Chapter 478 - Bronze Ability With Additional Talent: The Immortal Cockroach (Fake)
Chapter 478: Bronze Ability With Additional Talent: The Immortal Cockroach (Fake)
As Su Yang chose to check the rewards, a system notification popped up in front of him.
[Do you want to check the reward?]
[Yes.]
A moment later, the system notification sounded in Su Yang’s ears again: Completing the bronze quest and obtaining the bronze points will allow you to choose one additional point for each of the 3 random abilities.
After the notification ended, a pop-up window popped up in front of Su Yang. There were 3 options:
[1. Action Movie Acting Ability].
[2. Action Movie Acting Ability].
[3. Action Movie Acting Ability].
Looking at the 3 random abilities before him, Su Yang momentarily forgot the fact that he could not see with his eyes. His heart was completely focused on the choice of Bronze Ability.
‘[Action Movie Acting Ability]?
‘This should be considered to be part of the branch amongst all acting abilities, right?
‘Is it a branch that leans towards acting in action movies?
‘From the looks of it, wouldn’t it a good match for “Wolf Warriors”?
‘After all, even though “Wolf Warriors” was a military-themed movie, it’s filled with action scenes actually!’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, the system automatically confirmed an option since all 3 options were the same. All sorts of knowledge and experience related to action movies entered Su Yang’s mind. Perhaps it was because Su Yang did not know anything about acting before, a lot of basic acting knowledge filled his mind as well.
For example, how to liberate one’s nature, how to ignore the camera during a performance and how to invest one’s emotions into the character they were portraying.
Although these experiences could not make Su Yang an outstanding actor, at least he would not be clueless about common acting.
Su Yang looked at the empty space before him and slowly digested the knowledge. He felt like… He was a student who had gone through 3 to 4 years of education in the performing arts academy and had a comprehensive and clear understanding of acting.
Su Yang was especially strong in terms of action scenes. In that aspect, he had about 5 to 8 years of acting experience. He knew how to perform all kinds of action scenes in front of the camera, how to film it to make it more enjoyable for the audiences. He also knew how actors should handle some difficult action scenes.
After digesting the experience and knowledge, Su Yang felt that he had drawn a rather exceptional Bronze Ability that time. Initially, he had wanted to receive [Acting Ability]. With such a wide range, he would be able to perform anything.
Now that he had absorbed this experience, Su Yang realized that this was actually the most suitable for him. After all, the more he learned, the better it was.
After combing through the experience in his head, another notification popped up in front of Su Yang. [Randomly received 3 of the same ability. Received a [Beginner Talent] related to ability: The Immortal Cockroach (Fake).]
‘The Immortal Cockroach?
‘Fake?
‘What is this?’
Su Yang was a little confused as he looked at the new notification. He could not understand the new talent that he just received.
‘What is this?’
He clicked on it.
[Acting Talent: The Immortal Cockroach (Fake): Your acting skills will not be affected because of any injuries. In fact, your acting skills will greatly increase when you’re injured, the more injured you are, the better your acting skills will be. Outsiders will never be able to tell that you are injured.]
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Is this…
‘Is this the legendary ability of the hot-blooded protagonist in Japanese anime?
‘No matter how heavily injured I am, no matter how difficult the situation is, I will always be able to crawl up and continue to get it done! It’s as if I can’t be killed no matter how heavily injured I am.
‘So… This is actually an acting skill?
‘It can’t be.’
Su Yang thought about it carefully. ‘The protagonists’ abilities seem to be real, they really are immortal. However, I’m just a glass cannon, I’m just for show!
‘So I’ve obtained the talent of being a low-class protagonist?
‘No wonder it’s called a Fake!
‘However, on second thought, I haven’t lost anything since this talent is completely free! I didn’t have to spend a single yuan or coin!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang no longer had any complaints.
Once everything was settled, Su Yang’s half an hour lucky period plan was completed.
Because he could not see, Su Yang could not tell how much time had passed. He looked around in confusion and asked Little Deeny who was standing beside him. “Little Deeny, where are you?”
Little Deeny’s voice sounded from Su Yang’s left. “Master, I’m here. What’s wrong?”
Su Yang habitually turned to the left, but there was nothing before his eyes.
Perhaps sensing Su Yang’s abnormality, Little Deeny asked with concern, “Master, are you alright?”
Su Yang shook his head in the ‘nothingness’. “I’m fine. It’s just that my silver ability is upgrading, so I can’t see anything.”
“Ah?” Little Deeny said, “How long will that take?”
Su Yang shook his head. “I’m not sure either.”
He remembered that he was looking for Little Deeny. “By the way, can you help me check the countdown timer on the floor?”
Little Deeny nodded. “Yes, Master.”
Then, Su Yang heard Little Deeny’s footsteps. A moment later, the footsteps returned to his side. “Master, there’s still 3 minutes left.”
“3 minutes… I see…” Su Yang sat on the chair and found a more comfortable position. He “looked” up at the sky with lifeless eyes. He could not see anything before him and it made him feel like the whole world had changed.
This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of being blind.
‘It’s really… pitiful.
‘It’s such a cruel thing to be unable to see this colorful world.
‘However, the cruelest would be the ones who were originally able to see, but lost their sights due to some illness.
‘Such as myself…’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang lamented, “I wonder when my eyes will return to normal. I wonder… How is the program progressing at the moment.”
While Su Yang was feeling uneasy, the programming division of Shanghai TV Station was also feeling uneasy.
That was because… the viewership ratings at the beginning of the show were about to be released.
Actually, as one of the trump cards of Shanghai TV Station, the programming division of [Interview with Liu Ru] had always been rather calm and collected. Even though they were not considered to be the best program within Shanghai TV Station, they were still considered one of the hottest shows.
If it were in the past, they would have gone home to eat and drink long ago.
However, after recording the show yesterday afternoon, the host, Liu Ru, was sensitive enough to notice the highlight of that episode. She felt that the interview might help her expand her viewership, so she went directly to Shasha’s parents to ask for more resources to promote its publicity.
To be able to return the favor for Shasha’s parents, Liu Ru was clearly on good terms with Shasha’s parents. When she went to the office to look for Shasha’s parents, they would definitely consider her request seriously.
During the recording, Shasha’s mother watched the whole process, so when Liu Ru came over, she thought about it and expressed her support.
At first, Shasha’s father did not understand why his wife and his hardcore subordinate would be so concerned about a program that was meant to repay a favor. However, after watching the rough cut version, he could not help but frown and went deep in thought.
After pondering for half an hour, Shasha’s father made up his mind. He decided to increase the promotional resources for that episode. After checking the station’s promotional resources, he decided to use all the resources from the other programs in the station to promote that episode, Liu Ru’s Interview.
The television station was a very complex entity. It belonged to both the organization and the entertainment industry. All the programs, hosts and leaders had complicated relationships.
Shasha’s father had suddenly cut off all the other programs’ resources, clearly making many people unhappy.
Especially after knowing that this episode was specially used by Shasha’s father to return the favor, there were even more rumors in the station. They said that Shasha’s father used everything for his own personal gain and that he did not care about anything else all to return the favor.
The issue was neither big nor small. Shasha’s father was only a deputy director. He had a station head above him and 2 other vice directors of the same level. There were also some experienced directors who had their eyes on his position. Even though no one objected to his decision, it still attracted their attention.
And so, just as everyone in the broadcasting company was looking forward to it, the program was broadcasted.
Liu Ru’s programming division had already considered how to promote the show when the other programs were being held back.
Even though their main focus for this episode was to save lives, their biggest highlight was “Artificial Intelligence”. They would use Artificial Intelligence as a gimmick to attract the attention of the public.
In their eyes, even though the title was a little exaggerated, it was not without reason. After all, under the witness of thousands of netizens, Jiadian Technology’s artificial intelligence screening rate had reached zero error. That was something that no company in the industry could do.
Furthermore, it had even been complimented by the national organization, Weibo. That alone was enough to prove the power of Jiadian Technology.
As for whether the other technology companies would be unhappy with that name, that issue was non-existent since it was too distant from their industry.
In fact, they had achieved their goal. When they saw the topic of how the founder of the best artificial intelligence company in the country had personally explained how artificial intelligence could save a kidnapped child, many people were intrigued.
Young people would be focused on artificial intelligence while middle-aged and elderly users would be focused on saving children. As for the technicians, they were attracted by Su Yang’s first display of Jiadian’s artificial intelligence system.
And so, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the program started broadcasting.
At the beginning of the show, the host, Liu Ru, briefly told the story of how Findme app was used to rescue Shasha the other night.
This grabbed the hearts of the audience.
The middle-aged and elderly users felt sorry for the poor child while the young people were curious about what that had to do with artificial intelligence. The people in the technology industry were thinking about how the artificial intelligence for Findme app was able to locate a child.
At that moment, Liu Ru invited Su Yang up and started the interview.
With his experience and knowledge, Su Yang did not have any stage fright during the show. He spoke fluently and calmly.
He went on and on about how his company’s artificial intelligence was able to save the child trafficking process.
For example, collecting all user data that provided information. marking out the locations of various effective information on a map, removing error data etc.
In all seriousness, Su Yang was talking about the most ordinary data screening process. However, he had the [Verbal Cannon] ability, hence it was not boring to talk about such a simple matter. Instead, everyone listened attentively.
Artificial intelligence has been entering people’s lives step by step over the years. However, it was either negative images, such as big data analytics where advertisements were projected through artificial intelligence, or there was no other way for civilians to use such as smart cars, smart robots and so on.
Su Yang’s highlight was the first company that used artificial intelligence to bring convenience and help to humans and it was also a company that had entered the practical stage.
Hence, many discussions started.
And because the audience were different, when they watched the same show, they would discuss different topics.
For example, people from technology companies were chatting in the industry groups or company groups.
“Can we filter and analyze such data?”
