Chapter 79: Did her figures lack souls?
Chapter 79: Did her figures lack souls?
10 AM.
Gu Shishi looked at the new weapon that she had just received – the $4,000 foot spa.
In her past life she had only used $200 foot spa before, what an upgrade!
As such, after much mulling, she decided to draw a big one!
She poured in some water and heated it up.
She checked the water temperature. It was comfortable.
Gu Shishi made herself comfortable sitting down next to her desk and picked up her paintbrush.
Not only had she mimicked countless mythical peach paintings, she had also created dozens of original ones herself.
So she planned to up the challenge level today.
She wanted to paint a Children Offering Up Mythical Peaches painting.
All elderlies, especially the wealthy ones, always wanted to have lots of children. They believed that the more children you have, the luckier you were.
She has decided on a painting with 4-5 children, all offering up the mythical peaches.
Combining figures, birds and flowers all into one.
That way, the painting would look rich and not monotonous, lively and festive.
She first formulated the picture in her head before she put it on paper.
After it was done, she looked at it left and right and felt that there weren’t a lot of errors on it and was a decent work.
“The artistic conception though…. it’s a little lacking.”
Gu Shishi sighed.
Was it really not possible to make other live the painting without the system’s cheat?
How far away was her from the system’s beginner’s level?
She gritted her teeth, took a look at her full five days’ worth of life bar, and converted three hours of the skill.
That was painful.
The composition of the painting did not change. It was still the same children and peaches.
But when she closed her eyes, she could almost hear the giggling sound from the young children and the nonstop, boisterous “Grandma!” and “Have a peach!” filled her ears.
Gu Shishi closed her eyes and her body shuddered.
Souls.
She had spent a lot of time perfecting her figure skill. As her style has the natural exquisiteness that of a female, her master had she focused solely on figures at the beginning. He said that was a good path for her.
As much as she had perfected the expressions, actions, as well as the patterns and materials of their outfits, did her figures lack souls?
A figure without its spirit, no matter how detailed it was, would still be too overly superficial and not enough to touch the viewers.
Gu Shishi felt that she was slowly figuring out the entrance to her next path.
Right now, when she reached her hand out, she felt a fuzzy peach that was so huge in size that she couldn’t even hold it in one hand. And she could even smell its sweet aroma in her nose.
At that very moment, she seemed to have turned into one of the children in the painting, who just found out what a mythical peach looked like.
Gu Shishi had her eyes closed and couldn’t tell the passing of time…

On the other hand, Chen Kexin, also known as MeowMeow, goofed around for two whole days and finally remembered the mailing tube that the maid had placed in her room.
She has yet to open it.
As she had seen the picture of it already, she wasn’t eager to open it up and look at the real thing.
“I wonder if she’s done with the congratulatory painting for grandma’s birthday yet?”
Chen Kexin thought about the time in her mind before she opened up the mailing tube.
Right when she was thinking to herself that she’d text her and find out where she was with the painting, her eyes were dazzled by the drawing paper that she had just pulled out.
