Four corners

Bai Hanxin picked up where she left off—so, how exactly can we create a suitable character image for a designer?

"After all, imagination alone will not produce any results without practice."

Yan Tianhua’s calm and orderly voice rang out, “Just follow your own steps one by one, combine them with your own characteristics, and do your best.”

"Furthermore, we can learn from others' experiences, but we must innovate independently and seek change. Just like the last sect competition, we shouldn't be too strict; we should adhere to the principle of moderation. As for other things, we must learn from the experience gained through learning."

Chi Wangyue then smiled leisurely, "My unique craftsmanship achieves its purpose from the very first glance that others see it."

Bai Hanxin asked with an indifferent expression, "I think I understand. In short, it means combining excellent examples with one's own ideas, and paying the price of practical activities in exchange for rewards."

"right."

However, the process was not smooth sailing; it was a tortuous one.

Gu Shuoxing rarely keeps a low profile, mainly because he spends most of his time acting as a mentor in the game's world.

He failed in handling the issue of buying and selling Space Beads by taking the first step: the initial investment.

Without economic strength based on material foundation, it is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of a certain point.

Gu Shuoxing frankly explained, "The cost of the space beads is too high. Besides, I already have new plans."

"Moreover, using the space bead would do more harm than good, and the point of balance is where the disadvantages and advantages clash,"

Gu Shuoxing revised his previous plan and proactively designed another solution: "This time, it's highly likely we won't need it."

Yan Tianhua looked at her second senior brother, who seemed completely at ease, and said, "Whatever the plan, as long as it suits you, it's fine."

Hearing this, Gu Shuoxing felt a sense of nostalgia for the past. After all, when he was young, Senior Brother Yan had given him a lot of inspirational quotes.

While Gu Shuoxing was wandering around, when he came to his senses, he coughed and gathered everyone together to share his plan: "I know Senior Brother Xu from Fufeng. He has a lot of experience in drawing talismans. He can draw basic talismans with ease. Compared to a bead, a talisman is more suitable for hiding. It can be done without being noticed for a while, and it can still achieve its purpose."

Also, I think he will agree.

He has always been good at striking a balance, while at the same time, he tries to maximize his own interests and hopes to see an even more spectacular performance.

Bai Hanxin moved closer to Gu Shuoxing and said lazily, "Just do your best and act within your capabilities. Also, we're behind you."

Xu Huai had a bad feeling for no reason that something bad might happen next. "His luck is getting worse and worse" was a very serious matter for him.

But Xu Huai didn't have time to think it over. The work at hand was right in front of him. He took a few deep breaths and thought to himself, "I can't easily abandon the things I've been working on!"

Going back to what she was saying, after Bai Hanxin finished reciting the precautions, she suddenly remembered something else.

Since the Xu senior brother that Gu Shuoxing mentioned earlier overlapped with someone in his own group, Bai Hanxin's curiosity was piqued, so he asked, "Is it the Xu Huai senior brother in Fufeng who swindled a young girl out of her entire family fortune?"

Xu Huai, far away at home, felt himself sneeze again.

I was sitting at home when trouble came down on me.

Bai Hanxin is incredibly adept at adding fuel to the fire, mainly because this matter is very popular on Danxin Peak, and everyone has a piece of gossip about it.

The source of this gossip was that young lady; it's said to have served as a reminder to all the young men and women of Danxin Peak.

When it came to the word "reminder," she mimicked the tone of the speaker, saying, "Love is like a ball of cotton with a bunch of time bombs hidden inside. One day, it will explode and leave you bloodied and bruised."

Gu Shuoxing replied, "...I haven't heard of this, really."

In Gu Shuoxing's eyes, Senior Brother Xu Huai was someone he met on Fu Peak. Although he was mysterious and talkative all the time, according to his observation, he was a pretty good person.

Bai Hanxin seemed to have thought of something else, "But I'm on your side, on Fu Feng's side, because I think the matter itself is unreasonable."

Chi Wangyue chimed in, agreeing, "Perhaps this is just a rumor."

Yan Tianhua rationally followed up, saying, "Rumors stop with the wise, and facts speak louder than words. We should go and see the truth, instead of just staying here and gossiping about others."

Chi Wangyue chimed in, "That's right!"

But speaking of facts, Bai Hanxin waved his hand, "However, this matter does exist on Danxin Peak. Even Xie Cuo, who doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, has heard of it. We can go and ask my junior brother Xie. He has the most and most free medicine boys around him."

Xie Cuo, a fellow disciple, said, "Don't mention it."

Chi Wangyue was curious and casually observed when he felt a gaze meet his. Gu Shuoxing was looking at something casually, but in that instant, the two of them talked for a long time.

"Do you want to go?" Gu asked.

"Can you?" Chi replied.

“Of course,” Gu Hui replied.

"Then let's set a time and go take a good look," Chi said.

"Okay," Gu concluded.

...

Yan Tianhua crossed out the original plan and remembered a new one: [Shi Qian].

As for Bai Hanxin, she has a lot of work to do, and the painting takes a lot of time and energy, so it can't be done in a short time.

Xiao Wangyue's "Illusion Play" focuses on a stunning and memorable scene. The scene setting needs to conform to folk traditions and contemporary trends, but it doesn't need to be too conventional. Creative elements are probably the most difficult to create, yet also the easiest.

Wang Yue imagined the place to be "casually decorated, then pulled into his fantasy world, mainly to test one's state of mind."

...

Being at the forefront of a storm is the best opportunity to temper one's character. Although it is easy to fall if one is not careful, the more danger there is, the more one gains.

Yan Tianhua looked at the people around her and suddenly wanted to say something, but after a moment's consideration, she kept it to herself.

"To achieve something unmatched by others, whether you are an old man who has been successful for many years, a person in a high position of power, or a young genius, in his view, whether it is making grand promises or other methods, the process is very important."

"What we are seeing now is not a request, but a stumbling block to our path in the face of even greater difficulties."

Everyone knows that it takes time and effort, but the key lies in one's own mindset.

But there's no need to worry too much about her temperament; that's how it is with Bai Hanxin.

"She has no shortage of Chinese medicine for alchemy. She has experimented with thousands of herbs and refined countless pill formulas. After becoming the best alchemist, she no longer cares about or pays too much attention to these unfounded things."

As the saying goes, even the most ruthless person has feelings.

Within a given timeframe, they all understood that the faster they finished, the better.

At this moment, although the four people had different ideas, they were on the same level and their views were not far off.

"How about it?" Yan Tianhua had already found the answer he wanted. He silently looked at the people around him and suddenly felt that this question was a bit too much to think about.

After all, the present is what matters.

"How can I get the system rewards for nothing?" Chi Wangyue pondered, but couldn't come up with a solution.

It seems we should wait for the right opportunity. Then he can come up with more excuses.

Bai Hanxin continued fiddling with it without stopping.

Gu Shuoxing got up and left first, followed by Bai Hanxin.

In the small bamboo house where the four people were, only the two of them remained for the time being. The wind came and rustled the bamboo leaves.

Using this as the axis, radius, and diameter, they'll do it well if they can, and if not, they'll just give up.

The system, Xiao Hu Li, heard a cheerful voice, rising and falling as it slowly said, "Can't do it? To hell with it. But if it's impossible a million times over, and you can't let go, then just abandon the game and start over."

"...Keep it up!" Hu Li thought for a moment and said something encouraging.

Xiao Wangyue made an "OK" gesture from afar, her eyes crinkling, looking remarkably different from her former host's depressed and gloomy demeanor.

Those who left first created another form of herd mentality, and those behind followed. Although their expressions varied, none of them seemed defeated by the difficulties.

"Hope rises like stars, accompanying progress and yet another so-called attempt."

"It's a fortune teller who's in a certain direction," the fortune teller suddenly said.

Two children nearby muttered, "Sigh~ What's this? The astrologist is talking to himself again, and it's broad daylight! It's one thing for him to be rambling on at night, but are we disturbing the peace? Will we get kicked out? No way!"

"We astrologers are the greatest diviners of this generation. Even a celestial lord would sing our praises. This can only mean that there really are ghosts in the world of cultivation!"

The astrological sign's eyes were gently covered by a thin, water-blue cloth, but her hair was pink and hung down to her waist. She didn't utter a single word while the two children around her were talking, but her actions were incredibly energetic.

First, he swayed his left hand slightly, then gave a soft, grassy punch to the "children's poem" with two buns on the left, and then suddenly gave the "children's book" with wolf tail hair on the right.

Neither of the two moves was light.

The two of them, of course, didn't lose face or look bruised, but they were still not happy to be criticized!

Tong Shi whimpered that she was in pain, while Tong Hua stared blankly at her with red eyes as she took action.

This astrologer was the first girl in history to be so free, possessing immense wealth, and devoted solely to the stars and moon.

"Hmph, don't gossip, I don't like listening to it."

A single, seemingly innocuous remark sparked discontent among the two children.

"You can plug your ears. Didn't Yunshan give you some earrings? Wearing them will let you experience selective hearing! Hehehe~" Tong Shi said with a grin.

"Get lost, don't bother me," Ke Zhixing casually dismissed him.

Tong Hua, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled Tong Shi to her side and covered his mouth with her hand.

"Stop talking~"

Ke Zhixing is an astrologer, specializing in prophecy and understanding destiny, but sometimes she gets speechless at the two little ones left behind by her teacher.

"Never mind, let's keep going."

Don't ask what happens next; the answer is always that you'll have to pay.

Upon hearing that they would have to pay, the two children became as quiet as quail eggs.

Ke Zhixing secretly smiled with pleasure. "Very good, come on, let me take you on your way~"

When Tong Shi was about to speak, Tong Hua made a "pay up" gesture and immediately stopped causing trouble.

They had no money, they were poor, and they were still children.

Ke Zhixing ignored him and left first.

The two behind them hurriedly went to chase after it.

Yan Tianhua and his team of four had a clear goal. They had completed about 80-90% of their previous plan. They then added some details and polished it a bit.

One task was missing from Yan Tianhua's task list.

[Key Memorable Scenes] (Versions omitted)

He took a deep breath as he looked at the three combinations that followed.

The so-called "illusion play" is also an unconventional form.

Since they had no one else, they became the roles they needed.

Chi Wangyue arranged the scene on his own, completely immersing himself in his thoughts and actions, just like another person.

Yan Tianhua knew he was going to make the arrangements on his own, so she didn't sit idly by. She accompanied Gu Shuoxing to Fufeng. Although things took a few twists and turns, they managed to drag Xu Huai into the mess.

On his way here, Xu Huai was cursing and swearing, but the two people in front of him remained unmoved. In the end, he looked at Gu Shuoxing helplessly, his eyes filled with seven parts helplessness and three parts indifference.

Gu Shuoxing was a generous person; he radiated joy when given the opportunity. He seemed oblivious to this and continued chatting with him.

Yan Tianhua stood to the side, wondering how Chi Wangyue had been doing these past few days.

Although the locations are all on Ruthless Peak, each scene is a separate place, while the four scenes are divided into four corners. They are separated without interruption and in no particular order.

They had looked at each other from a distance, exchanged glances, coming from the other side, a hundred meters apart.

Yan Tianhua represents Eastern American literature, Chi Wangyue evokes the image of autumn leaves falling in the south, Gu Shuoxing is a brilliant star in the west, and Bai Hanxin is a cold star reigning in the north.
