A strange world

Chapter 1228 Section 150. New Inventions

Annan used the names of Tom and Jerry from the original book. After all, they couldn't be called Lily and Jerry. Lily was the king of cats in Liberty City. If the cats knew that their leader was a cat that couldn't even catch mice, how much psychological damage would they suffer.

Jerry happened to correspond to the name of Maria's younger brother.

"How is our brother Jerry doing recently?" Annan asked indirectly.

Maria was immune to Annan's intimate words from time to time: "I don't know, either he died somewhere, or was eaten by the gray-haired mouse, or was caught for breeding..."

"You don't say anything nice." Annan complained.

"This is the fate of the rat people. Most of them don't live past the age of three."

Annan was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you willing to let your brother come to Liberty City?"

"I'm afraid he won't."

"Why?"

Maria said poetically, "There is a kind of bird that can't be caged. Each of its wings is covered with the glory of freedom."

"You mean it doesn't want to leave the rat nest?"

"Yes."

Annan felt sorry. After all, Jerry was a champion rat. If he was brought here, Liberty City would have its own rat army.

In the end, Annan didn't change Jerry's name, which was considered a favor to Maria - she didn't care about her brother as much as she seemed, but as a Stuhn rat, she did abandon most of the useless emotions.

Although there are at least 10 million "Jerry" rats among the rats... and no one would associate a lively and cute rat with a champion rat who kills people like crazy.

In addition, Annan also wrote Maria and Gale's names in the consultant column of "Tom and Jerry".

With this identity, the Stuhn rats would have to think twice before they wanted to move them.

New World Pictures, room on the second floor.

Annan, Yoram Gwizti, the drawing board man and two mouse consultants gathered to discuss the plot of Tom and Jerry.

At first, Annan was worried that Yoram Gwizti would not be able to accept it - but artists seem to have a strong ability to accept it.

The old musician jumped and jumped excitedly like a child, exclaiming: "It's simply art!"

The plot of Tom and Jerry is very simple, that is, there is no plot: every episode is Tom trying to catch Jerry for various reasons, and Tom fails after a ridiculous struggle. Even if there are occasional episodes where the two sides reconcile or cooperate, the new episode will continue to fight.

This is the fastest time Annan has written a script, but there is still a problem... how to distribute it.

Let people sit in the theater to watch Tom and Jerry for two hours? It's not impossible, but animation with more than ten minutes per episode is obviously not suitable for theaters.

Annan handed Maria the script with only a few pages, which was enough for them to draw ten episodes.

"I'll find a way, you guys work together to shoot the animation first."

Watching the drawing board man draw the familiar image on paper, Annan quietly walked out of New World Pictures.

A way... he did have one.

That is to change the projection into a small projection with a fixed size, reduce the cost of the magic stone, and increase the number of times the magic stone can be used...but wouldn't this be a dish of vinegar dumplings?

But sooner or later it will be done, why not try it first?

Annan came to the mushroom house again.

Standing in front of the two and a half mushroom houses side by side, Annan felt a little guilty for some reason, and wandered for a long time before walking in.

When he came to Michael's alchemy room, Michael, who was informed by the apprentice in advance that Annan was coming, stood in front of the alchemy table with his back to the door, and sighed without looking back: "Give me ten minutes."

"No hurry, no hurry..."

The Lord of Free City, the Champion Warlock, and the beloved lord Annan said with a sneer.

About eight minutes later, the alchemy table exploded with a purple smoke.

"Failed again..."

Michael shook his head, dumped the waste into the waste bucket beside him, and looked back at Annan: "What do you want me to do?"

Annan said the words he had sorted out: "I want a low-cost magic stone that can be used permanently."

"Annan..." Michael sighed.

"What?"

"Why don't you go to the Temple of the Gods if you want to make a wish?"

"Don't worry, I think it is possible..." Annan said quickly: "First of all, it must be used permanently, but it doesn't have to be permanent. We can make it automatically recover energy by engraving runes on the magic stone..."

"The alchemy manual said that the magic stone is a stable and difficult-to-change infrastructure."

"Then we will help it recover energy through a magic base."

"The alchemy manual also said that the stability of the magic stone is internally self-consistent, and any magic power from the outside world may destroy its stability."

This world is so cruel to illiterate people!

Fortunately, Annan was the lord, so he just made a request: "Then we don't need the magic stone! All we need is a 'magic prop' that can reflect images, right? It can be anything, magic wood, magic iron, magic Martin——"

"I only have one request, which is to be able to project magic images and to be able to restore energy repeatedly."

"These are two requests."

"Uh..."

Michael thought for a while: "I can try... I'll write a list and send the materials over."

"Okay, I'll send you a hundred sets first!"

Seeing that the distribution media for "Tom and Jerry" had been settled, and a new way to make money had been discovered, Annan's excitement was visible to the naked eye.

Especially after only three days, ten episodes of "Tom and Jerry" were completed.

It took the drawing board man one hour to finish drawing Tom and Jerry, and the remaining seventy-one hours were spent by Yoram Gvezti, who commissioned the wizard to cast a stimulant spell on him and stayed up for three days to finish the soundtrack.

"Thank you for your hard work..."

Annan was deeply moved and even wanted to return the 350 gold nars: "Hurry up and send Mr. Yoram Gvezti back to his room to rest."

After sending the musician away, Annan stood up, drew the curtains, took the magic stone from Maria, and chose to activate it.

[Thump, th ... "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Annan took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, just... it's like I remembered my childhood. You did a great job."

Annan stood up and put away the magic stone.

Before handing "Tom and Jerry" to the rat elder, Anan wanted to invite a group of special audiences to watch the premiere.

...

Later that day, the children from the orphanage came to the theater under the guidance of the nuns.

The children looked around, but Cathy, who was sitting next to Anan, was very honest. She just kept putting her little hand against Anan's hand to compare the size.

As the lights dimmed, the children's voices gradually became smaller.
