Painting Reputation Points: 811
After teaching another student, Lin Yuan noticed a slight increase in his painting reputation points, leaving him quite satisfied.
Normally, teaching a few students wouldn't yield such good results. However, today, Lin Yuan encountered several students with decent sketching skills, evidently having taken his sketching class before.
For students with a strong foundation in sketching, Lin Yuan delved into more advanced topics, consciously showcasing some higher-level sketching techniques. This drew admiration from those around him.
This is probably why the reputation points reward is relatively high.
Just as Lin Yuan was preparing to continue teaching, a commotion suddenly came from outside. A female teacher appeared in the painting club!
This teacher headed straight for Zhong Yu, her face filled with anger: "Zhong Yu, you skipped class again!"
"Teacher..."
Zhong Yu shrank his head; he hadn't expected the watercolor teacher to find the painting club. "I'll definitely not skip class next time!"
"Shut up!"
Zhong Yu's watercolor teacher said coldly, "Last time, the time before last time, and the time before that, you said the same thing."
Zhong Yu patted his chest, "Next time, I promise!"
The watercolor teacher, unimpressed, said, "I didn't come to find you just for skipping class. By the way, I also want to inform you that your watercolor work has won the second prize in this watercolor competition."
Saying that, the teacher took out Zhong Yu's watercolor painting.
"Ah!"
Zhong Yu, overjoyed, unfolded his watercolor painting, his face filled with delight, "I never thought I would win an award."
"Wow!"
"Great!"
"Zhong Yu, your watercolor painting is so good?"
"I remember your previous watercolor paintings were just average!"
"To win the second prize in the university watercolor competition?"
"..."
Seeing Zhong Yu's watercolor painting, everyone showed expressions of shock.
Many of them had participated in the university watercolor competition, but very few had won awards. Moreover, within the painting club, they were familiar with each other's skills.
In their past impressions, Zhong Yu's watercolor level was good but certainly not at the level to win the second prize in a watercolor competition!
Now, looking at Zhong Yu's work, it seemed like a complete transformation!
The teacher's expression gradually softened, whispering, "You've done well."
Zhong Yu felt proud, giving a smug smile, "Just take a look at who my master is."
After speaking, Zhong Yu suddenly covered his mouth.
Oops!
He just exposed it!
The watercolor teaching skills of the master would be revealed!
In the painting club and even in the entire fine arts department, few students knew about Lin Yuan's watercolor skills. Zhong Yu had planned to continue learning with Lin Yuan, secretly making progress with the students who had seen Lin Yuan's impressive chalkboard drawings and had agreed not to reveal the master's watercolor skills too early.
Unexpectedly, today, he let it slip!
As Zhong Yu worried, once his words were out, everyone's eyes turned abruptly towards Lin Yuan.
Zhong Yu's rapid improvement in watercolor—was it all because of the master?
This was terrifying, instantly elevating Zhong Yu's watercolor skills to competition level?
However, the watercolor teacher was not surprised.
Some time ago, Zhong Yu and several other students' watercolor skills had suddenly improved dramatically, so she asked a few people about the reason.
These guys dared not hide it from their classmates but didn't dare to hide it from the teacher either. They directly admitted that their rapid improvement in watercolor was all thanks to Lin Yuan's teaching.
"Is Lin Yuan here?" the watercolor teacher asked curiously, glancing around.
Lin Yuan replied, "Yes."
The watercolor teacher, looking at Lin Yuan's face, exclaimed, "You're the student who presented the chalkboard drawing last time!"
During the last chalkboard drawing competition, this teacher was also present. Lin Yuan's drawing had left a deep impression on her, so she remembered Lin Yuan's face.
Speaking of which, with such a handsome face, it would be difficult for people not to remember.
"Mm."
Lin Yuan nodded.
The watercolor teacher glanced at the sketches in front of Lin Yuan and suddenly smiled, "Don't just teach sketches, teach watercolor too when you have time."
"Sure."
Lin Yuan agreed. He also felt that it was time to expand the watercolor classes. Doing numerous sketching classes every day was a bit boring.
After the watercolor teacher left, a group of people stared at Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu knew he couldn't hide it anymore and said with a wry smile, "My improvement in watercolor is also thanks to the master."
"No wonder your watercolor skills have improved so quickly!"
"Several people in our class have also improved in watercolor recently. Is it also related to the master?"
"It's so hard for us to keep it a secret!"
"We thought the master was only good at teaching sketches before!"
"I hesitated whether to learn watercolor from the master before. Now, thinking about it, I really regret it. Why did I hesitate back then?"
"..."
"It's the same as you think, but it's not all my fault. It's because you guys didn't notice." Faced with the questioning of this group of people, Zhong Yu had completely confessed.
"The master taught me!"
The gaze of the crowd became even more fervent, all turning towards Lin Yuan.
"Five hundred and one hour."
Lin Yuan calmly quoted a price.
"We'll pay!"
The crowd did not retreat because of the price.
"Sign up."
Zhong Yu, smiling, said beside them.
This group of people felt irritated seeing Zhong Yu, but they still obediently registered with Zhong Yu.
After all, Zhong Yu was in charge of the registration.
Moreover, with so many people wanting to learn watercolor from the master, how could they not stand in line? After being in the painting club for so long, everyone was already very clear about Lin Yuan's rules.
Before long, the number of registrations for watercolor reached fifty.
This number was already close to the number of registrations for Lin Yuan's sketch class.
Zhong Yu handed the list to Lin Yuan for a glance.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Continue the class."
Watercolor was a small matter, but reputation was a big deal. He had to complete tasks quickly and strive to raise the painting reputation points to a thousand in the next few days.
"Continue the class."
Zhong Yu shouted with enthusiasm.
After this incident, Lin Yuan's student base became even broader. Although Zhong Yu regretted that he couldn't enjoy Lin Yuan's watercolor class freely in the future, he had secretly learned for quite some time. He even won the second prize in the watercolor competition. It was time for everyone to learn from the master.
Meanwhile, in another corner, the composition department had already arrived for today's physical education class.
The physical education teacher was not like Huang Benyu, who pretended to sleep. He took attendance as usual.
"Wang Qiang."
"Here."
"Li Feng."
"Here."
"Zhou Han."
"Here."
"Lin Yuan."
"Here," "Here," "Here," "Here," "Here," "Here"...
Surprisingly, out of the dozens of people in the class, more than half shouted "Here." Even some girls joined the "Here" army, deliberately lowering their voices to imitate the boys.
Lin Yuan skipped class today, and this group of composition department students had already noticed. They had decided to cover for Lin Yuan, but due to a lack of prior discussion, such a bizarre and funny scene occurred.
"..."
The physical education teacher fell into contemplation.
After teaching for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Unable to help himself, he asked, "How many Lin Yuans are there in this class?"
Everyone: "..."
Is this the legendary class favorite?
