Soul Painter

It's July.

　　Bostno enters the hot and humid rainy season.

　　 The local climate is similar to that of Lin'an in China.

　　 In mid-July, a heavy rain lasted for nearly a week.

Gao Fan and Anna moved their place of work into the city hall. At this time, Roda had officially taken over the post of mayor. After delivering a wonderful inaugural speech, they began to perform the administrative duties of the mayor. Supported by her, she sat on a chair in the city hall square on the day of taking office. Gao Fan painted a portrait for her personally and gave the sketch to her.

　　 This scene is very interesting in the reporter's lens.

　　 Especially the reporter's lens faithfully recorded the whole picture of the sketch:

Among the crowd of supporters, a woman stands on the podium, and the audience below the stage is described by dotted lines, while the Loda on the stage is also just a general form, not even a description of the face, but the overall picture is still available To describe it as'warm', a large number of lines are scattered and scattered, but each line is precise and powerful, like a huge bonfire formed by clusters of small flames, burning with joy and excitement, which not only expresses the liveliness and excitement of the audience Happy, it also conveys the pride and pride of the first Asian female mayor in the history of Bostno.

　　 "...It's like a fire, do I understand it correctly?" Roda couldn't put it down with this sketch, and couldn't imagine that it was ‘carefully’ drawn by Gao Fan in five minutes.

　　 "Very correct." Gao Fan can already communicate with Roda in English, "You are the center of the flame."

At this time, after the test of nearly 20,000 prime paintings-Gao Fan and Anna 20,000 each-the basic value of Gao Fan's "line" technique has reached 91 without accident, which is a substantial increase. At 6 o'clock, you need to know the skill value of 90 upwards, and increasing it is a lot of hard work.

After 　　 succeeded in breaking through the 90s in the basic value, this not only made the basic value of the ‘line’ technique unique among the three unadded items, it also allowed Gao Fan to acquire the magical technique of ‘hands-only familiarity’.

Although Roda could not stay for long at that time, Roda already admired Gao Fan's excellent skills. She firmly believed that "Bostonian" would become Bostno's spiritual symbol. She repeated this point repeatedly on various occasions, so she also made the city government high. Where to provide the greatest convenience.

　　 But after all, human will cannot influence heaven.

　　 For the heavy rain that occurred in July and lasted for a week and seemed to have no end, Gao Fan's work was greatly affected.

Due to heavy rain, the number of citizens who are guided by the city government as models every day dropped from nearly 400 to less than 200. So in one morning, Gao Fan and Anna completed their work. Now Gao Fan is in the city hall. He rested his chin with a paintbrush and stared at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze.

　　Anna closed her eyes. She was able to appreciate the wonders of the palace of inspiration. After months of training, she had gone from Gao Fan to show her to browse, and she became able to open it on her own initiative.

　　 And, Anna is trying to replicate this hall of thinking. Although it is only a few bits and pieces, she is indeed in the process of building another hall of inspiration. Gao Fan feels that this is a manifestation of Anna's in-depth mastery of the ‘world’ skills.

　　 "I have an idea...cough cough cough cough~"

　　 Gao Fan was halfway talking, and suddenly coughed.

　　 Cough and thinness.

　　 has almost become the impression of this oriental painter in the minds of Bostno people.

For each citizen to draw images, we must use the dual techniques of'distortion' and'world'. While improving a lot of skill values, Gao Fan's cough has become more and more serious. Fortunately, the humid seaside climate is good for his health. Help, but this time, he coughed very badly, and Anna woke up from the'meditation' and started stroking Gao Fan's back.

　　 In addition to these two characteristics, the Bostno people who are closer to Gao Fan, especially those customers in the bars he often go to, also know his other two characteristics.

The first one is the lack of sense of direction. Someone once found this painter who wanted to ask the police for help because he couldn’t find a home on another street at the back door of the bar, but he rented it. The apartment building is on the north side of the street corner, just across the intersection.

The second is that he will never get drunk. This painter does not seem to be sensitive to alcohol. He can guarantee a respectable sobriety under the attack of alcohol, and the more he drinks, the more his expression will show up. A kind of'a genius artist's unique observation ability, with a little bit of ridicule, more self-deprecation, and sharpness to the world', this sentence is described in the article by a female reporter of "World Painting".

Of course, for Gao Fan, even though he lost the right to get drunk by using Moose’s magic spell, when he felt that he drank too much, he couldn’t help but open his “distorted” vision to observe the world. , It made him feel very happy, like he was drunk.

　　 Now, Anna's touch gradually controlled Gao Fan's cough.

　　 "I have an idea~" Gao Fan's tone improved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also carried a kind of madness.

　　……

　　 That night.

　　 Bostno people passing by the painter's apartment.

　　 all noticed that the light on the first floor of the painter was turned on early, and today their work seemed to have ended exceptionally early.

　　 No one rushed to visit the two painters. Even the newsboys would be warned not to promote their newspapers and sweets. That would disturb the great creations of the two painters.

　　 The light on the first floor of the apartment ~www.readwn.com~ was on for a long time until late at night.

　　 In the imagination of the Bostno people, the painters are working hard. This kind of hard work is admirable.

　　 Actually, by the time of July, the creation of "Bostonman" had been going on for three months, and it had been accepted by the Bostno people.

Although the outside world regards it as'painting performance art', it is a'gimmick' rather than a'real artistic creation', because'a painting cannot hold 600,000 people', but the real Bostno people often say this Make a strong counterattack.

Bostno people would say: "The painter has completed one-third of their respectable work in the past 100 days, and the remaining two-thirds are just around the corner. Your stupid brain can’t understand the greatness of art. There is something to come to Bostno. Will immerse your head in sour beer to make you sober! ’

　　 The popularity of topics related to the creation of "Bostonman" on social platforms has always been high, and several major TV stations have also followed the hot spots and carried out continuous news reports on this.

Now on social platforms, the voting rate for this'unbelievable','full of unknown' and'doubtful' masterpiece is still very low. It accounts for 10%, and it may be voted by Bostno people.

　　 And tonight.

When some Bostno people used to communicate with others on the Internet about "Do you know art or not sour beer soaking is good for your brain" and other topics, in the middle of the night, some people suddenly appeared in their minds. Enlightenment:

　　‘Even if it rains heavily tomorrow, you have to go to the city hall...’
