Chapter 318 Intermediate Talent And The Second Bronze Ability!

Su Yang was speechless.

He counted with his fingers and calculated. 15,000 per hour… That’s 120,000 for 24 hours!

‘It’ll cost me 120,000 to use this intermediate talent!

“My God.’

Su Yang felt like the description for it being kryptonite was inaccurate. Using that skill was more like burning money.

If it were turned on, it’d be like you were burning money every single second as the ashes of your burnt notes scattered in the wind.

Still, that 50% reduction in time consumption seemed to make it worth the cost!

Post-production work usually took months or years. Cutting that time in half would save just as much, if not more money than what it cost to use the ability, right?

The post-production work can easily take months or years, which cuts the time in half and saves about the same amount of money as opening up capabilities, right?

“The additional effect of this intermediate ability is really awesome.

”Seems like I can get a talent because of three identical tasks…’ While Su Yang had that in mind, another prompt appeared from the system. (Random ability from six options. Bonus ability related to Intermediate Ability Granted: Industry Leader.)

“Another intermediate ability? That’s awesome!’

As he got excited inwardly, he tapped on the skill to see what it was all about.

Description: When leading a post-production team, they won’t be able to help themselves from believing in you as they follow what you’re planned out for them. This effect will be in force regardless of trust or relationship levels.

“Huh? Is this… The legendary halo of awesomeness?

‘With this, everyone will think I’m awesome!

‘However… It’s limited to this industry.”

If it were an ordinary ad-hoc post-production job, a single person would barely be able to make it. However, for large-scale movies like these, an entire team had to collaborate for it to get done.

Su Yang recalled a large-scale movie utilizing a tonne of special effects taking 8 hours just to render a single frame. Rendering the entire film took them a total of 1 million hours.

It required them to have a large cluster of computers that simultaneously performed difficult calculations to reduce the time consumed.

This was where his talents for post-production would become extremely useful. ‘Saving half the time and making the team listen to me… It’s going to blow up! ‘How much would I save?’ At this moment, there weren’t that many special effect films in China that were comparable to those in Hollywood, mainly because of funding and the talents required.

‘With both these problems solved, I should be able to form a large special effects company!’

Su Yang would consider shooting a special-effect movie to practice his skills if “Fighting the Buddha’ was profitable.

“Didn’t Little Deeny say that there were a bunch of people chatting with her on Douyin that wanted her to help them with special effects? However, since she didn’t know who they were, it was left at that.

Time was running out so he didn’t have time to continue blindly thinking. Su Yang took a look at the Lucky Disfiguring Brick’s countdown. ‘It took about ten minutes for me to accept the bronze ability and the lipstick’s interface still hasn’t appeared.’

It might seem like time was running out but it was all in his plan!

Su Yang withdrew his gaze and called up the system interface once more. Without hesitating, he tapped on the rewards for the second Bronze Mission. He was ready for his second bronze ability.

At the same time, in Hangcheng, a woman was looking at a computer in a bedroom in a residential building. She looked to be in her forties, and her eyes already had fine crow’s feet that no makeup could hide.

If an employee of the (In) Company saw her, they’d realize that she was the company’s marketing director.

When the woman took a look at the time, it was already 0:40 a.m. She yawned and was about to go to sleep after turning off her computer but her phone suddenly buzzed as it rang. In fact, she was under immense pressure at work and was a little vulnerable mentally, causing her to suffer from insomnia to some extent. To avoid getting disturbed by a ringing phone at night, she usually set the mode to vibrate before heading off to bed.

However, the sound of the buzzing phone still shattered the calm in her mood as she became extremely irritable.

She took a look at the phone and sighed when she saw the word ‘Sun’ written on the called ID.

In her opinion, she began feeling increasingly busier as an employee as technology became increasingly advanced. The boss would be on her back when she was going to the bathroom, going back after work, or just as she was about to sleep.

She truly thought that going back to the old ways of communicating back in the day was much better, especially when only pigeons and letters were available. Once she returned home from work, the pigeons wouldn’t be able to find her and by the time the letter arrived at her home, she’d probably already be at work. She still had a smile on her face and answered the phone, “Hello, Director Sun. Good evening.” Director Sun’s voice was heard over the phone with unconcealed excitement, “Director Yu, you’re still awake.”

In her heart, Director Yu thought. ‘How can I pick up your phone when I’m asleep?”

However, she replied, “I’m working overtime even when I’m home.”

Director Sun encouraged her, “Not bad, not bad. You’ve worked hard.”

Then, he got down to business. “I’ve got it! The technical department in our company was working overtime today and finally, they found illegal content on the Find Me app!

“Although it was well hidden and was put up by a very early user, it was still a violation! We’ve won the battle!

Director Sun’s voice was full of spirit and excitement!

Director Yu hurriedly flattered him, “Director Sun, you’ve really got a great mind for strategy and can win from thousands of miles away!”

Director Sun replied triumphantly, “Okay. Take a look and get to work again. Let our partners post a draft of our discovery and put it on the search engines to make sure anyone looking for the FInd Me app sees this! Make it spread so far out on the internet that everyone knows about this!

What else could Director Yu say? She could only reply accordingly, “Okay, Director Sun, I will do it now.”

Hanging up the phone, Director Yu sighed, yawned, edited a WeChat, and sent it to a few of his subordinates, asking them to contact the media, along with microblogging sites and their people on WeChat to continue speculating about the Find Me app topic.

The reason was unclear, but several of Director Yu’s subordinates replied with a question mark and asked, “Director Yu, is this your decision or the company’s? Do you really want to do that?”

Director Yu squinted her sleepy eyes, feeling that these subordinates were a little peculiar. However, she still said, “Yes, do it. Don’t worry, it’s CEO Sun’s idea.” As soon as she said that, several of her subordinates had no more objections.

Then, she turned off her computer, washed her hands, and went to sleep.

Soon, the news that the (In) app was also offering a reward of ten million dollars to find any offending content exploded all over the Internet!

WeChat, Weibo, and major news sites all began to republish the news.

At the same time, they were also bundling the [In] app and the Find Me app in a promotion, comparing them to the twin stars of tech.

At this time, Director Sun had already finished washing up and went to sleep feeling proud.

However, Director Yu’s WeChat message was still flashing on her subordinates computer.

Get press releases, ads, and hype the (In) app by using millions of dollars to reward those who find illegal information. Make it even hotter than the Find Me app was yesterday. I want the coverage to be similar to what the Find Me app has.

If Director Yu didn’t go to sleep and read her WeChat message, she might find that she had accidentally typed ‘(In) app’ instead of ‘Find Me app’ because she was sleepy.

Because of this, she conveyed the exact opposite of what Director Sun was trying to convey!

Her original intention was to be a little lazy and use the media coverage of the Find Me app as a way to continue to promote it so it could be more popular than it was yesterday.

However, she accidentally misspelt the name of the Find Me app as her own company’s name, which led to her subordinates misunderstanding the meaning…

While Director Sun was proud of the fact that he found the offending content in the Find Me app, the news about the 10 million yuan being offered in the (In) app was making its rounds on the internet as well.

However, they neither had Little Deeny nor any form of AI…

At that moment, Su Yang didn’t even know all of these things were happening. Even if he had known, he’d just think that the (In) app had a screw loose in their heads.

He was fully focused on completing what he had planned with his four points during his “Lucky Period’.

He clicked on the second Bronze Mission he had completed as planned: Help Chu Xia solve her problems.

As he clicked on the task, the system prompted him.

(View reward?]

Su Yang tapped om (Yes]

The system prompt came up again. (Completed Bronze Mission. Bronze Point obtained. Please add a point to any of the three random abilities.)

Su Yang prayed for some useful abilities!

When the prompt ended, an option box appeared in front of Su Yang with three options.

Painting ability

Painting ability

Painting ability

Su Yang was speechless.

He thought that this was probably a useful ability.

After all, there were various types of paintings such as oil paintings, drawing, ink paintings and more which all fell into the same category.

”Since the system never lies, the Painting Ability shown should probably be a collection of abilities in one field, right?’

Scared of the system, Su Yang doubted his judgments. However, the system confirmed his choice like it did earlier while he was still guessing. This time, the system didn’t trap anyone. Just as Su Yang thought, there were more than ten kinds of painting and drawing abilities. Ink painting, oil painting, mural painting, gouache painting, cartoon production and all the related knowledge trees swarmed into his brain!

Su Yang felt like he was going crazy! There was so much information going into his brain that he didn’t feel like he could digest it!

He felt incomparably sluggish. It was like his head was overloaded, and it was about to split open to the point where he felt like he was about to pass out.

Before he had even gotten over the surge of information, a prompt appeared before him again.

And just when he hadn’t gotten over it, a prompt box popped up in front of him again: Randomly obtained bonus talent from three identical abilities. Bonus talent obtained. Elementary Talent: Titanic Specialization.]

“Titanic Specialization?

‘What is this?”

Knowing that every second now was a race against time, Su Yang endured his headache and tapped on it.

Titanic Specialization: When you draw a person of the opposite sex who’s nude in front of you, your sketching ability will be at a master’s level.

Su Yang was speechless.

This… This rascal! Where would this opportunity come from?!’

Su Yang was unable to think about it because he felt like his head was going to explode!

He took a look at the countdown on the Lucky Disfiguring Brick, and realized he only had 2 minutes left!
