Chapter 127 - Money is Not My Problem (1/2)

When the [Illustrator] task was completed and +1 drawing skills were awarded, Meng Fan began calculating his original drawing skills or base attribute. It was around 6 to 7.

To Meng Fan, the technical value of the attribute set a 6 as above average, and 10 or more to be master tier proficiency.

Since the [Illustrator] task was triggered, Meng Fan had completed over 900 illustrations. It would be absurd if his drawing skills didn’t improve during this period. It was not excessive to say that he gained one or two points.

The editor from the Penguin Animation Network had previously said Meng Fan’s drawing skills were the best in the industry. This made sense according to Meng fan’s “attribute calculations”.

Now with another +3, there wouldn’t be many people, if any, in all of China who surpassed him in drawing skills alone.

Set design +3, scriptwriting +3.

For the former, Meng Fan was able to use the same formula of deduction to figure out his existing value. After all, he was already very proficient in set design.

After researching so much information in this category and even building his own reference library, Meng Fan developed his own style in terms of characters, scenery, and styles. It was definitely up to professional standards. In some cases, he could even be considered the best in the industry.

Meng Fan concluded that his original set design ability hovered around 8 to 9, which was much higher than his base drawing skills.

And the newly gained +3 points would truly make him a master!

As for scriptwriting, Meng Fan was not able to deduct any data.

It wasn’t that he had zero foundation for scriptwriting, but if he did, it was average at best.

Of course, these so-called data derivations were only carried out within the categories he was familiar with. Aside from site design and drawing skills, there was nothing else he could deduce.

However, after seeing the script Xing Ta Ge had written, he felt that his world-building felt more fluid, and his imagination was much more clear.

Putting down “Guide to Campus RoMANce”, he went back to reading the beginning of “There’s A Spirit Underground”. Very quickly, Meng Fan was able to make a preliminary adaptation of the book in the form of a script.

The original plot for “There’s a Spirit Underground” was already very well thought out, plus it had very vivid depictions and scenes, so Meng Fan found it effortless to adapt it into a script with his newly gained +3 scriptwriting skills.

After taking a look at the finished product, he felt very satisfied.

Carefully, he explored his new attributes and combined them with his existing skills. Meng Fan felt that the Penguin Animation Network editor’s advice had been very reasonable. With his current skills, he was most suited for adaptations. He had the ability to create a manga on his own, but it would not be extraordinary in the least.

And he already promised Mr. Sleepy. Meng Fan thought that he should still make accumulating experience his priority as he was still in school.

Creating a manga was a lifelong process. It was not practical to enter the industry in one leap and compete with the big shots.

So he sent a voice message to Mr. Sleepy.

Through their interaction, Mr. Sleepy had stated that he wanted to participate in the adaptation as well. Based on the contents of his novel, Meng Fan could basically confirm that Mr. Sleepy was a manga enthusiast as well, and a person who could share his outlooks on animations. Hence, he asked to be part of the adaptation. Meng Fan didn’t regard him as a stranger to the task.

The two of them chatted for over an hour before Mr. Sleepy sent Meng Fan the textual script he had previously prepared and continued the discussion.

He had planned on finding a scriptwriter, but that wasn’t necessary now that the task had been taken over by the two of them.
