Chapter 111: Chapter 108 Task Completed_i

Translator: 549690339

“Ding Dong! Congratulations host on completing the task of achieving a thousand prestige points in painting, successfully obtaining a Bronze Treasure Chest, and a Silver Treasure Chest.”

Five days later.

Lin Yuan finally completed the painting task recruited by the System just before the deadline. Hearing the pleasing notification sound felt like his efforts of skipping classes to earn prestige points in the Art Club over these five days weren’t wasted in vain.

He got treasure chests!

Not just one Bronze Treasure Chest.

There was also a Silver Treasure Chest.

Last time, from a Silver Treasure Chest, Lin Yuan obtained piano music. Who knows what he will pull out this time?

System: “Would you like to open it?”

Lin Yuan: “Store them in the warehouse for now.”

He decided to save the treasure chests and open them when he felt lucky.

Opening chests was a bit of an uncertain art. You randomly open a chest and what if you get something bad?

The System wouldn’t allow him to return the item either.

After the task was done.

Lin Yuan felt rather relieved.

Next, he planned to continue writing the first volume of “Zhu Xian”.

The novel was divided into eight volumes by the System, with each volume having around two hundred thousand words.

Presently, Lin Yuan had already written one hundred and fifty thousand words. With Lin Yuan’s typing speed, in two or three days, he could finish the rest, and that too in between other tasks.

If he were to cut class to write like he did for the task, he would be able to finish the first volume in less than a day.

While writing the novel, Lin Yuan’s mind is constantly flashing scenes from

“Zhu Xian”.

The story of the first volume unfolds from the perspective of Zhang Xiaofan.

As the male protagonist of the novel, Zhang Xiaofan and his good friend Lin Jingyu join the Qingyun Sect together.

Zhang Xiaofan is not very talented, unlike his friend Lin Jingyu who is very gifted in cultivation. As a result, all the elders of the Qingyun Sect wanted to take Lin Jingyu as their disciple, while Zhang Xiaofan was completely ignored.

Standard treatment for the inept.

In the following plot, Zhang Xiaofan gradually becomes stronger through his initial adventures and a magic weapon called the Burning Stick

Not only that.

Zhang Xiaofan falls in love with his master’s daughter, Tian Ling’er, who he had grown up with, but unfortunately, Tian Ling’er only saw Zhang Xiaofan as a brother, without any romantic sentiments involved.

Just like that.

As the plot progressively gets deeper, the entire worldview of “Zhu Xian” gradually takes shape in front of the readers, which was what Lin Yuan felt most deeply about as he continued writing.

At the end of the first volume.

The Qingyun Sect is about to hold the Seven-Sect Martial Arts Contest! Zhang Xiaofan will also participate in this contest. However, no one has any expectations of Zhang Xiaofan, and his master only hopes that Zhang Xiaofan can gain some experience.

But Lin Yuan knows.

The readers won’t think so.

Readers are observing the book from the perspective of a distant god, so they are very clear that Zhang Xiaofan is not as weak as he seems.

Zhang Xiaofan has his extraordinary experiences.

And he has his own magic weapon.

The Seven-Sect Martial Arts Contest is the best stage for Zhang Xiaofan to prove himself. Therefore, Lin Yuan believes that any reader who has finished the first volume of “Zhu Xian” would be most looking forward to Zhang Xiaofan shining in the contest!

The pacing is just right.

Zhang Xiaofan goes through some tough times in the beginning.

He went through a great catastrophe in his village. His cultivation talent was weak, and few people took his cultivation seriously. From the readers’ perspective, they must be hoping for the protagonist to vent out his frustration.

A few days later.

Just as Lin Yuan was planning to finish the first volume of “Zhu Xian” in one go the next day, he received a call from Xia Fan.

“I have a competition tomorrow!”

“Then Jian Yi and I will come with you.”

Lin Yuan temporarily stopped writing the next day.

Qin Continent’s annual “Bloom” was about to begin, and Xia Fan, as a contestant, had to go through the preliminary rounds.

Even though deep down, they knew that Xia Fan passing the preliminary rounds would be a piece of cake, Lin Yuan and Jian Yi still accompanied her to the competition venue.

The venue for the preliminary rounds was Su City’s largest stadium.

As the biggest talent show in Qin Continent, on the first day of the preliminary rounds, the stadium was crowded and filled with excitement. It was clear how enthusiastic people were about this competition!

“I’m a bit nervous.”

Xia Fan looked somewhat serious.

Jian Yi laughed: “What are you nervous about, you are a veteran, and moreover, look who’s standing next to you!”

Xia Fan looked at Lin Yuan.

All Lin Yuan could do was reassure her, “Regardless of the result, you have already signed with Starlight, so just relax and enjoy the competition. You can definitely make your debut next year.”

Xia Fan took a deep breath: “Then I’ll head backstage.”

Lin Yuan and Jian Yi nodded. Contestants had to wait in the backstage area. If they don’t show up on time, they risk being disqualified.

Soon after Xia Fan left, the preliminary rounds began.

Lin Yuan stood in the audience, listening with great interest.

In the future, he would have many different styles of songs that would require different people to sing.

If he found any promising talents here, Lin Yuan could take note, as he could use their talents later.

However, as this was the preliminary round, it was a mixed bag of talent.

Lin Yuan listened to eight people perform back to back, but none of their voices amazed him.

Five of them were even cut off by the judges halfway through their songs.

Xia Fan was the ninth contestant to perform and was one of the earlier ones to take the stage.

When it was her turn to perform, Lin Yuan and Jian Yi waved their hands frantically from below the stage, unfortunately, Xia Fan didn’t notice because of the large crowd.

But Jian Yi’s teasing wasn’t wrong.

Xia Fan was indeed a battle-hardened veteran.

For the first round of the preliminaries, she sang an old song. After the performance, the judges conversed briefly before unanimously raising their boards indicating she had advanced to the next round.

“Thank you, judges!”

Xia Fan bowed, stepped down cheerfully, and promptly shared her joy with Lin Yuan and Jian Yi.

“This is just the beginning.”

Jian Yi said with a smile: “You need to keep putting in more effort as the competition progresses. If it really comes to it, just sing ‘Initial Dream’ and shock all the judges!”

Xia Fan just smiled without responding.

She wasn’t planning on singing ‘Initial Dream’ in the competition – using it simply for winning a position in the next round seemed like a waste. She wanted to sing this song when she made her official debut.

Seeing that it was getting late.

Jian Yi suggested: “Shall we go back?”

Xia Fan nodded, saying to the two of them: “Let’s go back today. I have several more rounds to participate in, but you two don’t have to accompany me.”

She was only nervous this first day.

She couldn’t inconvenience them both throughout the competition.

The two of them agreed with a laugh.

Although university life is somewhat leisurely, it is not common for everyone to be free at the same time.

The duration of Xia Fan’s competition was quite long. Lin Yuan and Jian Yi could accompany her if they were free, but if they weren’t, there was nothing they could do.

After returning home.

Lin Yuan looked at his phone and felt that there was still some time before bedtime, so he opened “Zhu Xian” and continued to write.

With his fast typing, updating was not a big deal.

Around nine o’clock.

Lin Yuan finally completed the first volume of “Zhu Xian”.
