Chapter 8: The Road to Comics
If you want to upgrade, you must do the task. When you think about it, Limu returns to the system homepage and clicks on the newly emerging "Daily Tasks" and "Special Tasks". A detailed introduction pops up under the task:
[Daily tasks, please purchase a full set of oil painting tools today. Reward for completing tasks: one skill start gold coin; penalty for failure of tasks: one skill start gold coin is lost. Will you receive it now?]
[Special tasks, please get the first three in the national painting competition, with a limited time of 6 months. Reward for completing tasks: one gold coin for skill activation/free attribute point + 1/skill upgrade gold coin, the reward depends on the completion degree. Punishment of mission failure: Curse of the mystery. Will you accept it now?]
——Grass! It’s a scam!
Limu couldn't help but curse.
What is "full set of oil painting tools"? This concept is not clearly defined. Do you only buy brushes, drawing paper, palettes, and pigments? If there are more, you can't afford pear wood now, such as: heaters, easels, drawing stools, drawing stools, nail guns, drawing boards, etc.
If you buy at the lowest standard, you are afraid that you will not be able to meet the "full set" conditions and lead to the failure of the task; if you buy at the highest standard, Limu believes that he can't afford to smash the piggy bank at home.
I dare not take on daily tasks!
——The Curse of Mystery?
Seeing that these four words in the special task have hyperlink comments, Limu decided to click it out and check it out first.
[Curse of the Confused: Small punishment and great commandment! If you fail the mission, you will be cursed by the system, and the probability of getting lost will increase to 90%, for a period of 6 months. (Tip: Please go out with the adults)]
——I’m so sad, you can’t get lost 9 times after you go out 10 times!?
The terrible curse of mystery!
Special tasks, but I still don’t take them!
At least Limu is not afraid to take it yet. Although he has learned comics and sketches, when it comes to artists or painters, he believes that he can only be considered an introductory level. He still wants to win the first place in the national competition? Let’s dream now, and it’s almost the same to go home and practice hard for a few years.
However, Rimu also saw the importance of "upgrading gold coins" from the tasks. The reward for daily tasks is the starting gold coins, and the starting gold coins are also rewarded in special tasks. It seems that the skill starting gold coins should not be difficult to obtain. However, the skill upgrade gold coins are very expensive, and it is estimated that the special tasks must be perfected to get them.
Now Rimu regrets putting upgraded gold coins into fine work. In the past, no matter whether you were playing dota or any game, you usually upgraded your active skills first. Although it consumes magic or endurance, active skills are very important in the early stage!
"It's too late to regret it, it's too late to regret it~"
Li Mu returned to the classroom worried about gains and losses.
Teacher Mo was telling the story of the mantis couple, which was very exciting, but Limu did not have the desire to listen to the class. For the occasional childish question such as "Do you understand, do you understand?" and "Classmates, who knows?", Limu had goose bumps when he heard it. Especially Lu Wei, who was sitting next to him, dragged her long voice and said, "Old~~ Teacher~~! I~~~ Know~~~~"
——I have the heart to die!
Because Lu Wei threw away his picture book, Li Mu could only take out the exercise book to write his ideas.
Since you have decided to buy comic tools after class and submit your articles as soon as possible to supplement your household expenses, you should plan what you want to draw in the future.
——Original words…
As an ideal and wise young man (Limu himself believes), he should submit his original works to his own taste. However, his past experience tells him that his original works are difficult to adopt. It is best not to waste resources to draw original comics when his economy is not rich. After rebirth, in order to pursue ideals rather than money, it is already a deviant move for him. If he continues to be paranoid, he will become a "wood" head as he is named.
So Limu gave up the original creation first.
——Pseudo-original is a good choice, and you don’t have to copy Japanese things.
Li Mu remembers the online novels that emerged in later generations. Those popular online novels are very suitable for comics. Some of them have a slump but ups and downs and profound content; some are funny and easy to understand; some are destroying people's views and unlimited creativity. If you draw comics with these novel themes, it is hard to say that someone will not fall into it, and you don't have to worry about the copyright issues caused by "same shirt".
Limu is a little hesitant about pseudo-original creation.
——Since it’s all fake, why not just plagiarize it?
Plagiarism is the safest way. Many famous comics that have become popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, and Japan have not been published yet, so it is impossible to publish them in front of them. For example, "Naruto" published next year, "Killing the City" published in 2000, "Alchemist of Steel" published in 2001, "Death" and "Tornado" published in 2004, and "Fate/stay" published in 2005.
Night, 2006 published "Fairy Tail"... "**", "Killing the City", "Rebellious Lelouch", "Attack on the Giant".
There is no need to write an outline or conception. Set up a studio. If you ask two or three assistants to open the painting directly, you can’t even draw it!
——For the time being, yes, it’s better to copy it for the time being…
Limu's weak decision came.
However, plagiarism must be given priority.
"Fate/staynight" by Takeuchi Takashi is a series from the East, and it was released in January 2004. Moreover, Takeuchi Takashi had already had the idea of asking magicians to summon the "Seven Angels" when he was in middle school. Night only turned this idea into a hero, while Zero is a novel by Xu Xuanyuan to complete the fate, which means that someone has prepared similar drafts at this moment.
Therefore, the publication of comics does not mean that the comics had no idea in advance.
They may have been thinking about it for several years, but they have not started writing. This is pretty good, and it does not constitute infringement. The original author can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and secretly sigh that he has a good idea, but he is one step slower. If the cartoonist has already saved the manuscript, but has not submitted it or published it, if the same shirt occurs, it is a real infringement.
The road to becoming an original cartoonist is difficult. If the family is demolished by the government and loses its source of income, Limu will find it difficult to be sure that he can continue to be a cartoonist, and he may eventually give up on comics and become a prodigal businessman.
You can't draw original comics as you want for the time being!
Just think of this.
He resolutely decided to take the path of comic plagiarism first.
He chose to give up the comic, which was published on the day of 1998, and temporarily set his "first work" as "The Alchemist of Steel" which was published three years later!
"Dinglingling--"
The noisy ringtone announced the end of the afternoon class, pulling Limu's thoughts back to the classroom.
Teacher Mo is loved by students, never delays or punishes students. Even Rimu's idleness in a class was not mentioned by him.
The squad leader also understood the ringtone; he took the lead and stood up and shouted loudly:
"stand up!"
"Goodbye, classmates~"
"Goodbye to the teacher!"
——Almost a ritual farewell.
Riki thought, but this kind of ceremony is the same in Japan.
He raised his head and watched Teacher Mo walk out of the classroom. He thought that the teacher he liked before actually didn't have much sense of responsibility. Classes were just routine classes, to earn a monthly salary. Teacher Mo lived a formulaic life with the purpose of making money and survival.
At least... I can't tell that this person's ideal is to be a good teacher. So
——This person lost his ideal.
...so, the soul was lost.
A soulless teacher.
