Chapter 12 Mechanical Pocket Watches
Wang Lin followed the old man into the store. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info came to a cabin.
"Young man, did you say you want to sell this thing? Can you show me?" the old man said, staring at the pocket watch in Wang Lin's hand.
"Of course," Wang Lin hurriedly handed over the things.
The old man carefully played with his pocket watch and nodded incessantly.
"You made this thing yourself?"
Wang Lin hesitated for a moment before admitting. He didn't want to make such a hammer deal, with the space to work and detailed drawings, it only took a quarter of an hour to make a pocket watch. If he could, Wang Lin planned to trade for the long term.
"It's not easy, you can have such a craft as a mortal, it's amazing, ingenious, ingenious!"
"It's a pity, I'm afraid it took a lot of time to make this thing, right? ”
Wang Lin was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that it was made of leftovers, could there be good things.
"It took me a year to make this stuff. Wang Lin said with a measure.
"This thing isn't just pretty, isn't it?
Wang Lin then introduced the functions of the pocket watch to the old man in detail. In fact, because of the tight time, this pocket watch has only one function to check the time in addition to being good-looking, and you must know that the earth's clock is so multi-functional. But in a world where accurate timekeeping depends only on an hourglass, a fine mechanical pocket watch is unheard of in itself. When the old man learned that this little thing could accurately display the time, he immediately exclaimed. 、
"Young man, did you just say you can make this thing yourself?"
Hearing Wang Lin's affirmative answer, the old man immediately said that he could hire Wang Lin to join the Chamber of Commerce. And promised to test the spiritual root for Wang Lin immediately, if there is a method immediately, if not, ask the headquarters to give Wang Lin a [Ascending Immortal Pill] so that he can immediately become an immortal cultivator and ascend to the sky in one step.
Wang Lin was a little surprised, he was just a mortal, and with just a pocket watch, he could get the famous Tianbao Pavilion to invite him to join? Obviously, Wang Lin didn't expect what a small old-fashioned pocket watch that was eliminated on Earth would mean to this world. Wang Lin was a little moved to be honest. But Wang Lin is tired of working for others, no matter who it is for. Wang Lin, who had figured it out, resolutely rejected the old man's invitation.
Seeing Wang Lin's resolute attitude, the old man did not force it.
"Young man, since you don't want to, I won't force it, old man. Why don't you talk about what it's called?O~ I remembered something called a pocket watch, what price are you going to ask? ”
"This thing has never been sold in the future, it's all up to you to decide. ”
"Little one, you're embarrassed for me, old man. This thing was unheard of before, and it was really hard to price. To say that he is a treasure but it does not help him in any way in his cultivation, and to say that he is a mortal thing is indeed ingenious. It's hard to say the price. Young man, do you think this is okay, I will produce 20 spirit stones, which can be regarded as my private collection, what do you think?"
Wang Lin knew that the items in the cultivation realm were all valued according to their functions, and his pocket watch really did not help him in any way, and it was just a plaything to say that it was broken. Twenty spirit stones are equivalent to two thousand dollars. If you meet someone who doesn't know the goods, maybe you won't give a single spirit stone. This is also the reason why Wang Lin came directly to the largest shop in the city, [Tianbao Pavilion], and only those who are truly powerful can afford to enjoy luxury goods.
"Of course, the price is fair, and I completely agree," Wang Lin replied.
"Okay, here's twenty spirit stones. You take it. The old man gave Wang Lin a cloth bag.
"Little one, you are the most special mortal I have ever met. And you are also the first mortal to refuse the invitation of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. It's very personal, but I'm still the same thing, as long as you figure it out whenever you figure it out, you can come here to find me, and the door of Tianbao Pavilion will always be open for you. ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the old man, I will think seriously in my later life. ”
"Don't be an old gentleman, the old gentleman's name is called, and others call me Zhao Lao. You can call it that, too. ”
"Thank you, Elder Zhao, Ao is right, this pocket watch is purely mechanical, and you need to use it every other month as a mainspring power. There is also the adjustment of the time. Sometimes if you forget to wind your pocket watch for a long time, the time on the dial will not be accurate, and you can adjust it to the exact position according to the direction of the sun. But it's best to adjust the watch at noon, when the sun is at its highest during the day. After that, the table will indicate the current time very accurately.
Wang Lin is the most laborious part of making this watch is the choice of time scale, you must know that the volume of this planet is dozens of times that of the earth, and the time of a day is also dozens of times that of the earth, so the division of time is completely different from the earth. At first, Wang Lin Wang Lin was very glad that as soon as he crossed over, he gained dozens of times his lifespan for nothing, but he didn't feel anything after a long time. Wang Lin spent a week trying to measure the time. Fortunately, people in this world also use the 60-base time system, which saves Wang Lin a lot of trouble. It is a kind of dial that is used all over the world, and it has been a very mature technology for a long time.
After instructing Zhao Lao on the use of the pocket watch, Wang Lin suddenly had an idea, he had always wanted to know how to use the jade slip, but he had never found the right person to ask, but this Zhao Lao in front of him, isn't he the best candidate?
"Old Zhao Juniors have always had a question, I don't know, can I ask for advice?"
"Of course, as long as the old man knows, he will not hide it. ”
"The juniors have never known how to use the jade slips of the cultivation realm?"
Zhao Lao glanced at Wang Lin meaningfully, "This question is not a secret, as long as a cultivator knows it, that is, the jade slip is attached to his forehead and sensed with spiritual power." ”
"Thank you, old Zhao, juniors, I can't thank you enough. ”
Seeing that the sky was about to be completely bright, Wang Lin had to go back when the fat man arrived at the store, so he asked to leave.
Wang Lin Chen Nuo will make pocket watches in the future, and he will give priority to Tianbao Pavilion.
Bidding farewell to Zhao Lao, Wang Lin hurried back non-stop, and finally returned to the store before the golden fat man, waiting for Wang Lin to open the door of the Jin Ji grocery store. The fat golden man twisted the bucket waist and slowly moved into the store. It's strange that Lin Fei, who came early every day, was late today, left early yesterday and was late today, what's wrong with this Lin Fei!
Sure enough, after the golden fat man entered the store, he saw that Lin Fei was not there, and after asking Wang Lin to make sure that Lin Fei was late, his originally festive face was pulled down a little.
