Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 99, Accumulation, Graduation Certificate, Rewards for Special Missions

There is a pedestrian street near Jiang Zhe's home.

On summer nights, there will be a lively night market on the pedestrian street.

There were a lot of people at the night market, so Jiang Zhe held Xiao Ka's hand and did not squeeze into the market.

Jiang Yi and his wife were originally walking with him, and when they happened to meet a friend, they stopped to chat.

That friend knew that Jiang Zhe was taking the college entrance examination this year, and they talked endlessly about this issue.

Jiang Zhe estimated that his parents would chat for a while, so he found a place with few people and sat down. He took out his sketchbook and a brown carbon stick and began to use sketches to depict the various people in the night market.

Every time he observed and captured an image that interested him, he tried to remember its features, and at the same time, he quickly drew the carbon stick across the paper. The recorded form did not seek to be an image, nor to express all the details, but to focus on expressing the most significant features of the image.

The skill package rewarded by the system has made Jiang Zhe's ability to use line modeling stronger and stronger. The jumping or continuous lines can always perfectly show what he thinks in his heart.

Jiang Zhe originally had only vague ideas about his future study direction, or artistic development direction.

Today, I got some inspiration from copying Caravaggio's works.

He likes to portray real life, especially depicting contemporary life, including some details of life and some marks of the times that are not noticed by people.

Jiang Zhe observed people of various professions, ages and identities in the market, and gradually discovered some interesting details and characteristics.

The shirtless and sweaty porters; the customers who pick and choose and finally put down their items; the auntie who raises her arms high and smashes the playing cards; the vendor who sells cotton candy and the children who are waiting for the cotton candy...all of them have become vivid images under his brush.

Jiang Zhe painted faster and faster.

In the past, he used charcoal or pencils to sketch. Today, because he was in a hurry, he only brought a small box of brown charcoal sticks. After drawing a few sketches with charcoal sticks, he realized the unique charm of this material.

Jiang Zhe was the only person painting at the night market. Many passers-by stopped to watch.

Jiang Zhe was not affected at all and continued to paint calmly.

Occasionally, when he saw someone with a particularly distinctive appearance, he would quickly record it down.

If you don’t have a mobile phone to take pictures or a camera, the best way is to take notes with a pen.

"Jiang Zhe, why are you sketching here?" A voice interrupted Jiang Zhe's thoughts.

As soon as Jiang Zhe heard the voice, he knew it was his classmate Zhao Zhi. What a coincidence, he could run into him while painting at the night market.

He turned around and saw Zhao Zhi with a girl.

"What a coincidence, you're here at the night market too?"

Zhao Zhi glanced at the sketchbook and said, "Hey, the more you draw, the better. You've already finished the exam, why are you still working so hard?"

"I have nothing to do, so I'll draw a few strokes." Jiang Zhe said as he added two strokes to the sketch.

The girl brought by Zhao Zhi looked at the ice cream stand next to them.

Jiang Zhe took the opportunity to ask silently: "Did someone change?"

Zhao Zhi smiled and nodded, then waved to Jiang Zhe and took the girl to buy ice cream.

Jiang Zhe knew that Zhao Zhi had applied to a polytechnic college in a nearby city, and they probably wouldn't have the chance to meet again in the future.

Before I knew it, I had already drawn more than a dozen sketches.

When he saw his parents coming over, he put away his tools, "Mom and Dad, what took you so long to talk?"

"One of his relatives is also taking the college entrance examination this year."

"I was wondering, how could we talk for so long?"

……

When they got home, their mother told Jiang Zhe: "Go to bed early today. You can come with us to get the property ownership certificate tomorrow."

"remember."

Jiang Zhe agreed, returned to the cabin, made himself a cup of tea, took out his sketchbook, and sorted out his gains for the day.

He selected satisfactory sketches and enriched and improved them.

Before going to bed, turn on the system again and check the accumulation.

Today's study time is 7 hours in total, but the learning accumulation calculated by the system is more than twice that of yesterday. Today's results once again prove that if you concentrate on creation, you will gain more learning accumulation.

The next morning, Jiang Zhe and his family arrived at the real estate transaction center early and received the bright red real estate certificate.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Yi looked at the certificate and couldn't let it go.

Jiang Zhe understood his parents' feelings. He was also happy to be able to reassure his parents.

He waited for a while before saying, "Mom and Dad, if you like to watch it, you can take it home and read it slowly."

"Yes, let's talk about it when we get home. I'll feel at ease when I get this." Xu Li carefully put the property certificate into the document bag, and then put the document bag into her shoulder bag.

Jiang Zhe said, "Mom and Dad, I don't want to ride in the car with you. I want to go to school to get my diploma."

Jiang Yi said, "Okay, go quickly. Come back in the afternoon and help move things."

……

Jiang Zhe rushed to the Seventh High School, the homeroom teacher's office, knocked on the door, and went in, seeing Teacher Yu filling out a form.

On the desk, there was a pile of opened documents.

Teacher Yu saw Jiang Zhe and put down his pen: "Jiang Zhe, please sit down first. I will find your diploma for you."

She found Jiang Zhe's graduation certificate and handed it to him: "Check if there is any problem with your information."

The diploma had a picture of Jiang Zhe on it, the graduation date written on it, and the school's seal on it. "No problem, thank you, Teacher Yu."

Teacher Yu looked at Jiang Zhe and said, "You did well in the exam, so I don't think it will be a big problem. Congratulations. The people in our class have received their diplomas but have not left yet. They have already gone to the studio. You can go and take a look."

Jiang Zhe chatted with the teacher about family matters for a while, then saw the training materials spread out on the table. He knew the teacher had something else to do, so he said goodbye and left.

When Teacher Yu sent Jiang Zhe out of the office, she specifically told him to call her after receiving the notice.

Jiang Zhe went to the studio and said goodbye to several professional teachers. There were not many students gathered in the studio.

He heard from his classmates that four students in his class did not perform well in the exam and had to repeat the year. They would enter the next special class and wait until next year to fight again.

The students in the class left the school one after another with their graduation certificates.

Students lose their relationship with the school after they get their diplomas and go their separate ways. Those who miss their old friendship with their classmates will get together again many years later, but many people will never have the chance to meet again.

Jiang Zhe returned home and moved things to the new house with his parents. There were no major changes to the new house, so there was no need to remove the odor like decorating a new house.

Jiang Yi and his wife plan to move as soon as possible and have already moved their small items to their new home.

They worked until two o'clock in the afternoon, when Jiang Yi and his wife felt tired and stopped to rest.

Some of Jiang Zhe's belongings have been moved to his new home, so he will spend the night in the studio.

He brought Xiao Ka to the studio and saw that some of the base on the oil painting paper had already dried.

Jiang Zhe began to sketch the draft on the base.

Although the canvas paper is small, it is sufficient for depicting single figures and still lifes.

After the rough draft is finished, apply a layer of transparent Van Dyck brown or transparent earthy red on the paper. When this layer of color is dry, it is time to proceed to the next step of shaping.

The transparent glazing technique of classical oil painting requires waiting for the color to dry after each layer of color is applied, which is very troublesome.

After dinner, he played Ivel's teaching video on his computer. In the middle of the video, he heard the system prompt.

He paused the playback, clicked on the system, and saw a new prompt: Random tasks can be completed.

Jiang Zhe became alert and immediately checked the random task description.

The two culprits who triggered the mission have been brought to justice, and the mission can be completed. Players can get rewards for playing a role in the mission.

Jiang Zhe clicks Finish.

The system calculates and gives rewards.

Reward 1: Upgrade the skill bar and add free options for learning and accumulation.

Reward 2: Add character honorary titles.

This time, the rewards don't include common skills or funds.

Jiang Zhe clicks to view the reward instructions.

In the skill column, there is an extra proficiency space after each skill. You can use learning accumulation to increase proficiency and upgrade the level. With this option, you don't have to rely too much on skill rewards. In theory, you can increase proficiency through learning and enhance and upgrade the skill level.

He clicked on the skill bar and saw that there was an additional proficiency space after each skill.

Jiang Zhe then checked the second reward - the honorary title.

On the system character page, an honorary title appeared after Jiang Zhe's name. Now, his honorary title was - Rookie.

Click on the words "newbie" and instructions will pop up on the page.

Rookie means that the player has just started his career and has already gained some fame. The honorary title has a potential positive effect on the player.

However, Jiang Zhe did not feel the effect for the time being.

He wanted to try out the effect of accumulating proficiency.

Grab a pen and paper and spend half an hour perfecting the sketch of the fruit basket.

Open the skill bar again and you will see that the proficiency of the sketching skill has only increased by 0.1. You can upgrade the skill only when you accumulate 100 points.

However, Jiang Zhe was not discouraged. Although the accumulation of proficiency is slow, it can be achieved if you persist, which also makes the daily invisible accumulation more intuitive.

He turned off the system, thinking that since the mission was completed, Wei and Du should be finished, how about Ning Anchi and Sister Liao? There was no news about them today.

The next day, Jiang Zhe continued to move things with his parents.

After settling everything in his new home, Jiang Zhe received a call from Chen Yan.

"Jiang Zhe, do you have time today? Let's go play."

"Okay, wait a moment." Jiang Zhe covered his phone and asked his mother, "My classmate called and asked me to go out and play. Can I go?"

"Go, go." Xu Li agreed readily.

"Where shall we meet?" Jiang Zhe asked Chen Yan.

"Let's go to the central pedestrian street. Don't forget to bring Xiaoka with you."

Jiang Zhe took Xiao Ka to the central pedestrian street and saw Chen Yan enjoying the cool under the shade of a tree.

Xiao Ka spotted Chen Yan from afar, pulled Jiang Zhe hard, and ran towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan waved at Jiang Zhe, ran over, picked up Xiao Ka first, and caressed him affectionately. "Do you miss me?"

Xiao Ka would only try his best to cater to her actions.

Today, Chen Yan, wearing a sun hat, a white top with cartoon patterns, beige beach pants and sandals, looks full of energy.

"I'll lead Carl." Chen Yan took the rope from Jiang Zhe.

"Jiang Zhe, I want to buy summer shoes first."

"Okay, let's go check out the store."

The two walked side by side on the pedestrian street.
