Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 599 Teacher, your Bazett cosplay is so accurate!

There are actually many people who can recreate the equipment and items in the game with high fidelity. Perhaps many people's manual skills are not fine enough, but in today's technologically advanced world, the existence of 3D printers allows many novices who are willing to start from scratch to easily make what they want.

However, using maltose to recreate game equipment and items is indeed a very unique track that is difficult to replicate easily.

If it's just a flat 2D image, for some people with an art background, as long as they are willing to invest some resources and time to try diligently, draw and practice more, they can always make a name for themselves.

However, these 3D candy figurines are so realistic that they are almost like high-tech replicas. This requires not only a lot of practice, but also a kind of talent.

"It's so beautiful...it's too beautiful...no one could bear to eat it..."

The person in charge, who also loves games, walked around the candied hawthorns, liking them more and more, and developed an extremely strong desire to collect them.

He truly deserves to be called an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage! This money was well spent!
Sometimes, people collect things for their scarcity, and Cheng Tian's level of craftsmanship has clearly touched the hearts of some collectors.

However, Cheng Tian's rapid evolution has created a minor but significant additional problem.

That is the problem of transporting 3D sugar figurines.

The exhibition organizers have already set up freezers. Because of the tight schedule, there was no time to customize them, so they simply modified the kind of freezers with transparent glass doors that are mainly used to store drinks at the entrance of small shops, and transformed them into candy figurine display cases.

...But if all the pre-ordered candy figurines are made in advance, how can they be brought to the venue?
It melts easily and is susceptible to damage from impacts. Given Shanghai's terrible weather, it would probably melt almost completely just by walking around outside the venue.

"It's okay. As long as you have all the materials, I can just cook it on the spot. Maybe it will even attract some attention."

Cheng Tian patted his chest and guaranteed it.

For him now, the only remaining factor limiting the production of sugar figurines is the time it takes for the syrup to solidify on its own. The stability of his hands is now sufficient to ensure that there are no mistakes when kneading the sugar.

"...What's the largest size you can make?"

The person in charge hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and asked another question, which surprised Cheng Tian. He pinched his chin and began to simulate the situation in his mind.

"I've never made anything bigger than this red gourd... Do you want me to make a sugar figurine based on the life-size of the game's main character?"

"Correct!"

"Theoretically, it's possible, but it would probably require some internal frame for support, otherwise the weight of the sugar itself would crush the entire figure... Or do you want me to make it solid? Putting aside the weight of a solid sugar statue, the stove and heat required to melt maltose are already very demanding. It can't be melted by a few gas stoves and small pots. It would probably require a super-large pot and stove that are related to the Guinness World Records."

Moreover, both hollow and solid ones are very time-consuming, especially the latter. It's better to go directly to the factory to make molds than to use intangible cultural heritage materials.

Furthermore, the difficulty level of creating life-size figures is on a completely different level than what was specified in the contract.

Cheng Tian quickly outlined all the issues and handed the decision directly to the other party.

Although Cheng Tian was also interested in making life-size sugar figurines, he had no interest in working for others for free.

Cheng Tian has professional ethics, but the underlying operating logic of doing only what he is paid for is also the same.

“…I’ll go ask.” “Please.”

The person in charge, who remained noncommittal about Cheng Tian's attitude, decisively picked up the phone and began contacting their superiors. Since it involved further contract revisions and paying more money, it was a matter of whether their superiors would relent.

The person in charge returned quickly.

"The boss said that if it's produced on-site at the venue and broadcast live the whole time, we can get this amount."

The person in charge made a gesture to Cheng Tian.

"Deal~"

Cheng Tian gladly accepted.

……

Early morning on the first day of the exhibition at the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center.

A spirited Cheng, along with Bazett, followed the staff through the employee entrance and entered the venue ahead of time.

Even before entering, Cheng Tian could already sense the incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere.

It was early morning, but a long line had already formed at the entrance of the convention center. Cheng Tian even learned from the staff that the people at the very front of the line had actually come in the early hours of the morning to queue up overnight...

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? Or is there something at this exhibition that you absolutely must see?
It's worth noting that Cheng had personally experienced a world-class fighting tournament in the previous main storyline. Although as a participant he didn't have to wait in line like everyone else, the spectacle was still quite outrageous.

But the scene before him was even worse than what Cheng Tian had imagined.

I wonder how many of these people flew in from all over the country during their summer vacation just to attend this national-level animation and game event.

The venue for the collaborative games is Hall N1, specifically area G001, which is the PLAYSTATION-related exhibition area.

The final set has been completed ahead of schedule, featuring a strong traditional Chinese style. A sign for "Shadow Blade" hangs high up, resembling an inn plaque. Looking inside, you can see numerous cosplayers dressed in night clothes and wearing straw hats, "patrolling" like guards. Their target is the PS5 machines and their corresponding screens that have been equipped with game demos.

Cheng Tian's "stall" was set aside in a separate area.

It's important to understand that this is a very crowded exhibition area. Just finding a place where Cheng Tian could make sugar on-site was already extremely difficult. Open flames were simply not allowed, as they are not permitted from a fire safety and security perspective.

Therefore, we had to designate a separate area that would be safer for both the game console and the players, and then set up an induction cooker and a pot there.

In the past, such a promotional plan would have been rejected outright. But in today's era of online live streaming rife with all sorts of strange and bizarre things, people are willing to try anything that has the potential to attract more traffic.

"Hello teacher, may I take a picture with you?"

Just as Cheng Tianlu rolled up his sleeves to prepare to make the syrup, he heard this sentence from behind.

Turning around, I saw my Bazett staring at me like a socially awkward dog—

Still wearing her signature red bean-colored fitted suit, she was already surrounded by several cosplayers.
