Game of the World Tree Chapter 552: Cartoonist and assistant

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!

March is the season when everything revives and spring flowers bloom.

After the short Spring Festival holiday, the Imperial Capital of China also ushered in a surge of rework, and once again fell into extreme prosperity and noise.

Cao Lingxuan is one of them.

As a Beijing drifter who graduated from college three years ago, after spending a short vacation in her hometown, she once again embarked on a journey to chase her dreams.

There is no way, her major is art. As a girl who loves painting and comics, and hopes to become a cartoonist one day, there is no way for her to do this in a small place like her hometown that is not even fully covered by the virtual network. Show your fists and kicks.

Only in a big city like the Imperial Capital can she find a job that suits her.

Walking on the busy road, thinking about the future development, Cao Lingxuan sighed slightly.

She really has mixed feelings about the rapid development of virtual networks in recent years.

On the one hand, with the development of virtual networks, many freelancers in the entertainment industry have greater freedom to work, and the cartoonist industry has also greatly improved work efficiency due to further optimization of various drawing software. There is no need to sit for a whole day for painting like in the early 21st century.

On the other hand, the rapid expansion of virtual entertainment is also compressing the living space of traditional entertainment, such as comics and novels. If you are not a real master, it is difficult to earn enough income from comics alone.

In order to attract readers from the dazzling variety of entertainment activities, even the top cartoonists in the industry must rack their brains to create better works.

It frees up your hands, but makes your brain work harder.

Many times, the time for conception far exceeds the time for creation.

No wonder teachers in the industry complain that in this era, although it is becoming more and more convenient, the pressure is also increasing.

Collect materials, conceive, create...

Time seems to be abundant, but in fact... it feels like it is becoming less and less.

Shaking her head, Cao Lingxuan walked into an old-fashioned apartment.

Going straight to Unit 307 on the third floor of the apartment, the girl knocked politely on the door, but there was no movement inside.

Cao Lingxuan frowned, leaned against the door and listened, hearing loud music coming from the room.

Hmm... I say it's noisy, but in fact it's just that the loudspeaker is louder. To be honest, it sounds pretty good.

It is not electronic music that is popular on the Internet, but a pure music with a unique style. It has a little bit of a classical flavor and seems to have an indescribable exotic style, which makes it easy for people to fall into it.

It is not that Cao Lingxuan has never heard of similar music. It was a kind of niche music that gradually began to spread in a small area last year and became more and more popular as time went by. It was called For "elf wind".

Cao Lingxuan didn’t know which genius created the “elf style” music, but under the influence of someone, she also saved one or two songs in her mobile phone. Whenever it was quiet at night, she would put on headphones and fall asleep with the music. .

Don’t mention it, the effect of falling asleep is quite good.

Just don't read the comments section.

Because this music seems to have a different kind of empathy, it always attracts a group of "depressive" patients to do misfortune below...

So, girls always block the comment area.

After sorting out her image, Cao Lingxuan skillfully took out a key from under the flower bed and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol and sourness hit her face, making her frown.

The room was very dark, the curtains were not even opened, and there were bags and bags of garbage piled up at the door.

It can be said that... it is a mess.

Cao Lingxuan had a dark look on her face.

"Hey, it's like this every time..."

She sighed helplessly, entered the room, opened the curtains, and turned off the music. Then she kicked a humanoid object that was sleeping soundly holding the stealth capsule, and shouted:

"Teacher Black Cat! Don't sleep! Get up!"

Shocked by the girl's shout, the humanoid object on the ground almost jumped up, and a slightly aged male voice sounded at the same time:

"The manuscript is about to be submitted? It's almost done! It's almost done! Just give me one more day, just one day!"

This is an uncle who looks to be in his thirties. Although he looks good, he is unshaven, unkempt, and has a pair of deep dark circles under his eyes...

His eyes were still a little confused.

Until... I met Cao Lingxuan's eyes.

Uncle:......

Cao Lingxuan:......

"Ahem, it's Xiao Cao... I thought he was the editor."

The man coughed twice and said awkwardly.

Cao Lingxuan:......

Black Cat, male, real name Mao Mo, 33 years old, single.

He is a well-known cartoonist in the Chinese comics industry. He made his debut by creating comics with fantasy themes about other worlds. Although the themes are old-fashioned, he always has unconstrained ideas and is often able to create exciting stories full of tension, so he also Has a very loyal fanbase.

Cao Lingxuan is his assistant. While helping him as an assistant, she also learns some comic skills from him.

However, as an assistant, the girl feels more like a nanny.

Looking around the miserable room, she sighed:

"Teacher Black Cat, it's time for you to find a girlfriend."

"Ahem...a girlfriend is not as fun as a virtual game. It's nice to be alone, so comfortable."

Mao Mogan laughed twice.

Cao Lingxuan:......

"Hurry up and wash up! I heard your tone just now. Is it possible that the manuscript has not been finished yet? You promised the editor to submit the manuscript before three months ago. Half of March has passed. Go to the website immediately. Is it the deadline?"

"Ahem... isn't this my favorite game that has suddenly been released for public testing in the past two days? Hey, it is also very important to collect materials! Besides, without you, I am a little too busy to draw alone."

"These are all excuses. How old are you to still be so playful?"

The girl rolled her eyes and then started to help the other person clean up.

The virtual world is a virtual world after all. In Cao Lingxuan's view, those who are addicted to the virtual world are just losers who are satisfied with their self-control and escape from reality.

However, as a big boss in the comics industry, he always has "privileges", and Cao Lingxuan couldn't say much.

After listening to the girl's words, Mao Mo also scratched his head and walked to the bathroom with his big slippers.

Half an hour later...

Mao Mo, who had washed up again, sat at the dining table and ate takeaways with relish. The whole room was also cleaned up by the girl and returned to tidiness.

However, Cao Lingxuan raised her eyebrows when she saw the brand new sneak cabin in the room:

"Teacher Black Cat, didn't you just buy a sneak cabin the year before last? Why did you buy another one?"

Hearing the girl's question, Mao Mo was shocked. He wiped the oil on his mouth with a tissue, and then said enthusiastically:

"Hey, Xiao Cao! I haven't told you yet! This sneak cabin is prepared for you. From now on, our office will be completely moved to the game... ahem, no, it's on a virtual network. By the way, Can play...um...no, can also draw materials!"

Cao Lingxuan:......

"You just wanted to say play games, right!? You must have wanted to say play games, right?! If you spent all your time playing games on creation, your works wouldn't always be so difficult to produce!"

"But the materials are true. You also know that in this industry, it is not good to rest on your laurels."

Mao Mo scratched his head and smiled sarcastically.

Cao Lingxuan:......

Listening to the other party's sophistry, she had a dark look on her face.

However, in a sense, there is some understanding.

This kind of thing is quite important for creators.

Inspiration often comes from life, but also from the collision of ideas with other works. The other party can be a game, a novel, a movie, etc...

It's just... this well-known cartoonist teacher seems to have been playing games for a little too long.

Cao Lingxuan still remembers that when she met her two years ago, she spent almost two-thirds of her day playing virtual games.

Since last year, he has restrained himself a lot. It seems that Teacher Black Cat has lost interest in most virtual online games overnight and spends most of his time watching game videos.

I still keep talking about some masterpiece, other online games are rubbish, when will I be able to get a quota...

The result...are my hands itchy again?

"So...what happened?"

Cao Lingxuan asked while pouring water for the other party.

Hearing the assistant's inquiry, Mao Mo perked up.

He said excitedly:

"Hey, Xiao Cao, let me tell you! I got a spot in "Elf Kingdom"!"

""Elf Kingdom"..."

Hearing this unfamiliar and somewhat familiar name, Cao Lingxuan's eyes were slightly confused.

But soon, the valve of memory suddenly opened.

"That game that made headlines last year? An online game that signed up tens of millions and only recruited tens of thousands of people?"

she asked.

She is not very interested in virtual online games. The only thing she knows about is this news from last year.

Hmm...

Right.

This seems to be the game video that Mr. Black Cat is addicted to.

Even in the plot created a while ago, there is an elf girl named Ifreya who believes in the goddess of life, with silver hair and purple eyes...

I don’t know if it was affected by it.

Cao Lingxuan still vaguely remembers that at first she thought the other person was watching a movie on the video network. When she found out that it was a game screen, she was still surprised. She didn't expect that games nowadays are so realistic.

"Haha, you really still remember!"

Mao Mo slapped his thigh.

"This is the game! This time there are 200,000 places open, and I finally qualified! After I finish eating, we will play together... Well, let's go get information together!"

Cao Lingxuan:......

"Congratulations, if I remember correctly, the number of people signing up for this game seems to be exaggerated... However, I didn't sign up, and... the deadline is coming soon, don't you really hurry up and finish the manuscript? !"

After hearing what the girl said, Mao Mo smiled, and then said mysteriously:

"Manuscript? No rush...it will be online today. You will know when you enter the game later! In addition, you don't have to worry about the quota, I have bought it for you a long time ago!"

"Buy?"

Cao Lingxuan was stunned.

"Yes, of the 200,000 quotas opened this time, 10,000 are reserved and can be purchased directly. I was lucky enough to buy both of our quotas."

“You don’t know, it’s so popular! I squeezed in for several nights and refreshed it again and again, and finally successfully refreshed it. Many people wanted to buy it but failed to refresh it! I don’t know why the game is so good. , why is the system of the official website so poor..."

Mao Mo complained.

He looked very proud and proud, not like an uncle in his thirties, but like a child who got his beloved toy.

Cao Lingxuan:......

She felt that she vaguely knew why the other party looked so depressed.

I dare you to stay up all night and check the website for several days! ?

It’s hopeless.

However, she did not dare to ask the price of this quota...

Tickets for a popular singer's concert will be sold at sky-high prices. Even if Cao Lingxuan has never paid attention to this virtual game on weekdays, she has heard of the other party's name. Only tens of thousands of people can apply for it. Isn’t the price of this kind of default quota more exaggerated?

Now...she felt a little uncomfortable refusing.

Forget it, just accompany the other person to collect information, who is the teacher and the boss at the same time?

Cao Lingxuan sighed in her heart.

"Okay, Mr. Black Cat, I can play with you, but you have to make sure you are just picking up materials and not indulging! And... the most important thing is to remember to catch up on the manuscript! After playing for a while, you have to catch up on the manuscript! Otherwise, I can call the editor!"

The girl said.

Mao Mo’s expression changed slightly:

"Don't... don't call the editor! Just a moment, just a moment, just get the materials, the specifics... we will talk about it after entering the game!"

After hearing the other party's assurance, Cao Lingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

When Mao Mo finished eating, at the urging of the other party, the girl lay down in the sneak cabin unaccustomedly.

The game has already been played by the opponent. According to Mao Mo’s guidance, Cao Lingxuan called out softly:

"Start the game - "Elf Kingdom"."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pleasant female voice sounded in his ears:

【Ding——】

【Game connection successful...】

【Loading game...】

【Loading successful. 】

Familiar music slowly sounded as the system beeped softly.

When she heard the melodious and beautiful melody, Cao Lingxuan was slightly stunned.

"Emerald Forest?!"

Emerald Forest is the number one song in the download list of a certain cloud-suppressing elf-style music. It is also a song in the favorites of the girl's mobile phone and is often played when she falls asleep.

The melodious and brisk melody makes people feel like they are running in a beautiful forest or wandering in a dreamy wonderland...

Cao Lingxuan never expected that she would hear this familiar tune the moment she logged into the game!

And when I think of the name of this game...

For a moment, a bright light flashed in the girl's mind.

""Elf Kingdom", elves, elf-style music..."

"This...can't be right? What I have been listening to is game music? The source of elf-style music is actually "Elf Kingdom"? A game actually created a new music genre?! This is Game company or music company?"

At this moment, Cao Lingxuan felt very surprised.

No, it’s not just an accident. As an all-rounder who also studied music, she really knows how difficult it is to create a new music genre that is loved by the public!

Until now, she can’t figure out what instruments are used to play elf-style music. She can only guess that it is electronic synthesis...

To put it bluntly, she has always felt that elf-style music can definitely leave a name in the history of music!

The next second, her vision lit up and she entered the character creation interface.

"Huh? Face pinching system?"
