“Nobody wants to stay on top of stone pillars without food and water, exposed to rain, snow, hail, lightning, and even all sorts of inexplicable disasters.

“If you’re not careful, you can fall and die.

“So, our greatest wish to stay on top of the pillar is, of course, to lower the height of the pillar and get back to safety as soon as possible.

“Then, do we have to accumulate 1,000 points at once to convert and lower the height of the pillar?

“The answer is no, we don’t have to wait so long.

“In order to motivate us to use the points to reduce the height of the stone pillar as soon as possible, the conditions of the stone pillar at the different heights are not exactly the same.

“Every 100 meters can be counted as a node. With every 100 meters the stone pillar is lowered, our living environment can get a qualitative improvement.

“The first and most urgent need for newbies who are still at the top of the 1,000-meter pillar is enough water.

“When the height of the pillar drops to 900 meters, we get a water dispenser.

“At first, the water dispenser provides only 100ML of water per day.

“After that, for every 10 meters lowered, the water supply in the water dispenser increases by 100ML per day.

“I would like to remind you all here that it is very important for surviving at the top of the pillar to lower to a height of 900 meters, with an even higher priority than the promotion from extra to small guest extra.

“Otherwise, in case the interval between the two shootings is more than three days, and during those days there hasn’t been rain, snow, or hail in the nearby sky, and one doesn’t get hydration, perhaps we will die from thirst before getting back to the film studio.

“This way, when we are lowered to the height of 800 meters, we can get 1.1 liters of pure water supply per day, and it is boiled water. Besides, at 800 meters, there will be an additional, very critical supply—that is, the supply of a packet of cup noodles when we return to the stone pillar in between shootings.

“Afterward, with every 10 meters lowered, there will be an additional packet of cup noodles supply.

“Of course, the quality of the cup noodles will also get better and better, changing from the plain noodles at the start to noodles with seasonings later on.

“When lowered to 700 meters, we not only get the supply of three meals of cup noodles a day, we also get a serving of pickled vegetables at each meal.

“At this time, we have basically solved the problem of dying from hunger or thirst.

“After that, with every 10 meters lowered, there will be a side dish of our choice with our cup noodles every day, ranging from pickled vegetables to ham sausages, sauced eggs, etc.

“After lowering it to 600 meters, we get a flush toilet hanging by the stone pillar’s side.

“Although the flush toilet solves the problem of going to the toilet, we face a severe danger to our lives every time we sit on the toilet at the edge of the stone pillar. We can fall down from the toilet with any careless move.

“Therefore, with every 10 meters lowered afterward, there will be some changes to the toilet, such as suspended concrete panels for the feet to step on, increased area of the concrete panel, and an added flushing device.

“There will even be an additional hand-washing sink, with an additional 0.1 tons of tap water provided per day with every 10 meters lowered, for us to wash our face and hands.

“After lowering it to 500 meters, we will get a relatively well-equipped hanging washroom by the pillar, completely resolving the problem of using the toilet. At the same time, we’ll also get a basic water heater.

“Afterward, with every 10 meters lowered, we will gradually get a sufficient supply of toothbrushes, toothpaste, cups, washbasins, face towels, bath towels, shower gels, shampoos, etc.

“During this period, we will still be subjected to harsh conditions, such as rainstorms, hail, extreme heat, and extreme cold. We will desire pieces of equipment to shelter us. At 400 meters, we will get a full bathroom with a full set of toilet supplies inside. At the same time, we get a shelter set up at the top of the stone pillar, so we will no longer be exposed to sun and rain.

“Afterward, with every 10 meters lowered, simple windshields will be gradually added around the shelter.

“At 300 meters, our basic shelter will become a roof, and a platform will appear on top of the stone pillar, allowing us to own a small house of 6 square meters on top of the stone pillar.

“At this time, we are pretty much free from worrying about falling off. It’s pretty much the same as being in our own houses, just that we can’t go outside and the space is very small.

“After that, with every 10 meters lowered, the small house will be expanded by one square meter.

“At 200 meters, the 6-square-meter small house will become 16 square meters.

“And we will finally have a small area to move around beside our bed. At the same time, we also get a stool.

“After that, with every 10 meters lowered and as the small house continues to increase by 1 square meter, we will also get additional furniture, such as a desk that automatically produces a book every day, and a wardrobe that automatically produces new clothes, etc.

“At 100 meters, our small house will get a power socket. With electricity, we can use electrical appliances and no longer be fearful because of the night’s darkness.

“Afterward, with every 10 meters lowered, the small house will continue expanding, and we will get one additional electrical appliance, such as air conditioner, fridge, TV, wifi, toaster, oven, dishwasher, game console, etc.

“As to after lowering onto the ground… That’s beyond the answer to this question.”

After giving a detailed answer, the woman in the sunglasses looked toward the director.

“The answer is valid, 5 points awarded,” announced the director.

After listening to her detailed answer, the extras started discussing among themselves.

This strange film studio really did put in great effort to coerce them to earn points.

Still, one had to admit that these conditions were very tempting toward them, who were trapped on top of stone pillars, especially after experiencing extreme hunger and thirst.

One had to know that when they had been on top of stone pillars previously, even food and water had been unobtainable.

Now, they finally had a goal to hope for and fight for.

The big goal was to accumulate 1,000 points and return to the ground, while the small goal was to accumulate 100 points first, descend to 900 meters, and get a water dispenser.

“Alright, it’s your turn to ask questions.” The woman’s mood improved greatly after getting 5 points, so she gestured toward Gao Fei with her hand.

“It’s best to ask some questions of quality, like what she asked just now,” she added before Gao Fei spoke.

When answering one question, she would obtain 1 to 5 points. The total number of questions was fixed, so she hoped that everyone asked high-point questions.

“Then I’ll ask what happens after we are lowered to the ground. Do we get to go home? And return to our original lives?” Gao Fei looked toward the woman in the sunglasses; his face was full of expectations.
