"Are you being checked again?"
Song Qincheng smiled charmingly and said in an understanding tone, "You answer the phone. I'm going to look elsewhere!"
A strange feeling rose in Chen's heart. It was as if he was caught having an affair. It was a little bit awkward but very exciting at the same time.
"Hello, my wife? How did you find the time to call me? "Chen said happily.
"I'm warning you! Don't you dare call me that! I'm not your wife!
"If grandpa didn't ask me to make this call, do you think I would have the time to care about you?" Luo Puti said coldly.
"Grandpa? What's wrong with him? "Chen asked curiously.
"Didn't you ask grandpa to help you find out the whereabouts of some rare herbs?
"I just received news this morning that a thousand-year-old Dragon Ginseng will be auctioned on Paradise Island in five days!" said Luo Puti.
"Five days? Alright! That's great! My movie is almost done! I'm sure I'll have time to buy it! "Chen said excitedly.
"Why do you want to buy such an expensive herb?" Luo said in a deep voice, "Do you know? The starting price of that ginseng is three hundred million USD! It's almost two billion USD! "
"Damn! That's expensive! "
Chen was really surprised. He did not expect a thousand years old ginseng to be so expensive!
But, it was totally reasonable.
This kind of rare herb could only be found by luck. Every time it was sold on earth, there would be one less ginseng.
Those who could afford to buy such a rare resource must be extremely wealthy. Even if the price was a little higher, there would still be people willing to pay for it!
"So, you know that it's expensive?
"The starting price of that Dragon Ginseng is around two billion! According to Paradise Island's usual practice, the final price will be three times higher than that! If you don't have six billion USD, you don't even need to go there! "
"What the f * ck! Six billion! "Chen was stunned. Sweat started to drip down his forehead.
Initially, he thought that the 3.9 billion USD in his account was more than enough for him to spend. He did not expect that this amount of money would not even be able to compete with others when it comes to a rare resource!
Only five days left! How am I going to earn six billion USD?
Chen kept quiet.
"I don't think you have enough money, right? Listen to my advice, if it is not absolutely necessary, give up on buying Dragon Beard Ginseng. That kind of thing is not something people of our level can touch! "
Chen said seriously, "Do you still remember the pill that allowed you to break through your cultivation? It was called the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill, and the Dragon Beard Ginseng was an essential ingredient for refining that kind of pill! Once you miss it, you might regret it for the rest of your life! "
"This …" Luo was stunned.
Of course, she remembered the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill. She would never forget it for the rest of her life!
It was that miraculous elixir that allowed her to break through the bottleneck that most people couldn't break through in their entire lives!
"The value of Skybreaking Cultivation Pill cannot be measured with money!"
Luo Puti said in a deep voice, "If the ginseng is a necessary ingredient, then we must buy it back at all costs! You haven't broken through to the next realm. With that kind of pill, you can save yourself a lot of trouble in the future! "
Hearing this, Chen felt a warmth in his heart. One of the reasons why he liked Luo was that she had a warm and kind heart under her cold exterior.
Although she had successfully broken through to True Nirvana Cultivation, she was still worried about Chen who had not broken through yet.
It was rare to have a heart!
Luo said directly, "If you don't have enough money, I can think of a way …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Chen interrupted her and said, "You don't have to worry about money! I will think of a way myself! "
"Don't try to act tough. Where are you going to get so much money in such a short period of time? Are you going to rob a bank? "Luo said angrily.
"You don't have to worry about where I am going to get the money! I'm a man! No matter how useless I am, I will not ask my wife for money! "
Chen did not give Luo a chance to persuade him. He said directly, "I have to start the filming now! I will contact you later!"
After that, he hung up the phone.
"I don't believe that I, Chen, will be defeated by money!"
...
After some time, all the actors and actresses who were going to participate in the filming were in position.
Director Feng Yaolun looked at the audience. He was like a general who was going to go to war and was inspecting his army!
To him, the filming of this scene was like a war!
"Everyone!"
Feng Yaolun held the megaphone and said loudly, "Today's filming is the core of this movie! If it's done well, the whole movie will get a lot of points!
But if it's not done well, we will lose a lot of money! Most importantly, we will be wasting a lot of time!
If we miss the Lunar New Year, we will be breaking our promise to our fans! The title of the most anticipated movie of the year will become a slap to our faces! "
Now! It's time to test us! Are you guys ready?! "
Feng Yaolun shouted loudly, as if he was making an oath before the three armies went to war, causing everyone to be on high alert.
"Ready!"
The entire crew responded in unison, and their morale soared!
"Ready!"
Feng Yaolun took a deep breath and shouted, "Action!"
Following his order, Chen Xiaobei and Tang Mengwan, who were dressed in ancient clothes, ran out from their designated spots.
At the same time, a pair of villains' bodyguards surrounded them with swords in their hands.
They were just a bunch of extras. Chen Xiaobei and Tang Mengwan took them down in no time. They lied on the ground and pretended to be dead.
The two of them continued to move forward.
After a few scenes, they arrived at the entrance of the villains' hideout.
Suddenly, the second male lead, Zhang Zhongji, and a group of minions blocked Chen Xiaobei and Tang Mengwan's way.
"Why are you here?!" Tang Mengwan frowned. Her eyes and expression were filled with surprise.
"Hmph! Since the day you rejected me! You should have known that I will definitely take revenge on you! And that son of a bitch! "
Zhang Zhongji gritted his teeth. His expression was ferocious. He acted out the conflicting emotions of love turning into hatred.
Of course, the part that he acted out the most was his hatred towards Chen Xiaobei.
In the movie, his lover was snatched away by Chen Xiaobei.
Outside of the movie, he was slapped in the face by Chen Xiaobei. He could not even lift his head.
The hatred that he had for Chen Xiaobei in the movie made his performance look extremely realistic.
Facing Zhang Zhongji's anger, Chen Xiaobei smiled condescendingly. "Get lost if you don't want to die!"
"Good acting!" Feng Yaolun praised. "I want this kind of arrogant feeling! You don't even respect Zhang Zhongji! "
* Swoosh *
Suddenly, Zhang Zhongji took out a combat knife and channeled his True Qi.
