Luminous city.
Li Mo posted a new illustration on his work account, which shows two humans and a navy seal army having a water gun battle with a group of unique deep-sea fish.
The whole picture has many characters, intricate details, bright and colorful colors, and is full of imagination and tension.
Li Mo is a famous painter in the painting circle. His painting style is delicate and the scenes he draws are full of stories. His works are dark and mysterious in style. He has more than 500,000 followers.
After this illustration titled "Undersea War" was released, it immediately attracted the attention of fans.
[Such bright colors, quite different from Moda’s previous style.]
[It’s certainly not Mo Da’s style, but it seems like they are so happy. ]
[What does this feeling feel like? For example, one day, a well-known thriller and suspense novelist published a warm and healing family novel... ]
[Cry, I still like Mo Da’s original style!!]
[It feels like a fairy tale. Did Mo Da get inspiration from fairy tale books? ]
…
Li Mo doesn't usually interact with his fans, and his fans are used to his aloofness.
But this day was a little different. Mo Da, who usually didn't reply to comments, replied to a fan.
[The inspiration came from a dream. I dreamed that I turned into a fish. //@小和和爱兔兔: It feels like a fairy tale. Did Mo Da find inspiration from a fairy tale book?]
Originally, the artist just shared a recent work in his small circle. The style was a little different from his previous works. Fans found it fresh and some liked it, while others thought it was not as good as his previous works.
And when Li Mo rarely responded to the source of his inspiration, magical messages began to appear one after another under this post, gradually triggering an unprecedentedly heated discussion.
[I was just saying that this painting looked strangely familiar. Did Mo Da also go to the furry shop? ]
[My friend asked me to see this painting. Wow! It really is the water gun battle that day. The shop owner and the boy with a high ponytail are so eye-catching! I didn’t get selected as a fighter and came back halfway through. Who won in the end? ]
[I didn't play to the end, we should have won. This morning, a medal fell out of my bag for no apparent reason, and I was wondering where it came from. When I saw this picture, I remembered everything.]
[+1, I got the medal too! ]
[Oh my god! The prizes have been distributed? I’m so jealous! ]
[Just a quick question, who got the Tears of God? Anyone interested in selling it? Please PM! ]
…
[Am I the only one who doesn't understand? What furry shop, what water gun battle? ]
[I can tell from the first glance that you have never been to a furry shop, so it is normal that you don’t understand.]
[The Furry Shop… Is it the online celebrity shop that was very popular some time ago? Wasn’t it said to be fake? Some people went there and found out that it was just a plush toy shop that ripped people off! ]
[That must be fake. Those who know the real furry shop will know... ]
[I understand. I have been to a real furry shop! Ask for the location. I want to check in! ]
…
Li Mo was reading the comments on his phone. When the inspiration for this illustration first came to his mind, he really thought it was just a dream.
As he saw more and more comments discussing the details of the water gun battle and questions about the furry shop, the scene that he thought was a dream became clearer and clearer, and he realized that he had really been to that furry shop.
As his memory awakened, what he saw and experienced in the deep sea world became an endless source of inspiration. He wanted to paint, right now!
Li Mo turned off his cell phone, sat back at his workbench, and devoted himself to new creation.
His illustration directly became the key to unlock memory. When customers of the Furry Shop saw it, their memories of the shop in the deep sea suddenly awakened, and the discussion about the Furry Shop on the Internet became more and more intense.
[What?! There are even Maru Maru dogs and seals? When I went there, the store had just expanded and introduced the little fat dog. ]
[Aaaah, what a loss! When I went there, there was only one furry shop, and there were only cats in the shop. I really want to go there again! ]
[I want to go again! The underwater slides and the jellyfish spinning Ferris wheel are so fun to ride. There are also the Maru Maru dogs and fat leopards that I haven’t seen before. How can I go to the furry shop again? ]
[Just follow fate, the destined one will come as soon as you open your eyes!]
[Can I only go there once in my life? I really want to see the expanded and upgraded furry shop and meet the new furry staff! ]
[People who have never been there say they don’t understand what you are regretting… ]
…
Less than half a day after the illustration controversy, someone posted anonymously online again.
[LZ: Irresponsible revelation, that furry shop under the sea may have rabbits. ]
The title of this post contains "Furry Shop", and the previous wave of popularity has not yet subsided, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
[rabbit!!!]
[What's the evidence? Has the OP been to the furry shop?]
[LZ: I really haven't been there, but I may be overthinking it. About five days ago, a buyer from Yeguang City ordered twenty Wakaba rabbits from my house. There is a pet ban in the central city, and our family rarely has orders from there, so this order left a deep impression on me. Also because of the pet ban, I asked a few more questions. The buyer claimed to be a clerk at the Furry Shop and ordered rabbits to the store. Moreover, the rabbits did not need to be sent to the city, but were delivered directly at the dock. An hour ago, I handed over ten pairs of Wakaba rabbits to the buyer at the dock, a very pretty black-haired girl, accompanied by a blue-haired boy with a high ponytail.]
[The boy with a high ponytail is Harold! ]
[It must be the store owner and the fierce clerk who actually bought a Wakaba rabbit. I want to pet a rabbit too! ]
[Since the shop owner appeared in Night Light City, the specific location of the Furry Shop is not far away?]
[I wasn't interested at first, but after reading so many discussions about that furry shop today, I couldn't help but get curious! ]
[I also want to go to the furry shop!]
…
Lu Yao didn't know that the Furry Shop had become a hit on the Internet outside the deep sea. He and Harold received twenty young rabbits and returned to the sea.
The seal guard was stationed on the shore, and when he sensed the two men coming back, he immediately emerged from the water.
The Rakaba rabbit in the cage is wearing a special collar and will not be disturbed by sea water.
One man, one dragon, twenty seals and twenty rabbits go home together.
Just at this moment, the system prompt sounded, and the side quest had been completed.
[The ultimate mission has begun! The Garbage Sea has lost its original name over the long years. Please find the real name of this sea within three days! ]
Lu Yao confirmed it twice, which means that the garbage sea was not originally called "Garbage Sea". As long as the original name was found, the mission would be completed.
She couldn't believe that this ultimate mission was so simple.
"Seriously?"
The system spoke slowly: [Hmm. But you only have one chance to give the answer. If the name is wrong, the task will fail. Shopkeeper, please consider carefully.]
Here it comes again.
Every day, he uses a trick to try to manipulate the store owner.
Lu Yao grabbed Lei Lei, the captain of the Navy SEAL guard beside him. The captain of the guard had always been wearing a pearl necklace given by the goddess of the deep sea. In order to distinguish him from other seals, Lu Yao gave him a name. Lei Lei liked the name very much. She tilted her head to look at Lu Yao, and her round, dark eyes asked, "What's the matter?"
The shop owner was the smartest and most troublesome human being he had ever met. Her words and actions were unpredictable, often making him curious and slightly afraid.
Lu Yao seemed to be completely unaware of Lei Lei's complicated inner thoughts, and casually said, "I've been here for so long, but I still don't know what the sea area where Lord Cuihuangxing lives is called. The guests and the staff have been calling it the Garbage Sea, which is really rude. Lei Lei turned out to be the captain of the guard, so she must know it, right?"
Ten seconds later, Lei Lei's inner voice came: "Of course it's not called the Garbage Sea, these hateful humans! But... the name... I've never heard of it... Lord Cuihuangxing's palace is called the Palace of the Gods, so this sea should be called the Divine Realm... right..."
Lei Lei couldn't answer and felt very frustrated.
As messengers of God, they have never thought about this question.
Lu Yao patted it and comforted it, "It's okay if you don't know. I just asked casually."
Tears os: “… woooo.”
Even more frustrated.
Leilei is the captain of the guard. She is smarter than just other guard members and knows more.
Even he didn't know the name of this sea area, so it was really hard to find it.
Maybe I can ask those ancient deep-sea creatures. Lu Yao plans to play the piano in the whale room when he returns to the store.
She had previously learned some information from the killer whale calf that whales and various intelligent deep-sea fish would be called by strange melodies.
She couldn't remember how she learned the song, but it was useful.
Lu Yao and his group returned to the Furry Shop and placed Wakaba Rabbit directly in the sea urchin room.
[Successfully add three types of furry creatures within fourteen days, and the total number exceeds thirty. Mission completed! Reward: 100,000 popularity points, and free store expansion (Note: the expansion area is limited to 60 square meters)! ]
[It is detected that the ultimate mission has been opened, please complete the mission as soon as possible!]
Successfully complete the last main mission before the ultimate mission to receive popularity rewards and free expansion opportunities.
The last time the garbage was cleaned up from the garbage mountain, the store owner gained more than 30 million popularity points overnight, and now he has no shortage of popularity points.
But having experienced the pain of poverty and the days of picking up garbage day and night are still vivid in her mind, she is now more frugal than before and is determined to make good use of the 100,000 popularity points and expansion opportunities.
When Jiuhua learned that Lu Yao had returned, she immediately ran over from the Coral Room. She even resisted the urge to look at the newcomer Ruoye Rabbit and pulled Lu Yao to a secluded place to talk.
"Luyao, I just came from home. There's been a lot of noise online about the Furry Shop..." Jiuhua was a little excited, but she spoke clearly and quickly recounted what happened online, "Nowadays, many people are curious about our shop and want to come and experience it. It would be great if the store was really located in Night Light City, so that those customers who can't turn into fish can also come to the store and collect money."
The good thing about the furry shop is that seafood, jewelry, and cash can be used as currency to pay for the experience. The sense of reality of the store is a bit lacking.
But this is also the characteristic of the furry shop. Jiuhua understands it, but she also wants to experience the feeling of making huge profits by opening a shop. It must be very fulfilling!
After listening to this, Lu Yao thought for a few minutes and said calmly, "It's not impossible."
!!!
Jiuhua's eyes widened, and her surprise gradually turned into joy. "You can do this? Shopkeeper, I love you so much."
Lu Yao nodded: "Let me think about it first. This sea area is indeed not a place that normal people can easily step into, but there are other ways."
When she said this, she had already constructed a complete plan in her mind.
