Chapter 35: Life is Hard
After realizing that his efforts had not been in vain, Jiang Ning regained his spirits and relived the previous drawing process several times in his mind, and after confirming that it was correct, he fell into the crazy inscription practice again.
It's hard at the beginning, and after one experience, it's very easy to draw a tornado again.
In the past two days, after cultivating several times, Jiang Ning's spiritual power was finally able to support him to draw an abnormal version of the small dragon scroll again, and he also applied a second-level spirit gathering rune array on it.
After everything was ready, Jiang Ning took out a new inscription whiteboard and accurately drew the above operations on the inscription whiteboard, and with the blessing of the Spirit Gathering Rune Array, the runes could be used many times, and the second-level Spirit Gathering Array corresponded to the number of twenty uses.
Three levels are thirty, and so on.
After drawing one piece, Jiang Ning rested for half an hour, and then drew the second piece, followed by the third and fourth pieces.
He drew a total of seven times, and succeeded four times, which is a very good success rate.
After doing all this, he put all the drawn inscription whiteboards into his backpack and prepared to sell them door-to-door according to the addresses given by online netizens and Luo Xinlan.
Generally speaking, the price of a small dragon scroll ranges from 1,500 to 10,000 pieces, and the complexity of the root rune, the price of the inscription whiteboard, and the popularity of the inscription master all determine its final price.
Although these small dragon scrolls in Jiangning belong to the lowest level, the inscription whiteboard is medium-level, and it should be able to sell for about two thousand yuan.
His requirements are not high, as long as he can have one thousand seven or eight, of which seven hundred is the cost, and the remaining one thousand is his own remuneration.
He first arrived at the largest inscription trading hall in Jiangbei.
"Hello, what do you need?"
He had just checked the transaction information in the lobby when a young man dressed formally walked by.
Jiang Ning smiled back politely: "I want to sell some runes." ”
The young man was stunned, and then asked apologetically, "I'm sorry sir, what did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again? ”
Jiang Ning was slightly embarrassed and repeated, "I want to sell some runes." ”
"Do you sell runes, or buy runes?" The young man still smiled, but his smile was a little stiff.
"Sell! Love to sell! Jiang Ning said clearly.
The young man was a little suspicious and said, "Can you show me your runes?" ”
"Absolutely."
Jiang Ning immediately took out a drawn inscription whiteboard from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
The young man looked left and right, but didn't see the reason, and asked with a smile on his face, "Can you ask, who drew this rune of yours?" ”
Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "I drew it myself." ”
The young man's expression suddenly became weird, he tried his best to control his facial expression, and smiled at Jiang Ning: "You rune, we need a professional instrument to measure it, can you wait for a while?" ”
Jiang Ning bowed slightly.
The young man then walked into a room, Jiang Ning faintly heard what was being scolded inside, and then the young man quickly walked out, looking a little embarrassed, but he still forced a smile and said to Jiang Ning: "I'm sorry sir, your rune, because of a series of problems, well, many problems you know, it's not for us small employees to decide." ”
"So, your runes can't be sold in our showcase for the time being."
"I'm sorry......"
After what the young man said, Jiang Ning didn't need to listen anymore, he took the inscription whiteboard and left the largest inscription trading hall in Jiangbei.
……
"Sorry, we only accept the runes of the old customers here, you ......"
……
"Five hundred, it can't be more, you have to know that the runes of those inscription masters are only ......"
……
"Kid, are you sure you're not joking? You also call it inscription? Hurry up and take a walk, don't interfere with my business here! Hey, sir, do you need anything, we've just got a batch of ...... here."
……
"Huangkou Xiaoer, the hair has not grown, so he dares to call himself an inscription master! Hurry up and get out of here, someone! Blasted him out for me, why do you really think that a cat and a dog can be an inscription artist? ”
For two whole days, Jiang Ning traveled all over the six counties around Jiangbei, but none of the exchanges gave him a good face, and he didn't earn half a cent of money, but a lot of food and car fares were pasted in.
In the territory of the Federation, the inscription master is always the rarest group of talents, if you want to become a qualified inscription master, talent, family background, heart, all three are indispensable, can be expected to become the inscription master, often in the absence of the beginning, it has been concerned by many forces, and in addition to the blue school known for the inscription technique, the rest of the inscription master is basically taught in the form of word of mouth, that is, the traditional form of master-apprentice art, in this case, often the apprentice has not yet learned the craft, has already had a certain reputation, Such a person is basically known to the core executives of the major trading halls, and because the inscription artists often exchange experiences with each other, there are very few cases where they do not know each other.
The inscription masters from the Azure School are even more famous, and they have received great attention when they were selected for the Azure Academy.
In short, the circle is too small, and everyone knows each other.
Unless it's sent from abroad like Luo Xinlan.
Moreover, the inscription master is more talented than the warrior, and in the traditional impression, the inscription master is a group of old scholars.
When Jiang Ning said that it was a rune drawn by himself, basically no one would take it seriously.
It's like when you, a third-grade student, insist that you are a senior software engineer, everyone will only think that you are out to sell cuteness, and by the way, insult their IQ.
Not rushing people on the spot is already very personable.
In fact, as long as they have tested the quality of the runes, there will basically be no such misunderstanding, but the actual situation is that everyone is very busy, who has the leisure to take the time to help you test?
It's the same as if you are obviously very capable, but your academic qualifications are not good, and those big companies don't even think about you......
It can go wrong, but who cares?
Everybody's busy.
When night fell, Jiang Ning sat on the steps of the square, across the Canglan River, looking at the thousands of neons opposite, silently nibbling on the steamed buns that had been cold, and his heart was full of endless emotion.
Life is difficult, he knows, he has the ability and no qualifications, and he knows it.
But, I just feel very unconvinced.
It took nearly 20 days of hard work to draw it, but in the end, this is the result......
Looking at the misty night in the distance, he really wanted to buy a bottle of liquor and get drunk to eliminate all sorrows.
He sighed heavily, rubbed his cheeks hard, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed Hou Qing's phone number.
He waited for a while, but the phone didn't answer for a long time.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, with his relationship with Hou Qing, he shouldn't have missed his call......
Maybe I didn't have it with me.
He shook his head and called Du Mingshan again.
After a short blind tone, the call was quickly connected.
Jiang Ning suddenly became happy, and shouted at the other side: "Son dog, come out and be beaten!" ”
"What's the matter, Jiang Ning?"
"Are you coming out for dinner?" Jiang Ning said happily, "I'm in for a treat." ”
"......" there was a little silence on the other side of the phone, "Forget it, I just finished the general studies and mathematics exams in the morning, and I have to take the biology and physics exams tomorrow, you can go by yourself, I won't come." ”
After a brief chat, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
At this time, Du Mingshan may still be studying at night.
"Alas," Jiang Ning sighed heavily, life is really difficult!
"Tomorrow continues!"
