Catina covered her mouth, making a “wu wu” sound, and ran back to her seat somewhat embarrassedly.
By the time she finally managed to swallow the milk in her mouth with difficulty, the waitress who had served them earlier had hurried over after hearing the news.
She first looked at Catina with some surprise, noting the traces around her mouth and on her clothing, and then turned her astonished gaze to the now empty ice cream bowl on the table.
The challenge had been going on in the restaurant for a month, with at least a hundred people attempting it, but today was the first day someone had actually succeeded.
The waitress stared at Li Ang’s mouth, curious about just how scorching it must be inside.
“Hasn’t the result been confirmed yet?”
Li Ang called out to the daydreaming waitress with the big blond curly hair.
“Oh, yes, the ice cream is on the house for you, and here is the reward, a bunny doll.”
The waitress quickly came to her senses and handed the bunny doll to Catina.
The super, super, super-large ice cream had disrupted their dining rhythm, but they still had to eat.
Li Ang ordered two Tomahawk steaks, a plate of spaghetti, and an appetizer platter.
Essentially, he had ordered the most expensive items in the restaurant, but altogether, the total still hadn’t exceeded two hundred bucks.
Catina was still saving him too much money.
Even so, Catina cautiously asked,
“Is it a bit wasteful to order so much? Actually, just treating me to one ice cream would have been fine.”
After saying this, she stealthily glanced at the adjacent table to make sure no one had seen her before she relaxed.
“You just enjoy your meal; I’ve got us covered if we can’t finish it all.”
Li Ang hadn’t heard such words in a long time.
After they finished off all the food on the table, Catina, gripping her phone, took small steps and sat down beside Li Ang.
Outside the window, a patrolling police officer seemed a bit tense.
Li Ang looked at the numbers on the phone, his eyes widening slightly.
Total Earnings: 18,254.
Damn, becoming an internet celebrity really does rake in the cash! No wonder every Tom, Dick, and Harry is getting into this.
At least now I’m half an internet celebrity as well.
“I have a suggestion; we could ride this popularity wave and shoot another video tomorrow? I’ve found a place with great scenery in the past few days, and combined with your martial arts performance, the atmosphere would be perfect.”
Catina was quite knowledgeable about this, and she had also been learning related skills during this period, including scouting locations, composing shots, editing, writing scripts, etc.
Although all these tasks were actually more exhausting than her part-time job, it felt completely different.
Not to mention the high ceiling and endless possibilities in this field, just the thought of earning money on a 10% commission was enough to fuel her entrepreneurial drive.
“No problem, I’m free anytime.”
Of course, Li Ang agreed right away now that he had seen the ad revenue from the video; he felt relying solely on prize money made everything too slow.
When the two left the restaurant, the sky had completely darkened.
Although the location was downtown, the area wasn’t bustling. It wasn’t crowded during the day, let alone at night.
Catina seemed a bit scared and kept clutching at the corner of Li Ang’s clothing.
“Maybe I should call my brother and ask him to pick us up? I don’t know where he’s patrolling today.”
Li Ang nodded. This wasn’t China, and he didn’t dare to take any chances.
What good is a phone for self-defense? Out here, it’s all about semi-autos.
Maybe when the day comes that such small-caliber weapons can no longer harm him, he might feel a little more confident.
Catina dialed the number, and the ring of a phone came from behind a car nearby.
Both people looked back at the car at the same time, their six eyes met, and the bright light from the phone illuminated Tyler’s awkward smile.
“What a coincidence, I just happen to be patrolling around here. Are you guys eating out here?”
“Is your jurisdiction this large? I thought you only patrolled our town, must be tough.”
Li Ang asked somewhat surprised.
Tyler scratched his head and answered:
“Not really, it’s just that today a buddy of mine had something to do, so I’m covering his patrol here.”
“That’s great, bro, can you give us a ride back then?”
Li Ang nudged Catina’s arm, “We should still take a cab. Your brother is on patrol here; he can’t just leave whenever he wants.”
“It’s fine, I can do it. I’ll send a message to my friend to come back and cover for a while.”
Tyler blurted out, afraid the two would not head straight home and continue to hang around.
When it comes to safety, being in a car is several notches safer than walking, not to mention that they were sitting in a police car now.
…
The next afternoon, Li Ang arrived at the place Catina had found as promised.
The weather wasn’t too good today; it was sweltering, and the sky was somewhat overcast.
It seemed like a strong wind might start up, like the eve of a torrential downpour.
The place Catina chose was by a small river, not too far from the park where Li Ang had trained before.
This area’s feature was that the vegetation by the river was particularly lush, and there was also a field of flowers.
Li Ang had specially changed into a set of white Chinese-style training clothes today. The big wind bent the grass low, and with the effect of his clothes, it indeed had a bit of that wuxia vibe.

“Pretty good, your look today is even better than I had imagined,” Catina said, giving Li Ang a thumbs up while taking pictures.
Today’s script was also very simple; it was just about having Li Ang perform a few sets of martial arts forms here.
“If you’re ready, then I’ll start filming,” Catina reminded.
On Catina’s cue, Li Ang also struck a pose and began to perform the moves of Tongbei Quan.
Because this was a plain with no nearby obstructions, when the wind started up, the effect was very dramatic, even feeling like a typhoon day.
Li Ang’s clothes billowed in the wind, every movement making a whistling sound, and the sky was filled with dancing leaves and plastic bags, looking like an actual movie set.
“Very good, that’s excellent. Could you redo that last move? A plastic bag blocked the shot.”
But even without any mistakes from Li Ang, finishing the video shoot in one go was very unlikely.
“Wow! Look behind you!”
Catina suddenly cried out in alarm, pointing behind Li Ang.
Li Ang also reflexively looked back and saw that several kilometers behind him, a tornado had appeared.
This phenomenon was quite rare in China, but in America, it was pretty much a common occurrence.
“Quick, use it as a backdrop, it will definitely look amazing.”
Catina raised her camera, intending to keep shooting.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
The small tornado from just a minute ago seemed to be getting bigger.
No, it wasn’t that the tornado was getting bigger; it was coming toward them.
“RUN!”
