Shui Yiyao spent an hour revising and drawing.
"Sorry, it took a while to draw because I had to avoid this stiff spot and make do with this shape."
"Seed material is about preserving the surface pores and skin color, so the design will be more sophisticated."
Pores and skin color are important features for identifying seed materials. No matter how they are processed, some of these important features will be retained. Therefore, seed materials cannot be processed as arbitrarily as mountain materials.
- Just draw it once?
Shui Yiyao saw that the netizen on the screen had posted another comment.
"Once? No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. I revised it many times."
"It's serious."
Because it was seed material, she really felt that she had spent a lot of time on it. She had been in this business for more than ten years and was already familiar with many patterns. If it was mountain material, it would not take so long.
"The drawing is ready, now we'll start cutting. There's not much material to cut, just this stiff piece, and the rest will be preserved as much as possible."
"Because it's seed material, it's all valuable. So, if you can keep it, you must keep it."
Shui Yiyao stood up with the seed material and adjusted the angle of her mobile phone so that the camera was facing the cutting machine.
"We're about to start cutting. The noise will be a bit loud, please turn down the volume, everyone."
-cutting?
-This machine feels a bit dangerous.
There is one more barrage.
Shui Yiyao: "This is a necessary process for jade carving. The waste materials must be cut off. It is a bit dangerous, but I am a professional."
“Non-professionals please do not imitate.”
The cutting machine is almost the largest and most dangerous machine used in jade carving. News of accidents where fingers are cut by grinding wheels are common, so it is necessary to be extremely cautious when operating it.
Shui Yiyao opened the water pipe on the cutting machine, and water slowly flowed down the grinding wheel.
"Jade is very hard, and the grinding wheel on the cutting machine will rotate at high speed. The contact between the two generates a lot of heat and sparks, so we let water flow while cutting to cool it down."
She turned on the machine and moved closer to the grinding wheel. Her movements were very steady.
Ten minutes later, Shui Yiyao turned off the cutting machine.
She placed the seed material in front of the camera: "Look, after cutting, a rough outline will emerge."
"Next we'll get on the engraving machine."
She rinsed the debris off the seed material with water and walked to the engraving machine with her mobile phone.
"This machine is the most important. It is used for shaping and fine carving jade."
Shui Yiyao looked up at the screen. There was a heat display in the upper right corner. It was in the single digits at first, but now it has reached triple digits.
Although I don’t know what the popularity means, it probably means that more viewers are coming.
-Why isn't the host talking?
Shui Yiyao: "Welcome to Chengdao Jade Carving's live broadcast room."
-Wow, the host has a nice voice.
-The host sings a song.
-The host sings a song.
"Singing? Okay." It's boring anyway.
As soon as the words fell, melodious singing was heard in the picture.
"I am a jade carver with strong jade carving skills. I want to carve this small seed material into something more beautiful."
"I carved Guan Gong and Zhong Kui, the carving knife was busy~ Oh, my little seed material, it has changed~"
Netizen "Voice Control Brother" rewarded "Meteor Shower".
-Although the host’s singing is not very good, his voice is still nice.
“…”
"Thank you for the meteor shower, brother Voice Control. May Zhong Kui bless you."
Meteor shower?
She had just received the "Little Star" when she signed in, but she didn't know what the meteor shower prop was and it looked like it cost money.
I didn’t expect that I could make some money from live streaming.
"The jade carver will now shape the small seed material."
Using a lathe to trim the shape is also one of the main steps. Lathes are divided into several types according to their functions. Shui Yiyao picked up the round lathe, turned on the water pipe on the workbench, and began to use the lathe to perform rough shaping under the water.
After seriously starting to carve, Shui Yiyao spoke very little and basically never opened her mouth again.
Until the alarm clock rang.
Shui Yiyao stopped working on her knife and looked up at her phone screen: "It's already 10 o'clock?"
-Is your alarm ringing? It sounds like mine.
-10 o'clock, the nightlife begins.
-The host is very serious. He has been doing nothing but carving for 5 hours.
-So how's the progress?
"Look." Shui Yiyao rinsed the sculpture with a hose and showed it to the camera. "The general shape is already here. We'll need to do some fine-tuning tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow I can start fine work. I customized a lathe for fine carving, and it will arrive in a few days. Fine carving is the real deal."
"This sculpture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts may take another two weeks to complete." After she said that, she put the piece of seed material away.
"It's 10 o'clock, time to go to bed."
"Staying up late will kill you." She has experience with this.
"Good evening, audience."
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen in the live broadcast room went black without any buffering.
The barrage was full of question marks.
-Will staying up late kill me? I feel like I'm being implicated.
-The host walked so fast as if he was being chased by a dog.
-Go to bed at 10 o'clock, which is earlier than my grandma.
After three barrages of comments rolled by, the live broadcast room went completely dark.
After taking a shower, Shui Yiyao walked into the bedroom wearing slippers.
She took out the box given to her by the mermaids from her travel bag, walked to the bed, sat down, and put her legs across the bed.
There was a hideous wound on the right ankle, as long as a palm.
Fortunately, when I turned into a human form, I only had a wound, and no toes were missing or anything.
She dug out some ointment from the medicine box and applied it carefully on her ankle. The scar was particularly long and looked like a new injury at first glance.
The medicine is really effective, and the pain is gone. I just don't know when the wound will heal.
After applying the medicine, she put the medicine box back on the bedside table, took the travel bag and took out the Silver Mermaid Tears from it.
The chimaera tears are very shiny and look like pearls, but she only now discovered that the chimaera tears have a colorful glow that most pearls do not have. When refracted by light, they have a sea-blue luster.
It is completely invisible in the sea.
I should have taken more if I had known.
Rare things are not necessarily valuable, but beautiful and rare things are definitely valuable.
She will go online tomorrow to ask the owner who sells mermaid tears if he wants silver shark tears. If not, she will make them into bead carvings.
It was almost half past ten. She put her things away, turned her phone to do not disturb mode, and went to bed.
The next morning, she got up early, logged into the Abyss account, and contacted the boss.
After a while, the boss gave a clear reply: "No." She collected golden shark tears to treat illnesses, and silver shark tears were useless to her.
These items can't be sold on a large scale in the market, as they could easily cause trouble. Shui Yiyao thought about it and decided to use them to shoot a video about bead carving to showcase the craftsmanship. They won't be sold to the public.
After getting breakfast and eating it, Shui Yiyao opened the live broadcast room again. There was no one in the live broadcast room.
She sat down at her workstation.
-Let me see who got up as early as me.
When Shui Yiyao sat down and started working, a barrage of comments floated over.
Shui Yiyao looked up and said, "Welcome 'Heaven Rewards Hard Work' to my live broadcast room."
-Good morning, host.
"Good morning." She lowered her head and continued to shape the jade sculpture.
-It's only 6 o'clock now, you're here so early.
"Not bad." If you go to bed early, you will naturally get up early.
- Jade carving. Very professional, anchor, how come you only have so few followers?
fan?
Shui Yiyao looked up and saw the number of fans in the upper left corner, which showed 12. After only one day of broadcasting, he already had 12 fans?
"Quite a few. I just moved in yesterday."
Moreover, jade carving is just a niche circle, so it is normal that it has few fans.
Shui Yiyao chatted with the barrage for a few words and then started working.
I didn't cook until the alarm rang at noon.
"It's 12 o'clock, time to cook."
-I don’t believe you’re cooking instead of ordering takeout.
-How old is the anchor?
-I won't believe it unless you show me you did it.
"What's so interesting about cooking? Don't you cook at home?" Shui Yiyao asked in confusion.
She knew that some people only ordered takeout, but no one had been ordering takeout since childhood. They had all eaten at home, so why would they still want to watch others cook?
-It can increase appetite.
Seeing the comments, Shui Yiyao took her phone and went into the small kitchen: "Alright. As you wish."
Shui Yiyao checked the comments after lunch, and they were all praising her cooking for looking delicious.
"Just homely."
-I want to make my home-cooked meals like this too!
-The feeling of color, aroma and taste.
Shui Yiyao ignored the comments and said, "Okay, let's get back to carving."
-Don’t anchors take naps?
"No, I can't sleep at night if I take a nap."
-The host, please start a PK. I've been watching you all morning and you haven't started one. It's boring to just watch the live broadcast.
-Agree with pk!
"PK?"
- There is an option in the upper right corner, which allows you to PK randomly. Just click it.
-You can also get novice anchor rewards by starting PK.
Shui Yiyao took a look and found it was there, so she clicked it.
There was also a time option, and she chose the longest one without even looking at it. There was still one minute left in the game, and she didn't want to look up every minute, so she chose fifteen minutes.
[Matching PK objects, please wait, 3, 2, 1...]
[Matching successful, 15-minute countdown begins! ]
Shui Yiyao had never played this before. She looked at it with some curiosity. The screen was divided into two screens, left and right. On the left was her camera, still her workbench, and on the right was another person.
His ID is written in the upper right corner - Qi Shen.
A young man, sitting on a gaming chair, wearing headphones, looking at the camera.
When I saw Shui Yiyao’s workbench, I was stunned.
"Isn't it PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?" The boy looked at Shui Yiyao's ID and raised an eyebrow. "Jade carving?"
The barrage on the right almost filled the entire screen, forming a sharp contrast with the few scattered barrages on Shui Yiyao's side.
His comments are all "Hahaha".
-Qi Shen is so unlucky, he just matched with a guy selling beef jerky, and now he matched with a guy selling jade.
-Aren’t 15-minute games specifically for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds? Why are there always some strange hosts coming in?
Qi Shen cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. There's no suspense in the PK game. I'm going to open a chicken dinner game. If you want to place a bet, place your bets now."
There is really no suspense. Looking at the huge difference in the number of fans, the other party should definitely win.
But when he said that, Shui Yiyao was a little unhappy.
-Miss, you still don’t know how to play this?
Shui Yiyao's fans began to explain the rules to her.
-This is a talent PK, see who gets more rewards within 15 minutes.
After seeing this, the other side also posted:
-The female anchor on the opposite side seemed to be having her first PK.
-Then let’s be more restrained when giving gifts and not discourage people’s enthusiasm for live streaming.
-The battle has begun. This is really bad luck. I didn't have a gun when I landed.
Shui Yiyao also has barrages.
-Come on, little sister, I support you. I'm giving you a meteor shower.
Shui Yiyao: "Thank you, Voice Control Brother, for the meteor shower."
-Oh shit, this lady has an amazing voice. Sorry Qi Shen, I’m going to her live broadcast room.
-Superficial is not you.
-Honestly, the sound is nice.
Shui Yiyao put down the seed material and the lathe, went to the back and got a stack of A4 paper and a pencil.
When no one was paying attention, Shui Yiyao started to write. They all thought she was designing a jade carving and no one paid any attention.
It wasn't until five minutes later that someone discovered it in Qi Shen's live broadcast room.
-Look, what is the girl opposite doing?
-Is she drawing... Qi Shen?
-Oh my god, in this painting, Qi Shen, who is fighting for something, looks so damn handsome!
-Qi Shen, look!
