Xu Lu didn't have high hopes for the system rewards he could get from filming "Living".
After all, this is a realistic work, so it's impossible for it to feature any overly fantastical skills.
As for daily life skills, he wasn't particularly interested in them, so Xu Lu didn't pay much attention when he saw the system rewards being distributed.
But to my surprise, there was a delightful surprise when I clicked on it.
The system thoughtfully noticed that there wasn't enough skill information for this type of film, so it randomly selected one from a wide range of genres for him.
As for the types such as 'Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jingdezhen, and Zoroastrianism'...
According to Xu Lu's own understanding, these should be skills from various religious sects.
'Ru' is of course Confucianism, 'Shi' is Buddhism, 'Dao' is Taoism, and the following 'Jing' and 'Xian' are the Western Papacy and Zoroastrianism, respectively.
The skills extracted from these types will undoubtedly have some mystical or supernatural attributes.
In fact, Xu Lu already possessed these skills; for example, his mastery of the 'Minor Five Elements Spells' undoubtedly belonged to the Taoist school.
"Let's start the extraction!" Thinking this, Xu Lu silently murmured with great anticipation.
Unexpectedly, this year's lottery ceremony was also different.
As he finished reciting, a small spinning wheel suddenly appeared in his mind, divided into several different colored areas, representing Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jingdezhen, Zoroastrianism, and so on...
Within each smaller area, the names of various skills constantly flashed and changed.
Above the turntable is a golden pointer.
It's obvious that Xu Lu will draw whichever skill the pointer points to.
The system prompt appeared quickly: [Spin the lottery wheel?]
"Turn it!" Xu Lu nodded without hesitation. Wasn't that obvious?
We're just one step away from success, so we definitely have to continue. Are we going to wait for the next draw?
Amidst the complaints, the lottery wheel began spinning rapidly, the pointer sweeping across the various large areas and over the flashing skills.
Xu Lu had sharp eyes and spotted some very tempting skills, but unfortunately the pointer was moving too fast and all of them flashed by.
Moreover, after the pointer spun a few times, Xu Lu discovered that any skill that had already been dodged would not reappear.
Thinking of this, he simply closed his eyes and waited for the pointer to stop on its own.
Because what if he discovers some amazing skill and manages to dodge it? Wouldn't he regret it to death?
So out of sight, out of mind, and you won't know if you've missed out on a good skill.
After waiting for about ten seconds, Xu Lu finally 'opened his eyes'.
He discovered that the pointer on the lottery wheel had indeed stopped, and it was stopped in the 'Confucian' area, pointing to a jumping skill called 'Unparalleled Talent'.
As Xu Lu was wondering what the strange name of the skill meant, the usage and purpose of the skill "Unparalleled Talent" automatically came to mind.
It turns out that this is a skill that can only be activated by one's own 'talent'. The higher a person's 'talent' level, the more miraculous the power of the skill.
You could even say it's a skills manual.
Because possessing 'unparalleled talent' allows one to develop many other abilities.
For example, the "photographic memory" at a lower level can make you have an exceptional memory.
At intermediate levels, verbal sparring can inflict substantial damage.
At higher levels, the "Soaring to Great Heights" technique allows one to float through the air.
There is only one way to improve one's 'talent' level: to show off in front of others.
In layman's terms, it's 'showing off'.
Moreover, it can't be ordinary showing off; that won't work. It has to be the kind of showing off that can showcase literary talent and eloquence.
For example, Xu Luqian's recent rebuttal of Master Zhuang is acceptable, and even earlier, his rebuttal of those modern poets is also acceptable.
"If this skill were given to someone else, it would definitely not be of much use, because unless you are a genius poet like Li Bai, someone with exceptional talent, a person's talent is very limited."
But for me, this thing's growth potential is just too strong! It's like it's bringing back stuff from another world for me! "Talented beyond measure? How about ten measures?"
Xu Lu thought excitedly:
"But if you want to increase your talent, you have to show off, and you have to show off in a cultured way. So in addition to making movies, I have another task now."
Furthermore, I need to use it effectively three times to permanently solidify this skill, so I need to find a few opportunities to show it off properly.
Thinking of this, Xu Lu glanced at his skill list again:
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Films already appeared in: Ye Wen 2, Narrow Encounters...Black Gold Eyes, Thieves Under Heaven...The Vanished Him, Summer's Depression...Mr. Vampire, Alive]
[Acquired Skills: Combat Proficiency, Painting Proficiency... Antique Proficiency, Thief Proficiency... Directing Proficiency, Singing Proficiency... Minor Five Elements Spells Proficiency, Unparalleled Talent (0/3)]
It has to be said.
The skill gained from filming 'Living' this time is quite powerful among all skills, especially its growth attribute, which is arguably the best among all skills currently available.
This film, which Xu Lu hadn't had high hopes for, turned out to be a huge surprise for him; it was probably a case of 'unintentional success'.
Xu Lu thought to himself:
"It looks like I'll have to shoot more spontaneous things in the future. Maybe I'll discover some amazing skills. This 'survival' is proof of that."
"Forget it, we'll deal with the future later. Let's solidify the 'Unparalleled Talent' skill first. Speaking of which, what exactly constitutes cultured showing off?"
Xu Lu thought for a moment and had already come up with the first solution.
Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, he called over the AI, Zhenweisi, and asked it to help with voice recognition.
As for Xu Lu himself, he used a small amount of the memory capsule's effect, then closed his eyes and began typing via voice:
“...My surname is Guo...This is...Yang Tiexin, Brother Yang…”
"...Guo Jing...Huang Rong...Ouyang Ke..."
"...This child...is named Yang Guo...and his courtesy name is Gaizhi..."
That's right!
Xu Lu is recounting his memories of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'.
With "The Return of the Condor Heroes" already established, how can we forget "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," its prequel?
Xu Lu had wanted to slack off before, so he hadn't done this task.
But now that 'Unparalleled Talent' needs to be used effectively three times, he naturally can no longer be lazy.
Fortunately, with the effects of the memory capsules and the assistance of Zhenweisi, the 1.2 million-word "Legend of the Condor Heroes" didn't take too long to complete.
Three days later, the complete version of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' was freshly released.
Without saying a word, Xu Lu had 'Zhen Weisi' upload this martial arts novel to Shuqie Novel Network.
