By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 130 Successive Rewards [68 words!]

Chapter 130: Consecutive Rewards [6.8 words!]

The senior coach who followed was now trembling.

To be honest, for a skater of his level, it's easy to skate down an advanced slope without making a single mistake.

But someone like Li Younan, who didn't slow down at all and, in many places, not only didn't use arc-shaped movement to control the angle and speed, but instead rushed straight down, and finally used difficult side flip jumps to avoid obstacles, and all of this was random and improvised, is something he wouldn't even dare to imagine doing, let alone actually doing it.

Of course, this is not the reason why he is still feeling lingering fear, but simply because... he almost failed to keep up with Li Younan just now.

For experienced skiers, there are techniques to descending advanced slopes. No matter how steep the slope is, as long as it is a legitimate commercial ski run, it is theoretically possible to ski down it as long as you control your speed.

But I needed to film Li Younan, and he was skating too fast.

Fortunately, this senior coach had tried skating at a slightly faster speed before, which allowed him to barely keep up with Li Younan.

But once you pick up speed, especially when other skiers start appearing in front of you on the slope, the difficulty increases.

So compared to Li Younan's calm and collected demeanor amidst the thrills and excitement, all that remained for him was the thrill and excitement.

Fortunately, probably due to the surge in adrenaline, he neither lost track of Li Younan nor encountered any accidents.

After completing such a challenging task, the excitement was indescribable, and even the coach couldn't help but want to shout out loud.

But more importantly, he now realizes that the seemingly ordinary skater in front of him is actually a true master.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the image of Li Younan doing a side somersault to avoid obstacles in front of him. It was so cool, so professional, absolutely professional.

With a mixture of excitement and admiration, the senior coach took Li Younan's sports camera and returned it to him.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Could you give me a copy of the videos inside?"

Li Younan blinked, took off his goggles, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I need to use this video to edit footage. I can't give it to you until the video is officially released."

The other person was slightly disappointed, but also expressed understanding, and then said with some knowingness, "Are you a skiing social media blogger?"

Li Younan smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm just a travel blogger."

"Travel blogger?" The other person's expression became a little strange. With Li Younan's skill level, why would he want to be a travel blogger? He could make a lot of money just by skiing stunts.

He took out his phone and asked, "What's your ID? You've got a loyal fan now."

For Li Younan, fans are something she can accept as many as she wants, whether it's 1 or just one or two.

I took another photo with the other person, and that completed the main task for today.

Li Younan sent Chen Rui a message, telling her it was over and that she should pack her things and take the cable car down.

……

Chen Rui was controlling the drone, and she could clearly see Li Younan's condition in the footage.

After clicking the back button, Chen Rui repeatedly confirmed that the footage of Li Younan sliding down the slide had been captured.

After the drone flew back, she couldn't help but click on those videos again to watch them.

The silence was deafening.

Before Li Younan slid down, she had imagined all sorts of possibilities.

Although I knew that Li Younan could ski and had never fallen, I still couldn't quite believe that he could be so composed on such an advanced slope.

Today was originally the last day of the planned course, so it's understandable that Li Younan wanted to experience the advanced level.

So, the most likely scenario is that Li Younan will continue to use the same method he used on the beginner slope, slowly gliding down, and when he encounters a particularly steep slope, he might even lose control and fall once or twice.

However, given his cautious nature, even if he fell, the damage would be limited. He then edited out the less flattering shots and used them as video footage.

However, from the moment Li Younan took that first step, the plot completely exceeded Chen Rui's expectations.

Just like filming a blockbuster movie, Li Younan completely changed his previous leisurely skiing style, describing it as lightning fast.

On straight sections, use high-frequency snow-scraping turns, constantly raising snow mist; on sharper curves, drift at extremely high speeds while keeping your body weight firmly on the skis, leisurely touching the swirling snow with your hands... This is the real snow-scraping technique, both cool and stable, completely unlike my own bent-over, stick-out posture.

The most frightening things were the two high-difficulty moves that were clearly beyond the reach of ordinary players: one was leaping into the air to avoid obstacles, and the other was using a side somersault to avoid obstacles.

She saw it very clearly on camera at the time. When Li Younan rushed forward at that speed, there was no room for her to dodge. She was so nervous that she almost cried out. She never expected that he would get through so smoothly in that way.

After the initial shock came a lot of questions. He was clearly a skilled skier, so why was he so slow and leisurely at the beginning, and why did he never demonstrate these skills?

Although Li Younan also boasted, calling himself a "zero-degree artist," his demeanor clearly suggested he was just bragging.
Did you mislead yourself into thinking he was bragging?

Humph.

Chen Rui neatly packed the drone into her backpack, her eyes gradually brightening.

The most likely possibility is this: first, create the impression that you're not very good at skating, making people mistakenly believe that you're not that good, and then unleash a big surprise on the last day to scare them.

It made a deep impression on me.

Chen Rui packed all her things, put them in her backpack, and boarded the cable car.

She chuckled softly. In this respect, Li Younan had indeed succeeded; he had really given her a big scare.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief when she thought of the scene that day when Li Younan pulled her away to avoid being hit by the people rushing down.

In the few days she spent with Li Younan, she noticed that the emotions that used to bother her were not completely gone, but they were definitely appearing less and less frequently.

I felt incredibly at ease.

When skiing, I am completely absorbed, carefully sensing the speed, the danger, and the wind. This is an experience I have never had before.

Thinking back on the things that happened in college, they don't seem so important anymore.

The two events were clearly unrelated, but her experience during the trip over the past few days completely influenced her understanding of academics, which was quite strange.

And this trip isn't over yet.

……

Li Younan, of course, didn't take the cable car; he slid straight down to the bottom in one go.

While waiting for Chen Rui to come down, he began to check the task rewards given by the system.

Animal identification skills +1

[Animal Identification Level 1: Animals are mainly divided into two parts: the edible parts and the inedible parts]

Looking at the description of this skill, Li Younan was speechless for a moment.

This should be a skill similar to the previous plant identification skills.

Right after checking the skill rewards, a flood of knowledge, like a steel imprint on my mind, rushed into my head, and it took me several tens of seconds to digest it all.

Although the description of this skill is a bit far-fetched, the knowledge gained is quite substantial.

He had information on every living organism that had been studied on Earth at the time, and even some unnamed animals, probably those that the scientific community had not yet discovered.

Although those animals didn't have names, Li Younan knew their main habits and characteristics.

The information on common animals is even more detailed, including which animals are protected in which countries and what they are called in different countries.

This is indeed a very good skill. Li Younan thought that if he went to the wilderness in the future, in addition to digging up some wild vegetables on the mountain to cook and eat, he might also be able to find some mobile protein sources that are not protected animals to fill his stomach.

Then I remembered that I was skilled in archery, and compound bows are legal competitive sports equipment in China, so I could buy them without any special permits.

However, according to Li Younan's knowledge, the maximum weight of a compound bow used in competition is no more than 60 pounds. If a bow with a higher weight is needed, it will need to be custom-made.

For Li Younan, a 60-pound compound bow was enough to shoot a small rabbit at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, but the force was far below his ability. An 80-pound bow would be the most suitable for him, so he had the idea of customizing a compound bow.

After waiting for a while, Chen Rui finally came down.

She jogged over to Li Younan's side and said, "I got the photos! I got them all!"

Li Younan nodded: "Okay."

Then Chen Rui snorted and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good skater. I thought you were about the same level as me."

Li Younan laughed heartily.

After the two packed their luggage, Li Younan sent the skis back directly. The skis were a bit too bulky, and it was really inconvenient to travel with them.

Next, they need to return to Changchun.

After boarding the bus, Chen Rui was indeed a little tired from the past few days' journey, and soon she fell asleep in her seat.

After a while, she tilted her head and leaned on Li Younan's shoulder.

Li Younan didn't mind and took out his tablet to discuss some details of the video with JK Long.

All the footage shot today was sent to JK Long. As usual, JK Long remained silent for a long time after watching the video, which made Li Younan think that he had already logged off.

Just as I was about to put away my tablet and take a nap, JK Long sent me a message saying, "I didn't know you could ski, and you're so good at it."

Li Younan chuckled and said, "Skiing isn't difficult at all. You can ski smoothly in about a week. I also know parkour, so doing somersaults and such is all common to me."

JK Long didn't pay much attention to Li Younan's explanation, but said, "It's rare that you used so many angles in this video."

In fact, besides the drones following him from the sky, coach Li Younan also used his mobile phone to shoot some first-person perspective videos.

These materials would be useless to Li Younan, but given to the professional JK Long, with three different camera angles, the room for him to showcase his skills is incredible.

In addition, Li Younan has been filming videos during this time, including the scenery along the way when he first arrived. These videos can be edited into a high-quality video that covers everything from the introduction and experience to the final skill performance.

With such great material, JK Long certainly wouldn't waste it. He said, "After I finish editing this video, I'll wait a bit while I go talk to a few good business deals."

Li Younan said OK.

Given his current number of fans and the quality of his videos, the price per ad is already quite high. JK Long hasn't accepted any ads for used cars or used car recycling. In his words, "There are too many of these annoying ads on video platforms. If you accept those ads, it will lower your image. I definitely need to get you some more high-quality ads to make money."

For this short video, JK Dragon plans to collaborate with some sports drink brands. Although Red Bull is undoubtedly the most influential, to be fair, while Li Younan's video does have some dangerous and exciting parts, it is still far inferior to similar videos sponsored by Red Bull.

After all, the track has only so much potential. What Red Bull's prowess is not their actions, but the inherent danger of those unexplored downhill mountain runs.

Red Bull won't work, but some burgeoning new sports drinks desperately need exposure, so they might as well try their luck.

The beverage industry is a highly profitable sector, but it also relies heavily on brand value generated through advertising and exposure, and companies are willing to invest heavily in advertising.

After JK Long went off to attend to business matters, Li Younan went to sleep with a clear conscience.

……

In the room, the girl finished her milk and quickly typed on the computer, sending her request to the only other person with the same profile picture in her friend list on WeChat.

After a while, the phone rang, and a magnetic but somewhat helpless voice came through: "You really know how to cause me trouble."

The girl paused for a moment and said, "Didn't you say a while ago that the electrolyte drink you were working with had this kind of demand? This is perfect." The other person paused for a moment, then sighed slightly, "You even bought him a DJI drone, something worth tens of thousands of yuan, without even blinking an eye."

The girl said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don't have any other expenses, so I think I can stop taking that medicine."

Hearing this, the other person was visibly surprised: "Do you feel any better?"

The girl sighed softly, slowly walked to the window, gently pulled back the curtains, and said, "Brother, now when I open the curtains to look outside, I don't feel so uncomfortable anymore..."

"The human mind is a really strange thing. My situation is not like a physical illness. When your hand hurts, you know that your hand hurts, and when your foot hurts, you know that your foot hurts. If your hand hurts, you treat your hand; if your foot hurts, you treat your foot."

“When I used to feel unwell, my whole body felt uncomfortable, and I couldn’t breathe. It felt like something was stuck in my throat… Many times, I felt like my life was about to end.”

"I used to watch videos from travel bloggers, and while they were quite interesting, they never gave me that immediate feeling of comfort..."

"But that guy is different. I think the reason is because I got involved in his trip. Isn't that amazing?"

“Every time I watch his videos, I feel like I’m there with him.”

"Every time I stay up all night making videos, I use up so many brain cells and refer to a lot of videos and even movie footage. Sometimes the rendering process suddenly crashes and I have to start all over again. But, even though it's a very frustrating thing, the more excited I get, uh, not weird..."

"Exactly, the more I invest in this, the stronger my sense of involvement becomes, and... the less afraid I am, brother, do you understand?"

"So, he took off on his first trip with my drone and filmed such cool videos. I was very happy. I didn't think it was a waste at all. On the contrary, I was very happy because I knew that it was filmed with the drone that I sponsored."

After hearing the girl's words, the person on the other end finally had nothing to say, and their tone became slightly more relaxed: "If that's the case, I'll be happy, and I'll talk to the client about the cooperation."

"But, to be honest, your commission is too low."

"whee."

The girl smiled nonchalantly.

It's a sunny day outside today.

……

Tonight I'm staying in Changchun, the capital city of Jilin Province. As is typical of the system, there's naturally a designated checkpoint there.

After my last visit, I went straight to Beidahu Lake. I can visit it when I have time next time.

Compared to Anhui, Changchun is much more famous.

Many keywords popped into my head, such as FAW and Changchun Film Studio.

The must-see spot in Changchun is the Changchun Film Studio Memorial Hall.

Li Younan glanced at it online and found that it was a place that locals rarely went to, but tourists were very likely to visit.

Changchun Film Studio has produced many classic films, especially those about the War of Resistance against Japan and the revolution.

Go for a stroll, broaden your horizons, it's quite interesting.

However, there's no need to film any videos.

Li Younan doesn't mind visiting historical and cultural sites; learning about history and broadening one's horizons are also part of traveling.

The check-in points provided by the system may not be particularly interesting places, so you can't expect to be completely satisfied with every check-in.

You can also watch movies at the Changchun Film Studio Memorial Hall, which is quite nice.

After leaving their luggage at the hotel, it was still early when Lan Yiyi sent another message, asking when Li Younan would arrive.

Li Younan briefly explained his plans for the day, then thought for a moment and said, "Come over tomorrow."

Lan Yiyi said no problem, she would come to the airport to pick up Li Younan and the others.

It's worth mentioning that Li Younan will still bring Chen Rui along on his upcoming trip.

However, Chen Rui definitely couldn't stay until Li Younan left. Chen Rui was still a student, and her time back in China was limited. She could only stay for another week or so before having to go back.

This trip is purely for leisure, and Li Younan doesn't intend to cause Lan Yiyi too much trouble. She will take care of her own food and lodging when she arrives.

Lan Yiyi was originally a warm and hospitable person, and when she learned that Li Younan was going to bring his younger sister along, she showed great enthusiasm.

It was already 1 p.m. when I went out. It was already a bit cold in Changchun in November, but the weather was pretty good today.

Li Younan and Chen Rui visited the Changchun Film Studio Memorial Hall and watched a movie.

It was already evening when I came out of the movie theater.

Li Younan once again received a reward for checking in at the memorial hall.

However, this reward made Li Younan chuckle a little...

[Chinese Swordsmanship Skill +1]

[Chinese Swordsmanship Level 1: You have mastered all the techniques and essentials of Chinese swordsmanship. In a society governed by law, please focus on performance!]

This skill description is really...

A moment later, Li Younan also became serious.

He knew very well that the skill the system had given him was not the kind of martial arts swordsmanship full of fantasy elements, but a sword routine that ordinary people could master through a lot of practice.

Although the skill description emphasizes performance, it definitely possesses strong practical combat capabilities.

Swordsmanship is the most difficult of all weapons, with countless variations in its movements and routines. Li Younan has now mastered all the routines, and can execute each move with the elegance and grace of a master swordsman.

But Li Younan was also well aware that, given the system's nature, the next level should be to simplify complexity and no longer be bound by routines and techniques.

It doesn't really matter. After all, in a society governed by the rule of law, swordsmanship isn't very useful in actual combat. Rather, its performance aspect offers more room for development.

Being good at swordsmanship is cool, and because it's a skill granted by the system, you won't regress even if you don't practice.

After acquiring this skill, Li Younan felt even better.

During dinner that evening, Chen Rui noticed that Li Younan was in a good mood.

She slowly took out her phone, scrolled to Li Younan's video homepage, and said, "By the way, you haven't posted that video yet."

Li Younan nodded and said, "It's still being edited."

Chen Rui asked curiously, "Do you have a team? Are there other people helping you with the editing?"

Li Younan nodded and casually said, "I have a dedicated video packaging designer who I work with."

Chen Rui thought for a moment and said, "I also took a video editing course in college. If you need it, I can help with the editing. Oh, and..." she added, "Of course, I won't charge you."

At this point, Chen Rui couldn't help but smile.

Chen Rui is a very independent girl.

To be honest, this trip was quite expensive, both in terms of airfare and hotel expenses.

Sometimes when they eat out, Li Younan will offer to pay the bill, but Chen Rui will immediately treat him to a meal elsewhere.

Li Younan didn't agree, but she did chat with Chen Rui about the topic: "You also took directing as an elective. Do you like movies?"

Chen Rui nodded and said, "Physics and movies are my two greatest joys in life. When I'm reading books on physics, especially astrophysics, I often think that it would be really interesting if those things could be shown through cinematic language. Oh, by the way, do you watch science fiction movies?"

Li Younan thought for a moment: "Like Iron Man?"

"What the heck? Isn't that a fantasy movie?"

"Ha...that doesn't seem very accurate."

"I find movies like 'Interstellar' and 'The Wandering Earth' quite interesting. Although some details don't hold up to scrutiny, they meet my expectations for science fiction films."

"Would you like to make a sci-fi movie like this someday?"

"It's just a hobby. I haven't thought that far ahead. Compared to movies, my more important task right now is to finish my studies. Besides, I'm a pure science student, and movies are, after all, more of an art form..."

“You can give it a try…” Li Younan encouraged. “Guo Fan, Jiaozi, and Feng Ji all have science and engineering backgrounds. Filmmaking is a systematic project, especially with the development of the times, this trend is becoming more obvious… Science and engineering students who have long been in contact with systems engineering have systems thinking, which gives them a clear advantage when making modern films.”

Chen Rui was somewhat surprised and seemed thoughtful.

The dishes that followed were, to be honest, quite ordinary. Chen Rui commented on them, and Li Younan picked up where she left off, starting with the ingredients used to analyze why the taste was so different.

Unlike when chatting with others, Li Younan half-jokingly used language that only science students could understand, such as the chemical properties of monosodium glutamate and the denaturation time of proteins.

Most people would probably be dozing off by now, but Chen Rui listened with great interest, laughing heartily: "Scientific analysis of cooking..."

"Speak human language to people..."

"?"

"Uh... I mean, talk to science students in a science-related way."

A pleasant day has come to an end.

……

Dusk falls.

grassland.

winter.

Lan Yiyi is playing with something really cool.

Mount your horse and draw your bow.

The young man at the horse farm stared intently at the target.
