Almighty painter

Chapter 479 The way to break through the situation
Gu Weijing hung up the phone and found a bench by the road to sit down.

According to Secretary Du, there is a turbulent undercurrent under the sparkling and gentle surface of the Yangon River.

Then again.

At the bottom of the Yangon River, is there any day when the undercurrent is not turbulent, and the mud and sand are gathering the withered bones of the losers?
Warlords, dignitaries, entrepreneurs, Kunsha, Brother Hao and other underworld tycoons.

You all sing and I come on stage. In the past one or two generations, the entire country has been a huge arena of strife.

got used to.

Sakai Katsuko taught Gu Weijing a very wise truth - they are just painters, and painters should only do what painters should do.

As long as Brother Hao doesn't come to trouble him, no matter how the wind roars in the eye of the storm, he only needs to take care of his one-third of an acre of land and paint his paintings well.

Say.

Now he may not be able to play Brother Hao, but if he wants to get rich, he can do it at any time.

Those high-level affairs are things that only big figures like Boss Chen who want to change the city need to consider.

Even though the content of the second half of the phone call was a little disappointing, it overall did not affect Gu Weijing's beautiful autumn harvest mood when he focused on the balance of free experience points.

Over 5 points, -digit experience points available for distribution.

Hey,
I have never fought such a rich battle!

upgrade!

With what he gained from giving lectures to the old man, Gu Weijing's current data panel has become——

[Sketch technique: Level 5 of lv.3710 profession (10000/)]

[Chinese painting techniques: Level 5 of lv.8120 profession (10000/)]

[Oil Painting Technique: Level 5 of lv.4679 Profession (10000/)]

[Watercolor painting technique: Level 4 of lv.1276 profession (5000/)]

[Printmaking technique: lv.3 semi-professional (159/1000)]

In the progress bar of the second level of the profession, the Chinese painting technique, which is already outstanding among the crowd, is nearly twice as advanced as the second-ranked oil painting technique.

Over 8000 points.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Weijing allocated two thousand points from the experience points he had just gained and added them to the column on Chinese painting techniques.

[Are you sure you want to convert 2000 free experience points into Chinese painting technique experience? 】

"determine."

【Ding! Chinese painting experience value +1879! 】

[Reminder, your current column experience value has reached the second level of the profession "9999/10000". Congratulations, you have activated the LV.6 stage breaking mission. 】

On the system virtual panel in front of Gu Weijing, a new panel that he had never seen before popped up.

【Breaking Mission——】

[In Chinese painting, we first look at the relics of our predecessors and the copies made by the Legalists, study and explore them, and trace their origins. Later, he became enlightened through confusion, and because he was able to touch it, he used pen and ink to express his temperament. By using this as a teacher, one can test the gains and losses, and the right and wrong of pseudo-study can finally be understood in the heart. 】

[Task content: Please test what you have learned, and tutor a painter whose Chinese painting skills are lower than the second level of the L.5 profession, so that he can become enlightened and reach this level. 】

[Note 1: The third level of Lv.6 career is the last piece of the puzzle on the road to becoming a master, and it is also the first step to embark on the great cause of establishing a sect in the world of painting. Every time I upgrade and overcome a bottleneck, I reach a new level. In order to ensure that you can perfectly control the technique in your hand, rather than being controlled by the technique. After the skill reaches level 5 or above, each level is perfect and you need to complete specific boundary-breaking tasks before you can upgrade. I wish you good luck. 】

[Remark 2: You can also gain insights on your own and break through bottlenecks without going through the system's boundary-breaking tasks. 】

[Note 3: If you clear the bottleneck on your own, the system will provide you with free experience points equivalent to 6% of the total experience value of the next stage (Lv. 20 career level ) as a reward. 】

"Breaking mission?"

Gu Weijing looked at the prompts on the system panel carefully.

The person controls the pen, or the pen controls the person.

It depends on whether you have a deep understanding of this painting method.

For the artist's creative process, there are also two completely different painting feelings.

The skills obtained by adding points to the system have improved too much.

for example.

It's like a person in the American comics transforms you from a frail little man into a super soldier overnight by injecting genetic medicine.

It is easy to lose control and be led by force.

If you have enough character and can control it, you will be Steve Rogers, The Captain America.

If you don’t have enough character, you are a native of the motherland.

Good and bad, good and bad, all come from one mind.

Of course, even if an artist is moved away by the so-called "power", he will definitely not make a crescent moon rush into the sky on the Empire State Building.

The feeling of being carried away by the techniques of the pen is like the state of use of [Menzel's basic painting experience] obtained at the beginning.

The emotions of all the manuscripts written are almost all locked at the level of "simple works".

Can't go up, can't come down.

You are just a servant of the system.

The upgraded [Real World] skills no longer have any emotional constraints on creation.

But Gu Weijing has transformed from a servant into a carrier of a great soul. He is filled with the strong painting style of Menzel and dominates everything he writes.

In the field of watercolor, Menzel is the one who stands out and is invincible.

He is just a guest who borrows the moonlight from the sky with a cup.

The bright moon, instead of caring about yourself.

Gu Weijing can control this painting style to a certain extent, but he cannot change this style and there is no way to turn it into his own artistic style.

This feeling is not obvious when the skill level is low.

The higher the level, the more delicate and sophisticated the writing becomes. Without enough tempering, the feeling of being invisiblely dragged away by the brush becomes more obvious.

It was for this reason that Gu Weijing hesitated to add points before, and was unwilling to directly allocate experience points to stack Chinese paintings from Level 4 to Level 5.

Instead, I honed my wisteria painting skills there.

Only now did I realize that he was worrying too much.

It's not that the system is unaware of this problem, but it is estimated that in the system's judgment standards, the technical level of level 3 and 4 is simply not on the table, and there will be no problems that cannot be controlled.

So I don’t really care if they are there or not.

At Lv. 6, which was described on the panel as the last piece of the puzzle leading to the realm of master, the system finally felt that it was worthy of serious polishing.

Therefore, you must complete specific boundary-breaking tasks before you can continue to upgrade.

Like the enlightenment in the Royal Botanic Gardens, it does not use the springboard it provides to break through the realm, just like an ordinary painter, pure wild enlightenment upgrade.

It seems that the system is also very encouraging.

According to the description on the task panel, it will directly award one-fifth of the free experience points in the next stage, which is at least a few thousand points more.

However, that state of mind and enlightenment is something you can encounter but cannot seek.

Just let it happen.

"The third level of career... is the first step to embark on the great cause of establishing a sect in the world of painting."

Gu Weijing looked at this introduction on the virtual panel with envy, although he suspected that the system was trying to make a big pie out of a donkey.

His heart still moved violently.

That is to establish a sect... The ultimate dream of every painter, and the only way to reach the $100 million mark for the price of his works.

If you become a golden elixir guest, you will become a member of our generation. It seems that in the eyes of the system, only those who have reached the level of the third level of the profession are qualified enough to be able to touch and touch the path of establishing a sect.

You think so.

The level of traditional Chinese painting of Lang Shining, who combined east and west and figured out the new body painting, happened to be at the third level of professional painter on the system panel. "Well, for the task of breaking through the bottleneck, the requirements for breaking through the bottleneck are quite simple. The task given by the system this time is not difficult."

Gu Weijing nodded.

I don’t know if the system did this intentionally.

This task coincides with the way he guides his old man to paint every day.

With better luck.

This mission of breaking through the realm of Chinese painting and the professional mission of the third step of embracing all rivers can be completed together.

"It's just that now it seems that the priority of teaching the old man to draw should be raised a little higher."

Gu Weijing thought about it.

This little pointer needs to be tightened and hit harder!

……

"Ah!"

"It's vaguely like I've seen it in a dream, and the waves in my heart are rising. I put aside the worldly affairs and let go of grudges, and we are together in the sky... A sneeze... Chasing grass in all directions in the vast desert, a sneeze! A sneeze!"

More than ten kilometers away.

In the courtyard of Gu's calligraphy and painting shop.

Old Man Gu, who was scrolling through Douyin videos while following the accompaniment and swinging under the tree with his waist, sneezed several times.

"In spring, it's cat hair and pollen. My nose can't stand it and is tired."

Gu Tongxiang took out a piece of toilet paper, wiped his nose vigorously, threw it on the table aside, and looked up at the rice paper and picture album next to him.

His brows wrinkled like bitter gourds.

The time required to paint a traditional Chinese painting can be long or short.

If it's short, it can be done in a few minutes with a cup of tea. If it's long, it may take three or four days, or one or two weeks. It is common for a large-scale masterpiece like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to take several months or years to complete.

Naturally, the things Sun Tzu asked him to copy would not be so exaggerated.

That's not training old man Gu, that's just a tired stupid boy.

The paintings in "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Book" are all classic paintings by famous artists, but the content of the scroll itself is not complicated, but even so. Take one piece each from the tree spectrum, the mountain stone spectrum, and the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum spectrum.

Come with your heart and come well.

Drawing one stroke at a time, if you concentrate on painting, your whole body muscles will become stiff, your back will be sore, and three or four hours will pass in the morning.

Old Man Gu accepted the matter with a pout because he wanted to save face by not steaming the buns in front of his grandson.

After actually painting two paintings.

He was a little timid.

Thinking that such a dark day would last a whole month, Gu Tongxiang suddenly felt... Actually, my face is not that important.

When people get old, they have less time.

Gu Tongxiang found that if he were to be as simple as he was when he was a child, he would practice dozens of high-intensity drawings every day and work hard.

It's really a bit overwhelming.

Gu Tongxiang is not a calm and accomplished master.

In my mind, I was thinking of Aunt Sun selling steamed buns, and of Old Wu playing chess, which was so noisy.

I want to go for a walk, but I am embarrassed to embarrass myself in front of my grandson.

While painting, he took out his mobile phone and started watching short videos of the elderly in the name of relaxing his muscles.

"Ha, otherwise... I'll take a nap at noon, take a walk in the afternoon, and then paint again. Anyway, this is a long-term job, so don't be in a hurry."

Gu Tongxiang couldn't help but want to be lazy.

at this time.

"Chirp! Meow!"

By chance, a starry-yellow figure jumped down from the treetops with a whoosh. Peng! There was a slightly heavy sound of the fat man landing on the ground.

scare!
Gu Tongxiang, who was about to walk away with his hands behind his back, was startled.

Then I realized it was the fat cat my grandson had.

The cat had a reddish-brown bird under its paws, and it looked like it was bullying small animals just now.

Awang looked around, his face full of expressions like "Applause! Cheers! Have you ever seen such an amazing cat? You must be shocked, I am so handsome!"

It glanced at Old Man Gu.

Yangon River Bully was sure that Lao Guzi was not lucky enough to get a glimpse of the heroic figure of this cat, and he should offer the canned cat food with both hands as a tribute. He shook his head in disdain and let out a contemptuous "meow".

immature.

It slapped the protected animal under its talons, which was suspected to be the "Burmese tit", completely stunned. It held it in its mouth, twisted and twisted its plump butt, and slipped out to play.

Gu Tongxiang was stunned.

He has never seen such a flexible "fat man".

Such a fat and round cat, which must weigh at least 13 or 14 pounds, can actually complete such a difficult action as volleying at birds?

Old Man Gu didn't understand and couldn't understand.

But he was shocked.

He thought of the battered teacup in his study.

"Could it be that... practicing your skills every day is really so useful?"

Gu Tongxiang stopped and cast his eyes on the rice paper on the open-air desk in the courtyard. He was chewing his teeth and had a struggling look on his face.

after all.

Still shocked and educated, I picked up the paintbrush hesitantly.
-
When Gu Weijing approached the campus cafeteria, he was still thinking about his grandfather's training plan.

He picked up the tray.

I just made a glass of milk, a glass of orange juice, and some pasta, then sat in the corner and started eating by myself.

"Well, let's see how the practice goes over the past two days. I don't know if I can advance this month."

Gu Weijing took a sip of milk and frowned.

a little cold.

The fees at Dulwich College are very high, and the campus conditions are really good.

As a private school that provides a complete British aristocratic education at its own expense, several on-campus cafeterias at Dulwich College, like many private public schools with a long history in Europe, provide unlimited British-style buffets.

To be fair,

At least the British cuisine in Dulwich is not as dark as the rumors. There are quite a lot of varieties and the taste is not strange. Special meals such as turkey, pie, and tacos are also available on certain holidays.

It's just that many dishes are very strangely served cold.

Including the drinks in the campus cafeteria, from orange juice to coffee, all the water from the beverage machine is iced, and even occasionally some strange fried rice and stainless steel plates are soaked in ice water.

Very inconsistent with Asian dining habits.

Gu Weijing has been studying at Dulwich College for so many years, and has never been used to drinking iced milk at 2℃ or 3℃.

He was interrupted by the cold taste, and suddenly realized that it was not only the milk in the cup that was cold in the cafeteria today, but also the atmosphere in the air.

"Hey, did you hear that her family is going to be in trouble?"

"It's said to be corruption. I didn't expect that something like this would happen to her father. She didn't come to school today. She never missed cheerleading rehearsals before."

"..."
