Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Symbol?

Putting aside how the painter knew this, the strength of this thing shouldn't be linked to the Phase II mission!

In terms of Chu Qingge's strength, even a Stage III superhuman is no match for her.

Even if there are differences in strength between the symbols, they are not something that a Stage II transcendent could touch.

What exactly happened?

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Xi asked:

"The symbol is very powerful. Why would a Phase II mission involve the symbol?"

"Very strong?"

"It seems you have indeed seen the symbol."

Why do you say that?

"Because the symbol is not an object, but a person!"

"You say it's very strong, which means you've actually seen it."

The painter showed great interest.

Chen Xi nodded:

"My understanding of symbols is very limited; I only know that each symbol represents something."

"I don't know anything more specific."

"Furthermore, the symbols aren't necessarily people; it's just that some are people, and some aren't..."

"I see..."

"I thought there was only one of these in the whole world, but it seems there are more than one."

After speaking, the painter smoothed his long hair:

"Whether it's strong or not doesn't matter; my task is to fill the gaps."

"filling?"

"Yes, my task was to give me half of the outline of this symbol, and what I had to do was to complete the other half of the outline and fill in the colors."

"This is incredibly simple for someone like me who draws."

"The difficulty lies in finding this symbol; I need to at least take a few glances at it."

Outline...

and many more!

The painter was also in Xia City before, so the symbol he's looking for might not be...

"If possible, could you draw the outline for me?"

Chen Xi asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, the painter's eyes flashed with excitement, and his face lit up with anticipation.

"Yes!"

"You said you've seen the symbol before, so it's possible it's the same symbol I'm looking for!"

"Then all you have to do is draw that thing, and I'll just copy it once, and that'll be the job!"

"I don't need to see it with my own eyes, I just need to be able to draw it!"

Chen Xi nodded and hummed in agreement. There was more than one symbol, but since they were all in Xia City, the symbol the painter mentioned and the one he saw were likely the same one.

Without saying a word, the painter began to paint.

One can only say that he truly deserves to be called a painter; the fluidity, the momentum, and the technique are all remarkable!

In about ten seconds, the painter completed the outline drawing.

Chen Xi looked closely.

really!

That look is exactly like Chu Qingge herself!

"That's right, this is the symbol I saw!"

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he directly took the paintbrush from the painter's hand.

Let's begin our grand plan!

30 minutes later...

"Forehead......."

The painter looked at Chen Xi's masterpiece, which he had poured his heart and soul into, and was at a loss for words to comment.

"Chen Xi, this is a little too abstract!"

"If you do this... I can't copy it like this!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi looked at his masterpiece, which had taken him 30 minutes to complete, and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he had no interest in art whatsoever.

What I just relied on was merely the memory of hyperthymesia.

To put it simply, it's imitation, but the techniques are limited.

Although Chen Xi incorporated his own understanding and used various mathematical formulas to assist him during the process.

For example, Goldbach's conjecture, the Riemann hypothesis, and the Pythagorean theorem!

Chen Xi's consistent success and years of academic excellence led him to believe that he could finally master the subject on his first try.

But the final result, while clearly showing a woman, is limited to that!

"Boss, it seems you have your shortcomings too!"

Yang Wei, now that he doesn't want a salary, has become bolder and has started openly mocking others.

"If you're so good, then you do it!"

Chen Xi handed the paintbrush to Yang Wei.

"Well, I have seen her before, but I don't have your memory. I can't remember the details."

"Besides, my drawing skills aren't good either!"

After saying that, as if remembering something, he pushed the hand that Chen Xi had offered towards Yan Mingliang:

"Brother Liang's Club!"

"He's trained!"

"Liang is very talented; he can not only draw, but also sing R&B!"

Yang Wei and Yan Mingliang had lived alone for a period of time, and naturally, they gained a deeper understanding of each other through chatting and joking around.

"I did study art for three years when I was a child, but I've never seen any symbols!"

After going around in circles, the paintbrush returned to the painter's hands once again.

To cover up his embarrassment, Chen Xi coughed twice as a tactic.

"No problem!"

"I fought this symbol once. Although I don't know its specific abilities, I know that it symbolizes peace."

"So you won't be in danger."

If the answer is Chu Qingge, then this mission is reasonable; otherwise, a normal Stage II superhuman would not be able to complete it at all.

At the same time, Chen Xi thought of Zhou Xiaogu. Could it be that her goal was also Chu Qingge?

If the painter is filling in the blanks, then Zhou Xiaogu is killing; she's far too audacious!

It can only be said that ignorance is bliss.

"By the way, how did you know that this symbol was in Xia City back then?"

"I have a location."

The painter answered instantly:

"This task sends me the location of this symbol every three days."

"But this location isn't precise; it only gives a general direction, so it's hard for me to find it."

"And sometimes it disappears. It disappeared for a long time before it started reacting today."

"It's in Shangjing City, which is why I told you earlier that I'm going back to Shangjing City."

They disappeared for a long time before?

Only reacting today?

and many more!

The painter's two sentences suddenly sparked a flash of inspiration in Chen Xi.

The fact that she disappeared for a long time means that Chu Qingge was in the Black Tower during that period!

Therefore, it was blocked by Black Tower.

The reason there was only a response today is because of the changes that occurred at the Black Tower yesterday.

In other words, after Chu Qingge placed the black tower ball on top of the black tower yesterday, it came out of the black tower directly!

We happen to be near Kamijing City today!

In addition, there's the world of blank paper that the painter described.

Is this the purpose of symbols?

Reboot the world!

(With comics being so popular lately, are there any experts who could use my book as practice material? Try making a motion comic out of it, it would be a great way to promote my work. If it succeeds, it would be a win-win situation. Also, there are far too few requests for updates.)
