Chapter 256 Artist's Work

"They are all amazing people."

Sitting on the chair, Tilan looked at the information of these people carefully, and some thoughts came to her mind. In the past, any of these geniuses would need her to look up to them, but now it is just an unimportant name on the list, and no one can find any fault with it whether she is selected or not.

Is this the taste of power? Will I be addicted to this sense of superiority one day? She tapped her brow with her finger, and the cold touch spread.

Always stay alert, this is just the beginning, Tilan, the girl said to herself, and then concentrated on selecting.

Although there are many suitable people, considering the limited number of people who will appear and the problem of reasonable team configuration, she had to eliminate some.

20 minutes later, after the 12 people who were scheduled to appear were finalized, Tilan handed the list to Anneli.

"That's all. If we get the highest score in the first stage, 12 people can appear on stage. Of course, if it is an extremely bad situation, the judges will all give zero points, and only 2 people will appear on stage."

"No, I believe in Tilan~" Anneli cheered the girl up.

"Then I will go and inform everyone first. If Tilan is tired now, she can go to the small room next to her to take a nap." Anneli also knows that Tilan likes to take a nap.

"I know." Although it is a good thing to be understood and sympathized by others, Tilan also felt a little embarrassed for some reason. As the president, she was lazy and sleeping in the office. It would be a bit bad if it got out.

No matter what, take a nap first. After thinking about it, Tilan summoned the big spider from the shadow beside her.

"Just squat under the desk and don't move. If someone comes, press the button to wake me up next door. Do you understand?"

The big spider moved its legs, its black eyes turned slightly, and it made a slight hissing sound to show that it understood.

"Uh, and don't scare others, and it's best not to let others see it." Tilan instructed again.

"Hiss." Although the big spider felt a little wronged and lost a lot of fun, he nodded when he saw Tilan's serious look, indicating that he understood.

"That's good, good boy, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow." Tilan promised a benefit to make this naughty guy obedient, and then went to the side to rest.

Time passed leisurely, and on the second day, Tilan came to where Ge Yin lived.

"This place... is really special." Tilan looked at the layout of this room, and her eyes swept over various mysterious and floating objects from time to time.

The dormitory of Edes Academy is basically similar to the apartment in the city. Two students live in one room, which has a full range of facilities, such as kitchen, bathroom, living room, toilet, etc., and the bedroom is also separate.

Ge Yin's room is the only one of hers, and the space inside the room is filled with different objects of different sizes, some of which should be some kind of high-tech equipment, some are like ancient mysterious creations, and some are specialties from other star fields.

When Tilan asked about the origins of these things, Ge Yin replied that they were all purchased online.

"Interstellar logistics is very expensive, right?" Tilan had heard classmates mention this kind of online shopping before. Generally, only a small number of high-value-added items are worth the expensive transportation fees of Interstellar Logistics.

"Yeah." Nodding, Ge Yin stopped answering. Unless Tilan continued to ask, she usually didn't explain too much.

"Okay, are these all Ge Yin's musical instruments?" In a corner of the bedroom, Tilan found several boxes and boxes piled together. From the outline, she could guess that they were musical instruments.

After helping to pick them up, the two went all the way to the music room.

"First, the violin."

After opening the box, Tilan saw a finely crafted violin. Its overall material was like white ivory, and the surface was carved with lifelike flowers. It felt very light to hold. Even someone like Tilan who didn't pay attention to luxury goods could see that this was definitely a work of art.

After putting the violin on her shoulder, Ge Yin gently played it. The soothing and clear sound echoed in the room, and then slowly drifted away.

A few minutes later, Tilan applauded. She had not expected that Ge Yin's attainments in playing the musical instrument were so high. She was even a little better than herself, although that was also because she had not practiced much.

"When did Ge Yin learn to play the violin?"

"When I was 9 years old."

"How long did it take?"

"Initially, half a year, then a year in the middle, and then another two years of study." Ge Yin put down the violin and answered in a cold voice.

"Do you like it?"

"I don't hate it, but my mother likes it." She then put the violin away, opened another box, and took out a guitar from it.

The black guitar had a silver coating on the edge. When Ge Yin tuned and plucked the strings, hidden lines appeared on the surface of the black guitar, outlining the shape of a white rose. The overall look was also very beautiful.

"It's very unusual." Looking at this guitar, Ti Lan had this feeling again.

In the subsequent guitar performances, reed pipes, piano, and trumpet, Ge Yin performed far beyond the level of ordinary people, but gradually Ti Lan also discovered the problem. Although Ge Yin was a master in technique and reached the level of a professional, the emotions in the melody were also very simple. This subtle difference could not be heard by ordinary people, but she could slowly perceive it in her ears.

It was like an exquisite, yet cold and quiet work of art.

Yes, that was the feeling, and an image slowly emerged in Tilan's mind.

"What does Ge Yin's mother do?"

Finally, she couldn't help asking this question. In fact, it was a bit abrupt, but fortunately Ge Yin didn't care about it, and his mood remained calm.

"My mother is a famous artist who likes sculpture, engraving, painting, etc." Ge Yin introduced calmly, then took out his personal terminal, entered a name and showed it to Tilan.

"Safaqiqilis H. Ethelred is a well-known artist. At the age of 21, she won the second place in the 478th 'Tricolor Feather' Art Contest with her work 'Eyes in the Pale Prism'. At the age of 24, she won the third place in the 227th 'Beauty of True Blood' Art Contest with her work 'Torn Face'. At the age of 29, she won the championship of the 829th 'Ode Festival' in the Double Tree Star Domain with her work 'Tears of the Flower Crown Girl', which caused a sensation. However, three years later, she suddenly announced her marriage, and then withdrew from the art circle and no new works were released."

In the picture, the image of a woman with straight silver hair, dark purple eyeshadow, and a cold face emerged. She was wearing a silver suit with long sleeves and trousers, but the style was particularly different, giving a sense of exaggeration and shock. If you didn't observe carefully, you wouldn't think that this was Ge Yin's mother, because the two people's temperaments were very different, but upon closer inspection, you would find that both of them had an indescribable sense of coldness.

"Were Ge Yin's instruments also given by her mother?" Tilan could see that those instruments were carefully crafted and did not look like things that could be bought on the market.

"Yes."

"Does Ge Yin like her mother?"

"No." She shook her head, and for the first time showed an answer that did not show dislike.

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"What about your father?"

"My father was dumped by my mother."

Well, it seems that this question cannot be answered.

After the test was over, Tilan helped Ge Yin put away the instruments and thought about the future plans.

At present, with Ge Yin's joining, the band members are almost complete, and the combatants have now been selected. What remains is the continuous running-in to achieve perfection.
