Chapter 67: 67
“Siyi told me already . Whatever it is you need sent, just give them to me and I will take care of them . Anywhere in this city will be delivered in the same day,” said the butler .
“Is it SF Express?”
Gu Shishi paused for a second .
“Miss Gu, we have our own workers here . All you need to do is to provide us with the address . ”
“Oh, oh, oh . ”
What is SF Express in the world of the wealthy?
“Okay . Mainly I will be mailing paintings . Sometimes I might have them framed first, so they will be fragile and a bit bulky . ”
“Don’t worry . Our men are all professionals . ” Nodded Butler Lin .
“Okay~ Thank you, Butler Lin!” Gu Shishi let out a sigh of relief .
If she had to look for delivering service herself, packaging would be a big issue .
Rolled-up paintings in a tube wouldn’t be bad, but a framed one could be very fragile .
Shipping was definitely a headache .
Now that that was taken care of, and there was still a whole hour before she had to leave for work, Gu Shishi happily returned to her room and turned on her streaming .
She changed her channel name to “I Paint So Well I Can Walk On Clouds”, a much more appealing name .
She could be as artsy as she wanted before, but now that she intended to sell her work, she needed to attract more traffic .
At the same time, she added another line .
“My work today will be given as a gift to one of my viewers . ”
“Starting today, my work will be for sale . Look for ‘The Nerdy Painter” on Taobao . ”
She had registered for a store on Taobao during breakfast, which was coming in handy now .

After propping up her cellphone, she started stretching out her xuan painting paper and preparing her paint brushes .
“I will be doing a gongbi style painting today .
She finally has up to 5 fans after two streaming sessions .
But, she was so early today that most people were still asleep .
Gu Shishi thought about it for a bit and decided against switching to a different time . She exchanged the beginner’s skill and closed her eyes to get a feel of her concepts…
All she had done was free form style work in the past .
Free form style stressed the feel and the artistic conception instead of realistic details .
The system skill that allowed viewers to feel that they were in the painting apparently worked very well with free form style creations .
But gongbi, as opposed to free form, stressed on precision and meticulousness . Its goal was realism .

She wondered how well the system’s cheat would work with gongbi style and whether it would still allow the viewers to experience the painting in person .
That’s what Gu Shishi wanted to find out today .
Quickly, she closed her eyes . Her brow furrowed .
Her body was absorbed into a whole different dimension .
When she opened her eyes again, only a few seconds had passed, but it had already experienced an hour’s time .
She picked up a pointing paint brush made of weasel bristle and her face had a concentration that had never been seen before . She dipped the brush into the ink and agilely applied her brush on the shuxuan painting paper .
A circle in one stroke followed by a dot .
The line was smooth, clean, and flowed in one go .
She didn’t notice her first audience member in her channel .

[MeowMeow: Eh? Are those… eyes?]
[MeowMeow: You are giving it away for free? Can I sign up then?]
Gu Shishi was just about to switch to a different paint brush and happened to see it .
She smiled immediately and said, “MeowMeow? Sure . You can have it for free . The topic was perfect for your nickname . I am painting a cat . ”
[MeowMeow: Eh? Channel Master is going to draw a cat? Okay, I’ll wait right here!~]
[MeowMeow sent you 10 omamori . ]
Each omamori was about $1, and she sent her 10 at once .
Gu Shishi smiled .
That probably wouldn’t even cover the shipping cost .
But that was her very first one, so that was alright .
