[The host's dating style, mixed with work discussions, achieved unexpected results, establishing a deeper bond with a Type B girl, granting an additional reward.]

[Host has received a skill reward: Flying Dagger Technique (Master)!]

After finishing his date for the night and returning to his residence, Lin Yuan received the reward from the system.

This actually worked?

No prior mission, and then they just forcefully shove a skill reward at me afterward?

This system really left Lin Yuan speechless. It was so stingy when it came to granting attribute points. It wouldn't give any unless he risked his life to complete dangerous action scenes.

Although his natural physical potential had a ceiling, the system offered hope for breaking through it, as long as he was willing to complete missions.

When it came to luring him into interacting with girls, the system really went all out, not holding back at all.

It was clearly trying to guide him down the path of a player.

As he mastered the Master Flying Dagger Technique, a familiar feeling surged within him again.

Another memory of practicing throwing knives for over thirty years appeared out of nowhere in Lin Yuan's mind.

In the memory, he had been exposed to and trained in throwing techniques from a young age.

After years of rigorous practice, his mind, hands, and eyes finally became one, with no separation between the three.

With a thought, his gaze locked onto the target, and his throw was as swift as lightning, never missing.

But he didn't stop there, nor did he slack off. Instead, he continued to hone his flying dagger skills.

Days turned into weeks, and his flying dagger techniques were repeatedly refined, shedding all impurities and becoming even more refined.

Finally, one day, he knew he had reached the master level.

The Master Flying Dagger Technique was also unparalleled in the world, a divine skill.

At the end of the memory, Lin Yuan found himself in a stormy, rainy night.

Sixty meters away from him, a large red lantern, covered by a windproof sleeve, swayed in the wind.

Gale-force winds, heavy rain, poor visibility, the swinging lantern…

None of these adverse conditions could shake his confidence.

With a powerful swing of his right hand, three flying daggers held in his palm shot out.

Three graceful arcs shattered countless raindrops in the downpour, creating misty sprays.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The three flying daggers hit the target simultaneously from different angles, slicing the large red lantern into several pieces, demonstrating their astonishing power.

As the lantern shattered, all light vanished from the rainy night, and he was plunged into darkness.

When Lin Yuan's eyes lit up again, he had exited that memory.

"Isn't this skill a bit too overpowered?" Lin Yuan couldn't suppress the look of surprise and joy on his face.

As expected from the system, its products were top-notch.

But this flying dagger skill was just too imbalanced.

While Lin Yuan's previous Master Swordsmanship was very strong, its practical use in daily life wasn't very significant unless he was on a film set.

He could use Master Swordsmanship for performances, but it was difficult to use for self-defense.

He couldn't possibly carry a long sword with him every time he went out, could he?

If he were suddenly attacked by criminals, and there happened to be a stick on the roadside, he might be able to use his swordsmanship.

But if there was nothing, even a sword master like him would be helpless.

However, Master Flying Dagger Technique was completely different.

Firstly, the concealment of flying daggers was incredibly strong, meaning Lin Yuan could carry a few daggers for self-defense without drawing attention when he went out.

Secondly, Lin Yuan's throwing range was ridiculously far.

A regular handgun was said to have an effective kill range of 50 meters, but in reality, even achieving some accuracy at 30 meters required long-term training.

For ordinary people, beyond 10 meters, the accuracy of handgun shooting was already quite impressive.

Yet, Lin Yuan could throw three flying daggers simultaneously at a moving target from over sixty meters away in a rainy night…

This meant that carrying a few flying daggers would give him a killing power and range comparable to an assault rifle.

Weapons were an inch longer, an inch stronger. Therefore, in terms of sheer killing power, Master Swordsmanship, without mystical elements like sword energy, couldn't compare to Master Flying Dagger Technique.

The public security in America wasn't great. If Lin Yuan encountered a thug on the street who pulled out a gun, the original Lin Yuan could only cover his head and flee.

Now, with the Master Flying Dagger Technique, his safety was greatly ensured.

The system was truly amazing!

At this moment, Lin Yuan's mood was excellent.

However, the system's rewards weren't over yet.

[The host has established an intimate connection with a Type B girl, rewarding the breakthrough of one attribute's upper limit.]

Lin Yuan had just been complaining, and now his attribute cap was broken?

His bond with Liu Yifei had deepened tonight; was this a successful establishment of an intimate relationship?

Lin Yuan had originally thought that an intimate relationship meant engaging in activities only adults could do, but now it seemed the requirements weren't that strict.

Breaking the attribute cap meant Lin Yuan could increase one of his three core attributes—Strength, Agility, or Constitution—beyond 15.

Lin Yuan was also very curious about how far his physical condition could develop if he just kept stacking attributes.

But could only one attribute break through the cap?

What about afterward? How would the other two break through the cap?

Would he need to establish intimate relationships with other types of girls?

Recalling the system's definition of an intimate relationship, which seemed easy to achieve, Lin Yuan understood immediately.

Since intimate relationships weren't too difficult to achieve, it could push him to establish intimate relationships with more types of girls more quickly.

The scumbag system is trying to corrupt me!

Lin Yuan only grumbled a couple of times; his current focus was on how to film "Jurassic Park 3" well.

This movie had staked Director Cohen's connections and Mr. Eisen's test, and he had barely secured the lead role.

If the box office failed, all the film companies would label him a failure, and he would have a hard time getting another chance to prove himself.

At the same time, "Jurassic Park 3" was related to whether he could complete the task given by the system.

Task First Stage: Star in a Hollywood movie, and its global box office must surpass "The Mummy Returns".

Now that Lin Yuan had successfully secured the lead role in "Jurassic Park 3," the next step was to surpass "The Mummy Returns" at the box office.

Knowing that "The Mummy Returns" would gross $443 million worldwide, ranking seventh for the year, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel immense pressure.

Director Sommers' dismissive expression reappeared in Lin Yuan's mind.

"How could my movie possibly have a Chinese lead?"

"I'd rather cast a Black person than consider a Chinese person!"

This wasn't just an insult to Lin Yuan alone; Director Sommers' discrimination was by no means an isolated incident.

Lin Yuan knew he was facing a wall of prejudice.

It was so solid, appearing unbreakable.

But even a thousand-mile dike could be destroyed by an ant hole. To tear down this wall, all it took was finding a breakthrough point, then continuously expanding it, and success would eventually come.

"Jurassic Park 3" carried too much weight.

And Lin Yuan was scheduled to join the crew and begin filming tomorrow.
