Chapter 34 Human-Created Value
Qiao Xiu found a very familiar thing in this alchemy workshop, which could be said to be one of the things that Qiao Xiu used to eat on the earth...... That's the 'sketch tablet'.
It is with the advent of the hand-drawn tablet that the Internet on the earth has officially entered the era of big painting, and various folk CG gods have emerged in an endless stream, and a large number of excellent CG works have begun to appear one after another.
Qiao Xiu's fingertips slid over the pale blue cube, the cube emitted a faint shimmer, unknown inscriptions began to emerge on the surface, and the interface of the painting was presented in the form of an inscription projection.
This experience of use made Qiao Xiu can't believe that he is in the era of transportation or horse-drawn carriages, which... On Earth, it is definitely a painting experience that can only be had when humans move to space.
Maybe it's already been done on Earth? Qiao Xiu had previously tried an AR device at Google's headquarters, and when he put it on, he was able to draw in the surrounding space at will.
With a blank sheet of paper and a paintbrush, it was certainly necessary for Qiao Xiu, as a 'big tentacle', to try this way of drawing that spanned centuries.
In just ten minutes, Qiao Xiu quickly sketched the image of an elf, with sharp eyes and a figure that would make all women look up.
This elf is a character that most players on Earth will be familiar with, and that is Sylvanas Windranger, the queen of the Forsaken in World of Warcraft.
What Qiao Xiu sketched was just a rough line drawing, but the function of this interface is quite powerful, at least it has the most basic coloring function.
As Joshua sketched out Sylvanas' line drawings, Ciri and Herlan also walked out of the cubicle.
"Because this magic machine is so amazing, I can't help but try using it..."
Josiu stopped drawing in his hand and looked at Herlan and Ciri.
Herlan is the owner of this alchemy, and this thing should have been made by Herlan.
"Don't mind that... Mr. Qiao Xiu, it is placed here for visitors to try. ”
Herlan glanced at the image projected on the cube, and the line drawing that Qiao Xiu had drawn quickly attracted Herland's attention.
There are many human painters who have created paintings with elves as the protagonists, after all, the elven race can be said to be synonymous with beauty in terms of human aesthetics, but the elf sketched by Qiao Xiu's pen, Herlan always feels different from those elves who live in the forest.
"Visitors? Do you exhibit to the outside world? ”
Qiao Xiu glanced at the rest of the alchemy workshop, except for Herlan and Xiri, there was no third person, which seemed a little deserted compared to the alchemy workshops that Qiao Xiu had just passed by.
"In other words, Miss Herlan, are you going to take this magic guide machine to the fair in two months?"
Qiao Xiu's question seemed to poke at Herlan's sore spot, and her expression became a little lost.
"It would be nice if I could participate, the magic machines that participated in the World Exposition were all made by well-known masters...... As much as I would love to see my work on it, I'm a little ashamed that I should now think about how I can trade it for some money. ”
Herland spoke in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, she wanted fame more than money, but the reality forced Herland to face up to the importance of money.
In the past, she had always been a top student at one of Nolan's best high magic schools, and the study grant for each academic year was enough for Herlan to live a privileged life, but recently Herlan chose a desperate method to complete this magic machine in order to make her mother's legacy appear on the World Exposition.
The end result, of course, was that Herlan lost her gamble, and not only did she lose her grant, but her eligibility to receive it was in jeopardy, and all her savings were invested in the creation of this magic machine.
"I see."
Qiao Xiu can understand the reason why Herlan, who was supposed to be a cross-century invention, was ignored, because her invention was too 'cross-century'.
In the case of the earth, people are still amazed by the appearance of the 'small steam engine' and shouting that the industrial revolution is coming, and someone suddenly invented the liquid crystal mouse drawing board, which in the eyes of people in which era it looks like alien technology, and it will not be accepted by the world.
There are no paintings in this world that are stored with 'data', and only paper paintings are eligible to be handed down.
"That's... Miss Walland, I hope to invest in your research, it may be a bit inappropriate to invest in it, with a collaboration or... Entrepreneurship. ”
Qiao Xiu is not a human being who lived in the era of the Industrial Revolution, Qiao Xiu is a person in the information age of the 21st century, of course he knows the value of Walland's magic guide machine, which will play a great role in helping Qiao Xiu drag the world into the Internet age first, and more importantly... Qiao Xiu can use this thing to draw the CG of the game.
"Entrepreneurship?"
The first two words Herlan could still understand, but Herlan had never heard of the word entrepreneurship, and she looked at Ciri beside her with a puzzled look.
Ciri, on the other hand, shrugged her shoulders and said she was used to it.
"It's to work with you to promote the paintings drawn by your magic machine."
"Paintings? Mr. Qiao Xiu, the paintings drawn on this magic guide machine are just magic streams stored in the inscription unit, and they are entities that cannot be touched, and if this machine is damaged, these paintings will all disappear. ”
Herlan knew how to store these 'magic streams' stored in inscription units in a piece of primordial crystal, but the fact that these virtual paintings were untouchable proves that they have no value at all, and even if they are artistic, they will never be displayed in a museum.
"Value? Everything in the world has no value from the beginning, and their value is artificially created. ”
Of course, Qiao Xiu doesn't expect that in this world where he doesn't even know what the Internet is, a random CG can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, even in the 21st century, the CG that he worked so hard to draw on the computer may be worthless.
Because of the data thing... Can be copied.
"Value creation?"
Herlan's puzzled expression made Ciri look a little inexplicably happy, because that's how Ciri communicated with Jossiu.
"Let me demonstrate."
Josius walked over to the line drawing of Sylvanas and continued to add a few marks to the drawing, with the number 6 written in the upper left corner of the painting, and two 5s written in the lower right and lower left corners.
Qiao Xiu sketched out a little bit of detail, and wrote in the middle of the introductory box, "Dead Words: Control a random enemy follower." "After.
In a card game on Earth called Hearthstone, the strongest neutral dead orange Casilvanas Windranger appeared in front of Jossiu!
Qiao Xiu paid a full 600 soft girl coins to Blizzard for this legendary card back then!
Just a line drawing, an ordinary CG This painting may be worthless, but after making this CG a rare card in the card game, there will be countless people who do not hesitate to buy card packs in order to get her.
And this is what Qiao Xiu said about artificial value creation!
