After explaining the gift-giving arrangements to Zhang Yu, Magnetic Extremes True Lord asked about Zhang Yu's preparations for the Design Competition.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: What kind of work are you planning to design? Do you have a direction yet?
Zhang Yu: I happen to be investigating College Students with Senior Sister right now...
So Zhang Yu told him about gathering intelligence on Junior Colleges and planning to create a product suited to the Junior College and even Lower School Student markets.
Listening to Zhang Yu, Magnetic Extremes True Lord frowned slightly and replied: It certainly has commercial potential.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: But you need to understand that there are no College Students among the judges.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: If your design reeks too strongly of Junior College, the judges might not buy it.
Zhang Yu: I understand.
Zhang Yu: From what I've learned so far, College Students themselves don't like the Junior College stink on them either. I'll make adjustments in that regard.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: It's fine as long as you know what you're doing.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Once you've produced the design drawings, send me a copy. I'll help you check them over.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: You can enter the Design Competition and win prizes with design drawings alone. But if you can include an actual product, it'll be easier to stand out and make the judges' eyes light up.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Of course, that depends on whether your artifact forging is up to the task. If you don't have time to forge a good one after finishing the design, don't send in a product.
After Magnetic Extremes True Lord's guidance, Zhang Yu gained a better understanding of the key points for entering the Design Competition.
