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

Chapter 85 The Five-Dimensional Rating of the Laurel Branch
The key is that, given the style of the Five Gods of Wealth, the ingredients must be of a high standard.

Not to mention Mr. Hu's side, even the association might not have the goods.

However, according to my master, the association has many scrolls depicting the domains of various forces, so perhaps we can consider obtaining materials about the four little gods of wealth from these scrolls.

To get into the association's instance, you either need to officially become a member of the association or you need to pull strings and spend money.

My mentor's connections shouldn't be a problem; the key issue is money.

"Wouldn't it be great if my master was a little rich woman?"

He recently discovered that Xue Lingling only gave the impression of being very rich; in reality, she was a poor, wretched woman.

I spend almost all the money I have on scroll research and divine illustrations.

Even so, he still had to occasionally make some "ill-gotten gains" from the Xue family.

However, once the sales of the Demon King series of scrolls pick up, the situation should improve considerably.

"Hey~ Isn't there a rich kid who wants to join the club?"

While frowning in distress, he suddenly thought of Wang Xiaocong, this little rich man.

Although it's not very fair to "take advantage" of others like this, isn't our club going through a difficult time right now?

Moreover, we won't use you for nothing. We'll send you some wealth and blessings so that your grandfather, Mr. Wang, can return to being the richest man in Yaoyang City.

We'll keep doing this until we become the richest man in Yaoyang City!

Before bed, I habitually pray to the God of Wealth, and then spend the rest of the night practicing meditation.

The next morning, after a hearty meal and drinks, we began our daily physical training.

jingle!

A message came through WeChat from Xiao Yu, a pure and innocent girl, who wanted to order three sets of Chicken King and Divine Tiger products and sent a deposit of one million yuan.

These must be her roommates. Later, Xiao Yu herself sent a deposit of 200,000 yuan, wanting to try out Wu Xian's other works.

"Does Master Wu have any recommendations?"

"What Master Wu? Just call me Brother Xian or Brother Gongming. We're legitimate businessmen, we don't put on airs like other scroll painters," Wu Xian replied warmly.

"Gongming?" Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.

"My name is Gongming."

“Okay, Brother Gongming.” Xiao Yu was secretly surprised, after all, it was quite rare to see people with a courtesy name these days.

In fact, Wu Xian didn't have any business name; he was just trying to ride on the coattails of the God of Wealth's popularity and good fortune.

"My ten most handsome men each have their own unique characteristics and strengths. I wonder if you have any specific requirements, young lady?"

"I don't have any specific requirements, as long as it's impressive. If I had to say... do you have any picture scrolls featuring female figures?"

"..." Wu Xian's lips twitched: "We don't really have any for now. How about small animals? Like cute little bees, cute little leopards, cute little goldfish, cute little sparrows or something?"

There's a saying that goes, "When you're doing sales, your face doesn't exist."

Xiao Yu sent a string of dots, after all, she had already seen the pictures and images of the five Yin Marshals, so she naturally knew what kind of style the "little cutie" Wu Xian was talking about was.

"If you really want a women's picture scroll, it's not impossible to customize one for you, but the price will be higher."

To be honest, Xiao Yu's request really reminded him.

Although there are few women in the underworld, there is one who can actually do it.

That's right, it was Meng Po, this low-level unofficial staff member.

Although he knew that Meng Po had a terrifyingly powerful background, her position was low. If he ignored her mysterious background, he might actually be able to do it.

"Custom-made?!" Xiao Yu was stunned. "Scrolls can be customized?"

In all her life, she had never heard of any scroll painter who could customize original scrolls for clients.

"Yes, I have some initial ideas. As long as the money is available, everything will be fine."

"Um... let's choose a small animal instead."

Xiao Yu replied weakly, saying that although her family was well-off, she really didn't dare to take the risk.

If I save up some money later, I might consider taking the risk and giving it a try.

"Okay, so do you want a little bee, a little goldfish, a little leopard, or a little sparrow? Oh right, I've officially entered the picture scroll market now, and the prices have dropped quite a bit. You can check the specific prices on the Ghost King Club's official website."

After searching and checking, Xiao Yu replied happily: "Great, then my budget can buy two servings."

Ultimately, on Wu Xian's recommendation, they chose [Wasp Commander] and [Leopard Tail Commander].

If I remember correctly, the city of Shangjing, where Xuantian Academy is located, seems to have both Zerg Dimensional Rift and Beast Dimensional Rift. These two great generals will definitely give her a great dungeon experience.

After finishing, I immediately drew a copy of "The Great General with the Leopard Tail" and sent it along with several other ready-made copy scrolls.

"Life is getting better and better." I wonder where Grandpa is now? Is he eating well? Is he dressed warmly?

I couldn't get through to him by phone, so I only left him the phone number of an old comrade-in-arms.

Thinking of the old man makes me feel quite sad.

Yujian headed to the Bubble Arena to participate in the competition.

Half an hour later, the battle was easily resolved.

When Chicken King encountered a chubby Pokémon-type baby, it was so frightened upon its appearance that it immediately burrowed into its opponent's arms.

The half hour was entirely spent waiting to go on stage.

After the competition, it was learned from a message sent by Xue Lingling in the group that the five-dimensional performance testing instrument that had been ordered had arrived.

Wu Xian didn't even have time to wait for the other members to finish their matches; he rushed straight to the club.

The installers had just finished installing the instrument when the master and apprentice looked at the brand-new testing equipment with great joy.

"Don't you want to be tested? Why don't you give it a try?" Xue Lingling chuckled and gestured. "I already tested them when I was testing the equipment, and the Ghost Kings' five-dimensional scores have improved quite a bit."

Without wasting any words, Wu Xian put the Yin Marshal scrolls into each one for testing.

First and foremost are the Black and White Impermanence. After being upgraded to silver switches and having their materials optimized, the improvement is indeed significant.

Color: 65 (↑22)

Details: 89 (↑29)

Shen Yun: 110 (↑17)

Art style: 121 (↑13)

Overall: 124 (↑23)

Among them, the improvements in color and detail are the most noticeable, resulting in a significant increase in the overall score.

However, the spirit and style of the painting were already very high because Wu Xian had already raised them to a high level, so the improvement was relatively small.

"Hiss~ Except for the color, it's almost as good as my Golden Scroll Soul Devouring Ghost King!" Xue Lingling clicked her tongue in amazement.

We're basically at the same level, but my scroll concept and drawing skills are even better than yours. Is it strange that I've caught up in five dimensions?

Of course, he only thought these things to himself, secretly enjoying the moment.

Subsequent tests on other Yin Marshals revealed that they were basically at the same level as Black and White Impermanence, only slightly inferior.

Overall, it's not bad.

The God of Wealth will definitely wait until no one is around to secretly come and inspect, but there's no need to hide the [Laurel Branch].

Ding!
The test is complete, and the five-dimensional data is displayed on the screen.

【My Destiny Flying Sword - Laurel Branch】

Coloring: 38
Details: 41
Shen Yun: 35
Art style: 45
Overall: 44
Because it was an "original" scroll painting, Wu Xian had certain expectations.

"So low?" Wu Xian wondered to himself.

Judging from the performance and power of the laurel branch, the score shouldn't be this low.

Xue Lingling, however, was already speechless with shock. "Low? You call this low? A score of over thirty in the 'Artifacts and Scrolls' category is considered top-tier, okay?"

"I see." Wu Xian smiled awkwardly.

So the evaluation criteria are different?

"Could you provide your teacher with an authentic copy?" Xue Lingling's eyes lit up.

"This... I'm afraid it won't work. The design and setting of my natal flying sword are quite unique. Only I can use it; no one else can."

Xue Lingling asked in surprise, "Really? It's just a scroll painting; how could others not be able to use it?"

Without further ado, Wu Xian gathered the laurel branch into a scroll and let Xue Lingling experience it.

"Uh, I really can't get any spiritual power or mental energy into it." Xue Lingling was shocked after trying it. "My good disciple, your special idea is quite amazing. Maybe you can use this approach to draw the legendary ancient scroll."

"Ancient scroll painting technique?" Wu Xian pretended not to understand.

He certainly knew that this "approach" wouldn't work.

But I finally had the chance to ask Xue Lingling for advice on traditional scroll painting techniques.

However, before Xue Lingling could explain, Xue Qingyang rushed over in a flurry, his face grim.

"Auntie, something terrible has happened! Quickly check the announcement on the Necromancer's Guild's official website!"
