My Life Simulator

After meeting Mr. Han, Lu Li returned home.

When Mr. Han mentioned the "engraving", Lu Xinchen was also a little moved.

Now that it has been recognized and qualified to be engraved, of course, you must make a seal for yourself.

Seals are generally jade seals and stone seals, and the best materials for seals are of course Tian Huangshi and bloodstone.

But... this thing is more expensive than gold, and Lu Li couldn't afford it at all.

This is the beginning stage, let's make do with a cheap one.

Taking out his mobile phone and opening Taobao, Lu Li chose a set of printing tools on the Internet, and bought a few cheap "print stones".

There were still a few days before the goods arrived. Lu Li first found some basic tutorials on "carving" on the Internet, and learned some basic techniques first.

To really make a calligraphy seal, of course, it is not enough to just engrave a name, but also pay attention to art. Carving is also an art.

After a brief study of carving techniques, Lu Li stopped paying attention.

After the tools and materials come back, think about engraving and printing!

Putting down the phone, Lu Li threw himself into painting and calligraphy practice again.

Three days have passed.

This afternoon, when Lu Li came to the studio, the art students in the studio were chatting and discussing.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

Lu Li greeted with a smile. After joining the art specialty class for more than a month, Lu Li also became familiar with these classmates. Speaking naturally is very casual.

"Lu Li, are you here?"

Gao Juan, an art student in the third year of high school, replied with a smile: "We are discussing the calligraphy and painting competition for middle school students in the city! It is said that the results will be announced today."

"yes?"

Lu Li smiled and didn't care.

"Are you so calm?"

Sister Gao Juan glanced at Lu Li and said with a smile, "You're so good, you should be able to win the prize. You'll be calm."

"Yes! Yes! Lu Li's calligraphy and painting are so good, there is no problem in winning the prize."

A few girls next to her also echoed.

"That's not necessarily the case."

A boy in the third year of high school seemed a little resentful, and said deliberately: "Our art class in Yucheng No. 1 Middle School does not rank high in the city. Lu Li is considered to be very good in the school. If it is placed in the city, it is not necessary."

This boy's name is Lin Bo, the guy who used to grab a spot with an easel and deliberately grabbed the drawing angle that Lu Li had chosen.

Since Lu Li entered the art class, Lin Bo has been disgusted with Lu Li, and often has some unexpected behaviors.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Lu Li is so powerful, how could he not win the award?"

Sister Gao Juan frowned and hurriedly retorted.

"It is! It is!"

The other girls also refuted it and glared at Lin Bo.

"Humph!"

Limbo snorted coldly, didn't speak, and was secretly annoyed.

You bunch of licking dogs, when you see that Lu Li is handsome, you defend him. But I don't know that art does not depend on face, but on talent.

I'm so talented, can't you all see it?

After the students discussed a few words, it was time for class.

When the class bell rang, Teacher Xue Song walked into the classroom with a stack of honorary certificates.

Really got results.

Seeing these honorary certificates, the classmates in the studio held their breaths and sat upright with excitement in their eyes.

"Seeing the honorary certificate in my hand, everyone knows what I'm going to say, right?"

Teacher Xue Song raised the honorary certificate in his hand and smiled at everyone, "Not bad! That's the result of the painting and calligraphy competition."

The results were about to be announced, and the atmosphere in the classroom was slightly tense.

The students are eagerly looking at the stack of honorary certificates, all looking forward to having their own names on the honorary certificates.

"This city-wide painting and calligraphy competition is a large-scale competition within the city. The number of participants is relatively large, and naturally there are very few winners."

Xue Song glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "But... we did well in this competition. Next, I will announce the results."

As soon as the voice fell, the classroom fell silent in an instant.

"In this competition, four students won the third prize. They are: Jiang Wen, the third prize for sketching. Tan Xiaoli, the third prize for oil painting. Han Yuejun, the third prize for Chinese painting. Li Jian, the third prize for calligraphy."

Three high school girls and one high school boy each won a third prize.

"Oh yeah!"

The girls who won the prize jumped up with joy, got up quickly, and received the honorary certificate from Teacher Xue Song.

"The following is the second prize."

After handing out the honorary certificate of the third prize, Mr. Xue Song continued to read: "The second prize winners are: Gao Juan, the second prize for sketching. Du Yan, the second prize for calligraphy. Jiang Wenwen, the second prize for oil painting."

Three other students won the second prize.

The award-winning students came to the stage happily and received the honorary certificate from Mr. Xue Song.

After issuing the honorary certificates for the second and third prizes, Mr. Xue Song still has four honorary certificates in his hand.

Seeing the honorary certificates of these four first prizes, the other students in the classroom who had not yet won the award were immediately excited.

Four first prizes!

Our school has four first prizes!

Could I be one of them!

At this moment, the students felt a little uneasy. Especially Lin Bo, who had scolded Lu Liyibo just now, his hands were shaking slightly.

"The first prize will be announced below!"

Teacher Xue Song glanced at everyone and saw the nervousness and anticipation on everyone's face, as well as the calmness and calmness on Lu Li's face.

Xue Song smiled, raised the four honorary certificates in his hand, and said, "First prize in calligraphy, Lu Li!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Lu Li won the first prize!"

"congratulations!"

"I knew it, I knew Lu Li would definitely win the prize!"

Hearing that Teacher Xue Song announced the "First Prize of Calligraphy", the girls in the classroom cheered one by one.

It seemed...they were even more happy when they saw Lu Li winning the award than they were themselves.

"thanks!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded to everyone.

Lin Bo glanced at Lu Li and muttered, "What's wrong?" Isn't it a calligraphy first prize? There are three other people who won the first prize like you!

Lu Li stood up and prepared to receive the honorary certificate.

"Not urgent!"

Xue Song smiled and waved his hand, "I haven't finished reading yet!"

After speaking, Xue Song opened another honorary certificate and said, "First prize in Chinese painting, Lu Li!"

"Wow……"

"Chinese painting is also the first prize!"

"Lu Li won two first prizes!"

"Lu Li is amazing!"

Hearing that Lu Li's Chinese painting was also the first prize, the girls clapped their hands and shouted.

Lin Bo's face froze, and a shadow flashed in his eyes. Lu Li... actually won two first prizes?

"Don't be busy! There's more!"

Xue Song opened the third honorary certificate again, "First prize for sketching... Lu Li!"

"Ah? Sketch is also the first prize?"

"Wow! Wow! That's amazing!"

"Three first prizes, Lu Li is amazing!"

When the third first prize was announced, the cheers of the girls turned into exclamations, and their gazes towards Lu Li were full of shock.

In four competitions, one person won the first place in three, which is too strong! Amazing! so amazing!

Lin Bo's face turned pale. Is there any reason for one person to take the first place in three items alone?

"Don't panic! There's more!"

Xue Song smiled and opened the fourth certificate of honor, "First prize in oil painting... Lu Li!"

"What? Four first?"

"My mother! Is this still human?"

"It's scary! Lu Li won the first place in all four categories!"

"Is this the world of the strong? Sure enough... terrifying!"

At this moment, the girls in the classroom jumped up in shock one by one, and their gazes towards Lu Li had turned into horror.

The big guy is so powerful! Not at the same level as us.

"It is the first time that one person has won four first prizes in all previous painting and calligraphy competitions."

Teacher Xue Song gestured to Lu Li, "This is the glory of Lu Li, and it is also the glory of our Yucheng No. 1 Middle School!"

Lu Li came to power and received four honorary certificates from Teacher Xue Song.

"Let's congratulate Lu Li on his victory with warm applause!"

The applause broke out, as did the cheers and screams.

The glorious record of winning four first place makes Lu Li a well-deserved first brother in the calligraphy and painting art projects for middle school students in the entire Rain City!

"Player gets Achievement Badge: Temporarily Emerging (E)"

"Won the first place in four of the city's painting and calligraphy competitions. You have taken a solid step on the road to master, and you have temporarily emerged."

"Players get a special badge: No. 1 in the city (E) (Glory × 1)"

"You won four first prizes in the city's painting and calligraphy competition. You are already well-known in the Yucheng art circle."

Glory badges are of a "reputation" nature and are directly related to fame.

Lu Li has won four first prizes in the city's painting and calligraphy competition, and is already well-known in the Yucheng art circle. This is an honor.

However...the beauty of sound and body is a "side door" after all. The city's painting and calligraphy competition has won the attention of the four firsts, but it is still not as good as the first in the city in the academic performance test.

"Lu Li, come with me."

After issuing the honorary certificate, Teacher Xue Song called Lu Li out.

In an office next to the studio, Xue Song and Lu Li sat down.

"This painting and calligraphy competition played well."

Teacher Xue Song looked at Lu Li and nodded in appreciation.

"It's all good teachers."

Lu Li smiled and sent a tall hat over.

"Haha! Little Slicker!"

Xue Song smiled and shook his head, "It's not that the teacher teaches well, the key is to rely on yourself."

Lu Li smiled and didn't answer.

Of course, Lu Li was very clear about this issue. The ability of a teacher can only be reflected in the pass rate. Those who get full marks in the test are all talented.

"You are very talented!"

Xue Song's expression became serious, "You have to take the artistic route. This time you won the first place in the city, which is a good start. Next... You will continue to participate in the competition."

"Following the artistic route, achievements and honors will eventually become fame. Fame represents the gold content of an artist."

Xue Song raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, and said, "Why are some people's works worthless, why are some people's works worth a lot of money? Exquisite skills are a prerequisite, but fame is essential."

"so……"

Lu Li had already guessed what Xue Song wanted to say, "I will continue to participate in various competitions?"

"Some messy games, no authoritative games, don't have to participate."

Xue Song smiled and said, "There are two competitions that you must participate in. One is the provincial middle school students' painting and calligraphy competition, and the other is the national middle school students' painting and calligraphy competition."

"These two competitions are large official competitions. If you can achieve good results, it is a very valuable honor."

Reaching out and patted Lu Li's shoulder, Xue Song smiled and said, "Come on! Prepare well. The provincial painting and calligraphy competition is in December, and the national painting and calligraphy competition is in March next year. Get me the first one!"

"Okay! I will work hard!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded.

The provincial painting and calligraphy competition and the national painting and calligraphy competition, Lu Li also checked the relevant information on the Internet.

Both competitions are large competitions organized by the official. The score of the competition can be added to the college entrance examination. Although... Lu Li can't use the extra points.

However, it's a chance to show your face, it's a great opportunity to show your talent to others.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second. If you say you are very powerful, if you say you are dreading the sky, then you have to show some results!

First in the province, first in the country. This is the result!

Lu Li smiled, I have done this kind of thing several times!

Xueba's plot won the world's first. The championship story also won the world championship. In art...is it difficult to get the first place in the country?

After school, Lu Li picked up the courier at the school gate.

The tools and materials for printing have been obtained, it is time to go back and carve a seal for yourself.

Back home, Lu Li unpacked. The tools for carving seals are carving knives, small hammers, files, fixed brackets, and sharpening stones. The stamp material is a pile of square stamp stones.

The literati usually have two kinds of seals: "name" and "number".

"Name" is naturally a name, and "number" is an "alias", such as Su Dongpo's "Dongpo layman" and Li Bai's "Qinglian layman".

Lu Li didn't rush to give himself any nicknames, so he took out an imprint stone and practiced imprinting.

Engraving is just the opposite of writing. Lu Li first wrote his name on the paper, and then traced it on the seal stone.

Install the fixing bracket on the desk, pick up the traced stone, fix it on the jaws of the bracket, and lock it.

Lu Li picked up the chisel in one hand and the hammer in the other, and chiseled it on the surface of the seal.

Lu Li had already learned the basic techniques online. Although the engraving is still a bit unfamiliar, it is also familiar.

Hit the hammer one by one, the chisel knife digs out a little bit, and the blank space outside the traced font is hollowed out little by little.

For the first time making a print, Lu Li didn't pay attention to "magnificence and quaintness", but just ensured that the handwriting was complete and the technique was correct.

"Calm" makes Lu Li not in a hurry or slow, "Ingenuity" allows Lu Li to accurately grasp the strength. A little bit of digging, a little bit of carving, an hour later, Lu Li's first seal was finished.

Blow off the stone chips on the printing surface, loosen the bracket, and remove the printing stone.

Picked up the seal, stained it with ink pad, and stamped it on a piece of paper next to it.

On the square seal, the two characters "Lu Li" with a straight edge and rigid strokes appeared on the paper.

"good!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded.
