"Mr. Chu!"
"Master, have you agreed to see me?"
On the sofa, Chu Yuntian couldn't wait to say that it was related to 5,000 gold coins and he took it very seriously.
Gu Dayong shook his head. Chu Yuntian's heart suddenly sank. He said, "You don't agree? It doesn't matter. I'll come back next time to arrange the order."
"No, Master didn't disagree, but he didn't agree either."
"What does that mean?"
Gu Dayong took out a fist-sized piece of wood and said, "Master said that unless you can carve something he likes, you can't see me."
Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Chu Yuntian showed a happy expression on his face. A master should have the temper of a master. It's just carving one item, even if he carves ten items, he is willing to do it.
"No problem, Master Gu, I'll lend you your carving knife."
Gu Dayong handed the carving knife to Chu Yuntian. Seeing that Chu Yuntian was about to start carving without thinking, he quickly reminded him, "Mr. Chu, my master has a very high standard. Ordinary carvings are not good enough for him."
"I understand!" Chu Yuntian said as he started to operate the knife.
"… "
Gu Dayong rolled his eyes and thought to himself, you know shit. I've already told my master that he has a broad vision, and you still think you're a master and can carve anything with his discerning eye.
Originally he thought there was hope for Chu Yuntian, but when he saw him being so casual, he suddenly felt that hope was slim.
"Geniuses are too confident, and sometimes a little bit of a setback is good." Gu Dayong thought to himself. He thought Chu Yuntian was too confident. Geniuses are one in a million, extremely smart, and such people are naturally confident. But sometimes being too confident is not a good thing, it is easy to fall.
Gu Dayong had no idea that Chu Yuntian had carved thousands of things in the system space. He knew many of the carvings by heart, and when he saw this fist-sized object, he automatically thought of what he should carve.
One minute, two minutes...
In less than ten minutes, a sculpture was completed.
Chu Yuntian put down the carving knife, handed the work to Gu Dayong and said, "Master Gu, please deliver it to your master."
Seeing what Chu Yuntian carved, Gu Dayong's cheeks twitched. "You carved such an ugly thing and asked me to give it to my master. Are you sure he won't be angry and beat me to death?"
Gu Dayong felt like he was being cheated. He had to finish the hole he dug himself, even with tears in his eyes. He took Chu Yuntian's sculpture and said, "Young Master Chu, I will send the sculpture to the master. As for whether he will see you, I can't guarantee it."
After saying that, Gu Dayong took the finished sculpture and went upstairs. When he reached the third floor, Guang Chengming was still circling around the strange-shaped piece of wood.
"Master, the genius has already carved it. This is his work."
Seeing the carvings in Gu Dayong's hands, Guang Chengming's body trembled as if he had the hiccups. Seeing him like this, Gu Dayong thought he was angry and said quickly: "Master, although what Chu Shao carved is ugly, this is not his true level. He is just performing abnormally..."
“Art, this is real art.”
"Ah, what did you say? Master, do you think Mr. Chu is very good at carving?"
"It's more than good, it's perfect."
Gu Dayong widened his eyes. This ugly thing is also called perfect. Has the master stayed in the room for too long and his mind is not clear
"Master, I think the carving technique is very ordinary, and the carved objects are not beautiful..."
"What do you know?"
Guang Chengming looked at the sculpture in his hand as if he was looking at his lover, and said, "Actually, what you said just now is right. The carving technique of this artwork is average, and it looks very ugly, but this does not affect the fact that it is a perfect artwork. Do you know why?"
Gu Dayong's mind was almost a mess. He had no idea why. He shook his head wisely and waited for his master to explain.
"With your current level, it's normal that you can't tell. The most important thing about this artwork is not the image or technique, but its nature. Each cut is based on the direction of the material, so it looks like this sculpture is not carved, but formed naturally."
After hearing what Guang Chengming said, Gu Dayong also saw it. He also found that although Chu Yuntian's carvings were ugly, they looked quite natural. Suddenly, a crazy idea popped up in his mind. You know, it is not an easy task to sort out the natural traces of the carving materials. Even he can't do it now, but Chu Yuntian did it. Is this guy still human
A person who has just learned carving is better than him who has studied for decades. Gu Dayong feels that he has lived a dog's life. Fortunately, he knows that Chu Yuntian is not human, otherwise he would lose confidence.
"Master, do you want to meet this person?"
"See, must see!"
"Then I'll ask him to come up?"
"No, I want to see for myself what kind of amazing talent could carve such a work."
"… "
Master, you didn't want to see him just now, but now you want to go and see him in person. Isn't this a change of stance too fast
Ignoring Gu Dayong's slander, Guang Chengming had already walked downstairs.
Chu Yuntian was sitting on the sofa, just picked up the teacup to moisten his lips, when he saw an old man coming down from upstairs. The old man was in his seventies or eighties, with sparse gray hair, wearing a pair of old glasses and a white Tang suit.
Although I don't know the old man's identity, I can tell with a little thought that this person should be Gu Dayong's master, a leading figure in the sculpture world.
"Young man Chu Yuntian meets Mr. Guang."
“Did you carve this piece?”
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, old man."
"It's a nice carving. Why did you want to carve it like this?"
“I didn’t think about it, I just thought it should be carved like this.”
Guang Chengming's eyes lit up. Carving is often based on inspiration. Now Chu Yuntian discovered the most natural traces of carving based on his feeling. He is indeed a genius.
"Boy, are you willing to take me as your master?"
Become a disciple
Chu Yuntian was stunned. He just wanted Guang Chengming to give him some guidance, but how come it has turned into becoming his disciple now
"Why, you don't want to?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I treat carving as a hobby. I just play with it when I feel like it, and I don't plan to spend too much time on it, so..."
"Don't be so quick to refuse. As long as you are willing to take me as your master, I will introduce you to a beautiful girl."
"… "
What’s going on? In order to recruit a disciple, he even used the beauty trap
"Let me tell you, this girl is one of the three most beautiful women in the capital. I wouldn't agree to introduce her to someone even if someone begged me to do so."
The three beauties of the imperial capital
Is this true or false
If it's true, it doesn't seem to be a bad idea to worship a master for a beautiful woman. But why does this old man look like he's trying to fool people
"Think carefully, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store."
"Beauty is nothing. I admire Master's carving skills. Disciple Chu Yuntian pays homage to Master."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Guang Chengming's old face was almost turning into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and he looked more and more satisfied when he saw Chu Yuntian's expression. Chu Yuntian ran to Guang Chengming happily, helped him sit on the sofa, and said, "Master, is that beautiful woman your relative?"
"She is not my relative, but the daughter of my mortal enemy. Old Li often makes me angry. Now I let my disciple date his granddaughter, which can be regarded as revenge. Disciple, you have to fight for your master."
"… "
The granddaughter of my mortal enemy!
Chu Yuntian felt like a thousand horses were running through his mind. Whether the other party was willing to pay attention to him was already a question. Now, if he was asked to date the granddaughter of his mortal enemy, he might be kicked out of the sky before he even met her.
He was only thinking about beautiful women and ended up being fooled by the Japanese.
Even old men have started using tricks these days. How can we still have fun
The beauty is gone, and the 5,000 gold coins cannot be wasted. Since I have found a cheap master, I can’t waste it. I would be sorry to myself if I don’t learn all his skills.
"Master, I'm not interested in women. Let's talk about carving."
"Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach you without reservation. Now let's go to the third floor."
"good!"
Chu Yuntian followed Guang Chengming to the third floor. Every time he came to a material, he would explain to Chu Yuntian how to choose the material, and sometimes he would even demonstrate it himself.
One hour, two hours...
The two of them stayed on the third floor for a full eight hours. During these eight hours, Guang Chengming was talking and Chu Yuntian was listening, occasionally interrupting and asking a few questions.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Grand Master-level Sculptor inheritance, and the reward is 5,000 gold coins."
Hearing the system's prompt, Chu Yuntian smiled brightly. He had spent so much time and effort to become a disciple, and it was not easy to earn these 5,000 gold coins.
"Ding Dong, the host has obtained the Grand Master-level inheritance for the first time, and is rewarded with a paid lottery."
The next moment, a turntable appeared in Chu Yuntian's sea of consciousness. The rewards on the turntable included gold coins, items, and courses.
The gold coins are divided into three levels: 000, 6000, and 9000 gold coins.
The courses are intermediate course, advanced course and ultimate course.
The items are Volcanic Potion, Invincibility Scroll, and Strengthening Liquid!
The rewards were all very good, especially the strengthening liquid. Chu Yuntian had personally experienced the effect of the strengthening liquid. If he could get another bottle of strengthening liquid, he was confident that he could break through to the Grandmaster level in one fell swoop.
The Invincible Scroll can greatly enhance his strength. This is a defensive scroll. Once the scroll is used, his defense will be greatly enhanced. Even a master at the Grandmaster level will not be able to break his defense within a minute.
The volcanic potion can make a person's strength explode like a volcano, at least increasing their strength by three times for three minutes, and at most increasing their strength by ten times for ten seconds.
"Ding Dong, is the host willing to conduct a paid lottery?"
“What does paid lottery mean?”
"It costs gold coins, 000 gold coins per draw."
"Fuck, 000 gold coins, why the hell don't you go and rob them?" Chu Yuntian was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Now his entire net worth was only 6,000 gold coins. He became a pauper after two draws. Now he finally understood the nature of this cheating system. It would not stop until it made him penniless. (To be continued)
