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

Chapter 181 There are handsome guys in the Necromancer class too.

Inside the Underworld Club, Wu Xian had completely cemented his status as acting president.

There was nothing he could do; after being enlightened by him, his master sister went into seclusion again.

For the club members, it doesn't matter whether Xue Lingling or Wu Xian is in charge of the club.

After being promoted to the Silver Rank Club, the members have begun to compete in the Silver Rank League, but they have not been able to "sweep away" as expected.

After all, Bai Shiqi was still "struggling" in Yaoyang City, and his silver-tier scrolls were still quite powerful.

Moreover, after that battle, Shiraishi Sai seemed to have gained some insights, and the [Emperor Mummy] series has also been greatly improved, which can be considered as adding some "game experience" to the club members.

After all, the league environment in Yaoyang City is really bad, and it's not very interesting to keep going for seconds.

Besides the competition, the members are also working hard to collect various resources and strive for their first "golden ticket".

Anyone who chooses the league route, who wouldn't want to become a Gold-rank player and compete in the Gold-rank league?
This was something that spirit masters from small cities like them never dared to dream of before.

Now that the great president and vice president have created the conditions for them, how could they possibly let this opportunity slip by?
To put it simply, the members of the Underworld Club have started to flock to the various scrolls in the Association, with teams appearing frequently in the various scroll instances like hungry wolves.

In addition, the addition of Xue Zhengying and Huang Lili has brought some new vitality to the club.

Xue Zhengying, in particular, provides a lot of systematic training and guidance to younger players, enabling them to gradually become professional club players.

As for Huang Lili, let's not even mention her.

Every day, they spread "cult" ideas to some of the female players in the club.

Fortunately, this girl has recently become obsessed with the [Laurel Tree] training pod, and lives in the training pod with two male gods every day. What can you do when a rich girl like her has money?

I'm currently in contact with my father, Vice President Huang, to help her collect materials for upgrading the [Kui Mulang] brother's gold scroll.

This really worried Vice President Huang, who was far away in the provincial capital.

The entire Underworld Club was filled with a thriving atmosphere.

"Godfather, Godfather!" Huang Lili shouted as she knocked on the door and entered, "Something terrible has happened!"

Wu Xian, who was engrossed in pondering the case of the judges of the underworld, suddenly had a black line appear on his forehead. "Didn't you go to Holy Spirit Island to collect materials on the Vajra Tiger King?"

“That’s what I mean,” Huang Lili exclaimed in surprise, “The association said they received a last-minute notice from the Holy Spirit Dojo saying they’re taking back Holy Spirit Island and they’re not allowing anyone to enter right now.”

"Huh?" Wu Xian was secretly shocked. "How could this be?"

What's going on? Could it be that the Holy Spirit Dojo has already realized the problem?

"I don't know?" Huang Lili said pitifully, "Waaah, what am I going to do about my two poor brothers?!"

“Well, there’s no need for that,” Wu Xian said with a wry smile. “While the Holy Spirit materials from Holy Spirit Island are the best, they’re not irreplaceable. I’ll give you some ideas; just use these criteria to find them.”

"But I want to give my two older brothers the best."

"..." Wu Xian said helplessly, "Don't worry~ As long as we can find materials that meet these standards, they are no worse than those from Holy Spirit Island."

While the materials from Holy Spirit Island are excellent, they only slightly capitalize on the "popularity" of the Four Heavenly Spirits. Their only advantage is that they are easy to obtain and inexpensive, but they are not necessities.

"Really?" Huang Lili muttered, expressing her doubt.

"Don't worry! The only advantage of the materials from Holy Spirit Island is that they're a bit cheaper," Wu Xian assured him, patting his chest. "By the way, Lily, are you interested in the Necromancer Scroll?"

"Not interested," Huang Lili replied decisively, even with a hint of disdain.

Wu Xian asked, "What if it's a really cool necromancer-themed scroll?" Huang Lili's expression was strange. "Does a necromancer-themed scroll have anything to do with the word 'cool'?"

“Why not?” Wu Xian grinned and showed Huang Lili the sketches he had been working on for the past two days. “Although the necromancer genre has its own underworld style and terrifying atmosphere, it’s not impossible for it to be cool.”

Huang Lili's appearance made him realize the importance of appearance to the scroll painting.

Even setting aside niche groups like Huang Lili, most consumers inevitably make decisions based on appearance.

Therefore, when designing the characters for the judges, I completely abandoned some of the established images from my previous life and went for a "purely original" image design like that of the Pleiades Star Lord.

Forget about Zhong Kui from the Punishment Department; so-called adaptation isn't random fabrication, and not all Chinese deities are suitable for his "cosmetic surgery methods."

Take Zhong Kui, for example. As a fierce and evil deity in the Department of Punishment, he is not supposed to be handsome at all. Forcing him to be handsome would actually affect the integrity of the concept.

But the other three judges are still quite promising.

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but aesthetics should be diverse. You should learn to appreciate different styles of beauty," Wu Xian earnestly advised. "That way, you can also appreciate more handsome men, right?"

As it turned out, he had worried unnecessarily.

Huang Lili was immediately drawn to the sketches of the three judges, Cui Yu, Wei Zheng, and Lu Zhidao.

"Wow! A necromancer can be this handsome?" Huang Lili's eyes were wide with admiration, filled with disbelief. "But this one named Wei Zheng is a bit too much of an old man. As for the other two Yin Marshals, I'll reserve them for now."

"The Underworld Marshals?" Wu Xian was stunned. "They are not Underworld Marshals, but Judges."

"I know, the 'Yin Shuai' I used was an adjective, not a noun."

"..."

After sending Huang Lili away, Wu Xian continued to refine the images of the judges.

There's no need to change the image of Wei Zheng, the judge of the Rewards and Benevolence Division. After all, everyone has their own preferences, and the mature, older man type has a large market.

However, during the process of revising and perfecting it, he received an unexpected phone call.

Wu Xian was astonished to receive a video call from Sister Tiao.

Life has lost much of its joy since Sister Tiao left.

“Hey~ Sister Jump,” Wu Xian answered the video call with great interest, “I couldn’t get through to you when I called you before. I thought you were being closely protected by the Mechanical Dojo.”

"Hmph! If they don't let me out for some fresh air, I'm going to get depressed," Tang Tiaotiao grumbled fiercely. "Luckily, those old guys are smart enough to introduce you to them later."

"Little brother?" Wu Xian's lips twitched slightly.

What the hell, little brother? By the way, did Jumpy Sister turn the Mechanical Gym into a mechanical club?
"Hehe, Sister Jump has a high status here now. In the future, when you come to the Mechanical Dojo's territory, if anyone dares to bully you, just say my name." Sister Jump is still the same Sister Jump. "I heard that Little Xianzi is doing quite well lately. I just came out for some fresh air and I heard about the reputation of your Underworld Club. No wonder you are my most valued little brother. You have a bright future!"

Wu Xian couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Really? Our Underworld Club's reputation has spread all the way to your area?"

"It's mainly because Sister Qingxuan pays a lot of attention to you; she watched your entire qualifying round."

"Okay," Wu Xian said, suddenly realizing.

After some casual conversation, my mood inexplicably brightened, as if I had returned to the carefree campus life.

After learning about the top-notch treatment that Sister Jump was receiving at the Mechanical Dojo, Wu Xian felt much more at ease.

"Alright, I need to go plan and prepare for the upcoming invitational tournament," Tang Tiaotiao said with a hint of helplessness, "By the way, my brother has been obsessed with your theories lately. He's gotten a lot of top-notch mechanical materials from me recently, and I don't know what he's up to. I just called him, but he didn't answer. Could you go check on him for me later?"
