Chapter 1 Ruan Guangjian Immediately Stopped His Work and Began Creating the Original Line Art for Wind Bard Ruan

Since the general idea was already complete, various ideas quickly appeared and were seized by Ruan Guangjian.

The stylus quickly traced, and in just over two hours, the hero's line art was finished.

Although more specific refinement would take several more days, even a simple line art could show the hero's qualities. The feeling of elegance and freedom practically leaped off the page.

In the frontal view of the original artwork, Wind Bard Ruan was sitting in a bamboo forest, playing the flute. The huge writing brush and wine gourd were blown up by the surrounding wind, floating in the air.

The distant view of the picture was a landscape painting of high mountains and white clouds, which complemented the ancient Chinese wandering swordsman attire worn by Wind Bard Ruan.

Of course, to be precise, what Ruan was wearing was not standard wandering swordsman attire. Some characteristics of ancient literati robes were also added, giving the character both the refined elegance of a scholar and the heroic spirit of a wandering swordsman. The two qualities were perfectly combined.

Behind Ruan was the back of Modest, hinting at the friendly relationship between the two heroes.

Ruan Guangjian looked through it, slightly modified some details of the page layout, and then sent the line art to Min Jingchao.

When the official announcement of the solicitation results was made, this line art and the hero's settings would be released together.

...

Inside the Mo Yu Internet Cafe.

Pei Qian finished the last sip of coffee, then closed the lid of his notebook.

After another busy afternoon, the mind map of departmental relationships from before had been greatly improved.

However, there seemed to be a few too many lines. Pei Qian himself felt a little dizzy looking at it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I keep organizing it and reviewing it from time to time, it will definitely have an effect."

"As long as I successfully avoid one backstab, then this mind map will not have been made in vain."

Pei Qian uploaded the mind map, deleted the source file, and then handed the computer to the waiter to put away, preparing to go home.

As a result, he habitually opened the GOG forum on his phone to browse, and suddenly had a surprise.

His post was selected by the official team!

It seemed that only a little over twenty minutes had passed, and the players were already frantically building the thread, full of lemon envy.

Obviously, the adoption of two new heroes in a row made the players envious, jealous, and hateful, and at the same time, the enthusiasm for participation was unprecedentedly high.

Pei Qian was very happy. Min Jingchao had a good eye!

He could see that this hero's mechanics were good, and adopted it so quickly.

He just didn't know what kind of packaging he was planning to give this hero.

Pei Qian turned to the main text of the post and checked it carefully.

After reading the hero's name, story introduction, skill description, and the original artwork sketch, Pei Qian was silent.

Looking at the phone screen, he couldn't speak for a long time.

What a scam!

How could a happy wind man be related to Ruan Guangjian again!

And this Ruan Guangjian definitely had a lot of selfish motives, otherwise why would he draw this Wind Bard so handsome, while Sabie Hedgehog Modest was drawn as a comedic character!

Even more insane was that these two heroes were actually in the same frame in the Wind Bard's original artwork. The contrast was even more obvious!

Pei Qian could even imagine what kind of narcissistic expression Ruan Guangjian had on his face when he drew this original artwork.

Also, what was this "Ruan is Modest's best friend" all about?

Who is your best friend? Don't try to cozy up to me!

Pei Qian was speechless. This Ruan Guangjian was always able to cause spiritual damage to President Pei unintentionally, and for some reason, he could completely immunize himself from President Pei's revenge.

Could this be the legendary nemesis?

Pei Qian was very angry, but since the official team had already adopted it and the 5% skin revenue was already in hand, it didn't matter whether this hero was a happy wind man or a happy painter.

Closing the post, Pei Qian found that his account had received a private message.

The title was: "President Pei, thank you very much!"

Pei Qian: "?"

This seemed to be Min Jingchao's account.

He hurriedly clicked into the private message to check.

"President Pei, I understand your good intentions. Don't worry, Director Ruan and I will keep this hero's matter a secret for you. I will handle this matter according to the procedures for ordinary players."

"I know that 5% of the skin revenue is nothing to you. You care more about whether GOG can win in the long-term competition with IOI, and your friendship with Director Ruan..."

Seeing this, Pei Qian's heart sank.

Crap, what does this mean?

Could it be that the 5% revenue won't be given to me?!

I'm not interested in the latter two at all. If you dare not give me that 5% revenue, believe it or not, I'll immediately arrange for you to go to the African savanna to play with giraffes and try to compete with God!

He hurriedly continued to read.

"However, rules are rules. You proposed this design as a player, so you should naturally get this 5% revenue. I know you don't need it, but I still have to strictly follow the regulations and transfer these revenues to your account. Please don't mind."

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, and then fell into ecstasy.

Good, young man, you've broadened your path!

You're very perceptive!

Pei Qian almost asked Assistant Xin to call and book a one-way ticket to Africa.

But after seeing this paragraph, Pei Qian realized that he had misunderstood Min Jingchao.

Originally, Pei Qian wanted to investigate Min Jingchao's random brain supplementation of his ideas and packaging this hero as Ruan Guangjian, but now he completely didn't intend to investigate.

He didn't care what the hero was packaged as, as long as he got that 5%!

"Very good, as long as you, Min Jingchao, are still in the Tengda Games department for one day, I guarantee you prosperity and wealth, and I will definitely not eliminate you first! Even if you make money in the future, I will never blame you!"

After Pei Qian silently issued a life-saving iron certificate to Min Jingchao in his heart, he couldn't help but feel better and walked out humming a little tune.

Just as he reached the door, he happened to see Ruan Guangjian, tired from work, leaving the studio for a stroll.

Pei Qian smiled and nodded to Ruan Guangjian.

Ruan Guangjian also nodded in return.

Looking at President Pei's departing back, Ruan Guangjian couldn't help but ponder, "Judging from the time, President Pei should have already seen the line art of that original artwork, right?"

"So happy?"

"It's good to be able to use a painting to get President Pei out of the haze of "A Beautiful Tomorrow's" overseas failure!"

Ruan Guangjian also hummed a little tune and went for a walk.

May 11th, Wednesday.

Trust Fitness, Hantong University Branch.

"Goodbye, Coach Ya Ling!"

Several student-looking people waved goodbye to Li Ya Ling and left the Trust Fitness gym.

Li Ya Ling also smiled and waved to them. After everyone left, she returned to the gym.

After sitting down in the rest area, Li Ya Ling took out her phone and browsed the web.

"Coach Ya Ling has recently brought in many new students to the gym. You're practically holding up half of our gym, you're amazing!" another coach praised.

Li Ya Ling smiled and said modestly, "Coach Miao, you're joking again. I can't afford to hold up half the gym, it's just that everyone is being supportive."

Coach Miao casually took a banana from the snack area next to him and said while eating, "Coach Ya Ling is too modest. By the way, our gym seems to be expanding crazily recently. Coach Ya Ling is outstanding, so President Pei should arrange for you to be the manager of a gym, right?"

Li Ya Ling shook her head, "I'm not interested in being a manager. It's too troublesome to manage this and that as a manager."

"I just want to be an ordinary coach and teach others how to build muscle."

"Oh, the Cannes Film Festival seems to have opened today."

Coach Miao threw the banana peel into the trash can, "Cannes? Film Festival? Not interested. They're all foreign art films, what does it have to do with us?"

Li Ya Ling nodded, "Yes, I didn't pay attention to this before, but this year it seems that "A Beautiful Tomorrow" is also participating. I wonder if it can win any awards."

Coach Miao was still not very interested, "I don't think it will. Foreigners have their own logic for awarding prizes. The cultural differences are too big. We're going to their venue and racing according to their rules. We're restricted, what's the point?"

"Anyway, "A Beautiful Tomorrow" is also popular in China, which proves that it's a good film. Why bother to seek the recognition of foreigners?"

Li Ya Ling smiled, "What you said also makes sense, but what if? Good things are popular everywhere."

The two people's conversation ended here. Li Ya Ling stood up and stretched, preparing to take advantage of the fact that there were few people now to practice herself.

Just as she stood up, she saw the front desk girl stand up, "President Pei, you're here."

Li Ya Ling turned her head and saw President Pei leisurely walking in from the main entrance of the gym, looking around as if he was looking for something.

After seeing Li Ya Ling, Pei Qian's eyes lit up.

Found her!

"Coach Ya Ling, I have something to talk to you about."

Li Ya Ling was stunned, "President Pei, could it be that you want me to be the manager of a branch?"

Pei Qian almost laughed when he heard this.

What are you thinking?

You're a dangerous element, and you're still thinking about ruining another branch of mine?

Dream on!

Pei Qian shook his head, "No. Let's sit down and talk."

Li Ya Ling was a little confused when she heard that she wasn't going to be a branch manager.

What else could it be besides this?

The two people sat down in the rest area, and the front desk girl brought over two glasses of plain water.

Pei Qian took two sips, tasteless, and had to put it aside.

"Actually, I came here this time to ask you if you would be willing to accept a full-time coach position, responsible for the fitness training of ten players."

"I must explain that this is a very arduous task that requires very high-end professional knowledge to be competent. However, accordingly, I will also give you more generous compensation."

"As long as you agree to accept this task, you can mention to me all the conditions required during the training process, and I will do everything possible to satisfy you."

Li Ya Ling's eyes lit up as she listened.

It sounded like a very interesting and challenging job!
