Chapter 36 New Rewards
[Check-in task completed]

[Received a random reward...]

Parkour ability +1

Li Younan stood there stunned for a long time.

Completing each daily check-in task was his happiest moment, a feeling as full of surprise as opening a blind box. Unfortunately, this time the reward still wasn't the driving skill he most desired.

Based on the information currently available, it is speculated that the system rewards skills. However, skills are involved in all aspects of life, and among so many skills, the probability of randomly obtaining driving skills is indeed not high.

However, he couldn't help but complain, "What's the use of parkour skills?" Li Younan's understanding of parkour was limited to the extreme sports videos he occasionally saw on short video platforms.

He had his own opinion about parkour; he felt that although it was cool, it was far too dangerous. As a model 21st-century youth born in the spring breeze and raised under the red flag, Li Younan wouldn't put himself in danger, even for his mother's sake.

Then came the familiar skill acquisition process. Compared to skills like sculpting, cooking, or even car repair, parkour doesn't require much theoretical knowledge. Even after he had fully acquired the skill, aside from having a few more stunt names in his head, he didn't initially feel any change.

After this little incident, Li Younan lost all desire to continue taking pictures. Besides, his camera was mainly for portrait photography, and without a special lens, the results for shooting the starry sky were not ideal.

As he put the camera back in the car and closed the door, a sudden impulse surged into his mind.

Seeing that no one was around, he took a deep breath and squatted down...

Under the moonlight, next to a Land Cruiser, a tall and slender figure inexplicably and gracefully performed a backflip.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Li Younan thought that if anyone saw this scene, they would probably find it very strange.

Mastering parkour skills doesn't mean you have to actually do parkour!
As long as you don't do somersaults in dangerous places, mastering parkour skills can actually make you safer in many situations.

Li Younan could clearly feel that his balance and reaction speed had improved significantly, and his waist and legs were stronger. In addition, the most obvious change was that he could easily control his body and complete various somersaults without any effort.

In short, his current level is roughly equivalent to that of a professional parkour athlete; any well-known parkour move is a piece of cake for him.

Under the cover of night, Li Younan did a few more somersaults near the car, and even performed a Webster's move that every real man should know.

Under the moonlit lake, his shadow looked remarkably like that of a certain famous monkey surnamed Sun.

Feeling somewhat exhausted from the ordeal, Li Younan returned to his car and took out his phone. He suddenly remembered something: he was quite curious whether the video the uncle had filmed during the day had been released.

Perhaps it was a case of what you say comes true, because when he took out his phone, the first video he saw was "A real man must know Webster's moves." Li Younan swiped past it casually, thought for a moment, then swiped back and commented under the video: "Isn't it something you can do if you have feet?"

After showing off, Li Younan scrolled to the next video.

To his surprise, it was that older man who posted it. Before he even had a chance to read the content, he saw that the video had already received thousands of likes. Wow, is this the influence of a small-time streamer?

Strictly speaking, having several hundred thousand followers doesn't make one a particularly big streamer.

The video begins with the uncle's cheerful voice: "Family, today we're not talking about recycling electronic components. Today, we're going to tell you a story about a flying elephant." The video is told from the uncle's first-person perspective, recounting his encounter with a very unique and interesting young man while camping with his friends.

The middle-aged man is well-versed in the techniques of introduction, development, climax, and conclusion, and the art of starting with a stunt and then building to a climax. At the beginning of the video, he tells his opinion of the young man from a first-person perspective: "To be honest, when I first saw this young man, I just thought he was a bit handsome, but otherwise he was nothing special."

"Then I heard him say that he planned to take a road trip across the country to create his own media content. I thought he was just a typical inexperienced young man. And from our conversation, I didn't think he was very good at creating content, so I didn't think he could become a successful video blogger. But I didn't expect that I would be proven wrong so quickly."

Next, the bearded man showed in detail in the video how his daughter picked up two pieces of marble, which the young man then processed into exquisite carvings.

At the end of the video, the man added a profound statement: "This young man used the stubborn rocks by the river and a carving knife to complete the most vivid lesson—put down the yardstick of judgment and pick up the eye of discovery. The next time I encounter an 'impractical' dream, I will remember that afternoon by the river—even in the grains of sand, there are stars."

After watching the video, Li Younan opened the comments section. The top-rated comment was, unsurprisingly, another humorous joke, featuring a screenshot of Li Younan's handsome profile from the video, captioned: "Just average, huh?"

In the comments section below, many people posted photos of a certain handsome young man with the surname Gu as Yang Guo in costume, echoing the sentiment and creating a joyful atmosphere in the comments section.

But some people are questioning: "Is this a script? How could it be such a coincidence that you would encounter a hidden master while camping?"

Of course, most of the comments were from girls: "Where is this handsome guy's account? Why isn't he a video blogger yet? Ahhh! I'm going to follow him!"

Li Younan chuckled softly as he scrolled through the comments. As an engineering student, this was a field he had never ventured into before, but now it seemed quite interesting. Sharing his life had unexpectedly evoked such a strong emotional response.

Li Younan lingered under this video for a long time, reading the comments. After a while, he put down his phone, stopped scrolling through videos, and started thinking about opening an account.

There's no need to apply for a new account. This account has never published any content, and apart from positive official media like CCTV News and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, it hasn't followed anyone else. You can just use it to create a new account.

However, when it came to actually posting the video, he felt a bit lost. Even though it was just about shooting and uploading videos, how to write the caption? How to edit it? What to post? These were not things he could immediately figure out.

Content is a very important issue that requires careful consideration.

Li Younan felt a little regretful. He should have started using a hashtag when he refurbished the car, and made it the gimmick of "A post-00s young man quit his job, spent all his savings to buy a used SUV, refurbished and repaired it himself, and started a road trip across the country." He believed that it would have attracted a lot of traffic.

However, after thinking about it, Li Younan wasn't too discouraged. He remained silent for a moment, then changed the random, garbled name of the account to "Li Younan's Travel Time".

After putting down his phone, he started planning his next stop.

JH City may be unfamiliar to many people, but Hengdian is a household name.

Li Younan had acquaintances in JH City. He had a friend from junior high who dropped out of high school and went directly to Hengdian with his uncle to work as an extra. The two hadn't seen each other for many years. After thinking for a while, Li Younan found the guy's QQ number and sent him a message.

After all, they parted ways a long time ago; back then, that guy didn't even have a cell phone. To Li Younan's surprise, the other party replied instantly: "Hey, Li Younan, I didn't expect you to message me."

"What? You're going to JH City tomorrow?"

"Damn, I absolutely have to treat you to a welcome-home feast, bro!"
