Silent swept the students.
Listening to the professor, it was too complicated.
Artists’ works should be evaluated in a fair manner. The fact is the problem is difficult to resolve.
“Many experts praised works? The works will be judged subjectively, depending on the differences between the masses or within a niche of people. Many works of art faces rejection due to the point of view from the mainstream.”
“……”
“Though, to speak of, the Royal Road system is under complete security. To evaluate a piece of art, it’s classified information.”
“Don’t you know, professor?”
In respond to the student’s question, the professor showed a slightly embarrassed smile.
“In fact, I do not know how the system process and give Artistic Values. Maybe in a percentage, the level of the skills effect the value, but perhaps there are more than hundreds of variables to calculate the score. Or possibly, thousands?”
“If it’s that many…it’ll be difficult to obtain a good score.”
Shortly afterward, the many students who secretly fantasized about becoming an artist gloomed. If there was clear information regarding the criteria of how the value was given, it’d be easier to get a good score; but an unknown criterion with hundreds of variables would be difficult to solve.
The professor shook his head.
“I told you before, art isn’t difficult. A look, a feel, and if you can enjoy it, that’s enough. Rather than matching the hundreds of criterions, just go with what you think is better and create; because Royal Road is just a space in virtual reality.”
“……”
“Royal isn’t a simple game. Would it be that great if the skills were only at that level? Royal Road here is another world with a complete history from the beginning of its inception. In real life, is it possible to transform what you value in your mind to reality? Virtual reality realistically depicts reality, and it means something more. Not only can you, in essence, achieve your dream, but you can also enjoy it as the space hands out challenges to be flatten.”
The professor had a job in Royal Road.
His class was Landscaper.
His job was to maintain and cultivate beautiful flowers and trees.
The reason behind this particular class was when he obtained a quest at the beginning.
It was thank to a child sitting while watching a flower withering. Then the professor offered the child with a piece of advice on how to bring up the flower.
Then a quest occurred!
The professor gave the flower fertilizers and watered it as it revived. He took it as a sign to be a Landscaper, to cultivate flowers and trees and make them thrive.
Sometimes he got jobs to look after extravagant gardens, but sadly, there weren’t many of those. Of course, he was poorer than others, and he was proud but it wasn’t anything to boast about.
However, one time, the flowers attracted butterflies with its aroma under a starlit night.
It was a beautiful sight as the flowers bloomed.
It bloomed and faded away; in just one moment, it gave a great impression.
Royal Road was filled with exotic sights, that was its purpose.
The professor said forcibly.
“A space where people can achieve their dreams. Future lessons will be on real life and virtual reality in combination.”
After the lecture, the students left the classroom one after another.
“Oh I’m hungry.”
“Lets go quickly to get food. I don’t wanna be late and wait in line. What’ll you do afterward?”
“The library?”
“I have club activities.”
Other students were coming into class as it changes course. Lee Hyun then know it was the right time to leave.
Even though they were in the same department, nobody talked to Lee Hyun. He was essentially labeled as a returnee. In clothes that way past its prime, while bearing a face they didn’t recognize, he was easily ignored.
‘I got to eat lunch.’
Lee Hyun slowly moved alone.
Carrying his homemade lunch to the campus lawn!
Instead of being like the other who came and went to the cafeteria to get their lunch.
A picnic like relaxing tone. Some were eating in a relaxed mood, while others lying on the lawn to sleep.
College student romantic and atmosphere situation!
Many smiles on the faces of the students who were in the shades.
Lee Hyun, too, took out a lunch box to eat.
Ugokugok. (eating)
Radish kimchi and white rice!
A simple but tasty meal.
‘The kimchi hadn’t been soaked well.’
Nowadays, eating kimchi sold by the market was popular.
‘But at least the ingredients genuine.’
Lee Hyun was ok with the price because it’d be much more expensive if he was to soak the kimchi by himself.
Meanwhile, a brisk wind blew.
The students chatter and laughter from all around. Spring is coming.
‘Sleepy.’
After the meal, he let out a stretch and yawns followed.
Two hours till next lecture!
He could go to the library but there was no particular book he needed.
‘There’s no internet at times like these.’
He’s now on an adventure in the vampire’s kingdom, so sooner or later he’ll have to check on the prices of the items.
