August 17th, Tuesday.
The big hole in the living room hadn't been repaired yet.
Lu Ye held Ibu in his arms and looked at the hole that connected the upper and lower floors. He sighed.
"I'm so stupid, really … I only know how to prevent digging holes. I didn't expect Jenni Tortoise to be able to train in her dream …"
That was why Waveguide was such a practical ability.
Whether it was healing, detection, or even training, as long as there was a boost from Waveguide, the strength of the sprite could be described as rapid.
"It's already so strong now …" Lu Ye's expression changed slightly.
"If it really evolves into a Water Arrow Turtle, it'll be amazing!"
"Jenni! (* ω\ *) "
"I'm not praising you at all!"
Lu Ye shook his head helplessly. He held Ibu by the back of its neck and placed it on the sofa.
He went to the kitchen and prepared energy cubes for the three little guys as breakfast. Then, he drank a can of milk.
In this hot summer, only iced milk could comfort Mr. Lu's heart …
"Ghost Stone! Don't drink coke for breakfast! It's bad for your stomach … "Lu Ye's expression was strange.
"Wait, do you have a stomach?"
"Mouth Jie! (≧ * * *) ノ "
Ghost Stone opened the can of soda with a sizzling sound and moaned in satisfaction.
Today's arrangement was to meet the artist that the headhunting company introduced to Lu Ye.
The manager was waiting in the cafe in advance. When he saw Lu Ye coming, he respectfully handed over a resume and introduced,
"The artist that I'm introducing to you is an artist from the Aurora region … Her style is quite unique!"
"Aurora?" Lu Ye took the resume with some surprise.
"Isn't this place a little too far away from Shanghai?"
"Every artist has their own pursuits." The manager smiled.
"She also traveled to the Withered Leaf Harbor in Guandong to copy the sunset scene at the harbor."
The manager handed the resume to Lu Ye and said,
"She came to Donghuang as part work and part travel … I heard that she's also a trainer."
Lu Ye was slightly taken aback.
An artist from the Aurora region who was also a trainer …
Why did this sound so familiar?
Taking the resume and looking at the photo, Mr. Lu fell into deep thought.
The girl with chestnut-colored hair had a cold expression on her face. She carried a drawing board on her back. Her hair, dress, and even her face were stained with multicolored paint.
Jasmine …
Wasn't this name the captain in charge of Fairy Z in the Aurora region?
But in the anime, the captain was clearly an adult.
Looking at this loli who had just turned sixteen, her body had yet to develop …
Lu Ye looked up at the sky.
It seemed like the timeline of this world … was still before the sun and moon!
Wait a minute, since even the TV character has appeared …
Could it be that Old Zhi had just made his debut in this world?!
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment before he shrugged.
"It doesn't have much to do with me … My goal isn't to become a Pokémon Master!"
But no matter what, Jasmine's art skills were still reliable.
After all, in the anime "Aurora" three years later, Jasmine could be said to be the chief artist of the Aurora region.
If he could recruit her to join the studio, it would undoubtedly be a good deal.
"Her monthly salary … is it based on the number of original art pieces?" Lu Ye asked.
"About this, you can discuss it with her personally," the manager said apologetically.
"Her temper is very strange. We promised to help her find an employer … but in fact, she doesn't work for long in any of her jobs …"
"It's understandable for an artist to have a strange temper."
Lu Ye nodded.
"As long as she's doing well!"
Currently, the studio only had two programmers, Mr. Lu and Yuko Oda.
As for the secretary … Although he could borrow a real bird, it wouldn't be right for him to keep getting Rocket for free.
If he started a company in the future, he would have to pay more attention to the secretary …
Lu Ye stayed in the café until sunset. Then, he went to visit Jasmine according to the address given by the manager.
On the street, there was already a roadshow band adjusting the sound system. The little magnetic monsters were eager to give it a try. Groups of waves flew past under the sunset …
Lu Ye cursed in his mind.
In the past, when he played games, he hated bands like you the most. Each and every one of you was a "sturdy" little magnetic monster with electromagnetic waves!
With an Ibu on his head, Mr. Lu arrived at the port of Shanghai's Pujiang River.
The river and sand formed a golden delta. Long-winged Gulls flew past under the sunset. The white sails were faintly discernible …
In the distance was the Battle Tower in the East. The neon lights gradually lit up. It felt like deja vu from Monet's painting.
"No wonder she came here to sketch." Lu Ye touched his chin and murmured.
"Can I maintain this pose?"
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind him.
Lu Ye turned around. A little loli with chestnut-colored hair and paint on her face was using a paintbrush to test the X-ray effect.
"Please maintain this pose."
Jasmine's voice was calm and firm. "This image is very beautiful."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
I'm here to invite you, but you're treating me like a model?!
"I can give you a modeling fee!" Jasmine shouted.
Mr. Lu immediately put on a contemplative pose.
"Is this pose okay?"
Jasmine nodded quickly. Her brush flew on the drawing board. After a few strokes, she outlined the charm of the painting and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ye curiously moved closer to the drawing board. He touched his chin and commented.
"Hmm … I can't tell what this is."
Due to the genre of Impression Painting, he could only vaguely see a human figure and the Ibu on the figure's head.
"Cloth Yi?" Ibu also curiously poked its little head out.
Jasmine twisted her hair and whispered.
"It doesn't matter what I'm painting … As long as the relationship between the human and the elf is sincere, my brush can record it."
At this time, a hummingbird-like gadfly flew by and landed on Jasmine's narrow shoulder. It intimately rubbed her cheek.
"My name is Jasmine."
The slender girl reached out her hand. When she saw the paint on her hand, she shrunk back in embarrassment.
Lu Ye said, "I know. This time, I'm here to invite you to join our group."
Jasmine was slightly stunned. She said apologetically.
"Sorry … I'm already planning to return to Alola."
Lu Ye nodded understandingly.
The girl was petite and had just turned 16 years old … It was indeed difficult for her to wander abroad all the time.
Lu Ye smiled.
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree … Just pay me my modeling fee."
Jasmine was stunned.
"I … I don't have any money on me …"
"No money?!"
Lu Ye widened his eyes.
"Then why did you waste half an hour of my time!"
Perhaps Lu Ye shouted a little too loudly.
The girl looked up blankly. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
"I … I still need to save money to buy a ticket home."
Jasmine wiped her cheeks. The paint on her face was smeared all over. She sniffed hard. Her eyes were red.
"I … I've already missed several flights … I can only barely make ends meet by working!"
Lu Ye was slightly surprised. He looked at Jasmine carefully.
Her height barely reached Lu Ye's chest. Her chestnut hair was stained with paint. Her dress was also a cheap basic one. It was bleached white by the bleach powder and smeared messily …
Jasmine trembled like an innocent little animal. She wiped her eyes hard.
"At worst, I'll give this painting to you!" The little girl said hatefully.
Lu laoshi stroked his chin.
Why do I feel like I've really become the villain?
"Okay, I'm just kidding."
Lu Ye said helplessly.
"Anyway, the morning flight to Alola will be in three days … Why don't you take on another business?"
The little girl looked up blankly.
"Boo!" Ibu wagged its tail affectionately and showed a friendly smile.
Jasmine said in a trembling voice, "How much … per order?"
"Ten thousand yuan?"
Lu Ye hesitated. "More if it's not enough?"
After all, Jasmine was an artist of Alola in the future …
Although her level was still low, it would not be wrong to invest early.
This painting might be renamed to "Sunset – Mr. Lu" in the future. It could be hung in the art gallery for sale!
"As expected of me!" Lu Ye slapped his forehead.
No one else had such an economic brain!
"Ten … Ten thousand yuan?!"
The little girl sniffled. Her eyes were red. She said in a hateful voice.
"It's … It's not a lot!"
Your eyes almost turned into a V-shape just now!
"Okay, you can go back first."
Lu Ye said helplessly, "I'll buy you a ticket in three days. I promise you won't miss the flight."
Jasmine looked up blankly.
Although she could not trust outsiders easily, the relationship between this uncle and Ibu was enough to explain everything.
This uncle … is a good person!
Taking out the Pokeball, Jasmine released a Blue Emperor and hugged the pink-haired evil dog excitedly.
"That's great, Blue Emperor. We can go home!"
"Blue …"
Blue Emperor also whimpered. It lay on the ground and rolled around coquettishly.
"Good girl … We can finally eat lunch boxes …"
Jasmine caressed Blue Emperor's belly with tears in her eyes. She accidentally revealed her true feelings.
Lu Ye had a strange expression.
Although I know that artists are poor …
But they shouldn't be poor to this extent!
Is it really okay to hire an artist that no one wants as an artist?!
Lu Ye crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
"She can't be … so poor because her standard is not good enough, right?"
Ibu lay on Lu Ye's shoulder and looked at the coquettish Blue Emperor. She was inexplicably envious.
Sneaking a glance at Lu Ye's side profile, Ibu's face turned red. She snorted and turned her head to the side.
I don't want to act coquettishly with him!
But …
She stole another glance at Lu Ye's serious expression.
Ibu pulled down her ears and covered her hot cheeks.
Acting coquettishly once in a while …
It shouldn't be a problem, right?
