Chapter 13, Four-Star Kika
His eyes were focused on the display screen on the machine in front of him, and Qingyin steadily manipulated the drive device with both hands, shining a white light above the machine on a card placed on the glass in the center of the machine, with meticulous and precise movements.
Qingyin is now in the practice room of the branch of the card making department, because it is a lunch break, there are only a few hard-working students in the entire classroom of the University, distributed in all corners, each operating a modifier, the back of the base card that has been depicted is accurately modified, and this is the last procedure of the base card manufacturing.
A week has passed since the condensation of the boundary ring, and Qingyin, who concealed the secret, once again devoted himself to the study of card-making skills, and the sensory improvement brought by the condensation of the boundary ring made him completely master the manufacturing process of the four-star base card, just today, he has successfully completed the production of a four-star base card from the prototype to the back pattern depiction, and only the last step remains.
Through the display of the machine, the clear sound can clearly see the irregularities on each back line, which is smaller than a trace of flaws, which are unavoidable when manually portraying, and must be modified by a two-dimensional reality microscopic modifier.
This kind of machine is also a key technology that can be mass-produced by the base card below the three-star level, which can move or eliminate the traces on the plane without leaving a trace, not on the material, but on the basis of the technology of using three-dimensional to two-dimensional in a short period of time.
Although the technical reasons of the federation lead to a lot of limitations on the machine, and it is impossible to correct too many mistakes, which leads to the industrial operation of the simple base card below the three-star level, but after the four-star or above, it is impossible to use the process processing of the assembly line.
It is too complicated to involve the back pattern of the base card above four stars, and the texture of the multi-layer three-dimensional structure cannot be processed by intelligent machining, and no matter how precise the machine is, it can only be used as an aid.
After nearly twenty minutes of concentrating on completing the final process, Qingyin's tense body that was manipulating the machine suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly relaxed, turned off the operation of the machine, and pressed a button under the machine, and the cards firmly attached to the platform slowly floated up and popped out of the isolation cover from the platform.
Qingyin reached out and took it off, put it in front of her eyes and carefully observed it for a long time, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Four-star skill-type universal carrier base card, production completed!"
With a little pride in his heart, the cards rotated between his five fingers, playing cool tricks, and then he casually put them in his pocket.
Because the material of the fantasy card is very special and strong, even if it is just a base card, it is not easy to break, and once the back pattern is inscribed, it can only be slightly changed with a two-dimensional modifier, and it is difficult for external forces to affect it, so he is not worried that the base card he just made will be scrapped due to his careless release.
After completing the production of Kika, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart landed steadily, and at this moment Qingyin only felt a burst of relief, but when he walked to the door, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and his expression was a little more helpless.
At the door is a physical screen, and if you want to go out, you have to swipe your student card, and before that, how much material he has used must be truthfully reported on the screen.
The materials of the base card have always been cherished and expensive, and the four-star materials are even more so, although the students of each card making department will be allocated a certain amount of free money every month, but in fact, it is not much, this month his quota has already been used up because of the high intensity of many practices, and the material cost after exceeding the quota needs to be paid by himself.
At this time, he has two options, sell the four-star base card he made to the academy, after deducting the cost, he can still get a lot of material credit, and he can even convert it into the corresponding cash, but after all, this is the first time he has made a four-star base card, which is very commemorative, he really doesn't want to sell, so he can only choose the second method, temporarily in arrears, although it won't last long, and he can't owe too much.
Fortunately, he has mastered the production of three-star base cards, and the success rate is extremely high, and in the next few days, just making three-star base cards and reselling them to the academy is enough to offset the amount owed, at most it is just a little hard, unlike the poor success rate of other students of the same grade, and it is almost impossible to lose money if you think of him making a profit from it.
After all, the Samsung base card can already be purchased from the market, and the Samsung base card school made by the students is only repurchased at the wholesale price in the market for the purpose of not wasting and giving encouragement to the students, and the profit is not big after excluding the cost, don't look at the wholesale price of a finished Samsung base card as high as tens of thousands, but even if the students with a high success rate such as Qingyin can only increase their own quota at most, even if they are tired, don't want to make a lot of money from it.
Of course, the four-star base card is completely different, after all, the four-star base card can not be mass-produced, although due to the rise of card makers and the scarcity of card painters on the market is not very lacking in supply, but the profits are still extremely high, not to mention anything else, so that the Qingyin of ordinary families can easily make a fortune.
However, this will also wait until he can master the four-star card making technology and increase the success rate to more than half.
After swiping the student card, the various materials he selected today and the total price automatically appeared on the screen, and seeing a series of six-digit numbers displayed on the screen and a hint of insufficient balance, Qingyin couldn't help but pout, and the trace of joy in his heart had been thrown out of the clouds.
Clicking on the delayed payment, the door slowly opened and he left with a calm face with a not-so-pleasant step.
Is there a lot of debt? Whoever said this is simply nonsense.
It's not enough, I'm still far away! It's just a four-star base card, and it's not a new four-star fantasy card, so there's nothing to be proud of.
Thinking of this, he paused, thought of something, took out a delicate communicator made of glass, turned out someone's name, and sent out a call request.
"Good afternoon, Senior Keller, didn't disturb your lunch break, did you?"
"I'd love to be polite to you, but I'm taking a nap, and I can say it's not the first time you've disturbed me. My dear Qingyin junior, but fortunately I'm thirsty right now, and if you bring me a refreshing glass of lim juice, I think it will quench my anger. ”
The voice on the phone was not dissatisfied, it was just a friendly joke with him, but it proved that the relationship between the two parties was good.
Qingyin replied with a smile as she walked, "Senior, is it really good to drink such a sweet drink when you are thirsty?" I think pure water is actually a little more thirst-quenching, don't you think? ”
"Sugar helps replenish the consumption of the brain, you know, I'm a brain worker," Keller on the phone said eloquently, obviously used to teasing Qingyin like this, "Besides, a glass of lim juice for ten federal dollars should not be comparable to pure water that doesn't cost money, right?" I know you're slamming the door, but I'm still going to be angry if you want to perfunctory me so simply. ”
"I'm just giving a pertinent suggestion, you have to understand that it hurts my heart too much, a juice, right, is there anything else? Would you like to bring you some lunch? ”
"I'd love to taste the lunch that my brother brought me with all sincerity, but unfortunately I've already eaten it, as long as the juice is good, but don't treat me with ordinary juice, you know, I only drink Lime brand juice."
"And you have to have a little sour taste, don't worry, you can't be wrong, but in your eyes, how picky I am, if you don't change this opinion, be careful I let the clerk add pepper fruit to the juice~"
"Hahaha~, generous and bold Qingyin junior, did you misunderstand something? It's scary to be so threatened, please don't do it, don't let me see it, and don't even mention it to me again, okay? ”
"I really don't understand why you hate such a strange and delicious fruit like this, isn't it delicious? Isn't that one bite of the double extreme feeling of coolness and heat that can go straight to the whole body enough? I'm already hungry just thinking about it. ”
"I really regret knowing you, Qingyin, you must have done it on purpose······"
"I'm sorry about that, but it's too late to regret it, I'll bring you lunch tomorrow at most to apologize."
"Lunch isn't just going to be just the cheapest white bread, is it?"
"Isn't it enough? Then I'll divide half of my bread with you. ”
"What else can I say? Thank you so much for your generosity······"
"No thanks, who made us friends."
················
While walking through the mountains, he quickly came to the cafeteria, bought himself a loaf of bread to solve his lunch, and also bought a freshly mixed juice that was expensive in his eyes and took it away, and walked to the branch of the Eika Department in the westernmost corner.
During this time, in addition to his normal study, he also asked Keller from time to time about the knowledge of the drawing card, and the handsome guy with the temperament of the painting card department who was already very good to get along with him had become familiar with him in the communication with him, and the enthusiastic Keller had even taken Qingyin to visit the drawing card branch several times.
In just a few days, he learned a lot about the card artist from Keller, and his knowledge of the system was not limited to ignorance.
Qingyin didn't pay any price, as for the expensive juice or something, it was just a joke between friends after getting acquainted, harmless and not worth mentioning.
Arriving at the exquisite student apartment where the students of the Eica Department lived, Qingyin walked to Keller's room while biting on the bread.
To tell the truth, the benefits of fewer people and fewer people, although the student apartment of the card department is not big, but it is very comfortable to live in, and one person can occupy an independent suite, which is really a generous benefit in Dongcheng District, compared with the overcrowded card making dormitory, it is completely different.
One is an apartment, the other is a student dormitory, the gap must be you know, anyway, Qingyin doesn't need to live on campus, and the lunch break is also used to practice, and he has never been to the dormitory assigned to him by the school, and the dormitory scene described by his classmates also makes him unable to go out and find out.
When he came to the door of Keller's residence, Qingyin didn't ring the doorbell, but just said to the camera above his head:
"Good afternoon, Nemo, help me inform the senior that I'm here."
"Okay, Mr. Qingyin."
The small screen next to the door suddenly lit up, and a cute mechanical synthesized sound came from it.
It was the voice of Keller's multi-functional portable artificial intelligence assistant, the concentrated embodiment of the highest technology of the Near Star Federation, a high-tech crystallization product worth tens of millions, a good helper in life with a lot of functions, and a thing that only rich people can have, Qingyin only realized that Keller's family was extraordinary after seeing it for the first time.
The door soon opened from the inside, and Keller smiled and opened the door himself to greet him:
"Hey, Qingyin, your speed is always so timely."
"Of course, I'm afraid you'll blame me for your lack of inspiration, and if you delay a future card artist to create a new card, then I'll be guilty of a great sin."
"Hehe~, if you don't mock me for a day, you're uncomfortable, aren't you? Come on in, I've got you a whole glass of pure water to entertain you. ”
"Senior, your enthusiasm is really thirsty."
Qingyin rolled her eyes and walked into the room, and saw a silver metal ball the size of a football suspended next to the coffee table in front of the sofa in the living room, from which a small metal arm poked out of it was carrying a kettle to pour water into the cup, and a pair of electronic eyes on it turned to the door to look at Qingyin, and a buzzing mechanical synthesis sound came out, and greeted politely: "Good afternoon, Mr. Qingyin, the master said that you have a soft spot for pure water, and I have prepared it for you, please enjoy it slowly." ”
Glancing at someone who was secretly snickering on the side again, Qingyin responded: "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Nemo, don't bother, just let me come." ”
"This is what I should do, Mr. Qingyin, please take a seat."
After pouring the water, the ball robot lowered the kettle and floated, gave way to the sofa and motioned for Qingyin to sit down.
Handing the juice in his hand to Keller, Qingyin sat down on the sofa, picked up the water glass and drank it in a big gulp.
The bread was a little dry, and he was a little thirsty.
"You can't really come to drink water from me, do you? Do you want to ask me about card artists again? ”
Keller sat down across from him, took a graceful sip of the juice, and asked nonchalantly.
Qingyin was noncommittal: "Actually, I just knew that you were too lazy to go out, so I came over to bring you juice." ”
"Well, what do you want to know? A studious Qingyin junior. ”
Qingyin put away his smile and said, "Anything, whether it's rumors about card painters or new card sets, or you can tell me the specific process of drawing cards." ”
Keller smiled inexplicably: "I really don't know why you are so curious about the knowledge of card drawing, do you also want to become a card drawing artist?" ”
Qingyin laughed noncommittally······
