Chapter 6, Night Combat

Yuan Wangchang exhaled, lying motionless on the carpet. It had been a long time since he encountered a true expert, and his skills had somewhat deteriorated. During his time at the police academy, Yuan often sparred with several skilled students and instructors. This was the first time he had met a genuine expert since entering society. Yuan could find an excuse for not defeating his opponent: he could not see, while the other party had night vision goggles, so he should be stronger than the other party.

The mysterious person is indeed a master of combat, with limbs coiling around Yuan Wang like an octopus. Yuan Wang is pinned beneath, attempting to pull his left hand, but the mysterious person grips his left hand tightly, exerting force on Yuan Wang's wrist. Yuan Wang tries to push off the ground with his left foot to roll over, but the mysterious person's leg wraps around Yuan Wang's leg like a water snake.

The mysterious person gently took out a coin and tossed it. The moment the coin landed on the carpet, Yuan Wang lunged for it. This time, the mysterious person saw clearly that Yuan Wang, like a mantis, lowered his body, using all four limbs to crawl and pounce on the coin. The entire process took only the blink of an eye

Yuan Wang: "Hmm"

In thirty seconds, Yuan Wang withdrew his hand, while the mysterious person locked his hand. Yuan Wang withdrew his leg, and the mysterious person entangled his leg. The scene was quite unseemly, but this is combat; anyone who dares to relax will fall. Yuan Wang knew that his resistance would be suppressed by the opponent, but if he did not resist, the opponent would attack him with positional advantage. The mysterious person was also in a difficult position; if he could not secure the lock or entangle him, both sides would likely enter a state of close-quarters combat.

I withdraw my hand. The mysterious person slowly retracts their left hand with caution

Forget it! Yuan Wang got up to turn on the lights, turned on the air conditioning, and hung the shirt he was wearing inside on the air conditioning vent, so he could wear it tomorrow morning. As for a bit of sweat odor, he would be sweating again tomorrow anyway

The mysterious person had never seen such techniques, not Praying Mantis Kung Fu, not Diagonal Stance Boxing, not Hung Gar, not Mandarin Duck Legs, nor Jiu-Jitsu, nor Israeli Krav Maga, nor Jeet Kune Do, nor Taekwondo, nor Karate

Damn it! Even a runner is so ruthless. But wait, if he is a runner, he should be shouting for help. Could it be that he, like himself, is here to break in?

Liu Yun is a special guest added for this episode of the reality show by the jewelry company, which will be broadcast on Saturday. Mars Jewelry will begin a jewelry auction exhibition in Newtown starting Sunday. A highlight of the reality show features various celebrity guests guessing the reserve price

Mysterious person: "Mountains and rivers meet, farewell"

Yuan Wang retracted his hand in coordination, and both sides skillfully rolled away to the left and right

Close combat is the most challenging situation in fighting, whether in boxing or self-defense. When two competitors become entangled, the referee will immediately separate them, as being too close limits the space for exerting force and the angles for attack, making it difficult to inflict substantial damage.

The celebrities are eating, drinking, and chatting on one side. The staff places pieces of jewelry in front of them, and the celebrities guess the value of the jewelry. The final score determines the outcome between the celebrities. This is a rather ordinary segment of a reality show, and whether it is entertaining or dull depends on the on-site performance abilities of the celebrity guests and the quality of the directing and production teams

... ...

The mysterious person realized they were in deep trouble. They slowly moved towards the window, taking one step every five seconds, constantly observing Yuan Wang, who remained motionless in place.

It is not that I fear Yuan Wang; as a person of such status, how could I engage in a mutually destructive close combat with a mere errand runner

Yuan Wang began to ponder why the other party wanted to invade the warehouse. It contained only ordinary props and costumes, which were not worth much, but the more valuable items were on the ninth floor

The phone vibrated incessantly, the location of the mysterious person was completely exposed, and both sides entered a close-quarters combat state

Hello! No more fighting. The mysterious person finally spoke, but used a throaty voice, keeping their mouth closed and producing sound through their throat. This type of sound can be restored through modern technological means, but the human ear is still unable to accurately identify it

Hmm. What a joke. Five hundred yuan, after moving goods all day and working hard for a whole day, I still have to sleep on the carpet. Whoever wants to do it can go ahead.

The filming location is on the first floor of a certain shopping mall. This mall is very famous in Newtown, featuring nine floors that offer a complete range of dining, entertainment, and shopping options. Due to operational reasons, the price guessing segment begins at 10 PM after the mall closes. The first and second floors of the mall are brightly lit, making it difficult for the audience to discern whether the filming is taking place during the day or at night unless it is specifically indicated.

The performance is excellent, the filming is superb, and the editing is well done, all of which create very engaging scenes for the audience. Conversely, it can lead to moments of awkwardness.

What the audience sees is as follows. For instance, when Liu Yun enters the water, it is a significant undertaking. Before entering the water, specific cosmetics for water entry must be applied, and she must wear outfits that do not risk exposure. After emerging from the water, her hair must be restyled, her clothes changed, and makeup reapplied. The costume designer, hairstylist, and makeup artist must accompany Liu Yun throughout the filming of the reality show. The details of the script need to be communicated between the agent and the production team. The transportation of props required by the three specialists is naturally the responsibility of Yuan Wang.

Ah! Yuan Wang finally made a sound, it hurts a little

It does not matter; as soon as Yuan Wang thinks about the work he did today and the compensation, he no longer wants to contemplate further. What Yuan Wang is considering now is where he can take a shower to wash off his body covered in sweat

Yuan Wang took a bento box and leaned against a pillar on the second floor, observing the filming scene on the first floor. From the perspective of the staff, one can see many untold stories behind various variety shows. These stories are not mere behind-the-scenes anecdotes

Mysterious Person: "May I ask for your esteemed title?"

Kuyue Yuan Wang has begun another day of labor. He is both a driver and a porter. Of course, in principle, as a temporary employee of New Tang, he is also responsible for the maintenance of the props

The mysterious person reacted extremely quickly; upon hearing the sound of the phone, they immediately dodged. Yuan Wang's left hand touched the hem of his pants. With both hands providing support, he spun in place, his legs kicking out to the left like a windmill. Seeing no way to evade, the mysterious person kicked towards Yuan Wang's left leg, striking his left thigh, while Yuan Wang's right heel swung and hit the mysterious person's left foot.

Is filming a reality show a huge undertaking? Isn't it just about eating, drinking, and having fun?

The mysterious person slowly retreated to the door, opened it, exited outside, and closed the door

Yuan Wang placed the back of his left hand forward, resembling the tongue of a venomous snake, searching for a target in the darkness. He lowered his head to minimize potential damage, while his right hand was coiled and ready to deliver a fatal blow. His legs moved as if they were on a springboard, pressing against the carpet; whenever necessary, they could provide him with immense explosive power.

The following day, an impromptu event was added. Newtown Television invited Liu Yun to attend as a special guest on a reality outdoor show produced by the television station

At that moment, the sound of the vibrating phone carried by the mysterious person was heard. In that instant, Yuan Wang moved; he pushed off with his legs and, like the forelimbs of a cheetah, propelled himself towards the mysterious person on the carpet.

Hmm! The mysterious person grunted, no fractures, no fractures

However, Yuan Wang did not. Because Yuan Wang understood that the excitement caused by the surge of adrenaline had led him into a life-and-death state. The other party clearly did not want to engage in a mutually destructive confrontation.
