Chapter 941 -872: Only These 6 Paintings in the World

The next morning.

Shadow Studio.

Jin Mu hummed a pleasant tune as he sat on the sofa, opening the breakfast he had just bought from outside.

Steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

Salty tofu brain.

If this were a year ago, Jin Mu would definitely be extremely busy, to the point where he did not even have time for breakfast.

It was because he was simultaneously working as the manager for both Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, and he had to deal with too many things every day.

The situation had changed since last year.

With the approval of his boss, Jin Mu had set up a business team of twenty people.

This business team was divided into two groups of ten, each responsible for the work of Chu Kuang and Shadow respectively, so Jin Mu was much more relaxed and not as involved in every little detail as before.

Now, Jin Mu just had to take care of some major projects.

And right as Jin Mu was about to eat breakfast, his phone suddenly began to vibrate, a call from an unfamiliar number coming in.

Jin Mu’s expression immediately turned serious.

Aside from some very distinguished individuals, ordinary people could only contact Shadow and Chu Kuang through his business team.

Being able to get directly to Jin Mu could only mean one thing:

The person on the other end was either rich or noble.

Setting down the steamed bun in his hand, Jin Mu answered the call.

From the other side came a somewhat deep voice:

“May I speak with Mr. Jin Mu, the manager of Teacher Shadow?”

“Speaking.”

“I am Lei Ming from Shike Real Estate.”

“Mr. Lei, hello, may I ask what I can do for you?”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Jin Mu asked respectfully yet assertively, surprised by the call.

He had heard of Lei Ming’s reputation; the man was a top tycoon in Qin Continent, involved in real estate development.

Not to mention far-off developments.

Within five kilometers of Jin Mu’s home, there were three residential communities developed by Shike Real Estate, which showed just how formidable Lei Ming was.

However, Jin Mu did not lose his composure.

As the manager for both Chu Kuang and Shadow, he had seen a lot over the years and had met many influential figures. Someone of Lei Ming’s caliber would not intimidate him. Jin Mu was just curious about what a real estate mogul would want with Shadow’s art.

“It’s like this.”

Lei Ming said: “I have long admired Teacher Shadow and would like to commission a painting. Please let Teacher Shadow set the price…”

So he was seeking a painting.

That was not rare at all.

Under Luo Wei’s arrangement, Shadow’s “Galloping Horses” had participated in an art exhibition and indeed won significant recognition from the industry.

Perhaps Lei Ming had become interested in Shadow’s paintings because of that?

“Very well.”

Jin Mu answered carefully, “I will discuss it with Teacher Shadow and get back to you as soon as we reach a decision.”

“I am in your debt, Mr. Jin!”

Lei Ming was very polite, “Please be sure to ask Teacher Shadow for this favor. Should it be successful, there will be a generous reward!”

Jin Mu’s response was impenetrable: “You’re too kind. I don’t have the authority to decide; in the end, it will depend on Teacher Shadow’s intentions.”

After hanging up the phone.

Jin Mu didn’t consider this to be a big deal; he planned to finish his breakfast before contacting Lin Yuan. But before he could take the first bite of his steamed bun, a series of calls came in incessantly—

“I want to buy a painting from Teacher Shadow!”

“Hello, please ask Teacher Shadow to help make a painting, as long as the quality is high, money is not an issue!”

“May I know if Teacher Shadow can paint a picture for me?”

“Is Teacher Shadow there? I’d like to ask for a favor, to commission a piece!”

“Could you please have Teacher Shadow create a painting?”

“I want to commission a work from Teacher Shadow; I greatly admire their works!”

“Teacher Shadow…”

“Shadow…”

Since the formation of the business team, it had been a long time since Jin Mu had been this busy!

Continuous calls came in, each one representing a wealthy tycoon of the highest stature!

And all these tycoons had one objective:

To invite Teacher Shadow to produce a painting!

By the time he had finished taking these calls, Jin Mu’s breakfast on the table had gone cold, but at that moment he hardly cared.

What was going on?

Why were so many tycoons suddenly chasing after Shadow’s paintings?

Could it be that Shadow had been stirring up trouble recently?

With countless question marks over his head, Jin Mu hurriedly dialed Lin Yuan’s number.

…

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Yuan appeared at the studio.

Jin Mu’s face was full of urgency: “Just now, many tycoons called me, saying they wanted you to paint for them. One after another, they all said that price was no obstacle. What exactly have you done to them?”

“Nothing much.”

Lin Yuan directly informed Jin Mu about the matter of the five paintings.

It seemed that the Paintfection ability of the paintings at the hotel had affected the viewers.

Before coming, he had received a message from Sun Yaohuo that all five top-tier suites at the hotel had been booked last night.

“Just five paintings attracted so many tycoons?”

Jin Mu’s expression was blank, struggling to grasp the concept.

Lin Yuan didn’t expect to use words to make Jin Mu understand.

In front of Jin Mu, he directly took out the “Galloping Horse” painting he had prepared to give to the chairman today!

Swish!

The scroll unfurled.

Infused with Paintfection, the image of the galloping horses instantly hit Jin Mu with an unparalleled force!

At that moment.

Jin Mu’s eyes were wide open!

It was as if the neighing of war horses rang in his ears!

The majestic figure stood tall and proud, with a strong and powerful neck connecting flowing manes and elegant tails, every stroke of the brush revealing the horse’s strength and spirit!

In the depths of the ink,

Jin Mu seemed to see the steed galloping on the endless grasslands, without a saddle, stirrups, or the constraints of reins, just endless pleasure and grace!

Majestic in its bearing!

Hooves vaulting through air!

With the speed of lightning, it was like a streak of light across the sky, leaving nothing but the sound of whinnying and roaring winds in one’s ears, accompanied by the flying past of countless landscapes, as if riding the wind amid the clouds;

And when the horse’s strong limbs struck the ground, even the soil splashed up!

It was a kind of unrestrained boldness, as if nothing in the world could stand in its way!

Broad strokes swept across!

The momentum of flight shattered the void!

Only when Lin Yuan put away the painting, did Jin Mu reluctantly look away, taking a deep breath of cool air.

All five paintings in the hotel are of this caliber?

No wonder!

Jin Mu suddenly looked up at Lin Yuan, “What does the boss plan to do with these requests for paintings?”

“Decline.”

Lin Yuan said without hesitation.

He had already given this thorough contemplation.

Paintfection is a very precious skill, so valuable that Lin Yuan didn’t want to misuse it just for the sake of making money.

Anyone with enough wealth would covet a work containing Paintfection, but could Lin Yuan fulfill all their desires?

Impossible.

Rarity brings value.

No matter how much Lin Yuan wanted to make money, he knew that if works with Paintfection became common in the market, their value would decrease.

“Then just decline.”

Jin Mu was not surprised at all.

As an excellent agent, he could think of what Lin Yuan had thought:

“If all five paintings have this quality, then if the boss agrees outright to the wealthy requests, the value of these paintings would actually decrease.”

As for whether those paintings really matched the caliber of the one in Lin Yuan’s hands?

The multiple calls Jin Mu received today were evidence enough.

“You’re not selling the one you have either?”

“This painting I’ve prepared to give to the chairman.”

“Then leave the rest to me.”

Jin Mu suddenly wore a slightly cunning smile and then dialed a phone number.

“Mr. Lei, good day.”

“What does Teacher Shadow say?”

Despite his best efforts to suppress it, Jin Mu still picked up a hint of eagerness and desire in the other’s voice.

“I’m sorry.”

Jin Mu put on a grave expression, “The five paintings you saw in the hotel are the result of Teacher Shadow’s countless efforts and hard work, the likes of which we outsiders can hardly understand. Work of this caliber, even Teacher Shadow himself cannot reproduce in a short time. So I can only apologize, Teacher Shadow is not taking any orders for the time being…”

The other party was stunned, falling into silence.

A moment later, the voice sighed:

“I was too presumptuous. To have five such masterpieces is already a heavenly blessing, how could I extravagantly hope that Teacher Shadow could easily produce a sixth?”

Jin Mu: “…”

The sixth painting was right in Lin Yuan’s hands, wasn’t it?

To prevent discrepancies, Jin Mu pretended to be regretful, “Actually, there is a sixth, but it has been reserved by Teacher Shadow’s friend Xian Yu, who plans to give it to the chairman of Starlight.”

“The chairman of Starlight Entertainment?”

The voice on the other end burst into a hint of hope.

“Yes, therefore, there are just six pieces that Teacher Shadow can paint currently, including the one he isn’t even sure he could replicate, let alone paint a seventh or more…”

Jin Mu bluffed importantly.

The other party seemed to make up their mind hurriedly, “I have some business to attend to, I’ll contact you later!”

“Alright.”

Jin Mu smiled slightly, hung up the phone, and then, mimicking the same explanation, he called the other tycoons.

The summary was simple:

This caliber of painting, Teacher Shadow has only painted six so far.

Five are in the hotel.

The sixth was taken by Xian Yu to give to the chairman.

As for the seventh, Teacher Shadow might paint it someday, or might never be able to again.

And if indeed he paints it, what then?

That’s just Teacher Shadow being GOAT.

In any case, for now, there are only these six in the world!

No one doubted, or rather, there was absolutely no reason to doubt!

The five paintings were too magnificent, convincing everyone that such masterpieces cannot be easily created!
