Lu Chen: The Mad Genius Of Creativity - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Reality Genre Creation Competition!

“Beep! Congratulations, host, you have activated the strongest creation system!”

Hearing this sudden cold mechanical voice, Lu Chen was first stunned. Then, his spirits lifted!

A system?

As a transmigrator, Lu Chen naturally knew what a system was.

“Looks like the novel wasn’t lying to me! Hurry up and introduce yourself!”

With the system’s introduction, Lu Chen quickly understood how to use it. As the name suggested, the strongest creation system would help Lu Chen smoothly navigate his creative journey!

As long as he triggered the emotions of the audience and judges while creating, he could earn emotional points. Emotional points were premium currency that could be used in the mall to exchange for any item, including various scripts, abilities, and even body-enhancing elixirs!

So cool!

Before the system, Lu Chen—What should I do next?

After the system—I am destined to prosper!

“Beep! Congratulations, host, you have received a newbie gift package. Do you wish to open it?”

“Yes!”

Lu Chen didn’t hesitate and opened it directly.

“Beep! Congratulations, host, you have received the following rewards—One script exchange voucher, which can be used at the script center in the mall to exchange for any script. A friendly reminder—-All scripts in the script center are ones that do not exist in parallel worlds! Feel free to choose!”

“Beep! Congratulations, host, you have received the ability—Agile Thinking! This ability will help you create faster and better!”

“Beep! Congratulations, host, you have received one body enhancement! A good body is the foundation for script creation!”

“Beep! Congratulations, host, you have received master-level scriptwriting ability!”

As the system voice fell, Lu Chen clearly felt something was different!

Not only was his brain clearer, and his thinking more agile and smooth, but his body was also significantly stronger than before.

He felt more energetic!

Moreover, Lu Chen had instantly mastered scriptwriting techniques!

He had become a master-level scriptwriter!

Lu Chen couldn’t help but marvel!

Having a cheat really made a difference.

As for the emotional points…

He glanced at the camera guy beside him and remembered!

The ‘Pen Like God’ competition was always broadcasted live. It used to be on TV, but now, live streaming platforms were springing up like mushrooms. The program team had also followed the trend of the times and set up an official live stream!

He guessed that many viewers must be watching the 32 finalists’ qualifying match in the live stream right now.

“No wonder there’s something called emotional points…”

Lu Chen maintained his composure, not wanting to reveal any flaws.

At this moment, the opening speeches by the four judges had ended.

Lu Chen wasn’t in a rush to study the system right away. He focused his attention back on the stage.

Xiao Sa took over the conversation and continued hosting.

“The teachers have all introduced themselves briefly and sent their blessings to the competition. Let’s give them a round of applause!”

“Wow!”

The applause echoed through the room.

“Now, the competition has entered the national finals stage!

Today is the 32-final qualifying round.

Next, we will have the 16-finals, 8-finals, 4-finals, 2-finals, and the grand finals!

The intensity of the competition will gradually increase!

So next, I will introduce the rules and content of the upcoming matches!

Please pay close attention, contestants…”

Saying this, Xiao Sa pulled out a rule card from his pocket!

All the contestants, including Lu Chen, perked up their ears and listened attentively!

The key points were coming!

Xiao Sa continued, “First: In the upcoming matches, we will have two sets of scoring reviews for each contestant’s work.

One set of scores will be from online viewers, and the other from the judges. The final score will be the average of the two.

We will select the contestants for the next round based on their scores, with each round having a set threshold.”

“Second: Unlike previous fantasy-themed competitions, this year’s ‘Pen Like God’ competition focuses on reality genre creations!

As usual, we will provide a topic for each round.

You can create freely based on this topic!

We hope everyone stays true to the theme and leans towards realistic themes!

At the same time, don’t worry too much about the genre limitations.

While this competition mainly focuses on realism, there may still be other types of topics provided in future rounds, depending on the program team’s arrangement.”

“Third: We do not require everyone to create a complete script within the limited time.

After all, scriptwriting takes a lot of time and effort!

Given the extremely limited time for the competition, it would be unreasonable to expect a complete script.

However! We still hope that everyone can create a story that is as complete and engaging as possible!

This is very important!

To make the story more exciting, you can create some episodes, develop key characters, or write some important lines!

You can even sketch some eye-catching storyboards!

In short, you can use any method that can show the excitement of your story!”

“That’s right!”

The four judges nodded in agreement!

“Fourth: And the final point!

The creation needs to be positive and lawful!

Please avoid sensitive topics in your scripts!

You don’t have to write controversial plots just for attention!

If we find any violations, we will issue a warning!

If you persist, we might disqualify you from the competition!

Please be sure to pay attention!”

Xiao Sa’s tone was much more serious.

The contestants below exchanged glances!

They had heard about previous years’ contestants who wrote inappropriate content to grab attention, which led to their disqualification.

It seemed that this year’s competition had stricter rules!

…

Lu Chen slightly squinted his eyes. He wasn’t worried about the program team’s rules at all. After all, the scripts in his library had all passed official censorship and were qualified!

He didn’t need to write anything inappropriate. What Lu Chen needed to focus on now was… what kind of topics the program team would present!

That was crucial for him!

“Next, let’s welcome Teacher Chen Sicheng to officially unveil the topic for this round of the 64-to-32 finalist competition!

Welcome, Teacher Chen Sicheng!”

Applause erupted.

Chen Sicheng smiled and walked to the front of the stage. A staff member holding a tray of paper walked up to him. The tray contained a rolled-up document. It was probably the topic for this round of the competition!

Chen Sicheng took the document.

Instead of opening it immediately, he smiled at the audience and said, “Teachers Liu, Yan, and Shuiping are all highly respected figures in the industry. I’m thick-skinned, so I’ll announce the topic for this round myself. Before I officially announce the topic, I want to add one more thing.

Creating a story requires the writer to invest a lot of passion and energy. I hope everyone can cast aside distractions and fully commit to creating a quality story in the upcoming competition!”

Lu Chen couldn’t help but admire!

This big shot really knew how to put on a show before announcing the topic.

“Alright, I will now officially announce the topic for the 32-final qualifying round..,” Chen Sicheng said, as he opened the scroll…
