After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 421 Awakening on a Plane

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..."

Basically, every single person reading the explanation online couldn’t stop internally screaming "holy crap" the entire time.

A moment ago, they were still bashing the show’s producers for just teasing and hyping things up without revealing the actual program content.

Just seconds before, they were also accusing the crew of breaking the law by drugging these high school students.

And now? All they wanted was to slap themselves across the face, hard.

What is this? This is the world’s first-ever fully holographic game!

Who would’ve thought that the first person in the world to create a truly immersive holographic game wouldn’t be someone from the US or the UK, but a twenty-year-old from China?

This era-defining innovation in gaming? Yeah, no wonder the production team kept it under wraps beforehand—it was all leading to this jaw-dropper!

It’s absolutely certain this Qingmang TV show is not only going to blow up on Chinese internet platforms but will also gain worldwide attention.

[Ahhhhhh, I’m floored! The production team has us all completely in their grip, riding these intense emotional highs and lows. I never thought I’d live to see a program like this!]

[Holy crap, so those high school kids really thought they were drugged and locked up, only to wake up on a plane? This is too freakin’ intense!]

[Wait, that was just in-game footage just now? It looked absolutely real—I could feel my own heart racing watching it.]

[When are these game capsules going on sale? Anything under 200,000 Yuan, I’ll buy it instantly!]

[No one’s gonna talk about the participants’ reactions just now? Even though it’s a game, they completely believed it was real.]

[That Lu Sheng girl—her reaction speed is insane. Even from an omniscient viewer’s perspective, I couldn’t see the trachea giving away airflow, but she spotted it first!]

[It’s seriously badass. Now I’m hyped even more for the real game they’re about to enter!]

[OMG, wake up already! I can’t wait to see what happens next!]

As if responding to the viewers’ eager anticipation,

a few seconds later, the black screen with just a single line of text flashed off. The camera cut directly to the interior of the airplane cabin, where every seat was draped in red fabric.

Viewers focused their gaze—at first glance, it appeared every single participant was really asleep on the plane, while the aircraft itself was clearly in flight.

Their perspective perfectly captured every reaction taking place inside the cabin.

However, what surprised the viewers was that the first person to discover the effects of the sedative was Lu Sheng. And the first person to wake up on the plane was also Lu Sheng.

--

No one knew how much time had passed before Lu Sheng groggily opened her eyes.

The moment her consciousness returned, she felt a sense of pressure clogging her ears, like the discomfort felt during flight. It instantly gave her an eerie sense of déjà vu.

But when Lu Sheng’s vision finally focused and she took in her surroundings, her pupils contracted sharply in an instant.

This didn’t feel like déjà vu.

It felt real.

She really seemed to be on an airplane.

Looking around, she found herself inside an airplane cabin. Her two brothers were seated to her right, unconscious, while the rest of the program participants were scattered throughout the cabin, also asleep.

When Lu Sheng glanced out the window and saw clouds floating by, she pinched her own thigh hard and confirmed she wasn’t dreaming—this was no illusion, this was reality.

How could this be?

Her memory was still stuck on being sedated with a gas in that assembly hall, where the doors had been locked, causing everyone to pass out.

And now, somehow, they had all ended up on a flying airplane.

Was it the production team who put them here?

Shoving aside her other thoughts, Lu Sheng’s foremost concern was the condition of her two brothers. She reached out to shake them awake. "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, wake up! Are you guys okay?"

Under her persistent shaking, Lu Youye and Lu Youming gradually woke up. As their eyes adjusted to the scene in front of them, even the usually composed Lu Youming wore a rare expression of shock.

Seeing both her brothers awake, Lu Sheng then moved to rouse Lan Yu and Han Jing. At the same time, other participants in the cabin also started waking up one after another.

Without exception, the sight of being on an airplane left everyone thoroughly terrified.

Despite being some of the top academic achievers—state-level champions from their respective provinces—at the end of the day, they were still just a group of 17- or 18-year-old kids.

They were great at studying, sure, but most of them had little life experience. Some probably had never even traveled far from home, let alone been on an airplane.

To be drugged and then wake up in such a scenario, in mid-air no less—it was impossible for them not to be scared out of their wits.

"Ahhhh! Is this... a plane? Are we really on a plane?" one girl screamed.

"Who brought us onto this plane? Did the production team drug us and fly us here? Where are they taking us?"

"Is this all part of Qingmang TV’s production scheme?"

"The production team dared to lock us up, sedate us, and put us on a plane? I’ll have my dad sue them into bankruptcy! Qingmang TV is finished!!" An Xianni fumed in anger.

Everyone else panicked alongside her, with some timid girls already starting to cry.

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

She was just about to stand up and try to calm everyone down, but Shi Yuwei beat her to it, standing up first.
