$758 million in manual costs

Liu Heming slept very well this night, not only because it took a lot of effort to strike iron, but also because through yesterday's ironwork, all the depressed qi that had accumulated in his chest these days was also smashed out.
Even if he has no heart and lungs, and others criticize Alex, he will be angry. And what happened last time was more or less due to his negligence.
"Daddy, Daddy, get up, that uncle came to you again yesterday. Alex, who had been guarding his bedside, saw him open his eyes and hurriedly said.
"You're not tired, it's okay for them to be taken care of. Liu Heming glanced at his baby girl and said helplessly.
Alex holds the wallabies in his arms and has a white tail squatting on his shoulder. The wallabies are holding Barbie and the two koalas are holding Alex's two legs.
"Dad, Alex wants to exercise like Dad. But I can't bring the pouches that my dad tied, so it's just right to use them. Alex said happily.
"You're still exercising, and you're going to be a robot when you walk with them. Liu Heming sat up and pinched the little guy's nose.
The little guy closed his eyes and shook his head, and he had made up his mind to exercise.
After a brief wash, when I came downstairs, I saw Sasha chatting with Orino Yasuda in the living room with a little trouble.
"Mr. Yasuda, didn't you sleep well yesterday? Liu Heming asked with a smile.
"Liu Sang, I'm so excited. That little knife is really amazing. Yasuda Orino said.
"I'm going to polish that long knife this morning and put it on the handle. However, you will need to take care of the shipping back to Japan. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.
For Yasuda Ono, he still recognizes it. If it weren't for him, the land he bought in Japan would never have gone so well.
Judging from the information brought back by Susanna, the land over there is very good. Even if you don't use fertilizer to improve the soil, with the addition of the title of farmer, you will be able to plant it smoothly next year.
I have to pay a lot of attention to arable land in Japan, and that land is usually very well maintained.
It doesn't mean that if you fertilize every year, the soil will be very plantable. It also depends on how the crops you sow each year are matched, and you also give the land time to recuperate.
After eating some breakfast casually, Liu Heming took Yasuda Orino to the blacksmith shop again to sharpen the long knife.
Liu Heming himself has a feeling that these two knives are the pinnacle of his current technology, and they are much stronger in performance than the kitchen knives he built for himself.
He couldn't tell why, but he had such a feeling, otherwise he wouldn't have smashed these blades again with a small hammer yesterday.
What surprised him a little was that when it was built yesterday, it was understandable that there were so many people watching, but now that there are still many people watching the knife sharpening, he is a little incomprehensible.
"Mr. Dexter, can you try the knife today?" Seeing Liu Heming look up, one of the tourists asked loudly.
"This knife is not mine, but this Mr. Yasuda Oino, so if you can try the knife, you have to ask him. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"No problem, Dexter, you can decide for yourself. Yasuda Orino said from the side.
"Alright then, there's one last pass left, just put on the handle after grinding. Liu Heming nodded absently.
He is still very confident in his craft, and since he has made it, he is not afraid to test the knife. In the past two days, his ability has grown a lot, and his personality has taken on a little tsundere.
At the end of the last grinding, I installed the handle of the knife that had been prepared in advance, and waved the knife twice, and I was basically satisfied. The only dissatisfaction was the weight of the knife, which was somewhat light in his hands.
"Mr. Yasuda, this is your knife, so I'll leave it to you to try the knife. Liu Heming sent the handle of the knife to Orino Yasuda.
Yasuda Orino rubbed his hands with excitement and took the long knife very solemnly. Even though his fingers were still wrapped in bandages and still hurt a little, he grabbed the handle of the knife hard.
A few gentle swings made him forget the pain in his fingers with excitement.
"Try it with this. Liu Heming casually picked up an iron rod with a thick finger on the side and inserted it into the ground.
"Liu Sang, or let's test it with wood. "Yasuda Orino is a little tangled.
Whether the knife was sharp or not, he liked it now, and he was worried that the iron rod would damage the blade. This is an iron rod, not a hollow steel pipe.
"It's okay, just use your best strength to slash through it. If the knife isn't sharp enough, I'll rebuild it for you. Liu Heming said indifferently, and made a gesture of please.
Yasuda Orino brewed his emotions for a moment, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and gently drove the long knife a few times.
"Hi"
With a shout from Yasuda Oino, the long knife was raised and slashed diagonally at the iron bar.
He really used all his strength, but his strength was still a little less. The long knife waved, and instead of cutting the iron rod directly, it slashed into it, with a depth of more than a centimeter.
Liu Heming walked over, pinched the back of the knife with his fingers, and took out the knife, and Yasuda Orino also looked at the blade in distress. The contact point that had just been split diagonally was still extremely smooth, and there was not even a trace of it.
"Liu Sang, Liu Sang......" Yasuda Orino grabbed Liu Heming's arm excitedly, he didn't know what to say.
"I'll try it this time. Liu Heming grabbed the long knife in his hand.
Instead of holding the knife with both hands like Yasuda Oino, the long knife in his right hand seemed to be very casually slashed, and the iron rod in front of him was directly cut in half.
Is it an iron rod, or an iron rod nearly two centimeters thick, and it was cut so easily. If everyone hadn't been watching, and there was Yasuda Orino's knife at the beginning, they would definitely think that this was a fraud.
What kind of effect would such a sharp knife have if it were to cut at a person's body? I'm afraid that even ordinary people can directly cut people off with it.
"Mr. Yasuda, I have fulfilled my promise. At least in my opinion, the knife is still qualified. Liu Heming handed the knife back to Yasuda Orino and said.
Yasuda Orino nodded hurriedly, this knife was also the sharpest long knife he had ever seen.
"Mr. Dexter, how much does it cost to build such a knife?" asked the onlookers curiously.
"The price will be a little more expensive, the materials are buried, and the manual cost is about 10 million US dollars. And it depends on my mood, even if I am in a bad mood, even if I am given more money, I am too lazy to fight. Liu Heming said.
Hearing his words, the onlookers began to consciously inhale into their mouths.
This price is a bit crazy, tens of millions of dollars a knife, isn't this really a joke? But looking at Yasuda Oino's expression, it actually gives people a very cheap feeling.
It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world seems to be a little too crazy.
"Liu Sang, please give this knife a name. After putting the long knife into the scabbard, Orino Yasuda said very solemnly.
"Let's call it Kokumaru, anyway, the mark on the knife is our bear children. Liu Heming said casually.
He said it easily, but Orino Yasuda really valued it.
It's a matter of attitude, he admires the samurai spirit, and he also attaches great importance to this sword. He knew that Kokumamaru was not famous yet, but in the future, he would definitely become a real famous sword. Even he had a feeling that this knife could be compared to those of the legends.
Liu Heming washed his hands casually, and then walked back.
He didn't know that the processing fee of his tens of millions of dollars for a knife just now suddenly set off a small upsurge on the Internet.
Many people were really frightened by Liu Heming's bidding, 10 million US dollars, how many people can hardly earn enough in their lifetime. And you can make 10 million dollars just by making a knife? I'm sure I'm not kidding.
Some people think it's hype and a gimmick. However, some people also have a better understanding of Liu Heming's asking price, because the little bear pills that Liu Heming has ground today are really worth this price.
It's the equivalent of a work of art, some of which can fetch tens of millions of dollars because people love it. And if this long knife falls into the hands of people who like it, especially those who have money, it may really not be sold for tens of millions of dollars.
To paraphrase a popular phrase, art is priceless.
Liu Heming's knife-making skills are very high, and he has definitely reached the master level, otherwise it will be difficult for you to have such a performance even if you use the best materials. Coupled with Liu Heming's current identity, he is also one of the billionaires, and the things made by such people will naturally increase the value a little.
So they feel that the price is really not expensive. As long as you have good materials, the fee is well spent.
Moreover, the iron rod that had just been tested was also shot by two lucky tourists, and a recent photo of the section was taken. The cross-section is so smooth that it looks as if it has been polished.
This also proves from the side that this knife is really sharp, otherwise you would never be able to cut such a section. And everyone saw the process of Liu Heming's chopping just now, and for these people at the scene, they were even more shocked.
One of the two lucky tourists, after taking a picture of the iron bar, put it up for auction online. At first, there were not many people paying attention, but after half an hour, the price began to soar to $140.
To the surprise of this tourist, he just put it on the Internet for fun, and the starting price was only one dollar. Now he doesn't know if he will bid back again, what if he loses money?
