Tian Yingxiong's love rival was dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, all three of them were down?
One was clutching his crotch, another was holding his eyes, and the last one was covering his arm.
"You're fucking despicable!"
The love rival charged forward, and the other two were about to join in, but Tian Yingxiong grabbed their legs.
The love rival rushed in front of him, and Lin Chudong waved his hand, his left hand still concealing a handful of dirt, which he threw directly, making the guy unable to open his eyes.
Lin Chudong leaped high and smashed a brick down.
Bang! The brick cracked, and the love rival, clutching his head, staggered and sat on the ground.
The remaining two were basically useless. Tian Yingxiong was also getting worked up, holding onto their legs tightly, preventing them from moving.
Lin Chudong threw a punch, landing it on the jaw, and knocked him out instantly.
In about ten seconds, Lin Chudong had taken down all six of them. The only ones who could put up any resistance were the love rival and the guy who got his arm bitten.
But by now, Lin Chudong's ferocity had terrified them. Originally, +4 physique was already impressive, making him resistant to hits and giving him great strength.
And he fought so dirty, kicking the groin, poking eyes, biting people, and throwing sand. He would do whatever it took.
Lin Chudong walked over to his love rival, grabbing his collar.
"You were pretty cocky, huh? Fight me, come on!"
A look of terror appeared on the love rival's face. "Big brother, my name isn't Charlotte..."
"Cut the crap! If you ever touch my brother again, I'll make sure you don't even know how you died!"
The love rival's expression shifted slightly. Seeing Lin Chudong's face up close, he suddenly exclaimed in terror.
"You're that law professor!"
Even though they weren't that interested in the entertainment industry, Da Fei's lectures on law were extremely popular, and they'd seen some of the funny clips.
Lin Chudong sneered, "You recognize me, huh? Heard me talk about justifiable defense, right? Go on, hit me. Why aren't you hitting me? Think I won't use self-defense to get rid of you?"
The love rival's face turned ashen. "Big brother, I don't dare. I won't provoke you guys again..."
Tian Yingxiong stood up, clutching his arm and said.
"This is the last time. You've hit me, and I've hit you. We're even. If you start something again, we'll see each other at the police station!"
Lin Chudong released his grip, and the others quickly got up and fled in disarray.
If you'd said your brother had this ability earlier, who would dare to provoke you?
Lin Chudong helped the limping Tian Yingxiong back to the mall.
"Old Lin, when did you get so tough in a fight?"
"I learned from the boss lady."
"Damn, I envy you. Let Big-Breasted Sister teach me a few moves when she has time. But your moves are too underhanded, not as cool as Big-Breasted Sister's."
Lin Chudong rolled his eyes, "It's good enough to win, don't be so picky."
Tian Yingxiong said, "Where are we going now? Get a room?"
Lin Chudong frowned, "I'll take you somewhere. You need to get that wound treated."
Taking Tian Yingxiong to the underground parking lot, they got in the car. Tian Yingxiong asked,
"Did you drive here to Beijing?"
"No."
"Whose car is this?"
"You don't need to know about things like that."
Lin Chudong took out his phone and called Sister Deng, wanting to take Tian Yingxiong over to get his injuries treated.
After all, it was Sister Deng's place, and he still needed her permission.
However, Sister Deng didn't answer the phone. Lin Chudong had to send her a message on WeChat, guessing she was probably recording a show.
Lin Chudong then sent Cheng Huanhuan a WeChat message, "Sister Huan, my friend Tian Yingxiong is a bit hurt. I'm taking him to Sister Deng's place to bandage it up, is that okay?"
Cheng Huanhuan replied, "It's fine, go ahead. Call me if you need help."
"Alright."
Cheng Huanhuan thought to herself, the house is practically in your name, and you're still asking me?
Lin Chudong pushed open Sister Deng's door, and Tian Yingxiong's face showed a hint of confusion.
"Whose place is this?"
"Don't worry about it, just come in and rest. Sit on the sofa and don't move around. I'll find some medicine for you."
Tian Yingxiong sat on the sofa, looking at the photos on the table, and widened his eyes in shock.
"Deng Siqing! Seriously, Old Lin, don't tell me this is Sister Deng's place?"
The table was covered in personal photos, not posters. Even a fan wouldn't have this many photos of Sister Deng.
The bookshelf displayed various trophies from hosting competitions, all bearing Deng Siqing's name!
Lin Chudong nodded. "Yep."
Tian Yingxiong's jaw dropped, utterly dumbfounded.
"You have a key to Sister Deng's place? And the car is hers too?"
"That's right."
"You've changed careers, haven't you? You're now a thief! Admit it, you broke in, didn't you?"
Lin Chudong glared at him. "Chin down. Sister Deng gave me the key herself! I stay here every time I come to Beijing. Jealous, much?"
Tian Yingxiong was heartbroken, lying on the sofa as if he had lost the will to live.
"How did you get involved with another rich woman? Hurry up and have those Mongolian strongmen take me away! This is more painful than killing me. You deserve to die!"
Joking aside, this guy was seriously injured, but fortunately, Lin Chudong was a doctor with miraculous healing skills.
He had just used the [Basic Western Medicine] he'd drawn, and now he was proficient in both Western and Chinese medicine. Sister Deng should have medicine at home.
Lin Chudong opened the TV cabinet and rummaged through it, suddenly finding a few photo frames.
Holding them in his hand, he was stunned for a moment.
Tian Yingxiong said, "Isn't that you?"
The photos were of Lin Chudong, not artistic shots, but pictures from previous performances. The blurred figure of Shen Jianbin could be seen in the background.
Lin Chudong didn't even have this photo. It seemed like fans had sent it before.
There were also several displays, all with Lin Chudong's photos, collector's editions from various periods. He didn't even have them himself.
Lin Chudong was dumbfounded. Where did Sister Deng get these photos?
And judging by the picture frames on the displays, they should be from the same batch as Sister Deng's glamour shots, meaning these photos were displayed here before?
He opened another cabinet on the other side and saw several posters, all from the past.
Tian Yingxiong was confused, "Old Lin, you wouldn't have moved in with Sister Deng, would you? You scumbag! Beast! I despise you!"
Lin Chudong ignored him, suddenly recalling what Wang Zhi had said.
Could that kid actually be right?
Sister Deng was his fan?
Although it wasn't polite to rummage through things, Lin Chudong needed to find the medicine cabinet now.
Putting the photos back in place, Lin Chudong opened another cabinet and saw an old guitar.
He took out the guitar, glanced at the autograph on the back, and his mouth twitched.
"Tian Yingxiong, isn't this the guitar I gave you for your birthday? Why is it here?"
Tian Yingxiong was dumbfounded, "Ahem... Well, you know, I was short on money a couple of years ago, so I put it on a second-hand marketplace. Some crazy fan actually bought it. I sold this guitar, which cost over ten thousand, for fifty thousand."
Lin Chudong pointed at him, grinding his teeth in anger, "You damn bastard, I shouldn't have saved you. You ripped off Sister Deng for fifty thousand, how can you live with yourself? Give that money back!"
"And all the money Qiqi donated to you last time, transfer it to me as well."
Tian Yingxiong was speechless, "Brother, Lin, Godfather, can you take care of my injured arm first?"
Lin Chudong put the guitar back. At this moment, Sister Deng called.
"Da Fei, I didn't hear the call because I was recording a show. I'm going back tomorrow. You take care of him, okay? Is the injury serious? Are you hurt?"
Lin Chudong: I have a minor injury. Sister Deng, do you have any medicine at home? Deng Siqing: Yes, in the cupboard. We have all kinds of medicine.
Lin Chudong was speechless. Who puts a medicine kit in the cupboard?
Lin Chudong: Found it.
Deng Siqing: That's good. If it's not enough, there's a pharmacy downstairs. I'll be back tomorrow morning. Will you... will you pick me up? Lin Chudong: Yes. Send me your flight number later.
Deng Siqing: Okay...
Lin Chudong found the medicine kit and bandaged Tian Yingxiong.
"You're amazing. Have you studied medicine?"
"Your godfather is so talented. You saved my life today. You should quit your job at the company and come work for me. You'd be remiss if you didn't sign a ten-year contract."
Tian Yingxiong forced a smile. "Yes, yes, you're awesome. I'll consider it when my contract expires."
Lin Chudong didn't bother with him and began to deal with the items he'd gotten from the treasure chests.
The [Advanced Card] and [No-Rules Fighting - Basic] had already been used. Now he had [No-Rules Fighting - Intermediate].
Today's one-against-six fight had a bit of luck involved; the opponents were too careless. But Lin Chudong's +4 Physique was also genuinely strong.
Mainly because No-Rules Fighting was pure street fighting. If there were weapons, use weapons; if not, throw sand in their eyes.
Prioritize kicking the groin and poking eyes. Only fight with fists if you're absolutely sure you'll win.
This skill was definitely good for self-defense.
[Basic Western Medicine] had already been used earlier. Now he understood some first aid knowledge as well as some basic medical knowledge.
Western medicine was originally divided into very detailed subjects, but the system had given him very comprehensive knowledge. Now Lin Chudong's level should be comparable to a doctor in a small clinic, and a versatile one at that.
Dealing with internal medicine, surgery, and dentistry, a little bit of everything. It's not a bad skill, but it's only Basic.
[Advanced Japanese]
This is actually useful. They're about to start filming Swordsman, and Japanese will definitely come in handy.
[Master Structural Engineer] [Master Mahjong Player] [Intermediate Calligraphy] [Advanced Skiing]
These four skills are currently not very useful. They fall into the "having more skills is never a bad thing" category. You never know when they might come in handy.
This time, opening the treasure chest cost six and a half million. It was quite painful.
But the most valuable thing was getting a fighting skill. At least he wouldn't be afraid of street fights anymore.
But the unfortunate thing is that this
[No-Rules Fighting]
really isn't very entertaining.
If Lin Chudong got something like Long Fist or Baji Quan, he might be able to make a few kung fu movies himself. If he got
[Wing Chun]
, wouldn't Ip Man just appear out of nowhere?
Unfortunately, he only got
[No-Rules Fighting]
. It's good for low-profile self-defense, but it lacks any aesthetic appeal. It might be a bit difficult to become an action movie star.
And the most unique item he got this time was the [Random Upgrade Card].
He hadn't looked at it closely before. The [Random Upgrade Card] (can randomly upgrade a learned skill; cannot upgrade Hall-of-Fame level skills).
This thing was similar to the [Advanced Card]. The [Advanced Card] upgraded items, while the [Random Upgrade Card] upgraded what he had already learned.
Relatively speaking, the [Advanced Card] was definitely more valuable because it allowed him to choose what to upgrade.
The [Random Upgrade Card] was just too random.
Should he use a [Super Luck Card] and then do a random upgrade?
After thinking about it, he decided against it. The [Super Luck Card] was quite precious, and he only had two left. He should save them.
Besides these newly obtained item cards, there was another item he hadn't used yet, namely [Intermediate Hosting].
Lin Chudong had previously planned that if he didn't get any acting or fighting skills from the ten-draw, he would use the Advanced Card on hosting.
But this time, he used the Advanced Card on fighting. There was no need to wait for hosting. He didn't have much money left, and he would need it for filming after Li Zhilin's compensation came through.
He couldn't just spend the money as soon as he earned it, then use Liang Yin's profits to invest in the next project. Even though Liang Yin wouldn't say anything, it would be a bit inconsiderate.
Before the next income stream, Lin Chudong didn't want to frivolously spend money to open treasure chests.
Who knew how much it would cost to film Swordsman?
Although the original work was low-budget, that was due to circumstances. Since Lin Chudong had some money, investing more would yield greater returns.
To say the least, the conditions couldn't be too harsh. He couldn't let the actors and staff suffer from cold and hunger.
Lin Chudong directly used the [Intermediate Hosting] skill to see which one the [Random Upgrade Card] could enhance. If the item card was held without being used, it couldn't be randomly upgraded.
Currently, Lin Chudong's greatest hope was for [Physique] and [No-Rules Fighting]. These were treasures. He had finally obtained them, and they were considered the top tier of skills in his mind.
Then the second tier included [Advanced Directing], [Basic Traditional Chinese Medicine], [Basic Western Medicine], [Intermediate Hosting], and [Advanced Magic].
These four items were a huge help to Lin Chudong. Although he was already quite skilled in Advanced Directing, who would complain about being even better?
As for the other skills, they were all in the third tier. More wasn't necessarily bad, but less didn't really matter.
Lin Chudong used a Random Upgrade Card.
Advanced Pet Training upgraded to Master Pet Training!
Lin Chudong: …
Good heavens, was it really random?
Wasn't the system supposed to give you the worst possible upgrade?
Among these skills, pet training seemed the least useful. Although he'd used it before, it was too weak. What a waste of a Random Upgrade Card.
Fortunately, it was already at the master level. At most, it would take two more upgrades to reach the hall-of-fame level. Once it reached hall-of-fame, it wouldn't be able to upgrade anymore.
Lin Chudong gritted his teeth and used the second [Random Upgrade Card].
[Intermediate Hosting] upgraded to [Advanced Hosting].
"Phew..."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. The second one wasn't too bad; it wasn't a total waste.
Using it for hosting was making the most of it.
Open the Platinum Treasure Chest! [Countdown: Fifty-three days]
[Amount needed for acceleration: 660,000]
[Amount needed for a ten-pull: 9,900,000] (A [Advanced Card] is guaranteed in a ten-pull) The next ten-pull would cost nearly ten million.
Having experienced the thrill of ten consecutive draws, Lin Chudong didn't want to do a normal draw anymore. The [Advanced Card] was a good thing.
Tian Yingxiong slept in the guest room for a night, while Lin Chudong, as usual, slept in Sister Deng's bed. He was already used to it.
The next morning, Tian Yingxiong got up early and left. Lin Chudong had a simple breakfast and then drove to the airport to pick someone up.
Deng Siqing appeared at the airport in a cashmere coat, making her already tall figure appear even more slender. She was even more beautiful than the flight attendants walking nearby.
"Da Fei, thank you for picking me up."
Although Deng Siqing was wearing a mask, her eyes were curved into crescents.
"Let me help you with your luggage."
In the car, Deng Siqing glanced at Lin Chudong's wound and was immediately startled.
"Let me bandage that for you?"
"No need, it's already scabbed over. Just a minor scratch."
Lin Chudong's constitution was now +4, his recovery ability was extraordinary. This small injury was nothing to him.
Sister Deng was distressed, "How could you be so careless!"
Lin Chudong sighed, "It was all an accident."
"Sister Deng, why do you have my photos at your home?"
