10 Zhang Guangmu Torture Scenes!

Those with Usable Ability Points were just this lavish!

Unfortunately, the Book of Acting did not give a damn about him.

That made Zhang Guangmu start to panic a little.

He rolled and crawled off the bed, rummaging through the room until he finally found a Piglet Rearing Manual.

He opened the book and focused his attention!

The words and illustrations within the book gradually shattered and reassembled before Zhang Guangmu's eyes.

Dazzling Crimson Light flashed before him.

After a while, the light gradually faded, and a picture scroll appeared before Zhang Guangmu.

—In a gloomy, damp dungeon, dark red bloodstains covered every corner. The handsome youth, tortured and imprisoned by four iron chains, had pale skin, reddened eyes, and wounds all over his body. Yet his eyes still held a smile, as though he had seen through life and death.

This was the scene from earlier, when Zhang Guangmu had been tortured by Boss Zhao's men.

"Hmm, the face is still my own."

After confirming that the Book of Acting had not malfunctioned, Zhang Guangmu sighed in relief. Stroking his chin, he gave himself an objective and fair assessment in his heart. Although the damn production team forcibly weakened my Appearance Value because they were afraid I'd steal scenes, I'm still much more handsome than Chu Fan.

In a few more years, I'll probably be able to crush plenty of actors just with my looks alone.

Sadly, I look a little too feminine. If those superficial people saw me, they might take me for a pretty boy who lives off others.

The only thing Chu Fan has over me is probably his temperament—that sunny, masculine vibe... Damn it! Once I have money, I'll get some Artificial Light Tanning and bronze this whole body!

That was pure wishful thinking.

The standard price for Artificial Light Tanning in Shangyang Commandery could buy Zhang Guangmu a month's worth of cat food after just one session. A poor bastard like him could not possibly afford it.

"Forget it."

Zhang Guangmu knew perfectly well that something only rich people could enjoy, like Artificial Light Tanning, required long-term upkeep. Someone born with naturally fair skin like him would turn pale again after staying home for a month, even if he gritted his teeth and bled his wallet dry for one session.

"Getting more sun is better than anything!"

Unable to have the grapes, Zhang Guangmu called them sour and lied to himself. "Artificial Light Tanning definitely isn't as good for the Human Body as natural sunlight."

Shaking his head, he gathered his Thoughts and focused on the important matter at hand.

Since this was his first time obtaining Ability Points, Zhang Guangmu had no idea how to use them.

Now, it seemed the Book of Acting was neither voice-controlled nor thought-controlled.

Before Zhang Guangmu's eyes, the red light on the Zhang Guangmu Torture Scene gradually gathered into the number 1 and branded itself onto the page.

"Simply put... one famous scene is equivalent to one freely allocable Ability Point?"

Zhang Guangmu noticed two lines of text gradually appearing on the scroll after the light faded.

Three cups, and promises spoken; the Five Sacred Mountains would seem light.

The Righteous Man you portrayed left a deep impression on the audience. Available Ability Points +1.

Zhang Guangmu felt his face heat up, somewhat embarrassed.

After all, he had only endured a round of torture. He had not done anything remarkable, yet he had earned the audience's recognition. He truly did not deserve this point.

Not long after, the Zhang Guangmu Torture Scene automatically squeezed onto the second page of the Book of Acting.

The primary attributes on the first page were also displayed.

Zhang Guangmu

Acting Skill 1

Imperial Body Forging Technique 1

Usable Ability Points 1

The method of using "Usable Ability Points" was: write with a pen.

Write with a pen?

It took Zhang Guangmu several seconds to understand what those three words meant. Not because he was stupid, but because this was beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Before transmigrating, he had been a veteran webnovel reader who had roamed the online fiction world for years, yet he had never seen such a bizarre way of adding points!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Even adding points needs a sense of ceremony..."

With his body nearly healed, Zhang Guangmu immediately found an amateur nurse and borrowed a pen.

The nurse said she did not have one and began asking others for help.

Zhang Guangmu had been careless.

Soon, the news that the Second Generation of Changhe was a scholar spread throughout the entire Survivor Camp.

Everyone pooled their efforts, and before long, they found Zhang Guangmu a fountain pen and a bottle of ink.

Facing the hopeful gazes of the survivors, Zhang Guangmu said in a deep voice, "I have inherited Brother Zhao Zhengrong's will, and I will definitely lead you into good days where everyone can eat their fill at every meal!"

"This is my promise, Zhang Guangmu!"

At this point, he paused, then changed the subject. "At exactly six tonight, we will launch a General Offensive against Chu Fan's group and seize their Endless Food Bag!"

"I have only one demand!"

It was a demand, not a request.

Everyone held their breath and listened closely, not daring to make even the slightest sound. They feared that this Ruthless person would put a bloody hole in them with a single shot.

Zhang Guangmu swept his gaze around, his tone grave. "Li Xiaoxiao is my benefactor. When I was about to starve to death, he gave me hope of survival."

"So..."

"As long as he doesn't have a gun in his hands, you are not allowed to harm him!"

Zhang Guangmu ascended to the new king and quickly slipped into the role. As he spoke, the words "not allowed" ultimately carried a trace of dominance, and everyone immediately agreed without a second thought.

As the Leader of Changhe Second Generation, Zhang Guangmu was young and did not appear as outwardly imposing as Boss Zhao, but he had indeed fought his way here with real blades and real guns. That dominance and toughness made no one dare defy his wishes.

Besides, the demand was perfectly reasonable. There was no need to argue.

Some particularly dense survivors even looked at Zhang Guangmu with ambiguous expressions, their faces practically saying, "I get it."

Zhang Guangmu remained expressionless, without the slightest ripple in his heart.

Although Li Xiaoxiao had a feminine name and a girl's face, and would be mistaken for a woman disguised as a man even in ordinary clothes, he was undoubtedly a Real Man.

These guys...

All he could say was that they deserved to be Small Fry. They could not even tell whether the Big Shot in the opposing camp was male or female.

It was utterly ridiculous!

Still, the Production Team seemed to have been deliberately misleading everyone with Script Hints all along?

Then they could not really be blamed.

"Very good."

Zhang Guangmu nodded. "You may all leave."

What he had just said served three purposes. First, it was to establish a Character Setting of someone who repaid kindness.

Second, among the New Generation Subconscious Actors, Li Xiaoxiao was one of the strongest. He had a highly distinctive personal style. In this Endless Food Bag, although he was part of the Protagonist Group, he had risen through genuine skill and powerful subconsciousness rather than relying on Appearance Value like some decorative vase. There might be opportunities to cooperate in the future. If they worked well together, Zhang Guangmu thought he and Li Xiaoxiao might even become Good Brothers.

Third, shouting the slogan, "Don't kill Li Xiaoxiao if he has no gun," was itself a way to divide Chu Fan's team and increase their odds of winning the Decisive Battle!

Silly as he might be, Zhang Guangmu had lived a Second life, after all. He used his brain when things happened!

After dismissing the people from the Survivor Camp, Zhang Guangmu did not close the door—there was no point in closing it anyway. A group of White Balls was still surrounding him!

Other people could not see the Book of Acting. As long as his Acting Skill was good enough, there would be no problem.

"One Usable Ability Point is nowhere near enough."

"Acting Skill is what puts food on the table. I have to add more to it later!"

"The Imperial Body Forging Technique is extremely useful in both the Subconscious Film World and the Real World. That needs to be a primary focus too."

"Gun skills are quite practical and can be used in most worlds... But that's not the main issue. The key is that I'm joining the Decisive Battle tonight!"

He had already shown off all he needed to. If he lost the Decisive Battle against Chu Fan and got ground into the dirt by them, would that not be utterly humiliating?

Therefore, as far as Combat Power was concerned, any increase was better than none!

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Guangmu did not even fill the fountain pen with ink. He directly wrote two words at the bottom of the Personal Ability Panel—Gun Skills.

He had at least handled guns and used them in actual combat. Even if it was not rated 1, he should at least have a rating of 0, right?

"..."

Seeing that the Book of Acting showed no reaction whatsoever, Zhang Guangmu began to panic.

It had to give him a chance to add points!

He hurriedly wrote three words with the inkless fountain pen—Bang Bang Bang!

Master Book of Acting! I'm begging you! Don't let me down at a Crucial Moment!

In an Instant, Gun Skills gradually twisted and transformed before Zhang Guangmu's eyes, condensing into new words—Firearms Shooting.
