Chapter 50: So That's How Your Leg Broke
Modu TV Station, main conference room.
Watching the shaky image on the big screen, Zheng He's face darkened.
"According to reports from the front line, the seventh production team has already made four throw up and exhausted two."
"Now, only He Bingbing and the cameraman Wang He can keep up with Wu Bin."
"But Wang He's strength is almost gone too. We can clearly hear him panting heavily in the video, and it won't be long before he can't hold on any longer."
"Several female directors have also started crying and told me directly that they want to resign because they just can't keep running."
"I'm afraid if this continues, we'll have to forcibly stop our live broadcast, as no one can keep up with that guy."
"So, what should we do now? Feel free to speak up if you have any suggestions."
The management group looked at each other in the conference room.
"Is this kid not the kind of fragile freshman who could break a bone with a slight movement? When did his physical endurance become so good?"
Zheng He massaged his temples and said, "I've asked Dean Li about this, and according to the hospital's data, Wu Bin's heart capacity far exceeds that of an ordinary person. Although his lungs are a bit weak, overall, he is stronger than the average person."
"Fragile, but it doesn't mean his endurance is poor."
Another question arose.
"Then why doesn't he take the cable car? Why must he jog up the mountain?"
Zheng He sighed.
"Our people asked him about that too, and Wu Bin said something like, 'System tasks are just like this; you can only hike up the mountain within a limited time.'"
Executive: ...
Bullshit.
If anyone else claims that college students can't pull stunts, they'd be the first to disagree.
Look at how impressive this stunt is.
A simple jog up the mountain, and he's already exhausted both the production and medical teams.
You a bunch of normal people can't even keep up with a fragile freshman, just ask yourself if this is embarrassing or not, the show's impact is explosive!
"Since that's the case, we can only ask for support from the local station."
"Yeah, with such high-intensity follow-up work, relying on just one production team is definitely not enough. I suggest we set up at least four production teams to take turns following."
After discussing the plan, Zheng He immediately instructed his subordinates to implement it.
As Zheng He made several personal calls, the local station's production teams boarded vans with their equipment and headed for Mount Hua.
...
Meanwhile, on the mountain trail of Mount Hua.
Wu Bin could no longer run.
His heart was incredible, but his lung function was truly poor.
If only he had chosen to die of suffocation.
After being resuscitated from suffocation, he would have had iron lungs.
With iron lungs and an emperor's engine combo, he wouldn't even need to breathe whether he was jogging or sprinting straight to the capital.
"Miscalculated, it seems I'll have to consider the combo effect when choosing illnesses in the future, cough cough cough."
Unable to run any more, Wu Bin started to walk slowly.
The group following behind him was moved to tears.
This damn thing, finally exhausted, huh!
He Bingbing walked over with a bottle of mineral water.
"Wu Bin, would you like some water?"
Wu Bin took the mineral water and thanked her.
He looked down, and at that moment, He Bingbing had changed into sport shoes, obviously newly purchased.
"Nice shoes, quite pretty."
He Bingbing's cheeks turned red.
"Thanks to your reminder, I had a colleague buy me a pair of running shoes as soon as I got off the car."
"But Wu Bin, why are you running so fast? Is this part of your plan?"
A plan my ass!
"The system is messing with me!"
Of course, Wu Bin couldn't say this out loud since spilling his thoughts wouldn't help him anyway.
Wu Bin decided to just play along.
"This wasn't my plan, I just got the urge to do it all of a sudden."
"I wanted to show those who are bedridden with serious illnesses, or are suffering from them."
"Although illnesses are painful, they are not to be feared."
"As long as we are brave enough, even if we are plagued by numerous ailments, we can still charge forward, no worse than anyone else!"
He Bingbing was moved to tears by Wu Bin's words.
At that moment, Wu Bin appeared incredibly tall and mighty in her eyes!
The staff behind him was sweating bullets and cursing silently.
If you had this plan, couldn't you have told us earlier?
I'm still wearing high heels, dammit!
Though your words are motivational, don't you think it's shameful to bully a woman wearing high heels?
Just as He Bingbing was about to ask a few more questions, Wu Bin handed back her water and continued running forward.
Soon, Wu Bin's motivational words on Mount Hua's path went viral online!
Many patients with serious illnesses, upon learning about Wu Bin's experiences, were moved to tears and rekindled their hope for life.
At a hospital, a reporter was interviewing a young patient.
"Young man, I heard you were deeply touched by Wu Bin's motivational video. Could you share how you're feeling right now?"
The young boy excitedly patted his wheelchair and teared up.
"I am a middle school second-year student, and my dream is to become a racing driver."
"When the doctor told me my leg was broken, I thought I could never chase my dream again, until I saw Brother Wu Bin!"
"Brother Wu Bin, if you can hear me, thank you for your encouragement. I won't give up my dream, I will surely stand up again!"
Behind the boy, a group of patients in wheelchairs were equally excited.
The reporter was moved by the young boy.
With a choked voice, she asked, "Young man, may I ask how your leg was broken?"
The boy took the microphone, gathered his emotions, and then said:
"It was a sunny afternoon, my dad was riding his bike to take me to school, and as we were crossing an intersection..."
The boy choked up.
The female reporter, covering her mouth, struggled to hold back her sadness and asked, "Was there a traffic accident?"
The boy dabbed his tears with a tissue as he choked up and said:
"No, my foot got stuck in the wheel."
"My dad couldn't pedal and stood up, gritting his teeth, and then my leg..."
The boy covered his face with a tissue, sobbing uncontrollably.
Female reporter: ...
Alright, alright, this is how it's going to be, huh?
What was supposed to be a touching interview, and you're telling me your dad broke your leg?
Such fatherly love and filial piety!
Similar interviews were happening in hospitals across the country.
Some were heart-wrenching, some were antics, and some were brimming with positive energy.
However, Wu Bin no longer had time to watch these videos.
Because he had to climb the Five Great Mountains as quickly as possible.
Just as everyone got back on the train and Wu Bin was resting, lying down.
Hu Ping, the head of the medical team, noticed many bruises on Wu Bin's arms and legs.
This puzzled him.
When had Wu Bin gotten these injuries?
How had he not noticed?
