I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

Bi Xiaoxiao and Chu Chu felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

I was instantly confused.

Completely unable to react.

It was as if the pride and elation just now had completely turned into a laughing stock.

The Nirvana series clock, which was shining brightly just now, suddenly became dim.

Bi Xiaoxiao and Chu Chu are the most professional.

They could tell at a glance that this pocket watch completely crushed the table clock.

There is no need for any fancy functions, as long as the time is accurate, it is completely sufficient.

Chu Chu suddenly stood up and said: "Don't be deceived by appearances. We have also studied this in depth..."

Wuque said: "Pocket watch."

Chu Chudao said: "We have also studied this kind of pocket watch in depth and designed several versions of the manuscript. But it is impossible to make it. Even if it can be made, the time will be very inaccurate."

"Excuse me, my lords, what is the use of an inaccurate pocket watch? The time of important people is very precious, and even a few minutes of delay may lead to serious consequences."

"So I'm sure that the pocket watch made by Zhifan will definitely not keep accurate time!"

Wuque said: "It's empty words, just watch quietly."

Next, Governor Tumen ordered that ten clocks be moved and visited there neatly.

Zhifan also placed this pocket watch among ten clocks.

Next, just wait quietly.

A quarter of an hour.

half an hour.

An hour passed.

Everyone can clearly see that the time of this pocket watch is still extremely accurate.

Because there is no absolute standard time in this world, but at least compared with these ten clocks, there is no error at all.

The error for a full hour is not even half a second.

And it seems that pocket watches are even more accurate.

Because it matches the time of most table clocks.

Wuque said: "Each of our pocket watches has a special imprint from the Zhaixing Pavilion, which means that the daily time error will not exceed nine seconds. The standard is to exceed all table clocks on the market."

Chu Chu said again: "No! There is actually only one pocket watch. It took Ji Fan several years to make the only one when he was in the Zhai Xing Pavilion in Zhenhai City. This is just a sample, and it is impossible to mass-produce it on a large scale. Produce!"

In a sense, Chu Chu guessed it right again.

But everything changed after Shen Wuque discovered the secret laboratory of the Dark Academy.

Not only can this pocket watch be mass-produced, but it also keeps time more accurately.

Wu Que looked at Chu Chu, and she seemed to have become an even crazier gambler.

She has given everything for this battle, so she must not lose.

Without saying anything, Wuque clapped his hands.

Jiumogang came in carrying a box and pulled out boxes one after another.

Each box is very rough and has no sense of refinement.

But this does not delay every pocket watch inside, which is worth thousands of gold.

Ten.

Fifty.

One hundred.

Two hundred.

Five hundred!

A total of five hundred pocket watches were placed on the table.

Moreover, the travel time of every pocket watch is extremely accurate.

A moment...

Chu Chu and Bi Xiaoxiao felt cold all over.

Wuque said slowly: "Is this considered mass production?"

Five hundred pieces, of course it’s mass production?

Wuque said: "As you know, we have just moved to Baiguling, which is a very poor place, so the production cannot increase for the time being. Next year, our production will reach 2,000."

Two thousand?

All the businessmen present were scratching their heads.

How big is the market for this pocket watch?

The wealthy and aristocratic people all over the world would sell them all, at least hundreds of thousands of them.

Let alone two thousand per year, let’s say five thousand per year.

This business can last a lifetime.

Moreover, it is a monopoly business and it is completely a seller's market.

This thing is different from a desk clock. A family may only need one desk clock, not two or three.

But a pocket watch?

The earl bought it, does the lady want it? Do you want a concubine? Prince, do you want it?

This kind of luxury product that completely represents vanity is enough to squeeze the wealthy families to their heart's content.

Governor Tumen, King Piaoling, and everyone on the merchant committee were also extremely excited.

This is really a revolution of time!

Even Governor Tumen felt greed in his heart, and there should be no more Admiralty Conferences in the future.

Just leave it all to our Piaoling City for sale, and leave it all to our Merchant Committee.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the five hundred pocket watches that Shen Wuque brought with him to leave Piaoling City.

Members of the merchant committee, everyone must buy one, or even more than one.

There are also businessmen who participate in the Admiralty Conference, and even all the wealthy businessmen who come to the trade conference, will be keen to buy it.

Because all businessmen immediately had a concept in their minds.

There are only 500 of these first batches in total, and they are limited worldwide.

How much value will it add in the future?

Who knows.

If you buy it, you will earn it.

Moreover, the world's first pocket watches were completely a status symbol.

Wuque took out a gold pocket watch from his arms and said, "My wife made this for me with her own hands. It took several years. But it's a pity that I can't have this pocket watch."

"My lords, I know that you want to buy these pocket watches, even at any price. I want to say that you cannot own these pocket watches."

"No one can own the Zhaixingge pocket watch, it is just preserved for future generations."

Depend on!

This is the right thing to say.

Only us rich and noble people like this.

This Miss Chu Chu just now kept talking about freedom and that all people are created equal. We don't like to hear it.

It's just so great and honorable that we have to applaud.

But even wealthy businessmen who rose from slaves are absolutely unwilling to talk about bullshit equality.

I was a slave before, but now I am a wealthy businessman. If we don’t have a large number of slaves, who will serve us?

I firmly support the current class.

This is how people are, whatever class they are in, they will uphold their position.

Once the class changes, the position also changes immediately.

In fact, the only person present who agreed with Chu Chu's concept was Shen Wuque.

After all, he is a person who grew up under the red flag.

But... what's even more tragic is that Chu Chu herself shouted that all people are created equal, but she just wanted to achieve nirvana and complete a class jump.

Once she becomes a big shot, she will not care about the life and death of little people.

Just shouting slogans.

Governor Tumen said slowly: "Last night, Young Master Shen Wuque and Young Master Shen Wuyu both announced that there is only one Star Reaching Pavilion in this world!"

"The losing party will have all their products confiscated."

"If the Zhai Xing Pavilion represented by Chu Chu and Bi Xiaoxiao loses, then they will hand over 2,000 clocks to Ji Fan for free. On the contrary, Shen Wuque and Ji Fan must hand over 500 pocket watches to Miss Chu Chu and Bi Xiaoxiao."

"The loser will never be allowed to engage in the watch business."

“Next, it’s time to decide whether to win or lose.”

"All businessmen attending the Golden Bell Conference, please vote. There are a total of ninety-nine people on my list."

"Get ready to vote!"

The ninety-nine businessmen who participated in the Golden Bell Conference were completely ready to make a move.

Why are you hesitating?

I will definitely vote directly for Xie Fan and Shen Wuque.

Pocket watches are the future and can bring them a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.

Who can have trouble with money?

However, at this moment, Chu Chu suddenly said in a cold voice: "Slow down!"

Everyone looked at Chu Chu, what happened to this beautiful girl? At this point, are you still unwilling to admit defeat?

Chu Chu said coldly: "Businessmen, when you show your hands to vote, please consider the policy risks."

Everyone is shocked?

Policy risk?

What's the meaning?

Chu Chu said: "Your Excellency Shen Wuque, Miss Zhifan, can I ask you a few questions?"

Zhifan said: "Excuse me."

Chu Chu said: "Why didn't you produce pocket watches when you were in Zhaixing Pavilion?"

Zhifan said: "Because the conditions are not yet mature."

Chu Chu said: "According to my understanding, although this pocket watch looks like a desk clock that has been shrunk many times, the manufacturing difficulty has increased by more than ten times, right?"

Zhifan said: "Yes."

Chu Chu said: "The conditions in Zhenhai City's Zhai Xing Pavilion are more than ten times better than those in Bone Collar, right?"

Zhifan said: "Yes!"

Chu Chu said: "When you rebelled against Zhenhai City, none of the craftsmen in Zhaixing Pavilion were willing to follow you to Bone Collar, right?"

At this time, many people discovered Chu Chu's speaking style.

That is nine truths and one lie.

Every word she said sounded true, but it was mixed with 10% lies, and these lies would be accompanied by vicious attacks.

She has always been good at using this cleverness.

First of all, what is rebellion?

Secondly, all the craftsmen of Zhaixing Pavilion did not know what happened at that time. The time was too urgent and Zhifan had no time to notify anyone. He did not even have time to pack his luggage and had to follow Wuque to the Bone Collar.

But Zhifan ignored these verbal traps and nodded directly: "Yes!"

Chu Chu said: "Then I'm very surprised. This pocket watch is ten times more difficult to produce than a table clock. Moreover, the conditions in Baiguling are more than ten times poorer than in Zhenhai City. Do you have any craftsmen on hand? How did you make these pocket watches? Where is it produced?”

Zhifan said: "What do you want to say?"

Chu Chu said: "Teacher, I want to ask you a few questions."

Master Jingqing said: "Yes."

Chu Chu said: "Are there many places in this world where secret laboratories of the Dark Academy are hidden?"

Master Jingqing said: "Yes."

Chu Chu said: "Is it possible that the people in the Dark Academy have been studying clocks for a long time?"

Master Jingqing said: "Yes."

Chu Chu said: "Is it possible that these pocket watches were not produced by Zifan at all? Instead, Shen Wuque discovered a secret base of a dark academy, which happened to contain 500 pocket watches produced by the dark academy, and then They put the Zhaixingge logo on it and take it as their own?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Chu Chu continued: "Otherwise, this cannot be explained at all?"

Then, she looked at Shen Wuyu and said, "Second brother, I want to ask you a question."

Shen Wuyu said: "Okay."

Chu Chu said: "Have the members of the Shen Gong family checked the Bone Collar several times? They have also checked the so-called Star-Zhaing Pavilion in Jifan. All of them are disabled people, and the conditions are extremely simple. Even the simplest clock is not produced. No, let alone a pocket watch that is ten times more precise?”

Shen Wuyu said: "The Shen Gong family has indeed inspected the so-called Star Picking Pavilion in Baiguling. Both the equipment and personnel are very primitive and cannot produce clocks."

Chu Chudao said: "As we all know, every craftsman who produces a clock needs to be trained for several years before he can produce it. It has only been a year since Ji Fan arrived at the White Bone Collar, and the people there are all disabled."

“Without equipment, without workshops, without craftsmen, how can we produce pocket watches?”

"So the only explanation is that these pocket watches are not produced by you at all. There is a high probability that you found them from the secret base of the Dark Academy."

"Businessmen, please think clearly. The Dark Academy is the public enemy of the entire world. Once it is proven that it is a product of the Dark Academy, the consequences will be disastrous. Not to mention the glory and wealth, even the family business and life will not be saved. It may not even be possible!”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the merchants changed drastically.

Once it comes to the Dark Academy, it's really not about making money, it's about treason.

Money is important, but it also has to be spent wisely.

When Chu Chu saw that she was about to turn things around with just a few words, she immediately kept up her efforts.

She picked up a pocket watch and handed it to the Master of Exquisiteness: "Teacher, come and take a look, this extremely precise pocket watch should not be made by Zifan, right? Is there a high chance that it is a product of the Dark Academy?"

Then, Chu Chu looked at everyone and said: "My teacher, Master Jingqing, is an important member of the ink department of Sky Book City. He has the most authoritative right to explain precision machinery, and he also has the authoritative right to explain the products of Dark Academy!"

Awesome!

This is directly to use the authority of the Master of Fine Arts to completely kill Zhifan's pocket watch politically.

It’s true that I have studied at Sky Bookstore for many years, and I am very proficient in mastering political methods.

However, all the businessmen present really did not dare to take this risk.

Because the Alchemy Department and the Ink Industry Department of Sky Bookstore really have the final right of interpretation.

Once Sky Bookstore determines that Shen Wuque's pocket watch is a product of the Dark Academy, no one will dare to use it, no one will dare to wear it, and no one will dare to sell it.

To sell it would be to commit rebellion.

Faced with invisible policy risks, no one dares to touch them.

At least businessmen in the Eastern world dare not touch it.

The master of craftsmanship took the pocket watch and the magnifying glass and studied it carefully for a long time.

Everyone stared at him, waiting for his judgment.

The current situation is very familiar to me.

The referee took the field himself.

A contestant and a referee.

Master Jingqing is going to use his authority to suppress Shen Wuque and Xie Fan.

After studying for half a quarter of an hour, the Master of Exquisiteness slowly said: "Zhao Fan is my student. She is very, very outstanding. But she is not enough to produce such a sophisticated pocket watch."

As soon as these words came out, Zhifan's face turned pale.

Angry, angry.

This pregnancy was obviously designed and made by her.

Especially the one she gave to her husband, it was almost completely polished by hand.

Now, Master Jingqing has directly denied her, which is confusing right and wrong, and slandering her for stealing.

Then, Master Jingqing raised his head and said calmly: "Zhao Fan, you are very smart! But I have always told you not to be opportunistic, to be down-to-earth and to strive for excellence. Now you make me very disappointed. You are too exaggerated and too impetuous. "

grass!

Who is taking advantage of others?

Who owns the Star Picking Pavilion in Zhenhai City?

Who designed and built the core components of the two thousand clocks that Shen Wuyu shipped this time?

Master Jingqing said sadly: "Xiao Fan, you were not like this before. But since you followed Shen Wuque, your mentality has completely changed. Where is your artistic pursuit? Where is your moral character? You are no longer worthy of being my disciple. ”

The whole body of Zhifan was cold.

Wuque stepped forward, held her little hand, and wrote on her palm: "Is it so cold? I don't drink Sprite."

Xie Fan understood instantly, and his body couldn't help but feel a slight shiver.

If you say you don’t want to drink, don’t you?

I want you to drink it.

Finally, Master Jingqing said slowly: "According to my judgment, there is a nearly 80% chance that this pocket watch is a product of the Dark Academy."

Suddenly, the whole place trembled.

Master Jingqing said: "I am willing to take responsibility for this conclusion, and I will also report this matter to the Ink Industry Department of Sky Bookstore."

This sentence would almost kill Shen Wuque and Xie Fan.

Then, Chu Chu said coldly: "Your Excellency Shen Wuque, Miss Zhifan, you are too bold. I can understand that you will do anything to win, but you dare to take things from the Dark Academy. You are really asking for your own death."

Master Jingqing said slowly: "Here, I officially announce that I will expel Zhifan from the door!"

The overall situation is decided!

Shen Wuyu, Bi Xiaoxiao, and Chu Chu had a proud smile in their eyes.

Then, Chu Chu said: "Businessmen, you can vote by a show of hands."

The expressions of all the businessmen were very solemn.

No one dares to take this risk.

All the businessmen looked at Wu Que and Xie Fan with eyes full of sympathy and suspicion.

What Chu Chu said just now spoke completely to their hearts.

This pocket watch is so sophisticated. You don’t have any craftsmen or equipment in the White Bone Territory. How did you make it?

So I’m very sorry. Although this pocket watch is very good, we can’t take it.

We have to vote. Chuchu and Bi Xiaoxiao’s Zhaixing Pavilion won.

Sorry!

“Hahahaha…” Shen Wuque laughed out loud.

Then he stood up and said slowly: "It's really strange. My Shen family has no backers in the upper echelons of the empire, nor in the upper echelons of Sky Book City. But after my second brother woke up, the Mi Palace stopped suppressing us, and the people of Sky Book City supported you at all costs. It's so weird."

"Before, there was an old immortal thing called Li Mubai, who was the Yin-Yang Grandmaster of Sky Book City! He also used his authority to endorse that I was a body-stealer, that I was not Shen Wuque, and that I was a demon spirit."

"What was the result? The four Yin-Yang masters under his command were killed alive by me."

"Not only did I prove my innocence, I also slapped Li Mubai, the old immortal, in the face several times."

"Master Jingqiao, it's your turn now, you old fool!"

As soon as these words came out, Master Jingqiao's face changed drastically and he was furious!

He was highly respected and had never been humiliated in public like this.

Wuque said coldly: "Master Jingqiao, do you think you are going to retire? Someone gave you a price you can't refuse, so you stood up to defend Shen Wuyu? Who offered you the price? King Mi? How much did he offer you? Let you, an old bitch, sell your dignity without hesitation?"

"Shen Wuyu, I really doubt now that it is not Shen Wuyu in your body, but another soul. You are the one who took over the body."

Shen Wuyu said slowly: "Wuque, getting angry and embarrassed will not solve the problem."

Wuque said slowly: "Chuchu, you said that this pocket watch is so sophisticated, it must be the product of the Dark Academy. We just took it for ourselves, right? You think that we are all disabled people in the White Bone Territory and can't produce watches at all?"

Chuchu said: "Of course!"

Wuque clapped his hands and said: "I knew you would have such a thing, come here!"

Suddenly...

A child walked in.

About thirteen or fourteen years old.

She is also disabled, with only one leg and one hand.

And only one of her two eyes is normal.

Although she is already fourteen years old, she is less than 1.2 meters tall.

She looks very short and delicate.

But she is very beautiful and delicate.

It seems that she is appearing in this occasion for the first time.

Wuque stepped forward and carried her to the stage like a child, and said gently: "Tell everyone, what is your name and where are you from?"

The girl said shyly: "My name is Lingling, I am from Baiguling, and I am the apprentice of Aunt Zhifan."

Zhifan corrected on the side: "It's the elder sister."

The girl hurriedly said: "I am Aunt Zhifan's elder sister."

Suddenly, everyone gave a kind and loving smile.

The child was too nervous.

Wuque said: "How long have you been learning to make watches with Sister Zhifan?"

The girl said: "More than half a year."

Wuque said: "Then can you show how you make these pocket watches?"

Lingling said: "Okay."

Next!

The real performance began!

Wuque opened a box, and there were hundreds of parts scattered all over the floor.

Everyone was stunned.

Is this pocket watch so complicated?

Lingling only had one hand intact, and the other hand was incomplete, only one-third the size of a normal hand.

However, she moved very quickly.

Using the tools in her hands, she assembled these parts.

Her hands were extremely dexterous, and her five fingers seemed to be dancing.

In less than half an hour.

She assembled a complete pocket watch.

However, the performance was not over yet.

Next, she blindfolded herself and could not see anything.

Wuque took the pocket watch from the master of exquisiteness and said, "Chuchu, you said that this pocket watch is a product of the Dark Academy, and we just took it for ourselves, right? Next, please verify it!"

Then, he handed the pocket watch to Lingling.

The real gorgeous performance began.

Lingling, who was blindfolded, was extremely dexterous and completely disassembled the pocket watch.

It was disassembled into hundreds of parts.

Then, Wuque handed these important parts to Governor Tumen, Marshal Li Huamei, King Piaoling, and the merchants present.

"Use a magnifying glass to see if there are any special marks of Zhaixing Pavilion on these parts?"

Everyone took the magnifying glass and looked at it in the sunlight.

Damn!

There really are!

In the entire pocket watch, at least dozens of parts have special marks of Zhaixing Pavilion.

Wuque put a part in front of Master Jingqiao, then put the magnifying glass in front of his eyes and said, "Old idiot, old bitch, take a good look, is there any special mark of Zhaixing Pavilion on this part?"

Then, he took back all the parts and put them in front of Lingling.

"You said that the people in Baiguling are useless and can't become watchmakers. Chuchu, open your dog eyes and take a good look at how smart and powerful the children of our Baiguling are!"

Next!

A miracle that no one can forget.

This Lingling was still blindfolded and could not see anything.

The dismantled pocket watch was reassembled.

A full forty minutes.

Reassembly completed.

This pocket watch is intact and keeps time.

Then, Wuque said word by word: "Master Jingqing, what else do you have to say now? Can the people in my Bone Collar become the best watchmakers? Is it a hundred times better than those idiots in Zhenhai City?"

The master's face twitched, and he said word by word: "So what? What does this prove? You can completely disassemble these pocket watches from the Dark Academy, mark them with the Star Reaching Pavilion's mark, and then reassemble them."

"So, I still maintain my previous judgment. These pocket watches are 80% likely to be the products of the Dark Academy. I am responsible for this conclusion and will report it to the Ink Industry Department of Sky Bookstore!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

This, this is so despicable and cruel.

Before retiring, the Master of Finesse must make full use of his remaining power and authority.

Just want to shoot Shen Wuque to death.

"Hahahahahaha..." Shen Wuque laughed loudly again: "Master Jingqing, I want to ask you a question! You are the master of the Star Reaching Pavilion, so does this Nirvana Clock really have anything to do with you? Really? Did you design and build it?”

Everyone is shocked?

Is this your Shen Wuque's counterattack?

It's completely useless.

The exquisite master said: "Of course, this Nirvana series clock has completely surpassed the previous Starry Sky series clock. Of course it was designed and built by me."

Wuque said: "Are you sure? You didn't steal anyone's work? Was it completely designed and built by you?"

Master Jing said: "I'm sure!"

"Very good, very good, very good..." Shen Wuque suddenly showed an extremely cruel smile.

"Last time, even though I slapped the great master of Yin and Yang, Li Mubai, in the face, I couldn't kill him. I'm very, very sorry." Wuque said slowly: "But I won't have this regret today. Master Jingqing, you old fool, really If you seek your own death, I can shoot you to death today."

Then, Shen Wuque raised the Nirvana Clock and shouted: "This dial can glow in the dark, and the hands and scales can glow in the night. You will be very surprised!"

Everyone nodded. They just saw the Nirvana clock face glowing in the dark, allowing people to tell the time at night. It was really amazing.

"The Master of Exquisiteness said that he personally designed and built this Nirvana clock."

"but……"

"but……"

"But do you know what this glow-in-the-dark thing is?"

"This is a radioactive mineral, it's called radium!"

"Back then, King Uzi wanted to seek refuge in Sky Book City, but he was framed to death by people from the Western Holy See. What killed him was a luminous pearl. This luminous pearl was made of radioactive minerals, and it was the same as the Nirvana Clock. The luminous agent on them is exactly the same!”

"The Master of Exquisiteness said that this Nirvana series of clocks was made by him."

"I officially report to the Sky Book City Inspection Agency! Master Jingxing is the undercover agent of the Western Holy See in Sky Book City! I suspect that the death of King Uzi was related to him, and I suspect that the Roulan massacre was also related to him!"

"He used highly toxic minerals to make the clock in order to kill the elites of the Eastern world and achieve his ulterior and insidious purpose!"

"The imperial court will know, and the Holy Master of Sky Book City will also know!"

"A sinister and despicable undercover agent like Master Jingxiao should be cut to pieces and executed in Lingchi!"
