Xu Lin ignored Zhao Liangchen.

After exiting Zhao Liangchen's chat interface, Xu Lin happened to see a message from Li Sinan.

"Xu Lin, your body is amazing!"

There were several messages, and this was the last one.

Clicking to check, it turned out she saw Xu Lin's back photo in the grade group.

When men browse short videos, many keep those of beautiful women because they find the woman attractive enough, like she has a big butt, big breasts, or shows a lot of skin, basically doing various sensual poses.

This kind of explanation is a bit explicit, but it's the truth. After all, whether a man admits it or not, that's how they are, and there's nothing shameful about it. Plus, women are like that too. For handsome men, women also keep plenty of their pictures, and what they talk about in private isn't any more noble than men.

Men and women are, first of all, humans.

While there are sages and gentlemen in the world, that has nothing to do with most of us; we are all half human, half ghost.

After seeing Xu Lin's back photo, Li Sinan was very proactive.

Of course, she wasn't the only one; there were also girls from the class.

In Xu Lin's class, there are seven pretty girls, besides Rong Xiyi, there are six others, four of whom are over 1.68 meters tall.

Everyone knows that if a girl is pretty and over 1.68 meters tall, that's quite nice.

These girls are now all messaging Xu Lin.

Xu Lin just glanced at them and exited QQ.

His tastes are quite picky, and he generally isn't interested in just pretty girls.

Xu Lin set the phone aside and started downloading a game on his computer.

Downloading games can take a long time.

The internet speed at Finance University isn't great, with download speeds at most 20 to 30 MB per second, yet many single-player games these days are over 100 GB.

Bored, Xu Lin opened Word.

He had already collaborated with Toutuo on an outline, and it was time for a second one.

Recently, Xu Lin also had some ideas for his second outline.

This time, it's also a fantasy genre, different from the one with Toutuo which focused on character setting and story, with a backdrop of court and martial world.

This one is more straightforward with monster fighting and leveling up. This type of writing has the advantage of not needing to think about character settings too much; you can just list names, even if the character roles are all similar, it doesn't matter, it's all about fighting continuously. However, on the other hand, such stories require a denser and more formulaic design of exciting parts, with a tightly knit framework, so the author's skills must be very strong, as typical authors might find it hard to handle this fast-paced and intense style.

Xu Lin plans to finish it within the month and release it to others then.

Outline word count: twenty thousand? Forty thousand!

Due to the dense and structured placement of exciting parts, suspense, and foreshadowing, Xu Lin needs to sort this out.

Next, Xu Lin spent an hour constructing the world system.

The fantasy world system is very straightforward, starting from a small city, progressing to bigger cities, and then ultimately the Capital City, and as the map changes, the protagonist's reputation and strength continue to increase. Here, the power system needs to be controlled, since leveling-up stories can easily break the balance of power, which tests the author's skills.

At the same time, along with the protagonist's rising fame and power, various characters and forces are introduced, and different storylines are developed.

In retrospect, it's quite complex.

Tonight, Xu Lin only constructed a basic world view, from the protagonist being an ant in a small city to piercing gods in the Immortal Divine World. Based on the world setting, various forces appear, including the enemy, allies, and neutral categories, and subsequent outline attributes will be filled in here one by one.

Xu Lin plans to finish this within the month and issue a new contract at the end of it.

Xu Lin thought he could also adapt it and create a high-military type outline.

Fantasy is an ancient world, and high-military is a future cosmic world.

But the essence of both types is leveling up; they just have different world backgrounds.

"In theory, I can do two outlines at once, right? Just differentiate some of the content later."

After pondering a bit, Xu Lin felt he could manage it.

After working for an hour, Xu Lin opened the online literature leading website and skimmed the rankings. For an online writer, skimming the rankings is important as it's like market research, helping to acquire the newest market trends promptly and develop a keen market sense, so as not to fall behind the market.

However, for Xu Lin, it was different. With the skill of Divine Penmanship, Xu Lin was full of inspiration, able to think of various interesting ideas just by glancing at the rankings, and recorded them one by one.

After skimming the rankings for over half an hour, it was almost midnight.

Xu Lin went to bed.

The night passed without words.

The next two days were military training.

During the day, Xu Lin participated in military training, thinking about how to excel in it, but to no avail.

In the evenings, Xu Lin continued working on his novel outlines, one fantasy, and one high-military, both leveling-up stories.

Thus, it came to the third day, the fourth day of military training.

Today, the sun was still shining brightly, and under the scorching sun, even the girls wearing sunscreen got tanned a bit, while most guys didn't bother with sunscreen, much like they don't wear makeup, and those with sensitive skin turned almost charcoal black.

In Xu Lin's dorm, Hu Donghai and Xie Zhengrong had tanned, while Liu Longsheng, who applied sunscreen daily, barely managed to hold up.

But among the guys, Xu Lin seemed to be an exception.

No matter how sun-exposed his skin was, it wouldn't tan.

Even Rong Xiyi got slightly tanned, and during a break in military training, Rong Xiyi couldn't help but ask the fair-skinned Xu Lin, who remained unscathed after four days in the sun, "Why hasn't your skin tanned?"

"I'm not a black guy, so why would I tan?"

Xu Lin wasn't sure what exactly the reason was but guessed it might be his physical condition. Yet he didn't understand the specific principle; after all, the system held the explanation rights, and he was fine with that.

Although Xu Lin remained fair-skinned, it wasn't in a feminine way; his aura and the impression he gave were more masculine, a trait Xu Lin had maintained since childhood. In Xu Lin's home, neither Ms. Ren nor his father liked femininity, nor did they allow their son to become effeminate. Manliness and masculinity were crucial traits in the Xu Family.

Xu Lin suddenly grinned, "But you're becoming a black girl!"

"You're the black girl!"

Rong Xiyi smacked Xu Lin on the shoulder, genuinely irritated.

No girl, whether pretty or not, wants to be thought of as dark; in other words, they dread being told they look dark.

"Haha..."

Xu Lin laughed heartily.

"Xu Lin, you're really in need of a beating!"

Rong Xiyi glared at him.

The break lasted for twenty minutes. At this point, over three thousand people were resting, though not all three thousand freshmen were resting here on the main sports field. The field wasn't quite large enough, so other classes were conducting military training in different areas on campus, like the volleyball courts and basketball courts.

The Finance University's main campus covers more than two thousand mu of land, it's quite large.

Xu Lin opened his phone at this moment and clicked on Yu Xinyan's chat interface.

Yu Xinyan sent him a selfie.

"Xu Lin, do you think I've gotten tan?"

Yu Xinyan had one extra day of military training compared to Xu Lin, and today was her fifth day of training.

In the photo, her hair was tied in a high ponytail with a few strands messy, and there were some fine beads of sweat at the roots on her forehead.

Xu Lin replied, "Just a bit tanned, but it's not a big deal, you'll be back to normal in a while."

Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin, what about you? Let me see you."

Xu Lin took a selfie and sent it to her.

Yu Xinyan: "So handsome, you haven't gotten tanned!"

Yu Xinyan saved Xu Lin's selfie to her album, marking the 23,657th photo of Xu Lin in her collection!

Yu Xinyan: "Your hair has grown long!"

Xu Lin: "I'll cut it after the military training!"

Yu Xinyan: "Okay!"

"Is this girl your girlfriend?"

Rong Xiyi had been watching Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan chat, and had seen Yu Xinyan's selfie.

She thought Yu Xinyan was very beautiful, possessing a unique kind of beauty, like an angel descending from the Celestial Palace, a feeling that was indescribable. Even as a beauty herself, Rong Xiyi found it stunning.

"She's from Jiang University, my childhood friend, a top student, what do you think?"

"Jiangdu University?"

"She was the top in the province with full marks in the science subject, how about that?"

"Impressive!"

Rong Xiyi praised and then added, "I scored just 649 in the college entrance exam."

"Awesome!"

Xu Lin gave her a thumbs up.

"And you?"

Rong Xiyi asked further.

Xu Lin leaned closer and whispered, "552!"

"Huh? How much?"

Rong Xiyi thought she heard wrong.

"552!"

"Are you kidding?"

"I just got through by chance, lucky enough to make it with 552."

"Xu Lin, you're tricking me! You're really in need of a beating sometimes!"

"Really."

Xu Lin even opened the screenshot of his exam score, and Rong Xiyi glanced at it.

552?

"Unbelievable!"

After a long pause, Rong Xiyi finally uttered those two words.

"Luck, just luck!"

"Then your family grave must be smoking... wait, it's on fire!"

Rong Xiyi didn't dwell on the topic, given that they were already in college.

She went on to ask, "Tomorrow night there's no training."

"No training? That's awesome!"

Xu Lin thought he'd be able to go back to the dorm to rest.

Rong Xiyi: "Didn't you look at the training schedule? Tomorrow night is the arts class!"

The military training schedule, apart from the basic training content, includes two other items: an arts class, which only has one session set for tomorrow night, and four patriotic education lectures, one of which has already taken place, with three remaining.

Xu Lin hadn't really checked the schedule.

"Xu Lin, do you have any performances?"

Rong Xiyi asked him, her eyes sparkling.

"What kind of performance could I have?"

Xu Lin thought of what he could do.

He glanced at his skill panel for a second.

Hey?
