Chapter 475 Tasks for the New Semester
The holiday time passed in a flash. After spending time and playing with long-lost friends, the last few days also ended quickly.
"This is for Dolores."
Before leaving, Tilan gave this good friend a box of gifts. In the light and exquisitely made wooden box was a fan, a personal album, goldfish cakes she made herself, and a feather hairpin.
The fan was bought during the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival. Tilan liked it very much. The feather hairpin was made from the feathers replaced by white kites recently. She selected the best ones and made them into palm-sized wing-shaped hairpins. It can symmetrically clamp the hair on both sides of the ears and stick it on the head like a wing.
"This..." Looking at the pair of hairpins, Dolores wanted to say something, but she didn't say it and took it.
The hairpins are very beautiful, but they are not quite the same as her usual dressing habits. If she wants to match the pair of hairpins, she has to wear light-colored girlish dresses, but she has always preferred black retro and elegant style clothes.
"Tilan has a bad heart." Dolores said in a low voice, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Before the two parted, they whispered in the hovercraft, and did not wave goodbye until Dolores boarded the space elevator.
After seeing off her friends, Tilan slept well for another day, and then it was a new year and a new semester.
"After half a year of getting along, I believe you have gradually become familiar with the campus environment. Starting from this semester, your studies will also enter the practical stage." The teacher who is the head of the grade stood on the podium and gave a speech to all the students.
"It is far from enough to acquire a lot of knowledge only from books. Without real-life verification, many things are vague and illusory."
"When more and more actual situations are calibrated, you can truly master what is taught in books, instead of being led by all kinds of remarks and information and blindly following what others say."
"In the beginning, you can start with slightly simpler tasks. It is also recommended not to ask your predecessors for shortcuts or look for some kind of strategy at the beginning. Try to think about methods and try them by yourself in the early stage. This way, you will gain more and remember them more deeply."
"It is not too late to start this kind of communication after you have accumulated a certain amount of experience. The essence of studying in school is to train and improve yourself, rather than to compare grades and credits with each other. I hope everyone can realize this."
"My speech ends here. I wish you courage and a fruitful new year."
After the speech, there was warm applause in the venue. Tilan and the other four singers sitting in the front row also applauded.
After that, the senior students came on stage and explained the detailed rules and precautions for accepting tasks. Finally, another teacher came on stage to add some information and then declared the opening ceremony over.
After the meeting, the four of them walked together as usual, strolling on the tree-lined path on campus. There were particularly tall trees planted on both sides of the road here, and the treetops intersected in the air. Walking under them, there was a breeze from time to time, which was particularly refreshing and cool.
"The teacher gave us a task suggestion form specifically, and it was clearly said that we could explore freely." Blanche complained slightly.
"Maybe they are afraid that we will go astray by ourselves. After all, there are only a few singing girls. If we go astray, it will be bad." Shui Yanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.
"I have been in the Central Star Region and have known about this kind of link for a long time. Forget it, I won't say it. It's more fun for everyone to explore by themselves." Ores has been a singing girl for more than ten years, and has been in the Central Star Region for a long time. Even if she doesn't deliberately ask, she will slowly understand many things.
"Then I won't ask, try to complete it by myself first." Tilan thought about it and said so.
"I always feel that there will be a lot of pitfalls."
"Newcomers have to experience pitfalls." Shui Yanqing commented with a smile. In fact, she also knew a lot in advance, unlike Blanche and Tilan who knew very little.
While chatting, the four walked through the tree-lined path and came to a restaurant in the woods to have lunch together. The decoration style here is similar to that of a wooden house, which blends into the natural environment. There are many special small restaurants like this on campus, and each has a unique style of food.
This restaurant mainly serves vegetarian fruits, with a little starchy roasted fruits and smoked sausage slices, which is the lunch of the four people today.
After lunch, the four did not separate directly, but continued to sit under a big tree not far from the restaurant, and then browsed the various task information on the projection screen.
"Wow, there are so many tasks~" Blanche looked at hundreds of pages, each of which was densely marked with various information and tags, involving various industries and fields.
"Many tasks have restrictions. We are only at the first level and have no experience, so the tasks we can take are very limited."
"For example, for this task of helping people renovate their residential environment, you first need to have a reputation of level three, a qualification certificate for architectural design engineers, and have completed more than three related interior decoration tasks before you can take it."
"After filtering out these tasks that we cannot take at the moment, there are only dozens of pages left. Although there are still a lot, it won't be dazzling." Tilan made adjustments according to the suggestions and reminders given by the senior sister on the stage just now.
"Now it's clearer and clearer."
Most of the tasks they can take on are simple, such as being a temporary resident singer in a high-end restaurant, performing piano at a wedding, a large concert lacking musicians and needing to fill in the gaps, etc. These are all related to their majors. There are also some unrelated ones that can be taken on by individuals, such as a pet store that needs a temporary employee, a large company's event venue that needs additional security personnel, and leading a tour group for the elderly as a tour guide assistant, etc.
Because of the inconvenience of the identity of the singing girl, the school specially provides props for disguising appearance and identity, so that the singing girls can participate like ordinary students without worrying about the inconvenience caused by being exposed.
In addition to these service tasks, there are also many verification tasks, such as sword-related tasks, which do not use special secret methods, but only rely on physical fitness and swordsmanship to defeat the practice opponent, or obtain certain professional certification licenses, etc. These tasks are permanent and unlimited, and credits can be obtained as long as they are completed.
"The early tasks are very simple and ordinary, but as long as you complete a few of them, you can get points to enter the second stage. The tasks afterwards will become more and more professional and difficult."
"After entering the fourth stage, as singing girls, we must accept team-related tasks." Orles talked about the difference between singing girls and other students.
"For example, leading a large-scale commercial event, leading a team to other star fields to complete an investigation, presiding over the design of a product to promote multiple star fields, etc."
"Currently, the third-year student, 'Clausophile Flower' Jian Xin'er, is leading a team of thousands of people to explore the abandoned planet in the Shensha Star Region. It is one of the planets destroyed in the Fifth Era. There were many intelligent races living there, and not just humans."
"'Red Ray' Luo Fenghua is organizing religious reforms in her hometown to improve local religious habits, which is more difficult."
"The tasks they are busy with are almost equivalent to graduation projects." Orles stroked her hair.
"This span is really big." Blanche sighed, when can she return to her hometown star region to complete the project, such as improving the economy of the Hemu Star Region.
For the time being, don't think about such distant things, and the four people once again shift their attention to the part that can be obtained at present.
Since none of the four people want to widen the gap in the early stage and avoid unnecessary competition, they agreed to take the same first task.
"This is it. The completion and opening ceremony of the Four Winds Hotel requires a commercial symphony performance. There are still a few musicians missing in the current repertoire."
"I want to play the piano, but there is no pianist in this option." Orles was a little unhappy.
"Of course, after all, there is usually only one pianist in a symphony orchestra, and they must be assured of their own team members. As substitutes, we should be insignificant positions." Shui Yanqing complained.
"There are also vacancies for violinists, reed players, and snare drums..."
"After being selected, they will participate in three live rehearsals and then perform at the ceremony."
"There is only one song, and the score is also available on site, so it is not difficult." A general symphony orchestra performance will definitely have more than one song, but this time it is just a foil for the opening ceremony, so there are not many requirements.
"I'll play the cello." Tilan saw that there was still a shortage of people in the cello column.
"Can Tilan also play the cello?" Orles was a little
surprised. The two of them had been together for quite a while. She seemed to have seen Tilan play the violin, the piano, and the flute, but she had never seen other instruments. "Well, I've practiced before." The girl thought about it. She thought that the cello and violin looked similar and their names should be easy to learn, so she practiced a lot.
"Then I'll play the violin." Orles had not practiced the cello much, and she was more familiar with the violin.
"I'll choose the reed." Blanche practiced more in wind instruments.
"I'll choose the flute." Shui Yanqing also chose the instrument she was good at.
"Do you want to dress up when you go?" Blanche asked and then remembered that this was an unnecessary question.
"You were all so skilled last time, so I have to learn it this time."
"Speaking of which hair color should I change to? In fact, I quite like my hair color." She tilted her head and thought about it. "
Then let's make some minor adjustments. For example, Blanche is now chestnut blonde, and you can change it to light blonde." Tilan suggested with a smile.
"That's good, yeah." After confirming this, she decided on the eye color as dark blue.
"Feeling unexpectedly common or ordinary?" Blanche said after looking at her new image in the mirror.
"That's how cross-dressing is. If it's too eye-catching, it loses its meaning." Shui Yanqing stood behind her and gently pressed her shoulders to help Blanche adjust her image.
"Make your hair color softer, and the blue of your eyes a little brighter. Do you want to add some freckles? This cross-dressing necklace has this function." Shui Yanqing suggested.
"Freckles." Blanche thought of her former classmates, many of whom had them.
"Add some, but not too many, it will make you ugly." She still cared a little about whether she was pretty or not.
"Hehehe~" The other two couldn't help but smile.
Sitting next to Blanche, Tilan also touched the necklace on her chest and made subtle adjustments. She changed her hair color to a soft and common dark chestnut color, and then her eyes turned purple. At this time, her temperament became particularly soft and mature, just like a young and shy girl turning into a gentle elder sister.
If the ideal sister in her mind is like this, the girl thought to herself.
Unfortunately, Themisia likes her own black hair very much and never dyes it. In addition, her purple eyes are sharper and more confident.
If Heshia was born earlier and Themisia was born later, Tilan would probably become the look and temperament in the mirror, and Themisia might become a rebellious girl.
For some reason, this conjecture emerged in the girl's mind.
While the girl was in a daze and recalling, Orles behind her was not idle. She looked at the new image of Tilan in the mirror and her eyes lit up, and then she kept searching in the jewelry box beside her.
"Yes, this is it." She took out a red maple leaf-shaped hairpin, rolled up part of Tilan's hair on one side, and then clipped it.
"This is good, adding more jewelry will only destroy the temperament." Looking at the particularly gentle girl in the mirror, Orles felt like she had known Tilan all over again.
"Tilan has changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize her." Blanche also noticed the situation here.
"No, I want to take a group photo." Thinking of this, Blanche pulled Tilan to the wall beside her and asked Shui Yanqing to help take the photo.
"Okay, okay, okay~" Shui Yanqing shook her head helplessly. Blanche was gradually becoming more confident and cheerful. She was not as restrained as when she first came. Now she would give her orders.
She didn't even notice when she changed.
After the group photo, the other four also took group photos separately. There were various two-person photos, three-person photos and four-person photos, but there was no photo of Shui Yanqing and Orlesi alone. The only three-person photo was Tilan standing in the middle, holding their hands.
After the photo was taken, the four of them had a great time, and then they returned to their usual appearance.
"That's about it for the preparations. Let's report together tomorrow."
"Remember to change your clothes."
"Okay, got it."
After that, the four of them parted ways, and Tilan also returned to the mansion where she lived.
It was just 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Because there was an opening ceremony today and no classes, it was relatively free. After returning to her residence, Tilan took out her personal terminal again and browsed the various tasks and assessment goals on it with interest.
She could get a lot of credits directly for swordplay, and she was also good at other aspects, such as potion preparation and supernatural animal breeding. It seemed that it was time to prepare for the relevant qualification certificates.
After graduating from Yuanting, she automatically obtained the junior trainer qualification certificate, but if she wanted the senior trainer qualification certificate, she had to take a separate exam. With this, she could take on many tasks related to trainers.
In fact, she had accumulated a lot of knowledge related to senior trainers, and even practiced a lot of content in Yuanting Academy. However, in the exam, there might be some obscure and unconventional knowledge, which needed to be supplemented and familiarized.
Read books and prepare well when you have time these days. After making up her mind, Tilan put away her personal terminal for the time being.
She looked at the somewhat quiet mansion and asked the maid next to her.
"Did Ge Yin come back today?"
"Miss Ge Yin came back at noon, but after lunch, she went back to her bedroom."
This child, probably addicted to the Internet again, the girl thought.
Although she understood Ge Yin's hobbies, she sometimes worried that Ge Yin was too isolated from the world and would have any problems in the long run.
If you have time, take her out for a walk.
After sorting out the arrangements for the next week, Tilan went to the attic on the roof, ready to sleep there for a while, and then wait for the kites to go home in the evening.
At this time, the attic was illuminated by the setting sun, neither hot nor cold, but very quiet and comfortable. Leaning on the recliner, Tilan relaxed her body and slowly fell into a peaceful nap.
