In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

Moreover, he started practicing carving figures earlier than others, and with the help of a system, it can be said that in terms of wooden figures, his current level is unique.

After carving the last stroke, Takahashi Kaede placed the Lelouch figurine in a large box that had been prepared long ago.

The box contains the works he has carved over the past few days. On the bottom of the box, Gao Qiaofeng designed a special small mechanism that can snap into place with each of the figures he has made, fitting tightly together to ensure that they will not be broken during transportation.

Of course, it is impossible to carve dozens of figures in just one month, including the stock he had not sold before.

At that time, he had the foresight to consider that these figures might be useful in elementary school, so he deliberately kept some of the good quality ones when selling them.

Now it can really come in handy.

Although the ones that remain are of good quality, they still leave a lot to be desired in terms of details compared to the latest carvings.

"It seems that my carving skills have improved significantly."

Opening the talent system, the carpentry skill is already at the top, with a potential to reach the first place.

Gao Qiaofeng nodded with satisfaction and stretched himself. Sitting for a long time made his whole body sore.

He didn't want to have any health problems at such a young age, so after meeting Ryoko, he went to the park downstairs to exercise.

Run around the park, do push-ups and sit-ups. You win if you can finish until you are exhausted.

Takahashi Feng found that his forearms were exceptionally strong, and he wondered if it was because he had been poking at hard wood all day.

There are many people in the park at night, and Gaoqiao Feng is not worried about his safety.

After exercising, he went home covered in sweat and took a bath. The hot water wrapped around his tired body, and Gao Qiaofeng felt more fulfilled than ever before.

After wiping his hair, Takahashi Feng opened the galgame that Eriri sent him. He had planned to play it on the same day it was sent, but he was too busy to play it until now.

Come to think of it, I feel a little apologetic.

I have appreciated quite a few galgames in my previous life, so I wonder what the quality of the one sent by Eriri is like.

Open the game and retro graphics and sound effects come into view.

"This is nothing compared to what I played in my previous life..."

Takahashi Kaede complained.

Chapter 18 Exhibition and Springfield

Inside a long-established wooden handicraft shop in Shimokitazawa.

The boss Chuntian was worried at this time.

A lot of young people were walking up and down the street, but few of them visited his store.

He originally made handicrafts for people, such as wooden reliefs, teapots and other things that middle-aged and elderly people liked.

But recently, industrial products in this area have become more and more developed, and the same things produced in factories may be more sophisticated and cheaper, so he can only make some income by making furniture for others.

He has run this store for decades and has a large number of regular customers, but it is difficult to raise his grandchildren with just this little income.

Since his own son is not doing well, it is up to this old man to find a solution.

"Hey, what do young people like nowadays? It's really hard to figure out what these people are thinking."

He has also thought about changing the style and making the storefront more attractive to young people. After all, young people have strong purchasing power, and if he can successfully attract them, his store's business will definitely be much better.

But what do young people like?

He has been learning carpentry from his master since he was young and has never been exposed to entertainment products such as novels and comics.

It is really difficult for him to think about what young people like now!

Sitting in a chair bored, Mr. Haruta was watching the TV, which was broadcasting the school's spring art performance live.

There were many types of programs, including dancing, music, and everything else. Jintian watched with boredom.

"The art performance is now over. Let's step out of the studio. Today we not only have wonderful performances from art troupes, but also booths set up by many clubs to enrich students' campus life."

The camera switched to the teaching building, where people were coming and going in the corridor. Students in work clothes were in a hurry, while students in school uniforms were leisurely.

"Hey, there seems to be a lot of people gathered in the classroom in front. Is there any popular exhibit here?"

Chuntian had no interest in this kind of children's playing house gathering and was about to change the channel. But when the camera turned, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He quickly took his feet off the chair and prepared to watch it carefully.

"Wow, these are all very exquisite figures, and the texture of these figures is different from ordinary ones!"

The host pointed the camera at the figures on the table. Whether it was texture, shape, color or details, they were all very different from traditional figures!

"Yes, these are wooden figures, a new type of figures made using special methods to imitate the current figure craftsmanship."

The scene changed, and a black-haired boy appeared in the center of the screen, calmly introducing his exhibits.

"Excuse me, did you make these figures yourself?"

"Yes, I am the president of the Woodworking Club. Although the club has not been officially established, my members and I will continue to work hard to create more perfect figures for everyone!"

"At the same time, after our club is officially established, we will provide customized services to students. If you are interested, you can come directly to the Carpentry Department to find me after school. As long as it is the club activity time, I will always be there."

The camera turned to the back of him, where you can see a big boy and a girl with blonde twin ponytails enthusiastically introducing the characters and stories of the figures to the students passing by.

There was a pink caterpillar crawling in the corner of the picture. The caterpillar crawled into a box and then curled up inside like a hermit crab.

The male president who had just appeared suddenly appeared, picked up the box and carried it to the inner room.

The director pretended not to see it and gave a panoramic view of the exhibition classroom.

Almost as soon as a classmate left, a new classmate would squeeze in. These figures were extremely attractive to them.

As long as you are a casual fan of anime or comics, you can almost find your favorite character on the exhibition table, and the level of detail of these figures can satisfy almost everyone.

There is Asuka from EVA, Remlia Scarlet from the Touhou series, and the little-known singer Hatsune Miku.

Haruta's eyes were fixed on the screen, especially when the figures were close-up, he tried his best to observe the details of these figures.

The more he pondered, the more shocked he was. He didn't believe at all that the elementary school student just said that these figures were made by himself. He had reason to suspect that the parents of this elementary school student were disciples of some master and had practiced hard for many years in order to make a name for themselves.

This unique carving technique cannot be learned without special practice, and it is even impossible to do it if the direction of learning is wrong.

Chuntian boasts that he has been immersed in carpentry for many years. Although traditional techniques are not as good as before and the rigid carpentry is becoming less and less popular, he still retains a bit of pride and believes that his skills are by no means worse than anyone else's!

But when I encounter such a wonderful and ingenious skill, I can't help but admire it.

If you do it yourself, you may not be able to carve it so well!

He also found that although both of them exhibited wooden handicrafts to attract customers, his own shop was like a temporary stall set up by a street painter, with people only occasionally coming to take a look, while this boy's exhibition was as eye-catching as an art exhibition by a famous artist.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Jintian knew in his heart that even if he didn't understand these characters, he still felt their charm.

The singer in a gorgeous dress held the microphone high, her blue twin ponytails were blown into the air by the waves of her voice, her heavy winter clothes seemed to be flying in the wind, and a confident smile bloomed on her delicate face. Without the need to imagine deliberately, the sense of art seemed to appear before the eyes of the observer.

Woodworking and the two-dimensional world have been integrated to such an extent!

The camera moved around the room and finally returned to the boy.

But unlike before, this time he was holding a banner with a string of email addresses written on it.

"Everyone sitting in front of the TV, if you are interested in the figures I made, you can contact me through this email address. As long as I am free, I will definitely process your information."

"Mailbox number...Mailbox number..."

Chuntian muttered to himself, took out a piece of paper and wrote down the mailbox number completely.

"If I can get in touch with him, I can also discuss in detail with the producers of these figures. If all goes well, Tamako won't have to worry about her tuition!"

At this moment, Chuntian felt that he had finally found what he had been looking for, without any effort. The problem that had troubled him for so long was finally solved!

If you own a shop, you can act as a distributor to help sell the extra figures, and then take some commission from it.

He smoothed his gray beard, laughed twice, and almost laughed his teeth out.

"Haha...cough cough cough."

......

Chapter 19 Before the Exhibition

Gao Qiaofeng almost didn't sleep well the whole night yesterday.

Lying in bed, his mind kept thinking about tomorrow's exhibition. Although he did everything he could think of, he was still nervous.

After tossing and turning all night, I turned off the alarm clock and looked at the time. It was time to go to school.

Gao Qiaofeng yawned, and faint dark circles appeared under his eyes. He has put too much effort into this matter recently.

He almost took care of everything by himself, including communicating with people everywhere, discussing the exhibition venue, making the latest figures, and planning the placement of exhibits.

He knows that the more he does, the more he loses when he fails, so he is under a lot of pressure.

In order to place the figures properly on the table, he also deliberately designed a bunch of bases, each base had a corresponding figure to be placed on, which also took him a lot of time.

"Xiao Feng, just do it boldly, I believe you can do it!"

Ryoko also knew about this. She thought that she should just support Takahashi Kaede's decision, and that Xiao Feng would get things done efficiently.

"Ah."

Waving his hand, Gao Qiaofeng put on his schoolbag, carried the suitcase and walked out of the house.

"maple!"

When he walked about thirty or forty meters away from Goto Ichisato's house, he could see a pink figure waving at him.

As usual, he picked up Goto Ichiri and the two of them walked to school together.

Many students on the road were holding various things, which should be tasks assigned to them by the club.

The school attaches great importance to the spring art performance. Almost the entire day today will be used for performances and club exhibitions. Near the school gate, you can see a large group of adults carrying cameras waiting outside.

Takahashi Kaede moved himself to the side closer to the cameraman to protect Goto Ichiri who was feeling a little uncomfortable on the inside.

As soon as you enter the classroom, you can see the teacher standing on the stage early, preparing to announce the arrangements and matters for the activity day.

"There will be a cultural performance in the morning, and the club activities in the afternoon will start when the first class bell rings after lunch. Everyone, please don't run around in the school and pay attention to safety. We will have people from the TV station coming today, so everyone should remember to keep smiling!"

As Teacher Kazuko waved her hand and announced the dismissal, the classroom immediately became noisy.

"Yili, let's go directly to the Cultural Performance Hall. I may need you to help me set up the exhibition room at noon."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. How can helping Xiao Feng be considered a bother~"

Takahashi Feng suddenly felt that Goto Ichiri had grown up and could actually help, and he was very touched.

The hall for the cultural performance was set up like a live concert, with cameras mounted high in the sky and moving around to find the best shooting angle.

There are fixed camera positions on all four sides of the stage, and these smart cameras can also move with the performers.

Goto Ichiri was drowsy from watching the play, but she would be startled by the occasional loud voice of the actor, but when she looked around and saw nothing was there, she would go back to sleep.

Gao Qiaofeng didn't even look at it. He kept biting his nails. He felt that he would not have a moment of peace until the exhibition was completed.

"Takahashi, don't be too nervous. You've tried so hard, you will definitely be able to do it well."

Ying Lili, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and gave a little comforting speech.

If things can be done well with hard work, then Takahashi would think that everything will be fine. However, there are always unexpected events and the development of things is always changing. No one knows what good or bad things will happen in the future.

He was worried about what if, if anything unexpected happened, how he should deal with it.

Soon, the cultural performance ended with a classic scene of a prince saving a princess.

Takahashi Kaede asked Goto Ichiri to go to lunch with Eriri, while he went to the exhibition classroom in advance to decorate the venue.

The classroom was arranged in an L shape by connecting tables together, and then the bases of the figures were installed one by one.

He also planned the styles of the figures, and most of the ones with the same style were gathered together. He had already discussed this with Daigo Honda, and each person would be responsible for an area, and he would introduce the figures to other students when they came in.

If a TV station came to interview him, he might have to leave the stall, but Takahashi Feng was not too worried about leaving the area he was responsible for unattended.

After all, the audiences of this exhibition are mostly students, rather than the mixed crowds from all walks of life in society. The basic qualities of students can be guaranteed before they enter the society.

There were already many students from the Student Union in the corridor, carrying a large number of tables and chairs, as if they were going to set up a stage for singing, and to surround the people singing in the middle to create the atmosphere of a dance hall.

"You're holding a singing event right after the cultural performance...are you free?"

The students were talking and laughing, and they would stop to play from time to time. Gao Qiaofeng, who was sitting outside the classroom, felt very annoyed watching them.

I worked so hard to make the figures, choose the venue, and am still worried about accidents. Why can you passers-by be so happy and impatient? If things don't go well, you will be responsible.

Gao Qiaofeng rubbed his temples and thought that it was enough to just think about it this way. It would be impolite to think about it any further.
