Van Gogh sighed: "I don’t know if this counts as art, but this is how the world looks to . My work doesn’t get recognized."
Chun asked: "What do you do for a living?"
Van Gogh said: "Just painting in the plaza, but mostly shining shoes."
Seriously, using my Rune Technique "Make it prettier" to develop a colorful polish for you might be better than selling paintings, right?
Chun asked again: "What is your ideal?"
Van Gogh sighed: "To find soone who understands my paintings would make very content. I’m really glad to et you all."
Chun laughed: "Mainly because we can enter your world and appreciate your art. I think you can beco an artist."
Van Gogh was surprised: "How can I beco one?"
Chun rembered what the fake Angel Mary said to him when she gave him the book "Treasure Identification Technique" back in the day, and decided to tell him directly, so he displayed the expert-level Treasure Identification Technique: "Once I’ve practiced my Treasure Identification Technique to a high level, and beco a big figure, I’ll help you. But you need to work hard yourself too."
Van Gogh suddenly ca to realization: "So you are—"
Chun quickly stopped him: "Confidential! Otherwise, it’ll be hard for to beco a big figure~"
Honestly, if doing sothing bad, the identity needs to be strictly confidential. If doing sothing good, the interests must be bound together.
Van Gogh was stunned for a mont: "No, you already are a big figure!"
Chun got excited: "What makes you say that?"
Van Gogh exclaid: "You touched the Gem Flower’s butt!"
—Pu!
Vivian burst into laughter: "Darling, from this perspective, you truly are a big figure!"
Uh, whether it was Hunter before or him now, they both seed to care a lot about this? Alright, since I’m already a big figure, doing a bit more is just a wave of the hand?
Chun directly fulfilled his promise: "Do you have any paintings in stock?"
Van Gogh was surprised: "Yes! They’re all piled up in my room."
Chun decided: "Alright, tomorrow bring so stock to the stall, soone will co to buy them."
Anyway, Moss is positioned as a collector, buying paintings is quite reasonable, right?
Chun added: "Sell them at a higher price. How much are your paintings now per piece?"
Van Gogh got a bit excited: "2 Mining Coins per piece."
Holy shit! Does that cover the cost of the canvas and paints?
Chun laughed: "Sell them higher, 200 per piece."
Van Gogh was shocked: "That much?"
Hey, if it’s for money laundering in the future, adding a billion might not even be too much, right?
Chun smiled: "Yes, the cheaper art sells, the more it will be looked down upon, so be bold and wait for the news tomorrow."
Van Gogh was moved to tears: "Then what can I do for you?"
Chun laughed: "Tonight, hang out with us—mostly to accompany this young lady Jenny, she needs inspiration as a seamstress to advance to a grandmaster."
Jenny nodded softly.
Van Gogh bowed like a gentleman, instantly turning the whole Dream Realm into a blooming field towards the East Sea: "I hope my world can bring inspiration to the young lady!"
Jenny clapped her hands: "Very nice!"
Uh, you’re a Sleepwalker, clapping is quite strange, right?
Chun decided to find the next one: "Let’s go see Hemingway fishing. He seems to have been trying to catch a certain fish and hasn’t succeeded, his persistence is sothing worth learning from."
Jenny got completely enthusiastic: "Then let’s go!"
Mainly, Chun wanted to see what the result would be with three overlapping Dream Realms. At the sa ti, he also felt he had a new understanding about obsession. If Jenny might have been born with mage talent or as a nobleman’s illegitimate daughter, her current strength would seem justified. But Van Gogh here is obviously an ordinary person from an ordinary dinsion, yet he’s beco strong through pure obsession, so after death, becoming an Evil Spirit has nothing to do with his combat power while alive.
So along the way, Aileen twisted so surveillance Magic Mirrors with Illusion Technique, reaching the surface of the sea near the dock.
Sure enough, the old man wasn’t there. However, there was also an obsession mist at his fishing spot.
Van Gogh eagerly said: "Let call him."
It must be said, Chun had always just directly entered the other’s brain at the bedside, not knowing that it’s possible to trigger the other’s Dream Realm through outside obsessions, which practically achieves "Dream Realm Networking"! So, the Conch Lighthouse idea of connecting Dream Realms around the world must have so enlightennt, right?
Soon, a similarly vague silhouette of obsession ca running over.
On closer inspection, it was just a plain old man!
—System Prompt: Your team has entered Hemingway’s Dream Realm.
The scene changed again, from Van Gogh’s kindergartener art style to the underwater world of an aquarium, with a bunch of hyper-realistically styled colorful fish swimming everywhere!
Three Dream Realms overlapping!
—System Prompt: You witnessed the rare creature "Treasure Phoenix Fish", you obtained the information for the academic profession "Erudite Scholar".
Holy shit, this can trigger information too! Seems like what i said about conveying the ssage of rare creatures to and making erudite is completely reliable.
The old man was confused: "Where is this, who are you, am I... dreaming?"
Van Gogh introduced himself: "Sir, I’m Van Gogh, the shoeshine poor painter from Sapphire Plaza. This isn’t a dream, it’s realizing a dream. This gentleman has helped realize my dream, perhaps I can also help realize yours."
Uncertain if the old man can keep a secret, Chun didn’t introduce himself first.
The old man clearly had deep obsession and wasn’t interested in eting people, directly asking Van Gogh: "Can you help catch fish?"
Van Gogh said: "I’ve already seen your dream, sir. I can help you paint it out! If you paint it, that would also be another way to realize the dream, right?"
The old man was simply put out: "You don’t understand fishing! That’s not the sa thing at all!"
Vivian said: "I heard this fish is an Emperor’s tribute ornantal fish, but it went extinct because too many were caught."
Ah, Vivian is truly erudite!
The old man got anxious: "No, I’ve seen them many tis over the decades, right here! But I’ve never caught one, and no one believes ! Because I’ve seen them so many tis, I rember exactly what they look like."
Vivian said: "Actually, I’ve only heard of the fish’s na too, no idea what it looks like. I’m sure others don’t either, being able to paint it for everyone to see would be a way to prove oneself, Van Gogh is right."
The old man shivered, a towering aura of discouragent engulfing the place: "I’ve spent decades on this fish, if painting it glosses over the truth, wouldn’t my decades be a joke?"
Mina was startled: "What a powerful obsession!"
Chun seed to understand this feeling, similar to an antique collector convinced of his collection’s authenticity for decades. Once discovered to be fake, it’s hard to imagine...
Chun rembered sothing: "My Astrologer profession does co with a Basic Fishery Production Prediction skill... but it’s just basic."
Vivian beca excited: "The book says, as long as the obsession is strong enough, it can twist space. Now this space already contains the strong obsessions of three people, shall we try?"
