26: I received an invitation from "The Gate of Rebirth" and gained new skills.
The Streamer hadn't been paying attention to the live stream room; the video was posted twenty minutes ago and had already spread across the entire internet.
The person who filmed the video was that young girl Streamer from the melon field.
The young girl hid under the courtyard wall, not hearing any gunshots for a long time.
When she climbed back up to look, she saw Lin Pei dashingly throwing various knives at the targets.
In her excitement, she filmed a segment and posted it online.
Before long, Lin Pei's identity was also uncovered.
He turned out to be the direct disciple of the legendary flying dagger master, the Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger!
The internet was in an uproar.
"The young guy is so handsome; that flick of his wrist is so charming, I'm dying."
"Old Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger only took one disciple in his entire life, so you can imagine how talented this Young Man is."
"According to the records, Old Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger also couldn't throw flying daggers while blindfolded. It can be said that the student has surpassed the master."
"Isn't this the Lin Pei who played a bandit and a Human Trafficker a while ago? You can't recognize him just because his eyes are covered?"
"It really is him. He throws flying daggers so well and acts so realistically; he's a total polymath."
"I have to say, this guy has a bit of a 'controversially popular' constitution. Just a moment ago, the whole internet was saying he was about to be executed."
"No, I still can't forget the Human Trafficker he played. I'm really worried he'll just start hacking people with that knife."
"..."
...Director Li Bing, who had walked halfway into the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't afford to lose a single one of the actors he had personally picked.
Except for actual criminals, of course.
"What a huge misunderstanding. It's good that everything's fine."
"Lin Pei, the actor for your opponent in that scene has been re-selected. Shall we continue filming in a moment?"
Lin Pei smiled.
"Alright, Director."
"No need to do a screen test with that brother anymore?"
Li Bing wanted to say that the screen test was originally meant to make Zheng Xin accept the decision.
But since Zheng Xin, the Brother Lin Pei mentioned, was right there, he didn't say it directly.
Li Bing turned to ask Zheng Xin.
"Zheng Xin, do you have any more problems with the role of Action Team Leader being given to Lin Pei?"
Zheng Xin had just watched the video of Lin Pei throwing flying daggers from the Streamer and hadn't come to his senses yet.
Seeing Lin Pei, he subconsciously shrank back, and then his eyebrows slanted into a frown.
"Leader, can you teach me this too?"
"It's so cool!"
Li Bing clapped his hands.
"No problem then. Look, he's already gotten into character himself."
"..."
...After finishing a scene and returning home, Lin Pei found that he was on the trending searches again.
#The Executed Prisoner Has Been Resurrected#
#Playing with Real Knives on the Film Set, Your Big Brother is Still Your Big Brother#
#Murderer? Human Trafficker? This Man Returns with the "Little Li Flying Dagger"#
...Lin Pei's vision went dark.
What kind of ghastly titles are these?
Today, he had interrogated a Human Trafficker and demonstrated expert flying dagger skills.
Shouldn't the trending search terms be "Heroic," "Handsome," "Awesome," or something like that?
These titles have nothing to do with those at all.
Lin Pei was indignant.
To grab attention, the platforms really have no lower limit.
He was numb.
Then he gloomily opened the comments section.
"Brother Lin's flying dagger skills are so cool. Which path are you on? I'll follow you, boss."
"I didn't expect Brother Lin to use this unique skill to conquer the police and successfully avoid execution."
"I wasn't sure before, but seeing Brother Lin today, could you be the legendary leader of the Azure Dragon Gang?"
"He must have relied on these flying daggers to escape the police station after killing someone, right?"
"..."
Lin Pei felt even more numb.
What kind of people are his fans?
Are these the kind of brain-dead remarks humans should make?
Furious, he reported one... a few minutes later, his hand was also numb.
There were too many brain-dead comments; he simply couldn't report them all.
While his hand was cramping, a call came through on his phone.
Seeing it was an unknown number, he felt uneasy.
It couldn't be some underworld netizen who got his number, could it?
"Hello..."
On the other end of the phone was a sweet female voice.
"Is this Mr. Lin Pei? We are from the Film Crew of the gate of rebirth."
"We have a role for a young police officer and would like to invite you for an audition."
"Are you interested?"
Lin Pei was a bit surprised.
"the gate of rebirth?"
It's being filmed so soon?
In fact, he had discovered early on that many film and television works in this world had completely different filming sequences compared to his previous life.
In his previous life, the gate of rebirth should have been several years later than the disguiser.
But what surprised Lin Pei the most wasn't this, but that the Film Crew wanted him to audition for a police officer.
A police officer—that's a positive role!
You should know that the directors of the two films he had acted in had specifically arranged villainous roles for him.
Because his acting was too realistic, he was even mistaken for a murderer or someone from the underworld.
His comments section was almost becoming an lawless zone.
He indeed needed to play a positive role now to turn his reputation around.
And this director is really good, knowing that his inherent temperament is upright and suitable for roles like a police officer.
He really has the style of a talent scout.
Seeing that he didn't reply immediately, the woman on the other end quickly explained.
"Mr. Lin Pei, our director knows that your temperament is suitable for playing villains, and you enjoy playing them too."
"But the casting for the Film Crew is almost finished, and the villain roles are mostly settled."
Lin Pei felt his brain twist.
What the hell do you mean 'suitable for playing villains' and 'enjoying it'?
So it's because there were no villain roles left that they arranged a positive one for him.
He had really wasted his praise on this director just now.
However, the director's thoughts weren't important; what mattered was that he now had an audition opportunity for a positive role.
He had to seize this opportunity and land the role.
"If there's an opportunity, I do hope to play a positive role."
"Thank you, Director, for giving me this opportunity. I will go for the audition."
"However, I'm still filming right now. When is the latest time for the audition?"
The woman on the other end informed him of the time.
Lin Pei found that he could go for the audition after finishing all his scenes in the disguiser.
After agreeing on the specific time and place, the two parties ended the call.
A crisp sound then rang in Lin Pei's ear.
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new skill.]
Lin Pei didn't actually have much expectation.
He quietly waited for the system to announce this ghastly skill.
[The new skill is Miao Shou Kong Kong. You will possess a pair of Shadowless Hands and be familiar with all theft skills.]
[Any security door is mere decoration in front of you and can be easily opened by you. As long as you want to steal it, there is nothing you cannot steal.]
[Skill bound.]
Lin Pei's back slumped.
As expected, it's still that same flavor.
The system is inciting him to commit crimes every single time.
Possessing so many unique skills that only criminals have, Lin Pei stated that he must hold his ground and be a good person...
