Chapter 20: Wax-Sealing Cabin

Ten minutes of behind-the-scenes interactions passed quickly.

Next, the crowd gathered apathetically to view Guo Zhipeng’s wax-sealing process.

Actually, it was not wax-sealing, but a particular high-level sealing procedure. Presently, Li Teng could not understand the exact methodology.

Under the protection of several bodyguards, the masked wax sealer instructed his staff to bring over a wax-sealing cabin and a small changing room.

The wax-sealing cabin was different from the medical cabin. The medical cabin laid horizontally on the ground, while the wax-sealed cabin stood erected on the ground.

Guo Zhipeng’s face turned pale in an instant. This was obviously not what he expected.

Previously, he had gone through more than ten scenes as an extra and had been humiliated in every set. Through miraculous fortune, he had survived and become a guest extra.

In today’s filming, only the woman in the sunglasses had been equal to him, while the others had been lowly extras. The script had also allowed him to have a good time.

What had made him happier was that Li Teng, whom he hated most, was among the targets his sports car could hit.

Based on the script, this should be a revenge film!

He would be driving a sports car, and Li Teng would just be a pedestrian crossing the road. This car accident would ultimately end up with Li Teng dying!

This was just too wild, right?

Two bodyguards walked over and grabbed Guo Zhipeng from both sides.

Originally, Guo Zhipeng wanted to display his heroic bravery in the face of death in front of everyone. However, as soon as the two bodyguards grabbed him, his legs became weak. His entire body appeared as though it was turned into mud, unable to take even a step.

“Do you think he peed?” Gao Fei mocked from the side.

“Eh, I did smell pee.” Li Teng nodded.

…

“In the film studio, for people higher than our level, do they have more special abilities, higher cultivation, power to perform all sorts of sorceries and ability to fly through the air, just like in web-novels?” Li Teng and Gao Fei chatted.

“No, higher level here only means that you have more advantages when choosing the role to play. For example, for the eight roles to be played on the film set, if there are main characters and secondary characters, they have the priority to be the main character. If a lottery determines it, they are able to draw a few more times. However, they are still ordinary people like us, without any special abilities.” Gao Fei shook his head.

“You are misleading others,” said the woman in the sunglasses.

The woman in the sunglasses rarely spoke, which caused people to overlook her presence.

“Why is that so?” Li Teng looked at the woman in the sunglasses.

“He had probably only participated in one or two films, right? He does not know much about this film studio, yet he acts like a teacher and tells you the wrong things. Wouldn’t you be courting your own death if you believe him?” The woman in the sunglasses spoke scornfully.

“You are right. What I know is from hearsay. Senior, please advise us, what is happening exactly?” Gao Fei smiled awkwardly.

“I’m far from being able to advise you, but you can ask me this question in the paid Q&A session later.” The woman in the sunglasses refused to provide a free answer.

While talking, the wax sealer on the other side had already started the wax-sealing procedure on Guo Zhipeng.

The first step was to let Guo Zhipeng select a set of clothes and the corresponding props, wine glasses, snacks, etc., from a machine similar to a tablet.

Of course, there was a time limit for him to make a decision. He must decide within three minutes, or else he would be given a random costume and props.

Guo Zhipeng sullenly stared at where Li Teng was and chose a costume and wine glass under the wax sealer’s urging.

The staff soon delivered the clothes and the wine glass and brought Guo Zhipeng into the small dressing room to change his clothes.

It looked quite festive.

He now somewhat resembled the wax statues Li Teng had seen earlier.

These were also the last few minutes Guo Zhipeng had before becoming a wax statue.

After choosing the costume and props, Guo Zhipeng was escorted and locked into the transparent wax-sealing cabin under the wax sealer’s instructions.

The wax sealer chose a pose for Guo Zhipeng using the panel on the outside of the wax-sealing cabin. He had selected a smiling face for him. When the wax sealing cabin was going through the wax-sealing process, Guo Zhipeng’s posture would be forcibly changed by the procedure. A smile would also be forced on his face.

Currently, Guo Zhipeng was feeling very down, and his face looked depressed. He wanted to cry but was unable to. Instead, he was forced to smile by the wax-sealing cabin, which made his smile look very strange.

After everything was in place, the wax sealer initiated the final wax-sealing procedure.

Guo Zhipeng’s body gradually became stiff in the wax-sealing cabin, and finally stopped moving.

Undoubtedly, Guo Zhipeng’s account did not have more than 1,000 points. After the points were used up, he could only bear the consequences of becoming a wax statue. If he did not have relatives and friends willing to save him, he would be permanently imprisoned in the wax statue.

The thought of having a friend or relative to spend 1,000 points to save him seemed unrealistic now.

The curious Gao Fei asked Li Teng, “By the way, how did you become enemies?”

“I used to work in the same company as him. Back then, I had just graduated from university, and he was the one who interviewed me. Later, he became my department’s supervisor…” Li Teng broadly narrated the conflict between him and Guo Zhipeng to everyone.

“Take the opportunity to use night shifts to force himself on female college students! He had it coming! I have long felt that this person was problematic!” After listening to him, the old lady expressed support for Li Teng.

“Indeed, he had it coming. He has a rotten character and no professional ethics at all!” The white-collar female also expressed her views.

“No matter where you work, you will always encounter such a villain. Once he has a little bit of power in his hand, and he will take full advantage of it for his personal gain,” Gao Fei said ruefully.

“Although using night shifts to take advantage of female college students and selling company assets makes one’s blood boil, why didn’t you say it earlier when he was still here? Now that he has become a wax figure and cannot speak, you can say whatever you want. Why should we believe you?” The spectacled man questioned everything Li Teng had said.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. I wasn’t answering your question anyway,” Li Teng said plainly to the spectacled man. He did not want to get too involved with this self-righteous man who enjoyed contradicting others.
