Chapter 54 The jeweler was actually wearing four pieces of jewelry.
"Pfft—"
After a series of deflated balloon sounds, a blue phantom crawled out of Aladdin's lamp and said impatiently, "Go and get me some animal leg bones, like tigers or wolves."
"Is this the first wish?"
"Yes, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
After saying that, the lamp spirit yawned and shrank back into the lamp.
Chen Dixin was completely baffled, so he decided to just do as it said.
A single animal leg bone is easy to obtain; many players are too lazy to craft it themselves after hunting prey and simply sell the whole animal. However, leg bones from ferocious beasts are much harder to acquire.
Let alone large beasts like tigers and leopards, even wolves are comparable in strength to the monkey king we encountered before.
Ordinary players can only avoid it; to meet this requirement, one must calm their mind and do it themselves.
I wonder when we'll encounter it. At this stage, the ferocious beast is considered a minor boss, and the genie is really asking for an exorbitant price.
She shook her head and continued dealing with other matters.
She had just received a message from Coffee while she was underwater, saying that she had found a suitable deal. This time, she was just missing one last piece of jewelry and was offering six gems in exchange.
【Item Name: Yellow Sapphire Ring】
Item Quality: Green
[Equipment Attribute: Constitution 1]
[Equipment Special Effects: None]
[Item Description: Hmm... Unbelievable, such crude workmanship can actually lock the spiritual aperture.]
A little bit of physical constitution? Shen Dixin raised an eyebrow.
Looking at the picture posted by Coffee, although the name is the same as her ring, the style is not the same, and it is even fixed with copper wire around the gemstone.
These are rather shabby accessories; it's obvious they were made by a player. It's astonishing that someone has already become a jeweler and produced a usable finished product so quickly.
Chen Di was tempted to get to know him, so she asked Coffee to send her the name and she negotiated the deal. The deal was done.
Coffee happily agreed; she had earned over two hundred planks from Chen Dixin over the past few days.
Not only jewelry and accessories, but she also collected a lot of practical daily necessities, as well as cheap items that required specific purchases.
She noticed these not specifically to earn the hardened wooden planks, but because even with reduced resources, a farmer as talented as Coffee would still make a good living.
The first batch of planting pots that were released were recently settled, and the three farmers who had an employment relationship with him have gradually saved up their own assets and are no longer working entirely for Shen Dixin.
In a while, once the farmers have established themselves, their employment relationship will evolve into a more equitable supply chain, as agreed upon from the beginning.
But who is Coffee? She won't stop clinging to Shen Dixin just because he seems to have grown stronger on the surface. In fact, she's gotten even closer to him because of his approachable and principled demeanor.
She did all this without expecting anything in return, purely to express her care and concern. The things she chose were also very much to her liking, and they really improved her quality of life. She is truly a top-notch salesperson.
Finally, late at night, while using the straw mat she found for coffee, and sipping the homemade appetizer she recommended, with disposable dehumidifier packets she had brought out in the room...
After a period of reflection, he began to pursue coffee relentlessly, which not only led to a raise but also brought in the little trinkets he used to collect.
It's not easy to find someone like this to help her! She's dedicated, the quality is high, and she's also very helpful.
I was also very satisfied with the coffee. Being with someone who appreciates your efforts no matter what you do is incredibly rewarding!
Sister Shen is generous and has a great personality. She doesn't look down on other players just because she's strong. Who could refuse her?
The jeweler's name was Xingtu Wanli, and he was looking at the chat box with an anxious expression.
Why did the player who agreed to buy it back out? I said I'd introduce him to other clients, but where are they? Perhaps the price was still too high?
Aside from the dwarf shop, he now has the only jewelry available!
Moreover, it took fourteen gems to produce a usable piece of jewelry. If he doesn't collect enough gems, he doesn't know when he'll be able to make the next one.
However... six gems might indeed be too expensive; adding another one would be enough to buy an accessory with two attribute points at the dwarven shop.
Star Chart Wanli lowered his expectations again. Since he sent the message in the morning, the price has dropped from seven gems to six. Most of the people who inquired about the price could not afford that many gems, and those who could afford them might as well buy from the dwarves.
He's decided to sell five gems now! He can't just starve to death! Xingtu Wanli wiped his face, thinking, "I should never have changed jobs!"
He's only a level three gem craftsman, and being a gem craftsman is his only profession. All the gems he's burned are his entire fortune. If he were to give up this profession now, it would be even worse than starting from scratch!
Just as Xingtu Wanli was contemplating whether to contact each person who had inquired about the price, he received a message from Shen Dixin.
The dejected man suddenly stood up and muttered dreamily, "How did she know I'm a jeweler... no, she wants to buy my ring, and she wants to be my sugar daddy... oops, sponsor me?!"
Is this the legendary angel investor?
Xingtu Wanli was so excited that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he remained silent. Shen Dixin thought he was dissatisfied with the low treatment, so he turned over and got up to count his gems.
Today I retrieved 9 gems from the shipwreck. Adding them to what I already had, even though there's no such thing as borrowing gems when it comes to borrowing resources, I've been saving gems for over a week now, totaling 22 gems. I also got 18 pearls from the mermaid.
She said she could buy the Star Chart Ring with six gems, and after confirming that his profession was gem craftsman, she wanted to sign a training agreement with him.
The agreement stipulated that Shen Dixin would store the gems with him, and once Xingtu Wanli finished the product, the previous gems would be used to settle the account. The terms included priority purchase rights and a promise that the price would never increase.
The purchase involves spending five gems to buy accessories that provide a certain attribute bonus. For each subsequent attribute point gained, three more gems will be added. Accessories with special attributes will be discussed separately.
If Xingtu Wanli grows up, she will make a huge profit from this price!
According to Shen Dixin's judgment, players who can switch to jewelry craftsmanship and produce finished products within half a month, whether they secretly used a large number of gems or were exceptionally talented and mastered the skill without spending many gems, all demonstrate that this person has certain abilities and a high success rate in their investments.
She raised her hand and sent a message to Xingtu Wanli.
AAA Material Wholesaler Lao Shen: I have 40 gems on hand. Think about it. If you don't survive the early stages, no matter how much you earn later, it's none of your business.
Xingtu Wanli finally came to his senses, his mind filled with wonderful fantasies, and he was just short of rushing to her, sliding down to his knees, hugging her legs, and crying.
Of course, he would recognize Old Shen. If there were players who were oblivious to what was going on in the past and didn't recognize Shen Dixin after the rankings came out, that would be pure nonsense. He's an ultimate master!
A vast expanse of stars: Having drifted through half a lifetime, I only regret not having met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godmother!
"Pfft."
Shen Dixin couldn't help but laugh. The two of them happily signed the contract and completed the transaction, exchanging the gemstones and ornaments.
Now the last accessory slot is full. Like equipment, accessories also have their own set effects.
Set bonus:
[1. Fully equip all accessory slots, Constitution +1. (Achieved)]
[2. Wearing accessories in different positions grants +1 Strength. (Not achieved)]
[3. Wearing accessories of the same grade grants +1 Agility. (Not yet achieved)]
[4. Wearing accessories with different primary buff attributes increases damage reduction by 5%. (Not achieved)]
[5. Wearing accessories from the same series grants +1 to all attributes. (Not achieved)]
The set effects of accessories are quite tricky, and there aren't many sets that are easy to collect.
Achieving the second goal with the current equipment is quite difficult, since bracelets and rings are both considered jewelry. Theoretically, Chen Dixin, who has two rings and two bracelets, is wearing four pieces of jewelry.
There are many types of jewelry, such as brooches, face ornaments, waist pendants and hair accessories, at least ten or eight kinds. Unfortunately, the less common the jewelry, the rarer it is, and it takes a lot of effort to find it.
Thinking of this, Shen Dixin quickly sent a message to Xingtu Wanli, asking him to try making simple items like earrings and hair accessories first, since she didn't have any of those.
Xingtu Wanli naturally took Shen Dixin's words to heart. When he learned that she had a lot of dusty jewelry, he asked her to send some pictures for reference. Xingtu, who was originally just a humble office worker, said that he really didn't know much about jewelry!
After handling these matters, Shen Dixin acted swiftly and decisively, directly announcing her thoughts on controlling prices in the chat channel. No, not thoughts; to be precise, she was merely issuing a notification and did not intend to listen to the opinions of other players.
