Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Better to die than to live

There is no doubt that Rick does not have a balance of more than 1000 points in his account, and he can only suffer the consequences of becoming a wax figure after his points become negative.

If no friends or relatives were willing to save him, he would have to be permanently sealed in the wax figure.

And spending 1000 points to save a loved one now seems to be a false proposition.

"By the way, how did the feud between you and him start?" Robin asked Mallory with some curiosity.

"He and I used to work in the same company, I just graduated from college, he was my interviewer at that time, and also the supervisor of my later department ..." Mallory roughly recounted the conflict between him and Rick to the crowd at that time.

"Forcing a college girl to work overtime! He deserved it! I've always thought there was something wrong with this man!" After listening to Mallory's story, the old woman expressed her support for Mallory.

"It is indeed deserved, this kind of person is so bad in character and has no professional ethics at all!" The white-collar woman also expressed her opinion.

"No matter where you work, you will always meet this kind of villain, with a little power in your hands, you have to use it to the extreme for your own personal benefit." Robin also lamented a few words.

"Although you say, the use of overnight work to dominate the female college students, ah, theft of company property, ah, these things do sound very angry. But why didn't you say that just now when he was still there? Now that he's a wax figure, and wax figures can't talk, what you say is what you say, so why should we believe your side of the story?" The man with the glasses questioned everything Mallory said.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I wasn't answering your question in the first place." Mallory lightly returned a few words to the man with glasses, he was not going to dwell too much with this kind of self-righteous barbarian.

"I believe in your character, and I believe everything you say." Robin patted Mallory's shoulder.

"I believe you too, that man just doesn't seem like a good guy." The female white collar opened her mouth.

"From my analysis, everything you said is true." The older woman also voiced her support for Mallory.

"I could tell right away that it was a bad guy, there's no mistaking it." The young girl also hurriedly interjected a few words.

"I'm not doubting him, it's just that there are many things in this world that are not seen to be true, and it's best not to jump to conclusions, or prove out that the truth reverses when the face will hurt." The man with glasses is still very unconvinced.

"You are a barbarian." Robin unceremoniously pointed out to the man with glasses.

"I still think you're brainless!" The man with the glasses was a little offended by Robin's comment.

"Go ahead, you're the fastest to die on set." Robin was also upset with the man with glasses.

"Even if I die quickly, I will live longer than those who only agree with others." The man with glasses continued to bar.

"Forget it, there is no point in arguing with a barbarian like you." Robin lost the battle.

"I heard that Brother Guo said, as long as they did not hang up, usually in the future will be in the same crew, then we will walk and see! Let's see if the person with independent analysis ability hangs first, or the person who only mindlessly attaches to others hangs first." The man with glasses continued to bargain relentlessly.

Robin didn't squeal anymore, while the others persuaded the man with glasses to say a few words.

Although the argument was started because of Mallory, Mallory himself did not have any interest in participating in this argument, but sipped his coffee while frowning and thinking about his own business.

For Mallory, it really doesn't matter what he just said, whether others believe it or not.

What he cares about is his own life and death.

Although he survived this shoot, it was still an unknown whether he would turn into a wax figure.

It is important to know that he now has negative 18 points in his account.

If this figure does not become positive before he leaves, he will not end up much better than Rick.

...

After the wax sealing ceremony of Rick was completed, the next step was the distribution of points.

The director, protected by bodyguards, announced the points earned by each person on the spot.

There are many terminals placed everywhere on the street, so you can use fingerprints, swipe your face and other ways to log in and check your points.

Robin, Mallory and every other group actor who survived got a base of 10 points.

The sunglasses woman is a small special level group actor, one level higher than the crowd, and her base points doubled compared to the crowd, getting a base of 20 points.

After getting the 10 points bonus, the points in Mallory's account became minus 8.

He, who had been drinking coffee, still looked worried.

Although at the top of the stone pillar, he many times because of desperation even want to jump off once and for all.

But now there is a hope of survival, he still does not want to let go.

For an ordinary person like him, a good death is definitely better than living.

At least there is still free coffee to drink alive.

Now we can only count on the lottery session later.

...

After the points were distributed, the next step was the questioning session.

High-level actors answer questions from lower-level actors.

The first question of each low level actor is free ... and not really free, the system pays points to the high level answerer.

But the second question of each low-level actor will require additional payment.

The sunglasses man turned into a wax figure, and only the sunglasses woman was present to answer the crowd's questions.

"Beauty, how can I get promoted to a small special?" The man with glasses grabbed a question to the woman with sunglasses.

After being promoted to a small special, the pay for participating in a performance doubles, this is very eye-catching to the lowest group of actors.

Mallory also hurriedly pricked up his ears.

"Deduct 100 points from your account, attend a promotion show and successfully survive, then you can be promoted from group act to small special." The sunglasses woman answered the glasses man.

"The answer is valid and a reward of 1 point is given." The director opened his mouth.

"To deduct 100 points first, huh? What's this cost ... promotion performance like? Is it difficult?" The man with glasses grabbed the second question again.

"The second question is a paid answer and will consume 2 points from you, are you sure you want to ask it next?" The director standing on the side reminded the man with glasses.

"No." The man with glasses waved his hand in a hurry.

Points were so precious that they couldn't be easily wasted for an ordinary question.

"It's my turn in order, right?" The female white collar was talking about the order of the seats.

The others didn't want to grab it, and everyone could ask a free question anyway.

"You ask." The sunglasses woman nodded to the female white collar, now is the happiest time for her, sunglasses man if not hang, this session she will need to take turns with the sunglasses man to answer the questions. Now there was no need, all the points rewarded for answering the questions were hers.

"Can we get food and water after we return to the top of the stone pillar? How can we get food and drinking water?" The white-collar woman deliberately asked a question she was most concerned about.

"Simple, just consume points to lower the height of the stone pillar. After the stone pillar is lowered to a certain height, there will be a supply of free drinking water and food." The sunglasses woman answered the female white collar.

Mallory couldn't help but be refreshed, what he was most worried about now was that there was no water and no food at the top of the stone pillar.

Listen to the meaning of the sunglasses woman, in the future on the stone pillar can also get free water and food?

"Can you be more specific?" The female white collar did not understand the sunglasses woman's answer very well.

The others also wanted to get a more specific answer.

"That would require a paid answer to do so." The sunglasses woman shook her head.

"This question is a newbie guide question, please provide a more detailed additional answer to this question, this question, if answered correctly, will be rewarded with up to 5 extra points." The director suddenly opened his mouth.

"Okay ... for 5 points, I'll give a super detailed version of the answer, and of course I heard it from a senior." After the sunglasses woman heard what the director said, the motivation to answer the question was obviously high.
