Chapter 24 Entrapment, The Long-Awaited Commission, Reversing Heavenly Orders
"What's wrong?"
"No, no, Ziling studies very hard. Helping both of them together is definitely easier than teaching Chengwang alone."
"I think people should be more friendly to each other!"
"..."
Li Xixi has always had a clear sense of likes and dislikes.
She is not like Mu Ziling; she doesn't respond to things she genuinely refuses with silence, but rather expresses her refusal clearly.
Shanghai girls are not only known for their sweetness, but also for their "spoiled and pampered" nature.
Using this word to describe Li Xixi is clearly an exaggeration.
However, Cheng Wang was all too familiar with that undisguised disdain for those he disliked, a kind of "unruly" behavior that was almost ingrained in his bones. He had experienced it many times before.
Before the joint entrance exam, her relationship with Mu Ziling was already quite good; they shared many common interests, particularly regarding personality traits.
Hmm... I guess so?
From Cheng Wang's perspective, that's the prevailing impression.
Since I accepted the homeroom teacher's request...
Whether it was because of her own preference or because she was too embarrassed to admit it, she decided to take it seriously.
After changing seats during evening self-study, Li Xixi was still very patient in helping her sort out her questions.
"Chengwang, don't you dare laugh!"
They noticed the curious glances coming from behind them.
Li Xixi puffed out her cheeks, turned her head and pouted, looking just like a little hedgehog who was throwing a tantrum and curled up into a ball.
"no."
"I saw it perfectly clearly."
"Shall we go to the Sanlin Glasses Factory and get you a new pair of glasses?"
"Are you kidding me? Ziling, finish these questions first."
Li Xixi gently gave Mu Ziling instructions.
Then, with her eyebrows raised high, she turned around and snatched the test paper from Cheng Wang's desk without saying a word.
"If you get a lot of questions wrong on the simplest mock exam, I'll have to give you extra homework tonight."
Cheng Wang raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Li, you're the boss."
……
Before returning home, Cheng Wang had already completed most of his homework with Li Xixi's help.
Now we've reached the senior year of high school.
The teacher basically only assigns test papers; the rest is for reviewing and filling in gaps in knowledge, and students consolidate their learning on their own.
Even the best spinning top can't be forced to spin if you spin it to a certain extent.
unless.
The spinning top is called Top Esports (TES) —
This is a League of Legends esports club, known for its "international performance".
"Chengwang, Mom has to go to work. Heat up your food and eat it yourself."
With the joint entrance exam over, the family's right to protect Chengwang was revoked, and Chengwang no longer enjoyed special care; his parents had to return to their jobs.
Inside the deserted room.
Cheng Wang turned on his bedroom computer and logged into QQ.
Drop drop!
The message box popped up, and he casually clicked to view it.
Li Xixi's QQ name, "Panda Doesn't Eat Bamboo," came into view.
[hope: Don't be lazy when you get back. You got 6 out of the first 10 fill-in-the-blank math questions wrong, and they were all the easiest types.]
Several more pictures followed.
She presented the analysis process of the wrong questions in a simple way, recorded it on paper, took a picture and sent it to Cheng Wang.
[hope: Ask me any questions you don't understand right away. You absolutely cannot afford to lose points on this type of question. It's the most basic of the basics. If you encounter it on the exam, you could get three points for free!]
A strange warmth welled up in Cheng Wang's heart.
It's rare to see someone not being sarcastic; they're just typing away on the keyboard.
[Wang: Good.]
[hope: You went on QQ as soon as you got home! Hurry up and study!]
[Looking ahead: 6, and there's also the claim of entrapment.]
Li Xixi sent a "humph" emoji, the expression of which was exactly the same as her own.
The profile picture quickly turned gray, indicating that the user has logged off.
Although I am quite grateful for her encouragement.
But Cheng Wang didn't shut down the computer immediately. Instead, he opened the chat box for "Drink Less Iced Coke".
Sorry for the wait!
Even though less than a week had passed, he had been waiting for a long time to fulfill his promise to write the article.
[Wang: Are you online? Send me the article submission requirements.]
The other end of the screen replied almost instantly.
[Cola: Boss, I'm here! You finally have time! My file is quite large, please bear with me for a moment.]
Ok?
What kind of inappropriate language is this?
Shouldn't we wait a little while?
As it turned out, Cola wasn't exaggerating. Cheng Wang sat in front of the computer for several minutes and received a document that was a whopping 30 words long.
He was completely baffled at that moment.
[Wang: Are you sure you didn't send this to the wrong person?]
[Cola: No, this contains character biographies for eight characters, along with their individual backstories. Pretty detailed, right? I even wrote over a dozen lesser-known quirks and interests of each character!]
"..."
[Wang: How long did you write?]
[Cola: In less than half a month, I've managed to write tens of thousands of words in my spare time each day, hehe.]
No wonder they abandon such a lucrative way of making money by commissioning articles, offering shoddy prices and hiring shoddy workers.
However, so many professional illustrators have never been able to break into this circle.
Cheng Wang vaguely found an answer he had never imagined.
30 words in half a month... Why didn't the online novels I used to follow have this much update volume?
pity.
There is no AI assistance now, so the process is streamlined and refined.
Cheng Wang couldn't finish reading it quickly; Cola was generating so much love with such intensity.
He used a professional approach and asked the person who commissioned the article questions in return.
[Wang: Now give me a list that includes the character's name, gender, personality, and height as specified in the lore. Then give me a general description of the story's world and whether there are any specific references for the clothing style.]
[Cola: Let me think...]
Cheng Wang went straight to the point.
Based on his years of experience in the industry, he was able to find very typical characteristics in Coca-Cola.
The requirements are unclear, and the art style is not understood.
I have a general idea in my mind, but I can't accurately describe what the finished product I want will look like.
If such a draft cannot be agreed upon by both parties in the early stages of the project and have a written record as a basis, it is easy to get involved in all sorts of miscellaneous problems.
Unlike the outsourcing model where clients make arbitrary demands and you have to rack your brains to meet them.
Now, the initiative is in our hands.
High-level painting skills and highly professional speech are a sharp blade held tightly in the palm of one's hand.
Cola subconsciously believed that the person on the other end of the QQ chat was an industry expert who wished to remain anonymous.
Every question Cheng Wang raises has a reason; as long as you answer it accurately, you can get the painting you want.
Cheng Wang can also guide the process, allowing the cola itself to act as an AI function, filtering out useless information and establishing genuine needs.
This is not a wasted effort!
Countless colleagues have learned from painful lessons just how troublesome it can be, especially in the free market for manuscripts where there is a lack of legal contractual constraints, if the requirements are not clearly defined before a project is initiated.
He deeply understood one principle:
Customers may not know what they want.
But they must know what they don't want!
QQ messages continued to be exchanged.
Cheng Wang bombarded Cola with a series of questions, much like a strict teacher relentlessly pressing him on.
If it involves more technical aspects such as character movements and composition, Cola cannot explain it clearly.
Cheng Wang simply opened an overseas platform called Pixiv, which is the world's largest gathering place for artists, and searched for sample images to send out.
The interactive question-and-answer format transforms the cloze test into true/false and multiple-choice questions, saving time efficiently.
The essential.
Before this, Cola had never encountered an artist who considered everything so thoroughly.
Through an ever-increasing number of exclamation marks.
This clearly shows that her trust in Cheng Wang continued to rise throughout the Q&A session.
The relationship between commissioning articles and accepting articles.
At this moment, it was as if the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches had been reversed.
