Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 685: Defense Value Skyrockets!

The scene went live on Weibo right then.

After the "Wilderness Survival" show ended, Jiang Yan had been out of the spotlight, but once the live stream started, thousands of people flooded in again.

[What’s happening? Who’s fighting?]

[That shiny bald head... isn’t that Young Master Jiang?]

[Did Young Master Jiang finally land a role? Why is he always getting beaten up wherever he goes?]

[From what the sisters in the comment section are saying, it seems like the action coach from this crew disapproves of Jiang Yan and wanted to test him.]

[OMG, the lead actor in this movie being shot is Xiao Luo, and his action scenes are famously superb. How could Jiang Yan dare?]

In the shot, under Wu Jin’s baton attacks, Jiang Yan could only cover his head and scurry around erratically.

"Damn, is this for real?"

"No, hey, I haven’t learned anything, go easy on me!"

"Fuck, who’s responsible if he gets a concussion?"

The screen was filled with a string of hahaha, all mocking Jiang Yan’s incompetence.

Some even lamented that he shouldn’t be in the entertainment industry at all; after all, having spent so much time on a deserted island, he still hadn’t learned anything.

People around were laughing at Jiang Yan’s expense, and even Luo Xingmu’s assistant sighed and shook his head.

"Brother Mu, your partner this time doesn’t seem very competent. Can this movie really be made?"

However, Luo Xingmu looked serious, "Did you watch carefully?"

The assistant, confused, "Do I need to watch carefully? Young Master Jiang is already getting beaten up like this."

Yet Luo Xingmu laughed lightly, eyes deep, "Really? When did Mr. Wu’s baton touch him?"

With that point made by Luo Xingmu, the assistant suddenly widened his eyes.

Right, isn’t Wu Jin a graduate of a martial arts academy and a disciple of some sect?

When Brother Mu sparred with him before, he was floored in less than three moves.

Though Jiang Yan was scrambling embarrassingly, Wu Jin’s baton hadn’t even touched the hem of his clothes!

Wu Jin also realized something was off.

Though Jiang Yan kept pleading for mercy, he had precisely dodged every one of his attacks.

They had been running around the area for more than ten laps, yet he had never managed to touch Jiang Yan.

This guy.

He’s quite good at dodging.

Ten minutes quickly passed, and Jiang Li stood up and called a halt.

Jiang Yan, gasping for breath, collapsed on a table, glaring resentfully at Jiang Li.

"Are, are you still my dear sister? How could you be so cruel!"

Jiang Li ignored him, instead turning towards Wu Jin who was also slightly catching his breath.

"How about it, Mr. Wu?"

[How about it? Probably a negative score in physical strength, right?]

[Jiang Li still really loves her brother, to still ask the coach if her brother was alright after all this.]

However, Wu Jin gave an answer that stunned everyone—

"He passed."

Jiang Yan: ?

Everyone: ??

Netizens: ???

How, how did he pass???

Jiang Yan clearly looked like he was running around with his head held in fear!

A minor actor in the crew couldn’t hold back and stood up.

"Why does that count as him passing?"

He was the fourth male lead in the play, initially drawn by the role of the second male lead and had come to audition, only to be told the role was already taken.

Originally thought it was some big shot in the industry.

Turned out to be just a rich kid who got in through the back door!

How could he not be furious?

However, Wu Jin waved him over and said, "Come here and spar with me."

The young actor stormed over, rolled up his sleeves, ready to show off his skills, but in the next second, he was flipped over by Wu Jin.

Young actor: ???

Luo Xingmu couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

"You guys really think Mr. Wu was going easy on purpose? Haven’t you figured it out yet? Although Brother Jiang keeps begging for mercy, Mr. Wu hasn’t even touched his hand. Isn’t that a skill in itself?"

Everyone was shocked.

Netizens were also shocked.

[I go, it seems like it really is the case!]

[I just watched the replay again, Young Master is pretty awesome, dodged every strike!]

[Could this be the legendary negative combat value, but off-the-charts defense value???]

Jiang Li nodded in agreement, "Mr. Luo is right, Jiang Yan may not understand martial arts, but his flexibility and agility are still higher than most people."

She noticed this while on the Deserted Island.

Although Jiang Yan wasn’t strong and couldn’t fight well, he was unmatched when it came to running away.

He could detect potential enemies the fastest, sneak into enemy territory unnoticed to steal breakfast, and escape before being noticed.

Isn’t that a skill of its own?

So, she focused on training that ability of his on the island as well, and fortunately, the training went well, even if he wasn’t aware of it, his body’s instincts would make the quickest judgments.

Jiang Yan was stunned himself.

How was he not aware of this skill before?

But after thinking it through, he felt it seemed right.

When he was young and made mistakes, chased by his grandfather and Mr. Jiang, he was never caught!

With this in mind, he stopped gasping for breath and stood up proudly, hands on his hips.

"See, I’m not a pushover."

[.....]

[Was just about to compliment him, forget it, leaving, being a fan of Jiang Yan really embarrasses me.]

[Sure enough, Young Master’s biggest haters are his own fans hahaha.]

Jiang Yan climbed to the number one spot on the trending searches with the "off-the-charts defense value" tag, also giving Shao Changqing’s previously obscure movie a little splash in the entertainment circle.

Subsequently, with this bit of heat, quite a few advertisers approached them, solving a part of their urgent needs.

Jiang Yan passed the assessment, and everyone was happy.

Shao Changqing was happier than anyone.

He was initially worried about whether Jiang Yan could carry the role, but now he confidently arranged for a makeup artist to start on Jiang Yan immediately.

"Jiang Yan has already delayed the shooting by a month or two, so his schedule following this will likely be quite tight, with a lot of scenes to shoot."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already had his belongings moved here, he’ll be living on set from now on."

Shao Changqing: ?

The next second, Ji Yanbai threw three large packages onto the ground, then dusted off his hands.

"It’s all here."

Jiang Li turned to Shao Changqing, "Sorry to trouble you, Director Shao."

Shao Changqing opened his mouth, "But Miss Jiang, the conditions here are really poor, I can’t even stand it, can your brother manage?"

"He’ll have to manage." Jiang Li asserted decisively.

Since coming back from Dragon Ridge Island, Jiang Yan spent every day either drinking outside or driving around.

The regular routine he finally established was now completely messed up.

This place, with no village in front or store behind, surrounded by mountains, didn’t even have a bus service.

It was like a natural prison tailor-made for him.
