mature than others his age.

Originally, Ren He suggested, why not fly directly to the North Suburb Airport in Luo City? After all, long drives could be quite exhausting, which any experienced driver understands.

But Yang Xi disagreed. Taking a flight meant that the two of them would be apart for a while and they would have to go through the hassle of keeping a low profile. It was just too tiring.

Ren He thought about it and realized that she was indeed right.
