Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 116 The Value of the Tattooed Guy

"Uh, this time it wasn't me," Wu Xian quickly explained, "but rather thanks to my friends?"

Xu Lu was slightly taken aback, her gaze sweeping over Zhang Mazi and the others, her expression strange.

"Are you kidding me?"

It wasn't that Xu Lu looked down on the poor people in the shantytown, but these people in front of her didn't seem like any powerful figures. They all looked like hooligans, especially the bald man covered in messy tattoos, who didn't look like a good person at all.

After looking at them all, only Zhang Zihao, the league player whose popularity has recently skyrocketed, seems to be any good.

Is this an attempt to claim credit for the work done by the followers?
“I’m not kidding, these two servants of the evil god were indeed captured by them,” Wu Xian took a deep breath and said quite seriously, “I called you here today because I wanted to help these friends find a future.”

"?!"

Xu Lu was completely confused.

Without further ado, Wu Xian gave a brief description of the tattooed man's skills and value.

Xu Lu and the others were stunned.

"A human scroll tattoo?" Xu Lu's expression was strange. "Are you sure you're not joking?"

Wu Xian immediately gestured for Zhang Mazi to step forward. "Brother Zhang Mazi, I know you have grievances against the upper class, but now is not the time to act rashly. Only by joining the association can we ensure Tattoo Bro's safety."

"Ok."

Zhang Mazi sighed softly and immediately circulated his spiritual power, revealing the strange tattoo patterns all over his body.

Xu Lu and the others were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with amazement at this new thing.

"This...this...how is this possible?"

Feeling the fluctuations and power emanating from the mysterious tattoos on Zhang Mazi's body, Xu Lu was shocked as if her worldview had collapsed.

"Do you need me to demonstrate my strength?" Zhang Mazi asked calmly.

"No need, no need," Xu Lu hurriedly waved his hand. As a scroll artist, he could naturally feel how amazing the power emanating from the tattoo was. "But... how did you do that?"

Wu Xian pressed on, "Furthermore, this kind of transformation requires extremely high willpower and physical fitness. Therefore, they seem to have a very high resistance to the mental manipulation of the Evil God's Scroll."

This is the fundamental reason why they were able to capture those two servants of the evil god.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lu and the others gasped in shock.

Then, looking at the bald guy covered in messy tattoos, he suddenly seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

"I think the association wouldn't refuse such talent, would it?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

Xu Lu took a deep breath, looked at the tattooed men with a serious expression, and solemnly extended an invitation, "This matter is of great importance. Would you please come with me to the association?"

But then they saw Tattoo Guy and Zhang Mazi and the others all looking at Wu Xian.

After receiving Wu Xian's nod, they headed to the association under the guidance of Xu Lu and the others.

During the journey, Xu Lu and her companions were unable to calm down for a long time. They kept glancing at the slightly timid tattooed man and asking Wu Xian for details.

The association's attention to the tattooed guy also made Wu Xian feel more favorably toward the association.

"What? This method can also suppress the diseases caused by distorted pollution?"

Xu Lu covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, completely losing her composure.

Originally, I only came out of respect for Wu Xian, but I never expected to "find" such a huge surprise.

At this moment, Xu Lu was still wondering if she was dreaming.
Human body scroll art?

They are naturally highly resistant to the mental manipulation and mental attacks of the evil god's scroll.

Crucially, this method also suppresses the pathological changes caused by distorted pollution.

It was as if a group of people had suddenly descended from the heavens to deal with the evil god scroll painter.

Soon after, the group was seated in the association's VIP reception room.

The association was quiet in the middle of the night, the lights were dim, and there were only a few scattered night shift staff members. "Wait a moment, this matter is very important, the teacher will be here soon."

Xu Lu suppressed her shock and trembling as she waited for Chairman Cui Wenxuan to arrive.

Because the matter was too urgent, it couldn't be explained clearly in just a few words over the phone.

So when Cui Wenxuan was called over by his disciple in the middle of the night, he was still a bit grumpy from waking up.

"What's the matter that you called this old man over in the middle of the night?"

After entering the room, Cui Wenxuan glared at Xu Lu with annoyance.

"Teacher, I...I..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xu Lu became somewhat incoherent. It took her a while to calm down and recount the entire incident in detail.

Cui Wenxuan was initially a little annoyed, but the moment he heard about "human body scroll art," he immediately sat up straight.

After hearing everything, he remained outwardly calm, but he couldn't hide the shock in his heart.

Yes, it was absolutely stunning!
“Come on, young man, don’t be nervous,” Cui Wenxuan said solemnly to the tattooed man, “Could you please show me something right now?”

From a nobody in a shantytown, to suddenly facing Chairman Cui Wenxuan directly, the tattooed guy was so nervous he didn't know what to do.

In contrast, Zhang Mazi and his group remained relatively calm.

"Let me do it. I was planning to ask the boss to enhance the tattoo on my arm." One of the men, who was in his thirties, chuckled and stepped forward, gesturing for the tattoo artist to demonstrate on him.

Wu Xian silently encouraged him with his eyes from the side.

Although the tattoo artist was nervous and at a loss, he quickly immersed himself in the process once the tattooing began.

After a while.

Those who witnessed this "art" firsthand were all speechless with astonishment.

"My little grand-disciple, you've really given my association a great gift!" Cui Wenxuan's old face was completely out of control, and his breathing became rapid.

"The main reason is that I don't want my talent to be buried," Wu Xian said with a smile. "Besides, it seems that Tattoo Guy has already been targeted by the servants of the evil god."

"Rest assured," Cui Wenxuan said calmly but with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, "From today onwards, no one can harm him, and the name of this senior will be recorded in the annals of history!"
And we who are here today will be recorded in history because of our predecessors!

Indeed, Cui Wenxuan used the term "senior," which is enough to show how much he values ​​the tattooed guy.

Ultimately, under Cui Wenxuan's decisive arrangements, Tattoo Guy was formally invited to join the association, and Zhang Mazi and the others were incorporated into the temporary command center for exterminating evil, which was headed by Xu Lu.

For the tattooed guys, the changes that happened overnight felt like a dream.

Upon learning that Tattoo Guy was determined to obtain a scroll artist certificate but had been unable to gain recognition, Cui Wenxuan directly used his privileges as president to bring over several department heads overnight and present Tattoo Guy with a special scroll artist certificate on the spot.

"I've become a scroll painter?"

The tattooed man was trembling as he held the scroll painter's certificate in his hands.

In the past, he was worried that his "heretical and unorthodox" practices would not be recognized by the upper class.

But now, it has suddenly gained the association's recognition and certification.

Afterwards, Wu Xian and Cui Wenxuan walked side by side to the outside of the association.

"Don't worry, my little grand-disciple. It's an honor for the association to have you here, and we won't treat you unfairly," Cui Wenxuan promised Wu Xian again. "I just never expected that such a heaven-defying genius would be hidden in the shantytown. How come no one has discovered him all these years?"

"Yes, who would have thought?" Wu Xian couldn't help but sigh.

“Perhaps humanity’s exploration of this era of dimensional invasion is far from complete…” Cui Wenxuan’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, then he turned to Wu Xian with a teasing smile, “I think my little grand-disciple has quite a bit of potential, why don’t you come to my association with your senior?”

I can sense that you and the association are truly on the same page.

"What do you mean?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.
