Chapter 524: Chapter 3: Female Stars, Noblewomen, Female Hosts

The fifteen days of life passed in an instant, quietly without a ripple. The relationship between Tang Zheng and An Xiuru remained at the friend stage. During this time, Lu Fan and Pang Meiqin made phone calls and proposed to go on a trip together, but he declined.

Xu Biyun also reported her recent life condition to Tang Zheng, proving that she was training hard for survival. However, due to various restrictions in reality, the training effect was minimal.

"You might as well take the fifteen days to relax your mind and enjoy life." This was Qin Yan’s suggestion after meeting her.

The noblewoman, Miranda, survived again and had a video chat with Tang Zheng, saying that Jack and his daughters were safe and have successfully become conquerors.

"Our team is developing methodically and we have added several newbies with good qualifications." Milan lazily lay on the bed and gave Tang Zheng a flirtatious glance.

"Work hard. The teleportation is starting." Tang realized that his feet started to disappear, so he ended the call. A few seconds later, he appeared in the Trojan Room.

Chu Baichuan and his wife had already arrived and were sitting in the corner reading a parenting guide. They were talking in whispers and probably discussing something fun. Ai Yixin was giggling and struck her husband with a punch.

"Go to hell, you lover-flaunting couple." The one who said this was a man in his mid-twenties, wearing black rubber boots and a canvas apron. He glanced at Ai Yixin and muttered in dissatisfaction. Then he looked at Tang Zheng, gave him a once-over, and approached him.

"Dude, can you tell me where we are?" The man with the rubber boots took out a cigarette and handed one to Tang Zheng, trying to make a connection with a smile on his face.

"Thanks, but I don’t smoke," Tang Zheng refused the cigarette. "This is the Trojan Room. You’re already dead."

"Ha, you’re funny. Not really, I seem to have been bitten by a lion during feeding today." The zookeeper seems to have thought of something, his face turned pale.

More newbies started to teleport, first a middle-aged man in a suit, probably in his forties, followed by a young woman in her twenties wearing a thin red silk underwear, hugging the man’s arm with a face full of grief, along with scratches and bloodstains.

The zookeeper, who was initially worried, drooled at the sight of the sexy mistress, wishing to take out his mobile phone to take some pictures. This kind of woman is something he could never afford even if he saved up for a lifetime.

Tang Zheng glanced at them then stopped paying attention. When Ai Yixin saw him coming in, she leaned against the wall and stood up, preparing to greet him. As compared to her brash and careless husband, she was more sociable.

"What are you looking at? Mind your own eyes!" The middle-aged man glared at the zookeeper, then looked around and cursed, "What the hell is this place?"

"Hong Lang, look, my face has been scratched." The lingerie woman did not care about the people around her, she relied on Jia Honglang’s arm and complained pitifully. The middle-aged man snorted and stroked her hair, soothing her softly.

"A pair of dog men and women." Zookeeper Zhao Guangji cursed, then sat down again, losing interest in approaching Tang Zheng.

"You slut, you’re still seducing men. I won’t let you live." A middle-aged woman, wearing flashy jewellery, appeared in the room. Upon seeing Jia Honglang and his mistress, she pounced on them and started fighting. The mistress did not dare to fight back and screamed while escaping.

"Stop creating a fuss, Manli. Let’s figure out where we are first." Jia Honglang complained about his wife and tried to change the subject.

"Hmph, I’ll deal with you when we get home." The flashy woman fixed her evening gown and then rubbed her belly, "You dare to stab me with a fruit knife? You want to die?"

"You also stabbed me." The lingerie woman retorted meekly. She knew that Jia Honglang relied on his wife to gain his status, so she dared not lose her temper. Otherwise, she might not get a penny in the future, and now it depends on how to maximize her benefits.

While a family drama was going on, the room began to teleport new people again. A man who stinks of alcohol was squatting on the ground, his beard was unkempt, and his cheap suit was covered with vomit stains and the smell of a filthy roadside ditch. He wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings and was still vomiting, causing an unpleasant smell to fill the room.

The flashy woman, the lingerie woman and the female host immediately covered their noses, glaring at him with disgust.

Then a professionally dressed female host holding a microphone, and a male cameraman carrying the equipment, came in. They were filled with fear, trembling non-stop.

"Excuse me, where are we? We are from the city’s television station, we went to a remote village for an interview, but encountered a mudslide. Did you guys save us?" The female host’s professional smile was very amiable. Zhao Guangji’s heart skipped a beat, wanting to approach her, but worried about losing face if rejected.

After ten seconds, an old man with white hair appeared. He was dressed in a Tang suit with gold-rimmed glasses, giving an impression of a scholar. Two male and two female graduate students accompanied him. They didn’t talk much but just looked around the room.

After Dantai Zongqi finished teleporting, he glanced at the crowd, nodded at Tang Zheng, walked to the corner and squatted. He hated being the center of attention. Qin Yan and Pang Meiqin arrived as well and headed straight to Tang Zheng.

The bold woman, the lingerie woman, and the female host all shifted their gaze to Tang Zheng. They could clearly see that this man held a position in the room. The old man and Jia Honglang were also looking at him with twinkling eyes.

"Handsome face and a decent body, but I wonder what does he really bring to the table." The noble lady steadied her breathing a little and walked towards Tang Zheng. She slightly nodded her head, anticipating that he would initiate a conversation with her. To her embarrassment, however, the young man didn’t say anything.

The teleportation continued – Lu Fan and Lin Weiguo appeared, followed by a man clutching a cabbage, a truck driver hauling a gasoline drum, and a middle-aged cleaning lady in a yellow vest, broom in hand.

"Could this woman be covered in blood after being hit by a car?" Lu Fan scanned the newcomers, looking for someone he could train.

"It’s possible," Zhao Guangji agreed, nodding his head. He then saw a young man in a baseball cap teleport into the room, with a woman in girl’s pants clinging to him. The sight of the cleaning lady startled them; they jumped, pointing at her, stuttering too much to speak.

The sight made it clear to everyone that there was an issue. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, but soon eased as an out-of-favor young female star appeared. After all, the opportunity to see a star up close was quite rare.

The female star proudly waved her hand implying that she needed not to be bothered, and everyone went about their own business. One thing however concerned her – did her makeup come off?

"Oh my, it’s Ruan Feifei, the host of the city TV station!" When Xu Biyun finished teleporting, she enthusiastically ran over to Ruan Feifei to ask for an autograph.

The smile on the face of the female star froze momentarily, though she quickly concealed her anger at having been ignored.

"There aren’t many people this time around. Here, take a drink. It’s a good stuff that doubles your vitality." Tang Zheng handed Lin Weiguo the Wasteland Strengthening Elixir, followed by his space backpack and various weapons and ammunition.

"Sorry for the expense." Lin Weiguo was deeply moved, secretly wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes. He didn’t have any points. If it weren’t for these supplies, he would have to struggle like a newbie.

"You’ve retained your enhanced physical prowess from after the revival, eh?" Lu Fan poked Lin’s leg. "Get a piece of protective clothing."

"I’ve captured a few pieces of damaged protective clothing. I can exchange it for a B-Class protective clothing. Even though it’s not the best, it’s better than nothing. And the Trojan Horse game is ruthless; you need two A-level protective clothing just for one B-level gear."

The noble woman looked at the items in Tang Zheng’s hands, her eyes spinning as she tried to guess what they were.

After a man with a recorder in his pocket, a reporter, was teleported into the room, all the newcomers participating in the Trojan Horse Game were in place.

Due to professional habit, the reporter immediately wanted to ask questions, but the Trojan didn’t give him a chance. The room was filled with the rock version of the International Song.

The newcomers stared at the black cube in surprise as it floated into the air. The toy’s avatar flickered on the hexagonal screen, finally changing into a cruel proclamation of slaughter.

"Toys, please entertain me with your insignificant lives and sweet blood!"

"What is going on here?" the lingerie woman screamed, clearly frightened. The faces of the others also turned grave – no one appreciated this kind of curse-like jest.

"The Survival Challenge Game will begin in five minutes. Please select your equipment. Each person can only select one type."

The floor opened, and a hollow steel frame rose from the ground. It was filled with black lacquered equipment, starkly contrasting with the pale white walls, adding to the ominous atmosphere.

"Select the protective clothing. It can improve your physical fitness by twofold and increase your chances of survival." Apart from Tang Zheng, nobody else cared about the life or death of these guys.

Hearing this, the film star and the cleaning lady hurriedly ran over and picked up a box. The lingerie woman looked at Jia Honglang, while the truck driver, and others looked at Tang Zheng suspiciously.

"Can we get an explanation?" Jia Honglang retained his calm composure, but Tang Zheng completely ignored him.

"Don’t worry about them. If they don’t want to listen, just let them die." Pang Meiqin felt threatened upon noticing a couple of beautiful women among the newcomers. After all, compared to her, a movie star and a popular hostess had natural advantages when dealing with men.

"Please note, you have four minutes left to select your equipment." The countdown by the Trojan began, making the newcomers anxious. Some believed Tang Zheng’s words, but the man in the baseball cap and his girlfriend picked up firearms. Zhao Guangji, the truck driver, the old man and his two male students also chose firearms, while the two female students chose protective clothing.

The female host and the cameraman looked at each other and decided to trust Tang Zheng, while the others were still undecided.
