Chapter 214: Story
"Can't cut?" Yuan Yimin raised his eyebrows, "If it really can't be cut, Mr. Store Manager shouldn't just praise it now, right?" So I guess this 'source stone', although it is a little difficult to deal with, is it not as helpless as you said? ”
Unexpectedly, this kid observed so carefully, and the shopkeeper could only nod helplessly after looking up at Yuan Yimin: "Yes, this thing can indeed be cut and polished, but it must be sharpened into such a small slice with human spiritual power, what level do you think the strength of the maker's mental power will be?" How long will it take to polish the edges of this thing so smooth? What's more, if I'm not mistaken, you little guy should get more than just that, right? ”
Yuan Yimin smiled and did not answer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hmph, asking for guidance is still hidden." Although he was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Yimin's attitude, now that he had opened the chatterbox, it was obviously not so easy to take it back.
I just heard the shopkeeper continue: "In my years of experience, this piece of metal should be one of the parts that assemble some kind of object. It's just that what exactly is the finished product and why the source stone is needed is really a puzzling thing. I'm afraid that only after finding all the parts and assembling the finished product can we deduce its function. ”
Yuan Yimin's eyes couldn't help but pass through a touch of disappointment.
The shopkeeper was the man he could remember most about parts and weapons making, and if he didn't even know what it was for, it would be a real problem.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Yimin continued to ask, "I wonder if Mr. Store Manager can explain the characteristics of the source stone in detail?" ”
"Sourcestone...... "Uncle with a scruffy beard fell into memory for a moment, "I was also a manufacturing apprentice, and I worked as a logistics repair crew on a starship with my teacher. Then one day, the starship encountered a wormhole, and after several spatial warps, we arrived on an unknown planet. ”
"At that time, the starship was seriously damaged, and in order to repair the starship, we asked the natives of the planet for help, and it was at that time that I saw the 'Source Stone' for the first time."
"The local natives regard the 'source stone' that cannot be destroyed by ordinary means as their 'holy stone', and my teacher, in order to explore the composition of the 'holy stone', when he touched the source stone, he probed into some spiritual power, and as a result, the source stone turned into powder in front of everyone's eyes......"
Ye Mingzhe listened attentively, but after imagining such a situation, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that ......?"
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Mingzhe, nodded slightly, and said, "You guessed right, those natives think that my teacher destroyed the 'Holy Stone' and regarded all of us starship owners as heretics, and their leader even proposed that only by burning my teacher at the stake can the lives of the rest of the people be spared." ”
Needless to say, since the shopkeeper is now sitting in front of them, there is no need to mention what happened to this past event.
After a moment of silence, the shopkeeper continued: "Because I was unwilling to let my teacher die for no reason, before leaving that planet, I secretly went to the birthplace of the holy stone that the natives said and secretly cut a 'source stone' down. Over the years, I have studied the stone from time to time, but I have not found anything other than the superficial properties of the thing. ”
"Didn't you think about making this stone into something?" Meng Sichang feels that it is impossible for a manufacturer to be indifferent to new materials, and there will definitely be a lot of ideas.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Source stone is not compatible with other materials, and it cannot be mixed with other metals to improve the hardness and toughness of the material. This means that if you want to make an item out of Source Stone, you can only use the material itself. ”
"And the only way to polish the source stone is to ...... spiritual power," Yuan Yimin said thoughtfully, "According to Mr. Storekeeper's meaning, if the spiritual power is not used properly, the source stone will turn into powder, could it be that this is the reason why Mr. discarded the source stone and did not use it?" ”
"Ha, I'm not as prescient as you think." The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, "When I first got the Source Stone, I was hollowed out to create something to commemorate my mentor. It's a pity that my spiritual power back then was far inferior to now, and a three-cubic-meter source stone was wasted by me to the size of a fist. Later, there were more failures, and there were not many materials left, so I had to rest those whimsical thoughts. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Now that it's in the past, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his previous lazy appearance, "The story is over, can the little guy tell me where this thing in your hand came from?" ”
"Ahem, I picked it up on the road."
This answer was so outrageous that the shopkeeper's eyes widened suddenly, and he trembled with anger: "You kid still don't tell the truth after listening to the story?" ”
Although Yuan Yimin really didn't tell the truth, the way of this part was not clear to Yuan Yu, the person who handled it, so there was nothing wrong with saying that it was picked up.
It's just that, perhaps because of listening to the story, Yuan Yimin's answer to himself was naturally not as straightforward as at the beginning, and he could only explain: "I really don't know where this thing came from, but according to my guess, the way it came from shouldn't be very right, so it's not easy to answer." ”
After a moment of silence, the shopkeeper finally sighed: "Forget it, I only answered one of your initial questions. I don't want to be troubled here, don't you say I can sleep for a few days. It's just that I've told you so many things that I can't say anything without getting paid. ”
Yuan Yimin nodded: "That's natural, if you have any requirements, Mr. Store Manager can say it directly." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "You are not afraid of my lion opening his mouth." ”
"I don't think Mr. Store Manager will let our three children do anything outrageous," Yuan Yimin said unhurriedly, "Or, do you think it's necessary to invite parents?" ”
Ye Mingzhe and Meng Sichang glanced at each other, if they didn't understand Yuan Yimin's meaning wrongly...... If the shopkeeper agrees with Yuan Yimin's suggestion, he will definitely go to Shan Rongtao to come over, right?
Fortunately, the shopkeeper had no intention of letting the parents pay compensation, and shook his head and said, "You don't have to be afraid that I will tell others about this." If you hadn't come to the door with the Source Stone, I wouldn't have talked to you so much. So, if you can gather all the parts of the assembly item later, can you give it to me to assemble it? ”
