Chapter 33: The Cursed Puppet Blew Up
"Sir, if you are a beginner and love wood carving, you can learn on the Internet on your own.
Now there are many teaching videos on the Internet, which are no worse than the master's personal guidance.
I also have wood suitable for beginners, and I recommend using looser woods for beginners, such as ginkgo, camphor, pine, etc.
If you want to learn to carve characters, I also have some master hand-carved character finished wood carving, you can buy it back for reference and learning, I don't know if you need it? The female shopping guide was very eloquent, and she talked to Lake endlessly.
When Lake heard this, he thought that he couldn't come in vain, anyway, now he is not short of money: "Take me to pick one, if you want the kind of hand-carved characters by masters, you want to be like the carving style of real people, not too big, but small and easy to carry, two or three."
Bring me some of the same kind of wood you mentioned. ”
The female shopping guide was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly and enthusiastically took Lake to choose, and explained to Lake in detail the knowledge of wood carving she knew.
Half an hour later, Lake chose three small figures carved by the master, and dozens of small pieces of wood.
After swiping the card, the female shopping guide directly gave Lake a large suitcase, and gave Lake a delicate card with a smile:
"The URL on this card is a very authoritative engraving forum, with instructional videos and engraving knowledge explanations.
On the back of the card is the member's login account.
When you spend in our store, you have automatically become a member, which is converted into points, which can be used on this engraving forum.
Welcome to come back next time! ”
"Oh, and the forum and value-added services, nice! A five-star review for you! After hearing this, Lake put away the small card, thinking of the rating of ordering takeout before.
The female shopping guide didn't understand much what the five-star review was, but she still smiled and sent Lake away.
Lake took the large suitcase, rushed back to the hotel, and turned on the computer.
I took out the card from my pocket and logged in to the world's engraving forum.
There are really many posts on the forums detailing carving techniques, from basic to advanced.
There are also video explanations, most of which require points to buy and download.
There is also information on the sale of carved products and carved figures.
Downloaded more than a dozen videos of engraving tips for beginners:
"Become a Master Engraving in a Week"
"How to turn from a small white to a carving master"
100 Questions on Engraving Skills

"Sculpting a Woman as a Wife"
"If you look at it, tomorrow you will be a master carver" and so on.
Lake then picked up the phone next to his bed, asked the hotel attendant to deliver his food to his room, and began to sit in front of the computer and watch the videos.
Lake couldn't help but imagine a picture in his mind: "My sister Xiaoyu is holding the Death Scythe in front of her and desperately waving it to fight the boss." He stood behind and gave Xiaoyu a secret word technique to add blood, and then set a secret word technique to the boss to reduce his blood.
After that, he found a stone behind him and sat down to dodge, holding a curse carving knife in his hand, quickly carving the appearance of the boss, and from time to time he looked up to see what the boss looked like, and then shouted cheers to Xiaoyu.
After carving out the cursed puppet of the boss, he pricked the puppet cursed boss with a small needle. ”
The picture was very beautiful, and Lake shook his head, stopped thinking, and began to watch the carving instructional video.
After watching it for more than three hours, some useless videos chose to fast-forward, and Lake learned about engraving in general.
"He's a ball, it turns out that it's very difficult to carve! It's so complicated!
You also need to have a foundation in art, and you should know that you learned to draw before you know it! Lake sighed.
Carving wood carvings is not as simple as he thought before.
Lake found a relatively easy way to carve, that is, he needed to take an ink pen or a black pen, draw the figure on the wood, and then use the carving knife in his hand to carve it at once.
Lake looked at his right hand, which was not yet neat, and directly chose to remove the gauze.
Lake tried, and now he couldn't even hold the carving knife in his right hand.
"Switch to the left hand!" Lake gritted his teeth, ready to try carving with his left hand first, holding the wooden block in his right hand.
Under the suitcase given by the shopping guide in the wood carving shop, Lake also found a black pen, which should have been given to himself.
"The praise of the five elements is not in vain!" Lake thought to himself.
Lake held a pen in his left hand, and in the trembling of his right hand, he picked up a small cuboid wooden block of unknown material and began to try to draw.
Before he picked up the pen, Lake thought about who would be better to draw.
With this kind of curse carving, Lake wouldn't be stupid enough to carve himself.
But in this mission world, there are only a few people who know you well.
The little queen is still gone, and it is estimated that even if the experiment of carving her is successful, it may not have any effect.
You can't carve Doctor Strange anymore, he's a doctor, he can operate at any time, and if he is cursed, the patient he operates on will be out of luck.
Forget it, draw the fallen angel of the black uncle!
After Lake thought about it, he held the pen in his left hand and began to draw.
However, Lake soon realized that he was worried about being superfluous, and looked at the "human" he drew on the wood: a round head, two eyes, a mouth, a nose, two arms, and two legs, which could only be roughly seen as a human form, and could not be seen at all.
"I don't know if this will work, so let's give it a try.
It is very likely that if you think that it is the black uncle who wants to carve, you will be able to succeed!
How do you say about the teaching video just now, yes, the carving should talk about the artistic conception and pay attention to the charm! Everything is a floating cloud! Encouraging himself, Lake put down his black pen, picked up the cursed carving knife, and began to carve on the wood.
Fortunately, the curse carving knife was unusually sharp, and the wood block that Lake was holding this time was not hard, and after almost scratching his fingers twice, a small wooden "man" was finally carved.
The legs are as thick as the waist, one hand is huge, and the ears are one large and the other is small, carved like an abstract Frankenstein.
"Uncle Negro, you're Uncle Negro." Lake held the wooden carving figure in his hand and first tried to hypnotize himself, and finally carved his eyes, that is, he used the tip of the knife to make two holes in the villain's face.
"Do you want to submit the woodwork carved by the Cursed Knife as a cursed puppet?" The electronic voice of the heavens online sounded in Lake's head.
Lake looked at the abstract weirdo in his hand and was very happy, "This can be done, submit, of course submit!" ”
"Ask the player to mentally figure out the creature you're carving." The electronic voice of the Heavens Online has reappeared.
Lake thought firmly, "This is Uncle Negro, this is the fallen angel!" That's what he did! ”
However, Lake's happiness only lasted for a few seconds, and the electronic voice of the Heavens Online sounded in Lake's head again:
"Woodwork carved by the Cursed Knife, Cursed Puppet Transformation, Converting, Converting, Converting Failed.
Reason for failure: Are you sure this is what the black uncle is now, or if he is what he has mutated! Players still need to hone their carving skills!
Tips: This kind of four-like wood carving can't be converted into a cursed puppet. If you want to make a successful conversion, you must at least be able to see what is engraved! ”
"Smack"! With a bang, the "Black Uncle" wood carving in Lake's hand exploded with the failure of the conversion.
