Chapter 253: Chapter 168 A Whole New Trade Method (One More Update)_1

[Dressing is art, and so is going undressed; in any case, it’s very artistic.]

[I feel like I’ve been purified by art and have completely lost any worldly desires.]

[I strongly suggest setting up a private bookshelf because the artworks I get are always stolen, forcing me to steal from others.]

[Is this what humans look like? Are humans really this good-looking?]

The feedback from the pirates was good; most of it said this thing was too artistic, while a minority suggested it could be even more artistic.

Seeing these reviews, Liuzi found out that the Goddess of Art’s opinions were actually effective.

Dragging over the Goddess of Art who was still drooling, Liuzi asked curiously, “Strange, most animals and plants here have never seen humans, some haven’t even gazed directly at the gods, so why would they find the human form attractive?”

The Goddess of Art, annoyed at being disturbed from appraising art, didn’t want to offend her ‘artwork dad’ and obediently explained, “Because our origins are all human. As our common ancestors, the human form has a fatal attraction for us.”

“Then what about Mukuai 1234? She’s also human-shaped, but I haven’t seen you lick her.”

“Mukuai 1234? Well… that’s not a human, why would I lick it.”

Although Mukuai 1234 had a human form, her essence was Tian Xuan’s Angel Envoy; gods could see through her nature at a glance, while ordinary animals and plants would automatically ignore her existence.

Then, it looked at Liuzi and said, “Conversely, you Angel Envoys don’t seem to feel much for the human form, which is weird.”

“That’s because we’re used to it. We are humans ourselves.”

No sooner had he spoken, Liuzi saw the Goddess of Art pounce at him with drool dripping, shouting as she lunged, “Let me have a look, let me have a look!”

Right after, she was pushed back into place by the laser sword hanging from Liuzi’s arm, too afraid to move.

His own weapon turned out to be effective at a moment like this, making Liuzi realize that every weapon had its use, including the laser sword.

Moreover, he was once again sure that the creature in front of him with no spines was just crazy.

Such low classiness, yet always claiming to be a god, she had to be a lunatic if not.

Regarding her explanation, Liuzi felt it probably involved some basic settings and decided to jot it down for future research.

Subsequently, based on the pirates’ feedback, the first batch of artworks was produced.

Liuzi drew the line art, then proceeded with coloring treatments; the paintings looked masterfully exquisite, also impressing Xiemen Waidao who lamented, “Mr. Liuzi, I thought you couldn’t draw anything other than underwear?”

“…I know my comics are a bit high on adult content, but how can you impugn my innocence from nowhere! I did that out of necessity for living.”

Xiemen Waidao squinted at Liuzi, feeling the other was not being honest.

It’s obviously because you like it!

The first batch of art books had started to be printed, and these were Liuzi’s top-quality works, also those he preferred to create the most.

These artworks weren’t commercial pieces pandering to the masses but were distinctive paintings born from blending his own preferences with both Eastern and Western techniques.

Seeing his creations recognized made Liuzi very happy, and he no longer felt bored.

Looking at the printed works, Xiemen Waidao flipped through them for a while before saying, “Now there’s only one problem, how do we prevent piracy?”

This was also what Liuzi was most worried about.

As a player well-versed in the capitalist tricks of “I Am The Director,” Liuzi knew that monopolizing a business was very profitable; they wanted to maximize profits by monopolizing the artworks.

And as the original author of the paintings, he was even less willing to let others pirate his works.

But the problem was that in the Star Age, it was very easy for works to be pirated; lawless capitalists didn’t care about so-called copyright, taking as much as they could.

Even if they are squirrels who have beaten up gods, capitalists would still risk their necks to pirate, determined to fill their bellies.

After all, the Star Sea is so vast, by the time you come at us, we might already be dead.

Furthermore, players couldn’t use the Star of Destruction right now because after the game’s update, the Star of Destruction was restricted to just the Songta Planet, temporarily unusable elsewhere.

And apart from restraining the capitalists, there were even more brainless priests; even an old rat had the power to distort the truth, who knew what kind of shenanigans those sects would come up with to compete for the artworks.

They kept coming up with ideas such as digital anti-counterfeit and painting anti-counterfeit, but either due to lack of technical capability or impracticality, these ended in failure.

As the two squirrels were getting headaches, the Goddess of Art showed up again.

She initially wanted to sneak off with a book of paintings to enjoy in her room, but when she found the two squirrels fretting over their treasure trove, she felt quite annoyed.

Especially with Liuzi, you’re supposed to be a master artist creating art, what are you doing here!

Stepping forward, she asked discontentedly, “What’s wrong with you two, why aren’t you working?”

Liuzi glanced at the Goddess of Art, and said helplessly, “We’ve run into a problem, we don’t know how to prevent piracy.”

“Piracy, what’s that?” asked the Goddess of Art cluelessly.

After Liuzi’s detailed explanation, the Goddess of Art finally understood the crux of the issue and had an epiphany, “Ah, I thought it was something big, it’s just that. Simple, hand me the book.”
