Chapter 163 Super Powerful Stacking, 3 Level 3 Skills! [Second Update!]

Just as Li Younan accomplished the feat of shooting two fish with one arrow, a notification appeared indicating that the system task was completed: Congratulations on completing the daily check-in task and receiving the reward [Painting Skill +1].

Then came Li Younan's most exaggerated stacking of combo skills since he acquired the system.

[Since the host possesses photography, wood carving, makeup, and painting skills, these skills are further enhanced.]

Photography skill +2, wood carving skill +2, makeup skill +2

The dazzling array of skills left Li Younan momentarily bewildered.

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Younan gradually calmed down and thought about it, and it seemed quite reasonable—painting skills could indeed serve as the foundation for the other three skills.

Previously, these skills existed independently and did not have much interaction with each other. However, with the addition of the painting skill, these three skills underwent a qualitative change, as if they had been infused with a soul.

However, the only thing that puzzled him was that these three skills did not seem to increase the skill level of the painting skill in return; the painting skill was still at level one.

Next, Li Younan watched the introduction of four brand-new skills.

[Drawing Skill LV.1: Regardless of the subject matter, style, or technique (such as sketching, color, realism, abstraction, etc.), one can skillfully handle and accurately present the subject, creating a finished product with a single stroke, without any technical shortcomings or obstacles.]

She's not even a supermodel yet.

Although impressive, it was still within Li Younan's comprehension.

What's even more outrageous are the next three skills.

[Photography Skill LV.3: You have broken through all limitations of equipment, scene, and subject matter. Whether it's capturing a fleeting moment, shaping light and shadow, or expressing emotions, you can achieve "one shot, one soul"—if you are willing to spend time and energy to devote yourself wholeheartedly to creation, then your work has a certain probability of becoming not only a visual record, but also a timeless classic that defines the aesthetics of an era and creates a photographic genre. At the same time, your creative paradigm has a certain probability of being regarded as an unsurpassable industry benchmark by future generations.]

[Makeup Skill LV.3: You have long surpassed the realm of "embellishment" or "imitation," truly embodying the spirit of "shaping the soul with makeup." From ultra-realistic special effects makeup to groundbreaking artistic makeup, you can achieve precise execution. If you dedicate yourself fully to creation, there's a certain probability that you can produce works that not only carry profound cultural and emotional core values ​​but also redefine the artistic boundaries of makeup. Your creative concepts and techniques are enough to influence the development direction of the entire makeup industry.]

[Sculpting Skill LV.3: Achieves ultimate mastery over any material (stone, wood, gold, jade, etc.), imbuing cold materials with life and thought. When you fully immerse yourself in creation, there is a certain probability that your sculpture will not only be flawless in craftsmanship but will also become a cultural symbol that transcends time and space; the sculpting style or technique you create has a certain probability of becoming the ultimate model for countless practitioners in the future, and may even directly advance the history of sculpting art.]

After reading the descriptions of the three skills, Li Younan was completely dumbfounded.

He had only speculated that a skill would be exaggerated once it reached level 3, but he never expected it to be this exaggerated.

These skill descriptions all mention keywords such as influencing later generations and creating new schools of thought. In a sense, this is at the level of artists like Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci, who spanned hundreds or even thousands of years!

Although the skills also reflect two key influencing factors, one is that they all mention being fully immersed in the creation, and the other is that there is a certain probability.

But even those great artists who influenced later generations did not have every work that could be passed down through generations.

Li Younan realized that if he wanted, he could guarantee that he would have no worries about food and clothing by choosing any one of these three paths.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Li Younan gradually calmed down.

He also became a little curious at this point: what level could he reach if he kept checking in and lighting up the skill tree?

Now he can finally give himself a self-introduction that he can be proud of: This person is a photographer, sculptor, archer, mountaineer, painter, handsome guy...

Although Li Younan had a lot of thoughts running through his mind, it only lasted for a few seconds.

At this moment, He Gang was still pointing his phone camera at Li Younan. Seeing that Li Younan had already pulled the fish up but looked somewhat dazed, He Gang couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Li Younan snapped out of her daze, blinked, and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, I just feel a little... a little surprised."

Li Younan held the two fish in his hands—although they had been shot through and were now strung on fishing line, the fish were still alive and struggling.

Li Younan knew very well that the fresher the fish, the better it tasted. He said, "The best ingredients often don't require complicated cooking. You wait here for a moment, I'll get these two fish out first."

He Gang returned the phone to Li Younan, who then forwarded it directly to JK Long.

After finishing this task, Li Younan smiled and looked at Liu Yu, saying, "Brother, if it's really too much, let's eat first, and then we can fish slowly."

Liu Yu snorted heavily through her nose, remaining silent and ignoring Li Younan.

He refuses to believe this nonsense today.

He Gang strolled over slowly, glanced at the water, and for a moment looked amused. He said, "Hey buddy, want me to share some of my experience with you?"

Liu Yu stubbornly shook her head again, saying, "There's no need for that. I was just having a bit of bad luck today."

He Gang really wanted to say that fishing is not a matter of luck, but seeing Liu Yu's stubborn and obstinate attitude, he didn't bother to say anything more.

Compared to Liu Yu, he naturally preferred Li Younan, and Li Younan's amazing archery skills, which he had just displayed, had indeed won him over.

At this moment, Li Younan was preparing the two fish next to the car, and he excitedly went over to watch Li Younan cook.

Li Younan had brought self-heating rice with him in the car, so he could cook it with rice after he finished cooking the fish. Li Younan seemed very experienced in handling this type of mandarin fish, and his cooking methods surprised He Gang as well.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I film this part as well?"

Li Younan thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea, so he asked He Gang to help with the filming.

Li Younan and He Gang had already cooked the fish, but Liu Yu was glued to his fishing box all day. Judging from his posture, he clearly wasn't planning on coming over to eat until he caught the next fish.

Li Younan called him twice, but he said "you guys eat first" each time, so Li Younan stopped paying attention to him—everyone is an adult, and going hungry for a meal won't kill them.

Li Younan and He Gang were enjoying their pan-fried fish with white rice and soda.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, He Gang suggested that Li Younan try fishing.

Li Younan, no longer having any mission requirements, immediately agreed. Afterwards, they tidied up the mess and followed He Gang to his fishing spot.

He Gang originally wanted to teach Li Younan how to use fishing tackle, but when Li Younan directly opened the tackle and mixed the bait, He Gang was stunned.

He could tell that Li Younan was obviously not a novice. Only then did he realize that Li Younan had never said that he couldn't fish, so he wisely refrained from reminding him.

Li Younan's bait mix was similar to He Gang's plan, but there were slight differences in the proportions.

This fishy-smelling bait not only attracts large fish, but it's even more appealing to small fish. Li Younan explained with a smile, "If you attract small fish, you can also attract fish like mandarin fish and redtail catfish." As he spoke, Li Younan replenished the bait, then observed the area before confidently casting his line.

He Gang, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but continued to take out his phone to film Li Younan.

At this moment, Liu Yu, who was sitting on the fishing box not far away, naturally noticed the commotion on Li Younan's side.

He glanced at Li Younan, then gave a soft hum.

Just a moment after he hummed that, the pole moved slightly, and the slight vibration was transmitted to his hand. His eyes lit up with joy—he had been sitting for so long, and his back was aching. It had finally paid off!
He forced himself to suppress his excitement and remain calm, using his fishing rod to gently guide the fish in the water towards him.

Judging from the commotion, it doesn't seem to be a small fish.

The time was finally almost right.

Raise the rod!

He was initially pleasantly surprised, but then his brow furrowed slightly, showing a hint of disappointment. He was pleasantly surprised that he had indeed caught another fish, and one that was quite large; however, he was disappointed that this time he had only caught a crucian carp.

However, after such a long time in the Air Force, it would be quite good to have even one crucian carp.

He removed the fish from the hook and casually tossed it into the fish basket next to him.

Then, Liu Yu casually turned her head to look at Li Younan, and the next moment, her eyes widened and the muscles on her face twitched slightly.

Then, Li Younan quietly caught a fish.

What Liu Yu found unacceptable was that the fish Li Younan caught was not only bigger than his, but it was also a mandarin fish!
Li Younan smiled as he unhooked the struggling fish and casually tossed it into the fish basket.

At this moment, Liu Yu noticed that Li Younan seemed to be turning his face around, so he quickly looked at the lake and pretended not to have seen the moment Li Younan cast the hook.

But Li Younan didn't seem to have any intention of letting Liu Yu off the hook, and called out with a smile, "Liu Yu, I just caught a mandarin fish, have you caught anything over there?"

Liu Yu stared at the fish basket for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "You're pretty lucky."

Li Younan shouted, "What? What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Liu Yu sighed deeply, calming her expression, before turning to Li Younan and saying, "I said congratulations."

Li Younan chuckled: "You should keep it up too."

As he spoke, Li Younan cast his line again.

Liu Yu took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm. That guy was just lucky, and the fisherman named He Gang from earlier must have been quite skilled at baiting the fishing spot.

Don't lose your composure at this time.

When fishing for big fish, you either don't catch anything for two or three hours, or you keep catching fish one after another.

He baited the hook again and cast it back down, but immediately heard Li Younan shout excitedly, "Hey, it's on the hook again! It's on the hook again!"

Liu Yu's palm trembled instantly, and at the same time, her stomach growled.
