How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 429 Painting Competition
"Um"

Time passed in silence. Yun Mu didn't draw much, but when One-Eared Mouse turned to the last page, he turned the comic back to the first page.

He repeated this action three times in total, and after looking at the drawing in his hand for the third time, the one-eared mouse sighed deeply.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a thought-provoking work," he said.

"How do you feel?" Yun Mu asked the one-eared mouse for his opinion, something more specific.

"Well, how should I put it?" Hearing Yun Mu's question, the one-eared mouse touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face: "I was a little confused when I first watched it. After all, it is an imaginary world view."

“Some things in it need to be read back and forth many times before you can understand them, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a good work.”

"Reflections on man and the church, man and God, man and nature, celestial bodies, and the universe"

"You guy." Yun Mu looked at the one-eared mouse with some surprise: "Were you really just an ordinary black market merchant before?"

In fact, she had wanted to ask the other party about this question a long time ago. After all, judging from the abilities shown by the One-Eared Mouse, the other party would be able to achieve great success even without Yun Mu.

"Haha, of course I'm just an ordinary black market businessman." The one-eared mouse chuckled and lay back on the chair: "It's just that after working hard, I unexpectedly found that I have some skills."

"Is there some level?" Yun Mu muttered thoughtfully, then shook his head.

"Forget it. I'll leave all the matters concerning this comic to you. Is that ok?"

The ability of the one-eared mouse is obvious to all. She is not as good as him in this aspect, so she should just be a hands-off boss as she did in the past.

"Of course, I will find a way to promote this work." One-Eared Mouse didn't care about it, or maybe he was used to it.

"As long as Teacher Mao's name is used, I believe familiar readers will come and read it," he said.

"Ah, about this." Hearing the words of the one-eared mouse, Yun Mu stretched out his finger and put it on his lips: "Just like Violet, remove the famous."

After all, it was not her original work, so she felt a little embarrassed to use her own name. But the original author could not be found in this world, and she would not go out of her way to see who the author was when she read many things.

So I have no idea what the original author's name is.

It’s better not to be famous and let the readers guess for themselves.

"Okay." Hearing Yun Mu's request, the one-eared mouse looked a little strange: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Hey, thank you for your help."

Smiling and waving his hands, Yun Mu stood up and walked out of the room: "Anyway, that's it, bye~"

"Ha, what a willful boss." Seeing Yun Mu disappear from his sight, the one-eared mouse shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Although I cannot use Yun Mu’s pen name "Sleepy Cat", fortunately the content of the comic itself is good enough, so there should be no problem.

As for the reason why Yun Mu did this, it should be related to the extraordinary realm?

The one-eared mouse was guessing in his heart.

"Long time no see, Frostfall City Painters Association."

Shortly after leaving Yunchao Publishing House, Yun Mu walked along the street and came to a familiar building in his memory.

Although he had the experience summary given to him by Helar, Yun Mu still came here because it was not far away and he might as well take a look along the way.

Pushing open the door of the association, the air of the early hurricane season immediately rushed into the building. Although winter has passed, in a cold place like the Frost Kingdom, even in the hurricane season, the temperature outside is quite different from that indoors.

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

A young man who seemed familiar and was standing not far from the door shivered when the cold wind blew.

Seeing this, Yun Mu smiled embarrassedly and quickly closed the door of the association.

The ability to sense blood spread to the surroundings and soon covered the entire association. She quickly locked on the position of President Si Xin.

Is this guy a fixed NPC? Why is he always on the second floor of the Painters Association?

Yun Mu complained in his heart, then walked down the stairs to the painting room on the second floor.

Knock on the door, then take the handle.

"Good afternoon, President Si Xin." The moment Yun Mu opened the door, he greeted the people in the room.

"Huh!?" Si Xin, who was holding the latest chapter of "Torina's Adventure" diary in his hand, was startled by the sound of the door opening, and hurriedly threw it into the painting world.

After seeing that it was Yun Mu who came in, he responded to her with a somewhat unnatural expression: "It's Miss Yun, what's the matter?"

She probably didn't see what he was holding just now.

President Si Xin couldn't help but think so in his heart.

Although he decided not to read "Torina's Adventure Log" during work hours after feeling Yun Mu's aura last time, how can I put it?
There were no problems for several days in a row, which made him relax his vigilance. What's more, he only had a short time to entertain himself when he got home every day, but the working hours were so long. The feeling that he could only watch for a while when he got home was really unbearable.

Si Xin swore that he really brought the comics to the Artists Association only today, because yesterday was the update log of Yunchao Publishing House, and the unedited version of the latest chapter of [Torina] would also be sold on the black market.

He must have watched the uncensored version directly, so he couldn't wait to bring it to the Artists Association after getting it this morning.
Damn it, why didn’t you come when I didn’t pick up the comics a few days ago! ?
President Si Xin roared in his heart.

As for whether Yun Mu saw what was in his hand?

The answer is of course yes. I definitely saw it!

As a fourth-order master-level transcendent, even though Si Xin reacted immediately and threw it into the painting world, she could clearly see the content of the comic.

"Ahem, Mr. President of the Painters Association, you don't want everyone in the association to know that you are watching..."

"Shut up, stop talking!"

President Si Xin's face darkened, and he looked at Yun Mu unhappily: "What on earth are you doing here?"

"That's a good question. The answer is - I don't know either~"

Yun Mu pretended to be cute and spread his palms, then laughed: "It's just that I haven't been back for a long time, can't I come to see the president?"

"I'd rather you didn't come." Si Xin thought about what had just happened and his tone was a little unfriendly.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this~" Yun Mu smiled and waved his hand.

She is not a gossipmonger who likes to spread rumors. Besides, to put it another way, "Torina's Adventure Log" is her work. Since President Si Xin likes it, she will not embarrass him.

"You better not."

"Ahem." Yun Mu coughed twice, "Okay, let's get down to business."

"President, you should know about my promotion to Master."

"So?" Si Xin heard: "Are you here to ask me about the Master's future path?" "Almost." Yun Mu nodded.

".Unfortunately, there is not much I can tell you about this." Si Xin stretched out his right hand: "I have been stuck at the master level for a long time. If there is any direction, I should at least be able to reach the threshold of the champion."

"But if you have some experience, I can talk to you about it."

"That's fine." Yun Mu nodded happily.

She was not lying in what she said before. She came here more with the intention of visiting President Si Xin and the Painters Association. After all, she had the stone tablet given to her by Herald.

She didn't expect to gain much from this exchange with Si Xin.

However, when the two began to communicate, both of them felt a little surprised and surprised in their hearts.

President Si Xin is very experienced in issues related to the world of painting, and is also quite experienced in expressing metaphors in paintings. Yun Mu gained a lot from communicating with him.

Si Xin was surprised that Yun Mu had just been promoted to a master not long ago, but he was very proficient in problems in various fields, and even he could learn something from it.

As a result, the two of them communicated more happily.

[After some communication, your skills [Spiritual Painting] [Painting Harmony] [Painting Substitute] [Construction Realization] [Delayed Trigger] [World in the Painting·Expand] skill proficiency has been improved!]
[Delay trigger lv1] → [Delay trigger lv2]

[World in the picture·Expand lv1] → [World in the picture·Expand lv2]

[You gained a small amount of experience!]
[Your spell power +3! ]
"Oh, right." Si Xin seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to Yun Mu, "The headquarters is going to hold a competition soon. Each branch must send someone to participate. I was still hesitating about who to send. I wonder if Miss Yun is interested?"

"Competition?" Yun Mu showed an interested look: "What competition? Tell me about it."

"It's a painting competition held by the headquarters. Both extraordinary people and ordinary people can participate. As long as they are members of the Painters Association, the content of the competition is nothing more than painting."

“Bring out your work and let the judges score it. The one with the highest score wins.”

"Isn't this unfair to ordinary people?" Yun Mu seemed a little confused when he heard Si Xin's words.

Isn't it pure bullying to let extraordinary people and ordinary people participate in the competition together?

Si Xin knew what she was thinking from her expression and immediately laughed: "Don't look down on ordinary people. There are many elderly masters in the association."

“Their painting skills are unquestionable.”

“But.” Yun Mu was still a little confused: “If their paintings were really that amazing, they should have become extraordinary people long ago.”

"Doesn't the fact that they haven't become extraordinary people mean that their paintings are not good?"

"Uh." Si Xin's face froze. "What you said does make some sense, but becoming a transcendent is not just about being good at painting."

"How should I put it? The important thing should be spirituality? Inspiration? Just like the first painting you made."

"Falling?"

With a thought, [Painting·Falling] appeared beside Yun Mu.

In a world filled with scarlet, only from the girl wrapped in darkness can one feel a little peace.

This is Yun Mu's first extraordinary painting, which was created under the influence of Scarlet.

From her current perspective, many of the contents and techniques of the painting have some flaws, but this painting has become an extraordinary painting.

However, many of Yun Mu's more detailed works are just ordinary paintings.

"Is spirituality important?" Yun Mu muttered Si Xin's words, and then nodded seriously: "I remember it."

"So, do you want to participate?" Si Xin asked her.

"Well, it's not a bad idea to participate, but I want to know the specific time and location of the competition."

"It will start in half a month, on April 4st, and will last for about a week. The registration location is at the association's headquarters in Yerga. Show the letter of recommendation I gave you to the receptionist at the front desk. As for the location of the competition, I have no idea."

As Si Xin was speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yun Mu, regardless of whether Yun Mu agreed or not.

"You guy, you have thought about it a long time ago, right?" Two black lines fell from his head, and Yun Mu took the letter of recommendation from Si Xin.

He pretended to have thought of it at the last minute, but the recommendation letter had already been written. It was obvious that this guy had been planning this for a long time!
But it’s not bad to go there.

Time is completely allowed, and if you participate in the competition, you can also meet elites from all over the Frost Kingdom. After all, each branch has limited places, and those who can participate in the competition must be veterans.

It is definitely not possible to work on anything alone, and she doesn't want to miss the rare opportunity to communicate with other painters.

Unfortunately, the headquarters of the Painters Association is not in the royal capital. She had originally thought of going to the royal capital to play with Brenna, but now it seems that there is no hope.

"Yerga, I've never been to that place," she said.

It has been a while since Yun Mu traveled through this world, and he has heard of the city of Yerga.

It is said that there are a large number of natural hot springs, which are quite popular in a place as cold as the Frost Kingdom.

Therefore, the tourism industry in that place is quite developed, but she had not expected that the headquarters of the Painters Association was also there!

"It would be nice to go on a trip."

"Right." Si Xin nodded with a smile, and then pretended to be envious: "Alas, it's a pity that I am the president of the branch, and I still have a lot of things to deal with, otherwise I would also like to travel to Yerga."

"Don't try that." Yun Mu rolled his eyes at him unhappily. "If you really want to go, I can take your place here and let you go over there to participate in the competition."

"Ah, really?!" Si Xin's eyes lit up.

".Of course I lied to you."

Yun Mu just felt that Si Xin usually stayed on the second floor of the Painters Association. He seemed to have no work at all and looked very idle.

But looking at his expression, it didn't seem like that, so he just changed his mind temporarily.

Is Si Xin usually very busy?

She couldn't help but doubt her own judgment.

"Alas, young people nowadays." Seeing Yun Mu's expression change instantly, Si Xin tilted his neck back in annoyance and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go quickly. I still have work to do."

"I'd like to wish you a happy trip in advance."

This was a lie. He actually wanted to quickly get Yun Mu away and read the rest of "Torina's Adventure Journal".

Yun Mu didn't doubt it. Seeing that the other party seemed to be trying to drive her away, she had no intention of staying and soon left the Painters Association.
