Chapter 298 The High Status of Craftsmen
Lu Yuan thought about it. If they want to sell specialty products, they must focus on visions. I have resources that you don't have, so I can have higher added value.
It is actually difficult to sell extraordinary fruits and extraordinary minerals at a particularly good price.
"Some materials with poppy trees as the core can be sold."
"The shell of the immortal giant turtle... Sell them all!"
Lu Yuan did not intend to expose the other two visions, [Painted Skin] and the Tree of Life.
"In addition, there are items created by our group of craftsmen in the past 30 years. Well, if we can sell them, we will sell them. If the old ones don't go, the new ones will not come."
"I understand. I will find a way to clarify the value system during the negotiation. But Dad Lu, you'd better give me some more trading items so that I can have the capital to negotiate. They don't have to be too expensive, just ordinary ones will do."
Old Lu is still very confident in Lu Tiantian's ability.
He touched his backpack and quietly took out several black iron swords he made, several carved buttons, rune knives, etc. from the storage space - he was quite nervous about being judged by the alien civilization for his hard work.
He also put in a few extraordinary fruits, some creations of human craftsmen, and some miscellaneous things.
This backpack of supplies is worth a lot of money.
"Is it enough?"
"Enough." Lu Tiantian lowered his voice, "Don't worry, these rat people are quite rational, they won't embarrass me, a negotiating kid. We are not worth much."
Lu Yuan smiled, your divine skill "Super Thinker" is really worth a hundred spiritual rhymes.
"Legendary Buddhist beads... There are 21 in total, all raw materials."
"No, no, you negotiate for that yourself, don't give it to me, I'm afraid of being cheated by these rat people... But if you want to sell it, I can mention it as a bargaining chip, what do you want to exchange it for?"
"Weapon materials..."
"No problem!"
Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, the children have indeed grown up and can stand on their own.
"Hey, you guys negotiate slowly here, don't be too anxious, wait until the Sky City lands, we will come to pick you up."
...
Just like that, the crowd split into two, one part stayed in the Shumiba civilization.
And Lu Yuan took the "Lingbao Tongjian Kaoyi" and rode the "Flying Dragon" back to the Sky City.
Seeing the familiar city, the people coming and going, the laughing children and the white-haired old man, there is an inexplicable sense of security.
Golden nests and silver nests, are not as good as your own doghouse...
If he was alone, wandering in Pangu Continent, he might have integrated into the Shumiba civilization, been treated as a distinguished guest, and got drunk.
Maybe he has even become a brother to the Rat King!
Unfortunately, he has many ties now, and he is no longer alone...
He has his own family...
"Thank you for your hard work, buddy!" Lu Yuan patted the head of the "Flying Dragon" insect and jumped off its back.
"Flying Dragon" roared happily: "Wow!!"
And there was a large group of people in the square, looking forward to it, with expectant faces.
"Comrades, we only talked for a few hours and didn't get much out of it, so we bought this book."
"Take a look, is this price appropriate?"
The scientists in the investigation room studied this book with unprecedented enthusiasm.
"Translators, find a way to translate it."
The super thinker, Sha Mo, laughed and said, "Captain Lu, as long as the information inside is true, it is definitely worth the money!"
The treasure hunter Lu Ying standing on the side asked in confusion, "Is it so awesome? It's just a spiritual value system, can't we study it ourselves?"
"No, no, no... it's like this..."
Sha Mo explained, "Idealism energy has many variants, and there are currently no particularly good instruments to measure the data. Weights and measures are really hard to find."
"For example, it is really hard to say how much idealism energy a pomegranate has."
"And each pomegranate is different in size."
To measure the amount of idealism energy, it takes a lot of supernatural materials to formulate some strict "rulers".
The cost naturally goes up.
So humans have been thinking about the issue of unified units for a long time, but due to cost issues, progress is limited.
Now there is a book out of thin air, which provides a complete set of calculation methods, which can reduce a lot of experimental costs.
And for future development, the "weights and measures" are unified.
Lu Yuan understood and said with a smile: "Then you guys study it first."
"I'll go and count what we can sell in our warehouse... Sell as much as we can."
"By the way, after translating the information above the legendary level, send it to my mailbox immediately."
"Haha, that's for sure... Only Captain Lu has made legendary equipment here."
"Those guys have to work hard too!"
According to the description in this book, a legendary equipment can earn at least one thousand spiritual charms!
As many as three to five thousand!
These spiritual charms are real and can be directly extracted by destroying the equipment!
Otherwise, why did the Green Civilization destroy the masterpieces of this civilization in the "Ascension Ceremony"?
Everyone finally understood the value of the great craftsman, which is simply a human-shaped gold mine!
Looking at the green eyes of the crowd, Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Legendary gloves, unless you are extremely poor, don't sell them. This is the bottom of the box, and... To put it bluntly, alas, a person's inspiration is really limited. Selling legends is a bit like selling a son."
The legendary gloves were made of Lu Yuan's own materials and he made them independently.
It was said that they were his own private property, so no one could find any fault with them.
In addition, the gloves were studied by the craftsmen every day, and they were even worn for a few minutes... If anyone dared to propose to sell the gloves, the craftsmen would slap the proposer in the face the next second!
So the heavy pressure was passed on to the craftsmen.
Sha Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master Guo, why don't you tinker with a few pieces! What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged Master Guo, named Guo Tiezhu, was the most skilled blacksmith in the village except Lu Yuan.
He sighed and said, "I have no inspiration. After so many years, the highest level is the Excellence level, which is one level lower than the Legend level."
"When I was young, I didn't know how valuable inspiration was. When I was old, I looked at the sky and cried. Now my skills have improved, but I have lost my passion!"
Lu Ying smiled and said, "Uncle Guo eats too well. If you live a poor life, maybe your inspiration will come back."
Guo Tiezhu thought about it and said seriously, "It's not that there is no such reason..."
"You have to live a hard life with fish and meat every day! From today on, I won't take a bath, eat meat, smoke, or drink."
"You really can't smoke."
The room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Listening to the conversation of everyone, Lu Yuan felt very relaxed.
In fact, he really wanted to know the value of the immortal equipment.
But he really couldn't make this secret public, so he could only brag about it with Lao Mao and his beautiful fan girl in private.
Suddenly, he had a little epiphany, and countless fragments suddenly emerged in his mind.
Flowing water, flying birds, journeys, smiles, cultivation, harvests, thousands of tracks interweave, giving birth to the miracle of a hundred flowers blooming.
This epiphany is not inspiration, but a unique understanding of "luck".
It is hard to explain, but it seems to be real.
With the help of the power of "luck", going with the flow, forging equipment may be taken to a higher level, which is the so-called "time".
"Make a piece of equipment first, practice your hands!"
Lu Yuan held a knife in his right hand and a small piece of "Ice Jade" in his right hand, and started carving.
The material is ordinary, just an "inferior grade" extraordinary material, which can slightly improve people's concentration.
He wants to make a jade pendant.
It is extremely difficult to make this kind of small accessory into an extraordinary item.
Because ordinary armor, helmets, swords, and daggers have protective properties because the materials themselves have protective properties, even if the craftsman's craftsmanship is poor, there is a guaranteed return.
But there is no guarantee for pendants like jade pendants. If the craftsmanship is poor, it may not be as good as the natural base material.
Lu Yuan fell into a state of extreme concentration. His rough fingers were as flexible as a dancer. The knife flew up and down, carving various patterns on the ice chalcedony.
Powder flew everywhere.
Perhaps because of the communication with the Shumiba civilization, Lu Yuan felt something in his heart. He combined the story that happened today with the jade pendant.
An hour later, the jade pendant was completed - it was a turtle in the shape of a shell.
[Ice chalcedony·Accessory pendant, master craftsman·Lu Yuan carved the shape of the immortal giant turtle on the ice chalcedony. ]
[Although this turtle has shrunk its shell, it has a firm gaze and fearless courage. It is fighting for the entire civilization. ]
[The main colors of the work are white and black, recording a war that took place in the early ninth era of Pangu Continent. (Artwork)]
[Ability: Self-cultivation, after wearing, mental recovery increases by 5-9%, physical recovery speed increases by 8-13%, and learning concentration increases by 5%-18% (General level·Artificial Wonders++)]
"Promoted! It has become general level!"
Many craftsmen gathered around and marveled.
The original ice jade base material was only of inferior quality, with a maximum of 3% mental recovery, but now it has been promoted!
Three entries, quite awesome.
Of course, a person cannot wear too many extraordinary items.
It is impossible to wear a thousand or ten thousand jade pendants and pile yourself into a superman.
Because there will be extraordinary interference between the wonders.
Unless it is a specially made multi-piece set, otherwise, some compatibility issues are inevitable.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but was not satisfied, because it was his first time to carve this kind of base material, and he was always a little unfamiliar with the control of the hardness and softness of the stone.
So he picked up another piece of ice jade and re-carved a more perfect immortal giant turtle carving.
[Master craftsman Lu Yuan's casual work, which did not take much effort, but was still quite exquisite. ]
[Ability: self-cultivation, after wearing, mental power recovery increases by 5 artificial wonders +++)]
This time, the evaluation was lower.
"Why is it just a casual work?" Many craftsmen discussed.
The second piece was obviously more exquisite than the first one, but the effect was not good.
Everyone imitated and carved an immortal giant turtle.
Although these long-immersed craftsmen can also make the statues very lifelike, the highest is "poor quality + +", and the lower is simply "poor quality".
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan commented: "In other words, creation with the help of civilization's 'luck' is very important."
"Creation is a necessary link for the birth of a large number of spiritual charms. The story background is also very important."
"But the subsequent plagiarism and reference are not very meaningful."
"In addition, the name may also be very important... With the title of Master Craftsman, you can do better than ordinary craftsmen."
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, speechless.
Unexpectedly, in Pangu Continent, "name" is also very important! Why?
Of course, Lu Yuan actually knows that "name" actually represents the fortune of the Ninth Epoch, and it is a walking gold mine.
This is something more metaphysical, not easy to understand, but it really exists.
"Everyone, work hard, create legendary equipment, and get the title of Master Craftsman!"
...
In the next few days, Lu Yuan has been fascinated by new insights and obsessed with creation.
The fortune of civilization is really awesome. Go with the flow and there is a lot to do.
But this thing is very metaphysical and seems not easy to teach.
And other scientists are busy selecting the landing site of the Sky City.
People are preparing to let the entire city take a good rest, not half floating as before.
So a place that is flat enough and can bear the weight of the entire city must be selected.
…
In addition, the Lizhe civilization finally contacted us.
It was obvious that these lizardmen were very nervous and had no idea why the Shumiba civilization and the Sky City had a conflict.
And they tried to ask "Do you need some help?"
Lu Yuan did not hide anything from these old friends and briefly introduced the unspoken rules of the Eighth Era.
"Hello, friends of the Li Ze civilization, human friends, everyone, I am Lu Yuan."
"Some interesting stories did happen here. Now they are resolved peacefully."
"(Briefly describe the whole process)..."
"Although the unspoken rules of the Eighth Epoch were imposed on us by the Shumiba civilization, they are also an inevitable evolution in the future."
"The future is cruel, and the benefits of war are really huge. Even if you slaughter the weakest civilization, you will gain the benefits of the divine skills. One hundred divine skills may have tens of thousands of spiritual charms. And the income from normal development is really not much."
"My friends, I am very terrified and suggest that you consider this matter in advance."
"Regarding the collection and utilization of idealistic energy, every civilization will face it, unless we stop developing and hide in the safe zone forever. We will definitely be troubled by this."
"In addition, the civilization left over from the Eighth Epoch cannot be only the Shumiba civilization, there must be more alien races."
"These alien civilizations will promote this set of rules, and this trend is difficult to change. We must be prepared for this."
