Pei Ning was eating lunch.

Although he already has a system, it is too much of a loss to use his popularity value to exchange for cash, with his current popularity value, which is less than 300 yuan in cash.

Therefore, Pei Ning's financial situation is still very tight, at least until a work is released to make a profit, he still needs to rely on the remuneration of being a coloring assistant for two comics at the same time to support his living expenses.

Rice, green vegetables, minced meat fried tofu, and a bowl of free seaweed egg drop soup, the total price is eight yuan, which is Pei Ning's lunch today.

At this time, the mobile phone in Pei Ning's pocket vibrate.

"Senior Brother Creation Group"

This is Pei Ning's current part-time comic "Senior Brother Stares at My Feet Every Day, It Must Be a Brain Disease" discussion group,The entire creative team is not only responsible for the story、Character design、In addition to the writer himself who is responsible for the story,There are also three assistants,Responsible for outlining、Background and coloring,Because everyone is working remotely,So usually there are work tasks Writers will be assigned in the group。

Pei Ning clicked into the group, but the news he saw surprised him.

Magic Lemon: @全体成员, hello everyone, so far, our "Brother Looks at the Feet" has been serialized for four months, thanks to everyone's efforts during this time, today I received an unfortunate news, according to the feedback from the editor, our comics did not perform well, and were eliminated after ranking last in a row, and need to complete the ending in the next three episodes of serialization, in short......

Magic Lemon: Our comics, cut in half.

Magic Lemon: But don't worry, your remuneration will be paid before the end of the series, and I will start preparing new works, and I will collaborate if I have the opportunity in the future!

The writer's pen name is Magic Lemon, and after sending a few messages in succession, the other assistants didn't react very much, just simply replied "received", and then wished the new book a big hit.

In fact, the comic cut in half is not a very sudden thing, and there are already some signs in the first few weeks.

From Pei Ning's point of view, it is obvious that the writer has injected too much personal preference into this comic, so much so that there are beautiful girl's feet on almost every page.

Whether it's black silk, white silk, or bare feet, it may attract the reader's attention at first, but if the pattern remains the same and just repeats itself monotonously, it will also make people feel tired.

No matter what the reason, for Pei Ning, there will be one less source of income after three weeks, which can be said to be worse for him in the already poor economic situation.

Pei Ning sighed lightly, took a sip of the seaweed egg drop soup in the bowl, and comforted the writer politely in the group.

After all, it's not a popular comic, and the writer's income is not high, so the remuneration for this comic assistant job is 15 yuan per grid, and an issue of serialization is about 30 grids, that is, you can earn more than 400 yuan a week.

The other coloring assistant costs 17 yuan per frame, but the writer likes to use large grids, so the overall pay is about the same.

Before this, Pei Ning also took a list of 10 yuan a grid, which belongs to the middle and low-level comics.

Every month, two comic assistant jobs bring Pei Ning an income of more than 3,000 yuan, and a rent income of 800 yuan, which is more than 4,000 yuan when it is full.

This money is not only for food and drink, but also for tuition, water and electricity grid bills, etc., even if Sister Ruoyun shares some of them, she is very nervous.

When the serialization of "Senior Brother Watching Feet" ended three weeks later, Pei Ning's monthly income plummeted by nearly forty percent......

Moreover, Pei Ning feels that another comic that he worked as a coloring assistant is about to be cut in half, if so, then he can only live on Sister Ruoyun's rent of 800 yuan a month.

"I have to find a new way to make money, why don't you try to start a serial?"

Pei Ning sat in the corner of the cafeteria, watching the people coming and going in front of him, and fell into thought.

As a rookie comic book author, there are only two options in the early stage of serialization, one is to do all the processes by yourself, and the other is to pay for an assistant.

The former basically requires full-time creative work, and there is a high risk that the manuscript will not be approved, or it will be cut in half soon after the manuscript is approved, and it is impossible to do so without financial security.

As for the latter...... Pei Ning is a succubus painter from another world.

According to Pei Ning's expectations, he drew the storyboard as the main writer, and then handed it over to Aya for follow-up work, with Aya's "Painting the Heart into a Dream" entry, the comic can definitely attract the reader's attention immediately.

It's just that Aya is still busy with the work of the game, and I don't know if she can do a little more......

……

"Tira, you go a little further to the left, I'll see...... Uh-huh, that's right, that's the pose! ”

"Fetti, sit down, yes, that posture...... Hey, I'll show you, ...... like this."

"Alright, alright, you two don't move."

Aya commanded the two girls in front of her to pose in a specific pose, while also holding the manuscript given by Pei Ning for comparison, and when she encountered something that the two succubus girls didn't understand, she also made that action demonstration by herself.

Tira held a spear in both hands, leaned on the spear, and her body showed an S-shape that was convex and backward, and her face was facing Aya, and she made a very unconvinced expression.

Fitty sat on the ground with her legs back, in an M-shaped position, her hands propped up on the ground in front of her, and she looked up at Aya with a delicate expression.

In front of Aya were two easels, and next to them were two tables, each with a full set of palettes and other painting supplies.

Standing in the center of the two succubus girls, Aya tapped her hands twice, then spread her arms.

I saw that the paintbrushes on the tables on both sides actually floated at the same time, each dipped in paint and smeared on the canvas.

Aya didn't touch the paintbrush with her hands, so she controlled the two pens to move quickly on the canvas out of thin air, outlining the postures of the two succubus girls.

She drew quickly, and as she focused, the tail behind her was tilted upwards sixty degrees, and the peach-heart-shaped tip at the end glowed red, indicating that the magic in her body was working.

"Alright, alright, these two are done!" Aya waved at the two of them, then pulled out a new manuscript, "This time...... I'll see, this time it's a close-up of the expression, Tira, Fiti, please! ”

"Sister Aya, this expression is also ...... That's weird, right? Tila was divided into one of the expressions, and she stared at the manuscript for a long time, and said, "Roll your eyes, open your mouth, stick out your tongue...... Why do you want to draw such an expression? ”

Aya pondered for two seconds and said, "I don't know, this is the manuscript given by Mr. Pei Ning." ”

"Then I, I...... Try to ......"

Tila tried to move her facial muscles, imagining in her mind what it would take to make such a strange expression.

Aya didn't understand why Pei Ning gave her such a manuscript, but since this is Mr. Pei Ning's task, she must complete it well, which is related to the most precious essence!
