"Brother Xu, are you really planning to leave Xingcheng tomorrow? Don't you want to stay here a couple more days?"
At the dinner table, female fan Pang Yue asked with some disappointment.
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"I've been in Xingcheng for quite a while now, and I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll definitely come back again next time!"
That's right! Xu Lu has already completed filming all the scenes for the 'Ghost Blows Out the Oil Lamp' series.
When the female fan heard that he was about to leave, she wanted to treat him to dinner that night, so Xu Lu didn't refuse.
He actually gave the two bottles of red wine that Director Xie had asked a girl to pass to him last time to a female fan!
It's a matter of reciprocity!
"Alright then, Brother Xu, I'll toast you. I wish you all the best in your future films, that you'll be the lead actor, make a fortune, and become a movie star!"
Hearing Xu Lu's words, Pang Yue was disappointed, but quickly smiled and raised her glass, saying:
Xu Lu laughed heartily, raised his glass, and said with a smile:
"Although I know it's unrealistic to always be the lead in every film, thank you for your well wishes, cheers..."
Since there were no outsiders at dinner, Xu Lu didn't drink much.
And after dinner, he didn't stay long, taking a taxi directly back to the hotel, since he still vividly remembered that person's sixth sense.
However, after arriving at the hotel, Xu Lu did not rest immediately, but instead hesitated.
Because the reward for each filming session had arrived by this time.
What made him hesitate was that the skills granted by filming 'Ghost Blows Out the Oil Lamp' this time were somewhat...hellish.
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Films already appeared in: Ghost Blows Out the Oil Lamp]
[Film Genre: Tomb Raiding]
Overall film rating: S
[Character Contribution Rating: D]
[Do you want to draw the video-related skill 'Coffin Mountain Guiding Technique'?]
[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!]
Xu Lu certainly knew the origin of this "Coffin Mountain Pointing Technique". Among the many tomb raiding schools in the north and south, this was a unique skill of the "Mountain Guardian".
"If I choose this skill, I won't have any room to show it off. Am I really going to go tomb raiding? Am I crazy?"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Lu dismissed the idea and silently recited in his mind:
"Change the skills that can be drawn!"
With a thought, the reward item on the attribute panel in my mind instantly changed:
[Do you want to draw the video-related skill 'Mountain Moving Technique'?]
"Um... I'd have a hard time using this too. Even if I drew it, I probably wouldn't be able to effectively use it three times, and it wouldn't become a permanent skill!"
Xu Lu thought to himself.
This "Mountain Moving Technique" is clearly the ability possessed by the "Mountain Moving Taoists" within the tomb raiding sect, and it is further divided into "Mountain Splitting and Digging Armor" and "Mountain Moving and Sea Filling Technique"...
Since it's something that can't be solidified into a permanent skill, it's useless to obtain. Keep exchanging, and the reward information changes again in the next moment:
[Do you want to draw the video-related skill 'Feng Shui Secrets'?]
Seeing this, Xu Lu smiled wryly.
Even though I know that movies like 'Ghost Blows Out the Oil Lamp' will inevitably extract these kinds of skills, I still can't help feeling frustrated.
After all, using this skill effectively is a huge challenge for Xu Lu!
But now that he's used up all three replacement opportunities, he can't replace it even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, compared to the previous two skills, the 'Feng Shui Secret Technique' has a wider range of applications and does not necessarily require tomb raiding.
"Let's proceed with the extraction!"
Xu Lu silently recited the command in his mind, and soon he saw a corresponding change in the skill list in his mind:
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Films already appeared in: Ip Man 2, Narrow Encounters, God of Comedy, Ghost House, Black Gold Eyes, Thieves of the World, Ghost Blows Out the Oil Lamp]
[Acquired Skills: Combat Proficiency, Painting Proficiency, Performance Proficiency, Qi Observation, Antique Proficiency, Thief Proficiency, Feng Shui Secrets - Permanent (0/3)]
"According to the number of volumes, the secret arts of feng shui are divided into sixteen characters, namely, Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghost, God... Material transformation, Yin and Yang, Emptiness!"
Because of this, it has a wide range of applications, although its uses are somewhat down-to-earth... oh no, I mean, very practical.
Speaking of which, my own skill, 'Qiankun Wangqi', seems to be particularly suitable for the 'Yin' category...
"It takes three effective uses to solidify this skill into a permanent one, which seems quite difficult!"
Looking at this information and feeling the complex knowledge that had suddenly appeared in his mind, Xu Feng muttered to himself:
"I can't just grab anyone off the street and run up to them saying things like 'If the ancestors are buried upright, the descendants will surely be great,' can I? People would think I'm crazy, and I might end up being taken to the police station for questioning!"
...
Nothing was said that night, and the next day, Xu Lu returned directly to Hongcheng.
Returning to familiar surroundings is definitely more comfortable. The only thing that's a little different from before is that Reba has probably disappeared somewhere.
Xu Lu called the other party, but no one answered. Dilraba called back that evening, saying she was participating in a program in another city, but wouldn't say what program it was when asked.
Xu Lu was at his wits' end with this girl and had no choice but to give up.
In the following days, Boss Yang did not assign Xu Lu any new filming tasks.
Xu Lu suddenly found himself with nothing to do...
"Hey friends, are you all here? If so, let's keep chatting..."
In this situation, Xu Lu simply picked up live streaming again, spending all day chatting and joking with his fans in the live stream.
