Chapter 496: Chapter 301: Showing Off, Stunning the Whole Audience [Part 3]
When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with anger.
Luna Durant never imagined that the first task point she stumbled into would be—
Nora Scott’s Plum Blossom Fist!
Yesterday’s humiliation was still vivid in her mind.
"First came Wudang, then came the heavens,
I’m even ahead of Wudang.
Creating the world, managing the universe,
Left with forests and mountains."
Nora Scott melodiously recited the rhyme, sauntered to the side, stretched out her leg, hooked a chair with her toe, and pulled it over as she retracted her leg.
She turned around to face Luna Durant, patted her clothes, and then sat down.
"This is Kunlunel Plum Blossom Fist. Follow me, and you can’t go wrong."
Nora looked at Luna with a half-smile, "Miss, do you want to be my disciple?"
"..."
Be your damn disciple!
Luna Durant fumed inside, but couldn’t show it, so she gritted her teeth and glared at Nora with a grimace.
She asked, "What’s the requirement?"
The camera was constantly filming, and seeing Nora walking away would make her seem too cowardly.
Besides, completing the game smoothly, gaining the upper hand, and then rejecting Nora—
That would be satisfying!
"Williams,"
Nora called another NPC.
Williams immediately ran out, "Here."
Nora lazily glanced at the Mei Hua Pile in the backyard, "Go through it."
"Yes!"
Williams responded.
The morning game was a group segment.
Four schools, four teams. Eight guests, two per team.
The game’s requirement wasn’t difficult: perform designated moves on the Mei Hua Pile, follow a complete set of procedures, and when the NPC master nods, move to the next step.
There are three special spots in between, with cards hidden in the stakes, requiring specific moves to obtain them, which is somewhat challenging.
The guest challengers must collect these three cards.
Successfully collecting the cards completes the challenge. Miss one, and you must start over.
— What wasn’t told to the guests was that completing this set and collecting three cards didn’t guarantee success. The hidden pitfall is that as guests perform designated actions, they need to observe subtle hints in the environment, memorize them, and correctly answer questions from the NPC master to pass.
This is a standard practice on the show ’Searching for the City’s Secret’.
The game’s process is never spelled out explicitly; there are always countless traps waiting for you.
This added requirement, euphemistically called: honing observational skills.
Williams jumped onto the Mei Hua Pile, completed the entire set with fluid, swift moves, light as a swallow, moving like flying on the piles, each move executed beautifully and powerfully.
He didn’t disgrace his master.
"Hmph."
After watching everything, Luna Durant snorted, glancing disdainfully at Nora.
Nora smiled slightly, suddenly asked, "I heard you were once a disciple of Yong Chun Boxing?"
The ones yesterday, indeed, practiced Yong Chun Boxing.
Easy to guess.
And, with Nora’s question, Luna couldn’t help recalling yesterday evening’s humiliating experience, her anger practically making her chest hurt, her expression growing darker.
Yet she couldn’t explode.
Suppressing her anger, Luna said coldly, "Yes."
"Add a bit of difficulty?"
Nora tilted her head and asked.
Then, she opened her palm, and suddenly a few stones appeared, and as she tossed them up, they were thrown one after another and fell back in.
Recalling the move set in her mind, Luna felt confident, not taking it seriously.
"As you wish—"
Before finishing her words.
Because she saw Nora shake her hand, the stones flew out unexpectedly, landing right on a card on the Mei Hua Pile.
With the impact, the card fell.
Luna Durant: "..."
Williams and other NPCs: "..."
Deputy Director Coin and all the staff: "..."
Flying Dagger?
Heroine Scott, did you time travel here?
Everyone who witnessed this was wide-eyed.
"Oh my god—"
A young girl on the outskirts was so excited, her face flushed, and her eyes gleamed.
"Damn, why didn’t anyone say she was this incredible?"
"Unbelievable, she’s really like she walked out of a martial arts novel, right?"
"I can’t stand it, my legs are weak, I want to kneel before her."
"The internet was right, the rumor ’God Z can do anything’ is actually true."
...
The staff were in an uproar.
"Deputy Director Coin..."
An assistant quietly reminded, "This wasn’t in the script."
Pulling his wide eyes back, Deputy Director Coin calmed down, glared at the assistant, "Could the script write such an amazing move, only found in martial arts novels?"
"..."
The assistant shrank back.
"Shoot it! Just shoot it like this!"
Deputy Director Coin suppressed his excitement, rubbing his hands together.
Had a premonition!
This episode is bound to go viral because Nora Scott refuses to play by the rules!
In fact, no matter where Nora shows this move, it will go viral.
In everyone’s mind, this kind of technique only exists in martial arts worlds, yet now, it’s presented right before your eyes in reality—
Isn’t that explosive enough?!
The reaction of the entire crowd represents the reaction of the audience!
To get Nora to show this hand, even if Luna Durant didn’t want to agree, the show would have forced Luna to agree.
"Are you in?"
Nora Scott raised her chin slightly, giving Luna Durant a provocative smile.
In her eyes, three parts lazy, three parts casual, confident and wild, like a reclusive master at ease.
"I’m in!"
Coming back to her senses, Luna Durant took a deep breath and accepted Nora Scott’s challenge.
It’s not a direct fight!
Afraid of her?!
"Please."
Nora Scott raised her arm and lightly pointed towards the Mei Hua Pile with a laugh.
Giving Nora a cold look, Luna Durant didn’t hesitate, stepped towards the Mei Hua Pile, and with a leap, quietly jumped onto it.
—Today’s Mei Hua Pile was halved in height to prevent inexperienced guests from getting injured if they fell.
Standing on the Mei Hua Pile, Luna Durant turned her head back arrogantly, a hint of provocation in her eyes.
Luna Durant’s character was always like this, temperamental, proud, and unruly, often clashing with others while filming.
However, that’s also part of the appeal.
Someone who loves and hates openly, exposes their temper, isn’t common in the circle, but Luna Durant, who is beautiful and has a temper, walks a sassy straightforward path free of pretenses. Although she has some detractors, she surprisingly garners a lot of admirers.
The production team is used to it.
Nora’s voice was lazy, "Start."
Luna Durant began to move.
Indeed, having martial arts skills, each step was steady, and the moves she displayed were all formulaic, commonly used in martial arts, mastering them after one look was not a problem.
Her movements, though not as skilled as Williams, were dazzling enough for a guest.
Smoothly demonstrating up to a third, Luna Durant stepped onto two wooden stakes with each foot, then bent backward, with her arm quickly reaching for the first card.
At the same time, Nora Scott lazily lifted her eyelids, her expression somewhat drowsy, casually flicked her hand—
As Luna Durant’s finger touched the first card, a pebble flew straight and true, knocking the card away.
Just like that, she missed the card.
Luna Durant suddenly rose upright, standing straight, glaring at Nora Scott with indignation.
"Keep challenging, redo." Nora Scott looked half-awake, her voice somewhat lacking energy, "Don’t want to challenge anymore? You can give up."
"I’m in! You better hit every single one!"
The lust for victory was successfully stirred, Luna Durant pointed at Nora Scott, spoke harsh words, and then leaped off the Mei Hua Pile.
Indeed, without Nora Scott, Luna Durant’s performance would definitely be the standout.
But now, everyone’s attention was on Nora Scott, observing her every move, eagerly anticipating each flick of her wrist.
Once, once, and again...
Each time, as Luna Durant just touched the card, Nora Scott would act, accurately and unfailingly knocking down the card.
Just like the saying—
Every shot a hit.
The precision left people dumbfounded.
After about ten or so times, Luna Durant jumped off the Mei Hua Pile again, slightly panting, clearly showing signs of fatigue.
The sky, originally as black as ink, had already turned ashen gray, and the lights used by the production team for illumination weren’t much help anymore.
Two guests arrived in the meantime.
After arriving, they refused to leave, dragging small stools to sit beside, watching the scene with great interest.
"Should we remind Nora to hold back?"
Someone leaned over to Deputy Director Coin, whispering.
Deputy Director Coin hesitated slightly.
With the current trend, if Nora Scott didn’t hold back, Luna Durant would never get her hands on the first card.
The game would just be stuck here, unable to proceed.
"Nora!"
Before Deputy Director Coin could make a decision, a clear, clean voice diverted many people’s attention.
Clement Winter appeared energetically, grinning in everyone’s sight, scanning around until he spotted Nora Scott, happily bouncing over.
Seeing this, the two guests nearby started chatting—
"How did Winter become so sociable?"
"Plum Blossom Fist’s master, every child’s idol!"
"Oh oh, the one who draws comics?"
"That’s her."
"Isn’t she a comic artist who should be cooped up at home? How does she have such martial skills?"
...
These two guests were somewhat older, one in their thirties, the other in their forties, funny and humorous, and being regular MCs, they weren’t in a hurry to complete tasks and started chit-chatting away.
...
Clement Winter smiled brightly as he approached Nora Scott, crouching beside her chair, blinking and asking, "What are the rules?"
Giving him a sidelong look, Nora picked up her NPC role, starting to recite lines, "First there was Wudang, then came Tian,
I’m even ahead of Wudang.
Creating heaven and earth to govern the world—"
At this point, multitasking, her hand flicked, and yet another pebble flew out.
Once again, knocking away the card Luna Durant was about to get.
"Damn!"
Unable to hold back, Luna Durant’s fiery temper flared, finally cursing out loud.
