Chapter 1003: Chapter 989: I’ll Build From Scratch With You! (Part 1)

Huo Feng has been very focused on the game recently.

When Pu Sangzhi is with him, all she hears from him is about the game.

From the game’s setting to its storyline, and even its future promotion and development, his mind is almost entirely on these things.

Pu Sangzhi can sense that his ambition is becoming increasingly strong.

As his girlfriend, she should fully support him!

And coincidentally, the digital tablet she bought on Taobao arrived today.

Pu Sangzhi should also start designing the characters.

...

This evening, the two of them spent their study session in the library as they had planned.

And, this time, since Huo Feng booked the seats via his phone during class, they managed to get a small private room in the library!

It was basically lucky to snag such a prime spot!

The small room in the library isn’t big, but it can fit two computers. Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi sat side by side, with two computers set up on the table, and thus began the night of gaming that stretched ahead...

Pu Sangzhi received the newly bought digital tablet, which could be connected to the computer, providing her a chance to try drawing with Photoshop.

Recently, she had watched quite a few videos and livestreams on digital illustration, and she was fairly confident about drawing with a tablet.

So after connecting the tablet to the computer, Pu Sangzhi started moving the stylus across the tablet.

The positions the pen touched were completely reflected on the canvas in Photoshop.

In other words, whatever Pu Sangzhi drew on the tablet would be directly displayed in Photoshop, which is the preferred drawing software for most digital illustrators.

Beside her, Huo Feng was still engrossed in the game’s storyline; he wasn’t planning to code tonight. Instead, he intended to organize the storyline and assign different roles to different characters.

Seeing Pu Sangzhi already starting to draw, Huo Feng’s attention was naturally drawn towards her.

After all, the digital tablet was something new for both of them. It looked quite fascinating...

"How many characters do you need?" Pu Sangzhi asked him.

"A lot, a whole lot."

Huo Feng nodded in response, "There are 4 optional female characters and 4 male characters, so we need 8 character designs. There are also many secondary characters, but since I haven’t sorted out the storyline yet, I don’t know how many side characters are needed. In short, you need to draw a lot! And they need to be super handsome and beautiful! In our kind of game aimed at girls, character appearance is very important!"

Pu Sangzhi wasn’t intimidated by his words and simply replied softly, "Oh, which one should I design first?"

Huo Feng sent her the character traits of the 8 main characters he had planned out in advance, "Take a look at your phone; I’ve sent them all to you. Remember to design the male and female leads to resemble us a bit!"

Pu Sangzhi squinted her eyes, feeling speechless, but chose not to reply to his latter statement.

However, she still picked up her phone and opened the character traits Huo Feng had just sent her.

Before she could take a good look, a WeChat message from Jiang Tao suddenly popped up on her phone, and Pu Sangzhi instinctively clicked to see it first...

Lately, while she learned digital illustration, she would also continue working on her models and manage her Douyin account every night after returning to the dormitory, often sharing her designs on Douyin.

Her model was completed just last night, and this afternoon, she took it to show to their advisor Jiang Tao.

Upon seeing her model, Jiang Tao was full of praise for her design!

The set of models was also taken by Jiang Tao, who said he would enter them in a competition and they might also qualify for an internal scholarship.

At this moment, Jiang Tao sent her a WeChat message asking her: [Does your work have a name? What is the design concept? What are its features? Please provide a detailed explanation in a Word document!]

Pu Sangzhi immediately replied to Jiang Tao: [Okay.]

This unexpected task meant that Pu Sangzhi had to pause her drawing to write a detailed report on her model design for Jiang Tao.

Huo Feng, seeing her put away the tablet, couldn’t help but ask, "Why aren’t you drawing?"

Pu Sangzhi replied, "My advisor asked me to submit something to him, so I need to finish this task first. It will take about 20 minutes, then I’ll start drawing again."

Huo Feng pouted, "Oh..."

Of course, he wasn’t unhappy, just a bit disappointed.

During the break while she was writing the report, Pu Sangzhi also mentioned some good news to Huo Feng that was related to herself: "I’ve been managing my Douyin account lately, and because my design models have received recognition from many professionals in the industry, I’ve actually had a number of fans asking me to create design drawings for them, and they’re paying me for it."

Huo Feng was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Yes."

Huo Feng felt happy for her, pinching her cheeks playfully, "Ah, my wife has started earning money already~ How much have you made?"

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, her lips curling slightly, "Designing drawings isn’t troublesome, and I’ve recently completed five orders, earning about 1000 yuan in total. I’ve already deposited it into our joint account."

"What?"

Huo Feng was quite surprised, "Why so cheap? Only 200 yuan per design?"

Pu Sangzhi replied as a matter of course, "I didn’t do any site visits; I just produced the drawings online for their reference. Besides, I’m still a university student, haven’t even obtained a professional qualification. The fact that they trusted me to create the design drawings and even paid me is already quite flattering."

Pu Sangzhi felt that this unexpected part-time income was like a windfall.

After all, she’s just a student, and for outsiders to trust her skills and be willing to pay her to design their homes is really courteous.

Pu Sangzhi isn’t bothered by the small amount of money; she actually has bigger ideas.

She’s even contemplating whether she could provide a full or partial package, along with the design.

If she were to conduct site visits, produce the design drawings, then organize contractors for the renovation, and finally handle the acceptance and handover, she could definitely earn much more than just creating design drawings.

Although it’s a bit of trouble...

But if she could manage to establish this, it could be quite a lucrative income, even possibly becoming a full-time job.

However, all these plans are currently in the brainstorming stage. For now, she needs to help Huo Feng complete his project...

She’s his graphic designer!

She should at least help him finish all these illustrations first, then use the spare energy to pursue her own career.

"Wifey..."

Huo Feng observed her focused face as she stared at the computer, feeling both touched and sorry, "You earn a hard-won 1000 yuan, and it’s mixed in with my money. It’s really unnecessary... You should just save my money and use yours. Otherwise, when I start my business, how can I take your money? It’s like I’m living off you..."

His words made Pu Sangzhi smile, and she directly responded, "We are one entity, so why differentiate between yours and mine. Just save up the money because there will certainly be lots of expenses in the future. Besides, when we start the business and establish a studio, aren’t you going to need to invest a significant amount? We surely need to save up now..."

Her open-hearted words touched Huo Feng, making him feel moved to the point of tears, "Wifey... you’re so wonderful..."

Seeing that she put even her small earnings into their joint funds, while he still thought of saving some private money...,

At this moment, Huo Feng felt incredibly guilty and uneasy!

He was almost overcome by a strong urge to submit all of his private money...

But...

Being controlled by money, he ultimately didn’t have the courage to submit his private fund.

Huo Feng’s heart shrank!

His head tilted over to rest on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, ruefully muttering, "Wifey, you’re so good to me, I will definitely be good to you."

While typing away rapidly, Pu Sangzhi replied, "Okay."

"Wifey~"

Huo Feng nuzzled against her shoulder, full of remorse, "Wifey, let me be the one to make money from now on, you handle the finances. Please don’t invest your money too, it makes me uncomfortable to spend your money..."

The main issue was her adding money into their joint funds while he saved private money, causing him deep guilt!

Yet, Huo Feng didn’t want to give up his private savings...

For a man, having private savings is crucial when financial authority is in the hands of the woman...

Pu Sangzhi resolutely refused, "You need money for your startup now. Like you said, when it comes time to use money, if Yan Siyuan can casually come up with 500,000 yuan, what are you going to do?"

Pu Sangzhi continued, "I have to plan for you. If we can afford it ourselves, that would be best. Otherwise, you’d have to depend on your parents..."

Huo Feng was shocked, "Huh! Do you think I would do that?"

Pu Sangzhi stated, "In short, I’ll strive by your side, we’ll start from scratch together. We definitely can earn everything we want, like a house, a car, and the life we desire..."

Huo Feng was instantly moved again, holding her tightly and unwilling to let go, "Wifey, you’re just wonderful!"
