[Check-in task completed]
[Received random reward...]
[Parkour ability 1]
Li Younan stood there in confusion for a while.
Completing a check-in task was always his happiest mont, like opening a surprise box. Unfortunately, the reward this ti again wasn’t the driving skill he so desired.
Based on the information gathered so far, it seems the system rewards skills, and since life skills are wide-ranging, the probability of randomly acquiring driving skills isn’t high.
However, he couldn’t help but complain, what’s the use of parkour skills? Li Younan’s understanding of parkour was limited to extre sports videos he occasionally saw on short video platforms.
Regarding parkour, he had his own opinion. He thought it looked cool but was way too dangerous. As a good young man of the 21st century, raised in the spring breeze and under the red flag, there’s no way Li Younan would risk himself, especially to appease his mom.
Then ca the familiar skill acquisition phase. Compared to skills like carving, cooking, or even car repair, parkour didn’t have much theoretical knowledge. Even though he fully acquired the skill, aside from having more trick nas in his head, he didn’t feel much difference initially.
After this little incident, Li Younan lost the desire to continue filming. Plus, his cara was mainly for portrait shots and didn’t have special lenses, so shooting the starry sky wasn’t ideal.
He put the cara back in the car, and as he closed the car door, a sudden impulse rose in his mind.
Seeing no one around, he took a deep breath, squatted down...
In the moonlight, next to a Land Cruiser, a tall figure inexplicably and gracefully did a backflip.
As the breeze passed, Li Younan thought, if soone saw this scene, they’d probably find it quite bizarre.
Mastering parkour skills doesn’t an you have to play parkour!
As long as you don’t do flips in dangerous places, having parkour skills can actually make you safer at tis.
Li Younan could clearly feel his balance and reaction speed had improved significantly, and his waist and legs felt stronger. Additionally, the most obvious change was his ability to easily control his body to perform various flips without any effort.
Overall, his current level was equivalent to that of a professional parkour athlete; any nad trick in the parkour world was a piece of cake for him.
Taking advantage of the night, Li Younan did a few more flips near the car, even pulling off a Webster, a must-know move for a real man.
By the lakeside under the moon, his shadow resembled a famous monkey surnad Sun.
Feeling a bit exhausted, Li Younan returned to the car and took out his phone. He suddenly rembered sothing—he wondered if the video the uncle shot during the day had been posted. Li Younan was quite curious.
Perhaps it was destiny because when he opened his phone, the first video he ca across was "Webster, a must-know move for a real man." Li Younan casually swiped past it but then went back and comnted under the video: "Isn’t it just about having legs?"
After showing off a bit, Li Younan started watching the next video.
Unexpectedly, it was posted by that sa uncle. He hadn’t even looked at the content yet and saw the video had garnered thousands of likes. Wow, is this the influence of a small strear?
Actually, having hundreds of thousands of followers isn’t really considered a big-ti strear.
The video began with the uncle’s hearty voice: "Family, today we’re not talking about recycling electronic components; today we’re sharing a story about a flying little elephant."
This video, told from the uncle’s first-person perspective, narrated an encounter he and his friend had with a young, unique, and interesting gentleman while camping.
The uncle was well-versed in storytelling techniques. At the start of the video, he shared his initial impression of the young man: "To be honest, when I first saw this young man, I only thought he was a bit handso, nothing special otherwise."
"Then he ntioned his plan to travel the country in a car and do social dia. I thought he was just a typical naïve young person. From our conversations, he didn’t seem like soone who could succeed as a social dia video creator. But I didn’t expect a swift face-slap."
Next, the scruffy uncle showcased his daughter’s collection of two pieces of Dali marble, transford by the young man into a fine carved work.
At the end of the video, the uncle added a bit of depth: "This young man used ordinary stones from the riverbank and a carving knife to provide the most vivid lesson — to put down the yardstick of judgnt and pick up the lens of discovery. The next ti I encounter an ’unrealistic’ dream, I’ll rember that afternoon by the river — even in grains of sand, there are stars."
After watching the video, Li Younan opened the comnt section. The top-rated comnt was unsurprisingly a humorous quip, featuring a handso side profile shot of Li Younan from the video, with a caption saying, "Nothing special, huh?"
In the replies, many people posted makeup photos of a certain young actor surnad Gu, in agreent and humor, creating a joyful atmosphere in the comnts.
However, so people were skeptical: "Is this scripted? How could it be such a coincidence to find a hidden expert while camping?"
Of course, there were mostly girls comnting below: "Where’s this handso guy’s account? Why isn’t he a video creator yet? Ahhh, I want to follow him!"
Li Younan smiled lightly as he browsed through the comnts. As a STEM graduate, this was an area he had never ventured into, but it seed quite fun now. Sharing his life could surprisingly bring such a strong emotional experience.
Li Younan lingered on this video for a long ti, reading the comnts. After a while, he put down his phone without scrolling further and started considering opening an account.
There’s no need to apply for a new account. His current account had never posted any content, and other than following positive official dia like CCTV News and the Communist Youth League, he hadn’t followed anyone else. He could directly use it to start an account.
However, when it ca to actually posting a video, he was a bit lost. Sure, it’s just recording and uploading, but how should he write the script? How to edit? What to post? It’s not sothing that could be done imdiately.
Content is a matter that requires a lot of thought.
Li Younan regretted not starting an account when he was renovating his car. He could’ve used the hook "Post-00s youth quits job, spends entire savings on a second-hand SUV, self-renovates, and begins cross-country road trip," which would surely attract a lot of attention.
However, after thinking it over, Li Younan wasn’t too disappointed. After a mont of silence, he changed the randomized na of his account to "Li Younan’s Travel Ti."
After setting down his phone, he began planning his next destination.
Many may not be familiar with the na Jinhua City, but ntion Hengdian, and it’s quite well-known.
Li Younan knew soone in Jinhua City too. He had a buddy from middle school who, instead of attending high school, went with his uncle to Hengdian to be an extra. They hadn’t seen each other in years, so Li Younan thought for a while, found the guy’s QQ number, and sent him a ssage.
Considering they parted ways early, that buddy of his didn’t even have a cellphone back then. To Li Younan’s surprise, he responded instantly: "Whoa, Li Younan, didn’t expect you to send a ssage."
"What, you’re arriving in Jinhua City tomorrow?"
"Wow, I gotta roll out the red carpet for you, brother!"
