Ultra Star

Chapter 53: Good Times Before the Devil Arrives

"This piece of meat is pretty good. We can all enjoy a meal of braised pork tonight! Fortunately, we all worked hard today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to have a good meal."

“That’s right, is this variety show so real? The money for the ingredients is all earned through playing games.”

"But starting tomorrow, the game will be more difficult. I heard that it will include the daily training of firefighters and so on."

"Don't worry, I'm here. How can you lose?"

While buying food, Cui Cheng and Ye Ling chatted. All the money for buying food was earned through the points gained from playing games. Therefore, in the beginning, the eight people didn't have a good meal because the game also included the four invited people.

"Are you ok?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. My uncle talked to me about it that day, and I'm fine now."

Cui Cheng actually always felt a little guilty. He thought that his negative emotions would affect other people around him, and this was absolutely unacceptable.

"My child, you look tonight very much like our comrade who died."

"Uncle, I just need to get up at night."

"Will you stand here when you get up at night?"

The two stood next to the window, with the toilet on the other side and some distance away.

"My child, you are now a member of the special investigation team and you will be exposed to many things that your uncle cannot be exposed to. Therefore, your uncle cannot say anything, but your uncle must tell you that your mood will more or less affect your friends. Therefore, you must learn to hide your feelings, understand?"

Cui Cheng nodded, but he couldn't help himself. After all, it was the first time he saw someone sacrifice in front of him.

"You have to remember that a man's growth begins with swallowing all the pain. I'm also a father with a daughter in the third year of high school, but I missed her growth many times because of my work. But isn't that what our job is? We may even make sacrifices from time to time when we sacrifice our own family for the sake of the public." Gu Xiong took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen saver photo of a beautiful young girl. "But we still have to endure this sadness. Even if a colleague we have known for many years dies, we still have to carry out the mission the next day. It's not easy for you to go through so many things in your 20s, but you almost made it through. I hope you can make it again."

As he was speaking, Cui Cheng saw a mouse passing by in front of him. Ye Ling was startled, but Cui Cheng could tell that it was a Northeastern immortal.

"Sorry, please take the food back first. I remembered that I have something else to buy, so I'll go back first."

Afterwards, Cui Cheng walked back and showed his ID to the cameraman, asking him to wait for him nearby.

"Hey, little guy, where are you?"

"You did find me."

A young man in a gray robe and with big front teeth stood behind Cui Cheng.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm here to meet you. I should go and see you in person. But you haven't been home these days, so I can't tell you."

"Nothing. Now that you have come from outside your territory to look for me, I'm afraid something has happened?"

The child nodded and said, "Well, according to my father, a traitor from the fox clan secretly unleashed a terrifying monster. To use the words of the gentleman, it can transform into three states."

"What are you talking about! You mean you can switch between the three states of solid, liquid and gas at will? But it's not necessarily difficult to deal with just this, right?"

"That's right, sir. The terrifying thing about that monster is that its three-state transformation is not affected by the outside world. In other words, it is completely up to it to decide what form it wants to transform into."

"This... can't be solved simply by fighting. Isn't this a bug? I'm not Max-senpai, why did you assign me such a bug monster?"

Cui Cheng held his forehead and felt uncomfortable. He had heard Liu Yun say that this was the kind of thing that Senior Max liked to deal with.

At this moment, somewhere in the universe, a red giant was sneezing and felt like he was lifted up by someone.

"So, how should I fight that guy? I don't know how to do it?!"

"Please rest assured, sir. There is a special core inside it. We can just smash it. However, its combat power is not weak, and we don't know where it is hiding right now."

This put Cui Cheng in a lot of trouble. If he had only discovered something special, he could have told the troops, but now he couldn't say that he had chatted with a mouse and heard that a monster was going to invade the world. Forget it, he would find a way to explain it himself when the time comes.

"By the way, is there anything else? I have something else to do."

"Sir, everything is fine now. Besides, this is the marked location of the monster's haunt. Also, if I can't find anyone to assist me, the elders of my tribe told me that I can seek help from Shi Tuo of the Meteor Corps."

Cui Cheng nodded to express his gratitude, took the scroll and left.

After Cui Cheng returned, he told the cameraman and other staff members not to ask him about the matter and to keep it confidential.

At night, Cui Cheng asked his uncle and the program team to arrange a separate room for him. At night, Cui Cheng studied the range of the demon's activities.

Cui Cheng discovered that although the demon appeared all over the country, its range was near schools and kindergartens.

"Are there only a few missing? According to the data, the monster has a high IQ, and with the addition of the fox traitor, this time there will be some trouble!" Cui Cheng sighed as he looked at the data in his hand, "According to the database, only a few students are missing in each place. How could it be possible for others to think of the same thing? It looks like I have to contact Shi Tuo tomorrow. And it seems..."

Based on Cui Cheng's analysis of the information, it might be Tianhai City's turn next time, and the program crew will go to Qin Liang's school tomorrow.

"Take advantage of this activity to keep an eye on all the teachers and students in the school as much as possible."

As he spoke, Cui Cheng took out the Dragon Spear, used his own blood as a guide to communicate with Lao Hui, and asked it to let his family keep an eye on all the students as much as possible.

"Go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."

The next morning, before the gathering, Cui Cheng contacted Shi Tuo using the communicator and asked him to pick up the Huixian family.

"I just hope nothing unexpected happens." Cui Cheng was thinking this, and then he thought of another point, "My damn Qin Liang is in that school!!! What should I do?"

"Not really?" Hua Maomao and others looked at Cui Cheng, feeling that he was going a little too far.

"You don't understand. As a non-celebrity, if my friends found out that I was participating in the show, it would be like performing a show during the Chinese New Year. I will never forget the way my father and uncles laughed at me when I was performing. Woo woo woo..."

Cui Cheng was still complaining until he arrived at the scene, but he saw the person he least wanted to see.

"Brother, why are you here? Aunt Qin told you to find a partner as soon as possible a few days ago. After all, you have never been in a relationship at your age."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the guests burst into laughter, and Cui Cheng hurriedly ran over to cover Qin Liang's mouth.

"My dear, please spare me. I am a special guest on the show. Please give me some face as your brother." As he said that, he gestured to Qin Liang for help. "Also, there is no rush for me to find a partner. I am still young."

Cui Cheng emphasized the last few words of this sentence. This conversation brought the variety show to its fullest effect and the director was very satisfied.

At school, the director asked several invited guests to participate in an obstacle race, which required two laps. In the second lap, slips of paper were drawn to find people or things in the field that met the requirements.

"I always have a bad feeling."

Cui Cheng always felt that something bad was going to happen because those variety show directors were always like this.

"Acupressure mat!! And a bunch of water balloons!!"

"Not only that, we will also select a few students present to hold water guns to stop you. I hope everyone will work hard. By the way, Team Member Cui Cheng, your sister specially requested an extra gun, and prepared two to use on you."

"What!!"

Cui Cheng looked at Qin Liang's beautiful youthful face and felt frightened. The scenes of him helping her seemed like they happened just yesterday. That was the only time Cui Cheng regretted helping her.

"Sister, I have never bullied you in my life. You can't play it like this."

"I can't help it. Auntie said that she hopes I can target you during the game and urge you to find a partner."

I only remember that for a long time afterwards, Cui Cheng didn't dare to face Qin Liang. Every time he faced this sister, he felt like he understood how good the Peter people were at invading.

Later, several people stayed with a few students for a while and left during lunch. Before leaving, Cui Cheng asked Qin Liang to say hello to Hua Pengchao on his behalf.

"I never thought I would be urged to get married while participating in a TV show."

"By the way, you carried me and ran the last lap. What did the note say?"

"The note says...it seems to be...yes, the person with the best appearance among all of them."

"So you think I have the best appearance?" Hua Maomao asked, looking forward to the answer.

"Oh, not really. Mainly because I'm embarrassed to hug other members of the opposite sex. After all, if I hug someone like a princess, the fans might tear them to pieces." Cui Cheng scratched his head and said, "Even if I want to hug Qin Liang, I don't think she's grown up yet."

After Cui Cheng finished speaking, Wu Fei and the other person sitting in front of him felt that they couldn't carry on. Later, Hua Maomao ignored Cui Cheng for the rest of the day.

In addition, the demon did appear, but was blocked by secret magic. At the same time, the whole city was searching for the traces of the traitor fox, but there was not much progress, because the fox acted with the demon and concealed its own presence.

"Shit! Let me catch that fox and I promise to make him into a neckerchief."

Cui Cheng's eyelids kept twitching before going to bed, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

In a corner of Tianhai City, a red-haired fox hid in an alley, and he could speak human language.

"Damn it, if it wasn't for that thing, why would I stay here?"
