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

Chapter 296 The Dog Came with the Cat

"A master of scroll painting?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"The name we gave this machine."

"That's a good name—simple and clear," Wu Xian said knowingly. "How much did it cost?"

While mixing the paint for the Jade Rabbit Fairy, Tang Tiaotiao laughed and said, "Tomorrow, I'll have the brothers set one up for you for free as payment for this custom-made scroll by Sister Tiaotiao. If you want more later, just give me the cost price. A high-end one costs around 80 million, which isn't too expensive."

"Can I make a reservation first?" Wu Xian was now quite wealthy.

"Of course, just give the deposit and order directly to Sister Qingxuan. From now on, the business of [Scroll Master] will mainly be handled by our Tang family's main branch."

Wu Xian understood and didn't bother Sister Tiao any further.

Meanwhile, Sister Jump had finished mixing the pigments and began to formally reconstruct the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine.

The Jade Rabbit has already been upgraded to the seventh and a half stars of the Golden Scroll by Sister Jump. After being reconstructed into the Jade Rabbit Fairy, its overall performance and combat power will only be higher.

After all, it's an optimized version of the Jade Rabbit design.

While Jump Sister was reconstructing the Jade Rabbit, Wu Xian was still immersed in the shock and excitement brought by the [Scroll Master].

With this scroll-drawing machine, Chen Xu and Yao Xueer, the two apprentices, could finally escape their life as "oxen and horses."

How do you say that?

We didn't have those conditions back then.
Looking back on the days when I worked overtime to rush out orders for scroll paintings, I can't help but marvel at the progress of the times and the greatness of technology.

For the vast majority of scroll painters, this was a complete liberation of productivity, an absolutely groundbreaking "invention".

At the same time, it also made him realize the true value of Sister Jump's skills in the Mechanical Dojo.

Any other power would treat Sister Jump like royalty.

drop!drop!
As he was reflecting on this, a special notification on his phone made Wu Xian frown.

This is a special private message reminder he set up on a certain forum. In the event of an emergency, the two spy guys would use this method to pass on intelligence to him.

Upon checking the private messages, his expression darkened.

The private message was simple and clear: "Urgent intelligence, that old dog has hired a helper to join forces to capture you. They're using the mechanical dimension route. I secretly left a wisp of Night Wanderer's soul on him, so you should be able to roughly sense the old dog's location."

"Help? What's their background? Someone from the upper echelons?" Wu Xian replied quickly.

“No, that’s not it,” the spy replied. “It seems to be a powerful figure from the Miao family in the neighboring Ziyang Province, but I don’t know much about him.”

"Okay, you just need to be careful to stay hidden over there. I don't need to worry about anything here."

After ending the call, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel curious.

"The Miao people?"

Searching online for information about the Miao people in Ziyang Province, his expression gradually became strange.

A family known for its powerful cat-themed scrolls, with a rather mysterious background and almost no in-depth information available.

Considering the Wang family's situation, the answer is obvious.

"So the upper class not only likes keeping dogs, but also cats, right?" Wu Xian's expression was strange.

However, in the mythology of ancient China, there were really no cat-like deities, but there were quite a few cat demons in folk legends.

After all, cats are a species that was introduced to the world relatively late.

To be honest, he was quite interested in seeing this upper-class person's kitten.

At the same time, the laws of heaven and earth converged on the side where Jump Sister was, and the Jade Rabbit Scroll was successfully reconstructed.

"Hehe, perfect ending!" Jump Sister clapped her hands in satisfaction.

The only difference between the scroll and Wu Xian's sketch was the addition of a giant divine-made mecha in the background. However, the divine-made mecha seemed more like a magical artifact or piece of equipment.

Sure enough, the spirit summoned by Sister Jump at this moment is the playful and cute Jade Rabbit Fairy, and no mecha appears.

"As expected of me," Jump Sister looked at the Jade Rabbit Fairy as if looking in a mirror, "I feel that my abilities and the laws of the universe have also increased a lot."

"What a coincidence, I was just about to go to the Mechanical Dimension, want to come along?" Wu Xian suggested.

"What are you doing in the mechanical wasteland in the middle of the night?"

Wu Xian explained, "I just received news that two of the higher-ups' lackeys are trying to arrest me. I'm going to meet them at the Mechanical Dimension."

"A lackey of the upper echelons?"

Jump Sister was unaware of the grudges and entanglements between Wu Xian and the Divine Dog Club.

Wu Xian briefly recounted what had happened. After learning about the actions of the higher-ups, Sister Tiao was so angry she was almost about to explode.

Our Sister Tiao is the kind of chivalrous, big sister type.

The existence of the upper class disgusted her from every angle.

"Outrageous! Outrageous!" Jumping Sister's fighting spirit soared, her eyes burning with rage. "By the way, where is this so-called Upper World? I'll have the Divine Realm bombard it right now!"

"I don't know." Wu Xian spread his hands helplessly. "Those people are hiding very well. No one knows their exact location yet."

"What a pity," Sister Jump said with a regretful look. "If you hear any news about this later, remember to let me know. Have they gone too far?"

Wu Xian chuckled, "Speaking of which, doesn't your Mechanical Dojo have any henchmen of the higher-ups?"

"I'll talk to Sister Qingxuan later and do a secret investigation," Sister Tiao said fiercely. "If I find out that anyone has connections with the higher-ups, I'll give them a world-destroying divine light."

"World-destroying divine light?" Wu Xian couldn't help but be curious.

"The new thing we recently developed with the God of Mechanical Creation in the Mechanical God Realm is roughly similar to the Fallen God effect in other God Realms, and its power is quite good," Jump Sister said with a smile. "I'll demonstrate it for you later."

As they spoke, the two had already left the North District under the cover of night and headed straight for the Mechanical Dimension.

……

Yaoyang City, near the Mechanical Dimensional Rift.

Wang Zhi walked side by side with a glamorous and aloof woman, while the Snow Mastiff God and a two-tailed black cat easily dealt with the harassment from the mechanical monsters.

"A mere scroll painter, does he really require Senior Wang and I to personally intervene?" The alluring woman asked, puzzled. "Could it be that the boy is related to those three great demon gods?"

“No, not at all,” Wang Zhi shook his head and said, “It’s just that that kid has an extraordinary talent for painting scrolls, and he’s very difficult to deal with.”

"Hmph~" the glamorous woman couldn't help but mock, "You bunch of stupid dogs won't admit it, you can't even handle an ant."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi's lips twitched slightly, and he could only swallow his anger.

After all, they came to help him solve the problem.

Logically speaking, she and this little slut's mother are of the same generation, but since this little slut is favored above, he can't afford to offend her.

“You little girl, you don’t know this, but that boy is very strange. He even took away the collar that was given to me by the higher-ups,” Wang Zhi warned. “So you must not use your bell collar later.”

"What?" Miao Youyou's eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "This person actually possesses such heaven-defying abilities?"

It's worth noting that both of their collars are high-level creations, very useful for bullying otherworldly monsters, and can easily suppress unruly cats and dogs.

I never imagined that someone could come up with such a way to fight against the higher beings.

This made her somewhat interested in Wu Xian.

“In addition, this person has also drawn a golden scroll of divine dogs, which my lord values ​​highly,” Wang Zhi continued. “I have come here today to subdue it on behalf of my lord.”
