76: Everyone was stunned by Xu Lu's skill! Grandpa Ge exclaimed: "A master thief! This is incredible!"

That segment that gave Director Feng such a headache.

It takes place on a train, a showdown between the lone wolf thief played by Wah Zai, and Uncle Li, the Pickpocket leader played by Grandpa Ge You.

In it, Wah Zai first demonstrates a technique of exquisite force control, using a cup to place a hard-boiled egg inside. The cup spins continuously, and eventually, the entire eggshell peels off.

Uncle Li's subsequent move is to hold an egg between his index finger and thumb of one hand, rub it against the table, and while it spins, use the nail of his pinky finger to peel off the entire shell.

To quote Little Ye, played by Reba in this drama, it's called 'Uncle Li peels raw eggs,' so the difficulty factor is naturally higher.

This is also why Director Feng was scratching his head, and had even prepared to go to Hong Kong Island to find a special effects master for help.

At this moment, everyone gathered around, and Xu Lu stood in front of the table in the middle, a raw egg already in his hand.

If this had happened before, although Xu Lu possessed many skills, such a delicate technique would not have been easy to achieve.

But now with Thievery Mastery, peeling an egg is no difficulty for him.

This skill of his was originally extracted from the movie 'A World Without Thieves,' and it not only includes many thieving techniques and methods, but also hand movements and observational skills.

"Watch closely!"

Xu Lu shouted, attracting everyone's attention, then he pinched the egg and slid it across the table from left to right.

The raw egg began to spin rapidly between his two fingers.

Just seeing this scene, Director Feng's eyes lit up. Yes, this was the effect he wanted!

He just didn't know about the follow-up... As this thought just arose in Director Feng's mind, Xu Lu's pinky finger began to flick continuously.

With a light tap of his pinky nail, he cracked a small opening on the egg, and then small fragments of the shell fell off one after another.

Everyone present held their breath, afraid that even a slightly heavier breath would cause the spinning egg to stop.

10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds... To everyone's surprise, the egg between Xu Lu's fingers spun for an exceptionally long time, and the speed at which his pinky peeled the shell was also quite fast.

As nearly half a minute passed, with the last small fragment of eggshell falling, a peeled raw egg appeared before everyone.

Hiss!

A collective gasp sounded throughout the room, followed by thunderous applause.

"Little Xu, this move of yours truly stunned all of us. It's amazing, exactly what I wanted!"

Director Feng had just spoken when an expression of annoyance appeared on his face, and he slapped his thigh, sighing:

"Alas, I forgot to film it just now. If I had known Little Xu had this level of skill, I should have set up the camera!"

On the other side, Wah Zai also clapped repeatedly, saying:

"Lu Zai, well done. Your skill at peeling an egg with one hand is even better than mine with two..."

"Brother Lu, you're amazing. Can you teach me how you peeled that egg so quickly?"

Wang Baoqiang spoke somewhat dumbfounded, his eyes filled with envy and admiration.

Uncle Li, oh no, Grandpa Ge You smacked his lips and said:

"Young man, why do I feel like you're the real Uncle Li here? Your technique is too professional! This is a master thief!"

Reba also opened her small mouth wide, her eyes widened in disbelief, saying:

"Xu Lu, when did you learn this? I thought I was seeing special effects just now!"

"Just a small trick, nothing to see here!"

Xu Lu made a feigned bow to everyone, then turned back to Reba and whispered:

"I know a lot of things. How much do you, Little Girl, know about me to say such a thing?"

Reba immediately rolled her eyes at him, and said with a 'look of disdain':

"Hmph! It's just peeling an egg, look how smug you are!"

Xu Lu winked at Reba, then looked at Director Feng and said:

"Director Feng, it's still not too late to set up the camera. As long as there are eggs, I can continue peeling!"

Director Feng immediately complied, directly instructing the crew to start working, first shooting the close-up shot of 'peeling the egg'.

And this guy really didn't hold back with Xu Lu, filming several takes from various angles.

So much so that after filming this close-up shot, basically everyone present had a raw egg peeled by Xu Lu in their hands.

Because this thing was too rare, everyone was reluctant to break it.

Of course, the ultimate destination of these eggs was definitely the crew's dinner, where two extra plates of scrambled eggs appeared.

And Xu Lu, who had already left 'A World Without Thieves' and was heading to 'ghost blows out the light', naturally wouldn't enjoy the fruits of his labor... "It's tough, brothers, I just finished filming one drama, and now I have to rush to the next crew without stopping!

What, I have money? Ahem, having money is one thing, earning more money is another. I'm a person with ideals..."

Given that he hadn't streamed for a while recently, and after he arrived at the 'ghost blows out the light' crew, he probably wouldn't have much time again.

So, during the journey, Xu Lu started a live broadcast, chatting with his viewers to pass the time and maintain their relationship.

Of course, he mainly answered fans' curiosities, such as the imperial seal incident a while ago.

Although the resourceful netizens had almost dug out the inside story, when Xu Lu, the person involved, spoke about it, the effect was completely different... "So, those Experts are really something else. I kindly showed them my carved handicraft, and when they saw it wasn't a real antique, they immediately called the police."

The high-speed train just arrived at the station, and Xu Lu, pulling a small suitcase, got off and summarized irritably.

Hearing that this guy self-reported being invited for 'tea' again, the netizens in the live broadcast room almost burst out laughing:

[Hahahaha, Streamer is really unlucky, he's become a regular at the police station, actually getting invited for tea!]

[But this Streamer guy didn't explain some things clearly. Why couldn't the Experts tell if his carvings were real or fake?]

[Yeah, either those Experts are trash, or this Streamer guy is good at counterfeiting, pick one!]

...[Speaking of which, Streamer, you haven't drawn for a long time? You're a drawing Streamer, why are you always neglecting your proper work?]

[Hehe, if you ask me, the paintings Streamer drew before now have collection value.

On one hand, they are indeed well-drawn, and on the other hand, this guy is not short of money now, do you think he will still sell paintings?]

[Hiss! Hearing you say that, I regret it so much, why didn't I buy one of Streamer's paintings before? So much regret!]

[Hahahaha, I really have a discerning eye. I have two of Streamer's original paintings, but I'm not selling them, hehehe!]

...Watching the discussions in the comment section, Xu Lu realized that he really hadn't painted for a long time.

At that time, the Painting Mastery skill earned him a lot of initial capital, otherwise, he wouldn't have had money to find bargains on Antique Street... And before, when he streamed, he would always show off some talents, but now it's pure chatting, no wonder his follower growth has slowed down.

However, just then, Xu Lu saw a scene not far ahead, and his eyes lit up, saying:

"Friends, aren't you complaining that I, your Streamer, haven't been painting lately? Although I won't be painting today, I'll show you something even more interesting, watch closely!"
