The model mall is located on the northwest side of the city, and unlike other shops, it is not a bustling business district, but a quiet office area. On the left is the heavily guarded military area, on the right is the scholarly academic area, and the pure white model building is in the middle of the two areas.

The mall has a simple appearance, the architectural style is simple and elegant, and the exterior walls are made of white bricks and stones, which looks like a huge white mold from a distance. The eight statues of tigers and snakes that surround the building are lifelike, and in that empty and quiet atmosphere, they are both solemn and magnificent.

Legend has it that these eight statues are actually a huge moat, and when the town is attacked, the large array is activated, and the model golems placed around the main city are automatically activated to annihilate the alien invaders.

The model mall is very large, the first half is the commodity material area open to the public, and the second half is a place specially opened by the city lord for the office research of middle and high-level model artists. And the advanced trial of the model artist is also carried out here.

When Du Yuhan and the others entered the mall, they were shocked by the high-end atmosphere inside.

As with the exterior buildings, the interior furnishings are not luxurious, but each piece of decoration is in the right place, with abstract lines outlined in unknown materials on the walls and soft blue light shining inside. Powered by magic, the glowing balls floated on the roof, casting a beige halo of light, and the whole space looked elegant and plain, if it weren't for the various goods on the cabinets, they thought this was an art gallery at all.

Rao is a man like Du Yuhan, who is five big and three coarse, is bluffed lightly by this elegant atmosphere.

Along the way, I have heard many people say that how rare and promising the model artist is, he has no sense of substitution. But now it seems that compared with other professions of architecture, the importance that modelers receive can be imagined.

There are a wide variety of products in the mall, including modeling bracelets of different shapes, wooden turntables to assist in modeling, carving tools for repairing shapes, and special straws for weighing materials. However, the most numerous are glass bottles filled with various materials.

Du Yuhan walked to a display case, picked up a tool that he didn't know what it was for, and said to Kevin next to him in a low voice: "Things here don't look cheap at all." ”

Glancing at the price on the label, the three large zeros in front of the decimal point deeply stimulated his retina, and Kevin seconded the head, "It's really expensive." ”

Why is everything here dead expensive? The point is that I don't know what the use of buying it is. In his opinion, isn't modeling just a bracelet and a library? What else can these things do?

Looking at this almost terrifying price, Du Yuhan gradually developed inflation worries in his heart. Originally, I thought that the five thousand on my body were quite durable, but who knew that in comparison, I was still a poor egg.

However, what they don't know is that for real modelers, some high-end model products can be much higher than this price, and these thousands of gold coins are like playing for them.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a poster hanging on the wall, which had no sign other than a few words that looked like a date.

"It's a start and end date for registration for an event, but I don't say what it is, it looks like a competition." Kevin frowned.

Race?

Is this the promotional poster for the event?

Why is it hanging here?

According to Du Yuhan's understanding, in order for the masses to actively participate, the organizers generally publicize the content of the competition and the rewards with great fanfare, why does this poster look so low-key? Don't even have an advertising slogan?

While the two were trying to guess the content of the poster, a well-dressed waiter walked over with a smile.

"Gentlemen, can I help you?"

Du Yuhan looked at the elegant waiter, and had to sigh sincerely, it is worthy of a model mall, and even the painting style of the shopkeeper is different from the others.

"What kind of poster is that?" He gestured to the poster hanging on the wall.

The waiter looked surprised, "That's the registration poster for the model artist competition in Lindot Country, don't you know, sir?" ”

"I've only been here for a short time, so I don't know much about it." Du Yuhan smiled embarrassedly, "Can you briefly introduce it?" ”

In order to discover more talented modelers, Lindote hosts an amateur modeler competition every three years. Regardless of the rank, participants can register in all the main cities above level 3.

The competition schedule is divided into two parts, namely the regional selection competition and the overall regional finals.

The sub-division selection competition adopts the mode of elimination, which is mainly divided into audition, re-selection and promotion selection. The top three players in the division will represent the region and enter the finals of the overall division with other regions, and finally compete for the title of best amateur modeler.

Because of the support of the royal family, the model master who wins the title will not only be richly rewarded, but will also be promoted to the rank of knight, and even if he fails to win the championship, he may be appreciated by a certain city lord in the process of the competition and be reused. As a result, this competition is a national event in the modeling industry, and many middle and low-level modelers will cherish this opportunity to get ahead.

The conditions for the entry are also very simple, only need to deliver the last specified model within the registration time. As for the later competitions, there will be different competition requirements.

Due to the large number of people in Lindot, each competition has to go through layers of screening, and it is not easy to hold a competition, so the competition is held every three years, and there are still two years to start preparations.

There are three months left to mark the deadline for registration.

After listening, Du Yuhan was eager to try.

Model Contest! Add an official to the knighthood! Huge bonuses!

He suddenly felt that there was a broad road to the winner of life paved in front of him!

No, you have to start preparing now!

After taking the information of the competition from the service industry, Du Yuhan planned to buy some tools and go back to prepare for a big job.

"I want to buy some tools." He was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Sorry sir, we're here for modelers." After observing each other's clothes up and down, the waiter's eyes showed a faint trace of disdain, but the smile on his face was still undiminished, "If you need professional supplies for warriors or magicians, you can go to the commercial street in the South District." ”

How could Du Yuhan, who was as shrewd as Du Yuhan, miss the other party's eyes, he raised half of his eyebrows, and looked at the other party with his hands on his chest, "Oh? What if I just need to buy a modeling tool? ”

Hearing this, the waiter's expression froze, and he unconsciously aimed at Du Yuhan's left wrist, but he did not see the bracelet representing the identity of the model master. But good vocational training made him put on a decent smile again, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and owed a debt, "Please forgive me for my faux pas, may I ask what do you two need?" ”

Hmph, the dog's eyes look down on people. Du Yuhan snorted coldly, "I want to buy a modeling bracelet." ”

"Okay, please come with me." The waiter led the two to a circular display case with various bracelets floating on it, "May I ask what your rank is......"

Rank? Du Yuhan lowered his head and thought about it, he had never considered this question.

There was no doubt that he could now make all kinds of low-level items, although the time he was hunted down, he didn't know why he could use his fighting spirit to grab the life energy of others. But I heard that Kared say that making zuò magic spells is a mid-level skill, so he definitely won't be able to do this; I've heard before that high-level modelers can create any nodes, and he can't do this anymore.

Excluding this, I should only be a beginner modeler, right?

Seeing that the other party had been silent, a trace of impatience flashed on the waiter's face. He doesn't look like an intermediate level, he just wants to be a rookie who has just started, and he doesn't want to waste any more time, so he picked up a pale yellow bracelet and handed it to Du Yuhan, "Can you see if this is suitable?" ”

Du Yuhan didn't quite understand the connection between the bracelet and the grade, and he found that the bracelets on the display case were dark and light, and the one placed in the middle was a mouse-gray bracelet.

"Why are these bracelets different in color?"

Although he was very disdainful of answering such a novice question, the waiter still patiently explained to him.

The modeler's modeling needs to stimulate the fighting energy in the body, and the function of the bracelet is to convert this fighting energy into a special energy, which is condensed into the most basic material of the white mold - the material. Bracelets of different materials can withstand different amounts of fighting energy, and the conversion rate of energy is also different. Generally speaking, the darker the color of the bracelet, the higher the grade, not only the higher the conversion rate of fighting energy, but also the stronger the energy converted.

The higher the level of the bracelet, the more Dou Qi it can withstand, but in contrast, the more Dou Qi needs to be activated. If only the beginner-level Dou Qi uses the high-level bracelet, it won't even be able to activate the bracelet at all; On the contrary, if you have a high-level Dou Qi but use a low-level bracelet, not only will the energy of the model nodes created be greatly reduced, but the bracelet will also burst because it cannot withstand this large amount of Dou Qi.

Therefore, only by using a bracelet that matches your own level can you make the most of it.

According to the waiter's introduction, the rat-gray bracelet in the center is made of the highest grade gray feather stone in the store, which can not only withstand the powerful fighting spirit of high-level model artists, but also further improve the conversion speed of fighting energy.

In this case, the darker the bracelet, the more advanced it is? Du Yuhan's eyes rolled, and he remembered Kared's jet-black bracelet, "Then what is the world's top bracelet made of?" ”

"The top one must be Master Hill's marble bracelet." Speaking of the legendary treasure, the waiter showed a dreamy expression, "Legend has it that the bracelet is pitch black and glows golden in the dark. Having it, whether it is a spell or a node, its energy is incomparable to that of all materials. ”

"Oh? Is that kind of Xuanyu stone very expensive? Du Yuhan rubbed his chin.

Hearing this, the waiter flashed a wisp of disdain, "Xuanyun stone is a legendary ore, which has a price and cannot be measured by money. ”

"Hmm...... "Then it seems that Kared's bracelet should be made of Xuanyun, no wonder he would be so precious to keep it." Du Yuhan brought the bracelet as he said, and then stared at the waiter.

Du Yuhan: ......

Waiter:......

"Sir, how about you try this bracelet."

Try? Du Yuhan looked innocent, "How to try?" ”

...... "He has now determined that the other party is definitely a novice rookie!" You can activate this bracelet by activating the fighting spirit. ”

Feeling the deep contempt from the waiter, Du Yuhan scratched his face shamefully. For the profession of model engineer, he can be regarded as self-taught, and there is indeed a lot to learn, so he is also recognized by others who look down on him.

Du Yuhan's crimson face made Kevin can't help but laugh, and he pinched Du Yuhan's hand without a trace to cheer the other party up.

Without thinking about it, Du Yuhan held his breath and concentrated, and began to stimulate the fighting qi in his body, slowly running around his body with the meridians. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the bracelet, only to find that there was no response.

Du Yuhan was stunned.

What's going on?

He tried to activate the fighting qi again, but until his cheeks turned crimson, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and the bracelet still didn't move.

What the hell is going on here? Why is this bracelet not responding?

Seeing this, Kevin couldn't help frowning.

Although Du Yuhan has modeled very few times, the model he made is what he has seen with his own eyes, why does this bracelet not react at all?

In this case, the waiter was also puzzled. He took another pair of bracelets and tried them on, but nothing happened.

Seeing this, the waiter understood that these two people were not modelers at all! He felt annoyed by the teasing, "I said this gentleman, I have warned you before, this is a service for modelers. If you don't know where the other job malls are, you can ask the guards and they will be happy to answer for you. ”

didn't have the heart to deal with the chattering waiter, the two exchanged glances, and Du Yuhan pulled Kevin and hurriedly walked out of the mall.
