 Chapter 507 It’s another charity dinner!

 The temperature in Central Continent has begun to rise in February. It is no longer as cold as January. Some people have begun to try to take off their down jackets.

Lin Zhibai wore a plush leather jacket and walked out of the cabin, followed by Jiang Cheng and a group of staff, almost all of whom were from the Kunpeng family.

 That’s right.

Lin Zhibai has arrived in Zhongzhou.

This departure was very low-key. There was no big fanfare to announce it to the world. Only family members knew Lin Zhibai's whereabouts.

However, this news was bound to not be kept secret for too long, especially on the morning of February 1st, after people saw the word "White Emperor" appearing on the Central Continent Star Rating List.

 “Bai Di!?”

 “He has come to Middle-earth!?”

“Didn’t you say that Bai Di will develop in Chuzhou next?”

“Hahaha, it must be that Chuzhou didn’t welcome him, so he just came to our place!”

“Chuzhou doesn’t welcome him, but we welcome him. I like Bai Emperor so much!”

"I was saying before that with Bai Emperor's ability, he would come to our Central Continent sooner or later to develop, but I didn't expect that he would come so fast!"

“The last thing I expected was the rating. Bai Di just came to Central Continent and he started out as a first-line star!”

"I'm not surprised by this. Zhongzhou often surfs the Internet. Who doesn't know who Bai Di is these days? His popularity is worthy of a second-tier start, not to mention his ability is too strong. We already have many die-hard fans here. Support, it’s understandable if you join the front line.”

“No matter what the starting point is, Bai Di will definitely become a super giant!”

“But Lin Zhibai must be the first outsider to develop in Central Continent in so many years, and his initial level is a first-tier celebrity, right?”

 “That’s right.”

 Zhongzhou officials attach great importance to Lin Zhibai!

 Most of Zhongzhou’s netizens welcomed Lin Zhibai’s arrival.

Because Lin Zhibai had pressed the master of Zhongzhou calligraphy in Qi Chuwen, he pressed the master of Zhongzhou calligraphy Zhuge Qiuliang to rub on the ground, and he was hostile to him.

 And everyone seems to be sure of one thing:

Lin Zhibai will definitely become a super star in Central Continent!

It’s just that although everyone guessed that Lin Zhibai might have arrived in Zhongzhou, the media did not find his whereabouts.

 This is of course Lin Zhibai deliberately keeping a low profile.

 After he came to Middle-earth, he first settled down in his residence.

Lin Zhibai’s residence is, of course, a villa in the central city of Zhongzhou.

It is worth mentioning that before coming to Zhongzhou, Lin Zhibai accepted an interview with a magazine called "Long Yin Weekly".

This is probably a magazine similar to Time Magazine. Each issue invites a celebrity for an exclusive interview. Entrepreneurs, philanthropists, entertainment stars, sports stars, and other leaders from all walks of life have the opportunity to receive an olive branch from this magazine.

 Because the quality of the magazine is high enough.

 It has a very high influence on all continents!

 People from all walks of life are even more proud to be interviewed by this magazine!

 Lin Zhibai not only received an exclusive interview, but was also invited to be the cover character of the February issue of Longyin...

to this end.

Long Yin’s team made a special trip to Qinzhou in mid-January. After completing the interview, they also took a lot of hard photos of Lin Zhibai. By then, they should have selected the most suitable one for the cover.

coincidentally:

 This day is February 1st, which is not only the day when Lin Zhibai first arrived in Zhongzhou, but also the day when the February issue of Longyin with him as the cover character was released.

 …

 The advantages of having no walls in Middle-earth are reflected in all aspects, just take "Dragon Song Weekly" as an example.

 Magazines from each continent are usually only published within their own continent, but as the top magazine in Central Continent, "Dragon Song Weekly" can be published simultaneously on a global scale!

  In other words.

 The latest issue of "Long Yin Weekly" can be purchased in all continents!

On this day, readers of "Long Yin Weekly" on all continents saw the cover character of this issue at a glance when buying impurities:

Lin Zhibai!

The photo on the cover shows Lin Zhibai sitting on a wide-backed chair with his ten fingers intertwined. He looks inexplicably cold and majestic, like a sacred and inviolable king.

certainly.

In addition to this noble and kingly temperament, Lin Zhibai's appearance that can amaze everyone without any refinement is also highlighted in the texture-rich picture. Although the outline of his eyes is darker, it is difficult to see It's not particularly realistic, but it also adds a bit of mystery.

　　唰!

 Soon, this cover photo of "Dragon Song Weekly" spread wildly on the Central Continent Internet!

 “Wow wow wow! Bai Di! So handsome!”

“Isn’t he much more handsome than those male artists who are famous for their looks?”

“I didn’t expect that the cover character of this issue of Longyin was Lin Zhibai. I’m going to buy this issue for my collection.”

“I received an invitation from Long Yin as soon as I arrived in Central Continent, and I’m still on the cover, haha.”

“The fact is that the existence of Bai Di is not that he begged "Long Yin Weekly", but that Long Yin begged him to be interviewed."

 “That’s true.”

 “What was the interview about?”

 “Looking at it!”

 “I’ll buy a copy and read it too!”

Everyone is very curious about what was discussed in this exclusive interview with Bai Di.

Long Yin also knew the needs of readers, so he placed the exclusive interview with Lin Zhibai on the most prominent front pages of the magazine.

 Conversations are presented in text form.

 Reporter: Hello, Mr. Lin Zhibai, what is your next work plan?

 Bai Di: Intercontinental Eight Stars.

 Reporter: As far as I know, you only have two stars now. How long do you think it will take you to achieve the goal of eight stars?

 Bai Di: A conservative estimate is within two years, but I would prefer it to be within one year.

Reporter: I believe that apart from you, no other star-struck intercontinental player dares to say this. This is too exaggerated! So what areas will you focus on next?

 Bai Di: I am interested in trying any field.

  Reporter: Chuzhou people seem to have some opinions on Teacher Bai Di.

Bai Di: So I decided to change my next stop from Chuzhou to Zhongzhou.

 Reporter: You are coming to Zhongzhou! ?

Bai Di: No matter Qinzhou or Qizhou, including Chuzhou, they have actually lost their challenge to me. I heard that the competition in Central Continent is more fierce than other continents, so I want to give it a try. This way I can Achieve your goals as quickly as possible.

 Reporter: I think many people in Zhongzhou will be nervous.

 Bai Di: I prefer that everyone discuss and communicate in a friendly atmosphere.

Reporter: Many people are discussing now, what are you best at, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and couplets, or music?

Bai Di: Because I’m quite good at these things, so I don’t have anything particularly good at them.

 …

 There are more after.

 The interview was very long.

Lin Zhibai’s fans have finished watching it happily.

 Readers in some continents were stunned when they saw it.

 For example, Yanzhou.

“By the way, who is this Bai Di? Why does he feel so dickish?”

 “Don’t you know, he is the talented calligrapher at last year’s charity dinner!”

“Recently, haven’t there been a lot of reposts of videos of him participating in the Qi Chu Wen Dou? After watching it, you will know that he is a super outrageous person!”

 It is not like Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhaozhou and Zhongzhou.

Lin Zhibai’s fame in Yanzhou is probably still at the level of a fourth-tier star?

 Finally, when I suddenly saw that "Longyin Weekly" ranked Lin Zhibai like this, it was normal for Yanzhou readers to be confused.

 Hongzhou also has similar feelings.

 “Axi, this Lin Zhibai looks so cool!”

“Isn’t that the talented calligrapher at the charity dinner in Qinzhou?”

“I know him. He is not only a genius calligrapher, but also the number one calligraphy master of Blue Star. This is recognized by the global industry.”

“The cover is really cool!” Finally, there is Wei Zhou, who is not very familiar with Lin Zhibai.

"Long Yin is so exaggerated. He actually said that Lin Zhibai is the contemporary King Chen. Is he so talented?"

“Dude, you haven’t watched Qi Chuwen Dou. I suggest you search for video resources. Your eyes will widen after watching it!”

 “Someone dares to call himself Bai Emperor!?”

“I suggest you find out about this person’s record, and then you’ll know why he dares to call him Bai Di.”

 Obviously.

This time, Lin Zhibai’s fame will reach a higher level in all continents.

 Especially in Yanzhou, Weizhou and Hanzhou, everyone's impression of the word "Bai Di" has deepened a lot.

Interestingly.

Netizens here in Chuzhou are a little confused!

"What's the meaning?"

 “The White Emperor won’t come to Chuzhou?”

“No, why don’t you keep your words? Didn’t you already agree that the next stop is Chuzhou?”

 “What’s the matter with suddenly running to Middle-earth!”

“It’s all your fault, shouting about boycott every day, which made Bai Emperor’s impression of Chuzhou worse!”

“What’s wrong with Bai Di? He helped Qizhou, and Zhaozhou people helped us Chuzhou. They are essentially the same. They are just the needs of foreign aid!”

 “Ahhhh!”

 “I really want Emperor Bai to come to Chuzhou!”

 “I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.”

Eighty percent of netizens in Chuzhou are somewhat resistant to Lin Zhibai.

But Lin Zhibai suddenly decided to give up the Chuzhou Market, and the people here suddenly felt a little disappointed again.

 In the final analysis, Chuzhou people worship the strong at heart, and Lin Zhibai actually conquered them during the civil war!

  After the literary fight is over.

The Chu people shouted "boycott", but actually it was more or less because of their tough words. You can't kneel down and lick the other person after being bullied, right?

 We Chu people want to save face!

So the Chu people became "arrogant".

I never expected that this arrogance would directly make Lin Zhibai unwilling to come!

This is a bit embarrassing. The people of Chuzhou were still looking forward to what Lin Zhibai would bring when he entered Chu.

Some people in Chuzhou have even asked about Lin Zhibai’s feats in Qizhou. They are full of expectations, and now they are poured cold water on them.

 “It’s boring.”

“If Lin Zhibai comes, Chuzhou will be very exciting.”

 “I’d better continue watching “One Piece”, I’ll see the latest update soon.”

 The people of Chuzhou were lost.

 …

Lin Zhibai was willing to accept an exclusive interview with "Long Yin Weekly" for the above reasons.

 This magazine has great influence.

 What Lin Zhibai values ​​most now is his global influence.

 Collaborating with Long Yin is only the first step of the plan. Lin Zhibai has a second plan next.

 This plan is:

Lin Zhibai wants to draw a painting!

 The name of this painting is "Travel to Langshan".

Langshan Mountain is the most famous mountain in Central Continent and can be called the most representative scenic spot.

After Lin Zhibai’s painting skills became a god, apart from drawing comics, he has never really devoted himself to painting a painting.

When he participated in the Qi Chu Wen Dou, he painted an ink painting of "Travel to Lishan Mountain". Not only did he win the championship, but he also stunned the audience. But don't forget that the competition time was limited, so Lin Zhibai's painting was based on his name. Completed with a rush mentality.

 The next painting is "Travel to Langshan".

Lin Zhibai wanted to paint a work in the true sense!

Just like Lin Zhibai's "Lanting Preface" is his pinnacle calligraphy masterpiece!

Lin Zhibai hopes that this painting "Travel to Langshan" can become the pinnacle painting masterpiece of his personal career!

at the same time.

Lin Zhibai also hopes that after this painting is officially released, he can become recognized as the first person to paint Blue Star!

Of course many people now say that Lin Zhibai is the number one painter of Blue Star, but Lin Zhibai knows that this is not enough.

 He must have some achievements beyond word-of-mouth.

for example…

 The amount of the work auctioned!

 Yes, after Lin Zhibai painted "Travel to Langshan", he planned to put it up for auction.

Lin Zhibai believed that with his skill of "writing like a god" and his miraculous painting skills, he would be able to make this painting extraordinary, and it would definitely attract the attention of some wealthy people!

 At that time.

 It is very possible for this painting to sell for a sky-high price!

The new Blue Star Charity Dinner just happened to be held in Zhongzhou, and it was on the 7th of this month, with less than a week left before it started.

Lin Zhibai has received the invitation letter and is one of the representatives of the Qinzhou delegation.

“Last year I took out the calligraphy "Lanting Preface", and the auction price is still the highest record in the calligraphy world. This year, I rely entirely on this painting to support the event."

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai has already started his creation. In the next week or so, he will devote all his energy to painting.

 That’s what he thought and did.

I can only say that Lin Zhibai’s character is very tolerant of loneliness.

This kind of patience is possessed by Lin Zhibai himself and is not given by the system.

Although Lin Zhibai often feels that his success depends on the help of the system.

But Lin Zhibai did not belittle himself and thought that he was a waste and relied solely on the system to win all the way.

Before the head injury, he had always been very good and stood out among his peers.

that's all.

 Nearly a week has passed.

Lin Zhibai's "Travel to Langshan" was finally completed, and then he officially headed to the charity dinner.

at the same time.

 All continents have also turned on their televisions.

 “It’s about to begin!”

 “Another annual charity dinner!”

“I don’t know which continent will take the top spot this year!”

“Haha, generally the continent where the event is held is the one that raises the most donations. This year it is held by Zhongzhou, and they will not let other continents donate more than them.”

 “That’s true.”

 “The people in Middle-earth are the most wealthy.”

“But if Lin Zhibai comes up with another calligraphy work this year, how should Zhongzhou respond?”

 “Don’t forget Bai Di’s “Lanting Preface” last year!”

"Even if Lin Zhibai has calligraphy, it will be difficult to sell it for the same price as "Lanting Preface"... right?"

 No one dares to say anything.

 No one dares to underestimate Qin Zhou’s fundraising ability.

 Because although Lin Zhibai came to Zhongzhou to develop, he can only represent Qinzhou on this occasion!

ps: If nothing else happens, we should be able to finish the book before the end of next month. I believe everyone can see that the plot is coming to an end at this point. The protagonist’s status is very high. It will be difficult to have new stories without suppression. The emotions are exciting, but if there is any further suppression, it seems a bit deliberate and fake. This time is usually when the story is about to end. I hope Lin Zhibai’s final story can end smoothly~
