The gods always like to create things. They create new species, or, according to their own appearance, pinch a new life and a new history.
A long, long time ago, I can't remember where it was, when Ashhivi Messertal heard this sentence.
During that time his hobbies were painting, sculpting, and making models.
The reason why he said it was "a hobby that was spread out" was because he himself didn't think he liked doing these things.
Actually he doesn't have any preferences.
The Motali Code says to love all things in this world equally, whether they are good or bad, whether they are beautiful or ugly, whether they exist in the past or the future.
Yet he doesn't like anything.
So he artificially found some hobbies for himself.
As long as you keep doing it consistently, it is easy to be thought that it is your hobby.
At first it was just painting, and then it naturally developed to the point where he could make a little sculpture, and later, he could make some mechanical products according to the existing objects, no matter how fast he made progress in the eyes of others, but he himself always He thinks that he has no talent in this area. He just has a good enough learning ability and can quickly learn the methods that others have thoroughly researched. He is not innovative.
Moreover, he always felt that the things he made were missing something. At that time, he thought that what he lacked was spirituality, but now, he knows that what he lacks is emotion.
It's just a mechanical manufacture of an item. He doesn't think this is a creation, it's just a simple manufacture. He has no feelings for the things he made and can easily destroy it.
At that time, he was only slightly impressed by one of the works.
That's fish.
A mechanical fish made of metal, with a snow-white body, a huge head, a tail made of special materials, light as silk, and small fins on both sides of the body, which can swim in the air, He made several "fish" and let them swim through the white palace.
Many people were stunned when they saw it. The fish that can slowly move through the air and wag their tails are really beautiful!
However, at that time, there was only one person who said something different:
"I saw fear, and there was fear in the eyes of these fish."
It was a dwarf who said this, and that was the first time she came to the Sunshine Hall to meet her.
He glanced at each other, and then his eyes fell outside the palace again. Those "fish" that had already flown out of the palace and were swimming in the air—
Now that I think about it, even the one time he rarely felt that he had created something was actually just a copy.
Those fish were just first sightings to others, and to him... it was just the big fish he had seen countless times.
After adjusting the image of the big fish, he made a new big fish out of metal.
He never paid attention to the look of the fish looking at him. He thought it was empty and full of killing intent, but in the end, it was said:
"…the eyes of these fish are full of fear."
Each fish corresponds to a fish he killed in a certain period of history, and the eyes of those fish are full of fear.
Now that I think about it, that's probably a way to give affection to the vessel, but the affection that was endowed didn't come from him, but from the original model of the vessel.
The former His Majesty Ashvi Messertal, and now Xiaomei, was sitting in front of the small workbench, with a boring dog-blood drama playing opposite. Make a black stone.
The workshop provided him with a full set of new tools. The old tools used before are completely incomparable to it. Even if it is the same material, using the new tools can increase the level of the finished product by at least two levels!
What's more, he still has all kinds of new materials. Although it is still incomparable with the materials he used before, not even the materials he used to make those fish, but the materials he can get now are still better than the ones he used. The material he uses for this body is much better now.
All the materials used to complete the commission are provided by the workshop. Therefore, by virtue of his work, he has really come into contact with a lot of materials that are currently available here. In addition, he can also use the staff price to get 30% off from the workshop. buy materials.
After making batches of hands, feet, arms, calves... After countless experiences, he finally calculated the most suitable material at present, and then began to prepare the body for Ronggui.
Because the materials used are very good, one month's points are only enough to buy materials for part of the body, so he does it slowly while practicing his hands.
After several months of accumulation and preparation, he has now made a pair of hands, a pair of arms, a pair of thighs, feet... He is now carefully pondering the torso part of the body.
The drawer under the workbench has long been out of use, and now he has put out a hanger outside—this is a bracket commonly used by craftsmen to make mechanical bodies. After each piece is made, they can hang the finished parts on the corresponding parts. position, and then fill it a little bit, so you can see the effect as you go.
So, at this moment, a semi-finished humanoid has already appeared beside Xiaomei.
If someone pushed the door and came in now and saw the scene in front of him, he would definitely be shocked, completely bewildered by the exquisite human figure he saw in front of him!
That's a pretty figure-
The torso part of the body is all made of white metal, like the best white porcelain skin, the soles of his feet are like jade, the shape of the fingernails is well-behaved and round, the calves are firm and full of strength, the thighs are slender, looking up, his palms are slender and powerful, The line of the arm connected to the wrist is extremely neat, and the neck is slender, like a swan neck. Looking up, half of the human-shaped face has been completed. Although there is only half of the face, the face is perfect! The delicate facial lines, the eyebrows are all decorated with fine metal wire, and the closed left eye has long and thick eyelashes. Just looking at him so quietly makes people imagine what the eyes are under his eyelids. color.
The black stone that Xiaomei is now carving is the eyeball he chose for this body.
During this time, when giving Ronggui's body massage, he has been trying to record Ronggui's body data, and he also pretended to casually ask Ronggui's preferences, as well as some invisible body data.
Such as eye color, hair color, and even the color of internal organs…
"Well... What color is your heart?" People of different races have different shapes, positions, and even colors of hearts. He really doesn't know the color of the internal organs of honorable people.
Ronggui... Of course he was dumbfounded by his question.
"That... I used to be in good health, and I haven't had open surgery..." Rong Gui scratched his head with a confused look on his face.
Then use silver-white ones. The silver-white internal organs are easier to identify, and they are easier to spot when they occasionally fall out. From a practical point of view, Xiaomei helped him make a decision.
Considering that Ronggui likes to carry handkerchiefs and mountain lard with him, he also designed a portable compartment for him in the abdomen, which can be directly stored when opened, and the entire cavity can be taken out for cleaning, which is very convenient;
There are pulleys open under the foot board, which can facilitate the way;
Doesn't Ronggui claim to be from a "nation that likes to plant"? He designed Ronggui's fingernails to be elongated, and when they are all stretched out, they can easily dig soil, just like two pairs of nails, it is very convenient to dig a hole and grow vegetables;
The charging cable is designed to stretch and shrink, so that Ronggui can continue to wander around the house while charging;
…
He really thought a lot about this from the perspective of Ronggui's usage habits. Xiaomei, who is carefully sculpting a black eyeball, may not have realized this.
However, even if he found out, he would probably put it down to "I am a thoughtful person."
However, through these details, it is not difficult to find that he really knows Ronggui very well now, maybe because of those portraits, maybe because of Ronggui's daily nagging and narcissistic self-praise... Unconsciously, in his heart The honor has taken shape.
Xiaomei didn't think so much. She rounded her eyeballs. He climbed onto the chair and raised his toes. He stretched out his arms to open the humanoid eyelids, slapped hard, and embedded the newly made eyeballs in.
A bit not bright enough - after thinking about it, he laboriously scooped out his eyeballs, then climbed off the chair and re-sculpted it.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and he took out a few blankets that he had prepared in advance, then covered the unformed human figure beside him, and then opened the door.
The person who entered the door was Labuji, one of the four dwarves, the dwarf who used to work in Yebala and was later assigned by Xiaomei to pull the bellows. After pulling the bellows for a month, his temper improved a lot, or he could not improve his skills. It's his temper. After that, his skills have improved significantly. Since then, he has admired Xiaomei very much, and now he is the number one follower of Master Mei~
"Master, Manager Philip has come with a guest." Labuji said loudly.
In fact, it was the guest who wanted to break in, but was stopped by Labuji, who stood in front of the door. He knocked on the door himself, and only let them in after getting permission.
Nodding her head, Xiaomei immediately said to Labuji, "Go and do things."
Bringing in the guests, he closed the door again.
This is the occasional "customer made to order".
The requirements of this kind of guests are trivial and cumbersome, most of them have money and materials, and often have a bad temper - this is the consensus among the staff in the workshop.
Therefore, although being able to receive customization is a glorious and profitable thing, most craftsmen are still too lazy to accept it.
The other masters were either not specialized in it, or resolutely refused to do so. When there was no other way, the manager had no choice but to bring the guests to the newly arrived Master Xiaomei.
"Turn off the TV, it's too noisy!" The guest shouted after pulling up the chair opposite the workbench and sitting down.
Xiaomei looked at him, picked up the remote control, and lowered the volume of the TV.
As soon as the TV was turned down, the guest's voice became more rude.
"I want to customize a new head. The new mechanical head needs to have enough nerves to be completely connected to my brain. I am a person who relies on my brain to eat. Can this... you, a little robot, do it?" Like, the guest frowned.
His eyebrows are also made of metal wire, and he has a mechanical face and a semi-mechanized body. Xiaomei casually glanced at his arm under the cloak. Not too young.
He's not young and has such a bad temper, no wonder he's getting old so fast - a voice of Ronggui suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ronggui is often pestered by Ronggui to talk about things at work. Once again, Xiaomei simply recorded the conversation of her reception of a customer who came to customize it, and played it back to Ronggui, which was what Ronggui said at the time.
It seems... Most of the customers who come to customize are really not young and have a bad temper - Xiaomei thought about it, and a little acquiescence.
Thinking about the events of that day, Xiaomei didn't speak, and the one who showed in front of the two of them was Master Mei, who was very cold and silent, and had the demeanor of a craftsman.
The manager hurriedly displayed images of Xiaomei's previous works, and read hundreds of pictures in a row, and the guests were a little convinced.
The voice also dropped.
"You are very good at making mechanical bodies... In this case, you can help me make an arm first." The guest said, raising his cloak to reveal the old arm below.
Glancing at the arm in front of her, Xiaomei moved for a while.
Pressing the call bell, he called in his assistants.
One person is in charge of measuring the size, one person is in charge of listening to the request, one person is in charge of recording, while the other person continues to brag about Master Xiaomei's past works.
Sitting in the wide chair with her back turned, Xiaomei only left a shabby figure for the guests.
Such a posture... It looks like a real master!
Frightened by Xiaomei's arrogant attitude, the guest's attitude was much lower when they finally went out. In the end, the manager was very grateful and withdrew.
After seeing off the guests, he came again and thanked Xiaomei again.
"That guest is very quirky. I had a quarrel with Master Luo De before, but fortunately, Master Mei, you got him here." The manager said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "After all , This guest's family has a lot of background, and we got a lot of materials through his channels, so it's really not easy to offend."
The manager didn't say much, and after fully expressing his gratitude, he put a beautiful small bag on Xiaomei's workbench.
"Master, your gloves are a little old. This is a small gift. Please accept the good gloves you bought from above."
After saying that, he left with a smile.
Look, this is another dwarf who doesn't fit the traditional image of people.
So sleek... It's not like the dwarf people think of it - with the back of the manager, Xiaomei thought to herself.
Turning up the sound of the TV again, Xiaomei continued to work, without any intention of putting on new gloves, he still wore the white gloves given to him by Ronggui, but when he got off work, he was ignored on the workbench. One afternoon's gift bag was picked up.
"Ah~ is it a present for me?" Ronggui was very surprised when he took the gift bag that Xiaomei handed over.
Anyway, there was rhubarb in the car, and there was nothing else to do in the car, so Ronggui happily opened the gift. When he saw the pair of exquisite white gloves below, Ronggui was stunned.
"This... This is what someone gave to Xiaomei, right?" Ronggui has long been popularized for gloves that can only be worn by third-level craftsmen. The reason why he made gloves for Xiaomei is precisely because he accepted that popularization. .
"It doesn't matter if you wear it at home. You can wear it when you are massaging your body." Xiaomei said blankly beside her, "Aren't your hands a little rusted from long-term immersion in water? The glove material used by the craftsman is very waterproof."
Ronggui glanced at Xiaomei's profile.
Well... because she doesn't have a nose, Mei's profile is very flat...
With a "click", Ronggui couldn't help but bumped his face on the flat side face.
"Thank you Xiaomei~ I love you to death!"
A gentle impact is Ronggui's way of expressing his gratitude as always~
So, that night, Ronggui put on new gloves to massage the bodies of the two of them. Xiaomei also wore gloves, but it was obviously worn and dirty, but it was the pair that Ronggui made for him at the beginning.
Don't wear new gloves, just wear them.
Ronggui tilted his head and happily massaged the two bodies~~
