Chapter 317 Teacher Bai's Class Begins, No Need to Panic with a Renowned Scholar in Hand
This made everyone discuss the matter even more enthusiastically.
Who would have thought that this fairy-like girl seemed to possess an endless wellspring of surprises, constantly bringing unexpected joy to everyone!
In just one day, she first shone brightly during the poetry writing session, and then the food she sponsored was also highly praised...
And now, in her signature skill of painting, which everyone is most proud of, she has come up with a new trick...
The onlookers stood not far away, watching, and their voices gradually grew louder as they chatted amongst themselves.
But these noises did not affect Bai Mengran at all; she remained immersed in her creative world.
This is her consistent habit; once she enters the creative process, she unconsciously enters a state of flow and immerses herself completely in it.
Only when a lifelike landscape painting gradually unfolded before everyone's eyes did she gently exhale and slowly raise her head.
But then he found himself completely surrounded by people...
"Miss Bai, is this...is this really a painting?"
One of them stared wide-eyed, asking incredulously, his eyes filled with shock, "How can it be so realistic?"
It's as if the real scenery right in front of us has been directly transported into this painting..."
Seeing the expressions of shock on everyone's faces, just as she had expected, Bai Mengran felt a surge of pride. A slight smile played on her lips as she explained:
"This is an oil painting, which borrows painting techniques from the West."
Unlike the traditional Chinese paintings you are used to, this one places greater emphasis on the use of color and the expression of three-dimensionality.
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in amazement, filled with curiosity and a desire to explore this unheard-of "oil painting".
They thought to themselves that this young lady was no ordinary person, as she knew so much knowledge that was beyond their comprehension.
At this moment, the old man who had stopped first could no longer suppress his inner desire and took a step forward with slight hesitation.
He asked cautiously, "May I ask Miss Bai if you could teach us your oil painting techniques?"
This old man is a renowned painter, especially skilled in landscape painting.
At first, when Bai Mengran was still using large brushstrokes to lay down blocks of color, the old man felt that the painting style was strange and even suspected that she was just scribbling randomly.
However, as the creation progressed, he witnessed this lifelike work being born step by step right before his eyes, and the shock he felt was indescribable.
What I initially thought was a strange work has suddenly become a stunning masterpiece!
Moreover, the more he watched, the more engrossed he became, and he seemed to have vaguely grasped something.
This elderly man, who has always been obsessed with painting, was now like a student thirsting for knowledge, his desire for knowledge reaching an unprecedented peak.
Bai Mengran was about to agree when a sudden idea struck her, and she said to everyone:
"Teaching you oil painting techniques isn't out of the question..."
However, since you are all great painters, if you could gift my daughter the paintings you spontaneously created today, I would certainly teach her everything I know!
Upon hearing that such rare techniques could be exchanged for a painting, the onlookers, led by the old man, immediately expressed their willingness.
"After the exhibition is over, I will inscribe the painting and present it to Miss Bai. Is that alright?" the old man said first.
"If Miss Bai doesn't mind my paintings, you can have as many as you like!" the young scholar quickly agreed.
"I would also be willing to exchange my paintings for..."
Others echoed.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Bai Mengran quickly acquired a collection of masterpieces by contemporary literati painters.
She was delighted and began to teach everyone some basic oil painting knowledge.
She was surrounded by scholars and intellectuals of all ages, like a group of children bursting with curiosity, who bombarded her with questions like a machine gun.
Some people are curious about what materials these paints are made of, some are fascinated by the materials of the paintbrushes, and others are eager to know how to achieve such realistic effects...
Bai Mengran remained patient throughout, answering everyone's questions one by one.
The scene truly evoked the feeling of a teacher instructing students, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.
After the lectures ended, many students began to call her "Teacher Bai" and their attitude towards her became extremely respectful.
The group brought their paintings to the exhibition area, where they admired each other's work and exchanged techniques.
As expected, Bai Mengran's oil paintings immediately stood out from the crowd of traditional Chinese paintings upon their debut, setting them apart from the rest.
More importantly, this technique is something that no one has ever experienced before, which makes it particularly special.
After handing in their paintings, Bai Mengran and Lu Yanran couldn't wait to head off to their afternoon tea appointment.
Bai Mengran went on a shopping spree, ordering almost every dessert, snack, and fruit platter that caught her eye.
Afterwards, she chatted comfortably with Lu Yanran while enjoying the wonderful afternoon tea time.
These desserts and pastries certainly lived up to expectations; each one was a masterpiece.
The two of them achieved complete freedom in choosing desserts, and the food was so delicious that they felt incredibly happy!
After a while, as expected, Elder Lu asked Bai Mengran whether they would set off for the [Fairyland] immediately after the banquet, as she had previously stated.
If that's the case, Mr. Lu plans to announce the good news later.
After spending the whole day together, everyone present had an unforgettable and wonderful impression of [Fairyland]. If the news of their upcoming stay was announced, everyone would be extremely excited.
Before Bai Mengran could even answer Old Lu's question, she hurriedly asked the system, "System, tell me about that guesthouse..."
Unexpectedly, the system seemed to have anticipated her thoughts, replying directly: [Mission complete, guesthouse ready!]
With the system's words, Bai Mengran instantly felt reassured.
She quickly came to her senses and gave Mr. Lu a positive answer.
Old Lu nodded happily at her and praised her a few times before turning to leave.
At the same time, the system's formal task completion announcement rang clearly in Bai Mengran's ears:
[Ding, congratulations host, 〖Main Quest 15〗: Organize a banquet with flowing water and wine cups, and be responsible for providing all the food for the banquet. Take this opportunity to increase the popularity of 〖Fairyland〗 in literary circles. The quest has been completed.]
Rewards: Full reimbursement of banquet-related expenses, a complimentary luxury Moxiang Inn (fully furnished), and unlimited water, electricity, and daily necessities.
At this moment, Bai Mengran was completely relieved.
She was overjoyed, "Mwah, Tongbao! I can't wait to see what this legendary figure will be like~"
The guesthouse rewarded by this task is currently the only place in [Fairyland] open to guests for overnight stays.
Although it's not a hotel, the luxury guesthouse is clearly more stylish and upscale.
