Almighty painter

Chapter 35 Sketching - Class [-]

The Yangon River is another weekend full of tourists.

Gu Weijing took the morning newspaper and ran all the way from the embankment to the door of the house.

"Attention! (Attention!)"

Wearing black combat masks and holding M4 assault rifles, the two soldiers stood at attention, and the heels of combat boots collided with each other, making a dull bang.

"Hey honey, look at it."

A French couple who had just disembarked from the Marie international sightseeing cruise ship were shocked by this scene.

Looking at them, the guards with nuclear guns and live ammunition were standing guard in front of an old British-style building outside the Yangon River. They looked well-trained and well-equipped to fight.

"Gu's... Calligraphy and painting shop?"

The blonde and blue-eyed French girl looked at the sign above the painting and calligraphy shop, and read out each word curiously.

"This calligraphy and painting shop actually has a policeman standing guard."

"Maybe the collection inside is more precious. Isn't there a guard in front of the bank, and... are they really the police?"

Her male partner looked at the tactical rifle with a full set of optics in the guard's hand, and murmured, "That's cool."

Gu Weijing nodded towards the two armed guards at the door, as a greeting.

This guard was arranged by Lao Yang looking for connections.

Maybe Mr. Cao revealed something to his assistant. Anyway, Mr. Yang has been very enthusiastic these days, and he seems to have made up his mind to sell it to Gu Weijing.

I heard that these two guard boys belonged to the government's VIP (Vital Personnel) protection team, and were originally one of the bodyguards assigned by the government to Mr. Cao.

This is how top artists in the world are treated.

Artists and celebrities around the world have stepped up security since John Lennon was shot and killed by fans on the streets of New York City.

Michael Jackson, the COLDPLAY band and other superstars or Real Madrid and Paris teams go to Colombia, Mexico and other drug lord-infested countries to perform and play exhibition games. The government will also increase investment regardless of the cost.

In addition to strengthening police patrols during the performance, combat troops will even be dispatched to ensure the safety of these international artists.

Especially in Colombia, where drug lords have money to buy armed helicopters, fighter jet patrols are possible.

Painters are relatively small. Compared with singers and players, Mr. Cao is not so well-known.

But this project was officially organized and invited by the Myanmar government.

The safety of Mr. Cao Xuan is the face of the Burmese government. What if someone in the Golden Triangle warlord wants to play a big game and tie up an artist to speak to the world?
Therefore, the officials dispatched a team of VIP protection teams.

In order to prevent being bribed by drug lords, warlords or bought by political opponents, not only the names of members of the VIP protection team and the specific unit numbers are top secret, but special training is even conducted at overseas bases.

Lao Yang didn't know where he got the news that Gu Weijing had recently been entangled by the underworld, and where did he go? In order to save the face of the Yangon officials, he even seconded two younger brothers to stand on duty for two days temporarily to show his appearance.

This effect is remarkable.

Being entangled by the underworld, especially a person like Brother Hao who eats both black and white, it is probably useless to find the police, but the VIP protection team must be the right medicine for the case.

Because you have to dare to make trouble, no matter what your background is, these people can really shoot.

They have a warrant to use deadly force, known in popular urban legend as a "license to kill."

With these two murderous door gods standing guard temporarily, let alone the bald head and his little brother Shamat disappeared without a trace, even the big yellow dog next door passing by the door did not dare to bark.

And probably because of curiosity, the number of foreign tourists who walked into this calligraphy and painting shop with guards in the past two days has increased a lot.

Gu Weijing returned home.

There is still a lot of time left for school.

These days, his life is very regular. When the mural restoration project started, he went to Mr. Cao to help him. On the rest days, he practiced painting at home and received manuscripts on Fivver to make money.

Considering that the Lion City Art Exhibition is only half a year away, he must receive a large order and earn a lot of money in order to convert enough experience points.

Only good word-of-mouth and transaction records can improve your reliability in the eyes of buyers.

Gu Weijing didn't play it perfunctory just because he set a relatively low price during the opening period.Every business he accepts anonymously through the online shop "Detective Cat" uses the skill of [Menzel's painting experience].

After this skill is activated, in addition to drawing well, it is also very fast, with the same effect and space as the light and shadow of the previous Mercedes-Benz model photo.

If it was my past self, I wouldn’t say whether I could draw or not.Coupled with repeated revisions of conception, sketching and coloring, don't even think about it for five or six hours.

But with the blessing of skills, there is almost no need to think and modify at all. It can be said that it can be done overnight and done.

As long as the contract is not particularly complicated and needs to be split into two days, he can basically finish it in just half an hour.

Buying master-level technology at the price of a fast meal, Gu Weijing himself felt that he could no longer be conscientious.

It's a pity that at this time, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

According to the big data algorithm, even if every order is positive with zero revisions, his current recommendation priority on Fivver is still relatively low, and it is not comparable to those large online shops with annual transaction volume of several million US dollars.

The announcement and release of movie posters received by these studios may cost tens of thousands of dollars per order.

Since he opened the shop, he has completed five orders. The price ranges from ten dollars to one hundred dollars according to the complexity. The basic charge is the creative sketch drawing of the bunny theme, which can be drawn in one to two minutes. Ten dollars, more complicated animation illustrations will be more expensive.

However, when doing business online, there will inevitably be all kinds of strange customers.

He had a German guy come to him before, and he wanted to paint ten color animation illustrations, and the price was very generous.

Gu Weijing had already received a deposit of 70 US dollars, only to realize that there has never been a story of a pie in the sky.

That portrait is Mikasa Ackerman's Berlin house in "Attack on Titan". I asked myself to draw...paint...paint that kind of scene.

Sure enough, there is no separation of homes in the world.

Gu Weijing looked at the remaining 500 US dollars promised by the other party with great regret, then refunded all the deposits, and silently added the other party to the blacklist.

He walked into his studio and turned on the computer.

Currently, there are several order messages that need to be processed on my Fivver.

The first news is that I have received a good order yesterday. It is a housewife in New York who wants to illustrate portraits of her pet cats. A set of four totals $90.

He didn't have enough time for his skills yesterday, and in order to pursue quality, he plans to paint again today.

Before writing, Gu Weijing glanced at his panel.

[Sketch: Semi-professional Lv.3 (993/1000)]

"It seems that we can upgrade today."

As he thought about it, he activated his skill to write.

Sure enough, just as Gu Weijing started to quickly draw the outline of a kitten, the notification sound on the panel in his mind rang.

[Your sketch level has been raised. 】

　Today I added 7000 words. Originally, it was a bit too much for the new issue, but I didn’t deliberately split it into three chapters or pour it into four chapters, asking for follow-up reading.
