Although Shen Mingxi did not go to the First Research Institute openly, she had been there several times when she was hiding, and she also saw those diligent and selfless old scientists.

Some of them are only in their early fifties but have a head full of white hair. Some are very tall but are always hunched over due to illness. However, their mental state is particularly good and they are full of energy. Whenever you see them, their eyes are always filled with hope.

However, if such jade were taken out, it would definitely cause a sensation. Even if other people didn't know about it, it would attract the attention of many people in this circle.

Even if Shen Mingxi changed his appearance, carving the jade pendant would not be completed in one or two hours. After handing the jade to the master who can carve the jade pendant, it would take at least a few days to wait. So there is no guarantee that the jade pendant will be in the hands of a stranger.

But no one she knew knew how to carve jade pendants.

In the past, the jade pendants and necklaces that Shen Mingxi gave to his family were all bought ready-made. But now, not to mention that good quality ones are hard to find, the price of jade has increased by more than ten times in the past year compared to last year. In other words, a jade pendant that might have cost a hundred yuan last year will cost at least a thousand yuan this year.

Even though there are more and more self-employed individuals and people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan appear one after another, 1,000 yuan is still not a small sum.

Besides, she had so many jades in her hands, but she still had to spend money to buy them. She always felt that this deal was not cost-effective. After squatting there and thinking for a long time, Shen Mingxi's eyes lit up. Why didn't she learn some jade carving now?

She has the strength as long as she has the tools.

And she was not completely without any basic knowledge in painting. It was just a jade pendant, but she could carve it into the shape of a peace locket. Moreover, jade carving can now be done half by machine and half by hand. As long as the patterns are not too complicated or exquisite, she should be able to learn it in a month or two.

Moreover, her body can also enter the space and operate completely in the space. This means that the jade here will not be circulated on the market. Even if one or two jade pendants are circulated occasionally, it will not arouse others' suspicion.

This is a good idea. Shen Mingxi clapped his hands and stood up happily beside the pool. After all, the smallest jade here is as big as a football. They are all top-quality jade. Except for some rough edges and corners, there are so many places where they can be used. It would be very dangerous to take them out.

This is also the reason why Shen Mingxi never sold it.

Because Shen Yu did not support her doing so. After all, all the mining of a jade mine is recorded, and most of them are controlled by the state. Of course, there are also individuals who contract them, but the quality varies. If such top-quality jade were to flow out, it would definitely arouse the envy and scramble of many people.

You know, more and more people are collecting jade these days.

So Shen Mingxi still felt that her previous method was the best. She was young now, and it was not difficult for her to learn these things. She just needed to find the time.

So, if you think about it, you must do it.

So Shen Mingxi went to the system panel and started searching page by page to see if there was anyone selling jade cutting machines.

He looked for it in the system store first. After the upgrade, there were a wide variety of products. On the last page of products, he actually found a small cutting machine. Shen Mingxi was so happy that his face was dancing with joy. However, when he saw the blessing value below, Shen Mingxi couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, and his brows were twisted together. This small cutting machine required a blessing value of 10,000.

She could change it now, but these 10,000 blessing points would reduce her total wealth by one-fifth.

A reduction of one fifth is no small number.

The small cutting machine is intelligent, easy to operate and highly intelligent. It not only cuts but also has a set of engraving tools. In other words, with the 10,000 luck points, Shen Mingxi can carve out what he wants within three days.

Just like the earliest point-and-shoot camera, it is called point-and-shoot because it is simple and easy to operate.

Of course, using a point-and-shoot camera doesn't mean you can take the best and most beautiful photos if you don't know anything about it, because if you can't master all of its functions, then it's very likely that you're not playing with the camera, but the camera is playing with you.

The same goes for this mini cutting machine. If you cannot master all the functions above, a large piece of jade will be ruined. But it must be said that its cutting function is particularly intelligent.

As long as you understand all the instructions, there will basically be no problem.

Shen Mingxi thought about it and used 10,000 luck points to buy a small cutting machine and matching carving tools. Although she might not become a sculptor in the future, with so many jades in the pond and her great strength, if she had the ability not to expose herself, she could let these things benefit people who have made great contributions to society like the old scientists of the First Research Institute, or even some good and kind people.

In short, Shen Mingxi felt that she could do something with the space within her ability.

Shen Mingxi used 10,000 luck points to buy a small cutting machine without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, a small machine and a set of carving tools appeared in the storage compartment. Shen Mingxi happily took out these things, thought about it, and put them in the villa.

Although the villa is now fully furnished, it is impossible for Shen Mingxi to live here. It is like a model house.

Moreover, under their current conditions, there is really no need for them to enter the space, but Shen Mingxi thinks that after the system is upgraded to the next level, he will see if Feng Anchen can come in as well.

After all, this system can be said to be inextricably linked to Feng Anchen, but I don’t know why this space seems to reject Feng Anchen at this level.

Shen Mingxi didn't know why, and Feng Anchen didn't care either, so after trying it once, he let the matter go. However, Shen Mingxi knew that since his sister could come in, Feng Anchen should be able to do it too.

Maybe it should be fine after one level up.

The instruction manual was right at hand, so Shen Mingxi sat down at the desk and began to study it seriously.

For a top student, reading these instructions only takes a few minutes.

After reading the instructions, Shen Mingxi started operating the small cutting machine. This small cutting machine is solar-powered and does not require power to start like the cutting machines on the market now, or some even require diesel to start.
