The training ground that Song Qinsong applied for Lin Yi is exclusively for senior generals. All facilities and equipment are of the highest quality. It is not just ordinary physical training, but also drills for various extreme situations. It also includes fighter jet simulation flights, mecha operations, and other things that people outside the military region cannot even touch.
There aren't many people here usually, and of course there are even fewer people at this time, after all, they are all waiting for food in the cafeteria.
After Lin Yi entered his information into the access control system, he gained full access rights. After a good workout and a good sweat, he discovered that there were various fighting courses in the training ground’s intelligent computer.
Lin Yi had learned some fighting skills in his previous life, one to strengthen his physical fitness, and the other to deal with some emergencies. He was driven by fanatical fans to the point that he wanted to be able to fly over eaves and walls.
However, the fighting skills provided by the intelligent computer to Lin Yi at this time were more practical. At the same time, it also conducted a physical test on Lin Yi to determine what level of learning was suitable for him at the moment.
After the test, Lin Yi's current physique is only equivalent to that of an ordinary beta, and the content he can learn is correspondingly limited. However, based on the starting point of the physique provided by the original owner, Lin Yi's current physique is already a significant improvement.
Such learning opportunities are hard to find after leaving the deserted planet, so Lin Yi plans to make good use of these fifteen days. Not to mention accomplishing something big, but at least he will not waste time before leaving.
Lin Yi spent the entire morning in the training ground. He chose a set of elementary combat training. After entering the virtual learning system, the training time would seem to be extended, but the actual time would not change.
Therefore, although Lin Yi spent half the morning at the training ground, his body felt as if he had been there for the entire day.
After exiting the training simulation system, he collapsed to the ground, panting for a long time before slowly recovering. Fortunately, the simulation training took his physical strength and body into consideration, so Lin Yi was not really exhausted in the past half day.
Lin Yi picked up his coat that he had thrown aside and went to the shower room nearby to take a shower. When he came out, he finally saw a few people other than himself in the training ground.
They were several generals who had just come from the military cafeteria and were about to take a short rest and started to disappear, among them was Song Qinsong.
The senior generals of the First Legion, who were usually not very elegant but at least very heroic, were now sitting on a bench outside the venue without any manners. Song Qinsong leaned back in his chair with his hands spread out, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Hearing the sound of Lin Yi walking out of the house, he turned around and saw Lin Yi coming over in Qin Nuo's aircraft, still safe and sound. He felt a lot more relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
Thinking about the buns and dumplings they had just eaten, Song Qinsong sat up straight again and said to Lin Yi excitedly: "Lin Yi, the dumplings and buns just now were absolutely amazing. If you go to the cafeteria now, I guess they are gone. What a pity."
He used an uncertain tone, but he had already determined in his heart that this was the fact. After all, he had witnessed the situation in the military cafeteria with his own eyes. The last pot of dumplings and the last basket of buns almost overturned the roof of the military cafeteria. There was no surplus.
Upon hearing this, his colleague at the side immediately exposed him: "Why are you pretending to be so arrogant? You ate the most just now, and I just can't stand your hypocritical attitude."
Song Qinsong turned around and asked: "You eat less than me?"
The two men spoke as if they were about to have a fight.
Lin Yi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, he raised his personal terminal and played them the video content that Xiao D had sent earlier.
In the video, Xiao D took a close-up of a row of plump dumplings that had not yet been put into the pot, and also a plate of steaming buns piled up in a pointed shape. Although Xiao D did not appear in this scene, its voice could be clearly heard in the background: "Where are the dumplings and buns? If you still want to eat, go eat poop. If you dare to force your way into the kitchen, I will bombard you."
The next second the camera turned to Little D, and its tone changed 180 degrees: "My lord, I have saved these foods from the mouths of the evil people for you, and specially made them fresh. You can come and enjoy them anytime."
The villain Song Qinsong and his colleagues immediately stopped arguing. Song Qinsong said, "I knew that this cunning D-type No. 1 must have a backup plan. Are you going to the cafeteria now? I can take you there."
As Song Qinsong said this, he pretended to get up. Several other generals also stood up immediately, saying that they could definitely go to the military cafeteria again.
Lin Yi pretended that he didn't see their intentions, shook his head and said, "I have to go to the crew now. I just received a notice that one of my scenes has been moved up. I have to go there now."
Despite this, Song Qinsong still stood up and said that he could take Lin Yi there.
Lin Yi got on the mecha with him.
Song Qinsong's mecha is a model that is used more frequently by the First Legion. Lin Yi had seen a corresponding simulator in the training ground before. He thought of an idea he had before, so he asked Song Qinsong at this time: "General Song, if I pass the driving test course at the military headquarters, can I continue to use the driver's license here after returning to the capital planet?"
Song Qinsong smiled and said, "Of course. A driver's license obtained on the capital planet may not allow you to travel throughout the empire, but a driver's license obtained on the desert planet can allow you to travel throughout the universe."
He paused and asked Lin Yi: "Why, do you want to get a driver's license?"
Lin Yi nodded: "I have this idea, but I don't know if it is convenient for the military."
"Is it convenient or not..." Song Qinsong said, "There is no precedent for this before, so it may be a little difficult, but it is not insurmountable."
Lin Yi heard his hidden meaning and continued the conversation tactfully: "How to overcome it?"
Song Qinsong cleared his throat and said seriously, "You can ask D-Type No. 1 to reduce some of his hostility towards me and give me more food during meal times. This difficulty can be overcome."
Lin Yi didn't expect him to say this and couldn't help but chuckle.
Song Qinsong, however, looked serious and explained to Lin Yi: "You don't know how hostile D-Type One is to us now. Two out of three sentences it uses are offensive. Now it's being nice to you. If you weren't here, I would have suspected that it had anti-human tendencies."
"But I think Xiao D is pretty good to the Marshal," Lin Yi said, "There's a saying that goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Xiao D was hit too hard by the negative reviews before. I think the root of the problem lies with you. Maybe you can try to write some good reviews for Xiao D."
"Really?" Song Qinsong said doubtfully, "Okay, I'll try it later."
While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at the location where the crew was filming today.
Many crews were blocking the road with their cars outside, so Lin Yi did not let Song Qinsong drive inside. Instead, he got out of the car some distance away and walked inside on his own.
It was still more than an hour before lunch time, but it was the same for the crew. Because they had just received a notice that the spaceship carrying the nutrient solution would arrive tonight at the earliest, everyone had to work on an empty stomach.
Lin Yi's scenes were moved up because the second male lead, Li Xingzhou, couldn't stand it anymore after being hungry all morning and didn't want to shoot on an empty stomach anymore. Director Fred was also angry that Li Xingzhou couldn't get into the role and didn't get a shot he thought he could use the whole morning.
Li Xingzhou went on strike, but the filming had to go on because these fifteen days were only the longest filming time the crew had applied for. Once the time was up, director Fred was not sure if he could still get enough face to ask the military to extend their filming permit.
The atmosphere in the crew is extremely bad now. Those with higher status all have gloomy faces, and those with lower status are all terrified.
Lin Yi walked towards the crew's mobile makeup car, but before he could get on the car, he was stopped by Archie, who looked at him unkindly and asked, "Where have you been? Why are you back at this time?"
Lin Yi glanced at the time and said, "Morning is my free time, and the temporary notice I received earlier also requires me to arrive before 11 o'clock. It's only 10:45 now. Do you want to stop me and chat for 15 minutes?"
Archie choked again at Lin Yi, and thinking of Fred who was on the verge of a rage over there, he could only step back and let Lin Yi go in.
The scene that Lin Yi was going to shoot soon was one of his character's youth. After he entered the dressing room, he was immediately asked to start fixing his makeup.
The makeup artist wiped Lin Yi's face and sighed softly: "Oh, fortunately, you have a good foundation, so it's easy to put on."
Lin Yi is only in his early twenties this year, so it is indeed easy for him to play a teenager. The makeup artist did not make any overall changes to him, just asked Lin Yi to change into a prop costume, and then added a few strokes on his face before pushing Lin Yi out.
Although Lin Yi is in this scene, his position as an 18th-tier supporting actor cannot be changed, and the focus of the camera at the moment is still on the male lead.
The next scene to be filmed is the male lead returning from the battle in a mecha. After getting off the mecha, he strides towards the home of the second male lead. In the courtyard, the small supporting role played by Lin Yi stands quietly on one side, and there is a close-up shot passing by.
The male protagonist Chen Qiaoxu was not ready at this time and was communicating with a soldier in the military on how to drive a mecha.
Director Fred was sitting not far away, his face full of impatience. He looked around and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Yi walking under the eaves in his peripheral vision. His eyes were involuntarily attracted to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's face was given some makeup, and his originally clear and bright black eyes looked immature and childish, and the whole person looked extremely pure, which actually better fits director Fred's idea of the second male lead.
"Who is that?" He looked up and asked the staff beside him.
The staff member who was asked glanced at Lin Yi and said to Fred, "This is Lin Yi. He will play a servant in the second male lead's house."
As for the fact that Lin Yi almost played the second male lead, Fred had forgotten about it and the staff member did not intend to mention it again. After all, sitting not far from them was Li Xingzhou, the current second male lead with an unhappy look on his face.
"Oh." Fred nodded, looking a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. No matter how willful he was, he couldn't change the position of the second male lead at this time. Besides, he didn't know how Lin Yi would perform, and he had seen many vase beauties.
Li Xingzhou, who was standing nearby, was already in a bad mood after being hungry all morning. When he heard Fred asking about Lin Yi, he also looked over. When he saw Lin Yi's expression, he roughly knew why Fred asked about Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's outstanding appearance is undeniable even in the current empire. Li Xingzhou is not as good as him in this respect.
There was a bit more jealousy in Li Xingzhou's eyes when he looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't care what they were thinking, and he didn't plan to rashly go up to Fred to get close to him at this time. He knew clearly that for a madman like Fred, it would be better to give him a good performance to please him instead of flattering him a hundred times.
Lin Yi found a place to sit down during this break and sent a message to Xiao D, who had sent another message asking if he would come over at noon, telling him that his filming might last for a while and that he didn't need to prepare anything for him at noon. He also took the time to send Xiao D two fresh recipes, suggesting that Xiao D could cook them in the evening.
One dish was dry pot stuffed cabbage, and the other was spicy diced chicken. In fact, Lin Yi just wanted to eat these two dishes in the evening. And after knowing about braised pork buns and dumplings, he was sure that Xiao D could easily make these dishes after he gave the recipes.
Since we can eat and drink well during these fifteen days, of course we should work towards this goal.
By the time Lin Yi sent the message, Chen Qiaoxu was already ready and officially started filming Lin Yi's first scene.
The character played by Lin Yi at this time grew up in the rear, had a gentle and timid personality, and was an extremely inconspicuous servant. When he passed by the male protagonist after the male protagonist returned victoriously, it was the moment when he was closest to the male protagonist in his life.
Lin Yi stood on the path, head slightly lowered, cautiously and nervously clenching his fists, eyes half closed. When Chen Qiaoxu strode past him without looking back, Lin Yi's lips showed a barely perceptible smile, his face seemed to have a bright light, his eyes lit up, although his body language and even expression did not seem to change much, but the boy's thoughts and joy hidden under his humility were clearly visible on paper.
When the close-up shot swept across his face, a gust of wind happened to blow the strands of hair on his forehead, revealing his smooth white forehead. His rosy lips and straight nose formed a perfect side glance, which made Fred, the director who was staring at the screen at the back of the picture, stunned for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Fred suddenly laughed out loud, clapped his hands, and then had someone end the filming, announcing at one time that the shot had been passed.
After a busy morning, they finally passed a line. The male protagonist Chen Qiaoxu breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the original route.
He walked over to Fred and was about to talk to him, but he saw Fred waved at Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi, right? You performed so well! It was exactly the ideal state in my mind."
Chen Qiaoxu turned to look at Lin Yi, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Lin Yi: "Hello Lin Yi, my name is Chen Qiaoxu, thank you so much today."
Lin Yi was a little surprised: "Thank me?"
He really couldn't think of anything he had done to deserve Chen Qiaoxu's gratitude.
Chen Qiaoxu smiled and said, "It was thanks to your braised pork this morning that I drank five glasses of water, which is why I have managed to hold on until now."
His tone was brisk and his look was casual, which made Lin Yi laugh.
Fred's interest finally perked up a bit, so he called Li Xingzhou over and explained the play to him for a while, using the few seconds of Lin Yi's performance as a demonstration.
Anyway, I don’t know whether Li Xingzhou listened or not. When Li Xingzhou came out, his face didn’t look very good. When he passed by Lin Yi, he glanced at him and then walked away expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Chen Qiaoxu was afraid that Lin Yi was too young and would take it to heart, so he comforted him, "Don't take it to heart, he is just like that, it's not against you personally, he must be feeling really bad after being hungry all morning."
At this moment, there was a sudden bustling sound outside. Chen Qiaoxu and Lin Yi turned around and saw that a car used by the crew drove in.
Archie ran in quickly beside the car and shouted to the crew members: "The nutrient solution has arrived."
Everyone started to get agitated and rushed over there.
In fact, it was not the real nutrient solution that arrived, but the crew had people coordinate for a whole morning, and the military finally agreed to give them some nutrient solution. The amount was not much, just one bottle per person, which was enough to solve the crew's urgent needs at the moment.
Everyone had been hungry for the whole morning, so they didn't care about manners at this moment and just rushed forward to grab the food.
Lin Yi was not hungry now, and did not plan to compete with them. He just went back to the rest area and sat down. He did not plan to leave in the afternoon, but planned to watch the next show here.
He was sitting there when suddenly another person sat down on the chair opposite him. Lin Yi looked up and found it was Li Xingzhou.
Li Xingzhou sat down without saying anything, and Lin Yi had no intention of talking to him. The two of them were silent for a while, and Li Xingzhou couldn't hold it anymore, and said in a bad tone: "It must be hard to go from the second male lead to a supporting role, right?"
Lin Yi said calmly: "I think you seem to be suffering more than me."
This was a statement of fact, but it hurt Li Xingzhou's heart. He said angrily, "Why would I need to compare myself with someone like you? Don't you even look at my own reputation now?"
Lin Yi held his chin and looked at Li Xingzhou with some boredom, thinking that he looked like a kindergarten kid.
Chen Qiaoxu, who was not far away, saw them sitting together. Thinking of Li Xingzhou's temper, he was a little worried that Lin Yi would be bullied by him, so he walked back quickly. When Li Xingzhou saw him, he really restrained himself a little. Although he had a sour face, he didn't say anything.
After a while, Li Xingzhou's assistant came back with nutrient solution.
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't go to get the nutrient solution, Chen Qiaoxu was a little surprised: "Lin Yi, aren't you going to get the nutrient solution?"
Li Xingzhou's assistant immediately said, "The nutrient solution is gone."
She knew what Li Xingzhou liked to hear. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Xingzhou's face relaxed a lot. He looked at Lin Yi with sarcasm, then turned to his assistant and said, "I don't feel well. Please tell the director to postpone my part to tomorrow, so that he can shoot Lin Yi's part first."
Chen Qiaoxu frowned upon hearing this and said, "Li Xingzhou, why are you doing this?"
He turned to Lin Yi and said, "I'll ask if there's any nutrient solution left for you."
Chen Qiaoxu stood up and waved to Archie. When Archie came over, he asked, "Do you have any more nutrient solution? Give Lin Yi a bottle."
If it was someone else, it would be fine. But when it came to Lin Yi, Archie was worried that he couldn't find a way to target him. He said, "The amount of nutrient solution is limited now. We can only divide it according to the importance of the cast and crew. Of course, there will be no more for him."
"If you don't have any ability, you will starve. This is the reality." Li Xingzhou was in a good mood and said something sarcastic.
There were quite a few extras nearby who were quite good at "judging the situation" and burst into laughter at Li Xingzhou's words, and the scene was quite unsightly for a moment.
There is no shortage of people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak in the circle, so Lin Yi doesn't take this to heart.
At this moment, the sound of an approaching aircraft reached everyone's ears.
Many people looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that a small aircraft, approximately one cubic meter in size, was descending toward them from mid-air. There was a conspicuous military canteen logo on the outside of the aircraft.
The aircraft paused in the air for a while, scanned the crowd, and then flew straight to the rest area as if it had locked onto a target, and stopped steadily at Lin Yi's feet.
After the aircraft landed, its shape immediately changed. A display screen appeared on the square top, and Xiao D immediately flashed out.
"Sir, I learned that your crew has applied for a batch of emergency nutrient solution. I guess it's time for you to have lunch. I can't stand letting you eat such low-quality nutrient solution, so I hurriedly prepared some lunch for you. I hope you don't mind eating the same lunch as the critics."
The people around who were holding the low-level nutrient solution and were originally very happy, suddenly fell silent and the women cried as they were stabbed to death by a knife.
It turns out that life’s blows are far more than that.
After Xiao D finished speaking, the aircraft began to take out food from its stomach layer by layer, first a plate of braised pork, then a stack of steamed buns, followed by a bowl of steaming hot sour soup dumplings, and a plate of white rice, and finally a whole row of high-grade nutrient solutions of various shapes, functions, and flavors.
Lin Yi picked up a bottle of soda water, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back and took a sip, then put the bottle down and found that everyone around him was staring at him, especially Li Xingzhou who was sitting opposite him, his eyes were almost popping out.
Lin Yi picked up the chopsticks and smiled at him, saying frankly: "Sorry, I have to eat by my own ability."
"Would you like to eat together?" He pushed the authentic braised pork in front of Chen Qiaoxu and invited him generously.
Perhaps because he felt that the irony of the current situation was too funny, Chen Qiaoxu came back to his senses and laughed. With Li Xingzhou's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, he sat down next to Lin Yi unceremoniously, "Then I'll thank you for your help."
The author has something to say: Hehe, thank you all for your mines. I will be posting the update tomorrow, so I will temporarily change it from early morning to noon. This change will only be applied tomorrow, so I will notify you in advance.
