Chapter 19
Chang Ming and Xiao Zhi communicated in consciousness, and they kept silent.During this time, Xiaozhi's "similar" still stayed in front of Chang Ming, waiting for his orders.

Chang Ming asked: "Where can I find the materials for basic accessories?"

The traffic light on the round-headed wooden man's neck flickered, and the words on the metal plate changed: "Please follow me."

It turned around, and the wooden wheel under its feet slid neither fast nor slow, just enough for Chang Ming to walk and keep up.

After turning around a few times, it slid between the two shelves. Chang Ming looked up, and saw that there were several shelves on both sides of the shelf with all kinds of wood, metal, and many strange materials that could not be recognized.

Chang Ming looked all the way, generally speaking, wood is the cheapest, while metal is more expensive.

Wood and metal are divided into different grades according to quality, with low grades being cheap and high grades being expensive.There is a kind of dragon scale wood, and some samples are placed. It is said to be a fourth-grade material, and the price is marked on it. It costs [-] silver coins per cubic meter.

This kind of wood is green all over, and the bark really looks like scales.Chang Ming picked it up and scraped it with his nails. It is not that kind of dense hardwood, but it has a special elasticity and toughness. It can be imagined that it is more suitable for many occasions.

The same is true for metals. For example, there is a grade [-] material called "Water Melting Gold", which is only a little bit the size of a finger. It is placed in a transparent box, and the price is as high as five gold coins per gram!
Thinking about the value of money in this world, I can't help but often scream.

The village chief was right, mechanism division is a profession that burns money.Think about it, if you need to use such materials in the future, wouldn't you buy them at the expense of everything?Of course, you can also find a way to collect it yourself, but this thing can be sold so expensive, and the difficulty of collecting it is definitely not ordinary.

But according to Xiaozhi, maybe these materials can be exchanged in the agency book in the future?

Thinking of this, Chang Ming looked forward to the upgraded version of the organ book.

Among the dazzling and rich materials, the most noticeable one is the one from the "Extraordinary Beast Area".Obviously, here are all the body materials of various animals, including skin, tendons, bones, blood, etc.

Tier [-] alien beast Gale Rabbit, Bell Frog... Tier [-] alien beast Split-tailed Cat, Fire Feather Sparrow... Tier [-] alien beast, Tier [-] alien beast...

Even for the body of the first-order alien beast, the material grade is still three-level, and the second-order alien beast has more than four-level materials. That is to say, the material grade of the golden bamboo python is all four-level or five-level according to different parts.

Chang Ming was not too surprised.He himself has the material of a whole golden bamboo python.After comparing, he felt particularly obvious.

The bamboo armor woven with broken gold threads is soft, thin and strong, with good air permeability, impenetrable by water and fire, and has excellent properties.Otherwise, the Lian family would not require Jinzhu Village to supply them for a long time, and the Qi family had objections because of this.

However, compared with the skin of the golden bamboo python, the broken golden bamboo armor is far behind.The same sharp blade can pierce ten or eight holes in the Broken Gold Armor, but it can't do anything to the Golden Bamboo Python at all.

Chang Ming didn't spend too much time on these materials.If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and you can't afford it no matter how long you look at it.

After thinking about it, he spent two hundred silver coins, all of which were used to buy secondary wood.This kind of wood is harder and denser than the ones he cut on the mountain, and can be used for Type II fittings.

After dinner, he didn't even save the hotel, he just found a corner and entered the organ room.

After sitting down, he immediately began to process the materials in hand.When Jutian Pavilion preserved these materials, they had undergone basic treatment. For example, the wood had been stripped of its skin and sawn into sections.

Chang Ming further decomposes them into corresponding sizes according to the types of accessories.

It would be surprising if someone was watching.Just like in Lao Cai's workshop, he strikes quickly and accurately, no matter whether it is chopping or sawing, there is no extra movement.You know, from the first-class wood to the second-class, the hardness and density increase, and the feel is completely different from before.But Chang Ming seems not to be affected by these things at all, and he handles them with ease.

After breaking down the wood into small pieces, Chang Ming began the next step.

Sawdust splashed, laying a thick layer on the floor of the mechanism room.It was already dark outside, but it was not affected here at all. No matter what time of the day, there was a bright sky shining through the dilapidated walls.

The light shone on Chang Ming's face, reflecting his focused eyes.

One hour, two hours... four hours, five hours.No matter how long it has passed, Chang Ming looks like he just came in, full of energy and concentration.

Only the dwindling wood and increasing accessories around him can tell the passage of time, and his whole mind is absorbed in the work at hand.Once again, he found that he really loved the job.He was born to do what he was supposed to do!

The system's beep would ring around him every few minutes.Type [-] parts have one-third more points than Type [-] parts, and the processing speed has not changed, so the points increase faster than before.

Five hours later, he came back to his senses and observed it.On average, he can make 110 parts per hour, and the speed increased slightly in the later stage, and he made a total of [-] parts in five hours.

Among these accessories, a quarter is a high-quality product, a quarter is a rough product, and the rest are all standard parts.

110 accessories added him more than 1000 points.

More than 1000 minutes in five hours... Chang Ming smacked his lips dissatisfied, feeling that it is not particularly ideal, and he needs to further improve his skills.

At this time, he felt a little tired, and fell asleep directly on the floor of the mechanism room.The sawdust stained his clothes, and he slept on the thick sawdust, which was as sweet as sleeping on a soft bed.Smelling the fragrance of wood and the smell of tools, he felt as if he had returned to his own home.

After six hours of sleep, he woke up again and checked the time.

It's four o'clock in the outside world, and you can work harder for a while.

He had to get the number plate for the assessment before nine o'clock, and before that, he had to sell the accessories.Otherwise, after buying the materials yesterday, I only have one hundred silver coins left, which is not enough for the assessment.

Chang Ming was immersed in work again.He didn't think there was anything wrong with racing against time like this.

Even with the help of a dilapidated organ alchemy room, the time is limited.He is still very weak now, he must maximize the use of time to make himself stronger!

At about eight o'clock, Chang Ming scored [-] points again and made [-] accessories.

The ratio of excellent has been slightly improved, to about 30%.There are fewer rough goods, and the products are still mainly standard parts.

After working hard all night, Chang Ming stood up and stretched long, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Working with all my strength like this, and feeling my improvement bit by bit, I feel really happy!
**********************************************
At eight o'clock, the sky is already bright.

The quiet Zihuai City became bustling again, especially the street nicknamed Organ Street, which was suddenly full of people and more lively than usual.

Most of these people came to receive their number plates and participate in the agency apprenticeship assessment.

The agency apprentice assessment requires two hundred silver coins, which is very valuable, but this is the dream of every ordinary person!
If you can become a mechanism apprentice, you can choose to work in a mechanism factory, or you can enter a mechanism workshop as an apprentice of a junior mechanism teacher.If the talent is particularly outstanding, and it is possible to be favored by an intermediate organist, then it is possible to become an official organist!
At that time, regardless of social status, living standards, or the money they could earn, they were far more than ordinary people.

However, this street is now much quieter than usual. The prospective apprentices who came to take the exam gathered together in small groups, carefully watching the two people at the gate of the agency guild.

They were two women, one was older, about 30 years old, her plump breasts and slender waist were drawn out by the thick belt unique to the mechanism master, and her pair of long and healthy legs were made even more slender by the tight-fitting trousers.With neat short hair, she looked heroic, but her eyes were a little more gentle when she looked at the girl next to her.

The girl next to her was slightly shorter than her, and her immature figure was obviously not yet grown up.But when she stood beside an adult woman, she didn't lose her momentum at all.

Anyone who sees her will feel that she is like a lake.

As clear as a lake, as calm as a lake, as soft as a lake, but indestructible.

There was nothing impurity in her expression, but it was not to be underestimated, as if she was born to be superior to others and worthy of respect from others.

The girl was wearing an ordinary purple gauze dress, without the signature belt of a mechanic.In fact, she has no decorations on her whole body except for a bracelet on her wrist.Could it be that she also came to participate in the agency apprenticeship assessment?
The grown woman smiled and said, "Hui'er, it's not good to be bored at home all the time, I still have to go out for a walk once in a while."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Sister Yingxue, thank you, I'm much better. I'm really a little irritable because I haven't been able to make the most important high-level organ."

The grown woman said, "Although it's a bit strange to say that, I'm actually quite happy to know that Hui'er, you are also upset."

The girl asked in surprise, "Why?"

The adult woman said: "Hui'er has been like a fairy since she was a child. Although she is not very old next year, she looks more mature than my older sister. It makes people feel a lot of pressure!"

The girl was silent for a moment, and breathed out again: "Uncles are very kind to me, and they hope that I can become a senior mechanism engineer as soon as possible, and give me whatever I need, regardless of the cost - thinking about it this way, I feel uncomfortable. Being the best is not enough.”

She frowned lightly: "But, I don't know why, obviously making that Chiba lotus can be promoted to a senior mechanism engineer, and can make my uncles happy, why can't I do it? It's a waste of so much gold Silky..."

The adult woman comforted her in a low voice, and after a while, she suddenly found that the girl was a little absent-minded.Of course, she didn't show any clues in her expression, but the adult woman watched her grow up and was very familiar with her, and she immediately caught the slightest emotion that leaked.

Hey, it's rare for this child to have such an expression...

The adult woman followed the girl's gaze and saw a young man coming out of an accessories store.When he went out, a middle-aged man brought him out with a smile all over his face, flattering him to the fullest.

There was a strange expression on the adult woman's expression, and the girl tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Sister Yingxue, do you know him?"

The adult woman was Lian Yingxue who went to Jinzhu Village to receive the goods. She was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Do you remember what I told you before, the young man who was particularly good at shredding gold in Jinzhu Village?" ?”

The girl nodded: "Yes, I have seen that batch of goods. The thickness and width of the broken gold wires are only half of the usual, but the quality has not dropped at all. But only nearly half of the finished products inside are like this—could it be that these broken gold wires Is this the guy who made it?"

As she said that, she looked at the young man again, with brilliant eyes!
