Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 1441: A small investment that brings big gains, two half-size paintings (3 more)

Views:

After completing the day's training, Luke and Mindy did not leave immediately, but instead helped Nikki and Monica to look up weapon and armor styles.

The two girls had never come into contact with this kind of thing. Apart from knowing that the knife must be made of steel, they had no idea what kind of steel it was.

They looked confused when Luke and Mindy talked about the various steel parameters.

Fortunately, the two, one big and one small, quickly reached a consensus.

The weapons obey Luke because he is familiar with the materials.

As for protective gear, listen to Mindy because she is familiar with what kind of protection girls need.

Of course, both people have reservations about the other's opinions.

Mindy feels that Luke may not be the most suitable material.

Luke felt that with Mindy's short board, she might not be familiar with how to protect two girls.

However, the two tech-illiterate girls next to them had been confused for more than ten minutes, their eyes were circling, and it was not suitable for Luke and the others to continue the discussion.

Then there was the style, which Luke rarely had a say in.

As long as Mindy doesn't have a wild imagination and wants to come up with some weird shapes and colors, she and the two girls can do whatever they want.

When leaving Nikki's house, Luke also agreed to have someone deliver wooden swords to them for training the next day.

The training protective clothing was provided by Mindy. It was said that she had some used old clothing at home that she could use for training.

Luke guessed that it was a discard from her training with Damon.

After sending Mindy home, Luke returned home by himself and adjusted the data modeling of the four swords and one shield. The semi-finished product came out in less than twenty minutes.

Another half an hour is spent on completing accessories such as knife handles and shield handles, and the work is completed.

This weapon only needs to be strong and sharp, with the right weight, and without any complicated parts. It's really that simple.

If they weren't gifts for girls and were only considered for practicality, it would take him less than five minutes to make one.

The price of one or two hundred US dollars is entirely the cost of materials.

If you count his processing equipment, then... forget it.

He has modified CNC machine tools for processing armor and weapons, plus intelligent programs specifically for modeling and adjustment. It is not excessive to make a knife and sell it for one hundred thousand US dollars.

The reason why he treated Nikki and Monica so well was, firstly, that they were the ability providers, and secondly, that the two of them showed some valuable fighting tendencies.

Compared to the three super-powered sisters who are still recovering and enjoying their normal state, these two already have the awareness to improve their strength and protect themselves.

Moreover, judging from their previous behavior of beating up thugs, they also have a bit of "vigilante" tendencies.

The tendency was very slight, but for Luke, it was just a piece of cake to offer a small gift and bring them a little closer.

Among them, Monica's primary imitation ability is quite suitable for Luke's "teammate armor flow" plan.

This reserve master of physical skills, shooting, and sports will possess a weakened Batman template when he grows up.

As long as she is equipped with strong enough armor to make up for the shortcoming of lethality, her combat effectiveness will be stronger than many super-power users.

Nikki's basic muscle control ability also has considerable room for expansion, but the armor's improvement in combat effectiveness is not as high as Monica's.

Since so many people have invested, it would be a good opportunity to make a small investment for a big gain if we invest in advance and train these two girls.

After quickly finishing these small gifts, Luke looked out the window and drove out.

It was only afternoon, but the rainy weather gave him a familiar feeling.

It’s not a comfortable experience to go out in this kind of weather, but it would be perfect if I could snuggle up with a girl, watch the rain in front of the window, and drink a cup of coffee.

Anyway, the research work can be done by the clone, and I can just be distracted occasionally.

Under dual-line operation, it is most appropriate for me to show a normal life state.

After driving to the Palande Academy of Arts, he entered the academy and found Elena's dormitory as if he was familiar with the place.

She still lives alone here and has never seen the legendary roommate Luke.

In fact, Elena and her roommate met no more than twenty times in total.

Elena didn't go out on such a rainy day, and she was very surprised when she received Luke's call.

Luke came quite often. If he had nothing to do, he would ask her out for half a day and have two or one meal every three to five days.

Now that lunch was over and dinner was still early, the two of them sat on the sofa in front of the window again, huddled together and drank coffee.

Since Luke gave her a lot of coffee when they first met, and they became familiar with each other because of coffee, she has been improving her coffee-making skills.

If Luke's coffee-making skills were eight blocks ahead of Ginny's maid, then now Elena is four to six blocks ahead of him, reaching the level of professional amateur or semi-professional.

Unfortunately, Mr. Lu could only roughly feel that the coffee was slightly better than what he brewed himself, which was a typical example of a cow chewing on a peony.

At this moment, caressing Elena's voluptuous waist, he asked casually, "You said there is a new work that feels special recently. Where is it?"

Elena tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and shook her head with a bad look on her face: "There are two paintings, or two half-paintings, and even the drafts are not finished. Do you want to see them?"

Luke nodded.

Elena stood up, dragged over the special painting box that Luke had given her, and placed it by the window.

After entering her fingerprint and digital password, she opened the box, set up the folding stand at the back, and flipped it to the bottom.

She sat back on the sofa and curled up in his arms: "I'm not a science fiction fan, but I don't know why, I thought of this picture for a few days and couldn't help but draw half of it."

Luke narrowed his eyes and looked at the humanoid creature standing on what looked like a flying vehicle and swooping down from the sky.

In addition to the leading aircraft and the humanoid creature on it, which are drawn relatively clearly, there are also a staggering number of gradually shrinking aircraft behind it.

Is there a giant insect flying above these swooping flying vehicles

Luke asked softly, "Isn't this a bug?"

Elena nodded. "No, it should be a mechanical... spaceship in the shape of an insect? These should be the flying machines released by it. Hmm, this... doesn't conform to scientific theorems?"

She was a little embarrassed. After all, she had always studied art and didn't care about science or science fiction.

Luke smiled and rubbed her to comfort her: "Science fiction movies don't need to completely comply with scientific theorems. You are an artist, just express what you want to express."

Then he raised his hand along the aircraft and the bug spaceship, pointing to the empty space above the bugs: "Why is it empty here?"

Elena shook her head in distress: "I have no inspiration. When I drew this part, it seemed like there was nothing in my head. I couldn't find the feeling of finishing it in one go. I felt awkward when I tried to force myself to start writing."

Luke hummed and patted her gently: "Don't worry about it. Venus doesn't have arms either."

Elena burst out laughing: "It turns out that the statue had arms, but we just can't find them."

Luke shrugged. “So, incompleteness doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a beautiful work of art.”
