Chapter 183
More than a month later.

……

"Next week, I will take the "Plot Attraction" exam. This is a compulsory course for the Book Appraisal Department. The credits are 100. If you fail the exam, you will not be able to get a diploma. Alright, let's end today's class first."

As soon as Professor Ouyang Ji finished speaking, the faces of the students in class 107 of the Book Appreciation Department were not very good-looking.

The written examination of the Book Appraisal Department is the most difficult of all the departments of the School of Fiction, with a pass rate of less than 70%, which means that about one-third of the students in the class will not be able to pass the assessment of "Plot Attraction" next week.

At that time, it can only be rebuilt for one year.

In fact, the intelligence level of the students of the Book Appreciation Department is relatively high, but the courses of the Book Appreciation Department are too profound, even if it is one in a thousand, it is difficult to fully master these courses.

Until now, Liu Xing is still confused about these courses.

However, Liu Xing was not too worried.

If he can find a novel about a book appraiser, he can learn all the courses of the book appraiser department at once, and then he can directly study for a master's or doctor's degree...

Liu Xing didn't really care about getting an extra master's or doctorate degree from the Department of Bibliography.It’s just that many libraries in the School of Fiction can only be accessed by students with high degrees. It is said that the Reading League also has a secret library, and only top-level book appraisers are eligible to access it.

Therefore, Liu Xing considered whether he should get a doctorate in book appraisal.

"Where can I find novels about book appraisers?"

With doubts, Liu Xing left the teaching building.

The setting sun slanted against the sky, it was already evening, and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the campus. Liu Xing was walking alone on a campus path.

"Liu Xing!"

A sweet female voice came, looking back, Zhang Yaxin.

She was holding a stack of manuscripts in her hand, and she quickly chased after her, saying, "You're finally back at school. What did you do last month, why didn't you come to class?"

"I'm on a business trip." Liu Xing replied casually. In order to get absorbed in "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", he asked for a leave of absence from school for a month, "What can I do for you?"

"Didn't you ask me to help collect the manuscripts for the essay competition?" Zhang Yaxin handed over the manuscripts in her hand. "This is the submissions received last month. There are a total of 18 submissions, all from the writing department."

Liu Xing's eyes lit up slightly. After waiting for two full months, the students of the writing department finally submitted their manuscripts.

After receiving the manuscript, Liu Xing took a look. The title of the first manuscript was "The Unknown Fiance", and the author of the novel was Zhang Yaxin's good sister Zhou Xiaolan.

This "Unknown Fiance" tells the story about the shadow man and Zhang Yaxin.

In the story city, Zhang Yaxin suspects that the person who captured the purple crown and green snake is the shadow man. She originally expected to meet the shadow man, but in the end she failed.

Zhou Xiaolan used this incident as a material to write the romance novel "The Unknown Fiance".

[Book Title] "The Unknown Fiance"

[Type] Romance novel

【Grade】One star
[Matching degree] 5.9%
"Zhou Xiaolan's "Unknown Fiance" is not bad, it should reach a one-star level." Liu Xing commented.

If "The Unknown Fiance" had been revised a few more times, it was likely to reach two or three stars.

However, the matching degree between Liu Xing and romance novels has always been relatively low. Even for five-star romance novels, the matching degree can hardly exceed 30%.

Therefore, Liu Xing does not have much hope for this "Unknown Fiance".

Of course, this is a one-star novel, enough to be shortlisted for the second round of the "Shadow Man Cup" essay contest.

After testing "Unknown Fiance", Liu Xing continued to test other manuscripts.

""The Man in the Shadow and the White Rose", a romance novel, one star, matching 2.9%"

""Dark Love", a romance novel, one star, matching 3.1%"

""Black Humor", a humorous novel, two stars, matching 15.2%"

……

The writing level of students in the writing department is indeed higher than that of ordinary people. 18 of the 16 manuscripts have reached the level of star novels, the highest rating is three stars, and it is a romance novel.

Unfortunately, among the 18 novel manuscripts, 14 are romance novels, and the highest matching degree is only 24%, which does not meet the minimum standard of 30% for ecstasy.

"Why do so many students write romance novels?" Liu Xing asked puzzled, "Does your writing department focus on romance novels?"
Zhang Yaxin explained: "Currently, most of the contributors are girls. The boys haven't made any progress yet. I guess they are about to finish writing. They should be playing in the basketball hall now. I'll go and ask for you."

Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you."

After discussing, the two went to the indoor basketball court of Yufeng Fiction Academy together.

……

The indoor basketball hall is located in the northwest area of ​​the school and is open to all students. You only need to show your student card to enter the hall.

As soon as I entered the hall, a spacious space appeared in front of my eyes. There are 10 basketball courts in total. Many boys are playing basketball. They are students from various departments of the School of Fiction.

At the side of the court, there was a large group of students watching.

When Zhang Yaxin walked into the basketball hall, many students turned their eyes from basketball to her.

"Isn't that Zhang Yaxin, a beautiful writer from the writing department? Why did you come to the basketball court?"

"Who has a mobile phone, lend me some photos."

"You don't know how to be so obscene, you actually play sneak shots?"

"If I don't shoot, I won't have a chance to shoot. Zhang Yaxin is already a senior this year and will graduate soon. I heard that she will be the host of the novel channel of Tianhai TV after graduation. It will be difficult to see her in the future!"

……

The students on the side of the court were talking in low voices, while some students on the court suddenly became extraordinarily vigorous as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

It was rare for Zhang Yaxin to come to the basketball court once, and some boys who had a crush on her naturally wanted to take the opportunity to show off.
"Liu Xing, they are over there."

Zhang Yaxin took Liu Xing to a court in the middle of the basketball hall. At this time, there were 6 boys playing a three-on-one bullfight on the court. They were all boys from the writing department.

"Yaxin, why are you here?" At this time, a boy wearing jersey No. 25 ran over from the side of the court. He was about 1 meters tall. He was the monitor of Class 83 of the Writing Department, and his name was Ke Fan.

"Student Ke Fan, let me introduce you, this is Liu Xing, a freshman from the Appreciation Department." Zhang Yaxin introduced.

Ke Fan laughed and said, "There's no need for an introduction. How could I not know Liu Xing?" He stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Liu Xing, "Boss Liu, I've heard of you for a long time! I went to the Meteor Book Bar last month. Bought two books."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ke Fan invited Liu Xing to play together.

Liu Xing wanted to make more friends with students from the writing department, so he readily agreed.

Zhang Yaxin helped find a number 7 blue jersey, handed it to Liu Xing, and asked tentatively, "Liu Xing, can you play basketball?"

"It should be." After putting on the jersey, Liu Xing walked to the court.

"Should?" Zhang Yaxin was speechless, suddenly worried that Liu Xing would make a fool of himself on the court.

While thinking about it, the basketball game has already started.

Liu Xing and Ke Fan were divided into different teams, and they became rivals.
The students in the writing department were very friendly. As soon as the game started, the ball was passed to Liu Xing, one meter away from the three-point line.

Ke Fan stepped forward and began to defend.He thought Liu Xing would break through with the dribble, after all, it was too far away from the basket.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xing raised his hand and voted without saying a word.

Liu Xing's shot was extremely fast.

He raised his arm upwards, and the basketball had already been thrown out of his hand, drawing a high arc in the air, and flying towards the hoop.

Swish!
The ball crashed into the net.

The people around were stunned.

Ke Fan, who was in charge of defending Liu Xing, also stood there dumbfounded.
The players and the audience didn't react, and Zhang Yaxin on the side thought that she was hallucinating: Liu Xing...did he make a shot?

"It's shit luck! Three points actually scored!"

"It must be a coincidence, right?"

"Of course it's a coincidence. I didn't see how he cast it. I guess he just threw it away."

……

After a moment of commotion, the game continued.

Everyone thought that Liu Xing's ball just now was luck.
Not long after, Liu Xing received the pass again, still outside the three-point line, still at the top of the arc.

However, this time the defensive player Ke Fan was more cautious. He stretched out his long arms and stood in front of Liu Xing, ready to fight.

Liu Xing looked calm, his eyes narrowed slightly, he stood still and shot directly.

Ke Fan was just about to jump up to block the shot, but unfortunately, just as this thought flashed through his mind, the basketball had already soared high again, passing over his head in another almost perfect arc.

Swish!
Same sound, same angle, same hollow into the net.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent, and many people around were dumbfounded.

"Why did you enter again?"

"It's another three-pointer!"
"Liu Xing deserves to be a genius book appraiser, his shots are so accurate!"
"Genius book appraisers have something to do with shooting. There is no reason for him to shoot so accurately? Could it be that geniuses have better luck than ordinary people?"

……

After scoring two three-pointers in a row, Liu Xing suddenly became the focus of the audience.

Some people are puzzled, some are surprised, some are curious.

Why so accurate?

The game continues.

After several passes, Liu Xing ran beyond the three-point line, and the ball fell into his hands for the third time.

Seeing this, Ke Fan immediately leaned forward and defended Liu Xing closely. His face was extremely serious, and he dared not show any carelessness.

Ke Fan is tall and has long arms, good lower body strength, very fast speed, and excellent defensive ability.

Liu Xing Lingbo took a slight step, changed direction, and slipped past Ke Fan's left side.

"how is this possible?"

Ke Fan's face was startled, he quickened his pace, and desperately chased after him.

As soon as he chased him out, Liu Xing turned his internal strength and stopped suddenly. With a tap of his toes, he took a big step backwards and fell outside the three-point line, leaving Ke Fan nearly three meters away.

A huge gap appeared in front of him.

When seeing Liu Xing standing outside the three-point line, everyone around knew that he should shoot a three-pointer again.

Everyone couldn't help opening their eyes wide, staring at Liu Xing, wanting to see how he shot.

However, when the graceful arc passed through the air for the third time, no one could clearly see how Liu Xing shot.

His shooting speed is too fast!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the basketball is spinning in the air, getting closer to the basket bit by bit...
Swish!
When the basketball hit the net again, the crowd of onlookers was instantly detonated, and thunderous applause and cheers sounded from all around at the same time.

"Three goals in a row!"

"Almost the same arc, this can't be luck, can it?"

"I watched it three times and I don't know how he shoots!"

"Liu Xing's shooting posture is different from everyone else's, and his shots are super fast!"

……

Facing the praise and applause around him, Liu Xing was very calm, and he was not surprised by his performance.

His shooting skills were very ordinary at first, but after he became fascinated by "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", the situation is completely different.

This novel contains elements of stream-of-consciousness, and Li Xunhuan's Little Li Feidao belongs to martial arts with stream-of-consciousness.

The key to Xiao Li's flying knife is the control of self-awareness.Whether the throwing knife can hit the target depends on the thought of the shot.

Xiao Li Feidao's ability to hit a hundred shots without fail is due to Li Xunhuan's perfect control of self-awareness.

The best state of consciousness has achieved the unsolvable hit rate of Xiao Li's flying knife.

Xiao Li Feidao's archery martial arts with stream of consciousness has now been transplanted into Liu Xing's mind.

Like throwing throwing knives, shooting basketball belongs to archery, and their success or failure lies in the feeling at the moment of shooting.

If you feel good, you will naturally hit the target.

Ordinary people's sense of the ball is good and bad, so they can't shoot stably.

On the other hand, Liu Xing can maintain the best state of consciousness, which is why the novel "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" with elements of stream-of-consciousness brings him benefits.

"Boss Liu, you are really hiding your secrets, you are so accurate in shooting!"

"Liu Xing's sense of the ball is so good that he can score with any throw. How did he get it done?"

"I shouldn't be able to practice it, it's a talent."

……

More than an hour later, Liu Xing and more than 20 male students from the writing department left the basketball hall together.When he came out, everyone was talking about Liu Xing's skills.

Liu Xing has conquered this group of male writers with his shots.

After chatting about basketball, they talked about writing again.
"Boss Liu, I will definitely participate in the essay competition. The manuscript is already being written." A boy from the writing department said, "The manuscript should be finished next week, and I will show you the manuscript then."
"Boss Liu, I am writing a supernatural novel this time. It is very difficult to create and requires a lot of materials." Ke Fan from the Writing Department explained, "I estimate that it will take at least another three months to finish the draft."
Liu Xingdao: "Slow work produces meticulous work, you write slowly. When you finish writing, you can submit the manuscript. Anyway, there is plenty of time."

"Row."

……

After saying goodbye to the boys, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

Liu Xing and Zhang Yaxin walked together on the campus path.
"Liu Xing, your charm is really great, and you convinced more than 20 boys to participate in the essay competition." Zhang Yaxin said, "I told them with all my heart and soul for a long time, and only more than 10 boys were willing to participate."

Liu Xing said: "Why, are you jealous?"

Zhang Yaxin covered her mouth and smiled: "What is there to be jealous about? However, your biography is getting more and more difficult to write, and you seem to have many advantages that I haven't discovered. If I hadn't watched you play today, I wouldn't have known that you shot basketball so well Yes! By the way, Liu Xing, I want to ask you something. Does the female author of "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadow Man" live with you?"

Liu Xing frowned: "You mean Wang Lanlan?"

"Yes." Zhang Yaxin said, "I heard that Wang Lanlan is very familiar with the shadow man, right?"

"Uh...it seems so, what's the matter?"

"I want her to do me a favor." Zhang Yaxin explained, "Didn't someone help me catch the purple-crowned green snake last time in the Romance Zone of Story City? I think the snake catcher is probably the shadow man. This piece I want to find out, but I can't find the shadow man. Since Wang Lanlan is very familiar with the shadow man, maybe she can help me confirm this matter to the shadow man."

Liu Xing suddenly realized, and said: "Who is the snake catcher, this is very important to you?"

"Of course." Zhang Yaxin said, "No matter what, he saved my life. What's more, you posted a marriage notice back then, so I have to tell him clearly, right?"

Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll ask Wang Lanlan to ask you a question."

"Well, please excuse me."
