Chapter 632: 623, Australia sightseeing group, Knight Sanctuary_1

Three days before New Year’s Eve, An Si brought Liu Erbao with all the necessary equipment for longboarding downhill to Ren He. By now, Ren He’s physical data had stabilized, and even his height was fixed at 183cm and not growing any longer, which for Ren He was just perfect.

So it was very convenient for An Si to customize the equipment. He just needed to make it according to the measurements, and when it arrived in Ren He’s hands, whether it was the size of the gloves or the width and length of the longboard, everything was very satisfying for Ren He.

Sometimes Ren He felt that even the task releases from the Divine Punishment System were kind of a hidden reward because along with the task, it would also give him all the relevant skills. If Ren He had to practice slowly, probably even with his current physical prowess exceeding that of ordinary people, he would still need a long time to train—at least he wouldn’t have achieved his current accomplishments as a Knight.

This time, An Si had also brought a brand new Red Scarf.

The previous Red Scarves were just ordinary styles, but because it was too small when worn by an adult, it would easily come loose, hence the production of this new version that was more breathable, with longer trailing ribbons tied behind the head.

After all, this was a product born from TK’s attempt to market the Red Scarf accessories a second time. The last version of the Red Scarf had almost sold out, and just this Red Scarf accessory made TK earn tens of millions of US Dollars in net profit. Now, with the launch of the even cooler and flashier Red Scarf 2.0, Ren He didn’t need to think to know that TK’s executives had tasted success with this venture.

Previously, TK even discussed with Ren He about releasing a new product...

Ren He was curious and asked what product they were planning to release that made them so hesitant when their collaborations had been pleasant in the past. Now, TK’s annual endorsement fee and revenue share from merchandise were going straight to the card in Yang Xi’s possession, and that card was already close to 300 million US Dollars, which when converted to RMB, was quite staggering. At least, as Yang Xi would say, it was already more than enough to last a lifetime...

Liu Erbao, for some reason, thought it would be nice to visit Ren He’s parents during the festive season, as after all, they were the parents of a brother, and it would be awkward not to see them during the New Year’s visit. Moreover, since Liu Erbao’s parents had passed away early, and because his own house had no festive spirit at all, he came running to Luo City with the equipment to celebrate the New Year.

An Si, on the other hand, had parents who had emigrated abroad long ago, and this year, the elderly couple planned a trip to Greece for the New Year, without including their son An Si in the plans at all... An Si was also tempted to just go to Ren He’s house for the New Year.

But Ren He directly refused. How could Mrs. Ren not know what Liu Erbao and An Si were up to? Visiting for New Year’s greetings at this time would just cause chaos, wouldn’t it?

Ren He thought about it and said that his family’s New Year’s celebrations were just so, with relatives gathering for a meal and after eating, everyone would be busy with their own things. Even Mrs. Ren had already booked a ticket to Hainan for the first day of the New Year, as commercial real estate development there was in full swing, and she wanted to check on the situation.

When the time came, Ren He would spend New Year’s Eve with Liu Erbao and the others, accompanied by Yang Xi. These two had come from far away, and as brothers, it would be wrong not to keep them company.

"Let’s set the time for tomorrow night, the 28th of the lunar calendar. We’ll head over in the morning to set up the cameras, and start in the afternoon," Ren He said after some thought. "That place is where I used to do downhill cycling, so I’m familiar with it."

"Okay," Liu Erbao nodded. "We’re short on staff this time, so we can only do it during the day. Otherwise, the lighting at night would actually look more dazzling."

This time, Liu Erbao’s team only included himself and two other brothers who didn’t need to go home for the New Year, and in terms of equipment, they brought only a few cameras and a speedometer. Planning for anything big was probably out of the question, so daytime was the most appropriate time for filming.

As the New Year approached, the festive atmosphere in the small place of Luo City grew stronger, with elderly selling Spring Festival couplets on the roadside, and pedestrians carrying red-boxed New Year’s goods.

The 12-member team at Liu Erbao’s had 9 members whose parents were still alive, so it made sense for them to return home for the Lunar New Year. Originally, everyone had said they’d come over to help, but Ren He stopped them.

He himself had always been away from his parents, so he cherished the time he could spend with them during the New Year. He understood everyone’s desire to help, but going home to spend time with one’s parents was far better than just sending money to their bank account on time.

Ren He suddenly realized that that afternoon, Liu Erbao’s phone was particularly busy. "Er G, you weren’t like this before."

Liu Erbao was a bit embarrassed. "Isn’t it because I played a villain recently? Quite a few companies have been asking me to act in movies, and now I think acting is even more exciting than singing! But don’t worry, I’m clear about the filming schedule for No Man’s Land. Director Zhang mentioned there’s another film after that, and once we’re done with No Man’s Land, it’ll be the next project. I haven’t agreed to any of the offers I got, and I won’t mess up Qinghe’s plans. After all, I’m a shareholder of Qinghe!"

Well, Ren He couldn’t help but laugh. Liu Erbao really had become a star. But speaking of his acting, in No Man’s Land, he played the role that Huang Bo did in his past life. What about in A Chinese Odyssey... The Bull Demon King?! Cough, we’ll see... Liu Erbao probably hasn’t even read the script yet.

The very next morning after Ren He and his group’s itinerary was set, a seven-car convoy drove off the Lianhuo Expressway exit towards Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Luo City. All seven vehicles were luxury cars, with one distinctive feature: they were all sports cars.

After getting off the expressway, the people in the cars all got out. The driver of the lead car turned out to be Huangfu Zhuri, and the passenger was Duan Xiaolou, who hadn’t returned to the country for two years.

In Luo City, sports cars were not rare, and weddings with a fleet of sports cars were seen on special occasions, but it was quite unusual to see such a uniform lineup of seven luxury sports cars like this one.

There were 13 people in the convoy, and a tall and beautiful girl got out of the car in the back: "Fatty, how much longer till we get there? Back in Australia, you bragged all day about witnessing Knight speed biking firsthand. If all of us who followed you to Luo City from all over can’t witness the sacred ground of Knight’s biking, you’re not off the hook!"

Huangfu Zhuri cursed with a laugh, "You’re not tired after all this way on the freeway, but you want to go tonight? Your skills were just average in Australia; the holy ground of Knight being graced by you should be considered a desecration!"

"Stop yakking. Everyone here has a better speed biking record than you!" The beautiful girl retorted disdainfully. As she spoke, she pulled out a red scarf from the red sports car and tied up her long hair, instantly exuding a dashing and spirited aura.

All these people were from Huangfu Zhuri’s student circle in Australia. While at university, everyone envied Huangfu for living in the same city as Knight. The Fatty himself claimed to have seen Knight going downhill biking; the story of Knight overtaking on the inside on Mount Laojun at a speed of 110 had been hyped by the Fatty to no end, making it seem like he knew Knight personally.

In reality, Knight now had a huge following in the extreme sports community. The key thing was that Knight really did it all: parkour fans for parkour, biking fans for biking. In the past, these groups didn’t mix, but now everyone was nearly brought together by Knight!

Sitting in the passenger seat of Huangfu Zhuri’s car, Duan Xiaolou watched her cousin bragging, and a sense of realization flashed across her face. She had been away for two years, during which she not only focused on her studies but also became a standout among international students – student council president, an investor in new commercial real estate in Australia, and a representative of international students. Duan Xiaolou was still following her planned path, and she was quite brilliant.

Duan Xiaolou no longer paid attention to domestic news, as if she had entered a bigger world. The old, broken one didn’t need to be remembered anymore.

She would occasionally hear that name, the other person was still risking his life, but it seemed like a distant memory, like a stranger. The conversations that had occurred between them had long vanished like smoke.
