Chapter 1: Karn

Southeast area of Moorish Town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

By this time the moon had crept up into the sky, casting a soft glow, but not enough to illuminate the narrow alleys of the area, and it seemed that the moonlight did not want to visit this poor gathering place.

"Squeak!"

Old Kant appeared in one of the alleys, pushed open the door of a room on the side of the road, and entered.

The room was not big, more than a dozen square meters, two beds took up most of it, and there was a table in the middle, and a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old sat in front of the table, concentrating on what he was doing, and he didn't even notice that old Kant had entered the room.

The little boy has a more delicate face, a pale complexion, and a relatively thin body, and if you don't look closely, you are likely to think of him as a girl.

Old Kant didn't bother him, took out the wound medicine from the box under the bed, and quietly smeared the abrasions on his arm.

The table is full of all kinds of utensils, including glass cups and test tubes, wooden shelves, rubber tubes, and so on. There's an amplifier in the middle, through which you can see a deft hand dancing underneath.

The room was quiet, save for the rustling of knives sliding quickly across the wooden material......

The boy holds a hemispherical object in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand. Unlike ordinary carving knives, it has a hollow center with a blue cylindrical strip sandwiched inside. The blue glue juice is evenly attached to the carved texture as the tip of the knife swings.

The boy's expression was quite focused, his left hand did not move, his right wrist vibrated slightly, and through his fingers, he drove the carving knife to move quickly on the inside of the hemispherical object, and even phantoms could be seen on both sides of the tip of the knife. With such a high speed in such a small object, it is hard to imagine how the boy could have ensured accuracy.

Through the amplifier, you can see that fine blue lines continue to extend from under the tip of the knife, gradually forming a complex and mysterious pattern. If you look closely, you will find that there seems to be some kind of meaning in this pattern, and staring at it for a long time will give people the illusion that the body is slowly heating up.

Suddenly, the little boy lifted the carving knife in his hand and left the hemispherical object. The last "zhi" pattern is achieved overnight, and it is accurately docked with the starting pattern.

Immediately after that, a bright light was generated from the butt and quickly swam along the lines, like a sensitive little snake, and soon the blue light spread all over the pattern. At this moment, the boy slowly closed his eyes, and almost at the same time, a slightly blinding blue light flashed, and quickly disappeared, and the whole room seemed to become even darker.

The boy opened his eyes and picked up another identical-looking hemisphere from the table, put it together with the hemisphere in his hand, and pressed it hard.

"Click!"

The two hemispheres actually form a complete sphere, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is a slit in the middle.

The boy placed the balls in a small box on the table, which contained nine other balls of the same kind.

"Little Karn, it looks like you're done with your work for the day?" asked old Kant softly, seeing the boy's movements.

"Ah, Daddy Kant, you're back!" Karn came to his senses when he heard the voice, and jumped to the bedside, smiling and ready to pinch old Kant's shoulder, "You're tired, I'll rub your shoulder!"

"Eh, I'm not tired, don't always look at me as an old man, when I was young, I was a famous strong man, you come and see this. Old Kant pulled the core of the crisper out of the bag and handed it to Karn.

"Ah, this is ......" Karn took the gray ball, and after a little recognition, he showed a look of surprise, "Is it the core of the magic pattern of the fresh-keeping cabinet?

"Aha, isn't there a saying that blue is better than blue, little Karn, you are better than Daddy! Old Kant touched Karn's head with satisfaction.

Since the invention of the magic pattern, various magic pattern products have been very different in terms of appearance and the way the magic pattern is depicted due to the different inventors. With the increasing number of small civil magic pattern products, different specifications have affected the production, use and maintenance of products by the general public.

More than 60 years ago, the Element Research and Cooperation Council called on the majority of producers to unify specifications and appearance, which was widely supported. So now, the specifications and appearance of the first-level energy furnace and the core of the civil magic pattern products have been unified, and they are all prescribed as spheres with a two-point long radius. (Two minutes are one centimeter long.) )

"Hehe, this is all taught by you Daddy Kant!" Karn smiled shyly.

"Ahem, little Karn, let's not compliment each other!" Old Kant waved his hand, "With this core, our fresh-keeping cabinet can also work, but it's a pity that the main body of the fresh-keeping cabinet in the garbage dump has been broken and unformed, otherwise we can replace this old guy entirely." ”

Old Kant slowly pulled out a gray old cabinet half a meter square under the table, which is the so-called fresh-keeping cabinet, as the name suggests, a storage cabinet for keeping food fresh.

Karn expertly dismantled the back panel of the crisper, found the damaged Demonic Core, and replaced it with a new one.

"Click!" the crisper made a slight noise and began to function normally.

"Wow, we'll have fresh food to eat in the future!" Karn seemed a little excited to eat something better.

"Skinny little Karn, you might try it in the workshop, I bet they'll beg you to stay and give you the best deal with you, given your qualifications. In the eyes of old Kant, in addition to demagogy, there is more care.

"Don't say that, Daddy Kant, as you know, in the workshop, one person specializes in one module. If you go in, you may not be able to learn the magic pattern freely. ”

Karn had also listened to the old Kant at his suggestion to try it in the workshop, but when he learned about the working patterns in the workshop, he immediately dismissed the idea. In the workshop, each worker can only complete one functional module of the magic pattern product, because only in this way can everyone's efficiency be improved, so there will not be too many opportunities to contact the new magic pattern, which is not conducive to learning the knowledge of the magic pattern.

There was an even more important reason, the income from working in the workshop would be higher than Karn's current income, but the working hours would also be greatly increased, so that there would be no time to spend with old Kant, which Karn was unwilling to accept.

"We, little Karn, have grown up, and know how to make trade-offs! It's a pity that I don't have any knowledge of telekinesis, hey......" Old Kant still showed a little unwillingness.

"We will be able to afford the copy of the Telekinesis Training Method sold in the Pattern Making House soon, as long as I sell another hundred and thirty first-level energy furnaces. Karn said with longing as he counted his earnings in the past few years.

"Okay, well, hey, I'm so old, don't mention it. Old Kant waved his hand, as if to wave away those bad feelings, and said to Karn solemnly, "Little Karn, with your qualifications and hard work, believe me, you will definitely become a master of patterning, this is also my lifelong wish, you must persevere!"
