Chapter 7 The hand of the big touch, infuse the soul! (Thank you very much for the support of Shao Baisui's cute master!)
"It's all my fault, Mom, she keeps confiscating my things."
Xia Zilu suddenly complained in a low voice.
The corners of Li Xiufeng's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that you can throw the pot away beautifully.
But it’s understandable if you think about it.
Xia Zilu is now in her second year of high school. Although her studies are not as demanding as her third year of high school, she is in a key high school in the city, so naturally it is not easy.
As a parent, Aunt Liu Jiahui may not think that girls should be exposed to too many of these things, but more importantly, she may be worried that she will be distracted from her studies.
Of course, it is difficult to say this directly.
Ten soft girls and nine fools.
Xia Zilu, a soft girl, is obviously similar.
The task issued by the system asked me to enlighten her and help her get out of her ideological dilemma. Logically speaking, she had just solved the embarrassment with her aunt, but the task prompt never came out, and it was obviously more than that.
Li Xiufeng looked at the drawings that were carefully collected by Xia Zilu. He couldn't help but pick up a finished drawing of a bunny girl holding a carrot in her mouth, lowered his head and looked at it carefully.
Tsk tsk...
This carrot is so big.
No, this radish is really white.
After secretly sniffing for a while, he put down the drawing, and his face quickly returned to a dull look.
Xia Zilu seemed to be showing her work to others for the first time besides submitting articles, and she stared at Li Xiufeng nervously.
Seeing Li Xiufeng's "boring" look, a trace of frustration suddenly appeared on her face, and she lowered her head and whispered, "I knew it, but it still doesn't work."
"What's not working?" Li Xiufeng was stunned for a moment.
Xia Zilu hesitated for a moment and then told the whole story.
It turned out that her contact person at the magazine had tactfully told her after Xia Zilu's repeated "harassment" after she rejected the manuscript for the first time - what they needed was the kind of drawing that would make the blue kid's nose bleed at just one glance.
So this became Xia Zilu's unremitting goal.
Obviously, she failed.
Li Xiufeng was stunned!
Shouldn’t the setting of Blue Boy’s nosebleeds only exist in comics?
Seeing Xia Zilu sitting on the floor with her head dazed and stunned, Li Xiufeng, whose eyes were slightly twitching, couldn't help but wonder whether to punch himself in the nose...
In the end, he rejected this seemingly correct choice.
"Ahem..." Li Xiufeng coughed dryly.
Xia Zilu raised her head and looked at him with some confusion on her face.
"Do you want to know why your drawing was not accepted?" Li Xiufeng had a honeyed smile on his face, looking like the big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.
Although Xia Zilu was not worried about her grandma being eaten and she shrank from Li Xiufeng's laughter, she still couldn't help but tilted her head curiously, "Why?"
"Soul, your drawing lacks soul." Li Xiufeng's face seemed to suddenly cast a pious light.
soul?
Xia Zilu blinked in confusion, obviously not expecting the answer to be this.
She suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but said, "Cousin... do you also know how to draw?"
Li Xiufeng put his hands behind his back, walked seven steps in the room, walked to the window, and looked up at the bright moon outside the window.
"To be honest, I was young at the time and loved island country cartoons, especially... ahem, drawings. I also studied drawing in high school and I know a little bit about it."
Xia Zilu looked at Li Xiufeng's back and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Then...what does it mean to have a soul?" she asked doubtfully.
Dog system, come on!
Li Xiufeng thought silently in his mind with an expressionless face. After turning on the system, he looked at the system store interface and quickly pulled up to [Permanent Skills].
After discovering that the system was really an "artificial retard" with no emotions, Li Xiufeng now felt a little freer in what he called him in his mind.
With the help of humanized voice search, Li Xiufeng easily found the [Painting] skill and clicked on it.
【painting】
Rarity: Common.
Points: 200.
Skill introduction: A skill that allows you to copy nature manually on a two-dimensional plane.
Oh, it's quite artistic.
Considering that bunny girls should also be part of nature, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
"Skill learning requires 200 points. Does the host choose to learn?"
Li Xiufeng just got 360 points in the afternoon. After trying it out a few times and discovering that he had a "non-chief" physique, he gave it up and now has 260 points left.
The reward for completing this task is only 200, and learning skills also costs 200, which seems to be a waste of money.
However, considering the additional rewards for completing more than 60% of tasks and the physical punishment for failing to complete the task, it was the lesser of two evils, so Li Xiufeng naturally chose to study without hesitation.
There is nothing wrong with having multiple skills, not to mention that it can increase the admiration value of Xia Zilu, a silly cousin.
I have to say that systematic skill learning is very immediate.
As soon as Li Xiufeng confirmed his study, a strange feeling surged into his body, and a lot of non-existent information seemed to be stuffed into his mind.
"The host acquires the [Painting] skill."
"Total number of skill levels: three."
"Current level: First level (0/100)"
After a while, he turned around and looked at Xia Zilu's bunny girl again, and he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart: "Looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water."
Hi!
I have no interest at all!
Li Xiufeng knew that it was not that the drawings had deteriorated, but that as his own level improved, his "level" of appreciation also improved.
He touched his chin. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for Xia Zilu, a bunny girl, to be rejected.
Xia Zilu looked at Li Xiufeng who turned around and walked towards her. Her mind was slightly in a trance. She always felt that some kind of inexplicable change had happened to her cousin at that moment.
The next moment, she reacted.
This is a change in aura.
"Served by pen and ink."
"Eh?" Xia Zilu was stunned.
Li Xiufeng, who was confident in his heart, also felt relaxed and joked, "What? Don't you want me to show you your soul?"
Xia Zilu reacted immediately and quickly found her usual drawing board, paper and pen.
Li Xiufeng spread out a brand new comic manuscript paper on the drawing board, took the pen and started drawing without any hesitation without using a ruler to mark the lines.
When Xia Zilu saw Li Xiufeng's opening, she immediately came over curiously.
The most important thing in comic hand-drawing is the use of lines.
Clever use can make the outline of the character look more vivid, more distinct and three-dimensional, and even the folds on the clothes can be lifelike.
Li Xiufeng has the blessing of the system. Although he is not as good as those "big touches" in the comic hand-drawing world, he is more than enough compared to Xia Zilu, an amateur high school student.
What he painted was still the bunny girl just now, with a focused expression, and his strokes were sometimes firm and sometimes soft.
Xia Zilu on the side gradually became stunned, and her mouth quickly opened into an "O" shape.
The room was surprisingly quiet, except for the "shusha" sound like spring silkworms spinning silk when the pen tip rubbed against the manuscript paper.
After a while, Xia Zilu looked at the bunny girl Li Xiufeng had drawn, and her body started to tremble unconsciously.
"Is this...the soul?"
"No, this is the Holy Light."
...
On the drawing, a sexy bunny girl wearing a low-cut backless maid outfit holds a carrot in her left hand behind her waist. She leans forward slightly, puts her right hand to her mouth and blows a playful and cute blowing kiss with a wink. She actually looks...
A 3D-like three-dimensional feeling.
This level of painting is impossible without four or five years of experience.
But my cousin...
Not a professional player?
Looking at Li Xiufeng in front of her, Xia Zilu blinked in confusion, and a great sense of frustration suddenly welled up in her heart.
perhaps...
This is talent...
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
At this moment, Xia Zilu felt that she had suffered a critical hit from the Endless Blade!
Li Xiufeng, who was smiling and silent, looked at Xia Zilu and suddenly had some thoughts in his mind. He guided her in a persuasive way, "Actually, I rarely read other people's albums."
"Ah? Then... how did you do it?" Xia Zilu said confused.
At this time, Li Xiufeng seemed to have a hidden "super touch" in her eyes. She who was still sitting like a duck suddenly straightened her posture, with a look of piety on her little face.
Li Xiufeng cleared his throat with a dry cough?
"The soul, very simply, is the idea. You can't always blindly copy other people's works in those albums. What's more important is to have your own ideas."
"My own thoughts?" Xia Zilu blinked.
"Yes, let me ask you, do you know the basic proportions of the human body?"
"Do you know the three courts and five eyes, the direction of the muscles and contour lines?"
"Do you know the concept of light and dark and the concept of color?"
Li Xiufeng actually didn't know it at first, but since he acquired the [Painting] skill, these words came out of his mind unconsciously.
Xia Zilu is not an art student, she is just a little girl who secretly buys erotic albums and copies them secretly. How did she know this?
At this moment, she was dumbfounded when Li Xiufeng asked?
"Don't buy those picture albums from now on. It's a waste of money." Li Xiufeng said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Then...will you teach me?" Xia Zilu asked hurriedly from behind when she opened the door.
Li Xiufeng looked back and smiled.
"Two hundred and one person, including teaching and skills."
"ah?"
The girl opened her mouth in astonishment.
"Just make a joke to liven up the mood."
A smile appeared on Li Xiufeng's face, "But you have to wait until you finish your homework. Don't let your homework fall behind."
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room and closed the door.
Behind him, the girl's face was suddenly filled with hope!
...
Hi!
It’s so tiring to pretend!
After leaving the door, Li Xiufeng smashed his mouth and thought happily.
After successfully solving the ideological crisis of his cousin's "computer accessories", Li Xiufeng knew it was time to test the results, and couldn't help calling out affectionately in his mind.
Dog system, give me rough...
"Ding! Ordinary mission completed!"
"The host successfully enlightened the confused cousin and helped her get out of her ideological dilemma. The task completion rate is 95%. Success. The reward is 200 basic points and 70 additional points. The current total host points are 330."
Oh haha!
Li Xiufeng snapped his fingers.
This small profit was not a loss, and I also gained a [Painting] skill for free.
Mission accomplished, return to the room.
After Li Xiufeng lay down, he thought about it and took out his cell phone to call his aunt in his hometown county to ask about his sister's current situation.
...
Li Xiufeng's sister is Li Ranran, nicknamed Ran Ran, and she is her biological sister from her hometown.
In Li Xiufeng's impression, she was a dark, skinny little girl with braided braids. When she was a child, she would always follow him behind her with snot in her eyes, shouting "Guo Guo" and "Guo Guo".
Li Xiufeng's hometown is in the mountainous area of Sichuan, and the conditions at home are not very good. After his parents divorced and started separate families, Li Ranran was brought up by his grandmother. From junior high school, he went to the county town to study and live on campus, and his aunt in the county town helped take care of him.
When Li Xiufeng was still very naughty, Li Ranran and he were at opposite extremes. She had been very sensible since she was a child, helping her grandma with housework, boiling water and cooking, and she always secretly peeled off the orange peels after she liked oranges.
Save it and put it on the balcony to dry, and make tea for grandma who is coughing.
In the summer, she would go to the mountains to pick some fruits, secretly take them to the mountain trails and sell them to tourists entering the mountains. She saved the money to buy a massage pillow for her grandma.
Li Xiufeng liked to play basketball in high school. On his birthday as a freshman in high school, he received a pair of white sneakers from Li Ranran from his hometown. He opened the shoe box and found a navy blue card inside.
There is nothing written on it,
I just drew a big smiling face.
There is no way, children from poor families cannot say any pretentious blessings.
Didi didi——!
After a beep, the phone was connected.
unexpected,
What came from the other end was a little girl's voice.
Li Xiufeng heard it immediately and couldn't help but ask, "Ran Ran?"
"Ah! Guo Guo!" The voice on the other end of the phone was very surprised.
"..." Li Xiufeng's mouth twitched.
When Li Xiufeng went to college and left the mountains to study in Jianghai, Li Ranran's accent and name never changed.
It always made him feel like he was a bottle of Erguotou, and he screamed again and again.
Not caring about this, Li Xiufeng asked with a smile, "Why aren't you in school?"
"Today is Friday, our school is on holiday, and my aunt asked me to come over for dinner." The girl on the phone had a brisk voice, and she sounded very happy.
"Oh, I forgot about Friday. I sent the tuition fees for the next semester to my aunt, and I also have pocket money for you. Don't save it. I'm not short of money now. By the way, don't forget to buy something for grandma when you go back.
"
"I know Guo Guo."
The girl on the other end of the phone responded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Our school organized a winter camp, and I..."
"Go, you must go." Li Xiufeng said resolutely, "I will send money to my aunt later and ask her to sign up for your teacher."
Li Xiufeng was ignorant when he was a child, so he would beat Li Ranran whenever he cried, until he would beat him every time he saw this "pot guy".
Despite this, the little girl still sent him a gift when he was in high school.
Thinking about it carefully, he had never given any gifts to Li Ranran, and he felt a little guilty. Now he just wanted to make up for it within his own ability.
The winter camp organized by the school is said to "cultivate young people's good thinking patterns and behavioral habits, so that children understand the importance of team awareness and collective cooperation spirit" and so on...
There are quite a few gimmicks, but to put it bluntly, it’s just taking the kids out to play.
Playing requires money.
Li Xiufeng could make the difference himself, but he couldn't let Li Ranran make the difference.
"But I..." the little girl hesitated.
"It's nothing but, don't worry. I'm a professional, uh... I'm taking a break now. I'm making money anyway. Give your aunt the phone and I'll talk to her."
Perhaps because of the prestige established by "Iron Fist" when she was a child, the skinny little girl on the other end of the phone didn't dare to go against Li Xiufeng's words, so she had to go to the living room and ask her aunt to answer the phone.
Back in the room, Li Ranran tiptoed and took out the school's winter camp flyer from Mickey's small schoolbag on the bed, sat down in front of the desk and turned on the light.
Under the desk lamp.
A line of words on the front page of the leaflet jumps into view.
"XX Middle School Jianghai Winter Camp..."
The girl looked at each word carefully, with two shallow dimples appearing on her face.
