City of Sin: Sixteen Art

The life in the dark blue is tense and regular, and the time just slips inadvertently. Richard is still Richard, and his life hasn't changed. It's just that every month's bills began to increase a lot of inexplicable income, and 'Sharon's Delight' is always the largest piece of income. Richard has never understood how he made Sharon "joy", but every time he saw the bill, he would really feel the heavy gold content of Legendary Mage joy. If at least one Archmage wants such ‘joy’, it wo n’t take long before it goes bankrupt.

Although Sharon has been delighted, Richard can only maintain the balance of payments. Mage training requires huge consumption that ordinary people can't imagine, it can be said that there is no end. Moreover, the curriculum that Richard got recently has also changed. In addition to the major courses that everyone can go to, such as philosophy of magic, mainland politics, and alchemy, the number of small-scale courses on his curriculum suddenly increased dramatically, even when he When you enter the classroom at a designated time, you will find that there are only one student in some subjects.

This is by no means a good thing! At least Richard thinks so. Because every Archmage who teaches has a corresponding remuneration, according to the prescribed remuneration, all the students in the class will bear the share. Teaching alone means that Richard has to pay all the tutor's remuneration. Therefore, his monthly bill expenditure items are also rapidly expanding.

However, Richard found that after Legendary Mage was delighted for the first time, he suddenly received much attention from people around him. People often pointed at him in passing, encountering, and even in class, and then whispered to each other. Richard's perception is not powerful enough to detect what they are talking about, and they don't care. It's just this feeling of getting attention all the time, but it makes Little Richard feel uncomfortable all over his body.

The so-called strict secret of Legendary Mage only persisted for less than a week, and told the people in his core circle that he had accepted a future Runemaster as a student. These people also failed to insist on the full moon, and told this news to their heart and soul. After repeating this for less than two months, the entire dark blue knows that a future Runemaster is being born. Although there are endless uncertainties in the future, since this is the evaluation made by Sharon, it must be correct. Even if there are still doubts in people's minds, they will not be stupid enough to make them public. To be honest, stupid, without Legendary Mage hands-on, there are naturally a lot of people willing to eliminate, in exchange for ‘Sharon's Delight’.

So, as of now, only one person in the whole dark blue does not know who the future Runemaster is. The person who is blocked by this news is Richard. Of course, Richard does not feel abnormal. For example, I do n’t know why. Math, geometry, composition, aesthetics in the course ... All courses related to Magic Array have suddenly increased exponentially. Some courses even have students in the basic course. Later, he was the only student left. However, for these anomalies, Richard's reaction is only a little worried about the increased expenditures that the course implies.

Recently, Richard ’s curriculum has undergone new changes. Drawing tutorials have begun to increase in number, and the foundation of its introduction is sketching. Richard started learning in a whole new field. But the work he handed in always made the great painter who was once famous for Norland cry. Every sketch of Richard has reached the extreme of Precision (accurate), so that he can't find any flaws at all. But Shen Yun? Painting is art, not a simple representation of reality. But if the reality is reproduced to the point where it is indistinguishable from reality, can it also be called an art? Therefore, every time this great painter sees the work of Richard, he always wants to vomit blood. The paintings from Precision (accurate) to one-hundredth of a centimeter were like huge boulders that smashed heavily on his chest, crushing his belief and understanding of art again and again.

How could it be so Precision (accurate)! How can it be? !

But from beginning to end, the big painter couldn't utter a rebuke. Although Richard's paintings do not conform to the usual art of painting, no matter how extreme it is, it can be regarded as an art. And the painter who is Level 15 Grand Mage understands that Richard may not be artistic, but for Mage, especially Runemaster, this Precision (accurate) is a unique talent. So he couldn't say anything out of date at all. After all, no matter how enthusiastic he is about art, he can't ignore the weight of ‘Sharon's Delight’. Just as the building needs foundations, art also needs bread and gold coins to support it.

And if a future Saint Runemaster is ruined because of his preference, then it would be "Sharon's Rage". As long as he thinks of the possible prospects, this Grand Mage and big painter with a cleansing habit would rather go to be a polar gray dwarf **.

Richard is occasionally troubled by its own bill. He now adds a lot of ‘homework’, and on average, he needs to complete a small painting every night, two to five Magic Array exploded views, and a large number of Plane geometric homework. The difficulty of the content of the homework does not go to him, the key is that the stationery for writing the homework is of great value. The first is writing tools, which require the consumption of a large amount of special magic paper, such as star pattern paper, moon-scarred paper, abyss nightmare cloth, etc., as well as a variety of inks, from ordinary dark ink all the way to Luosga **** blood. Anyway, the common feature of these materials is expensive, and basically the longer the name, the more expensive. As for the Plane geometry, because it is a three-dimensional composition, it needs to be completed on the magic image of the magic experiment station. The amount of Magic Crystal consumed, Richard has no intention to calculate. All in all, he often sees the waiter carrying a box of brand new magic crystals in, and then moving the empty box out.

If it were n’t for the joy of Legendary Mage, Richard really did n’t know what to do with it, and now it can only barely maintain the balance of payments. In the use of time, I also encountered the same problem of not making ends meet. In addition to class and homework, he also needs Meditation and practicing magic skills, and the time spent on this part has been compressed to the limit. If it is reduced, it will really affect himself. Mana has grown.

In setting the expected growth rate of Mana, Richard uses the daily average of Low Level Mages as a comparison benchmark, and does not use alternatives such as Minnie for comparison. Even if it is only to maintain the basic speed of magic progress, it must rely on Mana Recovery Potion. Mana Recovery Potion with a unit price of 500 gold coins, if one bottle a day, it will be 15,000 gold coins a month. Another expensive expense.

Too little time, the only option left for Richard is to compress sleep time. But when he was growing up, the food he served every day was specially prepared, which contained several kinds of rare Demon Beast flesh and blood, which can condense the essence and accelerate the growth of the body. For such special food ingredients to have full effect, the common denominator is that they need enough sleep. Fortunately, there are many ways to do shallow Meditation through sleep. Although the effect is limited, it is better than nothing.

The problem facing Richard now is that there are too many things to do, and you have too little time. How to allocate limited time and resources to maximize the comprehensive effect is obviously a mathematical problem. And the difficulty of this problem will increase linearly with the increase of variables. It took Richard four full days. one by one sorted out the things to be done, and summarized them into several categories, listed the necessary steps, put Wisdom Blessing to the limit, and calculated the best distribution plan for substances, time and operation. Has been plagued by his own problems. These four days are extremely worthwhile, because as soon as the plan was formed, the ‘Precision (accurate)’ talent immediately produced a comparison of the benefits of the old and new plans. If you do not optimize the overall effect, then within one month, the time wasted by Richard will exceed the sum of these four days.

Only in this way, Richard found himself living like a most Precision (accurate) alchemy machine. But what does it matter, his world has been digitized, and he doesn't care about living a little more mechanically.

So in the life of Precision (accurate) like a magic clock, Richard ushered in his first spring in dark blue, and also ushered in his eleventh birthday. This morning, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

The boy standing opposite is already a teenager. Because the children in the mountains tend to grow taller, and the special supply of food accelerates and strengthens this growth process, the current Richard is more than half the height of children of the same age, and looks like 13 or 14 years old. His face is almost completely childish, and the quiet both eyes makes people think that it belongs to the eyes of adults. Maybe it has experienced too many changes, maybe it is inherited from the bloodline of his father Gordon. The face contour of Richard has a little rigid line, and it seems to have a bit of a man taste. On the other hand, his appearance is more inherited from the traits of the Silvermoon elf traits. The long and slightly curved both eyes, the slender eyebrows, and the tall and straight nose are all high blood elves. Some characteristics. Richard doesn't care about his appearance, but a large number of painting and aesthetic courses also let him understand that his appearance is not good ...

It ’s very rare ... The ‘Precision (accurate)’ talent immediately corrected his misconception.

But what about that? Little Richard didn't take it seriously at all. Half a year of intensive education has deeply branded his thinking. That is that power is everything, and beautiful things are just appendages of power, just as a beautiful woman is a necessary medal for a big man.

Of course, the increasingly extensive knowledge let Richard know that in many cases, beautiful men are more rare medals.

Anyway, Richard is eleven years old this year. Children in the mountains mature early, and it is not without them that they start a family at the age of twelve. Recalling the first ten years of life, whenever he was on his birthday, Elena would give him a summary of this year and tell him what he got in this year. But this year?

Eleventh birthday, Richard only has a mirror that reflects itself, and the blazing fire in memory.
