[Host, tell me how much seed funding your project needs. I've already invested. We're not really looking to make money, we just want to have our own US dollars!]
[That's absolutely brilliant! That's right, Kyushu needs its own US dollar, and we need to bring down its price. Streamer, it's all up to you!]
[I want to join, streamer! I can get the equipment. If you let me join, we'll split the profits 50/50!]
[What machine? A sewing machine? If you want to go in and operate the sewing machine, don't drag our anchor along!]
[Hahaha, this year's netizens are hilarious! With everyone's support, I'm sure our lives as a streamer will get better and better.]
...
The comment section of the live stream was incredibly lively, with everyone constantly making jokes and memes, and the number of fans was gradually increasing.
Xu Lu got a little excited and couldn't help but speak a bit more forcefully:
"Friends, we just talked about the moiré pattern on the portrait and the microprinting on the collar."
To make a US dollar look realistic, these small details must be accurately grasped, but to draw a US dollar with character, these alone are not enough.
Please note that the watermarks on the US dollars are a technique that was created during the papermaking process.
Ordinary players wouldn't even be able to get past this level. After all, someone who can research and create this kind of watermarked paper is probably not short of money..."
As Xu Lu explained the facts, the fans in the live stream, who had been getting carried away, gradually calmed down.
[Pshaw! I thought the streamer had already finished drawing it, and I was thinking of investing in it, but now I realize that US dollars are so hard to come by!]
【What do you think? If US dollars weren't so hard to come by, we might have bankrupted the Iron Eagle Kingdom, hahaha.】
[But now that the streamer says it, it really is very difficult to create that kind of watermark on US dollars, no wonder counterfeiters can't get away with it.]
[I always said the streamer was just drawing for fun; they can't possibly draw real American swords. We still have a long way to go before we can have our own beautiful swords from Kyushu!]
...
As the fanbase cooled down, the two officially verified accounts also went silent.
As Xu Lu drew, he calmly said:
"Watermarking is a major challenge when drawing on paper, but I won't tell you that you can actually create the watermark first, then place it in the middle, and press three sheets of paper together to achieve the same effect..."
[Holy crap! Streamer, what did you just say? Are you sure this isn't a trade secret that you can just blurt out?]
[I've got it! I've got it! Hahaha, this is definitely a hidden gem of a streamer, they even know this!]
[This host's life is getting more and more 'exciting' these days, even discussing 'exciting' art with us, amazing!]
[A truly top-tier human being! It's so hard not to fall in love with such an honest streamer. I'm a fan now!]
...
Seeing that netizens were about to "take off" again, Xu Lu quickly poured cold water on them, saying:
"Everyone, don't get excited yet. This only solves the watermark problem. Actually, the paper used for US dollars is also specific."
Have you ever heard of acid-free paper? It's something most people can't get their hands on, so even if your drawing of a US dollar bill is exactly the same as the original, the smell will still be different.
Before netizens could even feel disappointed, Xu Lu seemed to be muttering to himself:
"So, those discarded acid-free papers were used to make address books, should I tell you that too?"
The atmosphere in the live stream room was instantly ignited:
[Shocking! Latest industry insider news: The price of the US dollar is about to plummet starting tomorrow!]
[This streamer is really something else! Does he really think he can just say things like that? Streamer, check your private messages right now, let's talk privately.]
Count me in! Count me in!
[This is insane! Utterly insane! What are you all talking about? Aren't you afraid of being summoned for questioning?]
[Hongcheng Police: Ahem!]
[Hongcheng Anti-Fraud: Ahem!]
...
"Um, everyone, please calm down. We don't have any projects or gangs here, oh no, I mean teams!"
So please don't send me any private messages. Machines? I don't need any machines, not even gravure printing machines!
Upon seeing the two official accounts reappear, Xu Lu quickly explained:
"What? You also know color-changing ink technology and want to join us? Cough cough, no no no, I actually know this stuff too!"
But we're serious people, just drawing for fun, really just drawing for fun, so let's stop discussing the 'original feel'."
As Xu Lu began to explain in the live stream, netizens burst out laughing:
[If you ask me, if a streamer disappears one day, both the legitimate and criminal worlds could be potential suspects!]
I used to watch live streams with a smile, but after discovering how ruthless and manipulative the streamer is, I've gradually stopped laughing!
I just want to know how many official accounts, besides the two that are clearly visible, are secretly lurking in this live stream!
[Five thousand followers, three thousand undercover agents, hahaha, the main focus is on genuine companionship!]
[That's true. People with such a creative spirit as streamers deserve close attention!]
...
"Okay, thank you everyone for the gifts today, thank you all!"
Xu Lu suddenly looked up, smiled at the fans in the live stream, and said:
"That's all for today's live stream. If there's a chance, we'll continue tomorrow. Okay, that's it for today!"
Upon hearing this, the fans in the live stream were displeased:
