"It has to be said that once the 'Unparalleled Talent' skill reaches a high level, it is quite difficult to level it up further."
Although I've been constantly collecting 'talent points' using the pseudonym 'Qinglian Jushi', I'm still a little short.
Xu Lu glanced at the talent value on the attribute panel in his mind and sighed.
He has now reached the level of "Talented and Superb" in the skill of "Unparalleled Talent".
Having gained five secondary abilities, including 'photographic memory' and 'eloquent debate', it can be said that the gains were quite substantial.
However, he is still a little short of reaching the 'Talented Master' level.
In other words, we're still a bit short of unlocking the next secondary ability.
"Although the promotion is slow, I can't stop doing what I need to do. I'll continue to post my daily poetry updates!"
Thinking this, Xu Lu was about to log into Weibo.
But just then, a figure hurriedly knocked on the office door and came in.
There are very few people in the entire Daxu Culture who can enter the office so casually, so it was not unexpected. The person who came was Feng Xiaoxia, the chief producer of Daxu.
At this moment, Feng Xiaoxia looked somewhat anxious and said:
"Mr. Xu, have you offended someone again recently, perhaps... someone from the Modern Poetry Association?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu countered with a question:
"What's going on? Xiaoxia, you're just saying this to me out of the blue, I don't understand at all."
"How could I have offended the Modern Poetry Association? You know I've been resting and recuperating at the company lately; how could I have had time to offend anyone?"
"That's true!"
Feng Xiaoxia nodded, then asked in puzzlement:
"That's really strange, Mr. Xu. I received news that the Modern Poetry Association is promoting their Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering, and they're targeting you. It seems like they want to compete with you at the poetry gathering!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu almost burst out laughing.
However, he quickly suppressed his smile and said:
"Xiaoxia, as you know, I had a falling out with the Modern Poetry Association and its president a long, long time ago."
I never expected people in their circle to be so vengeful. It's been so long, yet they're still trying to cause me trouble. But then again, they were humiliated last time, do they really dare to come looking for trouble again?
Feng Xiaoxia sighed and said:
"Mr. Xu, I've heard the news. Apparently, the Modern Poetry Association has found a very talented poet this time, whose name is something like 'Layman'."
I've forgotten his exact name, but I heard he's really good at writing poetry, and that's what he did to get back at you.
Or, we could issue a statement saying that we're from the film and television industry and won't compete with their modern poetry circle. If we're going to compete, let's compete in filmmaking, and see if they dare to come.
Xu Lu was stunned for a moment, not expecting Feng Xiaoxia to have such wit.
However, he quickly waved his hand and said:
"It's alright, no need to issue any statement. You know my personality; I've always been one to 'meet challenges head-on.' If the Modern Poetry Association dares to cause trouble, then let them come!"
"But Mr. Xu, what if..."
Feng Xiaoxia was somewhat worried.
Xu Lu laughed and said:
"It's okay. Didn't you just say that I'm not a professional poet? It's not a big deal if I lose."
"Alright then!"
Feng Xiaoxia finally nodded.
As for Xu Lu, a smile appeared on his face after watching Feng Xiaoxia walk out of the office.
The reason why the Modern Poetry Association dared to provoke them so actively was because he was behind it all, acting in disguise.
So what does he have to worry about?
Besides, although Master Qinglian is powerful, President Xu is not someone to be trifled with.
Xu Lu finds the thought of having to "fight against himself" very interesting.
"Moreover, with the help of the Modern Poetry Association in promoting it, there will definitely be more people paying attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival."
If you perform this act well, you'll likely earn a lot of 'talent points,' and unlocking 'highly talented' will be just around the corner.
However, the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering will require unleashing the unique skill of "ambidextrous combat," so even with superior skills and boundless courage, some preparation is still necessary to avoid botching the performance.
Xu Lu muttered something under his breath.
However, he didn't stop and quickly logged into Weibo.
After reading the comments left by fans for a while, Xu Lu had a flash of inspiration.
Then he typed away on the keyboard, quickly edited a post, and published it:
'Mount Tai...how is it...Qi and Lu...the greenery stretches endlessly...'
'When I reach the summit, I will survey the vast landscape below...'
Fans were all shocked to see this new post from 'Qinglian Jushi'.
Before the post was published, they were actually discussing on Weibo whether Qinglian Jushi would have a conflict with director Xu Lu.
Because of the publicity from the Modern Poetry Association, many people remembered some things from the past.
I recalled the scene where many masters of the Modern Poetry Association were humiliated by a director from the directing circle using poetry.
For a long time afterward, the Modern Poetry Association seemed to disappear without a trace.
When people saw that the Modern Poetry Association dared to take the initiative, they guessed that it was the poet Qinglian Jushi, who had recently become popular.
I think the reason why the Modern Poetry Association has become so 'brave' this time is definitely because of Qinglian Jushi.
