Everyday heroes

Chapter 12

"Guan Lang, I remember you said before, is your usual part-time job drawing illustrations for others?"

When class was about to end, Gao Qianhe who was sitting next to him suddenly asked.

"Well, but I usually only take an order every one or two weeks." Guan Lang turned his head and looked over.

"Then have you heard of vtuber?" Gao Qianhe glanced at the old professor who was speaking happily on the stage, and asked in a low voice.

"I know, virtual anchor, why, you want to drag me into a pit?" Guan Lang, as a well-known two-dimensional freelance artist, usually knows the direction of the wind in the circle.

A virtual anchor is an anchor who uses a virtual image to contribute to video sites. It first became popular on Youtube, and in the past year, it has gradually become popular in China. It is very popular on Two-dimensional platforms such as Bilibili.

However, most of the popular vtubers on station B are virtual anchors stationed by RB. RB has laid a solid foundation in the animation industry with many years of development, and the voice actor industry has flourished under the drive of the animation industry, so vtubers are also thriving.

In contrast, the virtual anchors born in China are very weak.

Guan Lang didn't care about the inside story, he just knew a little bit about the market due to work reasons.

"No, I'm just asking for someone else, can you accept the illustration list for the virtual anchor Lihui?"

"Of course I will. Last month, I drew a live2D model portrait for a Two-dimensional anchor of Douyu." Guan Lang replied, and immediately remembered something and added: "However, the person who asked you to inquire, You don’t want to ask me to paint at a student’s price of tens or hundreds of sheets?”

Guan Lang is also quite well-known in the illustration circle. Although he is not comparable to many great painters, he is also a high-quality painter. He usually uploads good illustrations on sites such as P stations, domestic half-dimensional, LOFTER, and Weibo. The works have accumulated a certain number of fans.

He usually charges according to the workload of the order. If it is an illustration that needs to be drawn for a day, the general fee is 1000 to [-] yuan. It was a good painting, and the fee was only a few dozen or one hundred yuan, but Guan Lang didn't want to be taken advantage of by the person Gao Qianhe introduced. He usually just picked up an order in his mailbox and it was [-] yuan.

"Probably not. She found out that I knew the artist Aria, so she came to me to help introduce her. She is a junior sister from an art academy, and she seems to be your little fan." Gao Qianhe was not sure.

"Well, please give me her WeChat, and I'll ask for the details." Guan Lang nodded. He spent a lot of money during this period, and it's time to replenish the small treasury.

And compared to the orders received on the Internet, the risk of being repudiated in reality is smaller.

"Well, well, I sent it to you."

Guan Lang sent a friend request, and left a message stating the identity of his artist Aria.

It didn't take long for the friend request to be approved.

The other party's profile picture is a cute golden retriever, and his nickname is Xiaotang.

Before Guan Lang could speak, the other party impatiently sent a message.

"Aria, I'm your little fan! I've always liked your works! Especially the illustrations of Yujie-type characters, and I also like the Fujiwara secretary you drew two weeks ago, super cute! I didn't expect so much Coincidentally, Da Da is actually a senior!" Followed by an ecstatic expression.

Guan Lang was intimidated by the enthusiasm of the other party when he came up with a series of conversations. No wonder Gao Qianhe introduced that she was a fan of Guan Lang.

But most of his paintings are two-dimensional beautiful girls, will there be girls who like them?And became his personal fan?Don't girls prefer those painters' wives who draw beautiful men?
"Hello, primary school girl, thank you for supporting me." Guan Lang replied politely even though he didn't understand why the other party liked Two-dimensional beautiful girl illustrations as a girl.

But now the time is not suitable, and it is not suitable to chat more, so Guan Lang apologized and sent a message: "Sorry, I am in class now, can we talk later?"

"Hmm, good QAQ"

Guan Lang put down his phone, and shook his head feeling a little emotional about the impermanence of the world. He didn't expect that he would have a female fan, but the other party was so enthusiastic, and it didn't seem like he was pretending. It's just that he was embarrassed when negotiating the price. The price has been raised, after all, the other party is his fan, and also has the friendship of the same school.

Guan Lang sighed silently, and made up his mind that as long as the price was decent, he would take it at a slightly lower price, and if he suffered a small loss, he would treat it as a reward for the support of his classmates' fans.

After class, I returned to the apartment after eating in the cafeteria. Not long after I sat down, there was a ding-dong on WeChat.

Guan Lang saw that it was the message from the elementary school girl just now.

"Hey, have you finished your meal, senior?" Followed by a sand sculpture expression of a seabird stretching out a leg on the beach.

Guan Lang complained silently in his heart, it seems that the painting style of this elementary school girl from the art department is a bit different, like to use sand sculpture emoticons?
It completely overturned his previous impression of art students. In his stereotype, art students are a group of people with weird looks, cold temperament, and people who can't chat with ordinary people.

"Just finished eating, how about you?" Guan Lang replied casually.

"I'm eating at a restaurant outside. I ate pork stuffed dumplings, which are super delicious! There is also wet fried beef river. This store puts a lot of sand tea sauce, which is also delicious! Oh, yes, senior Have you ever eaten at this restaurant, Big Brother Fried Noodles?"

Big Brother Fried Noodles?Isn't that on the food street not far from Guanlang Tower?
"I've eaten it, and the taste is okay, but the oil is a bit too much, and it's easy to get greasy after eating too much." Guan Lang thought for a while but still didn't tell her that the fried noodle shop was not far from his apartment building.

"QuQ, doesn't fried noodles taste better with more oil? Originally, I wanted to invite my senior over to eat together [grievance]. Does the senior have any restaurant recommendations?"

Guan Lang really wants to say that it is better not to chat on WeChat while eating, after all, you need to use both hands to type, so you have to eat when you eat, but it is not very polite to interrupt others like this, and he doesn't like to lecture others. So we still chatted with each other.

Before he knew it, Guan Lang was picked up by the other party to chat. From the recommended restaurants to what kind of dishes he likes to eat, and to the issue of diet and health, the two chatted in a long-winded circle.

"Didn't you say you can't eat apples at night?"

"Huh? Who did you hear that from?"

"I saw in the circle of friends that eating apples in the morning is gold, eating them at noon is silver, and eating them at night is arsenic. I am so scared that I dare not eat apples at night TAT"

"It must be fake, you are a bit silly to believe it."

"ovo, there are still people cheating in the circle of friends, it's too bad."

After chatting for a long time, Guan Lang suddenly realized that he originally planned to ask the other party about Lihui's illustration design requirements?Why have we been talking nonsense for so long.
