Episode 26 If you want to do good work, you must first spend some money
"If you want to customize magic instruments, you need to entrust a caster." In the carriage, Donna said, "Casters believe in the 'God of Production and Craftsmanship'. To a certain extent, they are also favored by God."
"They use a special forging method to create the embryo."
"A qualified utensil embryo, in addition to its own material, will also form an order."
"The so-called space between orders is the space where the magic array is embedded."
"The more orders there are, the more magic arrays are embedded; the more stable the orders are, the more powerful the magic arrays are embedded."
"This is how magic tools work."
"In short, casters also make a lot of money!"
Donna and Rogo spread common sense about this world, especially the last sentence with an emphasis on tone, which shocked Rogo.
Make money?
Whose money is earned?
Of course, it’s money from customers like Rogo who are rushing to build it.
Rogo pinched his newly heated savings card nervously.
With more than 6,000 Bellas, you can't afford a set of kitchen utensils, right?
Is there any more heavenly justice?
At worst, just take a step back and be able to cope with your own low level.
"Who...are we looking for now?" Rogo asked.
Donna smiled: "Don't worry, he is my elder, and he made all my weapons for me."
“I won’t ask for extravagant prices!”
…
"Bah, black heart!" A knight walked past Rogo and said viciously. The knight's code prevented him from swearing, but the look in his eyes at Rogo said everything - this is a black shop, and it is far away from the store.
Farther away.
Rogo looked at the hut with a hammer pattern hanging in front of him, hesitating a little.
"What are you doing standing here? Go in!" Donna directly took Rogo's hand and walked towards the foundry workshop.
…
"Hey, little Donna, long time no see!" As soon as Donna pulled Rogo in, Rogo saw three burly men with their upper bodies bare, drinking wine around a small wooden table, facing the door full of people.
The bearded man saw Donna coming in and greeted her loudly.
"Grandpa Nelson, Uncle Nelson, Uncle Nelson, long time no see!" Donna also said hello, stepped forward, poured a glass of beer from the barrel, took a big sip, and then said, "You guys haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Is it business?”
"Huh, there are ignorant people everywhere!" Old Nelson, who seemed to be the oldest, snorted coldly, "If my hand hadn't been broken, I would still be here... huh? Little Donna, who is this person? Yours
Boyfriend?"
Nelson saw Rogo and quickly changed the topic. At this time, Rogo also noticed that Nelson's right hand seemed to have a prosthetic limb below the elbow.
"His name is Rogo, he is my...student!" Donna walked up to Rogo again and put her hand on Rogo's shoulder. "He wants to customize a batch of utensils."
Little Nelson, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Rogo and said, "I'm just a trainee knight. What kind of customization do you want? Just go to the magic shop and buy something that can be used."
Nelson also nodded: "That's right, your little boyfriend may not be able to afford our fees."
"I told you I'm not my boyfriend..." Donna stamped her feet, "I am his guide, so he is my student!"
But Donna's explanation only caused the three men to laugh.
"Um... I am a favored person of the gods." At this time, Rogo slowly spoke and said, "I need a batch of special kitchen utensils."
"Kitchenware that has never been seen in this world."
"Can you cast it?"
After Luo Ge finished speaking, the three big men immediately stopped laughing and looked at Luo Ge in unison.
"The one favored by God?"
"Kitchenware?"
"Never showed up?"
The three of them said one sentence each, and finally Nelson laughed and said, "It's a bit interesting."
"Young God's Favored One, what kind of kitchen utensils do you want?"
Rogo quickly stepped forward and took out the drawings he had prepared from his pocket.
"First of all, I need a kitchen knife that can cut vegetables, meat, and bones. The most important thing is that the blade can be used for shooting!"
There has always been a saying in Chinese food that "one kitchen knife can rule the world", but that refers to home-cooked food. For truly exquisite Chinese food, kitchen knives also come in many varieties, including slice knives, mulberry knives, bone chopping knives, barbecue knives, etc. However,
Luo Ge still doesn't use such professional classification, so this time he talks about the "civil and military swords" that ordinary people in his previous life had.
The front blade of the "Wenwu Sword" can cut, and the back blade can chop small bones, hence the name.
Old Nelson looked at the drawing given by Rogo. The kitchen knife on the drawing was completely different from the kitchen knives he had come into contact with before. Especially the wide back of the knife actually had a sense of stability and seemed to be naturally orderly.
"Then, I need a pot like this." Luo Ge took out a second drawing. "This pot is like a hat. It can be used for stir-frying and making soup."
"I think success can only be considered successful if there are no ingredients in the pot after cooking delicious food."
"Third, I need a soup pot like this that can be used to make thick soup." Luo Ge took out the third design drawing again, but on the design drawing, besides the soup pot, there was another object.
That's a steamer.
"At the same time, the object that matches the soup pot needs to be able to withstand high temperatures. I will probably make five of them first."
After talking about the three most important pieces of kitchen utensils in one breath, Rogo took out the fourth drawing.
Pictured above are large spoons, colanders and other small utensils commonly used by restaurant chefs.
"That's probably it." Rogo said, thought for a while, and added, "It's enough to satisfy low-level uses!"
At this time, the three Nelsons each held a design drawing, looked at it carefully, and exchanged views from time to time, like a seminar.
About ten minutes later, Nelson looked at Rogo and said, "We can complete this job."
"All the expenses added up will cost 800 beiras. Can you accept it?"
Rogo frowned slightly, the price was a bit higher than he expected.
A piece of equipment that can be called magic equipment basically starts at 150 bela. He now requires three large pieces and several small pieces to be customized. According to his budget, it is probably set at 500 to 600 bela.
Now the other party's quotation is 800...
^Seemingly seeing Rogo's hesitation, Nelson said: "The price can be cheap, but in that case, when you reach the three-star God's Blessed One, the kitchen utensils will be difficult."
“It is not uncommon for cooking failures or even energy explosions to occur due to unstable kitchen utensils.”
"800 Bellas guarantee that until you break through to the intermediate level, the feedback from the kitchen utensils to the God's Favored One will be constant."
"The extra expenses are actually used to stabilize the magic circle."
"The stable magic circle is the secret of our Nelson family!"
Rogo glanced at Donna, who gave Rogo a look that said, "You have to make your own decisions."
Rogo thought for a moment and nodded.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
If it really works out as they say, it's worth the money.
"make a deal."
After all, he still wanted to believe Donna.
"Okay, young beloved of God, please leave your address. We will deliver the kitchen utensils to you after we finish making them. It will take about ten days."
Rogo nodded, paid a deposit of 400 beiras, left the address of the Green Ant Guild, and left the Nelson Foundry Shack with Donna.
…
"You are smart, you know how to ask Grandpa Nelson and the others to help you make it." On the carriage returning, Donna stretched herself and gave Rogo a rare compliment.
Rogo asked curiously: "What is the origin of that old Grandpa Nelson?"
Donna shook her head and deliberately changed the topic: "Speaking of which, why has your cultivation level been so stagnant?"
"You don't even have the first level, how dare you become the guild leader?"
Rogo:(;￢＿￢)
If you don't say it, don't say it. What's the point of attacking people?
It’s only been a few days since you met me!
Donna seemed not to see Rogo's eyes, and said: "Let's go, I will take you, you take the money, and then go and complete the magic practice array!"
"These are the basic configurations of the guild!"
Luo Ge felt a pang in his heart: We need to spend money again? This chapter has been completed!
