Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

The bright moon hung high in the sky as Gu Fenglin and Chu Yun walked side by side.

"Chu Yun, are you interested in participating in the forging competition?" Gu Fenglin suddenly asked.

"A forging competition?" Chu Yun asked in confusion.

"Is it that competition held by the Empire to select and train talent?"

Training blacksmiths is very expensive, and ordinary families can hardly afford it. In order not to waste blacksmithing talents, the empire holds a blacksmithing competition every three years.

Any citizen of the Empire aged between ten and thirty can participate.

Once a player makes it into the top 50 in the competition, the Empire will provide them with financial assistance to help them grow.

"The competition you're talking about is organized by the Empire, but I'm referring to the competition organized by aristocratic families," Gu Fenglin replied.

"The imperial family wants to train blacksmiths and reduce its reliance on blacksmith families as much as possible. Naturally, the families will also try to recruit talents."

Chu Yun was slightly taken aback.

She had indeed heard of the elite forging competition held by the aristocratic families.

Compared to the Zhaoming Forging Competition held by the Empire, the Lanying Forging Competition held by aristocratic families offers much more generous rewards.

The top ten will not only receive financial support from the forging families, but will also be able to join the families and learn their unique magical artifact forging techniques.

As is well known, magical artifacts are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.

Most of the blueprints circulating in the market are forging blueprints for low-level magical artifacts.

The blueprints for intermediate and advanced magical artifacts are controlled by forging families.

Only prestigious universities like Imperial University of Tokyo can produce a portion of intermediate and advanced blueprints.

These mid-to-high-level blueprints could only be released with the approval of the aristocratic families.

Forging blueprints were monopolized by aristocratic families, and most of the excellent blacksmiths came from or were trained by these families. Naturally, they were closer to and more supportive of these families.

Over time, the power of the aristocratic families grew, even threatening the royal family. These two forging competitions were a contest between the royal family and the aristocratic families.

In comparison, the Lanying Forging Competition is more attractive to forging talents.

However, this competition not only has a limited number of participants, but also has higher requirements for the participants themselves.

Participants must have a mental talent of A or above, be under twenty years old, and, most importantly, have a letter of recommendation.

The first two things are easy to obtain, but getting a letter of recommendation is incredibly difficult.

Ordinary people simply don't have the connections.

Seeing Chu Yun's troubled expression, Gu Fenglin knew what was troubling her.

"Only 150 recommendation letters are issued each year, of which 100 are distributed among the top 20 high schools and universities in the empire, and the schools decide which ones to give to students with outstanding forging performance."

Chu Yun's expression darkened slightly. The planet Liujin, where she lived, did not value education. Everyone thought that having a mineral vein meant everything would be fine.

Therefore, there are no top-ranked high schools or universities on the entire planet of Meteorite, and the uneven development of education has left her unaware of this.

"As for the remaining fifty, they will be distributed to outstanding members of the family. I happen to have one here."

At this point, Chu Yun understood what Gu Fenglin meant.

"Senior, this letter of recommendation is invaluable."

"Chu Yun, don't rush to refuse, listen to me."

“Your current skill level is already good enough to forge advanced magical artifacts, but you are not a member of the Gu family, so I cannot teach you the Gu family’s magical artifact forging skills. It would only waste your talent in the long run.”

"As long as you can achieve a ranking in the competition and join the Gu family, I can openly and legitimately teach you how to forge advanced magical artifacts."

High-level magical artifacts are more tempting to blacksmiths than mountains of gold.

Any blacksmith who pursues power and loves forging magical artifacts cannot refuse.

Chu Yun was no exception.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

"Okay, since you believe in me, I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

The girl's eyes shone with a dazzling light that seemed to pierce through one's heart.

Gu Fenglin was pleased with himself and couldn't help but smile.

Pei Shaojin, on the other hand, was utterly exhausted.

He always thought that he lost control simply because of the toxins.

But in the days that followed, Chu Yun appeared in his dreams every day.

The scenes in the dream are varied.

Sometimes he and Chu Yun would train their physical fitness together.

Sometimes he and Chu Yun would meet in the Hengbai Mountains.

More often than not, their skin was intertwined, inseparable.

Pei Shaojin has always disliked anything slipping out of his control, so how could he tolerate Chu Yun repeatedly disturbing his mind?

In order to sever any unnecessary thoughts in his mind, Pei Shaojin led his personal guards to kill the insectoid Five Reptiles who had ambushed him that day.

After passing through the wormhole and entering the lair of the five reptiles, Pei Shaojin's frustration subsided somewhat after nearly annihilating them all.

Even after he had wiped out all five reptiles, he would still dream of Chu Yun.

Pei Shaojin stood in the five reptiles' hometown, gazing at the pitch-black sky, and Chu Yun's beautiful face gradually appeared in his mind.

Chu Yun, whom Pei Shaojin was concerned about, lived a simple yet fulfilling life.

She attends classes diligently every day, does physical training after class, visits Ke'ai and Han Cheng'an in her spare time, and studies magical artifact forging with Gu Fenglin at night.

Her schedule was packed full; like a sponge, she worked tirelessly to improve and enrich herself.

The strategy missions were completed smoothly.

Han Cheng'an is impatient and proud, like a big dog. As long as you go along with him and get along well with him, it's not difficult to win his love.

Therefore, Chu Yun was always understanding and gentle in front of him.

Gu Fenglin is an extremely self-centered person. Such people tend to like those who are like themselves, and if that person is someone they personally trained, they will definitely like them even more.

Therefore, Chu Yun always tried her best and worked hard in front of him, taking her studies very seriously.

Sure enough, she attracted Gu Fenglin's attention with her exceptional talent and unwavering will, and then pretended to have her ambitions aroused by him, successfully forming an alliance with him.

Gu Fenglin always thought that he had chosen Chu Yun and that he had guided Chu Yun to face her situation and ambition step by step, but he did not know that what he saw was only what Chu Yun wanted him to see.

At this point, both routes to winning over Han Cheng'an and Gu Fenglin have been successfully completed.

Only Pei Shaojin—Chu Yun hadn't yet found a way to win his heart.

Trying to get close to such an indifferent person will only annoy him, and avoiding him will only make him forget you quickly.

Therefore, Chu Yun was always looking for a balance, so that Pei Shaojin would not forget her easily, nor would he look down on her.

Fortunately, what happened in the Hengbai Mountains gave her an opportunity.

Chu Yun wanted to use the Hengbai Mountains and her punishment to stage a play.

Given what happened on the planet Liujin, I don't believe Pei Shaojin would remain indifferent.

So every day she would go to the 101 training room to take a look, and then come out of the training room with a dejected look on her face, as if she was sad because she couldn't see someone.

Chu Yun believed that someone would tell Pei Shaojin all of this, word for word.

During the physical fitness competition, she also had to perform opera, so how could there be no audience members?
