Chapter 239: Like Staying in a Painting
Since you have received money from others, you must do your job properly.
An expert should complete his work beautifully!
However, Lin Qingshan is very concerned about this. The most important thing is that he thought of a man in his previous life who was particularly suitable for drawing horror comics!
Speaking of horror comics, what is more suitable than Mr. Junji Ito!
"The Best of Junji Ito"!
That is really perfect!
Any short comic from it is very suitable.
However, after Lin Qingshan drew it later, he found that... the comic he drew was not particularly scary...
It was not terrible, but he felt that it was far from enough.
He has the ability of [Painting the Finishing Touch (Master)]. As long as he pours his emotions into the comics, anyone who sees the painting with emotions will be infected by the emotions.
But Lin Qingshan found that...
his horror short story seemed to have failed [Painting the Finishing Touch (Master)]...
or it didn't work at all.
Why is this?
But soon, he figured out why.
The reason lies with him.
[Drawing the Finishing Touch (Master)] This ability is to pour your own emotions into the comics when drawing, so that other people who see the comics can be infected by the emotions.
Pour sadness into it, and the people who see the comics will also feel sad.
Pour pain into it, and the people who see the comics will also feel pain.
And if you only pour a little sadness into it, the people who see the comics will only feel a little sadness in addition to their own sadness.
The same is true for fear.
Lin Qingshan wants his comics to make people feel fearful when they see them.
Then when he draws comics, he naturally has to pour his fear into it.
But...
The main reason why people feel fear is the same as why the dark demon in "Chainsaw Man" makes people afraid.
It's because of fear of the unknown.
Human fear is fear of the unknown.
Whether it's a horror comic or a horror movie, the reason why people are afraid is that no one knows what terrible things will happen in the next plot.
And when the horror really appears, the fear in people's hearts will instantly overwhelm people's reason.
But if you have watched a horror movie, and watch it for the second time, you will know exactly when ghosts and murderers will appear in it.
Then will you still be so scared?
No, at least not as scared as the first time.
Lin Qingshan is like this now. He has read the horror comics in his mind that he has read more than once in his previous life, and all the plots are under his control.
How can he feel fear about this?
Therefore, when Lin Qingshan draws comics, he cannot use the ability of [Drawing the Finishing Point (Master)] to pour a lot of fear into it.
Therefore, the ability of [Drawing the Finishing Point (Master)] seems to be invalid.
"This is not good."
Lin Qingshan said with some dissatisfaction, "The fans will be dissatisfied because they are not scared enough. I can't fool people like this. After all, Editor-in-Chief Yang has given me high hopes!"
So he must rely on the system to log in again!
First of all, of course, he wanted Lao Deng to give him another ability similar to [Drawing the Finishing Touch (Master)], but specialized in fear emotions.
Secondly, if he had to draw another comic again, and he had to take care of the serialization of "Chainsaw Man", the time required was not enough.
So this time he wanted Lao Deng to give him another ability to increase his drawing speed.
"The abilities related to increasing the drawing speed by at least twice are as follows: [Human Printer (Gold)], [Human Printing Machine (Platinum)], [Speed Star (Diamond)], please check in detail which ability you need."
"The abilities related to deepening the host's fear emotions into the painting are as follows: [Painting Hate (Platinum)], [Emotional Frenzy (Diamond)], [Drawing the Finishing Touch (Master)], [Living in the Painting (Master)], [Fear Supernova (Mystery)], please check in detail which ability you need."
The system directly listed many abilities in response to Lin Qingshan's requirements.
Lin Qingshan first checked the detailed effects of each ability.
[Humanoid Printer (Gold)], as the name implies, doubles his drawing speed. In fact, it was refreshed in the system mall before.
But he didn't redeem it at that time.
After all, he didn't have enough points at that time, and he felt that the ability of [Humanoid Printer (Gold)] was useless to him at that time.
He redeemed some items that he needed at that time.
[Humanoid Printer (Platinum)] As the name suggests, it is an advanced version of [Humanoid Printer (Gold)]. It doubles his drawing speed and increases the accuracy accordingly.
There will be no situation where the drawing speed is too fast and the quality of the painting decreases.
The last one [Speed Star (Diamond)], Lin Qingshan thought it was just an advanced version of [Humanoid Printer (Platinum)].
But he didn't expect...
"Can it increase the reaction speed by four times?"
Lin Qingshan said with a surprised look.
In fact, this is normal. If you only speed up the drawing speed but don’t speed up the reaction speed, then the reaction cannot keep up and you will not know what you are painting.
However, after [Speed Star (Diamond)], there is no higher level master level ability.
It seems that there is an upper limit to ability.
For example, the previous [Journalism King (Diamond)] shows that the value of the ability in journalism can only reach diamond level at most, and never has the ability above master.
The same goes for the improvement in painting speed. The fastest can only reach [Speed Star (Diamond)].
If he were to reach master-level abilities any faster, he would probably have super powers like Quicksilver in the Marvel movies.
And obviously, this world does not allow superpowers to appear.
But this way, Lin Qingshan no longer has to worry about it. At the same time, the points he has now and the abilities below diamonds can be purchased with his eyes closed.
In fact, he can also afford the master's ability.
Except for [Prophet Dream (Master)], which has an outrageous price of 3 million points, he can definitely afford most master-level abilities.
And he looked at the abilities listed in the system to inject fear into paintings.
[Drawing of Fear (Platinum)], you can actively draw a certain character or a certain plot in the painting to make people hate and fear.
This... to put it bluntly, this ability is not bad. It can create a character or a plot that makes people hate and fear them.
But that's all, it doesn't satisfy Lin Qingshan.
There was no need to look at the next [Finishing Touch (Master)], he looked at [Emotional Frenzy (Diamond)] and [Rusu Huazhong (Master)].
The ability of [Emotional Frenzy (Diamond)] is a weakened version of [The Finishing Touch (Master)]. It also requires Lin Qingshan to pour his emotions into it, but the effect is not as good as [The Finishing Touch (Master)].
It requires comic fans to have a deep feeling for the comics and the plot in order to resonate and be infected by Lin Qingshan's emotions from the comics.
Naturally, in the end, only [Rusu Huazhong (Master)] is left. After all, even if he sells that mysterious ability, he can't afford it now...
Lin Qingshan looked at the last option [Rusu Huazhong (Master)], and then slowly widened his eyes.
"Holy crap! The painting will give people a sense of reality and psychological suggestion. It will feel like the characters or monsters in the painting can run out at any time or follow you all the time? How ridiculous!"
he said in disbelief.
Although, as mentioned later in the introduction to this ability, psychological suggestion lasts for up to three days and then begins to weaken, lasting at least 12 hours.
But this... if you apply it to a horror comic, just imagine that you are looking at a comic that looks like a real scary ghost, and then after reading it, you feel that the character in the comic can run out or follow you at any time...
How do you think this feeling would feel?
Lin Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was a little scared to say so.
But... isn't this good!
It's exactly the ability he wants!
"Lao Deng, the mall doesn't have these abilities, right?"
However, Lin Qingshan is also very aware of the urinary nature of System Laoden. Here are several abilities listed, hum...
Absolutely not!
It would definitely be another lottery and a fusion enhancement.
Then by spending a lot of points, he can get the ability he wants.
Then, the system panel instantly switched to the system mall. However, what surprised Lin Qingshan was...
This time, he really had the ability he wanted, and it was [Rusu Huazhong (Master)], the ability he wanted most.
"Ah? Lao Deng, are you so kind this time?"
Lin Qingshan said in disbelief.
"It has nothing to do with the system. This is a product automatically refreshed by the mall."
The system responded coldly.
"Oh, am I so lucky?"
Lin Qingshan said with a smile.
But what he didn't notice was that a certain ability of his called [100% Lucky (Silver)] was just right...
Today is his natal day.
[Rusu Huazhong (Master)] The direct redemption of this ability requires 300,000 points. Lin Qingshan now has two million points, so it is easy to redeem it.
Then he spent an extra five hundred thousand points to buy some novel items and obtained the [Speed Star (Diamond)] ability through lottery and fusion enhancement.
[Future Market (Master)] bought him some future science products, and of course Lin Qingshan redeemed them without saying a word.
Among them, one could tell at a glance that they were future technologies [Simultaneous Translator], [AI Smart Butler Glasses] and [Digital Life Chip]. Lin Qingshan thought it was awesome when he saw it, so he bought it.
