Chapter 12318
This top-tier second-generation member of the Cao family has a strong presence wherever he goes, and he holds a very special position among the people on the literary talent track.
He is the terminator of the previous literary giant track!
In the realm of academic writing, Cao Luoshen is undoubtedly the pinnacle of aristocratic scions. Last time, she easily ended the literary giant competition with just a slight move, leaving countless writers feeling ashamed of their own abilities.
In comparison, Guo Xianggu, as the pinnacle of a commoner's talent, was also exceptionally gifted, but when placed alongside Cao Luoshen, he still seemed considerably inferior.
If Cao Luoshen were to leave the competition, it's hard to say whether he could still remain at the top of the rankings.
Unfortunately, there is a track protection mechanism.
The track terminator will be unable to enter the same track for ten years.
Otherwise, with Cao Luoshen's extraordinary talent, he could have easily amassed a bunch of godhood fragments just by relying on this literary talent track, making it impossible for others to compete with him.
"What are you doing here?"
Cao Luoshen didn't even glance at Guo Xianggu across from her, seemingly oblivious to the stark difference in atmosphere that had been created by his presence.
Li Tianguo smiled and said, "I'm ranked third on the list, so isn't it normal for me to come and take a look?"
The two hit it off and their relationship has grown much closer in the last couple of days.
Given Li Tianguo's personality, he could make friends with even a dog he met on the street, but Cao Luoshen was different; he had very few friends.
Most of them are busy people like Yuan Chu.
He could only find amusement in Li Tianguo.
Cao Luoshen curled her lip: "What's so interesting about this? Anyway, it's not your turn to finish the race."
"..."
Li Tianguo's face darkened: "Friends are friends, but what you're saying is a bit hurtful."
Cao Luoshen chuckled: "You still care about that?"
Li Tianguo laughed angrily: "What do you mean? Who doesn't care about this? Anyone with a normal brain would come in here for that final reward, right?"
Cao Luoshen glanced at him sideways: "Sorry, I really didn't realize you were a normal person. I was wrong."
Li Tianguo, his face stern, said, "Just tell me how you plan to compensate me."
Cao Luoshen thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the newly crowned God of Cookery is coming to Tianjun soon. I'll treat you to a good meal then."
"The newly crowned God of Cookery?"
Li Tianguo was taken aback: "You mean that female food goddess named Gan Niannian?"
Cao Luoshen nodded: "Her relationship with Lin Yi is special. We can ask about Lin Yi's whereabouts and introduce you to him later."
As the two were talking, a sudden uproar broke out in the vicinity.
At this moment, in the literary talent track, Lin Yi, disguised as Tang Qingxue, began to get down to business.
The moment he opened his hand, he dazzled everyone.
"Han Yu, the standard-bearer of the Classical Prose Movement, revived literature after eight generations of decline. His 'On Teachers' shook the world, and he remonstrated against the Buddha's relics even after dying nine times!"
"Liu Zongyuan spent ten years in Yongzhou, where he wrote 'Eight Records of Yongzhou,' which fully expressed his indignation at the beauty of nature, and 'The Snake Catcher's Tale,' which pierced the wounds of humanity!"
"Ouyang Xiu, the leading figure in the literary world, whose 'Record of the Drunken Pavilion' brought joy to the people and mentored the three Su brothers, thus initiating the literary style of the Northern Song Dynasty!"
"Su Xun began his studies at the age of twenty-seven. His 'On the Six States' dissected history with sharp and incisive strokes. Old Quan's writings were like thunder that shattered the dark night!"
"Zeng Gong, the Master of Nanfeng, upheld the integrity of a Confucian scholar. His writings were upright and profound, like a pillar in the middle of a stream. His reputation for governing the prefectures and counties was renowned far and wide!"
"Wang Anshi's reforms shook the world; he was not afraid of destiny, breaking free from a thousand-year-old shackle; his poetry and prose were as sharp and elegant as plum blossoms standing in the snow!"
"Su Shi, a genius bursting forth! His poetry, lyrics, prose, calligraphy, and painting are all timeless masterpieces; the moon over the Red Cliff illuminates the boundless spirit of humanity!"
"Su Zhe, calm as the sea, his 'Record of the Kuai Zai Pavilion in Huangzhou' contains the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, and his diplomatic skills protected the country amidst the storms!"
Everyone was stunned.
After a long silence, someone couldn't help but mutter, "Does this old woman even know what she's doing? How can you play like this on a literary talent show?"
Not just the literary talent track, but no one would play it this way on any other track.
The character track, as the name suggests, is for creating characters.
Although there is no explicit rule that you can only create one protagonist at a time, there are successful cases of having two or three protagonists, but they are relatively rare.
Creating eight main characters right off the bat—let alone a successful case, even if it's just messing around, very few people would be crazy enough to do that.
Everyone was both amused and exasperated: "Does she think that the more characters she creates, the more achievement points she'll get?"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
If such a loophole existed, creating eight protagonists at once wouldn't be a problem, let alone eight.
In each character track, there is no shortage of whimsical and imaginative thinkers.
Many ordinary people, in particular, are obsessed with this.
There was no other way; in a normal, methodical competition, they couldn't gain any advantage against the scions of powerful families. They had no choice but to resort to these unorthodox methods to take shortcuts.
Of course, most of the time it's a dead end.
Occasionally, one or two loopholes might be found, allowing them to enjoy a small windfall, but these loopholes would be quickly patched up afterward.
Even if we take a step back and assume that there are any loopholes in each track that can be reused, in the end, the biggest beneficiaries will definitely not be ordinary people at the bottom of society.
Those who actually get to eat meat are still the aristocratic families.
Lin Yi's actions were nothing short of a joke to anyone in the know.
The next second, my achievement points suddenly skyrocketed.
"Twenty points? He only listed eight names, and that's already twenty points?"
Everyone was collectively confused.
Finishing a track is difficult, but if you're just looking to rack up achievement points, each track has its own set of strategies.
Whether they are from wealthy families or ordinary people, they all rely on these routines to make a living. The only difference is who knows more routines and who knows fewer.
Even with the best strategy, it's hard to get past 20 points.
Especially in the literary talent category, everything depends on the works themselves.
Let alone twenty points, even for an ordinary person to get five achievement points, they need to rack their brains. If they are even slightly less knowledgeable, entering this track is simply asking for humiliation.
When it came to Lin Yi, he started with twenty points.
Why did the art style suddenly change?
"He doesn't need to produce any works to speak for himself; he can still rack up twenty achievement points this way. Has he found a new way to play the literary master track?"
A word to awaken the dreamer.
The eyes of everyone present immediately lit up.
For skilled players aiming to finish the race, twenty achievement points may not seem like much, but for the vast majority of them, the rewards they represent are quite substantial.
Even a slight improvement in the basics is enough to break through to a higher level.
Many people work hard all year round and don't necessarily achieve this kind of result.
For the participants in the literary talent track, this was an unexpected and delightful surprise.
After all, most of them genuinely can't produce any decent articles or works. They spend their whole lives pretending to be cultured, and in the end, they only manage to accumulate a handful of achievement points, which is simply shameful.
This gave them a glimmer of hope.
