Anecdotes about Ma Niang in East China

Urobuchi Makoto: Okay, then I'll start working. If it's quick, I can show you the design drawings tomorrow.

Dongcheng Kuaiju breathed a sigh of relief. This time the other party seemed to be very cooperative and even allowed Dongcheng Kuaiju to do some self-expression. Dongcheng Kuaiju was famous for his fast painting speed, but this was the first time he received such a request. Obviously, I can't handle the commercial manuscript alone.

So...she dialed her senior sister's phone number.

"Hey, senior, I received a commercial draft. Yes, can you give me some pointers on how to draw the commercial draft?"

-

Makinohara Tooko quickly arrived at Ma Niangzhuang. After chatting with Xing Wang and others, he went to Dongcheng Kuaiju's room without stopping. At this time, Dongcheng Kuaiju already had an almost completed design drawing on his computer. Well, this design drawing was completely drawn according to the requirements of Mr. Takahashi. It is basically a cute two-dimensional beautiful girl. The image is probably based on the image of the previous work of Alchemy Workshop.

The reference works probably include "Totori's Alchemy Workshop", "Sophie's Alchemy Workshop", etc. The heroines in the Alchemy Workshop series have a very fantasy style. Dongcheng Kaiju specially studied it when he took the exam. Fantasy-style costumes and the like, so he was very easy to draw, and Tooko who was observing from the side also gave a high evaluation.

"As expected of a body camera... The speed of your painting really makes me jealous." This sentence is true. Although Touko-senpai is called a genius in the real world, she is also famous for delaying drafts. , so she often needs Dongcheng Kuaiju's support, but it's not entirely because she keeps calling her to help Dongcheng Kuaiju.

Dongcheng Kuaiju's painting speed is really fast, so fast that people wonder if she is like a printer.Seeing the beautiful girl with busty breasts popping up on the screen, Touko nodded silently, "Actually, this design drawing of yours can be submitted as a commercial draft. Although it can't be said to be very brilliant, I think there is no problem in attracting others. Xiaodongcheng, your painting skills have also improved."

"I've tried my best...but I always feel like it's missing a bit of flavor." Dongcheng Kuaiju sighed and responded. "Is this my first commercial draft as a character designer, or is it better to have you in charge?"

"That's true, you are quite steady." Yuanzi nodded, "Then what do you think is missing?"

"How should I put it... I am missing someone who will be attracted at first glance..." Dongcheng Kuaiju said, adding a few strokes to this energetic beauty, "Highlights... Although Teacher Takahashi said that big breasts are a selling point One, but now there are too many characters with big breasts, and the setting of big breasts and energetic girls is actually a bit conflicting - after all, characters with big breasts feel tired when they run and jump."

"Really?" Touko touched her chin doubtfully, "I think it's okay? It's not reality. There's no need to consider the physics engine for big-breasted characters in Two-dimensional."

"I just think big breasts are not suitable as a complete selling point..." Dongcheng Kuaiju complained, "Also... although big breasts are nothing in themselves, and I don't think there is anything wrong with them, but can big breasts alone attract attention? "

"Then just come up with a new selling point, the kind of painting that can catch other people's attention -" Touko Makinohara responded, "Don't worry, you have enough time."

"Ah... let me think about it." Dongcheng Kuaiju turned around in his chair, frowning and thinking for a long time, "Nowadays, beautiful girls basically fall into the same category, either with big breasts, or small breasts, and very thin. Thin bamboo pole legs are basically like this."

"This is the aesthetics of the industry...and this kind of work obviously cannot pursue realism." Toko Makinohara responded, "If you think about it, a large-scale adaptation will definitely not work, but a slight adaptation in details will make a difference. It works wonders.”

"Yeah... I understand." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded, "But it's more troublesome than expected... Is this the so-called commercial draft?"

"Commercial drafts are not something that can be drawn casually. Why don't you just play other fantasy-themed games to draw materials?" Touko Makinohara suggested, "Anyway, it will definitely not work if you just do it behind closed doors."

"That's right..." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded, "But the design draft will be handed in within three days. Is the time I asked for too short..."

"...It's no longer a matter of short time, right?" Toko Makinohara was numb, "You need at least a month to do it."

"Hey hehe... But I already have some ideas. I should be able to draw a new version tomorrow." Dongcheng Kuaiju said with a smile, "Thank you, senior, I feel relieved with you here."

"It's not a big problem. If it doesn't work, I can help you polish it up a bit." Toko Makinohara is already an experienced person, and she patted her chest confidently, "Just look at me."

"Oh——" Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded, and then she suddenly slapped her head, "Speaking of which...does the female character have to have bamboo pole legs?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 29·No one asked about alchemy for ten years, but once the fleshy legs were known to the world.

"Why can't beautiful girls have healthy fat legs!!!" When Dongcheng Kuaiju showed the modified design to Touko Makinohara, it was already late at night, but he promised that Dongcheng Kuaiju would help review it. Ms. Toko still managed to hold on and glanced at the email sent by the other party.

After returning from Ma Niangzhuang in the afternoon, Dongcheng Kuaiju seemed to be in a very excited state. This is not a bad thing. Many creators may be in this state when they think of some ideas. For Dongcheng Kuaiju Generally speaking, it is rare to be in this kind of fanatical state, but it is different for a genius like Touko.

"Calm down, I will help you take care of it." Of course Touko Makinohara is also happy for Dongcheng Kuaiju. After all, this is the first time for a school girl like her to get such an opportunity, and she is also the designer of the protagonist's character. This position can be said to be a rare piece of luck for her, who had always avoided all opportunities in the art field like an Eastern player.

Should we say that things are going well, or should we say that Dongcheng Kuaiju has almost finished all the hardships it has suffered? Dongcheng Kuaiju has actually started to turn around.If I do a good job this time, I estimate that there will be no shortage of business orders in the future. Although I may not have time to accept manuscripts after I resume training after half a month, I can still break into the industry.

Shame that tkm is not a small company, and it is already very good to have such a start.In the future, after retiring, she will be settled. As a senior, Tooko Makinohara is quite pleased.No matter what, my stupid schoolgirl finally got to make full use of her talents.

Yuanzi has always believed that Chen Xinyu, or Dongcheng Kuaiju, has special talents. She has the ability to produce industrial paintings with high quality and frequency.This kind of printer-like ability is actually what many painters dream of. This is her unique weapon.

Moreover, if Dongcheng Kuaiju can break through the barriers of her previous life and draw unique works, obviously painters like her will be more popular.This invitation from Ansha tkm is a very good opportunity.

After downloading the attachment in the email, unzip it, and open it one by one. After using her professional eyes to pass through the previous works of fantasy-style heroines that were too old-fashioned, she stopped at a design draft and examined this somewhat unique design. She thought about the design for a long time before sending a message.

"Are you...really planning to use this design?" There was one comment. From Touko's point of view, the youthful vitality of the child in this picture is almost overflowing, and the Dongcheng Kuaiju has a slightly gloomy atmosphere. It's completely different, and it's hard for her to express her youthful beauty so vividly.But it doesn’t matter if it’s just these, what’s more important…

"This child's name is...Lisa, right?" Toko Makinohara touched her chin, "These thighs...are really just the right amount of fat."

This is not sarcasm, this is sincere. Under the control of Dongcheng Kuaiju, although Lysa has two legs that can be called exaggerated in the series, it does not make the overall proportions out of balance, and even makes it worse. It highlights the curves of the fleshy legs and buttocks well, but the setting of the big breasts seems a bit weak.

Everyone's first reaction when seeing this picture will be that the other person is healthy, fleshy, and the position of the flesh. This fleshy leg does not ruin the beauty at all, and it also fully displays the charm of the originally ordinary young heroine. When she came out, Makinohara Tooko thought about how amazing the physics engine would be under the movement of the thigh after 3D modeling.

"This... is not bad." Touko Makinohara also looked at the next few designs, but this fleshy leg design is really unforgettable. Although the aesthetic of fleshy legs has always existed on the p site, it has never been considered It is mainstream, but this picture drawn by Dongcheng Kuaiju has an unforgettable charm, and this is enough.

"Just choose this one... I think this child is the cutest." Toko Makinohara responded, "Lisa... well, this child will definitely attract a lot of people."

"Hey, hehe, it's not that bad... I just remembered that I gained weight when I went to Hong Kong. My thighs were chubby at that time, and I didn't feel that ugly. Although I lost weight later, it's not I just found inspiration from life." After being praised by Toko Makinohara, Dongcheng Kuaiju was so excited that he said modest words, but his expression was not modest at all, and he was almost floating.

"But this character is definitely not yours." Toko Makinohara also promptly said, "If you want to show such a cheerful smile, it's still 2 years early."

"Well... the character settings were given by Party A, but as for the prototypes, I actually used Xiaobei and Xiaozuan as the prototypes." Dongcheng Kuaiju said with some embarrassment, "Look, he is straightforward. He has an innocent and naughty little devil character, just like the combination of Xiao Bei and Xiao Zuan. It is simply the product of Xiao Zuan and Xiao Bei overlaying the network with an over-capacity network. Ah - don't say this. Talk to Xiaozuan and Xiaobei."

"I think they won't care. Anyway, you already regard those two people as prototypes in your comics. It's your advantage to draw materials from around you." Toko Makinohara nodded, "I'll help you make up for it. Then you can play freely. I think this time is an opportunity for you. I will not be too involved. I will just check and fix the details. Everything is left to you."

"Ok!"

"Also, don't stay up late. It's already one o'clock in the morning. You are still a student without training, remember?" Makinohara Touko reminded with some worry, "You guys can't listen once you get angry. Did you hear that? "

There was no response from Dongcheng Kuaiju this time. If I am not mistaken, she has entered the state of work again. For Party A, this partner who adheres to time limits and quality is of course rare, but for training For members of the public, that is not a good habit.

...Forget it, tomorrow is also a day off anyway, let her have some fun... This child can really find something to do for herself.

But... isn't the prototype of the child Lysa based on Little Dongcheng's own thigh?Makinohara Tooko stared at Lesa who was still a design drawing, and felt an inexplicable urge to complete the work. Of course, she would not submit the work to Dongcheng Kuaiju, and Dongcheng Kuaiju would not accept it. But she just wanted to try painting.

Moreover - she is actually a meat-legged person, so this picture really makes her ecstatic.

It’s nothing to do anyway, so it’s not bad to draw it and let yourself lick it.Makinohara Tooko took out the board next to his hand and began to write.Skillfully tracing lines, applying light and shade, and coloring, it took about three hours for Makinohara Tooko to turn the original design drawing into a complete version. Although it is estimated to be somewhat different from Tojo Kaiju's original intention, she I still feel that this design drawing itself is excellent enough.

Is it the finished painting? Why do I always feel that the face is based on the feeling of Xiaodongcheng?

Ahem... forget it, this picture cannot be seen by Xiaodongcheng. Toko Makinohara saved the picture in her mobile phone. Although she was very satisfied with the picture, she had no intention of releasing it.After all, it would be bad if someone saw him making a color palette or something like that. It would affect Xiao Dongcheng's career.

-

The next morning, Makinohara Tooko, who was worried about the design draft, drove to Ma Niangzhuang. When she arrived on the second floor, she felt a wonderful atmosphere. She subconsciously slowed down her steps and came. When she arrived at Dongcheng Kuaiju's room, she carefully opened the door - sure enough, Dongcheng Kuaiju stared with a pair of blood-red eyes, the tip of the pen in her hand was about to be ground flat, and in front of her was a painting that was about to be completed. picture--

"Have you not finished painting yet?" Although Makinohara Tooko had expected it, she still expressed concern about Dongcheng Kuaiju's working status. After helping Dongcheng Kuaiju open the curtains, the child who had stayed up all night looked like a vampire. At the sight of the light it sounded a trumpet of pain.

"My eyes! My eyes!"

"Who asked you to stay up late?" Makinohara Tooko had no choice but to close the curtains and came to Dongcheng Kuaiju's side to check on her condition. "Isn't it done yet? It's really strange for you."

"It's done..." Dongcheng Kuaiju whispered, "It's just that I wasn't too reassured, so I drew several more design drawings, and the one just now is the last one."

"You... you have gone too far in planning for a rainy day." What Toucheng Kuaiju said was really something she could do, so Makinohara Tooko took over Toucheng Kuaiju's mouse, and then she saw the dense PNGs on the desktop. Her hands shook, and she realized that this number was not the level of drawing "several more pictures". After careful counting, there were probably more than 30 pictures.

In one night, more than 30 colored design drafts... Is this the limit of a horse racing girl?It's even more exaggerated than before.Did becoming a racehorse girl actually increase her speed?Makinohara Tooko sighed and complained. "Aren't you at the level of a few pictures?"

"...Well, I don't remember..." Dongcheng Kuaiju, who had her eyes closed and still shed tears, could no longer open her eyes. Makinohara Tooko quickly carried her to the bed, and then took out the panda eye mask on the side. She put it on and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just choose the best ones for you and send them to Party A. You can get some sleep first. Otherwise, you won't be energetic today."

After listening to Yuanzi's words, Dongcheng Kuaiju could only lie motionless. After a few minutes, his breathing became steady, and he obviously fell asleep.And Makinohara Tooko also took the responsibility to help Dongcheng Kuaiju select the best ones, and then found the email from Ansha tkm in the mailing list and sent the manuscript.

Takahashi:? !

Takahashi: So fast? !

Urobuchi Makoto: Sorry, Teacher Urobuchi Makoto stayed up late yesterday to finish the painting and has gone to bed now. I am her... uh, editor and friend. If you have any questions, I can discuss it with you on her behalf.

Takahashi: Teacher Urobuchi Makoto is really amazing.The design draft can actually be produced the next day. It would be great if all the painters were as efficient as Mr. Urobuchi Makoto.

How is that possible... If everyone is as stupid as their schoolmate, the profession of painter may be ruined.As a member of the defaulting party, Makinohara Tooko curled his lips and his subordinates replied.

Urobuchi Makoto: Personally, I think the design drawings she drew are the best and the ones that best meet your requirements. I have sent them to you. If you need anything else, you can explain it to me on the spot.Or wait until Teacher Xu Yuancheng wakes up to discuss it with you.

Takahashi: OK, thank you for your cooperation.

Takahashi has met many painters in his life, but it is really rare for him to hand in his answer sheet the next day. However, painters still have to rely on the quality of their works, so Takahashi opened the compressed file immediately. And when he saw the first design draft, his eyes lit up.

It was almost exactly the same as the fantasy alchemist girl in his mind. Both the details and colors were of a very professional level. It would be absolutely fine to use it as a design drawing.Although it is only the first one, it is undoubtedly enough.

Although the main reviewer needs to be sent from Dark Shame, at least as the creator of the plot, Takahashi is very satisfied with this character design, which is quite in the style of the Atelier series.It's just that Takahashi is still somewhat regretful. After all, he didn't see what Teacher Urobuchi Makoto said from above [self-expression].

So he looked at the next picture with curiosity——

？ ！！

Takahashi has seen the works of many excellent painters, but when he saw the drawings designed by Tojo Kuaiju with all his efforts, he was attracted. If he was just an ordinary beautiful girl, then of course he would not be able to satisfy the old Two-dimensional Takahashi's, but the moment this character picture appeared, his feeling was - this beautiful girl is from some work!Forget it, don't worry about it for now, she is my wife anyway.

The fleshy thighs, the invincible youthful vitality exuding from the beginning to the end, the dark belly that is occasionally revealed in the difference, and the movement that seems to be moving on the screen in the next second, I have to say that originally, I The selling point of the design, the big breasts, are simply vulnerable in front of meaty legs.

The so-called [autonomous expression] is what it is. It is indeed Mr. Urobuchi Makoto.In fact, the most important thing about the so-called two-dimensional works is not the artistry, nor the artist's self-realization, but the stunningness that people can remember at a glance!And this meaty leg Lysa perfectly achieves this.

This was so perfect that if he couldn't pass it, Takahashi would want to give up. The Lysa in his mind has now completely transformed into the Lysa in this design, a passionate, energetic, young, with a dark underbelly. , a girl who is passionate about alchemy and helping others.

The story of this fledgling alchemist was like a stream, flowing in his mind. Excellent paintings can arouse the creator's desire to create. This is true. Originally, Takahashi thought he had written a lot. Okay, but after seeing this design drawing, he felt that what he had written before was simply a piece of shit.

This girl deserves a better life - although it was originally expected to be the only one, Takahashi is convinced that when Lysa appears in front of players, this work will already be equivalent to success!

Make the story longer, Lysa's life is not limited to one work!Takahashi non-stop sent the design draft to the art supervisor for review, and then he threw himself into a new round of creation.

But Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't know what he had done, and was still sleeping soundly on the bed——

Chapter 30·Dongcheng Kuaiju’s lucky day

Although the game could not be completed in an hour and a half, Dongcheng Kuaiju's money was sent immediately.Dongcheng Kuaiju couldn't help scratching his head when he saw that there was an extra amount of money in his bank account that he didn't even know how to draw.Although she didn't think much about it at the time, when the money came over, she didn't know what to do with it.

Anyway...give some to the senior sister first?Dongcheng Kuaiju believed that the most important contributor to earning this amount of money was the senior who had experience in this field, so he immediately transferred half of it to the senior’s account. As for the remaining half, she would probably use it to buy Some desserts, after all, Xiao Qiong quite likes to eat such desserts.

Although the artist is inextricably linked to the game, in fact, no matter how popular the game is or whether it is losing money, it has nothing to do with the artist.The design drawings given by the artist are considered a one-time deal, so the money Dongcheng Kuaiju has received now is all the money, a total of 40 yen. After giving 20 yen to the senior, he will only have 20 yen left in his hand. about.

But Dongcheng Kuaiju was in trouble. In a sense, this money was the first money she had ever earned in the industry. She really didn't want to just deposit it in the bank and turn it into a bunch of numbers. Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at it. The feeling of finally having a sum of money in my card that was specially used for painting income is really not something that ordinary people can experience.

But if you don’t save money, what will the money be used for?A big meal?Buy some gifts for friends?If it were in the past, I would probably have sent most of it to my family, but now my parents have pretty good support conditions, so this option is obviously impossible——

Sure enough...it still cost money, right?After conversion, it’s only about 1 yuan, which should be easy to spend, right?

"What a shock. I'm going out in a minute. There's no need to inform Xiaobei. I'm walking around alone." Dongcheng Kuaiju hopped down the stairs to the entrance hall on one foot, then opened the cyber wheelchair and sat on it. After going up, he shouted to the people upstairs.After all, the person responsible for taking care of him in Ma Niangzhuang is a big shocker, so he still has to say something when he goes out.

Theoretically, he should wait for Xiaobei to come and take care of him, but Dongcheng Kuaiju doesn't really want to cause trouble to Xiaobei. He just wants to spend some money and doesn't need an escort or anything.He was only injured on his foot, not paralyzed.After saying that, before she could respond in shock, she drove away in a wheelchair.

By the time Big Shock chased her out, Dongcheng Kuaiju had disappeared. The wheelchair under her accelerated very well, and the Dongcheng Kuaiju quickly moved away from Ma Niangzhuang.She actually hadn't decided where to go yet, but she didn't hesitate for long.

Because on the roadside, she quickly saw a place where she could spend money. There was a scratch-off ticket stall on the roadside. Dongcheng Kuaiju had never bought a scratch-off ticket before, so Dongcheng Kuaiju came immediately. Interest, this kind of thing is very rare. Although it is impossible to spend too much money, the most important thing is the experience.

So Dongcheng Kuaiju stepped forward and swiped his card happily, bought a stack of scratch-off tickets, and drove the wheelchair to the side to start scratching——

"No...no...no..." Dongcheng Kuaiju is just as he thought. It is not difficult to win the scratch lottery. It is rare to win cash. After scratching out fifteen bags of washing powder, Dongcheng Kuaiju has almost felt it. As expected, my money was wasted this time.

Anyway, I already bought it, so let’s just scratch it off... Dongcheng Kuaiju thought to herself, so she scratched off the last scratch-off ticket, but this time it was a bit beyond Dongcheng Kuaiju’s expectation. It was neither a consolation prize nor a thank you for patronage. , but a strange stamp shape. Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at the rules on the back of the scratch-off ticket with some confusion.

"One hundred thousand yen?" Dongcheng Kuaiju blinked. She only spent [-] yen on scratch-off tickets. Could she really win?

Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at the scratch-off ticket in her hand and fell into deep thought. She didn't even think of redeeming the prize. After all, she came out to spend money. Why would she win in this case?As a result, Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't spend the 20 yuan in his hand, but got an extra [-] yuan.

——Forget it, it must be a coincidence.Dongcheng Kuaiju patted his cheek and went forward to exchange it. One hundred thousand yen was actually not much, it was just a little more. He just needed to change the way he spent money.Looking at the increasing numbers in Kali, Dongcheng Kuaiju comforted himself.

My luck has always been bad, but it only shines through occasionally.Dongcheng Kuaiju was still very confident at this point and left the scratch-off booth.Dongcheng Kuaiju followed the shops on the street and came to a shopping mall. The mall seemed to be holding some kind of event. Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't pay attention. She planned to buy something she wanted first, and then ask her senior sister or Lian Help bring it back to Ma Niangzhuang.

With 30 yuan in his pocket, Dongcheng Kuaiju felt that he had enough momentum to enter the mall. Although Dongcheng Kuaiju's posture in a wheelchair made people a little concerned, most people were polite and did not come closer. This still made Dongcheng Kuaiju Kuaiju is quite satisfied.

The feeling of entering a shopping mall is different after she has money. Although she has a small amount of wealth due to the bonus, due to her own planning, she basically only left herself some funds for daily life. In a sense, it is like paying herself a salary every month. After all, no matter how rich she is, her mentality has not changed. She is still the Dongcheng Kuaiju who is generous to her friends and frugal to herself.

Regardless of whether she has money or not, she is still herself, and she doesn't want to change because of this kind of thing.

This time is considered an exception. After all, it is the first time that I have made money from my own hobby. Of course, the feeling is completely different.

You can always spend money in the mall, right?Dongcheng Kuaiju thought confidently, and then began to sweep through the snack area and beverage area, buying all the snacks and drinks that everyone in Ma Niangzhuang might want, and finally dragged two shopping carts in a very difficult way Came to the checkout.

Although even two carts of snacks and drinks probably didn’t cost much, it was the first time for Dongcheng Kuai to do such a lavish shopping trip. She even bought herself a pair of fashionable-looking sunglasses and arrived wearing them. checkout counter.

"Check out, swipe your card." Dongcheng Kuaiju felt that this was the first time she said the word "swipe card" so confidently. After Xiaobei and Xiaozuan said this countless times in front of her, it was finally her turn. She was more or less still I feel the happiness of having money. "Please settle the matter."

"This customer, you are the lucky customer of our mall's fifth anniversary. All the contents of your shopping cart are free of charge! Moreover, our mall has some small gifts for you!" Dongcheng Kuaiju was still giggling, but at the checkout The man in a suit and tie at the counter said with a smile, "We will also help you deliver these products to the location you specify. Please write down the address."

"...?" Dongcheng Kuaiju blinked, "Huh?"

"...Guest? Is something wrong?"

"...Ah...no, that...are you really sure? What kind of lucky customer am I?"

"You are the [-]th customer who came to our mall to shop and check out during the fifth anniversary event. No problem, we have accurately calculated it." As if to respond to Dongcheng Kuaiju's doubts, this man in a suit and leather tie is probably the owner of the mall. The middle-aged man explained. "The [-]th customer has the right to free orders and small gifts. This is the content of today's event."

"...This...is like this." Dongcheng Kuaiju watched silently as the two shopping carts of goods were taken away by enthusiastic waiters, and there seemed to be a special car for delivery.

Dongcheng Kuaiju doesn't understand. He has never picked up coins while walking on the road before. Why can he hit two big prizes in a row today?Did you transport it yourself today?But it cost money to go out. As a result, not to mention spending money on this trip, I didn't even spend a single copper.

"By the way, there is also a cash reward - 40 yen! It has been transferred to your card!" At this time, the middle-aged boss added another blow, and Dongcheng Kuaiju could only say that he had begun to doubt life.Have you ever seen a situation where you couldn’t spend the money you wanted to?Now my bank card has doubled to [-]...

No—this is wrong. How could I have such luck?The unlucky kid Dongcheng Kuaiju was used to being unlucky, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that he had become a lucky star.

"Then please help me send it to Ma Niangzhuang... I have other things to do." Dongcheng Kuaiju felt that she was in a good state today, so she thought of a stable scoring point of her own, and Dongcheng Kuaiju started from there non-stop. I came out of the mall and came to the vending machine next to the park.
