Almighty painter

Chapter 199 Inspiration
Gu Weijing tried to use the blessing candle of the muse, and chose the calligraphy and painting identification technique.

As expected,
Sure enough, a message prompting that it could be upgraded immediately popped up on the virtual panel.

"Would you like to activate the small candle of the Muse, and improve the quality of calligraphy and painting identification from excellent to famous? [Remarks: the current option, the skill lasts for (336) seconds]"

Gu Weijing now understands that the skills of the system are divided into six levels from low to high, entry, common, excellent, famous, perfect and legendary.

Upgrade the quality of Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal from Excellent to Famous, and it can be used for 336 seconds.

The duration is less than the 551 seconds that can last for upgrading the oil painting of the second professional level to the third professional level, but it is much longer than the short and weak 2.3 seconds of Menzel's painting basic experience of the perfect level.

The time of about 5 minutes is already within the scope of practical use.

"I don't know what kind of effect the master-level identification technique has. Is there enough time to complete an identification?"

Thinking about it carefully, Gu Weijing happened to have never acquired master-level skills.

According to the effect of his current Menzel and Huadaohua skills, he actually has a rough judgment on the preciousness of skills of this quality level.

If it is a field directly related to painting,
Legendary painting skills belong to super fierce men who can be recorded in art history.

You should easily have a place on the top of the pyramid of this kind of painting in the world.

At least Gu Weijing was a little shocked by the final painting effect of the legendary knife painting.

After acquiring the skills, he also inquired about the works of some famous painters on the Internet.

Even Professor Boggs, who is known as the No.1 knife painting in the world, seems to have almost interesting effects, and it is hard to say whether he is legendary or not.

The effect of the perfect level is slightly worse.

Roughly at the top level among master painters.

The skill of painting is approximately equal to the limit of lv.9 that ordinary people can achieve with their brushes through hard work throughout their lives.

Usually, there may only be a few people with this level in a strong art country.

As for countries and regions that are relatively marginal on the art map.

don't say lv.9,

An owner who can reach master-level skills may not even be able to make it out.

The pen level of this level of skill can be said to be flawless, as perfect as its name.

If you switch to a Japanese-style plot,

Usually, those who have this level of skills must be strong uncles who live in seclusion in the mountains and have vicissitudes of life on their faces. Before writing, they will burst into clothes and shout some heroic words, accompanied by glittering special effects.

The specific style of painting should probably be—"Hey boy, look out! This is the dividing line between the so-called human and god skills, and above that, it belongs to the realm of heaven and man that only one in a million talented people can occasionally touch! !! Let you see...what is the ultimate in the world!"

The protagonist needs to find the right time to accept his head and worship. The next page is to cut to a few years later when the protagonist has achieved success in his studies. When painting the title of saint, he regretted losing because the octopus balls he ate before the game were poisoned.

After waiting for the strong uncle to hold the protagonist's hand and say "You are no longer under me now, I will take back what I lost for the master" and similar flags, he took the lunch box logically, and the protagonist buried the master , you can go down the mountain humming a song with a small burden on your back to start a new storyline.

Gu Weijing made the judgment based on the duration of the small candle of the former two and the muse.

Excellent-level skills and master-level skills,
If it is pure painting skills, the final painting effect should be stuck at the two levels of the best professional painters and entry-level master artists.

think so,
Using the muse's small candle to raise the calligraphy and painting identification technique to the master level is actually quite profitable.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Weijing needs to use the Calligraphy and Painting Appraisal Technique a thousand times, spending 50 free experience points each time, for a total of [-] experience points, to upgrade.

According to the exchange rate conversion on the exchange panel, Gu Weijing needs to donate at least 50 US dollars.

And it only needs [-] experience points to upgrade the oil painting to the first level.Upgrading two levels in a row, filling up the experience slots from the second level of the profession to the first level of the master, only needs [-] experience points in total.

Upgrading costs five times the difference in experience points, and using candles only reduces the burning time by two-fifths, and the price/performance ratio is very explosive.

"Can famous calligraphy and painting identification techniques identify books?"

With this doubt, Gu Weijing fiddled with the virtual panel for a while.

He found that the three characters in the sentence "Raise the quality of calligraphy and painting appraisal from excellent to famous" are light blue, which is different from the font of other words.

Gu Weijing tried to click.

The system immediately popped up a concise prompt thoughtfully.

[Painting and Calligraphy Appraisal Technique (Famous Level): After use, it will build a link of inspiration and communication between you and the creator of the work.It is not limited to paintings, but it cannot be directly used in unfamiliar knowledge books.It only comes into play after you have already developed a strong understanding and awareness of the work and are very familiar with the text. 】

[Remarks: Use the calligraphy and painting identification technique improved by the blessed candle.This use does not consume any free experience points, nor is it counted into the total number of uses.

Simultaneously,

The effect after the temporary promotion is slightly different from the real calligraphy and painting identification technique (famous master level), and some special effects such as "triggering limited tasks" are castrated or restricted. 】

"It will only work after you have established a strong understanding and understanding of the work and are very familiar with the text. That is to say, I must have read the book beforehand?"

Gu Weijing read the instructions on the system panel. He was happy that it was usable, but he felt a little bit regretful: "It's a pity...it's quite reasonable when you think about it. If any unfamiliar book can be used after identification It is too abnormal to achieve the effect of direct empowerment like a knowledge card."

If it can be used directly on unfamiliar texts.

Then wait for this skill to accumulate a thousand times in the future, after the real upgrade can be used at will.

Gu Weijing prepares to input programs into his brain like Neo in "The Matrix", throwing this skill in various textbooks whenever he has time every day.

Daydream.

Other students are still studying various painting skills tutorials there.

Here he said "Shua!", threw away his skills, and learned all the content in a textbook he hadn't read.

How cool that would be!

He learns painting in the morning, the theory of relativity in the afternoon, and learns to fly a helicopter during his lunch break. It is estimated that in a few months, he will be able to happily fight aliens.

"I don't know. Is my understanding of "The Little Prince" considered a strong familiarity in the eyes of the system?"

Gu Weijing was not sure yet, he was already preparing the canvas and paints.

"The Little Prince" is one of his most familiar works.

Even without the help of Mr. Sloth, in order to draw a good picture, Gu Weiguo has turned it over and over many times in the past month or so.

If there is any book that Gu Weijing thinks he knows the plot thoroughly, "The Little Prince" can definitely be regarded as one of them.

With this known information,

He felt that he could take a gamble.

The total skill can only last for five and a half minutes.

In order not to waste, Gu Weijing took the lead in preparing all the canvas easels, and put the internal trial white paper of "The Little Prince" on the desk.

Then he chose the calligraphy and painting identification technique, and lit the blessing candle.

On the virtual panel, a dancing candle mark began to appear above the small candle that was only an inch long, and the Arabic numerals above the flame gradually decreased in the form of a countdown.

[336], [335], [334]...

"Buzz!"

In the beginning,

After activating the skill, Gu Weijing didn't notice any big changes.

He just felt that he suddenly heard a soft buzzing in his ears, like flicking a tight cotton thread with his fingertips.

Gu Weijing subconsciously turned his head.

as far as the eye can see,
It was found that it was a colorful scarab the size of a thumb knuckle on a palm, and it was gently hitting the window.

The translucent wings fluttered rapidly, and under the smudged light of the bedroom, the insect's hard brown horny shell revealed a beautiful gradient like molten gold.

Scarabs pursue the biological instinct of tracing light from ancient genes.

It rushed towards his bedroom again and again, time and time again in vain being blocked by the criss-crossing fiberglass threads on the screen window.

again and again,
It's like the lonely knight charging against the windmill in Cervantes' work, or the night elf flying among the grass in midsummer night.

Gu Weijing's heart skipped a beat.

"When Joshua Reynolds, the greatest academic painter in the British Isles in the [-]th century, painted the famous painting "Puck", did he happen to see a scarab flying by the window? ( Note)"

he muttered to himself.

(Note: "Puck" is the name of the elf who collects potions in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". An oil painting painted by the elves. The picture is heavily used in hazy green-gold paint, and it is the most outstanding representative work of Reynolds' career.)
"What an exceptionally beautiful and lovely little fellow."

Gu Weijing blinked his eyes, and this thought flashed through his mind.

Wait a moment,
He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Hey, honestly, what's so cute about scarabs?
This is the most common pest in Southeast Asia.

There are a large number of flying insects in Myanmar. These insects will not only reduce the production of crops and wheat fruit trees, but also cause allergies to the powdery scales on the elytra.

More importantly,
They are also very noisy when sleeping at night.

Sometimes when I get up and open the curtains in the morning, I can find three or four live, dead, half-dead scarabs and other flying insects in the sliding rails of the window.

Gu Weijing is not a compassionate eminent monk who sweeps the floor to fear the lives of ants, but cherishes the gauze lanterns of moths.

I have never felt that they are worth getting close to before.

He just shook his head, and cleaned up all these gadgets with toilet paper in disgust, wishing he could spray insecticide on the windows to relieve his anger.

strange!
If it weren't for the coincidence that the little bug in front of him was particularly in line with his aesthetics.

So……

The answer is already obvious.

It was Gu Weijing himself who became more sensitive and sentimental, even a small bug would attract his attention.

Even the sound of a chafer beating its wings should be a disturbing noise.

At this time, to Gu Weijing's ears, it was like a soft night sonata coming from the double bass strings of a symphony orchestra.

"Inspired special effects?"

Gu Weijing calmly felt his own state, it seemed to be the same as before, and it seemed to be different everywhere.

Change to a more straightforward way of understanding.

If the virtual panel of the system at this time has the function of marking all the values ​​of a person in the form of data like an RPG online game.

Taking Gu as the current state,
The value corresponding to his [Perception] ability is simply unbelievably high!

Obviously the outside world has not changed, Gu Weijing is so sober.

He didn't have any hallucinations, didn't see distorted rainbows on the walls, and mistook the dark floor for burning flames like drug addicts or neurotics.

But everything is completely different again.

Gu Weijing's eyes can easily catch the traces of the fine dust floating in the light line, and he can hear the chirping of insects and birds outside the window.

Even the uneven graininess of paint putty on the bedroom wall a few meters away can be seen clearly.

All these feelings are so novel, Gu Weijing seems to have known this familiar yet strange, wonderful and beautiful world for the first time.

It's like a person who has closed his eyes for ten years opens his eyes again to adapt to the sunlight, and he is like a chaotic and ignorant fetus reincarnated.

The five senses are unprecedentedly strengthened, and inspiration and thinking are like springs.

He can hear the famous lines of Shakespeare's plays from the beetle flapping its wings, and he can also imagine the ginger curve on the wall that was accidentally painted with crayons when he was young as a hazy waning moon, on which Li Taibai is sitting Drunk three thousand articles, and the shadows become three people.

The beauty of the world,

all the splendor,

all in between.

Gu Weijing suddenly had the urge to cry.

"It turns out that this world is so beautiful, but I have never discovered it."

Gu Weijing stared and listened almost greedily, everything he could see and hear.

Everything can also bring him a new feeling of special novelty.

The brain receives information from the outside world at an unprecedented speed, and the thinking turns like light and electricity.

Because his mind was spinning too fast, inspiration grew wildly like weeds in spring without money, and even time was set off as if it had become extraordinarily slow.

Gu Weijing had so many thoughts in his mind, from British dramas to Chinese poems.

The countdown on the virtual panel has only passed five seconds.

In this state,

He feels that if he draws anything in any way, the final emotional rating should not be lower than [feeling from the heart].

"It's time to get down to business."

Gu Weijing quietly reminded himself.

With a little regret, he no longer thinks about those precious inspirations that are like pearls and jade jingle if he thinks about it casually, he detaches his eyes from the incomparably beautiful things around him, and concentrates on the white cover of "The Little Prince".

Moved by the mind.

A pale yellow light curtain pops up from the virtual panel.

【Work title: "The Little Prince"】

【Author: Saint Exupery】

[Familiarity with works: high (calligraphy and painting identification techniques can be used)]

"Identification can be used!"

Gu Weijing quickly glanced at the other two books on the table, to be precise, a page and a book.

On that page was a poem, Wang Wei's famous five-character quatrain "Painting" that "looks at the mountains from a distance, but listens to the water at a close distance".

The thick tome is Dickens' longest novel, "Dickens: Bleak House (Bleak House)".

Before lighting the blessing candle, Gu Weijing had already prepared a heart and two hands.

There is only one chance to light a candle.

If the system requirements are too high,

Judging that Gu Weijing's familiarity with "The Little Prince" is not yet able to use the calligraphy and painting appraisal technique, and time should not be wasted.

Gu Weijing planned to use the identification technique on Wang Wei's poems.

This "Painting" is the first poem he has learned since he was a child. There are only [-] characters in the whole poem. Gu Weijing will memorize it when he was four years old. It should belong to the text that he knows best.

And Dickens's "Bleak House" belongs to the recommended reading list for Dulwich students above grade [-] in English grammar class.

For some classic passages, they specially rehearsed the play in groups in class, but there were too many chapters in the whole text, and Gu Weijing just flipped through it hastily.

It belongs to the kind that has a general impression after reading it.
Hmm...Maybe roughly similar to the level of understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions" by ordinary students with mediocre Chinese scores in Dongxia's second-rate middle schools and no literary plot?

The reason why Gu Weijing singled out this book is that he wanted to see what the specific standard is for the system to have a "strong understanding and understanding" of a book.

In the future, if small blessing candles continue to be opened in the treasure chest, he should have a standard for judging.

With a quick glance,

There are also two khaki virtual panels appearing in front of Gu Weijing's eyes.

Similar to what he initially thought, Wang Wei's "Painting" can use identification techniques, and the familiarity is also high.

And "Bleak House" is even more miserable.

The level of familiarity didn't even get a "medium" evaluation, just a pitiful "low", and the option to use the calligraphy and painting identification technique was also grayed out and unselectable.

"That is to say, those who have read it in general are not enough. You must have a fluent understanding before you can further use the calligraphy and painting identification technique."

Gu Weijing basically had an idea.

The little quiz took him another ten seconds.

At this time, the countdown on the virtual panel has 320 seconds left.

Time is precious, and Gu Weijing didn't have time to think about it, so he directly launched the famous identification technique on the white paper.

the next moment,

Bang!
The book "The Little Prince" exploded immediately.

【...If someone loves a unique flower that blooms in the vast sea of ​​stars.Then, when he looks up at the stars, he will be satisfied...]

【…He will tell himself: "My beloved flower is there, on that distant star."】

【...However, if the sheep eat the flowers.Then, for him, all starlight will be dimmed in an instant! 】

[...When you really like someone, you will think a lot, and it will be easy to do stupid things and say stupid things...]

The fairy tales written by Saint-Exupéry were broken into hundreds of words and sentences in an instant. These jumping letters rushed into Gu Weijing's mind like a sea breaking a bank.

He clenched his fists suddenly.
