12: Chapter 12 The Top Female Star's Exclusive Tent!

"Handsome? Little handsome! Are you alright?"

An anxious call came from beside his ear.

Lin Chen woke up from his meditative state.

Opening his eyes, he saw the female shop assistant standing beside him, her face full of concern.

Lin Chen frowned slightly: "Is something the matter?"

The older shop assistant breathed a sigh of relief: "No... nothing. I saw you standing here without moving for a full two hours and was worried something had happened to you. Young man, don't lose hope when facing difficulties; every obstacle can be overcome."

Listening to the 'big sister's' heartfelt advice, Lin Chen was speechless and had no desire to respond to this unnecessary enthusiasm.

He was filled with shock deep down.

He felt like only a short while had passed, but in reality, two hours had gone by!

The comfort brought by Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation was so intoxicating that he completely lost track of time.

"Thanks for your concern, I'm doing just fine."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, turned around, pulled out the 'Tongxuan True Scripture,' and continued to bury himself in grinding for experience.

The gains from these two hours of Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation were astonishing.

Although it wasn't exaggerated enough to kill a cow with one punch, the visible improvement already made him ecstatic.

Moreover, he discovered a massive benefit.

Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation not only strengthened his physical body but also enhanced his mental power!

This meant that the number of skill books he could learn each day would increase significantly.

Next, Lin Chen frantically swept through the bookshelves.

The shop assistant was left aside and could only leave while looking back every few steps.

She kept feeling that the handsome young man was becoming better looking, and he was exuding a comfortable scent that made people want to lean in close.

"Ding! Mastered 'Dongling True Scripture,' experience +64."

"Ding! Mastered 'Taiping Scripture Saint Monarch Secret Edict,' experience +57."

"Ding! Mastered 'Chang Qingjing Scripture,' experience +58."

...

"Ding! Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation skill leveled up!"

[Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation (Grandmaster-level, 25 / 1 billion). You are a Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation practitioner, and your level has reached perfection.]

After grinding frantically for an hour, Lin Chen touched all the Taoist scriptures on the nearby bookshelves.

He finally pushed his Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation to the Grandmaster level.

There were no more books to grind to level up further.

He had tried Buddhist scriptures and foreign bibles, but the Universal System didn't react at all; clearly, not every book worked.

Additionally, seeing the long string of numbers on the panel, where it required 1 billion experience to reach the next level, Lin Chen was speechless.

Even if you added up all the Taoist scriptures in the world, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Regrets aside, being able to reach the Grandmaster level was already a huge profit.

Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation was a complete rebirth.

It didn't require concentration, nor did it require staying still.

The breathing rhythm had already become muscle memory.

Whether eating, walking, or sleeping, it was automatically absorbing energy to strengthen his body at all times!

He took out his phone and glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock.

He still had to go to the Film Crew at noon to cook for his two stunning wives.

Putting away his phone, Lin Chen returned to the medical section, and while he was full of energy, he swept through the remaining dozens of medical books.

[Universal System]

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Skill: Culinary Arts (Grandmaster-level). You are a top-tier master chef, capable of cooking every delicacy in the world.]

[Skill: Medical Arts (Grandmaster-level). You are a master physician, possessing the art of miraculous healing.]

[Skill: Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation (Grandmaster-level). You are a top-tier Qi Cultivation practitioner, and your level has reached perfection.]

[Skill: Combat (Beginner). You are a third-rate fighter, knowing a few fighting moves.]

Looking at the gradually filling system panel, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

...

Outside the bookstore.

The scorching sun was overhead, and the temperature was a few degrees higher than yesterday.

The street was like a giant steamer.

Women put up their parasols, and men were sweating profusely from the heat, quickening their pace to duck into the shade.

Lin Chen walked slowly along the street, neither using a parasol nor quickening his pace.

The scorching sun that others were desperately trying to avoid caused him no discomfort at all.

This was the heaven-defying benefit brought by Grandmaster-level Qi Cultivation.

Because breathing had become an instinct, he was absorbing energy to strengthen his physical body at all times.

He could now completely withstand extreme cold and heat, as his body could automatically regulate its temperature.

While others were hot as dogs, he only felt the sun shining on him as warm and very comfortable.

Strolling along the street towards the Film City, Lin Chen stopped when passing a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

Although he wasn't afraid of the heat, today was indeed a high-temperature day.

He planned to buy some medicinal herbs to go back and brew some cooling herbal tea for his two delicate and beautiful bosses.

It wasn't that he was willing to be a simp to serve women.

Having lived two lifetimes, he didn't even know how to spell the word 'warm guy,' it was purely because his hands were itching.

Just like with Culinary Arts, once Medical Arts reached the Grandmaster level, his mind was filled with god-level recipes, and he couldn't help but want to find opportunities to show off his skills.

The cooling herbal tea he brewed himself would absolutely crush all kinds of drinks on the market in terms of taste and heat-relieving effects.

Honeysuckle, Prunella vulgaris, licorice, chrysanthemum, Microcos paniculata...

Lin Chen bought two large bags in one go.

As long as the herbs didn't get damp, they could be stored indefinitely, and he could brew them every day from now on.

By almost twelve o'clock noon, Lin Chen finally strolled to the filming base of 'falling goose long fly.'

The security guard at the entrance had seen Lin Chen at the hotel yesterday and knew that this was the miraculous husband who was being pursued and forced into marriage by five top-tier actresses.

The security guard didn't even ask and let him through with a smile.

The Film Crew was in the middle of intense work.

Walking inside, in an antique-style mansion, Yang Mi and Dilraba were filming a scene together.

The scene was quite interesting.

Because the camera only shot their upper bodies, the two wore heavy and complicated ancient costumes, with their makeup meticulous.

But the lower bodies that the camera couldn't capture were an entirely different, extremely alluring sight.

The weather was too hot, and the costumes were as thick as quilts.

The two stunning beauties simply lifted their long skirts, tied them in a messy knot around their slender waists, revealing two pairs of unhidden, snow-white long legs.

Below the waist, Dilraba was only wearing a pair of tight, black, ultra-short base layer shorts, with her full, round peach-like buttocks squeezed tightly.

Her two fair, tender, and straight long legs were wide open, which was very eye-catching.

Yang Mi was even more uninhibited, wearing a pair of flesh-colored tight boxer shorts.

Her plump, snow-white thighs were completely exposed to the air, with a layer of glistening sweat hanging on her skin, shimmering with a smooth and alluring luster under the studio lights.

The two recited their lines with great emotion.

Their upper bodies were dignified and noble ancient goddesses, while their lower bodies were hot, sexy ladies; this strong contrast could simply kill a man.

Lin Chen didn't disturb them, standing on the periphery with his hands in his pockets, quietly watching their long white legs.

A lot of money was poured into this production, with over a hundred employees just for moving equipment.

Adding in various actors and extras, the entire set had three or four hundred people, making it very noisy.

A few minutes later, this scene was finished.

As soon as the director shouted 'cut,' over a dozen assistants and makeup artists immediately pounced on them like wolves and tigers.

Those holding umbrellas held them up, those with small fans fanned them, and someone even shoved a straw directly into the mouths of the two great beauties to feed them water.

Dilraba had sharp eyes and spotted Lin Chen at a glance through the crowd.

She excitedly raised her fair, tender arms and waved back and forth.

Yang Mi also discovered Lin Chen and immediately lowered her head to give a few instructions to her slightly chubby assistant, Liu Xiaojiao.

Liu Xiaojiao nodded and turned to trot towards Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin, Sister Mi and Sister Reba still need to reshoot two scenes. Sister Mi asked me to take you to the resting area to enjoy the air conditioning first."

Although Liu Xiaojiao was older than Lin Chen, she knew the special relationship between this man and Yang Mi, so she addressed him as 'brother' very naturally.

The resting area was set up in the shadow of a high wall at the edge of the set, consisting of a row of tents and various parasols.

Here, the hierarchy of the Film Crew was fully displayed.

Enclosed tents with vertical air conditioners were the highest treatment, and there were only three in total.

Below that were ordinary tents with a few large electric fans, and further down were parasols that were open on all sides.

As for the lowest-ranking extras, they could only go to the corners of the walls or under the eaves to steal some shade.

As the biggest investor and female lead of this play, Yang Mi naturally occupied the first-class air-conditioned tent.

Dilraba was the female lead number two, and since she was a top-tier young starlet herself, she naturally benefited from this as well.

Liu Xiaojiao lifted the curtain and led Lin Chen into their exclusive tent.

As soon as he entered, a blast of cool air hit him.

Inside, there were not only folding nap beds and soft chairs but also a small refrigerator and a water dispenser.

Throughout the enclosed tent, there was a special fragrance belonging to Yang Mi and Dilraba, which made one's heart itch.
