Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
At 7 pm, after taking two wrong turns, Liu Dao and Chen Ge finally arrived at their destination.
“Come on, I’ll introduce you to the other workers of our studio.” Liu Dao parked the car and walked into the nearby brush.
“We’re at the outskirt of the Jiujiang district, yes?” Chen Ge inspected the content of his backpack before getting out from the car. The road was filled with holes from lack of maintenance, and there was a small mound of rocks in the way like someone was purposely blocking up the road. The trees that lined the road were tall and lush, probably planted decades ago.
The canopy blocked out the moonlight completely, and after entering the brush, it was as dark as night. Chen Ge turned on the flashlight and followed behind Liu Dao. They had been trekking for ten minutes already, and they were still trapped among the trees.
“Brother, are we lost?” Chen Ge looked around him, and there was no trace of any human activity.
“Don’t fret, don’t fret.” Liu Dao made a call before turning down a small lane. “This area is very complicated. There’s nothing for us to refer to, so it’s very easy to get lost. You’re entering the mental hospital alone, so be careful. I advise you to mark some trees as you move toward the building.”
After a few more minutes of walking, Liu Dao and Chen Ge finally exited the brush. A large tent appeared before their eyes.
“This is the only open ground nearby and the place with the best signal.” When they spotted Liu Dao, the people inside the tent walked over.
“Brother Liu, where have you been? You know we are lacking in manpower; are you trying to work Sister Lee and myself to our death?” a young man who had a crew-cut and the head the shape of a pot lid grumbled. He looked about twenty and was forward with his words.
“Why did we let him go fetch the person knowing he’s horrible with directions?” Sister Lee asked. Her skin was rough, and she was more muscular than most men.
To diffuse the awkward situation, Liu Dao dragged Chen Ge over. “This is the host who will be livestreaming inside the Third Sick Hall alone—Chen Ge. There’s still some time before the livestream. You can teach him how to use the livestreaming equipment and camera techniques.”
“This is Chen Ge?” Sister Lee pushed Liu Dao aside and started studying Chen Ge alongside the teen. When they saw Chen Ge’s get-up, there was a flash of confused shock in their eyes. Isn’t he going to do a supernatural livestream? Why did he bring a chicken with him?
They wanted to mock him, but since this was their first meeting, they held their tongues.
“I’m Zhang Pin, and this is Sister Lee. We’ll be responsible for helping you relay your livestream.” The teen led Chen Ge into the tent. There was plenty of equipment inside. He taught Chen Ge how to use it all and then had Chen Ge open the black suitcase. He explained each piece of equipment’s usage one by one.
Outside the tent, Sister Lee whispered, “Ol’ Liu, you sure this kid can work? We have sacrificed the slot of two hosts with 100,000 viewers to earn a level two platform recommendation. The platform is afraid of earning Qin Guang’s ire and purposely making this difficult for us.”
