N-A-A Chapter 710: Showdown
Chapter 710: Showdown
He actually stayed by the side waiting for us. How polite.
[So there won't actually be any real villains in the event storyline?]
[He looks fierce, but he's actually quite gentle.]
[If it weren't for the NPC's personality, I'd really want to get one, provided it's a four-star one.]
"You draw so fast."
Paimon exclaimed.
"Don't underestimate my love for comics!"
Lai Shen said proudly.
Then his expression changed, and he continued to show a fierce look and said, "Come, let me see your comics."
"I'll go first, I'll go first!"
Paimon volunteered.
Then she took Lai Shen to look at the comics she drew.
After arriving at the place, Lai Shen waved his hand and asked Paimeng to come over to look at the comics he drew and exchange comments.
"..."
"..."
Both sides looked at the cartoons drawn by each other.
Paimon's eyes lit up, and he nodded faster and faster, even turning his body in the air from time to time to express his emotions.
But Lai Shen's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Based on their own morals, Ying, Iya and Jun Xinwu did not read the comics of the two, but they could see the expressions of both parties.
As soon as Ying saw the expressions of Paimon and Raishen, she felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Aaaaah, aaaah..."
(Sister Paimon is about to lose...)
Iya whispered beside him.
Jun Xinwu nodded and said, "It's obvious. The expressions on their faces are all over the place. The difference is immediately apparent."
Soon, both sides finished reading each other's comics.
Paimon looked at Laishen and said with admiration:
"The painting is really good, the images are detailed, the plot is interesting, and it even makes me feel like I'm there. I'm really looking forward to the follow-up development!"
Lai Shen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Thank you very much for your love. But..."
Lai Shen's expression changed, and he said without mercy: "Your comics are not up to standard!"
"Your comics are all about food. There's almost nothing else in them."
"The plot is too simple, lacking depth and ups and downs, and the characters are also very thin and have no three-dimensional sense at all."
"Also, the drawing skills need to be improved. The lines are not smooth enough, and the pictures are not refined enough. This kind of comic is not attractive at all!"
Paimon's originally excited expression froze instantly, the light in his eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, and muttered softly:
"Is it... is it really that bad..."
Lai Shen nodded: "It's just very bad."
[Mr. Guardian, are you an editor? ]
Now I understand why cartoonists don't want to see their editors. So this is the reason.
[The cartoonist deserves sympathy, but this has nothing to do with me as a comic reader. As long as I'm still alive, I'll keep drawing!]
【Readers and editors always stand on the same side! 】
Ying quickly stepped forward and patted Paimeng's shoulder, comforting him:
"After all, we've never drawn comics before, so having such shortcomings is to be expected, isn't it?"
Paimon felt a little better after listening to Ying's comfort, but still looked a little depressed.
Although the purpose of drawing comics is to win the duel with Raishin.
But most people would feel frustrated if their carefully crafted work was criticized as worthless.
Looking at Paimon's expression, Lai Shen softened his tone a little and said, "However, your love for food is fully reflected in the comics, which can be considered an advantage."
"Besides, when it comes to drawing, you'll always improve with practice."
Paimon nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice."
Lai Shen nodded slightly, then said, "But, is there a problem with me winning this round?"
Paimon shook his head: "No problem, I am convinced."
Paimon looked at Ying and said, "Ying, I'll ask you to avenge my previous shame for me from now on! I believe you will win."
The corner of Ying's mouth twitched: "I...I'll try my best."
Although she usually picks up things quickly, it was her first time drawing a comic and she encountered such an experienced contestant.
Ying really doesn't have enough confidence.
She walked up to Lai Shen and said, "It's me next."
After saying that, Ying brought Lai Shen to where she drew comics, while she walked to the place where Paimon had previously read comics.
Both sides began to read each other's comics seriously.
Ying looked at Lai Shen's comics, and she had to admit that the comics drawn by Lai Shen really made people feel like they were willing to admit defeat.
Anyone who has drawn comics themselves will feel the difference.
Soon, both sides finished reading each other's comics.
Lai Shen walked in front of Ying, his expression still serious.
"Your comics are just average," Lai Shen said bluntly.
"The composition and use of lines have a certain foundation, but lack unique highlights. In terms of plot, there is no particularly novel creativity, and the story development is relatively bland, which is difficult to leave a deep impression."
Ying felt a little disappointed after listening to Lai Shen's evaluation.
She now finally understood what Paimon had felt before.
It's really painful to have the flaws of a work you worked so hard on pointed out.
But she also knew that the other party was telling the truth.
After all, although she had learned from Albedo and had a certain foundation in painting, it was still her first time drawing comics, so it was understandable that she would receive such an evaluation.
Just when everyone thought that Lai Shen would judge Ying as the loser, Lai Shen suddenly changed his stance and said:
"However, there is a very warm feeling in your comics, which makes people feel your dedication to the characters."
He thought about it and said, "This round is not considered your loss."
"But you didn't win either."
"So what do you think of my comics?"
(Player perspective dialogue options:)
(1. Better than mine.)
(2. Not as good as mine.)
[Would anyone really have the nerve to choose #2?]
[Hint: If you drew well in the previous section, you can pass the level directly by choosing the second option.]
[One speedrunning tip every day.]
If you get a decent review here, even if you choose option 2, you still have to continue the story.
"Better than mine."
Ying voluntarily admitted defeat.
If you are not as skilled as others, you have to admit it.
Besides, according to her script, it is not recommended that she be the key to passing the level here, she has to do it.
Ying leaves the stage and Jun Xinwu comes on stage.
In the end, the result was a draw.
Both sides admitted that the other side painted better than him.
This results in a draw.
In fact, at this point, Lai Shen could directly declare that Ying and her group were the winners, after all, Jun Xinwu's painting was indeed good.
but……
Raishin glanced at Iya secretly.
Since none of the three have truly won, then we have to follow the script.
"And you, come on, let me see your comics."
Raishin gave Iga a gentle smile.
Seeing this, Paimeng said enviously:
"Am I the only one who gets scolded in such a harsh tone? Why is it that only Iga gets scolded like that? I'm cute too."
Jun Xinwu nodded and said:
"Yes, Paimon, you are indeed cute."
Paimeng was about to hold his head high when he heard Jun Xinwu say, "But comparing yourself with little Yiya is really a bit of a humiliation."
