An Agreement with Liu Tianxian

Lin Yuan, inside the truck's cab at this moment, had his full attention on the golden text before him.

[Completed C-level dangerous action scene, obtained 2 assignable attribute points.]

[Exceeded action scene completion, an additional 1 assignable attribute point obtained!]

Due to an accident, the difficulty of this action scene had been elevated from D-level to C-level, and he had exceeded the mission's requirements?

He had expected only 1 attribute point as a reward, but now the system had given him 3 points at once, making Lin Yuan feel like he'd struck gold.

Lin Yuan immediately continued to allocate the attribute points to Agility.

For an action actor, Strength and Constitution were certainly important, but Agility offered the highest cost-effectiveness.

For any high-difficulty action, reaction speed and body coordination were the most crucial elements.

[Agility: 14→15]

Continuing, Lin Yuan intended to increase his Agility to 17 points in one go.

But in the next second, the golden system prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Host's potential limit has been reached, cannot continue to upgrade this attribute. Complete the mission: Establish an intimate relationship with any type of girl, and the host will be rewarded with the ability to break through the potential limit.]

Everyone's physical fitness has a limit; my potential can only be strengthened to this extent?

But what's the principle behind breaking through this potential limit?

Since he couldn't continue strengthening his Agility for now, Lin Yuan allocated the remaining two attribute points to Strength and Constitution respectively.

[Strength: 12→13]

[Constitution: 12→13]

The enhancement of the three attribute points immediately made Lin Yuan feel the difference.

The increase in Strength and Agility not only made him run faster and jump higher but also greatly improved his reaction speed and body coordination.

Furthermore, the strengthening of his Constitution allowed his joints and ligaments, like his knees, to withstand greater impact force.

Even if he failed the action, the injuries sustained would be less severe.

The slight strain he had in his hand earlier seemed to have healed considerably, no longer stinging painfully.

If he were to perform that scene again, his success rate should have increased significantly.

Re-evaluating the success rate of the action scene just performed, Lin Yuan inquired with the system in his mind.

[Danger level of this action scene: D, Host's success rate: 90%.]

[Danger level of this action scene: C, Host's success rate: 50%.]

As expected, it had improved. The next time he performed an action scene of this difficulty, he would be much safer.

Lin Yuan estimated in his heart that the action scenes performed by Brother Jackie Chan during his peak were at most only slightly stronger than C-level in terms of danger.

How much more suicidal would it take to be considered a higher difficulty?

However, Lin Yuan's current physical condition was barely enough to complete a C-level difficulty. Higher difficulties were irrelevant to him for now, so he didn't dwell on it.

Lin Yuan pushed open the truck door and got out, only to see a group of staff members rush over and surround him.

"Lin, are all you Easterners this magical?"

"You were practically possessed by Jackie Chan just now! You're going to be the next legend!"

"Quick, give me an autograph! In the future, I can tell my friends that I witnessed Lin's rise from the very beginning."

Facing the enthusiastic praise from the crew members, Lin Yuan smiled and thanked them one by one.

At this moment, Vin Diesel squeezed through the crowd and hugged Lin Yuan tightly.

"Damn it, I almost lost you! Don't do that again next time!"

"Uncle, I can't breathe."

Lin Yuan pretended not to notice Vin Diesel's reddened eyes.

He was already taller than his uncle; he had to forge his own path like a man, cutting through obstacles, and could no longer hide under his uncle's protection.

"Let's go, the director wants to talk to you. You're about to get lucky, no, this is what you deserve, you earned it yourself." Vin Diesel pulled Lin Yuan along.

Director Cohen watched the two of them with a smile and came forward proactively this time.

"Lin, you've surprised me so much. I have to increase your screen time, so you'll be incredibly busy for the next few days. Let's reshoot your scenes quickly."

"Is that appropriate?"

Lin Yuan originally only wanted to add an action scene for himself to gain a little more attention.

But Director Cohen decided to directly revise the script and significantly increase his character's role.

This was a huge favor. The filming was almost finished, and it was supposed to wrap up tomorrow. But now, because of the added scenes for him, they had to film for several extra days.

"It's necessary! Otherwise, in the cinema, the audience will definitely curse me, the director, for not giving you more shots. I would never make such a foolish mistake."

A director is a director; his words were beautiful, and the favor was delivered so gracefully.

"Thank you, Director! For the upcoming filming, feel free to order me around!"

"You're thanking me too early. Wait until we've finished filming, returned to New York, and I give you another surprise. Then it won't be too late to thank me then," Director Cohen said, a smile all over his face.

"I will always remember your appreciation and help," Lin Yuan replied.

"You deserve better resources. I'm really looking forward to seeing you take flight," Director Cohen encouraged, patting Lin Yuan on the shoulder again.

Vin Diesel, standing nearby, smiled happily. He knew Director Cohen currently held Lin Yuan in high regard and planned to use his connections to introduce Lin Yuan to new film crews.

They would definitely be big productions, but he just didn't know which movies they would be.

More than ten days later, when Lin Yuan completed all his filming tasks and returned to his home in District 26, New York, it was already the end of October.

The release date for The Fast and the Furious was scheduled for around May or June of next year. Although Lin Yuan wished it could be released sooner, he knew it was already quite fast.

Fortunately, his other film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, was set to premiere in North America in the next couple of days, so he wasn't just sitting around waiting for time to pass.

In a few more days, he would be busy again. On one hand, he needed to cooperate with the promotions for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and on the other hand, he had to connect with the new film crews Director Cohen had introduced.

Before this new wave of busyness began, he had a very important date to keep.

A few days prior, there had been a significant temperature drop. The North American continent, lacking east-west mountain ranges to block them, allowed frigid air from the Arctic to sweep unimpeded from the Great Lakes region all the way down to the southernmost tip of Florida.

"It suddenly got quite cold, but the maple leaves have also turned red. It's a great season for an outing. I should go and fulfill that date."

Lin Yuan drove the used car Vin Diesel had gifted him to Louis Pasteur Middle School 67 in Queens (hereinafter referred to as MS67).

This was the middle school Lin Yuan had attended, but he didn't get out of the car to go inside. Instead, he was waiting for someone to appear.

In his previous life, he had regretfully missed his chance with her, and the two eventually drifted apart.

Lin Yuan stayed in America, facing a life full of hardships and difficulties. In his middle age, he became permanently paralyzed and bedridden.

She, however, had developed exceptionally well after returning to China, starring in numerous popular dramas and films such as The Story of a Noble Family, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Chinese Paladin, and The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Lin Yuan knew she was extremely popular in China and was known online as the "Celestial Fairy."

Originally, they were people from two different worlds, and the childhood affection they shared should have long since faded with the passing years.

Yet, during Lin Yuan's illness, she still did her best to provide him with financial assistance.

Out of pride, Lin Yuan refused her kind offer and abruptly cut off contact.

But as he was dying, even though he could no longer open his eyes, he still felt her presence as she came to his bedside to bid him farewell.

When he fell into darkness before his rebirth, the song she softly hummed echoed in his ears.

"The promise we made growing up, so sincere, the endless past we talked about…"

"And I can no longer tell if you're friendship, or love that slipped away…"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but hum Jay Chou's "Sunny Day" again. This song wouldn't be released until '07, but it didn't stop him from humming a few lines given his current mood.

A reunion after a lifetime apart, Lin Yuan felt a myriad of emotions.

As he anticipated, a beautiful figure ran out from the school...

Thanks to the book friend [Stranger Who Does Not Pass Fire] for the reward.
