I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 67 Inspiration
"Oh, Sister Wenya, do you mean you want me to participate in the competition?"

Looking at Wen Ya's expectant eyes, Chen Yan instinctively wanted to refuse.

Although, as a young man in his early twenties, he was also looking forward to showing off in front of a large audience, but...

He only trained for less than two months at most, and even with the 20x talent bonus, it would take a normal person less than four years to train...

Perhaps his initial piano talent was stronger than that of ordinary people, and considering the talent bonus from the [Professional Calendar], this period of training is equivalent to seven or eight years of training for an average person, but...

Of those who dare to participate in the competition, how many are truly skilled?

Since he couldn't show off too much, Chen Yan's "playing dumb" personality once again took over the high ground of his mind.

"Sister Wenya, I think I need to take some time to reflect. This kind of competition is still a bit too early for me," Chen Yan politely declined.

However, Wenya was clearly not giving up and continued to persuade her, "This is not a very formal competition, and the rules stipulate that the age of the participants cannot exceed 25. You have great talent, you should really give it a try."

Wenya's mindset at this moment is like that of a painter who has created a masterpiece and wants more people to see his most perfect work.

In a sense, Chen Yan's work was almost equivalent to her "most perfect work," even though this "work" might not have much to do with her as a "painter," but she still wanted more people to see it...

Seeing Wen Ya's expectant expression, Chen Yan thought for a moment and was about to refuse her with the excuse of "preparing for the CET-6 exam" when...

The system, which has recently gained a lot of attention, has resurfaced.

[Could you really bear to refuse a request from a beautiful teacher?]

Faced with this opportunity to stand in the spotlight and showcase yourself, can you really bear to give it up?

[Task being posted...]

[Task Name: Piano Competition]

[Mission Description: Accept Wenya's request, showcase your talent to all the spectators and contestants, and strive for the best possible result in this competition.]

[Task Reward: Random Startup Base in Hangzhou (quality determined by competition ranking, minimum no less than 100 square meters)]

'Is this my talent? This is your talent, System Master…' Looking at the mission description, Chen Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself, but when his gaze focused on the rewards section…

"Holy crap, that's amazing!"

Although he knew that his system was never stingy with rewards, Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Given the low prices in Hangzhou, even the worst 100-square-meter startup base costs over a million... and if you can get first place, the reward value this time might directly exceed ten million.

Compared to the vague "inspiration" reward of the task "Preparing for Level 6", the rewards of the "Piano Competition" are undoubtedly much more generous.

"Match time?"

Seeing that Chen Yan seemed somewhat interested, Wen Ya's face lit up with joy as she replied, "It will start at nine o'clock on the morning of the 20th and end no later than five o'clock."

Seeing that the competition time and the English CET-6 exam time did not conflict, Chen Yan thought about it for a while and finally decided not to give up either task.

Anyway, he has plenty of time, so doing these two tasks together is no big deal. At worst, he can ask Shen Dong to sign in for him more often during this period.

……

Chen Yan's life was quite fulfilling during the following period.

In addition to classes, students need at least three hours of dedicated piano practice and more than five hours of vocabulary memorization and practice questions every day.

However, Chen Yan didn't find this kind of life monotonous. The [mission rewards] were like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, giving him a constant source of motivation. ...

The third Saturday of December, which is the 14th.

At 2:20 p.m., Chen Yan had already arrived at the school's examination building, where two long queues had formed outside.

As for those people queuing up... 40% were still studying seriously, while the remaining 60% were chatting and laughing, clearly just like Chen Yan before, they were all focused on participation.

Having already put in so much effort, Chen Yan wasn't going to cram at the last minute. After all, he hadn't been faking his efforts these past few days; his vocabulary had already exceeded 10,000 words. Although he still had some minor issues with grammar, based on his self-test of previous practice exams, he could basically get around 550 points.

Having a clear understanding of the situation, he naturally remained calm. When the bell rang, signaling "permission to enter the examination room," the corridor was reopened, and Chen Yan and a group of examinees quickly surged forward.

After handing over their phones, having their ID cards and certificates checked, and adjusting their headphone channels, the next thirty minutes were spent writing their essays.

Half an hour later, the classroom loudspeaker announced that the listening test was about to begin... and a short while later, the audio of the listening test came through the headphones.

……

The entire exam lasted 145 minutes, but Chen Yan's vocabulary was more than enough. He finished the exam in less than two hours and even did a quick check.

If it weren't for the fact that you can't hand in your CET-6 exam early, Chen Yan would have loved to leave long ago. Unfortunately, he can only sit in his chair and wait out the time.

After finally getting to the end of the exam, the two proctors were still dawdling as they collected the papers. All the other exam rooms had already been emptied, and they were only just finishing collecting the scratch paper here.

……

"This exam has ended. Please leave the exam room in an orderly manner."

After the proctor finished speaking, the students who were still sitting in their seats could no longer contain themselves and rushed out of the examination room as quickly as possible.

After using my brain for more than two hours, I'm basically starving by now...

Chen Yan thought he was relatively quick, but he almost got stuck too. After he got out, he checked his phone.

You have one unread message.

When I opened WeChat, I found that it was a message from Wen Ya. The message time was 5:27, which meant that she had calculated the time when Chen Yan finished his exam.

I just didn't expect the two proctors to be so slow in collecting the papers...

[Wenya: Have you finished your exams? How did they go?]

Wenya: (smiling face, jpg)

[Chen Yan: Pretty good, should pass.]

Wenya: Okay, now focus all your efforts on preparing for the competition. I'll treat you to dinner after the competition.

Wenya: (Go for it! jpg)

[Chen Yan: (Received, jpg)]

After ending the chat, Chen Yan was puzzled as he watched the system notification sound that hadn't arrived yet.

Will we have to wait until the CET-6 results are released before the rewards are calculated?

Just as Chen Yan was walking nervously toward the cafeteria, the system notification finally sounded...
