"Why, Professor, this hat is made up according to the code you gave me, and I just added a little bit of practicality to it." Xia Xiu handed a black top hat to Professor Nimus.

Professor Nimus took the top hat handed over by Xia Xiu and began to observe.

Black tweed (the fur of the black goat summoned from hell) with a dome and a wide brim underneath, the overall color is grayish

The outer perimeter of the hat is rounded with a strip of black silk and then tied into a bow pattern, this silk ribbon is the dimensional coordinates of [Spirit Dove], which is now used by Xia Xiu as a hat band for the top hat (thaumaturgical programming provided by Professor Nemus).

"What are you going to call this art installation?" Professor Nimus asked Xia Xiu as he stroked the sweatband on the inside of his hat with his fingers.

"Well, let's call him [Pigeon Topper]." Xia Xiu touched his chin with his hand and muttered for a while before replying.

"This hat is enough to be registered on the Art Handbook app list, and the art installation registered in the Art Handbook will receive a 20% reduction in energy consumption."

"You can choose to open or hide your art installation in the "Art Manual", and generally choosing to open the art installation is to allow dimensional merchants to [consult on the intention to sell] for you, so if you don't want to sell your art installation, it's best not to make it public, lest those annoying guys ask you if you sell or not every day."

Professor Nimus summoned a blue book as she spoke, and she pointed at the blue book casually, and a blue interface appeared in front of Xia Xiu.

[You have chosen to download!] 】

[Download progress: 20%··· 50%··· 80%··· 99%】

[The download is complete, and the pedigree app is being installed.] 】

【Installation Complete!】 】

The Red Book that was lodged in Xia Xiu's left hand flew out automatically, and then began to install the application pedigree, and soon a new branch appeared on the Red Book, which was the "Art Manual" application.

The logo used in the Art Handbook is a stick figure of nine female figures, which refers to the muse.

"After you register your own account, you can choose to bind the device." Professor Nimus returned the [pigeon top hat] to Xia Xiu, and Xia Xiu began to operate as the professor instructed.

Xia Xiu casually entered the nickname he used to use when he used to go to the post bar by himself.

[Nickname confirmed: Art is Patrick.] 】

After Xia Xiu logged in to the "Art Manual", he directly clicked on the [Art Device Binding] option, and as he clicked OK on the option, a square frame similar to the unique square frame used by the mobile phone when scanning the QR code began to appear.

Xia Xiu placed the [pigeon top hat] above the frame.

【Drip——】

Xia Xiu entered [Pigeon Topper] into the name of the device, and soon the template data about [Pigeon Topper] appeared in front of him.

Here's an extra note, the programming of the first and second abilities of [Pigeon Topper] was provided by Professor Nimus, and the latter two abilities were added by Xia Xiu himself.

Xia Xiu looked at the ability on the "Art Manual", and was very satisfied with the [pigeon top hat] in his hand with his index finger, and he browsed the many interesting art installations on the "Art Manual" as he turned.

The art installations on it are really weird, such as [Forever Upright Coin], [Golden Toilet Energy Converter], [One-Day Gender Transition Experience] and the like, it's really... It's so much fun!!

"Professor, do you think I'm going to put [Kaoji Mask] on the Art Handbook and become a hot commodity?" Xia Xiu asked Professor Nimus on a whim.

Professor Nimus really thought about it for a moment, and she quickly came to a conclusion.

"There is a high probability that it will be popular, and I can determine which group of people it is to serve."

"Oh, who are they?"

"Even the space bandits who roam near the Aether Shuttle and the pirates near the Chaos Sea, I'm sure they'll be very interested in this kind of mask that can both hide their faces and accurately express their own sarcasm."

“·······”

Xia Xiu suddenly didn't want to hang up the [Emoji Mask], so let's keep this thing for himself.

"Okay, now that the art installation you want has been completed, today's course is over, and the cost of materials and art processing used today will be deducted from your grade points."

"Professor, can you get a discount?"

"Okay, where do you want to discount?"

"I've already paid for the grades, I'll leave first if it's okay."

Looking at Xia Xiu, who was running away, Professor Nimus couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
