Chapter 65 So... it can be exchanged for money?
The evening breeze, carrying the coolness of the sea and the smoky aroma of barbecue, felt soothing on my sweaty skin.

The feeling of being in the crowd just now was indeed a bit floating. The crowd automatically parted to make way, and those gazes, mixed with surprise and something else, were quite pleasing to Li Younan.

Jing Chaoyi's eyes were dazzlingly bright.

When Li Younan slipped into the crowd, the crowd automatically made way for him.

Those who gathered here were either interested in parkour to some extent, or were simply members of the parkour community. Besides them, there was a large group of young people who were simply looking cool.

Li Younan could naturally sense that the way they looked at him had changed.

In this era, the concept of hidden masters among ordinary people has gradually disappeared, while Li Younan evoked a sense of absurdity akin to the Renaissance.

Fortunately, it was already close to evening, and as the light gradually dimmed, the nighttime youth carnival began. In the hazy atmosphere, Li Younan quickly disappeared.

Li Younan was a little confused by Jing Chaoyi's gaze. He coughed and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jing Chaoyi pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "What? I had no idea you were so amazing, senior. The host said your skill level is world-class, is that true?"

Li Younan shook his head and said, "Nonsense, how could this be world-class? It's just that I have some athletic background, and I've only practiced for a couple of days, mastering a few basic introductory movements. It's just that I'm physically fit, so it looks decent. And there's another possibility: the competition's level isn't very high to begin with. You know, every competition likes to call itself world-class, but it might actually be some low-level competition with foreign participants."

Li Younan explained in a very serious manner.

Jing Chaoyi blinked and lowered her head. "Oh, I see."

That sounds plausible. Her roller skating competitions follow this pattern: the organizers invite a few unknown, low-tier foreign athletes, call it an international invitational tournament, and rake in the ticket revenue.

She looked up again, her eyes bright, "But I think you're already amazing, senior. I think you look so cool when you're flying in the sky! Can you fly one more time?"

"Of course not. The parkour god told me that the number of times you can fly each day is fixed, and you can't exceed that."

"Senior!"

"Hey... I'll show you a move that every real man knows..."

"call!"

"Wow, so handsome! What's your name, senior?"

"Webster".

It was the right thing to sneak out.

As darkness fell, neon lights flashed wildly, and the music was so loud it made your chest tingle. It was lively, but too noisy. It was much quieter now, so Jing Chaoyi and I strolled back slowly.

The two gradually moved away from the beach, the loud sound of the speakers still echoing in the air.

Li Younan sighed softly...

But... wasn't that commotion a bit too loud?

They've even started calling it "world-class"...

If my college roommates manage to snag one of those, they'll be calling me nonstop—

"Dude, when did you become a parkour master?"

Just thinking about the noise gives me a headache.

While it can't be called a supernatural phenomenon, it's still incredible enough.

He didn't think too much about it at the time; he just felt sorry for Zhou Xiaotiao, and with greater power came greater responsibility, so he felt he should do something...

If Zhou Xiaotiao had cried for himself, Li Younan wouldn't have been so moved.

But... it's been several years since graduation, who doesn't have a few secrets? Let me just say I practiced a bit after starting work.

I already had a good foundation, and I'm still young.

Parkour? Aside from the circle of people having fun on their own, you're more likely to see square dancing on TikTok than that.

Forget it, thinking about it so much is tiring.

I casually turned off the "People You May Know" notification.

There's no need to be anxious about losing what you've already enjoyed.

Things will work themselves out in the end; if you're really asked, just play dumb.

"Huh? Really? He was just jumping around a bit. You guys are exaggerating."

Just fool them.

He walked slowly, letting these thoughts sink back into his heart.

"Wait for me! I forgot something!" Suddenly, Li Younan called out to Jing Chaoyi, who was daydreaming beside him with her head down. Before she could react, he took off running back.

The evening breeze whistled past my ears.

Jing Chaoyi's expression froze, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. A few leaves on the ground spun around.

Li Younan ran back to the beach in one breath, panting heavily, and searched around before finally finding his friend in the crowd. He then strode over to him, saying, "Thank goodness you're still here!"

The other person looked completely bewildered; it was the same guy who had helped Li Younan take photos with the gimbal that afternoon.

Source material arrived, high definition!
Walking back, Jing Chaoyi was squatting under the streetlight, her little head nodding, her fingers tapping the ground idly—

Li Younan leaned closer to take a look...

Jing Chaoyi, feeling sleepy, was struggling with ants.

"Let's go!" Li Younan said with a smile, tapping her on the forehead.

She made a "hmm" sound, rubbed her eyes, and stood up, looking rather silly.

The sea breeze, a dozing junior student, and a piece of artwork clutched in her hand...

Li Younan felt that this was the present moment.

……

JK Long had previously mentioned that he wanted to create a work based on his parkour skills, so Li Younan filmed some pre-production connecting video footage, all according to JK Long's requirements.

He sent all of it to JK Dragon at once, and also told JK Dragon what had happened that day.

However, JK Dragon did not reply to the message immediately; the few messages he sent remained unread.

Brother Long is like this; he probably hasn't gotten up yet.

……

Back in his temporary rented room, Li Younan opened a short video platform.

His homepage currently only has two videos.

The first video was his response to the backflip video of that backflip streamer. It wasn't very high quality, but it coincidentally got 3 likes.

However, it seems there's not much room for further growth right now.

The second video was of him experiencing being an extra in Hengdian. After being re-edited and processed by JK Long, it had already reached 4 likes and thousands of comments in just two days, so many that even Li Younan was too lazy to look at it.

It's still rising.

His fan base has grown to 1.7.

Li Younan also posted the video that JK Long had sent him, which highlighted his culinary skills, to his homepage.

This video is much more ordinary compared to the previous two.

However, Brother Long's unique editing techniques and copywriting immersed the entire video in a warm atmosphere, and the background music was also soothing and quiet, giving it a magical quality that, although it didn't have much of a story, could still captivate viewers.

When Brother Long took action, the results were truly remarkable.

After uploading the video of Brother Long cutting out the cooking video, and watching the progress bar complete, Li Younan felt a lazy sense of satisfaction, as if he had finished a small task.

After finishing the third video, Li Younan opened the panel to check the skills he had acquired that day—carpentry skills.

To be honest, this skill is very helpful to him at this stage!

Ever since he slept in the car one night, he's been wanting to customize and upgrade his Land Cruiser. The first thing he wants to do is put a bed in the car, and woodworking skills are undoubtedly the easiest skill to achieve that.

Li Younan has also seen many examples of off-road vehicles being converted into campervans on short video platforms.

The most comfortable option is to use woodworking to create a custom fit that perfectly matches the car body.

While lost in thought, Li scrolled through his private messages, which were covered in little red dots.

Most of them are just glanced at and moved on.

Scratching...

Hmm? This one is a little different.

"Hello, can we discuss business cooperation?"

Business cooperation?

Find me?

That's all the fans you have?
So... this can be exchanged for money?
My fingertip hovered over the screen for a second. Outside the window, there was a faint background noise of the city, while the hustle and bustle of the distant beach seemed to be separated by a layer.

Hmm, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy.
