Lecture invitation
Alliance Dream Builder University, the top dream builder university in the universe, is a comprehensive art school. Its sub-specialties such as screenwriting, directing, music, and fine arts are all very famous.
Although theoretically there is no entry threshold for the profession of dream builder, if a dream builder has a diploma from Lianmeng University, it will be a golden signboard when signing with a company.
Yun Yongxue graduated from Lianmeng University when he was less than 14 years old, making him the youngest graduate in the past five years.
Given the age of this body, Shang Jingyan did not expect that the first time he was invited to a university would not be as a student, but as a guest speaker.
The inviter was Lin Yuemian’s lover. Shang Jingyan actually knew her—to be precise, it was a one-sided acquaintance, because she was the examiner who had parachuted into the Exiled Galaxy Dream Builder Entrance Examination, Zu Lingwei.
Shang Jingyan didn't have a deep impression of Zu Lingwei. He only knew from senior Chai Yuanlin that she was a professor at the Capital Star Alliance Dream Building University. She was good at historical dream building themes and had deep research on history. In addition to dream building courses, she also taught a course on ancient Chinese history at the Alliance Dream Building University.
Shang Jingyan didn't expect that her spouse would be Lin Yuemian. It seems that no matter which world you are in, once you reach a certain level, you will find that the circle can be very small, and the people in it can always be connected.
Seeing that she had found this news again, X71 praised her earnestly: [Yanyan, you are amazing! You haven’t even been to college yet, but you can become a lecturer for college students! ]
Shang Jingyan: [……]
If you were not an artificial intelligence and didn't understand sarcasm, I would think you were scolding me.
X71 asked: [Then Yanyan, will you go and participate? ]
Shang Jingyan propped up his chin and said: [I kind of miss them, but I have to wait until I meet them.]
Lin Yuemiao made an appointment to meet her, and the location was set at Lanheyue.
The starship passed through the jump point and arrived at the port of the Blue River Moon planet.
A few hours later, at Qingxunmu Restaurant.
"This is a special tree species in our Alpha galaxy, called Qingxun wood. The tree where the restaurant is located is more than 300 years old, making it the oldest Qingxun tree in the northern hemisphere of Blue River Moon."
Shang Jingyan introduced that now, she can say the words "our Alpha galaxy" very naturally.
The helicopter carried the three people all the way up, and outside the fully transparent glass was the blue sky and white clouds of Lan Heyue.
Lin Yuemian is a well-maintained middle-aged man. Compared with Sheng Pingsha, he looks obviously older, perhaps because he suffers from syringomyelia.
He has slightly gray temples and his facial features are gentle and non-aggressive. It can be seen that he was a shy boy with a strong bookish air when he was young.
After getting married, he has settled in the main galaxy with his lover. This is the first time he has returned to his hometown in many years.
"It's beautiful. Yuemian once told me about this kind of tree. The real thing is even more stunning than the picture."
Zu Lingwei was the first to speak, and Lin Yuemian said with emotion: "My ancestral home is V066, but I often accompanied my grandmother to Lanheyue to live in my childhood. I miss Qingxunmu very much when I see him."
Zu Lingwei is much older than Lin Yuemian. She is nearly 70 years old this year. Her hair is almost completely white, with silver and gold streaks, and is tied into a bun at the back of her head.
She was tall and thin, with high cheekbones and a serious face. She had a pair of crystal-like narrow purple eyes, and wore gold-rimmed glasses with thin gold chains hanging from the legs of her glasses. She wore a purple dress and had a gentle and scholarly air about her.
Shang Jingyan took the two of them to the reserved box. There was no special purpose for this lunch. It was just because they had been in contact for so long regarding Sheng Pingsha, they had to have a meal to get to know each other formally after meeting.
"If I hadn't thought about taking a step back and having a broader horizon, I wouldn't have let him go until today." Lin Yuemian's tone was full of guilt, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, "...I've implicated you."
Shang Jingyan joked, "It just so happened that he fell into my hands. Thanks to his marketing of 'the new and old No. 1', now everyone on Starnet says that I am the real 'No. 1'."
All the concepts that Sheng Pingsha had previously hyped were revealed to be fake. He would never have been the number one at that time. Many dream builders are still active today, and their data are impressive, but they were stepped on and hyped up by him.
Today, the family has made a great success and people from all directions have come to congratulate them.
Lin Yuemiao laughed, and Zu Lingwei couldn't help laughing, curling her lips and saying, "It's not a false reputation."
As the dishes were served one after another, Lin Yuemian said, "Xiao Shang, I actually wanted to make a reservation for the Hades Banquet. I wanted to try it on the last day of the show, but unfortunately I couldn't make a reservation."
He watched the eleventh season of "Galaxy Wandering Kitchen" just to see what Sheng Pingsha would do, but he was attracted by the creativity of Shang Jingyan and Hua Feitian and watched the entire series.
"Then when the subsequent offline chain restaurants open, I will definitely invite you to dine there." Shang Jingyan quickly responded.
Zu Lingwei said, "How can you let the junior treat you all the time? Just give Yue Mian a chance. Not only did he vote for you, he also pulled the people around him to do the same."
Lin Yuemian coughed dryly, as if a little embarrassed. Shang Jingyan was really surprised this time, Lin Yuemian was not being polite, but really liked her design.
As the conversation started, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became relaxed and comfortable.
Zu Lingwei and Lin Yuemian are truly a loving couple. They peel shrimps and pick up vegetables for each other from time to time. Although Zu Lingwei looks aloof, the tenderness in her eyes is real.
Shang Jingyan: Suddenly I feel redundant.
She recalled that Lin Yuemiao's synovial syndrome had been very serious, but today she saw almost no signs of illness, which showed that Zu Lingwei's work had cured him.
For a dream builder, a partner who appreciates her from the bottom of his heart and resonates with her spirit may be the most suitable person in the world.
Shang Jingyan also heard a piece of gossip, that is, the historian in the first episode of Sheng Pingsha's "Wizard Island" was actually based on Zu Lingwei.
Zu Lingwei did have a student whom she loved very much, but she never came to class after the end of a certain summer vacation. After checking, she found out that she had been missing for a long time.
In the interstellar age, disappearance is a very rare case, especially when the location is in the main galaxy.
"...I also used my connections to search for a long time, but unfortunately found nothing."
This incident left a permanent scar in Zu Lingwei's heart. Not many people knew about it, and only those in the circle had heard about it. Sheng Pingsha made up this incident, so it was no wonder that he angered Lin Yuemian and made his attitude so tough in the end.
But... Shang Jingyan thought, why did she feel that this story was a little familiar?
She thought about it carefully and remembered that Xiao Zhang had told her before that Chai Yuanlin once had a student she liked very much, but in the end that student seemed to have fallen into depravity, which made Chai Yuanlin very angry, causing her to no longer be willing to accept new dream builders as her students.
Shang Jingyan was silent.
Zu Lingwei and Chai Yuanlin are still friends, but why do these two people’s student luck seem to be not very good?
"My student's name is Shang Song. Xiao Shang, you can keep an eye on him for me in the future."
Zu Lingwei wrote these two words to Shang Jingyan on the computer and also played photos and videos for her.
When Shang Jingyan saw the name, his eyelids jumped and he thought, Wow, no way.
Shang Song——Shang Song, could it be what she thought?
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but she didn't speak.
According to the original owner's memory, her mother Shang Song looked about 40% similar to her, and had the same silver-white hair color, but it was straight, and her eye color was gray-green.
But in the video footage that Zu Lingwei showed her, the young man had black hair and black eyes, and had the most ordinary appearance.
Shang Jingyan was sure that his face was definitely original, without any plastic surgery, and without any of those magical people | skin | masks disguised in literary works. The face of his mother in his memory should also be real.
If Shang Song is Shang Song, then Zu Lingwei would definitely react when she sees her.
Unless... the one who disguised herself was Shang Song, and "Shang Song" and her appearance at the time were all fake identities.
In the video, Shang Song was standing in front of the blackboard copying something, stepping back and forth and gesturing from time to time. He looked up and saw the teacher's camera and smiled slightly.
Although she looks ordinary, she exudes a confident and extroverted temperament when she smiles. Needless to say, you can tell that she is a child of destiny.
——Completely different from the alcoholic mother in my memory, but...
Shang Jingyan just felt very familiar. A person's posture, gait and other small details are difficult to change. Even if the face is covered, people who are familiar with him can recognize him.
The simplest example is a row of students wearing the same school uniform walking together, but most people can recognize which one is their good friend just by looking at their backs.
"I'll help keep an eye on it." Shang Jingyan's mind was full of thoughts, but there was no change in his expression. He just nodded.
The topic went around in circles and finally came to the invitation from Zu Lingwei.
"Xiao Shang, what do you think of my proposal? I admire your work very much. During the review phase of the entrance examination, I was assigned to the group for "The Sea of Mobius"."
Zu Lingwei said approvingly, "I haven't felt this bright in many years."
In front of real experts and scholars, Shang Jingyan suddenly felt a little ashamed, coughed and said, "Actually, I am just eating other people's food."
"Who doesn't stand on the shoulders of giants?" Zu Lingwei looked at her and said, "What's important is that you made the right work at the right time and filled a terrible gap. Therefore, you deserve success."
Shang Jingyan was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he almost thought that Zu Lingwei had also traveled through time.
"Don't you think I'm not qualified enough?" Shang Jingyan asked, "I've only just come of age, and I've only been in the industry for less than a year. I haven't even been to college."
Her body was a complete academic failure throughout her life. She barely completed the free compulsory education, and her final exam results were very poor, not enough to enter any university.
"Your style is very mature and has become your own system. That's enough." Zu Lingwei didn't care. "Yun Yongxue, who is the same age as you, was invited by his alma mater to give a lecture in the third year after graduation. He has given seven lectures so far."
——Every lecture was not given in person, but was broadcast to the public using a light computer.
Shang Jingyan added silently in his heart.
Yun Yongxue was very autistic before coming to the Exile Galaxy. It wasn't that he was socially phobic, he just simply felt there was no need to socialize.
Shang Jingyan actually understood why Zu Lingwei invited her, which proved Zu Lingwei's market sense - even though she is a dream builder who specializes in historical research, it does not mean that she will only bury herself in piles of old papers. On the contrary, she keenly realized that the horror genre is a blue ocean that needs to be developed.
Because of this, she wanted to ask Shang Jingyan to inspire the students of Lianmeng University before the terrifying wind really swept the entire universe, so that they could seize the opportunity earlier than others.
And the most important reason is that the entrance exam for the Dream Builders of the mainstream galaxy will be held soon. There must be many students from Lianmeng University who will participate in the entrance exam. If you can use the Terror Wind in the entrance exam, you may really have an advantage over others.
"Okay, I'll go." Shang Jingyan agreed.
She is not opposed to giving lectures and speeches at universities. After Shang Jingyan became famous in her previous life, she was invited back by her alma mater to give a speech.
Giving a lecture at Lianmeng University would also help her gain popularity in the main galaxy - Shang Jingyan has always been a very ambitious person in her career, and she doesn't want to miss such an opportunity.
"Then it's settled, Xiaoshang." Zu Lingwei said, "I will discuss the specific time with the school when I get back. It won't take too long."
Main galaxy, capital star, Alliance Dream Builder University.
Even in the interstellar age, people still have the need to simply chat using text, and every university has a simple campus forum.
It was the middle of the semester, and the midterm exams were approaching. The students of Lianmeng University were immersed in the sea of study. In addition, the annual entrance examination was also approaching, and the students preparing for the exam were even more busy. Recently, even the number of spam posts on the forum had decreased significantly.
That evening, a post caught the attention of the students. The title was: [Let me tell you a piece of gossip. According to reliable information, a new generation of dream builder will come to our school to give a speech in a while. Does anyone know about it? Come and share your thoughts.]
Main post: [I heard about this from an elder at the dinner table, and he seemed to be very young, less than 23 years old, which surprised my elder. I was extremely curious, but it was difficult to ask, so I came to the forum to see if anyone had heard about this? ]
In many places in the main galaxy, 23 years old is considered an adult, so the main building uses this number to emphasize youth.
There were immediate replies in the thread.
[New generation? Very young? Don’t tell me you are lying. Has our school ever invited such a dream builder to give a speech? ]
[Please come in, it's Yun Yongxue. ]
[But Yun Yongxue is not considered a new generation, he has been in the industry for many years. But emmm, the dream builders who are invited to give speeches all have their own recognizable styles and their styles have been tested by the market, right? Are the new generation too young? ]
[Is Yan Ke a possibility? He is 22 years old this year, and has won the Scenery Award and Story Award of the Youth Dream Building Award. He is also very popular in the serious work world. If it is him, I agree. ]
[Why do I always see Yan Chui here? It's so annoying. He just makes some miserable things and then starts to brag about serious reality. ]
[Looking at the profile picture, the person above must be a fan of Ji Lianxing! Anyway, it’s not Yan Ke, and it can’t be Ji Lianxing. What psychedelic style, it’s so funny, it’s like he’s on drugs. ]
The students started guessing, mentioning all the recently famous new generations in the main galaxy, and were about to start arguing.
[Stop arguing. I suspect the original poster is picking on people. Everyone knows that the new generation of dream builders has the youngest fans and is most likely to quarrel. The buffs in your main post are almost full.]
[I will put a bench here first, please let the fans of Ji Lianxing, Su Shudong, Yan Ke, etc. enter in order (in alphabetical order, in no particular order). PS: You have big dreams of being a celebrity, why are you still chasing stars, and the ones you are chasing are people of the same age, isn't it shameful? ]
[I also suspect that this is a fight. These fans fight all the time. I think their eyes hurt.]
It wasn't until I turned the page that the original poster replied: [I just listened for a while and added one more piece of information. It seems that this dream builder is not from the main star system. [Shocked]]
As soon as this post came out, the people following behind were shocked.
[Not from the main galaxy? ? ]
[Okay, I admit that you are not here to pick fans, but are you sure? ! ]
[Fuck, now that you mention it, there is only one candidate in my mind...]
[Me too... That person is not just young, not just under 23, but under 19!]
[I think everyone has thought of it... Is it the guy who was exiled to the galaxy? ]
[Yes, she’s the only one who’s new generation + very young + unique and recognizable… You guys don’t want to say it, so let me mention this name: Shang Jingyan! ]
Just like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, from this level onwards, the number of replies increased significantly. Apparently, many people were dragged out of their hard studies by their roommates and classmates to watch the gossip.
Among these gifted young people from Lianmeng University, there are probably few who do not have complicated feelings when looking at Shang Jingyan.
She was born in the Exile Galaxy, she has never been to university, she has never studied dream building, she is not very old, and she has her own style and school... Any one of these labels is enough to make people feel uncomfortable, but she has made a name for herself despite having full debuffs, and has even become famous in the mainstream galaxies recently.
First, Yun Yongxue traveled thousands of miles to the Exiled Galaxy to seek music, and the two even appeared on a variety show together; later, with the Su family as a shield, the horror theme park was opened in full swing.
The currently serialized "Infinite Heartbeat" was listed in the top ten hot searches in the main galaxy on the day the first unit was completed, and its reputation was overwhelming.
The star networks of the main galaxy and the exiled galaxy are not fully connected. If you want to follow the real-time updates of "Infinite Heartbeat", you must have an agent account.
But it is said that a company has already started negotiating with Chang Qingqing, who signed a contract with Shang Jingyan, so people in the main galaxy will be able to follow the updates easily starting from the second unit.
She was so young, so talented, and had the best mental strength in the history of the league. Compared to her, these outstanding academic elites suddenly looked particularly dwarfed.
In the past, we were far away from each other, and at most we could smile bitterly or sigh sourly that our peers nowadays are really amazing.
But now they were suddenly told that this "peer" was coming to give them a lecture, and they all found it difficult to accept it for a moment.
[How can it really be her? I can’t accept it! Did she go to college? She’s here to give us a speech? ]
[…I would rather be Yan Ke now, but Su Shudong is also fine.]
[Upstairs, there is no need to be so harsh, the strength is there. But to be honest, I also feel that it is a bit unreal. [Confused]]
This argument took up two pages. Some people opened anonymous threads to curse, some tried to stop it, and some just watched the fun. Among them, there were a few firm voices speaking for Shang Jingyan - there were not many people from the Exiled Galaxy who were admitted to Lianmeng University, but there were some. As a fellow countryman, he had to be supported no matter what.
[People from other schools are coming to watch... Really? Shang Jingyan is coming to the main star system? So will she enter the mainstream star system in the future? ]
[I don’t like her style. Besides, even if she’s awesome, how long has she been in the industry? ? What qualifications does she have to give a lecture?]
[To be honest, everyone should stop pretending. Whether you like it or not, who hasn’t downloaded a proxy software on their computer recently? ]
[…(eyes shifted) Learning the enemy’s techniques is also necessary…]
[How can a scholar's peeking be considered aiding the enemy (guilty conscience)...]
[? It turns out that you have been secretly reading Shang Jingyan's works behind my back. Our school is doomed. I am deeply saddened! ]
This post existed for less than half a day before it was locked and pushed to the bottom of the thread by the administrator due to excessive controversy.
Compared to the total number of people in Lianmeng, the number of people who know this news is still insignificant, but from the small it can be seen how big the wave will become when the news is announced.
Exile galaxy.
Lu Zibing made an appointment for the last day of the Hades Banquet. After finishing dinner, he returned to the hotel and lay on the sofa, sighing to the barrage: "After eating at Director Shang's restaurant, I have to wait for Director Shang's update. This is life."
[Damn, this is too Versailles, someone please kick the anchor out. ]
[Anchor, you have gained weight recently! Lose weight, or you won’t be able to find a girlfriend! ]
[You don’t understand (dog head), the host is doing this so that you can have more strength to scream when watching horror movies in the future. ]
"This is called a happy heart makes the body fat. I eat well, am in a good mood, and my mental strength has improved. What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Zibing touched his bloated belly. He basically lived in Hua Feitian's snack supermarket these days and gained three or four pounds.
However, the improvement in mental strength does not seem to be an illusion. Lu Zibing does not have cavitation, but he often felt mentally exhausted after live broadcasts. Since catching up with Director Shang's works, this situation has occurred less and less.
"Okay, let's start catching up on the updates." Lu Zibing became more energetic as he saw that the time was almost up.
He rejected an entire unit, but was ultimately defeated by the mother-daughter meeting at the end of "The Witch" and joined the army of fans in tears.
Before the end of the previous episode, the mother felt her daughter's presence and looked at her in the empty air, and at the beginning of this episode, Lan Qing slightly widened her eyes, tears rolled down, and nodded vigorously: "Mom, it's me!"
She didn't cry in the trial field, but she cried now.
The mother couldn't hear her voice, but wiped her eyes and quickly went to the kitchen: "I'll make your favorite food... You were taken away by that silver ball, right? It said something about 'trial', I don't quite understand, I just read in the news that it will be very hard and dangerous for you. Oh, by the way, I also prepared tools for you..."
As she chattered on, the smell of fireworks rose in the study, and Lan Qing stood behind her.
After many attempts, she finally succeeded once and helped her mother straighten the oil bottle. Her mother was slightly stunned, then smiled, and Lu Zibing felt warm inside.
But under the restrictions of the trial field, this was already the limit, and she still couldn't make any hints. Once she had that thought, she wouldn't be able to touch anything.
The mother put the prepared meal on the table, as well as the backpack she had prepared earlier, which contained knives, sleeping bags, etc., and then tiptoed away from the door.
She held her little daughter in her arms and waited for a while according to Lan Qing's usual eating speed, then returned to the room.
The food had been eaten, but nothing was taken away. This was not allowed in the trial area.
"Mom, did my sister eat it?" Lan Qing's sister asked curiously, "Will my sister come back?"
The mother looked at the wind chimes outside the window and said firmly, "She will."
[I can’t stand it. It’s so sad. To outsiders, the heroine’s mother must be possessed. She talks to the air and cooks. Even her sister was a little scared at first...]
[Director Shang, you are a devil! 】
[I hate the trial field so much!! Will the heroine overturn it in the future? ]
In the next scene, Lan Qing had entered the trial field again.
Last time, after receiving instructions from a veteran, she learned that as long as they exchanged numbers, they could be assigned to the same trial field next time.
When she opened her eyes, General Hua was standing beside her. Seeing that she was awake, he asked, "How have you been these past few days?"
Lan Qing was a little depressed, but pretended to be relaxed: "Not bad."
General Hua also sighed and seemed to be worried.
Lan Qing looked around at the surroundings. It was pitch black, with only the flashlight in General Hua's hand providing light.
Judging from the walls and floor tiles, it looked like some kind of ancient building passage, but it was too narrow and she would hit her head if she stood up straight.
The passage behind me collapsed, and I didn't know what was ahead.
She looked down and unexpectedly found that her clothes had also changed, similar to expedition clothes, khaki, stained with mud, and a mountaineering bag at her feet. This was a change that had not occurred last time.
"This is the tomb passage. I've seen it." General Hua said with a complicated expression, "We... seem to be tomb robbers."
[Tomb robber? The trialists in this trial field actually have role scripts, but in the last novice book, everyone was wearing their own clothes. And why can't I see other trialists? Are they separated? ]
[Looking at General Hua's expression, it seems that digging graves was even more unacceptable to ancient people, and he covered his face.]
[Oh my god, how did I land directly in someone else's tomb? How scary! Is this the princess' tomb mentioned in the title? ]
[I don't know what kind of princess the tomb owner is, and what will be in the tomb... The questions for this trial field haven't been announced yet, so I can only look around. ]
The two people on the screen started to move. The road back had collapsed, so they could only move forward tentatively. Not long after they walked, they saw a small square tomb.
Lu Zibing rubbed his arms: "Hiss, I am most afraid of this kind of environment with limited vision..."
Whenever he played Building 18 before, the thing he hated the most was shining a flashlight in the dark and slowly searching for clues.
Considering the nature of the trial field, in order to save electricity, General Hua was the only one of the two to hold the flashlight. Under the light of the flashlight, a dark wooden coffin could be seen in the center of the tomb, with the lid tightly closed.
They were all a little wary of it, and first explored the tomb chamber around the coffin, but found nothing. It seemed like a dead end, and there didn't seem to be any mechanisms on the wall.
Then only the coffin in the middle was left. But when the light shone over again, Lu Zibing took a breath of cold air -
I saw that the coffin, which was originally closed, had opened a crack without me noticing at some point!
When I was writing it, I recalled the days when I read tomb-raiding novels in junior high school, hahahaha.
