Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 5 Hand-drawn Saw
Chapter 5

"High-level painters are all like Ma Liang with his magic paintbrush."

Rosen activated his spiritual possession again, and this time he spent half an hour drawing a steamed bun.

After drawing it, I just held it in my hand and ate it in big bites.

Exactly twelve seconds passed, and the last bite of steamed bun in my hand vanished into thin air.

However, the feeling of fullness from the steamed buns he had already eaten had not disappeared. It was clear that although the things drawn by the spiritual entity had a time of existence, they were indeed real and true. With two points of spiritual energy restored every day, he would never starve to death with this skill alone.

After two consecutive spiritual possessions, Rosen rediscovered the importance of fundamental drawing skills.

Indeed, one can transform into a human printer by using extraordinary source energy, but in this state, one cannot perform spiritual attachment. When spiritually attached, one still needs to draw normally, which is even more difficult than drawing normally. The greater function of the human printer state is to assist in mastering drawing techniques.

Rosen now truly understands why the artist sequence is one of the three major sequences of human civilization.

……

Six days later, Rosen had infused the main god's computer with ten units of spirituality.

He hasn't been idle these past few days, honing his drawing skills every day.

The artist sequence is a sequence of human civilization, so there is no need for potions to improve the sequence level. You only need to keep going in your respective professional sequence, and your spirituality will naturally grow. The way to grow in the painter sequence is to hone your painting skills and paint with spirituality.

However, after six days, Rosen did not feel that he had improved much.

It seems that even for painters who are relatively resource-efficient, it still requires a lot of resources to quickly improve their spirituality.

He can draw two units of spirituality per day, which is also due to the double bloodline glory that adds two points of spirituality. Other painters can only use one unit of spirituality per day. Without decades of time, it would be almost impossible to raise their spirituality cap to eleven points by painting with spirituality.

There was only one way Rosen could think of to shorten this time.

Ordinary paintbrushes and paper require him to infuse them with spirituality to create spiritual paintings.

However, if the paper and brushes themselves contain spirituality, then they will inevitably be able to create more spiritual paintings, and thus bring about a faster growth efficiency for one's own spirituality. But it is obvious that paper and brushes containing spirituality are certainly not cheap.

Therefore, without money and resources, it's difficult to traverse any extraordinary path.

Rosen turned on the main computer and selected Saw 1, consuming ten units of spiritual energy to activate it.

The media player opened instantly, and Saw 1, which I had watched many years ago and had almost forgotten, began playing on the screen.

Rosen immediately realized something was wrong, because the movie playing on the screen seemed to be real. The world of Saw was real, and the screen was just a window into that world, allowing him to see everything happening on the other side.

Rosen understood somewhat; this was probably the true nature of the virtual spiritual realm.

The virtual realm already exists within the main god's computer; there's no need for him to draw it.

Rather than saying he wanted to use the computer of the main god to create a virtual spiritual realm, it would be more accurate to say that his paintings were merely a medium connecting the virtual spiritual realm and reality. With this in mind, he picked up his paintbrush and canvas and began to paint everything he saw onto the paper.

Because he's like a human printer, Rosen's drawing speed is terrifyingly fast.

The essence of a movie is nothing more than a series of still photographs forming a dynamic visual composition.

If human vision were powerful enough, if human vision could slow down time, then in the face of such vision, what we see in a movie would not be a continuous, smooth film, but a series of static, separate photographs.

The standard for film projection is 24 frames per second, which means 24 photos are played continuously per second.

Saw 1 is 103 minutes long, which means the film consists of 148,320 still photos.

Rosen has now become a human printer, able to complete a reproduction of a photograph in an average of two minutes. However, even at this terrifying speed, it would take 206 days of non-stop work to complete all 148,320 still paintings without sleep, and that's assuming he doesn't eat, drink, or worry about muscle wear and tear. In reality, at this speed, his hands would go numb after only one or two hours.

So Rosen quickly stopped and took out his drawing tablet from the drawer.

Then shrink the player and place it in the upper right corner, and then open the drawing software.

He wants to recreate a movie through drawing, which is impossible to achieve with the efficiency of a camera. His approach is more like making an animated film, only a lifelike one, and he can greatly improve his work efficiency by using drawing software.

The story of Saw takes place in several rooms filled with traps, and involves only a few main characters.

Rosen only drew a full-body portrait of the protagonist, Adam, and he immediately discovered that Adam, drawn using the drawing software on the God's computer, could come to life on the screen at his will, whether it was reaching out, lifting a leg, or doing a backflip, his movements could be changed at his will.

Combined with the drawn room background, it can almost perfectly replicate the scene in the movie.

However, inanimate objects are fine, but when it comes to human figures, the figures drawn in this way look like robots with no expression.

Rosen immediately realized that this was due to a lack of spirituality, so he began to shift the focus of his painting to inanimate objects. He painted so intently that he forgot to eat and sleep until the next day. By then, the two units of spirituality he had consumed had been restored, and he immediately extracted them and integrated them into the main god computer.

This time, the protagonist Adam was indeed brought to life and could display various expressions as he wished.

He looked at Adam in the player with his left eye and at the Adam he had drawn with his right eye. Gradually, the movements and expressions of the two Adams began to synchronize. He then used the image saving function of the drawing software to save the Adam he had drawn as a static image at a frequency of 24 frames per second.

Then the static Adam images are stitched onto the static background, and finally printed out in full.

After seeing the finished product, Rosen fell asleep immediately, and after waking up, he immediately continued painting.

With the help of drawing software and spiritual painting techniques that can bring inanimate objects to life, he completed and printed out all 14 still images of Saw 1, which were 8320 frames per second, in just one week.

In the end, to save on printing paper, we had to reduce the size of the still image before printing.

Even so, all the printing paper and color ink had been used up.

The moment the last still image was printed, the faint spirituality contained within it acted like a thread, connecting these printed still images with the virtual spiritual realm corresponding to Saw 1 within the main god's computer. These still images also transformed into something like a key.

Rosen spent two days cutting out all the static paintings, each the size of a matchbox.

There are a total of 148,320 still images, each of which is a key to enter a virtual spiritual realm.

All it takes is to give a still image to an ordinary person. Once that person is asleep, their consciousness will be drawn into a virtual spiritual realm, where they will become a completely new character in the movie, as if they have traveled into the movie and are writing their own story.

Then, without realizing it, a trace of their spirituality is drawn away; the number of individuals is small, but the total number of people is large.

If 148,320 ordinary people enter the virtual spiritual realm every night, they can gain approximately 14,832 units of spirituality each day. This number may not seem like much, but it only takes half a month of his time.

You receive 14,832 units of spiritual benefit every day, which adds up to a considerable amount over time.

Especially since this is just a virtual spiritual realm, the spiritual energy actually captured by the main god's computer is a hundred times greater than this. However, the remaining spiritual energy becomes the nourishment needed for the virtual spiritual realm to grow into a real spiritual realm. Once the virtual spiritual realm becomes a real spiritual realm, the spiritual energy produced every day will increase dramatically.

The spiritual energy generated by these virtual spiritual realms is too chaotic to be directly absorbed, nor can it activate more movies on the main god's computer.

Therefore, creating more virtual realms still requires Rosen's own efforts.

However, these spiritual resources can be used to create spiritual resources. Everything in the virtual spiritual realm of Saw 1 can be exchanged for spiritual resources based on its complexity, including the spiritual paper and pen that Lawson wants most right now.

While it may not be as good as specialized drawing paper and brushes, it can still conserve one's spiritual energy when creating spiritual artwork.

Based on this calculation, it would take at most six months for his Painter Sequence 9 to reach the peak of 12 points of spirituality.
