Chapter 6, King of Acting
Xu Nuo knew that he could gain almost limitless power with the help of the ring. He was firmly convinced of this after acquiring proficiency in firearms. If his current strength were sufficient to compel Stark to voluntarily hand over the Iron Man suit, there would be no need for further discussion. However, Xu Nuo was currently very weak, essentially just a somewhat stronger ordinary human. This was his first world, and without having accumulated powerful abilities, Xu Nuo could only choose other methods. However, Xu Nuo was currently very weak, essentially just a somewhat stronger ordinary human. This was his first world, and without having accumulated powerful abilities, Xu Nuo could only choose other methods.
Xu Nuo is willing to seize this opportunity and is prepared to sacrifice everything to change his destiny. He does not wish to spend his life in endless mediocrity. Even if he ultimately fails, he will never regret his choices. Whether he becomes a continuously burning star or a fleeting meteor, it is the same; at least he has once been a star, rather than spending his entire life gazing at the night sky.
Although turning the false into the true is undoubtedly the highest realm of acting, what Xu Nuo desires is not this! He is not someone who is involved in the acting industry.
Although it is not yet fatal, the intense pain and continuous loss of blood have already made Xu Nuo feel dizzy. If timely medical assistance cannot be obtained, this performance might turn into a real tragedy.
When an armed militant suddenly rushed out from the side and raised a gun near Stark, who was wearing Mark I, a thought flashed through Xu Nuo's mind about seizing this opportunity to gain Stark's trust. Instinctively, he moved closer to Stark and shielded him from the bullets
Bastard! Wasn't it said that they would be deployed globally? Why the hell aren't they coming faster? I'm about to bleed out! A wave of dizziness hit me, and with my eyes half-closed, I watched the massive Mark I wreaking havoc in the armed militants' secret base. Yet, I couldn't help but complain in my heart about those American soldiers who are portrayed as incredibly brave and seemingly omnipresent in movies, wondering why they haven't arrived yet
There is no greater kindness than the saving grace, is there? Even if Stark, clad in Mark I, is almost invulnerable.
Although his wounds appeared to be quite dangerous, they did not pose an immediate threat to life. While Stark was hiding in the cave to create Mark I, Promised had already utilized the leftover scraps from Stark to fashion a rudimentary bulletproof vest for himself. It sounds high-tech, but in reality, it was merely two thin metal plates welded together to cover the front and back of his torso
Fortunately, although the tremendous kinetic energy had broken his ribs, the bullet had lost most of its force after penetrating the alloy plate, merely damaging the soft tissue without truly endangering any vital organs. Of course, Xu Nuo also needed to receive timely medical assistance.
When Stark finally completed Mark I and began to break out, Xu Nuo also picked up a weapon to fight alongside Stark. However, Xu Nuo could not be certain whether the actions taken during these days would truly impress a proud genius like Stark, allowing him to confidently entrust a suit of Iron Man armor to himself
After taking down the armed assailant with a swift motion, Stark grabbed the blood-soaked promise on his chest and urgently exclaimed, "Don't worry, my friend! You will be fine, I will definitely get you out of here!"
Living a life of obscurity, once the opportunity to transform like a butterfly from a cocoon or to be reborn from ashes arises, Xu Nuo seems to have completely become another person. The deep-seated belief in his heart that yearns for distinction compels him to take a gamble without hesitation. For he understands profoundly that when the opportunity is right before him, failing to seize it will inevitably lead to regret when it is lost
Who is Tony Stark? He is a super genius who can, through his own strength and intelligence, develop the Iron Man suit that can contend with superheroes possessing various superpowers, enabling ordinary people to become incredibly powerful!
I am doing well. Xu Nuo coughed heavily, and at that moment, the scene resembled a classic film, with armed men around them serving as a magnificent backdrop. Stark, dressed in Mark I, and Xu Nuo, held by Mark I, were like the leading characters in an old movie, engaged in their final conversation. "My friend, you are a genius and should not die in a place like this. Please, you must survive at all costs!"
If Xu Nuo were to write a book titled "The Actor's Self-Cultivation" now, it would undoubtedly be a bestseller. At this moment, Xu Nuo perfectly embodies what it means to reach the highest realm of an actor!
Such outstanding individuals are simply unattainable for Xu Nuo in daily life, existing like the dazzling stars in the sky
In order to seize the opportunity to change one's fate, what actions must be avoided? Gaining Stark's recognition and becoming the person he can trust to take care of the Iron Man suit is the only thing that Xu Nuo and the book at this moment want and need to do.
The bullets are real, and the armed militants firing from the opposite side are not just hired extras for a hundred yuan and a box meal. The power of the assault rifle bullets is so immense that they penetrated a thin alloy steel plate and became lodged in Xu Nuo's body
Just as Xu Nuo wore a lewd smile and reached out his hand towards the beautiful women in front of him, a distant calling sound came from the horizon. Then, he woke up
In this beautiful dream, Xu Nuo is a person of immense power and wealth. He resides in a magnificent villa, complete with a garden and a swimming pool. Every day, he indulges in wines from France, foie gras and truffles, caviar from the Mediterranean, king crabs from Japan, and lobsters from Australia
Xu Nuo had a beautiful dream, a dream he had long anticipated
Although Stark was aware that Xu Nuo had created such a thing, he did not pay much attention to this crude handmade product. The significance of Xu Nuo making this item was also quite simple, which was to save his life
Xunuo believes that the possibility of Stark giving him a large sum of money as a reward after escaping is greater. Although this is also a good option, compared to the benefits that come with having the ring, Xunuo still thinks he should add another layer of insurance for himself. Then, he was shot
"Xu!" Stark, who was nearby, saw his friend take a bullet for him, and then lay on the ground, drenched in blood. His eyes immediately turned red.
A beautiful life, lovely beauties, and a villa with a garden and swimming pool are beckoning to him, promising that nothing should cause him to forfeit this wonderful future life due to the uncertainty of where stray bullets may come from
Having consumed such a large amount of fresh seafood, it is essential to engage in appropriate activities for digestion. In this dream, the vast villa promised is filled with beautiful women from all over the world. Each of these stunning individuals, capable of making a man bleed from the nose, showcases her graceful figure, walking slowly towards the promise.
Finally, at a moment when Xu Nuo's consciousness was somewhat unclear, he felt as if he had taken flight. Just before truly falling into a coma, he finally heard the deafening roar of numerous propellers. Then, with his head tilting to one side, Xu Nuo magnificently fainted amidst Stark's furious shouts
Obtaining the Iron Man suit, which can be regarded as a divine artifact, from such a person is certainly not a simple matter. Individuals like Stark, who are exceptionally talented, are all born geniuses and would never easily engage in any actions that could lead them into trouble. To have Stark willingly bestow the Iron Man suit, one must truly earn his recognition and establish a profound friendship.
And all of this is performed for Stark to see
It is important to note that Stark explicitly stated during the congressional hearing that only he would use the Iron Man suit. If one wishes to persuade Stark to break his promise and hand over the Iron Man suit, which is the fully authorized version, the only way to achieve this is to gain his genuine approval.
In order to achieve his goals, promises can be made without any bottom line. Just like now, he is taking a huge risk by placing himself in front of Stark to take the bullet in order to gain Stark's trust
With a cough, a glimmer of dim light flickered in Xu Nuo's eyes amidst the chaos, and the hand holding the assault rifle trembled slightly. His lips moved, his brow furrowed slightly, and a look of relief appeared on his dust-and-sweat-streaked face, his voice carrying a hint of relief and a faint expectation, "No matter what, please be sure to give me an autograph. I am your fan"
"Damn it, I really went all out this time." Looking at the fresh blood gushing from his chest, Xu Nuo, with a pale face, trembled his lips, almost unable to believe that he had actually done it
This is what is called acting, this is truly acting with one's life!
As for the results achieved by Xu Nuo, one only needs to look at Stark's face filled with excitement to know that this matter has succeeded! This shot was not taken in vain; risks and opportunities indeed coexist. Without significant investment, how could one possibly reap high returns? Unwilling to settle for mediocrity, Xu Nuo chose to take a chance, and this endeavor will surely bring him great rewards
It should be noted that the doctor with a degree, Ethan, bravely exposed himself when the three began their breakout. After all, the promises of those skilled in firearms merely involved hiding behind the sturdy Mark I and shooting from cover, while that bespectacled doctor Ethan actually took up arms to engage in a shootout with the armed militants. The outcome, of course, was already predetermined.
There is no actor more dedicated than a promise. At this moment, all the best actors at various film festivals are utterly overshadowed by the promise!
For Xu Nuo, being born in an era where birth determines fate should have meant living a life of obscurity. However, fate granted him an opportunity that would not arise for countless generations. An opportunity that would allow him to completely change his destiny
