Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 124, New Tasks, Creation, New Roommates

When Jiang Zhe returned to the dormitory, he saw his parents had already started helping him clean up the room, and hurriedly stopped them.

"Mom and Dad, I can clean up by myself, don't bother."

While hanging bedding and sheets to dry, mother Xu Li said, "This is just a small matter. You should dry these beddings in the sun while the sun is shining. Tonight, you should go back to the studio or go home to sleep."

Jiang Yi helped his son put his things away, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here, your mother and I have been bitten, you should prepare some floral water and mosquito coils.

Jiang Zhe agreed: "I understand."

The bed he chose was in the left row near the balcony door. After some cleaning, it was clean again.

In the dormitory, each student has the same bed configuration. There are bookshelves and wardrobes on the left and right of the computer desk, and a bed above.

This set of configurations can meet the basic needs of living and studying. As long as it is kept clean and tidy, it was considered a good dormitory in 2001.

Jiang Zhe looked at the time and said, "You can take your time to clean up the dormitory. It's almost lunch time. Shall we go to the cafeteria to eat?"

"Okay, let's take a look at the cafeteria food."

There are two canteens in the Art College, one large and one small, located next to each other.

Jiang Zhe first went to the big canteen to apply for a meal card and recharge it, and took a look at the food. Then, he went directly to the small canteen with his parents.

This place looks like a restaurant and is quite clean.

Jiang Zhe ordered four dishes and a soup.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Yi each tasted a bite of the dish.

"This dish is just average," Jiang Yi commented.

Xu Li said: "Xiaozhe, if you feel hungry, go home and eat."

Jiang Zhe said: "After school starts, I can't go home every day. I looked at the menu and the food in the small cafeteria is better than that in the big cafeteria. I won't be hungry."

After lunch, the family of three visited the campus.

The School of Arts is divided into three areas: music, fine arts, and drama performance. The three schools are arranged independently around a large playground.

Due to the terrain, there are some small sports fields, art galleries, concert halls and other buildings scattered around the campus.

The architectural style of the teaching buildings of each college is different. The campus landscape is cleverly designed and decorated with different plants and sculptures. Whether walking on the small paths or the main roads, you will find different scenery.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Yi particularly liked the school environment. They took a few photos and went home to rest with peace of mind.

Jiang Zhe returned to the dormitory and cleaned up.

Teacher Hu called Jiang Zhe and learned that Jiang Zhe was still in the dormitory, so he took him to see the classroom.

There are dozens of old-fashioned metal easels in the classroom.

Teacher Hu told Jiang Zhe that their first professional class was sketching, which would be held in this classroom.

She also conveyed a notice from the Academic Affairs Office that Jiang Zhe and several other students with outstanding academic performance would be awarded scholarships at the opening ceremony, and he would be required to go on stage to receive the award.

After Teacher Hu assigned the work, he asked Jiang Zhe to go back and rest.

Jiang Zhe was strolling around the campus and felt a little bored, so he suddenly had the idea to call Chen Yan.

"What? You've already reported?" Chen Yan was a little angry when she heard that Jiang Zhe had already arrived at the Art Academy: "That's too much. You didn't even wait for me."

Jiang Zhe explained that he was only here to check in today, and the actual registration had not yet begun. "Do you want to come and take a look?"

"wait for me."

Jiang Zhe waited for Chen Yan outside the school gate. The two entered the campus and began to tour and take pictures.

The two walked around and came to Jiang Zhe's dormitory.

Chen Yan found that the dormitory was not as beautiful as hers, and frowned.

Jiang Zhe said: "The girls' dormitory is a new building, so it should be better than here. However, the management of the girls' dormitory is strict, and boys are not allowed to enter."

Chen Yan said: "I have decided. I will come to check in tomorrow."

Jiang Zhe took Chen Yan to have dinner in the cafeteria and then sent her home.

He didn't want to go back to the dormitory to spend the night, so he went straight to his studio.

Only half a day later, Jiang Zhe saw his studio again and felt that it was so comfortable and luxurious.

He played music on the computer and began to copy small calligraphy to make up for today's learning.

An hour later, Jiang Zhe unexpectedly heard a system prompt sound.

Open the system and see the task prompt pop up on the page.

The player reports to the Art Academy, opening a new chapter in life. This moment is worth remembering, and the player is invited to use a painting to describe his or her feelings when reporting.

Random task requirements: Complete one or more fine paintings, abstract or figurative, with no restrictions on materials.

The system will evaluate the player's work and issue rewards. The system will also be upgraded according to the task results.

Jiang Zhe understood the requirements and started doing it immediately.

Although the description of the rewards in the task prompt is vague, the system upgrade should be a good thing, and perhaps the rewards will be greater.

He first ruled out abstract painting and then considered how to express emotions.

When you think back to when you arrived at your new school, what were your feelings? Anticipation, excitement, and a little hesitation? What words and images should be used to express these emotions?

As he thought about it, he sketched the image freely in his sketchbook.

Draw the scenes, characters, and even some objects you saw today.

This type of proposition has a high degree of freedom in creation and is more difficult.

Jiang Zhe drew many drafts in his sketchbook, but he had not yet decided on the content. It was not until midnight that he washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Jiang Zhe began to continue his work from last night.

At 11 a.m., he received a text message from Chen Yan, left the studio, and went to the Art Academy. Chen Yan was already standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, and when she saw Jiang Zhe, she chattered about the various things she had to do to check in.

Her dormitory is on the 8th floor of the new dormitory, room 812, also a four-person room with a bathroom. Unlike Jiang Zhe's dormitory, the furniture is new.

Chen Yan and Jiang Zhe had lunch together in the cafeteria. While eating, they also saw Teacher Hu.

Teacher Hu saw Jiang Zhe eating with a girl and did not show anything unusual.

Chen Yan lamented that university life was really different from high school life. The only thing she complained about was the quality of the food.

That day, neither of them stayed overnight in the school dormitory.

On the third day after checking in, Jiang Zhe moved his daily necessities to the dormitory and prepared to spend the night there. Sooner or later, he would have to adapt to school life.

When he was moving things, he saw senior students arriving one after another. The school organized buses to pick up new students from the train station. The campus became lively.

When Jiang Zhe was sitting at the desk sketching, the door was pushed open and a dark and thin boy walked in with luggage on his back.

When the boy saw Jiang Zhe, he took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, classmate, my name is Du Xin."

Jiang Zhe knew this was his new roommate, so he stood up and said, "Welcome. My name is Jiang Zhe. These three seats are empty, so you can choose your own."

"Thank you." Du Xin looked at the three beds and chose one near the entrance door.

Jiang Zhe offered to help.

Du Xin wears glasses, has short hair, and dresses maturely, and does not look like a fresh graduate.

"Brother Du, are you twenty this year?" Jiang Zhe asked.

Du Xin smiled and said, "I'm 26, don't I look old?"

Jiang Zhe said: "I can't tell, I thought you were only twenty years old."

The two chatted as they packed their things, from the majors they applied for to their respective lives.

Through the conversation, Jiang Zhe learned that Du Xin was a junior college student at the Art College. He returned to his hometown and worked as a primary school teacher for five years. Now he has a wife and children, and he returned to the Art College to take the college entrance examination.

Jiang Zhe said: "Brother Du is a successful person with a family and a career."

Du Xin said self-deprecatingly: "I was forced to do this. The academic qualifications required for job title evaluation are getting higher and higher. I always suffer a loss with my junior college degree, so I came to study for a bachelor's degree."

He has been in society for several years and is very mature in his speech and actions.

After he put his luggage away, he wanted to call his family.

The dormitory landline could not make calls to numbers outside the school. Du Xin bought a phone card and called his wife to let her know he was safe.

Jiang Zhe knew that it was necessary to get along well with his roommates, so he took the initiative to invite Du Xin to have lunch together.

While they were talking, the door was pushed open again. A fat boy walked into the dormitory pushing a large suitcase.

Jiang Zhe and the other man, knowing that their roommate had come again, immediately helped.

The new roommate introduced himself, his name is Shao Hui, he is from a neighboring province, and he studies printmaking.

Shao Hui chose the bed opposite Jiang Zhe, near the balcony door. He first thanked Jiang Zhe and the others for their help, and then said, "You came early and cleaned the dormitory so cleanly. I just passed by other dormitories and took a look. They were in a mess and I had to hold my breath.

He put away his gifts and said to Jiang Zhe and the others, "You haven't eaten yet, shall we go together? I've been wanting to eat Binhai seafood for a long time."

Jiang Zhe said, "Don't worry. You just arrived today. Eat the school food first to let your stomach get used to it. Then consider seafood."

Du Xin also said, "Yes, let's go get a meal card and go to the cafeteria to eat together. I haven't eaten the food here for several years. I miss it so much. I wonder if there have been any changes here."

Jiang Zhe said nothing.

The three of them came to the cafeteria together.

There are already a lot of people in the cafeteria and you need to queue up.

Du Xin got his meal card and went to the meal window to take a look while Shao Hui was getting his card. When he came back to line up, he said to Jiang Zhe, "It's been five years, and it hasn't changed at all. It still tastes the same."

At the canteen's food window, there are more than a dozen large aluminum basins, each containing a different dish.

Meat dishes are 2 yuan per spoon, mixed vegetables are 1 yuan per spoon, vegetarian dishes are cents per spoon, rice is cents per serving, and vegetable soup is free.

Jiang Zhe used his Tang porcelain lunch box, ordered a portion of braised pork with soybeans and a portion of dried tofu with green peppers, and bought a portion of rice.

Shao Hui and Du Xin also chose their favorite dishes. After they got their meals, they felt the cafeteria was too hot and noisy, so they went back to the dormitory to eat.

The quality of the food can only be described as relatively hygienic.

In the afternoon, Du Xin and his companion took back their bedding and military training uniforms.

Jiang Zhe continued to sketch.

The last roommate arrived.

The fourth roommate is named Gan Wenjie. He is thin and studies art education.

After Shao Hui and the other person came back and got to know each other, the dormitory gradually became lively.

In the evening, the four of them made an appointment to go to the canteen for dinner.

After spending an afternoon together, Jiang Zhe felt that his three roommates had different personalities, but they could all get along with each other.

He called home and told his parents that he would move to the dormitory to spend the night.

Jiang Yi and his wife gave more instructions.

Chen Yan asked Jiang Zhe to take a walk after dinner.

Before Jiang Zhe went out, he said hello to his roommates.

He saw Gan Wenjie carefully drawing a table and listing a detailed study plan.
