I will never give in to Miss Death

"You two have a really good relationship."

On the other side, Lisa seemed to have finished debugging her laptop. She took a cable and connected the board in Xiaomo's hand to the computer: "Have you used other boards before?"

"Not used."

I answered for Xiaomo: "She had always drawn on paper before."

"I see. Then a hand-painted screen would be nice."

Lisa turned her head and said, "I was thinking, if you have used other tablets before and are really used to the drawing tablet, you can switch to that. After all, some artists are more accustomed to drawing tablets and looking at the computer screen while drawing. But if it is the first time to try to draw on the computer, you can just use the drawing screen. You can think of it as a large tablet computer, and the mouse pointer is professional."

I nodded: "This... should be very expensive, right?"

I have never used a tablet computer, but I have heard about it from "Marisa's Iron Butt" by Jiang Wei before.

He originally sold computers, and there were some similar products in the store. My first impression of tablet computers was... a computer with only a screen. Its performance was much worse than that of desktop computers and laptops. However, it was more convenient to carry and use than desktop computers and laptops. You didn't even need a mouse and keyboard. You could just turn it on and use your hands or the provided pen. It was similar to a mobile phone, but it had many more functions.

Other than that, I don’t have much impression of this kind of electronic product because I really can’t afford it.

"The factory price is a little over 8888 yuan. If we take the original price internally, it's about 7999 to yuan. The selling price is yuan. Sometimes we have some activities and the price is yuan. But the price doesn't matter. You are Mr. Tom's guests and Xiao Yueyue's good friends. If you want, I can give you two or three."

Lisa gestured to Xiaomo and said, "I have already adjusted the docking program. Ask her to try drawing it and see if she is used to it."

Giving away two or three... You guys are really generous...

I won’t need it anyway, so I’ll just give it to Xiaomo. After all, we can’t be greedy.

“So this is how it works…”

Under Lisa's guidance, Xiaomo held the tablet in her left hand and a pen in her right hand, and tried to draw a few strokes on the blank document. She said with emotion: "The technology here is really... beyond my expectation."

"Technology products are like this. When drawing tablets appeared a long time ago, the connection between computers and this kind of hardware was very immature. There were not many brushes, and they could not detect pressure and lines. Drawing a picture required many revisions. If you were an artist at that time, you would probably be more accustomed to drawing tablets."

Lisa smiled and said, "Forget about painting. I remember there is a particle collider in this city. The Artisan District is also studying quantum mechanics recently. It seems that the research on quantum computers has made progress. By then, there will probably be a lot of new products coming out, with more and more new functions."

Quantum computers...

Lisa’s words reminded me of the digital twin integration of the “Mianyun District” that Su Yunjin mentioned before.

Maybe when that water district is really established, the world will really enter the metaverse era.

"Come on, little one, try it out to see if it fits."

Seeing that Xiaomo and I were silent, Lisa came over and said, "Everyone has different talents and different levels of acceptance of tablets. You can try to get used to this hand-painted screen first. If this one doesn't work, you can change to another one, or try a hand-painted tablet. Tablets are just like monitors and ergonomic chairs. It's best to experience them in person to know which one is best for you."

"Ah."

Xiaomo nodded and looked at Lisa: "Excuse me, are you also a painter?"

"Me? How is that possible? I've already said that my previous job was as a psychological counselor in a school in Newcastle. At that time, the children with psychological problems in the school were mostly those who were engaged in literary creation, such as novelists, painters, etc., so I have some understanding of painting."

Lisa sat down on a small chair nearby. "I don't know if Mr. Tom was hit on the head by a brick from heaven in the past few years. He suddenly wanted to sell Garland's products to the whole world and asked me to help. I had no choice but to quit my job at school and become a...ah, boring administrator here."

"Sister Lisa is a very nice person. She has a master's degree in psychology."

Xiong Xiong next to him said, "If you have any psychological problems, you can talk to her."

"There's nothing wrong with these two little guys. It's just that this one over here is... like a kitten. Maybe because he has a lot on his mind, he's not frank enough sometimes."

Lisa gestured in my direction and said, "Actually, cats don't need to have so many psychological burdens. If they want to scratch the wood, they can do so. If they are hungry, they can eat dried fish. That's how life is."

Eh?

Why…why am I going to scratch the board?

"Then Nuoer, try scratching the cat scratching post and I'll draw a picture for you."

Yin Xiamo saw that the atmosphere was a little distorted, and instead of helping to turn it around, she "aided and abetted" me and found a place to stand, pointing in my direction: "Ms. Sikong Yue, do you have cat scratching boards for sale here?"

“There are no scratching posts, but there are cat climbing frames.”

Sikong Yue raised a hand: "Do you want a cat climbing frame? The kind that rotates automatically and comes with a cat teaser."

Yin Xiamo nodded: "Yes, bring it over to Nuo'er and let her sharpen her claws."

Hey!

I was stunned for a moment: "Why would a company like yours that sells electronic products sell cat climbing frames?"

"So Noel isn't actually against the cat climbing frame?"

Xiongxiong covered his mouth and smiled, "Just a reminder, in addition to animal husbandry and agriculture, our country's pet industry is also the most developed in the world. Our country has a population of only over 60 million, but there are over 80 million pet cats and over 30 million pet dogs. On average, one person owns about two pets. So it's not surprising that we make pet supplies, right?"

Strange, this is weird!

and many more.

wrong……

At this moment, the product logos on the automatic cat litter boxes on the second floor of the coffee shop suddenly appeared in my mind.

I was wondering why I felt like I had seen that elf somewhere before, and it turns out I see it every day when I pass by the cat litter box on my way to and from get off work.

Did you start working with the coffee shop to supply pet supplies a long time ago?

"Here, the fully automatic cat climbing frame is here!"

I was still lamenting how small the world is when Xiong Xiong came over carrying a cat climbing frame sample that was more than one meter high. She assembled the cat climbing frame skillfully and placed it next to me.

"Noer, come and try."

"Try a ghost!"

I stretched out my two hands and made a "cat is going to scratch you" gesture: "Do you think I need to sharpen my claws?"

Although I was an uncle in my "previous life", I am not as unkempt and unkempt as those uncles in novels or comics. Normally, I trim my nails when they are a little long. There is no need to grind my nails on the cat scratching board.

Why do I feel like I'm bound to the "cat scratching post"? Why do I feel like I've fallen into a trap? Who first came up with the concept of the "cat scratching post"?

"Okay, that's it. Nuoer, put your hands on the cat scratching board... ahem, cat climbing frame, and then lift your butt up."

Yin Xiamo on the side dragged the hand-painted screen and lit it up in my direction: "Look here, look here, with a shy expression, yes, and it would be better if you could show a little bit of your fangs... Yes, yes, that's it."

I don’t know why, but under Xiaomo’s “command”, I really couldn’t help but grab the cat climbing frame and pose as she requested.

"so cute……"

Xiongxiong covered his mouth and said, "I'm a little envious of Xiaomo. I can sleep with such a little kitty every day when I go home."

"It's not a kitten!"

I subconsciously retorted, and then turned to Yin Xiamo: "Are you done?"

"It can't be that fast."

Lisa looked at me like I was an idiot. "It usually takes an artist seven or eight minutes to draw a rough draft for one person..."

"All right."

Before Lisa finished her words, Yin Xiamo had already put down the pen in her hand: "I'm not very good at using this yet, so I won't color it yet, so I'll draw it in black and white first."

"You've finished it already? So quickly?!"

Lisa was a little bit unbelievable, and subconsciously took Xiaomo's hand-painted screen. When she saw the picture on the screen, her eyes widened: "This...you, is this really your first time using a board?"

"Humph."

I was already used to Xiaomo's painting speed, so I untied my hands, stretched, and returned to her side: "Damn Xiaomo, you clearly received a gift, but you still took the opportunity to bully me."

"No, I really like Nuoer's gift."

Xiaomo came over and gave me a kiss on the face: "Thank you for the gift, little kitty. I love you."

"Ah...uh..."

I was originally planning to confront her about this, but I suddenly forgot what I was going to say. I just stood there with a fever on my face. After several seconds, I came to my senses and found a place to sit down to ease the embarrassment.

"You...just like it."

"Anyway, the purpose of my performance just now was just for that computer. I will use it to broadcast live and play games. This hand-painted screen is just by the way!"

"..."

……

No. 281 The cat food is eaten up, and the comic exhibition is full of people

"Your painting is too... too amazing, isn't it?"

After seeing the painting on the hand-painted screen in Xiaomo's hand, which "ended the battle" in less than half a minute, Lisa, who claimed to have been a "psychological counselor in Newcastle for many years", was also shocked. She kept looking at the screen, as if she had checked the traces of painting several times, with surprise on her face.

"You...did you draw these in one stroke?"

After checking for a while, Lisa turned to Xiaomo and me, her shock evident in her words: "You... this isn't AI drawing, is it?"

“AI drawing?”

Yin Xiamo was a little surprised: "What is that?"

"It's just using the AI ​​drawing function of the graphics card to import the pictures I took and then convert them into a comic style... No, the graphics card of this hand-painted screen is not that powerful, and it's impossible for it to have built-in AI drawing..."

Lisa held the hand-painted screen and fell into deep thought: "The current AI drawing can't handle the hands and feet of the characters well. The little guy in this painting has a full figure, and the hands and feet are handled so well. Maybe it is really hand-painted. But if it is hand-painted... at this speed, it is impossible even if something big happens..."

"what happened?"

Lisa's words made Xiongxiong curious. She came over and glanced at the picture on the drawing board: "Wow! Cat-eared girl Nuoer!"

what the hell!

I also subconsciously stuck to it.

On the screen, I saw myself wearing the grass goddess Nashida's cosplay costume, with cat ears on my head and a cat tail behind me. I was sharpening my claws on a cat climbing frame more than one meter high in front of me, looking very comfortable.

Generally speaking, ordinary people will not bury their bodies so low even when they stretch, but cats will. After waking up or wanting to relax, most kittens will raise their buttocks, stretch out their front paws, and bend their entire waist downward like flowing water, forming a very graceful arc.

This is the pose I am in the picture, which perfectly shows the girl's elegant waist and flexible ligaments, and even I feel excited when I see it.

This movement is obviously known by someone who has watched too many cats, and this person has an amazing understanding of the beauty and curves of the female body.

But the problem is... I didn't strike this pose just now, nor was I wearing cat ears, and there was no way there was a cat tail behind me.

When I saw Xiongxiong move the cat climbing frame over, I just scratched it with my claws symbolically.

"Xiaomo!"

I subconsciously turned around and thought of something: "What a mess you drew!"

The painting style of "Yin Nuoer in the Comic Exhibition" on the hand-painted screen is unexpectedly not realistic, but a loli style close to celluloid. Judging from the painters I know, it is somewhat similar to a combination of the two painters "Mao Yu Niu Ru" and "Niu Ru No Mio". The style has both the evil of a little devil and the innocence and kindness of an innocent little girl.

Moreover, compared with the other two painters, Xiaomo's painting seems to be more "complete", with all kinds of skin textures and highlights added in. The first impression given is that it is a "work that breaks the dimensional wall". It also seems to have the style of painter "MANA" in it. However, perhaps because she does not know how to use coloring tools or does not have enough time, Xiaomo's painting is only in black and white.

"Copy it."

Facing my "questioning", Yin Xiamo in front of me looked innocent: "Didn't we agree to try this board? I'm using it now and it feels pretty good. Let's go with this one."

"Have you been learning this painting skill for a long time?"

Compared to what I was used to, Lisa seemed to still not be able to recover from the fact that "someone finished a painting in less than half a minute". She asked Yin Xiamo in a tentative tone: "Can you tell me where you learned to paint before?"

"Self-taught."

Yin Xiamo said in a matter-of-fact tone: "When I have nothing to do, I just paint some landscapes. After I got a lover... I tried to learn about the human body."

Xiaomo didn't lie, whether it was about painting or love...

Although from the outside, Xiaomo, Philo, Gabriel and others do not look much different from ordinary people like us, at most they are girls with perfect figures, excellent looks, and good skin. But even in terms of "physical fitness", they have a big gap with the people on Earth.

This feeling is like the computers of long ago, when everyone generally used large-head monitors, old keyboards with scroll wheel mice, old CPUs, and only 256mb of memory. Gabriel and the others are like modern computers, and even the cheapest thin and light laptops can outperform any civilian machine at the time.

When playing FPS games, it takes an average person a few tenths of a second to react when they see someone coming onto the screen. The brain then gives the command to move the mouse, point the muzzle of the gun, and shoot. It then takes nearly a second to keep the muzzle moving with the enemy. Some people's brains cannot handle this, and the movement and pulling of the gun cannot operate at the same time, so they will be in a panic and at a loss.

The time from when Philo sees the enemy to when her brain reacts is greatly shortened. It can even be said that when Philo sees the enemy appear, the muzzle of her gun will be locked on that person. When shooting, she can also control the gun perfectly and follow the gun perfectly. Most of the brain's "CPU resources" are idle. Even if she encounters an unexpected situation at this time, she can handle it perfectly.

It's the same with Xiaomo. When I watched those painters painting live on Tongmeng.com before, most of the lines could not be drawn with one stroke. The painters often needed to smudge and revise many times. For example, to draw a person's leg, they needed to draw a line countless times. If they were not satisfied, they would use CTRL+Z to undo the last operation, and then draw another line, and repeat until it was perfect.

As for Xiaomo's painting, I feel that it is just... taking a look at the picture, remembering the whole picture in mind, and then drawing it in one breath based on the impression.

With absolutely precise hand control and brain calculation, Xiaomo can make every stroke of his or her work perfect. There is no need for modification. He or she can directly skip the "draft" stage and just produce a "line drawing". How can this not be fast?

"Self-taught?!"

Lisa was completely shocked by Xiaomo's words: "Child, if you are completely self-taught, your talent..."

"Everyone! I brought the four White Shark 4s you requested!"
