Alien world

Chapter 1228 Chapter 150. New Invention

The name Annan of Tom and Jerry is the same as the original book. After all, they can't be called Lily and Jerry - Lily is the king of cats in Liberty City. If the cats knew that their leader was a cat that couldn't even catch a mouse, how much psychological damage would it cause?

Jerry happens to be the name of Maria's younger brother.

"How is our brother Jerry doing recently?" Annan asked indirectly.

Maria has become immune to Annan's occasional intimate words: "I don't know, either he died somewhere, or was eaten by that gray-haired rat, or was caught for breeding..."

"You don't even say anything nice." Annan complained.

"This is the fate of rat people. Most of them don't live past the age of three."

Annan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you willing to let your brother come to Liberty City?"

"I'm afraid it won't."

"why?"

Maria said poetically: "There is a kind of bird that cannot be caged, and each of its wings is filled with the glory of freedom."

"You mean it doesn't want to leave the rat's nest?"

"Yes."

Annan felt sorry, after all, Jerry was a champion rat. If he was brought here, Liberty City would have its own rat army.

In the end, Annan did not change Jerry's name, as a favor to Maria - she didn't care about her brother as much as she seemed, but as a Stuhn mouse, she did abandon most of the useless emotions.

Although "Jerry" in the Rat Man is worth at least 10 million if not 100 million... and no one would associate a lively and cute mouse with a murderous champion mouse.

In addition, Annan also wrote Maria and Gail's names in the consultant column of "Tom and Jerry".

With this identity, the Stuhn ratmen will have to think twice before they want to touch them again.

New World Pictures, room on the second floor.

Annan, Yoram Gwizti, the Sketcher and two Rat consultants gathered to discuss the plot of Tom and Jerry.

At first Annan was worried that Yoram Gvezdi would not be able to accept it - but artists seem to be very receptive.

The old musician jumped up and down with excitement like a child, exclaiming, "It's simply art!"

The plot of Tom and Jerry is very simple, that is, there is no plot: every episode is about Tom trying to catch Jerry for various reasons, and Tom fails after all the ridiculous struggles. Even if there are a few episodes where the two sides reconcile or cooperate, the fight will continue in the new episode.

This was the fastest Annan had ever written a script, but there was still a problem...how to distribute it.

Let people sit in the theater and watch "Tom and Jerry" for two hours? It's not impossible, but animations that last more than ten minutes per episode are obviously not suitable for theaters.

Annan handed Maria only a few pages of the script, which was enough for them to draw ten episodes.

"I'll come up with a solution, and you guys should cooperate to shoot the animation first."

Watching the artist bringing the familiar image to life on paper, Annan quietly walked out of New World Pictures.

Way... He did have one.

It is to change the projection into a small projection of fixed size, reduce the cost of the Philosopher's Stone, and increase the number of times the Philosopher's Stone can be used...but doesn't this become a dish of vinegar dumplings?
But it will be done sooner or later, so why not give it a try first?
Annan came to the mushroom house again.

Standing in front of the two and a half mushroom houses side by side, Annan felt inexplicably guilty and hesitated for a long time before going in.

Arriving outside Michael's alchemy room, Michael, who had been informed by his apprentice in advance that Annan was coming, stood in front of the alchemy table with his back to the door, and sighed without looking back: "Give me ten minutes."

"No rush, no rush..."

Annan, the lord of Liberty City, champion warlock, and beloved overlord, said with a wry smile.

About eight minutes later, the alchemy table exploded with a purple smoke. "Failed again..."

Michael shook his head, dumped the waste into a waste bucket nearby, and turned back to look at Annan: "What do you want me to do?"

Annan said what he had sorted out: "I want a low-cost magic stone that can be used permanently."

"Annan..." Michael let out a long sigh.

"what?"

"Why don't you go to the Temple of the Gods if you want to make a wish?"

"Don't worry, I think it's possible..." Annan said quickly: "First of all, it has to be used permanently. It doesn't have to be permanent. We can make it automatically recover energy by engraving runes on the magic stone..."

"The alchemy manual says that the Philosopher's Stone is a stable, hard-to-change infrastructure."

"Then we will use a magic base to restore its energy."

"The Alchemy Manual also said that the stability of the Philosopher's Stone is internally self-consistent, and any magic from the outside world may destroy its stability."

This world is so cruel to illiterate people!
Fortunately, Annan was the lord, so he just made a request: "Then there is no need for the Philosopher's Stone! All we need is a 'magic prop' that can reflect images, right? It can be anything, magic wood, magic iron, magic Martin——"

"I only have one request, which is to be able to project magical images and to recover energy repeatedly."

“Those are two requirements.”

"Uh……"

Michael thought for a moment, "I can try... I'll write a list and send the materials over."

"Okay, I'll send you a hundred sets first!"

Seeing that the distribution medium for "Tom and Jerry" had been found and that he had discovered a new way to make money, Annan's excitement was visible to the naked eye.

Especially since ten episodes of Tom and Jerry were completed in just three days.

It took the drawing board man one hour to finish drawing Tom and Jerry, and the remaining seventy-one hours were spent by Yoram Gvezdi, who commissioned a wizard to cast an invigoration spell on himself and stayed up for three days to finish the soundtrack.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

Annan was so moved that he even wanted to return the 350 kinaars: "Hurry up and send Mr. Yoram Gvezti back to his room to rest."

After sending the musician away, Annan stood up, pulled the curtains, took the magic stone from Maria's hand, and chose to activate it.

【Thump, th ...

The moment the familiar orchestral music sounded, Annan's mind went blank.

He sat in front of the animation, watching Tom and Jerry episode after episode until the projection disappeared.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Annan took a deep breath and shook his head, "Nothing, it's just... it's like I remembered something from my childhood. You did a great job."

Annan stood up and put away the Philosopher's Stone.

Before handing "Tom and Jerry" to the Rat Elder, Annan wanted to invite a group of special audiences to watch the premiere.

……

Later that day, the children from the orphanage came to the theater, led by the nuns.

The children looked around, but Cathy, who was sitting next to Annan, was very obedient. She just kept putting her little hand against Annan's to compare the size.
As the lights dimmed, the children's voices gradually became quieter.
