A soothing and graceful song "ANYONE-HO-KNO-HAT-LOVE-IS" is looping endlessly. This is Yao Yayao's habit of listening to songs. Usually he will hear that he can memorize the lyrics backwards before switching to a new song.
A pair of small earphone plugs, one end is stuffed into Yao Yayao's ears, and the other end is connected to a laptop. While listening to the song, he was concentrating on studying a book of "Green Style Construction Rules".
This is the late master architect Liang Sicheng's personal monograph, published in 1934. This is a monograph on the architecture of the Sanqing Dynasty. The book describes in detail the layout of the palace-style building of the Sanqing Dynasty, the shape of the bucket, the large wooden frame, the base wall, the roof, the decoration, the color painting, etc., as well as the names, trade-offs and functions of the components.
As a first-year architecture student, Yao Yayao's professional quality and ability are weak, and it is a little too early to study this book. Still, he rose to the challenge.
In the past six months, Yao Yayao has been obsessed with the game world of "Magic University", which comprehensively presents the ancient buildings of many dynasties in history. The exquisite oriental retro-style charm of the buildings began to inspire his infinite interest in pilgrimage to ancient architecture.
Yao Yayao has another purpose for reading this book, that is, this book represents a high level of upgrade points in the game world. It is higher than the total points of the five stacks of a normal architecture book. If this book passes the test, then Yao Yayao will be able to rise to level 30 as he wishes.
Almost a month ago, near the winter break, Yao Yayao's level was level 25, and he was the highest game level among all the first-year students at Xia Nan University of Technology. However, this month's holiday work at Noah's company was very busy, Yao Yayao neglected to upgrade in the game world, and now he has fallen to more than ten places in the first-level ranking list.
The so-called sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Everyone else was trying to read books to improve the level of the game, and he just wasted it for a month, and then immediately fell off the altar.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. Well, that's still very philosophical.
Therefore, in order to upgrade as soon as possible, Yao Yayao can only choose to do a big vote, and he has to choose a partial architectural specialist book with a high upgrade point value. Therefore, he picked this monograph by Master Liang Sicheng to read.
This is Yao Yayao's personal room at home. On his desk was the laptop he had received from Noah's company, and the screen was lit up. The phone was also placed on the table, and it was turned to silent and the screen was placed upside down. When Yao Yayao was reading, he didn't want any interference, so he didn't bother to read any mobile phone messages.
If he puts his phone right at this time, he will find that there are a lot of friend messages in his personal Wei signal. Also, there were many missed calls. However, Yao Yayao didn't know anything about it.
In addition to Yao Yayao's "Rules for Green Construction", which he was concentrating on, there was also a stack of manuscript paper scattered on the desk. On some manuscript papers, there are some sketches of the interior and exterior of buildings that Yao Yayao has copied by hand according to the standard drawings in the book; There is also a personal and humble portrait of Master Liang Sicheng painted by Yao Yayao and painted in pencil, which looks a little similar at a cursory glance.
Yao Yayao carefully made a fine comparison between a hand-drawn draft of the "Rotor Color Painting Distribution Method" and a handmade draft of Master Liang Sicheng in the book, and then shook his head. In terms of delicacy, as well as the fineness of the lines, my own is simply miserable, completely incomparable!
The master is really a master, and he knows whether there is or is not as soon as he makes a move!
In that old era when there was no computer drawing assistance at all, Liang Sicheng was able to draw handmade architectural drawings so vividly and vividly on paper, and Liang Sicheng deserved to be the leading master of the national architectural industry in the past!
Today is the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year during the Spring Festival.
In this old-fashioned community where Yao Yayao lives, the taste of "New Year's flavor" is not very strong. However, if he pushes the window and looks out, he will see that there are many children dressed up beautifully in the community, and all kinds of fireworks are being set off passionately and noisily.
On some roads farther away, there are some local folk parades on the Flower Street, some gong and drum teams, English song teams, etc., which will also parade through the streets from time to time, and then attract a large number of neighbors to watch the excitement.
However, these lively activities from the New Year have nothing to do with Yao Yayao. With a headphone cable stuffed in his ears, he turned a deaf ear to all the excitement outside, just staying at home with peace of mind and being an otaku who reads quietly.
The last time he was looking for Fang Xiaoyi in Qinghua City in the game world, he saw a lot of first-level students in Qinghua City, and their personal levels were above level 30. This stimulated his competitive spirit. He couldn't tolerate his game level, and he was still below level 30 at this time. He has to make a breakthrough quickly, so he can't fall too far behind!
Yao Yayao turned the book in his hand to a new page. Then, he saw a plan of the delicately painted water pavilion promenade with glazed latticework. I don't know why, he suddenly felt that the drawing of the water pavilion in front of him was very familiar no matter how he looked at it.
Yao Yayao was in a trance for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that in the game world, in his mother city, in the city of "Xiagunda", next to a lake, there was a scene of a rest pavilion, which was simply the same format as the drawing of this scene in this book, according to the map.
In order to verify that his memory was not wrong, Yao Yayao casually landed in the game world of "Magic University" on the laptop computer on the desk, intending to make a specific comparison.
I just landed in the game world, and a series of continuous rings of "Dididi" prompted a lot of friend messages.
Yao Yayao saw that most of them were his college roommates, Pang Zi's personal messages. For example, what "Boss, is it not?" "One hundred thousand urgent!" "Reply to me as soon as you see it" or something. Or maybe it's some emoji that represents a time of crisis.
Yao Yayao saw that the other party seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't bother to look at the classical pavilion corridor by the lake. Yao Yayao hurriedly replied with a few words: "I'm here... What's going on like this?! Bad luck for New Year's gambling? Don't have money for the New Year? ”
Pang Zi's avatar suddenly brightened, and the other party immediately replied: "Boss Yao, why don't you answer the phone and don't look at Wei Xin?" I've called you more than a dozen times this afternoon! ”
Yao Yayao picked up the mobile phone on the desk with the screen down and looked at it, and sure enough, there were many missed calls from Pang Zi. There is also one from another roommate, Huang Jie.
Yao Yayao replied in the game world: "I'm busy reading books and upgrading!" The winter vacation is busy with work, and the upgrade lags a lot, so now I have to hurry up to the level! ”
Pang Zi replied: "I'm looking for you with 100,000 fires, and it's also because of this level-rushing thing!" Huang Jie and I have already bought our high-speed rail tickets for tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we're going to school. I would like to ask if you would like to come along. Our iron buddy triangle, how can we miss your important corner! ”
Yao Yayao was stunned on the spot, and he didn't react at half-sound. He finally figured out the situation, and responded by typing semi-mechanically:
"Going to school at this time?! You two have funny heads?! Tomorrow is the fourth day of the new year, and this New Year is not over, you said that you two will go to school to report immediately?! Dude, you two drank the wrong pesticides, right?! Are you sure you two didn't get drunk and mess around?! Or is it crazy for some sheep?! ”
Pang Zi's few words were like a thunderbolt, which simply thundered Yao Yayao on the spot!
What kind of neurosis is this?!
At this time, Yao Yayao almost wanted to foam at the mouth and fell on the spot! He was shocked.
