Filming concluded, and Lin Yuan returned to his residence.
His injuries weren't serious; he'd be about eighty percent recovered after a day or two of rest.
With the end of this scene, his role in Jurassic Park 3 was also complete.
He had worried about the danger, which was why he scheduled this scene for last.
Before filming even began, he had even shot a safer version as a backup.
This was to prevent a situation where, if an accident occurred, he, as the lead actor, wouldn't be able to complete the remaining scenes, causing the film to be stalled and affecting the entire crew.
Fortunately, the filming plan had been perfectly executed, and Lin Yuan was very satisfied with his performance in the movie.
He also felt even more confident about completing the box office challenge.
Now it was time for the most anticipated attribute point allocation, and Lin Yuan opened his Attribute Panel:
[Name: Lin Yuan] [Age: 18] [Strength: 14] [Agility: 15] [Constitution: 14] [Distributable Attributes: 3] [Skills: Master Swordsmanship, Master Parkour, Master Flying Daggers]
He had gained 3 attribute points from this filming session: 2 points for the D-level difficulty and an additional 1 point for being injured for the first time.
He first allocated the points to Agility. He had previously broken through the cap for one attribute and could continue to enhance his Agility.
[Agility: 15 → 16] [Distributable Attributes: 3 → 1]
As his Agility increased, Lin Yuan once again felt himself becoming more agile.
He had a feeling that if a fly flew past him right now, he could catch it in his palm with his bare hands.
The Agility that had broken through the cap gave him faster nerve reaction speeds, which was the most important attribute for him as an action actor.
So, Lin Yuan prepared to continue increasing his Agility.
[Host's Distributable Attributes are insufficient to continue increasing Agility.]
Huh?
It was only after the system's prompt that Lin Yuan noticed that after breaking through 15 attribute points, each subsequent increase required 2 Distributable Attributes.
And he only had 1 Distributable Attribute left.
The system was indeed stingy with attributes; that had never changed.
Lin Yuan didn't want to hoard the remaining attributes. The scene tonight had made him realize that Constitution was also extremely important.
Getting injured was inevitable for an action actor. Having higher Constitution would at least reduce the probability of him becoming disabled.
So, he added the remaining 1 attribute point to his Constitution.
[Constitution: 14 → 15] [Distributable Attributes: 1 → 0]
With the further enhancement of his Constitution, Lin Yuan's first feeling was that the injury he sustained tonight seemed to have healed considerably.
His right shoulder, which had been difficult to move, now, apart from still being a bit sore, didn't significantly impede his movement.
After carefully sensing his body's strength, Lin Yuan felt that even if he were to compete in mixed martial arts, his ability to withstand blows would be top-tier.
But before he could celebrate, the system threw another message in front of him:
[Host's potential limit has been reached; this attribute cannot be further increased. Complete the task: Establish an intimate relationship with any non-B-type female to be rewarded with breaking the potential limit.]
Seeing the system's prompt, a guess that had been lingering in Lin Yuan's mind was confirmed.
Non-B-type female?
Lin Yuan was now certain that "B-type" referred to blood type.
So, non-B-type females meant choosing from Type A, Type O, or Type AB, right?
Did the guidance need to be so specific?
It was like a directed essay, digging several pits and waiting for him to jump in.
Compared to the system's stinginess in granting attributes, it was exceptionally generous in awarding skills for interactions between the sexes.
This system was truly improper!
The system was employing a dual approach of coercion and enticement regarding relationships.
However, the system's definition of "intimate relationship" was quite broad.
Should he comply with the system, or try to find loopholes?
Are sibling relationships considered close relationships?
A father-daughter relationship is definitely a close relationship, right?
Siblings? Mother and son? Teacher and student?
Lin Yuan shook his head, pushing these thoughts out of his mind. There's no use worrying about what might happen.
Thinking about it now is pointless.
What Lin Yuan is more concerned about right now is his success rate when challenging action sequences of various levels.
Given how much he has strengthened himself, what kind of changes will this bring?
[Action Sequence Danger Level: D, Host Success Rate: 99.9%.]
[By forfeiting the challenge for a D-level action sequence, the host will no longer receive attribute rewards.]
Damn it!
Just as he expected, the system never disappoints Lin Yuan.
The path of using low-difficulty action sequences to farm attributes is completely blocked.
It seems that if he wants to continue increasing his attributes, he can only keep challenging high-difficulty action sequences. What's the success rate for those?
[Action Sequence Danger Level: C, Host Success Rate: 77%.]
The success rate for C-level difficulty has increased from 70% to 77%. Lin Yuan is a little safer next time he challenges it.
Just then, an idea flashed through Lin Yuan's mind: Are there any action sequences with higher difficulty?
In his understanding, even during Jackie Chan's peak, his action sequences probably didn't reach B-level.
The system didn't make him wait long, immediately presenting the information before him:
[Action Sequence Danger Level: B, Host Success Rate: 20%.]
What's the deal with B-level difficulty?
Lin Yuan had never seen such a low success rate assessment.
When he first challenged D-level difficulty, it wasn't this low.
With such a low base, it's almost impossible to rely on attributes to boost the success rate.
It seems he'll have to rely on skills to improve his success rate.
Want to acquire skills?
Then interact more with the opposite sex...
It's gone full circle again. The system's open scheme is simply unsolvable.
Forget it, no more thinking. Lin Yuan prepared to sleep.
"We are all mortals, born into this world. Toiling endlessly, never a moment's rest..."
As soon as he lay down, his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID: Zhang Ziyi?
Hong Kong International Airport, VIP Lounge.
Jackie Chan was sitting on a leather sofa, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the flight arrival schedule.
He glanced at the Patek Philippe watch on his left wrist. It was already half-past eleven, and the flight was half an hour late.
A tall, beautiful female staff member walked over and crouched beside him, saying softly, "Mr. Chan, the flight you are waiting for will arrive soon. In ten minutes, we will bring your guest here."
"Thank you, you've worked hard."
"It's no trouble, it's what we should do."
The female staff member extended her hand to Jackie Chan. He paused for a moment and then extended his own hand for a light handshake.
With a sweet smile and a wink, the female staff member turned and left.
Jackie Chan then opened his palm: on a piece of paper, written in a pink marker, was a string of phone numbers.
He could only smile helplessly at this, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can beside him.
He was no longer interested in such romantic encounters.
As he aged, his enthusiasm for the matters between men and women had waned considerably.
Jackie Chan was already 46 years old this year. Although he had passed his physical peak, his ambition in his career remained as strong as ever.
