"Another skill will be added to my account soon, which is great. It seems that joining Boss Yang's team is the right choice for now!"
After sending Reba back, Xu Lu returned to his residence and rubbed his hands together with some joy.
Yes!
Although the 'Black Gold Eyes' he starred in a few days ago was a TV series, that did not prevent the system from issuing rewards.
Moreover, you don't even need to wait for the entire film and television series to be filmed. As long as Xu Lu's scenes in this film are completed, the reward will be credited to his account immediately!
Xu Lu didn't have to wait long before he looked at the attribute panel in his mind, and the information quickly appeared:
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Films already appeared in: Black Gold Eyes]
[Film Type: Treasure Appraisal Film]
[Overall Film Rating: A]
[Character Contribution Rating: E]
[Should I select the video-related skill 'Sculpting Mastery'?]
[Note: You have three chances to change your skill selection for each video. Once a skill is abandoned, it cannot be selected again. Please use each chance carefully!]
"It seems that TV series generally receive lower overall ratings than movies, so an A rating is already quite remarkable."
That makes sense, considering the overall rating of a film is closely related to its box office performance; movies are far more profitable than TV series.
Xu Lu thought to himself.
As for his contribution to the role in this TV series being rated as E, that's quite normal.
This time he wasn't the second male lead; he was just a character who appeared later in the story, so he was only slightly better off than the previous guest actors.
However, these were not Xu Lu's biggest concerns; his attention had long been focused on his skills.
"Master of carving? That must be the skill of the old craftsman in the jade shop in the film, but that's not what I'm after!"
Xu Lu did not hesitate and immediately chose to change.
Soon, the reward information reappeared:
[Do you want to draw the video-related skill 'Antique Expertise'?]
This time, Xu Lu didn't continue changing skills, because this was the skill he wanted.
Actually, if he hadn't managed to get it this time, Xu Lu would definitely have used his last chance to change it, but luckily he's always been pretty good.
"Draw skills!" Xu Lu silently recited in his mind.
This time, the acquisition of skills was different from before. Countless pieces of knowledge began to converge in his mind, and for a moment, Xu Lu even felt a little dizzy.
A few minutes later, Xu Lu came to his senses with a very strange expression.
He discovered that this 'Antiques Expertise' skill contained a vast amount of knowledge, so much so that he could use this one skill as if it were multiple skills.
The most important of these is, of course, 'antique appraisal'. Other related services include 'antique forgery', 'antique restoration', 'jade material expertise', and so on.
"Hiss! Just this one skill of being proficient in antiques that I extracted is a huge win for me. It's practically all the abilities the protagonist in 'Black Gold Eyes' possesses!"
Xu Lu muttered to himself with a look of delighted surprise.
He originally didn't take it seriously, only thinking that it would be good to get a new skill.
Who knew the rewards would be so substantial? Moreover, Xu Lu felt that the earning potential of the 'Antique Expertise' skill was likely even greater than that of 'Painting Expertise'!
"Maybe I should take a stroll around those antique streets nearby. Anyway, I've finished filming my scenes, and I need to make good use of my new skills."
Xu Lu quickly made up his mind. He glanced at his skill list again, which was now filled with more and more skills:
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Films already appeared in: Ip Man 2, Narrow Encounters, God of Comedy, Ghost House, Black Gold Eyes]
[Acquired Skills: Combat Proficiency, Painting Proficiency, Performance Proficiency, Qi Observation, Antique Proficiency - Permanent (0/3)]
...
"That jerk actually didn't come to the set today, leaving me here to film all by myself. How awful!"
The following morning, on the filming location for "Black Gold Eyes".
After looking around but not finding Xu Lu, Dilraba stomped her foot angrily and muttered a curse under her breath.
Last night, she saw Xu Lu waiting for her at a small restaurant and thought he was joking when he said he wasn't coming to the film set.
But when she arrived today, she discovered that the scoundrel was actually serious.
"Hmph, Sister Honey told him to stick with me these days, but he ran off by himself. I'll tell on him!"
Thinking of this, Reba smiled with a hint of schadenfreude, and quickly dialed a number:
"Honey, I have something to tell you. Hmm, Xu Lu is really undisciplined..."
"Yeah, scold him, scold him! We must give him a good talking-to and make him come to the set right away..."
After hanging up the phone, Dilraba smiled secretly, and then went back to filming her scenes.
But when she finished filming a scene, she took a break and checked her phone, only to find that Mr. Yang had already replied to her message.
"Can't get through to Xu Lu? He dares not answer Sister Mi's calls, oh my god!"
Dilraba stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Now she discovered something else: it turns out that Xu Lu's claim that he wasn't afraid of Boss Yang was actually true!
...
"Heh, women, you're all still a ways off from being able to control me. And as for checking up on me over the phone, you're not even dreaming!"
Looking at Mr. Yang's number displayed on his phone, Xu Lu hung up without hesitation.
He didn't even need to think to know that it must have been that little girl Reba who complained about him to Boss Yang, which is why he wouldn't fall for that trick and answer the phone.
