Chapter 40: Just One Knife



Just when he was considering whether to make two or three more custom-made Rong Xiaobaozi at once, he suddenly received a payment reminder from the buyer. He let go of the thick tail he was holding, and raised his paw to open it with some confusion.

There was suddenly an additional amount of 800,000 star coins in his StarNet account.

Did the buyer make a mistake?

Rong Xiaobaozi immediately found the contact information of the Peacock buyer, "Hello Peacock buyer, please check if you have paid the customization fee multiple times?"

"No, Master, your skills are extraordinary. I have never seen a carver who can reproduce my beautiful feathers so exquisitely. Master, you are definitely worthy of this price. Please accept it."

A peacock replied to him with a big smile.

It was the first time that Rong Mingshi was called a master, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

However, the star coins that the buyer transferred to him were just enough for him to buy the giant energy stone.

So, Rong Xiaobaozi scratched his ears twice and replied, "Then I'll give you a custom one?"

Seeing that the shop owner took the initiative to make this suggestion, a certain peacock immediately sat up straight and replied with shining eyes, "Thank you, Master Shop Owner! Can it be the beast form of other beastmen?"

"sure."

A certain elegant peacock stood up instantly, took out the high-level energy stone that he had treasured for his beast, and sent a message to the shop owner, "Master Shop Owner, one last unwelcome request, could you please carve this high-level energy stone? I can pay for the carving fee separately."

Below this reply, there was an image of a high-level energy stone, a fiery red transparent energy stone.

There is also a 3D high-definition image of a fire fox with flames on its limbs.

Peacock Actor was inexplicably certain that the shop owner's skills were enough to carve high-level energy stones.

After he bought the stone, he looked for some master sculptors, but the results were not ideal. The masters rejected it after their initial perception tests.

...Sometimes, high-level energy stones that are of too good a quality can also be a problem.

Rong Xiaobaozi looked at the energy stone image sent by Peacock and his ears moved slightly.

This high-level energy stone is really great. Its fiery red color is lustrous and transparent. The buyer placed it in a box covered with white velvet, which made it look like a burning flame.

Rong Mingshi had just learned the price of the giant low-level energy stone. When he saw this top-quality high-level energy stone with such beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but stretch out his claws to search on the Star Network.

High-level energy stones that are far inferior in quality cost several million.

This one might be worth tens of millions!

So far, Rong Mingshi has only roughly processed Aojia's high-level energy stone with dragon scales when he was on the desolate planet, creating a prototype of a black dragon, but he has not really carved a high-level energy stone.

In fact, he had never carved a mid-level energy stone...

So, in the spirit of sincerity, Rong Xiaobaozi replied to the buyer sincerely, "I'm sorry, my current perception is not enough to carve high-level energy stones."

Seeing the shop owner's response, a certain peacock actor laughed instead. He replied decisively, "Master shop owner, I will send the stone to you first. You can carve it anytime and to any degree you want. Anyway, I can't find a suitable carver for this stone, so feel free to carve it boldly."

"Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done carving."

Having said that, Rong Xiaobaozi no longer refused and provided the buyer with the address.

A certain peacock looked at the address given to him by the shop owner and raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't expect that the shop owner and he were actually neighbors, and they were only separated by two floating mountains. However, he had no intention of disturbing him rashly. Making friends with a master like the shop owner would take time.

Rong Xiaobaozi thus accepted the order for this high-level energy stone.

The little leopard, now having the money, immediately clapped his paws and bought the huge energy stone. He provided the address to the merchant and waited quietly for the stone to arrive home in a few days.

At the same time, merchants who received customized orders placed orders with the headquarters.

This kind of giant low-level energy stone is usually not stored in the imperial capital, but is shipped from the resource star after going through several disguised procedures.

So, in the end, the order fell into Abel's hands.

The general manager of Resources Star looked at the address written on the order and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

This is their commander's manor in the imperial capital...

They had thought about this before. If the high-level energy stones could not be carved to achieve the effect of soothing mania given the commander's powerful strength, then they could just use giant low-level energy stones.

However, their leader refused because it was impossible for him to stay in one place.

But now, the order has been placed, and it has been meticulously followed through a very formal order procedure...

So, their leader finally decided to erect a zoomorphic sculpture of his own in his own manor?

Why now?

Abel pondered silently that the biggest purpose of this kind of carving was actually known to all the orcs in the empire, which was to prevent the orcs from having a manic episode at home and hurting their families.

To be frank, that is to prevent any accidents from happening during the orc's estrus period and the orcs' intercourse with their own orcs.

Abel's eyes widened instantly, and he suddenly understood what it meant. Their leader had a beast? !

That little leopard, it must be that little leopard!

General Abel laughed, signed the order immediately, and asked someone to organize the shipment as a priority.

However, Rong Xiaobaozi, who only wanted to carve a giant sculpture for Aojia, did not know the deep meaning of the giant sculpture...

At the same time, the express delivery sent by Peacock Film Emperor to Little Leopard soon arrived at the manor. A housekeeper who was running around the manor practicing his physical proficiency strode over with the package in his hand, "Master, your package."

And gave the little leopard a smile that he had practiced countless times and finally no longer distorted.

But the smile didn't last for a second, and suddenly froze, because some idle Ruel had jumped into the manor's central control system again! He was actually stealing his other spare body!

...This damn little smart thing!

Rong Xiaobaozi looked at the butler's frozen smile, raised his paw slightly and patted the butler's arm, "Butler, don't force yourself, you don't have to smile."

The housekeeper looked at the little leopard's paw on his arm and felt relieved. He raised his hand and rubbed the little leopard's head.

Before some little smart thing could run over here wearing his body, he turned around and went out.

When the butler saw the little smart Ruhl wearing a simulated mechanical body without clothes, smoke came out of his head.

...is immoral!

The central processing unit of the mechanical body was fixed on the head, and once again, it was burned by the butler.

Here, Rong Xiaobaozi opened the express smart lock and saw the fiery red high-level energy stone inside. The color seemed to be able to reflect the sunset glow, which was simply eye-catching.

This has a completely different texture and translucency from those low-level energy stones.

Pigeon blood... Rong Mingshi thought of the gemstone he had seen in his previous life. This stone was like a top-grade pigeon blood.

Rong Xiaobao raised his thick claws and touched it. The fiery red energy stone had a slight heat... Rong Mingshi slightly retracted his claws and opened the three-dimensional image sent to him by the buyer.

Rong Mingshi had only been paying attention to the fiery red energy stone before, and had not paid much attention to the image of the fire fox. When he looked up, he noticed that the fox was not only on fire on its limbs, but also had faint red flames on its red fur, so the color of its body looked even more red, and the whole fox looked like a ball of dancing flames.

Rong Mingshi looked down at the stone. There was a very strange fusion point between the two.

An image popped up in his head.

Maybe he could try...

High-level energy stones have a great advantage, that is, unless they are violently destroyed, when the sculptor is carving it, the stone will only be pushed away by the power of the energy stone and there is no possibility of it being damaged by the sculptor at all.

Little Leopard Rong took a breath, stretched out his two paws with a serious look, and took the fiery red transparent stone out of the box.

A little leopard squatted on the table, rubbed its two thick claws together, then gathered its attention and activated the leopard claw tool.

Rong Xiaobaozi's idea was to make the most of the stone, so he outlined the shape of a fox on the surface of the stone very lightly, and then expanded it bit by bit along the outlined thin lines.

This is a fox squatting on the ground, holding a red grape in its mouth and swinging its fluffy tail. The fox's eyebrows are raised, as if with a cunning and wise smile. Its two ears stand on the top of its head, seeming to be turning slightly, alertly listening to the sounds around it. The fluffy tail is swinging beside its head, as if swaying slightly, and the red grapes hanging by its mouth are plump and juicy, and it seems that one can feel the sweetness.

This is completely different from the previous carvings that used colors. Rong Mingshi uses undulating lines, rounded curves, and the color of the energy stone itself to express the shapes of animals.

All the processes went smoothly, but the final polishing process was very difficult. Rong Xiaobao's perception was strong enough, but his control was not enough, so during the polishing process, the little leopard flew away...

When the little leopard fell to the ground mentally prepared, he felt a little unwilling.

He climbed onto the table again and continued polishing the sculpture. Fortunately, this was only the final stage of carving, and even if there was an interruption, it would not have a negative impact on the work.

Rong Xiaobaozi, who was slapped away several times, became more and more courageous. The polishing process was obviously accelerated. When it was finally completed, Rong Xiaobaozi fell down on the ground with his limbs as soft as cotton...

Looking at the cunning fire fox squatting there, Rong Xiaobaozi raised his thick paws to cover his face, and was depressed to determine that carving high-level energy stones was actually a very strenuous job.

As a young leopard whose body has just begun to recover, it seems that in addition to continuing to train his perception control, he also needs to train his body's agility and reaction.

Otherwise, it would be too much trouble if the energy stone was suddenly knocked away during the carving process.

After resting for a while, Rong Xiaobao looked at the high-level energy stone that had been completely carved for the first time, raised his paw to pick it up and put it back into the box where the buyer had placed the stone.

Then, the little leopard, who was actually very tired and had weak limbs, somehow opened the drawer containing the transparent high-level energy stone.

The stone that matched his was fished out from inside.

The slightly cool stone slid between the leopard's paws, sticking to his fur, and looked like a pool of clear spring water gathering in the center of the leopard's paws.

This time, Rong Xiaobaozi did not fix the stone, but held it in his leopard claw heart, and then activated the leopard claw tool.

In sculpting himself, Rong conceived a posture that he considered to be the most powerful.

That's when the little snow leopard suddenly jumps up, stretching out its thick claws and preparing to prey...

Little Leopard Rong carefully controlled his perception and raised the leopard claw tool to try to approach the stone. This time, the sharp dragon scale carving knife accurately scratched the stone, leaving a scratch that outlined the back line of the little snow leopard.

But just after the knife had slashed across, when the little leopard was about to raise his knife for another strike, a huge force suddenly blew the little leopard away, and the energy stone fell on the table with a thud.

This time the little leopard narrowly fell to the ground, lying there powerlessly, looking at the stone on the table from afar, feeling powerless and regretful... One knife!

His current level is only enough to cut once...

After resting for a while, Rong Mingshi climbed up and jumped onto the table, stretching out his claws to pick up the stone.

A cool and comfortable force slowly merged into his claws along with the stone in his hand. Before the little leopard could react, it only felt a slight chill all over its body, and its line of sight and angle of view changed instantly.

Then, Rong Mingshi saw his five fingers that he had not seen for a long time!

“……!”

Rong Mingshi acted decisively, stretched out his hand to grab Aojia's coat that was hanging in the study, grabbed the stone, opened the door and jumped into the bathroom.

In the bathroom mirror appeared the face that Rong Mingshi had seen for more than ten years, as handsome and clean as ever.

However, this didn’t last long, and Aojia’s coat fell to the ground.

A little leopard crawled out from under the clothes, then squatted there and happily sent a message to a big black dragon.

"Big Black Dragon, I'm not ugly."

"Well, not ugly." A certain marshal replied immediately, although he didn't know why the little leopard suddenly said that.

"Big Black Dragon, I'm very handsome."

"Well, very handsome." A certain marshal suspected that someone had said something to the little leopard.

"I'm fine, go ahead."

"...Okay." A certain marshal handled his official business efficiently and prepared to go home early.

Rong Xiaobaozi put away the communication interface of the optical computer, tilted his head, grinned at the little snow leopard in the mirror, swung his thick tail, and walked away arrogantly...
