Chapter 109: The Cultural Warrior's Overbearing Aura
PS: 4K big chapter seeking votes
For a drama team to be successful, the actors' acting skills are naturally the main factor, but another factor that cannot be ignored is also at play. That is the tacit understanding between actors, which is also one of the reasons why a drama team needs a running-in period. Su Jin originally thought that this should be the place where she least needed to worry, after all, the actors in the drama team were all classmates and had undergone training together, so they should have cultivated a certain tacit understanding.
But Su Jin had to admit that he was thinking too simply. An excellent actor can perfectly control himself and cultivate tacit understanding with anyone in a short time. However, ordinary people find it difficult to do so. For ordinary people, the only way to cultivate tacit understanding is through daily interactions and grinding.
However, the actors in "The Drama" are not classmates, but rather schoolmates who didn't have much contact with each other. Moreover, even if they were in the same class, their daily interactions would still be divided into different cliques, so how could they get along harmoniously with everyone?
It's unrealistic to expect them to develop a tacit understanding like professional actors in a short period of time. Su Jin glanced at the actors being filmed with a subtle gaze, and his heart made up its mind. Maybe he could only implement that plan after all.
Rong Shansheng walked home dejectedly, looking up at the starry sky and sighing. Another day had passed. Today he was called "no" more than a dozen times, until 8 or 9 o'clock when the director finally reluctantly let them go home.
He knew that it wasn't that Su Jing felt his final performance was satisfactory, but rather that it was really late and they had to let them go home, so he did this. In fact, Rong Shansheng was very grateful to Su Jing, because it was Su Jing who gave him the opportunity to act.
He loved acting. Watching various characters on TV since he was a child, he was filled with envy. He had thought about applying to a film and television academy, but the reality was that he didn't have any performing talent. In the end, he could only attend a business school. His former dream of being a star could only be just a dream.
Heaven always pities those with a kind heart, and Su Jin, the big shot of Shang Xiang, for some reason decided to hold auditions within the school to film a TV series. Although he didn't have high hopes for this student-acted TV series, he still seized this opportunity. He knew that this might be his only chance to act in his entire life.
Although his acting skills were not good, compared to those students who had never been in contact with performance, he was still a little better. This made him stand out and became the protagonist of this play.
Recently, he received training from Su Jin. For some reason, Su Jin's training was very effective, although now he is somewhat inexplicable, but his acting skills have indeed improved.
Unfortunately, despite some improvement, it only reached the level of a general actor, making appearances in some TV dramas. Being an extra or playing a small supporting role with a few lines is enough. But wanting to be a leading actor, well, everyone can just forget about it. This script's color performance is just passable, and he can barely scrape by.
If it were any other play, he would absolutely not have the strength to take on. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of despair. Alas, it seems that this is his only chance at acting in this lifetime. But it's okay, at least his life has something worth cherishing.
I went home and ate something casually, then crawled onto the bed and fell into a daze. A day of filming was really too tiring. And there were constant re-shoots, which made it even more exhausting.
"System installation complete. Welcome, you are now a cultural warrior. Your rank is Corporal, belonging to Class 1, and you will take orders from the Class Leader. The Class Leader position is temporarily vacant, so you will directly receive orders from the Platoon Leader."
In a series of system prompts, Rong Shansheng was woken up.
"Where is this? How did I end up in a place like this?" Rong Shansheng exclaimed.
"This is the system hall, congratulations to you, new recruit!" A clear and cold voice came.
Su Jin sat in the chair with a speechless face, wasn't it just recruiting soldiers? He himself had also obtained a recruitment permit, how come now it's like they're doing some espionage. Are cultural soldiers born to be spies or something? Shaking his head, he shook off the sarcastic thoughts from his mind. Su Jin focused his attention on the young man in front of him.
No matter what, this is his first soldier after all. As it happens, the system's move was in line with his intentions, and he was originally worried about how to conceal his identity. After all, if others were to find out that Su Zhan had a system during this period, it would not be a good thing for Su Zhan.
"Who are you? How did I get here?" Rong Shan Sheng looked at the blurry face in front of him and asked with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.
"I am your platoon leader," Su Jin said.
"What's going on?" Rong Shansheng asked.
"Didn't you notice the system's prompt just now? Think carefully in your mind, a sub-system of the cultural system has been installed in your brain, and there are message records inside." Su Jin said calmly.
Rong Shansheng rummaged through the records in his mind, looking at Su Jin with a terrified expression and said: "What's going on? When did I become a cultural soldier? What does a cultural soldier do?"
"Cultural warriors are a type of military force, but one that operates independently outside the regular armed forces, and is specifically designed to wage cultural warfare." Su Jin said calmly, this is the definition of cultural warriors in the cultural system.
"War? Tools? Can't I just not get involved?" said Rong Shan Sheng cautiously.
"Okay!"
"Really! Thank you, I'm leaving then." Rong Shansheng said with great joy.
"I will be considered a deserter and shot as a fugitive." Su Jinkang said firmly.
“……”
Rong Shansheng looked at Su Jian painfully, "Old Big Brother, you're the Old Big Brother, speak up, what are your demands? I really don't have any money."
"What does it have to do with me whether you have money or not? Am I a robber? I gave you a great opportunity, didn't I?" Su silently cursed in his heart.
"You don't have to suffer so much, cultural soldiers are considered enlisted, but not openly, so you can continue your original life. As long as you occasionally complete the tasks assigned by the organization, that's enough. Moreover, this is an opportunity for you that is absolutely rare. Do you want to be ordinary all your life? Becoming a cultural soldier is the beginning of your extraordinary life!" Su Jin tempted.
"An extraordinary life? What kind of extraordinary life?" Rong Shan Sheng's heart skipped a beat as he asked.
"Do you want to be a star?"
"I want!"
"A cultured soldier can help you achieve it."
……
After a moment of understanding, Rong Shansheng finally understood the role of this cultural soldier. According to his own platoon leader, each cultural soldier has a cultural system. Of course, this cultural system is a subsystem of the real cultural system. This cultural system can actually exchange skills through points.
Role Possession (10 minutes): For 10 minutes, become one with the script role, every move is exactly like the character. 1000 points
"Depressed gaze (10 minutes): Make your eyes look depressed within 10 minutes. 1000 points."
……
Rong Shansheng's eyes lit up, and he finally understood why Pai Chang said he could help him become a star. With these skills, it would be hard for him not to become a star.
Earning points is simple, relying on fans. Fans are divided into five levels: recognition, acknowledgement, appreciation, respect and worship.
To put it simply, every time someone reaches the recognition stage with the host, they can earn a little bit of points every three months. If they reach the acknowledgement stage, they can earn a little bit of points every half month, appreciation stage is one point every three days, respect stage is three points per day, and worship stage is thirty points per day!
Su Jin looked at Rong Shaneng's excited figure checking the system functions and smiled slightly, knowing that his first task for tonight had basically been accomplished.
No, the cultural subsystem in Rong Shanshan's mind is a terminal of the cultural system that Su Jian has divided. After Su Jian carefully understood the recruitment function of the cultural system, he finally understood why the system determined that the recruitment function was the most important function of the system.
The cultural system can split into corresponding subsystems based on the host's recruitment quota. These subsystems can exhibit corresponding functions according to Su Jin's selection, such as various skills and so on. If Su Jin is willing, he can even allow the subsystem to have the ability of a complete cultural system. Of course, Su Jin will not do so.
In fact, the subsystem itself does not have this function. It is just a terminal of the system. Simply put, it is a tool for the parent system to collect faith points. These subsystems are attached to their respective hosts and then collect the faith points owned by the host. But it itself does not save points, and the points will be sent to the parent system in real time.
So, if Su Jian's reason is valid, even Rong Shansheng won't get a single point. Of course, in order to maintain Rong Shansheng's positivity and future development potential, Su Jian left him the corresponding points, which is one-third of the total. The remaining two-thirds were taken by Su Jian without Rong Shansheng's knowledge.
The functions carried by the sub-system are not possessed by itself, but are sent from Su Jing's place. In other words, if Rong Shansheng wants to use a skill, the process is that his place sends a command to consume points to the mother system, and the mother system deducts the consumed points from Rong Shansheng's deserved points, and then sends the skills he needs to the sub-system, which is used by Rong Shansheng.
Throughout the process, Rong Shansheng was like a user holding a bank card, while Su Jin was like the bank. As long as there were no conflicts, everyone got along well, but once conflicts arose, Su Jin could instantly freeze all of Rong Shansheng's deposits. This fundamentally eliminated the possibility that Rong Shansheng would one day pose a threat to Su Jin, because Su Jin had control over his lifeline and could recall the sub-system at any time.
This is also the reason why the mother system can produce unlimited child systems, like this terminal, which consumes almost no resources. Unfortunately, for some unknown consideration, the mother system can only produce a number of child systems equal to the recruitment quota.
Su Jin suddenly felt that he had lost a lot, if he had known that this cultural soldier was so powerful, he should have implemented it earlier, why wait until today? Since ancient times, those who want to achieve great things must first gather people! Su Jin wants to do big things, and relying on his own strength is not enough.
Isn't this cultural warrior's setup the best way to recruit his subordinates? Fortunately, it's not too late now, and Su Jin has plenty of time to recruit powerful subordinates.
Rong Shansheng was still in the research subsystem, and Su Jin waved his hand impatiently, sending him out of the hall. He had a lot to do tonight and couldn't waste all his time on him.
This hall is a virtual space completely set up by the system for these cultural warriors, and it's only for them to communicate with each other. Cultural warriors can choose to come here as long as they are in a state of sleep. But when they are awake, they can't find this place no matter what, because this is originally an illusory existence.
Su Jian was increasingly amazed by the level of technology in the future, which he thought was already on par with the various Taoist magic and divine techniques of ancient times. However, technological advancements have always been changing with each passing day. If today's technology were to be placed four or five hundred years ago, wouldn't it also seem like a miracle? The birth of the cultural system dates back more than four or five hundred years from now.
Of course, the system's settings for cultural soldiers are also becoming more and more inexplicable. It seems that this is completely in line with the rhythm of underground work. Is it possible that future cultural soldiers will be similar to spies? Su Jin thought about it, and it seemed that there was indeed such a possibility.
Cultural warriors are mainly used for cultural aggression, a kind of warfare that has always been smokeless and extremely secretive. Many times, the object is aware that this is cultural aggression when the war is over.
Of course, what's even more frightening is that the cultural war has ended, but its targets still haven't realized it. Thinking about it this way, it seems like these cultural soldiers are even more secretive than spies. After all, when a spy is discovered, there's still a glimmer of hope and they can be killed off. But if a cultural soldier is discovered, it's absolutely a dead end. Most cultural soldiers are powerless to begin with.
It's fine if it is, and it's also fine if it isn't. Regardless of the original intention behind the development of cultural systems, it has nothing to do with Su. Currently speaking, he has absolute rights over how to use the cultural system.
Su Jian shook his head, deciding not to consider the issue anymore. Did the original intention of the cultural system development have any meaning for him? Su Jian was never a pedantic person to begin with. If needed, he could completely use the cultural system in the way he wanted, and he had no psychological burden about it.
Su Jin was too busy and didn't have time to think about it. After operating on the system for a bit, the next sub-system host appeared in the hall.
The subsystem splits from the mother system into small dots, which once in contact with a specified target, will quickly drill into the skin of the target and merge into the body.
Su Jin was able to integrate these sub-systems into each host only after having the opportunity to interact with these actors during the day, and now he can invite them one by one into the hall.
