Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 Life is like a drama

"Hahahahaha ..." Robin laughed again at Mallory's question, only this time with a slightly embarrassed laugh.

Mallory didn't squeal and waited for him to finish laughing.

"I got off the helicopter and was checking my points on the terminal when a mission to catch newcomers popped up in the screen. Of course, it was also a mission to help the newcomer get points, and I claimed the mission in passing." Robin explained to Mallory.

"I've been tricked before when I was on the island, and this time it's my turn to trick the newcomers."

"The mission told me where you arrived and told me how to operate in the wax museum, like having some of the wax figures move over to block the door, or having all the wax figures look at someone in the room together, or something like that."

"If I managed to catch the newcomer and scare the newcomer into peeing their pants, I would get 5 bonus points."

"If you don't scare the newcomer into peeing, but you enrage the newcomer and cause yourself to get a fat beating, you also get 5 bonus points."

"Also, telling the newcomer the rules of the shoot and bringing them to the set successfully is rewarded with another 5 points."

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if I scare the piss out of you, or if I piss you off and beat me up fat, I get 5 bonus points. Then I answer the questions you ask, take you to the set, and get another 5 points."

"It was so easy to earn those 10 points, so I looked happy at the time." Robin explained in detail why he was happy even though he was beaten up.

"I think it's because you're a person with a natural masochistic tendency." Mallory gave Robin a contemptuous glare.

"Brother still hasn't answered my question, how did you just find me out from all those wax figures?" Robin changed the subject.

"All the other wax figures in the room are physically immobile, moving or turning silently as a whole, only you walk on two feet, how could I not see that?" Mallory answered Robin.

"But I was clearly behind you and only moved quietly when you were fully concentrated on the painting, I didn't notice you looking back over ah ..." Robin was still a bit puzzled.

"Those framed paintings have a smooth metal frame like a mirror, you think I was just looking at the paintings there? I was checking out the movement behind me." Mallory revealed the answer.

"So that's it! Brother is really high!" Robin gave Mallory a thumbs up.

Mallory had a disbelieving look on his face ... In this case, idiots don't pay attention to the movement behind them.

"I guess your name isn't Donner, is it?" Robin looked at Mallory and hemmed and hawed.

"My name is Mallory," Mallory said, giving his real name.

"Mallory Brother good, I came here a few days before you, also can not talk about how much experience, we two brothers meet is not a fight, one more friend more a way, in the future on the set we each care about their own lives, can reach out to help each other a hand." Robin stood still and extended his hand to Mallory.

Mallory reached out and shook his hand, forgiving him for his earlier teasing behavior.

"By the way, today's scene starts at twelve o'clock noon and is called 'The Road to Nowhere', and we, as a group, are only participating in one of the small scenes. After playing this small scene as long as the character played did not hang up, you will be rewarded with 10 points. As for the specific plot, the specific role that was assigned to ... no one knows before participating in the show." Robin also formally introduced Mallory to this scene today.

"Desperate road rage? Like a drag race scene, not quite in the same style as those posters I saw in the wax museum?" Mallory questioned.

"Mallory Brother is really careful, he can see this. There are many wax museums on this island that focus on actors who died in other types of horror, science fiction, action and other types of movies. If we do "Road Rash", we won't be in the disaster movie pavilion, we'll be in the action or racing movie pavilion." Robin replied to Mallory.

"The film we're making today, do the characters have a high chance of getting a box office?" Mallory asked a key question.

"Not high, there are newcomers to join the well, the difficulty is usually very low, among the eight actors, under normal circumstances will only hang one or two, unless they make a death or stupid death in the appearance, then there is no way." Robin shook her head.

"If I survive today's set, can I also grab the task of catching newcomers for points later?" Mallory thought of another question.

"Yes."

"How do I grab it? Is there a secret?"

"Oh, there is no secret, just after getting off the helicopter and coming to the film city, rush to the street to find a terminal, any one of them will do. After inserting the card to enter, if there is a yellow question mark on the edge of the screen, it means that there are additional tasks to take. This ... seems to be all about luck. Just now it was when you came over, I happened to open the terminal and received this task."

"So that's how it is."

"Well, we're on the set!"

Two people talking, but came to the center of the street near a cafe.

Mallory had carefully observed to both sides when he came all the way over, and there were signs in many places along the road indicating the location of the film set. Next time, even if no one leads the way, he can follow the signs to the set itself.

Outside the cafe where the film set is located, there is a large round table, and there are several people sitting on the high stools next to the table.

This time they were all living people who could move, some of them were talking animatedly, some had a look of trepidation, and others looked a bit disheveled.

Against the inside of the two seats sat a man and a woman, wearing large sunglasses, the woman also wore a large brimmed hat, both of them are a very fashionable clothes, giving a sense of show business big shot.

And those who looked terrified, bewildered, or disheveled, most of them were newcomers like Mallory.

Everyone has a cup of hot coffee on the table in front of them.

The two empty seats on the street were not occupied, so Robin took Mallory over and sat down.

The time also reached 11:59, only one minute left before the start of the shooting.

Mallory quickly counted, and he saw the same on the poster, here, including him, a total of eight people sitting around the round table, it seems to be the entire cast of this scene today.

Life is like a play, Mallory never thought that he would one day become an actor.

"Coffee doesn't consume points, right?" Mallory whispered to Robin beside him and asked.

"No."

"Can I get a refill?"

"Yes." Robin pointed to the coffee machine on the wall.

Mallory heard that it did not consume points and could be refilled, so he hastily picked up the coffee in front of him.

It was a waste not to drink it.

Unfortunately, it was too hot to drink it quickly.

Mallory could only blow hard on the coffee, and looked around a bit.

Next to the cafe is a wide street, and in front of the cafe is a sidewalk.

No one was walking along the street, and there was no vehicular traffic in the middle of the street.

Dozens of drones with gimbaled cameras hovered in mid-air around the crowd, filming all of the scene from every angle.

"Hello everyone, I'm the scene director for this scene of Desperate Measures, and I'd like to give you a brief introduction to the performance you're about to perform." A female voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Mallory's ongoing observation.
