Chapter 87: The System Issues a New Mission! (Part 1/2)

“Tang Feng, when did you prepare gifts for the teachers?” Su Xiaoli asked with interest.

“Last night. After I dropped you off in the afternoon, I bought the materials on the way back and worked overnight to create these paintings as gifts,” Tang Feng answered.

“This gift really took me by surprise! I can tell the teachers liked them too,” Su Xiaoli said with a smile.

“As long as they like them! After all, they taught us for so long, these little gifts are nothing,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“Little Feng, when you have time, could you also paint one for me?” Uncle Su spontaneously requested.

He had just seen the landscape paintings Tang Feng gave to the teachers and liked them very much.

“No problem! I’ll paint one for you when I get home,” Tang Feng readily agreed.

“There’s no rush. Paint it when you have time,” Uncle Su said.

“It’s fine. You guys just go to my house and sit for a while, have some tea,” Tang Feng responded.

After the dining table was cleared, Tang Feng took Uncle Su and his daughter to his home.

Tang Long and his wife did not come back because the restaurant was still open in the evening.

Tang Feng asked Su Xiaoli to accompany Uncle Su for tea.

Then he went to the bedroom to start painting.

In less than twenty minutes, he had completed a landscape painting.

After a while, he presented the painting to Uncle Su.

Uncle Su’s eyes lit up immediately.

“Little Feng, your painting skills are truly exceptional! I believe with time, you will definitely become a master of traditional Chinese painting!” Uncle Su couldn’t stop praising as he examined the painting before him.

He spoke from the heart.

“Uncle Su, you flatter me,” Tang Feng said with a bashful smile.

“Little Feng, I think when you’re studying at Jingcheng University, you should visit the Fine Arts Department and interact with some masters of traditional Chinese painting. Under their guidance, your painting skills will surely reach a new level,” Uncle Su suggested.

“Okay,” Tang Feng nodded, agreeing.

In reality, he knew very well that his current level of painting was already at the top in the world.

No master of traditional Chinese painting could surpass him.

After all, he had exchanged for the skill of a painting sage.

“Xiaoli, it’s still early. How about I also paint one for you?” Tang Feng offered.

“Let’s not. You’ve already created so many paintings from last night till now. You should rest for now. Another day when you’re not busy, you can paint one for me,” Su Xiaoli responded.

She truly cared for Tang Feng.

She didn’t want him to overexert himself.

“It’s okay,” Tang Feng waved his hand, “Just sit on the sofa! I’ll finish it quickly!”

Seeing him insist, Su Xiaoli no longer objected and agreed.

Soon, Tang Feng began to paint her portrait.

It took about half an hour to complete the painting.

He placed the finished work in front of Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli was stunned upon seeing her likeness in the painting!

It was incredibly lifelike!

Even many details on her clothes were captured.

“How do you like it?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“I love it! Of course, I love it! I’ll take it home and cherish it!” Su Xiaoli held the painting, showing how much she treasured it.

“As long as you like it! I’ll paint a few more for you when I have the chance,” Tang Feng was also very pleased.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything but nodded vigorously.

After a while, Uncle Su checked the time and then took Su Xiaoli home.

Tang Feng had wanted to invite them to stay for dinner, but they weren’t hungry, so he had to let it go.

Tang Feng ate something simple, then sat down at his study desk in the bedroom.

He turned on his laptop.

Played a couple of games.

While he was gaming, the system’s voice rang out.

“Congratulations to the host on receiving a new mission! Within ten days, you must help Su Xiaoli improve her calligraphy to level ten. If her calligraphy level reaches ten, you will have completed the mission and will receive a reward of six thousand points!”

Tang Feng lost interest in gaming after hearing the mission’s details.

He turned off the computer and started pondering how to quickly improve Su Xiaoli’s calligraphy level.

The mission reward was a whopping six thousand points!

He was somewhat puzzled by the standards for the system’s mission issuance.

In his view, proving the Riemann hypothesis was obviously much harder than helping Su Xiaoli improve her calligraphy level!

But for proving the Riemann hypothesis, the system gave five thousand points!

This mission’s reward was six thousand points!

An entire thousand points more!

However, he was well aware that improving Su Xiaoli’s calligraphy to level ten in such a short time would not be easy.

Especially since they were going to Jingcheng University in a week.

In the coming days, there would surely be a lot to do.

Especially after arriving at the Jingcheng University, their time together would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache coming on.

It seemed the system’s mission was not so easy to complete.

If he failed, he would have to watch as six thousand points slipped through his fingers!

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

No matter what, he had to find a way to complete the mission.

After thinking for a while, he finally called Su Xiaoli’s mobile phone.

Soon, the call was connected.

“Xiaoli, there’s something I want to discuss with you,” Tang Feng didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

“Tell me.”

“Starting tomorrow, unless you have special circumstances, come to my house, okay?” Tang Feng suggested.

“Aren’t I almost at your house every day?” Su Xiaoli was confused by his words.

“I know. I just want you to spend more time at my house,” Tang Feng responded.

“Ah? Why?” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.

“Don’t you want to learn calligraphy from me? I thought I’d help you improve a lot before school starts,” Tang Feng explained.

“Oh! I thought you had something else in mind. No problem! I’ll come over earlier tomorrow!” Su Xiaoli readily agreed.

“Also, have dinner at my house. That way, you can continue practicing in the evening,” Tang Feng said.

“Do we need to rush? I’m not preparing for any competition,” Su Xiaoli remarked.

“I was thinking. We’ll probably have a welcome party soon after we get to Jingcheng University. I want to perform a piece with you,” Tang Feng revealed his plan.
