Chapter 475 (2/2)

Because of this, she felt even more like consulting Lady Zhao on the matter. Su Li also felt that she had been bound to Lady Zhao by a red string of fate. Lady Zhao’s blessing was actually necessary for her work to flourish

Su Li’s heart skipped a beat. She just realized that things were not that simple. Everytime Lady Zhao caught sight of something, that work would always undergo unforeseen, major changes, and change that was not always for the better!

Even so, Su Li was far too kind for her own good. She quickly shrugged it off as sheer coincidence. It was her art that possessed mysterious power. Su Li placed her head down beneath the water of pride and self-compliments, and held it down until she no longer moved.

“A gaming company wants you to illustrate? Well, if it’s good money, and if they don’t seem to have any ulterior motives, take up the offer! Of course, you’d want their theme and genre to suit yours! Now that you are a top illustrator, it’s best to only accept illustration requests that suit your style as a basis.” Zhao Youyue was quoted as saying.

“As expected of Lady Zhao!” Su Li cheered. No matter the situation, she would quickly release an aura of joy and optimism, due to the non-stop praises of Lady Zhao. This had profoundly changed her, or she would never have thought of declining the offer.

The only thing that never changed one bit was that she would never give up on her illustration books. Illustration books did not earn as much as her comission-based work, but no one could take this hobby of hers away.

Su Li was now in a position to take up big offers, and acted aptly, but she would never turn down anything from Zhao Youyue. In her heart, Lady Zhao came before everything else.

Su Li started sharing more of the minor details of the game company and their commision. She thought that this would really enthuse Zhao Youyue, as it was, afterall, a game. Lady Zhao was so into games recently. If she introduced a new game to her, there was no reason that she would not be obsessed over it.

Su Li knew exactly how to press the Lady’s buttons. As expected, when Zhao Youyue heard that it was , she bolted upright and started pressing her for more details. She even asked if Su Li had received the complete conceptual character design for the game. This truly mattered to Zhao Youyue, as she wanted to know whether all her effort in the “Two Dimensional Gate” had any effect at all, turning inspiration into actual work.

“I do not have the character design and story information just yet; but, I do have a few names, such as Lee Xiye, Yan Qingmeng and a nameless girl whose name starts with a Su. It is very likely that this Su girl is the least important within the trio, as she did not have a name anyways. The previous two should be pretty important, especially this Lee Xiye guy. As a viewer of your live streams, I could tell that this God of the Sword is very important,” Su Li blurted based on her analysis of the characters.

“I’m not sure if that’s the case (Cough cough) Something feels fishy” Zhao Youyue mentions in a fumble.

“Eh?” Su Li was puzzled.

“Oh, I just think that this request is really worth taking. may not be the most popular game at the moment, but something tells me that it would get really big. Just accept the job and be the first official art illustrator for the game. When it becomes something huge in the future, your career would thank you!” Zhao Youyue suggested enthusiastically.
