Chapter 88: I found that I was still earning too little

Views:

Gu Bai reacted for a while before he understood what he meant by coming over and thanking him.

"I just finished painting the Vermillion Bird." Gu Bai explained.

He felt that Mr. Xie should read less messy books.

Xie Zhi entered the room, strolled around, and after confirming that it wasn't a particularly heavy breath, he finally nodded.

Divine beasts are still beasts in nature, and they are much more sensitive to things like breath and territorial awareness than Gu Bai, a stable and stable spirit that has no such concept.

Zhuniao and Pixiu are both incredible mythical beasts, and they can leave a very obvious breath after walking around.

Just like beasts encircling their territory.

Gu Lang also said before that Gu Bai smelled of pixiu, and Gu Bai himself couldn't feel any difference, and he didn't take it to heart.

Mr. Xie mentioned it now, and Gu Bai felt that it was better to avoid it as much as possible for Mr. Si's consideration.

Gu Bai opened the window and let the sun and the slightly cool wind blow in.

The house in Kyushu Shanhaiyuan is actually very unscientific. This room type is not ventilated in principle, but as soon as the window is opened, there will always be a fresh feeling of air circulation.

Xie Zhi took out the small gift box that was sent first as a reward, put it on the table in the living room, and mentioned to Gu Bai the painting that the customer wanted.

The paintings that the monsters want are actually very consistent, and they generally want landscape paintings.

In this way, although the aura in the spirit painting is not as high as that in the mirage, it is better than nothing for those monsters - especially the monsters of plants and trees, who cannot enter the mirage life with abundant aura. It's better to be eroded by evil outside.

There were also a few special requests, but none of them were difficult for Gu Bai.

There was no surprise this time. What this monster proposed was also a landscape painting.

There are not many requirements, only a dense forest.

According to Mr. Xie, the customer of this shop is a deer who has become a deer, and has a good reputation among human beings. The main business scope is the treatment of infertility.

There is no need for surgery, no need to take medicine or anything. He gives a tip and takes it with him. After a while, there will be good news.

"However, in the eyes of human beings, this still belongs to the category of metaphysics, so it is only known by some people." Xie Zhi said while placing the delicate gift box in his hand on the table.

Gu Bai knew what Lu Shu was, and it was also a creature in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Wearing its fur for a long time would make the descendants like clouds.

Even if Lu Shu is now appearing in the image of a human being, this is indeed the category of metaphysics, so ordinary people with insufficient status probably have no chance to know about this matter.

"It's a pity that his role is only effective for humans." Xie Zhi said, "so I think this is probably the only time he has the opportunity to ask you for a painting..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Bai understood what he meant.

Xie Zhi meant that he gave Lu Shuxiao a back door.

Because the utility of Lu Shu's fur is useless to the monster, he may not be able to pay the price Xie Zhi offered to Gu Bai in the monster.

This time, Gu Bai offered to use the watch bought with the currency of the human side as a reward, Xie Zhi simply found too much money to spend, but still couldn't buy a painting of Lu Shu.

Anyway, Gu Bai specified a watch with a very high price, and that price was a drop in the bucket for Lu Shu.

As long as he can get paid, Gu Bai doesn't care who the customer is, but Xie Zhi felt that since he gave Lu Shu the back door, he had to explain it to Gu Bai.

When doing this, Xie Zhi didn't feel anything.

But after doing it, he realized that this should not be the case.

To be honest, if the target of his incident was Si Yiming, this Pi Yao knew that he went through the back door, and he didn't know how much he had to write down in his heart.

The concepts of prior notification and after notification are completely different.

He just subconsciously felt that Gu Bai would not be angry, so he did this on his own accord.

This was inherently wrong.

"It's okay." Gu Bai showed Xie Zhi a bright smile.

"...But I still have to tell you." Xie Zhi looked at Gu Bai with no grudge in his heart, and pursed his lips, "You shouldn't be so tolerant to others."

Gu Bai didn't understand the meaning of Xie Zhi's words. He looked at Xie Zhi blankly and tilted his head in confusion.

"...Forget it." Xie Zhi sighed.

This reaction was indeed expected.

He sighed slightly, raised his hand and rubbed Gu Bai's head, and warned, "If you meet new people or monsters in the future, you should ask us to check it out for you."

Gu Bai was stunned for a while, and although he was full of doubts, he still nodded.

"Okay!" Xie Zhi clapped his hands and pointed to the gift box on the table, "Would you like to check your payment?"

"It's okay, Mr. Xie will be fine." Gu Bai said while looking at the gift box on the table, the sapphire tied to the ribbon was startled.

"this… "

"It's a small gift." Xie Zhi said, "Anyway, Lu Shu is not bad for money."

"But… "

Gu Bai felt a little awkward, he had rarely faced such obvious flattery.

Xie Zhi was very clear about Gu Bai's thoughts, and said, "It would be good if you gave this painting a little more refreshment."

Gu Bai felt that there was no other way, so he pressed the point of discomfort, put the small gift box into the hand rope, touched the hand rope, turned his head and glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window, and had an idea in his heart. .

Xie Zhi looked at Gu Bai thoughtfully and felt that it was time to leave.

But before leaving, he mentioned to Gu Bai: "You don't take jobs from the human side recently. If you have free time, paint more of your own works."

Gu Bai was stunned: "Huh?"

"You have to paint a few more for the competition, and don't you want to open your own solo exhibition?"

Gu Bai nodded suddenly: "Yes!"

"The picture of Xuanwu you painted before will definitely not be less popular when it opens to traffic at the end of this month. If you paint another picture on the canvas, the popular painting will be relatively cheap in the selection."

Xie Zhi paused after speaking, and then said: "I have received a lot of invitations for you to participate in the exhibition, but all of them have to be rejected because you have no independent works of your own."

Gu Bai also knew that he had been drawing commercial drafts and Sifang Divine Beasts for a long time recently. After painting, he would either not be able to bring them back or hand them over to the client. Naturally, he would not be able to take out his works to participate in the exhibition.

He shrank his neck and nodded very obediently.

"Also." Xie Zhi thought for a while, and explained, "The exhibition in the imperial capital is coming to an end, and I will go directly to get your sunset picture back there for you to participate in the competition."

Gu Bai nodded like pounding garlic, feeling that professionalism is amazing.

"Okay, that's all." Xie Zhi thought for a while, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he followed Gu Bai to say goodbye.

He still has his own work to do.

Gu Bai took a large Xia Jin scarf from the cloakroom, covered the painting of Zhu Niao, closed the ventilation windows, and left Si Yiming's house.

Ordinary spirit painting is better to use ordinary painting tools.

Using this special set of painting tools, Gu Bai clearly felt that he was getting hungry faster.

There is also a little bit of other sensations. I feel that something cool is flowing in my body, and then it blends into the painting.

Gu Bai felt that this was probably the consumption of spiritual energy that Mr. Si said.

The reason why he didn't feel anything before was probably because he didn't have any other aids besides painting.

This time, from brush to brush and even the paint on the drawing board is specially refined, no wonder the consumption will become more obvious.

Gu Bai returned to his house slowly, and the first thing after returning home was to climb up to the second floor.

He had an idea in mind about painting Lu Shu.

Lushu's habitat is the southernmost Mount Jiyang, and Gu Bai also curiously checked it when he read the Classic of Mountains and Seas at the current location.

There is a typical southern hilly area, with dense forests and green trees.

It happened that this ray of sunshine from Zhu Niao gave Gu Bai a hint of inspiration.

Gu Bai ran up to the second floor, pulled out a piece of drawing paper, picked up the pen and began to sketch.

He was not sure when Mr. Si would be back, and the painting still couldn't be delayed.

Gu Baizheng's eight classics have been drawing and painting, and he has been forgetting to eat and sleep. In addition to insisting on running to grab that trace of the world's vitality every day, when he feels hungry, he eats the fruits and vegetables that can be eaten raw, as well as the small snacks sent to him by the property.

As an agent who occasionally has to communicate with Gu Bai about the progress of his work, Mr. Xie pointed out that Gu Bai had been squatting at home for half a month.

One day later is New Year's Day. At twelve o'clock today, the first trial of the cultural tourism line began. Usually, this time is the time when the traffic is the most.

Mr. Xie was wondering whether to pull out Gu Xiaobai and take it out to join in the fun to perform photosynthesis.

Just when he was struggling, Gu Bai's door opened, and when Gu Bai had tidied himself up, he raised his head and saw a thoughtful thank you standing in the corridor on the eighth floor facing downstairs.

"Mr. Xie!" Gu Bai happily waved at him, "I'm done drawing!"

Xie Zhi nodded, and was too lazy to take the elevator. He simply jumped over the corridor railings, jumped directly from the eighth floor across the patio, and landed firmly in front of Gu Bai on the sixth floor.

Gu Bai was startled, opened his mouth, closed it silently, turned his head and let Xie Zhi into the room.

Gu Bai's picture is not complicated.

To say what is the most precious in the forest, water and sunlight each have one.

The sun fell on the forest, and the entire forest was caged with a green, transparent and thin like emerald.

Lush trees scrambled to grow, obscuring the light they deserved in the shade.

A few rays of sunlight passed through the layers of tree shadows, forming a streak of light and dust, illuminating the dimly lit forest.

There were flowers and mushrooms in the shade, and a sparkling stream with a few dead trees running across it.

Three or two mottled sunlight fell on the stream, reflecting the bright brilliance that was flowing.

Xie Zhi watched for a long time, and the tip of his nose seemed to smell the unique aroma of soil and flowers and trees in the forest.

This is the figurative sense of smell that only occurs when the aura is extremely strong and concentrated.

He turned to look at Gu Bai and said bluntly, "You have made progress."

"I think so too." Gu Bai was not modest, and was realistic, "Probably because of the unusual relationship between the previous painting tools, I began to consciously guide when painting."

Xie Zhi clicked his tongue lightly, such a talent is really quite amazing.

"I'm going out today to find Uncle Yu to order a picture frame." Gu Bai said, "Then I'll go and see the cultural tourism line that is being tested today."

Thanks for a meal, a little surprised: "You didn't care about this before."

"Because I found that I was still earning too little."

Gu Bai said that he really felt that way. After all, he was too different from Mr. Si - he couldn't even afford a watch!

Although a large part of the reason is that the watch is so expensive, he does earn a little less.

Gu Bai rubbed his hands with a serious face, and said, "I have to go and see the results of my wall. This is about whether I can get a big red envelope from the boss!"
