I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

"Xiao Zhou, will Nezha die?"

"will not."

"Can he withstand the lightning tribulation?"

"We can't withstand it."

"Then he..."

"If one person can't handle it, can't a few more people? There are many paths to take!"

"..."

Xiao Wen was taken aback: "Is that even possible?"

"Of course! Trees are dead! People are alive! If this path doesn't work, we'll try another one."

He Zhou spoke in a very natural tone.

Xiao Wen, standing next to him, fell into deep thought.

...

A comment suddenly popped up at this moment.

[It seems like this classmate named Xiao Wen feels more alive when he's with Lao He.]

Is Lao He finally going to make his first friend besides his kitten?

[Draw it quickly! Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare rest like this!]

Its popularity soared.

[Popularity increased by 0.5]

[Popularity increased by 0.5]

Now he has over a thousand loyal comic book fans, and his popularity score has finally reached 16 points.

We are four popularity points and one plot point away from the next level.

That's already very fast.

Regarding the plot points, He Zhou also has some guesses.

Where there are highlights, there will inevitably be plot points; it doesn't need to rely on the author's arrangement.

Normally, if the author thinks of him and arranges a plot for him... even if he doesn't listen to him and doesn't complete the plot, there will still be plot points.

The author of the dog story will probably make arrangements, right?

...

"Seven three!"

"Didn't we reach a friendly settlement on July 30th?"

"If you don't agree... fifty-fifty is fine too!"

In reality, Tian Xiaoxi looked at the pitiful four hundred yuan in her bank card and was so depressed that she could only go downstairs to buy a cup of instant noodles.

Her heart was bleeding when she saw that today's updated chapter was full of Nezha drawings by He Zhou.

NO!

The more he draws!

The more data traffic they deduct when the payment for the article is made, the more they'll do it!

She won't even have 500 this month, will she?

I'm trying to create a new comic, but all the backend functions are locked; I can't modify, delete, or add new comics.

Tian Xiaoxi also received a voice message on her phone from her family: "[No money! Ask your dad!]"

My phone vibrated once.

She glanced at it one last time, hoping: "No money! Ask your mom!"

"..."

No!

It can't go on like this!

She needs to start planning the main storyline!

73... never mind, let's go with 55.

I'll spend 50% of my time drawing Nezha for him!

Spend 50% of the time on the main storyline!

That's not excessive, is it?

Chapter 34 What? I'm the Most Dangerous Part 1 (Please Read On)

"It just so happens that his Nezha series is also nearing its end."

"Once he finishes drawing, I'll give him some background information... That should be fine, right?"

Thinking of her previous failed attempts to arrange the plot, Tian Xiaoxi sat cross-legged and studied the drawing for a long time, deciding to wait until He Zhou finished drawing before making any arrangements.

"My integrity is worth a fortune!"

"But how about... we check if there are any ghostwriter jobs?"

Tian Xiaoxi stared at the black market section of the comic artist forum with a troubled expression, just in time to see a comic sequel looking for a ghostwriter.

"How could I, Tian Xiaoxi, be a ghostwriter?!"

"Nameless and without a surname!"

"How can others recognize the beauty of my paintings?!"

Half an hour later.

Tian Xiaoxi's defenses crumbled as she stared at the other party's reply.

[Judging by your style... are you Tian Xiaoxi? Tian Xiaoxi is no good.]

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, the person on the other end added a sentence.

[If you're ghostwriting, your art style is too unique. The editor will find out, which will implicate my entire comic, forfeit my royalties, and damage my reputation.]

[You've abandoned so many books before, and everyone has studied your brushstrokes and colors. The entire website can recognize your work as soon as you paint.]

Aside from works that are confirmed to be collaborative comics drawn by multiple people and reported to the editor, if a single person holds all the copyrights but is caught using ghostwriters, they will be penalized and reported to the authorities.

...

Tian Xiaoxi was secretly pleased, with a hint of smugness in her heart.

She held her head high with pride.

My exquisite and unique art style is my badge of honor!

Envious, aren't you!

Before she could even process the rejection, she saw the other person's second post in the refreshed thread.

[Tian Xiaoxi is anonymously looking for a ghostwriter! Everyone be careful! If you find her to be a ghostwriter, it means everyone will know you've hired someone to write your comic!]

Many people below scoffed at this.

No matter how much she tries to disguise it, I can still recognize her.

[Don't worry, her art style is so unique, who could resist? With those brushstrokes and colors, no matter how much someone wants to change their art style, their aesthetic sense and color preferences are unchangeable.]

Someone even started a thread on the comic book black market.

The post title is very straightforward.

As a seasoned bookworm who's been let down by Tian Xiaoxi's urban fantasy series with its terrible endings over thirty times, I'm here to help you identify Tian Xiaoxi's art style for free. I can recognize it with my eyes closed! She just loves writing urban fantasy series! A complete flop!

"!!!"

My money-making method has been updated again.

Tian Xiaoxi was seriously pondering the plot when a new comic panel suddenly appeared.

"Load-bearing capacity test!"

"what!"

"That's right! The plot I arranged last time is here!"

She watched it with great interest.

...

A week is certainly not enough time to draw the whole Nezha story. Although there is only one ending missing, the time available to draw each day is limited. At noon today, after chatting with Xiao Wen and seeing that everyone was feeling down, He Zhou became alert.

Damn it.

Again.

Xiao Wen, who was standing next to him, asked a question.

"Xiao Zhou, are you nervous?"

"what happened?"

"The load-bearing capacity test should be conducted soon."

Xiao Wen was extremely nervous: "The teacher said that load-bearing capacity is the most important thing."

"If the carrying capacity is low, the lamp pool level will be low, and it will not be able to awaken special abilities, and can only learn some ordinary abilities."

"What's there to be nervous about?"

Its own carrying capacity is obviously low.

Although I've leveled up a few times, my current status is still just a nobody.

However, He Zhou doesn't necessarily think it's a bad thing.

The more difficult and demanding the upgrade, the more it proves that the path taken after the character's status upgrade is correct.

It's like one is a smooth road filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the other is a road full of thorns.

If all paths lead to the same destination, then the seemingly difficult path might be the only option.

This is what my grandmother said.

If the pitfall isn't halfway there, it must be at the end.

...

"Next, I will test and record the approximate load-bearing capacity for you all."

The first class in the afternoon.

The homeroom teacher walked in with the new class schedule.

He posted the new class schedule on the wall and announced it to everyone.

"Students with a carrying capacity of over 17.1 may be able to enter the experimental class in the future, but those with a carrying capacity of less than 17.1 should not be discouraged."

"According to the school's observation, the carrying capacity can also be increased. As long as everyone works hard in every class and the courses are excellent, most of them can be increased later."

When the homeroom teacher got to this point, He Zhou paused for a moment.

Will they also rise the day after tomorrow?

But after thinking about it for a long time, he understood.

This place should now be a real world operating according to the rules and logic of comics.

They were initially given a basic role by the author according to logic, but as they worked hard and became relatively useful people, their role should be considered to have increased.

The corresponding factor is load-bearing capacity.

Just like those useful characters who only briefly appeared on the leaderboard in comics and novels, they've finally made an appearance.

However, I rely on popularity, and I also have an extra bonus in terms of exchange ability.
