Creation: Make figures and become a top boss

The first step in making a figure is to determine the character drawing. Even if you don’t actually draw it, you must at least have clear settings from the overall outline to the detailed design, so that you can control the overall situation and make it with care, eye and hand.

This era was obviously not friendly to women. In order to facilitate movement, the gender of the doll was male. In order to ensure the quality of the first production, Jinyan decided to make a familiar figure that she had made before. After running through the images of male characters that fit the resourceful temperament in her mind, she quickly decided on the candidate for her first puppet.

"The decision is yours, Pikachu!" Jinyan happily shouted out the declaration that the battle was about to start. She closed her eyes and recalled all the details again. When she opened her eyes, her temperament changed and she entered a poker face working state. With a slight sip and focused eyes, a large piece of clay was quickly divided into different sizes and shapes.

"I don't know what race there is here. To be on the safe side, the three-dimensionality of the facial contours will be slightly adjusted according to my own. The facial features and expressions will remain the same as before. The temperament cannot be wrong."

"Look at those soldiers' buns. The original hair length shouldn't be long enough. Let's just change it to a soldier's bun at the back of the head. Otherwise, I might not be able to style my hair properly if the shawl comes out."

"Clothes..." Jin Yan suddenly realized that she had never seen a man wearing ordinary clothes until now. "Then let's follow the style of women's clothing. This kind of robe with curved trains is originally available for both men and women. Try to Keep it simple, cross the collar, wide sleeves, add a corset, and add snow leopard elements to the edging on the collar and cuffs. The collar of the coat is lower and the length covers the feet. The collar of the underwear is higher. Just make it a half-length, and just make it pants. The most common thin leggings and shoes..."

The face is the most difficult to capture when making a figure, but the costume requires the most details and the workload. Fortunately, it only requires an upright posture, and no concave shape is required, so the posture is not easy to make mistakes.

In order not to show obvious flaws in the clothes and body like the soldiers standing guard at the door, Jinyan followed the steps given by the master and connected the head, limbs, hands and feet to the torso to make a complete body. Clothes, pants, shoes and socks are added layer by layer, trying to restore the natural state of clothing.

"Actually, it's okay not to make clothes. Just prepare the clothes for him to come out and put them on. Why do you have to do it so tiringly?"

Although Jinyan complained, the production was not lax at all. Not to mention the basic physical proportions, the folds of the clothes, the texture of the fabric, the density and direction of the hair, every imaginable detail was done as well as possible. Not only the nails on the hands It is round and neat, with sharp edges and corners. After applying the color, you can feel the blood flowing through the veins on the back of your hand.

"It's done!" Not even four hours later, Jin Yan let out a deep breath and wiped the non-existent sweat on her invisible forehead with her imaginary hand. There was still a sense of ritual.

"It's much easier than expected. It's really good news for handicapped people. Many places that rely on carving and kneading require precise control and repeated adjustments. As long as you can imagine the accurate final effect, you can basically complete it with just a thought." Jin Yan looked at the completed puppet work in front of her and reviewed the production process as she was used to, "But it feels more tiring than making it by hand. It should be because I used mental power instead of physical strength."

Thinking of this, Jin Yan summoned the display interface to take a look at the mental energy consumption. The previously 90% full ball of blue liquid only had a shallow layer at the bottom, which was probably less than 10% full. “Fortunately, I chose a familiar one, otherwise I might have to force shut down before I finished. "

"System, now that the puppet is finished, how can I grant the spirit?"

"Use your mental power to draw the child spirit beads into the puppet's body and merge with the formation. The host's current mental power is not enough to support the completion of the spiritual conferment. It is recommended to restore the spiritual power before trying to confer spiritual power."

"Okay, it seems that mental strength is an important basis for ensuring the efficiency of practice. Novice Task 100 has to be done even if you don't want to do it." Jin Yan felt a little sore in her muscles thinking about those sit-ups and push-ups, but in the direction of That Xingnao pill that can increase the speed of mental recovery, just feel sore. What is King Juan? King Juan is not afraid of getting tired. King Juan can squeeze out the last bit of physical strength in order to maximize efficiency!

"But my master is a bit unreliable. He only gives me a puppet and some skills, not to mention spiritual vision and spiritual guidance. If he didn't have a system, wouldn't he be doomed?"

"The instructions for using the spiritual power are written on the back of the technique. They have been destroyed. Do they need to be restored to display?"

Jin Yan choked on the system prompts and held a breath in her chest. She patted for a long time before following the instructions. "No, thank you. Please step back. If I don't tell you, don't come out." Everything else about this system is good, but the emotional intelligence is not very high. , it’s too mechanical, and it’s even burning. If you don’t know, just ask you directly and it’s over. You also remind me, I don’t want to lose face!

Jin Yan thought as she exited the Niwan Palace, "Huh? Speaking of burning paper, Master and I should communicate more. Can't burning the letter paper quickly restore mental strength?!"

Jin Yan hurriedly turned over the paper and pen, but as soon as she got the pen, she dropped it again, "Bah, my calligraphy is still at the elementary school level, and I can communicate with ghosts. Just do sit-ups."

Jinyan took off her outer robe and started a difficult fitness exercise.

As a frail and sick physical education teacher's disciple, Jinyan seldom does high-intensity exercise except to cope with physical examinations. These 100 sit-ups and push-ups were performed from groups of 20 to groups of 5, with intervals ranging from 1 minute to rest. 5 minutes, two hours of hard work, even the oil lamp on the table was burned out, and the task was finally completed.

Jin Yan only felt that the pain in her abdominal muscles (belly muscles?) and arms were no longer hers. Fortunately, her legs could still walk normally, otherwise she doubted that she would be able to lie down in bed tonight.

"Newbie Task 2 has been completed, do you want to receive the reward?"

"Yes! Receive it!" Finally reaping the fruits of her labor, Jin Yan cheered up and waited for the reward. She felt her brows heat up, her hands sank, and two pills lay quietly in her hands.

"Did it come out of the head again? After all, it's your brain that bears everything."

Jin Yan carefully looked at the two pill pills. One was harder and had a texture similar to that of a smoke pill. It was a translucent gray bead with white light flickering inside. There is also a softer one, dark and a little oily, similar to most traditional Chinese medicine balls.

"The gray one should be the Xingnao pill. Should I take this bodybuilding pill directly?"

"The Xingnao Pill can be activated by injecting spiritual power. After taking the Strengthening Pill, it will enter a dormant state to adjust body functions. Please pay attention to the timing of taking it."

Jin Yan followed the system's guidance and activated the Xingnao Pill by drawing spiritual power from the center of her eyebrows. Unlike smoke pills with wisps of green smoke floating out, Xingnao pills only emit a vague aroma.

Following the system prompts, she placed the Xingnao pill under her pillow, lay down and took the bodybuilding pill. Jinyan said good night to herself as usual, ending this earth-shaking day.
