Chapter 48: Mechanical Succubus And Uncle Party
They chatted casually all the way out of the Car Exhibition and bid farewell to the motorcycle taxi driver.
And exchanged contact information.
On the way back to North Street District by taxi, he unexpectedly received a call from Master Sister, which reminded him that he still had such a Master.
“Good Disciple, what are you doing? You haven’t come to consult your Master for so many days; you’re making your Master feel like she has no presence at all!” Xue Lingling’s voice carried a hint of resentment.
“Uh, I’ve gotten used to exploring on my own,” Wu Xian gave an awkward laugh, “In the future, I’ll directly consult you if there’s anything I don’t understand.”
“That’s more like it,” Xue Lingling said contentedly: “The Club will officially open the day after tomorrow; come show your face, don’t be late.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, I’m sending you the inheritance thoughts for the major Ghost Kings; study them on your own first,” Xue Lingling continued: “Later, I’ll give you an Authorized Original Copy, and us master and disciple will work hard together to strive to make the Club big and strong as soon as possible!”
“Ah?”
Although Wu Xian wasn’t interested in her set of Ghost King Scroll Paintings, her immediate offer of an Authorized Original Copy truly made him feel somewhat flattered.
Was this cheap Master so generous?
Or was there some trick behind it?
While he was puzzled, the call had already ended, and the complete inheritance conception for the Ghost King Series Scroll Painting arrived via WeChat.
This was his first time encountering the scroll painting inheritance and thought process of this world; not bad, Master Sister’s Ghost King Series was quite interesting.
It even vaguely gave him a sense of déjà vu; the overall thought process and setting framework seemed to coincide somewhat with the various Ghost Kings recorded in 《Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Original Vow Sutra》.
“Coincidence?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but ponder deeply.
It’s not strange for similar images and figures to appear in different mythology systems, after all, human imagination is interconnected.
There’s a saying that goes well: humans cannot imagine things they’ve never seen.
Therefore, a Scroll Painter’s scroll painting conception naturally cannot escape the influence of everyday sights and experiences.
But the déjà vu and degree of similarity in Xue Lingling’s thought process were too high, almost catching up to Sister Tiao’s secondary creation 【Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine】.
“Or is it related to the Xue Family’s inheritance information?”
This sparked Wu Xian’s strong interest in the Xue Family behind Xue Lingling.
Back to North Street District.
He simply drew according to Xue Lingling’s conception.
As a painter who had once been a nuclear-powered workhorse at an outsourcing Company, learning and mastering Xue Lingling’s set of paintings was extremely easy.
But while painting, he always had an impulse to make some changes.
Not only did he want to adjust the Ghost King’s image and art style, but even the entire conception.
After learning it, once he got Xue Lingling’s Authorized Original Copy later, making copies and rubbings for her would definitely be no problem, though due to differences in pigment mixing, it might deviate somewhat from what Xue Lingling painted by hand.
But he could definitely produce it.
“Tsk~ So you want me to be the workhorse?”
Wu Xian gradually understood.
With the quality of Xue Lingling’s set of scroll paintings, future sales volume would definitely be substantial, and she certainly wouldn’t be able to handle it all herself by then.
If that’s the case, then don’t blame the Disciple for having poor aptitude and being unequal to the task.
Of course, if Master Sister was willing to give him a share of the profit, he would be very happy to be the workhorse.
Making money isn’t shameful.
“But speaking of which, if this scroll painting conception is related to 《Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Original Vow Sutra》, perhaps it can be verified.”
Wu Xian’s eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately began organizing his thought process and mixing the corresponding pigments.
Moments later, based on his own conception of the Ghost Kings in 《Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Original Vow Sutra》, he tried drawing on practice drawing paper.
Bang!
Just halfway through drawing, the practice drawing paper shattered with a bang.
He adjusted the pigments and thought process, continued trying, but still collapsed halfway.
It was as if an invisible barrier was blocking him from drawing this scroll painting.
“Copyright occupied?”
Wu Xian inhaled a sharp breath, then tried drawing the official 【Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine】, and sure enough, the result was the same.
In an instant, his scalp went numb.
It seemed necessary to find an opportunity to probe Master Sister.
In the evening, Grandfather Wu Mingchang returned from his stroll.
“Eh~ Grandfather is in a good mood today; did you remember something?”
The Old Master’s complexion and energy were clearly much better than usual.
“I did remember some things, but still not the key ones,” the Old Master’s eyes held a bit more depth, “Don’t worry unnecessarily; just focus on your own business.”
Wu Xian didn’t ask more.
After dinner, he was pulled by the Old Master for some training.
The night passed in cultivation.
Early the next morning, he received a video call from Tang Zhenghong and his son.
Exploded! Exploded!
Brother Pillar’s order completely exploded.
Even though Tang’s Vehicles clearly stated staggered limited releases, it still couldn’t stop the enthusiasm of the masses.
As he expected, Brother Pillar’s appearance was a dimensional reduction strike on this world’s vehicle industry.
The low-end vehicle industry, originally aimed at the civilian circle, now exploded among the middle-class Spirit Tamers, and even the Scroll Painter forum was flooded with Brother Pillar’s posts.
Although the market for heavy trucks is small, Brother Pillar also has Robot Form, making it excellent as a battle scroll painting.
The key is that our Brother Pillar is handsome! And the kind of handsome that fits the public aesthetics!
Sure enough, Scroll Painting Network already had Brother Pillar’s information atlas.
【Autobots Leader-Optimus Prime】 Copper Axis Scroll Painting
Rating: None yet
Introduction: Not very familiar yet, but the author just wants to say awesome!
Since there are no official users yet, it can’t be rated temporarily, but the comment section below the information atlas is already full.
“As expected of Scroll Painting Network; just saw the news, and it’s already here.”
“Any friends on-site? Please share more pictures!”
“Golly~ A scroll painting that can serve as a vehicle and transform into a humanoid battle mechanical; what genius conception?”
“The key is it’s freaking handsome! Explosively handsome.”
“Handsome yes, but hope it’s not just for show.”
“Awesome! Awesome!”
“Numb, the official site crashed; can’t buy at all.”
“High price acquisition, PM if interested, phone 189*******”
“What about battle performance? Any insiders leak some info.”
“Who cares, handsome is enough!”
“With this appearance, just as a display it’s pleasing to the eye!”
“Yaoyang City Tang’s Vehicles? Never heard of it.”
“No worries if unheard; it’ll definitely be the world’s top Car Company in the future, I say!”
“Heard it’s an original by the crown prince of Tang’s Vehicles, and he’s just an Apprentice Scroll Painter.”
“Only Apprentice? Genius!”
“I have a feeling this person might lead the rise of Mechanical System scroll paintings.”
“Mine Bosses must be going crazy.”
“Done for; with Mine Bosses making moves, when will it be our turn as ordinary people?”
“Compared to Optimus Prime, other mechanical scroll paintings are all crooked melons and split dates.”
“Total mechanical succubus!”
“Anyone grouping up to line up in Yaoyang City? Make a quick buck first.”
“Scalpers suck!”
Looking at the heated discussions and comments on Scroll Painting Network, Wu Xian seemed to already smell the endless aura of wealth.
Gotta say, one comment was right; Brother Pillar really counts as a “mechanical succubus”.
But since this world has the concept of succubus, are there really succubus scroll paintings?
He’d look into it properly later.
Although it wasn’t convenient to stand in the spotlight temporarily, as the true original creator, Wu Xian still hoped to participate.
So he decisively transformed into Uncle Party and posted a comment in the atlas discussion area, starting self-praise mode.
《Internal Information: Brother Pillar’s Five Dimensions test data》
Then uploaded a few refined beauty shots of Brother Pillar.
Finally adding: Don’t ask where the data comes from; my uncle is a leader at Tang’s.
