If you fall into the middle of the road......

――Even if the family is in the middle of the road.

Even if the house is dilapidated!

――I want to be a manga artist too!!

Riki shouted like a storm deep inside.

Just listen, ding! A bang.

A soft sound sounded in Riki's head, and an interface similar to a computer screen was suddenly projected three feet in front of him.

"Wow!"

Frightened by the sudden image, Riki jumped onto the sofa with a soft snort. The flat Santana wasn't very spacious at all, and with a flick of the spring, he hit the roof with a "bang".

"Son, what's wrong? You okay? A short cry from Riki brought back her mother's thoughts about whether to buy a house.

But it doesn't matter to her whether she is attentive or not. Just like pedaling a bicycle, Li Xiuli, who has been driving for several years, can drive without thinking. At this time, she happened to pass through the Nanhua Bridge, and there was no place to park temporarily, so she could only turn the speed to the slowest speed and let her son sit back in his position safely.

"No, it's fine." Riki sat in his seat and waved his hand.

- Like, Mom can't see it?

The projection of the square frame that appeared before his eyes, or the phantom, seemed to be visible only to him. At least as it stands, for the time being, it can be concluded that the mother cannot see it.

Riki didn't move, trying not to make any movements that would make her mother feel strange or suspicious, leaning back on the sofa and looking at the car window to the right, pretending to look at the river outside. In fact, he was experimenting with whether the screen-like phantom would follow his gaze. As expected, the electronic phantom followed his gaze and shifted its bearings.

- The ultimate painter system?

Riki, who noticed the words in the upper left corner of the screen, was a little speechless.

For a while, he had read novels and knew that there was something called Goldfinger!

He prayed that the electronic phantom in front of him was not his cranial fantasy, only to see Riki's personal name displayed in the lower left corner of the phanthropus; The dialog box in the middle has a green sign that says "Beginner's Mission"; There is a narrowed skill bar option on the right; The scroll bar at the top reads "Welcome to the Ultimate Painter System, Your Use is Our Greatest Support, Product No. A.D.21401.0".

――A.D. should mean "A.D.", is A.D.2140 a product produced 142 years later? That's right, there should be brainwave technology and virtual projection technology at that time.

Limu quietly put the skill bar, and four options popped up on the screen.

Single-minded Lv0: Active skill, now level zero, please upgrade the skill and use it again.

Seiko Lv0: Passive skill, now it is level zero, please upgrade the skill and use it again.

Image projection lv0: Active skill, now level zero, please upgrade the skill and use it again.

Divine Pen Lv0: Action Skill, now it is level zero, please upgrade the skill and use it again.

Riki immediately rose up with a kind of "I don't know, but I feel amazing!" The welfare of the reborn is truly extraordinary.

I tried to call the system in my heart, but it didn't respond several times, and I think that even if by 2140, brainwave technology and virtual technology are mature, artificial intelligence should still be listed as a prohibited project. He secretly ticked a few pages with his fingers, and by the way, he received the "Novice Experience Task", and after discovering that this system was not his fantasy, the previous entanglement was suddenly swept away.

It can be turned on or off, and you are satisfied!

"Mom, don't be too anxious about what I'm talking about..."Riki said earlier that the family was to let her mother have psychological pressure, so that she could turn the pressure into motivation, and then decide to take out a loan from the bank to buy a house.

“… When the policy comes out, housing prices must first have a slow improvement stage, and most people will recognize the fact that housing prices will rise before housing prices soar, as long as they take out loans before the banks plug the loan loopholes. Now he didn't want his mother to be under so much pressure, so he pretended to be confident and said: "Money is such a thing, with your son's ability, you can earn as much as you want." ”

"King of big talk, how can money be so easy to earn." Limu's mother said it, but there was something in her heart, no one would think that she had a lot of money, and the most important thing was to get rid of the predicament of her family's low status.

"It's because it's hard to make money and realize your dreams, so it's hard to juggle it in life." Limu looked up to the sky and sighed.

"People are small and ghosts are big." Li Xiuli muttered. No matter what way I look at my son's behavior today, I can't help asking, "Tell Mom, do you really have a heart attack?" ”

"Guess~" Riki replied in a flirtatious tone. I remember that on the way back, my mother asked, "Did you tell your mother that my heart was beating fast?" Is it uncomfortable? Now, after listening to what she said, my mother apparently thinks that she has the ability to judge whether she has a heart attack, so she is not turning around the corner and asking questions.

Riki avoided answering, just to make the atmosphere relaxed and not to worry her mother so much.

The two mothers and sons didn't say anything all the way, crossed the bridge and drove up the river embankment, and went down a long and smooth ramp, which entered Pingnan Village in Limu.

In the evening, when his father came back from gambling, he asked how the examination was going, which made Riki a little relieved. The mother's answer was that the hospital did not check the condition, and told the doctor that irregular heartbeat is a common symptom in teenagers and does not need to be too worried.

Riki's father laughed when he heard this, saying that he had also been sick when he was a teenager and had never been sick again. As far as Riki knows, both his grandfather and father had a fast heartbeat when they were young, but the two of them ran and jumped and drank, and they did not have heart disease symptoms until their later years.

Riki thought to himself, back then, his heart disease was not taken seriously and was delayed until the second year of junior high school before the operation, the bottom was because they did not get sick as an adult, and they thought that they would be fine when they became adults.

In fact, Riki's incidence of illness during middle school was higher than they expected, and she had two illnesses when she walked up the stairs to the third floor, almost to the point where she could not have surgery.

After entering his room at nine o'clock in the evening, Riki called up the control interface again and clicked on the details of the "Novice Experience Mission" in the room.

[Please complete a recognizable pencil sketch within one month of receiving the task.] Reward for completing the task: 1 gold coin for skill starting, 1 gold coin for skill upgrade, +1 spirit, and penalty for failure of the mission: 1,000 pencil sketches are forced.

"Pencil sketches...... It's no wonder it's a green mission, except that I haven't drawn it for a long time, it's not difficult for me at all. Riki muttered.

According to Limu's experience in playing games, most of the tasks in the game are divided into difficulties by color, green is "easy for the current level, easy to complete", yellow is "difficult for the current level, but there is a certain chance to complete", and red is "dangerous, extremely difficult to complete!" ”

He also noticed that the name of the system was "Ultimate Artist" rather than "Ultimate Manga Artist", but since it was a system about drawing, the skills in it must be related.

When it comes to pencil sketching, Riki is the most familiar.

The pencil is the most basic tool for drawing, and everyone who draws at an early age probably uses a pencil at first.

Drawing is the most basic art, especially watercolor, oil painting, printmaking, engraving, and graphic design.

Although I have never been exposed to watercolor, oil painting, printmaking, or engraving, I have been exposed to the basic painting method of combining "pencil" and "sketch".

When he was working, Riki had enrolled in a training course. The teacher of the painting class of the training class once said to him: the pencil is the most basic painting tool, and sketching is a formal artistic creation. The combination of pencil and sketch is the most basic artistic creation. Even if monochrome lines are used to represent things in the intuitive world, they can also express ideas, concepts, attitudes, feelings, fantasies, symbols, and even higher abstract forms.

Of course, if you want to express abstraction, it is best to create with blended paints. Oil painting is the best carrier of abstraction......

Riki's 8-year-old little head carries the knowledge he has worked hard to learn in his previous life, but he has not been able to dream of it, and gradually enters his sweet dreamland.

It was Tuesday, May 19, 1998.

Little Riki is determined to pursue his ideals.

The second day of a new life.
