Chapter 51: Ideation
There are two more injuries at once, and the entrusted task cannot be taken for the time being. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. With nothing to do, Du Yuhan plans to pack up the materials on his body in order to prepare for the later model master competition.
The items that were rummaged out of the spatial ring were randomly stacked on the table, as small as the eyeballs and fur of various low-level demonic beasts, such as the blood-red Gale Rabbit Eyeballs and the blue-green Ten Thousand Flying Squirrel Nails; The backbone of the rock snake is as large as reddish, the beige horns of the woodman ox, and the miscellaneous herbs and ores, and a lot of various seasonings used in cooking.
Looking at this large pile of miscellaneous materials, he felt a little embarrassed. I didn't expect to accumulate so many things in the past few months, and I have never been in the habit of tidying up, and I don't know the use of these materials.
It seems that he can only sort by category first. Sighing in annoyance, Du Yuhan resigned himself to his fate and began to do it.
He basically didn't know anything about herbs and ores, so he was very self-aware to sort them out first, so that Kevin could take over. While cleaning up the ore, there was a thud and a black stone fell to the ground, attracting his attention.
Well? What is it?
The stone was pitch black throughout, and it looked like it was wrapped in a layer of bright and transparent glass stone, and the texture was delicate to the touch; The rock layer material inside is layered, and the color changes from dark blue to dark purple, which at first glance looks like a strange pattern. Gently shake the stone, and the texture slowly sways like some kind of viscous liquid.
If you put it in the sun, the light will reflect colorful light through the rocks, casting brilliant spots on the ground. Du Yuhan was surprised, he thought it was just an ordinary black stone, but he didn't expect it to have such good light transmittance. I suddenly remembered that this was the strange ore buried underneath when I was mining wood and stone before.
No wonder the whole cave was colorful at that time, he thought that this was the original attribute of the windwood stone material, but he didn't expect it to be the effect of this stone, it seems that he has picked up a treasure.
Du Yuhan instantly fell in love with this stone, and played with it carefully.
This stone is so dark, what is it made of? He remembered that this ore couldn't even extract its material from the library, and for the time being, he really hadn't encountered anything other than creatures that couldn't extract materials.
Could it be that his rank is too low?
No, extracting materials has nothing to do with rank.
Could it be that the series of this library is too low?
Probably not.,Yesterday I heard the waiter's introduction.,I don't seem to have heard that the library has a progression.,Only heard that the bracelet will be graded.γ
Speaking of bracelets, he thought of Kared's inky black bracelet again, which looked a little similar to this ore, but the bracelet on the other side must be the highest-grade marble stone. What did the waiter say? All-over pitch black sparkling ......
Bracelet...... Rank ...... Material?
Hey?
Du Yuhan stared at the stone of the bracelet with wide eyes, and his face showed sluggishness, surprise, doubt, and unbelievable surprise.
Could it be that this is the legendary top-notch Xuanyun stone?!
No way?! Is this too unscientific? Where did he get his good luck! How can you get this legendary ore?! Whoa! This is to turn over the salted fish! His family has a lot of money, and his wives and concubines are in groups, and the peak of his life is coming? !
Holding the black stone in both hands, he suppressed the urge to look up to the sky and laugh, but after he was obsessed with the full life of the future, his hot head cooled down.
A person who can even cross a wrestling, how can such a good thing be his turn? How could the legendary ore be so easily poked out by him by eating a bee chrysalis? Besides, even if this is really a legendary Xuanyun stone, for oneself who can't urge the fighting spirit, it can't even stimulate the bracelet, let alone use it to model it.
Although it was a pity, Du Yuhan thought very openly, since he couldn't use it, he had to give full play to its value, such as hanging it up at the auction house in the town for money or something. If it is a dark cloud stone, it is excellent, if not, with the shape and rarity of this ore, you can also go to the jeweler to create a pendant, I believe it will also be welcomed by many nobles.
Thinking about this, he decided to leave the stone behind and find a time to find out the jewelry market.
Finally sorted the remaining materials, Du Yuhan shook off the registration materials for the model master competition and studied it.
"Hmm...... Made, what shape is fixed, what spring water......" put the paper to the tip of his nose, squinted and recognized it for a long time, he gave up. Resignedly, he pulled Kevin, who was tidying up the study, over as a translator, and looking at Kevin's meaningful expression, he wanted to dig a hole and get in.
He admits that he really has no talent for learning, and he is still illiterate after so long......
The registration requirements for the competition are very simple, the applicant only needs to make a model, and after the model is submitted to the organizer for review, the participants who pass the competition can receive a notification and enter the next round of semi-finals.
The requirements for the entries are also very simple, the shape and material of the model are customized, there is no limit on the number of faces and style, but there must be one of the following materials - poisonous silk grass, purple jade, giant spirit spring water, frost stone.
"What kind of materials are these?" Du Yuhan wrinkled his eyebrows, he had never heard of any of the materials here, and he had no way to start collecting them.
Why don't you just buy it?
Since the last time he went to the model mall, he had completely broken up the idea of buying materials, and even if he won this competition, it was estimated that he would not have enough money to buy one of the above materials.
"Poisonous silk grass is a relatively rare alchemy material, although it is not as rare as Cheng dΓΉ, but it takes a little effort to buy it; This purple jade and frost stone are one of the necessary materials for forging high-level weapons, and it is not difficult to buy them, but we are estimated to be unable to afford this price. Finally, Kevin pointed to the parchment, "As for this djinn spring......"
"How? Isn't this expensive and rare? Du Yuhan asked nervously, after all, the first three were hopeless, and he could only put the bet on the last one.
"In the past, it wasn't that hard." Kevin paused in embarrassment. "Just ...... now"
"How's it going?"
Seeing Du Yuhan's anxious and nervous expression, Kevin could only sigh silently in his heart.
The water is produced from the Giant Spring in the town of Bede, located on the hill behind the cathedral. This spring water is mild, can maximize the effect of the medicine, belongs to the high-grade medicine, and the difficulty of obtaining is not high, only need to line up in the Knights of the Holy Light in the Cathedral of Bede, has always been widely popular with civilians.
But this is only a series of events that have occurred since it happened, and compared to other materials that can be solved for a little money, this spring water is the most difficult to obtain.
After listening to Du Yuhan, it was clear that last time they were just a little close to Bede Town, they were chased by mutated monsters all over the map, if they really went to Bede Town to get spring water, they didn't know if they could come back.
Is it really destined that he will not be able to participate in the competition? Du Yuhan frowned.
"Han ......" couldn't see his lover's disappointed expression, Kevin held Du Yuhan's hand, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
He knew how persistent Du Yuhan had always been to modeling, how much he yearned for the profession of modeler, and when he knew that he could participate in the competition as a modeler, his eyes sparkled and his joy was revealed. Can ...... now
Seeing Kevin's worried look, Du Yuhan showed a big smile, and in turn comforted the other party: "Don't worry, I'm fine." This material is much better than the previous ones, and even if you can't get it, you can still buy it. β
He had already thought about it, since it was not difficult to obtain this spring water before, there should be a lot of surplus goods in circulation on the market, and it was estimated that the price would be a little more expensive, but it would not be too expensive...... Right? And anyway, there are still three months to prepare, so I can't buy these materials from some other sources.
"Hmm." Kevin had secretly decided that the materials on his body could also be used to make some magic array scrolls, and when the time came, he could sell them to a specially acquired magic supply store, and he should be able to exchange them for a little fee. "And what kind of model are you going to make?"
Du Yuhan thought for a while, he had participated in many of this kind of competitions before. Aside from the material aspect, the theme requires the model to be customized, although there is no requirement for the number of faces and style, but this is precisely the most difficult to control. It is not easy to achieve a unique work that reflects one's own skills and is unique, after all, everyone has an aesthetic standard in their hearts, and maybe they think it looks good, but others don't think so.
In the past, many contestants would try their best to inquire about the preferences of the judges in order to make works that cater to each other's tastes. He is noncommittal about this practice, although it is also a means of gathering information, and he can do what he likes and what others like, and in terms of hobbies, he prefers the former.
For the things he likes, Du Yuhan has his own principles, not to change because of the identity of the other party, he thinks that this may be a kind of pursuit and persistence in art, to say that romance is faith, to put it bluntly is to be confident in his own technology.
Lao Tzu likes this style of work, what's the matter? I don't accept you to beat me!
Because of this character, when he first entered the society, he often ran into a wall, and arguing with his supervisor was a daily routine. Later, the experience was richer, and the person became much softer. He will put forward his own views on the needs of customers and bosses, but if he does not accept them, then he will also do what the other party asks; But if it's his hobby, he'll stumble to the end of whatever he says.
It's been a while since he came to this world, and he has been living under the arrangement and mercy of others, going to school, practicing martial arts, trials, and fleeing, and only the model is his only insistence.
Therefore, this time Du Yuhan decided to do what he wanted.
Generally speaking, biological modeling is the most difficult, and its wiring requirements for the model are also the most demanding.
But that's not to say that non-biological modeling isn't difficult, knowing that a perfect still life is no easier than a biological model. If you want to make an object satisfied, the shape and structure are particularly important.
Du Yuhan thought about it again and again, felt that each had its own advantages, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he consulted Kevin's opinion, "What do you think?" β
Kevin shook his head: "I don't know much about models, but personally, I'd be more into conflict." β
"Conflict?" Du Yuhan frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Yes." Kevin stretched out his two hands, stirring up the magic in his body and condensing a magic on his fingertips, but he was in a state of agitation but not emotion. The golden energy of the left hand slowly flowed, emitting a soft light; The dark purple particles in his right hand were wrapped in layers, revealing a deep aura. He clasped his hands together, and the bright white and pitch-black energies intertwined, collided, blended, and quickly split, as if they were fused into one, and yet they were mutually exclusive.
Conflict?
Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, and a few thoughts flashed through his mind.
He couldn't wait to take a piece of waste paper, scribble on it with a few strokes, and sketch the outline of a monster with a human face and a beast body. He took up the pen and revised it, but he was not satisfied, so he shook his head and crossed it out again, and reimagined it.
Seeing Du Yuhan drawing a sketch with a focused expression, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while, Kevin looked at the other party's masculine side face with a smile on the side, and gently took the door and left the room.
*********
Time passed slowly, and the sky outside gradually darkened. It wasn't until Du Yuhan once again rejected the design he had just made that he suddenly found that the room was already dark, and it was already night.
Stretching hard, he stood up and moved his sore shoulder. It's been a long time since I've sketched for such a long time, and although it's a little tiring, he feels fulfilling.
Anyway, Kevin hasn't called for dinner yet, so he can just continue to think about it. Just as he was lighting the menorah, the door was pushed open.
"Yo, can you get out of bed?" Looking at Heywood, who was wrapped like a mummy, reclining against the wooden door, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and quipped.
After two days of recuperation, Heywood was tormented by the special bitter medicine. In addition, he is a character who can't be idle, but he can only lie down obediently and can't move, which makes every time he changes the dressing.
"The sissy told you to come over." Without time to pay attention to Du Yuhan's teasing, Heywood rolled her eyes, limped around and walked away with a cane.
Oh? Kevin called him over, and he actually asked Heywood to take it? "What's going on?"
"The man woke up."
