Lisa turned down Taehyung's suggestion to send her back personally. She stood there at the intersection holding her phone. She walked in circles for quite a while with a wild look in her eyes as if she was deep in thought about something.

That went on until the ex-residents of this area recognized who she was. The moment that happened, they gasped out of surprise. Lisa regained her senses upon hearing that. She then directed smiles at these people.

"Grandpa Wang, Uncle Wang, Auntie Li, nice to see you all here."

"Miss Lalisa, my son's sitting for his finals next year, can you give him a word of encouragement or something?" Aunt Li looked at Lisa with eyes full of anticipation. She was aware that Lisa was the national top scholar and thought that her luck in academics might rub off on her son.

"Oh, of course." Lisa fumbled around her pocket before producing a pen and a piece of paper. She then started writing down with swift and artistic strokes--"As nature's movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive along. The earth in its devotion carries all things, good and evil, without exception. In the same way, the superior man gives to his breadth of character, purity, and sustaining power, so that he is able both to support and to bear with people and things."

Such powerful words, like that of a gentleman's. Such swift and nimble brushwork, like a dancing dragon in the sky.

In no way did this writing seem like something that would be produced by a woman's hand, and by a girl of such a tender age at that.

The strength in a woman's wrist was typically less than that of a man's, hence why their brushwork was more showy. However, the words on this piece of paper did not reflect who the author was.

"These words, they're really beautiful aren't they?" said Aunt Li the moment she received the piece of paper. She was surprised by how beautiful Lisa's text was. "It's much prettier than what my boy at home can do."

Grandpa Wang, who was standing next to her, took it out of her hands and read it. In a split second, a bright glow appeared in her eyes. "It's been so many years since I last saw calligraphy of this caliber! To be able to craft such beautiful words at such a young age, how terrifying this new generation has become!"

Grandpa Wang's praises for Lisa sounded identical to the voice of an angel for Aunt Li. "No, don't you underestimate Miss Lalisa right here. We're just a bunch of ordinary folks, you and I. The next time we bump into Miss Lalisa, she'd no doubt already have become a celebrity or somethin'. Your grandchild is miles below where this young lady is today."

Grandpa Wang nodded in agreement while he raised the paper up in the air to examine it further. He was a researcher in calligraphy after all. There has been a recent resurgence of interest in calligraphy but upon closer inspection at calligraphy exhibitions, much of the artwork on display was too pompous and over-the-top. How could these youngsters compare to the ancient scholars and the contents that they had left behind?

By merely glancing at it, Grandpa Wang knew instantly that Lisa was not your average calligrapher.

"..."

Uncle Wang, who was standing on the other side thought to himself, 'Don't you forget that the ones who you two said are miles below Miss Lalisa are your own son and grandson!'

Lisa continued marching forwards after that. Almost simultaneously, a familiar cold robotic voice rang out in her mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have reached the Grandmaster Level in calligraphy! The system rewards you: 1000 points!]

Finally, a level up.

The small tasks which Lisa had completed over the course of the past couple of days had added up to over a thousand points. That, and the chain mission which the system had rolled out previously should round out to around ten thousand points. With her achievement now, there should be enough points for the system to upgrade itself.
