But none of this really matters, for Chu Liang, this is already quite satisfying.

He stretched out lazily, lying sprawled on the luxurious and comfortable hotel bed, recalling the events of the past few days, lost in thought.

He still remembers a few months ago, when he met that mysterious man in this city.

Back then, he was filming a magic video with his team, and unexpectedly, they found a real Transcendent among the random people in the restaurant.

Remembering how he initially mistook the man for a Magic Master hiding his true skills, Chu Liang couldn't help but smile slightly.

He had been too naive; that wasn't magic at all, it was clearly real Extraordinary Power!

Later on, his next encounter with the man in Qionghua City was on that variety show.

It was that moment when he realized that Extraordinary Power truly existed in this world.

At first, he fell into exploring the Extraordinary World, even missing several commercial performances as a result.

However, shortly afterward, when he encountered the terrifying swarm of Mutant Rats in Gaul, his mindset began to shift.

From that moment, he finally understood that things like Extraordinary Powers were just illusions.

For an ordinary person like himself, chasing after this could lead to a very tragic outcome.

So since then, he never actively contacted the name on his social media again.

Until a couple of days ago, when the events at the immortal mountain occurred, and after seeing news of many explorers meeting their demise in the mountains, he was inspired to write that post.

Now, with the immortal mountain incident, the area hundreds of kilometers southeast of Jinyinhua City to the coastline has been sealed off, prohibiting all vehicle passage.

Chu Liang once used a telescope to look there, and although the angle only showed the tip of the iceberg, that glimpse alone was enough to shock him.

It was a basin, bare and devoid of life.

The battle between the giant and the Holy Light Angel permanently altered the terrain there.

Especially the string of consecutive self-detonations by the Holy Angel.

Despite the compressed Strength, the terrifying Light Ball still turned the area within hundreds of kilometers into a massive basin.

Fortunately, it was already a mountainous forest leading to the shoreline, with no residents and no roads or railways built.

Apart from some unfortunate explorers being affected, no other casualties occurred.

Having witnessed the scene there, Chu Liang became more resolute in his previous thoughts, leading him to post in the Starry Community.

The Transcendent is certainly fascinating, but life is the most important.

Without life, everything becomes empty talk.

"Creak~"

While Chu Liang was deep in thought, the hotel room door opened, and a dazzling woman in casual attire entered.

Seeing Chu Liang lying on the bed as if lifeless, the woman's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a clear voice emerged from her lips.

"Chu Liang, why are you daydreaming here again? Have you memorized the lines I told you to? Tomorrow we're heading to the filming location, don't mess up!"

As she spoke, she walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Chu Liang with an expression of frustration.

"Chu Liang, this time I've worked hard to get you to shoot with the team, you can't slack off anymore. Memorize your lines, do camera rehearsals, if needed, go train your physical fitness as well."

She rambled on with a lot of instructions.

However, the ramblings that came from this beautiful woman's mouth didn't sound annoying; instead, they were as pleasant as the singing of a oriole, making one's mood joyful.

But perhaps Chu Liang was the only exception in the world.

Because he grew up listening to this woman's words.

What sounds beautiful and pleasant to other men sounds no different than the nagging of a typical housewife to him.

Exactly, the woman in front of him is Chu Liang's sister, the one known as the Movie Queen, Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Liang lost their parents at a young age, growing up under the care of neighbors, practically living off the kindness of others.

After growing up, Chu Xiaoxiao relied on her talent and thrived in the entertainment circle, eventually becoming Huaxia's youngest Movie Queen before turning thirty.

Nowadays, she often brings her brother along, trying to use her connections to give him a helping hand.

Unfortunately, despite Chu Liang having decent Talent in magic, his acting skills were lacking, frequently messing up on set and having poor acting skills.

Even having a Movie Queen sister couldn't make him famous quickly.

Today, they received the company's assignment to come to Qionghua City to shoot a program.

This program is somewhat different from usual programs; it's neither a movie nor variety show, but rather a kind of exploration-related segment.

The subject of this program's interview is said to be a group of people involved in mysterious Transcendent events.

Chu Xiaoxiao had worked hard to ensure Chu Liang could come along to gain some experience.

She only knew this program was important, with company leaders personally supervising the entire process, but the specifics were still unknown to her.

Strictly speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao was merely a host.

As for Chu Liang, he was purely there as a bystander.

Although the company valued Movie Queen Chu Xiaoxiao, they wouldn't treat serious matters casually.

"Alright, sis, I know. This program really doesn't have much to do with me. I only have one line, how could I not remember it? You've asked me five times today!"

Chu Liang looked helplessly at his sister.

Though he loved the film industry and wanted to make a name for himself.

But unfortunately, his Talent was limited, as if all the performing talent was added to his sister, while he couldn't seem to learn it.

This time, he's going, supposedly as a participant, but he's really just playing a minor role, simply watching from the sidelines without much technical skill.

Yet even so, his sister Chu Xiaoxiao would still come over several times a day, urging him to ponder that line repeatedly.

Chu Liang thought that if he weren't enticed by the chance to meet real Transcendents through this program, he wouldn't have bothered to come all this way.

"Chu Liang! Do you know why you can't act well? Because you're too unconcerned! Look, it's just one off-screen line, but through personal flair, through personal interpretation of the script, you can deliver many outstanding performances that catch the director's eye, like..."

Beside him, Chu Xiaoxiao began lecturing her brother.

If this treatment were given to any new actor in the country, they would be moved to tears.

But for Chu Liang, it appeared more irritating.

He waved his hand in annoyance, wanting his sister to stop the nagging.

Yet he had no choice but to succumb to this auditory torment.

Time passed for about half an hour, and Chu Xiaoxiao finally stopped, feeling tired.

Just as she prepared to drink some water to refresh her throat, the room's door suddenly swung open, and a bespectacled middle-aged woman hurriedly rushed in.

"Xiaoxiao! Oh my! So you were here! I sent you texts but got no reply! Hurry up! The program has started early! The director has ordered everyone to get ready, so pack up and let's go!"
