Cartoonist's Dream

——My road to originality is really difficult.

It's not that the level of manga is insufficient, nor is it that there is a problem with the design of the plot, it's just that the ideas occasionally revealed in the manga make the publishing house afraid to accept it.

Although he has long realized that "China" must be changed to "country" in certain situations, the stubborn thoughts rooted in his character always make Limu show some things that some people don't like in his comics.

Rimu is very contradictory. He hates the lack of order in the world. Once there is no order in the country, many voices will flock to him, but he also hates power. The order of power overwhelms his self-assertion in chaos.

His tenacious perseverance made him contribute again and again.I didn't intend to object to anything, but occasionally revealed a little meaning, and the pressure of that kind of form would be put on the publishing house, and the publishing house would put the pressure on him who submitted the manuscript. [

In fact, this pressure is people's own guesswork.This physical hand seldom turns into a physical hand, but people respect it and abide by its previous rules.

Therefore, Limu hopes to obtain order but hates the real order, and thus gets involved in the gap between the real world and the ideal world, resulting in an inexplicable sense of alienation.Original heart is like a swamp sinking to the bottom. If no one comes out to remind him, the original works will always show his inner fear of darkness leaking out.

This is a forbidden area that publishers do not want to touch.

Li Mu knows that there is a "rebellious" character hidden in her heart.It violates the existing order, loves internationalism, and is full of disgust for the status quo of the country's continuous "deterioration".He tried his best to cover this feeling with his coat, but the tighter he covered it, the more alluring the fresh air outside became, and the hidden feelings would eventually pop out like moths to a flame.

Therefore, Li Mu's original manga was never adopted, and was rejected when the publishing house browsed the story structure.In order to chase his dream of being a cartoonist again, he had to rethink his way as a cartoonist.

——The road is difficult, the road is difficult, and there are many divergent roads.

——The originality is not good, so we can only carry out the great cause of plagiarism first.

There are so many excellent comics in later generations, even if only half of them are selected, Li Mu thinks that all skills can be upgraded to lv10, and he can't copy them all.

Speaking of the skills given by the system, "One Mind and One Mind lv1" is indeed a good skill, and Li Mu really felt the benefits of dedicating himself wholeheartedly.Coupled with the bonus of the passive skill "Precision Work lv1", the speed of drawing comics has almost reached the working speed of two cartoonists.

However, the curse attached to the system is still as disgusting as ever.

It was probably a week before I left school, and the floodwaters of the Lujiang River had receded long ago, and the overflowing floodwaters only affected areas less than [-] meters along the coast.

It is said that on August 8, most of Jiujiang’s breached steel-wood-earth composite dams were exposed to the water surface, and the danger was effectively controlled. The raging river water was finally turned around and rushed downstream tamely, and the breach of the embankment was completely blocked. Since August 11th, 8 officers and soldiers of the country rushed to rescue 15 cubic meters of filler overnight, and finally built a third cofferdam with a length of 6500 meters before the arrival of the sixth flood peak.

So far, the blocking of the Jiujiang embankment has achieved a complete victory...

Then ushered in the seventh or eighth flood peak?

This has nothing to do with Limu, he is now avoiding contact with flood-related incidents, and he will not be moved even if the prophecy letter is spreading all over the city outside.He only remembered that the most harmful ones were the first four flood peaks. As for the later flood peaks, he had never heard of them. It is estimated that it is at this final stage that the breach can be blocked again.

Anyway, the flood in the Lujiang River has receded, and Pingnan Village has resumed its daily life.

Limu doesn't care about the flood, but he cares about the daily tasks assigned by the system today. If there is one thing he is most afraid of recently, it is probably going out on the street——

[Daily task - sound-isolating earmuffs: Please buy a sound-isolating earmuff or earphones within today. Excellent sound-isolating earmuffs can help you not be easily interrupted when using the skill "One-hearted".Reward for completing the task: one gold coin for skill activation; penalty for failure of the task: loss of one gold coin for skill activation.Do you want to accept it now? 】

The difficulty of the task is at the yellow level, and the specified time is one day. There is no other way except to go to the street to buy, and Li Mu himself actually wants to buy earmuffs. "One-hearted" is easily interrupted, which means that a startup gold coin will be wasted, and you will have to do daily tasks to earn it back. [

And there is only one daily task per day, that is to say, if you only count the daily tasks, only 365 activation gold coins can be claimed in a year.Using one a day can only achieve a balance of payments, considering that there are still two active skills that have not yet been activated.If you give up the mission at will, God knows what kind of "struggle" life you will live in the future.

If you can save, you can save, and if you can earn, you can earn.

Adhering to the principle of Grandet, the first thing Li Mu does when he wakes up every morning is to open the task panel to check the daily tasks.If he has the ability to complete it, he will take it as much as possible. For an extremely expensive task like [buying a complete set of oil painting tools], he will not hesitate to lose his entire family.The day after purchasing the tool, the system will often give a relatively simple task [Please try to draw an oil painting].Afterwards, although they will intensify and give tasks that are impossible to complete in one day, such as [Please try to draw ten oil paintings] [Please draw an oil painting carefully and get at least ten people to approve it], but Li Mu is also very happy to take time to spend several days To be done.

These tasks are the tasks to train him to get started with oil painting, and the process of other basic tasks is roughly the same.First buy the tools, then follow the task prompts to paint, then get the approval of ordinary people, and finally get the approval of the system.The day-to-day tasks that eventually lead to system entry approval are the most difficult tasks to complete.

The daily task of buying tools is important!It is the beginning of a series of tasks.

But the curse of mystery caused him a lot of headaches... The tip of the curse is correct, and he needs to find someone who knows the way when he goes out in the future.

Li Mu didn't even dare to go to Lu's house by herself now, and usually called them to come over, or followed her mother when she got out of the car.Recently, my mother often laughed and said: "I don't want to walk a few steps, son, you are so lazy."At night, he deliberately stayed late and was "sent" or "picked up" by the two families to go home.

Under the powerful effect of the curse of mystery, Limu would get lost in the two connected floors of his house, often taking the second floor as the third floor and the fourth floor as the fifth floor.Later generations of old parents often make such mistakes, and Limu finally understands their depressed feelings, and this is not a man-made way to control.

However, from the third floor to the first floor, there is still no mistake. After all, the small grocery store on the first floor is fundamentally different from other floors. The huge storefront and the steel rolling door are the most obvious signs. It is natural to go down to the first floor. will stop.

The red telephone set on the glass counter is also very conspicuous.

"uncle"

Li Mu took the salary card given by her mother, dressed neatly, walked to the grocery store on the first floor, and called out to her uncle who was dozing off in the store early in the morning.Seeing that he didn't respond, he stood on tiptoe, grabbed the phone wire and dragged it to the edge of the counter until he could grab the phone and take it off.Press the familiar phone number of Lu Wei's house

beep beep...

"Hey, hello, may I ask who you're looking for, woo woo woo~ Who is it?" After saying this, he yawned lazily.

Since it was a common telephone line, the three phones in the living room and the two rooms of Lu's house rang at the same time. It was Lu Wei's mother Li Shu who answered the phone first, and she couldn't be said to be lazy.It was 08:30 in the morning. For Li Shu who was not working, the real time to get up was half an hour later.

"Good morning, Auntie Li. I'm Limu. I want to go out to buy some tools today, but no one took me to the street. I want to go with Lu Hui. If it's not convenient, please tell her to call me later."

"No need, Lu Hui should be awake, I'm going to get up to prepare breakfast too, wait a minute and I'll call her over."

"Ah. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." Li Mu said.

Considering the call fee, Lu Hui quickly rushed to her parents' room, and said a little out of breath:

"Wood, where are you going today? I don't know the way too far away."

"To cross the bridge, go to the cultural market first, then to the back street at the foot of the water tower, and if you can't, go to the trading market."

Crossing the bridge means a little far away. [

The center of Nanhua is divided into two halves by the Lujiang River, basically located on both sides of the Nanhua Bridge.

South of the bridge is the Nanjiang District where Limu lives. There are cinemas, snack alleys, ice rinks, gymnasiums, swimming pools, opera houses, Xiyuan and other entertainment and leisure venues.It is precisely because there are so many entertainment venues that Xiyuan is built as a place to welcome provincial and municipal officials, which is as impressive as a villa area.

Qiaobei is a commercial area for shopping, with department stores, trading markets, Minsheng Plaza, Xinhua Bookstore and other trading places.Three years later, some residential buildings will be demolished to build a pedestrian street, and there have been two expansions since then.Li Xiuli's eldest sister still has a two-story wooden old house there, but these are for later.

In short, across the bridge from Nanjiang District is Beijiang District. Compared with elementary school students like Limu with small arms and legs, it is equivalent to a "dangerous area" that must be accompanied by an adult.

"Well, no problem, when will we go?" Lu Hui asked.As far as the three places in Beijiang District are concerned, she thinks there shouldn't be any problems.

"The sooner the better, just come and call me when you're ready." Li Mu touched the bank card in his pocket, it was more abundant than when he was in his 20s.Full of confidence for a while, he added to his wife: "You can also be our first date."

"Hey!!" Lu Hui blushed suddenly, and said on the phone: "Oh, I see, I came to see you after breakfast at 09:30, right? Well, okay, then I'll hang up."

Huh?

Li Mu was taken aback by the beeping microphone while being hung up by Lu Hui.

I haven't said anything yet?

Thinking of the strange situation of Lu Hui's self-questioning and self-answering, such a scene appeared in Li Mu's mind. Her mother was wandering in the living room, but suddenly walked up to her and listened to her, causing Lu Hui to hang up the phone in a panic.
