Chapter 192: Perfect Acting
Jian Ning agreed so quickly that the tasks popping up from the system seemed to be a beat too late.

[You once voluntarily declined an invitation from the top-tier Entertainment Sect, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Many demonic sect disciples infiltrate righteous sects, attempting to coordinate an attack from within. Your masterful acting skills are naturally an essential part of cultivation.]

[Mission: To spar with the disciples of the Entertainment Sect using your superb acting skills.]

[Reward: A quantity of all the spiritual materials needed to forge the Ark: Mechanical Crystals, Flying Shuttle Bones...]

Jian Ning's eyes lit up when she saw the reward.

It's like her wish came true! This cultivation system is so considerate. She was just worried that she couldn't find the spiritual materials to build her flying RV, which was based on the forging method of flying boats.

Jian Ning agreed to make a cameo appearance and went to change into her costume and makeup for the drama.

Fortunately, he only played a minor supporting role in a group of female assassins. One of them had a few impressive scenes with Zhang Nan, but they didn't even have any dialogue.

The martial arts instructor explained the movements for the scene to Jian Ning.

Jian Ning was about to spin around like a horizontal top, approaching Zhang Nan with her sword in hand.

Then, blocked by Zhang Nan's sword, she turned around and bent over.

Finally, the two swords collided and split apart with a crack.

The character of Jian Ning is now gone.

After understanding all the steps, Jian Ning nodded. "I roughly understand. I'll try it out first."

The martial arts instructor was from Guangdong and Guangxi, and spoke with a slight accent. He was very considerate and said, "This move is quite difficult to do with wires. Give it a try, and if you can't do it, we'll change the move."

"Okay, sure." Jian Ning nodded in response.

For Jian Ning, the wires she wore felt more like a burden.

The female assassin's makeup and styling were very simple: all black clothes, her hair tied up high for aesthetic purposes, and a face mask.

However, to look better in the show, the hair will be more flowing, and the black face mask will be gauze-like so that the face can be seen.

The first shot is a solo shot of Jane spinning and approaching.

Zhang Nan knew Jian Ning was skilled, but he still couldn't help being a little worried, as this move had a very high risk factor. Years ago, a popular actress suffered a serious back injury because of this move.

Xu Wei wanted to achieve a good filming result, but he also didn't want anything to happen to the actors, so he reminded them, "Jian Ning, be careful."

Jian Ning was ready and gave an 'OK' sign to indicate that she was ready.

The martial arts instructor was muttering to himself, "Director Xu, you're really a pervert. You tricked people into doing such difficult moves just for the sake of a good shot."

Shooting begins.

The camera zooms in on the female assassin in black standing in the bamboo grove not far away.

When everyone saw Jian Ning's eyes in the camera, they were almost all stunned.

That look in her eyes seemed to reveal her identity instantly.

Then, the camera slowly panned back, revealing Jian Ning, dressed in black, flying down from the sky.

It's important to know that being suspended by wires is no easy task; performing flight maneuvers with natural and graceful movements is a skill in itself. Yet Jian Ning descended as if she were floating on air. If it weren't for the wires behind her, to onlookers, her movements would have appeared so natural that it seemed as if she could actually fly.

Then, wielding a sharp longsword, she rapidly advanced forward in a high-speed spinning motion.

With this movement, the hem of the clothes spread out just right, like a blooming flower.

After finishing the movement, Jian Ning landed on the ground.

When Director Xu yelled "Cut!", almost everyone on set burst into thunderous applause.

From her acting skills to her posture and the execution of difficult moves, Jian Ning's entrance was simply perfect.

"Absolutely flawless." For the first time, even someone as strict as Director Xu was completely satisfied with the execution of this shot, and immediately announced, "Next scene, begin."

Even the martial arts instructor gave Jian Ning a thumbs up, saying, "Amazing, I feel you have a talent for martial arts."

Jian Ning smiled. After all, she was really worried that the "superb acting skills" part of the mission would cause a bug and prevent her from getting the reward, so she could only put in her best effort.
