Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 17 Tang Tiaotiao's Shock (Please continue reading)

"Oh, so how is the talent of this massive sea scroll painter?"

Tang Tiaotiao snorted and pouted, "Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, judging from the teachers' attitudes towards him, he seems to have quite a talent."

"how about you?"

“Of course I’m the center of attention,” Tang said, raising her chin. “But the teachers seem to care more about my little jade rabbit.”

Wu Xian understood and said nothing more.

We chatted idly all the way to the fortress exit.

"Stay close to me after we get out, don't wander off," Tang Tiaotiao warned from the front. "It's your first time in a dungeon, you don't know how dangerous the other-dimensional dungeon is."

Little did they know, Wu Xian was no longer a novice.

Stepping out of the fortress, the world suddenly opened up before my eyes, a desolate wasteland, with some giant buildings stretching like mountain ranges in the distance.

Not far away, you can also see a giant, abandoned mine pit.

"Let's go over there first!"

Tang Tiaotiao took out an electronic map that looked like a mobile phone and confirmed the direction of the target.

"You still have a map?"

Wu Xian looked curiously at the electronic map screen in Tang Tiaotiao's hand.

Goodness, all kinds of terrain and locations are clearly marked.

Without hesitation, Tang Tiaotiao said, "These low-level dungeon maps can be downloaded for free by art studios, making it convenient for everyone to gather inspiration."

As he spoke, he tossed out a scroll, which transformed into a uniquely designed small mountain bike.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is this car one of your products?"

“Of course,” Tang Tiaotiao casually introduced, “the fourth generation of Lynx, the [copy] version, so many people want to buy it but can’t get their hands on it.”

Wu Xian clicked his tongue in admiration.

Soon after, they successfully arrived at the target location, which resembled an abandoned, massive mining base.

As soon as the two arrived, they were locked onto by two mechanical monsters in the form of drones in the sky, which emitted a series of alarms and targeted lasers, followed closely by energy blasts.

Biubiu……!
Tang Tiaotiao smiled calmly as the silver scroll painting [Moon Messenger - Jade Rabbit] made its dazzling debut, and the painting spirit's level had been raised to two stars.

Under the shimmering moonlight, a humanoid rabbit with an anime-style design appeared, dressed in a bright yellow palace dress with flowing ribbons, looking exactly like an adorable fairy rabbit.

The energy projectiles fired by the monster were easily blocked by the moonlight defense surrounding the Jade Rabbit.

"How about it? Isn't the little jade rabbit amazing?" Tang Tiaotiao asked boastfully.

Then, the Jade Rabbit Fairy waved her little hand, shooting out two crescent-shaped moonlight attacks that instantly blasted the two drone monsters apart.

"Great!"

Wu Xian nodded in agreement and released the guardian tiger that protected the house.

Unlike the Jade Rabbit's cute and beautiful appearance, the Divine Tiger is clearly much more majestic and domineering.

At the same time, mechanical monsters of various shapes and sizes are rapidly approaching, drawn by the alarm.

There are humanoid types, half-humanoid types, and half-human, half-beast types. There are more first-tier monsters and fewer second-tier monsters.

Two of the mechanical monsters were clearly different in style from the other monsters, which quickly caught the attention of the two.

"Huh, those two mechanical monsters have been mutated by the plant element?" Tang Tiaotiao was both surprised and delighted.

The two mechanical monsters were covered in strange vines, and their parts had been replaced by vine plants. Vines sprouted from their bodies and quickly wrapped around the two of them.

The Jade Rabbit and the Divine Tiger reacted quickly, repelling the vine attack.

"Strange, how could there be plant mutations here?"

Tang Tiaotiao, in high spirits, led Wu Xian through the chaos, encountering more and more mechanical creatures mutated by plant-based mutations.

The Jade Rabbit displayed extraordinary combat power, and a pestle appeared in its hand at some unknown time. It swung it around silently.

Not to be outdone, the guardian tiger pounced and tore several mechanical monsters to shreds.

However, those plant-mutated monsters were extremely difficult to deal with. Even after being broken apart, they could still be pulled back together by the vines, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.

"No, the two of us can't break through!"

Tang Tiaotiao now wielded a [Dungeon] Ice Spray, unleashing bursts of frost energy that forced back and slowed down the charging monsters.

Just as Wu Xian was hesitating whether to release the God of Wealth, a series of cannonballs came from behind and landed among the mechanical monsters.

Boom boom boom...

Immediately afterward, the field research team, led by Pang Dahai, appeared at the rear. Pang Dahai leaned against the shoulder of a humanoid mechanical painting spirit, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Plant-type mutant machinery, what a find!"

Several teammates nearby also had their eyes light up.

"Get lost! We found this place first!" Tang Tiaotiao was inexplicably angry.

For her, anyone can come, except for Pang Dahai's team.

"Tch~" Pang Dahai clearly didn't take the two seriously. "Dungeon monsters are always fair competition. So what if you got here first? Come on, everyone, let's charge in together!"

After saying that, a team of men unleashed their full firepower and charged deep into the mechanical base.

Tang Tiaotiao was so anxious she could only stare blankly, but there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, Pang Dahai and his group were also disgusted by the mutated plant monster.

"What the hell? It's indestructible?"

"It's all shattered into pieces, how can it be pieced back together?"

"I'm stunned. Those plant vines aren't afraid of my flamethrower?"

"Not only are they impervious to fire, but their toughness and hardness are also astonishing," another team member, wielding a handsome longsword, said solemnly. "My Xuan Tian Sword couldn't even cut through them!"

"Hiss~ This isn't a plant, it's practically a high-strength power cable!"

At this moment, the people on both sides realized the power of these plant-based mutant monsters in front of them.

With the fusion of botany and mechanics, we can no longer view those vines from a purely "plant" perspective.

In contrast, Tang Tiaotiao's Jade Rabbit was more effective, at least managing to break the "plant" vines.

"Wait, look over there!"

Pang Dahai and the others looked over in confusion, their eyes widening in surprise.

Tang Tiaotiao and his companion, who had been left behind, were now rapidly approaching the depths of the base, protected by a layer of golden light.

The attacks from numerous mechanical monsters and mutated monsters were completely blocked by the golden light.

boom!
A bolt of lightning struck, instantly shutting down several mechanical monsters, causing them to disconnect on the spot.

The mutated monster that was hit head-on exploded on the spot, its vines shattered all over the ground, and it completely lost the chance to be pieced back together and resurrected.

"It's that kid, it's that kid's scroll!"

"You two know that guy?" Pang Dahai looked at the two of them with surprise and suspicion.

But the two men avoided eye contact and stammered, "We encountered them before in the Strange Abyss. They were quite formidable."

"What kind of scroll is so amazing?" everyone asked curiously.

"And that golden energy shield, could it be some kind of advanced skill scroll?"

……

Protected by the aura of wealth, Wu Xian was filled with curiosity about the situation inside the base.

But Tang Tiaotiao, standing to the side, was not so calm. When Wu Xian said he would take her in, she thought he was joking.

Until the God of Wealth appeared, erecting this seemingly "invincible" energy shield.

"Little Xianzi, you...you...you have a second scroll?!"

It took Tang Tiaotiao a long time to recover her senses. She looked at Wu Xian, then at the majestic and powerful God of Wealth beside her, her eyes filled with shock.

"Good luck~ Good luck~," Wu Xian replied with a simple smile.

"..."

Tang Tiaotiao secretly doubted her life. She originally thought that Wu Xian only had a little talent for painting scrolls and was a talent that was buried because of his family background.

I never expected Wu Xian to be so outrageous.

In comparison, those so-called scroll-painting geniuses in the art studio are utterly pathetic.

"Xiao Xianzi, do you still want to go to the art studio?" Tang Tiaotiao couldn't hide her excitement. "I'll talk to the teacher for you. With your talent, the art studio will definitely be willing to give you another chance to retake the exam."

"Let's decide whether to go or not."

Wu Xian smiled indifferently.

I originally wanted to go to the art studio to understand the basic principles and processes of scroll painting, but that's no longer necessary.

Moreover, attending an art studio requires tuition fees, which are quite high each year, so there's no need to waste that money.

In addition, what does it mean to "give you another chance to retake the exam"?
