When Ye Lingxing and Ban Yao discussed the advantages and disadvantages of various aspects of the future of excellence, they did not express any opinions on Guan Li, who knew nothing about music.

He just thought, "Ah, this song is good".

Look at these lyrics that have been changed directly from the live speech, worthy of a world-renowned citizen scientist, this level of speech!

See you late!

It's a pity that it's dead

I can only commemorate the comfort of the chat.

"Okay, Forbidden Yao has no problem with selling the rights to use the single, but asks to see the game content first. ”

At the same time that Guan Li was happily swiping his mobile phone, Ye Lingxing had already negotiated the conditions.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple, why should you refuse the business cooperation sent to the door?" Ye Lingxing said that if you have a relationship, you can really do whatever you want.

This is where the network comes in.

Guan Li put down his phone and leaned over to look at their chat history, "Have you made it clear?" The current BGM is most likely only for temporary use, and it will be completely replaced later. ”

"To be clear, no problem. "How could Ye Lingxing ignore such an obvious thing.

"Talk about it after that"

"I gave him your contact information, come on. ”

Guan Li looked at the new friend application, and clicked "agree" after a pause, but in his heart he was calling for his plug-in, "System, it's time for you to behave." ”

The system is full of "emmmm", so all these contracts and agreements and other things are naturally handled by it?

Guan Li asked rhetorically: "Otherwise?"

The system instantly succumbed to power: "Okay, I got it." "You're an administrator, you're awesome!

Anyway, if there is something, let the system do it, and if there is nothing to do, let the system do it.

It has understood its place.

He's an all-round butler!

However, Guan Li, who successfully pushed the task of forbiddenness to the system, failed to escape the job in the end.

Because Black Gold has finally climbed the line to find him.

With his finished basemap of the Cthulhu website, as well as the first draft of the concept of Azathoth, the tallest "god" in the Cthulhu Cosmology, the "Source Core of Primordial Chaos".

Black Gold: "This time, I drew exactly the original text you gave!"

Divine will: "I'll take a look first"

The black gold is all the original pictures, the volume is not small, and the mobile phone was stuck when the switch was opened.

The first one is supposed to be the Impressionist Cthulhu universe that is going to be used as the basemap for the site.

The reason why I say "should"

It's all because the whole picture is so different from what he saw before.

If it weren't for the familiar feeling of a few scribbles of chaotic shadows, Guan Li would even suspect that it was Black Gold's conscience that helped redraw one.

No, it's just a redraw!

Divine Will: "This is still the picture you showed me earlier?"

Heijin: "Didn't you say you could use it?" I changed it a little bit, and you don't have any comments when the whole drawing is finished, right?"

Divine Will: "Just 'changed it a little'?"

Looking at this tone, Heijin speculated that he was another party who didn't understand the industry, and explained quite skillfully: "The main job is to finish it, which took so much time." After all, what you're showing you is only an unfinished product, which is roughly a draft or something like that, and the difference between a finished product and a draft is still very big. ”

Divine Will: "I thought it was the finished product." ”

Heijin: "Why should I send the finished product directly? If I don't meet the requirements, won't it be a waste of several days of hard work?"

Divine Will: "Seems to make sense." ”

Guan Li really doesn't know the specific steps of the commercial draft, but it makes sense to read the draft first and confirm the operation of the opinion step by step.

A lot of embarrassing situations can be avoided.

It's just that what surprised him was - was the impression picture that had become its own style just a draft?

What kind of standard is the "degree of completion" in the eyes of these painters?

"Degree of completion?" Black Gold thought about it for a moment before saying, "Let's put it this way, that draft, from the idea to the final, it only took me six hours. And because it has to show a confused impression, you don't need to pay too much attention to the details, and it's easy to write. ”

"But it took me three days to perfect this draft, to turn all the messy lines and unclear ideas into concrete shapes and colors. ”

The more you get to the later stage, the more you need to pay attention to the details of the modification.

Later modifications, at least for black gold, are particularly important.

"See the subtleties in the real chapter, you have given all the money, I can't be perfunctory, right? Fortunately, now you can draw on the computer, what is wrong can be revoked and restarted, if you paint on paper, I don't know how many manuscripts to scrap. "Black gold speaks sincerely, to show conscience.

Divine Will: "The first one takes three days, which means that it will take you half a day at most to draw the next one of Azathoth?"

Black Gold: "Draft, draft, uh, you can see the composition and the overall style." ”

The second picture really perfectly practices the word "draft" in the mouth of Black Gold.

If the previous one was deliberately painted in order to show the color of the environment, this one is a pure line drawing.

But I don't know if I was frightened by the threat that Guan Li would not give money in front of him.

This time, he was honestly painting according to Azathoth's description.

Originally, the description was not very beautiful, so a painting-

Okay, it's more disgusting.

God's will: "It looks very much in line with what was written on the original case"

Black Gold: "This ellipsis gives me a sense of foreboding. ”

God's will: "Don't you think it's too realistic? Pointing to this disgusting cluster of meat pieces and saying that it is God? Readers won't buy it!"

Black Gold: "But that's what you gave me"

Divine Will: "You draw a 'god', even if it's really just a monster with no self-consciousness and only runs on instinct, it has to show the characteristics that match the setting!"

Black Gold: "So, what are you going to change?"

Divine Will: "Showing beauty, as the beauty of fear that cannot look directly into the unknown." ”

Black Gold: "Unknown beauty?"

Divine Will: "Yes. ”

"I think you're embarrassing me!

Guan Li didn't get a timely response, waited two minutes and then sent a message, "Can't you do it?"

"It's a bit of a wait for me to think about it, are you sure you want the setting art? Aren't the setting drawings as concise and easy to understand as possible?" Faced with such a theme that he has never touched before, it is difficult for Heijin to grasp its pulse, "It's too complicated for me to write, okay." ”

"It's hard to feel" Guan Li can understand his predicament.

Only a rough description of the world and the background setting make him feel the core of Cthulhu and understand the essence of Luo-style terrorism, which is indeed a bit difficult.

Now there are no specific horror stories for Black Gold to watch

Guan Li suddenly remembered the pile of information he had just swiped on his phone, "Do you know Carl Roland?"

"You know, I've bought quite a few of his books. ”

"Then you should know his purpose. ”

Black Gold was stunned for a moment, "You mean—"

Carl Rowland is described as "his gaze is always on the distance, on the invisible future." ”

He believed that humanity had found a long and far-reaching path to heaven, a future path to truth and ultimateness.

It's called science.

Carl Rolland advocates the exploration of nature, but also advocates the integration of science and nature.

He believes that the grandeur of the universe is something to be celebrated, and to see this scene and to be part of it is a hymn to humanity itself.

Science is a double-edged sword, and human beings should not be afraid of it, but only need to control it, control nature, and control everything.

"You know this kind of thinking, now, turn it upside down. "Guan Li leads Black Gold to think," Carl Rolland believes that reason is worth following and science is worth believing, while Cthulhu is the complete opposite. ”

Lovecraft's sense of fear comes from the grandeur of the universe, which scientists have praised.

Because that's uncontrollable, unknowable.

Individual humans are too small to be mentioned on this blue planet.

And the entire human race is so small that it means nothing to the universe.

What is the purpose of our existence?

What is the significance of scientific development?

The unknown of chaos, the fear of the unknown.

Bottomless, unsupported.

Such a huge and small extreme disparity, if all of them were to be revealed, the sense of disparity and despair would completely destroy a person's will.

Reason, in such a situation, is only a tool that only adds to suffering.

The more you understand what kind of hopelessness lies ahead, the closer you are to the abyss.

This is Cthulhu's original and most eternal theme: the more you know, the crazier, and the less you know, the more settled.

In the final analysis, the Cthulhu Mythos is just a manifestation of humanity's fear of technological development, a reverie of an unknowable future.

Those beings who are far beyond human beings are only vague images in the book, representing truth and misfortune where there is no distinction between good and evil.

And this fear is so "real".

Fear that technology is out of control, that humanity is dominated by technology, and that science in turn destroys civilization

This is a double flower that blooms above reason, hope and despair.

It is precisely because of this ideological core that a bunch of so-called "gods" and aliens have been written, and the "Cthulhu Mythos" has become more and more like a strange in the development of the times, which is still a science fiction story in essence.

The "gods" in that cannot be explained scientifically.

Because they are science itself.
