Chapter 173 Southeast Asia Filming, Sixteenth Simulation
The efficiency on Hong Kong Island is quite good. After passing the audition, I received a notification to join the filming crew within two days.

It must be said that the movie "Protégé" is quite exciting.

Some scenes were filmed on location in Southeast Asia, and the YS flowers covering the mountains and fields in the movie were real locations!
On his first day on set, Sheng Yunxuan had to go to the filming location with Andy Lau!

Upon learning this news, agent Qin Qianrong was clearly flustered and began repeatedly confirming safety issues with the production crew.

She even planned to hire a team of bodyguards to ensure Sheng Yunxuan's safety while filming there.

However, it must be said that Qin Qianrong was a bit too concerned and made a mistake.

Not to mention that director Derek Yee prepared for many years to make the film "Protégé".

It's said that Bernard was behind this movie, and Bernard was backed by Boley.

This is a large conglomerate with a national name, involved in many industries, and even selling biubiubiu (a type of virtual currency).

No matter how professional or skilled Qin Qianrong's bodyguard team was, it couldn't compare to the other side using just a little bit of their connections...

Besides, if something really happens, with Sheng Yunxuan's physical strength and combat power, even if his body can't withstand firearms, escaping shouldn't be a problem!
However, when Sheng Yunxuan and his group arrived at the location with the film crew and got a general understanding of the situation, they found that the situation here had actually improved a lot.

In recent years, international efforts to combat this issue have intensified.

Furthermore, technological advancements have led to lower costs and better quality for artificially synthesized flowers, making this area less competitive. Consequently, fewer people are cultivating YS flowers, a far cry from the rampant practices of a few years ago.

However, this is ultimately only a temporary solution, as it doesn't address the root cause of the poverty. Driven by greed, the locals will eventually resort to unethical or dishonest means...

As they prepared to depart for the filming location, Sheng Yunxuan looked at Zhang Jiao, whose face was full of tension, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying:

"You and Fang Lan can stay here in Chiang Mai for now, you don't need to come with me!"

How could an 18-year-old girl not be scared when she was asked to go to a place like that to film?

But after hearing Sheng Yunxuan's words, Zhang Jiao still shook her head and refused, weakly saying:

"I have to get there... There are so many people in the crew, it's okay, it's okay!"

Fang Lan, the accompanying agent, will stay in Chiang Mai so that she can help contact people back home if something happens.

But Zhang Jiao is Sheng Yunxuan's assistant, so she always has to follow behind him.

Are you suggesting that the boss should go out to work and earn money to support them, while the employees can just stay in resorts in Chiang Mai and enjoy themselves?

That doesn't make sense!
However, Sheng Yunxuan's thoughts were different at this moment.

Because Zhang Jiao went along, it actually served no purpose at all.

If something really happens, Sheng Yunxuan will be able to escape faster on his own since he won't have any burdens holding him back...

Of course, this is actually unlikely to happen.

The film crew came to film on location after being notified in advance; no one would be so blind as to ignore it.

Although the filming seemed dangerous, it wasn't actually a big problem. So when Sheng Yunxuan saw Zhang Jiao's insistence, he didn't press the issue further and agreed to let her go with him.

In reality, for safety reasons, the production crew could not film in such an unstable area for too long.

Apart from a few shots of the YS flowers covering the mountains and fields, the rest of the related storylines will not be filmed here.

The movie includes scenes of contact with local armed personnel, but of course, they couldn't actually go and ask them for help with filming; they just built a set afterward...

Therefore, the crew only had one day to film in these special areas.

Moreover, because they had already made arrangements and given instructions beforehand, the crew didn't encounter any difficulties during filming.

However, the only problem the crew is facing right now is that there are just too many mosquitoes, snakes, rats, and other such creatures in the wild!
At this time, sharp, violent cries could be heard from time to time from the female staff members of the film crew at their accommodation.

I could tell from their voice that they had found something like insects or snakes, and they were terrified...

Sheng Yunxuan's assistant, Zhang Jiao, was squatting next to him with a miserable expression. Several large, red, and very noticeable mosquito bites were already on her chubby cheeks.

Sheng Yunxuan, who was adjusting his state while holding the script, raised an eyebrow slightly and looked down at Zhang Jiao, saying:

Why are you squatting at my feet?

"Someone just saw a snake in the camp, so I'm afraid to wander off..."

Zhang Jiao squatted there, her little face looking pitiful as she said something.

Then she couldn't help but move closer to Sheng Yunxuan, taking a few quick sniffs with the tip of her nose.

Now, her boss not only has that indescribable yet incredibly addictive "body fragrance," but also an even stronger, refreshing scent of Chinese herbs!

"Boss, you smell so good... Did you use some mosquito repellent? It works so well, there isn't a single mosquito around me!"

The clever Zhang Jiao had already discovered the secret that there were no mosquitoes around Sheng Yunxuan, so naturally she would like to squat next to him.

Well, in her mind, Sheng Yunxuan is practically a human mosquito repellent now...

Sheng Yunxuan noticed that Zhang Jiao's face was covered in mosquito bites, and couldn't help but take a few more glances before chuckling and explaining:
"It's not mosquito repellent, it's a herbal powder packet I made myself... Take it out and sprinkle it around our tent, and no mosquitoes, rodents, snakes, or other insects will come near!"

"No wonder you smell like herbs... Boss, you even have this?" Zhang Jiao looked at Sheng Yunxuan with some admiration.

"Be careful when you apply it, the powder is a little toxic, it will cause redness and swelling if it gets on your skin!"

"okay!"

In the previous simulation of "Golden Snake Gentleman Xia Xueyi", Sheng Yunxuan obtained knowledge of poison techniques.

Compared to martial arts skills, the strange and wonderful poisons from the world of martial arts are much more useful!

Colorless and odorless, stealthy and unpredictable, it is incredibly effective. Of course, Sheng Yunxuan had no intention of intentionally harming anyone.

After all, we live in a society governed by law, and we can't just resort to violence or murder anymore.

But Sheng Yunxuan couldn't just let himself be slaughtered, so he had to prepare some trump cards for himself, just in case...

In such outdoor environments, knowledge of poisons also found a more normal application, such as preparing snake and insect repellent kits.

The crew was all set up here, and after communicating and coordinating with the locals, the most exciting and thrilling scenes in the movie were finally about to begin filming.

Moreover, filming was quite simple for Sheng Yunxuan, requiring no exceptional acting skills.

Lin Kun takes the protagonist, Ali, deep into Southeast Asia, intending to hand over his upstream distribution channels to him.

The two only need to sit on an elephant, and the camera will follow them "deep" into the area, realistically showcasing what happens on this land in the film...

Just as Sheng Yunxuan sat on the elephant and started filming, his "golden finger" began to react.

【…】

[The profile of "JC Undercover Agent Ali" is being entered into the database.]

【Entry successful! 】

【…】

[The sixteenth life simulation begins again!]

【…】

"You were born on Hong Kong Island in the 1980s. From your birth to adulthood, it was precisely the golden age of Hong Kong's development. You were accustomed to the prosperity from a young age, but you were also accustomed to the filth beneath that prosperity."

"Knowing all this, your innate strong sense of justice led you to choose to become a police officer. And because of your outstanding performance, you were quickly selected by your superiors and assigned to infiltrate the drug lord Lin Kun's inner circle as an undercover agent."

"Starting as a henchman, you spent seven years, relying on your meticulousness and resourcefulness to pass numerous tests and trials, and finally gained Lin Kun's trust!"

"Lin Kun is the head of the largest drug trafficking syndicate in Hong Kong, but his health is not ideal..."

"Furthermore, with a wife and three children to tie him down, Lin Kun finally considered retiring. Because he highly regards you, he chose you as his 'disciple,' wanting you to succeed him!"

"Over the past seven years, you and Lin Kun have spent a lot of time together. He is extremely close to you, treating you like a younger brother, and even wanted to introduce you to his sister-in-law. Inevitably, you developed familial feelings for him."

"But you know it's all fake, all an act, so you start to feel lost, even becoming unwilling to talk to people, and finding solace in a flock of pigeons when you have nothing to do."

"While your superior was focused on solving the case, he didn't notice your emotional shift. He just wanted you to quickly uncover Lin Kun's connections and gather evidence to bring him to justice!"

"Because of the seven years of relationship you've built, it's natural that you've inevitably felt a little shaken and hesitant..."

"At the same time, you also met your drug-addicted neighbor, Afen, and her daughter. You witnessed firsthand her painful struggle to break free from her addiction, and a sense of sympathy arose in your heart for her."

["Even though Lin Kun had warned you that people who have been exposed to these things are half-human, half-ghost, and you shouldn't believe anything they say, you still wanted to help her quit. You tried everything you could, constantly encouraging Afang to persevere."]

"But unfortunately, you underestimated the power of this stuff. Once you're hooked, it's incredibly difficult to break free. Your efforts to help Ah Fen quit drugs ultimately failed completely!"

["Deeply disappointed, you completely withdrew your sympathy for her. But when you went to find Afen again, you discovered that she had died tragically from an overdose, and her body had even been eaten by rats..."]

"Having witnessed Ah Fen's miserable state firsthand, you, who were previously somewhat hesitant and unsure whether to target Lin Kun, finally made up your mind to destroy Lin Kun's entire business in one fell swoop."

"Thus, through your efforts, you quickly and thoroughly grasped all of Lin Kun's upstream and downstream channels and evidence, and then, in cooperation with your superior, you directly closed the net."

["Lin Kun, once captured, finds your betrayal unbelievable. You, however, want to persuade him to confess everything in exchange for leniency. But when you go to find him, you discover that Lin Kun has already committed suicide by slitting his throat in the toilet!"]

"You wanted to call for help, but Lin Kun held you back. He hoped you would consider your past relationship and not call for help, letting him die like this, otherwise his wife and children would not have a good life."

["You couldn't bear it, but ultimately, considering the bond you'd built over the past seven years, you stared blankly as Lin Kun died before your eyes, sacrificing his family's safety..."]

"Because of your disregard for the bigger picture, you lost the great achievement that was already within your grasp. Your seven-year undercover mission ultimately brought you no honor. Your superiors are quite cold towards you and even hope you will continue as an undercover agent."

"You didn't refuse the request because your seven years undercover work made you completely incompatible with the identity of a police officer. So you chose to go back undercover and found a way to get Ah Fen's scumbag husband imprisoned and gain custody of Ah Fen's daughter."

"You continued your undercover life, still dealing with addicts and drug lords every day, just like the previous seven years."

"But in reality, everything has changed. Even the pigeons you relied on for emotional support have disappeared. You feel an unprecedented sense of confusion and emptiness, and you've even started to wonder about drugs and want to try them!"

"At that crucial moment, Afen's daughter suddenly appeared and stopped you. From then on, she became your anchor, preventing you from sinking further into depravity, and allowing you to reaffirm your beliefs and continue fighting on the front lines of anti-drug efforts..."

[As an undercover agent, you were remarkably successful. While ensuring your own safety, you dismantled a massive drug trafficking network at minimal cost. Even if few know of your efforts and sacrifices, your achievements are undeniable!]

[Sixteenth simulation complete, Achievement Points +280]

[Reward available: "The Sims' Memories" (10 Achievement Points required to view each time)...]

……

Sheng Yunxuan glanced at the redeemable rewards and his eye twitched.

After all, he's a disciple and successor of a major drug lord; what kind of knowledge and skills does he possess?

While both involve poison, the Golden Snake Swordsman's poison skills are Sheng Yunxuan's trump card, and are even useful in ordinary times.

But if those things in the ellipsis are redeemed, does that mean Sheng Yunxuan has to create an entire industry chain on his own?
This isn't just a serious crime; it's a dead end with no future, the kind of situation where you'll eventually lose your way. Only someone with a screw loose would get involved in something like this!

Fortunately, Sheng Yunxuan had already run out of achievement points, and he didn't have any to exchange for more rewards after simulating King Zhou.

To prevent this from happening again in the future, it's advisable to save up more achievement points in advance.

Aside from the achievement points I used to exchange for simulated memories, I'll save the rest for later...
