Chapter 298 The High Status of Craftsmen

Lu Yuan thought about it and realized that if they wanted to sell local specialties, they must focus on vision. I have resources that you don’t have, so there will be higher added value.

It is actually very difficult to get a particularly good price just by selling extraordinary fruits and extraordinary minerals.

"Some materials centered around the poppy tree can be sold."

“Let’s sell all the shells of the immortal giant turtle!”

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 thirty years. Well, if we can sell them, we'll sell them. If the old goes, the new will come."

"I understand. I will try to figure out 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 abilities.

He touched his backpack and quietly took out several black iron swords he had made, a few carved buttons, rune knives, etc. from the storage space - he was quite nervous about being judged by another civilization for his hard work.

There were also a few extraordinary fruits, some creations of human craftsmen, and some miscellaneous things.

The supplies in this backpack are worth a lot of money.

"Is that enough?"

"That's enough." Lu Tiantian lowered his voice, "Don't worry, these ratmen are quite rational and won't embarrass a negotiator like me. We are not worth much."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, your divine skill "Super Thinker" is really worth one hundred spiritual charms.

"Legendary Buddhist beads... There are 21 in total, all raw materials."

"No, no, you come and negotiate for that yourself. Don't give it to me. I'm afraid these ratmen will cheat me... But if you want to sell it, I can mention it as a bargaining chip. What do you want in exchange?"

"Weapon materials..."

"no problem!"

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart that the children have indeed grown up and can stand on their own.

"Hey, you guys take your time negotiating here. Don't be too anxious. We'll pick you up after the Sky City lands."

…

In this way, the population split into two, with one part remaining in the Shumiba civilization.

Lu Yuan took the "Lingbao Tongjian Kaoyi" and rode the "flying dragon" back to the sky city.

Seeing the familiar city, people coming and going, laughing children and white-haired old people, I have an inexplicable sense of security.

No matter how good a place is, it is not as good as your own doghouse...

If he were alone and wandering in Pangu Continent, he might have been integrated into the Shumiba civilization, treated as a guest of honor, and gotten drunk.

Maybe he has even become a close friend with the Rat King! Unfortunately, he now has many ties and is no longer alone...

He has his own home...

"Thank you for your hard work, buddy!" Lu Yuan patted the "Flying Dragon" insect's head and jumped off its back.

The “Flying Dragon” roared happily: “Wow!!”

There was a large group of people in the square, looking eagerly awaiting the event.

"Comrades, we only talked for a few hours and didn't gain much, so we bought this book."

"Take a look at this price, is it appropriate?"

The scientists in the investigation room studied this book with unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Those with translation abilities, quickly 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 absolutely worth the money!"

Treasure hunter Lu Ying, who was 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: "The idealistic energy has many variations, and there is currently no particularly good instrument to measure the data. Weights and measures are really hard to find."

"For example, it is hard to say how much idealistic energy a pomegranate fruit has."

"And each pomegranate fruit is a little different in size."

In order to measure the amount of idealistic energy, a lot of supernatural materials need to be consumed to formulate some strict "rulers".

The cost will naturally go up.

So humans have been thinking about the issue of unified units for a long time, but due to cost issues, progress has been limited.

Now a book has appeared out of nowhere, providing a complete set of calculation methods, which can reduce a lot of experimental costs.

And for future development, the "weights and measures" were unified.

Lu Yuan understood and said with a smile: "Then you guys study it first."

"I'll go and take a look at what's salable in our warehouse... Sell as much as possible."

"By the way, please send all the information above Legendary level to my email as soon as it is translated."

"Haha, that's for sure... Among us, only Team Lu has made legendary equipment."

“Those guys have to work hard too!”

According to the description in this book, a piece of 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 would the original green civilization destroy its own masterpiece during the "Ascension Ceremony"?

Everyone finally understood the value of the great craftsman, who was simply a human-shaped gold mine!

Seeing everyone's green eyes, Lu Yuan said quickly: "Legendary gloves, unless you are extremely poor, don't sell them. This is the bottom of the box, and... to put it bluntly, 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 were also made by him independently.

It's his personal property and no one can find any fault with it.

In addition, the gloves were studied by the craftsmen every day, and they were even worn for a few minutes... If anyone dared to suggest selling 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 something quickly? What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged Master Guo, whose name was Guo Tiezhu, was the former blacksmith in the village and the one with the most superb skills except Lu Yuan.

He sighed and said, "I have no inspiration. After so many years, the highest level is the Excellence level. There is still one level away from the Legend level."

"When you are young, you don't know the value of inspiration. When you are old, you look at the sky and cry. Now the technology has improved, but the surging passion has been lost!"

Lu Ying smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, it's because he eats too well. If he lives a poor life for a while, maybe his inspiration will come back."

Guo Tiezhu thought about it and said seriously: "It makes sense..."

"Eating lots of meat and fish every day is really a hard life! 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 everyone's conversation, Lu Yuan felt very relaxed.

In fact, he really wanted to know the value of the immortal equipment.

However, he really couldn't make this secret public, so he could only brag about it in private with Lao Mao and his beautiful fangirl.

Suddenly, he had a small epiphany, and countless fragments suddenly emerged in his mind.

Flowing water, flying birds, journeys, smiles, cultivation, harvests, thousands of tracks intertwine, giving birth to the miracle of a hundred flowers in full bloom.

This epiphany is not inspiration, but a unique understanding of "luck".

It’s hard to describe, but it seems to exist.

With the help of the power of "luck" and going with the flow, forging equipment may reach a higher level, which is the so-called "right time".

"Make some equipment first and practice!"

Lu Yuan held a small knife in his right hand and a small piece of "Ice Jadeite" in his right hand and started carving.

The material is ordinary, just an "inferior grade" extraordinary material that can slightly improve people's concentration.

What he wants to make is a jade pendant.

It is extremely difficult to make a small accessory like this into an extraordinary item.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Because ordinary armor, helmets, swords, and daggers have protective properties due to the materials themselves, even if the craftsmanship of the craftsman is poor, there is always a guaranteed return.

However, there is no guarantee for the quality of pendants like jade. If the craftsmanship is poor, the quality may be even worse than the natural 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 it was because of the communication with the Shumiba civilization that Lu Yuan was moved, and he combined the story that happened today with the jade pendant.

An hour later, the jade pendant was completed - it was in the shape of a turtle shrinking its shell.

[Ice Jadeite·Accessory Pendant, Master Craftsman·Lu Yuan carved the shape of the immortal giant turtle on the ice chalcedony. 】

[Although this turtle has shrunk into its shell, it has a resolute gaze and fearless courage. It is fighting for the entire civilization.]

[The main colors of the work are white and black, and it records a war that took place in the early ninth era of Pangu Continent. (Artwork)]

[Ability: Self-cultivation. After wearing it, 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! Became a general level!"

Many craftsmen gathered around to watch and marveled at the work.

The original ice chalcedony base material was of inferior quality, with the function of adding 3% mental power recovery at most, but now it has been upgraded!

Three entries, pretty awesome.

Of course, a person cannot wear too many extraordinary items.

It is impossible to wear a thousand or ten thousand jade pendants and make yourself look like a superman.

Because extraordinary interference will occur between strange objects.

Unless it is a specially made multi-piece set, some compatibility issues are inevitable.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but was not satisfied, because it was his first time carving this kind of base material, and he was a little unfamiliar with the control of the softness and hardness of the stone.

So he picked up another piece of ice chalcedony and re-carved a more perfect sculpture of an indestructible giant turtle.

[Master craftsman Lu Yuan's casual work, not taking too much effort, but still quite exquisite. ]

[Ability: Cultivate the body and mind. After wearing it, the recovery of mental strength increases by 5-9% (low-quality artificial item +++)]

This time, the evaluation has actually dropped.

"How can it be just a casual work?" Many craftsmen discussed.

The second piece is obviously more refined than the first, but the effect is not as good.

Everyone imitated and carved an immortal giant turtle.

Although these craftsmen who have been immersed in this craft for a long time can make the statues look very lifelike, the best they can do is to carve "poor quality grade ++", and the lower ones are simply "poor quality grade".

Seeing this, Lu Yuan commented: "That is to say, the creation with the help of the 'luck' of civilization is very important."

"Creation is a necessary step for the birth of a large number of spiritual rhythms. The story background is also very important."

"But subsequent plagiarism and reference are of little significance."

"Also, the title may be quite important... With the title of Master Craftsman, even if you do something casually, the result will be better than that of an ordinary craftsman."

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

Unexpectedly, in Pangu Continent, "name" is also very important! Why?

Of course, Lu Yuan actually knew that the "name" actually represented the fortune of the Ninth Era and was a walking gold mine.

This is something more metaphysical, not easy to understand, but it really exists.

"Everyone, work hard to create legendary equipment and earn the title of Master Craftsman!"

…

In the following few days, Lu Yuan was obsessed with new insights and immersed in creation, unable to extricate himself.

The fortune of civilization is indeed amazing. If we follow the trend, we will achieve great things.

However, this thing sounds very metaphysical and seems difficult to teach.

Other scientists were busy selecting the landing site for the sky city.

People are preparing to give the entire city a good rest, instead of letting it half-float as before.

So a site had to be chosen that was flat enough and could bear the weight of the entire city.

…

In addition, there was finally a belated contact from the Rize civilization.

It can be seen that these lizardmen are very nervous and have no idea why there was a conflict between the Shumiba civilization and the Sky City.

And 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 Lize civilization, friends of humanity, I am Lu Yuan."

"Some interesting stories did happen on our side. They have now been resolved peacefully."

“(Briefly describe the whole process)…”

"Although the unspoken rules of the Eighth Era were imposed on us by the Shumiba Civilization, they are also an inevitable evolution in the future."

"The future is cruel. The benefits of war are really huge. Even if you slaughter the weakest civilization, you will gain the benefits of divine skills. One hundred divine skills may have tens of thousands of spiritual charms. The income from normal development is really not much."

"My dear friends, I sincerely 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 a safe zone forever. We will definitely be troubled by this."

"In addition, the civilization left over from the Eighth Era cannot be just the Shumiba Civilization. There must be more alien races."

"These alien civilizations will promote this set of rules. This trend is difficult to change. We must be prepared for this."
