Chapter 214: Chapter 199 The Genius of Fandom_l

Translator: 549690339 |

Although his painting didn’t sell for much, Lin Yuan was not bothered by it.

Because he was sure of one thing.

Even if he couldn’t get another character card of Qi Baishi for now, he was likely to achieve a similar painting skill level in the future…

With a corresponding skill level, he could paint as many good paintings like “Six Shrimps” as he wanted.

Because he has the treasure chest.

The system had introduced this before.

The so-called skills are all graded.

Above the professional level, there are the master level and the perfect level.

The painting skill of Qi Baishi’s character card probably belongs to the master level, perhaps his shrimp painting skill is already close to perfect level?

The pity is.

Techniques above the master level can only be obtained from treasure chests of gold level or above, so far Lin Yuan has not gotten a gold treasure chest.

He only had one silver treasure chest left unopened.

“Can I purchase abilities?” After returning home, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but ask the system.

The system replied: “You can’t purchase them, abilities can only be obtained through treasure chests.”

Lin Yuan understood.

Just as he had guessed.

The saying “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” was so true.

Ability is the most precious!

Those works, while they can earn profits in the short term, in the long term, abilities are more practical.

“For instance, professional level painting or piano playing could be of use in my daily life…”

Lin Yuan once thought that with the custom work function, he wouldn’t rely on the treasure chests as much.

But now it looks like treasure chests still need to be strived for, only treasure chests have the hope of unlocking abilities.

With this thought, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards the remaining silver treasure chest in his system storage.

Would there be any ability inside it?

Forget it, it’s better to open it when I’m feeling lucky.

Lin Yuan curbed his curiosity.

It will be Saturday in three days.

Lin Yuan directly called Luo Wei to his studio. By now, Luo Wei had officially become Lin Yuan’s manga assistant.

“Teacher.”

Seeing Lin Yuan again, Luo Wei’s attitude had subtly shifted.

Regardless of her identity as a manga assistant or her level of traditional painting, it was not unreasonable to call Lin Yuan ‘Teacher’.

Lin Yuan never cared about the titles, after all, he had been called by various names by others.

Teacher, Master, GOAT, Representative, Junior…

These don’t matter.

Lin Yuan began to relay the work requirements to Luo Wei. The manga adaptation of “King of the Net” could officially start today.

“It’s ‘King of the Net’?!”

Luo Wei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: “It’s a manga adaptation of this novel, I like this novel. I’ve read a bit, did you get the authorization to adapt it, Teacher?”

“Got it.”

Lin Yuan had ceremoniously authorized himself in his mind.

Luo Wei had already adapted to her assistant role: “I will finish reading the novel later… Shall we set a framework? Do you have a design draft?”

“Just wait a moment.”

Lin Yuan started to paint right away.

The first step was to determine the style of the characters.

Lin Yuan drew a series of character images directly based on the original design.

They were all original images from “Prince of Tennis”, with a distinctive Japanese style.

However, there is no such thing as Japanese style in this world.

“This is Long Ma?”

The classic tennis hat, blue and white Youth Academy uniform, bangs covering the forehead, revealing a pair of bright eyes underneath.

Stylish and cool.

Then there were the character designs for important people like Zhouzhu…

Looking at the character designs created by Lin Yuan, Luo Wei’s eyes became increasingly surprised.

She knew naturally that Lin Yuan was good at sketching.

But being good at sketching and being able to create good sketches are two different things. She did not expect that the comic characters designed by Lin Yuan would also be so good

As someone who had read the original novel, Luo Wei was sure that these characters closely align with those described in the novel!

Even the die-hard fans of “Prince of Tennis” probably wouldn’t question these character designs too much.

“These are the characters that appear in the early stages.”

After half an hour, Lin Yuan temporarily stopped: “Do whatever you can to assist me.”

Luo Wei’s eyes sparkled.

She suddenly stared at Lin Yuan and said, “If I help you complete enough work, can you promise me that you will teach me to paint traditional Chinese painting in the future?”

Traditional Chinese painting?

Lin Yuan was taken aback. He certainly can’t teach Luo Wei right now because his real skill in traditional Chinese painting is about the same as Luo Wei’s.

But if he can draw a Master Level painting skill from the Gold Treasure Chest, he can indeed teach Luo Wei.

However, Lin Yuan could not guarantee this.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, the System suddenly appeared: (Congratulations to the host for triggering a new task. If the host can achieve painting fame of 300,000 within a year, the host will be rewarded with a Gold Treasure Chest containing Master Level painting skills!]

“Accepted!”

Lin Yuan became quite happy.

The System was not always about taking his money, sometimes it was quite considerate.

Like when he needed painting skills the most, the System issued such a task.

After accepting the task.

Lin Yuan turned to Luo Wei: “If you can provide me with enough help, I can teach you traditional Chinese painting.”

“Great!”

Luo Wei was overjoyed.

As a renowned member of the Art Club, Lin Yuan’s teaching ability had long since been talked up among students, so Luo Wei was curious to know if Lin Yuan’s teaching of traditional Chinese painting was really that amazing?

Yes.

With Luo Wei’s current level of painting, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to find a master painter to be her mentor.

But the problem is that while there are many who are skilled in painting, not everyone knows how to teach.

“Let’s get started then.”

Lin Yuan nodded, and formally started designing the storyboard. He wanted to handover the refinement to Luo Wei, to see how well she could do.

Luo Wei wasn’t idle either.

As Lin Yuan was designing the storyboard, she was copying the appearances of characters like Long Ma designed by Lin Yuan.

After copying for a while, she could fluently draw the character of Long Ma and others in Lin Yuan’s style.

“Not bad.”

After completing the storyboard, Lin Yuan looked at the characters Luo Wei had copied, which were almost indistinguishable from his own.

But this was what talented people were capable of, and this was also why Lin Yuan wanted Luo Wei as his assistant.

Normal assistants could only help Lin Yuan paint some simple backgrounds, but an assistant of Luo Wei’s level could truly help Lin Yuan draw comics!

In fact.

On the internet, there were quite a few talented artists who managed to perfectly capture the original characters in their fan art drawings, and these artists were usually big figures in the fan art world.

Some fan art authors could make their characters look almost identical to the original.

Luo Wei was such an assistant.

But what Lin Yuan didn’t know is that Luo Wei was actually a famous artist online, she had also made some fan art pieces and earned recognition from many original story fans…

All Lin Yuan knew was that he could now draw “Prince of Tennis” with Luo Wei as his assistant.

After all, the task of storyboard design was not very complicated for Lin Yuan.

He could totally be responsible for the drawing of the first volume by himself, then complete the storyboard for the second volume in advance and hand it over to Luo Wei to draw.

ps: Wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Today’s update is a bit late because of the festival, and there are more things to do. In addition, I have some sad news to share. Considering both the monthly tickets and the Alliance Hierarch added updates, I owe everyone 101 more updates. I will try my best to make it up by the end of December (I really want to round off the fraction, it’s not easy being a perfectionist)
