Upon seeing the new content following the " Three Kingdoms' Jia Xu in the City " world, Ling Yi's eyes immediately lit up.

Does the lifting of restrictions on Personal Space in the world mean...?

Without a second thought, Ling Yi immediately clicked the [Click to Enter] button in his mind.

The next moment, Ling Yi's figure disappeared from the tent.

After returning to the " In the City " world, Ling Yi went straight to the warehouse and stored all the Spiritual Qi jade stones in his Personal Space.

Then, without lingering, they returned to the real world.

Seeing the mountain of Spiritual Qi jade stones in his Personal Space, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.

He then wanted to try to see if he could bring these Spiritual Qi jade stones back to the " School Belle " world.

But the system notification that popped up immediately left Ling Yi stunned.

"Ding! This world can only be entered once per month. The countdown will automatically reset at the Yueyue."

Clicking " In the In the City " again yields the same prompt.

I didn't expect the system to have this kind of limitation.

I wonder if this time limit will be removed once the progress reaches 100%.

But isn't a month a bit too long?

At the rate he's creating a new world every day, the value of these two worlds will likely be greatly diminished after a month.

Moreover, who knows what might happen in the world of the novel in just one month?

Should I pause it? The " School Belle " world can be paused, but the " In the City " world doesn't need it. Otherwise, how will Shang Nuoqing collect Spiritual Qi jade for him?

"Fine, since we can't enter the world of the novel, then... let's look at the script."

Ling Yi grabbed the script from the table and quickly flipped through it.

Perhaps due to the blessing of the Thunder Dragon Bloodline, Ling Yi not only possesses extremely high talent in cultivation and exceptional comprehension, but also has a Photographic Memory memory.

Ling Yi read the entire script for ten minutes and then memorized it completely.

Ling Yi doesn't understand the script, but he understands the story.

To be honest, the story itself isn't particularly outstanding; it's just average.

The movie is called " Imperial Guard " and tells a completely fictional historical story.

The film Protagonist Xin Ming as Hong Xue, making it a female-led movie.

Cheng Dalei is the male lead, Ling Yi is the second male lead.

However, the combined lines and screen time of the two of them did not amount to as much as Xin Ming's.

Ling Yi, the so-called second male lead, only has fifteen lines throughout the entire series, and his total screen time probably doesn't even exceed ten minutes.

The film tells the story of the conflict between the Jianghu and the imperial court.

Ling Yi plays the role of Xin Ming's senior brother, while Cheng Dalei is Ling Yi and Xin Ming's the Final Master in the drama.

This the Final Master is ambitious and wants to control the imperial court through the Jianghu.

Xin Ming was the emperor's Imperial Guard, utterly loyal to him. In order to stop her the Final Master's conspiracy, she secretly contacted her senior brother Ling Yi, hoping that the two of them could join forces to kill their ambitious the Final Master.

The senior brother played by Ling Yi is a Old Liu who takes advantage of the chaos, but he also harbors ambitions.

He planned to reap the benefits after his the Final Master and junior sister were both severely injured.

Of course, the Final Master and senior brother did not end well in the end. The story ended with the Final Master being killed, the senior brother and junior sister fighting to the death, and the senior brother being killed in the end.

That's the gist of the story; Ling Yi didn't find anything particularly interesting about it.

However, Jianghu Kung Fu Hustle movies, the story isn't always that important; as long as the main plot is clear and logical, that's enough.

The focus is still on the action scenes.

The next morning, director Gao Zheng planned to have Ling Yi do a short film to see what Ling Yi's natural talent was like.

Then adjust accordingly based on the actual situation.

Ling Yi was called to the dressing room at six o'clock to try on clothes, put on makeup, and wear a wig...

Ling Yi was completely bewildered and at the mercy of others.

The key issue is that he really has no experience; he just follows whatever others do.

When Ling Yi walked out of the tent used for makeup, everyone's eyes lit up.

Ling Yi already had a good figure, but with the transformation from the Thunder Dragon Bloodline, it became even more perfect.

Dressed in a white robe and carrying a long sword, coupled with the dust-removing properties granted by Spiritual Power, he looked like an immortal descending to earth.

Gao Zheng frowned; Ling Yi's outfit was simply perfect.

But it is precisely because it is too perfect that it is imperfect.

In the movie, Ling Yi plays the Eldest Senior Brother, a scheming villain, but Ling Yi's appearance is too upright.

However, Gao Zheng didn't say anything, deciding to wait and see how Ling Yi fared in the first scene.

" Old Cheng, how about you and Ling Yi go over this first shot?" Gao Zheng asked Cheng Dalei.

"That's not a good idea, he's a newcomer after all." Cheng Dalei said this, but his eyes were full of expectation.

"Don't be too forceful. You said yourself, he's a newcomer," Gao Zheng said with a smile.

The reason for having Cheng Dalei and Ling Yi act together was to test Ling Yi's quick thinking and reaction skills.

If Ling Yi can't even get past this hurdle, then he's not suited for this line of work, and he's not suited for this industry.

Even if you get in, you won't Great Accomplishment much.

" Ling Yi, you'll be acting opposite Old Cheng in a bit."

"Okay, Director Gao, which part?" Ling Yi was still dizzy.

"Regarding the part where the Final Master Liao Peng is seriously injured, and you take him to hide from the soldiers in the cave—by the way, where's your script? Didn't I give it to you yesterday?"

Ling Yi pointed to his head. "Director Gao, it's in my head!"

Gao Zheng didn't speak, but a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He felt that Ling Yi was trying to fool him.

But he didn't say anything. Anyway, the contract hadn't been signed yet, and what he was afraid of was that Ling Yi was unreliable and left Jade Emperor for maneuver.

Ling Yi didn't notice Gao Zheng's expression; he had no idea how to act.

Ling Yi couldn't help but think of Lin Zhe from the " School Belle " world.

Lin Zhe is the villain, especially in the later stages. Lin Zhe becomes extremely corrupted, almost to the point of Madness. In order to kill the Protagonist Gao Feng, he even gambles the fate of the entire Lin Clan.

Ling Yi had played Lin Zhe before, although only in the first half and before he had fully turned evil.

However, Lin Zhe, who hadn't completely turned to the dark side, happened to have a personality that was quite similar to his Eldest Senior Brother's.

Ling Yi only needs to figure out Lin Zhe's style.

" Ling Yi, Old Cheng, are you ready?"

Seeing the two nod, Old Gao, sitting behind the camera and looking at the two in the lens, shouted, "3, 2, 1, Ekko!"

In that instant, Cheng Dalei's aura changed completely.

Cheng Dalei instantly transformed into a severely injured figure, sitting sideways on a Shitou, his gaze wary and cold as he looked at Ling Yi.

Ling Yi was also looking at Old Cheng, a Taunt on his lips.

" The Final Master, I think you've gone down the wrong path."

"Tell me about it!" Old Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice neither hurried nor slow.

"The emperor has quite a few troubles. The eldest prince An Cheng, holds military power and has not returned to the border, partly to defend the territory and partly to garrison troops and await an opportune moment."

"The Second Prince, An Ying, has already brought the Guard Army under his control. Once he starts an uprising, no one in the capital will be able to stop him."

"The Third Prince, An Guo, may seem unlearned and incompetent, but he secretly Lian Chao. Most of the people around the emperor are his men."

Ling Yi bent down, leaned closer to Cheng Dalei, and said with a mocking expression, "That emperor has neither soldiers nor generals now. What he hears and hears is only eight parts false and two parts true. How much power can he possibly have?"

"It's like a business deal. You don't bet on the person who will bring you the greatest future benefits, but instead control a powerless and useless emperor. The Final Master, you're really Tianzhen."

Cheng Dalei sat up straight, squinted at Ling Yi, and slowly asked, "If you were to do it, how would you do it?"

As expected of a veteran actor, his subtle expressions and gestures are just like the Final Master from the movie stepping out of the screen. Although the people around him have seen Cheng Dalei's performance many times, they are still amazed every time.

But Cheng Dalei felt something different at that moment.

Is this kid really acting for the first time? How come he seems so natural?

Also, this kid seems completely unaffected by his own aura.

He's acted with many actors, and even some established veterans who have starred in numerous productions are intimidated by him, but this kid...

Sure, that's impressive.

" The Final Master, my dear the Final Master!" Ling Yi took a few steps closer and pointed at Cheng Dalei.

"Do you really think the court doesn't know what you've done? Do you really think the three princes don't know? Apart from the emperor, who is practically under house arrest in the palace and knows nothing, many people do know."

"Right now, many people want the emperor dead. You and that foolish junior sister are nothing more than pawns being used by others."

Cheng Dalei was taken aback. Damn it, this kid changed the lines? But since the director hadn't yelled "cut," he naturally couldn't stop.

Moreover, he felt that changing the dialogue elevated the entire storyline considerably.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Jianghu is always the Jianghu, and no matter how big Jianghu, it can never be bigger than the imperial court.

How could the imperial court not know what's going on in the Jianghu?

Or rather, the entire Jianghu is merely a pawn of the imperial court.

"Ha, do you really think I don't know? Over the years, all the troubles in the Jianghu have been Shadow by the imperial court. The Jianghu has long lost its Jianghu essence."

" The Jianghu has now become the court's Jianghu, no longer the Jianghu Jianghu of its own."

Ling Yi clapped his hands and exclaimed, " The Final Master, your awareness has certainly made me think highly of you, but you haven't done enough to escape the fate of being a pawn."

Cheng Dalei stood up, his gaze fixed on Ling Yi, and said, word by word, "I'll ask you again, if it were you, what would you do?"

Ling Yi smiled wickedly, "Since so many people want the emperor to die, then the emperor may as well die."

Cheng Dalei lowered his head, seemingly Ling Yi's words and gathering his emotions.

After a while, he started laughing. The laughter rose from a low chuckle to a wild, unrestrained laugh. Although it was a loud laugh, it sent chills down one's spine.

At first, the people around Cheng Dalei thought he was laughing out loud, but as the laughter grew louder, they realized that Cheng Dalei was using laughter to express his emotions at that moment.

People admired Cheng Dalei, saying that he had truly brought the Final Master to life.

"Haha, good, good, my good disciple, I truly underestimated you."

At this point, Cheng Dalei's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "When the emperor dies, the court will inevitably fall into chaos, and the world will inevitably fall into chaos. Do you know how many people will die?"

Ling Yi smiled brightly, " The Final Master, we're the bad guys!"

At this point, the master and apprentice exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"Cut!" Gao Zheng stood up abruptly and shouted loudly.

He then excitedly pumped his fist and started clapping. The people around him reacted, and applause instantly resounded throughout the area.

" Cheng Dalei, Ling Yi, Xin Ming, Old Wang, come with me to the tent, I need to revise the script!" Gao Zheng called out.

Soon, the group returned to their tent.

Everyone stared at Ling Yi as if he were a monster.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, it's creepy," Ling Yi said weakly, feigning surrender.

"You were born for this." Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes.

"Tell me, why did you change the lines?"

"Um..." Ling Yi just felt more comfortable saying it that way, that it fit the character's setting, and that it was reasonable, so he said it that way.

Had I made some major mistake that's considered taboo for newcomers?

"You've done a great job. I've always felt the script lacked some depth in its story, but your changes have elevated the entire story by more than one level. It feels right right right now. Tell me your thoughts."

Let him say it, Ling Yi wasn't afraid at all. He didn't want to be in the entertainment industry anyway. Others respected these directors and big stars, but Ling Yi genuinely didn't care.
