At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

For the first time ever, Su Che had met the logically rigorous Yuan Xiao.

The child was clearly not idle during the few hours he spent in seclusion indoors.

They must have thought about it a lot before finally coming to this conclusion.

But the problem is...

[If Yuan Xiao were to sell those masterpieces himself, he'd probably only get around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan at most... which would be a huge loss.]

Although Su Che didn't understand the price of oil paintings, just by looking at the frames, he knew that each painting was of considerable value, and anything less than 10 was a complete rip-off.

There was no one around Yuan Xiao who knew anything about pawning or auctioning, and he didn't have any clients like that.

Take An Qing as an example. As an artist, An Qing is probably the closest to this area.

But she was just a nobody, only good at digital painting, and didn't understand oil painting at all. She didn't know how to sell oil paintings for a reasonable price, and couldn't even find customers who wanted to buy her oil paintings.

This is a big problem.

If she can't do anything, then what can I do?

“Listen to me, Yuan Xiao, I don’t deny your motives this time, but the problem is, I’m worried you’ll sell at a loss.”

Your idea is good, and you have many paintings in your home, which I've seen in every room. But these things are very valuable, and if you sell them rashly, you might regret it later..."

"Why! I think you could help me!"

How can I help you?

“Last time An Qing told me that there’s a goddess-like woman by your side who’s been relentlessly flirting with you, and she’s a god-like master painter! Can’t she find a way to help me sell my paintings?”

"?!!"

"Since she likes A-Che and is good at these things, she can't possibly just take advantage of you for free and not even be willing to help with this little thing, right?"

Yuan Xiao's intelligence was put to the extreme at this moment, and he actually used a hidden technique from the Star Heart Technique - "Using a cat to kill a god"!

Keep in mind that this is the only ultimate move in this technique with a combat power rating exceeding 10!

Compared to other cultivation methods, within the Star Heart Technique system, a practitioner who can use such techniques has clearly mastered the basics and is no longer a novice.

At this point, some people asked, "Then why is this move, which is so powerful, only rated as 10 hits?"

The reason is simple: because of the severe side effects.

"The benefits will be taken by the goddess."

Clearly, if Su Che accepts the child's suggestion this time, it will involve both proactively contacting the goddess and owing her a favor.

The goddess will most likely lend a hand, and once she does, she'll gain an opportunity to "make Su Che repay a favor."

If she manages to get it right, it will be a perfect shot.

Then the whole sky collapsed.

It's one thing to be pecked by other cats or birds, but if it's a goddess, it probably won't be limited to just a peck.

The little bird believed that the goddess's desires were often endless.

Because they are high above others, they are usually reserved and restrained, suppressing their physical desires.

Once a suitable outlet is found, it will unleash its fury like a prehistoric beast, more monstrous than any demon.

This point is recorded in many books.

Yuan Xiao had considered this for a long time before deciding to resort to this desperate measure.

For my long-term future, I have no choice but to go all out. Sharing a piece of the goddess's pie means I can move into A-Che's house. This harms the interests of the other cats, but it elevates myself. So what? I'm a bad kid anyway, and I'm happy with it. Hehe.

"I need to look into this matter of yours..."

Su Che hesitated for a moment; he didn't know that An Qing had confided such bitterness to the little bird...

"Regarding the goddess and all that... I'm not actually that familiar with her. It's not appropriate for me to bring up something as important as money... At least, I need to get to know her better before asking about the relevant procedures, you understand what I mean?"

He tried to be as tactful as possible.

"Hey? How can you say we're not close? Since she likes A-Che, wants to seduce him, and wants to take advantage of him, then she should help him unconditionally. What's wrong with spending a little money?"

I think as long as A-Che asks, she'll definitely agree to help you! Even if it requires a lot of preparation, she'll find a way! After all, no one can resist A-Che! Even a goddess is no exception!

"That's enough..."

Su Che felt a headache coming on, so he covered the child's mouth and looked at him again.

Asking for help is a very difficult thing for me.

Looking at the big picture, the outcome of asking for favors almost always points to the same thing.

For example, you asked Ningning for help, and then what?

The answer has been revealed tonight.

Please ask Nana to teach Gu Zhi, and then what?

It was a tangled mess, and it almost led to the creation of a new life.

Now, by asking the goddess for a free OC (over-the-top) character illustration, one already owes her a huge favor—a free OC illustration.

This isn't even finished yet, and the painting is almost complete; it looks like we'll have to negotiate again.

So, at this critical juncture, if I were to ask the goddess for help in selling the oil paintings...

Can I still have a good life?

Not to mention that such demanding behavior will provoke resentment from the other party,

Just talking about repayment,

What bargaining chips do I have that I can exchange with the goddess?

Would a goddess, a big star, even be interested in an ordinary, low-class guy like me?

Su Che lacked confidence.

I have a terrible temper, I'm a awful person, and I'm a womanizer. What goddess would ever be interested in me?

[Ari is a top-tier illustrator, even transcending the category of illustrator; calling her a great painter wouldn't be an exaggeration. What level of clients has she worked with? And what level am I? If she hadn't volunteered to draw for free, how could I have had the opportunity to receive three works worth 10 words each?]

Su Che was very self-aware, so he felt that Yuan Xiao's suggestion was debatable.

The child knew he needed time to consider things and couldn't be forced, so he only mentioned it briefly and didn't insist further, instead enjoying the sleepless night ahead.

The two of them made the most of the last two or three hours of the night, having a great time in Jiang Nai's bedroom.

A fulfilling day has come to an end.

-

……

The next morning, Su Che was awakened by a severe bout of dizziness.

This is not a normal awakening.

Generally speaking, if you go to bed late, you will wake up late. If you fall asleep at five o'clock, it is normal to sleep until at least nine or ten o'clock.

However, Su Che felt a surge of energy rushing straight to the top of his head, making him feel so uncomfortable that he was about to vomit. So he had no choice but to adjust his posture and sit up to relieve the discomfort.

At that moment, he finally realized that there is no such thing as a good medicine. Even if it is a great tonic, his body, as the "container," must be able to withstand the benefits. Otherwise, it is all just empty talk.

Yuan Xiao was still fast asleep and was not awakened by his movements at all.

He glanced at the time and realized that the most important thing for him to do on this new day was to find a way to dissipate the lingering effects of the surge within him and get his body back to its normal state.

He leaned back against the headboard, picked up his phone, and tried to distract himself.

The first thing I saw was Ningning's comment—

[Xiao Su...you've gone too far. How could you let me get into such a state? I didn't even have the strength to crawl out at 2:30, and was forced to stay inside until morning.]

[You just pulled up your pants and left without even spending more time with me. Your personality is really...]

[I really like it. When is the next time we can talk again? I'll just leave the car with you; you can drive it as you like.]

"..."

Su Che rubbed his forehead.

Suddenly I realized that although the herbal tea was strong, it also had many benefits.

Both Ningning and Nainai were basically under the influence of the drug during its effects, and they were so addicted that they couldn't possibly break free in the short term.

As for Yuan Xiao, she is still young and not strong enough to withstand such a potent drug effect, so naturally we can only not use her as part of the experiment for now, and at most just play along with her according to her preferences.

Today, we need to carefully consider the matter concerning the goddess Ari.

[Wait, teacher, the color sketch is finished! Would you like to take a look? If you're satisfied, please reply so I can move on to the final draft.]

The goddess's comment was pinned to the top of the summary, catching everyone's attention.

Taking this opportunity, Su Che decided to subtly probe the connections around the goddess.

"Okay, Miss Ari, thank you for your hard work. Please send it to me."

[The other party has uploaded 3 manuscripts.]

In almost instantaneous operation, the goddess Ari, who never sleeps, uploaded three sets of wallpaper-quality high-definition ambient illustration color drafts to the manuscript.

"Wow..."

Su Che felt a little dizzy just from opening the first picture.

"Is this really something I can enjoy for free...?"

He rubbed his eyes, ignoring the discomfort in his head, and carefully admired the goddess's painting.

Of the three atmospheric illustrations, there is one that he likes the most, and he even thinks it's amazing.

It was a picture without an upper body.

A young girl, dressed in a bright red dress, clasped her hands together and carried a small metal bucket.

The bucket contains soil, and above the soil are blooming white flowers.

The white flowers in full bloom fill the main part of the picture and also decorate the surrounding environment as if it were a dream.

Su Che felt that the goddess's aesthetics, whether in terms of composition or conceptual design, were already exquisite and beyond his judgment.
