Volume 1 Chapter 117 (1/2)

One will search high and low only to find it when one least expects to

Hearing what Vivian said, Agnes doubtfully looked at her, but she didn’t say anything. Xu Yi asked in a curious voice with a trace of expectation, “Why isn’t it good? Vivian, can you tell which part isn’t good?”

Xu Yi was very expectant of Vivian because last time he accidentally found Vivian’s talent for product design, he had decided to send Vivian to Baron Rickto Magic Academy to learn drawing, wanting to unearth the talent inside her.

Now that he saw her actually agree to the beautiful Magic Lamp that Agnes drew, Xu Yi wasn’t a bit surprised at all, rather he was excited.

“This…..” Vivian looked at Anges and saw a pair of long ears. This big sister who looked like the legendary elf didn’t seem too happy, so she hesitantly pointed at the drawn Magic Lamp a few times before pointing at the beautifully drawn base and saying, “If the base is like this, there’s no way to draw the Magic Array onto it.”

Xu Yi looked at where Vivian was pointing and after thinking about it, he realized that Vivian wasn’t wrong at all.

Evita was the one who came up with this Magic Lamp, but because she didn’t learn anything about design at all, she just designed it based on requirements. So there were many things that she didn’t consider, or rather she didn’t have the related knowledge for at all…...

This Magic Lamp’s current appearance was formed from Evita’s many tests, so there weren’t any considerations for appearance changes at all. So as soon as it was changed by Agnes, there were immediately problems that appeared.

The most important problem was that the designed base couldn’t support a Magic Array, but Agnes had changed it anyway. The base was much smaller because of this, so there wasn’t a way to put a Magic Array on it.

In other words, this kind of design was a complete failure.

Xu Yi looked at Vivian and couldn’t help nodding in praise.

She actually noticed the most important problem with this design, showing that she really did have a talent for this.

“Very good, Vivian, you’re very correct.” Xu Yi said in a voice of praise, “Then according to your thoughts, how should this Magic Lamp be changed?”

“I feel it’s best if it’s changed like this……”

Perhaps it was because she gained courage from Xu Yi’s encouragement, but Vivian directly took the pen and drawing pad from Agnes’ hand and drew a new Magic Lamp design on another page.

One had to admit, the elves did have more talent when it came to art. Although Vivian was considered a genius at drawing and had studied drawing at Baron Rickto Magic Academy for a while, while her drawings were very clear and life like, the feeling it gave to people was inferior in comparison.

But compared to Agnes’ drawing that only cared about the design, Vivian didn’t just draw the design. She also included drawings that considered the internal design, making it look more realistic.

And this came from the usual guidance Xu Yi gave Vivian.

When Vivian finished, Xu Yi was filled with praise, “Good! Vivian, your drawing is great!”

Vivian’s drawing considered the overall design of the Magic Lamp. Not only did it leave enough space for the Magic Array, it also left some space for further changes.

Other than this, based on the design of the glass cover, Vivian had also considered the problem of light divergence. She had cleverly designed the glass cover to have a curved non transparent mirror.

Although it wasn’t clear what effect this would have on the design, it showed that she had already considered the light divergence problem. This was something that Xu Yi hadn’t taught her and was something Evita and Akali never considered, so it could be seen that she had thought of this herself.

Getting praise from Xu Yi, Vivian’s face couldn’t help revealing a proud look. When she looked at Agnes, she raised her head a bit.

Agnes didn’t notice Vivian’s little actions. Rather after looking at the design Vivian made for a while, she shook her head, “No, this isn’t beautiful enough.”

Xu Yi had a thought and gave the drawing to her.

“Then Agnes, based on this, make something that you think looks good.”

“Can I?” Agnes looked at Vivian.

Vivian hesitated a bit. Although her heart was a bit unwilling, she still obediently nodded.

So Agnes quickly finished a new drawing.

This time, she even made a few revisions to the inner design Vivian had made.

The drawing really looked much more refined and beautiful after it was modified. Even if Vivian wasn’t willing to submit, she still had to admit this point.

But Vivian found several more problems and pointed them out without any politeness before making another drawing.

Agnes gave her ideas on the design again and created another drawing.

Vivian also found more problems and made another drawing.

Agnes…...

…...

The next morning, Xu Yi woke up on time.

When he walked out, he saw the drawings scattered all over the living room and Agnes and Vivian sleeping sprawled over the table.
