The world begins with Hong Kong TV series

Chapter 182: If Brother Chao doesn't take it, why should you take it? Do you still want to make progress? (7278)
Superman Charitable Foundation launch site.

Gao Chao is conducting the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the plaque.

Celebrities are bound to come to this kind of scene. After all, celebrities have a certain public influence and are more likely to stir up a splash. Long Wei, Fang Xiaoling, Du Juaner... a group of popular male and female celebrities from Hong Kong Island were pulled over to support the event and asked to donate money. If they don't donate, they are not their own people and should be careful of being beaten.

In short, these people did not dare to fail to give face to Gao Chao, and some even came to pay their respects in order to get close to him. Many stars came spontaneously, and there were even many directors and producers. For a time, the event was star-studded and full of stars.

Long Wei and other veterans who have been in the entertainment industry for many years are obviously familiar with such scenes and can handle them with ease.

This is Fang Xiaoling’s first time.

However, he looked composed, as if he was at home.

After all, it was organized by Brother Chao.

I slept in the same bed last night and my legs were shaking the whole time. Today, my whole body is sore.

Just looking at Fang Ting, who was hosting the charity event on the stage, with a pure and sexy face, watery eyes and a peach-like look, Fang Xiaoling's beautiful eyes were sparkling.

She knew that Fang Ting was an excellent female secretary. She had seen her at Superman Films, where she had signed a long-term contract and was almost selling herself.

Fang Xiaoling carefully observed the people on the stage who were a little nervous but able to remain calm, as if they had a strong inner support beside them. Fang Ting, who was smiling sweetly, and Gao Chao, who was standing not far away and had a gentle smile, had already keenly noticed something.

After all, this young girl is so pretty, and she’s also a secretary…

Fang Xiaoling felt a little complicated... but it was only for a moment. She was still able to understand her position and had already passed the stage of innocence.

Although she had to admit that Gao Chao, apart from being a bit rude, did have magical skills that could make people unable to stop and gradually sink into him... From being forced by reality in the beginning, to actively accepting and asking for it, and even enjoying it.

Gao Chao himself was not aware of Fang Xiaoling's complicated emotions.

Just minding my own business.

He actively pursued a grand occasion.

Who wouldn't make a few noises when doing charity in this era? Especially when it's done for a strong purpose.

Therefore, those who do charity in a low-key manner are truly great.

Unfortunately, in Gao Chao's previous life, the act of doing good deeds without leaving a name was becoming less and less common and was no longer regarded as a norm. Under the influence and poison of materialism, there were too many sophisticated egoists... like Gao Chao.

The main purpose of his charity work was to unlock the special talent he obtained from the middle range of [Heart of Mercy].

----------

【Gold Medal Doctor (I have a friend...)】

——Learn without a teacher and obtain mastery level 'modern medical skills'.

(Rescuing 100 critically ill patients/Studying medicine for two and a half years)
----------

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Amidst the lively applause.

Gao Chao cut the ribbon with a 'click' sound while holding a pair of stainless steel golden dragon and phoenix scissors with red handles.

He then began to accept various interviews.

They never stopped taking pictures, and even had a few video cameras to record the whole process.

"Mr. Gao, you donated all the 8 million prize money from the free-fighting competition to charity. What is your purpose... uh, your idea? As everyone knows, you are the boss of Liansheng!"

Some reporters rushed to ask questions.

The question is a bit sharp.

However, colleagues who are familiar with him know that he is a reporter for a newspaper with a community background.

It had long been tamed by Gao Chao and was treated like a dog under his lap.

It can be described as a meat trumpet that has been stamped with the seal of 'superb treasure'.

"Your question is very bold."

Gao Chao smiled and glanced at the reporter, then said slowly:

"First of all, you have to understand that the 8 million Hong Kong dollars prize money of the championship is subject to tax. I took out 8 million Hong Kong dollars for charity this time. In order to make up the 8 million, I had to make up a lot of money... Of course, because it was for charity, I also enjoyed certain tax benefits."

"As for the idea of ​​doing charity, it's because I can't bear to see the suffering in the world. It's said that people have to go through birth, aging, illness and death. From birth to death, people will experience aging and illness."

“Aging is inevitable. As for diseases, I want to help those seriously ill patients in Hong Kong Island who are in need!”

"Since I, Gao Chao, came to Hong Kong Island from a penniless person and built a career in Hong Kong Island in less than two years, I am naturally willing to give back to this land full of dreams and hopes and help those on this land..."

A set of superb short words.

With a high-sounding and sanctimonious look on his face, he was moved by what he said, and his expression gradually exuded a dignified and righteous aura.

And finally emphasized:

"In addition to the 8 million Hong Kong dollars prize money, I will also give out an additional 12 million Hong Kong dollars, making a total of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, to help the critically ill patients in Hong Kong Island!"

"Also, in addition to my 20 million, as you all have seen, I have also gathered a lot of like-minded actors and stars. They are all the mainstays of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. They are kind and have social responsibilities. They are all people who should be respected and protected... and they are all my friends!"

Gao Chao's last half sentence lifted the spirits of many people who came, especially those Hong Kong entertainment practitioners who came spontaneously, because this was what they were waiting for.

When I’m filming in the future and encounter gangsters coming to cause trouble on the set, or receive a bullet script, or am harassed by a gang leader, I will have a talisman with me.

At least we can wave the flag.

Many people are already thinking about how to get in touch with this Brother Chao and deepen their relationship with him at the upcoming charity party, when everyone is toasting and chatting happily.

A good brother should take care of his good younger brother.

What they didn't know was that fortunately Gao Chao only called them friends. If he had treated them as his loved ones, relatives, brothers, or siblings, they might have been in danger.

And the ribbon-cutting ceremony followed.

Jessica also brought a group of Hong Kong celebrities, especially a fundraising team composed mostly of foreigners, which made the scene even more lively.

In addition, the wife of the gambling god Gao Jin, Janet, also came to the scene and raised 10 million Hong Kong dollars in the name of Gao Jin to support charity. Gao Jin is still receiving treatment and hospitalization for observation, but his condition has improved significantly.

This made the atmosphere on the scene like a raging fire, with flowers blooming everywhere, and it set off waves of enthusiasm.

The amount of money raised by this charity foundation eventually reached an exaggerated 66 million Hong Kong dollars!
"...Brother Chao, are you really going to use all this money for charity?"

Tian Yangli, who had just joined Gao Chao, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

As for Tian Yangsheng and his other brothers and sisters, they did not come this time. After all, they all had wanted warrants and were "red names".

Only Tian Yangli is better. He has an ordinary face and was a low-key person in the past, so he has little sense of existence. However, he is the only one who can appear in public.

In the original drama of "The True Colors of a Man", Tian Yangli only appeared as a background character, and he and his two brothers died as soon as they appeared on the stage. He is truly a "no such person".

See Tian Yangli and ask.

Gao Chao squinted at him, obviously disturbed by the figure of 66 million. After all, the money was right in front of him.

At the same time, he also noticed that Luo Huiling and Fang Ting not far away both pricked up their ears.

Gao Chao said very seriously:
"Of course. When have I ever broken my promise? All 66 million must be used to support those critically ill patients. Anyone who dares to do anything tricky, even if they embezzle a dime, I will punish them severely and will never tolerate it!"

"No matter who the problem is, I will make him regret coming into this world!"

Excellent and righteous words.

It's also true.

In order to unlock his talent, he naturally would not spend a single cent of the money. All the money must be spent on the handle... oh no, on the blade!

If Brother Chao doesn’t take it, why should you take it?

Do you still want to make progress?!

It’s Tiangang, right?

Commissioner Geng would have opinions on this kind of thing.

"I understand, Brother Chao."

Facing Gao Chao's slightly sharp gaze, Tian Yangli hurriedly lowered his head with an attitude of admitting his mistake, realizing that his words had just overstepped the mark.

"Ali, if you want to get involved in this business, you must keep your word!"

Gao Chao also patted Tian Yangsheng's younger brother on the shoulder.

Just like he said that he wanted to surpass Fang Zhanbo's entire family, then he would definitely surpass his entire family, and he would have to control them wholeheartedly.

Fang Ting and Luo Huiling, who were eavesdropping, had their eyes sparkling with surprise. This unrelated mother and daughter, both beautiful and stunningly pretty, were naturally deeply attracted by the superb performance at this moment.

They have suffered a lot in the past ten years due to financial constraints. Naturally, they feel very empathetic and grateful for this true charitable act of generosity to help poor families.

In particular, Gao Chao activated several talents that increase charm today in order to maximize the effect.

【Timely Rain】, 【Attracting Bees and Butterflies】, and 【Ameis Missile】 are fully equipped.

This makes the superb style of the charity foundation stand out, even more eye-catching than many popular stars.

This also made the male director who had previously announced in the newspaper that he would adapt "Gao Chao's heroic experience in the Jundu Hotel incident" into a movie, in which Gao Chao himself played the role, light up.

With an eager expression on his face and a fat body, he couldn't help but go to Long Wei to ask him indirectly to see if there was a chance to really convince this super brother to star in the movie.

Except for the male director.

Not to mention the women present, their eyes never left Gao Chao, as if they were controlled by the 'charm' skill.

There is no way, the talent of increasing charm still has more special attacks against women.

This Gao Chao's words have a basis in his previous life, he didn't just come up with them casually.

At least the goddess of love, who had just arrived at the scene, curled her lips slightly and said to her partner, Gangya, beside her:
"66 million Hong Kong dollars for charity, do you think he is truly kind or is he just pretending to be kind?"

"...I only know that I will never be able to earn more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars in my lifetime. I still don't have any personal savings!"

Gangya said with a muffled hum.

"You eat more than a pig. One meal is equivalent to more than ten meals for others. And you have to send part of the money back home. Of course you have no savings!"

Empyrean glanced at her partner unhappily.

The steel industry chuckled:
"We are both cyborgs. My level of cyborg transformation is much higher than yours, so I must have a bigger appetite. Otherwise, how could I sustain the consumption?"

"You, stop making excuses. Doesn't the commander give you energy and nutrient supplements every month? You're just greedy!"

"Sigh... those energy and nutrient supplements taste like motor oil, so unpalatable. I suspect they are usually delivered directly by tanker trucks."

Gangya did not deny that Venus said he was greedy, and continued helplessly:

"Fortunately, our organization's technology is not yet mature, and my stomach and digestive system have not been modified. Otherwise, how could I eat delicious hot pot every day, sing songs while eating hot pot, and have an endlessly happy life."

At the end of the story, Gang Ya started to laugh, revealing a mouth full of "steel teeth", looking both silly and fierce.

"Of course the technology is not mature yet... So far, only a few of us have succeeded in the transformation." A trace of complexity flashed across the face of the goddess of beauty, and she sighed:

"The rest... Alas, the relevant technologies of the doctoral research have also been forcibly stopped and strictly prohibited. After all, the success rate is close to zero. To some extent, we are all lucky ones among ten thousand."

Immediately afterwards, she stopped discussing this issue with Gangya.

Instead, he looked at Gao Chao on the stage and said:
"...The Iron Leg Floating on Water has not been seen so far. Should we try the United Front skill first?"

Without waiting for Gangya to answer.

Emmy continued:
"The commander has sent me news that he has finally found out Gao Chao's background. He is indeed from our mainland, from Guangdong Province. His parents died when he was young. He has a cousin named Siyanming."

"Si Yanming returned to Guangdong Province these two days with a large sum of money, planning to set up a number of companies including property, logistics, and intermediary."

"The commander meant that we should take the initiative appropriately... If the united front here fails, we naturally cannot let his cousin expand his business in Guangdong Province."

When Venus said this, she was silent for a moment.

In fact, before she and Gangya arrived at the charity foundation, they had already met Comrade Shi, who was undercover in He Liansheng.

Comrade Shi is a core member of Helianshengxiangtang.

The position is not low.

Almost every time, he would be there to preside over the Helianshe association's initiation ceremony, inauguration ceremony... or the ceremony for the leader to take office.

It can be said that all the backbone and senior personnel of this society were promoted or changed under the nose of Comrade Shi...

Although he has been undercover, Shi's rank is not low. Ai Meishen has a hunch that after the other party's undercover mission is over, his position will definitely be very critical. This officer Shi also has a positive evaluation of Gao Chao.

It is believed that although Gao's methods are ruthless and tough, he also has a moral bottom line that other members of the society do not have. He is not a vicious and characterless person.

In addition, he is of great importance and has a good background, so he has a high value in united front work.

So they came today.

"Let's do some serious united front work! Find an opportunity to meet Gao Chao alone at the charity gala later! If it succeeds, it will also be our contribution!"

The goddess of beauty made the decision.

He was talking to himself the whole time, and although he was asking questions to Gangya, it was obvious that he only gave verbal respect, and his attitude was completely "dictatorial".

Gangya seemed to be used to this and didn't think anything was wrong. He touched the back of his head:
"We'll do whatever you say. I'm a little hungry and want to eat hotpot... Gao Chao is so rich, after uniting him, will you treat us to a meal?"

"etc?!"

"He seems to have noticed us!" At this time, Aimee's face changed slightly, and suddenly she found that Gao Chao on the stage glanced at the crowd.

For no reason, his attention was focused on her and Gangya again.

Although she and Gangya, one with a charming figure and the other tall and strong, are indeed very conspicuous in the crowd on normal days, they are both disguised at this time.

She wore frameless black glasses, and in order to make her tall figure less noticeable, she also wore flat shoes and dressed like a female reporter.

Gangya was dressed as an entourage, wearing a mask and a hat, and was inconspicuous in the crowd.

Shouldn't the other party discover it, or should he see through it at a glance?
The goddess of beauty was puzzled.

As a top elite agent, she has always had sharp perceptions. At this moment, she was very sure that Gao Chao, who slowly shifted his gaze away, had discovered the two of them in the crowd.

……

"I didn't expect this charity fundraiser would have an extra bonus... It's obviously aimed at me. Has my hometown finally noticed me?"

"Is the Shi surnamed unable to hold back? Or is it because Siyanming went to Guangdong Province to do business?"

Superb thoughts flow.

Amei and Gangya are both top fighters in the movie "From Beijing with Love".

Neither of them had any specific physical qualities detected by Gao Chao.

Because strictly speaking, both of them are cyborgs, and Steel Teeth has been modified more thoroughly.

For things like ghosts and other modified humans, Gao Chao is currently unable to detect their specific physical qualities.

I don't know if the system will be able to unlock this function later. It's impossible to ask Gao Chao to become a ghost or a cyborg, right? This is too rigid.

Considering the system’s performance so far, it has been strong enough that Gao Chao should not be disappointed any longer.

What surprised Gao Chao was that these two top agents performed well in the detectable mental power evaluation.

Gangya's mental strength is evaluated as a [severely mentally ill patient], which is the same level as the current Gaochao.

Amei is a [mental patient].

This made Gao Chao feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards the two people.

“Because it’s a cyborg… the mental strength required will be higher…”

Gao Chao thought to himself.

Just like in the 'cyberpunk worldview', if the body is overly modified with prosthetics, it is easy to turn into a cyber-psychopath?
In the drama "From Beijing with Love", Gangya's fighting ability is also extremely strong.

There is a move called "Iron Flying Fist", which can use the fist to attack outside the body like a missile, with amazing lethality.

Moreover, he has extremely strong physical defense, and can use his metal-modified arms to withstand close-range bullet shooting. Even if he is run over by a car, he can still stand up immediately as if nothing happened. After being hit by the big boss Golden Gunman with a black-tech golden gun that is comparable to a missile, the first shot only crippled one of his arms. If it were an ordinary person, he would have turned into ashes long ago... Stuttering glass and crunching are child's play.

You can think of Steel Teeth as an 'enhanced version' of Master Broken Water Flow.

Because apart from the defensive power, Steel Teeth can crush the latter.

Like Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, he also possesses the 'power to break walls'.

Ordinary walls are like paper in front of Gangya. He can rely on his own strength and tankiness to directly break through a wall.

Although it is the same wall that Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu broke through, it is also a relatively thin single-sided wall.

Regarding the 'power to break walls', He Liwang in the restricted movie "Li Wang" obviously has more say.

The prison wall that was shattered by a punch was visibly thick and solid.

Moreover, as a top agent who has received many years of rigorous training, although Gangya's IQ does not seem to be very high, his psychological quality for combat is definitely up to standard, which is not comparable to that of Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu, the "powerful giant baby".

The latter is still receiving inpatient treatment in a hospital in Hong Kong Island.

He was hit too hard by Gao Chao's elbow.

In addition, he did not have any special talent for recovering from injuries, so he would need to recuperate for at least several months, and there was a high probability that he would suffer serious sequelae.

Even if the injury is healed, the physical fitness may not be as good as before. Injuries are the powerful culprits that destroy a person's physical fitness.

As for Venus, the degree of her body modification is not as high as that of Steel Teeth, and her hard power is a little weaker, but she should not be underestimated either.

In the drama, he was praised by Ling Ling Qi for his ability to "change shape and change shadow".

And there is also a killer weapon, "high-temperature flame", which can extend two black metal tubes from the two mines on the chest, spraying a large amount of high-temperature flames...

Works like "Iron Fist of Fury" and "Flame of Fuel" also contain comic-adapted elements.

Just like the [King of Destruction] where Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu is, after being related to the "comic adaptation", the overall combat power level will not be low.

What made Gao Chao feel rewarding was.

These two people also have special talents, although they have all been unlocked by him.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that Venus possesses the [Venetian Missile].

This superb talent has been successfully unlocked by obtaining a trial card from the beautiful reporter Sissi in "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".

Gangya is the "Iron Stomach Boy" who owns an airplane. Gao Chao had already sacrificed this talent when he solidified the "Immortal God of War".

Unlocking can no longer be repeated.

However, the Talent Experience Card can still be obtained by first contacting the 'Talent Owner'.

Once there are enough talent experience cards, Gao Chao can participate in the lottery again.

If you can draw a few powerful character cards, not only will you have a chance to obtain the inheritance that comes with those character cards, but they are also trump cards.

……

After the charity gala is over.

Gao Chao secretly activated the [Dog Feeding Master] he got from Zhanmi.

Quietly waiting for the two top agents from back home to take the bait.

----------

【Dog Feeding Master (I can talk too! I can be patriotic too!)】

——When feeding dogs, the deterrent effect is highly enhanced for ordinary people.

——Easier to be noticed by red forces.

----------

This talent was not sacrificed by Gao Chao in the first two rounds of solidifying his talent, which was purely a precautionary measure.

Once the goal is achieved, it will become the system's "currency" talent.

It is worth mentioning that the old man Huafu also came to the charity dinner.

Following behind him was a middle-aged man with the physical fitness of a "martial artist" and the mental strength of a "practitioner".

The middle-aged man was from the Hong Kong Taoist Association, but unlike the president Lin Zheng and the association’s head Taoist priest Yuan, he was not from the Maoshan sect.

He was born in a small sect and had no background. He practiced hard in the past and thought himself to be noble. In the current Dharma-Ending Age, when it is difficult to catch one or two ghosts in Hong Kong Island, for the sake of livelihood, he finally decided to put aside his noble character and eat.

Last time at Jessica's birthday party, this middle-aged man followed behind Hua Fu.

At that time, Gao Chao saw that the other party had no special talents, and judging from his face, he was not the character in the movie, but a native of this alien world, so he did not take him seriously.

Although this middle-aged man added some data to Gao Chao's mental power rating list, which had not been updated for a long time—

[Ordinary people → slightly stronger than ordinary people → mentally ill people → severely mentally ill people → people with special abilities/practitioners → senior practitioners → demigods]

Yes, the spiritual power evaluation of [people with special abilities] and [practitioners] is on the same level.

Just like in the physical fitness rating, [Well-trained People] and [Martial Artists] are at the same level.

As for Hua Fu, it seemed that seeing that he was safe and sound last time, he became bolder, and this time he took the "bodyguard" hired from the Taoist Association and attended the Gaochao charity gala with a smile on his face.

And they quietly raised 500,000 yuan in advance.

Hua Fu did not appear at the ribbon-cutting ceremony just now.

After all, he had intentionally negotiated and donated "charity" in order to show his goodwill to Gao Chao. If too many people knew about this, it would be seen as him showing weakness... Although it was true, it would still bring shame to his own society.

"Mr. Gao, you are truly the conscience of the Hong Kong community. Look at you now, dressed in a suit and tie, so gentle and elegant, even the tie you wear makes you look rich and noble... You are much more handsome than when you were fighting and killing."

Hua Fu exchanged a few words with Gao Chao, acting like a loyal older brother.

"Brother Huafu, can you talk to the Taoist priest behind you? I have a good personal relationship with President Lin Zheng of our Hong Kong Island Taoist Association."

Gao Chao was not interested in chatting with Hua Fu, so he addressed the second half of the sentence to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man glanced at Hua Fu and saw that although the employer's face looked ugly for a moment, he did not say anything to stop him, so he did not refuse Gao Chao.

Gao Chao saw Hua Fu's hesitant and eager gaze.

When I pull a middle-aged man aside to chat alone.

Fang Zhanbo came to the scene secretly.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, loose tie, and messy hair, it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood and looked very downcast.

Fang Ting and Luo Huiling were also present.

Fang Zhanbo deliberately avoided the two women.

He found a deserted place, took a few plates of food from the charity dinner, and started eating and drinking by himself, as if he had been hungry for a long time.

"...Brother? Why are you here?!"

At this time, Fang Ting spotted her with her sharp eyes.

Fang Zhanbo looked up hurriedly.

Fang Zhanbo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Huiling was chatting with her favorite middle-aged female star from Hong Kong Island under Fang Ting's introduction and was not paying attention to this side.

He gestured to Fang Ting to follow him to a more remote place.

"Brother, how did you get into this situation?"

“…I lost money on stock trading this time.”

Fang Zhanbo said dejectedly.

"..."

"How much did you lose?"

Fang Ting sighed inaudibly, as if she had expected it and was mentally prepared.

Her calmness surprised Fang Zhanbo.

I couldn't help but look up at her, and then I didn't answer directly, but stammered:
"You know, last time, the money I made from stock trading was robbed by two bastards, and they beat me and Ah Yin seriously. Those two bastards had a brother who participated in a free-fighting competition. His name was Wu Hao... Wu Hao was good at fighting, so after participating in the competition, Brother Chao took a fancy to him and followed him."

"Those two bastards came to me privately and took the initiative to return the one million to me, and also gave me an additional two hundred thousand, saying that it was compensation for my hospitalization. They asked me not to tell Brother Chao about that incident... Otherwise, if Brother Chao had a grudge against them, they said they would make me lie dead in the morgue next time."
