Chapter 108 Thunderclouds Roll In, Elegance Lasts But Three Seconds
The remaining four compasses were explored by Shen Dixin over the next few days. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything rare; he mainly acquired a large bag of dusty jewels, which he temporarily lent to Xingtu Wanli for reference.
He discovered that as the quality of jewelry increased, the requirements for the base material also became higher; simply piling on materials would no longer increase attributes.
Just like a chef, to create a high-end dish, it must be visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious. Similarly, in jewelry, the aesthetic appeal of the color scheme and design patterns are taken into account when making a judgment.
Who knows how a bunch of data can determine the quality of jewelry!
Xingtu Wanli was able to understand these things thanks to the help of his friends. That day, he was puzzled as to why he had inexplicably made an accessory with three attribute points.
He clearly didn't put much effort into it; the gemstones inlaid on it aren't the most numerous or the largest. It's a product he made casually in his spare time.
In an attempt to replicate this magic, Xingtu Wanli tried to imitate the ingredients, workmanship, and shape, but none of them could achieve the three attribute bonuses, and even two attribute bonuses were rare.
That's terrifying. After thinking about it for two whole days, he finally remembered to send this thing to the group. Although he himself can benefit from a lot of accessory bonuses, good accessories are provided to teammates by default.
Star Chart Across the Land: A waist chain with +3 Agility, anyone want it? [Image]
This picture, with its extremely harsh lighting, almost shocked everyone.
Coffee or Tea: I can never resist the retro style. It's like I'm in love. Star Map, did you really make this?
AAA Building Materials Wholesale Xiaoming: Congratulations! You can make accessories with three attributes. The value of Star Chart has increased again!
Long live fluffy! So beautiful! You've changed so much in just a few days! Star Chart Bro has been reborn!
Luck is on my side: @AAA Materials Wholesale Lao Shen, sis, come out and take charge, or everyone's going to start a fight.
What he casually draped on the table was a brass waist chain, inlaid with dark and light green gemstones, with a slightly longer branch hanging down on the left, from which hung a dazzling ruby.
The bronze branches, which appeared aesthetically pleasing and chaotic to Xingtu Wanli, were clearly flowers growing from among the vines when viewed up close. The dim light in the room only added to their ancient and mysterious aura.
Xingtu Wanli was deeply shocked. It took him a while to understand that everyone was not mocking him, but genuinely felt that his work was of a very high standard. They said that even a plain piece would probably be in high demand, let alone a three-attribute accessory.
Star Map Across the Miles: I... I think this is how I conceived it?
He wiped his sweat, thankfully he hadn't told anyone about his struggles, and he could still maintain his inscrutable demeanor by sending a cute emoji to pretend everything was under control.
When facing Chen Dixin, Xingtu Wanli finally told the truth.
We have to say something. Our big investor is investing so generously, but we need to see the output and returns. If they misjudge his capabilities, then there will be a big problem, and he really won't be able to do it again.
Once the two reviewed the situation, Shen Dixin discovered the problem: God had opened a door for Xingtu Wanli, but closed a window for him.
Even so, he was very talented in jewelry making, and could handle various techniques with ease. He was a legendary craftsman who could become a self-taught master with just an introductory manual.
But this person had absolutely no artistic talent. Before this, he had only made basic jewelry, the kind that had a metal setting and gemstones, so even Shen Dixin couldn't tell.
This waist chain is the only piece of jewelry that Xingtu Wanli has made in a long time that is both aesthetically pleasing and well-designed.
Xingtu Wanli felt as if a bolt from the blue had turned him to ashes; he was almost on his knees, clutching his head, with mournful background music playing.
Design? What's that? He doesn't know how to do that!
Even with things he created himself, he found it difficult to grasp the aesthetic atmosphere.
Xingtu Wanli only thought that the waist chain looked dusty and dull. He felt sorry for the materials and replaced the gold with copper.
The metal block has been processed into other shapes that can be used as fuel! This step saved at least three or four gold bars. He's not one of those heartless craftsmen who just throw money around when someone sponsors them and don't care about the materials at all.
The colors of the gemstones were chosen randomly, and they weren't even from the same color family! Red was even mixed with green.
After listening to Xingtu Wanli's description, Shen Dixin's head was spinning. She vaguely realized that the rules for making high-level jewelry included design, but she was not someone with design talent.
After holding it in for so long, Chen Dixin could only solve the problem in his own way.
She first sent over all the dusty jewelry she had collected. Aesthetic sense can be cultivated later in life. She didn't believe that Xingtu Wanli, who was surrounded by jewelry every day, could not develop the mind of a jewelry craftsman.
Even if it really doesn't work, isn't this a way to achieve our goal indirectly?
She first asked if I could design jewelry, and after we got to know each other better, we realized that our real-life professions were no longer a secret. After all, I'm an artist, so I should be able to draw something similar, right?
As for luck, I can't control it. At most, she can only think of accessories that are slightly more gorgeous than the basic ones. Anything more complicated would be a disaster.
Chen Dixin opened another window, offering generous rewards and honest service to those of all ages for purchasing jewelry design drawings!
At the same time, I silently prayed that the person who used to be a designer was still alive. Wouldn't it be better to go back to the old profession than to work hard as a bricklayer? If they have strong business skills, long-term cooperation is not a problem.
Who would have thought that the person applying for the job was an old acquaintance?
He calmly and professionally explained the process and outline of the design drawing transaction.
Spider Toast: I'm speaking from the heart, I trust Sister Shen wouldn't cheat me~
Spider Toast watched the screen with great interest, sticking out his loyalty in the chat box, looking like a naive and innocent character.
She was just wondering how to get closer to Shen Dixing again when the opportunity came along, and it was even a perfect match in terms of expertise! Before joining the company, she was a jewelry designer with four years of experience and a good reputation in the industry, and she was in the prime of her career.
Designs come easily to her without any need for thought; she simply improves upon her past best-selling designs. The quality of her designs has been tested by money and time, so there's no problem with that!
If one's morals were even lower, providing other designers' drawings wouldn't be out of the question. After all, people are in a survival game; who cares about copyright? That's something you can only think about after you've survived.
As a designer who keeps up with trends and is eager to learn, Spider Toast remembers many exquisite ornaments, the kind of memories that are engraved in his mind and that he can draw design sketches at any time.
She wished she could just take out a dozen blueprints and knock Chen Dixin unconscious right now.
If you don't have the skills, you won't take on the job. Shen Dixin believes that Spider Toast has the ability.
...The main problem is that she couldn't find a second applicant; the channel only had a little over 10,000 people, which was too few.
Shen Dixin considered that it might take time to draw up the blueprints, but there was no movement until the new disaster struck. Only the hardworking Spider Toast kept spitting out the design blueprints one by one.
Now I'm truly resigned to it, or rather, the design provided by Spider Toast is enough for Star Map Ten Thousand Miles to work on for one or two months, so there's really no need for more.
Chen Dixin sat at the bow of the boat, feeling the sea breeze, and gazed at the sky at a melancholy 45-degree angle.
The cool moment lasted only three seconds. With thunderclouds rolling and lightning flashing, if they didn't go inside soon they would be struck by lightning!
All the ship's facilities had already been moved indoors; not a single wooden plank remained outside.
The shipwright had prepared an exceptionally luxurious cabin and villa for her, with the interior space being larger than the exterior! Not only did she have room for her own things, but Lu Mingang's belongings next door were also crammed in.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Dixin chose to open up space first; it would be safer to hide in the ship if the next disaster struck.
Seemingly a threat, seemingly a warning, the divine punishment was unleashed just after midnight.
"boom--"
The billowing sails were bruised once again; the sails collapsed.
It even produced crackling sparks, which were instantly extinguished by the fine rain.
Without a doubt, it's unlikely that Chen Dixin will be able to fix it this week; even if he did, he'd be doomed to be struck by lightning.
If you want to go to the island, just get a pilot card. This thing isn't restricted by the sails; perhaps some mysterious force is propelling it forward.
As the sea grew rougher, Chen Qingxin adapted well, feeling as if she were riding a rocking horse. As long as it wasn't a storm that would throw her out of the house, she could ignore the turbulence and fall asleep peacefully.
You need to sleep well to have the energy to work!
