Chapter 52: The Correct Way to Use Colorful Skins
Jade Emperor Peak, in front of the main hall.
When the sunlight fell on Wu Bin, he relaxed completely.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the time-limited task and receiving the dazzling reward—Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere]
Wu Bin: ???
Staring at the reward the system had given, Wu Bin was completely baffled.
A dazzling reward? Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere?
I spent five days power walking until my feet nearly fell off, and you give me just a dazzling reward?
Is that polite?
Seeing Wu Bin standing on the steps with his eyes closed, a group of staff members couldn't help but express their thoughts.
"Finally, he's climbed the last mountain. If he had stormed on for another hour, I would have ended up in the hospital."
"This guy must be somewhat crazy; should we send him back for a psychiatric evaluation?"
"That makes sense! How did I never consider that he might be mentally ill?"
Dressed in purple sportswear, He Bingbing walked up to Wu Bin's side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and took a deep breath.
It's hard not to say, at that moment, the two of them together really looked like a couple.
Wu Bin was handsome, with a frail body and a pale face, embodying a kind of sickly noble charm.
And He Bingbing was beautiful, with a great figure.
Her purple jacket paired with gray straight-leg sports pants made the ponytailed He Bingbing look even more youthful and attractive.
The photographer, Yu Peng, knew how to capture the moment.
Hoisting the camera, he moved in front of them and crouched down, shifting slowly, treating it as seriously as filming a movie.
In that moment, He Bingbing also spoke up, "Wu Bin, you climbed the Five Great Mountains in five days. Do you have anything you want to say to the audience?"
Wu Bin opened his eyes, looked at He Bingbing, and said, "I still say the same thing; neither disease nor adversity can defeat our strong will."
"I stand here today to prove a statement to everyone!"
"Mountains may be high, but the human spirit reaches higher!"
As Wu Bin spoke those words, he spread his arms as if embracing the future, but actually, he pushed He Bingbing slightly away so she wouldn't block the camera.
Ding.
[Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere dazzling effect activated]
Following the system's beep, the sun began to rise on the horizon.
The first rays of the morning sun first touched the palace's plaque and then fell on Wu Bin.
In that moment, Buddha's Light shines everywhere!
Wu Bin was coated in a layer of gold by the sunlight, and even a halo appeared behind his head!
The viewers in the live stream went wild.
"Holy moly, has my brother Wu become a saint?"
"I knew my brother Wu wasn't ordinary, awesome!"
"Honey, come look at God!"
"At this moment, Wu Bin reminds me of a modern poem which I'd like to share: Ah! The first light of the dawn, those reflecting evening vibes!"
Wu Bin wasn't watching the live stream; he had no idea what he looked like in the viewers' eyes.
But as a series of system notifications sounded, Wu Bin felt that he must be extremely cool right now!
Ding.
[From Yang Kang's astonishment, prestige points +50]
[From He Bingbing's admiration, prestige points +100]
[From Yu Peng's shock, prestige points +100]
[From Li Guotai's shock, prestige points +100]
[Current prestige points: 3024980, invincible time: 35 days]
Very good.
The dazzling effects are supposed to be used like this.
I am truly a genius!
Wu Bin had been wondering why the system gave him something as flashy and immaterial as Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere.
Looking at it now, they gave you the special effects to earn prestige points by putting on a show.
After all, he has the Scorn of Death skill.
The higher his prestige points, the longer will be his invincible time.
Indeed, there are no useless skills, only useless hosts.
System, I misjudged you!
With this thought, a tear slid down Wu Bin's cheek.
I could be invincible for thirty-five days now.
What kind of trash is a massive hemorrhage, so you think you can beat me in a second?
The naturally emotional He Bingbing once again covered her mouth, moved to tears.
"Wu Bin, you are so strong!"
With a sobbing voice, He Bingbing passed him a tissue.
Wu Bin smiled and said, "Thank you."
At this moment, he was the epitome of gentility, like a celestial being!
All the viewers watching the live stream felt as if their souls had been cleansed!
Those who were battling illnesses formed the Wu Bin support group, declaring war on their sicknesses!
If Wu Bin could face life with a smile after experiencing so much illness, why couldn't they?
Just do it and that's that!
After descending the steps, He Bingbing asked by his side,
"Wu Bin, you still have ten days of vacation left, any plans for what's next?"
Wu Bin said with a smile, "Let's have a meal first. It has been tough on everyone these past few days, so I've decided to treat everyone to a meal out of my own pocket."
Once Wu Bin said this, the staff cheered and jumped with joy.
Finally, this guy has developed a conscience!
Director Gao Shan asked from one side, "Wu Bin, can we take the cable car down the mountain then?"
Wu Bin's smile was brilliant.
"Of course, we can."
He didn't want to walk anymore either!
So, the group began their grand descend down the mountain.
The men all sat together boasting about their vigorous strength, claiming that even if they had to trek the Five Great Mountains again, they'd have no problem.
The women, however, had already taken out their phones to look up local delicacies and prepare for group buying discounts.
It was one in the afternoon.
Under He Bingbing's lead, the group stopped in front of a gourmet street.
"With so many delicious options, which one should we choose?"
He Bingbing looked to Wu Bin to seek his opinion.
Wu Bin generously said, "You all pick; I'm fine with anything."
Gao Shan suggested, "How about we go for hotpot? It's lively, and I have some coupons for a hotpot restaurant."
Everyone agreed with Gao Shan's suggestion, and the group headed to the hotpot restaurant to start ordering.
Seeing Wu Bin and their large group, not to mention the cameras in their hands, the restaurant owner became nervous.
The restaurant owner went over warmly and asked, "Hello, are you here to do a review?"
He Bingbing explained, "We're just here to eat hotpot, though we are doing a live broadcast of our daily life."
Well, isn't that essentially a review then!
The owner smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome, but with so many of you carrying cameras, it's not very convenient inside—how about sitting outside instead?"
Wu Bin nodded his agreement.
"That's fine, we'll sit outside then."
The group noisily settled themselves at three tables.
Since Wu Bin was footing the bill, everyone ordered without any reservations, ready to vent all of their accumulated grievances from the past few days of intense trekking; they went wild with their orders!
Even Gao Shan, who had always been dieting, started off by ordering three plates of grassland beef.
"Wu Bin, what would you like to eat?"
Wu Bin casually said, "Start with ten plates of duck blood for me."
He Bingbing: ??
"Do you... like duck blood that much?"
"Maybe start with two plates, and we can add more if it's not enough."
Wu Bin shook his head and said seriously, "Let's start with ten plates. That way, I feel more secure."
Though He Bingbing was puzzled, she didn't say much and passed the menu directly to the owner.
