How Am I Still Alive?

Lu Ping'an's life gained a brief peace.

He even felt that these three days were a bit short.

"Yo, are you drawing again?"

"Well, practice."

"...Let me take a look at, uh, this painting is a little tricky."

"Hehe, practice."

After the funds came to an end, he set up an easel, and began to practice sketching and painting on the streets, on the rooftops, and near crossroads.

The painting skills shared by Senior Brother Guan have already reached level 4, but if you really want to turn them into your own skills and be able to draw something casually, you still need to really get started.

Just mastering it a little, Lu Pingan realized that the messy skills can do everything, but when used, they can't do anything.

When drawing the line, if I was not careful, there would be a radian, and the drawing would be in vain.

When I adjusted the color, I had a pretty good mind, and the drawing looked like a clown with only half of the makeup on, or the random graffiti of an eight-year-old child.

After just getting started for a few hours, Lu Pingan was sure that even if he really had the so-called "painting lv4", he would probably be playing random lv0 to lv2.

"If things go on like this, I can't produce a decent work"

Lu Ping'an, when the other conditions have been gradually completed, has already begun to prepare his "art examination works" to complete his second-level advanced ceremony.

However, the progress has been quite subtle.

Lu Pingan also knows how to make up for it. He only needs to take a professional training class and go through it from beginning to end. The scattered experience points, perceptions, and techniques will gradually become his own.

But he has no time.

"Then, let's paint some Impressionism, I'm good at it."

Next to the easels are discarded "paintings".

Lu Ping'an directly used colored paintings similar to oil paintings. Or to be precise, he took an oil paintbrush and splashed paint and colors on it at will.

Judging by the appearance alone, the brushwork is scribbles of the worst kind, with jerky lines and clumsy brushwork.

If you only look at the overly greasy colors, even the teachers in children's art classes will not give it a pass. There are too many bright colors, and they don't pay attention to the matching skills at all.

".interesting."

But for some reason, those gangsters, profiteers, and even petty thieves passing by would stop to take a look.

Color expresses mood.

Red is killing, but with some black and gray, it makes the wreckage struggling in the pool of blood more vivid.

Grey, representing human beings, the thief with blood-red eyes screamed and had his arms cut off, and the gray eyes of the bystanders made people only see indifference.

Black, representing death, is everywhere, the sky, the ground, the human body, and the empty spaces that are left blank are very few.

Yellow represents struggle and survival. There seems to be no difference between the yellow patches on the trailer and the workers in yellow coats below.

Every painting, with poor brushwork, is painful, but everyone living here can see through it at a glance that it is their own painting.

Although the skills are still beginners, the emotional resonance expressed has vaguely reached the extraordinary. In fact, this is the extraordinary.

【Creator (General): I express, I transform, I create.】

Obviously, this is the ability to awaken after "writing (pollution)" lv7, an advancement of the previously vague humanism.

But after I really got started, I realized that the passive ability it provides is probably necessary for all professions such as painters, chess players, contractors, and craftsmen.

It allows your "creation" to exist independently. To put it more utilitarianly, it allows "pollution" to stay in your "creation" longer and more stably.

To put it more bluntly, the existence of pollution sources alone is a prerequisite for the manufacture of polluted and taboo items.

Using this ability, Lu Pingan naturally poured his own "pollution", "emotions" and "thoughts" into it with the ability of "Pen of Pollution".

This is still not a quasi-polluting item, but it is already extraordinary.

Bystanders are evoked with emotional resonance just by witnessing it.

Very shallow and not offensive at all, but this has surpassed the lifelong pursuit of most mortal painters.

He vaguely understands his "Second-Level Examination", so it may not be necessary to produce "an artwork understood by normal humans". What is needed is still to prove your ability to the gods.

"I like this one, how much is it?"

"You can do whatever you want."

After receiving the 10 doornails in his hand, Lu Pingan was a little dazed, he really didn't expect that he would actually make money, it was still a thousand yuan.

The painting that Lu Pingan sold was a figurine of candles melting in the sun. A lot of white was used to pile up the melted wax. The color was very bright and white, but the theme was despair, hope.

Don't ask him why all the paintings are like this, he seems to want to draw some positive energy, and there are no suitable models in this street.

Uh, Lu Pingan tried to use his imagination to draw something that can see (normal) people, but the things that come out have no emotional resonance, and pollution can't be attached to it, it's completely real graffiti.

On the contrary, Lu Pingan picked out paintings with negative themes such as crime, crime, and despair, and compared them one by one. He has already decided to seal up these paintings after returning home, so as not to cause any new troubles.

The person who bought the painting didn't know much about art, let alone appreciate it. He just thought the painting was comfortable for him and wanted to put it in his room.

Forgive me, Lu Pingan continued to be busy.

One or two, anyway, it's just random graffiti, if you don't have any sketches, just color it in. Lu Ping'an's efficiency is very high.

[Gain a small amount of general skills and experience in painting. 】

[Gain a small amount of professional skills and writing (pollution) experience. 】

During this process, his painting experience and professional skills have increased rapidly.

Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that he would enter the industry so quickly, but the "savvy" improved by the silver-level blessing is the root cause of his soaring experience and soaring experience.

The silver-level blessings, the blessings above the fourth level, originated from the incomplete sphinx, and it was the most powerful tool for that "newcomer killer".

By the way, Lu Pingan didn't kill the little elf who cheated him, just because he couldn't beat him. Yes, that's right, he couldn't beat him. That little thing has at least a Tier 4 combat power.

The water in this factory is actually quite deep, but as long as you don't go too far, it's relatively safe.

The blessing of the Sphinx, there is one and only one, and there can be no preparation in advance, it can be regarded as Lu Pingan picked up a big deal.

But even so, Lu Pingan only read the basic teaching materials of painting a little bit, and had no intention of further improving his painting skills.

After all, the material he will really use to "paint" in the future is not serious paint——

['Reading (taboo)' has entered the advanced stage, and the advanced stage has been completed by itself. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the resident blessing of 'Educated (Passive)'. 】

[Potato Scholar (General): Reading a lot of books is only a premise. A true scholar can turn any "knowledge" into his own strength. Comprehensively increase the learning speed and awareness rate of professional skills and professional abilities. 】

It's a very simple description, but I'm afraid that no professional can refuse this gift.

"Scholar is the strongest way." Lu Pingan murmured subconsciously, but was ridiculed by a certain cat.

"The strongest? Let's not talk about how to define the strongest, but a scholar is just a tool profession. The important thing is what you use it to get. Obsessed with the path of a scholar is similar to a writer who is obsessed with word games and regards it as the only main way. Seventy percent are crazy, and twenty percent have joined a cult."

"There's still 10%?"

"The strongest human being is a pure scholar."

Although the answer was irrelevant to the question, Lu Pingan understood.
