Capítulo 23: Chapter 23 Rules

Editor: Atlas Studios

"I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question either. No one in the production teams I've been part of has ever answered it, so I can't answer it for you. Please ask another question," Sunglasses Woman shook her head.

"Ah? Well... okay then," Gao Fei was somewhat disappointed.

The others were also somewhat disappointed. Although reaching the ground seemed a distant goal for everyone, it was still a direction they were striving for, and what they wanted now was a definitive answer.

But Sunglasses Woman clearly couldn't provide one.

"My other question is, if you had a relative, a very dear one turned into a wax figure, would you spend 1,000 points to save her? Or would you use those 1,000 points to decrease the height of the stone column? Or save her instead?" Gao Fei posed another question after pondering for a moment.

"I would save her," Sunglasses Woman replied to Gao Fei after a moment of silence, her tone becoming somewhat colder, as if Gao Fei's question had touched a sensitive spot in her heart.

"Why? Does it make sense? What if she dies again after being saved?" Gao Fei was somewhat surprised by Sunglasses Woman's answer. He was actually using her response to judge how he should decide, but her answer clearly differed from his choices.

"That's a second question," Sunglasses Woman turned her head to look at the director.

"Answer valid, reward 1 point, next," the director spoke.

"Wait, let me answer this question for you as a favor," Sunglasses Woman hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer Gao Fei's question.

Everyone turned to look at Sunglasses Woman, eager to hear her profound thoughts on this issue.

"What if we use those 1,000 points to lower the stone column, return to the real world, and then are never able to come back here? Wouldn't our relatives be forever sealed in wax figures? If it's a very dear relative, and I have enough 1,000 points, then, of course, I would save them. What's the point of going back if I can't take my relatives with me? How can I face the pain of losing a loved one every day?" Sunglasses Woman's tone grew even colder.

"But what if, after being saved, she makes a dumb mistake again? Do you have to save her again?" Gao Fei continued to ask.

"It's simple. If I earn 2,000 points, that would solve the problem, right? 1,000 points to save a relative, 1,000 points to lower to the ground. Then I can leave this place with my relative. You might think earning points is hard now, but maybe 1,000 points won't be so much if you reach a higher level," Sunglasses Woman replied to Gao Fei.

"Hmm, that makes sense," Gao Fei reflected on Sunglasses Woman's answer, seemingly resolving a concern.

"It's your turn," Sunglasses Woman looked at Li Teng.

"Beauty, you have a trapped relative too, right?" Gao Fei interjected again.

"Next question," Sunglasses Woman ignored Gao Fei and gestured to Li Teng.

Li Teng's question was already prepared.

"I just asked him if being an actor one level higher, or two levels higher, means having more special abilities, better cultivation, etc., and he said no, it just means having an advantage in casting. You said earlier that his answer was wrong, and I want to know why."

"His answer isn't completely wrong. Indeed, as an extra is promoted to a Minor Special Engagement, and from there to following a crew, we won't possess superpowers beyond ordinary people, just have greater priority in choosing script roles," Sunglasses Woman replied.

"However, there are some special cases,"

"For example, if you are acting in a martial arts film and have also risen to a certain level that allows you to play a supporting role in a major film, suppose you play Western Poison Ouyang Feng, and the scene to be shot is a duel between two top-level martial artists, Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi Gong..."

"If a victory must be decided between them in that scene, and one of them must die to complete the filming, then you must use points before acting to redeem one or several martial arts that your character Ouyang Feng possesses, such as Toad Skill, to ensure that you can at least hold your own in this duel with Hong Qi Gong," Sunglasses Woman explained.

"During the filming of this scene, as Ouyang Feng, you really possess the Toad Skill and can perform it on set,"

"Similarly, if you're acting in a science fiction film and you're playing Spider-Man, having redeemed Spider Silk before acting, you can actually shoot Spider Silk from your palms during scene shooting to portray your role."

"If you're acting in a ghost film and play a ghost, having redeemed the ability to walk through walls, during the shooting of the scene, you indeed can walk through walls,"

"This kind of redemption is only valid during filming. Once you leave the set, you revert to being an ordinary person and can't carry the special abilities from the set to the outside world,"

"This redemption even has a coercive nature because if you don't use points to redeem their corresponding martial arts or special abilities, you will not be able to complete the shooting of that scene, and it's very likely you could be killed by your opponent in that scene, leading to a loss beyond recovery,"

"Higher-level actors not only have an advantage in casting but also often hold more points in their hands, having already redeemed the superpowers that the roles they play possess. Using these superpowers to overpower a lower-ranked extra on set is an easy task,"

"That's why I said earlier that his answer was incorrect,"

"I didn't have to answer your question in such detail, but I did because I see potential in you. This is effectively a favor I'm doing for you," Sunglasses Woman concluded her thorough explanation.

"Answer valid, award 3 points," the director announced.

"This... doesn't count as me owing you a favor, right? A question was originally worth 1 point, but I helped you gain 2 extra points, so it should be you owing me a favor," Li Teng countered Sunglasses Woman's earlier statement.

"You..." Sunglasses Woman, separated by sunglasses, was a bit annoyed at not gaining an advantage.

"The points needed to redeem superpowers must be a lot, right? Points are so precious, used in performances to redeem these superpowers, are they only usable in that particular shooting scene? If you had fully explained that last question to me, then I would indeed owe you a favor," Li Teng called out to Sunglasses Woman.

The set had too many unwritten rules, and Li Teng had to grasp these rules as quickly and cheaply as possible to better handle future shooting tasks, to avoid falling into traps set by others due to a lack of understanding of these rules.
