If I don't capture the girl, I will die

One paints, the other models.

Really, he wouldn't say anything about this kind of thing, so there's no need to hide it from him.

"Let's talk about this later... I have more important things to do."

Sagiri, who didn't seem to be sleepy at all, paused for a moment, then said, "Brother, now, between me and that person, who is more powerful?"

"That person? Who?"

Chapter 115 Love can generate electricity

Ji Qi, who was at a loss for words, replied in confusion, judging from the level of this painting, no one he knew could compare to it!

"It's that woman!"

Sagiri, who didn't know if Ji Qi was playing dumb or really didn't know, repeated it, but she still didn't say her name.

"Ah, you mean Sawamura, right?"

Ji Qi, who was a little confused just now, quickly figured everything out, and his heart was filled with helplessness and weirdness.

Could this be caused by competitors?

But the result is good.

Sagiri's painting skills improved, and at the same time, she was able to communicate with others other than him for the first time.

"Well, based on this one, it's definitely better than hers. But it's hard to say about the others."

After thinking for a while, Ji Qi said slowly.

That's not lying.

Eriri Sawamura also started learning to paint at a young age, and it seems that the two of them have similar talents.

This is his evaluation of his transformation from a layman to an insider.

Ji Qi had not realized it before, but after this incident, he realized that it was definitely a good thing to have a competitor on the road of creation, especially one of the same age.

They are rivals and good friends.

Let's see if I can stimulate Sawamura Eriri again in the future, otherwise it would be embarrassing to ask her to help for free all the time...

Sagiri's expression changed from joy to subtlety.

Fair answer.

The unwillingness in her heart gave rise to a surge of fighting spirit.

In those beautiful yet tired sapphire eyes, there emerged an unconcealable iron will.

Absolutely, absolutely, it will be better than what that woman showed you.

So, when the time comes...

"Well, the most important thing you need to do now is to eat something and have a good sleep. Good night——"

Ji Qi went outside and brought the food on the tray to Sagiri's table, then closed the door and spoke softly.

Well, this is good morning, not good night.

After complaining, Ji Qi finished his daily work and was thinking about what to do next when the doorbell rang.

Maybe the things he bought have arrived.

Ji Qi walked towards his door with a little anticipation.

As expected, the delivery man with a bright smile on his face took out a bunch of things from behind him after confirming that it was him.

Digital tablets, scanners, light tables, drawing paper and pencils, and a series of professional tools for drawing.

After thanking the delivery boy and taking all these things to the bedroom, Ji Qi nodded with satisfaction.

I bought it yesterday and it was delivered today. It's very efficient.

Of course, he didn't buy these tools because he suddenly wanted to learn painting, but because it was a reward from the system!

Comics mastery level 2.

Ji Qi spent a lot of time studying this skill yesterday.

The conclusion is that it is very useful.

He didn't have to waste a lot of time learning the basics, and he gained the skills and experience of someone who has been in this profession for many years.

The maximum level of this skill is three.

Proficiency can be increased through daily practice.

After making a comparison, his current level of comic drawing is probably equivalent to those ordinary cartoonists serialized in Jump. He is not yet at the level of masters like Hayao Miyazaki and Takehiko Inoue.

But this is already an exaggeration.

It is simply the greatest injustice to those who work hard.

But this is something he earned by sacrificing his life, so it can't be considered as getting something for nothing.

If he had a choice, Ji Qi would definitely not take this task and reward.

Shaking his head, Ji Qi focused all his attention on the brand new tools.

These cost him a lot of money.

It's a bit painful.

After arranging the tools according to the instructions, Ji Qi experimented with a drawing board and pencil.

Handy.

There is no need to think too much in your head, the pen in your hand will move automatically, as if it is an instinct developed over the years.

This made Ji Qi once again marvel at the power of the system.

Unfortunately, there are too many restrictions.

So, now that the basic work is done, what comics should we draw next?

The revenue and social status of comics are much greater than those of light novels.

Therefore, Ji Qi is still very motivated.

Not only is he short of money, he is also short of an identity that can impress others.

If a high school light novel writer isn't enough, how about adding a manga writer serialized in Jump?

Although she might still not be taken too seriously by a family like Yukinoshita's, but as a match for the second lady of the Yukinoshita family, there wouldn't be any big problems.

Ji Qi had this idea after meeting Yukinoshita Haruno last time.

Why did he still feel a little insecure and uncomfortable when facing Yukinoshita Haruno even though he knew everything?

What it all comes down to is that in this capitalist society, neither of us is as rich or has as much status as the other.

Identity creates gaps.

It has nothing to do with individuals, it is the general trend of society.

Once you enter society, you have to learn this.

Getting back to the topic, Ji Qi has thought carefully about the first comic.

First of all, the first thing that comes to mind is originality.

But after thinking carefully about the pros and cons, Ji Qi gave up the idea.

This is not a hobby like making games, where it doesn't matter whether you make money or not.

As for comics, they occupy an even more important position in Ji Qi's heart than novels.

Maybe it can be said that he is too utilitarian, and he will do whatever is helpful to his future life.

As for the love of Second Ape…

Can love generate electricity?

Another thing is that there is not enough time.

The benefits are not proportional to the investment.

Originality means investing a lot of energy and time to conceive the plot and character conflicts.

His main identity now is a student, and the most important thing for a student is his studies. I will consider writing original works after I finish two or three comics.

A good academic degree can add a lot of points in the eyes of parents.

Most importantly, the school is the biggest hub for him and the girls.

So, there is only one option left.

Which work should I copy?

To be on the safe side, Ji Qi checked everything again yesterday on the search engine and in reality.

Japan takes copyright very seriously.

If you are accidentally accused of being a plagiarist, it will be very difficult to make a comeback in the industry.

After selection, he picked two or three suitable works in total.

"One Piece", "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun", "Your Lie in April".

Maybe there are more suitable ones, but Ji Qi wanted to draw them, but he was powerless.

For the others, I either haven't seen them before or I can't remember the plot clearly.

Even though he is a time traveler, his memory is really not that good.

The buffs that time travelers have, such as good learning and memory, are absolutely deceptive.

Isn't it too difficult to ask him to remember in detail the plot of the comic book he read a few years ago?

I didn’t even bring much important learning with me, let alone these unimportant things.

These three comics are the ones that left a deep impression on me.

It would save him a lot of effort.

Especially the latter two, because of their short length and because he liked them very much and had read them many times before, he can now write a similar plot outline.

He also has the confidence to draw well.

Chapter 116 The Real Hidden

One Piece's words...

His memory only contained a vague worldview, characters, and a few climaxes.

The rest is all up to you to fill in.

But these days, if you want to be really popular, hot-blooded comics are the way to go.

What a headache.

After rummaging around on the cluttered computer desk for a while, Ji Qi found the "Weekly Shonen Jump" he bought at the convenience store yesterday.

If you want to submit comics, you must first understand the current market trends.

After quickly flipping through it, Ji Qi closed the book.

There is no doubt that eighty percent of Jump is hot-blooded comics.

The rest are of all types.

Ji Qi was painting carelessly on the drawing board with his paintbrush.
