They don't actually think I like them, do they?

The harsher Xu Hui's insults were, the more embarrassed he would be when Lin Han lost face.

Put yourself in the lead and then turn around and destroy everything!

Lin Han, you're a real beast!!

Facing countless amused gazes, Lin Han smiled calmly and walked straight up to the man in the square frame.

After receiving the drawing board, the man in the square frame personally handed it to Lin Han.

"Please, coffee teacher."

Lin Han took the drawing board with both hands, and at that moment, his fingers touched the square-framed man's fingers.

[Skill Acquisition: Activated.]

[Received: Painting Skill Card (Intermediate) (Valid for: Two Hours)]

[Sensitivity lv6↑]

[Observation Skills lv6↑]

[Memory Ability Level 5↑]

[Thinking Ability lv5↑]

[Styling Ability lv6↑]

【….】

Is only intermediate level?

Lin Han was clearly not satisfied with this level. Having gotten used to being a well-rounded individual, he felt uneasy if one of his abilities wasn't world-class.

Considering that the guy in the square frame isn't some kind of painting master, but just a corporate slave with ten years of experience in concept art, this level is not low.

In fact, Lin Han's system shop has [Painting Skill Cards], which he can buy permanently. However, Lin Han doesn't plan to start a side job as a painter in the future, and two hours of validity is enough.

All Lin Han wanted to acquire was the basic skill of drawing.

Once he has the basic skills in painting, he can directly transfer any painting he likes based on his memories from his previous life.

This advantage derived from past life memories is something the square-framed man can never exploit.

Lin Han, having obtained the drawing board, immediately connected it to a computer and opened the drawing software.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Han picked up a paintbrush and began to paint.

The once noisy office fell silent instantly, with everyone crowding around Lin Han's back, waiting to see this "genius novelist" make a fool of himself.

However, Lin Han had only been writing for less than thirty seconds when...

The man in the square frame could no longer laugh.

Such skillful drawing!

This can no longer be described as "solid"; it is the work of an extremely skilled gunman who hits the most vital spot with every shot!

Without fifteen years of painting experience, it would be impossible to produce such a ruthless brushstroke!

How can it be? !

Beads of sweat were beginning to appear on the square-framed man's forehead.

Could this be... the legendary genius?!

He's only 18 years old!!!

A person who writes a light novel that becomes a nationwide sensation at the age of 18 can be described as exceptionally gifted.

What if he also possesses exceptionally high drawing skills?

The employees present were not experts like the original artists, who could see so many details at a glance.

They can only see it from the most basic, ordinary perspective of the general public.

It wasn't until the characters gradually took shape that they realized something was amiss.

It seems like... it's getting better and better, how come?

Everyone stopped whispering and watched intently.

Lin Han drew very quickly; in less than ten minutes, the entire character design gradually emerged.

A delicate face, and an aloof, disdainful gaze.

Her pear-shaped figure is almost textbook perfect, and the pleats of her JK uniform are just right.

What's most eye-catching are those classic manga-style legs; the details of the black stockings are drawn with incredible realism, you can almost feel their texture through the screen, as if you could reach out and feel their soft elasticity...

"So...so beautiful!" an employee behind him murmured.

The most perfect anime character design is one that allows you to relate to it in real life while still filling you with the charm of the anime world.

You can read a story in her.

It's as if she were a real person; you wouldn't compare her to reality, you'd only regret not living in the world of anime and meeting her.

Just like Violet.

Lin Han combined the art style of his previous life's Violet Evergarden to replicate the original appearance of the characters among the passersby.

"This is my fucking senior!!"

Xu Hui, who was narrating, finally couldn't contain his excitement and shouted.

011. If you're going to do it, do it the best in the world!

With Xu Hui's roar setting the tone, the onlookers behind him broke their silence.

"It really is beautiful, damn!"

"This art style is obviously much cuter. I'm also a long-time reader of 'Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend,' and this one clearly looks more like Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"He really has that senior vibe so much! Look at the details in his eyes, the way he looks at trash, I love it so much! Am I a pervert?!"

At this point, most people were completely captivated by Lin Han's drawing of Kasumigaoka Utaha, and no one cared about the battle between the original author and the production team.

The fact that everyone here is involved in Bilibili's animation production industry shows that you all genuinely love, or have loved, the world of anime and manga.

For these enthusiasts, they couldn't bring themselves to say anything against their conscience in front of such a stunningly beautiful girl! They simply like her, regardless of their stance!

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Hanako's expression could almost be described as blank.

She watched Lin Han paint the whole time, but it didn't feel real at all.

what?

He's really good at drawing!

And it's drawn so well??

As the head of the animation production team, Hanako has worked on dozens of anime over the years, making her an extremely experienced senior executive in Bilibili's animation department.

She could tell at a glance that the character design for Coffee Sauce was of top-tier quality, no exaggeration.

He wasn't drawing illustrations. If it were, any artist with decent skill and enough time could create exquisite illustrations that would delight everyone.

The illustrations drawn by Coffee Sauce are merely character designs.

What impressed everyone was the ingenuity and skill of Coffee Sauce's character design, which was unheard of, especially the precise control over the characters' eyes and figures, which could be described as an industry textbook.

　It gives the impression that... this is exactly what the anime adaptation of the novel should look like!!

It's fake...it must be fake!

This is all so surreal! Hanako feels that Coffee Sauce's skill level is high enough to make her a concept artist!

What kind of pentagonal monster is this?! He writes his own novels and also does the original artwork!

If you could even write your own theme songs, wouldn't that be amazing?! Your own name could become the naming convention for an entire new art form!

"Can you still draw, Lin Han?"

Xu Hui rubbed his little hands excitedly, "Don't just stand there! Eriri and Kato Megumi are drawn too!"

"It's not appropriate, everyone on the production team is very busy," Lin Han declined.

"Draw it, draw it!"

"Yes, Coffee Teacher, it's hard for us to decide on just one role!"

　The employees behind him started to cheer.

Hanako remained silent, while the square-framed man's expression was so somber that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking; he simply stared blankly at Lin Han's illustration.

It seems like he's completely dumbfounded.

Seeing that neither of the two important figures spoke, Lin Han stopped being polite.

He picked up a pen and began drawing character designs for the other two characters.

Everyone became excited again and watched intently.

Watching Lin Han meticulously sketch the image of the beautiful girl, though the process was lengthy, it was nonetheless incredibly moving.

Just then, the department head passed by in the corridor and looked inside through the glass door.

　In the huge animation production office, everyone was not working properly, but gathered around a boy watching him draw.

　What kind of situation is this?

The supervisor was shocked and immediately called over someone to inquire.

　"Ah, that's coffee sauce. The author of 'Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend' is currently drawing character designs for the production team..."

The original author, who also designed the characters?

The supervisor glanced inside a few more times.

All the employees stood behind the boy, their expressions filled with piety, admiration, anticipation, and excitement...

Am I the one who's gone mad? Or is the entire animation production team insane?!

　The supervisor quickly lit a cigarette to calm his nerves and then hurriedly left this eerie place.

　After fully adapting to the skill cards, Lin Han's painting speed reached an abnormal level. His speed increased rapidly, and his hand holding the paintbrush almost left afterimages. He was so fast that people could hardly see where his brushstrokes were placed.

　In no time, Lin Han finished drawing the character designs for all three female leads.

Everyone craned their necks forward, and Lin Han thoughtfully moved his chair back to make room for everyone.

Kato Megumi, an innocent-looking girl with a blank expression, appears harmless on the surface, but is actually a little cunning. Even when she is jealous, she maintains a blank expression.

The Kato Megumi depicted by Lin Han is exactly how the male protagonist first encountered her on the slope: a snow-white skirt, a red knitted sweater, and delicate, charming features.

She wasn't a goddess, nor was she dazzling; in fact, she was rather plain. However, her every word and action made her the white moonlight in the hearts of every high school boy.

Lin Han perfectly captured the essence of Kato Megumi as a "background heroine"!

Even more amazing is the painting of Eriri by Lin Han.

The moment Eriri saw her drawing, everyone's eyes widened in amazement.

Her exaggerated golden twin ponytails hung all the way down to her waist, and her slender waist and long legs were simply a perfect golden ratio.

The girl pointed forward, her face slightly flushed, her lips pouting, and her beautiful eyes casually glancing elsewhere...

Eriri is alive! She's alive!!

This is the proud and aloof beauty everyone has in mind!!

Looking at Eriri on the screen, a quirky yet adorable voice already popped into my head:

"I...I don't care about you, you idiot!"

That's awesome, isn't it!

　 The industry in this world doesn't have a mature concept of tsundere at all. The previous square-framed man was also figuring things out as he went along, drawing entirely based on his own understanding.

Now, seeing Lin Han's paintings, everyone truly understands the difference between him and the square-framed man.

That's what you call being arrogant!

What the hell did you draw?

If Kasumigaoka Utaha's performance was merely stunning, then we should reconsider whether to overturn the production team's previous efforts because of it.
