Gu Jiaming looked at the suddenly extra app on the interface of his mobile phone with wide eyes, he scratched his head, he didn't seem to have downloaded this app in his impression, could it be automatically loaded when he used Thunderbolt to play a small movie?
Gu Jiaming, who originally wanted to delete the matter, almost clicked in, and the mobile phone screen immediately dimmed. Just when Gu Jiaming wanted to force restart, several options suddenly popped up on the screen.
With the exception of the first [Manga Artist Assistant], the rest of the options show [????? ]。 Curious, Gu Jiaming clicked on the only option that could be chosen, and three options popped up on the phone screen again, namely:
[Story Manga Artist's Path]
[Path of a Girl Manga Artist]
There is also the same unoptional [??????? ], without hesitation, he chose [Story Cartoonist Road], because Gu Jiaming is really not interested in girl comics or anything, and hot-blooded action is his favorite.
"Welcome to the Cartoonist Assistant, which will help you become a great cartoonist who can make your readers happy."
After reading the manual, Gu Jiaming understood the function of this so-called cartoonist's assistant, which was very similar to a game he had played before, or simply plagiarized. It's just that this says that the cartoonist's assistant can really assist the holder to become an excellent cartoonist, Gu Jiaming just takes it as a joke, and now the game is not all done in real life.
Boredom, Gu Jiaming started to play this game, and after choosing to draw a comic, a window with the option of the type of work automatically popped up on the screen. There are only three settings that can be selected in the early stage, namely: combat comics, moving comics, and suspense comics. And there are only four themes: fighting, family, monsters and basketball. There are quite a lot of background stages to choose from, including classrooms, apartments, stadiums, companies and the sea.
There is also an option for knowledge points at the bottom, Gu Jiaming added all the only 25 points in one go, and chose the combat comics, and the theme was naturally chosen fighting, as for the background, Gu Jiaming hesitated for a while, but still chose the sea, because it felt that it would be smoother.
After pressing the OK button, there is an additional progress bar at the top of the screen, which also indicates the time required - 23:59 in 3 days. Looking at the slow-moving progress bar, Gu Jiaming wanted to speed up the time, but found that the phone was suddenly stuck, and there was no response. Hold down the shutdown button to force a reboot, but there is still no response at all.
Sure enough, this game is toxic, and I know that I shouldn't use my phone to play a small movie, okay, I've been tricked! In anger, Gu Jiaming threw the mobile phone directly on the table, waiting for it to automatically shut down after it ran out of power, and if it didn't work, he could only take it out and repair it.
Maybe it was because he was too sleepy, while waiting, Gu Jiaming fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Opening his hazy sleepy eyes, the first thing Gu Jiaming did was to reach out and touch the mobile phone placed on the bedside. After pressing the power button a few times, the phone still didn't respond, and he remembered that the phone seemed to have been infected with a virus last night, which should be automatically turned off when the battery ran out.
After scratching his head, Gu Jiaming connected the phone to the charger, and it turned on automatically after a while, and then ...... He was dumbfounded again, because the interface of the mobile phone was still stuck on the cartoonist's assistant last night, but the progress bar on the top changed from 0 to 10, and it seemed that he could only use it to repair, and he originally wanted to save that money.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and then there was a roar like a lion in Hedong: "Gu Jiaming! You've been in arrears for two months, and if you don't pay it, I'll have to find someone to pry the door! I know you're at home, get the hell out of here! ”
Gu Jiaming, who had just stretched out his legs and was about to get out of bed, instantly froze on the side of the bed, come on, don't think about going out today. The charter wife is outside, and if she catches her, it must be another roar, although she may not really drive herself out, but if she catches her, it will be a trouble.
In the end, Gu Jiaming sighed, boarded the computer, found the account number of the charter wife in Penguin Payment, transferred 300 yuan to her, and left a message saying that he was outside during this time, and he would make up the rent immediately when he went back. This is also something that can't be helped, originally as an Internet writer, although he doesn't earn millions a month like those big gods, he has thousands of yuan a month, barely holding on, at least he won't starve to death.
It's just that some time ago, there was a sudden big purge on the website where he worked, and a bunch of novels involving sensitive topics were 404, and Gu Jiaming's book was one of them. Fortunately, what he was harmonized with was only being updated, although his income was less than three-quarters, and there were still old books that could provide him with some manuscript fees, so that he would not be without a fee. Compared to some unlucky ghosts, I wrote eight books, and all eight of them were 404, which is not much better.
It was precisely because of this incident that Gu Jiaming's life suddenly became embarrassed, so much so that he couldn't pay the rent of 1,000 yuan a month. Although the charter wife is fierce, she is only a knife mouth and tofu heart, this is the second time he has urged after delaying for more than two months, and he has been kicked out by another landlord.
However, after giving the charter wife 300 yuan, Gu Jiaming had no money in his hands, and the idea of repairing his mobile phone was also frustrated, but fortunately, he had hoarded a batch of grain before. In the next time, he will have to work hard to find a job, and in addition to writing novels, he can't leave behind, which is one of his hobbies, and it would be even better if he could meet a buyout!
……
After four days like this, Gu Jiaming has either been busy looking for a job in the past few days, or sitting in front of the computer coding words, eating instant noodles with boiling water every day, washing with water, or eating dry, and he has made several ways to eat simple instant noodles, and he is also a talent.
After returning from the interview outside that day, Gu Jiaming sat in front of the computer and coded words for two hours, and when he finished updating the daily code, he was so tired that he couldn't care if the clothes on his body were dirty or not, so he collapsed directly on the bed.
Modern people have a problem, they always like to look at their mobile phones before going to bed, and Gu Jiaming is no exception. Although his phone has hung up, he still has a hint of fantasy, what if the phone automatically recovers!
It's still the same cartoonist's assistant interface, but this time it's different, the original progress bar is gone, and it's replaced by a new window with three options on it.
Deposit, submit, and participate.
Gu Jiaming subconsciously pressed the option of saving the manuscript, thinking that there would be no reaction, but there was an unexpected situation.
