Chapter 108: Mission Completed

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the painting reputation task, breaking a thousand, and successfully obtaining a bronze treasure chest and a silver treasure chest.]

Five days later.

Lin Yuan finally completed the painting task announced by the system just before the deadline. Listening to the pleasant notification sound, it was worth the effort he put into skipping classes to build a reputation in the painting club for five consecutive days.

He got treasure chests!

Not just one bronze treasure chest.

There's also a silver treasure chest.

Last time, the silver treasure chest gave Lin Yuan a piano piece. I wonder what he'll get this time?

System: "Open now?"

Lin Yuan: "Put it in the subspace first."

He decided to keep the treasure chests for now and open them when he's feeling lucky.

Opening a chest is a mystical thing. If you open it carelessly and get something undesirable, what do you do?

The system doesn't allow returns.

After completing the task.

Lin Yuan felt much more relaxed.

Next, he planned to continue writing the first volume of "Jade Dynasty."

The novel is divided into eight volumes by the system, each containing around two hundred thousand characters. Lin Yuan has already completed one hundred and fifty thousand characters.

At Lin Yuan's speed, he could finish the remaining characters in three or two days, even in his spare time.

While writing, Lin Yuan's mind was constantly flashing scenes from "Jade Dynasty."

The first volume of this novel unfolds from the perspective of Zhang Xiaofan.

As the male protagonist of the novel, Zhang Xiaofan, along with his friend Lin Jingyu, joins the Qingyun Sect. Zhang Xiaofan has mediocre aptitude and no outstanding talents. When they entered the sect, the elders of Qingyun Sect all wanted to take Lin Jingyu as their disciple due to his extraordinary potential, while Zhang Xiaofan was ignored.

Classic mistreated protagonist treatment.

However, in the subsequent plot, Zhang Xiaofan gradually becomes stronger, relying on the initial encounter and the fire stick in his hand.

Not only that.

Zhang Xiaofan also falls in love with the daughter of his master, childhood friend Tian Ling'er. Unfortunately, Tian Ling'er sees Zhang Xiaofan only as a brother, with no romantic feelings.

And so.

As the plot unfolds, with such developments, the entire world of "Jade Dynasty" will gradually become clear in the readers' minds. Lin Yuan has the most profound feelings about writing this.

The ending part of the first volume.

Qingyun Sect is about to hold the Seven Peak Martial Arts Competition!

Zhang Xiaofan will also participate in this martial arts competition, although no one has high hopes for him. His master lets him participate, merely thinking of giving him a chance to broaden his horizons.

But Lin Yuan knows.

Readers won't think like that.

Readers read from a godly perspective, so they are well aware that Zhang Xiaofan is not as weak as he appears.

Zhang Xiaofan has had adventures.

And he has his own magic weapon.

The Seven Sect Martial Arts Competition is the best stage for Zhang Xiaofan to prove himself. Therefore, Lin Yuan believes that any reader who finishes the first volume of "Jade Dynasty" should be most looking forward to Zhang Xiaofan shining in the martial arts competition!

This rhythm is perfect.

Because Zhang Xiaofan's early stage is relatively difficult.

The village undergoes a great change, a disaster, and his cultivation talent is not remarkable. Few people care about his cultivation level. From the reader's perspective, they must be hoping for the protagonist to rise above the challenges.

...

A few days later.

Just as Lin Yuan was planning to finish the first volume of "Jade Dynasty" in one go the next day, he received a call from Xia Fan:

"I have a competition tomorrow!"

"Then I and Jian Yi will accompany you."

Lin Yuan temporarily stopped writing the next day.

Qin Prefecture's annual "Rising Star" is about to begin, and Xia Fan, as a contestant, is going for the preliminary rounds.

Even though Lin Yuan was well aware that Xia Fan's participation in the preliminary rounds was undoubtedly an easy task, he and Jian Yi still accompanied Xia Fan to the venue.

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

As Qin Prefecture's largest talent show event, on the first day of the preliminary rounds, the stadium was packed from top to bottom, and the surrounding area was buzzing with excitement, showing people's enthusiasm for this talent show!

"I'm a bit nervous."

Xia Fan's expression was somewhat serious.

Jian Yi laughed, "Why are you nervous? After all, you've been through many battles, and besides, look at who's standing beside you!"

Xia Fan looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan could only console, "Regardless of the outcome, you have already signed with Starlight, so relax and enjoy the competition. You'll definitely debut next year."

Xia Fan took a deep breath, "Then I'll go backstage."

Lin Yuan and Jian Yi nodded. The contestants had to wait in the backstage area, and if they didn't go on stage on time, their qualification would be directly canceled.

Not long after Xia Fan left, the preliminary rounds began.

Lin Yuan stood below the stage, listening with great interest.

In the future, he would have many songs of different styles that would require different people to sing. If he found someone with good potential here, Lin Yuan could make a mental note for future use.

However, this was still just the preliminary rounds, and the quality varied.

Lin Yuan listened to the performances of eight people in a row, and none of them had particularly impressive voices. Five of them were even interrupted by the judges before they could finish singing.

Xia Fan was the ninth contestant, relatively early in the lineup.

When it was her turn to perform, Lin Yuan and Jian Yi waved frantically below the stage, but unfortunately, there were too many people in the audience, and Xia Fan did not notice.

However, Jian Yi's teasing was not wrong.

Xia Fan was indeed an experienced performer.

In the first round of the preliminary rounds, she sang an old song. After finishing, the judges whispered to each other, and one by one, they raised the signs indicating qualification.

"Thank you, judges!"

Xia Fan bowed and happily walked off the stage, immediately sharing her joy with Lin Yuan and Jian Yi.

"This is just the beginning."

Jian Yi smiled, "You have to work hard in the following rounds. If it doesn't work out, bring out 'The Initial Dream' and shock these judges!"

Xia Fan smiled but didn't say anything.

She didn't plan to use "The Initial Dream" in the competition. It would be a bit wasteful to use this song in a competition just to secure a spot in the next round. She wanted to sing this song when she officially debuted.

Looking at the time, it was getting late.

Jian Yi suggested, "Shall we go back?"

Xia Fan nodded, looking at the two, "Let's go back today. I have many more competitions ahead, but you two don't need to accompany me anymore."

She was just more nervous on the first day.

It wouldn't be practical to trouble them all the time in the following rounds.

The two agreed with a smile.

University life sometimes had quite a bit of free time, but the chance of everyone being free at the same time was not high.

Xia Fan's competition lasted quite a while. Lin Yuan and Jian Yi could accompany her when they were free, and if they were busy, there was nothing they could do.

Back home.

Lin Yuan checked his phone and found that there was still some time before bedtime. He decided to open "Jade Dynasty" and continue writing.

His writing speed was impressive, and updates were no problem at all.

Close to nine o'clock.

Lin Yuan finally completed the first volume of "Jade Dynasty."
