Treasure Chest, even though the task might take years to complete, Lin Yuan still longed for it immensely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Lin Yuan taught three apprentices daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full of motivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And time unknowingly reached June.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internet suddenly became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the results of the once-a-year Galaxy Awards were about to be announced tonight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from other continents didn’t care much about the Galaxy Awards, but for those from the Wei Continent, it was of great importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just look at the book sales ranking of Wei Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the book market of the entire Wei Continent, seven or eight out of ten best-selling novels were of the sci-fi genre!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many here have been reading science fiction since they were young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technology worship has always been the main tone of Wei Continent’s culture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Galaxy Awards, which other continents don’t care about, had already captivated countless hearts from Wei even before they started!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder which big names will win the awards this year!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I at Huylan Dabo, his ‘Heart of Machinery’ written last December was amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Zhang Yi’s book is not bad either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is not easy to guess, we have too many big names in Wei Continent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just our Wei Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhong Continent also has works that are being judged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From last year to this year, indeed, a considerable number of high-quality sci-fi works have emerged in Zhong Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think states like Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao will have winning works?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Except for Zhong and Wei Continents, there are not many authors from other states who have won the Galaxy Awards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Continent did produce an award winner the year before last.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This year, there is an author from Qin Continent named Chu Kuang who has written two short sci-fi stories, and I feel they are quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What good sci-fi could come out of Qin Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to say more, it will definitely be another sci-fi battle between our Wei Continent and Zhong Continent this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Continent was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, the Galaxy Awards are a contest between Zhong Continent and Wei Continent for awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Works from the other states occasionally appear, but the overall probability is very low, with only one work from other states breaking through every few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time, the science fiction works of other states only get nominations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Galaxy Award has less than eight categories, but there are dozens of nominations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For any award, nomination and winning are two completely different concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other continents’ lack of interest in the Galaxy Awards is not because the award isn’t important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason is:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other continents simply don’t have many authors qualified to compete for an award of the Galaxy Awards’ caliber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In most cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Science fiction authors of the states only pay attention to the sci-fi awards within their own continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not as prestigious as the Galaxy Awards, at least they’re eligible to participate, even if it’s just for self-entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of many insignificant awards is to provide some self-amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Non-standardized judging and non-transparent rules are the norms, so ridiculous jokes that cause contempt are normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The awards hosted by the continents ultimately have some integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than self-entertainment, the fundamental reason for each continent to insist on establishing sci-fi novel awards is to hope to stimulate the creativity of local sci-fi authors by increasing competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition among continents on Blue Star is fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Literature and Art Association is conscious about intensifying the rat race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every continent does not want to fall too far behind the others in certain fields, and will ultimately try to catch up desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing teaching his three apprentices, Lin Yuan also received a call from Jin Mu: “A few days ago, Wei Continent extended an invitation, hoping that you could attend the award ceremony, but I declined it on your behalf. The head of the Science Fiction Department from Silver Blue Books will go instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something from a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Mu only mentioned it today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t due to Jin Mu’s negligence, but because Lin Yuan simply could not, as Chu Kuang, attend any award ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For any event that required Chu Kuang to show his face, Jin Mu always declined directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The award ceremony is tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Mu said with a smile, “If you’re interested, you can tune into Wei Continent First Television at 7:30 tonight to watch the live broadcast. I feel like we have a chance of winning an award.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wei Continent First Television?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, don’t underestimate the influence of the Galaxy Awards. Every year, Wei Continent broadcasts the ceremony during the prime viewing slot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a major science fiction award, and Lin Yuan couldn’t say he didn’t care about it—that would be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even putting aside the honor of the award, he also had to consider the prestige it would bring to the System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7:30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Yuan finished his dinner and was about to head upstairs to check on the results of the Galaxy Awards, his sister Lin Xuan suddenly took a seat on the sofa: “Let’s watch Wei Continent First Television tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Yuan, who was planning to go upstairs, paused his steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Antarctica jumped onto the sofa, claiming a good spot in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom wasn’t happy: “I still want to catch up on my TV dramas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan said, “Wei Continent First Television is broadcasting the Galaxy Awards ceremony live tonight, and our company has submitted a work for competition, which might just win an award.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me a break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom said, “Do you think I don’t know what our Qin Continent’s science fiction is like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger sister nodded on the side: “It would be good enough just to get a nomination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from Qin Continent have too much awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mom knows that Qin Continent’s science fiction isn’t up to par.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Yuan: “The work that’s entered for the competition was written by Chu Kuang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s watch it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom suddenly perked up, “Chu Kuang is Lin Yuan’s friend. Lin Yuan’s friends definitely have a chance to win awards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister sat down in front of the sofa without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan simply sat down next to Antarctica, stroking the dog’s fur while watching the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The TV turned on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The award ceremony began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the announcement of a few awards, Mom was dozing off as she didn’t read science fiction: “What’s the name of Lin Yuan’s friend’s book?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Martian Rescue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan dutifully reported the title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister said: “It seems that there has been no mention of this work yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another award was about to be presented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This award was called [Best Mid-Length Science Fiction Award].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host read out four nominated works, among which “The Martian Rescue” was prominently included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s coming, it’s coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve already got a nomination!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will it win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woof!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole family was staring at the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host on stage glanced at the results in hand and revealed a surprised smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The work winning this year’s Galaxy Award for Best Mid-Length Science Fiction is ‘The Martian Rescue’ by Chu Kuang, a writer from Qin Continent. Congratulations to Chu Kuang for becoming the fourth writer in the history of Qin Continent to be honored with a Galaxy Award, and it’s been five years since someone from Qin Continent last won the prize!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole family burst into cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Kuang was Lin Yuan’s good friend, and for the family, Chu Kuang’s victory was just like Lin Yuan’s victory, and it was worth celebrating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, it was indeed Lin Yuan who actually won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ulala!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Antarctica jumped three feet high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan immediately gave him a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You little Antarctica!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this an attempt to snitch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dog seems to know a little too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whimper, whimper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Antarctica immediately deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Writer’s block is getting better, the cooldown for the typing master is almost over, wait for Polluted White to have a small but mighty rise tomorrow!\u003C\u002Fp>",1394,"2026-06-05T16:38:54.364Z",1,"novelbin.me","5fed42d9f36820f577adacb34f7c096fd42e8eb3ba63840d560077af76ba5367","all-rounder-artist-chapter-1298","all-rounder-artist-chapter-1296",1668,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-rounder-artist-cover.jpg"]
