Chapter 183 - 183 77 Only Waiting for the East Wind (Combined)

183: Chapter 77: Only Waiting for the East Wind (Combined) 183: Chapter 77: Only Waiting for the East Wind (Combined) Zhang Xiaoman had just spoken when he froze, not even waiting for the girl’s reaction.

At that moment, he suddenly realized a problem: he seemed to be overthinking things.

The Enlightenment Array did require materials infused with Dark Energy for the drawing, but there was no rule stating that he, himself, had to be the one to do it!

Zhang Xiaoman’s thoughts started to flow, and his eyes widened.

“So, that means I just need to prepare the necessary materials in advance and let a Dark Energy Mage infuse them.

Then, someone else could handle the actual drawing part, right?”

As this idea struck him, his gaze involuntarily returned to Lin Sisi beside him.

If I could just add the Spirit Detection Technique to her, she would be able to see the traces of Dark Energy.

With her extraordinary artistic skill, wasn’t she the perfect person for the task?

Seeing him fall silent suddenly, Lin Sisi felt a bit puzzled and asked, “Brother Xiao Man, what’s the matter?

How about I draw you some extra auxiliary lines, and you give it another go?”

Zhang Xiaoman stood up from his seat and stepped aside as he spoke to her, “Sisi, how about this: I just thought it over, I can’t learn the Array Technique right now, but I might need it soon.

How about you just help me with the drawing for now?”

“Ah!

Me, draw it?”

Lin Sisi was startled.

She did not expect his casual remark to be serious.

“But I’m just an ordinary person, I don’t know any of that Magic Technique or Formation stuff you talked about.”

Zhang Xiaoman calmly patted her shoulder and moved her to the center of the table.

“No worries, this Formation only needs me to infuse some Dark Energy into the materials.

The rest isn’t difficult, the main challenge is in the construction of the Enlightenment Array Technique… cough, anyway, your part will only be drawing, and I’ll handle the other steps,” he said.

“Can… can we really do that…?”

Lin Sisi was a bit frightened but also excited.

In her mind, Zhang Xiaoman had already helped her so much.

If she could be of assistance in this regard, surely it would make him very happy.

“Of course, it’s very simple, just like how you usually draw.

Why don’t you give it a try?” Zhang Xiaoman encouraged.

Lin Sisi nodded, gripping her brush tightly, ready to leap into action.

Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but smile, then he started describing the pattern she needed to draw.

“First, the outermost circle should have a double-sided outline, and in the center of the outline, there’s a Seven-pointed Star pattern… no, the direction is wrong, the pointy side should be upwards… yes, leave a bigger space in the center, and make the sides shorter…”

“The background is a shield, like those pentagonal shields, but a little wider…”

“There’s an eye in the middle… yes, an open one…”

“Here, in the background, add two rows of trees…”

“On the shield here, there are a pair of wings…”

“…”

He kept instructing while the girl followed along with her drawing.

In just under half an hour, a pattern that bore a three to four parts resemblance to his own palm appeared on paper.

Looking at the familiar emblem in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman felt a pang of admiration.

To think that this girl could do so much even without being able to see, truly worthy of being that talented girl.

“Brother Xiao Man, how did I do?

Is it right?” Lin Sisi asked eagerly.

Zhang Xiaoman first offered his usual words of encouragement, then after a moment of thought, he said, “How about this, I’ll immediately have someone make the original drawing into a sand picture so that you can touch and feel it.

Just relying on my description might be…”

He had only gotten halfway through when he suddenly slapped his forehead, lamenting, “Ah, I’m being so foolish, forgetting about this!

Just wait a moment.”

Zhang Xiaoman quickly performed the Spirit Detection Technique, gently wiping it in front of Lin Sisi’s eyes to bestow upon her a new Status—the Skill’s Duration was only one hour, and he estimated that time was almost up.

Then he opened his hand, showing Lin Sisi his palm with the pattern of the Eye of the Starry Sky, before immediately activating the Eye of the Starry Sky Skill.

“I almost forgot again, this Skill isn’t like before.

Now it’s an active Skill, and I can use it even without a monster corpse.

Though I can’t absorb points, at least I can make it work…”

Zhang Xiaoman mentally calculated, then said to Lin Sisi, “Sisi, look at my palm, see if you notice anything different.”

Following his instructions, Lin Sisi brought her silver-white luminous eyes to rest on the hand of the figure in the grey world, and soon she saw a faintly colored and unusual pattern flowing on it.

She immediately understood; this was the pattern Zhang Xiaoman had just asked her to draw.

This time, without needing further explanation, Lin Sisi grasped how the pattern should look.

Excitedly stating she could see it, she couldn’t wait to pick up her brush and start drawing anew.

Zhang Xiaoman watched as she moved her brush swiftly over the paper.

With the original as a reference, her speed was significantly faster than before.

It took her less than ten minutes to finish the artwork.

That was with her being unable to see with her own eyes.

If she could see, her speed would probably be even greater.
