If you want to upgrade, you have to get a task, and you can do it when you think of it, Limu returns to the home page of the system, clicks on the new "regular tasks" and "special tasks", and sees a detailed introduction popping up under the task:

[For regular tasks, please purchase a full set of oil painting tools today.] Reward for completing the task: 1 skill start-up coin; Mission Failure Penalty: Lose a skill activation coin. Do you want to pick it up now? 】

[For special tasks, please get the top three in the national level drawing competition, with a time limit of 6 months.] Reward for completing the task: 1 skill start-up gold / free surname point +1 / 1 skill upgrade coin, the reward depends on the completion degree. Mission Failure Penalty: Curse of Mystery. Do you want to pick it up now? 】

- Grass! What a cheat!

Riki couldn't help but curse secretly.

What do you mean by a "full set of oil painting tools"? This concept is not very well defined, does it count as just buying brushes, drawing paper, color palettes, and paints? If there is more, pear wood will not be able to buy it now, such as: heaters, easels, painting benches, painting benches, nail guns, drawing boards, etc.

Buy according to the minimum standard, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet the "full set" of conditions and lead to the failure of the task; According to the highest standard of buying, Limu admits that he can't afford to smash the piggy bank at home.

Said that the task is constant, and I dare not take it!

- Curse of Mystery?

Seeing that these four words in the special mission have hyperlink notes, Riki decided to click on them to check them out first.

[Curse of Mystery: Small Punishment and Great Commandment!] If you fail the mission, you will be cursed by the system, and the chance of getting lost will increase to 90% for 6 months. (Tips: Please go out with an adult)】

――I'm grass, you made me lose 9 times when I went out of the door 10 times!?

A terrible curse of mystery!

Special missions, still not accepted!

At least Riki doesn't dare to take it for the time being, although he has studied manga and drawing, but when it comes to artists or painters, he thinks that he can only be regarded as an entry-level level. Want to win first place at national level? Let's dream now, and it's almost as good as going home and practicing hard for a few years.

However, from the mission, Riki also saw the importance of "upgrade gold". It is said that the regular task rewards the startup gold, and the special mission also rewards the startup gold, and it seems that the skill startup gold should not be difficult to obtain. However, skill upgrade coins are very valuable, and it is estimated that you have to do a perfect job of special tasks to get your hands.

Now Riki is a little regretful that he put the upgrade gold coins into the fine work. In the past, no matter whether you were playing Dota or what game you played, you generally upgraded your active skills first. It costs mana or stamina, but active skills are important in the early stages!

"It's too late to regret, it's too late to regret~"

Riki returned to the classroom with a lot of gains and losses.

Teacher Mo is telling the story of the praying mantis couple, which is very exciting, but Limu did not listen to the class. For the occasional "Students, do you understand?" "Classmates, who knows" and other childish questions, Limu listened to the whole person with goosebumps, especially Lu Wei, who was sitting next to him, dragged a long voice and said, "Old ~~~ teacher~~~!" I~~~Know~~~Dao~~~"

- I want to die!

Because Lu Wei threw away his drawing book, Riki could only take out the exercise book to write ideas.

Now that I've decided to buy comic tools after class and submit them as soon as possible to supplement my family, it's time to plan what I want to draw in the future.

- Original words......

As an idealistic and wise teenager (Riki admits himself), he should submit an original talent to his own appetite. However, past experience has taught him that his originality is difficult to be adopted, and it is best not to waste resources to draw original comics when his current economy is not rich. After being reborn, in order to pursue ideals instead of money, he is already a sword for himself, and if he continues to be paranoid, he will become a "wood" head as his name suggests.

So Riki gave up the original first.

――Pseudo-originality is a good choice, and it is not necessary to copy what is copied from the original.

Riki remembers the web novels that emerged in later generations. Those popular web novels are very suitable for comics. Some of them have ups and downs in their plots and deep content; Some are laughable and easy to understand; Some are ruinous and creative. If you draw comics with these novel themes, it is difficult to say that there will be people who will not fall into them, and they will not have to worry about the copyright problems caused by "bumping shirts".

Riki was a little hesitant in the pseudo-original.

――Since it's all fake, why not just plagiarize?

Plagiarism is the safest way to do it. Many famous comics that used to be popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the mainland, and the book have not yet been published, so it is necessary to publish them before them. For example, "Naruto" was only published next year, "Killing City" was published in 2000, "Fullmetal Alchemist" was published in 2001, "Death" and "Whirlwind Butler" were published in 2004, and "Fate/Stay" was published in 2005

Night", "Fairy Tail" published in 2006...... "**", "Killing City", "Lelouch the Rebellious", "Attack on Titan".

You don't need to write an outline, you don't need to conceive, you can set up a studio, and you can't draw it directly with two or three assistants!

――For the time being, well, it's better to plagiarize for the time being......

Liki weakly decided to.

However, plagiarism should also be particular.

Takeuchi Takahara's "Fate/StayNight", it's a series that belongs to the East, and gal was released in January 04. And Takeuchi Takashi already had the idea of having a magician summon the "Seven Great Angels" when he was in middle school, and Night just turned this idea into a hero, and Zero is a novel work in which Xuan Xuan Yuan completes Fate, which means that someone has already prepared a similar draft at this moment.

Therefore, the publication of comics does not mean that the cartoonist did not have an idea in advance.

They may have been thinking about it for years, but they just haven't put pen to paper. This is not bad, it does not constitute infringement, the original author can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, secretly sighing that he obviously has a good idea, but he is one step slower than others. If the cartoonist already has a manuscript, but has not submitted it or published it, if there is a collision incident, it is a real infringement.

The road to an original manga artist is difficult, and if his family is demolished by the political axe and loses his financial resources, it is difficult for Riki to be sure that he can go down the road of manga artist, and maybe he will eventually give up manga and become a speculative businessman.

For the time being, I can't draw original manga according to my own will!

Think of it.

He resolutely decided to take the path of comic plagiarism first.

He chose to give up the publication of the comics that were too close to 1998, and temporarily set his "debut" as "Fullmetal Alchemist", which would be published three years later!

"Jingle Bell Bell—"

A noisy bell announces the end of the afternoon class, pulling Riki's thoughts back to the classroom.

Teacher Mo is liked by students, never delays class, never punishes students, and even Limu did not mention the stupidity of a class.

When the squad leader heard the bell, he also understood; The leader stood up and shouted loudly:

"Stand up!"

"Goodbye classmates~"

"Goodbye, teacher!"

-- It's almost a ritual goodbye.

Riki thought to himself, but this kind of ritual is the same in Yumoto.

He looked up and watched Teacher Mo walk out of the classroom. Secretly said that the teacher he liked before didn't have much sense of responsibility. Classes are just routine classes, classes are held to earn a monthly salary, and Mr. Mo lives a formulaic life, with the purpose of making money and surviving.

At least...... I don't see that this man's ideal is to be a good teacher. So

-- This man has lost his ideals.

…… So, lost the soul.

A teacher without a soul.

Riki didn't warn him, after all, his path as a manga artist was also oppressed by reality, and he had to take the road of losing his soul and survive like a walking corpse. And now he quickly packed his school bag, ready to buy some tools for his ideals, and the door of his dream is waiting for him to enter.
