"Of course I do, I'm an artist."

Hearing Tian Xiaoyu's inquiry, Shi Hou said happily: "You guys will appreciate it. Come to my house and I will give you some new paintings! Those bastards always say that there is something wrong with my paintings. It's obvious that they don't understand art!"

"

Tian Xiaoyu smiled: "That's good, it's just a good time to appreciate art. I've always been very interested in art!"

…

In Shihou's teacher's dormitory, Tian Xiaoyu looked at the paintings in front of him with a strange expression.

"How is it? Is my painting good? Is it full of artistic flavor?"

Shi Hou said proudly. It is worth mentioning that he and Tian Xiaoyu were the only ones in the room at the moment, and Huang Sha had already left.

Tian Xiaoyu put down the painting and complained wildly: "Teacher Shi, these paintings of yours are indeed very beautiful. The question is, why are they all your self-portraits? How narcissistic are you?"

That's right, these paintings are all self-portraits of Shi Hou. Each one is a monkey, a monkey in different postures!

Shi Hou raised his head and said arrogantly: "What's the problem? I represent art!"

Tian Xiaoyu was speechless, and he said: "Teacher Shi, if you only draw yourself, you will never be recognized by others."

"Art is inherently lonely, so what if it is not recognized by others? Things that are popular are not considered art at all!"

Shi Hou snorted coldly, and Tian Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll his eyes. What bastard instilled this nonsense into Shi Hou? Although it does make some sense!

"Teacher Shi, I've finished admiring it and I'm leaving now!"

Tian Xiaoyu decided to leave. If he continued reading, he was afraid that he would become depressed!

"It seems that even you can't understand me!"

Shi Hou sighed and asked, "Do you know why I only draw myself?"

Tian Xiaoyu asked: "Why?"

"Because I want others to remember me. Whether it is this world or my original world, there is only one monkey like me!"

Shi Hou shook his head and said: "I don't want to be unknown after my death. I want people to know that there once existed a wise monkey in this world who was no different from humans and full of artistic flavor!

I have been painting just for this reason. Someone once said that good works can last forever and be famous throughout the ages. Thousands of years later, when everyone sees the monkey in the painting, they will naturally know that a stone monkey existed.

In fact, this is the reason why I desperately want to break through the Beast Emperor."

"Presence?"

Tian Xiaoyu scratched his head, why did this art monkey suddenly turn into a philosophy monkey? He thought for a while and said: "Teacher Shi, your painting style is very different from the popular ink painting now. Plus, you only paint yourself, so it's difficult."

If you become a master of painting, it is basically impossible for your paintings to be passed down if you are not a master!"

"I also know that the style is different, but I can't change it, and I can't understand the artistic conception at all!"

Shi Hou said helplessly that although it was as intelligent as a human being, it was just a monkey after all!

"Teacher Shi, if you want to be remembered, you don't have to be an art master. You can just as well be remembered as the founder of a sect!"

Tian Xiaoyu said with a smile: "For example, Mozi, Confucianism, Taoist ancestors, and Buddha will all be remembered forever!"

"You want me to create a sect? Who would worship a monkey as their teacher? Besides, even if I build a sect, no one will remember me when the sect dies in the future!"

Shi Hou shook his head and said: "Of the ten famous sects hundreds of years ago, how many are left now?"

"No, I'm not talking about a sect, but an industry. This is different!"

Tian Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Teacher Shi, have you ever heard of comics?"

Shi Hou was puzzled: "What is a comic? I've never heard of this word!"

"This is comics!"

Tian Xiaoyu picked up the brush and started drawing quickly on the paper. Shi Hou was watching from the side. He touched his chin and complained: "With your painting skills, do you dare to pick up a brush to draw?"

"If you're not good with the pen, I'll show you what it means to be a god of painting!"

Tian Xiaoyu rolled his eyes. He had learned a little painting in his previous life, but the problem was that he had never learned to paint with a brush!

Soon, Tian Xiaoyu finished the painting. He put down his brush and said to Shi Hou: "Teacher Shi, take a look!"

Shi Hou picked up Tian Xiaoyu's paintings and looked at them. He found that Tian Xiaoyu's paintings were very special. Each painting was divided into four grids, and each grid was a painting, with text notes next to it!

In addition, these paintings are connected, and together they tell a story, a story about a little tadpole looking for its mother!

"The story is quite interesting. This should be a comic book, right?"

Shi Hou asked, there are already comic books in this world, but they are very crude and not popular, just a few simple comic strips!

“Comics are an upgraded version of comic books!”

Tian Xiaoyu said: "The paintings in comics are very gorgeous, and the stories are longer. To put it simply, the novel is expressed in the form of paintings. For example, the Journey to the West I mentioned before, if you draw it, it becomes a comic.

!”

"That's it!"

Shi Hou nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment, he asked: "Can this comic make me famous forever and be remembered forever?"

"Yes, classic comics can be passed down for thousands of years!"

Tian Xiaoyu nodded very seriously, and then said: "And you are also the father of comics, the first person to draw comics, the founder of comics, a being like Mozi, as long as there are comics in the future, everyone will remember you!

"

"Father of comics?"

Shi Hou found himself a little excited. The founder of an industry seemed to be remembered forever!

"If the comics industry really develops, it has great potential. Like novels, it will continue to be passed down."

Tian Xiaoyu said: "I just don't know if the current printing technology can support comics. However, black and white comics should be able to support it. As long as you have money, the circulation will not be too big anyway."

"The printing technology should be fine, and we can print New Year pictures in a few hundred years!"

Shi Hou's eyes shone brightly and Xiaoyu Asada asked: "Boy, is your plan really feasible?"

"Is it okay? You'll know if you try it?"

Tian Xiaoyu laughed and said: "We will publish it in Wuyuan first. If it is successful, we will print it on a large scale. However, as the first issue of the comic, it must be very good-looking, so that it can get off to a good start!"

"The first issue of the comic uses your Journey to the West. Judging from the previous reactions, everyone likes it very much!"

Shi Hou said: "You are responsible for telling the plot, and I will be responsible for drawing. Let's see if this comic works or not!"

Thinking of something, Shi Hou said hopefully: "If it really works, I, Shi Hou, will be famous throughout the ages, and even if I die, someone will remember me!"

"Is it famous forever?"

Tian Xiaoyu blinked and couldn't help but think of a question in his mind: "If I die, how many people will remember me?"

"My family will definitely do it. The biggest difference between me and Shi Hou is that I have a family and he doesn't. To me, it's not important to be famous throughout the ages. What's important is to protect my home!"

Tian Xiaoyu knew it well, and he said: "Okay, let's draw comics together and create a new industry so that everyone will remember us!"

"Yes, let everyone remember us!"

Shi Hou shouted excitedly. Tian Xiaoyu looked at him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With this friendship, when Shi Hou knows the truth, he shouldn't beat him to death again, right?

The main purpose of creating comics is to save Tian Xiaoyu's life. That ancestor is really no ordinary trap. I don't know how many scapegoats he will take in the future!

In addition, Tian Xiaoyu finds it very interesting to be able to bring things from the past life to this world. Unfortunately, the technology in this world is not enough, otherwise even movie animations can be produced.

"How about I change my profession and become a formation mage? The formations in this world are very high-tech. They even have virtual screens. With the help of chips, it doesn't seem impossible to make a movie!"

Tian Xiaoyu thought excitedly: "At that time, I will be the father of movies. I can dive, ahem, and communicate well with those female stars!"

This idea was a good one, but after just a moment, Tian Xiaoyu gave up the idea. Although the father of movies is good, his goal in this life is to become a professional hero, the most powerful and famous professional hero!

Tian Xiaoyu laughed: "When you come to a world with martial arts, how can you not be a hero? Although the director is good, being a hero is my dream!"

…

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. In the training room, Shi Hou scratched his head and asked all the students: "How is it? How is it? Does it look good?"

Huang Sha on the side opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still held back. Forget it, he is the king of beasts after all, and it doesn't matter if he takes up a little time. Give him some face!

Lu Tiequan looked through the thin comics in his hand and asked in surprise: "Teacher Shi, what are these? They are all paintings, very strange!"

"This is called a comic. Xiaoyu and I made it. Do you think it looks good?"

Shi Hou asked, and Lu Tiequan said: "You and Xiaoyu made it? You guys are really free, but this comic is quite interesting, much more vivid than the novel!"

"This is too straightforward without words, and the style of painting is too weird. Also, the painting is a bit rough!"

Chen Xuewen from the School of Liberal Arts shook his head. He preferred reading to reading comics. Texts have room for imagination, but comics do not!

"This is temporary. Let's show it to you first to see the reaction. We will package it when it is officially released!"

Tian Xiaoyu said, half a month is too late. There are too many things to do in conception, drawing, and printing, so we can only make a rough version first!

By the way, this comic is in black and white. Coloring it takes too much time and requires very high technical skills, so it’s not that easy to do.

"This is the Journey to the West you talked about some time ago, Xiaoyu, right? No wonder I didn't mention it before. It turned out to be a comic."

Hanshuang turned over the page and said: "It's quite interesting. The Great Sage is really powerful. Moreover, these gods are also vivid, and the Heavenly Palace is even more beautiful. Xiaoyu, who painted it? Is it a good level?"
