Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and let the doctor treat his wounds.

His mind was focused on the 45 attribute points he had just gained.

It has to be said that the rewards for S-level action scenes are really generous, but every time I challenge an S-level action scene, I am on the verge of death.

The first instance was during the Canadian wildfires, when a fire tornado collapsed and caused a spectacular explosion.

The second was the collapse of the millennia-old ice wall of Yala Snow Mountain.

Today is the third time.

Lin Yuan had been looking forward to seeing what kind of changes would occur if all three attributes—strength, agility, and physique—could reach 30 points.

His agility and physique have now been enhanced to the limit; only strength remains as the final attribute.

However, Lin Yuan did not immediately enhance his attributes, because once he became familiar with the enhancement process, all the muscle fibers, ligaments, and cartilage in his body would be strengthened simultaneously.

The doctors are still treating his wound. They can't just suddenly start to drastically change his muscle fibers in front of all the doctors, can they?

"Mr. Lin, we're about to begin," said Dr. Joseph, the head of the medical team. "It might hurt a little, please bear with it."

"I know, you can go ahead and do it without any worries," Lin Yuan reassured the medical team.

Internal injuries can heal slowly with the help of healing abilities, but external wounds must be cleaned and cleaned in order to recover quickly.

Lin Yuan knew that his current miserable state would likely require a lot of work from the medical team.

"Thank you for your understanding, then let's begin." Dr. Joseph waved his hand, and the entire medical team began operating smoothly.

The first step in debridement is to remove any sand particles embedded in the body.

Seeing the scene before them, even the most experienced medical team couldn't help but gasp.

Lin Yuan's entire body was covered with countless striped wounds, and these wounds were densely filled with grains of sand.

"Hurry up, everyone, move faster!" After giving the instruction, Dr. Joseph took the lead and began to work.

He put on a magnifying microscope eyepiece, and the pointed tweezers in his hand gleamed coldly under the headlamp.

“On average, there are nine grains of quartz sand per square centimeter,” Dr. Joseph couldn’t help but exclaim.

Guided by the eyepiece, he precisely probed the festering wound on Lin Yuan's arm with the tweezers in his hand.

The sand grains made a faint "crunching" sound where they met flesh and blood, like grinding glass powder.

The nurse stood to the side holding a magnetic chuck, catching the grains of sand that Dr. Joseph had taken out.

These tiny particles, with hooked edges, have embedded themselves into the dermis.

Another doctor stepped forward and used a negative pressure suction device to remove the sand particles that had entered Lin Yuan's nasal cavity and ear canal. The sand particles that were suctioned out piled up together and weighed more than 2.3 grams!
The third doctor carefully scraped away the deposits on the surface of Lin Yuan's eyeball with a corneal scraper. This direct operation on the eye made Lin Yuan feel quite uncomfortable, and he frowned.

It took the medical team two hours to initially remove the sand particles of various sizes embedded in Lin Yuan's body.

Next, the debridement work entered the more difficult second step.

"It might hurt a bit more next, do you need anesthesia?" Dr. Joseph asked.

"Never mind, no need. Just come on over," Lin Yuan replied.

The main problem was that the anesthetic had no effect on him, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the "torture."

Seeing Lin Yuan's insistence, Dr. Joseph said no more and directed his team to begin the next step of their work.

"Prepare the hydrogel peeling agent." Dr. Joseph drew lines on Lin Yuan's chest with his laser pointer, the black blood clots solidified on his tactical uniform forming a bizarre mosaic with his skin.

"laugh--"

When the bio-enzyme spray comes into contact with the bloody burn area, it rises to form a jelly-like protective layer. The water-containing gel can replenish the moisture of the non-necrotic cells and alleviate the pulling damage when clothing is separated from the wound.

Once the gel took effect, medical staff used titanium alloy scissors to cut along the edge of the burn area. The sound of peeling off the tactical uniform fragments was like tearing open an old, glued photo album, sending chills down one's spine.

When they got to the back, one of the young nurses couldn't help but tear up and her hands trembled.
The steam burns created "lava flow patterns" all over his back, with blisters and eschars interspersed like a topographical map.

How much suffering must they have endured?
Dr. Joseph's eyes were also red, but his hands remained steady as he treated each patient one by one with a liquid nitrogen cryostat:

First, the necrotic tissue is frozen at -50℃, then the necrotic dermis is removed by laser, and finally a silver ion regeneration gel is sprayed on.

After finally completing the second step, Dr. Joseph and the entire medical team were drenched in sweat.

The physical exertion required for this debridement was even greater than that required for a 10-hour surgical procedure.

“This is the most troublesome part.” Dr. Joseph pointed to Lin Yuan’s left leg, where there was a thin, long piece of iron chain.

The fragment was only 1.7mm away from the femoral artery, and it has to be said that Lin Yuan was very lucky.

Otherwise, even a slight deviation could cause massive bleeding.

Now we need to be extra careful when handling this fragment.

This is equivalent to another minor surgical procedure.

Although Dr. Joseph was exhausted, he still forced himself to stay alert and cheer himself up.

Of all the doctors present, his skills were the most superb, and he didn't trust anyone else to handle the work.

"Mr. Lin, you may experience severe pain soon. Please bear with it and do not move," Dr. Joseph instructed again.

"Don't worry, I'm no hero if I lay a finger on you," Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

As he smiled and encouraged the medical team, he inwardly berated himself:
Would you consider this a Plus version of undergoing invasive surgery?
The entire process took more than 3 hours, involving scraping from the skin to the muscles with various knives.

Lin Yuan's relaxed and optimistic attitude helped the entire medical team to relax as well.

"Wow! If that's what the Source God says, then we'll have to go all out! Making the Source God unable to be a hero is something we can brag about for a lifetime."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively, and the doctors and nurses couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Dr. Joseph took a sip of the glucose solution the nurse handed him, and then began his work.

His doctor followed up closely, and together they carefully completed the surgery.

They first used a diamond-coated bone saw to cut off the fragments from the outside of the body.

Next, low-temperature saline solution was injected for internal cooling and local cleaning.

After doing all this, in order to avoid tearing the wound again, Dr. Joseph began to carefully pull it out in a reverse spiral motion.

When the 23cm piece of chain was finally pulled out with a "pop," everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Exhausted, Dr. Joseph slumped to the ground: "The rest is up to you."

"Boss, you've worked hard. Don't worry about such a small thing as bandaging!"

The medical team began wrapping the bandages with special bandages, which consisted of three layers.

The innermost layer is soaked in stem cell culture medium, the middle layer of woven cotton can effectively absorb tissue fluid oozing from the wound, and the outermost layer is a bandage to prevent infection by external bacteria.

Once the last bandage was secured, Lin Yuan looked like a pharaoh's skeleton just unearthed from a pyramid.

Mission accomplished!

All the medical staff on site couldn't help but cheer and applaud, celebrating the victory in this protracted battle.

But most of the applause was to pay tribute to Lin Yuan, who was lying in his hospital bed at that moment.

The entire debridement process took 4.5 hours, and a total of 18.7g of foreign object was removed. Don't be fooled by this seemingly small weight; for soldiers who have participated in wars, the weight of a single shrapnel removed from their bodies is likely much greater.

However, the foreign objects removed from Lin Yuan's body were mainly gravel and sand, which filled several small plates.

For Lin Yuan, cleaning each grain of sand was like being cut by a knife.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was tortured to death today.

This kind of pain is definitely not something an ordinary person can endure, but Lin Yuan managed to get through it without using any anesthetic.

If the entire debridement process hadn't been filmed with Lin Yuan's permission, everyone would have suspected they were all having a dream.

(This real medical procedure was later included in the New England Journal of Medicine under the title "A Model for Managing Trauma in Extreme Environments")
After completing the routine debridement surgery, the medical team left the site in an orderly manner.

GAKKI, who had been watching over him, and Charlize Theron, who arrived later without even having time to change her clothes, also closed the door and left, leaving Lin Yuan alone in the ward.

With the wound cleaned and all conditions met, Lin Yuan opened his attribute panel again after a long time:
【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 23 years old]

【Strength: 23】

[Agility: 30] (Maximum reached)
[Constitution: 30] (Maximum reached)
[Assignable attributes: 45]

【Legendary Talent: Life is a Drama】

【Legendary Talent: Unity of Body and Mind】

[Legendary Talent: Extraordinary Intuition]

[Legendary Talent: Extraordinary Physique]

[Skills: Master-level Swordsmanship, Master-level Knife Throwing, Master-level Boxing and Kicks, Master-level Gunsmanship, Master-level Swordsmanship, Master-level Japanese, Master-level Driving, Master-level Aquatics, Master-level Massage, Master-level Axemanship, Master-level Time Management, Master-level Horseback Riding]

It's really just the strength attribute that's missing. Speaking of which, Lin Yuan really didn't allocate many attribute points to strength.

The last time he gained strength was when he and Betty were on their way to the airport after dinner at the Adams family estate.

In order to carve out a way to survive Kane's sniper rifle, Lin Yuan increased his strength to 23 points, and never increased it again.

It wasn't that he looked down on strength, but rather that agility and physique seemed to be more practical than strength.

Now it's his turn to catch up on his studies and pay off his debts.

Lin Yuan silently began to allocate skill points:

【Power: 23→27】

[Assignable attributes: 45 → 5]

The sudden increase of 4 points in strength and the huge attribute boost made Lin Yuan's muscle fibers feel as if they were being penetrated by a high-voltage current.

He felt an itch in his biceps, as if the diameter of the muscle fiber bundles was expanding.

His back also felt tight, as if someone was pulling his muscle fibers hard to both sides at the same time.

Lin Yuan knew that all of this was the sensation of his muscles strengthening.

Leaving aside the increase in strength, the rapid muscle growth allowed him to recover more than half of his muscle injuries in an instant.

This will allow him to get out of bed and walk tomorrow morning; it has to be said that this enhancement was a real lifesaver.

Of course, accelerating the healing of injuries is only a bonus.

The real changes brought to Lin Yuan are mainly reflected in two aspects:

The first is a comprehensive improvement in strength.

At this moment, the diameter of his biceps brachii muscle bundles has increased to 8.7 cm, and the latissimus dorsi muscle unfolds to 0.43 square meters, which allows him to withstand a vertical pulling force of 1.2 tons.

When this message flashed through his mind, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

After he recovers from his injury, he will have to complete a car chase action scene here in a thunderstorm zone.

Several of the moves were extremely dangerous, and even he wasn't 100% confident in them.

However, with this increase in strength, his success rate in completing these movements will be greatly improved.

If the difficulty of this scene can be rated as S-level, the attribute rewards obtained will be enough to complete the final piece of the puzzle for his three major attributes.

The second benefit of increasing strength to 27 points is in the cardiovascular system.

After all, muscle enhancement naturally includes cardiac muscle enhancement.

The strength of the heart muscle is closely related to the oxygen supply and endurance of various parts of the body.

The system message informed him that after a 5km trail run, his blood lactate level only rose to 1.1 mmol/L, compared to 8 mmol/L for the average person.

At the same time, its muscle glycogen consumption rate is reduced by 67%, and its myocardial oxygen supply efficiency is increased to 90%.

If he had acquired such strength before filming the iron cage and quicksand scene, that scene definitely wouldn't have been so difficult to film.

Indeed, to better complete action scenes of S-level difficulty, one must have an attribute of close to 30 points to effectively reduce the risk.

After taking stock of all his gains, Lin Yuan closed the panel in front of him, closed his eyes, and entered a state of rest.

He needs to recover his health as soon as possible so that he can participate in the subsequent filming work.

……

……

For the next week, Lin Yuan was basically in a state of rest.

Charlize Theron and Immortal Joe had many scenes that were filmed in a different order, with the scenes being shot earlier in the film.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yuan could only act as a mascot at the scene, cheering everyone on.

But it must be said that the effect is really good.

He was wrapped in white bandages all over his body, making him stand out conspicuously as he walked through the khaki-colored filming location.

Wherever he goes, the crew members are filled with boundless energy, as if they've been injected with adrenaline.

Lin Yuan won over the entire new film crew with his performance, and everyone willingly followed his lead.

This made Lin Yuan wish he could immediately participate in the filming.

In fact, Lin Yuan's physical injuries had already been almost completely healed with the help of the muscle cell growth activated when his strength attribute was improved.

However, such a rapid recovery was too astonishing, so he had no choice but to continue feigning injury.

Fortunately, the scenes in Mad Max: Fury Road are relatively spread out. Even though Lin Yuan has a lot more screen time compared to the original, other characters still have a lot of scenes to film.

On the sixth day of Lin Yuan's rest, a convoy of vehicles came from afar, billowing with dust.

Standing on high ground and looking out, Lin Yuan immediately realized that this was a new supply convoy, and that Depp and Amber Heard, who had returned for treatment after being injured, should be in the convoy.

With their arrival, the film crew's shooting schedule became even busier.

But Lin Yuan also remembered something else:

Depp and Meng Tao's desert wedding should be going to happen soon, right? (End of Chapter)
