"Phew!"
Lin Chen exhaled deeply.
He'd been busy from noon until evening, and finally finished signing all two thousand books.
Luckily, Lin Xiaoxi was very well-behaved.
After waking up in the afternoon, she didn't bother Lin Chen, and was happy and content as long as she was by his side.
Previously, when Xu Mengyao was away on business trips, Lin Xiaoxi only had a nanny. Now, she had her father to keep her company.
"Xiaoxi, let's go home."
Lin Chen gathered the signed books and smiled.
"Dad, come here for a sec."
Lin Xiaoxi called out sweetly.
Lin Chen knelt down beside Lin Xiaoxi.
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Dad, look, this is you, this is Mom, and this is me. Is it pretty?"
Lin Chen stared at Lin Xiaoxi's drawing in surprise. Lin Xiaoxi was so young, but she had drawn it quite well.
"Xiaoxi, you drew this really well."
"It seems like you have a talent for drawing. If that's the case, Dad will teach you more later."
Lin Chen said.
The System's voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind: "Host, the continuous enhancement of certain abilities will exert a significant influence on Lin Xiaoxi in specific areas."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
His ability enhancements could affect Lin Xiaoxi?
"System, only certain areas?"
System: "That is correct, Host. If one of your skills reaches the Grandmaster level, it will double Lin Xiaoxi's talent in that area."
"Legendary level doubles, Mythic level triples."
Lin Chen's painting skill had reached the Grandmaster level yesterday.
Lin Chen mused, "If Xiaoxi has talent in a certain area, then doubling it would be quite substantial."
"What if the talent increase isn't enough even with a three-fold boost?"
System: "Host, that's correct."
Lin Chen was overjoyed; this was still great.
It wasn't necessary for Lin Xiaoxi to be a jack-of-all-trades; it would be enough if she could become strong in the areas where she had talent.
"System, how is this one-fold, two-fold, three-fold calculated?"
Lin Chen asked while carrying Lin Xiaoxi home.
"The talent values of everyone, if the lowest is zero and the highest is one hundred, most people's talent values are below ten."
"A small number of people have talent values between ten and twenty."
"A few talents between twenty and thirty."
"It's already quite good for an ordinary person to have a talent reaching thirty. But with such talent, even hard work will yield almost no results."
Lin Chen sighed inwardly.
The gap between ordinary people and geniuses was too vast. Most ordinary people could only dabble in various arts.
Want to make a name for yourself with it in the future?
Very difficult, very difficult!
"System, continue."
System said, "Talents above forty fall into the genius category, and above sixty, one can become a leader in the province."
"Those above seventy are national level elites."
"Those above eighty are continental geniuses, and those above ninety are world-class."
Lin Chen said excitedly in his heart, "If Xiaoxi's original talent is twenty, doubling it to forty, then sixty, then eighty?"
"Yes, Host."
A smile spread across Lin Chen's face.
Excellent!
Lin Xiaoxi would certainly have several talents reaching twenty or thirty, with a high probability of exceeding ninety after being tripled.
It's even possible to reach the full value of one hundred!
Her innate talent, even tripled, would still be quite high.
"Daddy, what are you smiling at?"
"You seem very happy."
Lin Xiaoxi asked in a childish voice.
Lin Chen smiled, "Because Daddy loves you. Daddy is very, very happy just holding you."
"Mwah!"
"Daddy, I love you too."
Lin Xiaoxi kissed Lin Chen and said sweetly.
"System, can you detect Xiaoxi's talent?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
System: "No. With your current ability, you can judge it through your companionship."
"Okay."
Lin Chen wasn't disappointed.
He thought for a moment. His current skills that had reached the Grandmaster level were cooking, fairy tale writing, calligraphy, painting, and driving.
Foreign languages counted too.
Football, singing, shooting, and other skills hadn't reached the Grandmaster level yet.
Lin Xiaoxi's talent in cooking and driving, who knows.
As for fairy tale creation and calligraphy, Lin Chen estimated that Lin Xiaoxi's talent was very likely below twenty.
The improvement wasn't particularly obvious.
Foreign languages and painting showed more significant improvements, especially painting.
"The improvement in painting talent is the most obvious. Xiaoxi's painting talent should be close to or even exceed thirty."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Lin Xiaoxi's painting talent should be around sixty now.
At the level of a provincial standout.
If her talent could be doubled, her painting ability would reach around ninety.
Anything above ninety was world-class!
"Xiaoxi, do you really like painting?"
Lin Chen asked.
"Yes."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, then from now on, Dad will spend a little more time teaching you to paint."
"Is that okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi said happily, "Okay, okay."
Li Lin packed the books and drove back that night.
"Editor-in-chief, the signed books from Grandmaster Lin Yu have arrived," someone reported to Chen Xinhang at work.
"Hmm."
Chen Xinhang went to the place where the books were stored.
He casually opened a box and took out a book.
"Huh—"
Chen Xinhang's eyes showed a look of surprise.
He rubbed his eyes.
The handwriting was the same, but it seemed to him that Lin Chen's characters looked even better.
Chen Xinhang had Lin Chen's previous signature.
He took out the previously signed book for comparison.
"What's going on?"
The current chapter isn't finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
"It's clearly the same, but I always feel like there's something different."
Chen Xinhang thought to himself.
"Feng, come here for a moment."
"Take a good look at these two signatures." Chen Xinhang called out.
Another old editor walked over.
He quickly said in surprise, "Chief editor, what's going on? I feel like this signature is more pleasing to the eye."
"This one is the later one, right?"
Chen Xinhang nodded. "I agree. It's written better. There's an indescribable beauty to it."
"Wait… let me check the other books."
Chen Xinhang took out more signed books.
The signatures on these books were all better than the previous ones.
"Chief editor, maybe Lin Yu gained some experience from signing so many, and the signatures look better now," the editor, Feng, said with a smile.
Chen Xinhang nodded slightly, "Maybe. For the third batch of one million orders, one book in every five hundred."
"Don't make any mistakes."
Feng nodded, "Don't worry, there won't be any."
Chen Xinhang picked up a signed book from the back.
"I'm going out for a bit. Call me if anything comes up."
An hour later, Chen Xinhang arrived at a villa complex.
He was there to visit an old man.
This old man used to be from the National Calligraphy Association, a towering figure in the calligraphy world.
Even the current chairman of the Calligraphy Association had to call him "Uncle."
Chen Xinhang had visited him once before.
"Ding-dong—"
Chen Xinhang pressed the doorbell.
The nanny quickly opened the door.
An aged voice came from inside: "Xiao Chen, my legs aren't very good, so I won't come out to greet you."
"Come on in yourself."
Chen Xinhang entered the villa and bowed slightly: "Master Jiang, long time no see."
Master Jiang, whose full name was Jiang Xuesong, nodded slightly: "Four or five years. I'm old now and don't receive guests casually. Xiao Chen, what brings you here?"
He wouldn't welcome him if he was just looking for trouble.
"Master Jiang, I'd like to ask you to examine a signature for me."
Chen Xinhang said respectfully.
