I can't be an NPC

Chapter 226 What is a master?
"Can it be done?"

The elves also paid enough attention to Li Wen's request.

Don't boast about Haikou, but if you can't even make a gourd painting, it's ridiculous.

And depending on the difficulty of completing this blueprint and the value of the creation, they still have to ask the Lord City Lord for a price.

For them, this request is a transaction.

The city lord pays, and they contribute.

In business and business, they have been staying in Jianfeng City doing nothing, and it would be good to get a business for their homeland.

Facing his question, the female wood elf who took off the glasses made of special crystal from the bridge of her nose nodded solemnly.

"Yes, but the technical content of it... is a bit complicated."

The eyes of the leading male high elves lit up.

"That is to say, they humans will be very slow to make it?"

I have what others don't have, and I have what others have. This is the only way to make money.

"Slowness is one thing, and more importantly, it is easy to fail. Blue chalcedony is not the best choice, and its texture is not evenly distributed. If the control is not free enough, it is easy to cause structural damage to the jade itself between light and heavy hands. It will be scrapped immediately."

Inferior gemstones have reasons for inferior quality, and it is not just talk that cheap gems are not good.

"I tried to use more advanced chrysoberyl or blue crystals to make this magical creation, but all failed."

"How could it fail?"

The female wood elf raised the blueprint scroll in her hand and explained: "The master Li Wen added a limited structure to it, which only takes effect on the only gemstone, blue chalcedony. Unfortunately, I didn't even way to discover which part of the structure is the forbidden structure."

Another female high elf on the side added: "Actually, I don't understand why Master Li Wen limited the use of blue chalcedony to create this kind of magic creation. Applying such profound gemstone skills to this inferior gemstone is a huge challenge. It seems like total recklessness to me. It's art and it shouldn't be so cheap."

"Could it be that the drawings he designed himself are not necessarily..."

The leading male elf whispered something.

Most of the elves are unwilling to speculate on others with the greatest malice, so a "bad guy" is needed to lead the team to prevent the entire envoy from suffering when facing cunning humans.

This is the mission of his leading brother.

The last female high elf who spoke also nodded in agreement.

"In fact, after studying this blueprint, I also have doubts about it. Gemstone skills are far from the talent shown by Master Li Wen in Dao and spells in the past. It is hard for me to believe that there are such geniuses among human beings. Maybe... ...Master Li Wen has some unavoidable difficulties."

The leading male elf shook his head, and he didn't want to make too much arrangements for others behind his back.

"So can this thing be manufactured on a large scale? How long does it take to manufacture a single one?"

The female wood elf seemed to be the expert in the field among the envoys, and all eyes were on her.

After hesitating for a while, she rigorously gave a conservative answer.

"For me, even if I'm in a good state, it takes at least... half an hour to complete one."

"Row!"

The leading male elf's tone became melodious, and he appeared to be in a good mood.

Of course, the value of using the five-ring spell will not be low, and this difficulty also makes humans helpless, so they will definitely be able to offer a good price, and the city lord who comes here will also be able to understand the reason.

And large scale... means more orders.

Now everyone in the family can open up and purchase a few carts of grapes grown by humans on the Hanyu Highland!
"I'm going to find the city lord right now."

The female wood elf took the initiative to keep up.

"me and you together."

……

Li Wen, who focused on engraving the pattern of the magic circle on the jade with the smallest carving knife, seemed extremely serious. He enlarged the fine picture of the depiction in the form of magic projection so that Cadia on the side could see Li Wen's operation clearly.

The tip of the engraving knife infused with magic power shone with a slight white light, and when carving lines, it left a dancing magic power with a magical aftertaste, just waiting for a certain moment to complement other magic powers and bloom together with their due brilliance.

The skill of carving magic circles on gemstones is more difficult than the normal use of magic circles. Depending on the texture of gemstones, the carving knives used and the required strength are different. However, the gemstones used by humans are known to be as high as at least There are sixty or seventy kinds, so there are special gem skills to summarize these skills.

Helen was not interested in the art of carving, but in the people who were using it.

The soft-looking Li Wen unexpectedly exudes a certain mature charm in a serious state. The opposition and interweaving of senses and temperament make it impossible to distinguish which one is Li Wen's real appearance.

However, neither of the two onlookers had imagined that Li Wen's speed of drawing such a complex magic circle was astounding.

A continuous line in the picture magnified by the magic projection has never been interrupted, and a single stroke connects the texture carving of the entire magic circle.

It is precisely because of this that the flow of magic power on the entire magic circle seems to be integrated, as if it were made by nature.

Not a single breakpoint!
The two spellcasters who realized this belatedly stared at the ordinary piece of jade in front of Li Wen in surprise. Li Wen's extraordinary skills had already made this piece of blue chalcedony reach a height that it could not reach. .

However, it is not over. The drawing of the magic circle is only the first step. Now... the inner space of this piece of blue chalcedony is opened to Li Wen, allowing Li Wen to reshape its inner jade structure with spirit.

Most of the gemstones in the Gaia continent can be regarded as high-value items not only because they are beautiful or rare, but their internal natural structure is actually the embodiment of the magic net.

And only by using the magic circle using the "mystery lock" technique to remove the jade from the goddess's magic net, Li Wen can start to reshape and solidify its internal gemstone structure to achieve the magic effect he needs.

As Li Wen's spirit enveloped the jade, a shining light spot suddenly appeared from inside the jade.

Then, at an incredible speed, it began to light up its trajectory inside the jade.

Like an endlessly gluttonous snake that never bumps its head to its tail.

An extremely delicate and complex spell model was molded inside the jade in one go, and the whole process only took about three seconds, which was about the same time as casting a teleportation spell.

"Gudong."

Helen swallowed subconsciously, but heard the same voice coming from beside her.

The two onlookers looked at each other with the same shock in their eyes.

The difficulty of casting spells and reshaping structures in jade is different.

Although it only takes about 3 seconds to cast a spell normally, but in actual use, if you want to recall a spell model completely within a few seconds and outline and rewrite a spell model inside other things The organizational structure of spell materials is completely different.

It's too spicy and I drop Bobby!
Li Wen, who was concentrating on making it, didn't pay attention to everything that happened outside, as if he had completely forgotten that he had to teach Cadia how to make the Returning Curse.

He is not a good teacher and does not know how to teach people.

But it doesn't matter, if you don't understand it once, you can always understand it twice, right?

If you don't understand it twice, you can do it four times, and if you don't understand it eight times.

Even after a pig has watched it hundreds or thousands of times, it should be enlightened, right?
Li Wen's teaching highlights a large amount of management.

Without even the slightest pause in the middle, Li Wen picked up a piece of blue chalcedony that Helen had prepared to put aside again.

The dream-like smooth speed was once again displayed in front of the two of them.

This kind of art-like skill has a certain psychedelic beauty, which makes the eyes of the two sink, forgetting everything outside.

It wasn't until a soft call sounded outside the door that Helen blinked her eyes and came back to her senses.

"Lord City Lord."

Looking at Li Wen's face with concern, he found that he was not disturbed by this kind of disturbance, so he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked outside lightly.

Outside the opened door was a guard in silver armor, "My lord, there are two members of the elf envoy asking to see you."

"So fast?"

Helen subconsciously exclaimed. In her memory, she and Li Wen had only returned to the City Lord's Mansion not long ago.

Is there an answer so soon?
It seems that not only Li Wen's craftsmanship is good, but also the elves are not bad.

"Take them to the lobby."

Speaking of which, Helen hesitated a little, "Wait! Just bring it here."

Anyway, Li Wen happened to be making it, so the speed shouldn't be too slow.

This is a business, and in order to deal with the elves' possible exorbitant prices, she must bring out some facts that she does not have to rely entirely on their elves to lower the price.

"Shh~"

Helen, who saw the two elves at the door, immediately made a "boo" gesture at them.

Then he carefully explained: "Master Li Wen is making a charm inside."

"Master Li Wen is also making it?"

"The production process of this creation is not simple, it is very blue and spicy~"

The two elves looked at each other with interest.

The short speculation before jumped into my mind again—could it be that this blueprint was really developed by Master Li Wen himself?

Or at least someone with a certain talent is learning to make?
"Can we go and see?"

The leading male elf asked in a low voice.

There is no harm without comparison.

First look at the level of human beings, so that the city lord can know the value of their elves providing this kind of technical service.

then……

Two human mages and two elf mages stood in front of Li Wen's desk together.

The frequently flickering spell glow quickly flashed across their faces.

The four people sluggishly followed Li Wen's movements and mechanically turned their heads from left to right, trying to keep up with Li Wen's speed.

Pick up on the left, put down on the right.

Pick up on the left, put down on the right.

It takes about 20 seconds to make a complete return spell. Occasionally, it will be slower when encountering some special rough stones, but the average time to make a single return spell is definitely less than half a minute, which even includes Li Wenna The time to take the rough stone and place the finished spell.

And in this nearly half a minute, most of it fell on the depiction circle.

It's not just a matter of uneven texture distribution of blue chalcedony.

As a natural gemstone, the shape of each piece of blue chalcedony cannot be exactly the same. In some uneven corners and other places, gem technicians need to use personal experience to properly adjust the depiction of the magic circle.

It is also this inconsistency in materials that may cause some scrap rates during the production process.

Of course, scrapping does not exist here in Li Wen.

From beginning to end, the specially prepared waste basket was empty.

As the creator of this brand-new creation, Li Wen possesses unimaginable advantages and proficiency when making his own creations.

The complicated situation of the blue chalcedony only made Li Wen's speed a little slower occasionally, but even the slowest speed was unmatched by the four present.

There are fewer and fewer rough stones prepared in the raw material plate, and more and more return spells in the finished product plate.

"Chichi~"

Li Wen stretched out his hand to grab an empty space.

After recovering from the process of concentrating on making the charm, Li Wen looked at the place where the rough stone was... empty?
Looking to the other side, with the help of the spell servants, the trays containing the finished spells have neatly filled the entire shelf.

With a glance, the mage's calculation ability allowed Li Wen to calculate the total in an instant - 30 disks.

20 per plate, so 600?
"Tsk...too slow."

So you still have to find wage earners, how can you produce enough city return rolls for millions of players by yourself?

Li Wen's sigh was like turning on a clockwork switch behind the four of them.

Only then did they come back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.

However, even after regaining consciousness, the four of them still felt a tremor in their world view when they saw the finished charms filled with an entire shelf.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the whole shelf was finished by the same hand in just a few hours.

"Gudong."

The sound of swallowing saliva was uniform.

On this day, humans and elves jointly experienced the fear of being dominated by humans.

Just one!He is so fast!
It's all over soon!How could he maintain such a perfect state for so long!
If it wasn't for the lack of prepared raw materials, I don't know how long he can last.

For the first time in the life of a female wood elf, she has a deep understanding of the conceptual vocabulary of "challenge" and "speed brush".

Think about yourself again... the sense of accomplishment that comes from the heart when you complete a challenge is like completing some kind of challenge.

What a fart!
"Hey... are you here too?"

Li Wen was a little surprised to see the two elves there.

The efficiency of these elves is quite good, and the results are so fast.

"How is it? It should be relatively simple, right? How about the price?"

Li Wen feels that his model is like looking for a foundry factory, providing technology by himself, and others will contribute, and then put his own "brand" on it and sell it.

The male elf swallowed hard again, trying to strengthen his original position.

"Because...because of the difficulty of this skill...the difficulty is relatively high, so...so..."

After knocking and looking forward for a long time, the male elf couldn't take his eyes off the whole shelf of finished products, and finally sighed dejectedly.

"I can't go on."

At this time, the female wood elf who was still behind him took a step forward, staring at Li Wen with a kind of faith-like fanaticism.

"Our ability is limited, and we can't achieve the efficiency of Master Li Wen. Even if we want to, the low price can't persuade our clansmen to work hard, so...although I'm sorry, but the price we ask for can't be less at the price of a piece of 500 gold."

"too expensive……"

Li Wen frowned. Although the server has been opened for a while, the price is still not much different from the astronomical figure for players.

Li Wen was already dissatisfied with the price of 50 gold for the raw materials alone, and with the processing fee added, it was safe to say goodbye to the players.

The female wood elf looked at Li Wen with eager eyes.

"In fact, if Master Li Wen is willing to modify the blueprint and allow us to use chrysoberyl or blue crystal to make it, the difficulty will be much lower, and the durability will also be strengthened. I looked at using blue chalcedony The finished product can only be activated three times, which is too luxurious as a consumable.”

Li Wen frowned, unwilling to accept the other party's conditions.

He has tried all kinds of gemstones, even the standard scroll Li Wen, but regardless of the artificial technical cost, the final conclusion is that only blue chalcedony is the most cost-effective and the price is the most affordable.

"Then forget it……"

After a moment of silence, Li Wen still sighed and said.

The elves charged so much processing fees, it was impossible for him to transfer this cost to the players, let alone pay for it himself.

Then you can only work hard on your own, and then let the gem craftsmen in Jianfeng City learn as soon as possible, as much as you can.

Anyway, I didn't expect to spread all this stuff from the beginning. Anything must have a threshold of acquisition in order for players to follow it wholeheartedly.

A dog can't be housed!

Only with two-way giving can the relationship last forever...

"Then let's do it first."

Speaking regretfully to the elves, Li Wen said to Helen again, "Upload!"

Master Li Wen is not going anywhere today!Just fuck with these gems!
"correct……"

Li Wen pointed to a shelf full of finished products, "Let's release it to see the effect first, and set a threshold for obtaining it. I heard that you have a merit system? Just use that."

"it is good."

Helen agreed immediately.

Li Wen has high hopes for this thing, and she also wants to see the reactions of the Chosen Ones.
