Chapter 267 Magical Painting
Qin Haodong also turned his head to the referee, who was known for his impartiality. He did not know how many points the referee would give him. Although the painting had been made by the poodle, it had actually been completed by him.
The final shake seemed simple, but the strength, direction and timing of the shake were very exquisite. As long as there was a mistake, it would be lost. All this could only be achieved by a powerful spirit like his.
Suddenly, Gompos became the focus of attention. Everyone's eyes were fixed on his face. Naturally, Huaxia people longed for him to give a high mark. The Nihon people, on the other side, hoped that he would give a low score at least one point lower than He Lizhi's.
Gompos looked at the Plum Blossom Painting in front of him and remained silent for a minute. When everyone was about to collapse, he looked up and said, ”The painting process aside, I will give 85 points for the quality of the painting alone.”
As soon as he uttered these words, a sigh was heard in the stadium. All the Huaxia people were slightly disappointed. They had originally thought that Qin Haodong would work miracles again and defeat the guy from Nihon, but it was still a draw.
Although the Nihon side had failed to win, they were very satisfied with the result. They had finally earned a point, even though the score seemed embarrassing and disgraceful.
Qin Haodong was calm. No emotional changes were visible on his face. In his opinion, Gompos' grade was fair. Indeed, the quality of this painting alone was equal to that of He Lizhi's Peony Painting. However, his process and means of painting had been better than He Lizhi's.
Even people who didn't know how to paint could see that Qin Haodong's creation was a picture painted by a dog. Qin Haodong hadn't even touched the brush. The score of this painting was the same as that of He Lizhi's Peony Painting, but He Lizhi had lost anyway.
It was shameful for a man to draw with a dog anyway!
Gompos went on to announce, ”I declare this painting competition a draw.”
Just as everyone thought the game was over, He Lizhi suddenly stood up and cried, ”Mr. Gompos, I don't agree with you. I think I won this competition.”
All the people present were stunned. Even Yagyuu Hirai had not expected that He Lizhi would object. Everyone could see that Qin Haodong had won the match. He was lucky that he had earned the one point of the draw.
Gompos frowned and said, ”Mr. He, can you give me a reason?”
He Lizhi used logic and said, ”You saw that the key of this painting was the last step. Without that, it would not even have been a painting.
That painting was actually drawn by one person and one dog. The two of them together scored the same as me. Based on this point, I should have won.”
Everyone was bewildered. They had not expected that He Lizhi would be this shameless. He was extremely shameless.
”Shameless... He is so shameless...”
”Traitor, you should be ashamed...”
”He Lizhi, I'll give you ten dogs. If you have the ability, you can work together with them to create a painting...”
Tang Qingzhi stared at him angrily and scolded him. ”He is really conscienceless. Can't he see that brother Qin is better than him at painting attainments?”
Gao Fengwen said, ”It's not surprising. If he knew that this was shameful, he would not have forgotten about his ancestors and done such a thing.”
Gompos frowned. In his heart, he also felt that He's request was shameless. However, on the surface, Qin Haodong's painting had indeed been completed through cooperation.
Generally speaking, as long as a painting was done by one person, it could no longer be touched by others. They painter could not even be advised by other people.
The dog had stepped on the Plum Blossom Painting first. Qin Haodong had then completed the painting with an ingenious shake. Both of them had been indispensable.
He Lizhi once again cried, ”It's not fair that a work created by cooperation is compared with a work created by me alone.”
Qin Haodong glanced at him and asked, ”According to your intentions, how can it be fair?”
He Lizhi said, ”You got the same score as me only by cooperating with someone else. It's very simple. You lost the competition.”
Then, he shouted at the audience, ”Bring me a knife and I'll cut off his hands!”
Upon hearing his shout, someone immediately brought him a small kodachi.
The whole audience went into an uproar again. This shameless guy had clearly lost, but he wanted to cut off Qin Haodong's hands. This was too much.
Yagyuu Hirai smiled again and said, ”The Huaxia people's shamelessness is beyond my imagination. I like it, though!”
He had predicted that Qin Haodong would become the enemy of the whole country of Nihon in the future. If He Lizhi could cut off Qin Haodong's hands, he would like to see this. Whether the process was shameless or not did not matter at all.
Gompos, who could not watch anymore, said, ”Mr. He, I think a draw would be the best result for this competition.”
He had just figured out that a dog couldn't draw. This painting was Qin Haodong's work. On the surface, this seemed like a cooperation between a man and a dog. However, in fact, the young man's painting level had reached a very high level of attainment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved this. The draw was also in He Lizhi's favor.
In this case, it was shameless of him to want to cut off Qin Haodong's hands. As a painting devotee, he naturally did not want to see Qin Haodong, who was a painting genius, stop here.
He wanted to use the authority of the referee to insist on declaring the game a draw. However, Qin Haodong said, ”Mr. He, you have your reasons for saying that. Even though I cooperated to complete this painting, could you admit your defeat?”
”Defeat?” He Lizhi sneered and said, ”I'm a reasonable person. If you had scored higher than my Peony Painting, I would naturally have admitted my defeat. However, your collaborative work earned the same score with my work. You can only admit that I won.”
