I gently pushed open the door, and Sisi was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Chen Hao tiptoed to bed, and as soon as he lay down, Sisi seemed to sense something.

She rolled over in her sleep, groggily snuggling into his arms, her little hands unconsciously clutching his pajamas.

Chen Hao smiled slightly, hugged his daughter's soft little body tightly, gently kissed the top of her head, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep as well.

...

The next day, life went on as usual.

Chen Hao got up early and made a nutritious breakfast for Sisi—millet porridge, boiled eggs, and wontons that he made himself.

After the father and daughter finished eating together, Chen Hao changed Sisi into a pretty dress, combed her hair, and then drove her to kindergarten.

Goodbye, Daddy!

At the kindergarten gate, Sisi tiptoed and kissed Chen Hao on the cheek before skipping and hopping into the classroom with her teacher.

"Goodbye, Sisi. Be good and listen to your teacher."

Chen Hao smiled and waved.

Upon returning to Yunding Mansion, Chen Hao did not rest but went straight to his study.

He turned on his computer and began creating a new fairy tale.

Recently, the data for "The Adventures of the Chen Family's Daughter in the Mountains and Seas" on Tongxin.com has been getting better and better. Editor Zhao Ziming told him that readers are very eager for more updates, and the platform also hopes that he can maintain a stable update frequency.

This was not a difficult task for Chen Hao, whose master-level literary creation skills gave him countless inspirations.

He plans to write two articles today.

One is a new version of "Jingwei Filling the Sea"—

In her dream, the little girl Sisi helped the Jingwei bird, using her wisdom and courage to persuade the sea god. In the end, Jingwei no longer had to carry stones, and the sea also gave up a piece of land for Jingwei to settle down.

The other version is adapted from "Kuafu Chasing the Sun," but in this version, Kuafu doesn't die of thirst while chasing the sun.

Instead, with Sisi's prompting, it learned to make water storage tools, eventually caught up with the sun, became friends with it, and brought more suitable light and heat to the world.

[Ding! A classic myth has been cleverly reconstructed, infused with modern values ​​and childlike fun. Literary experience +188.]

[Ding! The characters are vividly portrayed, and the plot unfolds naturally and smoothly. Experience +175.]

[Ding! The language is vivid and concise, catering to children's reading habits. Experience +162.]

After finishing the two stories, Chen Hao checked for typos and then uploaded them to Tongxin.com.

The system shows that his collection of works, "The Adventures of the Chen Family's Daughter in the Mountains and Seas," now contains fifteen stories and has a total word count of over 60,000.

After uploading, he casually checked his earnings from yesterday.

When the number appeared, Chen Hao's eyes lit up: 28,742 yuan!

It's hit a new record again!

It's nearly four thousand more than the day before yesterday.

It seems the effect of the splash screen recommendation is still growing, and reader engagement is very strong.

Based on this trend, this month's income from fairy tales alone could exceed 500,000.

Chen Hao was in a great mood and logged into the KuYin APP again to check his song revenue.

Of the seven songs, "Sisi's Rainbow Bridge" and "Starlight and Dust" remain the mainstays, but several other children's songs and pop songs also make steady contributions.

Yesterday's total income: 15,386 yuan.

It also set a new record.

"Looks like both paths have worked out," Chen Hao muttered to himself, a smile spreading across his face.

Fairy tales and music, two creative directions based on his masterful skills, have already generated a stable cash flow.

With the daily inflow of funds from the system's "Dad's Fund," he no longer needs to worry about money.

But this is not enough.

He wanted to give Sisi a better life and also wanted to accumulate more capital for himself.

Moreover, having more skills means having more career options and more security.

He glanced at the time; it wasn't even 10 a.m. yet.

Why not take advantage of your current good condition and create a few new songs?

After a moment's thought, Chen Hao finalized the direction and names for his four new songs:

The first song, continuing the nursery rhyme series for Sisi, is called "The Stars Don't Speak," and its theme is about the night sky, dreams, and the silent companionship between father and daughter.

The second song is a popular love song called "Passing By Your World," which describes the feelings of meeting and missing each other, a bittersweet yet beautiful emotion.

The third song is an inspirational pop-rock track called "Before Dawn," about the courage to persevere in the darkness and wait for the light.

The fourth song, a Chinese-style R&B piece called "Dream of Jiangnan in the Rain," blends classical poetic imagery with modern rhythms to tell a story of a seemingly real yet illusory encounter.

After determining the direction, Chen Hao entered the recording studio.

He first wrote the lyrics and melody framework, and then started arranging and recording the demo.

For him now, this process is quite familiar.

[Ding! The melody is fresh and beautiful, appealing to children's aesthetics. Music experience +156, singing experience +148.]

[Ding! The lyrics of this love song are delicate and subtle, expressing emotions accurately. Literature experience +132, music experience +145.]

[Ding! The rock arrangement is layered and the emotions build powerfully. Music experience +188, singing experience +165.]

[Ding! This piece blends traditional Chinese elements with a modern musical style, demonstrating strong innovation. Music experience +195, singing experience +172.]

All four songs were recorded by 1 p.m.

After eating a quick bite, Chen Hao uploaded four new songs to the KuYin platform, still using the stage name "Haolin".

After finishing all that, he leaned back in his chair and rested for a while.

He plans to spend the rest of the afternoon exploring a third creative direction – painting.

His painting skills are now at a master level, which is enough to create quite excellent works.

Moreover, the art market, if managed properly, could offer even greater profit margins than fairy tales and music.

Just do it.

Chen Hao changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and went out to buy art supplies.

Instead of going to a regular stationery store, he navigated to a well-known professional art supply store in Shanghai.

The store has a complete range of items, from various types of paper and canvas to paints, brushes, and easels.

Chen Hao pushed the shopping cart and carefully selected items.

He decided to try traditional Chinese landscape painting first, as it is the essence of Chinese painting and best reflects his skill and artistic conception.

He selected several reams of high-quality Xuan paper—both raw and sized Xuan paper. Raw Xuan paper is highly absorbent and suitable for freehand brushwork; sized Xuan paper is treated with alum and glue and is suitable for meticulous brushwork.

In terms of pigments, he chose traditional Chinese painting pigments, including basic colors such as ochre, indigo, gamboge, and cinnabar, as well as some high-grade mineral pigments.

I chose a set of wolf hair and sheep hair brushes of different sizes for the paintbrush.

Other auxiliary tools such as brush washer, palette, paperweight, and felt are also provided.

Finally, he also bought a solid wood easel and a portable drawing table.

When it was time to pay, the cashier quoted a total price of over 8,600 yuan.

Chen Hao swiped his card to pay without changing his expression—this investment was nothing compared to his current income.

Moreover, if the painting can be sold, the return could be far more than that.
