Chapter 50 The Painter Who Couldn't Get into Art School
The painter glared at Wendy, who had her face buried in Andrea 2's belly, before quickly regaining his smile: "Ah! Was I presumptuous? Miss Andrea 2 is quite special, already engaged, and it's normal for her to have children. Your daughter is truly quite innocent and adorable!"
The painter emphasized cuteness very much.
Cute? Cute my ass!
"I wonder where Miss Elf's husband is now? He must be a powerful man. I'm very interested." The painter rubbed his hands together with a smile.
Andrea thought to herself, "I want to know who it is too!!"
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
At this moment, Terra finally finished looking at the storefronts on the street and ran towards the guide.
Then, smiley face bubbles appeared above Terra's head because he saw an NPC he really wanted to meet!
That is, the painter NPC, also known as the paintbrush NPC. His dropped item, the paintball gun, is a very useful ranged weapon in the early game.
Although the emitted Easter eggs will scatter to some extent, it's not too outrageous.
And importantly, paintball guns are called guns, but they don't consume bullets.
I never expected to see it here.
"He's here!" Wendy saw Mr. Terra running up behind her sister Andrea 2.
The painter also saw the strangely shaped cube-shaped figure.
He glanced at the little girl, then at the blocky man.
So it seems that the blocky man really is the girl's father?
Andrea 2 and the cube were born, with half cube body and half normal human body.
So the mineralized cubes on her body weren't caused by Oripathy, but were inherited from her father?
The painter's values were shocked.
Wait, the blocky man's body is square...
The painter couldn't help but look Andrea 2 up and down, wondering if she didn't find the cube uncomfortable.
With this in mind, he had a new idea for his drawing. However, he didn't need to spend any more time on Andrea 2 now. He'd just have a brief encounter with that blocky figure and then leave.
Andrea 2 glanced back at Terra, inwardly screaming, "When did Wendy start misunderstanding me and Terra like this?!"
Terra quickly approached the painter.
Just as the painter was about to speak, he saw the cube-shaped figure circling around him.
Terra admired the model from several angles: "Overalls, side-swept bangs, flat chest, not bad."
Painter: "Sir, thank you for your compliment on my handsome appearance, but I am actually a man."
"I know."
The painter thought to himself that this blocky figure seemed rather difficult to communicate with.
Terra opened the painter NPC's dialogue box and found that this NPC only had three options: [Shop], [Decoration], and [Touch].
"Why isn't there an option for arming?"
The painter felt as if he were paralyzed by a ghost, unable to move. With a smile on his face, he said to Terra inexplicably, "We've run out of titanium white. Don't ask anymore."
The painter wondered why he had suddenly wanted to say that.
Then he saw the blocky man suddenly put his hand on his head and sweep it back and forth.
He suddenly felt a sense of relief and began to miss his mother. But at the same time, he felt a great fear. This blocky man was quite large; what if he suddenly smashed his skull open?
Terra's mind bubble popped up. He remembered seeing that the NPCs in the Adventurers' Guild had an arming option, allowing them to take out their weapons directly.
The painter realized that the cube-shaped man's eyes were staring at him, expressionless. He must be angry. Any man would be angry if someone like him seduced his wife.
Oh no, this is going to be a disaster.
The painter was trembling with fear.
Terra noticed that the painter NPC had a new "Damp" buff next to his name.
An exclamation mark appeared above Terra's head: "Does the new version still show what buffs NPCs have next to their names? This feature wasn't there before."
This guy actually peed his pants in fear. Andrea 2 hugged Wendy away from Terra and the human painter with a look of disgust.
Terra opened the Pokédex and took a look.
[Painter - Hill (Non-combat Unit)]
[Killed: 0]
[Environment: Forest]
[Drop: Paintball Gun *1 (10%)]
He once aspired to enter the Royal Academy of Arts, but failed in the end. After a period of depression, he became disappointed with the professors in the academy and stopped preparing for the exam. Instead, he angrily went into business, pouring his dissatisfaction with lords and the church into his picture books and notebooks featuring noblewomen and saints and nuns, until the saints were banned.
Now penniless, he spends his days in taverns, where he occasionally voices his radical ideas, such as the desire to make painters who have taken up art as men great again.
Terra's head popped into a thought bubble: "Are the new version's NPCs divided into combat units and non-combat units? It seems that non-combat units don't have weapon options."
In other words, the only option for him to get the paintball gun is to kill the painter NPC.
The thought bubble above Terra's head turned into a sigh bubble. He didn't really want to kill her; in Terraria, there seemed to be something called the Terra Law.
Terra always had this feeling: when he wanted a certain item at a certain stage, that item just wouldn't appear or drop, but once Terra finally got it, it was as if some restriction had suddenly been lifted, and he could quickly get a second or third of the item he originally only needed one of...
In the old version, Terra often killed painters for paintball guns, but often after killing them more than ten times, they would not drop the paintball gun.
"Let's have this NPC painter follow us for a while; it'll be more convenient later," Terra concluded.
Then assign the painter a room where it's easy to attack. After killing him, the painter will respawn quickly.
Wendy was not happy when Mr. Terra suddenly said that he wanted to let this strange painting fraudster follow them.
"Mr. Terra, this... guy is a bad guy. He was just trying to swindle money from Andrea 2. He even tried to swindle Stella before."
And this guy had a certain odor.
The painter nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Terra, your daughter is right."
Terra smiled and said to Wendy, "Wendy, you really are a newbie. This painter NPC, or you can call him the painter NPC, his drops are really useful weapons. You can take one and I can take one. Even though you have the Slime Staff, having more weapons will be more convenient."
When Andrea 2 heard Terra say this, she guessed that Terra was about to pull off something big again.
"Okay." Wendy agreed, though she didn't know why Mr. Terra was doing this; perhaps he was punishing the guy in his own way.
"Let's continue on our way. How far is your house from here?" Terra asked Wendy. "I can give you some advice on how to modify it. Often, NPC houses don't actually need to be built too well."
Andrea2: "You'd better build it properly~"
Wendy said, "I... don't own a house, I'm just temporarily renting this hotel."
She pointed to the building next to her.
Terra glanced at the inn, a smiley face bubble appearing above her head: "That's exactly what a newbie would do. Instead of building the house themselves, they wander around and see a nice building that the system generates, so they decide to stay there."
Terra recalled her past experiences.
Andrea thought to herself, "This guy is going to say something weird again."
