All-rounder Artist-Chapter 820 777: Overwhelming Generosity
```
When netizens saw this news, they were all shocked, especially those from Qin Continent who were absolutely dumbfounded!
"What!"
"Really keeping up with current events, huh? The Qin Continent's college entrance exam for reading comprehension actually used Chu Kuang's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower'?"
"This can't be happening!"
"How long has this poem even been out?"
"There must have been some issue with the original questions, so they changed the exam content, right? This poem is still very new to high school students, will they be able to do it?"
"This is too hard!"
"I can't even do it!"
"Hahahaha, the old rascal is getting more and more insane, now starting to torment high school students."
"This year's university students are going to hate Chu Kuang to death!"

"I feel sorry for my niece who is taking the college entrance exam; she's a huge fan of Chu Kuang's books!"
"When my kid came back, he was so mad he almost ripped up Chu Kuang's 'Detective Poirot'. Many of this batch of high school students in Qin Continent are fans of Chu Kuang. Young people just like this guy!"
"Hahahaha, the cost of being a fan of Chu Kuang is too high!"
...
Compared to the netizens' schadenfreude, the students from Qin Continent were furious!
"I swear I'll never share the sky with that old rascal!"
"Why the hell did the old rascal write such a difficult poem for no reason!"
"I had looked over this poem beforehand, but when it came to reading comprehension, I couldn't answer a single question!"
"Chu Kuang's reputation as an old rascal is well-deserved indeed!"
"Chu Kuang, come out here, I promise I won't kill you!"
"Chu Kuang, the old rascal, be a human being!"
"This totally screwed me over!"
"Why is Chu Kuang the old rascal harming us, the examinees of Qin Continent? Why doesn't he go and mess with the students from other continents!"
"This year's language exam was too difficult!"
"Chu Kuang's reach has expanded; he used to target only readers, and now it's all high school graduates!"
...
Parents were also torn between laughter and tears.
The students from Qin Continent, after finishing the language exam, actually banded together to curse the old rascal Chu Kuang. But from another perspective, it didn't seem like a big deal, because it wasn't just one person who found Chu Kuang's poem difficult—all the students did!
The outcome was the same.
It won't affect everyone's college admission.
Additionally.
This matter really couldn't be blamed on Chu Kuang.
Chu Kuang couldn't decide the college entrance exam questions; they were certainly determined by the people setting the papers. The one who should be scolded is the exam setter, and yet all the scolding has fallen on Chu Kuang!
There's nothing to be done about it.
Who asked this old rascal to have such an infamous track record.
Anything associated with Chu Kuang is bound to spell trouble.
Think about the previous 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange'; what a classic martial arts story it was, yet he had it drenched in blood!
Tormenting in all sorts of ways!
Besides.
It wasn't just the reading comprehension in Qin Continent that was difficult; the ones in other continents were also challenging, as Blue Star is paying more attention to flexible education for high school students, and language tests across all continents contained many topics related to current hot events.
...
Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded when he learned about this.
Indeed, he was unaware of Chu Kuang's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' being used as a college entrance exam question, and the Qin Continent's exam-setting team definitely wouldn't have given him early notice, because that would have been leaking the questions, wouldn't it?
As for the timing being too tight.
Lin Yuan felt that there must have been some adjustments made by the exam-setting team, as it normally wouldn't use such recent material. But even without such new content, most reading comprehension passages are likely to be ones the students haven't seen before.
Whether it was 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' or not didn't matter.
Even if it had been an article from a few years back, most students still wouldn't have read it. This was really about testing the students' ability to understand the text. The only reason this issue got so much flak from netizens was because it involved Chu Kuang.
But complaints aside.
Lin Yuan clearly noticed that his literary reputation had risen.
He wasn't sure if the reputation came from the students, or if 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' being a college entrance exam question had contributed, or perhaps both?
...
After noon.
The news came out.
There were reports everywhere about Qin Continent's college entrance exam using Chu Kuang's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' for the language reading comprehension section.
"The language exams across continents keep up with current events, with Qin Continent using a poem by Chu Kuang for reading comprehension."
"Qin Continent's students lash out: Chu Kuang, you old rascal!"
"Has Chu Kuang started wreaking havoc on high school students?"
"Qin Continent's inclusion of Chu Kuang's work in the college entrance exam may signify a reform in the exam."
"This year's most difficult questions in the language college entrance exam: Chu Kuang's work ranks in the top three."
```
"..."
The "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" trend was already popular online.
Stimulated by the Qin Continent's college entrance exams, even more poetry bigwigs couldn't resist and also started writing "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower"!
Although Chu Kuang was viciously cursed by the students,
in truth, countless people in the poetry circles were envious!
This was clearly a good thing, ah!
Ask anyone in the poetry circles who wouldn't want their work to become a college entrance exam question?
This meant that their work was recognized!
And officially recognized, at that!
The approval of those top-level exam paper setters!
The officials believed "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" was of sufficient literary value to be used like this!
"It might sound a bit shameless, but I really want to be cursed by the examinees!"
"If only they used my work for the reading comprehension section!"
"Now, Chu Kuang's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' has become universally recognized as a classic. If it weren't a classic, it wouldn't be chosen as an exam question."
"I heard that the reading comprehension section was originally using an article by Tu Gang."
"Didn't Tu Gang go to jail last month for committing a crime?"
"No wonder the reading comprehension section used Chu Kuang's freshly written article, Tu Gang's article definitely couldn't be used anymore, his was a last-minute conscription!"
"That luck is truly unbeatable."
...
The poetry circles were truly green with envy at Chu Kuang, but everyone understood.
As for why the college entrance exam didn't use Yi An's "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower", everyone also understood.
Although Yi An's "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" was not bad, whenever netizens mentioned Yi An's version, their minds were filled with "Why seek a companion in the ends of the earth?", always feeling it wasn't serious enough.
Speaking of which.
There was this impact, largely due to Chu Kuang adding the line "Why pine for a single flower?"
Originally, Yi An's lyric was quite serious.
And just as everyone was discussing this matter,
the Literature and Art Association suddenly issued an announcement that attracted countless attentions in the cultural circles!
"We are currently working on the recompilation of textbooks. The textbooks of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han, as well as those that will be integrated next year from Zhao Continent, will be unified, and in the future, Wei Continent and Zhong Continent..."
The notice was lengthy.
To summarize, the message was that they were going to change the textbooks for students and unify the education across all continents!
In an instant!
Countless people smelled something special!
Especially in connection with the recent Qin Continent college entrance exams.
The cultural circles were as frenzied as sharks smelling blood!
To know.
This wasn't the first time the Literature and Art Association had made adjustments and plans in education.
Originally.
The decision of the Literature and Art Association to promote fairy tale extra-curricular reading to students had a similar nature to this event.
And at this time.
Inside the Shadow Studio,
Lin Yuan had also received this news from Jin Mu.
Before he could express his opinion, Jin Mu, with a face full of joy, continued:
"Textbooks from elementary school to university will all be recompiled. This matter reveals very unusual signals. I feel that your 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' has a very good chance of being selected for the Chinese language textbooks. This time the college entrance exams choosing your 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' as a question is a sign, and in addition to that, some of your previous works may be selected for textbooks from elementary to university..."
Lin Yuan was slightly startled.
What Jin Mu said seemed quite likely.
In recent years, the Literature and Art Association had many huge initiatives, and all actions were preparations for the complete unification of Blue Star.
Previously, the continents were governed separately.
Students from different continents received various education and even their textbooks were somewhat distinct.
And these measures were obviously aimed at unifying the educational foundations of all continents.
Probably by the time they fully merge, the textbooks would undergo some revisions.
It seemed he was participating in a very special historical process of Blue Star; maybe in the future, the Literature and Art Association might introduce even more initiatives.
Right.
Wasn't "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" trending online recently?
Many netizens were shouting for Xian Yu to write a "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" too.
Initially, Lin Yuan had no interest.
But now, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that he couldn't refuse such an enthusiastic request!
