Single Unlimited Wonderful Life

People in every place have their own eating habits. Neon people like to eat raw food. He will not stop him, but no one can persuade him to accept such eating habits. Chongguo has already appeared in the eighth century BC. I ate sashimi, but later people discovered that eating like this would cause diseases, so they gradually gave up this eating habit. Who knew that Neon would actually promote this kind of thing.

Sushi originated in the Later Han Dynasty, but was gradually eliminated in the subsequent development of food culture. However, there are flowers within the walls and fragrance outside the walls. Although sushi has been eliminated in Okinawa, it has developed a new lineage in Neon, which can be regarded as getting rid of the shackles of ancient times and embarking on a new path.

Excluding the raw sushi, the variety of cooked sushi is enough to satisfy a deli like Levi.

Because it has not yet reached the peak dining period, there are not many customers in the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Five people sit side by side, each taking the sushi they want to taste.

What makes Levi want to complain is that this place is marked as "self-service", which does not mean that everyone can eat whatever they want after paying a certain meal fee.

The buffet here simply puts the sushi on the conveyor belt for the convenience of diners. When the final check is made, the price is calculated based on the number of plates holding the sushi. Different plates are used for sushi at different prices.

The per capita consumption here is more than 50,000 neon yen. Compared with ordinary family restaurants where you can eat enough for 2,000 yen per person, it is indeed more luxurious. Although it is not as good as Ryotei, it is already outstanding in civilian cuisine. It can be regarded as the price ceiling.

As for the high-end restaurants, the average per capita consumption starts at 500,000 yuan for one meal. Except for those who are really rich, ordinary people and those who only have a little money really don't dare to go to restaurants. Even a rich young woman like Kasumigaoka Shiu can't afford the expense of Ryotei. In that kind of place, just to have a good meal. As for what to eat, it doesn't matter.

What Levi gets are all kinds of cooked sushi. It has to be said that the chefs in this sushi restaurant are very good at it. The various kinds of cooked sushi are also full of color, flavor and flavor, which caters to the appetite of a delicacy like him.

"Eh? Li Weijun, don't you try this salmon sushi?" An Yilun also saw that Li Wei had been eating cooked sushi and asked curiously.

Levi took a stack of roe sushi from the conveyor belt and said: "My stomach is not very good, and the challenge of raw sushi is really too high for me. As for raw sushi, roe sushi is what I accept. It’s the limit.”

Ordinary roe sushi also has sashimi in it, but the roe sushi in this sushi restaurant does not have sashimi in it. Instead, it is purely made of roe as the main ingredient, with cucumber shreds, carrot shreds and seaweed as auxiliary ingredients, and vinegar. Rice and light soy sauce, it tastes very good.

There is no sashimi, so the amount of fish roe is directly full. The entire surface of the sushi is covered with fish roe, which has a strong visual impact. However, the price of roe sushi is worthy of its appearance. A plate of two roe sushi costs 1,500 neon yuan, which is enough for a meal that can fill your stomach in an ordinary family restaurant.

After Kasumigaoka Shiu swallowed the sushi in his mouth, he picked up a big cup filled with drinks and said: "Let's celebrate, everyone. Congratulate the great sales of the first work of the great devil teacher, and strive to sell more than 500,000 single volumes. .”

When others heard Kasumigaoka Shiu's words, they all smiled and raised their glasses. As a member of the game production club, Levi is also the link that connects everyone. The entire club is vaguely headed by him, so on such an occasion , even Eri Sawamura, who was wary of Levi, did not put on airs.

"It's already good if it can exceed 100,000 volumes in sales. After all, whether the market will recognize such an anti-mainstream work is still a question. The editor-in-chief gave me such a high salary, and I felt a lot of pressure." Li Wei said.

Although Li Wei is confident in his work, he cannot guarantee that he can satisfy the tastes of public readers. He feels that even if he wants to celebrate, at least it must be after the results are released.

And after returning to the apartment tonight, he had to rush out a promotional picture overnight. If his physical fitness hadn't been extremely strengthened, it would be impossible to produce a promotional picture in one night.

"Today's Demon King is also speaking rakugo". The overall illustration style is different from the mainstream painting style on the market today. Levi adopts a thick-painted style, and naturally, the style of large-scale promotional posters must also be the same. Complex and refined impasto.

In addition, he needs to rush to produce new illustrations these days. Levi can't continue to play games and watch anime at night. He just turns on the computer in the classroom and does his own thing. This approach is too arrogant, even if Li Wei and A maverick like Kasumigaoka Shiyu would not do this, so Li Wei will be quite busy during this period of time.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled and said: "For many light novel writers, they have already won if they can be published. No matter what the final sales volume is, at least they have been published. Li Weijun's new work is a masterpiece that has been praised by countless editors. , sales volume of 500,000 per volume, very simple.”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's optimism also infected others, and the atmosphere in the small group suddenly became much more harmonious.

Chapter 39. The unexpected last-hitter

Levi tasted the cooked sushi in a leisurely manner, and occasionally joined in the conversation. He didn't talk much, but he was able to get to the point of the topic every time he spoke, which also made An Yilun and Sawamura Yinglili was surprised by his erudition.

Sawamura Eiri looked at Li Wei and said curiously: "Li Weijun, you were also admitted in advance to the Tokyo Metropolitan University of Arts. What is your opinion of the current painting art?"

Levi smiled and said: "To be honest, this question is a bit offending."

"Anyway, there are no outsiders, so it doesn't hurt to say it." Sawamura Eiri said that she was very curious about this issue, and he also wanted to hear what geniuses like Levi had to say about it.

"I can't understand the current painting art, or the so-called modern painting. Painting is for people to see, and it is to let the viewers appreciate the beauty. But modern painting has become a circle. The small circle of "Di Zi Meng" paints purely conceptual works that ordinary people can't understand at all, and they are completely out of touch with public aesthetics." Li Wei said it very euphemistically, if he wanted to be more direct, That is, the vast majority of modern painters are a group of liars.

"Although this is not the first time I hear such comments, I feel shocked every time I hear them. Modern painters also have strong refutations of this, refuting the critics as not understanding art." Sawamura Eiri sighed. She said that she studied classical oil painting and could not understand those weird modern paintings. If those painters were not allowed to explain their paintings, ordinary people would only see a bunch of messy color blocks and graffiti. He looked like a black man with a question mark face.

Li Wei took a sip of Coke, moistened his throat, and said, "You know Bai Juyi, the great poet, right?"

The four of them all nodded. Bai Juyi is a very famous poet in Neon, because Bai Juyi's poems are very suitable for beginners. Anyone who has done some research on classical literature cannot avoid Bai Juyi when learning Chongguo culture. Great poet.

Li Wei said: "Why are the works of Bai Juyi, a great master, so easy to understand? The reason is very simple. After this great poet created a new work, he would read it to the illiterate old lady. If the old lady could not understand, he would change it. , and kept changing it until the old lady could understand it. It is precisely because of this that Bai Juyi's works are very suitable for getting started with ancient Chinese culture."

Neon's high school students also learn simple ancient Chinese culture, and several people know Bai Juyi, a great poet, relatively well.

Li Wei continued: "My creative philosophy is similar to that of Master Bai Juyi. He wants to ensure that illiterate old ladies can understand his poems, while my philosophy is to create works that even people who do not understand art can understand." Paintings that can be understood. Those modern painters and I are not on the same path at all, so naturally we don't talk much about each other, and we all despise each other."

Sawamura Eiri nodded and said: "That's true. I went to the Museum of Modern Art to see an exhibition before. Except for the works of a few masters, I was confused by the so-called modern paintings created by most modern painters. .”

Li Wei smiled and said: "It's not that the modern sect doesn't have masters. Although I personally don't like the modern sect, I still have to admit that this sect has masters. But more of them are a group of mystical people who only seek fame and reputation. These people It’s just putting modernism in a bad light.”

Sawamura Eiri's expression was a little excited. She didn't expect that Levi had similar views to hers in this regard, which made her feel like she had met a close friend.

Li Wei smiled and said: "After that, I will show you some of my previous works, but in exchange, Yinglili, you have to show your own works. This can be regarded as mutual learning."

Ying Lili nodded. Although she had not seen Li Wei's paintings, she had heard the conversation between Li Wei and the library staff across the street in the coffee shop before. Li Wei was able to convince the library staff not to use illustrators but himself. To draw illustrations, this shows that Li Wei's skills are absolutely good, and his business style is also great. Only then can he convince the library staff.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious. A group of people were talking about something, and there was no longer the unfamiliar feeling before. Levi was very satisfied with this atmosphere. Although this game production company was just a tool in his hand, no one would dislike the tool in his hand. More convenient.

Levi also noticed An Yilun, who had begun to lose track of everyone's conversations, but he didn't hide his presence like Kato Megumi, so he just sat there without being able to say anything. I was a little embarrassed and could only eat with my head down, which was quite depressing.

Li Wei brought the topic to An Yilunye and said: "By the way, An Yijun, how have you done with your plan in the past two days? Although I also know that always asking such questions will make you I feel annoyed, but now the production company’s staff is in place, just waiting for your plan.”

Li Wei's tone was very tactful, as if he was afraid of hurting An Yilun, which made An Yilun even more embarrassed.

What Li Wei didn't expect was that the person who was doing the finishing touches turned out to be Eri Sawamura.

Sawamura Eiri said: "Lun Ye, Li Weijun is right. You came to me before and said you were going to make a love game, but the plan turned out to be too crude to be called planning at all. How many days has it been? It should be Is there a relatively detailed version?"

An Yilun also froze the hand holding the sushi in mid-air, and said with some embarrassment: "Wait a minute, the new version is still a little bit late. I have been busy running the activities department in the past two days, and the plan is only half written. I will The plan will be prepared as soon as possible."

An Yilun was also a little panicked in his heart. He was caught in the middle of a group of geniuses, just like a duck mixed in with a group of swans. A duck that can't fly can only look up at the swans soaring in the sky. This feeling, It was really uncomfortable, and he also wondered why he wanted to play games and embarrass himself so much.

Chapter 40. Promotional poster

Levi was slowly eating his sushi when he suddenly got feedback from the system.

An Yilun also began to doubt life again, and this time he was so cruel that he directly received 500 points.

Li Wei looked at An Yilun. An Yilun's face looked a little ugly at this time, but he didn't have any broken expression. If it weren't for the feedback from the system, he didn't know that An Yilun would be like this. Huge psychological fluctuations.

This round he gained 500 points, and now he has 1,200 points. Although this level of points still can't do anything big, it is much better than the previous one with nothing. The items displayed in the system mall are available for purchase. The options suddenly became brighter.

Sure enough, An Yilun is also a gold mine worthy of repeated exploration. Although this is a bit inhumane to An Yilun, Li Wei will not be merciful from his own perspective.

Levi said: "Then just wait a little longer. I'm already ready and can start at any time. However, without a plan, what can I do first?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu on the side said: "Without a plan, nothing can be done, we can only wait."

Li Wei said: "An Yijun, are you going to put your love game on the game platform, or will it take the physical disc route and be sold at comic exhibitions?"

As a Steam player, Li Wei also bought some love games on the platform. Neon's various love games are very expensive and not very discounted. Some time ago before time travel, he bought a new one. Chongguo's domestic love game is called "Three Color Painting Love", and he hasn't had a chance to play it yet.

Li Wei changed the topic and helped An Yilun relieve his embarrassment.

An Yilun also cast a grateful look at Levi. Levi didn't say anything and just continued to eat his own food. After all, some things were too deliberate and would attract the attention of people around him.

But Levi didn't expect that the first person to jump out for a finishing blow would be Eri Sawamura. He was a little confused. Isn't Eri Sawamura his childhood sweetheart? This finishing blow was really accurate. Yes, he directly stabbed An Yilun in the vital part, and directly broke An Yilun's defense. This was beyond his expectation.

Megumi Kato just glanced over there, then withdrew her eyes, and ate her food honestly. She had a much clearer idea of ​​her own position than An Yilun, so she didn't have so many psychological problems.

Kato Megumi's inner feelings towards An Yilun are not very good. After all, An Yilun also said that he wanted to make a game, but so far he has not been able to come up with a plan and just asked everyone to wait.

Everyone has their own things to do, and it is never a pleasant thing to be wasted by others.

In her opinion, An Yilun is also wearing down everyone's patience. If this continues, problems will occur sooner or later.

Megumi Kato is a very sensitive person. She has already seen the hidden dangers of this team. To put it simply, An Yirun is not qualified. As the main planner and source of inspiration for the game, she has not been able to provide any information until now. It is already dereliction of duty to ask other executives to wait for a specific and feasible implementation plan.

Megumi Kato can see clearly that although Yilun An also has a certain amount of talent, it pales in comparison to the other three producers on the team. An Yilun also does not have enough ability to maximize the strength of the three executives. This is his problem.

Stuffing a piece of cod sushi into his mouth, Kato Megumi continued to maintain his transparent attitude. Although An Yilun also has a passion, some things cannot be solved by enthusiasm alone.

After the show, everyone went home. A metropolitan city like Tokyo has more than 10 million people living here. It is precisely because of this that students in the same school live in various places. It is not easy to go home. Very normal thing.

After Levi returned to the apartment, he rested for a while, turned on the computer, and then took out ice cola and potato chips from the refrigerator. The cucumber-flavored potato chips were placed in the fresh-keeping room for a while. They had a different flavor than usual. Levi liked this very much. taste.

Opening PS, Levi connected the hand-drawing tablet to the computer. Now it is SAI's world, but Levi is still used to using PS. SAI is indeed sufficient most of the time, but Levi's own style is quite changeable, so in this case, PS, which is more compatible, is the drawing software that Levi uses most easily.

If you are painting in a thick-coat style, it is quite troublesome, but painting directly on the computer is much simpler. There is no need to repeatedly mix paints to match the background color, and there is no need to wait for the color blocks to dry. When it comes to computer painting, once the brush is opened, it is dry when it is full. If you make a mistake, you can revise it repeatedly. You don't have to worry about damaging the underlying paint and causing the picture to become dirty like in physical painting.

The most important thing is that computer painting does not require contact with paint and will not make yourself dirty. This is what Levi thinks is the most convenient thing about computer painting. With the composition already in mind, what Levi had to do was to copy the picture in his mind like a "platinum printer".

Levi's hands, in terms of JOJO's stand-in, are at least A-rated. Such a pair of stable hands can produce stunning works whether it is painting, sculpture, or calligraphy.

As for the promotional poster, the composition in Levi's mind is already very clear. Because it is a vertical poster, the male protagonist must be located in the upper center of the picture. At his feet is a gorgeous and complicated golden throne, which is carried by a large number of slaves. The golden throne is flanked by huge legions as far as the eye can see. In the background is a large, fantasy-style gray castle, and the gloomy sky makes the entire composition full of oppression.

The male protagonist is wearing gorgeous black and blue armor, sitting sideways on the throne, with his legs crossed, one hand supporting the side of his face, and the other hand holding a tall wine glass. On the side, there is a maid with wheat-colored skin who is kneeling on one knee, only showing the side face, and wearing cool clothes. The maid is holding a wine bottle in her hand, her head is lowered slightly, as if she is a little scared.

The whole painting is atmospheric and depressing. The male protagonist is like the big devil in a fantasy story. He looks down at the people who are watching the poster with a playful smile on his lips, as if he has seen something interesting.

This is not the first time for Levi to draw such a devil-type character. Practice makes perfect, whether it is the overall layout of the picture or the details of the accessories on the character, it is an extremely simple matter for him. This kind of only requires The feeling of painting step by step according to what is in my mind is quite pleasant.

Chapter 41. Dry girl

Levi found that his painting efficiency was much higher than before. He originally thought it would take him three hours to finish the promotional illustrations, not counting the time for subsequent detailed revisions.

But now, it only took him an hour to complete the drawing, and because he drew it according to the picture in his mind, there was no need for subsequent refinement, so he completed the work in an hour. As for the subsequent illustrations, Li Wei also has a picture in his mind, and is currently refining it virtually in his mind. After it is completed in his mind, he can follow the same process and transfer the pictures in his mind to reality.

"Working too efficiently can make you feel like you have nothing to do. This is the first time I've experienced this feeling. It's really good." Levi leaned on the ergonomic chair, exuding the smell of salted fish. .

This is the good thing about multi-threaded thinking. You can multi-task. The only side effect is that you get tired more easily than before. But as long as you don't squeeze yourself too much and only use two thinking circuits, the mental pressure is not great. The fatigue rate is still within an acceptable range.

After Levi saved the completed painting, he closed PS, unplugged the hand-drawing tablet cable from the computer, and then returned to the real world. He was going to get himself a high-end digital drawing screen.

He had taken a fancy to a high-end LCD painting screen before, but the price of that one was quite expensive, costing more than 60,000 soft sister coins. It was impossible for Levi to be so luxurious like before when he was desperately saving money. So he could only drool while looking at that LCD painting screen.

But it's different now. Now he has relatively abundant financial resources. An LCD painting screen worth 60,000 RMB is no longer a luxury for him.

Just when Li Wei opened the anime website and was about to continue browsing anime videos in this world, a prompt from LINE popped up, and Kasumigaoka Shiu's profile picture lit up.

(Li Weijun, are you working now?┴┤?ω?)?)

(I just finished drawing the promotional illustrations and am taking a break now.)

(Want to come to World of Warships?)

(If you want to play, you have to wait for me. I need gold, otherwise, there will be no high-end ships that can match you.)
