Lin Xiaoqian's Talent Increased!

Phew!

Lin Chen let out a sigh.

After working from noon until evening, he had finally finished signing two thousand books.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoqian was very well-behaved.

After waking up that afternoon, she did not disturb Lin Chen. As long as she was by his side, she was happy and content.

Back when Xu Mengyao went on business trips, Lin Xiaoqian only had a nanny to look after her. Now, she had her father with her.

"Xiaoqian, let's go home."

Lin Chen said with a smile as he packed up the signed books.

"Daddy, come here."

Lin Xiaoqian called out sweetly.

Lin Chen walked over and crouched beside Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Xiaoqian said, "Daddy, look, this is you, this is Mommy, and this is me. Is it pretty?"

Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoqian's drawing in surprise. She was so young, yet her drawing already looked quite decent.

"Xiaoqian, you drew this wonderfully."

"It seems you have a lot of Painting Talent. In that case, Daddy will teach you more in the future."

Lin Chen said.

The system's voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind. "Host, as some of your abilities continue to improve, they will have a powerful influence on Lin Xiaoqian in those areas."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

His improved abilities could affect Lin Xiaoqian?

"System, only in certain areas?"

The system replied, "Yes, Host. When one of your skills reaches Grandmaster level, Lin Xiaoqian's talent in that area will double."

"At Legendary Level, it will triple. At Mythical Level, it will quadruple."

Lin Chen's Painting Talent had reached Grandmaster level yesterday.

Lin Chen pondered this. "If Xiaoqian already has talent in a certain area, doubling it would be quite significant."

"But if she has no talent, then even tripling it would be useless?"

The system replied, "Yes, Host."

Lin Chen was overjoyed. This was already very good.

There was no need for Lin Xiaoqian to become skilled at everything. It was enough for her to become exceptionally strong in the areas where she had talent.

"System, how are these onefold, twofold, and threefold increases calculated?"

Lin Chen asked as he carried Lin Xiaoqian home.

"For every type of talent, with zero as the minimum and one hundred as the maximum, most people have talent values below ten."

"A small number of talents fall between ten and twenty."

"Only a very few talents fall between twenty and thirty."

"For an ordinary person, having even one talent reach thirty is already quite good. But with such talent, even hard work will almost never produce much of a result."

Lin Chen sighed inwardly.

The gap between ordinary people and geniuses was simply enormous. Most ordinary people could only dabble in various arts.

Wanting to use them to rise above the crowd in the future?

Very difficult. Extremely difficult!

"System, continue."

The system said, "Talents above forty fall within the genius category. Above sixty, one can become a Provincial Top Performer."

"Above seventy, a national-level top performer."

"Above eighty, a continental-level genius. Above ninety, world-class."

Lin Chen said excitedly in his heart, "If Xiaoqian's Original Talent is twenty, then a onefold increase makes it forty, a twofold increase makes it sixty, and a threefold increase makes it eighty?"

"Yes, Host."

Lin Chen's face broke into a broad smile.

Excellent!

Lin Xiaoqian would surely have several talents in the twenties or thirties. The chances of them exceeding ninety after being tripled were very high.

They might even reach the maximum value of one hundred!

Even talents originally in the teens would become very high after being tripled.

"Daddy, what are you smiling about?"

"You seem really happy."

Lin Xiaoqian asked in her childish voice.

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "Because Daddy loves you. As long as Daddy is holding you, Daddy is very, very happy."

Smack!

"Daddy, I love you too."

Lin Xiaoqian kissed Lin Chen and said sweetly.

"System, can you assess Xiaoqian's talents?"

Lin Chen asked in his mind.

The system replied, "No. With your abilities, you can judge them during the time you spend with her."

"Mm."

Lin Chen was not disappointed.

After thinking about it, the skills he currently had at Grandmaster level were Cooking Skill, Fairy Tale Creation, calligraphy, painting, and driving.

Foreign languages counted as well.

Soccer, singing, shooting, and the like had not yet reached Grandmaster level.

He did not know what Lin Xiaoqian's talent was like in cooking and driving.

As for Fairy Tale Creation and calligraphy, Lin Chen estimated that Lin Xiaoqian's talents in those areas were likely below twenty.

The increase would not be particularly noticeable.

Foreign languages and painting would see more obvious improvement, especially painting.

Her Painting Talent should improve the most. Xiaoqian's Painting Talent should be close to, or even above, thirty.

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Lin Xiaoqian's Painting Talent should now be around sixty.

At the level of a Provincial Top Performer.

With another onefold increase, her Painting Talent could reach around ninety.

Above ninety was world-class!

"Xiaoqian, do you really like drawing?"

Lin Chen asked.

"Yes."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Xiaoqian, then Daddy will spend a little more time teaching you how to draw in the future."

"Would you like that?"

Lin Xiaoqian said happily, "Yes, yes!"

Li Lin loaded up the books and drove back overnight.

"Editor-in-Chief, Great God Lin Yu's Signed Books have arrived."

Someone reported to Chen Xinhan when he came to work.

"Mm."

Chen Xinhan went to where the books were stored.

He casually opened a box and took out one book.

"Huh—"

A look of surprise appeared in Chen Xinhan's eyes.

He rubbed his eyes.

The handwriting was the same, yet it somehow seemed to him that the words "Lin Chen" looked even better.

Chen Xinhan had books that Lin Chen had signed before.

He found one of the earlier Signed Books and compared them.

"What's going on?"

"Clearly they're the same, but I keep feeling there's a difference."

Chen Xinhan thought to himself.

"Old Feng, come over here."

"Take a careful look at both signatures."

Chen Xinhan called out.

Another Old Editor walked over.

Before long, he said in surprise, "Editor-in-Chief, what's going on? I think this signature looks more pleasing."

"This one is from later, right?"

Chen Xinhan nodded. "I think this one was written better too. It has an indescribable sense of beauty."

"Wait... let me look at the other books."

Chen Xinhan took out more Signed Books.

The signatures in these books were all better than the earlier ones.

"Editor-in-Chief, perhaps after signing so many, Lin Yu gained some insight, and his signatures became better-looking."

The editor surnamed Feng said with a smile.

Chen Xinhan nodded slightly. "Perhaps. For the third batch of One Million orders, mix one into every five hundred copies."

"Don't mess it up."

The editor surnamed Feng nodded. "Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."

Chen Xinhan picked up one of the Signed Books received later.

"I'm heading out. Call me if anything comes up."

An hour later, Chen Xinhan arrived at a villa complex.

He had come to visit an elderly man.

This old man had once belonged to the National Calligraphy Association. He was a Leading Figure in the Calligraphy World.

Even the current president of the Calligraphy Association had to call him uncle when he met him.

Chen Xinhan had visited him once before.

Ding-dong—

Chen Xinhan rang the doorbell.

The nanny quickly opened the door.

An elderly voice came from inside. "Little Chen, my legs are inconvenient, so I won't come out to receive you."

"Come in yourself."

Chen Xinhan entered the villa and bowed respectfully. "Elder Jiang, it has been a long time."

Elder Jiang's name was Jiang Xuesong. He nodded slightly. "Four or five years. I'm old now, and I don't receive visitors casually. Little Chen, what brings you here?"

He certainly would not welcome Chen Xinhan if he had come to waste his time.

"Elder Jiang, I would like to ask you to look at a signature."

Chen Xinhan said respectfully.
