Chapter 95: The Advancement Method for a Second Rank Painter!

"Thank you for your hard work." After the Psychic State ended, Sixin said to the blonde Young Girl.

"Inhale, exhale."

After several consecutive deep breaths, the blonde Young Girl's emotions gradually stabilized.

She looked at Sixin and bowed, saying, "I have troubled you as well."

Picking up the paper draft on the Painting Board, rolling it up, and putting it away, the blonde Young Girl looked at Yun Mu inside the painting room.

"You seem to have other guests," she said.

"I don't have anything urgent; you two can continue."

"If it's a private matter, I can leave now."

Hearing the blonde Young Girl's words, Yun Mu immediately stood up and said.

Just a moment ago, the instant the other party picked up the painting draft.

Her sharp eyes had seen the content on it.

On that draft, it seemed to depict a young girl being pressed to the ground by something; other than that, nothing else could be distinguished.

Because the content on that painting was extremely sloppy—calling it a Grass draft would be a stretch—and she had only seen it for an instant, it was truly difficult to distinguish what exactly was drawn.

But considering this was drawn by the other party while in a Psychic State, relying entirely on instinct, such sloppiness was understandable.

It was just unclear whether that blonde Young Girl could obtain any desired information from such a sloppy painting.

Yun Mu thought with some curiosity.

"No."

Upon hearing Yun Mu's words, the blonde Young Girl shook her head and said, "My business is already finished."

She turned to look at Sixin, bowed again, and said, "President Sixin, I have other matters, so I will take my leave now."

After the Young Girl finished speaking, she turned and left the painting room.

"Who was that?"

After the blonde Young Girl left, Yun Mu looked at Sixin with some curiosity and asked.

"She is a Transcendental from the Church, though she was previously a member of the Painter Association."

"The Church has been investigating the Dried Corpse Murder Case with the Guard Hall recently, but it seems there hasn't been much progress. She sought me out alone today, wanting to obtain some clues through psychic means."

Sixin explained to Yun Mu.

"A Transcendental from the Church who was previously a member of the Painter Association?" Yun Mu's expression was somewhat strange.

So she's a Transcendental who jumped ship from the Painter Association to the Church, huh? Good grief, when the investigation hits a wall and there are no clues, she comes to find Sixin for a psychic reading?

This feeling...

Why is it so similar to a plot where a wife elopes with a blond guy, and because the blond guy is in debt, she goes to the cuckold for help, and the cuckold actually agrees?

Alright, the gap is still quite large; the reason she used such an example was just because she had drawn quite a few NTR doujinshi, so it was an instinctive association.

First, let it be stated: she is a pure-love fan, not a cuckold enthusiast.

Drawing cuckoldry is just for a living.

Making money, after all, isn't shameful.

*Cough cough*, I've digressed.

"Is there something you need from me?"

After explaining the matter regarding the blonde Young Girl, Sixin looked at her and asked.

"It's like this." Yun Mu came back to her senses and stated her need to advance.

"You need to advance so soon?" Hearing her words, Sixin was clearly somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, telling you the method of advancement isn't impossible, after all, your situation is quite special."

"But as the President of the Painter Association, I must maintain basic fairness. How about this."

Sixin thought for a moment and proposed: "According to the normal procedure, to exchange for the advancement knowledge of a Second Rank 【Painter】, one needs to accumulate 1,200 contribution points."

"But considering your special situation, how about I let you buy it on credit? However, correspondingly, you will be deducted more contribution points."

"Let me think, how does the number 1,400 sound?"

"That's fine." Yun Mu agreed without hesitation.

1,400 contribution points, it wasn't that much.

She earned 50 contribution points for every lecture she gave; 1,400, she could pay off in 28 days of lecturing.

Furthermore, after becoming a Second Rank Painter, she could also attempt those missions with more generous rewards.

For example, clearing out monsters in the sewers...

*Cough cough*, in short, as long as she wanted to, paying off this amount of contribution wasn't difficult.

"By the way, does this contribution have interest?" She thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"Rest assured, it does not."

Sixin couldn't help but smile when he saw her appearance, saying, "The contributions of our association aren't such precious things; just consider the extra 200 as interest."

"Follow me."

The other party turned and walked out of the painting room, signaling for her to follow.

Looking at the situation, it seemed they were going to the attic?

"Is the advancement information for Transcendental professions also in the attic?" Yun Mu asked curiously, following behind Sixin.

"Of course, the attic is where important items are stored; no one can open it except with my President Card."

Sixin, walking in front, said.

He led Yun Mu into the attic, then took out a very new book from the same safe where he had retrieved the Tonggan Liquid last time.

Why say it was very new? Because it truly looked as if it had just been printed.

It made her involuntarily think of the new textbooks issued by the school every semester back when she was a student.

"This book cannot be taken outside; you must return it to me after you finish reading it here," Sixin said, handing the book to her.

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and if you forget later, you can review it repeatedly, but you cannot take it out of this attic."

"I understand the logic, but why is this book so new?" Yun Mu asked, taking the book and complaining.

"You're asking about this?" Sixin glanced at her strangely.

"Your focus is quite strange," he said.

"The previous batch of books was too old, and I felt it affected the reading experience, so I burned them all and replaced them with these newly printed ones."

"You are the first person to use it; how is it, isn't it very comfortable?"

Sixin said, looking very satisfied.

"Fine."

Forcing herself to suppress the desire to complain, Yun Mu opened this newly printed Supernatural book.

It contained explanations on how a Painter Apprentice advances to a Painter, as well as what kind of abilities one will have after becoming a Painter.

According to the book, a First Rank Painter Apprentice has a very weak impact on reality; aside from Supernatural Paintings that evoke Spirituality, they can basically only release small tricks like illusions.

When fighting enemies, the most lethal move is surprisingly only Mental Shock.

And after becoming a Second Rank Painter, the diversity of the Painter profession's abilities truly begins to manifest.

First, a Second Rank Painter can use the body tissues of other creatures as Painting materials to enhance the effects of their Painting.

For example, one can use frog legs to create a Painting that enhances jumping ability, or use fish as material to create a Painting that allows one to breathe underwater.

Besides this, a Painter can also perform Encapsulation of an item into a Painting, creating something similar to a card to carry on their person, which can be taken out at any time during critical moments.

However, take note: both Encapsulation and retrieving items consume Spirituality; the larger the volume of the item, the more Spirituality is consumed, and each Painting can only store one item.

And all of the above are just auxiliary abilities; the true core combat method of a Painter is actually

PS: I was hungry, so I made a late-night snack to eat; the update is a bit slow, please forgive me.

Once this book of mine makes money and I get paid, I can order takeout for my late-night snacks, yay!

Ahem, just kidding, there's no way I have that much money to eat takeout.

Sad.
