After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

Chapter 21 First Synthesis Characteristics, Special Synthesis Mechanism

Although Xu Qin says he's writing for love, it's impossible for him not to have any ambition to make a name for himself now that he's writing science fiction.

Otherwise, why would I waste my time writing this?

Chiyu Forum is a magical place. In the literature section, there are indeed many well-known and wealthy writers in real life, and many of them started their careers on this forum.

Moreover, putting aside his reputation, writing novels, selling copyrights, and making a fortune are indeed among Xu Qin's current pursuits.

After Xia Qingyun said that, Xu Qin's desire to make a name for himself became even stronger.

Of course, this path will definitely not be easy.

"However, thinking that far ahead doesn't seem very meaningful. Although I have a strong enough science fiction imagination, my writing skills are not enough to bring it to fruition, so it's too early for me to make a name for myself."

"You should think about how to make money and become financially independent!"

Although Xu Qin's family wouldn't shortchange him, he could ask his parents for money if he wanted more.

But if you can be financially independent, it will be much more convenient to do anything.

For the next few hours, Xia Qingyun stayed in Xu Qin's room, while Xu Qin sat in front of the computer playing games, and Xia Qingyun watched from the bed.

Around one o'clock, Xia Qingyun felt tired and covered her mouth as she yawned.

"Xu Qin, I'm going to take a nap..."

"Okay, but cover yourself with a blanket, I've turned on the air conditioner."

"Uh-huh."

Nodding, Xia Qingyun lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.

Xia Qingyun lay on her own bed, and Xu Qin didn't think anything of it.

A few minutes later, it was confirmed that Xia Qingyun was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep.

Xu Qin didn't forget his main task and immediately activated the system.

"System, how do I combine three Bronze traits into a Silver trait?"

[Currently possesses Bronze-level characteristics: Decent grilling skills, a low-tier melancholic male god, and a guaranteed gacha system similar to the War Bull.]

[Synthesizable Grade: Silver]

[Note: The synthesized characteristics will be based on the host's actual development path.]

[Current host's development path: fitness, writing.]

Please select your area of expertise: fitness or writing.

"You can do that?"

Xu Qin was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the synthesized characteristics were random, but it turned out that they were selected based on his current development path.

"So, for example, if I work in the finance industry, the synthesized characteristics will be finance-related? If I work in the internet industry, will the synthesized characteristics be internet-related? Whatever I do in reality, will the synthesized characteristics be related to what I do?"

"That makes it a very promising endeavor!"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

What does that mean?

This means that Xu Qin can seamlessly integrate into any industry because as long as he engages in a certain business, he can synthesize the relevant characteristics of that business.

"You can take your time with fitness, there's no rush, that's not the main thing."

"The characteristics of writing a book are what I currently lack. Moreover, writing a book is currently the best way for me to achieve financial independence, bar none."

Therefore, after some consideration, Xu Qin chose 'writing'.

[You have selected the specialty area: Writing.]

[Characteristics are being synthesized...]

You have gained the trait: Textual Affinity.

[Note: When you enter a reading state, you will unconsciously become focused and efficient, and the qualities in the text that are beneficial to your writing will quickly enter your brain and eventually become your creative ability; however, this characteristic is only at the Silver level, at most allowing you to possess the creative ability of an 'Excellent Writer'.]

Grade: Silver.

"Silver represents excellent writers, but what about gold? What about legends?"

Xu Qin's classification of writers' levels is vague; a search online yielded no specific classification.

However, as is well known, there are indeed different levels of writing ability, though the distinction is rather vague.

For example, Li Bai was at the very top level, with no one above him, because his creative ability and imagination were both innate and effortless.

Therefore, in ancient times, poets would not imitate Li Bai when writing poetry, because Li Bai was not someone you could learn from. He was a god, and you were just a mortal, nothing at all.

"Alright, let's try out this feature first."

Xu Qin picked up a science fiction book from the table, titled "Civilization Folding," which was also Li Wei's work.

This is Li Wei's most famous work, his fourth book. It is said that it sold two million copies in its first year of publication. The set consists of three volumes, divided into three parts.

Xu Qin is currently holding the first volume.

Xu Qin had already seen it once, and now he was seeing it for the second time.

Xu Qin found that as soon as he opened the book and started reading, all the distracting thoughts in his mind were cleared away, and he entered a state of great focus. His thoughts had never been so clear before!

"This feature is great!"

Xu Qin was inevitably surprised, finding it surprisingly enjoyable to read in this state.

The first volume of "Civilization Folding" is not long, with only 170,000 words.

It's worth mentioning that Xu Qin's mother is a humanities whiz and a highly educated intellectual. So when Xu Qin was a child, she taught him how to read quickly, thereby training his reading ability so that he could read more books more efficiently and enrich his spiritual world.

As for whether it will be swallowed whole?

Yes, I know a little.

But if you read a lot, some of the knowledge will inevitably enter your mind.

This is a case of quantity leading to miracles, and mass production causing qualitative changes.

Therefore, Xu Qin reads very quickly. With the help of his "textual affinity" characteristic, he finished reading the 170,000-word book in just over an hour.

"I feel like there's a lot more stuff in my head now."

This was Xu Qin's direct impression; for example, the writing skills and techniques were quite evident in the texts, and many of them entered Xu Qin's mind.

Verbal affinity: Qualities that enhance your writing skills will quickly enter your mind and ultimately become part of your creative abilities.

Then Xu Qin opened the middle volume, which contained 260,000 words.

Xu Qin continued reading.

He was a little addicted and had no idea that his mother was back.

My mom came back at 2 o'clock to pick up a document.

She saw some girls' shoes by the door, so she went to peek into Xu Qin's room.

Xu Qin didn't close the door, and sure enough, his mother saw Xia Qingyun lying on her son's bed.

"Developing so fast?"

"But this brat is actually reading a book?"

The mother thought it was a bit outrageous. In fact, she knew that her son rarely read books. Although she had made him read a lot when he was young, Xu Qin had never been fond of books.

However, after Xu Qin graduated from high school, he suddenly started reading books every day, although they were all science fiction novels.

In the end, Xu Qin's mother didn't bother him; she just glanced at him and left.

I need to tell him tonight, and to be careful.

Xia Qingyun was already lying on Xu Qin's bed. In her mother's opinion, even if nothing happened now, something was bound to happen in the future.

Safety first, that's the bottom line.

Having a child too young is not a good thing; it's not good for either of them. She herself got pregnant at twenty-three and gave birth to Xu Qin at twenty-four.

Xu Qin didn't know his mother was back.

Xia Qingyun woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

She sat up and stretched, and the mountain range seemed even more awe-inspiring at that moment, even trembling slightly.

Xia Qingyun is incredibly talented; she's a prodigy.

This time, Xia Qingyun slept very soundly.

Rubbing her eyes, Xia Qingyun looked at Xu Qin.

"Xu Qin, have you been reading the whole time?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xu Qin, looking back at Xia Qingyun, seemed a little lost. He hadn't been paying attention and didn't know what Xia Qingyun had said.

"So, you've been reading the whole time?"

"Yes, reading."

"oh."
