Chapter 416 Yang Yan Who Can Draw
Just as Lu Youyou was hesitating, Wei Tianning sent another message.
[Wei Tianning: Sister You, my request is actually very simple: let's have our two gangs cooperate and overcome this challenge together. Difficult times are coming.]
Lu Youyou's focus was on the last sentence Wei Tianning said.
[Lu Youyou: What do you know?]
[Wei Tianning: The monsters in the mist have become stronger. I used to be able to kill them with one strike, but now it takes several strikes. This is no longer a small-scale battle.]
It's as if what happened before was just minor squabbles...
Lu Youyou complained inwardly.
[Wei Tianning: So, how about we collaborate?]
The more urgent Wei Tianning's urgency, the more uneasy Lu Youyou became.
She didn't want to cooperate with Wei Tianning.
Although there was no evidence to suggest that Wei Tianning was a bad person, the thought of cooperating with him gave her goosebumps.
[Lu Youyou: If the difficult times you speak of truly arrive, our two gangs alone certainly won't be able to defeat them; it will require the cooperation of all humankind.]
Lu Youyou politely declined Wei Tianning's request for cooperation, deciding to follow her intuition.
[Wei Tianning: As expected of a woman who built her gang to number one, I truly admire you. Since you're unwilling to cooperate, I won't force you. Transactions between our two gangs can still proceed normally, right?]
Whether it was just polite talk or not, Lu Youyou gave the other party a positive answer.
She didn't want to break ties with Wei Tianning unless absolutely necessary.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she was afraid of the unknown consequences that Wei Tianning might bring.
In the rankings, Wei Tianning's shop suddenly became number one, and his gang's ranking was second only to himself in the entire region.
If he were that powerful, everyone should have heard of him by now, but Lu Youyou was certain that this was the first time she had ever heard of his name.
Even before Wei Tianning took the initiative to contact her, she didn't know that Wei Tianning's name was written like this.
He and his gang have been hiding their strength!
Now that he's no longer hiding his identity, and everyone is enthusiastically discussing it, he's not seeking out gangs that actively align themselves with him, but instead repeatedly asking me to cooperate. Something's not right.
Although she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, her sixth sense told her that they couldn't cooperate.
Feeling frustrated, Lu Youyou decided to go out for a walk to clear her head.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Yang Yan in the courtyard, dressed in a white dress, quietly painting.
She is drawing an aerial view of the base.
More accurately, she was drawing an aerial view of her dream base, because she added many things to the drawing that didn't exist in the real base.
For example, gardens, lawns, ponds...
She was very fast; she colored the black and white image in just a few strokes, creating a dreamy and harmonious color scheme that clearly showed she wasn't a beginner.
Lu Youyou was so engrossed in watching that the frustration in her heart dissipated as Yang Yan moved with fluid grace.
Finally, Yang Yan stopped writing.
She turned her head and smiled gently: "It's been a long time since I've picked up a paintbrush, so I'm a bit rusty."
Lu Youyou shook her head: "I'm not rusty at all, it looks great. Did you study it specifically?"
"Yes, I'm an art student. If I weren't good at drawing, I wouldn't have been able to get into a good university."
Lu Youyou had a sudden inspiration: "Then do you know how to match colors?"
Yang Yan smiled proudly: "Basic skills, come on, test me, I'll show you something."
Lu Youyou recalled the color of the calming agent, a very pale blue.
"Pale blue, very pale, almost white to the naked eye."
Yang Yan barely hesitated before dipping his brush in blue paint and stirring it in a glass of water.
"This kind of blue?" she asked.
Lu Youyou shook her head: "No."
Yang Yan muttered to himself, "It's not blue with lots of water, could it be blue with white pigment? I'll try it..."
She dipped her brush in two colors and mixed them on the palette.
Because of the different concentrations of the mixed pigments, a gradient blue is formed.
She held up the drawing board for Lu Youyou to see: "Is this light blue color similar to any of your reference objects?"
Lu Youyou shook her head again.
"No, it's a liquid, but not the same liquid as the first time you made it."
Yang Yan said helplessly, "So what is your reference point? Show it to me so I can adjust the colors accordingly."
"It's all gone, we've used it all up."
"What's all used up?"
"Cooling reagent, and my reagent stand doesn't have white ones, just different shades of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, oh, and a reagent that looks like water."
Yang Yan rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "No wonder, so you wanted to adjust the reagent. Could you give me the reagent? I'd like to try using it to adjust the color."
Lu Youyou's lips drooped: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's that I can't give it to you. If that stuff is mixed randomly, it might explode. Do you have a reagent station?"
"I only have a DIY machine, will that work?"
“It works, but no matter how many items you put in the DIY machine, it takes an hour to reveal the answer. That’s a bit long, and you have to keep watching, which is a waste of time. Forget it, I’ll think of another way.”
Yang Yan pulled Lu Youyou back from leaving.
"I've got an idea. Give me the reagent, and I'll mix the same color with the pigment to match it. Then I'll mix it with the pigment, right? The pigment won't explode."
"This is too much trouble for you. Let me think of another way."
“Youyou, I also want to contribute to the development of the gang.”
Seeing that Yang Yan had made up her mind, Lu Youyou took out the reagents of different colors from the reagent stand.
Yang Yan took a deep breath: "It seems like this will be quite a challenge."
Time flies by, and before we knew it, it was noon.
Yang Yan was so engrossed in his work that he forgot to eat and sleep, and was still adjusting the colors.
If Lu Youyou hadn't forced her to go back to her room for dinner, she would still have been sitting there motionless.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Youyou woke up from her nap.
She eagerly awaited Da Rui's copy of Zhao Ting's supplies.
It's not a formula for a cooling agent; there's only one bottle of cooling agent.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed.
But it's not entirely a bad thing, since it can be given to Yang Yan as a reference for color grading.
She knocked on Yang Yan's door.
"It's unlocked, just go in."
Yang Yan's slightly hoarse voice came through.
Lu Youyou sighed softly and pushed open the door: "What, so busy that you don't even drink water?"
Yang Yan cleared his throat: "I drank water, don't worry."
Lu Youyou dropped the bottle of calming agent into Yang Yan's desk.
"This is the cooling agent, it's this light blue."
"Great, now that I have a reference point, I have a goal."
She focused all her energy on the paint in front of her, and Lu Youyou, not wanting to disturb her, quietly left the room.
Inside the room, Yang Yan rubbed his sore neck and continued working.
It wasn't until nightfall that she mixed all the colors of the reagents with paint and stored them in glass bottles.
She yawned, casually put the coffee powder into a mineral water bottle, shook it a couple of times, and without caring whether the coffee powder had completely dissolved in the water, tilted her head back and drank it all.
I feel much better.
She continued working; the basic reagent colors were prepared, and now it was time to prepare different shades of light blue.
Outside the base, unnoticed by everyone, the fog thickened, and the shadowy figures of monsters could be vaguely seen rushing towards the base.
