Chapter 165 - 156 New Task_1
Back home.
Lin Yuan saw that Jian Yi was in the kitchen, and the room was filled with an eerie smell.
Jian Yi called out to him: “This is our dinner!”
Lin Yuan opened his mouth and quickly closed it. The smell was too strong, and he couldn’t tell what Jian Yi was cooking.
Was he stewing shit?
Not wanting to discourage Jian Yi’s recent enthusiasm for cooking, he returned to his room and tightly closed the door behind him.
“Ding Dong.”
The System suddenly appeared: “Congratulations host for completing the second order of the branch company, triggering a new task”
[Task Name: Better to teach a person to fish than to give them a fish]
[Task Content: Given the impending departure of you, the hostel, the branch company is likely to return to its previous state. The host school is to choose any three people from Starlight Music as composers and enhance their composing abilities before graduation]
[Task Reward: Each day you may use a two-hour Yang Zhongming character card]
[Task Reminder: Yang Zhongming’s knowledge and experience in composing are very rich but cannot be used by the host for original work This is because this knowledge does not belong to the host itself. If the host has the desire to compose an original piece, the Yang Zhongming character card will be unusable, and creativity must be based on the host’s own knowledge and skills.]
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment.
After some analysis, he roughly understood the System’s intention.
The System wanted him to use the Yang Zhongming character card to mentor students in the branch company.
But the System was afraid he would use Yang Zhongming’s knowledge to write songs.
After all, a song written in earnest by someone of Yang Zhongming’s caliber could be on the same quality level as the ones the System had been providing. Therefore, the System imposed certain restrictions.
“I accept.”
With the System’s prompt, Lin Yuan saw an extra character card in his warehouse.
“Activate the character card.”
Lin Yuan had a thought, and the character card began to activate.
Lin Yuan thought he would become Lin Zhongming Yuan, but in fact, Yang Zhongming’s personal character had not affected him at all.
He only felt that a large amount of composing new knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.
Many of these pieces of knowledge were far more advanced than his current college course.
It was then that Lin Yuan could comprehend how powerful the Maestro really was!
In a sense, Yang Zhongming was like a human-shaped textbook of composing knowledge!
The amount of composing knowledge in his mind was both shocking and intimidating!
He even had a feeling that he wouldn’t need much inspiration to complete a decent song.
However, the moment he had the idea to compose a song, the memories provided by the Yang Zhongming character card disappeared instantly.
Lin Yuan’s knowledge of composition returned to the level that he had recently learned in “Advanced Composition and Chords”.
Lin Yuan tried to find an accurate description:
“I want to create a Transformer, but the System cancels the effect of the character card. Without the boost from the character card, I can’t create the Transformer.”
This description was fairly precise.
Until Lin Yuan gives up creating the Transformer…
Until Lin Yuan gives up on using this knowledge to write a song, this knowledge will reappear.
So the lessons and summary of using the character card are:
The System excels at using the power of 4.04..
Lin Yuan had a sudden thought: “I can’t use it directly to compose, but can I deliberately learn this knowledge during the activation of the character card?”
“You can. This is a special usage of the character card.”
The System asked: “Does the host want to start learning?”
“Let’s start.”
Lin Yuan looked forward to it.
In an instant, he felt that his surroundings became blurry and distorted.
When he recovered, he found himself in a clean small classroom.
There was only one person in the classroom.
And that emotionless middle-aged man standing on the podium was Yang Zhongming.
Lin Yuan asked: “Where is this?”
The System said: “This is the world within the host’s brain. Time here passes very slowly. Two hours of learning in your mind only takes two minutes in the outside world.”
Lin Yuan was taken aback: “Did you bring Yang Zhongming here?”
What if he wants to use the bathroom?
Is there even a bathroom in his head?
The System said: “This is only a character projection, not bringing Yang Zhongming into this space. Now, Yang Zhongming will teach you, the System default assumes that the Yang Zhongming projection is using the Teacher’s Halo.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
Can the Teacher’s Halo be used like this?
That’s true.
After all, the character card does belong to himself.
Before Lin Yuan could say anything else, Yang Zhongming in front of him suddenly began speaking: “Don’t daydream during class, or you’ll have to stand outside. You are now in your third year of college. I’ll start explaining from there…”
“Alright.”
Lin Yuan sat upright.
It’s normal for a teacher to be strict.
Students should act like students during class, and there’s a time limit on the character card. I can only have this class for two hours a day. Every minute counts.
“Today we will talk about chord progression.”
Yang Zhongming was still expressionless. He didn’t need a textbook and started explaining directly.
A lot of what he covered were things Lin Yuan only half-understood before.
Lin Yuan wasn’t sure if it was due to Yang Zhongming’s great teaching or the effect of the Teacher’s Halo, but he was quickly able to understand the course.
Lin Yuan had never been able to learn this efficiently in school!
Therefore, Lin Yuan cherished this time.
Two hours later, Yang Zhongming’s memory disappeared, and Lin Yuan snapped back to reality from that wonderful state.
He suddenly felt as if he knew nothing.
This made Lin Yuan feel a sense of frustration. In terms of actual ability, he was worlds apart from Yang Zhongming.
However, the learning efficiency within those two hours was truly horrifying.
Lin Yuan felt that the academic progress he made in half a month at school could not compare to the two-hour teaching by Yang Zhongming!
He even wished he could continue learning from Yang Zhongming.
Unfortunately, the character card was now in a cool-down state and could not be used till tomorrow.
“Friendly reminder.”
The System said: “If the host is unable to complete the teaching task within the task period, the Yang Zhongming character card will become invalid.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yuan was resolved to finish this task as he wished to continue learning from Yang Zhongming!
With Yang Zhongming’s experience and knowledge, along with the effect of the Teacher’s Halo, Lin Yuan felt that teaching three decent composers was not all that difficult.
Lin Yuan asked, “What is the standard for completing the task?”
The System said: “The System has its own evaluation standards. The host needs to do the task well, and when the apprentice can be certified, the System will provide a prompt.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yuan took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Dong: “Could you send me the profiles of everyone in the composition department, including the songs they have composed in the past?”
After all this, Lin Yuan got up to open the door, and a strong stench filled his nose.
“It’s just in time. Let’s eat.”, Jian Yi said with a smile.
Lin Yuan stepped back: “What did you make?”
Jian Yi said: “Snail Noodles.”
