Chapter 91: Dancing is great, but you have to learn to dance!
[The commission is complete. Payment: Blue light blocking glasses left behind by the prodigal son (these glasses have kept their owner company through countless late nights)]
[Effects: Increases concentration by 20% while wearing, and enhances sensitivity to text, enabling faster perception of the logic and emotions behind words]
After the passion subsided, everything returned to calm. Li Yitong had fallen into a deep sleep, and Li Mo opened the control panel at that moment.
"Improving Focus"
Li Mo's eyes lit up when he saw the silver-white metal glasses in his hand. They were incredibly versatile and could be used in countless situations where concentration was required.
Li Mo even wondered if he would have been more focused if he had put on those glasses earlier.
Li Yitong must be sleeping even more soundly now!
That's a question worth considering; I'll try it next time if I have the chance.
Seriously though, actors and singers deal with words all the time.
Reading scripts, memorizing lines, and writing lyrics all require you to be fully immersed in them. Moreover, these tasks also require strong textual perception and logical thinking skills.
This is essentially providing Li Mo with a comprehensive boost!
Li Mo picked up a handkerchief from the side, gently wiped the item clean, and carefully put it away after it was clean and tidy.
Then, I went to sleep!
The next morning, just as dawn broke, the morning mist drifted over the campsite like a thin veil, and the morning light streamed into the car windows and tents.
Although it's dawn, everyone stayed up very late last night, so there's no sign of the camp waking up yet.
Li Yitong was probably the first person in the entire camp to wake up, after all, Li Mo was the second person to wake up while his consciousness was still a bit hazy.
Li Mo then felt the movement coming from under the covers.
He felt the strange sensation in his body, and slapped the blanket hard with his right hand. Sure enough, a dissatisfied groan came from inside.
I don't know how much time passed...
"Waaaaah~"
Li Yitong was poised to pounce from under the covers when she suddenly leaped out and charged at Li Mo. Fortunately, Li Mo was prepared and dodged her.
Just kidding, even tigers don't eat their cubs.
Seeing that her plan had failed, Li Yitong glared at Li Mo defiantly before limping towards the restroom.
As Li Mo watched her retreating figure, memories of last night flooded his mind.
Dancing is great! I should learn to dance!
Try wearing glasses next time, and see if it feels like you're flying.
After washing up, Li Yitong took two loaves of bread and milk from the refrigerator and placed them on the table, urging Li Mo to hurry up.
"Eat quickly, it won't be good if they all get up and see this."
Li Mo was somewhat surprised to hear this, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that this was indeed Li Yitong's style.
Despite her petite appearance, she is very strong-willed and has a clear understanding of many things.
If Meng Ziyi attracted Li Mo by her natural disposition and lack of pretense, then Li Yitong attracted Li Mo by this very contrast.
Li Mo could understand why she deliberately avoided the topic. You see, some things, even if they are true, can be the most hurtful to say.
For example: I'm in the prime of my career and can't let it interfere with my work... or something like, let's just be friends with benefits, taking it any further wouldn't benefit either of us...
Given the current situation of Li Yitong and Li Mo, if these things were to come out, their relationship would change!
Rather than doing that, it's better to say nothing, just pretend to be ignorant, and wait until the day when we can't delay any longer before we see what happens.
This is the approach most people would take, since no one wants to tear down this barrier.
However, Li Mo was not one to back down. Instead of responding, he put on his glasses, casually picked up an ordinary guitar, and played "Unavoidable Love".
At breakfast, I expressed my heartfelt feelings through music in the morning breeze. Everything happened naturally, and all the stories that happened with you were beyond my control.
Li Yitong's eyes turned into crescent moons again, and the two enjoyed the morning light.
After finishing breakfast, Li Yitong tidied her clothes and left the RV, returning to her tent.
Li Mo leaned against the headboard, listening once again to the rustling of the morning breeze through the weeds, and felt quite pleased.
However, compared to enjoying himself, he had something more important to do: synthesis!
I closed the RV windows, locked the doors, and then drew the curtains.
With his eyes closed, he opened the panel, and upon mentally calling out, a "Merge" button appeared instantly.
Please drag the equipment you wish to synthesize into the interface.
Light blue text appeared on the interface.
Li Mo began processing the items: [Wanderer's Agarwood Oil], [Wanderer's Guitar], [Wanderer's Jacket], [Wanderer's Diary], and [Wanderer's Blue Light Blocking Glasses Left Behind].
"Detecting compositing path... Path exists, compositing?"
Li Mo looked up and around. Since this was his first time, he had no idea what would happen next.
It was precisely because of the unknown that Li Mo hesitated.
After checking the door lock again to make sure I was in a completely private state, I took a deep breath and clicked confirm.
[Preparing to synthesize... Please remove all equipment and store it in the currently unoccupied space...]
Fortunately, Li Mo brought everything this time: a guitar, sunglasses, a diary, a bottle of Qinan oil, and that jacket.
Just after Li Mo finished doing all this, new content appeared on the panel.
[The system is ready to proceed with the crafting process. Please do not touch the equipment or alter the environment.]
[Shielding fluctuations... cleaning up traces... completing the fusion]
[Synthesis complete]
The whole process was extremely fast, taking only about a second.
Li Mo felt a dazzling light appear before his eyes, and he was so startled that he couldn't open them.
When she opened her eyes again, all the equipment had disappeared, as if they had never existed at all.
[Ding~ Synthesis complete. Congratulations, host, you have awakened the character attribute: Prodigal Son]
[Effect 1: The voice becomes full of stories and atmosphere, after all, a wanderer is never short of stories (unchanged).]
[Entry Effect 2: Proficient in guitar; the music played will captivate the audience for one second.]
[Entry Effect 3: You possess an innate "storytelling" quality, increasing your appeal to artsy young people by 20%]
[Affix Effect 4: Increases affinity by 15%]
[Effect 5: Increases concentration by 20% while wearing it, and also enhances sensitivity to text, enabling you to more quickly perceive the logic and emotions behind the words.]
[Special Effect: Are You Lying?: Allows you to detect one lie per day.]
[You're adept at disguising yourself and exceptionally sensitive to lies, yet in this world rife with falsehoods, you force yourself to appear oblivious; once a day is your limit.]
As the panel notification ended, a subtle coolness spread throughout Li Mo's body, and Li Mo himself was undergoing a change.
These changes previously only occurred when Li Mo used the equipment, but now they all belong to Li Mo himself.
These two are completely different things, and Li Mo himself has also changed a lot.
His mind was filled with a lot of knowledge about guitar, and the muscle groups involved in playing guitar began to develop muscle memory.
In addition, Li Mo felt that his concentration had improved a lot and his mental state was more energetic.
These are Li Mo's most immediate feelings. Afterwards, Li Mo went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.
The natural warmth emanating from his eyes and brows, and the powerful aura contained in every movement of his body.
If before he relied on equipment, now he relies entirely on Li Mo himself.
Unlike before, even though Li Mo is only wearing boxer shorts now, these boxer shorts are the ones from Wang Wei's poem.
Of course, all of the above are abilities that Li Mo once possessed; after synthesis, they were simply retained and integrated into Li Mo himself.
Li Mo then focused his attention on this special effect, using it to detect lies…
Li Mo seemed to be deep in thought. It could be said that any rule-based skill like this, if used well, is extremely powerful.
Moreover, the skill of detecting lies is not weak to begin with!
In this circle where everyone wears a mask, having this skill is incredibly useful.
However, the key lies in how Li Mo himself intends to use it...
"Clang, clang..."
A series of knocks came at the door, and Li Mo immediately came to his senses. He looked at himself and felt that it would be inappropriate to open the door directly, so he slowly dressed himself before opening the door.
"They're here."
Li Mo opened the door, and outside was none other than Li Yitong, who had just left.
"Why is the door locked? Everyone's up. Should we get ready to leave soon?"
Li Yitong asked curiously. She had come to inquire on behalf of everyone about when Li Mo would be leaving, but when she looked up at Li Mo, she suddenly froze. "Brother Mo, you..."
Li Yitong didn't know if the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" truly existed in this world.
In short, in her eyes, Li Mo was really making her feel a little irritated, even though she had just finished eating last night.
But that feeling of wanting to get close, that atmosphere in every gesture, is still somewhat alluring, dry...too dry!
"Now that everything is ready, let's set off in five minutes!"
Li Mo thought for a moment and realized there was no need to stay here, so he casually replied. But who knew that Li Yitong would suddenly become clever.
"Brother Mo said we're leaving in half an hour, and he told everyone to explore the area now, since we don't know when we'll be able to come back again..."
"OK!"
After everyone replied, they felt that what Li Mo said made sense, so they wandered around in small groups.
After Li Yitong had tricked everyone into leaving, she secretly returned to the RV.
As Li Mo opened the car door, he was about to say something about the return trip when Li Yitong covered his mouth.
"We'll decide whether to go or not later, let's satisfy our cravings first!"
"Abu, wait a minute..."
...
After returning from the grasslands, Li Mo and his team separated again.
They were going back to Shanghai first, while Li Mo took Li Yitong back to Beijing.
Of all the cities in China, Li Mo traveled most to Beijing and Shanghai. There was no way around it; the entertainment industry is a snob industry.
They only cluster in the most bustling areas, let's just say that, even some TV programs.
The recording took place in Beijing, not at a local television station.
This is mainly because these two cities have the most concentrated resources, and resource allocation is relatively convenient within these two cities.
Li Mo returned to the capital for two main reasons. One was that since things had come to this with Li Yitong, he couldn't let her continue to struggle.
They need to step in more forcefully, so Li Mo plans to introduce her to two people during his trip back to Beijing.
He even suggested finding her some small roles in film crews to gain experience, and he also considered changing Li Yitong's accommodation.
But Li Yitong refused, and Li Mo didn't insist either.
However, that very night, Li Mo moved into her rented apartment with her, returning to that kind of environment once again.
It has a bit of the feel of rental apartment literature. When you have a lot of stuff, the room will seem very small, but it is precisely in this kind of cramped space that...
That passionate feeling was fully realized. Without turning on the lights, they gazed at each other vaguely, relying only on the moonlight streaming in through the narrow window.
The room is overflowing with hormones!
In addition, there was no soundproofing, so Li Yitong dared not make a sound. Just like she said before, those who study dance can endure hardship!
Li Yitong gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound; this feeling was also part of the play!
The second thing Li Mo did upon arriving in the capital was to deal with Li Xirui.
The only music video left to be filmed this time was "The Ordinary Road," so Li Mo naturally couldn't entrust "The Ordinary Road" to her.
That was reserved for Yang Chaoyue.
It can only be said that Li Xirui's priority is far too low for Li Mo.
Completely inferior, unable to compete with Meng Ziyi or Li Yitong, but since they are friends, I should still explain.
This is why Li Mo made a special trip here.
At least he didn't want others to see him as an untrustworthy person, so Meng Ziyi's joining was indeed an accident.
After driving to the vicinity of Jiaxing, Li Mo sat in the car, checked the time, and took out his phone to open Li Xirui's chat interface.
The two didn't communicate much; some of their conversations were about their previous work. Their attitude was relatively indifferent at first, but gradually warmed up later.
Li Mo considered his words carefully in the car before sending a message:
"Xi Rui, I'm back here. Do you have time today? Want to go out for a meal?"
My phone vibrated less than two minutes after I sent the message.
Li Xirui replied very quickly:
"Oh, sure! I'm almost off work, where are you? I'll come find you!"
Li Mo smiled, took a picture of the office building where Jiaxing was located and sent it to her, then didn't say anything more.
"You're downstairs at our company? Oh, did you come especially to pick me up?"
Li Xirui also added a shy cat emoji, which shows that she has a strong social ability.
From a social point of view, this is the right response, as it addresses Li Mo while also introducing a new topic.
However, Li Mo had known her for a while and knew what she was like, so he naturally started typing on his phone.
"No, that's not it. I just figured someone would need a car today, so I'm thinking of working part-time as a ride-hailing driver."
Li Xirui had just packed her bag and was about to come out when she saw the message. While greeting her colleagues, she was rapidly typing on her phone.
"Hahaha, it's not expensive, is it? I can't afford it if it's too expensive, your car is so expensive!"
"Um...it depends on your performance and my mood!"
The two chatted back and forth until Li Xirui got into the car!
