Chapter 2 Desired Position: World Architect
Before traveling through time, Zhong Ming was an excellent painter and a "big touch" among the people. He once served as the main art in a core project of a first-class multinational game company. Later, after his fame became more and more famous, he simply set up his own studio.
Even if you just talk about drawing skills on the live broadcast platform, you can gain hundreds of thousands of popularity.
It can be said that in the gaming circle of previous lives, Zhong Ming was a senior industry insider with a unique art style and has also won unanimous praise from industry insiders and players for his many outstanding art works.
But there were unexpected events in the world. During a routine physical examination, Zhong Ming was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, and all kinds of treatments failed. He was bedridden under 30 years old. The doctor said that he had a lifespan of less than three months.
Zhong Ming was very unwilling to give up. He had such a high talent. The studio had just gotten on the right track, but he had to give up this world helplessly!
So he was still struggling and working hard, even in the hospital bed. But everything was futile, and the god of death still took his life ruthlessly.
But Zhong Ming never dreamed that he did not die, but possessed himself in the parallel world and lived again!
Zhong Ming still has the painting skills of his previous life, but he does not want to be a simple painter anymore. He hopes to create a huge interactive entertainment empire and become a giant in the cultural field.
But, you have to start with a small goal.
Although the technological level of this world is high, it is still impossible to complete it by one person whether it is making games or making movies.
Even in this world, resources all over the world are controlled by large companies, and the survival soil of independent games is very poor. There is no shortcut to achieving your grand goals. You can only take one step at a time and climb up firmly.
Zhong Ming’s first small goal is to complete this painting, pass the interview, and officially enter the industry.
Zhong Ming in his previous life had never used this kind of hand-painted board or pressure pen, but it would be fine if he adapted a little.
Although humans have been terrified of words and concepts such as "artificial intelligence" after the Intelligence Crisis, they cannot abandon their food, abolish all technology, and return to the Stone Age.
Humans have indeed put restrictions on certain technologies (such as artificial intelligence technology), but some technologies that can effectively facilitate people's lives are still developing rapidly.
For example, the hand-painted board that Zhong Ming has now is very different from the one he used in his previous life.
This hand-painted board is foldable and can be as big as an oil painting board when expanded. It also has excellent display of colors and details, which is much easier to use than the best hand-painted board in Zhong Ming's previous life.
Of course, this is not the best hand-painted board in the world, but it is also good. After all, this is a guy who eats, so it is vague.
Zhong Ming's painting skills are originally top-notch. Although he has changed his equipment, he can easily control it by getting a little familiar with it.
He also looked at the paintings of famous masters in this world stored on the hand-painted board, and his level seemed ordinary to him.
After all, the art of this world has been broken down due to war and has been backwards for decades.
Many pre-war artists' paintings can be sold at high prices in digital versions, because their pre-war artistic level is much higher than that in present.
However, many paintings are gone even digital versions.
"Huh, it's done."
An hour later, Zhong Ming put down the pressure pen and looked at the finished painting on the hand-painted board.
The painting now has actually been basically completed, and it is just the most critical part. The phantom of the character needs to be completed by Zhong Ming, so it doesn't take much time.
What's more, Zhong Ming has always been famous for his "fast" paintings. It takes an ordinary painter three days to give an original painting, and Zhong Ming can do it for half a day.
Zhong Ming, in his previous life, was a genius in painting and never encountered any setbacks. However, because of this, he now believes that being a top painter is no longer challenging or attractive.
He has set a bigger goal for himself!
Looking at this painting again, the artistic conception has completely changed.
In the overwhelming army of machinery, a stubborn and lonely human seemed small and insignificant. Maybe he would be ruthlessly run over by a torrent of steel in the next second; but he held the gun tightly in his hand, and his back showed indescribable firmness.
A lone hero, never regret it if he dies.
Without gorgeous colors and special postures, it can firmly grasp the viewer's sight, as if the back has a special magic.
Zhong Ming thought about it and gave the painting a name: "Resistance Army Soldiers".
Just like the finishing touch, this painting suddenly has a soul. The originally suffocating and desperate scene was completely reversed because of this back, turning into a fearless spirit of sacrifice and an unyielding heroism!
...
The moment the painting was named, several floating light effects suddenly appeared on the painting, floating into the bracelet worn by Zhong Ming’s left hand!
Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was dazzled.
The bracelet he wore was the basic model of this world, and it was actually the mobile phone from his previous life.
However, the bracelet uses holographic imaging technology, which is equivalent to breaking the limitations of mobile phone screens.
But Zhong Ming knew very well that the floating light effects just now were definitely not the functions of a bracelet or hand-painted board!
He quickly woke up the bracelet, and the bracelet immediately projected a holographic image in front of him, with three-dimensional icons arranged on it, which were some common applications.
But there is a new program at the edge of the holographic image, without a name, only a game icon that looks simple, exudes a faint light effect.
Zhong Ming clicked in and a window popped up.
The window is very simple, with only one line of numbers and one button [Release Lottery].
Those light effects are still floating, falling on the line of numbers. The original number "0" has become "70", and the [Rull draw] button has become available.
"What does this mean? Is these 70 points because I completed this painting?"
Zhong Ming tried to click the [Rull draw] button, and the number changed from "70" to "20", and then a very rough special effect flashed by, and a new icon appeared on the screen of the bracelet.
【Universal Searcher】
【Available times (1/1)】
[After using it, you can retrieve any desired information in your consciousness and present it in your field of view, and last for 15 minutes after use.]
Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment. He recalled carefully. Although the technology in this world is developed, there is no such thing!
In other words... As a time traveler, this is your golden finger, right?
"Haha, I only use gold fingers. Will I use this kind of thing?"
Zhong Ming didn't care at all, so he let this universal searcher eat dust in his bracelet.
Zhong Ming is not inflated. In his previous life, he did not have any golden fingers and was still called for the wind and rain in the art circle. Now he has come to a parallel world where the literary and artistic level has been broken and has been regressed for decades, so he doesn’t need golden fingers!
Zhong Ming was very sure that although he was interviewing for a position as a painter but a world architect, he was enough to be able to win!
Zhong Ming packed his resume with this work "Resistance Army Soldier" and sent it to the recruitment email address of Guangyi Interactive Entertainment, which he was about to go for an interview, and then waited for the interview notification.
Parallel worlds have a strong awareness of copyright protection. Guangyi Interactive Entertainment is a large company and it is impossible to plagiarize Zhong Ming's works.
