I Am A Prodigy Chapter 569

t was already getting late by then, and everyone stood on the deck facing the cool sea breeze while enjoying the refreshing feeling.
For a while, everyone was silent.
Ring-ding-ding!
Ye Lingchen's mobile phone rang all of a sudden. It was an unfamiliar number, but the number was very unique: 000111.
Such numbers belonged to either a scammer or a tycoon.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Ye Lingchen? " a mellifluous female voice asked.
"Speaking."
"I'm from Capital TV Station. You are one of the few representatives for China's sports and we hereby sincerely invite you to be a guest for the Spring Festival Gala. Can you provide an address? We'll send you the entrance ticket."
An invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?
Ye Lingchen raised his brows slightly. He used to watch the Spring Festival Gala on television and it was even more legendary than martial arts novels. Never did he expect to get so close to it.
He would be a guest for the Spring Festival Gala, not as an onstage performer, but as a member of the audience.
Generally speaking, there were only a handful of people who could be an audience. They either made a special contribution to the country or were highly-ranked within Capital.
Reasonably speaking, it ought to be expected that a basketball genius who defeated the Stick Nation would be invited. If the identity of Miracle Doctor Y was revealed, it was even easier to get a few more extra invitations.
"Oh, the address is..."
Ye Lingchen did not refuse and immediately gave his address. As for whether he would be going or not, the decision would be made when the time comes. After all, he wanted to accompany his parents at home, more so than being at the Spring Festival Gala.
After hanging up, Ye Lingchen looked at everyone's eyes staring at him from all around and could not help but touch his nose. "it's an invitation for the Spring Festival Gala, as a guest."
"Wow, awesome!"
"From a national perspective, being a guest of the Spring Festival Gala is equivalent to entering a whole new social standing."

Lin Ao slapped his thigh. "Damn it! Just like that, you have another chance to be a show-off!"
...
The New Year was unknowingly fast approaching...
Ye Lingchen looked at the sea in the distance and felt a tug in his heart. Plenty of things happened that year which still left him feeling unreal.
Most importantly, it was the beautiful goddesses around him which he never would have met in his entire life if it were not for the system.
At 8:30 in the evening, everyone was back at Capital.
Ye Lingchen spontaneously took Zhang Yunxi directly to Capital University.
Among Ye Lingchen's circle of friends and classmates, discussions about graduation were already in full swing.
In fact, they had only completed two semesters, so it could not be regarded as graduation in the strictest sense. However, university and high school were different, especially for senior students. Some graduates had to be transferred to the old campus, while some would get work internships and might return rarely. It was practically the same as a true graduation, and it was likely to be difficult for everyone to get together again in the second half of the year.
Many people had various feelings about leaving their alma mater. Sadness filled the atmosphere, and everyone from freshman to senior year would be affected by it. The participants all gave off a feeling of immense sympathy.
All kinds of blessings were exchanged everywhere.
"Senior, senior sister, all the best..."
"Senior, you can leave, but please let go of your junior."
"Senior sister, bring me with you, I want to elope with you."
Zhang Yunxi's dream was to enter university, but things turned out the opposite of what she wished for. Nevertheless, she yearned deeply for university life, so seizing the moment of that graduation season, she came to Capital University with Ye Lingchen.
Of course, one of them was an internet celebrity and the other was a superstar. They both had to wear masks and sunglasses even in the dark.
Nine pm!
Contrary to the usual, the entire dorm was still brightly lit and loud noises were heard.

Along the way, one or two couples could be seen along the road, stopping and hugging, discussing how to forge their path in the future. Others were silently crying and remained quiet with each other.
Additionally, there was a team of boys holding a bottle of Erguotou1worth about three yuan from the school canteen in their hands. They walked with a swagger while having their drink and said from time to time, "Don't forget each other when we're rich."
As for the girls, they were sitting on the school field. Tranquility was absent and it was much livelier than usual. Ye Lingchen heard a girl calling out loudly, "I've been in university for four freaking years! Why didn't anyone come and try to hit on me? Ah, ah, ah, ah!!?"
Parting was imminent and they were about to step into an unknown future. One by one, they began letting their feelings run free, adding a plaintiveness to all the hustle and bustle.
The school was unsurprised by the phenomenon. There were no so-called warden ladies or security guards to stop it, so everyone was implicitly allowed to just vent out their feelings.
"Graduating from university and high school are completely different ends of the spectrum." Zhang Yunxi was clearly affected by it and could not help lamenting.
"Yes." Ye Lingchen sighed sadly and said with emotion, "High school is hell, and after graduation, you'll be able to enter the university of your dreams. For a university graduation, you're leaving the best time of your life to enter society at its cruelest..."
"Actually... Now that I think about it, life in high school was also very good," Zhang Yunxi took a deep breath and said poignantly.
"Yes, that's the most beautiful thing we have left from our youth."
The two continued to walk forward, but Zhang Yunxi silently added a sentence in her heart, 'I'm glad I was able to meet you.'
As they neared the dormitory building, the noise was getting louder and louder, and the whole building was bursting with noise. Everyone was in the corridor of the dormitory.
Opposite the male dormitory was the female one, which is also brightly lit.
"Girl from across there, look over here! Look over here, look over here! The show over here will be a blast..."
The boys sang in a chorus from the boys' dormitory and all of them were belting their heart out.
Later, the girls' dormitory also began to sing. As they sang and sang, it soon started to be like a folk song. The boys' dormitory roared and the girls responded from the other side, making for a jovial mood.
At some point, however, some people's voices had unknowingly become hoarse...
Downstairs, one of the students set up a huge speaker. He was usually a very quiet person, but at that moment, he could not resist singing too.
Someone ran down to confess through the loudspeakers, while others used it to sing love songs to the girl's dormitory.
Bachelor's Love Song.
Cotton Candy.
Ten Thousand Years Later.
Want to Be with You.
If they could not hit a note, they screamed until their voices turned hoarse to make up for it.
"Hey buddy, can you lend me a guitar?" a teenager wearing a mask asked.
The student smoked a cigarette and handed the guitar to Ye Lingchen without even thinking about it.
Then, Ye Lingchen held the guitar and sat beside the speaker.
The music in the speaker was turned off and all that was left was the sound of guitar strings.
Although it was only the sound of the guitar, it had an inherently emotional sound that caught everyone's ears.
Under the night, the relaxed sound of the guitar brought along countless sentiments and emotions...
二鍋頭 - translated as Erguotou, a variety of baijiu (Chinese white wine) that is distilled from fermented sorghum.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
