I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Su Yang’s House Is “Haunted”

“Moreover… this wound of mine is a little special, it’s in this area of my neck. The doctor said it would take at least five days before they could remove the stitches. Even then, I’m advised to strongly avoid any particularly intensive activities for the next two weeks as well.”

“However, my character in our movie is mostly action scenes, so how can they not be intense? So we’re now worried… If we really follow as per the doctor’s advice, there’s no way we’re going to be able to make this movie.”

After Wu Feng finished speaking, Lu Jian looked up and added, “Also, the doctor has said that Director Wu has lost too much blood, so he needs more nourishment and less exercise.”

Su Yang nodded and asked Wu Feng, “Brother Wu, how do you feel now?”

Wu Feng said, “My body feels a little weak. I feel that if I could originally shoot continuously for 1.5 hours previously, I’ll only be able to shoot for 30 to 40 minutes at most now.”

The shoot that Wu Feng was referring to was not the kind of shoot where normally, actors would go around acting out their dialogues, but the action scenes that he specialized at.

His action scenes required him to do all kinds of running and jumping which were all very tiring. Even though Wu Feng had been training himself continuously, including receiving professional training, he still had a hard time persevering for a long period of time.

However, due to his injury and blood loss, it looked like the time had been cut short again.

Lu Jian thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t I ask my wife to make you some chicken soup for you to nourish your body, I’ll ask her to buy some gelatin and longans while she’s at it so that you have more to eat these few days?”

Wu Feng nodded. “Alright.”

Su Yang moved a chair over and sat down. He looked at Lu Jian, then at Wu Feng and said after pondering for a moment, “Brother Wu, Brother Lu, I actually have a way to help Brother Wu recover faster.”

Their eyes lit up when they heard that.

Su Yang said, “Actually, my family members have always been working with traditional chinese medicine and I’ve been learning from them since I was young. There’s a recipe passed down from my family that can replenish people’s blood and heal wounds faster.”

After listening to Su Yang, Wu Feng was stunned for a moment before he exclaimed in surprise, “Is that true? Brother Su!”

Of the 3 people at the scene, he was the most concerned about the movie and was also the most excited. “If there really is such a medicine, name your price!”

Lu Jian was a bystander, so he was more clear-headed. He coughed and looked at Su Yang. “Mr. Su, I’m not doubting you. However, what’s the effect of this medicine?”

Su Yang looked as if he was recalling something. “I recall that someone in our village had slit his wrist to commit suicide. Then, he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. After he was stitched up, he applied this medicine and recovered in about 10 days.”

Su Yang looked at Wu Feng’s neck. “Based on your injury and the stitches applied, it should take 3 to 4 days. No, 3 days should suffice.”

“However…” Su Yang looked at them. “This is our family’s secret recipe that has never been publicized…”

He did not finish his sentence, but both of them understood and nodded. “Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.”

All Su Yang wanted was their verbal promise. With the [Absolute Verbal Contract], Su Yang was not afraid that they would not keep their promise.

Furthermore, Su Yang was not exaggerating when he said that Wu Feng would recover in a week. The reduction to 3 to 4 days was just icing on the cake.

With Su Yang’s reassurance, the three of them agreed. Hence, Su Yang went back to prepare the medicine first and applied it onto Wu Feng at night. As for the money, Su Yang did not accept it. The 3 of them had common interests, so there was no need to be calculative about it.

After Su Yang left, Lu Jian looked at Su Yang’s back view and asked Wu Feng, “What do you think about… Mr. Su? Could he be a person who spats nonsense?”

Wu Feng looked at Lu Jian and whispered, “He’s probably the most special and most mysterious person I’ve ever met.”

After that, Wu Feng told Lu Jian about Su Yang’s achievements. When he heard about how Su Yang touched ferocious sharks with his bare hands, researched artificial intelligence, and learned how to operate tanks and medical skills, Lu Jian was dumbfounded.

He paused for a long time before saying in surprise, “He actually knows so many things at his age?”

Wu Feng said in a low voice, “Actually, I used my connections in Shanghai to learn more about him and heard some rumors. There’s a rumor that… Mr. Su had a conflict with a few people with prominent backgrounds in Shanghai, but he won in the end. Later on, I heard news from the upper echelons of Shanghai that he has quite the strong background in the capital. He might be the illegitimate son of some big boss.”

Lu Jian was even more surprised. “Who?”

Wu Feng shook his head. “Who knows? But… Whoever that you think has a long reputation within the society would be a possible suspect.”

Lu Jian nodded thoughtfully.

‘If that was the case… Then everything about Su Yang knew how to operate a tank and had a secret medicine would make sense…’

…

Because of this coincidental misunderstanding, Su Yang’s miraculous feats had a reasonable explanation.

Su Yang had no idea what was going on. The only thing that he felt was that Wu Feng and Lu Jian had become more respectful towards him which made him… Even more confused.

Over the next few days, Su Yang fulfilled his promise. Every day, he would apply medicine for Wu Feng and give him medicine to drink as well. The medicine he applied on was a sticky fluid concocted with a small amount of ginseng root. As for the oral medicine, of course it would be a diluted mixture of ginseng and [Blood Replenishing Potion].

Undoubtedly, the effects of Sanque’s ginseng roots were really amazing. Even though they were diluted many times over, Wu Feng’s injuries were almost completely healed after 3 days, even the doctors were amazed.

Within the past three days, the production team had also adjusted the filming schedule with Wu Feng resuming work despite his injuries. Although he did not act, he had been working as a director on the front line.

This made the crew, who had been a little unstable before, completely calmed down.

The scene of Su Yang driving the tank was also completed on the last day. Because the 2 of them wanted Su Yang to be the main lead of Wolf Warrior 2, they specially gave Su Yang some makeup that was different from his usual style. Furthermore, the camera only focused on the side profile and did not capture his face. On the other hand, he managed to capture the entire scene and even used a close-up shot in 1 cut.

That kind of uncut scene was the most realistic and shocking.

On that day, Wu Feng also shot his first scene ever since he was injured. He stood on the greenery, surrounded by 8 tanks with 1 of the tanks’ barrel aimed directly at his face…

Wu Feng was recovering well. After putting on his makeup, there were no visible wounds on his neck.

The next day, under Su Yang’s suggestion, Wu Feng started to film some less intense action scenes. As expected, his wound was fine.

On the same day, Su Yang’s [Bronze Mission] to help Wu Feng was completed as well. This made Su Yang feel even more assured. Since even the system had proven that Wu Feng was fine at that moment, everything else should be able to run smoothly.

Now that Wu Feng had recovered, even though the crew had been through a small incident, they were back on track, so Su Yang was relieved.

Therefore, Su Yang asked Pan Zhaodi to book a flight back to Shanghai for him and he returned on the same day.

Su Yang suddenly felt nostalgic as he returned to Shanghai.

Although he did not arrange for Pan Zhaodi to pick him up, as a competent secretary, she still arrived at the airport early to pick Su Yang up.

Without any small talk or pleasantries, Pan Zhaodi naturally walked to Su Yang’s side and led him to the parking lot.

Once they got into the car, Su Yang asked Pan Zhaodi, “How are the companies doing recently?”

As Pan Zhaodi lowered her head and started the car, she said, “With the capital injection from the main company’s loan, the startup businesses have begun development and are working on building up companies in various areas, the first stop is Hangzhou.”

‘Hangzhou…’

Su Yang couldn’t help but think of [In] Corporation. ‘That company should be in Hangzhou as well, I think.

‘However, Hangzhou was 1 of the top cities in the country amongst a few other first-tier cities. It is also close to Shanghai and is affected by the radiation from various areas in Shanghai. Therefore, it would be normal for them to choose that as the first stop.’

Pan Zhaodi continued, “The equipment for the artificial intelligence laboratory is almost complete. It has been set up, but not activated yet.”

Su Yang nodded. This was specially arranged by Little Deeny. When the time came, he would personally bring Little Deeny onto the intranet and activate the equipment for her to operate.

‘She hasn’t got a body now, so she can only rely on me. I wonder when that little girl will be able to have a body of her own. Perhaps I should add a point for her next time?’

Pan Zhaodi continued, “Before you left, the tasks that you had handed over to Mr. Li and Mr. Wang to expand the film company’s special effects studio is also almost completed. This time, Mr. Li directly poached a large-scale special effects company’s department and wiped them out from top to bottom, consisting of almost 30 people. I heard that their skills are pretty good.”

Su Yang had especially instructed Li Zijun and Wang Dong to recruit people for his special effects studio after the loan had been received.

‘The special effects investment for “Wolf Warriors” is 60 million yuan, and the post-production is 10 million yuan. Although that’s the market price and the cost is not that high, There is no way I’ll be able to get it done with my ragtag team of 4 people.

‘Furthermore, the difficult part for the special effects of “Wolf Warriors” is the fight scene between humans and wolves where there will be interactions with humans which will require physical support to be shot. This is something that my current team can’t do at the moment.

‘So what should I do? Pay for it then.

‘If I don’t have enough staff? Pay for it.

‘The Silver Mission is all about spending money anyway, so it wouldn’t matter where I spend the money.

‘Now that Li Zijun has poached a team which resolves 1 of my worries, I should probably visit the special effects department when I have the time. I could use my [Verbal Cannon] ability to communicate with them and start preparing for the special effects for “Wolf Warriors”.

‘With their skills and my abilities, the special effects for the movie should be done very quickly.’

After chatting, Pan Zhaodi drove Su Yang back to the villa.

When he finally returned home after a long hiatus, Su Yang felt extremely warm inside.

He asked Pan Zhaodi about his recent schedule before letting her call it a day. As for himself, he entered his villa through the garage.

Su Yang had taken the afternoon flight, hence it was night by the time he arrived. When he reached home, it was already 7 pm and the sky had already turned dark.

When he entered the villa, Su Yang looked through the glass and saw that the lights on the first floor were on. Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi were waiting in the living room.

At first, Su Yang thought that they were waiting for him.

However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the two of them were fully armed. They were wearing thick jackets and had knives in their hands. He did not know what they were doing…

Su Yang knocked on the glass curiously.

The room was originally very quiet, but when Su Yang knocked on the glass, both of them were shocked.

Su Yang opened the door and placed the car keys at the entrance. As he removed his shoes, he asked, “What are you guys doing?”

When Tang Jing saw Su Yang, her delicate face was filled with surprise. She gulped and forced herself to calm down. With a gentle voice, she said to Su Yang, “Su Yang, your house is haunted…”

Su Yang was still changing his shoes when he heard Tang Jing’s words.

He was confused and did not know what Tang Jing was talking about.

‘Ghost?

‘Are you kidding me?

‘Not even spirits are allowed since the establishment of our country, yet you’re talking about ghosts now?

‘Nowadays, ghosts aren’t even allowed to appear in supernatural novels, so how could there be ghosts in real life?

‘Isn’t that just nonsense?’

After thinking it through, Su Yang changed into his slippers and said, “You have to believe in science. There are no ghosts in this world.”
