Chapter 486 The Fisherman's Obsession
Van Gogh sighed: "I don't know if this is art, but this is how the world looks to me, and my work is not recognized."

Dachun asked, "How do you make a living?"

Van Gogh said: "Even if I was painting in the square, I was mainly polishing shoes."

Well, to be honest, using my rune magic to develop a colored shoe polish for you is probably better than selling your paintings, right?

Dachun asked again: "What is your ideal?"

Van Gogh sighed, "I would be very satisfied if I could find someone who understands my paintings. I am very happy to have met you."

Dachun smiled: "The main thing is that we can enter your world and appreciate your art. I think you can become an artist."

Van Gogh was surprised and asked, "How can it be done?"

Dachun remembered what the fake angel Mary had said when she gave him the book "Appraising Treasures." He decided to be straightforward and showed off his expert-level appraisal skills: "When I improve my skills and become a big shot, I will help you. Of course, you have to work hard on your own too."

Van Gogh suddenly came to his senses: "So you are——"

Dachun hurriedly stopped him: "Keep it a secret! Otherwise, it will be hard for me to become a big shot~"

To be honest, if you do something bad, your identity will be kept strictly confidential. If you do something good, you can only tie it up to your interests.

Van Gogh was stunned for a moment: "No, you are already a big shot!"

Dachun became excited: "Why do you think so?"

Van Gogh exclaimed: "You touched the buttocks of the jeweled flower!"

——Ah poof!
Vivian laughed heartily: "My dear, from this perspective, you are indeed a big shot!"

Well, whether it was Hunter or him, they both seemed quite concerned about this matter. Okay, since he's already a big shot, getting things done should just be a simple matter of raising his hand, right?

Dachun immediately fulfilled his promise: "Do you have any paintings in stock?"

Van Gogh was surprised and said, "Yes! My room is full of them."

Dachun decided: "How about this, tomorrow you bring some stock to set up a stall, and people will come to buy."

Anyway, Moss is positioned as a collector, so it makes sense for him to buy paintings, right?
Dachun added: "Sell your paintings at a higher price. How much do you charge for one of your paintings now?"

Van Gogh was a little excited: "Two mining coins a pair."

Holy crap! Is that worth the cost of the canvas and paint?

Dachun smiled and said, "Sell it for a little more, 200 yuan a pair."

Van Gogh was shocked: "So many?"

Well, if it is used to launder money in the future, adding a hundred million at the end wouldn’t be excessive, right?
Dachun smiled and said, "Well, the cheaper art is, the more it will be despised. So be bold and wait for tomorrow's news."

Van Gogh was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "What can I do for you?"

Dachun smiled and said, "Come walk around with us tonight—mainly to accompany Miss Jenny. Her tailor needs inspiration to advance to Grandmaster."

Jenny nodded faintly.

Van Gogh gave a gentleman's salute, and the entire dream suddenly opened to the East China Sea, where spring blossoms bloomed. "I hope my world can bring inspiration to you, young lady!"

Jenny clapped her hands: "Very good!" Uh, you are a sleepwalker, isn't it weird to applaud?

Dachun decided to find the next one: "Then let's go and see the fisherman Hai Mingwei. He seems to have been trying to catch some fish but hasn't caught anything. His persistence is something we can learn from."

Jenny's interest was completely aroused: "Let's go!"

Dachun's main interest was to see what would happen if the three dreams overlapped. This also gave him a new understanding of obsession. If Jenny had a natural talent as a mage or was the illegitimate daughter of a city girl, her current strength would be understandable. But Van Gogh was clearly just an ordinary person from an ordinary plane, who relied on obsession to become a powerful being in this plane. Therefore, the strength of a demon after death is truly unrelated to his combat prowess in life.

So along the way, Ailian distorted the light and created several surveillance magic mirrors, and came to the sea near the dock.

The old man was indeed not there. However, there was also a cloud of obsession mist where he was fishing.

Van Gogh was very positive: "I will call him."

It has to be said that Dachun had previously always sneaked into the other party's bedside to drill into their brains, but he really didn't know that he could trigger the other party's dreams through the obsession left outside. That would realize the "dream network"! Then, his own idea of ​​the conch lighthouse is also to realize the dream network to achieve the purpose of global communication with confidants. What inspiration does it have?
Soon, a short, thin figure with the same vague obsession ran over.

When you get closer, you'll find that he's just an ordinary old man!

——System prompt: Your team has entered Hai Mingwei’s dream.

The scene changed again, and Van Gogh's kindergarten style suddenly turned into the underwater world of an aquarium, but a group of colorful fish with a hyper-realistic style were swimming everywhere!
Three dreams overlap!
——System prompt: You have seen the rare creature "Precious Phoenix Fish" and you have obtained information about the academic profession "Scholar".

Holy shit, this can trigger information! It seems Xiaomei's words about passing on information about rare creatures to me and making me more knowledgeable are completely true.

The old man was also confused: "This is, you are, am I... dreaming?"

Van Gogh introduced himself: "Uncle, my name is Van Gogh, a poor shoe shiner and painter from Sapphire Square. This is not a dream, this is the realization of a dream. This gentleman is about to realize my dream, and I think I may be able to realize your dream too."

Unsure whether the old man could keep the secret, Dachun didn't introduce himself first.

The old man was obviously deeply obsessed and had no interest in getting to know people. He asked Van Gogh directly: "Can you help me catch some fish?"

Van Gogh said, "I have seen your dream. I can help you paint it! As long as I paint it, it can be regarded as another way to realize your dream, right?"

The old man was simply like, "You don't know how to fish! This is totally different!"

Vivian said, "I heard this fish was an ornamental fish given as tribute to the emperor, but because they were caught too many times, they must have become extinct."

Ah, Vivian is so knowledgeable!

The old man was anxious: "No, I have seen them many times in the past few decades, right here! But I never caught them once, and no one believed me! It is precisely because I have seen them so many times that I remember their appearance so clearly."

Vivian said, "Actually, I've only heard of this fish's name, and I don't know what it looks like. I'm sure other people don't know either. Drawing it and letting everyone see it is a way to prove myself. Van Gogh was right."

The old man shuddered, and a majestic aura of dejection filled the room. "I've spent decades on this fish. If I can just get away with it by painting it, won't all these decades of my life become a joke?"

Mina was shocked: "What a strong obsession!"

Dachun seemed to understand this feeling. It was like an old man who collected antiques and always believed that his collection, which he had collected for decades, was real. Once he found out it was fake, he couldn't even think about it...

Dachun thought of something: "My profession as an astrologer does have a basic skill for predicting fish catches... but it's only basic."

Vivian was excited. "The book says that as long as the obsession is strong enough, space can be distorted. Now we already have three people with strong obsessions in this space. Let's try it?"
